- We're talking about three tips for shaking off
crystal critics and boosting your confidence.
So I'm Hibiscus Moon, founder,
of the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy.
And we teach and I certify people crystal healers
and teach all aspects of working with crystals.
So I do have a question for you today, please go ahead
and answer this in the comments below right now.
Do you feel that you are crystal confident?
Like I got this, I can talk to anybody about this.
Just say yes or no, yes or no.
I'm just interested, curious, that's all.
Now if you'd like to find out how to get
my free Sacred Space With Crystals eKit right now,
via Facebook Messenger, just type the word "sacred"
into the comments, just like that,
"sacred" into the comments and that will be delivered to you
just watch your Facebook Messenger,
there'll be a little bit of a delay there
and then you can figure out how to do that.
If you're watching this on YouTube or on my blog
or on YouTube then just to the description
under the YouTube video or directly to my blog.
It's right there in the blog how to get
that Sacred Space With Crystals eKit.
All right, so let's go ahead and start talking about
my three tips here today.
All right so do you ever feel like sometimes
you need to defend your passion for crystals
and just your general interest in crystal healing powers
against maybe people who try to belittle it
or there's a lot of skeptics around.
And recently, and you've probably have all seen this by now
there was a recent comedy skit that came out
and it went viral on Facebook and social media in general
with the metaphysical online community and beyond.
And it made me think about this topic again.
And it's about a woman walks into a crystal shop
and she's talking to the crystal shop owner.
And the shop owner's displaying
all the stereotypical behaviors and catchphrases
and quirks and the person who comes in is like,
oh my God, this is wacko.
If you haven't seen it yet, ask someone to send it to you
because I'm sure somebody you know has and watch it.
I personally think it's hysterical.
However, if you're sensitive about that sort of thing
or might take offense to it,
then it might not be your cup of tea.
But I think it was quite a laugh.
Because we need to be able to laugh at ourselves, right?
I mean some of that stuff, I mean this person
was way over the top with the metaphysical stuff
and you know very judgey of the person who came in. (laughs)
At the end rocks are getting thrown and it's pretty funny.
So but you know this sort of comedy can also
really feed the skeptics, like if you're a hardcore skeptic
you're like see that's what I'm talking about right there.
That's what you're into, you wacko.
And it adds more fuel to their fire.
And it kind of gives us that are into crystal healing
a bad rap overall as a group,
especially if you don't know how to see the humor in it,
and I do, and look past that, and then if needed,
if you don't know how to defend why you love crystals
along with how and why they work so well for many of us.
Because that's why we're all attracted to them
because we know inherently that they do work.
When you're able to defend it against people
who belittle stuff like that, or make fun of it,
you're better able to laugh at that, right,
and you feel more confident
about the whole thing in general.
So maybe it's chicken or the egg kind of thing
or maybe that's why I can laugh at it.
And then there are many who do not care
what others think at all, and that is wonderful,
that's it, end of story, doesn't affect them, at all.
I love that, but many of us are affected
by what others think of us.
And I've got a very good reason why that is,
it's actually hardwired into our brains, okay.
It's an instinctual thing.
I'll explain more in a bit on that.
We fear others, the bottom line is
that we fear others aren't going to take us seriously.
And that's a big fear and there's a good reason
for that fear, so you may or may not,
but you may be hearing things like:
What is all this crap?
How much money did you spend on all these rocks?
And none of this stuff works, when are you gonna learn?
Why are you so gullible?
Wow much have you spent on all these rocks?
Does any of that sound familiar
or do you have new ones that you've recently heard
that you'd like to share in the comments
because I like to hear this stuff.
It makes you question, or maybe I should ask a question,
does it make you question your crystal fascination?
Does it kind of shake your crystal confidence?
And if it does, I totally get it, because,
been there, heard it all, okay.
I've told this story but I'm gonna tell it really quick here
because it makes sense with this whole topic.
One time I went to the doctor's office
and the doc was using the stethoscope and probing around
and checking, looking for my heartbeat
and I forgot to take the rocks out of my bra,
I no longer do that anymore but I used to at the time.
I have rocks in my bra, I know I'm not alone here.
And I forgot to take them out.
And she had a complete and total poker face
while I told her that oh, those are my crystal companions
for the day's energies that I wanted to infuse
into my electromagnetic field.
