WEBVTT 1 00:00:10.359 --> 00:00:14.599 Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Faye, and 2 00:00:14.679 --> 00:00:17.960 I'm Deb Bowen, and we're so happy to have you here with us for 3 00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.160 our monthly Q and A. You guys have sent in some wonderful questions in 4 00:00:22.280 --> 00:00:26.519 some great stories, so just join us around the virtual teople DAB would you 5 00:00:26.559 --> 00:00:30.120 like to start us off? I sure would, Samantha. Before I do, 6 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.200 I would like to remind people that we get so many questions, and 7 00:00:35.280 --> 00:00:40.920 we do our very best to answer the ones that have a most universal impact. 8 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:44.640 So we hope that that's helpful for everybody. So let me begin with 9 00:00:44.759 --> 00:00:50.840 this lovely question. Greetings from a very far away place. I live in 10 00:00:51.000 --> 00:00:56.200 Poland and just stumbled upon your podcast and got interested. You may call me 11 00:00:56.280 --> 00:01:00.479 a skeptic with an open mind. So I was listening to an episode about 12 00:01:00.479 --> 00:01:04.400 crystals and I was wandering as you said that there is a crystal for every 13 00:01:04.400 --> 00:01:10.079 occasion. I have terrible anxiety. I am getting nervous when I have to 14 00:01:10.120 --> 00:01:14.239 deal with day to day stuff like dealing with other people. Is there a 15 00:01:14.280 --> 00:01:18.799 crystal for this? Since I like to tinker with stuff, I was thinking 16 00:01:18.920 --> 00:01:23.200 I could make a rosary or a bracelet to move it between my fingers when 17 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:27.079 I have a stressful moment at work or just try to think about things. 18 00:01:27.480 --> 00:01:32.359 Would it be a problem if I cut it or made it smaller? Oh? 19 00:01:32.400 --> 00:01:36.120 Okay? Also, is there a crystal I could present to my close 20 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:40.560 friend as she is going through a very stressful period in her life. She 21 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:44.120 is the sweetest and most generous person. I know that she is in a 22 00:01:44.239 --> 00:01:48.959 very dark place. Last question, Years ago, I heard this story that 23 00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:52.959 there was a drought in a country and people came to a rabbi and were 24 00:01:53.000 --> 00:01:57.640 asking him, we need a miracle, Please ask God for rain, and 25 00:01:57.680 --> 00:02:00.599 he said it's not going to work. There is no faith in you. 26 00:02:00.319 --> 00:02:06.319 Look, nobody brought an umbrella. Do you think crystals work despite lack of 27 00:02:06.359 --> 00:02:12.479 faith? Well? What great questions? You know. Years ago, Samantha 28 00:02:12.560 --> 00:02:16.879 and I there was a phrase going around and it was there's a something for 29 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:21.560 that, whatever it was, And so Samantha and I did a podcast episode 30 00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:27.080 entitled There's a rock for that, and we meant it and we believe it 31 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:32.280 that indeed there is energy exchange among us and stones and how we connect with 32 00:02:32.360 --> 00:02:37.759 the gifts at those stones spring. And then not long after that, we 33 00:02:37.800 --> 00:02:42.639 did another podcast episode that said there's not a rock for that, and what 34 00:02:42.719 --> 00:02:50.800 we meant by that second episode was that it is our connection and our trust 35 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:58.599 in the implicit intent of the stone that acts as a conductor between our energy 36 00:02:58.680 --> 00:03:01.560 and the stones energy. So on one hand, yes, Samantha's going to 37 00:03:01.599 --> 00:03:07.360 talk about stones that are very helpful with working with emotional issues such as anxiety. 38 00:03:07.639 --> 00:03:12.800 Are people who are very sad in stones that might be helpful for that? 39 00:03:13.000 --> 00:03:15.159 And I don't know where this person lives in Poland or what kind of 40 00:03:15.280 --> 00:03:21.759 access or she may have two stones cut already. But you can get beads 41 00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.000 in lots of different ways that you can make your own rosary front that they're 42 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:29.479 already shaped in circles for example, and spheres with a little hole through them, 43 00:03:29.520 --> 00:03:31.439 so you can make them into beads all the time. And of course 44 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:36.719 Samantha sells a lot of bracelets that have different intents, so she might want 45 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:39.280 to talk about those as well. So, yes, working with some kind 46 00:03:39.319 --> 00:03:45.080 of prayer bead is a lovely way to help with anxiety issues. So Samantha, 47 00:03:45.080 --> 00:03:49.000 you want to talk about specific stones, Yeah, I think lapidolite is 48 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:53.080 probably one of the best stones for anxiety. It does have some lithium qualities 49 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:58.039 to it, so it helps calm energy and creates a sense of enter pies. 50 00:03:58.639 --> 00:04:02.159 I think for anxiety and sadness that her friend is going through Botswana agg 51 00:04:02.240 --> 00:04:06.960 it is a fantastic choice. It's called the antidepressant stone. Smoky quartz is 52 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:11.960 always so good because smoky quartz looks like a clear quartz kind of filled with 53 00:04:12.120 --> 00:04:15.399 smoky