Hello and welcome back to Spiritually Speaking with me Sam and with me Jess.
Hello, we just started this podcast and then I realised that my laptop was about to die
and so I just had to go and get a charger because me and Jess have been chatting for
an hour and a half I think, yeah an hour and a half before starting the podcast.
It was just like, me and Sam basically just coach each other don't we
100% and I absolutely love it I genuinely don't know what I did before you I don't know what I
did before you and also do you know what I forgot like I didn't make a big deal out of it but you
told me you loved me in a message the other day I feel like that's the first time I've been working
on you I tell you I love you all the time and you're like i always laugh
because you're like yeah bye and i'm always like love you love you honest to god and i've been
and i was listening to this podcast that you just gotta keep saying love you and then i got it back
from you on saturday and i was like i love you too oh my god that is so funny i had no idea
because you're not a love you person massively are you
or are you evidently not yeah I don't know like I don't really like so funny but all my closest
friends are my love you and sometimes I'm like oh I am so that is so funny oh my god well you know what Jess I do love you I love you too honestly I am so grateful for
you like the hour and a half that we just had we will reveal all soon and we will unpack it
at some point on the podcast but yeah like you've just a very instrumental part of my life I would
say my babes I love you very much and I'm very grateful for you and our friendship like i i feel like this friendship is such a like positive and we prod and we push and we're like
right let's let's dig deep we allow ourselves to get uncomfortable don't we and yeah and be
vulnerable and i think like going back to when we spoke about that friendship episode it's so nice
to kind of show people as well like you can form
them friendships and you when you're an adult yeah like if you're now at any age and you don't feel
like you have someone in your life who you know you feel like you get that from they can come at
any point definitely yeah and it's really funny actually I don't know sorry I don't know if I
told you this that I once had a reading from someone in Dubai. It was when I was just about to open up the salon
and she said to me, she was like, you're going to meet someone in your life who's going to be like
a really big part of your life and they're going to be a Pisces.
Oh my goodness. And here I am.
Yeah. And here you are. And I I remember at that point like looking around at everyone
like who's a Pisces who's a Pisces yeah I'm as as Pisces as you get so it was definitely
clear when I came into your life but no it is lovely it's really nice friendship and we do
we do help each other and this is to be honest like you're right with friendships some of the
people like you my friend Lisa who's here in Thailand with me now
and my friend Risa who's in Dubai you three between like between you all I'm like right
I'm digging into this working out and I'm like I don't need therapy I've just got my guys
yeah right because it does really just it does help and I think probably because we're all
on the self-development journey yeah there's like a non-judgmental
mindset which is really valuable um and also I do think like sometimes when your friends like
my school girls like I'm just such a plonker with them I absolutely love hanging out with them
but like the minute I get deep they're like here she goes and I'm like sorry girls oh my god mine
are the exact same my school friends
are exactly the same because I feel like she is again yeah like they know you from that younger
version that was yeah like you know so funny isn't it it's funny vibes but anyway I'm just feeling
really loved by you so thank you oh well I've been able to tell you that and I didn't even
realize I was like when it came through I was like yes yes that is so funny
I know and how are you what's been going on yeah I'm good I have had I don't really even know what
I've been doing this week I have had oh I had a really lovely weekend and one of my yeah one of
my best friends Sophie bless her she my 30th birthday she booked me and her a stay k um in dubai at the new one and
only hotel honestly it was unreal um so when it was her birthday a few years ago we did the same
thing and it was just so much fun and this was she's got kids and i didn't have kids and she
was like i just want to go and stay in a hotel so I was like right so we went and stayed in a hotel it was amazing we had so much fun and then she did the
same for my 30th and um it was just so much fun it was lovely we drank we chatted we literally we
got there we had an amazing room upgrade the room was huge we sat in the room we opened a bottle of
champagne we ordered room service and we just chatted for hours and then got ready went out for dinner came back had an early night woke up went
to the gym um she was like oh should we not go to the gym and i was like no you've told me to bring
gym stuff we're going to the gym the gym was amazing and we went to the gym and then we had
a really nice hotel breakfast where you had a mimosa.
Who doesn't love a mimosa in the morning?
Love that.
Oh, it was just lovely.
It was so nice. Your room looked amazing.
It looked massive.
The room was insane.
It was huge.
When we got there, we said to the woman who showed us the room, we were like, is this
a normal room?
Sophie was like, I don't think this is a room I paid for.
Yeah.
She was like, no, no, no, we've upgraded you.
Like you said, it was a birthday. And I was like, oh, that's is a room I paid for yeah she was like no no we've upgraded you like you said it was a birthday and I'm like oh that's so nice so that was lovely I love that
so you have an upgrade yeah other than that pretty normal week with the girls and in and out and
stuff I am making some big business shifts are happening but we will discuss that at a later
date yeah so that's consuming your
mind probably a lot yeah I've had like some really amazing interviews um which has been really good
and it's just been nice to yeah come into that mindset again you're back you're in the mojo my
girl love it how about you I'm good so we're not in so high light diaries well we had
a lot of rain which was a shame not a shame actually i was quite happy with that um but
my friend lisa from the uk arrived on monday morning which was lovely so it's really nice to
have like someone here with just a friendly face yeah and we have such good chats I feel like we unravel a lot when we
speak and chat and yeah so that's been really good um and then what has been going nothing too like
wild so obviously last time I had like the kayak in the snake hasn't been I've seen a couple of
rats which I've not loved but I guess you, you know, here's what it is.
