Crystals to Support an Empty Nest

There is nothing quite like it. After 21 years of the bustle of a busy household—from nursing, to sleep schedules, toddling, to school lunches, endless night of homework help, drivers ed, proms and graduations and allllllll the things in between—to suddenly have nothing but silence is unnerving, unmooring, uncomfortable, and unbelievable.

I dropped off the last of my two kids at college in late August. And while every fiber of my being is proud of my kids, happy for their new lives, and excited for all that lay ahead for them, I feel scared. I have identified as their mom for so long. I have built my life around supporting them. I have given up, again and again, what was best for me in favor of what was best for them.

Not only am I scared, I’m very nervous. I'm especially nervous about the time between finishing dinner and going to sleep. What will I do with myself? Where will my thoughts go? Can I reinvent myself again even though I am so much older than the last time I had to do that? What is waiting for me on the other side of this, and will it be far inferior to what has already been?

If you are anything like me, you want all the tools to help move through this very different stage of life. I like to lean into my practices of hiking, yoga, and meditation. I will inevitably draw animal medicine cards. I will make way more plans with people. I’ll pray, AND I will gather my crystal allies around me.

Whether you are a die hard crystal energy believer or someone who just likes to have little reminders of your intentions, crystals can provide the perfect cushion for a frazzled self. Leaning into these energies can bring a calm, a clarity and resolve and reserve you never knew you had.
