00:00:17.280 --> 00:00:20.920
<v Speaker 1>Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Samantha.

2
00:00:20.519 --> 00:00:22.719
<v Speaker 2>Fay, and I'm Deb Bowie. Oh.

3
00:00:22.719 --> 00:00:24.640
<v Speaker 1>We are so happy to have you join us for

4
00:00:24.719 --> 00:00:28.679
<v Speaker 1>our monthly Q and A show as we come to

5
00:00:29.079 --> 00:00:32.479
<v Speaker 1>pretty much the end of February, and that means spring

6
00:00:32.880 --> 00:00:35.960
<v Speaker 1>is right around the corner. I am so excited as

7
00:00:35.960 --> 00:00:39.679
<v Speaker 1>I sit here looking out at snow covering my lawn.

8
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.439
<v Speaker 2>I keep thinking of crocuses in the snow, and I

9
00:00:43.560 --> 00:00:47.280
<v Speaker 2>hear Jimmy Lou Harris singing roses in the snow. I

10
00:00:47.320 --> 00:00:50.240
<v Speaker 2>don't have any flowers in my snow, do you, Samantha.

11
00:00:50.119 --> 00:00:53.840
<v Speaker 1>No, just lots and lots and lots of snow.

12
00:00:54.359 --> 00:00:56.280
<v Speaker 2>Oh me too. I can't believe it. Here we are

13
00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:57.119
<v Speaker 2>in the sunny.

14
00:00:56.840 --> 00:01:00.799
<v Speaker 1>Sound, I know, but spring is coming. We can't wait.

15
00:01:00.880 --> 00:01:04.519
<v Speaker 1>In the meantime, let's all just pretend that we're sitting

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>together around a nice little fire on a cozy Sunday evening,

17
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:11.680
<v Speaker 1>and we're just going to share some wonderful stories and questions.

18
00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:13.079
<v Speaker 2>I'm ready.

19
00:01:13.159 --> 00:01:14.920
<v Speaker 3>That's wrong, Okay, I'm ready too.

20
00:01:15.079 --> 00:01:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I'll start our first one says my husband got up

21
00:01:18.439 --> 00:01:22.040
<v Speaker 1>one morning disturbed with a very lifelike dream that we

22
00:01:22.200 --> 00:01:25.599
<v Speaker 1>had divorced, and he said I was the happiest I

23
00:01:25.599 --> 00:01:29.439
<v Speaker 1>had ever been. Then the next morning, a coworker told

24
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:31.719
<v Speaker 1>me she had a dream about me the other night,

25
00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:34.519
<v Speaker 1>that me and my husband had divorced, and that I

26
00:01:34.640 --> 00:01:36.879
<v Speaker 1>told her I was the happiest I had ever been.

27
00:01:37.519 --> 00:01:39.760
<v Speaker 1>I told her about my husband's dream and how weird

28
00:01:39.840 --> 00:01:42.920
<v Speaker 1>that was. So it's not even been a week, and

29
00:01:42.959 --> 00:01:47.560
<v Speaker 1>now my husband unexpectedly quit his job. So I researched

30
00:01:47.560 --> 00:01:50.920
<v Speaker 1>divorced dreams and saw it doesn't always mean a mary

31
00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:53.519
<v Speaker 1>to divorce. It could be the ending of a job.

32
00:01:54.040 --> 00:01:56.640
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that since I was happy in both dreams,

33
00:01:56.680 --> 00:01:58.599
<v Speaker 1>this is a good change.

34
00:01:59.319 --> 00:01:59.879
<v Speaker 3>Yes, I do.

35
00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:04.079
<v Speaker 1>Most of our dreams that we have are symbolic, and

36
00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.159
<v Speaker 1>our subconscious mind can only speak to us through symbols.

37
00:02:08.199 --> 00:02:11.479
<v Speaker 1>That is the language of the subconscious. I wish the

38
00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.360
<v Speaker 1>subconscious were a little bit more clear and blunt. So,

39
00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:18.759
<v Speaker 1>for example, pregnancy dreams don't always mean you're going to

40
00:02:18.759 --> 00:02:22.400
<v Speaker 1>get pregnant. Usually they mean it's the birth of something new,

41
00:02:23.280 --> 00:02:26.479
<v Speaker 1>like a new job, or a new source of income,

42
00:02:26.639 --> 00:02:30.280
<v Speaker 1>or a new friendship coming to you. Same with divorce dreams,

43
00:02:30.280 --> 00:02:32.960
<v Speaker 1>they don't always mean divorce. It means an ending, a

44
00:02:33.039 --> 00:02:36.479
<v Speaker 1>break a breakup, So it could be the end of

45
00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.120
<v Speaker 1>a job, it could be the end of a friendship. Yes,

46
00:02:39.159 --> 00:02:41.560
<v Speaker 1>it can be the end of the marriage, but usually

47
00:02:41.680 --> 00:02:45.439
<v Speaker 1>it's more symbolic. So I would say that, yes, this

48
00:02:45.639 --> 00:02:49.560
<v Speaker 1>means that you're going to be very happy with the

49
00:02:49.599 --> 00:02:52.719
<v Speaker 1>new path your husband's going to take after leaving this job.

50
00:02:53.479 --> 00:02:56.520
<v Speaker 2>All right, Our next one says I'm a new listener

51
00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:00.000
<v Speaker 2>and seeker. I'll admit that prior to the last two years,

52
00:03:00.360 --> 00:03:04.120
<v Speaker 2>I was a staunch atheist and non believer. I'm a

53
00:03:04.159 --> 00:03:07.879
<v Speaker 2>psychiatrist and lived my life mostly based in science and

54
00:03:07.960 --> 00:03:11.840
<v Speaker 2>provable fact. Then my husband had an experience that I

55
00:03:11.840 --> 00:03:15.599
<v Speaker 2>could not ignore. Shortly after his mother died of cancer.

56
00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:19.000
<v Speaker 2>We were watching television when he started to tell me

57
00:03:19.039 --> 00:03:21.719
<v Speaker 2>that light was coming out of his body where his

58
00:03:21.759 --> 00:03:25.319
<v Speaker 2>solar plexus is. He said that the light was telling

59
00:03:25.400 --> 00:03:29.159
<v Speaker 2>him it's all going to be okay, and that quote

60
00:03:29.199 --> 00:03:32.560
<v Speaker 2>all of the pain is gone. He looked as though

61
00:03:32.800 --> 00:03:37.439
<v Speaker 2>he was incredibly happy and experiencing something or somebody that

62
00:03:37.560 --> 00:03:41.719
<v Speaker 2>I could not detect. I was watching, terrified on the couch,

63
00:03:42.159 --> 00:03:45.840
<v Speaker 2>hand clutching my phone, getting ready to call an ambulance

64
00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:49.159
<v Speaker 2>because I thought he was having a manic or psychotic break.

65
00:03:49.759 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 2>The whole episode lasted about five minutes, which felt like

66
00:03:52.879 --> 00:03:56.120
<v Speaker 2>hours to me. When he came back, he told me

67
00:03:56.159 --> 00:03:59.159
<v Speaker 2>that he had seen the light, and also that his

68
00:03:59.520 --> 00:04:03.159
<v Speaker 2>entire life flashed before his eyes, and that it ended

69
00:04:03.199 --> 00:04:07.599
<v Speaker 2>with him dying in my arms. Thankfully, when he died,

70
00:04:07.719 --> 00:04:11.520
<v Speaker 2>I appeared elderly. I really couldn't make sense of this.

71
00:04:11.599 --> 00:04:15.439
<v Speaker 2>For months, I kept watching, waiting for signs of any

72
00:04:15.520 --> 00:04:18.759
<v Speaker 2>kind of psychiatric illness, but none came. He was just

73
00:04:18.839 --> 00:04:22.639
<v Speaker 2>my husband, just more at peace. Since that time, I've

74
00:04:22.680 --> 00:04:26.199
<v Speaker 2>been exploring the things we cannot see. It has helped

75
00:04:26.199 --> 00:04:28.720
<v Speaker 2>me realize that I am intuitive and that I have

76
00:04:28.920 --> 00:04:33.480
<v Speaker 2>some spiritual gifts too. I was just wondering if either

77
00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:35.439
<v Speaker 2>of you had a take on this experience and what

78
00:04:35.519 --> 00:04:38.279
<v Speaker 2>it could have been. It was life altering in the

79
00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:42.199
<v Speaker 2>best possible way and really opened my mind and heart

80
00:04:42.279 --> 00:04:45.879
<v Speaker 2>to spirit love. Listening to your show on my way

81
00:04:45.879 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 2>to the hospital each morning. You both bring me so

82
00:04:49.160 --> 00:04:53.560
<v Speaker 2>much joy. Thank you so much for that comment. I'm

83
00:04:53.600 --> 00:04:57.199
<v Speaker 2>so glad that this listener is in a place where

84
00:04:57.240 --> 00:05:02.040
<v Speaker 2>she is open and receptive now to what she can't prove.

85
00:05:03.160 --> 00:05:07.639
<v Speaker 2>First of all, I have no doubts whatsoever that what

86
00:05:07.759 --> 00:05:12.600
<v Speaker 2>your husband experience was absolutely real. I don't deny in

87
00:05:12.639 --> 00:05:15.920
<v Speaker 2>any way the idea that he really did have this experience.

88
00:05:16.439 --> 00:05:19.079
<v Speaker 2>It may have been his mother talking to him. Who

89
00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:21.439
<v Speaker 2>knows what it was or where it came from. But

90
00:05:21.519 --> 00:05:25.199
<v Speaker 2>how life affirming it really was for him to have

91
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>that experience and for you to witness it, even though

92
00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.079
<v Speaker 2>it was probably kind of scary for you, as you

93
00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:34.079
<v Speaker 2>mentioned at the time, but later when you got a

94
00:05:34.160 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 2>way to telescope out and away from this experience, you've

95
00:05:38.040 --> 00:05:44.560
<v Speaker 2>come to some wonderful realizations about the continuity of consciousness

96
00:05:44.600 --> 00:05:48.240
<v Speaker 2>and the continuity of spirit and what life really is

97
00:05:48.279 --> 00:05:51.439
<v Speaker 2>all about, far beyond what we can see with our

98
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:55.399
<v Speaker 2>ordinary senses. A book we would recommend to you is

99
00:05:56.319 --> 00:06:01.240
<v Speaker 2>by doctor Raymond Moody. It's called Glimpses of Eternity. It's

100
00:06:01.360 --> 00:06:06.160
<v Speaker 2>a book on shared death experiences. I also think that

101
00:06:07.879 --> 00:06:12.920
<v Speaker 2>when we become open to the world and what we're

102
00:06:13.000 --> 00:06:16.120
<v Speaker 2>learning from it in a different way as you have been,

103
00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:19.639
<v Speaker 2>where you're willing to undertake the idea of being an

104
00:06:19.720 --> 00:06:22.920
<v Speaker 2>intuitive and that you have all these spiritual gifts, and

105
00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:23.959
<v Speaker 2>that's a wonderful thing.

106
00:06:24.439 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 1>I think this is such a cool experience because the

107
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:31.879
<v Speaker 1>fact that he was laying on the couch relaxing and

108
00:06:31.920 --> 00:06:34.399
<v Speaker 1>he had this light come out of his solar plexus.

109
00:06:34.839 --> 00:06:38.720
<v Speaker 1>A lot of people think that our connection to our

110
00:06:38.800 --> 00:06:42.439
<v Speaker 1>soul body like when we askt will travel. It's been

111
00:06:42.480 --> 00:06:44.720
<v Speaker 1>described as being either in the heart chakra or the

112
00:06:44.720 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>solar plexus chakra. I think it was Sulvan Muldoon who

113
00:06:48.240 --> 00:06:50.920
<v Speaker 1>said his was in the third eye chakra, but for

114
00:06:51.000 --> 00:06:52.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people, it is right there in the

115
00:06:52.639 --> 00:06:56.000
<v Speaker 1>solar plexus. I think his mother came to visit him.

116
00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.680
<v Speaker 1>I think he had a shared almost like a near

117
00:06:59.720 --> 00:07:02.560
<v Speaker 1>death experience. I think his mother was so excited that

118
00:07:02.680 --> 00:07:05.240
<v Speaker 1>her pain has gone, that she's okay, that life goes on.

119
00:07:05.720 --> 00:07:08.079
<v Speaker 1>She had to share it with the person she loves

120
00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:10.680
<v Speaker 1>so much here in this world. And I think in

121
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.560
<v Speaker 1>doing that he kind of got like his own life review.

122
00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:15.680
<v Speaker 1>Doesn't it sound like that?

123
00:07:16.319 --> 00:07:18.839
<v Speaker 2>Sounds like he certainly had an opportunity to really connect

124
00:07:18.839 --> 00:07:20.879
<v Speaker 2>with his spiritual being in some way, doesn't it.

125
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.560
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, how amazing, What a miracle and a gift he

126
00:07:24.720 --> 00:07:28.240
<v Speaker 1>was able to experience that. But how cool for our

127
00:07:28.319 --> 00:07:32.519
<v Speaker 1>psychiatrist listener friend, as you said, who's super left brain

128
00:07:32.720 --> 00:07:37.079
<v Speaker 1>and obviously very smart to have this experience. Now she's

129
00:07:37.120 --> 00:07:40.399
<v Speaker 1>going to be able to see both sides every situation,

130
00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.759
<v Speaker 1>which I think is really really cool. I would also recommend,

131
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:47.519
<v Speaker 1>in addition to Glimpses of Eternity, which is just a

132
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.839
<v Speaker 1>book about people who have had experiences exactly like this.

