Amethyst is very representative of crown energy, helping one obtain a spiritual frame of mind, connect to the universe and feel more at ease in it. It aids feelings of tranquillity and serenity, and as thus is an excellent sleep aid. Said to be of use with headaches, rubbing an amethyst on the temple helps to ease pain. Amethyst is kind of a "spiritual beginner's" crystal, a good starter to work towards other crystals and spiritual experiences. Amethyst is a gentle start to your journey.
