Luminary Life with Lori A Andrus

Fall is a natural time to clear, release, and refresh the energy around us.   In this episode, I’m sharing the guidance that came through while working with Garnet around energetic hygiene for both the home and the energy body.   We’ll explore working with Garnet to clear and release, Quartz to bring in and anchor light, and Selenite to support the energy of your space.   A simple practice for the...

In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m exploring the way crystals can help us reconnect with vision, truth, and the deeper knowing already alive within us. We’ll work with the energy of Clear Quartz, our 2026 crystal ally for clarity and vision, alongside Garnet, October’s ally for rooting, embodiment, and bringing what we know into lived form. Together, these stones invite us to consid...

What does it mean to be a Wisdomkeeper? Nearly twenty years ago, I heard this word for the first time and felt an immediate sense of recognition. In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m exploring five ways you may recognize the calling of the Wisdomkeeper within yourself . . . through your relationship with the Earth, your intuition, your healing journey, the wisdom you carry, and the gi...

Sometimes the win is simply that you showed up.   You created the space.   You paused.   You created space to listen.   In this episode of the **Luminary Life Podcast**, I’m exploring why sacred practice matters and how the simple act of showing up can deepen self-trust, shift the stories we are telling ourselves, and help us see our experiences more clearly.   When we slow down and listen, we may...

Do you ever find yourself thinking: I wish I were more disciplined. I wish I could stay consistent. How do I make time for my spiritual practice? In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I’m exploring a shift that has made a profound difference in my own life: Perhaps we don’t need more discipline. Perhaps we need a rhythm. For me, two of the most powerful rhythms have been the moon cycle and...

Feeling out of sync?   Sometimes nothing has gone wrong . . . you're simply in transition.   In this episode of the **Luminary Life Podcast**, I’m exploring the art of moving from one season of life into another . . . and what helps us find our rhythm again when our routines, energy, and sense of balance have been shaken up.   Transitions are not always surrounding dramatic, big life events.   The...

There is so much competing for our attention.   Opinions. Expectations. Responsibilities. Notifications. Busyness. Overthinking. The constant pull to look outside ourselves for one more answer.   But beneath all of that, your inner wisdom is still there.   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, we explore what it means to slow down enough to hear the quieter voice within — and how crystals,...

What vision are you holding for your life right now — and do your daily choices support what you desire to create? In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, we work with Iolite and Clear Quartz in a guided crystal ritual for vision, clarity, alignment, and grounded action. Iolite offers an expansive perspective, helping us step back from the details of daily life and see the larger landscape m...

What happens when life begins to feel flat, muted, or disconnected from the magic you once felt so easily? After spending four full weeks in the forest, I found myself reflecting on trust, inner wisdom, creative flow, and the ways we reconnect with what makes us feel alive. In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, I share the messages that emerged through time in nature, the copper and heart-...

Have you ever looked back at all the spiritual practices, creative paths, interests, and identities you have explored and wondered:   Am I scattered—or is my soul revealing itself?   In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, we explore the many gateways to soul revelation and the deeper thread that may be moving through your curiosity and seeking.   For some of us, the path is not linear. We a...

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....

In this conversation, we explore: - the strange tension of holding joy an...

What happens after a beautiful, expansive, or meaningful experience? In this episode of the Luminary Life Podcast, Lori reflects on returning home after a weekend of deep connection, speaking, sharing, and stretching into new spaces and the quiet truth that followed: Sometimes the next step is not to do more.

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...
