SPEAKER_03 0:00

Welcome to the High Vibration Living Podcast. I'm your host, Chef Whitney Aronoff, health supportive chef, founder of Starsea Kitchen, and creator of nourishing food rooted in real ingredients, intuition, and intention. This podcast is a space where food, wellness, spirituality, and everyday living meet. We explore how what you eat, how you live, and what you believe all shape your energy, health, and overall sense of well-being. You have a physical body, a mental body, an emotional body, and a spiritual body. And all need to be recognized and nourished so you can feel balanced and truly thrive. Only you know what your body truly needs. Let this be your reminder that you already have the wisdom to tune in to your food, your self-care, and your spiritual practices and choose what supports you best. Through personal insights and conversations with experts across food, wellness, and spirituality, we'll explore how to nourish the physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic layers of who you are so you can feel your best and live with clarity, vitality, and purpose. Let's get started. Hi friends, and welcome back to the podcast. Today's guest is Andrea Wright, also known as Andrea Extraordinary. You may also know her from her earlier platform, The Crystal Situation, where she made crystals feel both accessible and deeply meaningful. I've had Andrea on the podcast before. She is my go-to source in better understanding crystals for the kitchen, crystals for different corners of the house. Really, how to use crystals as a tool. Take them beyond just this beautiful, playful accessory that we add into the house. Andrea has a really unique way of blending intuition, energy, and real life application, helping people understand how to actually work with these beautiful crystals, not just collect them. And in this episode, we're diving into her new online crystal course: how to use crystals as a tool for grounding, clarity, expansion, and how to start building your own relationship with these energetic allies in a way that feels personal and powerful. Understanding that these crystals are tools. No matter the size, the shape, the color, there is something to understand about them. And you'll also get to learn more about Andrea's incredible in-depth crystal collection. And I think it will be really supportive. There's always something to learn, and there's always a new way to expand. And you know, I think everybody loves rocks and crystals. So without further ado, we'll just dive right into it. Enjoy the episode.

SPEAKER_01 2:53

So this is the icosahedron because the the face is a triangle, and the Dodeca is a hexagon on the face.

SPEAKER_03 3:02

And tell me about the other crystals you've brought to our podcast episode today.

SPEAKER_01 3:06

To the part the crystal party. Well, behind me is the amethyst, citrine, apophyllite. Over here is citrine, rose quartz, and then my little quartz tower. Yes. But this is a Herkimer that I actually got here in Sedona before I lived in Sedona. I was at I was I buy retail people, believe it or not, I do buy retail. Um, and then of course, Icosa. And this is um, this is a point, and I can't remember where I got it. Someone told me once that they actually put little tiny labels on crystals so they could remember like where they got it, what they did, what what it was. And I was like, I'm not doing that. And then uh now we're like, I don't know, 10 years in, and I'm like, oh, I don't remember where that one came from.

SPEAKER_03 4:13

He was really into rocks and crystals, and I kept being told, oh, when we find his rocks and crystals, we'll give them to you. And oh, you can have his rock tumbler when we find it in the garage. I never got the rock tumbler or the polishing equipment, but I did finally get the crystals, and it wasn't until like, God, I think I was in my 40s, and my mom like walked in. She's like, I found, I found all the crystals. He had all these opals and all, I mean, endless amounts of turquoise that he found in the Arizona desert just on hikes. I mean, like he was a real rock and crystal lover and collector, but nothing was labeled. So I have all this stuff, I don't even know what it is. So to make a chart of everything you do own and what it is, and and the purpose, you know, maybe like a little insight as to why you have the stone, that's a valuable spreadsheet.

SPEAKER_01 5:09

Complete well, so look, I do have a spreadsheet because of inventory. And our friend Kat helped me with the spreadsheet. And um there's like 12,000 entries in there. It's no, it's psychotic. Like, but that's not my personal piece, not necessarily my personal pieces in the in that spreadsheet. But yeah, my uncle passed away really unexpectedly a few years ago, and he was his a historian and a collector. So, like when I say that my parents came across basically a three-floor townhouse of civil war, if anybody out there uh, by the way, wants like 25 saddles and like different kinds of saddles, I mean, and it's it's a beast because he didn't have anything really cataloged necessarily, or so I came back from that and I'm like, okay, in case anything happens, uh this is appetite. This is what I spent, this is but but I don't have it for the personal stuff. But the personal stuff's also like I mean, some of it's valuable, some of it's not. And I just I I I believe this about anything that we own. It's it's what we pour into it that makes it valuable. It's we decide is value in many ways. It's kind of the fun part about like when you watch Antiques Roads at Roadhouse or Roadshow or whatever that is, like, you know, they walk in there with some, you know, brass doorknob knocker, and they're like, Yeah, that's worth five dollars, or oh my god, you can retire. It's it's it's treasure hunting, you know.

SPEAKER_03 6:48

It is, but we're doing it with with natural resources, and that's what's so interesting. And um, it can take a long time to find the right crystal. And I brought with me today my malachite. Because I got my malachite from you in Sedona. I want to say, was it 2020, 2021, 2019? I think it was 2022. 2022, I was way off. Um but I got this from you, but I had been looking for malachite since 2010. And when I went to South Africa, where malachite's from, I was on a mission on that trip to find a nice big piece of malachite. I could, I only saw malachite being sold two places. They were really tiny little pieces, um, like a little larger than a quarter. I didn't see anything I liked, and I was so bummed because I like to buy crystals when I travel. I like to buy crystals from their place of origin. And it's so hard to find crystals when you travel. It's very bizarre. It's like it's not available, they're not available retail in other countries. So um you can have an idea of what you want, but it like sometimes won't appear right away.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Yeah, totally. And that's also why I mean, I think that's is that kind of common though, just in trade? Like whatever is natural and native to the the land, they just ship out, they export most of it.

SPEAKER_03 8:25

And that is completely accurate. Let's let's consider fish in California. So everyone thinks when you live in California, oh my god, you must eat so much fish. But most of our fish is shipped to China and Japan. Like we get the leftovers.

SPEAKER_00 8:40

Really?

SPEAKER_03 8:41

And that's that's the case with a lot of produce and uh food and you know ingredients all over the world. Um people that where it's grown, it's it often leaves. Um, it's already pre-sold.

