Luminary Life with Lori A Andrus

This week on the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m leaning into the gentle and potent medicine of Prehnite, our crystal ally for the month. Prehnite arrives with three clear messages: Slow down Anchor into the present Embark on a journey of soul revelation To me, soul revelation is the slow uncovering of what is most true within you. It is what becomes possible when you soften, become present, and listen...

This week on the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m leaning into a conversation about 3 wisdom messages from crystals and stones to help us navigate these changing times. Again and again, I find myself returning to this truth: so much of the wisdom for this time lives within the earth. The crystals and stones hold ancient records. They carry a depth of wisdom and knowing that can help us remember who we a...

Sometimes life changes course suddenly. The old path no longer fits, and the new one has not fully revealed itself yet.   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I reflect on two crystals that captured my attention back in February — a lightning strike crystal and a bent / self-healed crystal from Brazil — and the medicine they were already carrying before I knew why I would need it.   Insid...

What happens when the background noise of everyday life finally drops away?   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I reflect on a recent quiet weekend in the forest and the clarity that becomes available when the nervous system is no longer filtering the constant hum of modern life.   When the noise falls away, something in us softens. We rest more deeply. We hear ourselves more clearly....

What happens after a beautiful, expansive, or meaningful experience?

During a time when the energy of the world feels loud, fragmented, and rushed, many of us are longing for something deeper. In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I explore what it means to hear the soft call of the sacred . . . that quiet invitation to return to reverence, relationship, and what is most real. Inside this episode, I reflect on: - what the sacred is, and how we might define...

Last week, I hit a wall. I was deeply tired, burned out, and seriously questioning the right next steps.   Then life started guiding me in soft, practical, and supportive ways.   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I share a deeply personal reflection on: - reaching for support when I felt bound and weighed down - a powerful encounter with a young owl and the message it carried - a sprin...

Lately, I keep hearing (and saying to myself) this phrase: I just can’t deal with it. If that’s been true for you too, you are not alone. In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I create space to speak honestly about overwhelm, tenderness, and the challenge of living in a world that can feel like too much. With Spirit Quartz as our ally for the month and its message to sink into the warm emb...

This eclipse window sits inside another 1 year in numerology—just like 2017, when I packed my life with new beginnings. It was exciting and full… and when I look back, I can also see that the foundation I built was scattered.   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I share how this 1 year feels different: less about starting “all the things,” and more about laying a truer foundation for th...

Since returning from Tucson, my head has been full of inspiration, but my body has needed deep rest. It’s a good reminder of how quickly life can pull us off-center and into reactive mode, even when we’re doing what we love. As February winds down, our crystal ally, Stellar Beam Calcite (from the Stones Speak Oracle), is inviting us to ask a simple question: Is this rooted… or reactive? In this ep...

Tucson was alive this year—my first time seeing the desert in bloom—and the energy of the show matched it: grounded, joyful, and deeply present. In this episode I share reflections from two different shows I visited: the overall vibe, the way vendors showed up, and the crystals that truly called (plus the messages they carried). In this episode: - The overall vibe in Tucson: presence, joy, and why...

Recorded just before I head to the Tucson Gem Show, this episode shares how I plan to walk the show deeply present. I share what I listen for, how I stay grounded, and why this return (after 11 years) feels so alive.   In this episode: - How I “read the floor” — what truly calls vs. what’s just loud - Staying grounded and clear while shopping — simple breath + boundary resets - A few fun bits — an...
