Clearing Negative Feelings with Crystals

A common trend I see in the healing community is a desire to “clear” or “get rid of” negative feelings with crystal energy. While I understand this desire, I also see it as a form of spiritual bypassing — we're using crystals to avoid facing our unresolved emotional wounds or issues instead of healing them.

Anger, hate, jealousy, guilt, resentment, fear, etc., are all uncomfortable feelings, yes, but that does not make them wrong. Rather they are usually signals that something is wrong.

For example:

• Resentment is a sign of imbalanced giving and receiving.

• Envy is signaling an unmet need.

• Anger is loud hurt.

• Frustration is blocked or stifled energy.

When a “negative” feeling surfaces it has a message, and it is an opportunity for us to first hear it, accept the truth of it, and then choose an aligned healing response.

It’s not about making it wrong, or you wrong, or your intuition wrong – it’s about being willing to listen more deeply. It’s about being willing to trust the greater, guiding intelligence in all things.

This is a practice to be sure, but without it, how can we truly heal or change?

Nothing thrives in resistance and suppression (please read that again).

As we approach the powerful shift happening at the end of this month, many of us are being presented with opportunity to face things and listen. Why?

Because we’re being asked to prepare: We need to look into the grey areas of ourselves, our lives, and our choices, and get very honest about what’s essentially not working or out of alignment.

Furthermore, we are then being asked to do something about it.

This is where our negative feelings become our allies: What’s feeling “negative” to you?

Where are things feeling heavy, dark, blocked, strained, or stagnant in your life? What evokes angry, guilty, unhappy, sad, or frustrated feelings when you tune into it?

 While your first reaction might be to avoid it, my suggestion is to deepen into it with curiousity. Ask for its message – why is there? Ask what it needs to heal or change?

Be prepared to hear what you don’t want to hear.

Courage my love. This is how things get better!

It’s been my experience that hearing it is the hardest part: Once we’ve accepted the truth, reality has a way of changing on its own.

Remember, too, that your life may not be a reflection of what you dreamed, but it IS what a reflection of what you’ve been willing to tolerate (you may want to read that one again, too).

Here are some crystals that can help you:

To Hear Your Truth

Amazonite

Black Obsidian

Sodalite

For Acceptance

Mangano Calcite

Rose Quartz

Rhodonite

Taking Aligned Action

Ruby

Hematite

Sunstone

Sit with one crystal at a time, first to hear your truth, then to help you accept it, and then for guidance or motivation to take aligned action.

If you feel you need help in connecting with your crystals in this way, or receiving their messages, my mini-course “Crystal Mystika” teaches you how to channel guidance and insight from your crystals.

I am also available for private sessions if you feel you need extra support.

And on a final note: Please don’t be worried about being aligned with the light path at the end of this month. As long as that’s your desire, that will be your outcome. Healing makes way for joy.