You're in the jungle and it's the dirtiness that's sometimes around,
like the bins overflow and then there's rats on the streets.
You get them in Dubai as well.
I see rats in Dubai often.
When we first moved into our old apartment,
we used to park in the basement and there'd be rats
and I literally would oh my god I
would feel sick like I'd run to the building oh it's horrible yeah last night we saw one when we
was eating like it wasn't in the I know it was like the restaurant it was on the beach and then
we just sat with our legs up yeah because you just have a fear they're gonna like nibble you and you
just don't need that do you oh god yeah and that is the only thing here like even um on monday i went to like this national
park it was just like a good place to get your steps in because the my driver blessing me such
a baby takes me everywhere um and i was like right let's get lisa from the airport but he wanted to
leave two hours early and i was like that's. So anyway, we had an hour to kill.
So he took me to this really nice place for walks.
But there was a wild, like, not wild, like a stray dog.
And he had all blood on him and he'd been attacked.
And he was just like, it made me sad.
But I didn't want to touch him because, see, I didn't want to get rabies.
Yeah, you don't want to get rabies, yeah.
There's this amazing guy in Thailand called Niall.
Have you seen his instagram no maybe
i need to find yeah honestly you do does he help stray dogs yeah that's exactly what he does
he is honestly incredible he's been on this morning before um talking about it he is cool He is called... I'll have to find him. I won't find the dog now.
Niall Harabison.
Harabison.
Literally, he just helps stray dogs.
It's amazing.
Such an incredible guy.
Do you know what?
My thought process was like, I wish I was a vet right now.
Yeah.
But obviously I'm not.
And I wouldn't know what to do other than give him some healing so I just I kind of said to the dog I'm really sorry because I was he was
staring at my soul and I was like I'm so sorry yeah I can't do anything and I wish I'm a vet
I said I actually spoke out loud and was like I'm sorry um yeah so I've struggled a bit with that
other than that I've just been taking it easy breezy, to be honest, babes.
And it's been good.
And then we're heading off to Krabi on Thursday and I need to extend my visa.
So I'm doing that tomorrow, which is nice and easy.
And then I think I'll spend another few more weeks in Thailand.
I think I'm going to go to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Koh Samui.
And then I think I'm going to head to Vietnam. I'm really excited for Vietnam. I feel going to go to Chiang Mai, Bangkok, Koh Samui. And then I think I'm going to head to Vietnam.
I'm really excited for Vietnam.
I feel drawn to go there.
Oh, I saw some monks.
Yeah, which was cool.
I mean, again, the driver was giving me a tour of everywhere.
And also he was telling me that he went into a monastery for a month.
It's kind of like, not national service,
but they get the men to
go and be a monk for and then I guess that's how you go and convert because I was obviously the
first thing I said was is it like I was like did their dads like were the dad's monks and the
neighbour going monks but it's not because to be a monk you don't have sex do you I was just thinking that but then I was like it's obviously not like that because
imagine life like that like I do sometimes think like the life of just simplicity and no attachment
would be lovely like because you would just but I don't feel like that's living that's just you know
maybe I will be a nun eventually but I don't think so but everyone was like giving them food obviously they don't
buy food everyone gives them food and they it's like a blessing to give a monk food so then they
all go down into like a prayer position and yeah putting their hands together go down give them the
food the monks take it and then they only eat at 11 a.m and that's it
for the day i know i was like a good like bit of a detox yeah yeah the orange robes and they don't
wear shoes so that was quite cool but yeah natal my driver he said he did it for a month i was like
come on mate that's a good effort and then he said he's done stop yeah I think he missed the ladies kind of like
dry January isn't it yeah I think he was like a month was enough he was like a week would have
been like people be like what's the point and I think he was like a month like you kind of get an
element of respect for that I was like fair enough he's so sweet though he's so sweet he like tells
me like I was trying to sleep and he keeps waking
me up to tell me like this is this and there's loads of macros in Thailand and he tells me he
watches shows me every macro and I'm like all right babes what's the macro do you not do not
know like Costco oh it's like we've got one in Essex so he shows you all the shops everything
he's like look look macro and I'm like oh yeah and then he's like there's another one
and he like tell like so he's constantly telling me and obviously because I'm polite I like really
engage in the conversation but the other day we turned up at the wrong apartment and I thought
that was where we were staying and it was a shit hole and I was really uptight and I was really
like you know when you can feel like you're stressed and I'm not often stressed and I think yeah yeah he's a shit hole and he's like laughing
and joking I'm like babes I'm about to like have meltdowns so could you just like read it in yes
get on my vibe yeah I was like read the room okay I don't not care about macro just so like yeah
so it's all good.
