Steps leading to acceptance
Acceptance is a journey, not a destination. Just like a river meanders through mountains and valleys before finding its way to the ocean, the human soul goes through different stages to achieve true acceptance. Lithotherapy, with its ancient wisdom, offers us tools to facilitate this inner journey.
1. Recognition of emotions: The first step towards acceptance is recognition. Before you can accept, you must first recognize and name what you feel. Whether it's sadness, anger, fear or joy, every emotion has its place. Imagine each emotion as a precious stone, one of a kind. By recognizing these emotions, we honor them, and this allows us to better understand our own inner landscape.
2. Understand the causes of resistance: Why is it so difficult to accept certain aspects of ourselves or the situations we experience? Often it's because we resist. This resistance may come from deep-rooted beliefs, fears, or past hurts. In lithotherapy, certain stones, such as the self-acceptance stone, can help us reveal and understand these resistances, thus allowing us to release them.
3. Letting go: True acceptance comes from letting go. It is the moment when we stop fighting against what is and start to embrace reality as it presents itself to us. Letting go does not mean resignation, but rather a deep understanding that everything is constantly evolving. Stones of acceptance of change can be valuable allies at this stage, reminding us that everything, like the river, eventually finds its way.
Acceptance is an ongoing process, a delicate dance between recognition, understanding and letting go. With the help of the stones, we can navigate this path with grace, compassion, and a deep understanding of ourselves.