gray. That's why it gets its name, and that smoky gray in 54 00:04:15.519 --> 00:04:20.639 that stone helps absorb any inner angst and sadness going on. And then I 55 00:04:20.680 --> 00:04:26.319 think any crystal for self love, like pray night or rose quartz would also 56 00:04:26.399 --> 00:04:30.000 be a great choice. Now, I do think that crystals work despite lack 57 00:04:30.000 --> 00:04:34.279 of faith. I only say that because when I first started working with crystals, 58 00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:38.879 it was when that stone just appeared on my desk at work and I 59 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:42.639 thought, what this rock can protect me? I did not believe it at 60 00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.959 all, and yet that stone did work for me. So while I love 61 00:04:46.040 --> 00:04:48.800 the story of you know you need to bring an umbrella if you're going to 62 00:04:48.879 --> 00:04:53.160 pray for rain and have faith, and I agree with that, I do 63 00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:56.160 feel that crystals work with us, whether we believe in them or not. 64 00:04:56.439 --> 00:04:59.720 I think crystals do their job no matter what we think. Yeah, I 65 00:04:59.759 --> 00:05:02.199 do too. Yeah. Our next one says, today, I was listening 66 00:05:02.240 --> 00:05:06.079 to your podcast on the Secrets of the Vatican on my way into work today. 67 00:05:06.600 --> 00:05:11.199 Towards the end of the podcast, you spoke briefly about EVP recordings, 68 00:05:11.240 --> 00:05:15.000 so I wanted to share my experience. During the pandemic. I was teaching 69 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:18.759 fully online. Everything was on video or audio. We have an educational app 70 00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:23.519 that I used for students to submit recordings of their instrument playing for grades. 71 00:05:24.120 --> 00:05:27.040 One day, I had an assignment turned in by a very sweet little girl. 72 00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:30.000 She turned the camera on and prepared to play the assigned song. As 73 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.800 she was getting her body organized and her fingers set on the strings, there 74 00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.839 was a voice that came through clear as day. It said, I'm with 75 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:44.240 her all the time. It made me laugh. I could only imagine some 76 00:05:44.360 --> 00:05:47.720 spirit that was feeling protective of this child and most likely worn out from the 77 00:05:47.759 --> 00:05:51.680 stress or of the pandemic. It almost sounded like this was a spirit that 78 00:05:51.720 --> 00:05:55.879 lived in the house and it was used to some quiet time at home alone, 79 00:05:55.920 --> 00:05:58.839 and now there was none. In any case, It made me smile 80 00:05:58.920 --> 00:06:01.040 to know if someone was looking out for our children stuck at home. The 81 00:06:01.160 --> 00:06:04.399 voice did not feel mean or scary to me, so I'm thinking it was 82 00:06:04.439 --> 00:06:09.480 okay, wow, all right. I hope it was okay, because if 83 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:13.519 a voice effort came through this microphone dump that said I'm with her all the 84 00:06:13.639 --> 00:06:16.879 time, I would be getting out the stage, the holy water, all 85 00:06:16.920 --> 00:06:20.399 of it. Isn't that interesting? That's where you went, you know where 86 00:06:20.399 --> 00:06:27.000 I went. I was trying to think of famous violinists who had passed on 87 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.680 who might be there to help her all the time. If I was trying 88 00:06:31.720 --> 00:06:39.959 to play a violin, I'd need somebody with me all the time. Okay. 89 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.519 Think about it. As a writer, I am forever calling on my 90 00:06:43.639 --> 00:06:46.439 muse. I know you are too. I would like that mused to be 91 00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:49.600 with me all the time because I'm writing a lot when I'm not writing, 92 00:06:49.720 --> 00:06:54.399 right, True, what's the difference between an old soul and a new soul? 93 00:06:55.160 --> 00:06:59.800 Our souls born? Where do they come from? Is one sober body 94 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:04.360 or one soul through lifetimes? Yikes? This is way too big a question 95 00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:09.279 for this episode, and we've done episodes on old souls and new souls in 96 00:07:09.319 --> 00:07:12.319 the past, by the way, but let me just give a very brief 97 00:07:12.480 --> 00:07:19.000 overview of this. One theory is that there's an energy source from which we 98 00:07:19.160 --> 00:07:26.879 individuate. We make a choice to come into an earth plane to learn human 99 00:07:27.319 --> 00:07:33.120 emotion lessons over the course of many lifetimes, and so when a soul chooses 100 00:07:33.199 --> 00:07:38.720 to individuate away from that energy source, it changes. So it may be 101 00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:43.160 that, for example, Samantha may be and I'm sure she is a really 102 00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:46.600 old soul, so many many many many, many, many many many lifetimes 103 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:53.240 ago, in what we on earth plane would call eons ago, Samantha chose 104 00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:58.240 to individuate and come to Earth to learn life lessons what it feels like to 105 00:07:58.360 --> 00:08:03.360 be in human embodiment. Newer souls are folks who do that more recently. 