EP20: Struck by Lightning: Shamanic Awakening, Akashic Records & Energy Healing with Michele Lundstrom

On this episode of Enlightened Connections, I sit down with Michele Lundstrom - Shamanic Intuitive Channel, Akashic Records Reader, and former mental health therapist, for a deeply expansive and heart-opening conversation that bridges psychology, spirit, and the elemental world.

Michele shares how, even during her 20-year career in traditional therapy, she was quietly guided by ancestors, spirit allies, and intuitive knowing. Over time, she recognised that while cognitive processing has its place, true healing often requires something deeper; energetic, ancestral, and soul-level work. We explore the intersection between modern psychology and ancient wisdom, discussing where the systems support us, where they fall short, and how shamanic practices help address the root rather than the symptom.

One of the most extraordinary moments in Michele’s life came in 2019, when she was struck by lightning indoors during an unexpected storm. Surviving the strike, and clinically “gone” for several minutes, became what many indigenous traditions would call a shamanic initiation. Michele describes how the experience cleared trauma from her physical and energetic body and awakened what she now calls “lightning medicine” - a powerful channeled current of healing energy she runs through her right arm to support both people and the Earth.

We also dive into her remarkable remote water crystallography readings, inspired by her deep love of water and the work of Veda Austin. Michele explains how water communicates through frozen imagery, how it holds memory across time and space, and how she reads these crystallised messages as living oracle cards. From galactic memory to elemental gratitude, this part of our conversation opens an entirely new way of understanding consciousness.

Our discussion expands into channeling, star-seeds, awakening gifts, and the growing divide between those leaning into heart-centered awareness and those resisting it. Michele shares what she’s witnessing in her sessions; more people activating clear knowing, reconnecting with their intuitive senses, and remembering why they came here.

We close with practical guidance on reconnecting with the elements : Earth, air, fire, and especially water - and Michele offers one powerful message for the world: return to the heart. In a time dominated by the mind, she reminds us that the heart always knows truth.

This is a rich, soulful conversation about healing, remembrance, initiation, and the quiet power of living in alignment with nature and spirit.
