16 Uncomfortable Feelings That Actually Indicate You’re On The Right Path

1. Feeling as though you are reliving your childhood struggles.You find that you’re seeing issues you struggled with as a kid reappear in your adult life, and while on the surface this may seem like a matter of not having overcome them, it really means you are becoming conscious of why you think and feel, so you can change it.

2. Feeling “lost,” or directionless. Feeling lost is actually a sign you’re becoming more present in your life – you’re living less within the narratives and ideas that you premeditated, and more in the moment at hand. Until you’re used to this, it will feel as though you’re off track (you aren’t). 3. “Left brain” fogginess. When you’re utilizing the right hemisphere more often (you’re becoming more intuitive, you’re dealing with emotions, you’re creating) sometimes it can seem as though “left brain” functions leave you feeling fuzzy. Things like focusing, organizing, remembering small details suddenly become difficult.

4. Having random influxes of irrational anger or sadness that intensify until you can’t ignore them anymore. When emotions erupt it’s usually because they’re “coming up” to be recognized, and our job is to learn to stop grappling with them or resisting them, and to simply become fully conscious of them (after that, we control them, not the opposite way around). 5. Experiencing unpredictable and scattered sleeping patterns.You’ll need to sleep a lot more or a lot less, you’ll wake up in the middle of the night because you can’t stop thinking about something, you find yourself full of energy or completely exhausted, and with little in-between. 6. A life-changing event is taking place, or just has. You suddenly having to move, getting divorced, losing a job, having a car break down, etc.

7. Having an intense need to be alone. You’re suddenly disenchanted with the idea of spending every weekend out socializing, and other people’s problems are draining you more than they are intriguing you. This means you’re re-calibrating.

8. Intense, vivid dreaming that you almost always remember in detail. If dreams are how your subconscious mind communicates with you (or projects an image of your experience) then yours is definitely trying to say something. You’re having dreams at an intensity that you’ve never experienced before.

9. Downsizing your friend group; feeling more and more uncomfortable around negative people. The thing about negative people is that they rarely realize they are negative, and because you feel uncomfortable saying anything (and you’re even more uncomfortable keeping that in your life) you’re ghosting a bit on old friends.

10. Feeling like the dreams you had for your life are collapsing.What you do not realize at this moment is that it is making way for a reality better than you could have thought of, one that’s more aligned with who you are, not who you thought you would be.

11. Feeling as though your worst enemy are your thoughts.You’re beginning to realize that your thoughts do create your experience, and it’s often not until we’re pushed to our wit’s end that we even try to take control of them – and that’s when we realize that we were in control all along.

12. Feeling unsure of who you really are. Your past illusions about who you ‘should’ be are dissolving. You feel unsure because it is uncertain! You’re in the process of evolving, and we don’t become uncertain when we change for the worse (we become angry and closed off). In other words: if what you’re experiencing is insecurity or uncertainty, it’s usually going to lead to something better.

13. Recognizing how far you still have to go. When you realize this, it’s because you can also see where you’re headed, it means you finally know where and who you want to be.

14. “Knowing” things you don’t want to know. Such as what someone is really feeling, or that a relationship isn’t going to last, or that you won’t be at your job much longer. A lot of “irrational” anxiety comes from subconsciously sensing something, yet not taking it seriously because it isn’t logical.

15. Having a radically intense desire to speak up for yourself.Becoming angry with how much you’ve let yourself be walked on, or how much you’ve let other people’s voices get into your head is a sign that you’re finally ready to stop listening, and love yourself by respecting yourself first.

16. Realizing you are the only person responsible for your life, and your happiness. This kind of emotional autonomy is terrifying, because it means that if you mess up, it’s all on you. At the same time, realizing it is the only way to be truly free. The risk is worth the reward on this one, always source

Crash course on fake stones/misrepresentations

Because I have been too lazy to type this all up.

Quartz:

If your quartz has teeny air bubbles it’s glass.

If it’s got a fruit name it’s dyed. End of story. (strawberry, cherry, lemon, pineapple, blueberry) yes there may be some very rare exceptions-fire quartz being dubbed strawberry- but due to the rise in fakes with that name it’s generally called fire quartz now.

Aura quartz is a regular quartz that’s been bonded with another material. (man made)

Cinnabar Infused Quartz usually reconstituted and mixed together to make a red crystal.

Green quartz can be grown in a lab and anything that forrest green color is

Turquoise:

Magnesite and howlite look very very similar to turquoise when they’ve been dyed, magnesite will have very deep cracks in it though.

No there is no white turquoise. 

You can do a uv test to see if it’s real

Amber

Often faked with Copal. They look nearly identical.

Amber will float in salt water-copal will not.

Irradiated/dyed stones:

Very vibrant colors!!

