It’s not just about carrying a crystal in your pocket….

My take on crystals

I’ve had a few experiences with crystals over the years that I would like to share with you.

The truth is, I can’t be certain if it was the power of my mind or if the crystal actually did help. But no matter what – the outcome was real.

Whether the crystals helped me tap into my intuition or my intuition was using the crystal as a guide? Again, I can’t be sure.

But the truth is, that I not only love the vibration they bring into my space and into me – they effect other people too. People that come into my home. Some that come over just because they say they feel instantly calm as soon as they walk through the door (and that is why they are essentially visiting). 😊

Crystals come from inside the earth which, to me, means that they also hold the essence and energy of the earth.

How it all started

A few years ago, I went on holiday to Morocco.

For six years before that trip, I don’t recall getting sick – like ever. And my husband was the same.

We put it down to the ‘mega juice’ he made for us every morning. It had, roughly, sixteen types of fruit and vegetables in it and five days a week, we would both down a glass of it.

Our immune systems appeared to be firing on all cylinders.

And then we went to Morocco for a week.

On the trip back, whilst sitting on the plane, I started to cough. It was one of those coughs that felt like it was sitting at the top of the lungs – like it was stuck in between your trachea (windpipe) and your actual lung.

Not painful – just more annoying than anything.

 

Three months later…

I was still coughing.

I’m not a huge fan of going to doctors or taking medication.

I do if it’s absolutely necessary of course, but I prefer to give my body the opportunity to heal itself, if that’s at all possible. Because illness to me is simply an imbalance in the body.

But my husband had become more and more concerned about my coughing fits as it was three months later, and the cough had persisted.

He carries extra concern for me, because a few years before all of this we discovered that I’m a carrier of the cystic fibrosis gene.

Despite the doctors saying that being a carrier is absolutely fine and I won’t show or have any symptoms at all, it doesn’t stop my husband worrying about me and my lungs, as they have, funnily enough, always been a slightly weak point within my body and within the female line of my family.

Anyway!

My husband begs me to go to the doctor just so that he can make sure everything is ok, and so I agree.

The doctor says to me that he can put me on some medications but at the end of the day they aren’t going to help. The cough just needs to run its course.

 

The rose quartz crystal

I’m a regular meditator and this one evening after work was no different.

As I’m heading into my meditation room, I walk through the door, and I suddenly ‘see’ the lump of rose quartz crystal that I own flash through my mind, along with a knowing sense – or maybe it was a message, I’m not 100% sure how to describe it, telling me to use this crystal to “heal the cough”.

I’ll point out here that rose quartz has never really been my ‘go to’ crystal. I’ve always been more of a Lapis Lazuli type of girl – but I followed what I felt I was being shown.

I picked up my chunk of rose quartz, laid down on the floor, and I put the crystal at the point of my chest where I felt the cough was sitting inside of me.

Then, for half an hour, I visualised rolling my cough into a ball and I pushed it out of my chest, whilst at the same time, I saw and allowed the crystal to pull that ‘ball’ out of me and take it into itself.

I simply focused on that and nothing else for that entire time.

 

It got worse!

After I’d finished my meditation-come-healing session, I went downstairs to be with my husband and my cough got really bad.

At some points I think my body actually convulsed because the cough was so intense.

Steven, my husband, was looking scared and asked if he should take me to the hospital. It was clearly a lot worse.

I seemed to intuitively know, however, that the cough was leaving my body and so I casually, through my coughing fit, said to him “It’s ok, this is just my cough coming out”.

About an hour later, we climbed into bed and I was still coughing up a storm. My lungs and throat were rattling by this stage, but I managed to go to sleep.

 

Cough – be gone

When I woke up that next morning, I waited for the coughing to start.

Nothing.

Could that be right?

I tried to force my cough.

(You know when you push all the air out of your lungs really hard, and it, more often than not, pulls on your lungs and makes you cough? Well I did that).

Nothing.

I inhaled as sharply and deeply as I could.

Nothing.

I even stuck my head out the window to breathe in the cold, fresh air from outside but still – nothing.

