If I reflect all the way back to my teenage years, there was this drive in me to explore my own sexuality, my own pleasure, and to feel sexually empowered. And then coming into my early twenties, I started coming across new teachings.
I attended different kind of workshops through my travels, kind of alternative ways of connecting to my body and ended up having a big awakening where I realized that the way I'd been pursuing my own sexual empowerment was actually quite disconnected from myself and my own body. And part of that was the discovering and the creation of products that actually supported that.
One of the reasons why when women switch from vibrators to a non vibrating pleasure wand, one of the reasons why that is such a significant experience for women is because when we slow down and actually start to presence them, it's like, there's actually a lot of information that wants to be felt and met before our body can, authentically open into deeper pleasure.
One of the first practices that I invite women into is called I think there's this notion in the spiritual healing community of, you know, feel it to heal it. We receive just, you know, endless stories from women who work with the wands for dearmoring purposes or just to start to experience slower self pleasure that's more connected to themselves.
One of my favorite stones to work with, particularly for a woman who is, like, in between relationships or perhaps even going through a breakup is, one of the other, like, stronger and really popular stones is Hey, everybody.

We are gonna have a great show, and this show is going to be really targeting women, but also is gonna be amazing for any male partners in their lives too because you're gonna learn a little bit more about how to really please the woman in your life. One of the things that we see so often is that women can hold emotions in their vagina and their cervix and their clitoris and all of their lovely, lovely, lovely erogenous zones. And with this, sometimes sex can be painful.
Sometimes we can dissociate. Sometimes things can be numb. And oftentimes, we are not told about this, and we're not told how to deal with these feelings and how to process through allowing our bodies to release these, allowing our bodies to actually experience the pleasure that we were born for. So this is why I invited Courtney to the show today. She's a sexual wellness entrepreneur, and she's a pioneer of the slow pleasure movement, which is amazing. Right?
Because one of the things I know I hear over and over and over again from women across the board is that it is too fast, that we need to slow down. So she's a pioneer of this movement, and she's also developed a ton of product lines, including the wands crystal pleasure wand. And I have one here today. She's gonna show off a bunch for us as well.
And gonna talk about how this is different than classic dildos or vibrators, and what it can actually help you do to bring more pleasure into your life. She has a ton of other cool products like the free bleed waterproof blankets, helping women to go through their menses without the use of uncomfortable and sometimes toxic pads and tampons, and so much more. So everybody, I am your host, doctor Diane, the founder of my libido doc, and I am thrilled you are here with me today, everybody.
And thank you, Courtney. I'm thrilled to have you as well. Thank you, and welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. Well, we're gonna talk about all these juicy topics I talked about today. But before we do that, I wanna hear a little bit about just you because this is such an interesting company you own. Right? You're making products and really supporting women in a in a in a kind of a different way than a lot of our, like, traditional sex toy companies are doing.
So how did you get involved in this super unique way of supporting females? Yeah. I think, you know, if I if I reflect all the way back to my teenage years, there was this drive in me to explore my own sexuality, my own pleasure, and to feel sexually empowered. And initially, that came with sort of images of what sexual empowerment looked like through the media and, you know, Samantha Jones, that kind of thing.
And so, you know, initially, it it looked like using vibrators, buying my girlfriends all of their first vibrators, really being like an advocate for my own right and other women's right to to pursuing their own pleasure. And that continued through my teenage years, you know, even embracing like more promiscuous behavior and feeling a rightness in that in myself. And then coming into my early twenties, I I started coming across new teachings.
I attended different kind of workshops through my travels, kind of alternative ways of connecting to my body, and ended up having a big awakening where I realized that the way I'd been kind of pursuing my own sexual empowerment was actually quite disconnected from myself and my own body. So then came in a deeper journey of really learning what it meant to feel myself, to honor myself, and then to experience my sexuality from that place.
And part of that was the discovering and the creation of products that actually supported that. So whereas vibrators and more conventional sex toys can be great, you know, I still use them from time to time. I found that that was more so, like, this high stimulation, almost like chasing a feeling type experience.
Whereas with the pleasure wands, the one that you held up a couple minutes ago and the other ones that we offer, it's really about inviting women to slow down and connect with more subtle sensations, connect with where they are emotionally in the moment, and meeting their body and their deep tissues in a much more intimate way. Yeah. It's it's so wonderful, and I really appreciate what you're saying around this, you know, level of disconnection with this part of ourselves.