And she was just, mm hm, you know, (laughs)
went on to the next thing, and did I sense negative judgment
or was that my perception totally, I don't know
but it triggered my ancient reptile brain.
Okay so here we're gonna take a quick detour.
Okay, so this is the limbic system in your brain.
Somebody stepped on my beautiful diagram here,
I don't know who did that, but because,
it's called the reptile brain, and we're talking about,
okay so this is your whole brain, obviously,
the green and the blue areas, the base part of your brain,
is the ancient reptile brain, and we call that because
this limbic system, it's just under the cerebrum,
it's about a lizard has for brain function.
Lizards, snakes, the reptile brain,
if you've ever had a reptile or worked with reptiles,
I did quite a bit, they're very simple, emotionless beings.
And the reptile brain, and the reason is,
is because what they have for a brain
is in charge of just six things.
We call them the six Fs.
Let's see if I can remember them.
Fight, flight, food or feeding, fear,
freezing up, and fornication.
You thought I was gonna say something else, didn't you?
So these are the basic things,
it's really root chakra stuff right,
basic things but the limbic system is much more powerful,
very powerful than we give it credit for.
Yeah it's basic stuff but it's supremely powerful
because it goes the furthest back.
It's the part of our brain that has
the most ancestral lineage going all the way back.
I even, so, all right, so back to the story with the doctor,
that was uncomfy for me at the time, yeah, even for me,
my reptile brain was alive and well.
And I'm not saying it's eradicated all together now,
but alive and well back then and as it is in most of us,
right, it's not a weird thing it's just there
and I even find it difficult to just explain
why I don't like to talk on a cell phone.
I don't like to come off as preachy to people.
If someone asks me, oh exactly why don't you like
talking on the cell phone, don't like to use it so much,
or have it around you all the time, or on you all the time
I will lay it down, I will get into all the nitty gritty
and the science and all of it.
But if no one's asking, I don't want to come off as preachy
even those sometimes I think I do
because I can't help myself, but I try not to do that.
Or people probably think I sit in my house
wearing a tinfoil hat most of the time.
Okay, we'll leave it at that. (laughs)
I try not to talk about this stuff unless I'm asked
or you're reading my blog and when I say this stuff
I mean the things that are considered fringe science.
And definitely crystal healing.
But if you asked about it, or you're reading my blog
that means you're hear for it,
you asked for it, you're gonna get it.
So it's so much easier to discuss our crystal passions
with someone who obviously is receptive
and wants to learn about it.
But when they're not receptive to it,
or you have a feeling that they're not receptive to it,
how do you explain yourself in those situations
is not our idea of a good time, because again,
it's hardwired into us, it's usually met with resistance
or a tinge of ridicule and that's perceived
as negative energy by our reptile brain.
If we're getting resistance from someone,
or we're being ridiculed or seen as someone
who, I don't know about that one,
maybe we need to kick them out of the tribe,
it's perceived as negative energy.
That's your reptile brain kicking in.
So realize it or not, we instinctively try
to avoid those situations at all costs.
So it's not weird and you're not considered,
like oh my gosh, you're so not awake, if you're thinking,
oh I have no confidence around this stuff.
It's gonna be that way, right?
So, tip number one, is to ignore your reptile brain.
All right, you probably already know
that something unconscious, something really unconscious
like, picking up a certain scent,
certain scents can aliven certain parts of your brain
it can spark an intense emotion.
And our conscious mind isn't aware
and doesn't process right away why that is.
That's our reptile brain taking over when that happens.
And as I just said, we have a primal-fear response
to anything that's perceived as disapproval.
A negative judgment being made on us.
It's ancient reptilian, hardwired auto response
to avoid that, and we want to avoid
getting kicked out of the tribe so to speak
or shunned by the clan, that's, you know again,
basic root chakra stuff coming up.
Yes we can learn to move past this and rise above it
but it takes consistent work.
All right and, so just as a side note,
I've found that once we get past the hardwired fear
and ancient auto response to not be negatively judged
and we can show the courage to just be who we are
and defend our stance, the real me is often welcomed
with open arms by people
you would never expect to welcome it.
So my advice is just own it.
Understand and realize it's reptile-brain stuff
and just own it, no one's really gonna kick you out
of any clan, I don't know, maybe you do belong
to some kind of clan like that, but most of us I think
in modern-day world really don't have to worry about that.
