WEBVTT 1 00:00:17.039 --> 00:00:20.519 Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Deb. 2 00:00:20.399 --> 00:00:22.920 Bowen and I'm Samantha Fay, and. 3 00:00:22.839 --> 00:00:25.519 We're so excited that you are with us for our 4 00:00:25.600 --> 00:00:30.280 monthly question, answer and Comments episode. So take a deep breath, 5 00:00:30.359 --> 00:00:32.759 make a cup of tea, and listen to some of 6 00:00:32.799 --> 00:00:36.799 the wonderful questions and comments that we've gotten from folks. Samantha, 7 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:37.840 I'm going to get us started. 8 00:00:38.200 --> 00:00:38.840 Sounds good. 9 00:00:39.439 --> 00:00:44.200 I've been a truth seeker all my life, questioning everything 10 00:00:44.280 --> 00:00:47.240 since I was a little boy. I learned the value 11 00:00:47.280 --> 00:00:51.719 of being grounded in nature and meditation. I recognized that 12 00:00:51.840 --> 00:00:56.679 I was different. I was very empathetic and felt things deeply. 13 00:00:57.159 --> 00:01:00.640 I have been a student of various religions throughout my life. 14 00:01:00.840 --> 00:01:05.920 I recently completed a six month course on gnosticism. Although 15 00:01:05.920 --> 00:01:09.840 your podcast resonates with me, I find life so complex. 16 00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:13.560 You two have courage for the path you're on. I'm 17 00:01:13.640 --> 00:01:17.040 still searching. I enjoyed the episode of Gnosticism, but it 18 00:01:17.120 --> 00:01:20.000 left me with more questions and the feeling of life 19 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:24.640 being very complex. Your voices also gave light, and that's 20 00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:28.280 a good thing. Oh. I love this comment. Here's my 21 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:32.319 take on this. You I, all of us who are 22 00:01:32.359 --> 00:01:35.439 on whatever paths we are on at any given moment 23 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:40.040 in our lives are seekers and we always will be. 24 00:01:41.480 --> 00:01:44.920 I don't know that there is ever a definitive this 25 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:48.959 is it answer, at least not for me. And so 26 00:01:50.000 --> 00:01:56.959 when you move along your spiritual path, note the changes, 27 00:01:57.159 --> 00:02:00.959 pay attention to them, honor them. You don't have to 28 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:06.640 accept everything you're learning. There is nothing that is absolute 29 00:02:07.280 --> 00:02:10.360 in the process that I think we go through. I 30 00:02:10.360 --> 00:02:15.120 think of this adventure of learning about metaphysics as peeling 31 00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:19.840 an onion. There is always another layer. Remember in high 32 00:02:19.840 --> 00:02:22.680 school when you look at the cells of an onion 33 00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.120 under a microscope and you saw that there were cells 34 00:02:25.159 --> 00:02:28.680 within the cells. That's what this is like too. So 35 00:02:28.759 --> 00:02:32.639 be kind to yourself, be patient with yourself. I can't 36 00:02:32.680 --> 00:02:35.759 tell you enough how important I think it is to 37 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:41.280 journal about your experiences and your learning process. One of 38 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.919 the things if you take a class with me, that 39 00:02:44.240 --> 00:02:48.439 you hear me say every single time is try writing 40 00:02:48.520 --> 00:02:52.960 down what your journey has been up to this moment, 41 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.319 and then keep records as to how that journey grows 42 00:02:57.439 --> 00:03:00.400 and you evolve and you learn as you read and 43 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:03.280 study more and look at the world through a variety 44 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.360 of lenses, and what an exciting adventure that he. 45 00:03:06.400 --> 00:03:09.919 Is, well said, and you know what, dev, I want 46 00:03:09.919 --> 00:03:13.120 to always be a seeker too. It's boring to have 47 00:03:13.159 --> 00:03:14.199 all the answers. 48 00:03:14.439 --> 00:03:16.879 Oh, I can't imagine even thinking that I might have 49 00:03:16.960 --> 00:03:22.680 all the answers. I'm even other questions exactly, and I 50 00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:23.879 think that's so much fun. 51 00:03:24.680 --> 00:03:28.199 I totally agree, beautifully said Okay. 52 00:03:28.120 --> 00:03:31.319 Our ex Wood says, Ever since last month's full moon, 53 00:03:31.439 --> 00:03:34.400 I've had sudden, intense thoughts about a guy I used 54 00:03:34.400 --> 00:03:36.800 to know when I was much younger but lost touch with. 55 00:03:37.319 --> 00:03:39.319 I haven't really thought much about him in a good 56 00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:42.719 fifteen years or so, but these thoughts