Welcome back for a new episode of This Sacred Life.™ A soulful, sensual, and sacred podcast for women celebrating 12 years! This month I'm speaking with my good friend, Lori A. Andrus.

We started the conversation by discussing the oracle card I pulled to inform our conversation. Goddess Oracle Card - Sacred Rebels by Alana Fairchild What is already with you  You hold in your hand that which you seek. What you are seeking, perhaps by exploring far and wide, is actually right under your nose. Of course, there is unlimited creative potential and always something more that can be – yet in this instance, it is important for you to know that you already have what you need and what you want. Acknowledge that everything necessary for success is with you now. All you need to do is accept this and act with what you have available to you. Topics Covered Lori's sovereign summer on her new land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan Leaning into seasonal changes  The crystals we are working with right now The Sanctuary Circle   Want to learn how to connect with your favorite crystals?  Visit www.loriaandrus.com for a  FREE 7-day CRYSTAL IMMERSION JOURNEY.

As women, we’re conditioned to suppress ourselves in order to keep the peace. For many of us, this means we either compromise our own values to avoid standing out OR we sever ties with people completely. But what if there’s a way to honor the community you’re a part of AND walk in your own truth? What if we CAN create mutually beneficial relationships where we show up as ourselves? Lori Andrus is creator of The Crystal Shaman School, a platform that weaves the transformational practices of ceremony, shamanic journeying, divination and sacred creation to awaken individuals to their true inner brilliance. A practitioner of crystal shamanism and soulful traveler, Lori artfully blends ancient wisdom traditions with crystal insight, empowering heart-centered individuals to create vibrant, joy-filled and deeply rooted lives.

Listen in for insight into how self-sufficiency can turn dysfunctional and learn to set the intention for recognizing and receiving the support to you need to thrive. What You Will Learn How shamanism + energy medicine helped Lori recover her voice The distinction between performance and authentic expression How Lori honors her family’s beliefs AND walks in her own truth Creating mutually beneficial relationships despite disparate beliefs How to nourish yourself and contribute love to your community The dysfunction of our cultural value around self-sufficiency Why we need support to keep moving forward on our journey How to set the intention for recognizing and receiving support Connect with Lori Andrus Crystal Shaman School Connect with Emerald GreenForest Emerald’s Website Emerald on LinkedIn Emerald on Twitter Emerald on Instagram Email listeners@wickedlysmartwomen.com Apply to Wealthy Life by Design Leave Us A Message On Our listener line:   540-402-0043 x4343 Resources Caroline Myss

Have you ever lost a crystal favorite and wondered why it left, what the meaning of it leaving was, or if there is some message it was trying to share in its departure? Well, you're not alone. I think the most common question I receive is about just that: broken and lost crystals.  I recently received a message from one of our listeners, Sarah, about this. And I decided to bring it into an episode of the Crystal Shaman Life Podcast. Join me as I sink into this question and explore what the crystals maybe illuminating for us when they depart or break. Listen in.

Over the weekend we had some pretty intense storms roll through the area . . . the kind that had us hanging out in the basement as rain pounded, winds howled, tornado sirens echoed, and our phones chimed with weather notices. Yep, these storms were intense. It's been a long time since I've experienced storms such as this. They moved through leaving a trail of debris, damage, and power outages. Yesterday, as I walked through my neighborhood, my heart sank as I realized just how destructive this storm was, but I also saw something really special. I saw people coming together, working together toward a common goal (clean up). Everything was a bustle. A typically quiet Sunday morning was filled with lively activity. Neighbors leaning in and helping each other. Family members showing up for clean up. Spontaneous conversations. And so much more. Of course this energy of coming together towards a common goal is one that we are all familiar with. It happens a lot throughout life for many different reasons. But what I noticed yesterday, was people coming together to not only clean up, but to connect, to laugh, to cry, and to support each other. All too often we feel alone in our emotions, alone in our situation, and alone in our challenges. All too often, we assume others may not understand or fear that they may judge us or leave us even more alone. And, all too often we hide what we are feeling and we feel like we need to take care of it or fix our problems ourselves. But the reality is, the need to fix things ourselves is an old collective story, one that really is not serving our culture anymore. Perhaps you can recognize ways this old story is playing out in your life, for your family, or within your community. And perhaps you're recognizing that now is a time for us to come together, heart to heart. To be present. To listen. To hold space. To heal. To grow. To rise. Together. As I was present with the events of this weekend and how this old story is living in my own life, I couldn't help but notice how this was also the theme for the July crystal altar of the month. This beautiful combination of Kambaba Jasper, Moonstone, and Pyrite invites us to explore how we can soften, how we can welcome the support in moving towards our goals, dreams, and highest vision. In this week's Crystal Shaman Life podcast, I share the crystal messages from this altar. What the crystals had to say surprised me and touched me on a deep level.