SPEAKER_01 8:57

When I I remember when I was a kid, we'd go to Florida and we were, I don't know, my sister like, wow, orange juice will be so cheap here. I don't know why we're even thinking about like economy with orange juice. And my parents were like, no, it's gonna be more expensive because of Florida. And I was like, I don't know. I mean, I think obviously the cost of living in different states varies and what have you. But I remember when we went to Scotland though, we were in Oban, which is a port city, and we had a couple hours, and our our tour guide was like, if you go get some fish and chips, because you will not have fresher fish. And that is true. Like the Oban fish markets, like the fish and chips they have with the little, you know, counters alongside the dock. Yeah, I do recommend that.

SPEAKER_03 9:45

That's good to know. I appreciate that.

SPEAKER_01 9:47

Um you have to go to Scotland though, so it's tough.

SPEAKER_03 9:52

It's all right. Some of the best fish I've had um has been in Dublin and Ireland, and then down in South Africa. Um I believe it, yeah. And uh it's you know, from the places where they catch their fish and they serve it to, you know, their their locals and their tourists. So those places still exist, just not as much around here.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Yeah. I mean, I love it. I love in Arizona when like you go to a restaurant and it's like catch of the day and it's like catch of yesterday.

SPEAKER_03 10:20

Good call. Um, absolutely. Well, to remind people who are tuning in today, uh, I've had Andrea on the podcast before to talk about crystals, and I'm having you back to talk about crystals because you are my crystal expert. You are my source. Um, and it's not just because you have a catalog of what? Like 1,200 crystals. 12,000. 12,000. And you go to the Tucson Gems show, um, and you, you know, obviously are a seller of crystals, but it's because you're a lifelong, you know, spiritual student. You're not just buying crystals from you, you're getting the whole package. So you're getting to understand where the crystal comes from, the purpose of the crystal, potentially the spot to put it in your house, how to use it, like using it as a tool. Um, and then you're getting just added spiritual wisdom from all your studies of different walks of life in different parts of the world. So um, I think that's a little bit about what we're talking about today and some of the projects that you're launching.

SPEAKER_01 11:27

Yeah, so I got to a point where I was hearing from so many people, like, oh, I know so-and-so's sister is really into crystals, doesn't know anything about them though, or they'd be like, you know, even people who have crystals, like, how don't we kind of forget why they're here or what, you know, aside from the fact that maybe we were in South Africa and we're like, oh, I just really want a crystal from this part of the country, you know, it and even for myself personally, it's almost like I'm at a point where I kind of want to organize everything that I've learned because I've just been thinking too about how much consumption of content we're all under right now, and how a lot of us are kind of at capacity and this sort of trajectory that we're all taking right now, and the scrolling and the the seven seconds of attention span that we all have. And it's it's it's getting to be a lot, right? And I'm kind of like, well, what am I what am I even filling my head up with these days? And it's really me taking a moment, I think, of like, well, what have I learned from all of this? I've been doing this for all like 10 years about so, you know, what is the point of me reading all these books and making these connections and just like then walking my dog and thinking about these connections that I've just made? And I'm like, well, maybe it's time to talk about it. And like I said, even organize it for myself because it's like, well, what is the point? Like, what is the point of amassing all of this stuff and reading all these books? And sure, I'm following my curiosity. Like, my brain is constantly asking why. It's like, well, then what does that mean? And well, then what does that mean? And it's cool, it's like you go down these little rabbit holes, and and then, and then what though? And I mean, I've had many teachers and oracles instruct me based on my astrological chart that I am meant to teach, and I'm always like, ho, ho, ho, no, no, that's uh who who wants who? Yeah, nobody wants that. And eventually you're just sort of like, well, maybe, maybe some people do want that. Let's give it a shot. Let's it's funny too, because like back when I was in the film industry, I worked, I worked as an actor and I was on a lot of sets, I worked in a lot of production, and I was working with an Oscar winner and lovely person. I don't know if I should say who it is. I don't think I will. I don't know. Is it I well, I'll tell the story first.

SPEAKER_03 14:00

I'm gonna say who it is. It's not gonna hurt them. They're just gonna realize that they know a crystal dealer and it's gonna benefit everyone. A quick pause to share something I truly use and love. I'm Chef Whitney Aronaff, and as a personal chef, I began sharing my Starseed Kitchen organic spice blends with private clients when I couldn't find high-quality seasonings that met my standards for their meal prep.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

We're so we're we're I was at a point where I was still like, I was still pursuing acting. I was still like in it. This was 2019, it was before the pandemic. I was still living in LA. And I, you know, we all had these like ideas and plans of what life was going to be, and then we were like, oh, those ideas and plans are not going to be. And I remember chatting with this person, and I was like, Do you teach? Like, would you ever teach, like a masterclass? And I'm not kidding. She was like, Could I? And she's looking at me like straight in the face. Like, I don't know her. Like, we've only met and like chatted a couple times, and I'm yes, I'm working on this project. And she's like, I don't know. Like, what, what, how can I, what would I teach? And I'm like, I don't know, you're the one who won an Oscar. Like, I think maybe you could teach. And I always think of that moment when whenever any of us are sort of not so much confronted, but it's it's it's suggested or asked, like, hey, do you teach? Hey, would you write a book? Hey, would you do this thing? And we all have that sort of sense of imposter syndrome, like, oh, I'm not ready, oh, I don't know enough, I'm not informed enough. Even when you say expert, I'm like, oh, no, I'm not an expert though. I'm a specialist. Um, you know, there's just that usual, I think, cringe where we're all kind of like, no, no, no, no, I can't take a leadership position on that. And it's always when it's when it's somebody else, you're sort of like, what's the problem? Like, why wouldn't you do that? And like the amount of resistance we all meet when it comes time to like take on something creative or try something new. So this has all been kind of swirling around for me in the last few months as I've been contemplating like what would I teach? I mean, I teach Kundalini yoga once a week in Sedona, and that's that's fine, that's that's nice, you know. Um, but then even in our then the Kundalini Yoga tradition, uh something that we we learned in the teacher training is if you want to learn something, read about it. If you want to understand something, write about it. If you want to master something, teach it. And I don't know that there's anything to master about a crystal living, like having crystals in your life or working with them. I don't know that there's like a mastery level of that. I think it's just a lot of experience. And something that also I've been contemplating is from the gene keys. I've been studying the gene keys for a few years, and something Richard Rudd says about mastery is it's very quaint. He he says that the mastery of a life well lived. Like let that be your mastery. So whatever, whatever you're doing, whatever's interesting to you, whatever hobby you're taking on, like can you pursue it with a sense of excellence? Can you take it past like dabbling or even not so much gaslighting yourself, but like trying to tell yourself that it's not important or it doesn't matter. It's like, but what if, even if it doesn't matter, what if you went at it with mastery and excellence and precision? And that's how I'm sort of looking at what I'm gonna teach, even it's like, well, what what is there to teach? There's actually a lot, but mostly it's also just from my own experience. Like, okay, if you want to understand what what crystals can do in your life and how they exist even scientifically or physiologically, if you guys just want to hang out once a week with me for like an hour and a half on Zoom and we'll geek out, and I'll tell you about the platonic solids. Like, like, yeah, man, let's let's geek out. Like, I'll do that. I'll I'll set up a Zoom. Like, let's go.

