In the first half, guest host Connie Willis (info) spoke with Sydney Songer, a gemstone therapist and psychic intuitive medium, about the metaphysical properties and therapeutic uses of gemstones. Songer explained that while all stones have an energetic presence, specific gems carry frequencies conducive to healing and protection. "There's a very small fraction of [stones] I would feel comfortable using on a person's body directly for what we would consider therapeutic or medical purposes," she noted. "You will never hear me telling someone to use a gemstone in place of medical intervention... There's a happy medium, and I highly encourage that."
Songer described gemstones as vibrational tools that can fortify the body's energy field, creating a shield against negative energies and entities. "There's this really interesting thing where energies or entities attach or piggyback onto people," she explained. She credits gemstones with strengthening her energetic boundaries, allowing her to recognize and repel these dark influences before they affect her. Addressing the difference between rough and polished stones, Songer claimed that raw gemstones emit energy in a more chaotic and uneven way, which may be less suitable for spiritual balance. "When they are in a raw shape, the energy is not going to be as evenly balanced... it can actually do damage if you point the wrong frequency at the wrong thing too long, like a laser beam," she cautioned.
She then touched on the cultural and spiritual uses of gemstones, including their role in protection rituals. Songer described how ancient cultures, such as those near the Navajo reservation, use gemstones to attract positive energies or repel negative ones. She also recounted hearing voices and experiencing unexplained phenomena while living near ley lines and Sedona's mystical landscape, known for its vortexes and dramatic rock formations.

Joe from Monterey shared his deep experience with gemstones, describing them as conscious entities with their own guardians.