Well . . . tomorrow is the last day of 2018.  I can hardly believe we are at the years end.  Since the solstice, I've been spending quite a bit of time in reflection . . . exploring the highs and lows of the year: dreams that were brought to completion, those that never really took form, and those who've come into thriving fullness.  Do you take time for this too? I find this to be a powerful way to fully receive the gifts of the year and create space for the next year.  This years reflection revealed some pretty cool insights.​ Like all good year end reflections, this one begins last year, at this time . . . hehe.  I remember meeting the new year with a sense of excitement. I had a list of personal and business goals neatly laid out, and I had carefully chosen a personal theme for the year: focus, fun, and freedom. Those three words opened up quite the journey​.   I had a lot of ideas about what freedom would mean for me . . . I imagined lots of travel, open air, and open roads. Of course those bits were definitely a part of my year, but I found myself quite surprised when spirit invited me to look at this word differently, to recognize that true freedom is something to be found within as I give myself permission to expand further into wholeness. Yep, that one felt so obvious and at the same time I was missing it.  2018 revealed how to experience freedom deep within. This awareness ultimately led me to close Journey Jewels, my jewelry line of eight years, and make a pivot in my work by opening the virtual doors to Crystal Shaman School. Phew . . . that was big, unexpected, and wild ride.  I came face to face with some tightly held beliefs and a lot of emotion. And I found myself leaning even further into sacred practices such as ceremony and shamanic journeying for clarity and support. It is through shamanic practice that I unraveled the ways I had bound myself to a particular way of being and created a true sense of freedom. As I look back at this year I feel deep gratitude for the many unexpected ways those three words rippled through my life . . . and I am truly curious as to what will unfold in 2019. In this final 2018 episode of Crystal Shaman Life podcast, I dive into the topic of how to bring the year to a sacred close and begin to create space for the magic of 2019.

It's been a bit since my last episode . . . I think it's been over a month. As I'm putting everything together this morning, I'm enjoying a beautiful snowfall out the window. There is just something magical about this white blanket upon the earth. As I watch it fall I want to just cozy up with a cup of tea, a blanket, and a good movie . . . or better yet, to take a bit of time to reconnect here! This has been a wonderfully busy time for me, but I've missed you. What's been happening in your world? Over here, Crystal Shaman School is in full swing. It opened with a ceremony in early November and since then I've been joyfully immersed in the magic that program . . . from connecting with the beautiful souls who've embarked on this journey to creating content, answering questions, and simply holding space for magic to unfold. Each day I find myself in complete delight of the divine perfection unfolding within it. And, now that it is finding its unique rhythm and I'm finding my creative flow within it, I will be returning to more regular podcast episodes, as well as messages here. Yay! I'm so excited about this. And hoping you are too ;-) This week I am kicking it off with an interview with my dear friend and colleague, Vanessa Sage as we talk tarot. I just love divination. And this time of the year, as we move into a more reflective season, I find myself bringing more connecting with the cards to discover what they have to say about the year to come. Vanessa has been working with the tarot since she was a child and I greatly admire the level of presence and understanding she brings to this sacred art. Tune in as she shares a glimpse into the tarot and the ways she brings this into her life.

