Spiritual Practices That Nurture Your Emotional State

Many people think of spiritual and divination practices as helping with specific things like 
reducing anxiety, manifesting something into your life, and heling you to choose a path 
moving forward. But they can also help with your emotional state overall, allowing you to 
focus more on your thoughts and feelings, and improving your emotional wellbeing in 
time.


Practice Visualization

If you have ever looked into spiritual practices, particularly when it comes to 
manifestation or the law of attraction, you have probably heard of visualization. But even 
if you don’t believe in that type of manifesting, you can absolutely benefit emotionally by 
using visualization. 

Visualization helps your emotional state by allowing you to visualize yourself being calm 
and relaxed. Any time you feel stressed or you simply want to improve your emotional 
wellbeing, sit quietly in a meditative state, close your eyes, and imagine how you would 
feel if you were more relaxed. 


Pull Tarot Cards

A spiritual practice that is becoming much more popular is to use tarot cards. Believe it 
or not, the simple act of pulling a few tarot cards every day can really help you to be 
more intuitive about your life, and help reduce stress caused by confusion or 
uncertainty.

You don’t have to think about tarot cards as trying to “read your future” or provide 
psychic insight. Tarot can’t predict your future, but rather you want to pull cards and use 
your intuition to help guide you in your life. 

For example, if you have been dealing with emotional stress because of a career 
decision you are struggling with, you can set the intention that you want to pull 3 cards 
to help you with this decision. When you pull the cards, you can consider the meaning 
behind those cards, but really use your intuition to figure out what it is telling you. 


Use Healing Crystals

There are quite a few healing crystals that can be used for your emotional and mental 
health. Crystals can help ground you, make you feel more calm and relaxed, improve 
your quality of sleep, protect you from other people’s toxic energy, and even help with 
your stress and anxiety. 

Here are some of our personal favorites for your emotional wellbeing:

Amethyst – If you have any type of stress or anxiety in your life, amethyst is the crystal 
for you. Keep it with you, wear amethyst jewelry, have amethyst crystals on your desk 
or in your car, you can even put it under your pillow to improve your sleep.

Rose Quartz – Rose quartz is often used by people for self-care and to manifest love 
into their life. But this positive energy stone can also be wonderful for your emotional 
wellbeing, as it helps to activate and soothe your heart chakra, and can help ground you 
and make you feel more relaxed.

Selenite – You might also want to get a selenite crystal. Among its many wonderful 
benefits for your spiritual practices, selenite can cleanse you of negative energy that 
might be keeping you from proper emotional wellness.


Meditate

Meditation is one of the most popular and widely used spiritual practices for emotional 
wellbeing, but you will also notice many other benefits as well when you begin this 
simple practice. While meditation can often be seen as a way to clear the mind, it 
doesn’t have to be complicated or overwhelming. All you are doing when you are 
meditating is relaxing the body and the mind, and momentarily not worrying about what 
is causing you stress or anxiety. 

It can be as simple as just sitting for 5 minutes every day and focusing on your 
breathing. Thoughts may come in and out, and that’s okay. Just come back to center 
and ground yourself while thinking about your breaths. A good way to focus away from 
your thoughts is to notice how it feels when you inhale and exhale, how your body 
moves, and allowing it to relax you a little more every time you breathe in and out.


Practice Gratitude

Lastly, don’t forget to practice gratitude! It is a highly underrated practice that can 
improve your life and your mindset exponentially. Gratitude is also super easy to do, 
and only requires a notebook or journal and a pen. You can also just write down your 
gratitude on any piece of paper. 

Every day, make a habit of writing down what you are grateful for. You can write down 
as many things as you want, but aiming for 5-10 a day is a good number. 

This can be absolutely anything in your life you consider a blessing or are appreciative 
of. This might be something small like your morning cup of tea or something nice that a 
neighbor did for you. Many days, you will have the same things on your list, such as 
home comforts, your pets, your job, or your family. Other days, something new might 
happen that you are really grateful for. 

The point is that you really think about what you are grateful for in your life, why you are 
grateful for it, and you write it down.