SPEAKER_03 19:24

So in 2022. 2022, yeah, yeah, yeah. 2022, when I was at Sita's retreat with you, yeah, you taught us a class for I want to say like an hour and a half. Oh, that's fine. Yes. Oh, I remember about crystals and about um just like the basics to feng shui in the home and moving energy to support you among crystals. And literally, uh watching that, I was like, that's a podcast episode. I need to have this woman on my podcast. This is an online course. I need to take whatever online courses um she's gonna offer. Uh, you're a great teacher. Um that's why, you know, the last podcast episode we did, uh it's a two-parter, you know? Yeah, it's great because you're full of so much great information. Um, crystals are just the base. You know, it's like nutrition of food. Um, it's like, you know, building the physical body. It's just the foundation, and then all the branches kind of go from there.

SPEAKER_01 20:33

Well, and I'm a, you know, I'm a pattern seeker, I'm a correlator. You know, I like to read about something, and and some sentence hits me, and I'm like, oh my god, that's an that's exactly what a quartz piece does, even if I'm just reading about, I don't know, Barbara Han Clau astrology. Or, you know, it in the fact is it's like it is all interrelated. And, you know, back to even teaching something else that they they teach us in in at least in Kundalini yoga training, is when you're gonna go teach the class, they're like, teach the class you want to take. Yeah, that's because at least then someone's happy, like at least someone's having a good time. And the thing is, and this is something that always kind of bothered me about just crystals as a as an entity or like as a area of the of the new age bookstore, is there was never any like actual master guide expert lineage with with working with crystals. Like there's a few books, there's a few like OG books, and you know, they're fine, they're good. And I think we've all we all use them sorts for sort of reference. But this per the whoever wrote them, it's not like they came from a long line of of crystal lithomancy. Witchcraft, whatever. Like it's it's not like it goes back to, oh, since you know, prehistoric I mean, it does. The work of like the uses of crystals and and rock formations does go back to, I mean, Neolithic times. We know this with Stonehenge. But it's not like there's some Bible necessarily. There's something called the Crystal Bible by Judy Hall, which is a great reference, again. Um, but then going back, to me, the the sort of OG material is the book by Melody, which is called Love is on the Earth, which is out of print. Like I think the only thing you can get new is this giant textbook. It's like on eBay. So in a way, it's like, well, okay, there's nothing, there's no like Dead Sea Scroll that's gonna like inform us. So then what c if I had just bought my first crystal back and you know, and well, I mean, my first crystal like I was gifted to me when I was like 10, but still, you know what I mean? If I was to be like, oh wow, I really want to deep dive in this, I want to learn about this. Like, who do I go to? And I'm not saying, oh, Andrea, go to Andrea, but I'm saying, like, well, this is the course that this is what I've collected, this is what I've figured out, so we'll start there, you know, and let me even review what I've learned too.

SPEAKER_03 23:22

So the the books might be at the Vatican, so the information is out there somewhere. We just don't have access to it.

SPEAKER_01 23:33

They don't want to go.

SPEAKER_03 23:36

Somebody has it somewhere because this isn't a new thing for people to be uh attracted to, called to, interested in crystals. And like we were chatting about before we started recording, the fact that my grandfather and um my grandmother's brother were obsessed with collecting rocks and crystals, you know, also as a reminder that it's not just a feminine thing. They aren't just for girls. Like men and women and humans of all ages are obsessed with rocks and natural wonders. Um, and it makes us feel a certain way. And so when you start to get curious about why you're called to these things and why it makes you feel a certain way, you naturally want to learn more. Um, and you sometimes, and I think a lot of people are in this place, uh, you don't even know what questions to ask. You don't know what you don't know.

SPEAKER_00 24:31

Look at this, look at this, the way the light's hitting my citrine right now. Can you see it? It's like glowing.

SPEAKER_03 24:37

Yeah, it's lighting up.

SPEAKER_00 24:39

Distracted.

SPEAKER_03 24:41

Oh my god. I like to say confirmation that we're, you know, on the right page and then we're sharing the right information.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

No, it's like total like Atlantis moment where it's just sort of like, you know, anyways. Yes. No, it's absolutely. And I think in a way too, that's something I've been thinking about also, which is that crystals, like actually, they're they're it's not always explainable. You know, someone asked me, oh, why did you, you know, you this crystal you gifted me? Like, why did you give that to me? Like, what does it mean? And I was like, I don't know. I just thought you'd like it. Like literally, I was just scanning the collection, and I'm like, ooh, yeah, this one. And I think that's in a way, I I could, I could just leave it at that. Where, but you know, our minds want to know, and and we do want story. We do want meaning behind things. We don't want things to just feel like they're arbitrary. And I think that's part of the magic too, where it's like, I don't know, I just thought you'd like it, but then we do a little, we start working backwards, and it's like, oh, it does this thing, and oh my god, that's exactly what I've been, you know, it's fun. And I think too, that's that's what I really hope people can come back to is just that beginner's mind, but also the the sense of wonder. I mean, when you when I like have gone into the sort of subatomic particle and the lattices and the the angular structures of of each specific crystal class, it's like, God damn, that is elegant. Like that is elegant. And I think you run into this too with with nutrition and with sh like we all kind of want to just get back to not even so much nature, but the natural order of things. And there's so much chaos, there's so much confusion, there's so much like I don't know what story to believe that when I can turn myself into even just the geometry and science of crystals, it's like that is natural order, literally crystallized. And if I can tune into natural order and align myself with that sense of stability that I'm not going to get from the outside world, really. I'm not we we we get might get a little bit of stability or a little false sense of security with something, but we're kind of making it up. We don't know. We really you we you actually don't know that you're going to actually have that tomorrow, or that's actually going to be there for you. And I'm not saying, oh, we need to like push the world away and just like pay attention to crystals. It's just every now and then nice to be like, well, I don't know what the fuck's going on out there, but this is order, and I'm just gonna close my eyes and say to myself, all is well, all is in order, all is in divine order, I'm in divine order.