133
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.079
<v Speaker 1>So I think both you and your husband would really

134
00:07:53.120 --> 00:07:53.959
<v Speaker 1>get a lot out of it.

135
00:07:54.399 --> 00:07:55.519
<v Speaker 3>But there's also the.

136
00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.560
<v Speaker 1>Noetic Science Institute, and I think, being a psychiatrist, don't

137
00:07:59.560 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 1>you think this listener would love the research there?

138
00:08:02.800 --> 00:08:06.399
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely? That is a wonderful website for all sorts of

139
00:08:06.439 --> 00:08:08.160
<v Speaker 2>fascinating information.

140
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:09.920
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, and they have classes.

141
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.319
<v Speaker 1>Most of them are all on zoom or also anything

142
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>with Dean Rayden Real Magic I think would be a

143
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:19.800
<v Speaker 1>great one to read too. Okay, Our next one says,

144
00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:23.279
<v Speaker 1>my dad was not close with his parents, and unfortunately,

145
00:08:23.279 --> 00:08:25.680
<v Speaker 1>when my sister and I hit our teens, their contact

146
00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>with us became limited as well. When they passed, I

147
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.800
<v Speaker 1>hadn't spoken to them in over twenty years. Fast forward

148
00:08:31.879 --> 00:08:33.960
<v Speaker 1>to when my youngest was two and a half years old.

149
00:08:34.240 --> 00:08:36.919
<v Speaker 1>It's midnight, I'm lying in bed with my husband, when

150
00:08:36.960 --> 00:08:39.200
<v Speaker 1>all of a sudden, I hear my daughter yelling a

151
00:08:39.320 --> 00:08:43.159
<v Speaker 1>boo over and over again in her bedroom. She's in

152
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:46.279
<v Speaker 1>her bedroom, door closed and is having what sounds like

153
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:49.879
<v Speaker 1>a rousing game of peekaboo by herself. I listen a

154
00:08:49.919 --> 00:08:52.879
<v Speaker 1>little longer, and when she doesn't stop after a minute

155
00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:54.840
<v Speaker 1>or so, I go into her room to tell her

156
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:57.759
<v Speaker 1>it's time to settle down. When I open the door,

157
00:08:58.159 --> 00:09:00.919
<v Speaker 1>I see her sitting up in her crib, covering her

158
00:09:00.960 --> 00:09:05.399
<v Speaker 1>eyes and facing the wall opposite, and then goes boo.

159
00:09:05.559 --> 00:09:07.639
<v Speaker 1>I admit I was a little freaked out about it,

160
00:09:08.200 --> 00:09:10.320
<v Speaker 1>since our house is one hundred and forty years old.

161
00:09:10.360 --> 00:09:13.039
<v Speaker 1>I spoke with the psychic medium friend about it. She

162
00:09:13.200 --> 00:09:16.080
<v Speaker 1>told me it was my grandmother who had come to

163
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:19.279
<v Speaker 1>visit my daughter. I was so surprised by this because

164
00:09:19.440 --> 00:09:21.799
<v Speaker 1>I honestly hadn't thought about my dad's parents in a

165
00:09:21.840 --> 00:09:24.639
<v Speaker 1>long time, and wouldn't have even guessed that they would

166
00:09:24.720 --> 00:09:27.080
<v Speaker 1>ever be interested in great grandchildren.

167
00:09:27.080 --> 00:09:27.759
<v Speaker 3>They never met.

168
00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.440
<v Speaker 1>The midnight peekaboo game never happened again, and now I

169
00:09:31.480 --> 00:09:33.919
<v Speaker 1>wonder if they ever do visit us still, even though

170
00:09:33.919 --> 00:09:37.559
<v Speaker 1>we weren't on good terms for years. Well, I think

171
00:09:37.600 --> 00:09:42.000
<v Speaker 1>that when families don't talk like this, there's so many reasons,

172
00:09:42.039 --> 00:09:44.080
<v Speaker 1>and there's his side and her side, and my side

173
00:09:44.080 --> 00:09:48.200
<v Speaker 1>and their side, and it gets very, very complicated and convoluted. However,

174
00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:51.799
<v Speaker 1>the bond of love is eternal, and I have no

175
00:09:52.080 --> 00:09:56.159
<v Speaker 1>doubt that your grandmother was popping in to visit and

176
00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:59.559
<v Speaker 1>just see how you're doing, and see what her great

177
00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.559
<v Speaker 1>granddaughter was all about, and play a little game with her.

178
00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:05.639
<v Speaker 1>I told everyone on the show many times about the

179
00:10:05.679 --> 00:10:09.000
<v Speaker 1>time I saw that little Irish man leaning over my

180
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:12.720
<v Speaker 1>daughter's basinette when she was first born, and you know,

181
00:10:12.759 --> 00:10:15.159
<v Speaker 1>we had the bassinet right next to the bed, and

182
00:10:15.240 --> 00:10:18.519
<v Speaker 1>he was singing a song in Gaelic. And it was

183
00:10:18.720 --> 00:10:21.960
<v Speaker 1>years later that I found out it was my former

184
00:10:22.080 --> 00:10:26.960
<v Speaker 1>husband's great grandfather. And that still astounds me that someone

185
00:10:27.200 --> 00:10:30.320
<v Speaker 1>no one alive has ever met would take the time

186
00:10:30.519 --> 00:10:33.320
<v Speaker 1>to come and visit my daughter when she was first born.

187
00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.240
<v Speaker 1>We don't know what all of the soul connections are.

188
00:10:37.480 --> 00:10:40.399
<v Speaker 1>You know, your grandmother could have a special soul connection

189
00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.320
<v Speaker 1>with your daughter that you might not be aware of.

190
00:10:43.960 --> 00:10:46.759
<v Speaker 1>But also I think it is just the bonds of family,

191
00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.480
<v Speaker 1>and when families stopped talking and they aren't close, there's

192
00:10:51.519 --> 00:10:53.600
<v Speaker 1>a lot of pain there and a lot of regret.

193
00:10:53.720 --> 00:10:56.600
<v Speaker 1>And a lot of sadness, and maybe your grandmother is

194
00:10:56.679 --> 00:10:58.960
<v Speaker 1>just trying to make peace with all of that. But

195
00:10:59.039 --> 00:11:01.080
<v Speaker 1>the listener did send a us video and it is

196
00:11:01.120 --> 00:11:03.919
<v Speaker 1>a really cool thing to see playing Peekaboo all by yourself.

197
00:11:04.519 --> 00:11:08.799
<v Speaker 2>Our next one says, recently, my witchy friend and I

198
00:11:08.879 --> 00:11:13.399
<v Speaker 2>were talking about spirit animals animal guides. She suggested that

199
00:11:13.480 --> 00:11:16.559
<v Speaker 2>mine may be a spider, because they always seem to

200
00:11:16.559 --> 00:11:19.440
<v Speaker 2>find me no matter where I am. I live in

201
00:11:19.480 --> 00:11:22.519
<v Speaker 2>a house with three other people, and without a doubt,

202
00:11:22.600 --> 00:11:24.720
<v Speaker 2>I will always be the one to come across a

203
00:11:24.799 --> 00:11:28.919
<v Speaker 2>spider at all times of the year. However, I am

204
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:32.960
<v Speaker 2>petrified of spiders. I know you've covered this topic before,

205
00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.320
<v Speaker 2>but I'm wondering if it is possible for us to

206
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:38.360
<v Speaker 2>be scared of our spirit animal. I may have a

207
00:11:38.360 --> 00:11:43.480
<v Speaker 2>lot of explaining to do for mine if that's the case. Okay,

208
00:11:43.679 --> 00:11:46.080
<v Speaker 2>there are lots of things to unpack in this lovely

209
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.559
<v Speaker 2>concise email. First of all, Spider may not be your

210
00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:55.480
<v Speaker 2>spirit animal person. Spider just may be a teacher for you.

211
00:11:56.000 --> 00:11:58.919
<v Speaker 2>I think we all have lots of different animal folks

212
00:11:59.159 --> 00:12:02.360
<v Speaker 2>who work with us. But if your sense is that

213
00:12:02.519 --> 00:12:07.600
<v Speaker 2>Spider is your primary teacher, then I would invite you

214
00:12:08.000 --> 00:12:12.799
<v Speaker 2>to look at all the wonderful gifts that Spider give us,

215
00:12:14.080 --> 00:12:19.000
<v Speaker 2>one of which is that in many indigenous cultures, creation

216
00:12:19.279 --> 00:12:23.840
<v Speaker 2>stories center around spider. In Lakota, for example, spider is

217
00:12:23.879 --> 00:12:27.799
<v Speaker 2>called Ectomy, and Ectomy is the weaver of stories, the

218
00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:31.559
<v Speaker 2>weaver of truth. Spider is who teaches us white writing.

219
00:12:32.000 --> 00:12:35.480
<v Speaker 2>For example, Spider is the weaver. If you look at

220
00:12:35.519 --> 00:12:40.000
<v Speaker 2>Greek mythology and you see the legend of Arackney an

221
00:12:40.000 --> 00:12:43.879
<v Speaker 2>Ariadne and the big weaving contests they had, and oh, shoot,

222
00:12:43.960 --> 00:12:50.240
<v Speaker 2>I've got the goddess wrong. Maybe I think it was Athena. Okay,

223
00:12:50.399 --> 00:12:53.200
<v Speaker 2>let's try that. In any case, the god is that.

224
00:12:53.279 --> 00:12:56.879
<v Speaker 2>I think it was Athena lost the weaving contest to

225
00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:00.279
<v Speaker 2>a mortal named Arackney, and she was so angry that

226
00:13:00.320 --> 00:13:03.440
<v Speaker 2>she turned Erecne into a spider. And that's where the

227
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.440
<v Speaker 2>scientific name for spider comes from. There's some kinds of

228
00:13:06.480 --> 00:13:11.559
<v Speaker 2>spiders whose webs, the actual thread of their webs, is

229
00:13:11.600 --> 00:13:15.039
<v Speaker 2>stronger than almost anything else on earth. They're just wonderful beas.

230
00:13:16.279 --> 00:13:18.720
<v Speaker 2>So look at all the gifts that spider give us

231
00:13:18.799 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 2>in that way, And yes, I understand being petrified of

232
00:13:25.919 --> 00:13:31.360
<v Speaker 2>your connection to your primary animal person. Everybody who listens

233
00:13:31.399 --> 00:13:34.120
<v Speaker 2>to this podcast knows that Hawk and I have been

234
00:13:34.159 --> 00:13:36.720
<v Speaker 2>together for a very long time, and Hawk is a

235
00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:41.960
<v Speaker 2>great teacher for me. Folks, if I were at your

236
00:13:41.960 --> 00:13:44.600
<v Speaker 2>house and there was a spider there, I would have

237
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:47.440
<v Speaker 2>a conversation with the spider. I would put the spider,

238
00:13:47.480 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 2>perhaps on a dustpan or a piece of paper, and

239
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:54.240
<v Speaker 2>gently walk the spider outside. I would be just fine.

240
00:13:54.320 --> 00:13:56.360
<v Speaker 2>If I was at your house and you had a

241
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.559
<v Speaker 2>parakeet in a cage, I would beg you not to

242
00:14:01.559 --> 00:14:03.080
<v Speaker 2>make me sit in the same room with that bird

243
00:14:03.120 --> 00:14:08.120
<v Speaker 2>in that cage. I am beyond reason terrified of birds.

244
00:14:08.559 --> 00:14:11.360
<v Speaker 2>It's a long and convoluted story, goes through many lifetimes.

245
00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:15.240
<v Speaker 2>I get all of that, and yet here I am

246
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.519
<v Speaker 2>with a hawk as my primary teacher. So I would

247
00:14:18.600 --> 00:14:21.840
<v Speaker 2>say to you that, yes, it is indeed possible. And

248
00:14:21.879 --> 00:14:26.360
<v Speaker 2>I would say that, rather than focusing on your fear,

249
00:14:27.120 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>think in terms of the gifts that person is giving you,

250
00:14:30.559 --> 00:14:32.919
<v Speaker 2>and try that in that direction and see if that

251
00:14:33.279 --> 00:14:36.159
<v Speaker 2>is helpful to you. And you can still be afraid,

252
00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.519
<v Speaker 2>but you will find yourself being braver. And I'm kind

253
00:14:39.519 --> 00:14:42.120
<v Speaker 2>of joking about the parakeet in the cage. I've reached

254
00:14:42.120 --> 00:14:44.639
<v Speaker 2>a point where I'm better. I'm still want to be

255
00:14:44.679 --> 00:14:47.919
<v Speaker 2>in a house with one. I'm certainly happy being outside

256
00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:50.759
<v Speaker 2>and folks flying around me. And that's okay. We'll give

257
00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.519
<v Speaker 2>yourself some time and ask for help and guidance from that,

258
00:14:53.720 --> 00:14:57.240
<v Speaker 2>and you'll get it. You'll be amazed. I recommend Ted

259
00:14:57.320 --> 00:15:00.720
<v Speaker 2>Andrew's wonderful book Animill Speak to the That is an

260
00:15:00.799 --> 00:15:04.360
<v Speaker 2>amazing book to help you work with your connection with

261
00:15:04.399 --> 00:15:05.759
<v Speaker 2>your animal folks.

262
00:15:06.000 --> 00:15:09.320
<v Speaker 1>All right, I have a silly question. I know you

263
00:15:09.399 --> 00:15:14.240
<v Speaker 1>call everything or for legged friends, in this case eight

264
00:15:14.320 --> 00:15:17.600
<v Speaker 1>legged friend. But when I think of animal guides, I

265
00:15:17.639 --> 00:15:18.720
<v Speaker 1>don't think of insects.

