Crystals have helped with depression-based chronic fatigue.
Chronic fatigue seems to be a difficult to understand malady. With the help of a very good therapist, I came to realize that it is triggered by situations in which I feel I have no control of my life. Or at least no control of specific, individual situations.
Take today for example. Something happened last Friday which would have left anyone feeling tired. However, it didn't go away in a day or so, as a routine fatigue would have done. This morning I picked up my citrine crystal, and asked that it help me overcome the extreme tiredness.
I read the material in The Crystal Bible about the stone, and put it in my pocket. The "bible" said to wear it at the throat, a couple of other places, and it should be touching the skin. Since mine is a rough crystal, I couldn't find a way for it to touch the skin. So since I was so tired, when I was getting breakfast I had to sit down several times. Each time I took the crystal from my pocket and held it against my throat.
Finally, it happened. The fatigue didn't just disappear (damn!) but I finally understood that it was the Old Chronic Fatigue, and remembered the sitaution on Friday which had triggered the stuff.
My perception is that the crystal didn't wave a magic wand kind of thing, but helped me to understand what the trigger situation was. Usually, after I understand the triggering episode it takes an hour or so for the stuff to just go away.
I guess my point is that the little gems have several ways to help us understand the genesis of our maladies, and therefore heal ourselves.
Thank the Good Goddess!