You'd be surprised how many people come out
of the woo-woo closet themselves when they know
it's safe to talk about crystals with you. (laughs)
You'd be so surprised.
I hade lots of experience with this
while I was still a science teacher
working in the public school system.
For those of you that don't know,
I used to be a science department chair for 13 years.
I have lots of experience with that.
You would think that those in the academic community
would be very closed off to this sort of thing
but when it was last-resort time on many situations,
many in that community came to me to ask
what crystal work they could do,
to remedy whatever their issue was,
whatever the problem was.
Okay, next I'm gonna give you two more effective tips
for shaking of the crystal critics
and boosting your confidence.
And I brought along my natural citrine point,
in this bright light it looks like it's clear
but it's actually a natural citrine point
to just give us all a little bit of confidence.
Beaming that energy out to you right now.
You can kind of see the gold tint to that
and the clarity's amazing, and look at the vales in there,
isn't that beauty, we'll do some Q&A at the end too.
And remember, if you didn't already share, please hit share,
share this out into your livestream,
if we get 100 shares of this livestream at least,
I'm going to choose three of you here live today
to send a copy of my book,
Crystal Grids How And Why They Work.
Okay, so, oh, and I left this here,
so I still get confused with all this stuff.
And if you'd like to find out how to get
my Sacred Space With Crystals eKit, right now,
via Facebook Messenger, just type the word "sacred"
and here we go, "sacred" into the comments,
and that will be delivered to you.
And if you're watching this on YouTube or on my blog,
click on the description box below the video
or go to my blog and it'll explain to you
exactly right there, you don't have to type anything
how to get it, okay, just the word "sacred"
into the comments, if you're on Facebook.
Okay, so, let me just take a drink of water,
we're gonna get to the other two tips.
All right, so, tip number two, did I just spit, I'm sorry,
is to find a solid community, all right, this is important.
Now some of you are loners and you're like,
I don't need no community, and that's fine.
But even for us loners, of which I am one,
once in a while it's nice to have that solid community
along with you, along for the ride.
We all wanna feel like we belong to the tribe, right,
we just discussed that, so no one likes feeling
like nobody's on their side, you feel a bit vulnerable.
So we'd like to feel strong and in control
and being in a group of other like-minded people
who are also nuts for the crystals can be so empowering
and supportive because they've all going
through the same stuff as you and you get to pool resources
and information and join forces with them
and collaborate on stuff.
We need each other because being part of a community
also gives us confidence and strength in our beliefs.
So, yeah this may also mean that you may need
to spend less time or remove yourself completely
from hanging out with people who are holding you back
and won't accept who you are.
All right so something to think about there.
So the value of having a community place is, I mean,
it's infinite value, it's immeasurable.
You get that built-in motivation, built-in inspiration,
and accountability partners when you need them.
Without that support system in place you're going it alone.
And it's hard to go it alone
even if you are a seasoned loner, 100% alone.
Just to let you know, in my certified crystal healer course,
in addition to your peers and the alumni, you also get
reliable mentors I've put in place to coach you through.
And that's totally absent when you go it alone.
Not to mention you can build fabulous, amazing
new friendships that spring up from a community like that.
It certainly doesn't have to be my course's group,
there are many out there, many others out there.
On Facebook alone there are real like,
face-to-face live groups you can join up.
But here's what to look for, don't just join any ole group.
Be mindful, don't join tons of groups
because then you're gonna be spread too thin
and you're really not gonna get the most
out of any of the groups that you're in.
So here's what to look for.
Try to find a group, either in person or online,
that has these three things going for them.
Because not all groups have them.
So number one, you want mentors who are supportive.
So if there's, well we'll just leave it at that.
Members who are supportive, I'm sure you know how
to figure out if they're supportive or not.
The group should offer motivation and inspiration.
And number three, hold positive vibe.
They see that as an important component
and they take it seriously, so zero tolerance for gossiping
and negativity and it's actively moderated.
Like somebody's in charge of that,
because if nobody's in charge of it,
it ain't gonna get done and it's not gonna be pretty.
So again it can be an in-person group that meets regularly
or even a virtual online one,
maybe you can make one up on your own,
there's lot of them out there already.
Finding a group like this does wonders for allowing you
to be you and encouraging you
to grow to your full potential.
And it builds crystal confidence
with working with your crystals just knowing you have
this like-minded, high vibe tribe, who has your back.
So, and of course, we make sure that my group
has all that and more in spades.