were so sudden 57 00:03:42.840 --> 00:03:46.000 and intense, and I couldn't shake them for weeks. I 58 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:49.080 felt an inner nudge to handwrite a letter, but of 59 00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.719 course my logical brain kept trying to brush off the 60 00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.120 thoughts and throw in every doubt imaginable. But since I 61 00:03:56.199 --> 00:03:58.879 kept getting a nudge, I asked my guides for a 62 00:03:58.919 --> 00:04:02.280 sign that I should write and mail the letter. I 63 00:04:02.319 --> 00:04:05.680 asked for a red songbird if it's a no, a 64 00:04:05.840 --> 00:04:08.800 yellow bird if it's a yes but not right now, 65 00:04:09.400 --> 00:04:12.919 and a green songbird if I'm good to go, and 66 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:15.479 for good measure, I also asked to see a version 67 00:04:15.599 --> 00:04:18.560 of the car he used to drive in early nineties 68 00:04:18.560 --> 00:04:22.319 beat up blue Ford station wagon. The next day, I'm 69 00:04:22.360 --> 00:04:25.279 second guessing myself and kicking myself that I asked for 70 00:04:25.360 --> 00:04:29.000 a green songbird? What green songbird am I going to 71 00:04:29.040 --> 00:04:32.000 realistically see in the winter? So I was like, girl, 72 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:33.439 calm down, maybe you'll see a. 73 00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:35.480 Picture or something. Just trust the process. 74 00:04:36.399 --> 00:04:38.560 Two days later, I'm driving to a store to run 75 00:04:38.720 --> 00:04:41.199 errands and got stuck in a ton of traffic. I 76 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.519 was annoyed, but actually had a quiet moment to sit still. 77 00:04:44.959 --> 00:04:47.800 So I turned on the radio and the Beatles song 78 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:51.120 and Your Bird Can Sing started playing. Then I hear 79 00:04:51.199 --> 00:04:54.720 the line and your bird is green. It stood out 80 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.240 as if there was a spotlight on that one line. 81 00:04:57.319 --> 00:05:00.480 I got chills and had to laugh. I thanked my guides, 82 00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.720 adding the last thing I expected was a song lyric 83 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.000 thank you, and I heard her response back, well, you 84 00:05:07.040 --> 00:05:11.240 asked for a songbird, what did you expect? As I 85 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:13.560 finished my errands and came out of the store, I 86 00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.279 was shocked to see parked right next to me an old, 87 00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.879 beat up blue early nineties forward station wagon. So I 88 00:05:21.920 --> 00:05:24.839 wrote my letter with my best intentions and mailed it out. 89 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:28.160 That same night, I had a dream visitation. 90 00:05:27.759 --> 00:05:28.680 With this old friend. 91 00:05:29.279 --> 00:05:33.079 It abruptly interrupted a nonsense dream I was having, and 92 00:05:33.199 --> 00:05:36.160 suddenly it was as if we were dropped into this space, 93 00:05:36.480 --> 00:05:38.879 just the two of us having coffee, and I couldn't 94 00:05:38.879 --> 00:05:41.560 see anything beyond us on the table, as if we 95 00:05:41.560 --> 00:05:44.199 were in a bubble. It was super vivid and sudden. 96 00:05:44.800 --> 00:05:47.040 The first thing I said was whoa, how did we 97 00:05:47.120 --> 00:05:50.720 get here? He just smiled, and then I said, oh, 98 00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:54.199 it must be because of the letter. He seemed confused 99 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.079 and said what letter. I said, I just emailed you 100 00:05:57.120 --> 00:05:59.560 a letter today. He said, wow, you did all that, 101 00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.120 and we were just having coffee all this time. The 102 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:06.439 only dream visitations I've ever had were from close relatives 103 00:06:06.480 --> 00:06:09.160 that passed I'm curious if you've ever heard of people 104 00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:12.879 having dream visitations with people who are living or maybe 105 00:06:12.879 --> 00:06:15.360 my old friend has passed on and I didn't realize it. 106 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.480 I would love to hear your thoughts. I have heard of. 107 00:06:19.639 --> 00:06:24.759 People having dream visitations with living people. I've experienced that myself. 