I am a nervous flyer - here are some crystals that help soothe my anxiety

 



In two days I am boarding a plane and heading from Sydney Australia to Ireland. That is one long trip!

I have to constantly make sure that I do not focus on the fact that I am sitting in a big tin can high up in the sky so I do not get too claustrophobic.

I try to watch a movie or sleep, and, as I have a very busy life I finally allow myself to sit in gratitude and be thankful that I am travelling, but also, that whilst I am on that plane, I really do not have to do anything.

I can just sit back.

So much pressure just disappears.

I cannot lie, I sometimes will use tablets to help relieve stress and anxiety, especially if there is turbulence and that isn't very often. But, as I get vertigo, I cannot afford to lose my composure or it’s not going to be pretty.

Do I carry some crystals with me?

Yes I do!




I use them as touch stones so that if I need to, I can roll them between my fingers to calm my nerves.

I often also wear a crystal bracelet or two and I start keeping them close by 24 hours before my flight. I will pop one or two crystals in my pocket and take them with me during the day, or will place them in my pillow case so that I can sleep on them the night before the flight.

This is preparing me and my mind by creating a settled mindset. I tell myself that, “I’ve got this”.

When it comes to choosing crystals to carry for anxiety on a plane, there are several options that can help promote a sense of calm and relaxation. Here are five crystals that I often recommend for anxiety:

Amethyst: Known for its calming and soothing properties, amethyst can help reduce stress, anxiety, and promote relaxation. It is also believed to provide a sense of protection. This is always my favourite crystal.

Lepidolite: This crystal is known for its calming and balancing energy. It is often used to reduce anxiety, alleviate stress, and promote emotional well-being. It’s hues of blue and purple are just so pretty and I actually like to wear this stone as a necklace.

Blue Lace Agate: This crystal is associated with tranquility and calmness. It can help soothe anxiety and promote a sense of inner peace. Blue lace agate is also known for its gentle energy. It is such a beautiful blue colour and great for focusing on.

Rose Quartz: This crystal is often referred to as the stone of love and compassion. It can help create a sense of emotional balance, relieve stress, and promote feelings of peace and tranquility. It’s a good one to always have in your crystal collection but I guess it’s not the one I would choose first.

Black Tourmaline: This crystal is believed to have grounding and protective properties. It can help absorb negative energies, reduce anxiety, and create a sense of stability. I wear a lot of black so I have a lot of tourmaline rings set in silver.

I hope this has helped you if are going to be travelling and maybe have never tried taking a few crystals with you to help calm you down. I’m already charging mine and my choices for this journey are amethyst and blue lace agate.

Lemon Tree Passage Ghost - Local legend is alive and well

Lemon Tree Passage  is a suburb of the Port Stephens local government area in the Hunter Region of New South Wales, Australia, located at the end of the Tilligerry Peninsula and surrounded by the waters of beautiful Port Stephens .  Ever since I can remember there have been a few urban legends about a stretch of highway named Lemon Tree Passage Road. The story begins when a motor bike rider and his pillion passenger died after colliding with a four wheel drive killing both. This seems to be the source of the ghostly lights and apparition. These sort of events don't stay quiet in small townships. Stories spread fast often not ending up like they started. Every so often this urban legend makes a comeback with a number to people tempting fate and poking the ghost rider.             A memorial to Dale Dickens on the Lemon Tree Passage Road / Pic: Robert Mckell Source:The Daily Telegraph The  Lemon Tree Passage ghost  f...

The Haunted History of the Hydro Majestic Hotel: Ghosts in the Mist of the Blue Mountains

Perched on a cliff’s edge at Medlow Bath with sweeping views of the Megalong Valley, the Hydro Majestic Hotel stands as a jewel of Edwardian architecture—and a hotspot for paranormal activity. Known for its luxurious past and distinctive Art Deco charm, this grand hotel also harbours chilling tales of tragic deaths, spectral figures, and eerie encounters that have become part of Blue Mountains folklore. A Brief History of the Hydro Majestic Established in 1904 by retail tycoon Mark Foy, the Hydro Majestic was originally designed as a hydropathic retreat, offering mineral water therapies and strict diets in the European spa tradition. Foy imported marble, mirrors, and even a dome from Chicago, installing them in the now-famous Casino Lobby and Grand Dining Room. Over the decades, the hotel transitioned into a glamorous high-society getaway, hosting politicians, socialites, and international performers. But beneath the glitz, strange events whispered through the hallways—events th...
