My path to crystals.
I feel as if I have been writing this forever.
Outside, has always been my space, just being in nature. It was safe, it was fun and it made sense. Everything flowed.
I feel my most content and grounded when my hands are in the soil. Somehow connected to earth. Receiving and giving. Simplicity.
And I guess this is something that these sacred stones bring forward for me. That connection to the earth. It’s magic and many layers. The energy, the frequency, the simplicity, the remembering.
I had a few special stones as a child- although I think I put them in My fish tank to live with my fish!
When my mum died, the safe and simple world as I knew it imploded. It no longer made sense and I tried so hard to control it. OCD, eating issues, suppressed grief. I really struggled as a teen.
I turned more to the wisdom of the stones hoping they could help me. But I had little access to them.
After a serious breakdown, anti depressants and an attempted su***de at uni, I was taken on an alternative path to help me. Hypnotherapy, flower essences, spiritual guidance, crystals, space, rest and nurture.
They were part of my holding. Just there. Gently guiding my recovery.
Strangely after having kids many years later, I ended up working in a crystal shop, my retail management skills called in- and something in me lit up. I was home.
They were there again. Part of my life. And honestly I’m not sure if there has been a time since that they have not been.
I have worked more closely with my crystal allies as I have grown older, as grief and PTSD reared its head again, and used them endlessly to support my children as they are growing. We have added them to our home to support its energy.
These stone beings haven’t forced change in my life, or pulled me from the bottom, but they have brought a frequency to my space and field that reminded me of who I am and what is possible. They hold the heart and allow her to slowly soften in a world that taught hardness.
Crystals have always been there, asking that I open the invitation to reflect, be supported and remember. To be open to possibility and life.