106 00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.439 Right, the process of the lessons learning is different because if you're an old 107 00:08:09.480 --> 00:08:11.959 soul, you've been working at learning these lessons a long time. If you're 108 00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:16.560 a new soul, you're newer at all of this, and the lessons are 109 00:08:16.600 --> 00:08:20.199 younger and different. And the answer to where do they come from is from 110 00:08:20.199 --> 00:08:24.839 this notion that we are really all one thing, that there's just really this 111 00:08:24.040 --> 00:08:31.319 energy source in the universe and beyond one soul per body I think so, 112 00:08:31.120 --> 00:08:37.639 and that one soul goes through many, many, many lifetimes, not only 113 00:08:37.960 --> 00:08:43.919 here on the Earth plane, but in that time and space between incarnations. 114 00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:52.159 So one soul traveling through time and space for eons. That's a very short 115 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:56.039 answer to a much more complex question. Well, I think you did a 116 00:08:56.080 --> 00:08:58.559 great job with that. I don't know that I'm an old soul. I 117 00:08:58.600 --> 00:09:01.039 think if we were going to look at souls in the form of like an 118 00:09:01.039 --> 00:09:07.200 average lifespan, maybe I'm thirty. So I don't know that I'm an old 119 00:09:07.200 --> 00:09:11.159 soul. But thank you for saying that. Yeah. I think that God 120 00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:15.320 Creator, the divine all that is, is a creator, and so I 121 00:09:15.360 --> 00:09:20.720 do think that that divine source is always creating. And one thing that this 122 00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.240 light, this divine Source, he she all creates is new souls. And 123 00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:28.480 so I do think that there are old souls and new souls. I do 124 00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.720 believe that souls are eternal. I think where it becomes challenging is the soul 125 00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:39.240 has to incarnate into a body that has genetic DNA, that has ancestry DNA, 126 00:09:39.440 --> 00:09:43.240 that has personality from all of that cellular memory. And I think that's 127 00:09:43.240 --> 00:09:48.919 where some challenges and confusion can arise, and I find it really fascinated to 128 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.039 think about that. Okay, Our next one says, I have a question 129 00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:58.519 about losing synchronicities and insight. I've always felt like an EmPATH and an intuitive. 130 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:01.279 Before COVID, it seemed to be getting stronger. I had dreams that 131 00:10:01.360 --> 00:10:05.320 came through crazy synchroticity. I saw someone I knew that it passed. I 132 00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:09.919 felt like I was headed in a direction and was excited. But now it 133 00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.799 seems to be gone. I feel sort of lost. Is it possible that 134 00:10:13.840 --> 00:10:18.360 I just had a connection temporarily that it's now gone. I miss feeling connected, 135 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:20.600 and I don't know what happened. You know, deb This is something 136 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:26.759 I've heard from a lot of listeners that something about that whole COVID lockdown kind 137 00:10:26.759 --> 00:10:31.399 of just shifted things for people, and it put us in this weird state 138 00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.639 of fear and anxiety and worry and this world is falling apart type mentality. 139 00:10:37.080 --> 00:10:43.639 And I think it did temporarily break a connection for many many people. What 140 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:48.279 I have learned though through my own experiences that connection is never really lost. 141 00:10:48.799 --> 00:10:52.960 You might be going through a stressful time, you might be going through some 142 00:10:52.039 --> 00:10:56.039 changes, There might be some inner energetic shifts that you're dealing with, but 143 00:10:56.120 --> 00:11:01.440 that connection is always there. And once your energy she calms down and kind 144 00:11:01.440 --> 00:11:05.600 of aligns and assimilates to this new normal that they keep calling it, and 145 00:11:05.720 --> 00:11:11.840 you get back into meditation and deep breathing and connecting within through periods of silence 146 00:11:11.840 --> 00:11:16.159 and solitude, all of that will start back up for you. You know, 147 00:11:16.240 --> 00:11:20.240 Samantha, I agree with you wholeheartedly. And I have found in my 148 00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:24.519 life, COVID or not, that when there have been times in my life 149 00:11:24.919 --> 00:11:30.039 where I have gotten very busy with the mundane world, with just life going 150 00:11:30.120 --> 00:11:37.879 on, and have walked away from kind of ignored that spiritual aspect of myself, 151 00:11:37.879 --> 00:11:41.000 that part of me that connects with at a soul level with my guides 152 00:11:41.039 --> 00:11:46.840 and so forth. That that happens, and when I kind of it feels 153 00:11:46.840 --> 00:11:48.600 almost like coming too out of a sleep, and I go, oh, 154 00:11:48.639 --> 00:11:52.600 my lord, I haven't sat down and talked to my guide a write good 155 00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:56.080 while. And so I do that. I go into a deep meditation, 156 00:11:56.120 --> 00:12:00.320 I go back into a meditation practice I may have neglected, and everything's okay, 157 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:03.480 it's okay, it's been there. It is me who has walked away, 158 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.039 not my connection. If that makes sense. Yeah, it really does, 159 00:12:09.080 --> 00:12:13.159 and it's a great reminder. Yeah. Okay. The next one says, 160 00:12:13.200 --> 00:12:18.039 I've listened to many of your past episodes, but don't recall this question 161 00:12:18.080 --> 00:12:24.679 being discussed. What are your thoughts about the properties of natural, unheated or 162 00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:30.960 untreated crystals versus those whose colors have been enhanced are changed with heat or radiation. 