But anyway, enough about my boring week.
There really hasn't been much to update you on.
But I've had some lovely messages from people about the last episode of the rituals.
Oh, good. Yeah, just sort of saying how much they benefited from it,
that they've all gone to get some of the bits that we spoke about.
And they were just like, it was really helpful.
So thank you for that feedback. Oh, good. it's nice so um you did you come up I think you also came up with
this idea of crystals didn't you you sort of wanted to know yes I did yeah yeah so do you use
crystals much so my dad loves crystals we have so many crystals in our house um in their house my mom and dad's
house like i mean giant ones like loves them like rocks and stuff like that but he doesn't
know any of their like meanings he just goes off the ones that he loves the look of type that's nice yeah so I kind of
grew up loving stuff like that from him and again had had crystals but didn't know they were crystals
and just had them because I just thought they were privacy and then I think probably in the
last few years I um did a lot more like you know, not even necessarily research knowing like intentionally.
Yeah.
But just, yeah, started to have a few different crystals.
I've got like a few like rose quartz, clear quartz, different ones like that.
My sister's also a little bit interested in it.
And she bought me a mini Moldavite.
When did she do that?
It was before i was pregnant that much before
yeah i think like six months maybe before interesting um i can't remember exactly when
but i know that it was before because i took the moldavite and I put it where I used to keep my pregnancy tests. Oh.
Because I was like hoping that obviously.
So Moldavite, for anybody who doesn't know,
I think I'm right in saying this,
it's supposed to be like the surge of like,
it's a bit of an intense crystal, isn't it?
Yeah.
And it was only like a tiny, tiny bit of Moldavite.
I used to keep it in my purse and then I um put it
in fact I think it's in my purse now but I kept it with my um yeah with my pregnancy tests and my
ovulation sticks and yeah all that fun stuff yeah it's a powerful one like you can't use moldavite
like lightheartedly yeah it's like a real like catalyst of change yeah yeah it's like whatever's
not working it's gonna go it's very like here we go like so I always say kids yeah it's like you
want to get pregnant you can have two like it's that kind of thing so yeah like it's a big big um
I wouldn't just get that crystal for a laugh. Willingly. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.
But also it's quite hard to get hold of Moldavite.
It's quite, like, to get proper Moldavite can be quite tricky.
Yeah, well, I think she was waiting for quite a while to get it. And then when she did, like I say, she got it.
And like I say, it's this, like, tiny little bit of it.
So, yeah, so I've got that.
And then you bought me crystals when the girls were born, which was lovely.
Which you told me to put them by the side of their bed. They actually by the side of my bed cheeky cow that's all i know
the reason being because they used to sleep obviously in our room and i just haven't moved
them over yeah i just haven't they're obviously meant to be there yeah i got the girls both for
crystal each didn't i was like yeah i really want to get some more to be fair.
Like I do have some nice, I could say little ones.
I tend to keep them in like where I get ready, like in my makeup bag, that type of thing.
But yeah, let's talk crystals.
We're going to delve into it all and then you can work out the ones you want, what you're going to do.
And we will be getting those crystals out your makeup bag because they need to be loved a bit more than in the makeup yeah which is where a lot I think a lot of people's
crystals are in a little bag in a drawer hidden yeah because they don't want people to think
they're crazy and it's like right let's work through that or they're so hidden it's like well
at the end of the day if you're listening to this podcast you're obviously a little bit interested so you know safe space um yeah he's a safe space yeah let us delve into it i actually have my
makeup bag in front of me i'm just trying to see if there's any in this makeup bag i think i've
moved them to another one anyway sorry you carry that's all right girl right so what i've done i've
actually made two little like um things i'm going to put on Instagram because again with the rituals everyone
liked having the information after so firstly you will get all this information on Instagram so don't
feel like you need to like write loads of notes or be like shit what was that one because you'll
see it all on Instagram okay so I've just done a list of my favorites and I just wanted to talk
about them um and sort of explain what
they're for because when you're listening or Sam you might feel like yeah I want that one that one's
drawn to me so tap into your intuition and be like when Jess was speaking about that that that spoke
to me because that will be the crystal yeah that you want okay so a couple of things I wanted to start off with is not so much about um
the types of crystals but how to look after your crystals because I think one thing yeah so you buy
a crystal you put it in the drawer and then you forget about it and then you expect it to do the
work like that crystal has feelings like it has energy and I wouldn't like to be put in a drawer and not
see sunlight or the moonlight and I think that happens often so anyone's crystals that are hidden
get them out they want to shine okay noted so that's a big thing I know I said to put citrine
in your purse so that isn't getting light but that is with the money so the citrine does like being there I said that in the rituals one um but also like get that citrine out for full
moons to cleanse it um and also you can charge it on a new moon so people don't always know when to
get their crystals out um so they're not just these objects that should be neglected they should be
loved and nurtured because they hold so much
energy so when you think about like a clear quartz or a rose quartz like a lot of people know that
rose quartz is about love yeah so like you don't just buy it and then a boyfriend turns up like
that's not how it works it's like okay I've now got this rose quartz and this energy of this rose
quartz does bring in love and that sort of more partnership energy.