SPEAKER_03 27:46

Well, tell me about what we're gonna be learning in your course. How does it work? Is it an online pre-recorded course, or are we going kind of module by module with you live?

SPEAKER_01 27:58

So we are gonna be on Zoom live and there will be replays available because it's 5 p.m. Pacific and that is like midnight UK. So I apologize, UK. However, I did add two breakout sessions. So there will be a Saturday morning, 10 a.m. Pacific time on the 20, the Saturday after we launch. We launch on the 22nd, so whatever that Saturday is, and then skip a week, and then the following Saturday, second breakout session, and then the four consecutive Wednesdays. And that's just so that people can actually hop on and like hang out, like have a conversation, some back and forth questions, whatever. Um, I really it's like free swim, right? So um the first week, I'm still kind of mapping it out because there's all kinds of things I want to talk about. Like you brought up the feng shui. Like I think that's gonna be week three. But there's so many modalities of like placements for crystals and like rituals and ways that you can you can meditate with them or scry, but then there's also so much connection to the sort of new thinkers, and you know, it can get really esoteric, which is kind of why the first week I want us to just kind of focus on the physical formations, the chemicals, the um the actual crystals themselves, and like kind of just work with what's real, like what's right in front of us, what's what we're holding in our hands, what's like on our bookshelves. And then we'll we'll just get weirder and weirder as we go, right? Because the thing is, I I mean, nobody we don't really know what's gonna happen. We don't know where we're going. And the astrology of this moment right now is so fascinating. When you when you listen to any astrologer, they're like, this is incredible. I mean, the the amount of Aries energy that all of these planets are in, and everyone, everyone's agreeing, it's like a new start. And anything that's built on something that's old, corrupt, or not sustainable is going to fall away. And you you hear about it. I mean, we're watching regimes flip in politics, and I'm I mean, uh, you hear about relationships, and and even the last few days, people very close to me reporting these um these health crises that are I mean, it's life and death, guys. Like, like that's it's a very it's it's it's it's kind of like staggering to me, like how how much all of this is playing out. And even coming back to like setting a grid with crystals, I'm like, well, if we are charting a new world, a new paradigm, a new way of thinking, uh yeah, why why wouldn't we use these as a blueprint? Like a grid based on astrology or based on just pieces that you have that you want to put in an intentional way. Um, it's very interesting. And like I was listening to Pam Gregory, who's an astrologer, and she she's she's this she's this British lady. She's she's uh she's so quaint. She's just like, I just want to curl up on her sofa with like an Afghan and listen to her talk, which is kind of what's right.

SPEAKER_03 31:18

Is she brunette?

SPEAKER_01 31:20

No, she's like older. She's um it's like a she has like a honey colored hair. I don't know. Okay. She's older. She had Richard Rudd from the Gene Keys on one day. Like they he was at her house and they were zooming from different rooms, and I'm like, oh my God, to be a tea cozy in that room. Can you imagine? Like, um, but she's been talking a lot about we're we're we're all evolving into this light body. And Richard Rudd is talking about the new human. And I hear Zach Bush talking about the light body, and I'm like, well, what does a crystal do? It you know, it responds to our like our cells let off photons, and crystals take in light, they refract it, they expand it, they they prismatic it. Is that a word? They they make it into prisms, they they regulate a frequency. Yes.

SPEAKER_03 32:17

Yes, and they're balancing the frequency in our body, just like the food is balancing the frequency in our body, and all they're doing is just adding the light in that is being sucked out by other unseen forces.

SPEAKER_01 32:31

And they're regulating it and they're harmonizing it. I mean, when I was I was in New York City in 2020, it was January, and I'll never forget it. I had been very uneasy about going to New York City in January. I don't know why. I I I was I was at my parents' house in Boston and it was New Year's Eve day, I think, and I was gonna drive down and take part in this event. I didn't want to go. I was like, wow, I just really want to hide under the bed right now because I don't know why. And so I get to New York City and it's fine, and like I set up the crystals at this event, and I remember like a few days after New Year's standing in the hallway of the Holiday Inn in the Lower East Side, and just having this weird sense of these beams of light coming through the clouds, like the skyscraper's gray, grey, gray January day, and just seeing these sort of strange little beams coming down. And I'm like, huh, that's interesting. And to this day, I think about it because you hear about solar flares and light codes and all of this information blasting our planet now, and I'm like, I believe that. I believe that there have been light codes crashing into our atmosphere for, I mean, probably for honestly since the harmonic convergence in 1987, probably since then. But a lot of people waking up now, getting way more sensitive to it. And can't, you know, I think that's also why there's just so much, I don't know, chaos, uh commotion, because when you can't, when a frequency's higher and it comes in, it's like a high-pitched, it unless you can tune into it, it it's painful. It's very, you know, you someone's asleep in the in the dark and you throw the lights on and open the windows, and it's like, ah, it's very jarring. And so back to the crystals. It's like, well, of course, they're in training, they're resonating, they're creating a resonance. They're like, they're just here to help us not freak the fuck out. I mean, it's like it's it's like that scene in Harry Potter, the Goblet of Fire, when he has that egg thing. It's like one of his. Have you have you watched the goblins? Have you seen the Harry Potter movies? What? Okay. First of all, the good news is this is like the best homework to go watch Harry Potter. I mean, Jesus. Okay. Well, I'm gonna spoil something for you, but that you should have seen this 30 years ago when it came out or whenever that was. So there's this, there's this challenge, and he gets this like egg thing, and he has to figure out what to do with the egg, basically. And so he opens it, and it's like this like Norwegian death metal, like just this horrible screeching sound, and everyone's like, ah. And so he gets a he gets a tip from a ghost uh to take the egg into water and to go underwater with it. So he does. He goes underwater, he opens it up, and then and suddenly it's just like whee ow! And it's just this like beautiful angelic song, and it's giving him clues and information. And I always think of that with with crystals as just being these tuning forks and these resonators, and they're here to help. Like they the unit cell of a crystal is then repeated in a in an ordered pattern. And so that light, that frequency kind of comes out of nowhere. It goes through the crystal and it meets order and pattern and it it organizes it and then shoots it out. It's it's fascinating, and you you know, so it's it's just it's just time. It's just time, that's all. But that's why also the course is for people who are like, gee, I don't know, I'm kind of into crystals now. And it's like, well, gee, I think that's right on time then, because lots happening.