163 00:12:31.720 --> 00:12:35.240 I recently had a dream where I was instructed to get some topaz. 164 00:12:35.759 --> 00:12:39.039 No context or story. I recall, just a voice telling me to get 165 00:12:39.039 --> 00:12:43.120 that stone. Since I'm working on issues of creative self expression in my life, 166 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:48.279 I initially thought to find a blue topaz pendant. However, I've since 167 00:12:48.320 --> 00:12:54.480 read that natural blue topaz is rare and that the popular London or Swiss blue 168 00:12:54.519 --> 00:13:01.639 topaz are created by treating white topaz. I know this applies to other crystals 169 00:13:01.679 --> 00:13:05.519 as well, like citrine. Just treating a crystal alter its metaphysical properties and 170 00:13:05.840 --> 00:13:11.759 uses Samantha, why don't you start with that one? Well, I think 171 00:13:11.799 --> 00:13:16.360 this is in many ways a personal opinion. Yes, if you heat treat 172 00:13:16.399 --> 00:13:20.159 a crystal, it does affect its properties, and you, I think you 173 00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:26.600 always have to think about what is this stone? Originally and so originally this 174 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:31.399 blue tobas is a white topaz, so you need to look at the qualities 175 00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:35.679 of white topaz expressing itself through the qualities of the color blue. So I'm 176 00:13:35.720 --> 00:13:39.399 not a huge fan of heat treated crystals, but I know there are many 177 00:13:39.440 --> 00:13:43.440 people out there who will strongly disagree with me, and they will say that, 178 00:13:43.519 --> 00:13:48.000 oh no, no, when you add this element or that to this 179 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.519 stone, it makes it even more powerful, and that's great and wonderful. 180 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:54.519 I just love crystals for how they grow naturally, how they come to us 181 00:13:54.559 --> 00:13:58.879 on their own, without adding anything or creating them in a lab. I 182 00:14:00.120 --> 00:14:03.360 do think that it affects them and changes them a bit, not for the 183 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:05.600 worse, not for the better. Just it's a change, right. Think 184 00:14:05.600 --> 00:14:09.480 about you. If you have brown hair and you bleach it blonde, that's 185 00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:13.840 a change, right. So it's very similar with crystals. And I think 186 00:14:13.360 --> 00:14:18.240 if you love to look at the natural growth patterns of a crystal and know 187 00:14:18.360 --> 00:14:20.720 that it belongs to the earth and connected to nature, I think the untreated 188 00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:26.080 ones are really great. I don't think I own a treated crystal. I'll 189 00:14:26.080 --> 00:14:31.759 just leave it at that. Okay. Our next one says Samantha, I 190 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:35.120 just finished your book, The Awake Dreamer and wanted to share my thoughts. 191 00:14:35.240 --> 00:14:39.559 On page one seventeen, you talk about the relationship with your mom. Mine 192 00:14:39.679 --> 00:14:43.679 is with my narcissistic dad. I chose to have this abusive, angry man 193 00:14:43.759 --> 00:14:46.159 for my father. I understand that I chose them in this life of mine, 194 00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.080 but why. I've always questioned why my sister and I chose to not 195 00:14:50.440 --> 00:14:54.799 verbally, mentally and physically abuse our own children. We both feel like we 196 00:14:54.919 --> 00:15:00.200 somehow broke the mold. On page eighteen, you indicate that the Angel three 197 00:15:00.279 --> 00:15:03.679 Ladies told you you are breaking a generational chain. I love this. That's 198 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.840 what my sister and I have done. Not sure I totally understand the repercussions 199 00:15:07.840 --> 00:15:11.519 here. I have to say that I cried throughout that whole chapter two years, 200 00:15:11.559 --> 00:15:16.159 blurring the words on each page, feeling so very deeply the pain and 201 00:15:16.240 --> 00:15:20.279 suffering I have been through because of my childhood upbringing. I've been feeling signs 202 00:15:20.279 --> 00:15:22.759 of healing from within. I feel I'm on the cusp of a major breakthrough, 203 00:15:22.759 --> 00:15:26.320 of some kind of coming out of the darkness. Amazing insight and work 204 00:15:26.360 --> 00:15:30.759 you've accomplished here in these pages, I'm learning and leaps and bounds and healing 205 00:15:30.799 --> 00:15:33.519 in many ways. Well, thank you so very much for sharing that and 206 00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:37.960 for reading the book. I'm so glad that you answered your question. I 207 00:15:39.000 --> 00:15:41.960 feel in your question because you said, you know, why, why would 208 00:15:41.960 --> 00:15:48.039 I have chosen this mean, narcissistic, abusive man as my father? And 209 00:15:48.080 --> 00:15:50.799 then you say that you and