To aid Spiritual Connecting?

[tribalesque]

I'm looking for a stone that can help me to open up spirituality. I used to be able to see and feel energy and connect better with other entities, but after a period of emotional trauma, I completely shut off. Now I'm having trouble connecting to anything. It takes a great deal for me to even be able to feel the energy around me. I find it virtually impossible to shift my state of consciousness.

Does anyone have any recommendations to any stones, or combinations of stones that may help me open up again and be able to connect with the spiritual world?

FYI - I am doing other things to try and open up. I'm not hoping that slapping a stone around my neck will automatically allow me to see spirits and deity as clear as day. But I'd like all the help I can muster.

Rose quartz and amethyst are two good stones, and some may disagree but I find carnelian good too. Maybe go to a store and hold different tumbled stones and see if anything calls you out?

I do little chakra work, but I heard it does wonders in helping people open up. This forum has some wonderful chakra information that might help you along your way.

I've been trying. I've thought about going to see someone, like a reputable reiki worker or something, who can perhaps help, but I just don't have the money, and I've never met anyone who does it for free (or that I can trade skills with).

I'll keep trying. I'll also take your advice and check out the selection at a store and see if any of them feel suitable.

Citrine sounds like a pretty good option too, because it aids both healing after emotional trauma and general spiritual development. :) I wish you the best of luck with trying to find a stone that suits you... after all, the most important thing is how you personally feel about one...

Amethyst would probably be the easiest to find and most effective

Citrine could be helpful, but I would first suggest that you work on healing from the emotional trauma that you mentioned. You could have blockages resulting from that.

To be honest, I feel quite over it it all. It happened at least three years ago. My self esteem took quite a blow, but even that is improving slowly.

If there is some kind of blockage as a result from it (which, it would make sense if there was since I feel entirely spiritually disconnected), I'm unaware of it, which is a reason I was thinking about seeing someone such as a reiki therapist or such who might be able to pick up on what's going on where I can't.