SPEAKER_03 36:49

As you've been talking, I've been thinking, I I need to pull out some of my quartz crystal and have it next to my meditation chair for when I meditate. And I actually need to put it in my bed and start sleeping with it again because it helps balance me. And I have found with whatever energy is hitting the planet right now, I'm out of balance. I'm um, I'll just be walking in my house and I'll like fall over. Like I'll literally lose balance. Um and you know, feeling overwhelmed. And as a podcast host, I'm often in the past few weeks, I can't respond as quickly as I want to. It's taking me a longer time to process the information. And so obviously, something's shifting. I don't think it's my health, I just think it's all the energy on the planet, the overwhelm. It's like there's too much in the radio waves. Yeah, exactly. Yeah, and I was just noticing last night um before I went to bed that I could still see too much of what I was scrolling on TikTok and Instagram. It's like it was still in my my conscious, in my eyes. It's too, it's too much, it's so intense. Um and it's leaving too much of an imprint. So it's almost like it's time to, I don't know, like get a new notebook, like get rid of the old ones, like really filter what you're allowing in and making sure it's only information that's gonna move you forward on whatever this new path is. And so I do think your crystal class is great timing.

SPEAKER_01 38:33

Well, and also like we're still having to carve new neural patterns, new belief systems. We're still having to like build roads really in this, you know, new world that we're energetically in. And it's funny because you know, I don't really drink, I don't drink alcohol anymore. I haven't had alcohol in a long, long time. And recently I just stopped sugar. And I'm talking, I'm talking like, you know, baked goods, you know, the bakery section, that kind of thing. I mean, you know, I've never I've never had a bad time with like a piece of carrot cake, you know. And I just the other like there was a few, it was a few weeks ago, and I just wasn't I don't know, I wasn't feeling well. I went to yoga and usually I'd like get some food at Whole Foods or something, and like a treat for later, like a cookie, and I'm like, no, I don't feel like it. And I haven't had that in weeks now, and I'm like, wow, that's okay, but I'll tell you, my scrolling time is off the charts. Like at the end of the day, you know, oh I'll just just for like a minute, and then it turns into, I'm not kidding, like it could be two hours.

SPEAKER_03 39:49

It's never been like this in my life, so something has changed, but I've also noticed um like a few months ago, you know, I think we've talked about this before. I go through phases where I just want to be a basic human, you know, like I don't want to be this like spiritual being. I just kind of want to act like these people who are walking around numb. So I try to play like basic human. And as you know, especially being a starseed and being a person with a business called Starseed Kitchen, that's not really what I get to do. No. Um and so part of that has been um, you know, in the evenings when I'm doing my compression bags on my legs or um, you know, my castor oil liver pack, which again, none of these are basic human activities. But I'll do that and I'll scroll.

SPEAKER_01 40:45

But it kind of castor, that sounds that sounds like like midwife or something. Like that that sounds that that actually sounds very medicinal to me.

SPEAKER_03 40:55

Yeah, I'll do my castor oil liver pack, I'll drink some warm water with lemon, and uh, but I'll I'll scroll or I'll watch Bravo. Um and it's I you know, you've you you try to you kind of choose to check out or numb out in different ways. And then you hit a point where you realize, oh, I I that's I'm done. Like we're complete. We gotta go, we gotta go back and get back on mission.

SPEAKER_01 41:22

The thing is, and I'm with you by the way, I got a job last year. I was like so burnt out from running a business, and I mean, and I did it's like you don't know it's happening to you, you don't know that you're in it until like you step out, and then I know I'm listening to lots of entrepreneurs and business owners, and I'm like, oh, I guess this is a thing. You you do have a bad year, or you do have a year where what you were doing isn't working, or you're just not interested in it anymore, or you're getting really resentful of it. So I wanted, I'm like, I don't I want to be where the people are, and so it's been great in a lot of ways because I think it's very easy to get whisked away into this never-never land of a spiritual business and losing touch with the rest of the world. Like it's very easy for me to sit in my little Sedona bubble and be like, you know, om shanti. But, you know, I've I've met so many people now coming in and out of Sedona that, you know, it's it's it's very grounding. And I think it's it's like we do, we are here to live in the world. And I completely agree. And in a way, too, that's the class. It's like, oh, you're in Sedona, oh, you bought some crystals, you don't know what they are, you don't understand them. Oh, okay, I could tell, I mean, I could tell you things for hours. So I'll let me put it together in an orderly way. Um but what you were saying too, oh, about the scrolling, that's another thing, even in creating the class. Like I've been working with my friend Jen Mola, she's amazing, and she's been helping me with the AI of just the technical aspects of putting together a course, but I'm adamant about the images. I'm like absolutely no AI images, like no AI illustrations, no AI artwork. Um I might need it for some like graphs, but any images I use are the crystals that I have photographed myself because scrolling, there's there's something, I don't know, I'm sure there's some study going on, but when my eyeballs interact with constant AI, and I'm even like losing energy trying to determine if this thing is real or not. Like, are these dogs real? Even though like it looks like, is this cockatoo real? I'm like, why am I asking this at 11 30 at night? Like, there are better ways for me, better things for me to be painted. Attention to. But all that, all of it, it's it it's like this empty calorie where it's like you're just getting blasted with images and images and images, and they're cool, they're interesting, but it's like it's sort of like walking into the fantasy section of Barnes and Noble and just pulling each cover off and being like, oh, here's a dragon book, oh, here's a dragon book, oh, here's a dragon book. And it's like in Richard Rudd says this there's no depth to AI. Yes, it is a tool, and yes, I'm benefiting greatly from what it does well, but in terms of connecting as humans, uh living in the world, our consciousness, our creativity, it's it's not, it's it's not inspired necessarily. It's inspired, like whoever's making it and like they are creating something, and like they're they're getting something out of that for sure. But and I'm not and I'm not poo-pooing it, I'm just saying it's there's so much of it, and it's it's really taxing a lot of our brains in an age right now where we are constantly being faced with the question of, well, is this real? Is this real? Is this real? And we create our own reality. You know, I started reading the Seth books. I don't know why I've never read them before. There's they're super OG channeling. It's the Seth material, it's called Seth Speaks, and it's by Jane Roberts, who was a woman that channeled this entity called Seth in the 70s. And this is like the OG channeling stuff. Like this, this is like what Shirley McLean was getting into later on.

