Suffering from chronic pain myself, I found solace in meditation which eventually led to a breakthrough in my healing journey. In our latest episode, I share this personal experience with Amy Robertson, a fellow meditation practitioner, who echoes similar sentiments. Together, we unpick the power of meditation and mindfulness, underlining their distinctions and how even one minute of deep, conscious breathing can make a world of difference.  Our journey continues as we navigate the mystical world of crystals, gemstones, and rocks. Amy's insights into the unique qualities of these elements and how to harness their energies lead us to a conversation about animal spirit guides, an intriguing concept that promises profound messages. We also reflect on our personal experiences with these guides, who take various forms from the fierce wolf to the graceful dolphin. In the latter part of our discussion, we delve into the future and how to manifest success by following the energy of our hearts. Amy discusses how crystals can support those struggling with mental health issues, such as postpartum depression and PTSD. We also explore the power of mantras and their ability to disrupt negative loops in our minds and the universe. As we conclude, we touch on specific crystals that can assist with pain relief and the significance of journaling. We even find time to chat about our favorite protein-rich breakfasts, reminding us all to fuel our bodies as well as our minds. So, join us in this enlightening exploration into meditation, crystals, and spiritual growth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
