Close your eyes and imagine. What if the things in life that cause us the greatest pain, the things that bring us grief, are challenges, challenges designed to help us grow to ultimately become what we were always meant to be. We feel like we've been buried. But what if, like a seed. We've been planted, and having been planted, we grow to become a mighty tree. Now open your eyes. Open your eyes to this way of viewing life. Come with me as we explore your true, infinite, eternal nature. This is grief to growth, and I am your host. Brian Smith, Hey there. Welcome to grief, to growth.

Let's welcome to grief, to growth. Jamie Englert,

Unknown Speaker  2:06  
thank you so much for having me.

Brian Smith  2:07  
Yeah, it's really great to have you here. I like to start you said you had, I think, a spiritually transformed experience at a quartz mine. That sounds really interesting. So why don't we start there?

Jamie Inglett  2:17  
Yeah, so I've always been attracted and loved crystals. But as I got older, I kind of got distracted and just went on with life. And then in my early 20s, my parents helped me reconnect with my childhood love of crystal, and we went on this quartz mining vacation with my family, my husband and my son, and then my parents and my brother, and it was a beautiful experience. So we got to go into different quartz mines in the area. If you've not been to Mount Ida area in Arkansas, it's a beautiful experience. You can go into a quartz mine and you just kind of pay an entry fee, and then you can mine as many pieces as you want. And it's just such a fun experience to go in there. And when I walked in, everything was like glistening, and it really just started activating things within me. And I didn't really understand what's going on, but I was so drawn to it, and it was just the most transformative experience of my life. And it really kind of like changed the trajectory for me. Yeah,

Brian Smith  3:20  
so you said you had a love for crystals even when you were a child. Though, yeah,

Speaker 1  3:24  
I got my first gemstone set for my grandparents. They would go on different trips around the country and come back with, like, a rose quartz from South Dakota, or some like gold, and it was just really cool. Yeah, experience. I always liked to play. We had a creek in my backyard when I was growing up, and there were all kinds like fossils I could go back there and find. So it was always something that I really was drawn to,

Brian Smith  3:49  
yeah, well, for a lot of us, I mean, we look at crystals and they look pretty, but, yeah, something beyond that. So tell us what. Tell us scientifically, how crystals, how do they work? How do they help?

Speaker 1  4:01  
Yeah, so crystals have a perfect and repeating atomic structure that gives them a very steady vibration known as the dominant oscillatory rate. So when we're working with crystals, they are able to set an intention. We're able to set an intention with them, and they're able to retain that intention with their structure. Quartz is used in watches and different electronics for programming, for timekeeping. So when we work with them, by wearing them or putting in our pocket, we're able to tap into their energy and use them for healing and manifestation, growth and positive energy.

Brian Smith  4:41  
Yeah, well, I think we've all heard of quartz watches. Most of us don't really know what that means, but as I understand it, quartz resonates at a certain vibration, and by counting the number of cycles, we can keep time with it, if that thing is pretty close to the way it works. So crystals we can use, as you're saying, we can set it into. Mentioned, and the crystal can pick up on that,

Speaker 1  5:02  
yeah, and it kind of sends it out. So when I'm working with crystals, I'm very intentional about like the sourcing process, cleansing them to make sure that they don't have any remnants of other energy on them. So it's really important when you're working with crystals to make sure that they're from a good source, and they're cleansed and they're ready to use.

Brian Smith  5:25  
Okay? And what are, what are some sources of crystals? What would be a good source, and what's a not so good source?

Speaker 1  5:32  
Yeah, just, I always kind of recommend shopping with, like, a smaller business. Most smaller businesses they're really, like, invested into their pieces, rather than, like a large retailer, that they're not necessarily going to know where it came from or how it was sourced. Like, if everybody was compensated fairly, if they're working in proper conditions, all of those things. Like, there's a lot that goes into it. And like, when you walk into a store and you see something that's like, mislabeled, or that's like, not, in fact, what it says it is, those are kind of like a red flag as a consumer. So it just kind of, what I've noticed is smaller businesses have a better handle on sourcing better, and they're more invested in the pieces that they're offering.

Brian Smith  6:24  
So when I walk into crystal shops, to me, it's almost like, when I look at, like, vitamins, you know, there's all these different ones, yeah. And so how do I know which crystal is right? For me?