I need to really nurture it and give it the love it deserves.
It needs to be in a space that I can see it every day to really activate that energy.
And I think sometimes we just put it somewhere and it just becomes...
Well, yeah, that's what I've done.
Yeah. So then it's not sacred okay
so um the first thing is you just really need to establish that connection so when you go into a
crystal shop people are like what crystal should I choose like the first one your eye goes to is
your crystal like and then you'll choose the one next to it oh and then you'll go back to it just
like that's my crystal like just see it and get it
don't overthink it because I think we do that sometimes and I find that if there's a crystal
that I want I can't stop thinking about it when I'm in the shop so like I go I see it and then
I'm like oh that was my first one let me have a little look around and I'm like no I can't stop
thinking about it that's usually
my sign that that's my crystal because I don't I don't have loads of I do have crystals but I don't
have loads because it's not about quantity for me it's more the quality of the crystal and what I'm
needing at that time and I pass on my crystals a lot like when once it's served its purpose for me
yeah I pass it on oh I like that yeah because like isn't it when
it's done it's done like someone else can benefit from it so I I do believe that you should pass on
your crystals when you feel like they're they've had their time yeah like I had a beautiful piece
of labradite and I had that for years and then I had a client who was going through a really tough time and she needed it more than me like it was just that feeling yeah so it's nice and I also had
a necklace with amethyst on it and then I lost it on a night out I was devastated and then I was
like it was done and someone else is going to pick that up and they're going to be so happy that they
found that they'll be like oh my god that would have been a sign for them or something and I bet that's a really sacred piece of amethyst
that they do you know what I mean it's like yeah yeah so there's like this attachment that we build
of like having the biggest one and this is mine and actually like it's about exchanging and
understanding the connection and when you know so say you've had it and then you
stopped really acknowledging it maybe it's done its purpose and it now needs to be with someone
else to get the love it deserves so it's like yeah really going into that sort of energy okay
and sort of being really grateful for it and just being like you are the best crystal ever and you
have such great powers you know it's that sort of thing I find for me like wearing crystals
as jewelry is really important um so I always have my rings and that people always comment on
that have my crystals so um I've got a super seven which is a mixture of seven crystals like
that have come together um and I manifested that so um this this crystal is really rare like because it's it's from a mine
in I think South America it's very small and there's not much of this stone and someone told
me about it and I was like I want that as a ring and I want a teardrop shape and within a week I
found it yeah and it was just like it was mine and it is still mine and I think it will be mine
forever like I can never stop looking at that ring when we're together I know always looking at it
everyone's like it everyone is like that and I got it in um the band changed to gold at the
gold second fly so like it's really special you know, probably how people would look at their engagement ring. Like this is such a special, powerful crystal.
And it is never off my body.
It is always with me.
And I think like when I swim in the sea, it gets the salt water.
Like when I'm out in the sun, like this ring lives like me.
Like I've seen it all.
You know, so it's like, yeah.
So it protects me and it
really activated a lot of my powers for like my intuition so the crystal that I'm talking about
is called super seven or sacred seven you might be drawn to this one as I talk about it so not
all crystal shops have it but but jewelry is really good you see it as bracelets people wear
them as pendants um so I would say like try and get some crystal jewelry
that you're wearing all the time yeah that's really good and then usually what you find with
the beaded ones is when they break they're done like or they're not meant for you so that happens
sometimes um and then another thing you can do is making that more of a sacred space in your home
so like having a more of a spiritual altar so a bit like what we spoke in the last episode about having a space for your
rituals like for like money and citrine and stuff you would have like more of a space for your
crystals so you know it might be that you've got some really nice crystals you put them together
maybe you have some fresh flowers there you know and you sort of or you have it as like your centerpiece on your dining table I used to
have that a lot so I would have like a really nice mat and I would have all my crystals I'd have some
tea lights like I would go into my feminine and make something really beautiful out of like because
they're so beautiful crystals aren't they um so I think that's such a nice idea yeah so like you can do things like that or um a shelf like
having a shelf for your crystals so you have like an area and maybe there's like pictures of like
your loved ones there like let them shine bright like don't hide them and even if they're small put them in nice places
so it's things that you put your notes in sam i am yeah because you just i i know exactly like
i feel like i've got such a vision of it now and i know exactly what you mean because sorry i'm a
bit sniffly today um i feel like there's there's an area in your home and if you don't have this then create it because it can be
like I had it even in my flat where I could hear construction and everything but I could still have
that feeling of where you just sit down and your shoulders just like relax a bit and yeah having a