It was then I had that moment of understanding how not only my mind worked but also how to use crystals for healing.

Three months of having a consistent cough, gone, overnight. Literally.

 

“You could have done that with anything”.

This was said to me when I was telling a group of my work colleagues about what I had done to rid me of my cough. To be fair, it was in a corporate environment. I should have chosen my audience a bit better….

But, everyone was in shock except the person that said, “you could have used anything to do that”.

Were they right? Sure!

But I can’t say, personally, that I have enough faith to put a shoe or a saucepan on my chest to get the same result.

Crystals, to me, have always held a fascination and feel magical, sacred and even powerful in their own way. Shoes and saucepans – not so much.

Crystals in your pocket

I have done this for my entire life. Or at least up until the point where I fixed my cough.

I would buy or pick up a crystal that either spoke to me through it’s colour or through the properties that its advertised as having and

assume that if I simply just carry it around in my pocket or put it in my purse then it will bring me what I’m asking for or fix what it is I feel is broken.

In short, I expected the crystal to do all the work.

It’s not surprising that nothing ever worked or changed!

But when you actually engage the crystal…?

When you tap into the energy or the being that resides within that crystal and ask for it to assist or help you, that is where the magic can happen. And it’s not necessarily the ‘magic’ of the crystal per say, but it’s the asking and believing that this can make changes to yourself and your situation.

I have now used this technique on more than one occasion, and I can’t recall a single time that it has not worked.

Everything from ailments within the body to even attracting some money to come my way.

 

The crystal that smashed

If you’d like more proof of my experiences – although this one was more of a warning:

I was rather smitten with a guy and it was brought to my attention that you could charge a crystal with your intention.

So, I took a clear quartz crystal and charged it with the energy of having this person in my life. I charged it to bring me love.

Within about a week, maybe two, I watched as this crystal fell from around my neck and smashed in half.

As I saw it crack open on the floor (all in slow motion), I got this overwhelming sense that the relationship was doomed to fail and would go nowhere.

Now, did I listen or pay attention?

Of course I didn’t! (I’m still a human full of doubt just like the next person….)

But what do you know? The relationship ended very abruptly, and I was as good as ghosted.

 

Is this simply the placebo effect?

Yes – is the simple answer.

As there seems to be next to no scientific evidence (I checked!) that crystals hold a higher vibrational energy than a normal rock, I cannot 100% say that crystals are in fact “magical”. (If you happen to know of any studies though, please send them to me).

But does that even matter?

I was clearly shown and guided to pick up my chunk of rose quartz and to use that to heal my cough.

And to reiterate again – rose quartz has never even been my crystal of choice. I don’t even buy it. It’s given to me as gifts, so it’s more of a collection of rose quartz that I have acquired over the years.

But the fact is, that for me, it worked, and it continues to work.

When I engage with it, it very much appears and feels to me like it is engaging back.

In my previous blog about healing the earth (Link Here), I talked about the spirit of the plants and all things being alive and having a consciousness. In essences, everything is a living being. Rocks and crystals are simply ‘denser’ energetically, but that does not mean they are void of spirit.

 

“Your belief and your intent are everything”.

 

I went deeper into myself

Throughout all of these experiences, whether they are caused or helped by the crystal, or if it was simply my mind doing all the work, the one thing I can take from it is that it has helped me create a deeper connection and understanding within myself.

It guided me into stillness so I was able to listen.

It gave me the ability to realise that I have a power to heal myself.

An understanding that when I’m in tune with myself, and when I listen and pay attention to what is being shown to me about myself – I have control over many, if not all, facets of myself.

At the end of the day, isn’t being closer to ourselves and connecting to ourselves what so many of us feel we are missing?

For a brief moment in time, I was able to say to myself “I did that! I healed myself”.

Because I don’t believe in coincidences. (And you’ll see that a lot throughout my blogs). I don’t. I ask, I believe and then, as long as I’m awake and aware – I receive.

So, if you have a crystal (or hundreds 😊) but you haven’t really engaged with them yet. Why not give it a go and see what happens?