266
00:15:19.720 --> 00:15:22.360
<v Speaker 2>Oh no, Samantha, stop.

267
00:15:22.080 --> 00:15:23.080
<v Speaker 3>I mean, I just don't.

268
00:15:23.399 --> 00:15:25.360
<v Speaker 1>But now that I think about it, I guess you

269
00:15:25.360 --> 00:15:28.320
<v Speaker 1>could have like a bumblebee as your guide. But what

270
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:31.279
<v Speaker 1>I'm asking is, could she have an animal guide and

271
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:32.720
<v Speaker 1>an insect guide?

272
00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:35.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh dear, all right, let's do this again. Let me

273
00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:39.600
<v Speaker 2>walk you through the dab language of this and most

274
00:15:39.679 --> 00:15:43.799
<v Speaker 2>indigenous cultures that I know of. There is no word

275
00:15:43.840 --> 00:15:48.759
<v Speaker 2>for animal. The word animal doesn't exist. Instead, we speak

276
00:15:48.840 --> 00:15:53.519
<v Speaker 2>of nations or peoples with an as people's plural, and

277
00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:57.320
<v Speaker 2>there's no hierarchy. So when you think about insects or

278
00:15:57.320 --> 00:16:00.559
<v Speaker 2>bugs or whatever, most folks think, oh, they're lower on

279
00:16:00.600 --> 00:16:03.360
<v Speaker 2>the chain than elephants. No no, no, no, no, no no.

280
00:16:04.279 --> 00:16:07.840
<v Speaker 2>Everybody has a place in the gift giving circle. And

281
00:16:07.879 --> 00:16:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that's what it is. A circle, and there's nobody in

282
00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:14.799
<v Speaker 2>the middle. We often think conceive of ourselves as two

283
00:16:14.919 --> 00:16:17.360
<v Speaker 2>leggeds as being in the middle of that circle, and

284
00:16:17.399 --> 00:16:21.279
<v Speaker 2>we're not. Here's the language you've heard me use. Two leggeds,

285
00:16:21.759 --> 00:16:29.919
<v Speaker 2>four leggeds, swimming, crawling, flying, and standing people. So that

286
00:16:30.039 --> 00:16:33.480
<v Speaker 2>encompasses two legged people like us, four legged people like

287
00:16:33.519 --> 00:16:37.120
<v Speaker 2>we think of animal people with four legs. Swimming, that

288
00:16:37.200 --> 00:16:41.240
<v Speaker 2>includes everybody who lives in water. Crawling is all those

289
00:16:41.759 --> 00:16:45.639
<v Speaker 2>people that you're describing bugs and spiders and insects, and

290
00:16:45.679 --> 00:16:49.080
<v Speaker 2>that doesn't just mean birds. That means bats and butterflies

291
00:16:49.200 --> 00:16:54.039
<v Speaker 2>and bumblebees. And then standing people are all the plant people,

292
00:16:54.639 --> 00:17:00.519
<v Speaker 2>the mushroom, the mysilium people, and the rock people. Mother

293
00:17:00.559 --> 00:17:01.559
<v Speaker 2>Earth for sale.

294
00:17:02.879 --> 00:17:03.399
<v Speaker 3>I love that.

295
00:17:03.639 --> 00:17:06.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you see the news story recently of the cow

296
00:17:06.799 --> 00:17:08.039
<v Speaker 1>who learned to use tools?

297
00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.799
<v Speaker 3>No, Oh, it is so sweet.

298
00:17:12.079 --> 00:17:15.880
<v Speaker 1>She has learned how to use a brush to scratch herself.

299
00:17:16.880 --> 00:17:17.799
<v Speaker 2>Oh, for goodness sake.

300
00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:21.400
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, she's an absolutely beautiful, beautiful cow.

301
00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:22.519
<v Speaker 2>I had not seen that.

302
00:17:22.960 --> 00:17:23.720
<v Speaker 3>Our next one.

303
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:26.519
<v Speaker 1>Says, I had a crazy dream. I dreamt I was

304
00:17:26.559 --> 00:17:28.799
<v Speaker 1>walking down a city street, and I think it might

305
00:17:28.799 --> 00:17:31.519
<v Speaker 1>have been a place like heaven or the astral plane,

306
00:17:31.599 --> 00:17:36.039
<v Speaker 1>because I felt absolute peace, love, harmony, tranquility, and serenity.

307
00:17:36.240 --> 00:17:40.039
<v Speaker 1>I felt so safe. I can't express enough how wonderful

308
00:17:40.079 --> 00:17:42.839
<v Speaker 1>I felt in this dream. As I'm walking down the

309
00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:45.200
<v Speaker 1>city street, I noticed up ahead there's a man on

310
00:17:45.240 --> 00:17:47.640
<v Speaker 1>the other side of the road. He motioned for me

311
00:17:47.680 --> 00:17:50.119
<v Speaker 1>to come over, so I did. When I got there,

312
00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:52.920
<v Speaker 1>he said, hello, it's good to see you again. I

313
00:17:52.960 --> 00:17:56.119
<v Speaker 1>looked at him a little puzzled, but he also felt familiar.

314
00:17:56.640 --> 00:17:59.880
<v Speaker 1>It was a strange yet familiar feeling. Anyway, he goes,

315
00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:02.359
<v Speaker 1>last time you were here, I took your picture. Do

316
00:18:02.400 --> 00:18:04.599
<v Speaker 1>you want to see it? I said, yes, I would

317
00:18:04.640 --> 00:18:05.200
<v Speaker 1>love to see it.

318
00:18:05.240 --> 00:18:05.559
<v Speaker 3>Thank you.

319
00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.319
<v Speaker 1>He pulls out this picture, and when I first looked

320
00:18:08.319 --> 00:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>at it, a symbol flashed before my eyes was really bright,

321
00:18:12.240 --> 00:18:13.119
<v Speaker 1>almost blinding.

322
00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:14.160
<v Speaker 3>For a split second.

323
00:18:14.640 --> 00:18:17.880
<v Speaker 1>It looked like the symbol of the flower of life. Then,

324
00:18:17.920 --> 00:18:20.279
<v Speaker 1>as I'm starting to focus in on the picture, I

325
00:18:20.359 --> 00:18:22.759
<v Speaker 1>see myself by the street lamp that I was currently

326
00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:26.240
<v Speaker 1>standing under. It was surreal because I was aware that

327
00:18:26.319 --> 00:18:29.279
<v Speaker 1>I was dreaming this. I was lucid. It was incredible

328
00:18:29.319 --> 00:18:32.000
<v Speaker 1>and felt so magical. I felt like I was in

329
00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:34.559
<v Speaker 1>heaven or a place comparable to that feeling of love.

330
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.960
<v Speaker 1>I want to go back. I've never really had a

331
00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:40.240
<v Speaker 1>dream like that before. I've dreamt of a photograph before,

332
00:18:40.319 --> 00:18:42.880
<v Speaker 1>but nothing with the symbol that flashed before my eyes.

333
00:18:43.359 --> 00:18:45.559
<v Speaker 1>I just thought I would send this. It was remarkable

334
00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:47.599
<v Speaker 1>for me. Thank you for your show. I've been a

335
00:18:47.599 --> 00:18:51.400
<v Speaker 1>faithful listener for years. I'm a flower grower. I spend

336
00:18:51.480 --> 00:18:54.039
<v Speaker 1>most of my time alone with the plants and Samantha

337
00:18:54.160 --> 00:18:56.960
<v Speaker 1>and Deb in my ears. Thank you times a million

338
00:18:57.000 --> 00:18:59.160
<v Speaker 1>for the work you do. The world is a lot

339
00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:02.279
<v Speaker 1>less lonely. Oh, thank you so much for that. And

340
00:19:02.359 --> 00:19:05.039
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to share that last bit because Deb,

341
00:19:05.119 --> 00:19:07.599
<v Speaker 1>I love hearing what people do while they're listening to

342
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:10.119
<v Speaker 1>our show. Doesn't It does feel really neat to think

343
00:19:10.160 --> 00:19:12.680
<v Speaker 1>about people at work or driving to work, or in

344
00:19:12.720 --> 00:19:14.559
<v Speaker 1>their garden and we get.

345
00:19:14.440 --> 00:19:15.319
<v Speaker 3>To accompany them.

346
00:19:16.160 --> 00:19:16.720
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

347
00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:19.720
<v Speaker 1>So this is a really really cool experience, and the

348
00:19:19.759 --> 00:19:22.599
<v Speaker 1>fact that you were lucid and completely aware that you

349
00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:26.119
<v Speaker 1>were dreaming. This to me is one of the hallmarks

350
00:19:26.160 --> 00:19:29.960
<v Speaker 1>of an astral or soul travel dream. Not a symbolic

351
00:19:30.119 --> 00:19:33.359
<v Speaker 1>dream like our earlier listener dreaming about her and her

352
00:19:33.400 --> 00:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>husband divorcing. This seems like an actual visitation.

353
00:19:38.519 --> 00:19:38.680
<v Speaker 2>Now.

354
00:19:38.720 --> 00:19:43.119
<v Speaker 1>According to dream research, seeing yourself in a photo can

355
00:19:43.279 --> 00:19:46.400
<v Speaker 1>mean that you're working on loving and accepting yourself exactly

356
00:19:46.480 --> 00:19:49.440
<v Speaker 1>as you are, and so that could be another one

357
00:19:49.519 --> 00:19:51.920
<v Speaker 1>of the messages that this man was trying to bring you,

358
00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.720
<v Speaker 1>because you were in this place of total love and

359
00:19:54.839 --> 00:19:59.240
<v Speaker 1>acceptance and serenity. And I wonder if sometimes I think

360
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.359
<v Speaker 1>our souls just need reminders that you are perfect loved.

361
00:20:03.720 --> 00:20:07.119
<v Speaker 1>You come from perfect love, you were made in perfect love,

362
00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.519
<v Speaker 1>and too perfect love. You will return, but you always

363
00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:14.279
<v Speaker 1>are there. And I wonder if some of those experiences

364
00:20:14.319 --> 00:20:17.359
<v Speaker 1>in this dream visit are to remind you of that

365
00:20:18.240 --> 00:20:21.640
<v Speaker 1>the Flower of life symbolism. It's often called the blueprint

366
00:20:21.720 --> 00:20:24.480
<v Speaker 1>of the universe. Tefinitly did a whole show on the

367
00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.920
<v Speaker 1>Flower of Life years ago. I'll have to try to

368
00:20:26.920 --> 00:20:32.319
<v Speaker 1>find it. But that symbol is about creation, life and interconnectedness,

369
00:20:32.480 --> 00:20:35.200
<v Speaker 1>and so in dreams it can be a sign that

370
00:20:35.279 --> 00:20:37.920
<v Speaker 1>you are on the right path, or you're being guided

371
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.839
<v Speaker 1>on the right path and are working on achieving higher

372
00:20:41.880 --> 00:20:46.319
<v Speaker 1>states of awareness. It's almost like he's in your life

373
00:20:46.359 --> 00:20:51.000
<v Speaker 1>guiding you to level up. If life is a video game,

374
00:20:51.759 --> 00:20:54.279
<v Speaker 1>you are leveling up, is how I would interpret that.

375
00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:58.000
<v Speaker 1>What a really cool experience, What an affirming experience.

376
00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:02.440
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely a day into studying the flower of life symbolism

377
00:21:02.599 --> 00:21:05.039
<v Speaker 2>which can take you down a rabbit hole for I

378
00:21:05.039 --> 00:21:07.119
<v Speaker 2>don't know the next fifty years of your life if

379
00:21:07.160 --> 00:21:11.079
<v Speaker 2>you break the Flower of life down into its basic form.

380
00:21:11.480 --> 00:21:15.240
<v Speaker 2>The flower of life is composed of interlocking vesica pisces,

381
00:21:15.720 --> 00:21:18.799
<v Speaker 2>which are two interlocking circles to go on and on

382
00:21:18.839 --> 00:21:21.279
<v Speaker 2>and on. The sacred geometry of all of that is

383
00:21:21.480 --> 00:21:26.799
<v Speaker 2>just fascinating. So enjoy that rabbit hole as you're processing

384
00:21:26.839 --> 00:21:29.079
<v Speaker 2>what you've experienced. Yeah.

385
00:21:29.079 --> 00:21:31.160
<v Speaker 1>And the fact that she's a gardener and the Flower

386
00:21:31.200 --> 00:21:35.799
<v Speaker 1>of life is all about creation, Yeah, I think that's

387
00:21:36.200 --> 00:21:38.920
<v Speaker 1>really a deeper layer of symbolism for her.

388
00:21:39.400 --> 00:21:40.359
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely. I love it.

389
00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.680
<v Speaker 1>All Right, let's take a very quick break. We'll be

390
00:21:42.960 --> 00:21:43.519
<v Speaker 1>right back.

00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:38.279
<v Speaker 2>I look forward to working with you.

405
00:22:42.759 --> 00:22:43.839
<v Speaker 1>Welcome back, Deb.

406
00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:45.319
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to share our next question?

407
00:22:45.720 --> 00:22:47.880
<v Speaker 2>A new crystal owner here with a question I haven't

408
00:22:47.880 --> 00:22:51.720
<v Speaker 2>heard you answer before? When is the moon full? When

409
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:54.519
<v Speaker 2>I looked online for the date, I encountered the following

410
00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:59.440
<v Speaker 2>confusing information. Sunday, February first, five nine pm Eastern Standard time.

