Lori shares a truly unusual experience involving Shungite—a crystal that left a physical bruise, which deepened and grew in size, before healing with the help of shadow work and a personal desire to keep pushing through the unknown.

Peta also recounts her unlikely encounters with the infamous Moldavite, revealing that its reputation for upheaval is well-earned—but only for those unprepared for its transformative power. She then explores the energetic world of meteorites and tektites, and how high-vibration crystals can offer grounding and clarity, especially for those with ADHD.