SPEAKER_01 47:07

But the Seth material, I mean, it's all there, and it's it's not casual, but it's all about consciousness, realities, parallel uh realities, and um, I mean, I I scroll for an hour and a half and then I try to read some Seth and I'm out. I'm I pass right out. I'm just like, okay, it's like my brain's like, fuck you. Like um, but it's the book, the the book is called The Nature of Reality. And so I'm like just trying to find some facts here about crystals. I'm like, okay, this is real, I can count on this.

SPEAKER_00 47:46

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 47:47

But honestly, Whitney, everything is a theory. It's all theory. And our theory of of the theories will be disproven later or they will be reworked later. So in the meantime, it's what reality do we want to create, and what reality feels good for just our future creative endeavors. And that's kind of my my launch pad for teaching this course. It's like I feel like there's gonna be more to teach to people about just literally manifesting, creating the reality that you want to live in and taking responsibility for the reality that you've created and that you're living in. And honestly, this my friends were saying, like, yeah, this course is just so that you can like get your fucking website up, Andrea, and like figure out a launch page and you know, set up a Stripe account. Like, you have to kind of like put these structures in place, this Aries energy, like starting something new and teach what you know right now.

SPEAKER_03 48:55

So that was what came in my meditation that I did on Monday. Um, after I got done working for my personal chef client, I went to the beach because I really felt like I needed to ground. And I walked to the beach and then I found a piece of grass because I was like, I gotta get on dirt. I got on dirt, you know, barefoot, and I did a meditation, and I just got share what you know. Like stop, stop the noise, stop overthinking, just start sharing all that you know. Like that it's time you've gathered enough information. Yeah, you don't need more to be the expert. It's just share what you know right now.

SPEAKER_01 49:35

Again, it's the life well lived, it's the embodiment. It's it's very easy to read a book and learn about something. But you know, we are you going to go practice it? Are you going to go experience it? Are you going to go? I mean, you can read a book and someone's going to say, Oh, citrine is about prosperity, and citrine activates prosperity and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. Okay, that's cool. Is that, but does is that happening for you? Is that your experience?

SPEAKER_03 50:08

You know what's really interesting. You say that. And Sita used to have your two giant citrines on her stage in her yoga studio. Yep. She sat there, and she and many other people stood on that stage, did kundalini yoga over and over and over and over again. And what has become of that? A woman who is prosperous. Yes. So I would say, like, you know, I saw an example of it working. Yeah. In a beautiful way. But it's because the crystals were placed properly, energy was put behind the crystal, yeah, and things took off. So it's as we know, and this is a great reminder, that they're magnifiers. And so they're not, nothing's gonna happen if you just put it there. You have to put energy behind it. Nothing's gonna happen if you open the Stripe account. You have to put energy behind it.

SPEAKER_01 51:05

Completely, completely. And like, is it a proven science? No, like you can't act, I can't say that. I mean, it's pretty funny because I started working with crystals. I had a little bit of a I had a little bit of a collection, and I was setting up my little altars, and I was putting them in geomancy in like there were these geomancy forums, and I was doing that. And, you know, I had my little prosperity altar. For me, I'm like, well, they did bring a lot of prosperity because I started a fucking business and like a lot took, a lot happened and it took off. So in a and I'm like, it's just funny to me, because it's like, do I expect someone to buy a piece of citrine and then go start a crystal business? No. But it could they buy a piece of citrine and the money finds its way to them because they have resonated with that frequency and they have entrained themselves, and they're just part of, to me, they're like the decor of the life that you want to live, right? Like they're you're already, there's there's a million moving parts to your life being what you want it to be. It's like you gotta be healthy, you're gonna in in a good, you know, hopefully in good relationships. Like all the things that we want, like your best, your best life lived or whatever, it's not just a piece of quartz sitting on your desk. It's a million other things, but the quartz is part of it. It's part of the symphony of of whatever music you're making. You know, quartz especially, and it's an amplifier, it's you put it by mu it transmits sound, it transmits light.

SPEAKER_03 52:53

It sounds like this course is gonna be like a good refresher for everyone who joins. Like, remember the basics, start applying the basics. Okay, let's go a little deeper. Let's like share the magic that we can't share on social media because the real good stuff, like, you can't make a real about it. Like the some of the stuff that I've learned from practitioners around the world, like, I can't go on social media and talk about that. You need to have a one-on-one conversation with someone to show them how to do it properly. And so we I it sounds like we're gonna get into some of that fun stuff, and then we can see what happens, and you can kind of track, you know, the evolution of all the people that choose to take part and see if, like, whatever the intention is or whatever they put the energy behind really takes off because it's magnified by the crystals.

SPEAKER_01 53:42

And like, you know, we have these books that interpret crystals or say what they mean or what they represent. This is just one person who got a book deal, basically, or just got their shit together and published something. Like, there's a lot of there's a lot of self-published stuff out there, you know? And I'm curious what people what people I know, like what their experiences are, and like, you know, what what kind of journey have you been on with this? Or, you know, when you meditate, does the does it talk to you? Is there a being in there? Like, I don't know. I mean, this is this is fascinating stuff that everybody gets to participate in. You know, Judy Hall doesn't have the final word on on on what appetite means. And I mean, you wanna you wanna like get me frustrated. It's it's trying to get to the bottom of the fucking crystal skulls because that's something that I've been fascinated by for so long. I don't know, I collect them, I sell them, like I'm always drawn to them, and I'm still like, what does it mean? I mean, I have ideas, but but like you said too, I um, yeah, there's I live in Sedona, you know. I I talk to people, I I hear about things off um offline. And when I I I'm still I still have to kind of meet up with someone and ask them what they were actually talking about when because they, you know, military crystals, I'll just say that. Right?