What do you think is in and I you know, this is totally opinion. Right? Because there's so many different people we see in the world that can help us with, our sexual history. But with what you've seen in your work, what do you think some of the biggest things are that lead to a woman to be disconnected from her own body parts, this, her own female anatomy? Like, why does this even happen, and how does a woman even know if this is happening to her?
Yeah. I think a lot of it just stems from, like, our our lifestyle and society and the pace that we are living at. Like, there's just not enough slowing down, presencing, really meeting ourselves where we are in the moment. It's a lot of, like, operating from sort of the vision of of where we think we need to get to as opposed to starting from where we are and then actually listening to the intelligence of the body. Like, what is the body asking for? Where is the body guiding us?
There's a lot of to the yeah. Living from the the mental constructs and the patterns that we, you know, adapted and adopted to survive in given the conditions that we're all being brought up in. So I think, yeah, just basic, like, principles of how how we've adapted to live. The society that we're in is a starting point.
And then from there is is, like, we've internalized a lot of unhelpful ideas around sex, and I think that there's a very masculinized portrayal of female sexuality that also exists in the media where women, you know, were watching porn or were watching movies and we're expecting our our bodies to respond in a certain way based on being shown. And a lot of us aren't even provided the idea that maybe maybe that's actually not what our body wants. And that's not actually what brings pleasure.
That's not what fulfills us. And that's not to say high stimulation, like, high intensity experiences can't be fulfilling, but it's more so, like, where is that experience arising from? Is it coming from a pattern and something you've just internalized seeing in in the outside world, or is it arising from the true longing of the body?
Yeah. I think you bring up some really important points, I've, you know, I've noticed in my own life, like, around this, what we're talking about around, oh, there's just so much going on and, you know, it's so easy to deprioritize pleasure that one of the points I wanted to bring up is that this whole concept, right, I think it's like a it's an evolution of, like, changing and and relearning it over and over and over again.
So it's like, oh, finally figure out how to, like, slow down and be more present and balance stress, and then all of a sudden, life kicks us into our familial patterns, and all of a sudden, we might feel that disconnection. And so at least in my own experience, it's like this kind of this ebb and flow of like realizing, oh, I'm actually disconnected from my own body, and here's how to get back into it.
And for me, one of the biggest triggers I notice is if I'm disconnected from my own body and I'm, like, not feeling, you know, the pleasure, I'm not dropping into the sensations, some of that is just realizing my mind wanders more, some of it is realizing that I'm, like, snappier, some of it is just this feeling of, like, ending every day with this sense with this, statement of, I'm so exhausted, and that's, like, a big key if I start saying that a lot, right, to trigger me into saying, what?
You might not be fully in your body right now. So and I bring this up because then, you know, kind of the follow-up question for you is, like, how do women and and humans too. I mean, I think this applies to all humans. But how do how do we begin to realize, like, okay, we are more disconnected, and we are more disconnected to our our pleasure centers?
Because I think what can happen sometimes is we get into these habits and we get busy and we get overwhelmed, we start these new, like, paths, And then all of a sudden, it's like one month, a quarter, a year goes by, and we've been disconnected from our pleasure center this whole time and haven't even realized it. So have you seen anything that helps, like, helps people kinda just realize this? Like, wow. I'm disconnected. I'm not feeling. I'm not enjoying sensation. I'm not enjoying pleasure.
And, you know, maybe I'm, like, even completely, you know, numb in my genitals and in my anatomy. What what are, like, some of the key things that you have found to help women realize this, oh, yeah. I need to do some of these practices to actually come home to myself again. Yeah. I think, unfortunately, a lot of times, it it involves, like, symptoms getting to the point where women just can't help but start to look deeper.
It's like extreme burnout or lack of fulfillment in their sex life or vaginal pain, pelvic pain. In a lot of cases, is like a more extreme symptom that forces us to look deeper and have to explore something something else. You know, when it's a more subtle symptom, like maybe it's a lack of natural vaginal lubrication, like you're having trouble getting naturally lubricated even though you're only 25 years old. It's easy to, you know, to think, oh, maybe something's going like, dismiss it.
