Breathwork and Crystals
I have been working with Crystals since 2011, in 2019 a luminos healer introduced me to breathwork. Her name is Gwen Dittmar! I manifested her into my life when I finished my first ever coaching course and felt like I needed to make another big leap in my life. I didn’t know how to shift t and I needed some help. I asked for spirit to send me someone close to home that could coach me when I hit a limit and teach me new healing modalities for my tool box. I received exactly what I asked for.
I can’t believe It’s been almost one full year of doing breathwork! It’s been one of the most transformational years of my life. With her guidance and facilitation I’ve been able to make radical leaps in my personal and business life. Some of the most important things she has ever reflected back to me was the need to ask for help, the reminder that I am already healed and that I am and fully capable of nurturing and loving myself.
This is ultimately the same message communicated by the Crystal beings, you are already exactly who you want to be, the human self just needs to step into the vision of your highest self, but unless we release some very human aspects of ourselves, it’s going to be uncomfortable to ascend as we battle our ego, comfort zones and often times the wounded child within.
What is Breathwork?
According to Gwen. “ Breathwork is an active, efficient, effective technique that will allow you to disconnect from the mind, enter a different state of consciousness. Breathwork can reduce stress and blocks, constriction, release of trauma, anxiety, depression, fear, grief and/or anger. Breathwork can give you access to deeper states of consciousness, inspiration and love. Breathwork touches your work, finances, relationships, health conditions.” I can with one hundred percent certainty say this has been my exact experience with breathing. Combining Breathwork and Crystals have given me the fastest and biggest shifts of my life. It changed my life, in ways I never thought of. I’ve reached a level of peace with self that I never truly thought could happen to me which is why I’m sharing it with you!
What Crystals should I use for breathwork?
I believe bigger is better when it comes to incorporating Crystals into a Ritual Breathwork Session. Here is my logic, the bigger the rock the more the mass and density it has, the more wisdom it has to offer. It is also serves as a reminder that everything will be ok and to return to breathing when my ego and body is screaming for me to stop because I’m physically uncomfortable. Your mind is extremely powerful, there are moments you can talk to self and really listen to what our inner conversations are trying to tell us. I routinely work with four crystals for breathing, a 5 pound Raw Rose Quartz, 2 pound Double Terminated Quartz and a 1 pound double terminated Smoky Quartz, 1 pound Mexican Selenite. Which Crystals I use depends on the intentions for the session or what my intuition is telling me. I always use selenite during every session. Selenite is extremely protective of your energy during ritual and as you are activating your body during breathing, your energy, especially if you are breathing at home alone must be protected. You can use any size Crystal to get started but I encourage you to invest in a stone that is at least as big as your hand, these size Crystals are affordable and a really beautiful object to remind you to invest in and prioritize self. I find that using raw or double terminated Crystals have been the most impactful during my sessions. Raw Crystals tend to unearth things that have been long hidden allowing you to release/heal and Double Terminated Crystals send and receive energy at an incredible rate and are able to balance your Chakras when resting on your body.
Note: Breathwork Healers train extensively in order to guide and protect our energy and guide our journey, when they are out of the picture, it is your responsibility to do this for yourself. If you have never done breathework before, I encourage you to do your first session with a certified healer, breathing is a hell of an experience, conjuring up a lot of feelings and at times physical discomfort which can be scary if you are alone or have never experienced it before! I’ve had my whole body go numb, I’ve stopped breathing entirely and floated out of earth (don’t worry I came back), I’ve had my guides come in and forcefully remove blocks from my body, I’ve also sobbed uncontrollably, thrown up, screamed into pillow until I lost my voice, forgiven myself and others and I’d do it again for the feeling of peace and clarity that comes after breathing.
“The Best Crystals for Breathwork are Elestial, trasmutors, or open the higher chakras: SELENITE , QUARTZ, ROSE QUARTZ , SMOKY QUARTZ AND AMETHYST ”
HOW TO BREATHE WITH CRYSTALS
This is my personal ritual, you are welcome to use it exactly as written or shift it as your practice requires. We are all unique individuals and what works for me may not work for you but this technique has given me incredible results so you should try it at least once!
Step One: Pick Whatever Crystals you want to work with during you Breathwork Session.
Step Two: Deeply Cleanse your Crystals with a short or long form Smudging Ritual.
Step Three: Program your Crystals with you intentions. Hold them in your hand and whisper into the Crystals.
Step Four: Place a Crystal above or at your Crown Chakra and near your ears, creating an invisible triangle. This will allow the crystal to really channel healing energy and communicate any divine messages to you.
Step Five: Place a Crystal at your heart center or at the exact chakra you think is a little stagnant or blocked. This will allow the Crystals to really amplify and send energy throughout your body, re aligning your Chakra system.