SPEAKER_03 55:20

And it's like, yeah. The crystals are in our computers that we're on right now, right? And they used to originally come from the quartz mines in Arkansas, right? So most of the quartz mines in Arkansas are owned by Japanese companies. Um there's so much we don't know just because we don't have the right job.

SPEAKER_01 55:40

And when you connect how they use crystals right now, like you can use a crystal to split a photon. Like there's literally a crystal that can do that. And a lot of I mean, a lot of the crystals that are in the computers, they're all lab grown at this point because it's just more sustainable to do it that way.

SPEAKER_00 56:00

Totally.

SPEAKER_01 56:01

But I mean, okay, that's cool. Like, I don't care that I have a lab grown crystal in my MacBook if that's the case. But imagine what a four billion-year-old piece of quartz or even a million-year-old piece of quartz, what kind of information is stored in there versus obviously the lab-grown, and what is their access to? Like what and and again, that's like the crystal that you have in your hand right now, you have no idea what it could possibly be telling you. Possibly, right? I mean, maybe you do. But you know, the other the other thing I just wanted to add, you know, we have Uranus entering Gemini in April, and at the end of April, April 26th, I think. And just what you've been saying about scrolling, and that's like my marching orders too. Like when Uranus enters Gemini, Uranus rules electricity, and Gemini is communication. And what do what are crystals? They are pu they're piezoelectric, they conduct electricity, right? We're about to go into an age now where this rebellious, innovating, free-thinking planet is in Gemini communication, all things like chitter chatter, monkey mind. I mean, it's gonna go off. So regulate your nervous systems, everybody. Like, notice like the theme of the year. Yeah. Note like, but notice, notice where it's getting a little off the rails right now with your thinking, with your focus, with your brain. Um, what are we paying attention to? What are we subscribing to? And what are we being communicated to? And what do we want to communicate out? Ugh.

SPEAKER_03 57:55

Yeah, it's it's gotten too loud for me. Um so I'm quieting everything and I'm really tightening my circle. Like, I don't have time to go meet you for coffee anymore. Not you, but like like the amount of coffee meetings I was doing earlier this year just to be polite, and no time. Like, I need to have just this is the download I've gotten recently because I was really looking for a download. Like, I was really asking for guidance and clarity. And I've gotten tighten the circle, get rid of the noise, like tunnel vision, focus on and execute the next phase of like your purpose and your goals and everything that's next. Um, so when you announced that you were doing your crystal course, I was like, this woman's this woman is in line with the same information I'm getting. It's like time to buckle down again and execute.

SPEAKER_01 58:51

Yep. And I mean, I've run my business on social, largely my business has been from social media. Like, that's how people find me, that's how I connect with people, that's how I've been selling. And social's so weird now. Like, I'll I'll post a story and maybe 50 people will see it. Like the algorithm, I don't know. And I'm I like social, it's fun. Like, I like like throwing a a story out here and there. But yeah, this is, I mean, it was either teach a class or like go do stand-up or something, because I was like, I need to, I love expressing on social. Like, I have a good time. I've always I've always liked performing and all that, but there's something really um just scattered about it and low attention span. So I'm like, well, yeah, I mean, or it was write a book, which I didn't really don't feel like doing either, maybe someday. But I wanted to take all the stuff, consolidate, concentrate, be me, and let it all, let it be in a in a bit of a container and see who wants to come into it and like build it, build community that way too. I mean, uh again, I love having followers and meeting people that, oh, this friend, that friend found you this way, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. But I like the idea of even a small group, even. And I was thinking of like limiting the number of people in the class at first, but I mean, this is all just beta testing, too. But what you're saying, let's all come together and focus on one thing, and we're all there with one intention, and it's not, it's not, you know, it's it's not like leaked, it's not like, it's not like kind of all over the place. It's actually something um that we can all just concentrate on and contemplate and be in a container together.

SPEAKER_03 1:00:50

I feel like I'm I'm excited to see where we're gonna end up. Like I'm excited to see, you know, you'll you'll be able to see how deep you can go with this group. And then I'm excited to see what we are all gonna personally create in this live in this like next six months with this information and energy behind us. So, so thank you for offering this, especially during Aries season before we hit Gemini season and we're all all over the place. Um, so perfect timing. So I'm gonna I wanna do some rapid fire questions with you that I do with every single podcast guest now. Um, I haven't asked you these questions before, so share what you can, all right? Okay, okay. Okay. Uh, what's your favorite superfood? Spirulina.

unknown 1:01:37

I've never had spirulina.

SPEAKER_03 1:01:40

That sounds accurate. Well, it matches my malachite. So you can choose spirulina or you can just hold a piece of malachite.

SPEAKER_01 1:01:47

Wait, wait. What are superfoods?

SPEAKER_03 1:01:49

Some superfoods superfoods are supposed to be an ingredient that provides a variety of, I want to say like multidimensional nourishment. So foods that are adding a bigger boost of minerals and vitamins than other foods. So, right, so you have an orange and then you have kamu kamu, which is a berry from South America that has like quadrupled the amount of vitamin C than an orange. So superfoods tend to be foods where it's the health supportive contents are magnified. Okay.

SPEAKER_01 1:02:37

Yeah. See, when you said what's your favorite superfood, I think I just thought of what's what's the only superfood I know is a superfood. Like name a superfood.

SPEAKER_03 1:02:50

Some people will respond, my favorite superfood is beans and lentils, you know, because it's such a balanced whole food. Some people will say that their favorite superfood is a vitamin C supplement. You know, it's it's what's a superfood to you, right? Because everyone's made up a little differently. Um for you, your favorite superfood might be, you know, quartz or chocolate. Coffee. I've had multiple people, by the way, have said coffee's their favorite superfood.