your sister, who were raised by this man, 210 00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.559 do not continue that cycle. You do not verbally, mentally, or 211 00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:58.279 physically abuse your own children, which means, yes, you are here to 212 00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:03.639 break a general chain, and I think that is really important healing work. 213 00:16:03.399 --> 00:16:08.240 We are all here for many, many many purposes and many many many different 214 00:16:08.320 --> 00:16:14.840 lessons. But I think breaking a generational chain that has caused feelings of shame 215 00:16:14.960 --> 00:16:18.639 and guilt and sadness throughout so many family cycles, what could be more important 216 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:22.039 than that? And so the fact that you and your sister have banded together 217 00:16:22.159 --> 00:16:29.240 and chosen to break this chain and love your children unconditionally a man that you're 218 00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:33.399 doing the hard, wonderful soul work, and hats off to you, lovely. 219 00:16:34.440 --> 00:16:37.080 It's just amazing the number of people your book has touched, Samantha. 220 00:16:37.080 --> 00:16:41.200 It's a wonderful thing. Oh, thank you. Okay, let me tell 221 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.120 to the next one. I want to share a store with you. That 222 00:16:45.159 --> 00:16:48.440 happened to my mom. My grandmother passed away last year. While she was 223 00:16:48.480 --> 00:16:53.039 in bed, my mom took care of her every day. One frozen afternoon, 224 00:16:53.120 --> 00:16:57.440 my mom left my grandma's side for groceries, and when she returned, 225 00:16:57.879 --> 00:17:02.159 there was a huge hawk sitting on the porch in front of the door. 226 00:17:02.679 --> 00:17:07.039 As my mom got closer, it didn't move. It just sat there, 227 00:17:07.240 --> 00:17:11.559 staring straight in the eyes. She sat down the groceries and skated over the 228 00:17:11.759 --> 00:17:15.880 iced porch. The hawk was still, as if it were frozen too. 229 00:17:17.759 --> 00:17:22.799 She knelt down, wow and looked him back in the eye. She claims 230 00:17:22.839 --> 00:17:27.119 it was almost like he gave her a little nod and a screech before flying 231 00:17:27.160 --> 00:17:33.440 off. My mom knew what it meant, so she quickly opened the door, 232 00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.559 went to my grandma's side, and held her hand for her last breaths. 233 00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:41.839 Our family is part of the Cherokee tribe, and hawk is a sacred 234 00:17:41.880 --> 00:17:45.839 animal, a protector. When my mom saw the hawk, she knew he 235 00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:51.599 had come to help guide my grandma's spirit. When we had her celebration of 236 00:17:51.640 --> 00:17:56.839 life a few months later, a huge hawk circled overhead as if Grandma was 237 00:17:56.920 --> 00:18:03.160 dancing along with us. Wow. Wow, this is a lovely story. 238 00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.839 And you know, and I think this brings to my many things. One, 239 00:18:07.920 --> 00:18:14.759 what a blessing, what a marvelous gift, and how various animal people 240 00:18:15.359 --> 00:18:19.039 mean, various things and various cultures. And so she points out here that 241 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:25.920 she's talking from her Cherokee heritage and that hawk came to be a guardian to 242 00:18:25.960 --> 00:18:29.440 help her grandmother crossover, and I just I love that, and I love 243 00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:33.440 that the hawk came back and flew over during the celebration. That's just absolutely 244 00:18:33.480 --> 00:18:37.680 wonderful. I have to tell you, because if if you listened to this 245 00:18:37.720 --> 00:18:41.640 podcast for any length of time, you know that I have such a deep 246 00:18:41.680 --> 00:18:47.119 connection to hawks too. And I know I would not be brave enough to 247 00:18:47.200 --> 00:18:51.279 get that close to a hawk on my porch and kneel down in front of 248 00:18:51.319 --> 00:18:56.119 it. That would be absolutely terrifying to me. So so, but then 249 00:18:56.359 --> 00:18:59.759 reading that took my breath away. It's like, oh, my golly, 250 00:19:00.119 --> 00:19:03.240 but what a lovely story. And thank you for sharing that and reminding us 251 00:19:03.279 --> 00:19:07.599 that when we pay attention to the natural world around us, the natural world 252 00:19:07.599 --> 00:19:11.680 pays attention to us. Well, let's take a quick break to mention our 253 00:19:11.720 --> 00:19:15.960 sponsors, and then we'll get back to some more fascinating stories about signs and 254 00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:41.759 asking for signs from our people on the other side. Okay, welcome back. 255 00:19:41.079 --> 00:19:45.000 Our next one says I was intrigued and inspired by all the stories of 256 00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:51.559 asking and receiving specific signs from our guides. I asked for and this might 257 00:19:51.680 --> 00:19:53.640 sound weird. I'm not sure why I chose these, but I asked for 258 00:19:53.680 --> 00:19:57.160 a green chicken for if I'm on the right path, and a red chicken 259 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:00.400 if I need to rethink what I'm doing right now. I gave it three 260 00:20:00.480 --> 00:20:03.920 days. That morning, I saw someone with a Chick fil a bag which 261 00:20:03.960 --> 00:20:07.400 has a red outline of a chicken. This made me wonder if this was 262 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:11.839 it. I questioned it and asked for another red chicken, just in