[Music]

well right now like the reason why I

came was because I wanted to get like

it's like a meditation hi kind of thing

so I bought a crystal of mine

crystal yeah what's it called selenite

yeah

selenite Selenites how do you spell that

a CL you an IT selenite gotcha

and that's like a mineral or a type of

crystal or something that's a type of

crystal um well I use it for meditating

but um it's pretty good for all your

energy centers all your chakras to help

you balance its main purpose is to help

you to connect to your divine power it

helps you connect to your divine power

like your angels your guardians whatever

you believe in okay there's quite a bit

of stuff we could talk about yeah do you

want to talk about shock works is

existing the divine power existing what

do you want um well I like talking about

meditating because it helps me like

recenter myself when I feel like I'm out

of balance okay so I came here just to

kind of like clear my mind I was at the

gym earlier and I was just like it's

cool it's a good way to like release

tension but I wanted to come out here in

nature open like I meditated this

morning as well for about half an hour

it's good but I'm not sure I I know

about these things I would like to

believe in these things if they're true

like the chakras and the divine power

well there's different there's different

crystals for different purposes for

example like amethyst is supposed to be

for like your psychic ability help you

connect to your intuition the things

that you it they're all protective

usually you don't allow people to touch

them because they pass their energy on

to it whether it's good or bad but

there's ways of cleansing them like

seasaw leaving them out to them to

charge by the moon or by the Sun so

let's talk about these crystals so these

crystals have some type of powers is

that what you're saying um well yeah it

depends on the person like for example

each person's born on a specific month

I'm born on February so I'm like my

crystals are supposed to be Emma --this

and it depends on your birthday

pretty much like what your main crystal

is but okay I just chose to bring this

on today I don't know why but that's

kind of wanted to bring it get a sense

of your confidence that this is real and

true like Santa scale from one to ten

that these crystals have powers of this

45 45 out of 100 so I know out of 100

then I would say 145 but yeah I truly

believe in like crystals oh it's like

man 210 very confident of course okay

and what would you say is like the main

reason why you believe this is true that

the crystals have these powers because

they belong to our earth and I mean

earth is all natural and we were born

into this earth so it's like these

crystals I mean they're all me

especially I mean they've been around

for such a long time far longer than we

have so okay so make sure I'm gonna make

sure I'm understanding they belong to

the earth yeah they came from the other

thing okay how does that relate to them

having special powers well it's just

these crystals just kind of like how

we're we all have our own nationality

and we all come from our own backgrounds

and we bring here our traditions like

earth and has its own like special

things that I mean for example just

touching it holding it this feels good I

guess

how could I know it has the powers it

has well I guess you would have to

believe in it right I'd have to believe

in it how could I know I'm not mistaken

about powers it's it's your intuition

it's my intuition yeah everyone has that

just like yeah you know like if there's

those moments where you go like oh man

maybe I shouldn't do something like that

and then you do it anyways and then you

see you're like man I should have done

that you know just by going off

intuition for this belief a reliable way

that's true yeah ever since I've had

these crystals I used to not believe in

my crystals and ever since I've had him

around me I just feel away like cleaner

I feel more free I just feel very I used

to be very like into myself

and how I look and oh I need the bestest

and the best that but like now I just

don't even care like so some of the main

benefits you get from this is like you

feel cleaner and you no longer like it's

more self-centered and stuff like that

is everything because I mean here in I

mean here everyone's so worried about

like who has the best car in the best

house and the bestest and the best that

but in reality it's we're all connected

we're all one but people choose not to

connect people's used to be different

you know and animals for example all

lions understand each other all monkeys

understanding so they're all alligators

understand each other and it's like here

people can can connect they have the

ability but sometimes I'd rather connect

to material things like hard shoes house

if you couldn't use intuition to come to

this belief would that change your

confidence at all about it if I couldn't

use my intuition yeah yeah for sure it

would change her confidence yeah because

I wouldn't be able to sense it I

wouldn't be able to feel it would your

confidence be like at zero now or if I

didn't have intuition yeah if you didn't

I wouldn't know

wouldn't know I probably be like one of

them okay

destructors so this intuition reason is

like the main reason why you believe

mm-hmm everyone's right no matter how

wrong you are because if you choose to

believe in yourself then there's some

kind of right to it everyone's right no

matter what yeah because for example I

mean when you when you're a child do you

want to explore you want to grow you you

don't see the things I adults see and

kids are so free they're so open they're

so like inviting to everything and they

want to explore and you know in bus

we're just so like we're so like focused

on material thing is there anything you

could learn or find out to love your

confidence about this to lower my

conference about it yeah something that

would lower yeah if they all broke it'll

crystals broke yeah what do you mean

like just broken half or something yeah

sometimes they'll break sometimes

