Work,
home life, financial, relationship and health stress can take a toll
emotionally, physically, psychologically and spiritually. People
often eliminate the symptoms and not the point of stress. Perhaps we
feel we cannot do anything about what is causing the stress in the
first place. Maybe we feel trapped in our jobs, we can’t get more
money without getting another job and we don’t have time for that
job, perhaps we have just had a new child or we are helping out a
sick spouse or relative. We do have choices … but depending on the
circumstance, we may not want to make a wrong or bad decision because
someone other than ourselves may be hurt or affected. These life
issues can cause a major amount of stress which may lead to disease.
After
a traumatic episode, we may need psychological healing in addition to
a possible physical as well as spiritual curative. Take the case of
an automobile accident in which we were the injured driver and a
passenger in our car dies. Even if the accident were not our fault,
we still have guilt and anguish over the death of the passenger. This
is when we need to heal the whole person - emotionally,
physically, psychologically and spiritually.
In
the past I would suggest one stone that would help the symptom but
not address the actual issue. It would be like putting a bandage on
the situation when it may need stitches to heal properly. A
combination of stones should be used to address the different facets
of the dis-ease or trauma. I have intuitively combined easily
available gemstones for the most common stress factors we face. I
would recommend having a salt lamp (or two or three) placed in your
bedroom, office or any living area where you wish to encourage peace
and harmony as well as good health and clean air since it emits
negative ions.

These
are just some examples that can work for anyone. Just like we have
different energy fields, blood types, personalities and chemical
make-ups, we still have a lot in common and, like reading a general
horoscope, that will be true for a lot of people, it will be way off
the mark for others. It is always best to see what stones you are
attracted to and what would work best for your uniqueness. Substitute
any stone that doesn’t feel right. I know that some people will be
disappointed that I didn’t include descriptions of these stone
combinations but I believe that part of the therapy is to work with
these stones or see what you are drawn to and then read why you are
drawn to them.
