Happiness seems like such an arbitrary subject. What makes one person happy doesn't make another happy. The feeling of happiness cannot be pegged down by one simple definition. George du Marier once said, "Happiness is like time and space we make and measure it ourselves; it is as fancy, as big, as little, as you please; just a thing of contrasts and comparisons." There is no one size fits all for someone's happiness. Therefore, it is important that we find out what makes us happy. This is why crystals are such a good aide for our happiness. They take our energy in and give out the rays and vibrations that can lift your mood and make you generally feel happier, specified to you only. Since it uses our own energy, what we put into it, we can get out what we need from them.

Next on our list is a crystal known for its powers of manifestation, imagination, and personal will. That powerful crystal is Citrine. Carrying the power of the sun, it is warm and comforting, energizing and life giving. It stimulates the chakras like the sunlight of spring, clearing the mind and stirring the soul to action. Its frequency awakens creativity and imagination, and sustains the process of transforming dreams and wishes into tangible form. Citrine opens the higher mind to accept joy in one's life, releasing anger and negative feelings, deep-seated fears and destructive tendencies. It raises self-esteem, and by letting go of the past, allows one to move forward optimistically, enjoying new experiences and explorations.
A third crystal very popular for building happiness is the Golden Healer Lemurian crystal. Lemurian Seed Crystals are said to have originated in a country known as Mu or Lemuria. This civilization, according to the legends, was a peaceful and highly developed spiritual civilization that existed over 12 million years ago in the area of the South Pacific. The area is now beneath the sea. The Lemurians are believed to have foreseen a cataclysmic event, and prepared the Seed Crystals to preserve their knowledge and traditions. During the last days of their civilization, the Lemurians decided to plant seed crystals programmed to transmit a message of oneness. Having seeded the crystals, most of the Lemurians left this planet for other star systems, perhaps as light beings or spirits. Others went into the inner earth where they continue to care for the earth and the seed crystals now surfacing.
Robert Simmons proposes Papagoite which a supportive, calming, and enlightening stone.

Samantha Fey suggests using Sunstone which will filter out negative energy that can cause you harm.
This happy, calming stone will help you to feel uplifted, upbeat and confident.

Sunstone helps people dealing with Seasonal Affective Disorder, depression and despair. Sunstone helps absorb anxiety, fear and anger.
While seeking out our own happiness in this life, it can be hard, confusing, or seem like an uphill battle. However, one must remember that happiness is not one size fits all and it is different for every person. Knowing this, it is especially important to find a crystal that can absorb your energy and give it back to you; helping you find the happiness you deserve and desire. For this purpose we recommend pale gold crystals such as Golden Beryl and Citrine. You may also try crystals that other authors have recommended such as Papagoite, Sardonyx, and Sunstone.
