Re-connecting with crystal friends
There was a time when I had a lot of crystals. I can’t remember how I got them all, but I had a small collection. None of them were ever bought, all were gifted, which is how I thought it was best to obtain them. At one point, specific crystals were like my babies! I had been gifted a rose quartz and amethyst together by a patron at work, and since that day, I held those babies everywhere I went. I went to a Papadosio concert and they were in my hands the whole time. I took pictures of them, gave them baths, oh my god, I’m really not making this up.
Fast forward to a couple months later. I wasn’t spending as much time with them, or giving them as much attention as I used to. I would carry them in my pocket mostly out of habit, but they would fall out often. One day, one fell, and I never found it. I was actually pretty devastated, I shed a few tears, and I was mad at myself for being so careless and neglecting them. I knew that when crystals leave, it was simply because their work was done with you. But I took it so personally! I kind of gave up at that point, and stopped caring about the rose quartz I still had, and it disappeared as well.
I found more crystals when I was doing a work exchange in a temple so naturally, I kept them. But my attitude hadn’t actually changed. I was still neglectful of them, and unsurprisingly, after a few months, they disappeared as well. One of them was a pretty big cluster, the size of my whole hand. How does a rock that big get lost? Because when it doesn’t get the love it deserves, it leaves. Just like humans.
Up until recently, I felt very disconnected from our crystal friends, feeling like I didn’t deserve them after mistreating them. I was still fond of them, but only at a distance. I went to a psychic fair with a friend where I met Clara, a crystal healer. Long story short, having a session with her sparked my reunion with crystal beings. I feel so inspired again to re-connect with these spiritual helpers, and very much like a child when I go to a crystal shop. This time around however, I’m much more aware of the power that crystals hold in healing and balancing, and much more interested in learning how to work with them.
Crystals are so beautiful, yes, and you could spend time only buying ones that are lovely decorations. But the power they hold from being so energetically pure is fascinating to me. I’ve come to a point in my spiritual journey where I can appreciate the support they give so many people and am seeking to be supported by them as well. As I type this next to Citrine and Carnelian while holding a Moonstone, I send out my prayers that information about these lovely earth energies will flow into my mind easily!
