2018, the year of almost no highs and a tons of lows (for me personally) was the year I really started taking my mental health seriously. I started taking a Yoga class towards the end of the year which helped me immensely both physically and mentally. However, I kept feeling like a little piece of the puzzle was missing and I started looking for self-healing practices. That’s when I first stumbled upon the concept of crystals and the healing powers they’re believed to possess. While I was a bit skeptical, I decided to at least give it a shot and see for myself if it works for me. As soon as I received my crystals in the mail, I instantly felt drawn to them.
I worked with a Rose Quartz and an Amethyst for the first time in my life and from the day I started using them, I felt a shift in my own energy as well as in the little things around me. The Rose Quartz helped me in accepting my own self and loving myself just as I am. I slowly began to value myself and my feelings and over time understood that the situations around me don’t diminish my worth.
Working with the Amethyst crystal gave me a lot of clarity in different areas of my life and helped me connect to my inner self more deeply. It helped me in trusting my intuition more and more. I also felt a connection with the Universe in a way I had never experienced before.
I learnt about cleansing, programming and caring for crystals all on my own looking at YouTube videos and reading blogs.
In 2020, I started practicing Daily Affirmations and that added a shot of much needed positive energy in my daily routine. After that I felt a calling towards Tarot Reading and again with trial and error tried to learn it by myself. While I was doing readings for my family and friends I felt I lacked the self-confidence to start doing readings for people outside my own circle. So I decided to make it official and completed a certification early last year in Tarot Reading. Some other certifications I’ve done include Oracle Reading, Crystal Healing, Reiki, Angel Communication.
Looking back at my own healing journey (which is ongoing) and how these healing tools helped me change my reality is what really motivates me to share all my knowledge and experience to help other people and empower them to begin their own healing journey. I understand what it feels like to find the courage to pull yourself out of the chaos around you. It’s easier said than done, but I genuinely believe that a gentle nudge is all it takes to take a step in the right direction.
Through Vanilla Rituals, I intend to provide that soft push and help others connect better to their inner self and wisdom. ☺️
