Saw foot doctor today. Said I'm healing well. Got to keep using this stretch apparatus and the walking boot for at least three more weeks. Then we'll see if I can move to regular shoes with just the air sock. He approved of my sneakers. The nurse dug my socks. It's the little things. #gettingoldaintforsissies #focusonhealing #owie

The magic of crystals

Crystals are so amazing! I love them! Sometimes i hesitate as to whether or not to walk into a New Age shop and buy one as one will more then likely end up being 6 or 10! haha! Nevertheless, from such a young age I have been drawn to these amazing crystals which have been given to us from mother earth! I feel that they can help us big time in areas of our life where they are needed the most! Its just amazing when we are drawn to a particular crystal, look up the meaning of it and realise that its associated with an area of our life or chakra which we may be struggling in or need help with moving forward.

Not too long ago I was struggling with certain things in my life that were all connected to my heart chakra. Everything that had happened to me in the last few years that had hurt me or I had felt annoyed or betrayed about, started to resurface all at once. It didnt matter who it was or what it was about I was feeling so resentful! Every single day I was feeling angry, annoyed, sad.. all the emotions that I didnt want to feel put it that way. I was quite shocked when this had started happening as I thought I had put all of those issues behind me. One day i got sooooo annoyed and frustrated that I stormed out of the house and went for a walk. On the way back home, I had calmed down alot and decided to stop and meditate in a nearby park for about 10 minutes. After meditating for only a few moments two words came to my mind... Moldavite and Aquamarine!! "wow ok" I thought to myself. As soon as I got home I went to my bookshelf and pulled out my crystal dictionary that has all the meanings of many crystals. Well I guess I wasnt really surprised, it was moreso excited and happy that I had confirmation as to what was going on inside me. BOTH crystals were associated with the heart chakra. Aquamarine helps with remaining calm, having courage, and helps you let go of oldemotional issues that we may be holding on to. COOL!!!! Moldavite is a extra-terrestrial stone that hit the earth thousands and thousands of years ago. Its known to be the Holy Grail stone. This stone is mainly associated with raising ones vibration and moving onto the next phase of life! Great for psychic protection and connecting with the spirit world (as I am extremely sensitive I connected well with this) helps with healing and resonates with the vibration of love!! PERFECT!!! The next day I went and bought these two stones! Moldavite wasnt exactly cheap and I was hesitant to buy it, but I did as I believe the Universe would not have given me such a clear sign to get it if it wasnt going to help me move forward in some way. I dont take it off from around my neck and its been just over a month and the aquamarine sits with me everyday also. They have helped me tremendously in healing issues and moving forward!!! It didnt happen overnight but I definitely noticed a tiny difference in my emotions and moods after a few days! I also ensured to cleanse my crystals under the full moon to remove old or stagnant energy and recharge them!!

Sometimes I think we just know we are angry or annoyed or hurt but dont really sit down and get to the core of the issue and ask ourselves, "why is this still bothering me" "what is the real reason as to why I am upset" "why is this issue still affecting me." What I have recently learnt and realised is that validating exactly how we feel about things is the beginning of healing. Sometimes we supress so many emotions from our past thinking, we should be over it by now, that we are over exaggerating or that it doesnt matter. It does matter. It all matters. If an issue isnt dealt with it will resurface later into the future. Its just the way it is. I dont believe a time frame should be put on how long we should feel hurt for or angry for either. We are all different and we are all entitiled to feel how we want to feel. What we should be asking ourselves however is, "what am I gaining from holding onto these negTive emotions?" "Why am I still allowing myself to suffer?" Acknowleging how we feel and then taking baby steps to healing our emotions, I believe, is the best thing we can do for ourselves. Forgiveness is hard, but its worth it. Focusing on the light and love we have for people after being hurt is hard..but its worth it. Its how we learn to love deeper and unconditionally. ThAT,I believe, is one of the keys to true happiness in this lifetime. I'm in no way going to sit here and preach that its easy...its fucking hard..BUT..its worth it!!

I have used many many many crystals in the past when going through emotional turmoil or feel I need guidance in certain areas of my life. They really are so magical and sometimes just holding them gives me goosebumps and makes me feel good. One of my favourites at the moment is tigers eye which helps me when I need strength, larimar when my emotions seem all over the place and carnelian to give me confidence with my creative ideas and endeavours.

There are so many to choose from and many that are associated with certain areas of life!! Everyone should embrace the power of crystals because they are a real healing to our life!!!! <3 <3