crystal in an area like that or a moment like that could really really help yeah definitely and like so for me like obviously I'm
traveling at the moment so I'm on the go so like I have um my so I've got a prayer book where I put
um names in for healing so that any of my clients and whatever so I have my prayer healing book with
me and then I have a teddy from my nan that she gave me um that I just keep with me my nan's still
alive it's not like it's
it's just weird nobody's one of those things where I just have it with me and then I have two crystals
and I have my affirmation book and as soon as I unpack I put them out in like the space that I'm
using the most because they're so sacred and they're so important so it's like they're really valued and they feel that value
because everything is energy everything yeah everything we do with intention comes back with
a high vibration so like if they just get left in my suitcase like they're just not working how they
want to and I do have actually as well my nanny Maisie who passed away I have her ring I'm just
showing Sam in with my jewelry so her ring is always there
um and it's just really special to me like so I keep these things because there's such energy
connected to it of like protection and love yeah so it's really like bringing that habit
I actually wear now my grandma's wedding ring love that on my thumb yeah and and if you don't
always want to wear the jewelry that
like of loved ones that have passed like like my nanny maisie's one like i do wear it sometimes but
it's not really my vibe but put it somewhere sacred put it in a jar with with lots of things
that are sacred so you don't want to wear it still have it with you like that that's what I do and it is yeah it's good so I think making it that
energy sacred is really key um so you've got a few takeaways already haven't you girl 100% my mind is
like bing bing bing bing bing yeah and like they're the main things like keep it simple like don't
overdo it because it is bringing in new habits when you actually work with your crystals
and sometimes it really depends on the crystal um I put me my
water as well so sometimes I have crystals in my bottle and I let the water charge with the crystals
oh yeah um not not selenite don't put selenite with water I have put that on the little document
I've made um but most crystals are fine with water so I'd actually put them out in the rain as well to charge with the rain water um wow yeah yeah so it's like lots of different things like
that so that's what I'd say so you love them like you would like to be loved and also as humans we
like to be touched you know we like a hug we like to be held and so do our crystals so sometimes
it's just taking that time to hold them and actually like feeling the energy because
if you go into a meditation with your crystals you will feel the vibration of the energy like you will
um it's very powerful but it takes a bit of time i'd say it takes a good couple of minutes for you
to connect with it especially if you're not doing it often and then you start to feel like it's like
a pulse yeah and you feel it and it's yeah it varies depending on the
crystal and so yeah it's really cool and putting them on your chakras so if you're laying down put
on your third eye put it on your throat chakra put it on your tummy for anyone that comes to
me for fertility stuff we're always put in tiger's eye on the tummy so yeah yeah when I was um having facility treatment I used to go for
acupuncture yeah and she would put a lamp over my tummy yeah and like similar yeah for that yeah
yeah definitely I'm really drawn to tiger's eye for like fertility I'm just putting that on my
notes um yeah something very grounding about it I think that's that's that's good well yeah i think she
used acupuncture there as well to be fair she would have done yeah acupuncture is like the
medicine for fertility anyone that's going through any fertility stuff or wanting to try for a baby
um i recommend acupuncture god i couldn't recommend it enough yeah yes it's incredible
yeah very very good it really does work with the chi in the body which
is like the energy from chinese medicine and it helps release a lot of stuff we hold on to a lot
especially our womb right okie dokie so do you know much about amethyst no okay so that might
be what my dad has a lot of though let me just google what it looks like dad's birthday is he a pisces no he is a leo he's first of august is that leo yeah that is that leo yeah he's a leo
yeah um yeah he has loads of those i mean oh bless it again amethyst amethyst yeah loads
um so amethyst is the purple crystal so it's about spiritual
awareness intuition and protection i love amethyst i'm very connected to it um i feel like it's a
beautiful crystal um but it's also just a really powerful one i always used to have amethyst as
jewelry and so it's very much about spiritual growth it you know really
sort of expanding your psychic abilities um and it does protect you from negative energies which
I like um so there's a real it looks nice I feel like well that's obviously why he's liked it yeah
yeah and would you put that sorry would you put that maybe then near like a window or a door
yeah yeah I'd put it
definitely near a window I'd let I'd want it to have sunlight definitely yeah just thinking in
terms of like the protection side of it yeah so you know like if you've got a table as you walk
in the house and you put your keys on it definitely have some crystals there and I'd say amethyst
would be a good one yeah yeah yeah 100% and also amethyst like if you've got a nice big piece of
credit on the floor near the front door,
like that sort of energy there, like definitely put crystals as you walk in and walk out of the space if you can.
My dad has got like a massive one, like I'm showing her like the shape of it.
Like it's huge.
And it's on the window ledge as you go upstairs.
Lovely.
Love that.
Yeah.
Really nice.