Speaker 1  6:37  
I feel like we're kind of, like, drawn to the ones that we need. And sometimes it can be overwhelming. When there's a lot of options, you're like, oh my gosh, there's so many. I always kind of go with like the first one, but you can use different methods, like you can use like a pendulum, or you can just go by color, because each color has a different meaning. So like, if you're wanting to attract more love in your life, you would pick a pink or a green crystal. And if you're wanting to feel more safe and grounded, you would go with like, a like a red, brown or black crystal. And those are more of like, grounding, safety, security for the Root Chakra. So those are a few different ways. You can pick which way, or you can just work with them because they're pretty any reason is great,

Brian Smith  7:18  
yeah? Well, I know because I said you walk into the shops, and you've got the little card there that says, Okay, this amethyst, and this is good for this, and this is, this is good. And they all sound good, right? We want all these things, so it's okay just to go by by color or by intuition,

Speaker 1  7:34  
yeah, for sure. Or if you know, you know, Amethyst is great for protection, intuition, the great option to go with.

Brian Smith  7:46  
And so how do we so I go to a shop and I get a crystal, and so then what do I do with it?

Speaker 1  7:53  
Yeah, so Well, when you get it home, I always like, want to cleanse the crystal first, and you can put it out for just a few minutes in the sunlight or moonlight or just even like water will work for most of them. Some of them will disintegrate in water. So water is like, not typically my go to but the easiest method, if you bring a crystal into your home and you want to cleanse it, you can use sound like you can use like a sample if you have one, or you can even just close your eyes and visualize, when you open them, a white bubble of light surrounding the stone, and then it will be cleansed. So it doesn't have to be complicated or hard. It can be really easy. And then once you've done that, then you just need to know what intention you have for that piece. So if it's like a rose quartz and I want and track more love, I would just sit with the crystal for a few minutes and think about what I'm wanting to do with this piece. I want to attract love. I want to send love out to the world and promote peace. I would just reflect on that for a few minutes, and then it's good to go, okay,

Brian Smith  8:54  
and then do I set it in my environment? Is it something that I do like every day, that I you know? Or how do I, how do I actually interact with it like an ongoing basis? Yeah,

Speaker 1  9:05  
so it's nice to keep it in your energy field, so like on your body, or close by you. If you want to put it on your desk, that's great, too. You don't have to do the cleansing and tension setting process every time you're working with the crystal. You might want to cleanse it. If you know, someone comes into your space and they're having a bad day and they're just kind of going off, you want to do a cleansing afterwards, because it'll kind of soak up that energy. So that's something I do recommend, but you don't have to, like, reset an intention every single day for it to manifest your intention.

Brian Smith  9:39  
Okay? And so that's a crystal, if I'm just buying a piece of crystal. But what about crystal jewelry? How does, how to how would I use that? Yeah,

Speaker 1  9:48  
so I would work with it the same way. When you bring it in, you're going to cleanse it, and you're going to set the intention with it. And then jewelry is actually my favorite form of crystal to work with, if you can put it on. Yourself, and then you've got that reminder, and you've got that energy in your field that you're able to feel it, and then you can play with it, you can look at it, and it will inspire you, and it's a beautiful way to work with crystals.

Brian Smith  10:17  
Yeah, it sounds like it's really interesting. So

Unknown Speaker  10:20  
convenient. Yeah,

Brian Smith  10:22  
are there crystals? I mean, I know they're formed in the earth and stuff, but it sounds like they have almost like, like a living type of thing, or they can understand our intentions and they can reflect it back to us. Any ideas on how that works?

Speaker 1  10:39  
Yeah, I feel like over time, since they do keep hold energy, they've picked up on all these vibrations and things going on through the earth. So, you know, some things are good and some things are not good, but they they hold something for us to learn from. And I think they're here to uplift us and help us heal and spread love and peace throughout the earth. They're just kind of, I feel like they're medicine from Mother Earth, if you will.

Brian Smith  11:06  
Yeah, well, yeah, there is, I think there is a lot of medicine in Mother Earth. Is not to bring that up, but we know that there's plant medicine. And it sounds like, from what I'm hearing, these crystals are kind of, you know, they're also that we can use in that sense. So what are as you, as people interact with you, and you've been talking about crystals, what are some of the misconceptions that you hear about crystals?