411
00:23:00.119 --> 00:23:03.440
<v Speaker 2>So which evening is best for cleaning crystals? Should it

412
00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:07.160
<v Speaker 2>always be the full night before the moon reaches peak

413
00:23:07.519 --> 00:23:11.000
<v Speaker 2>or the full night afterwards? Perhaps the night when midnight

414
00:23:11.079 --> 00:23:13.720
<v Speaker 2>is closest to the actual peak time. This is a

415
00:23:13.720 --> 00:23:19.000
<v Speaker 2>great question. Most metaphysicians that I know believe that we

416
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:24.160
<v Speaker 2>live in the rising energy of the full moon for

417
00:23:24.200 --> 00:23:28.079
<v Speaker 2>about three days before the moon is full, and we

418
00:23:28.200 --> 00:23:32.559
<v Speaker 2>still maintain that full moon energy for about two days

419
00:23:32.680 --> 00:23:37.440
<v Speaker 2>after the moon has been full. So if I were

420
00:23:37.640 --> 00:23:41.160
<v Speaker 2>looking at what this person writes Sunday February first, at

421
00:23:41.160 --> 00:23:47.359
<v Speaker 2>five nine pm Eastern, I would have cleaned physically and

422
00:23:47.480 --> 00:23:52.319
<v Speaker 2>cleaned energetically my stones and put them on a table

423
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:54.359
<v Speaker 2>in front of a window, for example, or if it's

424
00:23:54.400 --> 00:23:58.079
<v Speaker 2>safe to do so outside, and do this sometime during

425
00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:01.519
<v Speaker 2>the day on Sunday, February first, for example, so that

426
00:24:01.680 --> 00:24:05.640
<v Speaker 2>when the moon reached its peak of fullness at five

427
00:24:05.720 --> 00:24:09.839
<v Speaker 2>oh nine Eastern time, they would already be there absorbing

428
00:24:09.880 --> 00:24:13.359
<v Speaker 2>that moon energy, and I would leave them there at

429
00:24:13.440 --> 00:24:16.960
<v Speaker 2>least until about the same time the next day. That's

430
00:24:16.960 --> 00:24:20.720
<v Speaker 2>sort of the short answer to that question. But really,

431
00:24:20.880 --> 00:24:24.920
<v Speaker 2>as the moon is waxing from new moon to full

432
00:24:25.000 --> 00:24:28.279
<v Speaker 2>moon is about increasing. So if what you want to

433
00:24:28.319 --> 00:24:32.400
<v Speaker 2>do is to increase your connection or your energy to

434
00:24:32.480 --> 00:24:37.039
<v Speaker 2>your stones, working with waxing energy is great. And conversely,

435
00:24:37.319 --> 00:24:40.039
<v Speaker 2>if you want to release or let go, you work

436
00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.480
<v Speaker 2>on the waning moon from after the moon is full

437
00:24:42.799 --> 00:24:45.079
<v Speaker 2>until it is the dark of the moon before it's

438
00:24:45.119 --> 00:24:45.599
<v Speaker 2>new again.

439
00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.880
<v Speaker 3>Don't you have an e course on that I do.

440
00:24:48.960 --> 00:24:51.160
<v Speaker 2>On my website. It's not a course, it's an e

441
00:24:51.240 --> 00:24:55.640
<v Speaker 2>booklet called Moon Magic and More, and it gives all

442
00:24:55.680 --> 00:24:58.400
<v Speaker 2>of what I've just said and a lot more about

443
00:24:58.799 --> 00:25:03.480
<v Speaker 2>understanding really the eight primary phases of the moon. We

444
00:25:03.519 --> 00:25:05.960
<v Speaker 2>talk mostly about those three phases, but really they're eight,

445
00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:08.599
<v Speaker 2>and there are lots of things that you can do

446
00:25:08.720 --> 00:25:11.960
<v Speaker 2>to deepen your connection to moon energy.

447
00:25:12.240 --> 00:25:16.039
<v Speaker 1>Well, it has rained or snowed on almost every full

448
00:25:16.079 --> 00:25:18.680
<v Speaker 1>moon we've had here where we live for the last

449
00:25:18.720 --> 00:25:19.599
<v Speaker 1>several months.

450
00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:20.039
<v Speaker 2>Yep.

451
00:25:20.240 --> 00:25:22.839
<v Speaker 1>So something else you can do if you don't obviously

452
00:25:23.079 --> 00:25:25.480
<v Speaker 1>want to take your crystals out in the rain or

453
00:25:25.480 --> 00:25:28.079
<v Speaker 1>the snow, is you can put a bowl of water

454
00:25:28.240 --> 00:25:31.000
<v Speaker 1>out and have it charged with the full moon energy,

455
00:25:31.440 --> 00:25:34.039
<v Speaker 1>and then you can strain it and keep that. You

456
00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.160
<v Speaker 1>can put it in a spray bottle, and if your

457
00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:39.039
<v Speaker 1>crystals have a hardness level of seven or higher, you

458
00:25:39.079 --> 00:25:41.680
<v Speaker 1>can just soak them in that moonwater or sprits them

459
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:44.119
<v Speaker 1>with that moon water, or if they have a hardness

460
00:25:44.200 --> 00:25:47.359
<v Speaker 1>level under seven, you can use the indirect method and

461
00:25:47.599 --> 00:25:50.119
<v Speaker 1>just put the crystals in a bowl and then submerge

462
00:25:50.119 --> 00:25:52.400
<v Speaker 1>that bowl in the moonwater. And that's another way to

463
00:25:52.480 --> 00:25:56.160
<v Speaker 1>charge your stones with the moon energy without taking them outside.

464
00:25:56.480 --> 00:25:59.160
<v Speaker 2>And keep this in mind, if, for example, on the

465
00:25:59.279 --> 00:26:00.920
<v Speaker 2>night of the full and you've laid them all out

466
00:26:00.960 --> 00:26:04.119
<v Speaker 2>on the table and it starts to rain, that moon

467
00:26:04.200 --> 00:26:07.880
<v Speaker 2>is still up there. The moon energy is still there.

468
00:26:08.480 --> 00:26:12.279
<v Speaker 2>You can't see it, but it's still there beyond and

469
00:26:12.319 --> 00:26:15.119
<v Speaker 2>coming through that rain or that snow.

470
00:26:15.839 --> 00:26:19.000
<v Speaker 1>All right, Our next one says in March twenty twenty five,

471
00:26:19.359 --> 00:26:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I found love letters my husband of eighteen years wrote

472
00:26:22.599 --> 00:26:27.920
<v Speaker 1>to a twenty nine year old coworker. He's fifty one.

473
00:26:28.680 --> 00:26:32.839
<v Speaker 1>It was an emotional affair of sorts, as she barely reciprocated.

474
00:26:33.319 --> 00:26:36.559
<v Speaker 1>While this alone was a terrible betrayal and I am

475
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.440
<v Speaker 1>still not over it. That isn't what I'm writing about.

476
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.000
<v Speaker 1>During a marital counseling session post love letters, he relayed

477
00:26:44.039 --> 00:26:47.160
<v Speaker 1>that my deep dive into the spiritual path bothered him

478
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:49.799
<v Speaker 1>and he hated having the stuff in the house.

479
00:26:50.559 --> 00:26:51.079
<v Speaker 3>Most of the.

480
00:26:51.039 --> 00:26:54.759
<v Speaker 1>Items were relegated to one room, my meditation spiritual room.

481
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.119
<v Speaker 1>This infuriated me, Like he gets to act like the

482
00:26:59.160 --> 00:27:02.400
<v Speaker 1>good guy and judge me. While he couldn't be loyal,

483
00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:06.359
<v Speaker 1>I thought to myself, I'll show him, and I threw

484
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.640
<v Speaker 1>all of my spiritual things away, my books, my decks

485
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and crystals, my pendulums. Some were very special to me

486
00:27:14.240 --> 00:27:17.359
<v Speaker 1>as they were gifts or very unique pieces. I may

487
00:27:17.400 --> 00:27:20.079
<v Speaker 1>have even thrown away my dead grandmother's brooch as I

488
00:27:20.119 --> 00:27:22.519
<v Speaker 1>can't find it. Some of the books are not in

489
00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:26.200
<v Speaker 1>print anymore. It was a moment of complete rage towards him,

490
00:27:26.279 --> 00:27:29.920
<v Speaker 1>and towards myself, and even towards the spiritual path, as

491
00:27:29.960 --> 00:27:34.039
<v Speaker 1>I was blindsided and what good is this intuitive stuff for?

492
00:27:35.079 --> 00:27:38.440
<v Speaker 1>I have felt like a sad, smaller version of myself.

493
00:27:38.480 --> 00:27:41.240
<v Speaker 1>Since then, there were nights I cried, lying down in

494
00:27:41.279 --> 00:27:44.519
<v Speaker 1>the shower until the water ran coal just staring. I

495
00:27:44.599 --> 00:27:49.279
<v Speaker 1>increased alcohol. I stopped invoicing clients and just worked, and

496
00:27:49.319 --> 00:27:53.400
<v Speaker 1>then got overburdened and avoided responding to work demands at all.

497
00:27:54.039 --> 00:27:57.160
<v Speaker 1>I stopped feeding myself spiritually and no longer went into

498
00:27:57.160 --> 00:28:01.079
<v Speaker 1>my meditation room. Finally, in decem I started to feel

499
00:28:01.119 --> 00:28:04.519
<v Speaker 1>like myself again. I rebought one deck, my favorite one.

500
00:28:05.000 --> 00:28:07.000
<v Speaker 1>I did a New Moon ritual with a stick my

501
00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:09.519
<v Speaker 1>dog handed to me a candle, a glass of water,

502
00:28:09.599 --> 00:28:14.200
<v Speaker 1>and a postcard. It felt very lovely like home. During

503
00:28:14.200 --> 00:28:16.720
<v Speaker 1>the ritual, spirit told me it's okay to let the

504
00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:20.160
<v Speaker 1>sadness of throwing out my beautiful treasures go, that the

505
00:28:20.200 --> 00:28:23.000
<v Speaker 1>practice and intention is the most crucial thing, and I

506
00:28:23.079 --> 00:28:26.200
<v Speaker 1>can start from scratch. Anything that wants to find me

507
00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:28.279
<v Speaker 1>will My question is.

508
00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:29.640
<v Speaker 3>What was that?

509
00:28:30.279 --> 00:28:33.359
<v Speaker 1>Was it just rage and hurt? Was it spirit teaching

510
00:28:33.359 --> 00:28:36.400
<v Speaker 1>me to start over with something haunted? Why did I

511
00:28:36.440 --> 00:28:39.519
<v Speaker 1>throw everything away and shut down the spiritual aspect of

512
00:28:39.559 --> 00:28:40.799
<v Speaker 1>myself for months?

513
00:28:42.559 --> 00:28:43.519
<v Speaker 2>Oh? Wow? All right.

514
00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:47.400
<v Speaker 1>My heart goes out to you, because obviously I think

515
00:28:47.440 --> 00:28:50.960
<v Speaker 1>an emotional affair. Gosh, my friends and I were just

516
00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:53.599
<v Speaker 1>debating this a couple of months ago. What's worse like

517
00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:56.799
<v Speaker 1>a physical one night stand affair or an emotional affair.

518
00:28:57.119 --> 00:28:59.359
<v Speaker 1>I don't think there is any worse or better or

519
00:28:59.400 --> 00:29:03.079
<v Speaker 1>not as hard. I think it's all hard. And what

520
00:29:03.119 --> 00:29:06.200
<v Speaker 1>you were going through was not only righteous rage and anger,

521
00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:11.440
<v Speaker 1>but also grief. You were grieving, grieving the lack of trust,

522
00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:14.799
<v Speaker 1>grieving the lack of support, grieving all of it. And

523
00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:19.839
<v Speaker 1>whenever we are on the other hand of adultery, we

524
00:29:19.880 --> 00:29:22.119
<v Speaker 1>always tend to kind of look at ourselves like what

525
00:29:22.200 --> 00:29:24.240
<v Speaker 1>did I do wrong? What could I have done better?

526
00:29:24.920 --> 00:29:28.119
<v Speaker 1>Maybe a part of you throwing away the spiritual items

527
00:29:28.839 --> 00:29:31.599
<v Speaker 1>was you just trying to find a way back to

528
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:34.920
<v Speaker 1>the marriage you and your husband had known. And if

529
00:29:34.960 --> 00:29:37.319
<v Speaker 1>he pointed out that this was something that really bothered him,

530
00:29:37.319 --> 00:29:38.599
<v Speaker 1>then you were like, well, then I'm just going to

531
00:29:38.599 --> 00:29:41.359
<v Speaker 1>get rid of it. But I think it's also grief,

532
00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:45.200
<v Speaker 1>And I think what we need to recognize is that

533
00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:49.640
<v Speaker 1>grief isn't just losing someone who has transitioned.

534
00:29:49.119 --> 00:29:50.680
<v Speaker 3>To the other side.

535
00:29:50.920 --> 00:29:54.079
<v Speaker 1>There is a profound grief that comes from the end

536
00:29:54.240 --> 00:29:57.160
<v Speaker 1>of a marriage. And I think that even though you

537
00:29:57.240 --> 00:30:00.680
<v Speaker 1>two are working on reconciling, it's going to be a

538
00:30:00.720 --> 00:30:04.039
<v Speaker 1>new marriage once you guys get on the other side

539
00:30:04.039 --> 00:30:06.920
<v Speaker 1>of this. And so when we are going through grief,

540
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:09.839
<v Speaker 1>like your spirit guides are saying to you, we have

541
00:30:09.920 --> 00:30:12.079
<v Speaker 1>to give ourselves so much grace.

542
00:30:12.920 --> 00:30:13.559
<v Speaker 3>And I think.