So like I'd say a lot of people get drawn to
amethyst for the way it looks and there's a reason why it looks beautiful is so that we want it
because it does so much so yeah it's a good one really nice um I also find with crystals in
general I prefer more of a rough crystal so what I mean by that is they do smooth crystals out a lot into like balls and cones and stuff that's lovely
but I prefer a rough like quartz crystal raw yeah sharp edges like I the more imperfect that it is
the more beautiful it is to me because it really has come from mother earth yeah I agree because
sometimes I kind of think with the little like pebble like ones
yeah are they still doing the same thing yeah they still are what they've done okay like so
they obviously will be fake crystals like you'll go into a shop and they might not all be genuine
and that's something people worry about I just would say when you pick up a crystal and hold it
how does it make you feel yeah if it's small and round and it feels
bloody lovely that's your crystal if you pick it up and it maybe it feels a bit light and it's not
it just doesn't feel like it's yours then it's not so it's more about going into the feeling
than like the visual like that's the very human way of looking at it like I want the biggest and
most perfect you know where my soul's like give me the one that's a bit
bit damaged yeah you know yeah because it's seen something it's experienced something it has power
but when they're what when they're smooth and round they've been like sanded and formed into
that shape so so they're still the crystal it's just they've been made to yeah be sold you know
like there's sort of that kind of yeah so it's really cool
and then the next one we have which I spoke about before which is the rose quartz which is like love
compassion and emotional healing so if you're wanting to attract love if you're going through
a heartbreak you find that like people gift you a rose quartz it's a very like I'll give her a rose
quartz you'll want that so it is about attracting
love but it's also for me more about promoting self-love like it's not about necessarily I'll
give me a boyfriend it's like I need to look after me and love me and I feel like rose quartz is more
about that and it's a beautiful pink rose quartz isn't it it's so gorgeous so like I always think it is a good gift for people rose quartz
um but yeah it helps with heartbreak definitely heartache you know it's one of those things so
you put it on your heart chakra put it there um I always have a rose quartz with me I've got one
with me here in Dubai I'm not Dubai I'm in Thailand um and I love it I'm getting confused where I am. Okay, this is my favourite crystal,
it's called selenite and this is the most powerful crystal, this is what got the girls.
Yeah. It is by far the most powerful crystal I feel is out there and it's the most simple crystal.
So it's about purity, clarity and spiritual connection. Sorry, when you just said that,
I got goosebumps
that's really weird yeah oh well you're meant to have some selenite yeah well i've stole it haven't
i from my girls well you need to be giving that selenite some love you need to be holding it and
hugging it put it in your dining table like you need to yeah it wants to be it wants a bit more
it does so it's all about cleansing and purifying the energy of a space.
So I would have selenite at the front door with the amethyst.
With selenite, you can get tiny little pieces that are like little twigs,
they're really skinny, and I put them above door frames.
So yeah, in my flat in the UK, I had selenite above every door frame,
you know, just because it breaks the energy every time someone walks through the door.
And bedroom doors, front doors.
So, like, it's a constant, like, clean, purify on every door.
That's so good.
Yeah, and I did it in Dubai as well.
In all my homes, I've done it.
Do you ever forget it and end up leaving it there?
Oh, God, there's lots of random things left in all different homes I've done it um ever forget it and end up leaving it there oh god there's oh
there's lots of random things left in all different homes yeah um I think everyone knows
that I'm a bit crazy when they like my poor tenant I think she probably found some stuff
and was like this girl's weird um but yeah so when you look at selenite it's it's um sort of a whitey cleary color like you can't see through it
yeah um but you can get really small thin pieces that you can put above door frames and I would
recommend everyone to do that um and definitely to have a piece by your front door um because
yeah it's just sort of it helps with that mental clarity like it helps with just sort of, it helps with that mental clarity. Like it helps with just sort of cleaning your energy up.
And if you've got that above every doorframe,
like how many times do you walk through a door?
Like multiple times in your home.
Like in and out, this, that.
So there's a constant like subconscious reset happening.
So it's really powerful.