How are you doing on this chilly fall day? I'm feeling all cozied up in my office. Candles burning. Incense filling the air. And an altar full of new crystals. Earlier this week I returned from a little road trip to Syracuse, NY where I was teaching Crystal Shaman Reiki classes . . . oh my goodness, so much fun! We had a blast. A whole weekend of being immersed in crystals, sacred work, and awakening gifts. Magical. ​I also worked in a little time for self-care, camping on the eastern shores of Lake Michigan at some new to me spots.  I'm finding it interesting how the more and more wholly I step into my sacred work, the more I feel called to a new level of self care . . . and how that self care looks differently than it did in the past.  Have you recognized this within yourself? It seems to be a theme showing up in conversations with both clients and colleagues. And, to be even more specific, it feels like this new level of self care involves slowing down and creating a whole new level of relationship Mother Earth. My little road trip offered a lot of solitude and time to be with my thoughts. So many insights came through and I'm excited to share them with you in this week's episode of the Crystal Shaman Life Podcast. Tune in as I share these insights about how we can create relationship with Mother Earth. You will find some stories from the road, a little wisdom from the Petoskey stone (I finally made it to that gorgeous Michigan state park . . . check out the piece in the picture above, doesn't it look like a turtle shell?), and even a bit of drumming.  Listen in here:    Wishing you a joy-filled weekend!

HAPPY FALL! (Tomorrow)  I hope you're finding some ease and joy as you step into this season that invites us to both harvest and let go.  It's a season of change. Often it inspires a desire to make a pivot in our life . . . a pivot that unfolds as we spend time in reflection and exploration of our spiritual nature.  This is a time when we begin to search for deeper meaning in our life experiences and often begin to wonder where those experiences are leading us to. Have you been feeling that? It's something that seems to show up for me, every year, about one to two weeks before the fall equinox. My soul begins to ask big questions and I begin to look for ways to connect the dots.  It is through the connecting of the dots that I began recognizing my spiritual calling and to find the ability to say yes to it.  This week, on Crystal Shaman Life Podcast, I'm diving into the topic of a shamanic calling and how to recognize it within yourself (or maybe even loved ones who are answering their calling).  Over the years I've come to recognize some key similarities and characteristics in individuals who have chosen to walk this sacred path.  Perhaps you've even had some experiences in life that left you wondering or maybe just hearing the word shaman lights you up with deep soul resonance and curiosity.  If you've been curious about what what it means to be called to shamanic path or if some of your life experiences are calling you toward shamanism, I invite you to listen in as I share 15 common signs that you may have a shamanic calling. Listen Now. P.S. Are you feeling called to explore the shamanic path? I would like to invite you to learn more about the upcoming Crystal Shaman School by downloading the 2018 Enrollment Guidebook.

We are nearing on the fall equinox . . . it's one week away (ok, and one day).  This is my favorite time of year.  I love the warm days and cooler evenings, the final burst of color, fruits, and veggies in the garden, and I love quiet evenings around the campfire.   There's something cozy about it. And generally speaking, it's a time of year when I just feel deeply centered and rooted in life.  The fall season invites us to do just that . . . to let go of what is complete, to harvest the gifts of the year, and to draw our energy back into our center by rooting into our life.  In this week's episode of Crystal Shaman Life podcast, Flowing into Fall, you will find some great suggestions for how to do just that. And, you will also find 6 great crystals for the fall season. P.S. Are you feeling called to explore the shamanic path?

Years ago, early in my study of shamanism, I received a session from shaman who is masterful at shamanic journeying. During the session, he took a journey on my behalf. When he returned, he looked at me with a big bright smile and said "the stone people stood up and started dancing for you!" His next sentence was 'Do you work with them?' At the time I was creating A LOT of jewelry. I felt like I really knew the crystals and stones well. And in many ways I felt like they were talking to me and guiding my work.  But, it never occurred to me that I could actually journey and connect with the stone people. That session opened the door to a whole new way of relating to the crystals and stones. I began taking shamanic journeys with my crystals and stones. Connecting. Receiving their wisdom and insight. Deepening our relationship. And eventually supporting others to connect with the crystals in this way too.  It's amazing to me how such a simple statement "the stone people are dancing" dramatically changed my life and my sacred work.  Earlier this year, as I fully committed to co-creating and offering Crystal Shaman School, I felt the stone people rise and dance. Together we have been creating a magical space to share the practices and wisdom they have been sharing over the years. Today, I extend an invitation to you to step into the next level of your relationship with the crystals and stones.  In this week's episode of Crystal Shaman Life Podcast, I dive into how you can connect with your crystals through shamanic journeying.  And, if you have been feeling called to explore the shamanic path, I would like to invite you to learn more about the upcoming Crystal Shaman School by downloading the 2018 Enrollment Guidebook. Find that here: https://loriaandrus.com/crystal-shaman-school-waitlist
