Election season can stir up a whirlwind of emotions, leaving us feeling unbalanced, anxious, or uncertain. Regardless of the results or your personal feelings about them, finding ways to ground yourself is essential. At ASCEND, we believe in the power of crystals, ritual tools, and energy work to help you stay centered and aligned. Here’s how to use some of our favorite tools for emotional balance and calm during this time.

1. Ground Yourself with Black Tourmaline 🖤🔮

Black Tourmaline is one of the most powerful grounding stones, revered for its ability to shield you from negative energy. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by the news or absorbing the stress of those around you, Black Tourmaline acts as energetic armor.

How to Use:

• 👐 Hold a piece of Black Tourmaline in your palm during deep breathing exercises to ground your energy.
• 🚪 Place it near your workspace or at your front door to protect your environment from outside negativity.
• 🧘‍♂️ Carry it in your pocket when heading into potentially tense conversations or environments.

2. Soothe Emotional Turmoil with Rose Quartz 💖🌹

Rose Quartz, the stone of unconditional love and compassion, can help soothe emotional upheaval. If you’re feeling heavy-hearted, Rose Quartz brings a gentle energy that fosters self-love, healing, and compassion for others.

How to Use:

• 🧘‍♀️ Meditate with Rose Quartz over your heart chakra, visualizing the release of stress and the infusion of healing, pink energy.
• 🌿 Pair it with our Get Lifted essential oil rollerball for a calming aromatherapy experience. Apply the rollerball on your pulse points, inhaling deeply to ground and uplift your spirit.
• 😴 Keep Rose Quartz under your pillow to support restful sleep and emotional healing overnight.

3. Amplify Peace and Intentions with Clear Quartz  🤍✨

Clear Quartz is a master healer and amplifier, making it ideal for setting intentions for peace and collective healing. This crystal will help focus your thoughts and magnify your intentions for a harmonious future.

How to Use:

• 📝 Hold Clear Quartz while journaling your intentions, such as unity, healing, or greater understanding among people.
• 🔯 Create a crystal grid with Clear Quartz at the center, surrounding it with stones that represent your hopes for the future.
• 🕯 Use it alongside a spell jar from our Ground and Protect collection to amplify your protective and grounding intentions.

4. Ground & Protect with Crystal Sets and Spell Jars 🌌🛡️

Sometimes, protecting your energy is as important as grounding it. Our “Ground and Protect” Crystal Set and spell jars are perfect for creating a sacred space around you.

How to Use:

• 🏠 Place our Ground and Protect crystals around your home or in your meditation space to establish an energetic boundary.
• 🗣 Use a spell jar during intention-setting rituals. Hold the jar close and speak your affirmations or protective intentions into it.
• 💼 Carry a small piece of Black Tourmaline or a spell jar with you to shield against external stressors and negative energy.