All right, so the third tip, the next one,
is to back it up with science.
All right, some of you might disagree with me on this
and that's totally okay, but I do have a healthy amount
of confidence around discussing what I do
when I'm directly asked
or it's just an unavoidable topic in a conversation.
And I know that's because I can explain the science
behind how and why the crystals work.
And it's not just for me, I've heard this over and over
and over again from our over 1,600 graduates now.
That this is where their confidence comes from.
So now, that being said, having science to back up
how crystals work isn't the end-all, be-all.
Science doesn't prove everything or anything
but that's another topic of debate we can get into.
But this is always, when something is scientifically proven
there's always some uncertainty that comes along
with our beloved scientific conclusions, right,
despite what some might think.
Science never, 100%, proves anything.
So no, not everything should need a scientific explanation.
Nor does everything have one, there's so many things
that don't have scientific explanations and yet they exist.
Crystal healing one of them.
But like it or not, in today's world,
in our society, science is king.
Scientific explanations hold mega value.
Being able to explain something scientifically
pulls a lot of weight, that's why people love to get
some science in with their metaphysics.
I know, I know, this is exactly why
my certified crystal healer course became so popular
right away because there were no other courses doing that
and so many people came in and it was like, oh my gosh,
science with the crystal healing,
this is exactly what I need.
Because again, being a former science teacher
and science department head, I can provide that in spades.
Science is the backbone of my course.
When it comes to explaining crystal healing to others,
especially if they're skeptics,
I think we just throw some science at it,
and that usually get them to sit up and listen.
It opens the door for a skeptic with respect,
a respectful door, okay.
So I can definitely help you
with tips number two and three, and I've seen number one,
which is ignore your reptile brain, come naturally,
as a result of providing the science
and solid community to my students in my course.
So not to say that you can't achieve those things
on your own without taking my course,
you most certainly can, come on.
All you have to do is just put your mind to it,
put your energy into it,
and put your energy towards that goal
and you're going to manifest it.
But if you do want my help, and you want me to help you
along on this path as your teacher,
registration for my course
will be open to the public very, very soon.
So if you're on the wait list,
you have limited access right now.
You've received an invite.
If you're thinking about it, get in now,
because tuition is going to be increasing,
because we have to do it, by $500 for our fall term.
So if you're thinking I'll wait for it down the line,
now is your time, registration's only going to be open
for a few days, so keep and eye out.
If you'd like to get on the wait list right now
and you're not on it, go to hibiscusmoonjoin.com,
go to hibiscusmoonjoin.com, and you will be able
to get on that wait list right now.
And just see a little preliminary info about the course.
So now remember, we're gonna do some stuff here.
I wanna give you one of my favorite quotes though
before we go there, just to think on all this stuff.
And this is a quote by Arthur Schopenhauer
and I hope I'm saying that correctly.
He's a German philosopher and he said all truth
passes through three stages:
One, first, it's ridiculed.
Two, second, it's violently opposed.
Three, third is accepted as being self-evident.
And isn't that true?
Isn't that how all new truths come to be, right?
All right, one more brilliant quote
from my favorite physicists, Nassim Haramein,
he said: "We are still in our infancy of exploring
and discovering our local environment.
There are people alive today who when they were young
were told the universe was many, many times smaller
than they're being told today.
Perhaps this progression will only accelerate
when we prove the universe we are in,
is only one of an infinite number of other universes
in the holo-fractile graphic multiverse."
He's so deep, I love that guy.
So, I find getting defensive and negative
as we tend to do because that's our reptile brain again,
it gets us nowhere, so let's forget that reaction.
Same with clamming up from lack of confidence.
It actually feeds the skeptics.
All right, so if we want people to hear us,
the music needs to be pleasing, right?
Otherwise they're gonna slam the door and leave.
But I also really secretly love it
when you can just smack them skeptics around
with some science, (laughs) I absolutely love it.
It's just a little thing you know,
and it kind of naturally happens, it's kind of funny,
but actually it's done respectfully always,
so you know, let's keep it there, let's keep it like that.
Okay everybody this was tons of fun, super fun,
thank you so much for joining me,
I had a lot, this was a great topic,
one of my favorite ones to talk about
because I like to boost you up with the confidence.
Here's a little bit more citrine energy
and crystal blessings to my crystal family members out there
and I'll to you all soon, bye-bye.
