Episode #84 – Crystals for Happiness
Introduction to the Podcast
Welcome to the Crystal Self Healer Podcast. I’m Corissa Weaver. On this podcast, we blend the magic of crystals with the science of psychology to help you break free from chaos, ditch the overwhelm, and master your emotions so you can have more energy, get more done, and feel better every day. Get ready to unlock your intuition and restore your true power as we cover how you can transform your life using crystals and self-awareness.
Are you ready to get started? Alright, let’s go.
The Paradox of External Happiness
Have you ever attached your sense of happiness to an event like getting a job, buying a house, or being in that relationship?
Happiness is somewhat synonymous with the human experience, but quite often external criteria are used to measure whether you have it or not.
This paradox sets you up for disappointment because using an external marker is often outside your control.
It’s not uncommon for people to believe that they will be happy once they achieve a certain milestone, like getting a promotion, having the perfect partner, or having items they covet.
I recently read an article where the author was saying that while the number of wealthy individuals has increased in the last 40 years, the happiness level experienced has not.
So if research is saying money doesn’t create happiness, what does?
If you’ve been wanting to experience more happiness but haven’t figured out how, this episode is for you. We are going to cover how you can use your crystals for happiness so you can feel more fulfilled and satisfied with your life.
So many of us have been told to get good grades, land the perfect job, work hard in hopes of being recognized so that you get that raise or promotion.
This messaging wasn’t solely directed at girls and women either. While some do actually get that raise or promotion, many put in all the effort, but still don’t see that promised end result.
And let’s be real, if you keep experiencing being overlooked or not climbing the ranks, it can take a toll on your level of happiness.
This prescribed path to happiness is what has trained us to measure our personal happiness by an external marker, regardless of whether we’re looking at a traditional education or employment path.
Most often you’re met with try harder or do more when you’re not successful, or even when you are successful, you’re immediately turned onto the next goal so you don’t get fully steeped in the success you have achieved.
What’s at the core here is that with an external measurement, experiencing happiness is like an ever moving goalpost or the mirage that keeps relocating the oasis you so desperately need in the middle of the desert.
As long as that external measurement is there, you never have autonomy or agency over your ability to create your own happiness.
Card Inspiration: Three of Pentacles
The card inspiration this week is the three of Pentacles.
Traditionally, this card is interpreted to mean showing your talent or advocating for yourself. Some interpret the three of Pentacles to represent teamwork, but from looking at the card, I find that to be a stretch.
When we look at the imagery, we see an individual wearing an apron standing on a bench in front of two other people.
This person is presumably speaking of the masonry work they have just completed. You can see that one of the individuals is holding what looks like a design plan, and it goes to follow that the person on the bench is discussing how the work does or doesn’t reflect the plan.
The two individuals are representative of the external validation or measurement being applied to your happiness, especially if you see them as checking in on the work being done by the person on the bench.
I found this card fitting for our topic today because in this situation where the person on the bench has to speak of their work, it only serves them if they have an internally measured sense of happiness about what they’ve produced.
Happiness isn’t a final destination like the last stop on the subway line.
They’re moments that get stitched together as we move through the entire spectrum of emotions.
It’s not uncommon for people to want to stay in a state of happiness by avoiding the darker and uglier emotions, but that will always backfire on you.
I know this because for years I had been living with undiagnosed postpartum and functioning just enough to keep my kids alive, fed, and on time to all their activities.
When people asked me what it was that I wanted or what would help, the only way I could verbalize my need was that I wanted to feel better.
This statement, albeit all I had access to, was a vague way of saying, I want to be happy.
The Role of Crystals in Personal Happiness
And when I decided to start working with crystals, my vague yet pressing desire was to feel better.
What I discovered, as many of my clients do too, is that the external part of the practice, knowing all the meanings or having the perfect crystal recommended on Google or Pinterest isn’t what creates competency or happiness within yourself or practice.
Clients often say they’ll feel confident in working with their crystals once they’ve learned everything or know all the meanings. And this is a fallacy.
Yes, learning how to work with your crystals arms you with ways you can work with them, but that’s again not the final destination.
Your happiness and your crystal practice is about digging in to your own measurements of whether the work you did brought about the result you desired.
Were you fully immersed in your practice that all time disappeared and it was only you and your crystals?
Did you feel empowered after performing your ritual?
Did you end your session feeling a sense of accomplishment, achievement, or success? Be that relaxation relief, invigorated, refreshed?
The happiness is derived from the act of doing, by you, for you. This is where the focus needs to be, not on the external validation by others and their outcomes.
There are other benefits too, like the relationship between working with your hands and the release of feelgood hormones in your brain.
And none of this requires the validation or approval of an outside person.
It’s under your purview and control, as long as you choose to take the action.
Introducing Honey Calcite
The crystal I’m going to offer today is Honey Calcite, and here’s why.
When you believe your happiness is derived from outside of you, Honey Calcite will help remove the energetic blocks and limiting beliefs standing in the way. This will allow for fresh perspective and new ways of thinking around your path to happiness instead of one prescribed by society.
With this new path comes excitement and enthusiasm and Honey Calcite supports and amplifies your faith and determination to break out of old patterns. Your feelings of being stuck will lessen and you’ll be motivated to take action for yourself, on your terms.
Honey Calcite works with the Solar Plexus chakra, which supports you in building your internal foundation of confidence that you need to believe in your work, sense of self-worth, and being less dependent on external approval.
Finally, when we allow others to dictate or validate our worth by their approval, we are giving away our power. Honey Calcite promotes a sense of personal agency and responsibility for creating change and forward momentum in your life. It empowers you to take deliberate action to create the life and happiness you seek.
Honey Calcite Ritual for Happiness
Here’s a simple ritual you can do to anchor into happiness, so you can create more of it.
You’ll need some alone time and a piece of Honey Calcite.
Find a quiet, comfortable space where you won’t be disturbed or interrupted.
Hold the Honey Calcite in your hand, feeling its temperature and texture.
If you feel called to, you can hold it up against your solar plexus as you focus on taking deep, intentional breaths, continuing to settle into this moment.
Allow your mind to serve up moments of happiness from your past.
This can be anything like the warm coffee you enjoyed, a laugh with a good friend, or the much needed and much appreciated alone time.
As these moments surface, allow yourself to re-experience the joy and happiness you felt when living these moments.
Focus on the feeling of happiness, imagining it growing and expanding in your body until it encompasses your entire being from the top of your head to the tips of your toes.
Notice just how many moments and memories you have of joy and happiness, and hold the intention to attract more of this into your life.
When you feel a sense of completeness, bring your attention back to your regular state of being.
Place your Honey Calcite on your altar or place it in your pocket as you go about your day as a physical reminder that you have the ability to create happiness with crystals.
