Not too long ago my heart broke when I came out of an eight year relationship. I had wanted out for a while, years in fact, but the friendship and love was still there so when my partner eventually found someone else to fall in love with and move on, it was a difficult time for me.
After a couple of months most of the pain had worn off and I started to feel happy again. Actually, I started to feel happier than I had in years. I had found this new sense of freedom, something I hadn’t experienced in a very long time. Looking back, I wonder if this was some sort of post long term relationship honeymoon period.
Today it’s a little bit like a roller coaster. Some days are great and some days are not so good. On these not so good days I sometimes get a physical sensation that feels a lot like a pile of fifty bricks sitting on my chest. It’s an extremely unpleasant and debilitating feeling that’s almost exhausting. I’m a big fan of crystal therapy and often wear crystals or place them around my house to help with a physical or emotional problem. So of course it was a natural progression to search out a crystal to help ease this pain in my heart.
The crystal that helped my heart
With the fifty bricks sitting on my chest I pulled out my crystal books and learned that pink kunzite, obsidian and lavender jade all help heal a sore heart. So off I went to my favourite crystal shop in search of a pendant that I could wear close to my heart. The only pendant I could find was a beautiful little raw pink kunzite with a silver clasp, perfect. I now wear this crystal every day and have been pleasantly surprised by how much it has eased the feeling of heaviness in my heart. This morning, for example, I forgot to put it around my neck. I found some old photos of my partner on my laptop and was looking through them. I started to feel heavy in my heart. I put the necklace straight on and the pain was gone in five minutes.
The journey isn’t over yet, and I know that my heart still has some healing to do. I’m going to keep wearing my pink kunzite every day around my neck until I feel I no longer need it. I know that day is just around the corner.

Hi Frances,
that is a very touching story and I wish you all the best on your journey, wherever it takes you. I’m sure all events and people are interconnected and all happens for a reason- it is up to us to define what effect it has on our lives.
