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 real
• Why many people are “channeling” more often than they think (especially intuitive crystal people)
• Using crystals as stable energy anchors to build discernment and psychic vocabulary
  • Kim 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 perspective
• The foundations of safe channeling: grounding, nervous system safety, opening energetic centers
• Why movement can be grounding (including ADHD-friendly approaches) and why there’s no one “right” method
• Important nuance: not everyone should channel, especially if dissociation is part of someone’s mental health picture
• Green flags vs red flags in channeled guidance
  • Empowering guidance vs “fear + shoulds + control” energy
• Kim’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 explanation
• Kim’s personal story: from marketing agency hustle, burnout, and a major health crisis… to energy healing and channeling
• Why it’s never “too late” to begin: your path can open at any age—and often does
