In this episode of Practically Magick, hosts Courtney Pearl and Jamie Osborne explore the emotional and energetic landscape of stress, the power of synchronicities, and how spiritual tools like lepidolite can help us navigate life’s chaos. Recorded at Rising Moon Minerals in Riverton, Utah, this conversation is a heartfelt reminder that magic is everywhere—if we’re willing to notice it.

Tarot Pull: Stress and the Illusion of Control

The episode opens with a tarot pull from the Osho Zen Tarot deck, revealing the card Stress. The imagery—a clown juggling candles on a ball while a monkey prepares to pop it—perfectly captures the tension between playfulness and impending disaster.

“It’s supposed to be fun, but it’s clearly not. Everything is just about to go wrong.”

Courtney and Jamie reflect on how stress often stems from our desire for certainty and control. Whether it’s parenting, running a business, or managing relationships, we juggle responsibilities in hopes of keeping everything balanced. But as Jamie points out:

“The more we try to control, the worse we feel. If I don’t do it, who will?”

This leads to a powerful insight: stress is often counterproductive. The very thing we’re trying to achieve—peace, stability, control—is undermined by our efforts to force it.

The Healing Power of Perspective

Courtney shares that after hundreds of emotional processing sessions with clients, one theme consistently emerges: we often sabotage the very outcomes we seek.

“We spin our wheels trying to achieve something, but the way we go about it costs us that very thing.”

Jamie adds that gratitude can be a powerful antidote to stress. By shifting focus from what’s overwhelming to what’s meaningful, we reclaim our power.

“I’m grateful for the stress because it means I have the opportunity to own a business and connect with people.”

This reframing transforms stress from a burden into a signal—an invitation to realign with purpose and intention.

Synchronicities: The Language of the Universe

The episode transitions into a discussion on synchronicities, those meaningful coincidences that seem too perfect to be random. Courtney shares her belief that synchronicities are the language of universal energy, a way for the divine to communicate with us.

Jamie recounts a story about their friend Cambria, who was struggling with vertigo. Jamie felt called to gift her a piece of copper, a mineral known for its healing properties. She selected the piece intuitively and set it aside—only for Cambria to walk by the shop unexpectedly that same day.

“I was being super intentional. I didn’t want to forget. And then she just walked by. It was like, wow.”

The copper helped Cambria, and she now carries it with her regularly. This moment of alignment—between intention, intuition, and timing—illustrates how synchronicity supports healing.

Teaching Kids to Manifest

Courtney shares a playful experiment with her son, Otto, who was skeptical of her spiritual practices. She challenged him to manifest seeing a burnt orange car during a grocery run. Sure enough, they parked next to a Toyota 4Runner in that exact color.

Otto then tried manifesting a gold car, and within minutes, they spotted a rose gold vehicle. He clarified he meant yellow gold, and on the way home, they saw a bright yellow car at an intersection.

“Within one trip, we saw everything we asked for. I said, this is what I do. This is how it works.”

This experiment highlights the importance of specificity and belief in manifestation. When we engage with the universe intentionally, we begin to notice its responses.

Miracles in the Crystal Shop

Jamie shares another story from Rising Moon Minerals. A mother and daughter were shopping when the little girl asked for an Ethiopian opal, her birthstone. The mother said they couldn’t afford it that day.

Moments later, a $100 bill blew past the shop entrance. They stepped outside, looked around—no one was there. The mother picked it up and used it to buy the opal and a few other items.

“How do you explain that? A $100 bill floating by at the exact time they needed it.”

Whether you call it a miracle, synchronicity, or divine timing, these moments remind us that the universe responds to intention.

Signs from the Spirit World

Courtney shares how her family connects with deceased loved ones through symbols. After her grandfather passed, they began noticing dimes in unusual places. When her grandmother was dying, they asked her to leave dimes as a sign—and she did.

“We text each other when we find dimes. It’s our way of knowing she’s with us.”

They did the same with Courtney’s mother-in-law, asking her to leave pearls. Since her passing, pearls have shown up in unexpected places—like a swim instructor wearing a pearl necklace in the pool.

“It’s not just a little flower. It’s everywhere. It’s like she’s throwing it at us.”

These stories illustrate how symbols and synchronicities can bridge the gap between worlds, offering comfort and connection.

Crystal of the Week: Lepidolite

The episode wraps with a spotlight on Lepidolite, a purple crystal known for its calming and anxiety-reducing properties. Jamie explains that Lepidolite contains lithium, the same element used in anti-anxiety medications.

“I sleep with it on my chest. It helps soothe my worries and keep me grounded.”

Lepidolite comes in various forms, including mica layers and combinations with feldspar, smoky quartz, and pink tourmaline. It’s ideal for:

• Reducing anxiety
• Improving sleep
• Emotional regulation
• Spiritual grounding

Courtney adds that placing Lepidolite under your pillow can help with insomnia and stress-related sleep issues.

“No wonder the card stress came up. Lepidolite is the perfect crystal to support that.”
