Gems to Quit Smoking
Posted: Wed May 08, 2019 11:23 am
So, about this time last year I decided that it was time to quit smoking. It seemed like the natural course to take after having been a smoker for 10 years and, to be honest, the prices of buying smokes was getting to be not worth the negativity that smoking was bringing to my life ($20 a pack!!). I was smoking 1 pack a day, stinking like smoke, no spare cash cuz it was all going to supporting the habit, feeling lethargic and increasingly unhealthy. Quitting needed to happen but I knew I couldn't do it alone!
I did a lot of research on gems that I could carry around with me during the roughest of the detox stages and here's what I found worked for me:
Kunzite- Great for helping to overcome additions and the negative effects that happen to the body during the detox stages. It is a healing stone which works at balancing emotions and removing any blocks that prevents positive energy to flow through you.
I made my kunzite the focus stone for my pouch that I carried with me. When I was feeling particularly weak and needing a smoke I would single out the kunzite and rub it for a few minutes until the immediate urge left.
Sunstone- For it's natural anti-depressant qualities. It helps bring some light of the sun in dark times, encourages and supports happiness.
It also acted as a reminder for me that this dark period is but a blip in time and a energy booster for this long term project so I didn't burn out from the efforts and revert back. Many can agree that quitting can make you feel agitated, depressed, anxious, and the sunstone was a good one to clutch until the worst of the feelings passed.
Obsidian- This one felt like a natural addition for it's abilities to absorb negative energy.
I felt like the obsidian helped to take the bulk of my negative energy around quitting and left openings for the other stones to inject their positive qualities.
Amethyst- This was a a natural addition for me given it's calming properties. It's ability to release the fog and provide sober through.
All in all, one year and still a non-smoker! I haven't even touched a smoke since the day I vowed to stop. Mind you, the stones were not the only thing that helped me through this. I did perform a little commencement spell to solidify my intentions and direct my energy to the frequency to squash this problem. It took constant reminders and weekly treats to reward myself of another week without smoking. Little things like a new stone to add to my stone family or even a new nail polish color that brought elevated energy. I learnt that in order to be successful at this I couldn't prolong the process by weening off since that prolonged the suffering. I had to be kind to myself the whole time or else it would have been failure. I still do. The stones helped to be a token that reminded me of that daily.
Maybe some of you can relate or found other gems helped? I found with gems that there is no "one" set to help, but more so what stones are you drawn to when trying to tackle the issue at hand. These were the ones that called me and together our energies helped me conquer that challenge.
