About this episode
Warning: I was tripping when I recorded this episode. Before recording this interview, Energy Muse co-founders Heather Askinosie and Timmi Jandro laid me down on a crystal-laden iMRS PEMF mat for about 20 minutes and guided me through the insane and wonderful experience they call Crystal Biohacking. This crystal-assisted device recalibrated my nervous system and calmed me down – so essentially, it’s a mobile battery you can use to recharge yourself. These ladies knew how to get me primed in my flow state, and created the most insanely powerful energy vortex for our recording. I honestly knew almost nothing about crystals before this conversation, so this experience was pretty much the perfect segue into my big question: What the heck are crystals, and do they have 'healing powers'? For some people they are just a colorful a rock, for others, they’re a tool – and for Heather, a natural born skeptic, and researcher, they quickly became an obsession. The more she learned about the power of these strange natural formations, the more she wanted to know how to integrate them into her life, and ultimately, her business. As a result of her growing curiosity and passion, Energy Muse was born in 2000. That was also the year Heather's former skepticism was laid to rest. Today, Heather and Timmi are working hard to shatter the misconceptions of the crystal world, by bringing these mysterious objects to the masses. They’re trying to destigmatize the practice of crystal use, and take the “woo-woo” out of the industry for those who might be scared away by the new age connotations crystals once carried. They continue to be motivated by the facts that the positive effects of crystals aren’t just metaphysical – they’re real, tangible, and very accessible to your anyone if they’re willing to try. So whether you’re a veteran crystal wizard, a skeptic yourself, or finally feel comfortable coming out of the crystal closet, the girls of Energy Muse are here for you in this epic, supercharged episode.
