Who do you think you are to be a Crystal Healer?
Does any of this sound familiar?
When it comes to working with crystal energy… does your inner voice sound a little somethin’ like this?
- “What will my family, friends, co-workers think of me?”
- “What if I’m just not that “gifted” with crystals or I’m not as effective as I *think* I am?”
- “Who do I think I am to be crystal “healer” or crystal energy worker — or have ANYTHING to do with crystals in a metaphysical way?”
- Or maybe you feel like you’re not “legit” or not good enough YET — or maybe it’s just all in your imagination.
- .. that others may find out that you’re just a big fat fraud and you’ll just end up making a fool of yourself!
I KNOW this is harsh stuff… but I’m just sharing what went through my mind in the beginning —
and I’ve since learned that this is very common self-sabotage chatter that we have a tendency to torture ourselves with.
I know (from experience) there may be an annoying voice in your head that tells you you’re not good enough… or some ballsy person has actually questioned you with some of this stuff!
First of all: YOU ARE NOT ALONE! As I said, stuff like this used to run through my mind and just about everyone else’s on this crystal healer path too.
We’re ALL vulnerable to overthinking it and self-doubt — especially if those around us make comments that do a really good job at eating away at our confidence.
It’s a known oh-so-common thing called the “imposter syndrome”. (There’s actually a study that found that 70% of the US population lives with this “I’m a fraud stuff” hacking at their dreams!)
Are you Waiting Until You’re 100% Perfect?
I’ve been educating about crystal energy since 2009 and certifying others as Crystal Practitioners since 2011 + over the years I’ve heard it all from our students and alumni:
“Yep, I graduated. I’ve got more than a few a certifications under my belt in a few different modalities. But my chakras aren’t all perfectly balanced yet. I still have issues to heal. Who am I to heal others?“
Are you waiting until you’re perfectly balanced and 100% “healed” before you feel you can start assisting others?
If you get one thing from this blog post; Please do not wait until you feel that you are perfectly ready—
- all your chakras are balanced
- you are perfectly healed
- you do everything wonderfully well
- you don’t make ANY mistakes ever
- you remember ALL the crystal correspondences for ALL the crystals (HA!)
- you’re in the heart center 100% of the time
- blah, blah, blah…
I can guarantee you this: It’s unattainable.
To be blunt: Get over it and get over yourself.
It’s only human to question yourself, but do it too much — and it really starts to eat away at your confidence.
Because, hey, guess what?
None of us are perfect and probably NEVER will be. I feel that’s why we’re here on Mama Earth having experiences, growing, evolving, and learning lessons. And being in balance is something that’s never complete. It’s something we all need to continually work on. That’s what Mama Earth School is for.
So, if we’re all planning on sitting around and waiting for all of us to become perfectly balanced, awakened, enlightened, or WHATEVER before we ever begin the very-much needed job of assisting and supporting others on their journey… well then — Shit…
we’re all in trouble. Right?
And let me tell you a little somethin’: All those gurus, healers, teachers out there pretending to be so above the rest of us, so evolved and never admitting to any vulnerabilities or faults… all smoke and mirrors, Babe. That’s all it is.
Are you the All-Mighty Crystal Healer?
Now, this is the ONE thing that is the BIGGEST obstacle that gets in the way because if you think that’s the way it works; that the crystal healer or energy worker is actually doing the healing… then yes, those are some HUGE shoes to fill and I would run the other way too.
You must understand that YOU will not be doing the actual healing or shifting of energy. Ego gets in the way and sabotages us here. Yes, I know this from my own experience!
Instead, what’s going on is that you are acting as a conduit for Source Energy to flow through and assist the client or heal-ee in healing themselves (whether in person or over a distance virtual session).
I mean this in the nicest way possible, but …you really need to get ova yourself.
One of the most important tenants of what I teach in my course is that YOU ARE NOT THE HEALER. You’re simply assisting and facilitating. How does letting go of that responsibility feel?
The crystal energy-work is also a two-way street… we’re giving and we’re receiving, and we need that healing, that flow, that rebalancing just as much as everybody else does. ♥ I know I sure do!
So, please:
- get out there
- share your gifts
- and help support others on their path — help them heal… or more accurately assist them in healing themselves. 🙂
Also, keep in mind, if you’re drawn to being a crystal practitioner of any sort, you also need to know that this is most likely something you volunteered to do; a sacred contract you agreed to fulfill in this lifetime… before you were even born! ♥
Your “pull” towards doing this sort of work is most likely your gentle reminder of your life’s purpose to better our planet + facilitate healing in others.
Feel into that. How does that feel in your heart?
Do you feel like you’ve just been reminded of or remembered something? Does it feel familiar or is it even triggering an “a-ha!” moment for you? If it is, pay close attention to that.
Are you ready to serve your life purpose, “keep your eyes on your own paper” and find out what you’re truly capable of? Affirm your intentions and please share with me in the comments below! The world needs your unique gifts and light.
Crystal Blessings!
P.S. As you’re probably aware… I’m the founder of the Hibiscus Moon Crystal Academy where I LOVE to empower our Certified Crystal Practitioner students with crystal-knowledge and a solid skillset, backed by science so they can effectively + confidentially share what they know with others.
If you’re interested in what we’re doing, I’m inviting you to check out my course. Or if you feel you may be ready for the next step, DM me with the word “CCP” on Instagram to see if it’s a good fit for you. (Pssst: we’ll be opening up registration very soon and this term is a very special one indeed!)
Thanks for this???? I’m already signed up and really looking forward to 3/16????
Me too, Kathy!