543
00:30:13.400 --> 00:30:16.759
<v Speaker 1>Everything they said to you was absolutely right. That you

544
00:30:16.839 --> 00:30:20.440
<v Speaker 1>can start again and whatever wants to find you will

545
00:30:20.480 --> 00:30:24.000
<v Speaker 1>find you. And so I just hope that you don't

546
00:30:24.480 --> 00:30:27.799
<v Speaker 1>keep blaming yourself for any part of this, and I

547
00:30:27.839 --> 00:30:33.599
<v Speaker 1>hope that you don't point fingers at yourself because you're

548
00:30:33.599 --> 00:30:35.920
<v Speaker 1>doing all of the right things. You're not denying your

549
00:30:35.960 --> 00:30:41.240
<v Speaker 1>spiritual side, You're respecting yourself in this situation, and you

550
00:30:41.279 --> 00:30:44.079
<v Speaker 1>are working on so much healing and growth.

551
00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:45.039
<v Speaker 3>Do you want to add to that?

552
00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:49.119
<v Speaker 2>I sure do. One of my favorite books is a

553
00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.039
<v Speaker 2>young adult book that was written in the nineteen sixties,

554
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.559
<v Speaker 2>I think by Catherine Marshall. The name of the book

555
00:30:55.640 --> 00:31:02.079
<v Speaker 2>is Christy. And there's this wonderful Quaker lady teacher preacher

556
00:31:02.160 --> 00:31:06.359
<v Speaker 2>in the back hills of Empire Bridged Appalacchia. Her name

557
00:31:06.400 --> 00:31:10.319
<v Speaker 2>is Miss Alice Henderson. And Christie is going through a

558
00:31:10.440 --> 00:31:13.200
<v Speaker 2>dark night of the soul, as any young woman might

559
00:31:13.240 --> 00:31:17.400
<v Speaker 2>be at Christie's age, and she's angry and she's hurt,

560
00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:21.240
<v Speaker 2>and she's got all these raging emotions. And Miss Alice

561
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:26.039
<v Speaker 2>Henderson looks at her in a scene and says, he

562
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:28.799
<v Speaker 2>who has never shook his fist in the face of

563
00:31:28.880 --> 00:31:33.359
<v Speaker 2>Heaven has never known God at all. I love that line.

564
00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:37.119
<v Speaker 2>I love that line so much that it was one

565
00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:39.079
<v Speaker 2>of the few quotes in my book that I wrote

566
00:31:39.079 --> 00:31:42.359
<v Speaker 2>some years ago about grief. Because to be angry with

567
00:31:42.480 --> 00:31:46.640
<v Speaker 2>spirit is to deeply connect with spirit. We can't be

568
00:31:46.759 --> 00:31:49.880
<v Speaker 2>angry at something we don't know and have some other emotions.

569
00:31:49.920 --> 00:31:54.160
<v Speaker 2>For I have been angry with spirit in my life,

570
00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:58.559
<v Speaker 2>and Miss Alice's wonderful line has been very helpful to me.

571
00:31:59.519 --> 00:32:04.839
<v Speaker 2>And so when you've had such emotion that brought you

572
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:08.720
<v Speaker 2>to a place of just throwing away all the symbols

573
00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:12.920
<v Speaker 2>of your connection to spirit, I get that, and I

574
00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:17.680
<v Speaker 2>also love that you came to a place of coming

575
00:32:17.799 --> 00:32:24.079
<v Speaker 2>back to spirit with such lovely simplicity. So yes, Samantha, Indeed,

576
00:32:24.279 --> 00:32:26.799
<v Speaker 2>rage is such a part of grief, is such a

577
00:32:26.799 --> 00:32:29.119
<v Speaker 2>part of the pain and the heart that goes with

578
00:32:30.160 --> 00:32:33.720
<v Speaker 2>so much that we grieve in our lives beyond physical death.

579
00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:39.400
<v Speaker 2>And I just think that maybe there still will be

580
00:32:39.559 --> 00:32:44.519
<v Speaker 2>gifts that you will learn from this experience as you

581
00:32:44.640 --> 00:32:48.880
<v Speaker 2>move forward in your spiritual journey.

582
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:52.880
<v Speaker 1>Well said, our hearts go out to you, because that's

583
00:32:52.920 --> 00:32:56.799
<v Speaker 1>a really difficult betrayal to overcome. I think what you

584
00:32:56.960 --> 00:33:01.079
<v Speaker 1>have to do is focus on sacred selfishness and really

585
00:33:01.160 --> 00:33:04.920
<v Speaker 1>just loving and supporting yourself. That's what we're going to

586
00:33:04.960 --> 00:33:05.480
<v Speaker 1>pray for you.

587
00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:09.200
<v Speaker 2>Okay. I wanted to share a vision I had about

588
00:33:09.200 --> 00:33:12.519
<v Speaker 2>fifteen years ago because it is such a hopeful message

589
00:33:12.519 --> 00:33:15.599
<v Speaker 2>that might help others at the end of ten years

590
00:33:15.640 --> 00:33:20.119
<v Speaker 2>of unsuccessful infertility treatments in the middle of an awful divorce,

591
00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:24.240
<v Speaker 2>I was working with a flower essence practitioner who helped

592
00:33:24.240 --> 00:33:28.480
<v Speaker 2>me with several different alternative therapies. One day, as she

593
00:33:28.519 --> 00:33:32.240
<v Speaker 2>guided me through a meditation session, I had a vision

594
00:33:32.359 --> 00:33:36.079
<v Speaker 2>of my maternal grandmother. Now this surprised me because I

595
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:39.160
<v Speaker 2>never had much of a relationship with any of my grandparents.

596
00:33:39.759 --> 00:33:42.880
<v Speaker 2>They were all very reserved people who didn't seem to

597
00:33:42.920 --> 00:33:47.039
<v Speaker 2>want emotional connections and preferred that their grandchildren just go

598
00:33:47.119 --> 00:33:50.200
<v Speaker 2>off and play and not bother the adults. The vision

599
00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.279
<v Speaker 2>was simply my grandmother appearing as she would have in

600
00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:57.119
<v Speaker 2>the nineteen thirties, a young farmer's wife in a depression

601
00:33:57.119 --> 00:34:01.480
<v Speaker 2>air address with Bob Hare, looking rat happy as I

602
00:34:01.559 --> 00:34:04.680
<v Speaker 2>never saw her in life, smiling at me with her

603
00:34:04.839 --> 00:34:08.440
<v Speaker 2>arms wide. She said to me, it doesn't have to

604
00:34:08.519 --> 00:34:12.920
<v Speaker 2>be that hard, and then the vision faded. It was

605
00:34:12.960 --> 00:34:16.119
<v Speaker 2>such a simple thing, but it has stuck with me

606
00:34:16.320 --> 00:34:20.480
<v Speaker 2>through my struggles in life that maybe I don't have

607
00:34:20.639 --> 00:34:25.000
<v Speaker 2>to always try so hard to fix myself. Maybe I

608
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:28.800
<v Speaker 2>am just enough as I am, and maybe I have

609
00:34:28.920 --> 00:34:33.079
<v Speaker 2>the right to be happy. Thanks so much. Your podcast

610
00:34:33.159 --> 00:34:35.320
<v Speaker 2>is always a bright spot in my week.

611
00:34:36.719 --> 00:34:40.679
<v Speaker 1>Well, Samantha, this email is a bright spot in my week.

612
00:34:41.079 --> 00:34:43.639
<v Speaker 2>Well mine too. But I want to read this again

613
00:34:44.039 --> 00:34:49.960
<v Speaker 2>because I truly believe that in so many ways, what

614
00:34:50.039 --> 00:34:54.440
<v Speaker 2>this listener has said is really what I know I

615
00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:56.400
<v Speaker 2>need to learn. And maybe if you hear it again,

616
00:34:56.440 --> 00:34:59.360
<v Speaker 2>it'll work with other people to learn stuff. So listen again.

617
00:35:01.280 --> 00:35:03.519
<v Speaker 2>She said to me, it doesn't have to be that hard,

618
00:35:03.639 --> 00:35:06.920
<v Speaker 2>and then the vision faded. It was such a simple thing,

619
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.679
<v Speaker 2>but he has stuck with me through my struggles in

620
00:35:10.719 --> 00:35:14.920
<v Speaker 2>life that maybe I don't have to always try so

621
00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:19.880
<v Speaker 2>hard to fix myself. Maybe I am enough just as

622
00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:24.039
<v Speaker 2>I am, and maybe I have a right to just

623
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:27.440
<v Speaker 2>be happy. Hella.

624
00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:33.360
<v Speaker 1>Wow, And that's someone who worked really hard. You know,

625
00:35:33.559 --> 00:35:36.639
<v Speaker 1>she's in her depression era address, so that's probably a

626
00:35:36.679 --> 00:35:39.280
<v Speaker 1>message she had to learn too. And I wonder if

627
00:35:39.320 --> 00:35:45.280
<v Speaker 1>this listener isn't one of those generational chain breakers. Maybe

628
00:35:45.400 --> 00:35:48.639
<v Speaker 1>and she's going to break a mantra that may have

629
00:35:48.760 --> 00:35:51.280
<v Speaker 1>existed in that line of the family of you gotta

630
00:35:51.320 --> 00:35:54.639
<v Speaker 1>work hard, you got to always be doing, going, proving,

631
00:35:55.639 --> 00:35:58.119
<v Speaker 1>But we are enough just as we are.

632
00:35:58.800 --> 00:36:01.760
<v Speaker 2>That is such at a lesson for all of us.

633
00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:03.599
<v Speaker 2>I think, and I know it is for me.

634
00:36:04.519 --> 00:36:06.440
<v Speaker 1>I know, I know it is. It is so hard.

635
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.559
<v Speaker 1>I was telling you before we hit record. I was

636
00:36:09.599 --> 00:36:13.679
<v Speaker 1>watching that new documentary on near death experiences called Renaissance,

637
00:36:13.840 --> 00:36:17.079
<v Speaker 1>and one of the things that always comes up in

638
00:36:17.119 --> 00:36:20.119
<v Speaker 1>those documentaries is that we are loved and perfect just

639
00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:24.440
<v Speaker 1>as we are, and that all is always forgiven. And

640
00:36:24.480 --> 00:36:26.800
<v Speaker 1>I think that's such a beautiful message, and I think

641
00:36:26.920 --> 00:36:29.760
<v Speaker 1>so many of us forget it on the day to day.

642
00:36:30.920 --> 00:36:33.360
<v Speaker 1>And I went to scroll through my phone after I

643
00:36:33.440 --> 00:36:38.679
<v Speaker 1>finished that documentary and something popped up on Instagram, and

644
00:36:38.840 --> 00:36:40.880
<v Speaker 1>deb you know, I've said this many times on the show.

645
00:36:41.039 --> 00:36:44.800
<v Speaker 1>As a Catholic, not so good with all the nitty

646
00:36:44.800 --> 00:36:47.519
<v Speaker 1>gritties of the Bible, especially the Old Testament.

647
00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.159
<v Speaker 2>I'm probably gonna have to help you out here.

648
00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:50.679
<v Speaker 3>Yeah, you might.

649
00:36:51.679 --> 00:36:55.679
<v Speaker 1>The person had posted a line from Genesis and it's

650
00:36:55.880 --> 00:37:01.920
<v Speaker 1>after Cain kills Abel, and it was about God loving

651
00:37:02.119 --> 00:37:07.000
<v Speaker 1>Abel so much and loving Cain just as much, even

652
00:37:07.039 --> 00:37:11.159
<v Speaker 1>though he just committed the first murder, that he put

653
00:37:11.280 --> 00:37:16.760
<v Speaker 1>a mark on Cain that would protect him from ever

654
00:37:17.280 --> 00:37:21.840
<v Speaker 1>anyone trying to seek revenge or retribution, and he sent

655
00:37:21.920 --> 00:37:23.840
<v Speaker 1>him to live in the east of Eden in the

656
00:37:23.920 --> 00:37:27.639
<v Speaker 1>land of Nod and that's when he found his wife

657
00:37:27.719 --> 00:37:30.079
<v Speaker 1>and had a family and lived on his happy life.

658
00:37:31.039 --> 00:37:33.840
<v Speaker 1>And I don't know, deb I never I thought the

659
00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:37.199
<v Speaker 1>Mark of Cain meant he was like, I don't know,

660
00:37:37.280 --> 00:37:38.639
<v Speaker 1>stuck in hell the rest of his life.

661
00:37:38.639 --> 00:37:39.039
<v Speaker 3>Who knows.

662
00:37:39.079 --> 00:37:40.719
<v Speaker 1>I don't know what the Bible intended for him, But

663
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.280
<v Speaker 1>in my mind he was punished. He's like the og Judas,

664
00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:49.400
<v Speaker 1>you know. I never read it that way, that God

665
00:37:49.480 --> 00:37:54.039
<v Speaker 1>so loved everyone so much, so unconditionally, that even the

666
00:37:54.119 --> 00:37:58.400
<v Speaker 1>first murderer he protected. I think I was just raised

667
00:37:58.440 --> 00:38:03.199
<v Speaker 1>on too many supernatural type stories where people are looking

668
00:38:03.239 --> 00:38:05.679
<v Speaker 1>for the mark of Kane, which means you were possessed

669
00:38:05.760 --> 00:38:07.079
<v Speaker 1>or you know all that stuff.

670
00:38:07.880 --> 00:38:10.119
<v Speaker 2>Yeah, that's not what the mark of Kine is about.

671
00:38:10.480 --> 00:38:16.239
<v Speaker 1>Mark of protection, Yeah, for just love and forgiveness.