SPEAKER_01 1:03:20

Well, there you go. I'm yeah, coffee and amethyst. Amethyst is my favorite super crystal.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:25

I love that. Um, most underrated food people should be eating for their health. Celery juice?

SPEAKER_01 1:03:33

Is that not bad? Does that count? Is that that's drinking though? That's a wait, underrated food that people should be eating. You're talking to the wrong person, girl. I'm like, I'm like six ingredient Andrea, and two of them are coffee and celery juice.

SPEAKER_03 1:03:51

What is one food everyone should avoid? Um, McDonald's. Excellent choice. Um, a favorite spice? Turmeric. Ooh. Best health habit you've added this year. Rest. That sounds so nice. Yeah. I've been needing extra sleep this year. Like I used to be able to pop out of bed at 5:30, get like a little extra kundalini spiritual work done. I can't do it. It's very interesting. I don't know what's going on. I think I just need rest. A food trend you think is wrong or people should pass on. Oh, zumpic.

Sorry, it's not a food. Um, a food trend. When there's some kind of a mono diet happening, something hardcore like that, I'm like, I don't know. I mean, I think it's great for people to practice a discipline for 40 days kind of thing. Like, try to do something that's not that's challenging for 40 days, like a 40-day yoga challenge or a 40-day this or a 40-day that. But when it comes down to like 40 days of just just you know, one particular food or one sort of fast, I'm like, I don't know.

SPEAKER_03 1:05:06

It was interesting. I was interviewing for the podcast, um, Lisa. She's one of one of the like lymphatic massage experts. Oh, and you know, lymphatic massage is super gentle, like it's super light, and it does so much for the body. And I found that in all my years of studying food, health, wellness, cleansing, healing, that you know, all the restriction about food, all the cleanses, all the detoxes did not do as much for me as the gentle things, the soft lymphatic massage. The approaches that are gentle and light and easy on the body garner more results than like the harsh, you know, restriction cleanse, juice, avoid this, don't do. That the the softer I have found brings more results.

SPEAKER_01 1:06:05

Yeah, I mean because I think if even if you're someone who is going to take on a challenge, there's a very masculine, action-oriented sort of intention there. And we're also already hard on ourselves that to actually experience gentle, maternal, nurturing treatment is I think I think there's still this really big resistance to that. But I love what you're saying about lymphatic massage because I was listening to Pam Gregory talking about this Aries new moon and Gemini um Uranus going to Gemini, and she said, do something new. Do something you've never done before. And I'm literally driving and I'm like, what am I, what do I? I think I've done everything that I want to do. Like there's nothing new, but I've never had a lymphatic massage, I don't think. And that does, I do want to do that.

SPEAKER_03 1:07:06

Yeah. If you come to LA or Orange County, um, I'll send you to uh Maskell, M-A-S-C-L or Mizukami um massage. I mean, you'll text me. I've I've had the owner of uh that massage studio on my podcast. So they have a location in Brentwood, they have a location in San Clemeni, and it's super gentle. They use high-quality sesame oil and coconut oil blended together, you know, like very Ayurvedic, warm on your body. You drain on the table so the the excess lymph comes out of you on the table, and it's it's absolutely amazing, and it is nourishing and lovely, and um it's one of my favorites. Not all lymphatic massages alike. So you really you you you have to keep trying until you find the the version for you, the gentle version for you. All right, two more questions. Um, coffee or tea?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:06

Coffee.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:08

And then last question if someone listening wants to improve their health through food or a wellness practice, what's one suggestion you suggest they make?

SPEAKER_01 1:08:18

I would tell them to sit in front of a mirror and just look at themselves and say, You're doing so amazing right now. You are so incredible. You are you really are such a superhuman. Look at you. Look at you. So self-talk.

SPEAKER_03 1:08:37

So you think what we need to demonize is part of the self-talk as our medicine.

SPEAKER_01 1:08:41

Start with presencing and just say, you're already perfect. You are already perfect. And what's something we can try for funsies, experiment in this body that can give us more energy? That, you know, what do we want to have a bigger experience of? I ask my clients that all the time with crystals. What do you want to have a bigger experience of? Crystals amplify. But I'm really finding that the most powerful witnessing that we can do for ourselves and others and helping people, because like ultimately, I can't, you can't do yoga for someone else. You can't really, like, everyone, everyone really is on their own. Like, you have they have they have to decide that they're gonna change this health habit or they're gonna do this thing, whatever. I cannot do it for you. I also can't tell you how to do it necessarily. I can give you modalities, I can tell you things that I have done, I can share my experience. I don't know if it's going to work for you. And then, you know, I think you're the same way. Like you're you're a healer and a giver, and we go, we want to heal everyone. We want everyone to be happy and like fix everything and blah blah blah, and like fix ourselves. But the fact is the the most powerful presence I can be is tuning into whoever it is, and for first and foremost, affirming steadfast, no question, no doubt. They're absolute perfection already. They are already. You don't need this crystal, you don't need the supplement, you are absolutely perfect right now, and that is all I'm gonna hold right now. That's the frequency I'm going to tune into. And that frequency is it's the life, it's it's it's the life source, and it's within me, it's within within you. And so I'm gonna tune into my own, behold my own perfection in this moment, recognize it in the person that I'm talking to or the mirror, and you know, start there and hold that, hold the pose, and you know, the the right action will come, the right thought will come.

SPEAKER_03 1:11:04

We don't hear that enough. That's great. We don't.

unknown 1:11:08

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:10

We can get really existential right now, can't we?

SPEAKER_03 1:11:14

Well, why don't you tell people where they can tune into your crystal class, when they can tune into your crystal class, um, how they can find it. Um, I mean, honestly, chatting with you reminded me how good it feels to just sit and hold these crystals. Like sometimes we forget we buy them because we think it'll look really pretty in a corner of our house or on a shelf or you know, next to some books. But like when you pick them up, you want to cuddle them like a stuffed animal. They they feel good, they emit an energy. Um, so this has been a great reminder. So please share with the audience how they can tune into what you're offering.

SPEAKER_01 1:11:53

So the class, I'll probably teach it again, but we're this class is going to start on April 22nd at 5 p.m. Pacific time on Zoom. You can sign up by going to my website, which is AndreaWright.life.