Like, maybe something's a little bit off with my hormones. Maybe I'm a little bit stressed. But it's like, as the symptom gets stronger and stronger, we we are faced with having to look at it and and really uncover the root. So, yeah, I think I think the the big in your face symptoms is certainly one of them, and then there's gonna be people who are are sensitive to a lack of fulfillment at earlier stages. Know?
For some people, they'll they'll really feel like, man, I'm not I'm not sexually fulfilled here, or I'm not I'm not nourished here with whatever's going on in my life to the extent that I know I can be, and and so then begins an investigation of that. Yeah. So and then my follow-up question of that is, okay. So somebody has gone through this. They realize that they are, like, disconnected.
And one of the places, and and really all places, we can store, I think, trauma and emotions and memory in all places. I think the pelvic floor is so interesting because in, chiropractic medicine, I'm not a chiropractor but I'm a naturopathic doctor and we're trained in some chiropractic medicine.
And in chiropractic medicine, there's this kind of saying of like as above, so below, so what's happening in the top of the spine and the top of the structure happens, like, really kind of, like, the opposite, like, like below in the pelvis. So if we're talking about a problem in this example that arises in the jaw, then you will see that a similar type of pattern actually arise in the sacrum and the pelvis area.
And this is like super interesting to me medically speaking when it comes to this concept of vaginal pain because so many people walk around grinding their teeth, locked jaw, like, you know, clenching TMJ, it's such a problem. And then whatever's going on in the jaw is one of many things that can actually translate down to the pelvis.
We wind up with our pelvic floor muscles tightening, we wind up with this, like the cervix and some of the muscles that are going into our vagina, that are going into our clitoris, all of these areas, they almost are, like, locked down just like the jaw can.
And I think this is one of the many reasons why people have things like pelvic pain and and, vaginal issues is because of that stress and everything you're talking about, and, like, literally, we carry that in our musculature and in our ligaments.
So one of the things that, you know, has always interested me about the wands is this idea of dearmoring, of actually allowing these muscles and these ligaments and these tendons that tend to not only get tight to make us be in pain, but also store memories, also store stress, also store all of these emotions. So can you talk to us a little bit about what you've seen?
Have you seen anything, like, specifically around the concept of, like, why like what does it look like for these areas to hold emotion, and what is the process of of dearmoring to help these muscles actually release, and what have you seen with that? Yeah. So when it comes to dearmoring, like, there can be this deeper exploration of, like, yeah, deeper massage, really, like, working with the the structure of the pelvis.
And Courtney, real fast before you go on, can you actually take a step back and explain to everybody what dearmoring means? Because I think everybody might not know that term. So would you mind starting there? Yeah. Thanks. Yeah. So dearmoring dearmoring comes from the notion that our tissue can armor itself as a way of basically protecting itself or holding emotion or information, unprocessed memories, that kind of thing.
And so we are particular particularly prone to developing armor in our erogenous zones. And so with dearmoring, it's about working usually hands on, more like deep physical, emotional, energetic meeting of the tissue to allow what is stored there to be released, to move, and so it's no longer being held there. It's no longer stagnant. It's no longer contributing to things like pain and numbness.
It's dearmoring is is newer in the sense like, you know, if you talk to most medical doctors, they're not going to they're not going to know what it is or even know to suggest it. Not a medical term. But, yeah, more and more women are waking up to it and developing a hands on relationship with their own tissue and discovering how much is actually held there and creating symptoms that medically are otherwise hard to explain. Yeah. I I love it.
I I look at I love to, you know, just try to find a scientific reason for everything. Not that there is one, but as much as possible, it really helps my brain get behind the understanding of this. So I I've looked at dearmoring as almost like when we do, like, a trigger point massage. Right? And one of the things that happens with trigger point massage is when we find these areas where there's maybe these these what am I blanking on my words?
But essentially where the the fascia and the the muscles kinda get tangled, almost like adhesions. Right? So when we get these places, say, in our quadriceps and our biceps, you know, some of these other areas, we the muscle will not function as well, and they hold a lot of stress. They hold a lot of trauma, but they basically are just uncomfortable. The muscle's not functioning.
And when we do, like, a trigger point massage, what we're doing is few different things, but one of the things we're doing is bringing the brain's awareness of this tissue and what's going on to help with the healing, and that's sort of how I've looked at the some of the the process of the armoring is, like, okay. What we're doing in a way is similar to any other muscle in our body in many ways.
