Episode Details

Are you intrigued by the magical world of crystals and curious to hear how we might be related? In this episode of the Breathe Love & Magic podcast, I’m speaking with Damla Aktekin, an intuitive, inner child energetic wound healer, astrologer, crystal healing teacher, and more.

Damla’s Journey into Healing

Curious about her journey, I asked Damla how she got involved with crystals and became an inner child energetic wound healer. Her story begins with serendipity and personal transformation. She didn’t have a natural inclination towards healing arts at all. Instead, she began her professional life as an engineer and business consultant.

However, in 2005, a series of stressful events led to chronic migraines, prompting her to seek out alternative healing methods. Her first encounter was with yoga, which she initially disliked but grew to love. This period, she calls, the beginning of her “body realization,” where she got connected to her own body.

Fast forward, after becoming a yoga teacher and studio manager, life had even more profound changes in store. The birth of her child in 2012 and an emergency C-section led her into a period of trauma and new explorations, introducing her to the healing powers of mantras and crystals.

The Crystal Connection

When I probed into Damla’s connection with crystals, her insights were nothing I had ever heard of before. Rather than subscribing to the idea that specific crystals serve specific purposes, she encourages a more intuitive and personal relationship with them.

She suggests that you ask, “How can I work with this crystal?” approach it with the idea of co-creating. It’s more about the relationship than just the transaction.

Crystals – More Than Just Rocks

Then, Damla mentioned how her daughter is her favorite crystal, emphasizing that the essence of her work goes beyond mere geological specimens. Crystals are not just tools but ancient ancestors and relatives in the vibrational realm. Each encounter with a crystal is a unique opportunity for self-discovery and self-love.

Damla went on to describe her approach to inner child healing, linking it to her work with crystals. Each energetic wound or trauma experienced in life forms layers that obscure your innate beauty and potential. Crystals, with their pure vibrational essence, help peel back these layers, allowing you to reconnect with those hidden parts of ourselves.

“Our bodies are crystalline, and within that crystalline structure lies the spark of every part of our existence,” Damla shared. “When you face trauma, those sparks don’t disappear; they’re just hidden beneath layers of hurt and gunk.
