Welcome to the Love and Light Live podcast, empowering crystal lovers to learn and experience the art of crystal healing.

Get ready to listen in and follow your soul calling with crystals.

Hello, and thank you so much for joining me for the Love and Light Live podcast, brought to you by love and light school.com.

I'm your host, Ashley Levy, and this podcast is the number one place for all things crystals.

In today's show, I'm sharing an interview with my dear friend and crystal author,

Nicholas Pearson, to celebrate the release of his brand new book, The Crystal Basics Pocket

Encyclopedia. We'll be discussing Nicholas's top five crystal recommendations for your

crystal toolkit. Plus, you'll get to see a little bit behind the scenes of exactly what it's like when a

crystal author is putting together a book like this, a little bit about the thought

process and how the crystals are chosen for the book.

We'll have a little bit of discussion on Crystal Ethics, which some of you may remember I've

discussed with Nicholas on this show before. And I think this is such a great way to kind of

pull back the curtain and see what it's like inside of the Crystal Publishing industry.

And I also will share a bit about why I personally love this book so much. It is always a joy and a pleasure to get to

chat with Nicholas. And by the time you're listening to this episode, I will actually be packing up

to leave for the retreat that he and I are co-facilitating in Glastonbury in England to talk about the sacred stones of the

landscape there. So we are co-leading a retreat called the Sacred Stones of Avalon, a crystal pilgrimage

to reveal the grail within. And I am so, so looking forward to the two of us spending time together in England,

teaching about crystals, getting to share some intimate in-person events with our attendees.

And although this retreat is fully booked and sold out, if you would be interested in learning

more about future retreats with us, you can head over to

sacred stones retreat.com and get on the wait list to find out about our upcoming events.