Obviously, it's a little more sensitive, and it's a little more erotic and all these other juicy yummy things, but we're essentially allowing these, the muscle muscles and tissues to like, the neurological system to find themselves better and the muscles and tissues to, process better and to move better and to function better and and all those things just like any other muscle.
So so what is the process then as far as dearmoring, as far as getting these muscles to function and bringing the awareness back and all this sort of thing? What is the process that you've seen with, like, the wand, and I know you have some wands there too, that is different than somebody, say, just using a traditional vibrator for something like this?
Yeah. So a traditional vibrator or just high stimulation contact like that is generally not gonna create enough space to really presence whatever the information is that we're trying to contact. Like, one of the reasons why when women switch from vibrators to a non vibrating pleasure wand, one of the reasons why that is such a significant experience for women is because it no longer allows them to bypass a bunch of information that's there.
Like, with vibrators, we can just kind of drive ourselves with simulation towards that peak pleasure experience. Whereas when we're actually slowed down with, like, a pleasure wand contacting ourselves in the moment, it's like we're meeting much more of the information that's there, including Hey, everybody. Quick break at our episode to talk to you about our sponsor, MyLibidoDoc. One of the things that we truly believe is that great sex is available to everyone, but we just have to learn how.
So head over to our site to get your free copy of our e book, Five Steps to Mind Blowing Orgasms and Romance. Get the quick and easy tips to turn your sex life around, rev up your engines, and fall in deeper love and passion with yourself and your partner. So if you just go to mysexdoc.com, you will find that e book there for download. Now back to our show.
Boundaries including, you know, stored emotions, trauma, things that we may have experienced but kind of bypassed in the moment, in our past, and then when we slow down and actually start to presence them, it's like, wow. There's actually a lot of information that wants to be felt and met before our body can authentically open into deeper pleasure. And so In some ways, it's I'm sorry. Please continue. Go ahead.
And so, when, like, for women to begin the process of dearmoring, a lot of times, like, it it's not even about moving towards deeper massage right away. It's like, can you actually just slow down, like, place a hand on yourself, breathe, and meet what is here right now, and then we go deeper from there.
And then I'm curious what your process is, and I know, you know, like we talked about you have courses and all sorts of training materials for for people, but kind of big picture wise, I'm curious what your process is if, like, if a woman is interested in trying this because there can be so many, like you said, there can be so many emotions, right, and these areas, especially when we get into, you know, certain parts of our vagina, and for a lot of women,
their cervix, since we hold so many memories there, but also this is a part of the body that is not touched hardly at all. And so there can be so much, just stuff there. Right? You like you said, emotion stuff to process. And because of that, it can be a wild process sometimes of like, wow, why is this pain or why is this numb or why do I touch this place? And I immediately want to cry and like you said, like, get the information and what it's teaching us, which can be a wide variety of things.
So how do you find in your process of going slow, since I know that's part of your process, how do you find that women should start with this in a way that when things come up, it's going at a pace that their nervous system can handle and and and those kind of things? How do how like, walk us through kind of, like, the beginning part of of the pleasure practice. Yeah. Absolutely.
So in in my coursework and when I start to teach women how to go on this journey for themselves, we start really gently. Like, before there's even physical hands on touch, we are just simply bringing our awareness to our vagina to the to the pelvic bowl. One of the first practices that I invite women into is just called yoni gazing. So it's the practice of sitting in front of a mirror and meditatively gazing at their vulva and just being with what arises.
And a lot of times there's, you know, there's shame, there's all kinds of voices that come up just through that practice alone. And so, yeah, we start slowly just by, like, starting to presence our attention on the vagina and the pelvic bowl, and then really titrating. Like, we're it's not about going in and, like, cleaning up all of the unprocessed information all at once. It's like, hey, let's go in.
Let's meet a couple of layers, and then let's take a break and allow the body and the whole nervous system to restabilize. I think there's this notion in the spiritual healing community of, you know, feel it to heal it and people wanna feel it all the way through. And at the same time, if if your approach is always trying to feel more so that you can come to completion and heal, it's like you're always gonna find more to feel.
So I'm not a huge advocate of like digging deeper and deeper and deeper. More so like, let's go in, feel a couple of layers come out, stabilize, and then feel when that next natural wave comes of wanting to go deeper deeper again. Yeah. I couldn't really I kinda agree with you more there. That resonates with me so much because I have found sometimes that when we just kinda get in this process, right, of, like, pushing and pushing and pushing and that alone can be dissociative.