case 263 00:20:11.319 --> 00:20:15.920 I was okay with either colored chicken. Nothing came, So by day four 264 00:20:15.960 --> 00:20:18.720 I was in my car talking to my guide, saying, maybe I was 265 00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:22.160 too vague, maybe I should accept the first sign, Maybe my guides didn't 266 00:20:22.200 --> 00:20:26.200 hear me, maybe they aren't real, and so on. Anyway, I 267 00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.720 finally decided I was just overthinking everything, as is very much my thing, 268 00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:33.960 and turned on the radio. The song was Undercover Angel. I found that 269 00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:37.000 interesting. What do you make of this? I've been told I'm the queen 270 00:20:37.079 --> 00:20:41.160 of overthinking. Yeah, I think you might be. I think many of 271 00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:45.160 us have that issue where we just get way too much. I don't know 272 00:20:45.200 --> 00:20:48.680 that I've ever seen a green chicken, so I don't know. Deb you're 273 00:20:48.680 --> 00:20:51.519 more of the nature lady. You might know about that, But seeing the 274 00:20:51.559 --> 00:20:53.480 red chicken of the chick fil a bag, to me, that would be 275 00:20:53.519 --> 00:20:59.720 them giving their sign and maybe hearing the Undercover Angel song was their way of 276 00:20:59.720 --> 00:21:03.920 saying that your guides work pretty subtly. I think so too. You know, 277 00:21:04.119 --> 00:21:10.319 I think you're right. We do overthink. Indeed we do, and 278 00:21:11.359 --> 00:21:17.599 we forget that the universal energy has a sense of humor, and we forget 279 00:21:17.720 --> 00:21:22.079 that our literal minds think I need to see a red chicken, when an 280 00:21:22.160 --> 00:21:27.640 actuality you can see a symbol in red and there it is. So don't 281 00:21:27.640 --> 00:21:33.079 overthink and trust. That would be my biggest takeaway from this is trust the 282 00:21:33.119 --> 00:21:37.799 signs you get. Well. I think this next one illustrates that really well. 283 00:21:38.920 --> 00:21:45.240 Okay, I've asked my direct guide for their name, to see them, 284 00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:48.519 and for a sign, and I haven't gotten much of anything back from 285 00:21:48.559 --> 00:21:52.960 them. I've been working with a metaphysical counselor on and off for three years, 286 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.799 balancing my chakras and discussing things metaphysical. Once I was asked to say 287 00:21:59.160 --> 00:22:02.880 the first name that came to my mind, which could be my guide's name, 288 00:22:03.200 --> 00:22:07.559 and persephone came through. I've been told goddesses that God's typically aren't guides. 289 00:22:08.599 --> 00:22:12.319 I also wrote a letter to my guide asking to see them. I 290 00:22:12.359 --> 00:22:17.839 had a dream that a man wearing a trench coat and a comically large disguise 291 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:23.039 mustache was communicating with me on behalf of my guide. And finally, listening 292 00:22:23.039 --> 00:22:27.839 to your listeners stories of how frequently their requests for a sign has been given 293 00:22:27.880 --> 00:22:32.839 to them, I decided to ask for a sign. I ask, is 294 00:22:32.880 --> 00:22:36.279 it okay to ask for a sign just because you need a sign? If 295 00:22:36.319 --> 00:22:38.960 so, show me a pink car within the next three days. Here I 296 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.880 am writing you on day four. No pink car follow up. I just 297 00:22:45.000 --> 00:22:48.559 needed to follow up on my first email. I saw the pink car not 298 00:22:49.000 --> 00:22:53.920 two hours after I hit Sinned. After I had emailed, I pulled a 299 00:22:53.960 --> 00:23:00.279 t row card, and it was the judgment reversed in my research and meditation. 300 00:23:00.359 --> 00:23:03.400 I believe the universe is asking something of me, and I'm either choosing 301 00:23:03.440 --> 00:23:08.039 not to hear or I'm not paying close enough attention to me. I feel 302 00:23:08.079 --> 00:23:12.400 I get signs every day. I know I am connected to source and all 303 00:23:12.440 --> 00:23:17.519 the universal energies. I think my guide was telling me, we don't need 304 00:23:17.599 --> 00:23:21.400 to do this dog and Pony show. We don't need to get slowed down 305 00:23:21.480 --> 00:23:26.839 with insignificant details. When you need that sign or connection, it's already there. 306 00:23:27.640 --> 00:23:30.839 The reason I had asked for a sign is about two weeks before this, 307 00:23:32.359 --> 00:23:36.480 I had asked the universe for a sign if I was wrong. I 308 00:23:36.519 --> 00:23:40.839 connected a dream to a childhood trauma and felt the need to trust my intuition 309 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.519 because I have been wrong so many times in the past. I had told 310 00:23:45.559 --> 00:23:48.359 the universe, I'm going to believe this is truth, but if I'm wrong, 311 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:53.039 please send me a specific sign. I still haven't seen that sign, 312 00:23:53.359 --> 00:23:56.240 so when I wasn't seeing the pink car, I thought, well, maybe 313 00:23:56.240 --> 00:23:59.720 I was wrong about the first sign, since I'm not getting a follow up 314 00:23:59.759 --> 00:24:03.680 sign, and I feel much better having seen the pink car. We've all 315 00:24:03.720 --> 00:24:06.559 done that, haven't we. I mean, we have all doubted, We 316 00:24:06.599 --> 00:24:10.519 have all asked our guide for a sign and not really seen it or thought 317 00:24:10.559 --> 00:24:12.160 maybe that was it, maybe that wasn't it. I think we can all 318 00:24:12.160 --> 00:24:19.000 relate to this listener's