My first taste of Crystal Therapy!

Mar 18, 2023

Wow.... this was a new one for me. It is something that I wanted to book for a while but I didnt feel like I could treat myself. It felt like such a treat for me- on a regular basis I get my nails manicured which is a non negotiable for me and it makes me feel good. Crystal therapy was something I had been wanting to experience for a while but I would always prefer to spend my money on the kids or i would say to myself 'you get your nails done- is that not enough?'. Having worked on myself and my mindset- I have started to believe and LIVE OUT that my wants and desires matter and are important. My need for self-love is not selfish- its important. So what I get my nails done- we are entitled to have both- why should we sacrifice one or the other when we are worthy of both. For example God would not give you a home but then NO FOOD! You're worthy of both.

Anyways- I digressed a little and I wanted to share how excited I was to finally get myself booked in- to appreciate the self love that we all need but also that I DO have the TIME, MONEY and FREEDOM to 'treat' myself.

So Crystal therapy, to be honest anything crystals is all new to me since I am willing to be open to new and creative possibilities.

I shall be honest I was expecting a massage alongside- in my head I was having a crystal therapy massage.. I was wrong however I left feeling re-ignited, lighter, relaxed but at the same time motivated.

Crystal Therapy

The belief behind crystal therapy is that individual stones such as amethyst, rose quartz and jade have the ability to communicate with the energy flow of the human body and help to realign the energy channels that are interrupting the natural flow of the body and help it heal itself. Crystals with specific stones are said to help to relieve specific ailments such as anxiety, depression and insomnia, or more physical ailments such as digestive problems.

I mean if its good enough for Victoria Beckham then its good enough for me, right?

It was such a relaxed feeling but there was moments where I felt all tingly- like a feeling of energy leaving my body- I cant explain it. There was a moment where my heart went really tight and in my head I panicked about the 'energy drink' I had consumed that morning and whether it had taken a negative effect on me... I laid still and continued to relax and then soon the hour was up. The therapist gave me some feedback at the end and that my heart needed a little boost of self love and care. She said I am constantly giving to other people and not myself- and she's right and has encouraged me to take care of myself alot more.

My sacral was overperforming and that I am constantly on the go and I need to slow down and relax.

The therapist was very emotional as she was explaining to me about her findings. I mentioned about my heart feeling like it went tight and thats when she explained that her pendulum led her to work on my heart more which would explain the feelings I had.

She also sent me home with a rose quartz as per her pendulum which funnily enough i had debated purchasing one a few The Rose quartz is said to encourage empathy, promote peace, foster unconditional love and increase self esteem. It was suggested I put it next to my bed which I have now done.

If anyone else has experience crystal therapy I would love to know your findings and how its helped you.

I came across this poem and I think its beautiful and a summary of your constant love and giving to others.

TO THE WOMAN WHO HAS TAKEN TOO MUCH…
To the woman who has given too much.
To the woman who has no idea how she will keep going like this, every day.
I  see you.
I see how exhausted you are.
I see your desire to run for the hills without a care in the world.
And I know that if you did so,
the world which you have created,
would collapse, without you.
So, of course, that is not an option.
And I know, just how oppressive the weight of that can be.
How suffocating it is.
How scary that feels sometimes.
And I also know, how grateful you are for this load you carry.
For it’s everything you need and yet all that consumes you.
And that’s ok.
It is okay to feel weary, even when the weight is that of your blessings.
It is still heavy to carry.
There is no space for shame in that load of yours.
No space for guilt, no space for perfection.
Set those down.
Lighten your load of those things.
Next, take out the need to conform to others’ expectations.
And gather up all the past mistakes. And the worries for the future.
They can all go.
Lastly, the spaces you have just made should be filled with rest, for rest is very much doing.
And then add in your joy.
And whatever space is left, leave it there.
Ready for new things, which will show up as soon as they see their space waiting.
It’s high time.