Like, there's so many things that when there's so many, like, parts of processing that when something comes up, allowing the nervous system to, like you said, stabilize. And to me, that's, like, almost coming back into that parasympathetic, that part that is restful, where it's healing, where the nervous system is sending out the signals of safety.
And if we're just pushing, pushing, pushing, pushing, essentially, I think what we're doing is we're just allowing that stimulative the sympathetic system to be moving so quickly, and that is, like, where we pop out of our body. Right? When it's, like, so much, the body can't stabilize, you know, using your words, and and we tend to dissociate more easily and that sort of thing.
So in this sort of practice then, have you seen, like, what have you seen as far as, like, healing occur with the wand? Like, have you seen things like pelvic pain completely disappear? Have you seen vaginal numbness disappear? Like, you know, what other amazing kind of things have you seen from the use of your wand?
Yeah. I've seen so much of that, like, just regularly, you know, women having profound experiences right from oftentimes, like, the very first experience of holding their wand and sort of realizing the journey they're about to go on. It's like, even that in itself is is a big wake up for a lot of women.
But, yeah, we receive just, you know, endless stories from women who work with the wands for dearmoring purposes or just to start to experience slower self pleasure that's more connected to themselves.
Pelvic pain, pussy pain, that's a huge one that we continuously receive testimonials of people healing and recovering completely from that, where through using Pleasure Ones and some of the practices that they teach, it's like such reconnection and, like, recognition of boundaries, desires, needs comes into place where the pain and the armoring that was there to sort of protect parts of themselves previously just gets to drop away and all new levels of pleasure and sensitivity can come online.
So, yeah, pelvic and vaginal pain, that's a major one that shifts and heals completely for a lot of women through this work.
But also just awakening new pleasure pathways, like, you know, internal vaginal orgasms, so like a g spot orgasm or a cervical orgasm, which may have felt completely out of reach for women, starts to become accessible or something that they just naturally find themselves experiencing after they have communed with our cervix more deeply and released the different layers of, like, numbness and pain there as well. And then I would also say just, like, more fulfilling intimacy.
It's, like, when you're more connected with yourself, you're aware of what your body's asking for, you're aware of what a yes and a no feels like on subtler and subtler levels, like, that's going to lead you into more fulfilling intimacy with another person as well. Yeah. And I can see all that. Right?
Like, with the shape of it, you have, like, the natural part that's gonna easily get to your g zone, but it's it's long enough, and because of the way it is shaped, you can get to so many different parts of our genitals and of our anatomy. So it relieves for the ability to be very, say, flexible and open with all the different tissue that it can actually touch and and improve upon.
And one of the things I wanted to touch on too today is in a lot of your wands, you're using different types of crystals. You're using different types of gemstones, and I think this is an important thing to talk about because you in the vibrator world, we talk about things like, okay, well, silicone tends to be a pretty safe toy from a standpoint of toxins. Right? So, you know, from a standpoint of standard vibrators, it's like, well, don't use the plastic.
We don't want all those toxins in the vagina or in the anus or wherever people are using their toys. So we see that oftentimes from a toxin perspective with some of your standard vibrators. But I think a less common thing that unless we look in like the jade egg world, which we've talked about on this podcast before, there's not the same level, feel like, of conversation of, hey, using different types of gemstones in our toys. And so your wands are very, you know, they're very unique that way.
So what is it about these different gemstones that also aids in healing responses? And why might, you know, women that are interested in this, why might a woman choose one particular gemstone to work with versus another? Can you tell us a little bit about that?
Yeah. So just as a starting point when it comes to using pleasure wands and tools that are made of crystal, you know, aside from the specific crystal properties of each, just using an object that is so beautiful and artfully designed, I think creates a a powerful shift to begin with, you know, as opposed to using, like, something that's made of silicone, maybe feels a bit more like clinical or medical in some way, using crystal or glass as well tends to feel quite artful and beautiful.
And that in itself sets the tone for engaging with ourselves in a more intentional way that's more self appreciative and and self honoring. But when it comes to the crystals, so I've got I've got a few here in the screen, it it really depends on sort of where the woman is at and what she's looking to shift in her physiology and in her emotional body. And so as a starting point, we always encourage women, like, just notice what you feel most drawn to.