they'll break when they

they say that when your crystal breaks

is because you're supposed to share with

other people that need it more than you

do so it's like if they were to all

break on me then I would say like yeah

what would lower your confidence that

they have special powers but they have

special powers that what would Lord I

don't I don't know is there anything I

don't know because before in the past I

used to not I didn't even care about

crystals I was so like oh they're like

whatever that's my friends things I

don't believe in that

it's all you but now it's like I can't I

can't be without them you can't be

without it yeah I was like my ring I'm

like okay because they give you you know

good things like feeling we're all

connected and stuff like that yeah they

give me a personal power like a sense of

empowerment a stance of empowerment

Thanks

if someone didn't have this crystal or

this belief in crystals what's like the

second best way to have empowerment

color what do you mean well because the

I mean you can cut you can get the same

thing from like like some colors the

colors that we see the colors that you

wear it it portrays like what kind of

energy you're trying to give out to for

the people that are looking at you're

saying if people didn't believe in

crystals having special powers they

could just have they could see colors

and get empowerment from that how does

that work well think about it when

people are happy they were brighter like

very like neon very like pink very

greens and when people are sad and

depressing what the darker colors are

Gray's the blacks of blues is it

possible for someone to win dark colors

and be happy it's boss the way out of

course nobody it's it's very intuitive

because when you pick your clothes you

sometimes just pick your shirt just to

where sometimes you pick it with a

purpose sometimes you style it in your

own way for a reason everything has a

purpose does this matter to you if it's

true yeah hey guides me I don't I don't

what do I say I don't I don't give it

power like it gives me power it gives

you power

it gives me power like a sense of

empowerment doesn't give you power just

because you believe it to be the case

mmm you could ask the Indians and they

tell you the same thing the Indians

yeah like Indians I mean any one native

like anyone that's truly connected to

the earth would tell you the same thing

if you were to find one if you would

find a crystal you would get the same

benefits as everything

oh no I'm saying is that like like for

example people connected to the earth

like Native Americans they would

probably tell you the same thing they

meditated with stones they play stones

have you ever been to the Rockman dollar

here maybe I don't I just came from the

hunt that's why but I'm people pretty

much what it is it's like it's a

collection of rocks made in a circle

into the center and what you do is you

well what I do is when I hike I find a

rock and then I walked over to the rock

Mandela and I do the whole trail so it's

kind of like as you walk in you think of

something that you want to let go of and

you keep meditating you chanted like for

example today I wanted to let go of any

distractions and so I kept chanting let

go of distractions until I got to the

center and then I did a quick meditation

in those in the center and then as I'm

walking out I'm inviting in what I want

to bring in which is growth and so I

kept chanting growth growth and more

growth as I'm walking out but you leave

the you leave the rock that you find in

your path wherever you feel is right and

then you walk out and I can tell you

that so many people have done it because

if you ever go there's a collection okay

and you're saying you would get all

these benefits from doing that but cause

it of these like these special powers

from these rocks and stuff well it's

just it's an earth thing like it's just

it's doing it with the purpose it's a

sense of empowerment to yourself and

today I wanted to let go of any

distractions and just bring in just

positive growth before myself is there

anything more than like a ritual or is

there anything Supernatural about it um

what do you mean by supernatural I guess

with like the special powers that the

thing well with the crystal like I'm

just what this is a cleansing crystal so

this is very it's just it's

give me just protection as I'm trying to

let go of a distraction and bringing

both because sometimes people don't not

people but things don't want you to grow

and you get these obstacles in life and

if you're able to overcome anything or

able to grow okay is there any way to

test this belief if it is out if it's

not entirely accurate well they call it

Reiki Reiki healing yeah

if you ever look into it it's a sense of

it's kind of like a meditation that a

person does on to you almost like

in-between like a meditation slash

hypnosis that they use a crystals on you

to cleanse auras for example if you're

ever having one of those days where it's

just things are just not going your way

like you could be doing everything how

you normally do but just for whatever

reason things aren't working out like

usually those are the times where and it

usually lasts for a long period of time

like either a day or two or a week or so

and you go to get Reiki healing to

cleanse your auras to fix anything that

might be good how does Reiki relate to

tests and whether or not because they

use they use these crystals to heal okay

so you're saying Reiki is a confirmation

of them being true mm-hmm I've done

Reiki alone without my crystals and then

I've done a Reiki with my crystals and

experience something completely

different

what would you have to learn to find out

to be a confirmation that they're not

true what would I have to know yeah what

would you love is there anything you

could learn to find out I I wouldn't I

wouldn't know how to do that

yeah gotcha all right well thanks Jake I

think I know where you're going from

yeah thanks so much for the fingers for

having me yeah living like nuclear day

how are you there
