The Empress & the Rock

 Are We There Yet? In this episode of The Empress & The Rock, we take a step back and look at something lots of people overlook when they’re trying to grow, change or build something new - the foundations.Before the expansion. Before the results. Before the “are we there yet?” moment.We chat about what it really looks like when things aren’t flowing yet, from Chris navigating the frustrations of learning Kundalini Yoga to me unpicking my crochet. Those moments where progress feels slow, messy or even like you’re going backwards.But this is the work.This episode is about recognising that grounding isn’t just something you ‘do’, it’s something you build. It’s the steady base that allows everything else to grow from a place of strength, rather than pressure or urgency.Through the energy of spring, we reflect on patience, timing and learning to stay with the process, even when the results aren’t visible yet.Because real growth doesn’t come from rushing ahead. It comes from being steady enough to hold what’s on its way.Connect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.

Spring Equinox – Finding Balance in a Season of AwakeningAs we move through the Spring Equinox, nature offers us a powerful moment of balance—equal light and dark, a pause before true growth begins. But this season of awakening isn’t always as clear or effortless as it seems.In this episode, we gently explore the idea of a “spring of deception”—those moments where growth can feel confusing, overwhelming, or even misleading. When everything is shifting, how do we know what’s truly aligned for us?Drawing on the wisdom of Crystal & Kundalini Yoga with the balance of the positive, negative, and neutral minds, you’ll be guided back to a place of clarity, trust, and inner steadiness.This episode includes a calming yet simple practices to help you:Find balance before moving forwardNavigate emotional and energetic shifts with easeReconnect to your own inner truth and timingA soft, grounding listen for anyone feeling the pull of change… but wanting to move through it with trust rather than pressure.Connect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.

Just keep swimming!In this episode of The Empress & the Rock, we talk about thresholds. Those in-between spaces where the old way of life or working no longer fits but the new one hasn’t crystallised yet. We reflect on how we have moved away from live crystal sales and the impact that has had on us plus wider business and life changes and how transitions can unsettle us, even when they’re the right thing to do. We explore what it means to keep trusting during uncertainty and why moments of panic, frustration and anger are normal parts of the change process. From swimming with manatees in Florida to Kundalini Breath Work, we look at how growth isn’t always about moving forward. Sometimes it’s about treading water, orientating yourself and waiting until the moment to move is genuinely right.Connect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.

Imbolc, Crystals & Forced Rhubarb In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, we welcome the Imbolc and  the Full Moon gently — without pressure, urgency, or the need to reinvent ourselves.As winter begins to soften and Imbolc approaches, we explore this sacred threshold between rest and renewal. A time when nothing looks fully formed, yet everything is quietly awakening beneath the surface.We share how Imbolc invites us to trust subtle momentum, honour natural rhythms in life and business, and allow the year to meet us in its own time. Drawing on our work with crystals and energy healing, we discuss supportive Imbolc crystals and how to work with them for surrender, clarity, and gentle new beginnings.The episode includes a short guided crystal meditation, helping you connect with the returning light, calm the nervous system, and nurture what is beginning to stir within you — without forcing it into bloom.This is an invitation to slow down, listen deeply, and tend the inner flame as the days gradually grow brighter.Perfect for:Winter reflectionImbolc ritualsGentle New Year intention-settingCrystal lovers seeking calm, grounded guidanceConnect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.

In this episode of The Empress and the Rock, our conversation is about entities.We explore what entities, spirits and energetic attachments really are, how they form and why they may attach to people or spaces. Vikki draws on her real-life experience and professional practice and shares how crystal therapy is used to safely and compassionately release ghosts, spirits, and narcissistic energetic attachments — without fear, force or confrontation.We discuss how hauntings occur, the difference between residual energy and conscious entities and why personal energetic boundaries are key to lasting protection. This episode is about education, empowerment and restoring balance through light, clarity and conscious awareness.DisclaimerThis podcast reflects our personal and professional spiritual practice and is shared for information purposes only.

In this episode, Chris and I talk about the deeper side of crystal therapy — the kind of work that isn’t always gentle or easy, but is often profoundly healing.I share some real life experiences that show how crystal therapy can open space for deep emotional release and powerful shifts. My Crystal Healing teacher told me early in my training that my future healing sessions wouldn’t be 'nice and fluffy', but would be about working with the heavy stuff, the deep stuff, the places where real change happens.We explore:• What a crystal therapy session with me actually looks like in practice• Why powerful sessions aren’t always comfortable, but are transformative• How clients experience release, insight and emotional breakthroughs• The responsibility of holding space for healing• Why this kind of work requires trust, courage and compassionIf you’ve ever wondered what happens beyond surface-level wellbeing, this episode offers an honest look at the depth, truth and beauty of crystal therapy when it’s used for real inner work.Connect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.

And most importantly, what can you do about it?We’ll share our favourite grounding crystals, simple techniques to tether yourself back into your body, and why nature — especially trees & crystals — might be the ultimate healers.So if you’ve been feeling scattered, unsteady or just in need of a big energetic exhale, this one’s for you.Plus as we mentioned in the podcast heres the link to book onto my Sacred Mornings 4 week course starting next week!!!!https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/shop/brand-new/sacred-mornings/Connect with us: explore our world of crystals, ritual and soul-led learning:Shop for crystals and crystal gifts https://vikkigadd.co.ukHow to work with me https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/product-category/crystal-therapy-treatments/Begin your journey into crystal energy healing with me, from courses to treatments https://www.vikkigadd.co.uk/courses/Follow us on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/vikkigadd_crystal/Join our newsletter for exclusive content, free resources & early course [email protected] Empress & The Rock is hosted by Vikki & Chris Gadd — partners in love, crystals, and a conscious business.