Speaker 1  11:27  
Yeah, sometimes stores will give out, like a certificate of authenticity, and if it's not from, like a regulatory agency like the GIA, is actually the best kind of, like, gemstone certificate you can get, but it's, it's not, like, I wouldn't say worthwhile, but it's not necessary. If you're just buying, like a tumble or, like a regular bracelet, you don't need the certificate. So it can kind of be a little bit of misconception for people to think that it's not real. If I don't get that certificate, it's not really necessary. I'm I would only sell authentic pieces like that. There's just not. There's costs that go into doing the certificate side. And it's just not. The price point is definitely going to add to that. And then just if a crystal seller doesn't know where crystal comes from, that's going to be like a red flag to not know the country of origin. And, okay, yeah, so

Brian Smith  12:29  
when people, if, I mean, I know there are crystal shops, and I guess, and I haven't been in many so please forgive my ignorance. But am I looking for a jewelry shop, or am I looking for a crystal shop? Or how do I go about finding a place to purchase crystal jewelry? Or crystals? Yeah,

Speaker 1  12:46  
you can probably like search online and see what is close to you. I think a lot of crystal shops are going to have jewelry, so I just kind of depends on whether you would prefer to have jewelry, if you'd rather have a tangible crystal. I think most crystal shops are going to have both, and then just kind of seeing what kind of seeing what's in your area. Of course, there's going to be a lot of stuff online. I go live on Instagram, and I teach and share our offerings. A lot of it, though, is teaching. And I've got, like, a lot of free resources on our website, so you don't have to make a purchase or invest any money in to learn about the pieces. So we've got a lot of it just out there on our website, and then I'll go live to, like, teach and like show how to work with the different pieces that we offer.

Brian Smith  13:29  
Now I know you obviously think crystals are really important, because you left a banking banking career to do this. So what inspired you to make that change? Yeah,

Speaker 1  13:38  
so I actually, I was still working in banking when I had my awakening. And then just over time, my desk grew to an office, and it was filled with crystals. And people would always ask me about that, but we actually went to a gem show in 2019 and then a few weeks later, I got my first piece of moldavite, and it, it was another spiritual awakening, and it just, it really set me on a different path. I've been kind of like manifesting a change. Like I wanted to have a job where I could work from home and still take care of my family the same way, and I didn't plan on leaving banking. But it just kind of organically shifted. And then one day, my husband's like, you should really start sharing your crystals online. And I was like, really. Like, I I never done social media or anything like that, so it was all like, super new to me, and I just started posting, and then people started engaging and interacting with me, and I was like, Oh my gosh, people like crystals too, and, like, it just grew into this community, and it's been such a powerful experience.

Brian Smith  14:36  
Yeah? So tell me about your your community, because I know you do some online and online things with them. Tell me about what you do.

Speaker 1  14:43  
Yeah, so I go live a few times a week, and I'll on Wednesday, I do this, like live where I kind of, like showcase things, and we just talk and, like, there's no, like, purchasing. We'll talk about the metaphysical properties, and I'll go over, like, the scientific aspects of everything too. So like, it's composed. List of this, and it's sourced from here, just different facts that you can learn about them, and then the metaphysical properties. And then it's really interactive. So our community is always chatting and like, it's become like a gathering of friends every time we go live. So it's every week, and then it's just a lot of fun. Yeah,

Brian Smith  15:21  
so I probably ask you to name your favorite crystal. Be like asking you to name your favorite child. But what? What crystals? If you top top five, top three, what are your what are the top ones that you are attracted to?

Speaker 1  15:35  
Yeah, moldavite has to be up there, just for how it's changed my life. Specifically, I love amethyst, Rose quart, all of the basic crystals. I also like wrote a press by Amar and Mars and my top favorite, okay, but I could list them all. They're all beautiful,

Brian Smith  15:52  
yeah. And so about pricing on crystals? I mean, if I spend a lot of money, am I getting a more powerful crystal, or a better, better crystal. Or how does that work? Not

Speaker 1  16:04  
necessarily. Price does become a factor when we're looking at rarity and quality, so it does play a factor. But I have seen things online that are very, very expensive price point, and they might be fake, they might be treated and not disclosed. So it doesn't always play into it, but the higher quality and more rare pieces are going to be more expensive, but you don't have to spend a lot to get a good piece. A larger Crystal. Crystal does have a larger energy field, but if getting a crystal into your life means grabbing a few tumbles, that's where you should start. That's a great start. That's, that was my start. Like, you don't need, like, a cathedral to change your life. You can get a rose quartz, tumble, Amethyst, tumble and start. Start right there.

Brian Smith  16:53  
So when you're talking about tumble, you talk about a small piece that would be something you could sit on your desk or something. And I know I've seen people with Amethyst that are, like, tall, yeah, so we don't necessarily need that to get the benefits of a crystal. No,

Speaker 1  17:09  
no, you just start with what you're drawn to. I feel like you're going to be drawn to a specific crystal for a reason, and just go with that. That's going to be exactly what you need.

Brian Smith  17:19  
Okay? And what is crystal creed.

