The Best Crystals for Hot Girl Summer 2022

Here in the Southern Hemisphere, Summer is right around the corner, how exciting! Summer is the most exciting season of the year, it's the time for adventures, getting outside during the longest and sunniest days of the year, hanging out with mates, spending the whole day at the beach and having a few cold ones around a fire.

Most plants are in full bloom now, trees are covered in leaves, flowers are everywhere, bees are buzzing and crickets are humming. Sounds like heaven, right?

During Summer, we're naturally drawn to things that cool us down, like fans, air conditioning, cold drinks and swimming in the ocean. But sometimes, we also love to embrace the fun and social energy with things that burn hot, like hikes or tanning, or sitting around the fire.

This means some days you might reach for the gentle cooling energy with your crystals, and sometimes you might want to embrace the summer heat with crystals that burn brighter!

In Ayurveda, we look to balance the hot and cold energies. Summer is fiery and masculine in nature, so often historical teachings encourage us to look at balancing that energy with the cool feminine.

This summer, we're going to focus on the stones that balance those yin and yang, feminine and masculine energies. This balance can help us feel more connected with ourselves since it's incredibly easy to get carried away and overwhelmed in high energy situations that frequently present themselves in summer.
