Release addictions and dependencies

Amethyst’s name comes from the Greek word améthystos (αμέθυστος) meaning not drunk or unintoxicated. In ancient Greece, it is said that people believed that the crystal would protect you from drunkenness. It is even said that some would drink their wine from amethyst cups to remain sober.

.

Regardless of the truth behind the Greek legend, amethyst is a fantastic crystal to use when you’re trying to break free from dependencies or addictions. It can support you in quitting an addictive substance by strengthening your willpower and clarifying your reasons for wanting to quit. However, if you’re dealing with a pharmaceutical dependency, it’s essential to seek medical assistance to safely achieve sobriety.

.

Addiction and dependency aren’t limited to drugs. Perhaps your upbringing was in a toxic environment, where manipulation, emotional distress, or violence were commonplace. Consequently, your nervous system might crave the only energies it recognises: stress, adrenaline, or drama. Maybe you have co-dependencies issues in your relationships and feel it is not healthy for you as it makes you forget or ignore your own needs, value or voice.

.

Amethyst connects you with your inner wisdom, helping you rediscover the part of you that knows you’re inherently worthy of love, even if it’s not from the person you desired. This process gently restores your sense of self and clarity, opening you up to genuine love from those who appreciate you for who you truly are.

Connect with your inner knowing, higher wisdom and guidance.

Amethyst is a potent spiritual stone. I wonder if the Greek legend of people drinking wine from amethyst cups what not about staying sober but about increasing the connection to the wine medicine in the scope of Dyonisos teachings and healing practices.

Accessing your intuition, wisdom, and guides isn’t exclusive; it’s a capability available to all. Even though it’s accessible to all, not everyone knows how to connect within. Additionally, not all approaches are suitable for every individual. Insights may come to some during meditation, others while playing sports, or even through a repetitive activity such as knitting.

The amethyst will help you find your way back to your inner wisdom and guides. It will help you find the techniques and environment you need to tune back into your soul and consciousness.