672
00:38:16.679 --> 00:38:16.880
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

673
00:38:16.960 --> 00:38:21.360
<v Speaker 1>And I just think, why can't we do that to ourselves?

674
00:38:21.400 --> 00:38:25.920
<v Speaker 1>Like the listener we were just reading before, forgive yourself,

675
00:38:26.280 --> 00:38:29.719
<v Speaker 1>forgive your part and your marriage. It's not because you

676
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:33.599
<v Speaker 1>were spiritual, it's not because of any of that, And

677
00:38:33.679 --> 00:38:36.440
<v Speaker 1>forgive yourself for throwing all of that stuff away.

678
00:38:38.000 --> 00:38:40.159
<v Speaker 3>We all need that message again and again and again.

679
00:38:40.360 --> 00:38:43.199
<v Speaker 1>It doesn't have to be that hard, and you are

680
00:38:44.480 --> 00:38:46.679
<v Speaker 1>enough just as you are, and we all have a

681
00:38:46.760 --> 00:38:47.599
<v Speaker 1>right to be happy.

682
00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.559
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely, we do. Thank you so much for this femail.

683
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:54.079

705
00:40:12.239 --> 00:40:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Our next one says my story about connecting with spirit

706
00:40:16.039 --> 00:40:19.360
<v Speaker 1>is similar to Samantha's. While I do not remember seeing

707
00:40:19.400 --> 00:40:21.880
<v Speaker 1>spirits as a child, I do know that I was

708
00:40:21.960 --> 00:40:25.280
<v Speaker 1>incredibly frightened to sleep alone, and that fear went on

709
00:40:25.440 --> 00:40:28.599
<v Speaker 1>through college. As a child, I would often sneak into

710
00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.079
<v Speaker 1>my parents' bedroom to sleep on their floor rather than

711
00:40:31.119 --> 00:40:33.679
<v Speaker 1>be alone in my own room. I got married in

712
00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:36.119
<v Speaker 1>my early twenties, and my new husband and I bought

713
00:40:36.119 --> 00:40:39.199
<v Speaker 1>a small house. Shortly after we moved in, I woke

714
00:40:39.280 --> 00:40:41.280
<v Speaker 1>up in the middle of the night to an elderly

715
00:40:41.320 --> 00:40:44.480
<v Speaker 1>woman leaning over me. She was clear, but not solid.

716
00:40:45.079 --> 00:40:47.719
<v Speaker 1>I could see every line on her face. She did

717
00:40:47.760 --> 00:40:50.639
<v Speaker 1>not speak or move. I started to panic and made

718
00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:52.920
<v Speaker 1>a sound in my throat, and it woke my husband up.

719
00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:55.920
<v Speaker 1>The woman dissolved. It's the best way I can explain

720
00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:58.639
<v Speaker 1>what I saw. The next morning, my husband asked me

721
00:40:58.719 --> 00:41:00.960
<v Speaker 1>why I had left the night life on in our bedroom,

722
00:41:01.000 --> 00:41:03.440
<v Speaker 1>and I told him I hadn't. He told me when

723
00:41:03.440 --> 00:41:05.239
<v Speaker 1>I had woken him up the night before that the

724
00:41:05.320 --> 00:41:08.119
<v Speaker 1>room was bright. Of course, there was no light on.

725
00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:12.440
<v Speaker 1>Similar incidents happened twice in that same house. First, I

726
00:41:12.480 --> 00:41:15.119
<v Speaker 1>saw an elderly man that I did not recognize standing

727
00:41:15.119 --> 00:41:16.039
<v Speaker 1>at the foot of my bed.

728
00:41:16.559 --> 00:41:16.960
<v Speaker 3>Again.

729
00:41:17.079 --> 00:41:20.440
<v Speaker 1>His outline was sort of silvery or translucent, but very clear.

730
00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:24.079
<v Speaker 1>He did not speak or move. He also dissolved after

731
00:41:24.119 --> 00:41:26.880
<v Speaker 1>a minute or two. The last time that it happened

732
00:41:26.880 --> 00:41:28.800
<v Speaker 1>in that house, it was my father standing at the

733
00:41:28.800 --> 00:41:31.360
<v Speaker 1>foot of the bed. He passed away after a long

734
00:41:31.400 --> 00:41:34.440
<v Speaker 1>illness when I was nineteen. I loved him very much,

735
00:41:34.519 --> 00:41:37.639
<v Speaker 1>but he was an alcoholic and our relationship was complicated.

736
00:41:38.159 --> 00:41:41.599
<v Speaker 1>Seeing him there frightened me. I spoke out loud, and

737
00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:43.599
<v Speaker 1>I told him I was scared and not to come

738
00:41:43.639 --> 00:41:44.159
<v Speaker 1>back again.

739
00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:44.920
<v Speaker 3>He has not.

740
00:41:45.800 --> 00:41:48.119
<v Speaker 1>That was nearly twenty years ago, and I have lived

741
00:41:48.119 --> 00:41:51.559
<v Speaker 1>in multiple houses since then. I have seen other spirits,

742
00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.159
<v Speaker 1>but never again my father, and never as clearly as

743
00:41:55.199 --> 00:41:58.440
<v Speaker 1>I did in that first house. I am no longer afraid.

744
00:41:59.079 --> 00:42:02.559
<v Speaker 1>What has changed, which is not the experience itself, but

745
00:42:02.679 --> 00:42:05.960
<v Speaker 1>my understanding of it. I desperately want to see my

746
00:42:06.039 --> 00:42:09.840
<v Speaker 1>father again. I would now welcome friendly spirits to visit me,

747
00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:12.440
<v Speaker 1>and I have invited them to do so on multiple

748
00:42:12.480 --> 00:42:15.920
<v Speaker 1>occasions without success. I wonder if I did have a

749
00:42:15.920 --> 00:42:19.360
<v Speaker 1>clairvoyant gift that I suppressed and am now unable to access.

750
00:42:20.239 --> 00:42:22.599
<v Speaker 1>I have tried to connect in other ways in hopes

751
00:42:22.599 --> 00:42:26.159
<v Speaker 1>of accessing that part of myself again, including visiting two

752
00:42:26.159 --> 00:42:29.440
<v Speaker 1>different mediums, neither of whom were able to establish any

753
00:42:29.480 --> 00:42:32.960
<v Speaker 1>contact on my behalf. I have also used many of

754
00:42:33.000 --> 00:42:35.760
<v Speaker 1>the techniques in Samanita's book Heavenly Alliance to try to

755
00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.360
<v Speaker 1>connect with my personal spirit guides. I have requested signs

756
00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:42.440
<v Speaker 1>and have not received them. I once asked to see

757
00:42:42.480 --> 00:42:45.559
<v Speaker 1>an American goldfinch as a sign, but the closest I

758
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:48.880
<v Speaker 1>got was a pine warbler. I wonder why other people

759
00:42:49.039 --> 00:42:52.360
<v Speaker 1>so easily receive signs when I do not. My maaternal

760
00:42:52.400 --> 00:42:55.239
<v Speaker 1>grandmother died when I was about six, but she was

761
00:42:55.320 --> 00:42:57.519
<v Speaker 1>very interested in the occult, and my mother says that

762
00:42:57.599 --> 00:42:59.639
<v Speaker 1>if anyone would have come back to give a sign,

763
00:42:59.639 --> 00:43:02.679
<v Speaker 1>it would than her. Did I lose my ability to

764
00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:05.079
<v Speaker 1>connect with spirit when I asked my father to leave.

765
00:43:05.639 --> 00:43:08.920
<v Speaker 1>What can I do, if anything, to regain it? I

766
00:43:08.960 --> 00:43:11.519
<v Speaker 1>only recently discovered your podcast in love It. Thank you

767
00:43:11.559 --> 00:43:16.559
<v Speaker 1>for bringing light, joy and nosis into this often dark world. Okay,

768
00:43:16.559 --> 00:43:18.599
<v Speaker 1>so you're right, we do have a lot in common

769
00:43:18.599 --> 00:43:21.239
<v Speaker 1>because I've shared many times how I woke up and

770
00:43:21.280 --> 00:43:23.920
<v Speaker 1>saw that lovely gentleman at the foot of my bed

771
00:43:23.960 --> 00:43:26.519
<v Speaker 1>when I was sixteen, and got on my knees and

772
00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:28.480
<v Speaker 1>prayed to God and said please take it away because

773
00:43:28.480 --> 00:43:29.760
<v Speaker 1>it scared me so much.

774
00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:32.039
<v Speaker 3>And I was able to get it back.

775
00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:34.559
<v Speaker 1>But it was not easy, and it did take a

776
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:38.079
<v Speaker 1>lot of work, and it wasn't so much. Yes, I

777
00:43:38.119 --> 00:43:42.079
<v Speaker 1>took a lot of intuitive development classes. I took meditation classes,

778
00:43:42.400 --> 00:43:45.199
<v Speaker 1>all that stuff. I read, all the books I got reiki.

779
00:43:45.800 --> 00:43:47.800
<v Speaker 1>It wasn't all of that. It was, but it wasn't.

780
00:43:48.320 --> 00:43:50.840
<v Speaker 1>It was something that had to happen internally inside of me.

781
00:43:52.199 --> 00:43:55.239
<v Speaker 1>We had a lovely man on my other podcast, Enlightened

782
00:43:55.280 --> 00:43:59.280
<v Speaker 1>Them Paths, named doctor Bradley Nelson on last month, and

783
00:43:59.480 --> 00:44:03.320
<v Speaker 1>he book about heart walls and how we all build

784
00:44:03.559 --> 00:44:06.519
<v Speaker 1>walls around our heart to protect ourselves and how we

785
00:44:06.599 --> 00:44:09.079
<v Speaker 1>have to really be cognizant of that and work to

786
00:44:09.079 --> 00:44:11.719
<v Speaker 1>take them down. And I think maybe you have built

787
00:44:11.760 --> 00:44:14.840
<v Speaker 1>a heart wall either around your heart, or maybe a

788
00:44:14.880 --> 00:44:18.760
<v Speaker 1>third eye wall that you just need to gently, methodically

789
00:44:18.840 --> 00:44:23.400
<v Speaker 1>and consistently tear down. The simplest thing I did to

790
00:44:23.480 --> 00:44:28.480
<v Speaker 1>help it was really simple. I would repeat over and

791
00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:31.239
<v Speaker 1>over and over again as I walked the hallways to

792
00:44:31.280 --> 00:44:34.119
<v Speaker 1>get to each of my classes I was teaching for

793
00:44:34.320 --> 00:44:36.639
<v Speaker 1>a couple of years. I would say, it is safe

794
00:44:36.679 --> 00:44:39.000
<v Speaker 1>for me to see. It is safe for me to see.

795
00:44:39.519 --> 00:44:42.280
<v Speaker 1>It was one of my mantras, and I really do

796
00:44:42.320 --> 00:44:46.000
<v Speaker 1>think that helped. I did some past life regression work

797
00:44:46.039 --> 00:44:49.239
<v Speaker 1>to find out if there was any past life issue

798
00:44:49.280 --> 00:44:52.639
<v Speaker 1>that was blocking my fear of opening up. I did

799
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:57.360
<v Speaker 1>a lot of inner reflection on forgiving myself and accepting

800
00:44:57.360 --> 00:45:00.360
<v Speaker 1>myself as I was, and looking at the sh dado

801
00:45:00.400 --> 00:45:03.559
<v Speaker 1>stuff of being afraid to be seen as different in

802
00:45:03.599 --> 00:45:08.360
<v Speaker 1>woo woo and weird. That helped significantly. And I also

803
00:45:08.440 --> 00:45:11.320
<v Speaker 1>did a cord cutting ritual where I'd cut the cord

804
00:45:12.320 --> 00:45:16.400
<v Speaker 1>to the aspect of myself that was afraid of doing

805
00:45:16.440 --> 00:45:19.239
<v Speaker 1>intuitive work. So all of those things might help you

806
00:45:19.840 --> 00:45:24.400
<v Speaker 1>find this connection again. But ultimately, what I think you're

807
00:45:24.440 --> 00:45:29.280
<v Speaker 1>being led to do is really work on forgiving yourself

808
00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:32.360
<v Speaker 1>and your father, and so I think looking at doing

809
00:45:32.519 --> 00:45:36.039
<v Speaker 1>some ancestor type work where maybe you have a little

810
00:45:36.039 --> 00:45:38.840
<v Speaker 1>table in your home or your office where you have

811
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:40.800
<v Speaker 1>like a photo of your dad and an item that

812
00:45:40.840 --> 00:45:43.960
<v Speaker 1>reminds you of your dad, and maybe a crystal that

813
00:45:44.000 --> 00:45:46.880
<v Speaker 1>serves us a physical connection to you and your dad,

814
00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:49.000
<v Speaker 1>and a candle in front of it, and maybe just

815
00:45:49.079 --> 00:45:51.800
<v Speaker 1>every morning light that candle and just send love to

816
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:54.119
<v Speaker 1>your dad, and send forgiveness to your dad, and send

817
00:45:54.119 --> 00:45:57.320
<v Speaker 1>love and forgiveness to yourself as well, and just start

818
00:45:57.360 --> 00:46:02.679
<v Speaker 1>to have that type of dialogue without needing proof in

819
00:46:02.719 --> 00:46:04.760
<v Speaker 1>the beginning, do you know what I mean, Without needing

820
00:46:05.119 --> 00:46:07.079
<v Speaker 1>to see him again at the foot of your bed,

821
00:46:07.119 --> 00:46:12.719
<v Speaker 1>without needing to see an American goldfinch bird, just trusting

822
00:46:13.079 --> 00:46:16.639
<v Speaker 1>and having that dialogue with your father and just have

823
00:46:16.719 --> 00:46:19.880
<v Speaker 1>no expectation of what will come of it, just seeking

824
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:23.719
<v Speaker 1>connection from that bond of love and forgiveness and see

825
00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:28.719
<v Speaker 1>what comes out of that. Do you agree to I do.