Irradiated: (they irradiate the crystals to get a deeper or more vibrant color)

deeply pigmented topaz or kunzite

dark (almost black) smokey quartz 

very deep pink or red tourmaline 

colored diamonds 

some cultured pearls 

vibrant yellow heliodor 

Dyed:

Pearls

Agate

coral

other stones may be dyed as well, generally if it looks fake..it is.

Heat treated stones: (really not a bad thing but if you’re going for natural)

Amethyst-lighten color+remove brown

Citrine-heat treated amethyst.

Aquamarine-remove green

Ruby-clearer stone 

Sapphire-clearer stone

Rainbow Cal-Silica

Nope, completely fake 100%

Literally just car paint layered with calcite and resin.

Citrine: (im so sorry)

Much of the citrine on the market is lab made.

If it’s lab made it’s usually amethyst that’s been heated until it changes color

The bottom of these stones will be white with more color at the tips.

srry

Lapis Lazuli:

High quality is vibrant blue, hard to come by, and very expensive.

Low quality howlite, jasper or sodalite is dyed blue, and passed off as lapis.

Acetone will remove the dye but damage the stone.

Obsidian:

The clear green obsidian you see all over ebay is slag glass.

Natural green obsidian has been found but it is opaque and is more gray than green.

there is red obsidian as well but again, it’s not a vibrant red and is more brick colored.

Wikipedia is not always right.

Goldstone:

it’s glass it’s legitimately just glass

Opalite:

also glass. 

real opalite exists but it’s green and not commonly found

once again, don’t believe everything on wikipedia.

Bismuth:

Doesn’t naturally form in the crystals, lab made!!!

rlly pretty though

Hematite:

Not naturally magnetic!

Magnetic hematite is 100% man made!

I’ll add more as I come across them~

[fw98]

Jade:

Real jade is p. heavy! A way to tell if it is real is that it’ll be heavier than it looks.

Jade is faked with the following:

Serpentine “New Jade” or “Olive Jade”

Prehnite

Aventurine quartz

Grossular garnet “Transvaal jade”

Chrysoprase “Australian jade”

Malaysia Jade- dyed quartz that may be called by its color – Red Jade, Yellow Jade, Blue Jade

Opaque dolomite marble “Mountain Jade” (usually dyed)

Dragon vein agate: 

Quench cracked, bleached, and dyed agate and some is quench cracked, and dyed glass.

Snowflake obsidian:

Being faked with a very low grade cheap dalmatian jasper.!

Snowflake will be gray while Dalmatian should have a lighter color

Hollow galena:

A lot of pieces have been proven to have been faked through sand blasting + similar techniques (but there may be real ones I’m not 100%)

Charoite:

Chinese Charoite doesn’t exist.

If it’s called that then it’s not real, real charoite isn’t banded and is more swirly.

Moldavite:

Very very commonly faked!!

Biggest giveaway is the ‘wet’ look a faked piece has due to the molding process

White moldavite doesn’t exist!!

Sunspar:

It’s really just yellow Labradorite, which isn’t a v rare gem

[quillioc-deactivated20191112]

ALSO!

Andara Crystal

no such thing

massive scam

literally chunks of slag glass, worth like, .1% of what they are sold for

[approximate-ritual]

Note that the manmade nature of any of these stones doesn’t negate the fact that they’re pretty and/or really cool to work with. Personally, goldstone is one of my favorite stones to work with. The copper crystals within the glass connect it to Venus, for me, while the colors (blue and red) are representative of Urania and Prometheus respectively–the latter even more fitting because of the fire that goes into making it.

Similar feelings about Bismuth and opalite. The rainbow crystal formations of a lab-formed piece of bismuth remind you of Iris? Go for it! Just…don’t let someone tell you it’s natural and get away with it.

[ghostpulse]

I just wanted to note that irradiated smoky quartz can occur naturally as well. The darker the quartz, the closer it is to the source of radiation. 

Quartz actually can have air bubbles/fluid inclusions, its not necessarily glass if it has that. Personally i like to tell if something is a real quartz crystal if it has horizontal striations on the faces. If the faces dont have striations, the stone is either 1) fake/glass 2) artificially carved or 3) grew in an unusually stable environment

also real citrine is closer to green than yellow

[floral-laurel-posts]

See, I don’t mind “"lab”“ grown citrine. Let’s look at how its made. Some miners take amethyst and stick it in an oven or kiln and then heat it up. This changes its color to that golden orange color. Now let’s look at how natural citrine is made. The earth has some amethyst in it and it heats it up. Then it changes color to that golden orange color. To me, they are the same thing. Plus lab grown crystals are still crystals they just prolly werent covered in dirt at one point yknow?

[fw98]

They are not the same thing. The earth making it changes it to an even light yellow color, not concentrated dark gold at the points and also makes it quite a bit more valuable. The difference is one is man made in mass quantities, the other is not. If you’re going for natural and someone tries to tell you that a man made one is natural then this guide is designed to help you know the difference. Remember I’m not at all saying one is better than the other again this guide is only designed to help you tell the difference and not get scammed.