But don't put selenite near water
doesn't work with water okay always keep it dry always keep it inside um and also selenite
charges crystals i always say it's like the phone charger like it gives the boost so if you've got
all your other crystals please always have a piece of selenite that is the most crucial crystal to have because
it charges everything it's just like the master in my opinion yeah so I feel like it's the most
sacred of the crystals and it's the most simple and that's why I like it so um yeah it's nice
isn't it so you could do a lot with your piece of selenite my babes yeah um so we spoke about
moldvite um but I will touch on it so i wouldn't
recommend everyone to get mold fight to be quite honest with you because it can really like disrupt
your life and it's got a bit of a reputation for being a real big like shifter and releasing like
a lot of shit from your life sometimes we're not ready for it um so it can be like a forced uh change that maybe
our soul is not prepared for um but if you are really wanting change then yeah absolutely try
and find a peace but it is hard I've never worked with Moldavite um I feel like my life has
a lot of transformation like I feel like my soul craves transformation so I I feel like I
live quite a Moldavite life anyway yeah I think if I had any I'd probably that'd be it combust
absolutely do you think I need to get rid of mine no no no it's fine it's fine um keep it away
you know it's done nothing to be feared of absolutely not but i think it's just
um it's done what it's needed to do they work everything's here to look after you everything's
here to protect you but it is a more fast-paced energy in moldavite there's there's a bigger
strength there for change it will it goes yeah that's not good we'll get rid of it so people
might have redundancies quite quickly but then they find their dream job it's not like
oh my god I'm homeless with no money thanks Moldavite yeah it's like you've made way for
a lot of things but yeah like I say in my life I've kind of done that through my own
sort of mindset but for other people they might want it to help them so it's something to think
about yeah and remember these are all my own personal opinions and perspectives on this so
you know you might not agree with me and that's okay like please disagree with me please
question what I'm saying because your intuition will be talking to you this is how my intuition
talks to me about yeah you know like how you've got the tingles that's your intuition talking to
you you know yeah and then it's like okay cool like I'm you know that's a story that's been
told now selenite okay I need to be using that more instantly feel more connected to that crystal
like when you go and see it after this podcast you will feel even more of a connection with that
piece of crystal you know yeah that's nice yeah so then we have the
the similar to selenite the clear quartz which again is the master crystal so this is always
really good for people so obviously it's clear and you can see through a clear quartz with a few
little marks and rainbows in it like but it's clearer than selenite um and it's like an over like it's like heals all things it's not just heartbreak and
it's not just physical or mental or illness it's one of those things if you want to get a crystal
and you don't know what one to get clear quartz is a really good starting place um and it's a
really good gift to give to people because it's like it's just here and it
helps with everything and so it just really amplifies energy kind of clears up because
it's clear you can see through it there's like a clarity that I feel with a clear quartz so
if you're feeling quite overwhelmed and your thought process is a bit crazy and you've got
some clear quartz like sit with your cup of tea and hold your clear quartz and let it work it's magic like don't just have it use it you know
so it's that kind of thing yeah um but again that kind of charges crystals as well so it's nice to
have a clear quartz okay so lab I always say this wrong it's called labradorite but I always say labradorite um
so sorry but it's just what works for me um I absolutely love this crystal and it's like a
gray kind of green and then it has like a shimmer that's really shiny with like blues and greens
it's like it's um it's just beautiful in my eyes but other people might not think it's just beautiful in my eyes, but other people might not think it's as beautiful. Um, kind of reminds me a bit of a crocodile,
like a shiny crocodile with glitter.
Oh yes.
Yeah.
I agree.
It's like,
yeah,
yeah.
I say this one,
I would say really helps with depression and anxiety.
Um,
so I feel like it holds,
it helps take the heavy energy that we hold. Um, that's how I feel like it holds it helps take the heavy energy that we hold and that's how I feel
with it um and it really protects you from like negative energy so if you are really suffering
with your mental health then this would be a crystal that I would go to and if I'm ever feeling
a bit more vulnerable mentally then that would be my go-to um yeah and also for friends that
are suffering with their mental health that'll be the first crystal I get for them um and I might
just put it under your pillow keep it close to you at night because that's when the anxiety can arrive
um and just keep it close and I like I like a heavy piece of labradiate and the reason I like
it to be heavy is because it feels like it holds the head like your own heaviness yeah so there's something quite symbolic about that i like a big
piece um but it is sort of very supportive of transformation and change and you find that when
we're depressed and when we're anxious it's because our soul is craving change and we don't
feel like we have the ability or skill set to make that change or we're so overwhelmed by the thought of change that we're exhausted and drained and we're not
living in our true purpose the labradite really helps with that so it's a real it's a heavier of
the crystals but very very powerful one and it helps with psychic abilities as well which is
nice so yeah keep that one close to you
even like for children that are suffering with anxiety um like take them to a crystal shop and
let them choose it um and get some labradite because they can then have that like on their
bedside table and if they're feeling anxious then you can just say like make sure to hold your
labradite put it on your heart focus on your breath see if you can feel the energy you know that it's really important to
get them using these things early because it's so powerful yeah um okay so the next one is tiger's
eye love a bit of tiger's eye do you know i don't know what that is now my girl so tiger's eye is like orange and brown
um bit like the tiger sort of look yeah and it's all about confidence courage and protection
there's a real power in tiger's eye like if you want to go that tiger's eye is like you know good
when you want to make bold decisions you want to sort of do things differently get some tiger's eye it's great for boosting confidence
great for self-esteem promoting courage like it's just like let's fucking do it and you've
adds to basket yeah exactly it's like you know the tiger is strong he's powerful and it's like
the tiger's eye like there's something about the name choice of this crystal that I love it's also very grounding a tiger's eye in my opinion the energy of tiger's eye is
it roots you because it gives you that confidence and that courage like that's a really rooting
energy so I really really recommend this one now here's a really cool ritual to do for Tiger's Eye.
It's one of my favourite things to recommend to people.
So especially those travelling that aren't in their homeland,
we can feel like sometimes a little bit like we're lacking routine
or like we miss home or even if you don't miss home,
you just feel like you don't know where home is.
Like is home here? Is it there?
