It's what I discovered was one of the things I loved. I loved the peace and the serenity. I loved exploring every name. I found that if I went to one, it would be exactly the one I needed. I would just look at the way it looked and I would pick it up. I'm like, that's what I need right now. I need more courage. I need more. I need more manifestation. I need more clarity.
When I did take my trip to Egypt that we talked about, I learned that the native, what was native to where we were was the lupus lazuli, that blue, powerful stone. And I just became fascinated with it. So the more that I discovered, the more that crystals became a part of life.
My life, even in my son's pocket, I'll put a crystal if he's feeling worried or if he's feeling like, or if he needs a little grounding, I'll put a crystal in his pocket or I'll tell him, hold it, just because I do know there is something about the power of crystals. And that, in fact, is one of the most kind of secret parts of Key's soul care because the crystals are infused into the offerings.
And we have these beautiful offerings called the Illuminating Serum, which I just love because... We need to illuminate as much as possible. And they are really based on these crystals. So one's the moonstone aura. And that is so good manifestation. One is the bronzite aura. And that is all about courage. And one is the quartz, the golden quartz aura. And that is... So each one...
has these powers that even you should put on your body in your universe. And I just love that because there is such a, there is a strength, there is a power, there is a mysticism, there is a, there are these ancient rituals. Like our ancestors did these things hundreds and hundreds of years ago. And we've somehow sometimes lost touch with those rituals and those ancient ways.
And so I love discovering them. And they really give me a sense of like, I feel like I have something in my pocket that is going to help me. And I really, really love it. Or on my body.
And it illuminates you. So it also gives you that glow that's just really already within you.
I'm very moved by this because as we were just talking about kids and, you know, as a parent, you think about. We do take, we can, we have the power to take the trust from people when they feel like they can't trust themselves because we judge them on something that they've decided. And we do this as adults to each other. We do this as parents to kids. We do this as parents.
friends, you know, and we do this thing where we judge a person and now we've taken away a bit of their trust in themselves because they feel like, hmm, this person made fun of me when I did this. I won't do that. But your instinct was to do this and you loved it when you did it. You were happy, you were excited, you were giddy. And perhaps we allow
people to steal that from us, but many times we're not in a position of awareness. So we just find that we then distrust ourselves. And I think that's a big one because how can we start to trust ourselves again? How can we practice like, no, no, this is good for me. You might not like it. It's cool. You don't have to do it. I'm not telling you to do it. I'm telling you I'm doing it.
And I think that's really... important. And I hope that we can first be a little bit more conscious of always injecting our opinion on everybody as parents, as friends, as elders. And secondly, as the people who have to navigate our way through that, remembering that if that was our first instinct and we felt joy with it,
then there's something in there to learn or explore or find the color in or curiosity. And I want us to not forget that. That's a big one you just said.
Yeah, but that's probably not, so you might as well.
And the part that I love about what you said and the knowing, the affirmation on the illuminating serum is I give myself permission to glow. Because I just, so many times we just, or we stunt the growth or we stunt the glow or we feel embarrassed by the fact that we are, you know, bright and beautiful.
Or to your point about the addiction to the negative, like if we are feeling good, how many times have you felt good, but your friend wasn't feeling so good? So you kind of, they might say, well, how are you feeling? I'm all right, but you're really actually great. And you're actually glowing.
And I think sometimes we dim, you know, I know we dim our light, which is another affirmation on the candle is, you know, this idea of not dimming your light. Like don't dial it back, you know, because we do it. And it's only because we don't. We want to be kind to the people that we're around, but I think there's an inspiration that comes from giving yourself permission to glow.
There's the empowerment that a person looks at you and says, They look like, and I want to feel like that. Like I'm going to do more of that, you know, giving yourself that permission. I love that. It's a really special reminder.
When it's really, really crazy.
I definitely find that one of my go-tos is for sure a meditation. I just find that I try my best to meditate frequently so that I do find that that balances you. You don't have to kind of Fix what's happening. You find the continuity with the balance. But I do find that when I need it, I really relate to a meditation. It kind of just brings me back to the center.
It brings me back to, again, that quietness. I get a second of quiet. Even if I have to wake up before the kids, I'm going to wake up at 5.30 so I can have 20 minutes of just like... Or I'm going to make up at 5.45, whatever it is. And I really... find that settles my spirit. Because usually if I'm having a tough one, I'm not sleeping well either.
