Introduction to Crystals

 

Many of you out there may have heard of crystals and maybe even brought one for no reason at all! Ever wonder why you had even brought it? did you ever consider that it was the crystal that chose you and not the other way round? I know that it sounds crazy and believe me when I say "I know what you are thinking" because that is exactly how I felt when someone said the same to me. we have all been through hardships and have seen things that we wish that we didn't. The same goes to me and sadly I have come to terms with my diagnosis of depression. I was diagnosed at the age of 17 and it hurt like a bitch... I didn't want to end up like my dad. They wanted to put me on anti-depressants but I grew up watching how much that it changed my dad and I didn't want to end up the same way. I went down a very rocky path until I decided that I needed to do something to at least help the way that I was feeling every day. One day I walked into a cute shop in Portsmouth, the store was pretty small but the smell of insense was welcoming, around me I saw glass cabinets of "pretty rocks" there were some smaller tumblestones in their individual trays on the table and at the time I didn't fully understand as to why my eyes kept drifting to the small orange stone. I was in the store with my sister, she was just curious and she was the one who pushed me to go in there with her. I walked over to the crystal and picked it up. No words can truly express the instant feeling that I felt. It was warm, and it made tears fill up my eyes. Not sad tears, but tears of relief and happiness. The woman behind the counter came to my aid and told me that the crystal had chosen me, she told me that it was called Sunstone and it used to help with depression, it is a happy stone and burns away the negativity. "how can a rock make me happy?" she then started to explain to me about vibrations in the earth and how everything is connected; everything has it's purpose. My life changed shortly after that. I have always been a spiritual person but I ignored my previous signs. I done alot of research with reading Judy Hall and buying crystals that my gut went with. My depression is still here with me, but my outlook on life has changed. I like to think about the good in life and live each day as it comes because if you are too stuck in the past and think to far ahead in the future then you are certainly not living in the "now" and it's the present that we should be focusing on. I would like to thank crystal healing for this. I'm new to blogging but through my site I just want to share  experiences with crystals and how they can benefit us in our everyday lives. How can amethyst cure a headache? How can smokey quartz keep you grounded?  it's things like this that I will be going through in future posts as well as my love for them
