Crystal Confessions: 8 Steps to Owning Your Weird Holistic Habits

Your crystal collection is growing larger with each passing month, but you would give up smoothies before you'd display a single one in public. You're pretty sure your essential oil collection now outweighs your makeup stash, but aren't sure you want to be "that girl." It might be time to come clean and stop hiding your weird holistic habits... We love this hilarious advice from Heather Askinosie of Energy Muse. In 2000, Heather and her BFF, Timmi Jandro, co-founded Energy Muse, a conscious lifestyle brand that marries crystal healing and gorgeous jewelry to help create balance in everyday life. For more than two and a half decades she's been studying energy and healing, so she knows a thing or two about owning one's unconventional wellness habits. Here's Heather on how she came out of the crystal closet, plus eight steps she suggests to help yourself make peace with your own sage-burnin', crystal hoarding ways! Tag a friend who must read. It all started out like any other morning: I woke up, lit a sage stick and smudged the house. However, on this particular morning I used a pottery container and filled it with loose sage. Normally, when I fanned my hawk feathers over the crackling sage and walked around the house, the smoke would eventually burn out. That morning, the loose sage went ablaze and white smoke filled every crevice of empty space in each and every room. I ran through the house opening doors and windows as the fire alarms went off in unison. My neighbor saw smoke coming from the house and called the fire department. As the firefighters entered the house asking what the smell was, I kept saying, “It’s a false alarm. I was just sageing the house.” Of course, that lead to one fireman ask, “Why are you doing that?” I had to own it. “To purify and cleanse negative energy.” As the firefighters drove away, I explained what happened to the neighbors who were gathered in front of my house. That’s when I finally came out of the crystal closet and decided to embrace the real spiritual, mystical, truth seeker in me.
