Okay, so people ask me about crystals sometimes. I’m not like, a super expert, you know? But I do mess around with them a bit. Sunstone is one I actually stuck with for a while. I remember first hearing about it when I was feeling really stuck, kinda foggy and just… blah. Needed something to shake things up.
Went to this little shop, not really expecting much. They had a bowl of tumbled stones. I wasn’t looking for anything specific, but this one orange sparkly piece just caught my eye. Wasn’t the biggest or prettiest, but felt kinda warm in my hand? Sounds weird, I know. But I picked that one. Paid a few bucks and stuck it in my pocket.
First few days? Honestly, nothing dramatic. I just kept it in my pocket mostly. Sometimes I’d take it out and just hold it when I was zoning out or stressed at my desk. Felt kinda silly at first, like, ‘what am I even doing with this rock?’
What I Started Noticing
This is where it gets interesting, for me at least. It wasn’t like a lightning bolt. More like… slowly turning up the lights? I remember having this annoying project at work, the kind where everyone avoids responsibility. Usually, I’d just hang back too. But I found myself actually speaking up in a meeting, suggesting a way forward. Didn’t even think about it much, just did it. Felt… clearer, I guess? Less worried about what others thought.
- More ‘Get Up and Go’: I definitely felt less sluggish in the mornings. Not like caffeine-level energy, but more… willing to start the day? Hard to explain. Less dread, maybe.
- Feeling Brighter?: Yeah, like my general mood felt a bit lighter. Not ecstatic happiness, but the little annoyances didn’t seem to stick as much. Like water off a duck’s back, sort of.
- Confidence Thing: That speaking up thing wasn’t a one-off. I noticed I was a bit more… forward? Not aggressive, just more willing to take the lead on small things, make decisions without second-guessing myself into oblivion.
It’s subtle stuff, right? Not like winning the lottery. But it felt like some kind of block was dissolving. Maybe it was just a placebo, who knows? But I felt different when I consistently carried it or kept it nearby.
So yeah, I still have that Sunstone. Sometimes it sits on my desk, sometimes I’ll pop it in my pocket if I know I’ve got a challenging day or need that little mental nudge. I don’t rely on it for everything, obviously. You still gotta do the work. But it became like a little reminder, a physical thing to connect with that feeling of ‘yeah, I can handle this’.
Look, I’m not gonna tell you Sunstone will change your life overnight. That’s not how this stuff works, in my experience. But for me? Playing around with it coincided with me feeling a bit more positive, energetic, and confident. It was a tool I used during a time I needed a boost. That’s my honest take on it, based on what I actually did and saw for myself.
