Holistic Healing for Addiction

Crystal Healing Pt. 5: Psychological Wellness

            If you entreat crystal healing into your everyday life, to help prevent the travesty of addiction to continue haunting your life, jeopardizing your happiness, health, and the ability to achieve your full potential, using crystal healing to address your psychological concerns and everyday struggles will help you stay on the road to recovery- allowing growth spiritually, emotionally, and psychologically. In traditional means of rehabilitation, clinical workers focus on what the causes of addiction are, and root them out through means of therapy. Healing stones for depression, anxiety, anger, stress, clarity of mind, and communication combat the resulting turmoil.

Crystals cannot cure depression, but they allow us to assume the correct state of being to actively confront depression from its source; they help us to be open when we would otherwise continue to shun ourselves into submissive silence. Healing crystals can help us feel comfortable enough to confront our inner demons and ready ourselves emotionally to address the underlying causes of our downward spiral.

Amazonite:

Uses: Writing, happiness, lightness if mind

Helps us to remember we are the masters of our own fate, and allows us to take up the role again; this bubbly stone prompts feelings of joviality, encouraging excitability to explore passions and hobbies forgotten when worked with. (It is also a great writing aid!)

Citrine:

Uses: Joviality, energy, sparks new ideas

Guards against outward conflicts affecting us inwardly. Protects us from the energies around us, and reminds us to take responsibility for the energy we project into our environment. Citrine acts as a source of vitality, and can help mobilize our minds and bodies when we have slumped into the drudgery of staying in bed for far too long.

Dumortierite:

Uses: Discovery, communication, identifying underlying problems

An excellent stone to keep at hand for therapeutic purposes, dumortierite allows us to openly communicate our feelings of depression, and hone in on the source of our anguish. If you struggle to open up to those close to you- or your therapists, who you actively seek to resolve inner feelings of conflict- this healing crystal can help open your mind and heart to see the truth of internal conflict. Selecting a blue specimen will aid in communication further, as this resonates with our throat chakra, which may be blocked, and causing further imbalance in our willingness, or ability, to communicate.

There are times I have personally wanted to speak about my feelings openly, but for whatever reason, was unable to muster up the ability to do so. If you find yourself in this situation regularly, as I often did, placing this crystal pendant to rest on your throat (the location of your fifth chakra) can help immensely.