story absolutely. When I was a little girl, I 319 00:24:19.039 --> 00:24:22.880 asked I got stood at the foot of my bed, as clear as as 320 00:24:22.920 --> 00:24:26.720 if he were a real person, and I would ask him his name, 321 00:24:26.920 --> 00:24:30.640 and he would laugh at me, and at some point he finally said, 322 00:24:32.240 --> 00:24:34.119 I don't care what you call me, call me what works for you. 323 00:24:36.119 --> 00:24:37.720 You didn't say it exactly like that, but that was the gist of it, 324 00:24:38.720 --> 00:24:42.319 because really don't have names. It's us that need the name. They 325 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:48.240 don't have names on the other side. So I named him and I said, 326 00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:51.440 is that okay? And he laughed and said yeah fine. And so 327 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:56.559 for more than sixty years, the name I called him as a child is 328 00:24:56.599 --> 00:25:00.160 still the name I call him, and that works just fine for both of 329 00:25:00.240 --> 00:25:06.200 us. Signs. I've come to realize in my practice this may not be 330 00:25:06.240 --> 00:25:11.640 true for anybody else, But in my practice I'm very specific and very clear 331 00:25:12.359 --> 00:25:18.119 and very consistent in when I choose to ask for a sign. I don't 332 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:23.680 deviate from that, and that has been very helpful to me to just randomly 333 00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.160 throw up I need a sign for X, Y and Z about this set 334 00:25:27.200 --> 00:25:32.039 and the other. It's not something I do on a daily basis. Most 335 00:25:32.079 --> 00:25:34.839 often, what I have found that works for me is, rather than asking 336 00:25:34.880 --> 00:25:41.720 for a lot of signs, is to just sit in meditation and be quiet, 337 00:25:41.480 --> 00:25:48.319 and the answers and the information I need comes to me. And at 338 00:25:48.359 --> 00:25:53.400 some point later in our spring programming, we're going to do an episode where 339 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:59.240 we investigate the question that probably many of you are asking right now, which 340 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:02.799 is how do I know it's my intuition or how do I know it's my 341 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:07.160 imagination? And we're going to talk a lot about that, because that's a 342 00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.640 lot of what really is being asked here. I think, what do you 343 00:26:10.680 --> 00:26:15.039 think about Persephone? Do you think those beings can be guides? No? 344 00:26:15.480 --> 00:26:19.119 I do not. But the other thing is, remember the name Persephone. 345 00:26:19.480 --> 00:26:23.599 It's just it's a name. I mean, there are people today in the 346 00:26:23.640 --> 00:26:27.759 world whose names are Persephone. You know, that's just a first name. 347 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:34.039 Persephone, the goddess from the Greek myth, is not a guide. She's 348 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:38.240 busy doing some other stuff. Okay, I agree, all right. Our 349 00:26:38.279 --> 00:26:41.559 next one says when I was pregnant with my firstborn, I was at a 350 00:26:41.599 --> 00:26:45.359 computer store, just browsing around when I looked at an image of a holographic 351 00:26:45.400 --> 00:26:49.119 type of the city with random stores and buildings and things that were part of 352 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.920 this picture. Well, I remember it like it was yesterday. As I 353 00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:56.680 was giving the different pictures and words, it was like the phrase in big 354 00:26:56.799 --> 00:27:02.799 bold letters literally jumped at me, completely startled me as I was taken back. 355 00:27:03.079 --> 00:27:06.119 I went to reread the phrase and it was just a normal font, 356 00:27:06.200 --> 00:27:10.119 no bigger than any of the other words or phrases. It read it's a 357 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.480 girl, and I knew in that moment, without a doubt, that I 358 00:27:12.559 --> 00:27:17.359 was having a baby girl. This has happened to me one other time since 359 00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:19.559 then, which was about six years ago, that I was reading something and 360 00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:22.799 the letters almost jumped at me as they looked bigger and bolder, with the 361 00:27:22.839 --> 00:27:26.880 same startling feeling. But when I reread what I'd just seen, the font 362 00:27:26.920 --> 00:27:30.759 was just regular font. But again what I read was the correct answer. 363 00:27:32.160 --> 00:27:34.480 Can I train this? Perhaps? And have you heard of anyone else doing 364 00:27:34.519 --> 00:27:38.240 this? I like to think that maybe it's my little psychic ability, and 365 00:27:38.319 --> 00:27:41.759 if I can strengthen that, I'd love to learn how to do so. 366 00:27:41.559 --> 00:27:47.359 Well. That's a really interesting way to get intuitive messages. I'm not familiar 367 00:27:47.400 --> 00:27:51.960 with that, but it is indicative of natural clairvoyance, which is connected to 368 00:27:52.000 --> 00:27:56.759 the third eye chakra. So I would recommend that you study clairvoyance and work 369 00:27:56.799 --> 00:28:00.799 on really honing, cleansing, balancing, and strengthening your third eye chakra, 370 00:28:00.920 --> 00:28:06.000 your brow chakra, and work on your visualization. One of my favorite ways 371 00:28:06.039 --> 00:28:08.880 to do that is to simply stare at a candle flame and then close your 372 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:14.000 eyes