108 00:06:25.360 --> 00:06:28.079 I think it's fairly common and it tends to happen 109 00:06:28.199 --> 00:06:31.000 when one of the two people in the dream is 110 00:06:31.040 --> 00:06:36.199 going through something really troubling, sad, or stressful, and often 111 00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:40.639 their heart chakra reaches out to that invisible web that 112 00:06:40.680 --> 00:06:44.360 connects us all to anyone that has loved them or 113 00:06:44.399 --> 00:06:47.040 cared for them or thought about them, to kind of 114 00:06:47.079 --> 00:06:51.160 pull in that energy of extra light and positivity and 115 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:53.879 good hope and prayers. And I think that's what you 116 00:06:53.920 --> 00:06:56.519 were being called to do. You had a bond of 117 00:06:56.560 --> 00:06:59.439 love that connected you at one time, and he's relying 118 00:06:59.480 --> 00:07:01.279 on that bond of love to help them get through 119 00:07:01.279 --> 00:07:04.720 a difficult time. I hope you get a positive response 120 00:07:04.759 --> 00:07:07.720 from that letter. From the signs to the dream experience 121 00:07:07.800 --> 00:07:10.240 of the nudge, that's a pretty amazing experience. 122 00:07:10.680 --> 00:07:12.920 And I have one more thing to say about that. 123 00:07:13.720 --> 00:07:15.959 I think of myself as being pretty well versed in 124 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:18.639 Beatles music, and I don't know that song, so I'm 125 00:07:18.639 --> 00:07:20.319 going to go look it up. So thanks for that. 126 00:07:20.560 --> 00:07:22.319 What do you think about the dream visit? Have you 127 00:07:22.319 --> 00:07:24.480 had a dream visitation with a living person? 128 00:07:25.279 --> 00:07:30.279 I have, and periodically. Of course. My perspective is that 129 00:07:30.360 --> 00:07:33.920 in a dream like that, I'm seeing a part of myself. 130 00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.279 That person doesn't represent someone else, that represents a part 131 00:07:37.279 --> 00:07:40.560 of me because that's that YOUNGI in perspective of how 132 00:07:40.600 --> 00:07:41.399 our dreams work. 133 00:07:41.759 --> 00:07:46.519 Yeah, but it's a very authentic dream interpretation. I think 134 00:07:46.680 --> 00:07:49.240 it has to depend on the emotion that goes along 135 00:07:49.279 --> 00:07:52.120 with it. For her, she was pulled out of another 136 00:07:52.240 --> 00:07:56.480 dream and then plopped into this vivid space. I think 137 00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.240 you have to look at the feelings that accompany those 138 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:03.839 vivid dream experiences and ask is this symbolic? Should I 139 00:08:03.879 --> 00:08:07.000 look at what aspect of me is reflected in this 140 00:08:07.120 --> 00:08:11.399 friendship or the personality of this person, or do I 141 00:08:11.480 --> 00:08:13.879 feel like our souls were actually meeting and having a 142 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:14.920 cup of coffee together? 143 00:08:15.399 --> 00:08:19.120 Exactly? Thank you for sharing that. That's great, Okay. Our 144 00:08:19.160 --> 00:08:21.959 next one says My family and I moved from the 145 00:08:22.000 --> 00:08:25.800 city about five months ago. Since living here on acres 146 00:08:25.839 --> 00:08:29.720 of land, I've been meditating out in nature regularly and 147 00:08:29.759 --> 00:08:33.120 feeling more in touch with my spiritual side. My four 148 00:08:33.200 --> 00:08:36.600 year old son has become very interested in crystals, so 149 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:40.039 we've been learning about them together. When I first moved here, 150 00:08:40.080 --> 00:08:42.799 I was seeing a lot of positive signs that made 151 00:08:42.840 --> 00:08:45.159 me feel like we'd made the right choice with our move, 152 00:08:45.759 --> 00:08:49.480 but there have also been some eerie experiences. My four 153 00:08:49.559 --> 00:08:52.600 year old said at first that his room felt spooky 154 00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:55.440 at night and that he felt there were many eyes 155 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.320 looking at him. My two year old woke several times 156 00:08:59.360 --> 00:09:03.159 crying at night night, had nightmares, and started saying things 157 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.559 like his lamp was talking to him. I have since 158 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:09.279 placed a Himalleian salt lamp in each of their rooms 159 00:09:09.600 --> 00:09:13.639 as night lights, placed an amethyst by their bedsides, which 160 00:09:13.679 --> 00:09:16.639 I say a small prayer over each night, and have 161 00:09:16.799 --> 00:09:19.960 smudged the whole house several times. They seemed to feel 162 00:09:20.000 --> 00:09:23.279 safe and generally fall asleep now. I've also had my 163 00:09:23.360 --> 00:09:27.399 own spooky experiences when up with my baby at night, 164 00:09:27.480 --> 00:09:31.840 I consistently felt a spooky energy in one corner. I 165 00:09:31.919 --> 00:09:34.399 also began to fall asleep while nursing her in the 166 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:38.000 rocking chair and was awakened by whispers in both ears. 167 