826
00:46:28.760 --> 00:46:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Agree so, Mantha. And the other thing that I would

827
00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:34.800
<v Speaker 2>recommend is what I have found in my life when

828
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:39.360
<v Speaker 2>I feel like I really should be able to connect

829
00:46:39.440 --> 00:46:46.440
<v Speaker 2>or get information or whatnot, is to just stop, just quit,

830
00:46:46.599 --> 00:46:48.840
<v Speaker 2>walk away, Go do the dishes, Go do the laundry,

831
00:46:49.119 --> 00:46:52.480
<v Speaker 2>go read a book about I don't know anything other

832
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:57.840
<v Speaker 2>than metaphysical stuff. And when I can get out of

833
00:46:57.880 --> 00:47:02.239
<v Speaker 2>my own way, that is often and answers come. So

834
00:47:02.639 --> 00:47:06.239
<v Speaker 2>overseeking and overdoing for me is always a and I'm

835
00:47:06.239 --> 00:47:08.480
<v Speaker 2>not getting anything is always a sign for me that

836
00:47:08.519 --> 00:47:12.760
<v Speaker 2>I need to just let go, and what I'm looking

837
00:47:12.800 --> 00:47:15.639
<v Speaker 2>for will come in the oddest way sometimes that I

838
00:47:15.719 --> 00:47:18.079
<v Speaker 2>might not have been expecting or anticipating.

839
00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.880
<v Speaker 1>That is a great suggestion. Dev I am reading the

840
00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:25.400
<v Speaker 1>weirdest book right now. I went to our little library

841
00:47:25.400 --> 00:47:29.000
<v Speaker 1>book sale a couple of weeks ago and I found

842
00:47:29.079 --> 00:47:31.840
<v Speaker 1>this book called The Key by Whitley Strieber. You know

843
00:47:31.880 --> 00:47:36.280
<v Speaker 1>Whitley's school, The Community, Okay, Yeah, So he's on a

844
00:47:36.320 --> 00:47:39.559
<v Speaker 1>book tour for the sequel to The Communion, and this

845
00:47:39.639 --> 00:47:43.159
<v Speaker 1>strange little man knocks on his hotel room door, and

846
00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:46.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm only halfway through. I don't know if it's an angel,

847
00:47:46.440 --> 00:47:48.519
<v Speaker 1>if it's an off planet being, if it's his guide,

848
00:47:48.800 --> 00:47:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. But they spend the whole night in conversation,

849
00:47:52.280 --> 00:47:55.519
<v Speaker 1>and Whitley asked him like, can I take notes? And

850
00:47:56.400 --> 00:47:58.920
<v Speaker 1>one of the things this little man says to Whitley

851
00:48:00.079 --> 00:48:03.239
<v Speaker 1>after he asks him, what is psychic ability and how

852
00:48:03.239 --> 00:48:05.280
<v Speaker 1>can we access it. I've got to send you the

853
00:48:05.280 --> 00:48:08.800
<v Speaker 1>paragraph of how this man answers it because I need

854
00:48:08.800 --> 00:48:11.679
<v Speaker 1>our psychiatrist email listener friend to help me interpret it.

855
00:48:11.679 --> 00:48:15.639
<v Speaker 3>It was just a lot of technical stuff.

856
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:17.880
<v Speaker 1>But one of the things he says is you have

857
00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:22.840
<v Speaker 1>to develop super position. And I was like, what is that?

858
00:48:22.920 --> 00:48:25.039
<v Speaker 1>So I had to look that up. And it's the

859
00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:30.280
<v Speaker 1>ability to be focused on one thing and yet be

860
00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:36.079
<v Speaker 1>aware of everything else going on around you. To maintain

861
00:48:37.039 --> 00:48:41.599
<v Speaker 1>that concentration but not hyper focused, so you block out

862
00:48:41.599 --> 00:48:45.519
<v Speaker 1>everything else. And that's kind of to me what you

863
00:48:45.559 --> 00:48:47.159
<v Speaker 1>were just saying to this listener.

864
00:48:48.840 --> 00:48:52.760
<v Speaker 2>Yes, it's where we let go that stuff comes intimes. Yeah,

865
00:48:52.840 --> 00:48:55.840
<v Speaker 2>it really is. I mean, think about this when you've

866
00:48:55.880 --> 00:48:58.719
<v Speaker 2>got something you want to remember, Like for me, I've

867
00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:01.880
<v Speaker 2>got lyrics going through my head. Who wrote that song?

868
00:49:02.239 --> 00:49:05.559
<v Speaker 2>Where did it come from? And I am just nuts

869
00:49:05.639 --> 00:49:08.360
<v Speaker 2>about it until I find it? And if I will

870
00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:13.079
<v Speaker 2>stop being perseverative about who wrote the lyrics that I'm

871
00:49:13.599 --> 00:49:15.719
<v Speaker 2>I'm singing in my head and I go do something

872
00:49:15.719 --> 00:49:18.239
<v Speaker 2>else and I think later, eventually it will come back

873
00:49:18.239 --> 00:49:24.000
<v Speaker 2>and it will say John Cougar, Mellencamp and I go, oh, okay, thanks.

874
00:49:24.320 --> 00:49:26.960
<v Speaker 1>That's so true, because we have to give ourselves that

875
00:49:27.039 --> 00:49:27.880
<v Speaker 1>grease of space.

876
00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:31.679
<v Speaker 2>That's right, exactly. Okay, thank you for that question. Shall

877
00:49:31.679 --> 00:49:35.760
<v Speaker 2>we move on? Yes? I did my first vanishing spell

878
00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:40.440
<v Speaker 2>this week for a former friend who has a very

879
00:49:40.519 --> 00:49:44.920
<v Speaker 2>negative and disruptive energy for me and my marriage. She

880
00:49:45.079 --> 00:49:49.199
<v Speaker 2>recently reappeared in my life unexpectedly. I wrote her name

881
00:49:49.239 --> 00:49:52.000
<v Speaker 2>on paper and folded it away from me. I added

882
00:49:52.039 --> 00:49:55.480
<v Speaker 2>pepper oil and rosemary and set it on fire. As

883
00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:58.559
<v Speaker 2>I looked into the cauldron, I was shocked to see

884
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:02.159
<v Speaker 2>a nail had appeared. I've never used a nail in

885
00:50:02.159 --> 00:50:05.519
<v Speaker 2>my practice, and the cauldron was cleaned before I used it.

886
00:50:06.480 --> 00:50:08.559
<v Speaker 2>I know this is significant, but I'm not sure what

887
00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.000
<v Speaker 2>that means. Can you give me some insight?

888
00:50:11.719 --> 00:50:13.320
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I don't know if you saw this email, but

889
00:50:13.360 --> 00:50:15.320
<v Speaker 1>she included a picture I did.

890
00:50:15.559 --> 00:50:15.760
<v Speaker 2>I did.

891
00:50:16.119 --> 00:50:17.119
<v Speaker 3>There's a nail there.

892
00:50:17.880 --> 00:50:18.599
<v Speaker 2>I saw it.

893
00:50:18.639 --> 00:50:19.679
<v Speaker 3>Is that like an apport?

894
00:50:19.920 --> 00:50:21.679
<v Speaker 1>Like just something spiritually appearing?

895
00:50:22.679 --> 00:50:26.119
<v Speaker 2>Okay, here's the real short answer to this woman's question

896
00:50:26.199 --> 00:50:30.960
<v Speaker 2>from dem I don't have a clue. I have no life.

897
00:50:32.960 --> 00:50:35.960
<v Speaker 2>I'm not being funny. I mean it. I don't have

898
00:50:36.159 --> 00:50:39.639
<v Speaker 2>a clue. Well, well, I may know why, but I

899
00:50:39.639 --> 00:50:43.599
<v Speaker 2>don't know how that nail got in that cauldron? Did it? Anyway?

900
00:50:43.599 --> 00:50:47.239
<v Speaker 2>All right, let me start at the beginning. Okay, First

901
00:50:47.320 --> 00:50:53.320
<v Speaker 2>of all, I don't do vanishing spells, particularly maybe once

902
00:50:53.400 --> 00:50:56.559
<v Speaker 2>or twice in my whole life have I done anything

903
00:50:56.599 --> 00:51:02.719
<v Speaker 2>where I put something away from me. Rather, I would

904
00:51:02.800 --> 00:51:09.239
<v Speaker 2>much rather work in bringing in light energy and bringing

905
00:51:09.440 --> 00:51:16.000
<v Speaker 2>in the positive rather than banishing the negative. That's my perspective.

906
00:51:16.079 --> 00:51:17.519
<v Speaker 2>Those have you been listening to this podcast for a

907
00:51:17.559 --> 00:51:20.199
<v Speaker 2>long time. I'm the one who jokes about Samantha being

908
00:51:20.400 --> 00:51:23.280
<v Speaker 2>light and bubbly and pink right. Well, when it comes

909
00:51:23.320 --> 00:51:27.119
<v Speaker 2>to my work, I can be that way too, and

910
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:29.760
<v Speaker 2>so I'm not a banishing kind of gale. I would

911
00:51:29.800 --> 00:51:34.719
<v Speaker 2>instead do a protection spell, a border spell, for example,

912
00:51:35.280 --> 00:51:38.400
<v Speaker 2>or I would do something to wish this person well

913
00:51:38.760 --> 00:51:43.159
<v Speaker 2>in their life away from me. So my focus would

914
00:51:43.159 --> 00:51:46.679
<v Speaker 2>have been different than what this person did the nail.

915
00:51:49.280 --> 00:51:53.440
<v Speaker 2>I am aware that that is a symbol of unpleasantry

916
00:51:53.800 --> 00:51:59.960
<v Speaker 2>in relationships. I understand that somebody once offered me nails

917
00:52:00.119 --> 00:52:03.840
<v Speaker 2>that they had pulled from a coffin.

918
00:52:04.760 --> 00:52:06.920
<v Speaker 3>And I so the hell offered you that.

919
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:10.039
<v Speaker 2>We will not talk about that on gone air. Okay,

920
00:52:10.360 --> 00:52:13.599
<v Speaker 2>but somebody offered me nails, thinking I might want to

921
00:52:13.719 --> 00:52:15.760
<v Speaker 2>use them in my work, and I'm like, no, I

922
00:52:15.760 --> 00:52:20.320
<v Speaker 2>don't work goals. And I really ended relationship with that person.

923
00:52:20.480 --> 00:52:21.400
<v Speaker 3>Oh that scares me.

924
00:52:22.119 --> 00:52:22.320
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

925
00:52:22.440 --> 00:52:26.559
<v Speaker 3>Sorry, what's your view of fire? Because I don't do spells,

926
00:52:26.559 --> 00:52:27.760
<v Speaker 3>But I.

927
00:52:27.320 --> 00:52:29.840
<v Speaker 1>Read all these books and we have all these authors

928
00:52:29.880 --> 00:52:32.239
<v Speaker 1>on and I look at their stuff and I see

929
00:52:32.280 --> 00:52:35.159
<v Speaker 1>different things, like, if you want something to happen really

930
00:52:35.159 --> 00:52:38.519
<v Speaker 1>really quickly, you write your goal or intention and then

931
00:52:38.559 --> 00:52:40.679
<v Speaker 1>you burn it, and then I see other things. No,

932
00:52:40.960 --> 00:52:43.079
<v Speaker 1>you only use fire to get rid of stuff.

933
00:52:44.800 --> 00:52:47.480
<v Speaker 2>The answer is that works the way you believe it works. Okay,

934
00:52:49.639 --> 00:52:54.199
<v Speaker 2>And again it's about intention, but I understand the question

935
00:52:54.280 --> 00:52:56.840
<v Speaker 2>really is about the nail, and the answer is, I

936
00:52:56.880 --> 00:53:01.199
<v Speaker 2>really don't know how that nail appeared in your caldron

937
00:53:02.920 --> 00:53:05.800
<v Speaker 2>answer to that, But I do know this. I knew, No,

938
00:53:05.920 --> 00:53:07.000
<v Speaker 2>I wouldn't keep that nail.

939
00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:10.159
<v Speaker 3>What would you do with it? Throw it into running water?

940
00:53:12.039 --> 00:53:13.840
<v Speaker 2>I would either do that or I would bury it

941
00:53:13.880 --> 00:53:15.920
<v Speaker 2>and give it back to mother Earth. Because remember, nails

942
00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:17.000
<v Speaker 2>are made of iron, which.

943
00:53:16.800 --> 00:53:19.599
<v Speaker 3>Is a bury it off your property, right right?

944
00:53:20.079 --> 00:53:25.360
<v Speaker 1>Yeah, I'd probably like get a little bag of salt

945
00:53:25.920 --> 00:53:29.159
<v Speaker 1>and put the nail in that and then bury it.

946
00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:31.280
<v Speaker 2>No folks song called rock, Salt and Nails.

947
00:53:31.280 --> 00:53:34.639
<v Speaker 3>You know, Yeah, Okay.

948
00:53:34.800 --> 00:53:37.519
<v Speaker 1>Our last one says, I know I am not alone

949
00:53:37.559 --> 00:53:40.320
<v Speaker 1>in saying that your podcast has greatly enriched my life.

