Hi
I was introduced to crystal healing through my Yoga teacher. I would like to have a recommendation for my issue. I have been having panic attacks for 3 months now. I am not sure but I was really emotionally affected by my mother's death in April '09. Then started the issue with the husband and in-laws. I was very close with my mother and could not share my feelings to anyone else. On the top off all of these, my husband now is asking for a divorce and I am very upset. The panic attacks are very intense (not the fear ones). I don't get scared of anything but all of he sudden my chest starts hurting badly and I feel like I am choked. It happens out of no where and suddenly. My yoga teacher scanned my body with a crystal and said that almost all my chakras are blocked, specially the heart chakra. I also practice Reiki but now I don't feel the energy flow anymore. Can you please recommend any crystal that can help me?
Thanks,
H Patel
Greetings,
My condolences on the loss of your mother. Grief is a process that affects each person differently. Holding it in, not being able to share with someone - anyone - can very well be affecting your health and bringing on these panic attacks.
My first suggestion would be to seek out someone (a grief counselor, therapist, etc) that you can openly share your feelings and go through this process with. In essence, you have closed or shut down your heart to ease the hurt, which could be one reason that your heart chakra is blocked at this time. Of course, what I am saying to you is my opinion only :) I am not a doctor or professional, however, I do highly recommend that you seek out so assistance or things may continue as they are now.
I feel that something, some stressor, happened a little before or around the time you began having the panic attacks. This is also something I encourage you to explore with a counselor of some type. I encourage you to seek out support from friends and family. It is important to realize that you are not in this all alone.
In the meantime, let's look at some crystals that can assist you.
Calcite, Blue soothes frayed nerves and lessens anxieties. It is a very calming stone to have with you.
Chrysoprase helps to facilitate deep relaxation.
Lapis Lazuli is another stone that is both calming of mind and body.
Manganocalcite can be used to assist and ease any type of emotional trauma. Anxiety would fall under this category. I always feel as if I am embraced in safety and love when I use Pink Calcite. This is a very gentle, loving and supportive stone. I highly recommend everyone have at least one Pink (mangano) Calcite in their collection.
Tourmaline, Black is used for protecting one's energy field against negative vibrations, and also for drawing negative energies away from a person. It can have a calming effect when needed, grounding flighty or scattered energies into the earth.
Lastly, I would like to recommend a combination of Rose Quartz and Green Aventurine. These crystals help us to heal from all types of emotional difficulties, allowing the heart to heal with understanding, compassion and forgiveness.
There are also a number of crystals that can assist in the grief process as well. Take a look at each of these stones/crystals. Choose those which you are drawn to deeply.
Amazonite
Amethyst
Apache Tear
Chalcedony, Blue/Purple
Emerald
Lapis Lazuli
Mookaite Jasper
Obsidian
Peridot

With love and crystal blessings,
