About this episode
In this special episode of Big Crystal Energy, Ashleigh sits down with Kim Charlson, the voice channel behind **Vessel & Voice—and a trans-channel who works closely with her guide, Monty.This conversation is intentionally intuitive and wide-ranging: how Kim first spontaneously voice-channeled, what “channeling” actually means (hint: it’s broader than most people realize), why crystals are powerful training tools for discernment, and how to approach the non-physical with groundedness, safety, and sovereignty.If you’ve been curious about spirit guides, energetic boundaries, or what a channeling session really looks like behind the scenes—this one’s for you.In this episode, we cover:What voice channeling is (and how it differs from broader forms of channeling)Kim’s first spontaneous channeling experience—and the validation that confirmed it was realWhy many people are “channeling” more often than they think (especially intuitive crystal people)Using crystals as stable energy anchors to build discernment and psychic vocabularyKim shares crystals she worked with early on, including citrine and Isua stone“Light” vs “dark” energetic aesthetics—without the morality overlay (and why preference isn’t “bad”)When someone might seek channeling: practical guidance, bigger spiritual questions, new perspectiveThe foundations of safe channeling: grounding, nervous system safety, opening energetic centersWhy movement can be grounding (including ADHD-friendly approaches) and why there’s no one “right” methodImportant nuance: not everyone should channel, especially if dissociation is part of someone’s mental health pictureGreen flags vs red flags in channeled guidanceEmpowering guidance vs “fear + shoulds + control” energyKim’s channeling process with Monty: invocation, verification, Q&A style sessions, and “human tending”The “iracular experience”: when the energy of what you receive shifts you—beyond logic or explanationKim’s personal story: from marketing agency hustle, burnout, and a major health crisis… to energy healing and channelingWhy it’s never “too late” to begin: your path can open at any age—and often doesMentioned in the episode:Opening the Door (where Ashleigh first heard Kim)Crystals for training/grounding + discernment: citrine, quartz, Isua stone, impactite, petrified palm root, labradorite, smoky quartz (and more)Connect with Kim:Podcast: Vessel & Voice (audio + video on YouTube)Social: @KimCharlson (most platforms)Free “Meet Your Spirit Guides” meditation + mini channeled course on bravery at: kimcharlson.com
