Episode #121 – The Truth About Trusting Yourself

Welcome to Crystal Self Healer

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? All right, let’s go

Empaths Feeling Powerless

As empaths and sensitives, you don’t always feel like you have control over your life and the events that leave you shaking your head in disbelief.

It can be hard when you feel like a ping pong ball bouncing between being okay and feeling like events around you are too overwhelming, and when the events are too monumental to be affected by you as an individual.

Whether the events are personal and yours or on a larger collective level, you do have an opportunity to empower yourself to have an impact.

Detour Into Women’s Inequality

We’re going to take a detour here today and break from the usual format for an episode and address some things that you’ve probably witnessed in the greater world around you.

And that is the underlying premise and belief that women are, or should be seen as, less than men.

That they do not get to have the same rights and privileges bestowed upon them as men.

And that the systems and structures of societies within which you live are holding this double standard in place.

Not just by the actions and choices of men, but also because women facilitate and perpetuate these structures and systems.

I am well aware that there are going to be people who disagree with my perspective here, and that’s okay.

However, without getting into the weeds around gender dynamics, I will point to the fact that in America, the Equal Rights Amendment has yet to be enshrined into law, and suggest that the perpetuation of systems and structures is, at a minimum, one of the fundamental reasons why.

Highest and Best Good Check

Now, let’s talk about the highest and best good here.

If you position yourself as someone who wants to usher in the highest and best good, are you ensuring that your actions are indeed aligned with that stance?

Understanding that the highest and best good can involve unpleasant outcomes or experiences, that isn’t necessarily the flex that you may think that it is here.

The unpleasant outcomes or experiences you may encounter are meant to hasten your personal growth, not the justification to purposely cause someone to suffer at your hands.

Meaning, are you turning a blind eye to injustices that you see around you, or are you simply amplifying the voices that are bringing awareness to the issues?

Are you willfully supporting agendas that, while they may immediately secure your comfort, are not designed to lift all ships with the rising tide?

Are you using your place of privilege to stand on the neck of others who don’t hold the same proximity to safety and security that you hold?

Or perhaps you don’t see yourself as the person who holds the ability to bring about change, you might feel hopeless and powerless in the face of the inequity.

Clear Quartz for Clarity

I’m going to offer clear quartz as the crystal to work with.

Clear quartz is a crystal that offers clarity and becoming more aligned with the highest and best good.

To know whether you hold life as sacred, clear quartz aids in overcoming confusion.

Clear quartz will amplify and magnify energy it comes into resonance with, which makes it a wonderful crystal to work with for manifestation.

However, the downside of this is that whatever you are manifesting, be it intentionally or unintentionally, good or negative, will come back to you.

This work calls you to intimately know your core values and beliefs.

The lines you draw between acceptable and unacceptable for violations made against a person and their divine right to life.

To be able to sit in the discomfort, without tuning out that discomfort, when your belief and choices create or bring about harm to the others you claim to want the highest and best good for.

And to have the inner strength to choose differently when you realize how you can be a part of the solution instead of someone who just allows unjust systems and structures to do what they do.

Courage to Be Change

It’s about standing up and saying something when you see something that doesn’t sit right.

It’s having the courage to be the support for yourself or others as they navigate bringing light to what needs to be seen.

Whether you use that to make changes within your own life or the lives of the people you have no immediate connection with, the choice is in your hands.

You can work with clear quartz in practices that build courage, clarify your understanding, strengthen your voice, and alchemize you to be an agent of change.

To be an agent of change, you have to be willing to examine what gets in the way of acting like one.

And that’s the work.

Know Where You Stand

Maybe you struggle with boundaries.

Maybe you struggle with staying true to your beliefs.

Maybe you struggle with saying what needs to be said.

Maybe you struggle with being seen.

Whatever your individual struggle is, this work lifts you out of being the ping pong ball because you know where you stand.

You know what matters to you.

You know what you will and won’t participate in.

You know when something is yours to change and when it isn’t.

And when something is yours to change, you trust yourself enough to move through the discomfort and into someone whose actions are actually congruent with the person you believe yourself to be, and you’ll see the world you want to live in.

Members Portal and Ritual

And that’s the work I support you with inside the Crystal Self Healer members portal.

If you’re curious what that looks like, you can join me each month for the new moon crystal ritual to get a taste for the work we do.

It’s a chance for you to step away from the noise of your everyday life and to reflect on the intentions you want to set that will guide you on your path.
