Happy New Year!
If you’re anything like me, every year its ‘new year new me’ but a couple of weeks in & nothing has gone to plan and that’s its – year ruined! I’ve treated 2024 not as a failure but as my discovery year, learning everything I can about myself so that this year is my transformational year. There are many different aspects for change, but a big part of mine is having crystals as an aid throughout this journey. So, let’s get 2025 off to the best possible start by running through the MUST HAVE crystals, to help you transform into the best version of you this year.

This crystal is quite literally known as the transformation stone, and for good reason! Labradorite encourages self-discovery & assist in personal growth and change, also allowing you to let go of things that no longer serve you. This crystal also helps to enhance your intuition, allowing you to see situations and problems from a higher perspective, not allowing them to hold you back on your journey.

The crystal of new beginnings is pretty
much perfect for starting the year off strong. Moonstone is of course associated with the moon & its lunar phases, which symbolise time for change & letting go of the past which is where the new beginnings come from. This crystal is really calming which is helpful when you’re starting a new chapter, allowing you to embrace this change with no stress or upset. Moonstone is also linked with divine feminine energy, making it the perfect ally for nurturing self-discovery and your relationship with yourself.
Now this is a STAPLE for any crystal collection, amethyst has an array of healing

properties but spiritual awakening is the big one. This crystal allows spiritual growth, allowing you to connect to your higher self and start to see outside of the constricts of everyday life. By calming the mind, amethyst brings inner peace which in turn allows for clarity & a better connection to your true self. Amethyst also helps to release attachments to old behaviour patterns or thought processes that may have been holding you back from developing into the best version of you.
Most people recognise this crystal as a protective crystal but did you know its also

great for self-awareness & reflection? Obsidian helps to uncover hidden truths about yourself, allowing you to look inside & find those supressed emotions that are holding you back from your next chapter. The great part about Obsidian is, once you’ve found the negative emotions that are stopping you, this crystal supports the release of them, alleviating anger, fear & resentment helping you to achieve emotional balance and inner strength.
The self-love crystal is one that I cannot recommend enough! Another staple in any

collection but is there any wonder why when it literally oozes loving energy?! Rose Quartz allows you to truly love yourself, there is no point trying to turn the page if you don’t truly believe that you can do it, which is why Rose Quartz is so important. This crystal assist in letting go of any past hurt or emotional trauma, enabling you to see the beautiful parts of you & most importantly reconnecting with your inner self, allowing you to prioritise self-care and self-love.
Plus, with the Full Moon due on the 13th January, this would be the perfect time to sit & think about all the things you want to let go, allowing you to open the door & move forward onto the next stage of your journey.