Like maybe I have
more than one home or you could be living in your home in the UK or wherever you're listening to
and feeling disconnected from your home now this was a very wise Indian healer that told me this
so I'm passing this on which I'm really happy to do so she explained to me that when like the
western world we're born we obviously have the umbilical cord and we have like our belly button
and when our belly button you know the bit that kind of falls off after like how long is it yeah
a few days a week I don't know yeah I can't even remember now yeah like a week so when it falls off
you just kind of get rid of it don't you yeah whatever
so what they would do in India is they would bury that in the ground of your home
and then you're always rooted and it's beautiful isn't it yeah and obviously for us as westerners
it's all very clinical it kind of gets removed puts into like a clinical bin or I don't know like
some people probably have
it in their memory box but even that it's not like so the belief is that we as westerners are
not rooted to earth because we never had that connection with mother earth when we were born
because of the clinical process yeah it's really interesting so tiger's eye buried in a garden or
a green space connected to your homeland is like a really nice thing to do.
So I did it last year in my mum and dad's garden.
I buried some tiger's eye with, I think, where the dead cat is buried.
But I thought she would look after it, you know.
And yeah, like I had a whole ceremony and I knew I was going to go and do a lot of traveling and I wanted to feel rooted I didn't and wherever I am now I feel very rooted something changed
oh that's nice yeah so I just think that's really cool and really interesting and it really
resonated for me really connected when she said about it so yeah I think that's just something
that if anyone's feeling a little bit out of sorts
and a little bit lost, then bury some tiger's eye or whatever crystal you're drawn to
that feels right to be buried.
Or throw it in water, like in a river or sea, like if it wants to be water,
like see what comes up for you.
But put it into Mother Earth.
Yeah, that's nice. I love the idea. idea yeah and you could do that for the children
as well so what you could do so if people have got babies or you've got children and you think
i'd actually wish i wish i knew that i would have now done that for my babies yeah then make a
ceremony and get them to choose their crystal and get them to bury it in the garden and if you're in
dubai and you're in Dubai and
you're like do I bury in Dubai like absolutely like it's okay you just want to put it into the
earth and into the land yeah put the intention but like I felt like I wanted to do it in my mum
and dad's garden where I grew up that felt right for me um so yeah it's cool isn't it yeah it's
lovely it's really nice so they're my favourite ones. Which one's been
drawn to you the most? Probably Selenite. Tiger's Eye. Yeah. Selenite. Yeah. Nice. I think you need
to get yourself some Tiger's Eye. I know. I literally, well, I googled it as you were speaking
about it because I wanted to see what it looked like. And there literally is a shop that sells
it here, but as like, you you know like as a beaded bracelet
yeah beautiful yeah yeah which i wouldn't normally be drawn to wear something like that but i'm like
hon get me the tiger's eye yeah and also like even with bracelets you could put them as key
rings as well like the way you tie it on your keys because you're using your keys all the time
so there's a good idea yeah um so for people in Dubai motion trading is great for
stuff like this if you're wanting to in Elkers and in the UK there's lots of crystal shops and
a lot of people say to me oh I feel nervous to order it online um and I get that so there's a
website I think it's called psychic tree their crystals are really good there's one in the UK
called canny crystals canny crystal yeah he's he's quite expensive
though oh really that's where my sister got the moldavite from yeah yeah um so you I would always
go to a high street and I would go into the crystal shop and I would have a chat with the
person in the shop get a feel for them get a feel for the crystal I do like that physical experience and if you're wanting to go crystal shopping and you don't know of one ask your spirit angels and say hey guys could you
guide me to a crystal shop and I bet over the next couple of weeks you'll go on your adventures
and you will find a crystal shop yeah I'm sure but if you order online there's no issue with
that I order online and I trust that spirit have guided me to the right person to the right page to the right crystal
and the one that's chosen for me is meant for me so there's a real feeling of trust in that choice
so you should treat it's about to get a big order from me yeah i know there's so much good stuff
i know some great stuff on here yeah really good but yeah i think
and there are more crystal shops than you realize like you say because my dad obviously always loved
like the stones and things and um he would find some gorgeous shops that were in places that you
wouldn't even realize um but yeah i think you just have to do a little bit of research or like you
say ask ask and you
shall receive absolutely they're always giving us I've there was a crystal in that village
that I was at last week that tiny village there was a crystal shop as soon as I got off the
back of the man's truck and I got some opal and I was drawn to it and it says a gemstone of
superstition love and passion I thought I'm here for some love and passion on
my travels yeah it's like a symbol of hope and charisma this enchanting stone enhances the
emotional experience of love and I thought I love it because it's yellow it's not like the
typical rose quartz and it is it's it's bumpy and there's different colors of like brown on it it's
not like the most perfect stone and I thought that that bad boy is mine so yeah they even have they even have this place the
Palo Santo that you spoke about last week they did have everything in motion trading sage Palo
Santo crystals cards everything Sam you need to go there don't order online go I know I need to
actually go in there because then you could get some palo santo for the salon and bits like that okay yeah right I'll go in you should get some selenite on your front desk of