950
00:53:40.480 --> 00:53:43.360
<v Speaker 1>I think of you both as mentors and friends. I've

951
00:53:43.360 --> 00:53:45.679
<v Speaker 1>gotten so much out of the work you do that

952
00:53:45.760 --> 00:53:49.519
<v Speaker 1>keeps my passion's curiosity and confidence alive and thriving. Wow.

953
00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:53.840
<v Speaker 1>Thank you, Samantha. Your connection to Catholicism and the beautiful

954
00:53:53.840 --> 00:53:56.440
<v Speaker 1>way you model your ability to hold space for religion

955
00:53:56.480 --> 00:53:59.440
<v Speaker 1>and metaphysics has been a catalyst for me to get

956
00:53:59.440 --> 00:54:02.119
<v Speaker 1>back to my Catholic roots. The last four to five months,

957
00:54:02.440 --> 00:54:06.920
<v Speaker 1>which has been amazingly fulfilling the world of spirituality, after life,

958
00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:10.039
<v Speaker 1>angels and so on, sort of brought things full circle

959
00:54:10.119 --> 00:54:11.800
<v Speaker 1>for me. I owe a lot of this to you.

960
00:54:12.199 --> 00:54:12.440
<v Speaker 2>Wow.

961
00:54:12.559 --> 00:54:13.239
<v Speaker 3>Thank you again.

962
00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:17.239
<v Speaker 1>My late grandmother, who I adored, was what I called

963
00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.280
<v Speaker 1>the Queen of Catholics. I was rebellious and rejected traditional

964
00:54:21.320 --> 00:54:24.519
<v Speaker 1>religion most of my teen and adult life. She accepted

965
00:54:24.519 --> 00:54:27.800
<v Speaker 1>the fact that I had resisted religion, including making my confirmation,

966
00:54:28.039 --> 00:54:30.880
<v Speaker 1>and never forced it on me. I had been playing

967
00:54:30.880 --> 00:54:33.679
<v Speaker 1>with the idea of making my confirmation, and when I

968
00:54:33.760 --> 00:54:36.079
<v Speaker 1>found out through my new church that this would occur

969
00:54:36.159 --> 00:54:39.480
<v Speaker 1>on Easter, which happens to fall on my late grandmother's

970
00:54:39.519 --> 00:54:42.760
<v Speaker 1>birthday this year, which is very rare, I knew I

971
00:54:42.840 --> 00:54:45.360
<v Speaker 1>had to do it. Since signing up, I have been

972
00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:48.599
<v Speaker 1>asked to select a confirmation name. I wasn't feeling pulled

973
00:54:48.639 --> 00:54:51.480
<v Speaker 1>toward any specific saint name and just left it open

974
00:54:51.519 --> 00:54:53.760
<v Speaker 1>for God to show me what it should be. Not

975
00:54:53.920 --> 00:54:56.920
<v Speaker 1>long after I heard deb mentioned on the podcast being

976
00:54:57.039 --> 00:55:00.679
<v Speaker 1>named after Saint Deborah. I knew in that mon that

977
00:55:01.199 --> 00:55:05.239
<v Speaker 1>was my confirmation name. What better person to honor in

978
00:55:05.239 --> 00:55:08.840
<v Speaker 1>a name that reflects my spiritual connection than one of

979
00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:13.320
<v Speaker 1>my primary spiritual mentors of my life so far, Deb Bowen. Oh,

980
00:55:13.360 --> 00:55:15.480
<v Speaker 1>Deb past the tissues.

981
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:19.039
<v Speaker 2>I got some things to say about this for aidad Okay.

982
00:55:18.760 --> 00:55:22.159
<v Speaker 1>She continues, it gets better. I looked into Saint Deborah

983
00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.360
<v Speaker 1>and saw that she is connected to bees and bee keeping.

984
00:55:25.920 --> 00:55:28.880
<v Speaker 1>My husband's spirit animal is the bee, and we very

985
00:55:28.960 --> 00:55:31.920
<v Speaker 1>much help each other grow spiritually. He is a non

986
00:55:31.960 --> 00:55:35.440
<v Speaker 1>Catholic church goer and was another catalyst for me seeing

987
00:55:35.480 --> 00:55:38.840
<v Speaker 1>the value in church and traditional religion. I was so

988
00:55:39.079 --> 00:55:41.880
<v Speaker 1>happy to see an additional connection to this name and

989
00:55:41.960 --> 00:55:46.159
<v Speaker 1>saying it still gets better. I feel like I'm watching QVC. Wait,

990
00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:50.159
<v Speaker 1>there's more. I had been meaning to send this email,

991
00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:52.760
<v Speaker 1>and just last night, as I was falling asleep, it

992
00:55:52.800 --> 00:55:57.559
<v Speaker 1>occurred to me, what was my grandmother's confirmation name? Oh

993
00:55:57.559 --> 00:56:01.960
<v Speaker 1>my gosh, it was Deborah. I was stunned and overwhelmed

994
00:56:02.039 --> 00:56:05.800
<v Speaker 1>remembering this. I owe my Catholic roots to my grandmother

995
00:56:06.159 --> 00:56:09.400
<v Speaker 1>and am doing this confirmation ceremony mostly in her honor,

996
00:56:09.760 --> 00:56:12.800
<v Speaker 1>And it hadn't even occurred to me to ask myself

997
00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:16.559
<v Speaker 1>what her confirmation name was. All this time, I knew

998
00:56:16.559 --> 00:56:18.800
<v Speaker 1>intuitively I had to come to it on my own,

999
00:56:19.239 --> 00:56:21.480
<v Speaker 1>and I feel her smiling on all of the non

1000
00:56:21.519 --> 00:56:24.719
<v Speaker 1>religious ways I connect to spirituality as represented by deb

1001
00:56:25.360 --> 00:56:28.079
<v Speaker 1>I hope the story makes you both smile and know

1002
00:56:28.639 --> 00:56:31.599
<v Speaker 1>that this Easter I will be taking on the name

1003
00:56:31.639 --> 00:56:34.960
<v Speaker 1>Deborah as part of my spiritual identity with my grandmother,

1004
00:56:35.400 --> 00:56:38.679
<v Speaker 1>my husband, and my psychic teachers in my heart.

1005
00:56:39.039 --> 00:56:42.960
<v Speaker 2>Oh my gosh, I am so embarrassed.

1006
00:56:44.360 --> 00:56:46.119
<v Speaker 3>Why why are you embarrassed?

1007
00:56:46.400 --> 00:56:49.199
<v Speaker 2>I'm honored, but I'm so embarrassed. I mean, good golly,

1008
00:56:49.480 --> 00:56:52.840
<v Speaker 2>oh my golly. Oh, that's a huge honor, and I

1009
00:56:53.039 --> 00:56:56.440
<v Speaker 2>so appreciate it. Thank you so much. What I actually

1010
00:56:56.679 --> 00:57:01.519
<v Speaker 2>said on that episode she's referring to was not Saint Deborah,

1011
00:57:01.800 --> 00:57:05.519
<v Speaker 2>but Judges Deborah. In the Old Testament of the Book

1012
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:09.079
<v Speaker 2>of Judges, there is a woman named Deborah, and.

1013
00:57:09.119 --> 00:57:11.320
<v Speaker 3>She heard Saint Deblis.

1014
00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:11.880
<v Speaker 2>She heard that.

1015
00:57:12.320 --> 00:57:14.280
<v Speaker 3>There's a reason for that, because.

1016
00:57:14.079 --> 00:57:16.239
<v Speaker 2>I don't know anything about Saint Deborah. I'm honored, and

1017
00:57:16.280 --> 00:57:20.400
<v Speaker 2>I thank you. And I love that it's about your

1018
00:57:20.400 --> 00:57:24.719
<v Speaker 2>grandmother and your husband and about connecting to your own

1019
00:57:24.760 --> 00:57:28.719
<v Speaker 2>spiritual growth and process. And I love that when one word,

1020
00:57:28.800 --> 00:57:33.199
<v Speaker 2>no matter what the word is, becomes a catalyst and

1021
00:57:33.280 --> 00:57:39.719
<v Speaker 2>a connector amongst so many ways of being in the world.

1022
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:44.840
<v Speaker 2>For example, in my newsletter early in January, I wrote

1023
00:57:44.880 --> 00:57:48.119
<v Speaker 2>about my word for the year being empty. That is

1024
00:57:48.159 --> 00:57:53.679
<v Speaker 2>my word empty, and so much happened, and so many

1025
00:57:53.760 --> 00:57:57.519
<v Speaker 2>of you have written me about how that has felt

1026
00:57:57.559 --> 00:58:00.480
<v Speaker 2>to you to find that word as a lists for

1027
00:58:00.519 --> 00:58:02.800
<v Speaker 2>you as well. So I love all of our connection

1028
00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:07.400
<v Speaker 2>with that. But the web just keeps growing with that word,

1029
00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:12.000
<v Speaker 2>and I have a feeling that your confirmation name will

1030
00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.280
<v Speaker 2>keep growing with you in layers of how you look

1031
00:58:15.320 --> 00:58:19.000
<v Speaker 2>at the meaning of all the information that comes connected

1032
00:58:19.280 --> 00:58:22.519
<v Speaker 2>to that word. For you. So when Easter comes around,

1033
00:58:23.320 --> 00:58:25.880
<v Speaker 2>I will be thinking of you and your confirmation name

1034
00:58:25.920 --> 00:58:28.199
<v Speaker 2>on that morning. How wonderful. Thank you.

1035
00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.719
<v Speaker 1>We should light a candle for her on Easter morning,

1036
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:31.440
<v Speaker 1>I will.

1037
00:58:31.760 --> 00:58:32.239
<v Speaker 2>Yeah.

1038
00:58:32.480 --> 00:58:34.400
<v Speaker 3>I love that. That is so beautiful.

1039
00:58:35.039 --> 00:58:37.480
<v Speaker 1>She's right, there is more because think about everything that

1040
00:58:37.519 --> 00:58:40.159
<v Speaker 1>had to happen, Easter's landing on her grandmother's birthday.

1041
00:58:40.599 --> 00:58:41.159
<v Speaker 2>I love it.

1042
00:58:41.239 --> 00:58:43.800
<v Speaker 1>I mean the connections, that's so so beautiful.

1043
00:58:44.400 --> 00:58:44.599
<v Speaker 2>You know.

1044
00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:48.840
<v Speaker 1>I try not to read reviews of my books because

1045
00:58:49.000 --> 00:58:52.159
<v Speaker 1>you know that's tricky and hard. And someone left a

1046
00:58:52.239 --> 00:58:55.719
<v Speaker 1>review and it said something like I really enjoyed this

1047
00:58:55.760 --> 00:59:00.280
<v Speaker 1>book even though I heard most of this on her podcast,

1048
00:59:01.119 --> 00:59:03.159
<v Speaker 1>and it wasn't like a bad.

1049
00:59:02.960 --> 00:59:04.639
<v Speaker 3>Review, do you know what I mean? But I just

1050
00:59:04.679 --> 00:59:05.280
<v Speaker 3>looked at.

1051
00:59:05.119 --> 00:59:08.800
<v Speaker 1>That and I was like, yeah, after fifteen years, do

1052
00:59:08.880 --> 00:59:11.239
<v Speaker 1>I have anything new to say? Which just kind of

1053
00:59:11.280 --> 00:59:13.400
<v Speaker 1>sent me into this little slump. Does that ever happen

1054
00:59:13.440 --> 00:59:15.639
<v Speaker 1>to you where you're like, yeah, I don't know that

1055
00:59:15.679 --> 00:59:18.400
<v Speaker 1>I have anything new to offer or say or give.

1056
00:59:19.119 --> 00:59:22.199
<v Speaker 1>And then I read an email like this and it's like, no,

1057
00:59:23.280 --> 00:59:25.599
<v Speaker 1>it doesn't have to be that hard. Samantha to Echo

1058
00:59:25.679 --> 00:59:28.360
<v Speaker 1>or other listener, just keep on keeping on and sharing

1059
00:59:28.400 --> 00:59:30.280
<v Speaker 1>your light. That's what it's all about.

1060
00:59:30.719 --> 00:59:33.880
<v Speaker 2>It really is, and golly we're trying. We do have

1061
00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:36.000
<v Speaker 2>some new things coming up this year and some things

1062
00:59:36.000 --> 00:59:36.960
<v Speaker 2>we want to revisit.

1063
00:59:37.199 --> 00:59:40.400
<v Speaker 1>But anyway, thank you so much everyone. All of these

1064
00:59:40.440 --> 00:59:43.920
<v Speaker 1>emails and stories just are really so touching and so

1065
00:59:44.039 --> 00:59:46.840
<v Speaker 1>affirming and remind us that.

1066
00:59:47.559 --> 00:59:48.920
<v Speaker 3>We really are a community.

1067
00:59:48.960 --> 00:59:52.119
<v Speaker 1>We really are sitting around a little fireplace tonight listening

1068
00:59:52.119 --> 00:59:54.559
<v Speaker 1>to all of this and connecting with one another. And

1069
00:59:54.599 --> 00:59:57.480
<v Speaker 1>if any of these stories have touched your heart, I

1070
00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.360
<v Speaker 1>really would invite you all to say a prayer for

1071
01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:03.880
<v Speaker 1>all of these listeners who are going through big stuff

1072
01:00:03.880 --> 01:00:06.559
<v Speaker 1>and happy stuff and hard stuff, because we can all

1073
01:00:06.679 --> 01:00:10.440
<v Speaker 1>use every bit of positive energy floating our way.

1074
01:00:11.679 --> 01:00:14.800
<v Speaker 2>Absolutely we can. There's no such thing as enough light

1075
01:00:14.880 --> 01:00:15.719
<v Speaker 2>and love in the world.

1076
01:00:16.199 --> 01:00:17.880