If there's a certain stone that really seems to call to you or you find particularly beautiful, you can just trust that. However, based on kind of what you're working with and where you presently are, we can also make recommendations. One of my favorite stones to work with, particularly for a woman who is, like, in between relationships or perhaps even going through a breakup is clear quartz because of how it is so clearing of the energetic field.
Like, I've found when I work with clear quartz, there's a way that, like, foreign energies and and things that I feel like are kind of clouding my own field in some way just dissipate and there's an enhanced sense of feeling myself as separate from all of the other energies in my life. So for that reason, I might work with clear quartz. One of the other, like, stronger and really popular stones is black obsidian. It's known for being particularly grounding stones.
So I normally would not recommend black obsidian for a beginner unless you feel strongly cold because it is known for bringing more of, like, trauma and dense emotions and things to the surface to be processed. So normally, if you're just starting to dip your toes into this work, recommend with work recommend working with such a strong stone just because it can be quite intense. But there is no wrong stone to start with.
And the grounding energy of obsidian also can contribute with creating a feeling of safety in the body, and you're starting to work with some of this deeper information in your body. Rose quartz, super popular again. This is one of my favorite stones. I always return to it. I mean, women are often getting into this work because they wanna deepen them their connection with themselves, deepen self love, self acceptance, and that's what rose quartz is all about.
Some I would say that some more gentle stone and yeah. A lot of a lot of beginners start off with those quartz. And another one of my favorites is amethyst, actually. There's something with amethyst that's very, like, emotionally soothing, calming, and so for women that experience a lot of anxiety with, like, even coming into connection with their body or with sexual intimacy, this can be a beautiful stone to work with. In that regard, a lot of beginners start off with those.
I encourage women not to think too too much about the properties and really trust, like, what is your intuition on you towards? What do you feel most drawn to? And in my experience, like, I I obviously because I own the company, I have many many different wands and crystals at this point, and my experience is that I'll work a particular stone for some time, and and then I just feel complete with it, and I move on to something else that that calls me more. Yeah. So beautiful.
You know, I I really appreciate all forms of energy in medicine and and subtle energy, that we see in these stones, think, is more powerful than I think a lot of people give it credit for. I like, as you're talking, I'm reminded of a meditation, a visualization I did a while ago when I had broken up with a partner, and I was in the bathtub just kind of, like, doing this cleansing type of meditation.
Right, just try to release my energy from his, and all of a sudden I got this vision of this huge fire hose up into my yoni and like sucking out my life force. And so I did this whole, like, you know, thing with, like, pulling out this fire hose and releasing, etcetera, etcetera, and, you know, and that felt really good.
I have a girlfriend who had actually, when I was telling her this, had a similar type of experience, but for her, she was, like, also releasing a past lover, and there was, like, a hook. She said it was, like, this, like, ginormous hook that was energetically in her cervix. Obviously, we're talking, you know, energetic hooks here for our listeners and not real hooks or fire hoses, but, you know, the idea of this and then having that type of that frequency. Right?
Because I think this is what it is. It's like we leave that frequency, that imprint behind, and we see that, you know, these crystals have their unique properties, their unique frequencies, their unique subtle energies.
And so just, you know, thinking through that process, and this was, you know, before I knew about, you know, the crystal wands out there, but I can imagine how healing, you know, adding that layer to this type of, practice could be when we are oftentimes storing those memories that don't even have to be necessarily trauma and could be, but oftentimes could be just like kind of that past, that frequency, that memory, that's that's, that type of, say, energy that
we're really just trying to release from a previous partner so that we can be more free and more in our individuality to go into our next relationship. Yeah. Yeah. And one thing that I do wanna add because not everyone listening is going to believe in crystal properties and I Sure. For some people, it's it's not really within their kind of framework of the world. And so if that's you and you're listening, one thing to also know about the crystal wands is a lot of it comes down to intention.
So it's like, what is the intention that you're using the wand for? How do you wanna connect to yourself in the process? What are you working towards with it? And and when you're really connected to that intention, that also enhances the transformation. So, yeah, if if you look at a a certain crystal, you find it beautiful, and then you learn that its properties are, you know, enhancing self love, enhancing self acceptance.
It's like, maybe in addition to relying on the crystal properties themselves to do that work, it's like your intention gets to come into play and you get bring that into your practice. Yeah.