Speaker 1  17:24  
Crystal creed is my book. I wrote that after working with crystals for 10 years and kind of going through this journey offline by myself. Now, today, we've got a lot of crystal resources available online, lots of communities, right? But back then, there wasn't a lot. So I wrote this book for myself back then, for my community, for people that are starting their journey and don't know where to start, it takes you through every single step, from how they're formed, the chakras, how to use them in meditation, and then also the crystal properties. Okay,

Brian Smith  17:59  
okay, so I know a lot of people were thinking about manifestation. We're thinking about setting intentions and things like that. So that's that's become, you know, language everybody's kind of gotten used to. How does crystals? How would crystals play into into that?

Speaker 1  18:19  
Yeah, crystals are the way I look at them. When you bring them into your energy field, they're going to help raise like your frequency, your energy, your vibration, and it's going to put you at a match for different experiences, different people, different things are going to be drawn to you because you're working with this new energy. And I've had nothing but beautiful experiences with working with crystal they used to suffer from like night terrors and just all of these things that everybody else probably goes through too. But crystals really, they bring protection, they bring good energy.

Brian Smith  18:59  
So I'm thinking about my living space because you mentioned night terrors. So do you have crystals in your bedroom for that, and different crystals in your office for different things? Or do you, I know you said you like the jewelry because you can carry that with you. So what are some other places that people might might put their crystals? Yeah,

Speaker 1  19:16  
I love to put black Tourmaline at the front door. That's a great way to cleanse and purify and also protect your space, putting in your entryway and like at your home entry point, putting protective crystals in your bedroom, if that's an issue that you have, filling it with things like amethyst, tourmaline. I have some what's called Blue Sheila. It's really soothing and calming. I've sat on my bedside. I haven't had night terrors for years and years like it's, it's been a long time since I started working with crystals. I've really just completely transformed everything about how my life was before.

Brian Smith  19:53  
Yeah, yeah. So we can, we can put them in various places for different different things. And do you cover some of that in your book? Or learn more about that in your community. Yeah,

Speaker 1  20:02  
yeah, absolutely, both places on my site, on Instagram, and then in the book, we have a chapter on feng shui, so you can, kind of like, map out where you want to put certain pieces to bring good energy, like putting different crystals in your dining room are going to help with digestion and just promote harmony as you're eating with your family and things like that.

Brian Smith  20:27  
Wow. Okay, so where can people find out more about you, about what you do? You mentioned your book. So where can we get your book?

Speaker 1  20:36  
You can get my book on my website, enchanting Earth com, you can get it on Amazon, Barnes and Nobles and Oh, books com,

Brian Smith  20:47  
okay, and, and you said you also have an Instagram, so that enchanting Earth also, yeah,

Speaker 1  20:55  
enchanting Earth CO on Instagram. I think Tiktok and Facebook too, okay, but Instagram is where our community or we go live. I don't do lives on the other platforms right now.

Brian Smith  21:07  
Okay, awesome. Is there anything that I should have asked you about crystals or about how to use them, or anything that you'd like to share with the audience?

Speaker 1  21:17  
I don't believe there's a right or wrong way to work with crystals. So if you're feeling drawn to a certain crystal for a certain reason, or you want to work with it in a certain way, and maybe that's not the way that I've said on my book or on my website, or you ask me a question that doesn't like resonate, just go with what feels right for you there. It should be fun and enjoyable experience, and they're truly magic in your life. So,

Unknown Speaker  21:43  
yeah,

Unknown Speaker  21:44  
just follow your intuition.

Brian Smith  21:46  
Yeah, well, you know, it's funny, it's it's really interesting. We're saying that because I'm I've been working on following my intuition more, and I've been advising my my clients to follow. So I think a lot of times we're like, Okay, what's the right like, it was saying to you earlier, what's the right thing for me? And when I get it, how do I work with it? And we want to, you know, I guess maybe over intellectualize, intellectualize it. So maybe we should just trust ourselves a little bit more and see which ones we're attracted to. Yeah,

Speaker 1  22:13  
even if it just because it looks cool, go with it. I think they all look cool. Yeah. They're all unique and beautiful. Yeah?

Brian Smith  22:21  
Well, Jamie, Thanks for Thanks for doing this today. It's really good to meet you and understand more about the crystal world and have integrate them into our lives. So I would say to anybody listening, if you have any questions, make sure you follow Jamie on Instagram and get the book and check out the website.

Speaker 1  22:39  
Yeah. Thank you so much for having me today.

Brian Smith  22:42  
All right, thanks for being here. Have a great day.

Unknown Speaker  22:45  
You too. Thank you. Applause.