and visualize the candle flame in your mind's eye. You can also do 373 00:28:14.119 --> 00:28:21.000 visualization exercises like you can imagine a yellow circle and put a red triangle inside 374 00:28:21.039 --> 00:28:25.920 the yellow circle, and then a blue square inside the red inside the yellow 375 00:28:25.920 --> 00:28:30.319 and try to hold that. Any concentration exercises you can do, like counting 376 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.960 backwards from one hundred by threes, all of those are going to do so 377 00:28:34.039 --> 00:28:41.200 much to strengthen this wonderful ability of yours. Lovely good good suggestions. Our 378 00:28:41.240 --> 00:28:45.640 next one says, as I have recently started my conscious journey with mediumship, 379 00:28:47.240 --> 00:28:51.319 I wanted to have a sign that I am on the right path and taking 380 00:28:51.359 --> 00:28:56.880 with steps and really actually doing this. Shortly after, I began seeing numbers 381 00:28:57.279 --> 00:29:03.920 eleven eleven at one eleven or receiving eleven eleven in change in other moments of 382 00:29:03.960 --> 00:29:08.359 my life. I have frequently seen these numbers before and took it as something 383 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:12.400 nice, so I didn't realize it was a sign from my question to my 384 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:18.359 guides. I continued to ask for a sign until one night someone came to 385 00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.240 me in my dreams and said, we are showing you numbers. I instantly 386 00:29:22.279 --> 00:29:27.240 woke up. It was eleven eleven. I smiled and finally realized how silly 387 00:29:27.279 --> 00:29:32.759 I was not to have noticed before. I have really been wanting another baby 388 00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.240 and praying for twins, as this will most likely be my last time to 389 00:29:37.279 --> 00:29:41.599 get pregnant. I've been asking for a sign to know I'm ready, really 390 00:29:41.599 --> 00:29:47.400 ready for possible twins. I need fertility treatment, so twins as a possibility. 391 00:29:48.240 --> 00:29:52.039 The other day I was listening to you and you were talking about double 392 00:29:52.119 --> 00:29:56.480 rainbows. I thought, wow, I haven't seen a double rainbow in ages. 393 00:29:56.200 --> 00:30:00.440 Again. That night, I prayed and asked for a sign. The 394 00:30:00.599 --> 00:30:03.920 next day, my family and I were returning from a beautiful day in the 395 00:30:03.960 --> 00:30:08.319 countryside, not a drop of rain. Suddenly my husband says, look a 396 00:30:08.359 --> 00:30:14.000 double rainbow. I thought, could this really be for me? We are 397 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:18.000 all seeing this double rainbow. So that night I asked my guides, could 398 00:30:18.000 --> 00:30:22.519 you send me a sign a little more personalized. Then next day I went 399 00:30:22.559 --> 00:30:26.519 to buy a book from my niece where they speak Spanish in the country she's 400 00:30:26.559 --> 00:30:30.119 living in. As I went to check out, the cashier took out a 401 00:30:30.160 --> 00:30:34.759 little keychain from behind the desk and said, I don't know why, but 402 00:30:34.839 --> 00:30:38.839 I feel you need this. When I read it, I almost cried with 403 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:45.119 joy. The keychain, which was in English, said double rainbow power. 404 00:30:45.720 --> 00:30:49.240 I couldn't doubt the sign any longer. Thank you for teaching me to keep 405 00:30:49.279 --> 00:30:53.680 asking for signs. They really do come, even when you are hard headed 406 00:30:53.720 --> 00:31:03.279 like me. They really do. Because what's happening is, like we said 407 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:07.720 earlier, your guides are saying, Okay, one more here you go. 408 00:31:08.200 --> 00:31:11.480 Yeah, I got it this time. That's the way my God would talk 409 00:31:11.480 --> 00:31:15.160 to me. These lovely people probably have guides who don't talk to them that 410 00:31:15.200 --> 00:31:18.160 way, but that's the way my guide talks to me. It's like, 411 00:31:18.200 --> 00:31:21.880 Okay, one more time, Dan, So I'm so glad you're getting the 412 00:31:22.279 --> 00:31:26.720 signs you need. That's wonderful, it really is, and it just you 413 00:31:26.720 --> 00:31:30.680 know, I really do empathize with all of these listeners because I was exactly 414 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:34.160 the same way when I was trying to connect with my guides and feeling really 415 00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:38.400 silly and overthinking it and doubting it and wondering if it was my imagination. 416 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:41.000 And I did all of this, I would get a sign, and then 417 00:31:41.039 --> 00:31:45.119 I would ask again and again. But you know it does that. You 418 00:31:45.200 --> 00:31:48.559 often read test the sign three times. So I don't think we should be 419 00:31:48.680 --> 00:31:52.839 so harsh on ourselves. But I love that they're connecting with her in so 420 00:31:52.880 --> 00:31:56.440 many ways. First she's seeing the repeating numbers. Then they give her a 421 00:31:56.519 --> 00:31:59.480 dream that says, hey, you know, we're trying to show you numbers, 422 00:32:00.039 --> 00:32:02.279 so she starts paying attention to that. Then she gets the double rainbow 423 00:32:02.319 --> 00:32:07.920 signed twice when she's asking for twins. Okay, so now, dear listener, 424 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:09.440 you have to you have to get setting us an update, you know, 425 00:32:09.599 --> 00:32:14.279 let us know when the twins come. That's so exciting. Well, 426 00:32:14.319 --> 00:32:17.200 thank you guys so much for listening.
