Hi guys! The moon is waxing through Capricorn today, so this is a really good day to tend to your responsibilities and get things done. Flint and Onyx have a very disciplined, organized energy that can help you face your responsibilities today.
So lately, my allergies have been really, really bad. I'm about ready to admit that I might just be coming down with a cold. All day, I've been unable to stray too far from my box of Kleenex. So, as you probably could have guessed, I finally decided to confront and fight back against my discomfort using my favorite weapon - crystals.
Allergies are a little bit difficult to fight using crystals because allergies are indicative of a pretty deep-rooted imbalance in your heart chakra, and while carrying a prescribed stone in your pocket during an allergy flare-up may help with your discomfort, it certainly won't tackle the actual problem - which, in holistic healing, is what we want. So, you will want to be aware of the fact that the oversensitivity of your immune system is on some level related to your emotional oversensitivity, caused by an imbalance in your heart chakra center which will require extensive attention in order to be transmuted. Luckily, there are a lot of ways to redress a chakra imbalance: yoga poses, dietary adjustments, crystals, meditation exercises, and daily affirmations and routines. While I will do a more extensive blog post on crystals for the heart chakra in the future, crystals alone are still not sufficient enough to redress the deep-rooted heart chakra imbalances that lead to allergies, so you might want to read Liz Simpson's The Book of Chakra Healing for an extensive list of ways you can adjust your lifestyle to heal your heart chakra.
My second disclaimer is that obviously, it's important to know your allergen and avoid contact at absolutely all costs. This blog post refers more to the stuffy nose that sometimes results from pollen and other allergens in the air that you can't see and can't always avoid. I'm obviously not a doctor and I'm not dispensing medical advise - just sharing with you a holistic way you can approach allergies, in conjunction with whatever medical approach you use.
So first and foremost, I do utilize other forms of holistic healing when dealing with allergies than crystals, because of the deep-rooted nature of its cause. One of my favorite complementary forms of holistic healing to use along with crystals is aromatherapy and essential oils. The minute I realized that my mountain of used tissues sitting on my coffee table was a little ridiculous, I began diffusing Eucalyptus oil in my oil diffuser, one of my favorite oils to assist breathing. I also put the tea on - if I had had time to plan ahead, I would have made a Green Aventurine elixir and subsequently made that into a hot tea, but making a crystal elixir takes a whole day. I do have a Green Aventurine elixir being made right now in the fridge, just in case my symptoms have not subsided by tomorrow.
My next course of action was to grab my Rock Salt Lamp from my bedroom - I sleep with it on every night, as I'm one of those weird people that doesn't like to sleep in total darkness and I also like it's vibes. Halite - that is, salt - is one of the most underrated crystals in my opinion, with a number of physical, mental, emotional, and energetic benefits. Rock Salt lamps are great because they emit negative ions which purify the air and actually improve air quality, helping with a number of physical discomforts, including allergies. So, I placed my rock salt lamp in the living room and turned that baby on to start fighting the invisible allergens floating about my living room.
My final course of action was to deck myself out in my heart chakra jewelry. As I mentioned, allergies are always traced to a severe and deep-rooted dysfunction of the heart chakra, and this is not something that will be transmuted in a day. However, that being said, I still like to pile on the heart chakra jewelry, as prolonged contact with the stones will help in the long run (along with the other components of my heart-chakra-health holistic healing plan.) My go-to stone is Green Aventurine - I just love it's vibes. It's super gentle, one of the very best stones of the heart chakra in the entire crystal kingdom, and tends to be quite effective in transmuting the symptoms of allergies. I'm also wearing my Seraphinite and Rose Quartz rings - no crystal book will tell you that these babies directly heal allergies, but again, they are very effective healers of the heart chakra, and that's what we're interested in here - we want to tackle the whole problem, not just the symptoms. As far as picking out what to wear in your own jewelry selection, green and pink crystals tend to resonate with the heart chakra, like Malachite, Emerald, Kunzite, Morganite, etc. If you don't have any crystal jewelry, throw a few heart chakra stones in a mojo bag and tuck it into your pocket for the same prolonged/direct contact allowed with jewelry. In addition to working with heart chakra crystals, the other ones you might want to work with will vary according to your symptoms - if your allergies effect your lungs rather than your nose, try working with Apophyllite. Brecciated Jasper is recommended if your allergies stem from an animal. Turquoise, Muscovite, and Chlorite can be worn or carried for alleviation and prevention of allergy symptoms, but you'll want to play around and see which one best resonates with you, as we're all different.
But of course, don't stop there - spend each day giving that heart chakra some attention to work toward ridding of allergies altogether.
So, don't forgot to follow me on twitter at @crystalwitch6 for daily little crystal/astrological updates. I'm also really interested in hearing any questions that you guys might have regarding crystals, whether there is a specific crystal you want me to talk about, or you would like crystal recommendations for a specific purpose. I want to write about what you guys want to read about, so please ask me your questions either directly through the blog in the comment section, or through twitter.
Thanks for stopping by. Namaste. ~