Wow! You nailed it!!! Thank you!!! Those words were what I needed to read. So yes, there is a “remembering” for me that has occurred. It’s like that saying, “when the student is ready, the teacher appears”! I am very excited about next Thursday’s online class!! Keep on sparkling!!!
Hello, wow! I did remember, I felt it in my soul. It was magical…Thank you for the confirmation that this is my true purpose. Fanilda
Excitedly awaiting for registration 2/24
This was A HUGE HELP. Sometimes my expectations of myself are just not realistic. This truly helps put me in a better frame of mind. I so enjoy EVERYTHING you offer. I’ve learned more in the last few months than I have in the last decade. Can’ thank you enough!! Stay safe and be blessed!
When I got to the end i had tears in my eyes. I know in my heart of hearts there is a bigger plan for us all, and I know I am in this body to help do great things with the help of Spirit for the greater good. I could see it in my minds eye as I was reading.
I am ready
You ALWAYS ROCK IT Hibiscus Moon ????!!
Thank you❤????
I started the CCP class last fall. I got stuck right in the middle on the Chakras and I haven’t been able to pick up since.
I loved the class and I cannot figure out what happened to me?!?!?
I have a really nice collection of crystals and I dearly love each and everyone of them. I am a middle school science teacher and I am designing an online summer school program on crystals!
I really want to be certified by the end of the school year! I can do this … I can do this!!!
You ABSOLUTELY have this!! I bet the kids will love your class too! And don’t beat yourself up for getting stuck or taking a break, sometimes the universe just tells you that you have to recharge yourself in some way. You’ll pick back up when you’re ready. Wishing you the very best!!
I’ve been studying crystals since around 2004. I didn’t understand why I felt such a connection to them, sure they are pretty and shiny but it was more then that. I knew nothing about their healing at first until I had a UTI and I was told to hold a piece of amber. The next morning I felt better and that’s when I really dig deep into it all. I haven’t been able to do your class but I’ve learned 3/4 of what I know from you. Thank you for always giving the best info
You are amazing HM!!! I am so thankful for this blog, I needed it right now more than ever. I am currently enrolled in your CCP course which I love and have learned so much. I have been in a slump with my studies for a few months, lacking self esteem and this blog just reminded me that being a crystal healer, helping people and Mama Earth is my destiny. I can do this, I will do this, fear and self doubt will not win!!! Thank you!!! Sending you love, light and crystal blessings!!! ????????????????????
I am on the waiting list and can barely wait. I feel like my whole life has been waiting for this moment. It’s not just that I like shiny objects, it’s going to give me so many foundations including the why, when, where. This won’t just be me with my head in a book trying to learn alone, but in a safe like minded community. So looking forward to this. Blessings, Susy
Sadly this doesn’t address a main reason some like me may feel unable to be healers, or do anything.. I’m afraid that not just that I’m not good enough, but that I’m bad and a burden and won’t be able to let energy flow because my negativity and yuckiness will be in the way.. And that I’ll be more harmful than helpful to people.. With whatever I do..
TY for this post. It took my dead son’s words thru a reading session with a medium to convince me I was on the right path with my work with crystals and helping others. Not sure why it took that long because it was crystals that saved my sanity when my son died. The year following his death was brutal, as you can imagine. My work, investigation, being drawn to and NEED to understand everything about the healing nature of crystals cannot be explained here in this little box.. suffice it to say I was consumed by it. It did save my sanity tho and and afterward I can see that now that I have helped many people by introducing them to the pwoer of the healing vibrations that working with crystals offer.
Thank you for reminding me of my passion for healing using crystals. Im looking forward to learning everything I can from you. Thank you again.
I recently had a Reiki Awakening (level 1) and want to incorporate crystal healing into my Reiki healing. Looking forward to learning more.
This is wonderful. Thank you.
I am looking forward to engaging with like minded individuals, who have more than curiosity about our gem family members. I have always loved crystals and things earthy. But so many other interests often compete for my time that it takes a back seat. My registering for this class is my validating my desire to do more than walk through this life experience safely, it’s about allowing myself to listen to my spirit and follow its message.
Energy work has been my top coping mechanism since I was a young teenager, but I have only recently awakened and started truly educating myself. Beginning the use of crystals have given my life sense and hope. Also, giving me a burst of determination, showing me a way to love myself, and a natural way to become more aware and overcome mental illness. I came across this blog a few weeks ago and all signs continuously point for me to take it. I just know I can’t let this opportunity pass me up, no matter the little excuses I can make in my head. Also, thank you so much for setting up your website the way you do, because EVERY moment I had a doubt of capability in myself, your blog was infused with reassurance. I am so excited to be involved with such a loving community and have the opportunity to grow and learn through this course!
I have had a keen interest in crystals for years but I had such a crisis of conscience that I not only couldn’t believe in myself or my abilities, I started wondering if crystals really do anything besides look pretty! I had to find my way back to confidence in myself and my calling. I’m hoping that after your course I’ll not only have rock-solid (haha) faith in crystals, I’ll be able to prove it to others! Thank you for this post acknowledging how hard it is to feel like “the real deal” especially when your calling is to the metaphysical. I’m grateful for your course and for the commitment you’ve made to helping others heal through crystals. Namaste.
Thank you ever so much for this, Hibiscus!(May I call you that?)
I only recently signed up for your newsletter, and I have yet to find an opening in your crystal academy, and wasn’t even sure if I should. Maybe I wasn’t good enough, I thought. This really has boosted my esteem.
I love your work, and am so happy for all the love you give everyone! You help people every day with these posts! Keep chuggin’ them out!!
