How Healing Crystals Help You Deal With Long Term Health Conditions 2
Acceptance of Illness
I learned is that it was important for me to accept my illness, without this acceptance I couldn’t progress forward. I also had to accept the reality that I might never get better. Given the time I’ve suffered I probably wouldn’t get better and to this day, I am not well. And I accept that.
From the state of acceptance I could move forward, the way was now clear.

Shedding the Guilt
Guilt and Blame are two of the most useless emotions when you use them against yourself.
When you shed those you stop apologising to everyone for being ill and not having the same energy as them, for not being able to go out or stay out as long as them. For not being to participate. And for needing help with the most basic of things.

Gratitude and Affirmations
I needed to build up my reserves of positivity thoughts and energy.
So much had been taken away from me that I had taken for granted that I’d always have. But I saw there were positives to my situation. I was always here for the kids. We could have a dog, something that me working made impossible. ME is a long term illness but it is rare for anyone to die from it. I learned to appreciate and be grateful for the gifts I did have. And when I made a list, there were many.
I began practicing gratitude. I said thank you for these gifts and more everyday.
I also shored up my failing self esteem with affirmations. An affirmation is a statement of positivity. The brain is wired to believe what it hears even if you don’t feel it. Talk the talk and you will be able to feel it, honestly. So an affirmation if repeatedly said becomes your truth because your brain believes it.
My first affirmation and I had to search for ages to find even one thing nice to say about myself.
‘I have kind eyes and a nice smile’
Affirmation became and remain part of my daily routine. Now when I think of myself, I feel positive.

Understanding Your Life or Seeing the Bigger Picture
This is easier said than done because life is unfolding all the time. What understanding had I gained from my illness?
Lots, I’m an empathetic person anyway but being poorly and in pain long term gave me so much more understanding for what someone suffering could be going through. My belief started to be, I’ve been given for a reason. I can make a difference.
I’ve always known a conversation can make the difference to an older or lonely person. That conversation makes a difference, it can brighten their day because you are giving the greatest gift, the gift of your time.
I could still make a difference. Possibly a more important difference than my career in the bank.
I could give my time to others, I could learn to heal just by talking to them and listening. I went further, I learned reiki and practiced that.
I believe it’s the gift of time and helped me that make a difference. I regained that important sense of purpose by knowing I could make a positive difference to others.

Love is the Answer
It sounds soppy. Love is the most wonderful thing. When most of us prioritise what is most important in life, it’s those moments of love that are most precious.
Love is the Vibration we should all be tuned into, love for ourselves, our family, friends, environment, our fellow man. The more love that passes between us the more the energy vibration is raised. The more the collective consciousness is raised.
The more I opened myself up to crystals, the more self discovery I did. The more I meditated, the more I saw the true purpose of life.
Love is what matters, between all beings. We can only be responsible for our own actions.
Owning crystals open us up to being receptive loving beings.
Not everyone comes from a loving place, not everyone has the ability to learn that lesson, straight away. But the more of us turning towards love as the answer the more the world and mankind will evolve.
Crystals will help us understand on a more permanent and intuitive level what our purpose on the Earth is. For me that purpose is to live with a loving mindset, help others with an open heart and to raise the vibration on our beautiful planet.
