Grief is a painful emotion that transforms who you are. But with the help of healing crystals, we can learn and grow as a result of the changes we go through.
The Five Stages Of Grief
The Kübler-Ross grief model involves five stages of grief and loss. We go through these five stages in order to process the loss of someone or something dear to us.
The five stages are denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. There's no right or wrong way to go through these stages. We each experience loss in our own way and at our own pace.
Today we're not going to explore in-depth the Kübler-Ross model. What we'll do is look at the best healing crystals for grief so we manage to see the light at the end of the tunnel.

Which chakras are involved with grief?
You might be tempted to think that your heart chakra is the only one taking the brunt of the suffering. But when you’re going through these difficult times, your entire energetic body is taking a direct hit.
Each stage of the grieving process involves your heart chakra, but also other chakras. Depending on the stage, at least one other chakra is very active. The denial involves your third eye and throat chakras. Anger powers up your solar plexus and root chakra. The bargaining involves your sacral and throat chakra. During the depression, all of your chakras take a hard hit. Then, when you reach acceptance, your crown and root chakras light up as you restore the healthy energy flow through your body.
