In this episode, we are talking about stone medicine with Sarah Thomas, BS, MAc, LAc, an inspired non-binary healer and educator who owns Clarity Acupuncture in southern Appalachia and is the lead instructor and founder of the Upper Clarity School of Stone Medicine.
In this fascinating chat, Sarah shares how they came to Stone Medicine and memories of past life connections as a healer working with stones.
We touch on how stones work at the level of consciousness, immortality, and alchemy - changing our state of consciousness with imbued awakening properties.
Sarah teaches how to clear and recharge your crystals with the help of Mother Earth, how to select stones for yourself and specific examples and ways of working with stone medicine/crystals (especially for these times) that are supportive for both individuals and collective.
Find out why Sarah says 2020 was the Obsidian year, the magical properties of silica, quartz and the connection to the Akashic Records. Plus Sarah’s top stone recommendations for supporting low energy, high stress, and realignment of your soul path.
You’ll hear about Venessa’s gateway stones and love affair with purple crystals, pearl’s power to feed our wild, and so much more!
