Chapter 1: Understanding Grief

Have you ever found yourself engulfed in the deep shadows of grief? Each person experiences grief in their own distinct way. As you navigate through this emotional terrain, you'll face choices about how to process and transcend the pain. While numerous online resources can help you recognize addiction patterns, warning signs, and emotional triggers linked to various life challenges, including loss and transitions, it can be challenging to discern if your use of coping tools—such as tarot cards or crystals—might actually be tied to the grief you’re facing. This confusion can lead to inaction, hindering your journey toward healing. If left unaddressed, acute grief may evolve into complicated grief.

Here’s a perspective to consider:

You possess the autonomy to choose your healing methods. Any approach that you believe can bring you peace is valid. However, extensive research across holistic, medical, spiritual, and psychological fields indicates that achieving the outcomes you desire necessitates engaging with your emotions, body, and mind/spirit—together.

The decisions we make influence our brains significantly. Studies on prayer and meditation reveal that these practices can lead to observable changes in brain activity. Areas responsible for self-monitoring, organization, planning, and sensory perception demonstrate reduced activity in brain scans, which can be simplified as “feelings of peace.” Similarly, utilizing crystals as symbols for desired outcomes can evoke a sense of tranquility in the brain, often described as a placebo effect. Even the debated concept of 'twin flames'—the idea that your soulmate is out there waiting for you—can trigger shifts in your emotions and brain chemistry, much like any other coping mechanism. These methods can provide temporary relief, yet many individuals stop here, passively waiting for change without taking further action.

Here are some key areas to investigate if you find yourself stagnating with crystals and twin flame beliefs:

Twin Flames: Consult professionals or resources to understand more about Childhood PTSD and Limerence. Some symptoms of Complex PTSD (CPTSD) include difficulty forming connections, emotional overreactions, challenges in identifying unsafe individuals, memory and attention issues, addiction tendencies, and more. These symptoms may arise from environments marked by trauma such as abuse, neglect, or familial instability. Limerence, characterized by obsessive thoughts about a romantic relationship, can also hinder personal growth and well-being.

Crystals and Talismans: Seek guidance from professionals on meditation and mindfulness practices. Combine these practices with a clear action plan aligned with the spiritual properties of your preferred crystals. For instance, those using jade or citrine can specify their financial aspirations, while black tourmaline or obsidian users can pinpoint feelings of insecurity. Pursuing supportive resources can propel you toward solutions. Evidence suggests meditation and mindfulness can effectively reduce anxiety and enhance clarity of thought.

These recommendations stem from my personal experiences over the past decade, as well as my work with young adults facing change and trauma. Following significant emotional losses, I reevaluated my spiritual beliefs and explored various ideologies with curiosity and open-mindedness. While I would never dismiss the significance of crystals or the importance of love and connection, I emphasize the necessity of focusing on healing and personal growth.

As you traverse your grief journey, remember: don’t stop until you reach the other side.

Good luck on your journey.