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:41.600 This one felt almost like someone was kindly waking me, 168 00:09:41.919 --> 00:09:45.120 so I didn't drop the baby. When sleeping in my 169 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.879 own bed, I was roused by what sounded like a 170 00:09:47.919 --> 00:09:51.399 shout in the house and sent my husband to investigate, 171 00:09:51.720 --> 00:09:53.559 but none of the kids were awake and there was 172 00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:56.639 nothing in the house. He had not heard the shout 173 00:09:56.919 --> 00:09:59.200 when sleeping with my baby in my bed. One night, 174 00:09:59.559 --> 00:10:02.799 I woke in sleep paralysis, sensing that there was a 175 00:10:02.879 --> 00:10:06.240 negative energy in the room, and while still dreaming, I 176 00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:08.799 struggled to sit up and told it to go away. 177 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:12.279 The most startling experience I had was sleeping in my 178 00:10:12.320 --> 00:10:15.120 bed alone in the early morning. I was roused from 179 00:10:15.159 --> 00:10:19.320 sleep by something saying pss urgently in my left ear, 180 00:10:19.919 --> 00:10:22.600 as if it was right at my ear. I could 181 00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:25.320 feel it. I was again in sleep paralysis and was 182 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.279 struggling to get up. I called a local psychic, something 183 00:10:28.360 --> 00:10:31.399 I've never done before. I felt a bit silly telling 184 00:10:31.440 --> 00:10:35.159 her my experience, as I was still skeptical. She validated 185 00:10:35.240 --> 00:10:37.799 my experience and told me she didn't feel the presence 186 00:10:38.159 --> 00:10:40.759 had been evil, but she thought I was awakened to 187 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:44.360 my intuition and picking up on spirits. She told me 188 00:10:44.399 --> 00:10:47.320 I needed to set boundaries. Since then, I say a 189 00:10:47.360 --> 00:10:50.919 prayer every night before sleep, asking for God and my 190 00:10:51.039 --> 00:10:54.480 angels to protect me and my children from being scared 191 00:10:54.480 --> 00:10:58.399 and let asleep peacefully. I also found a hematite ring 192 00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:00.919 that I bought years ago and have been weighing it 193 00:11:00.960 --> 00:11:06.360 when I sleep. I haven't had another sleep paralysis episode since. Overall, 194 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.120 I have been feeling more in touch with my spirituality 195 00:11:09.159 --> 00:11:13.960 since the experience, and have delved deeper listening to your podcast, meditating, 196 00:11:14.279 --> 00:11:17.639 speaking to my guides and angels, finding crystals, and really 197 00:11:17.679 --> 00:11:21.000 believing it all this much more. I feel open to 198 00:11:21.039 --> 00:11:25.799 awakening further. However, I still feel spooked at night and 199 00:11:25.840 --> 00:11:28.559 can't seem to shake it. Once it's dark and I'm 200 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:30.799 getting ready for bed, I can't help but feel a 201 00:11:30.840 --> 00:11:34.039 bit scared and feel that I am being watched. I 202 00:11:34.120 --> 00:11:36.759 lay awake in bed with a racing heart, trying to 203 00:11:36.799 --> 00:11:40.480 soothe myself. Cognitively, I feel I need to let go 204 00:11:40.559 --> 00:11:42.799 of the fear because I sense that I'm actually feeding 205 00:11:42.879 --> 00:11:46.519 or even creating the energy. Perhaps I'm almost inviting it 206 00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.080 there because I am still thinking about it. I'm curious 207 00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.080 about your interpretation and any advice you might have for 208 00:11:53.159 --> 00:11:56.360 me to shake the spooky nighttime energy for good. I 209 00:11:56.399 --> 00:11:58.360 love it when people answer their own questions. 210 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:02.000 It makes our job so much easier. 211 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:09.399 It really does. Don't feed the energy. I am sure 212 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:13.440 that having come from the city and out into the 213 00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:18.320 country that is energetically a big difference in your life, 214 00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:23.399 not only physically, but energetically. Nature will take care of 215 00:12:23.440 --> 00:12:27.320 you being in that natural world is a wonderful thing. 216 00:12:27.879 --> 00:12:32.200 Feed that energy instead. You've done some nice things that 217 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:35.080 are very helpful, and I think anybody moving into a 218 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.840 new space might want to do smudging and clearing and 219 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:41.639 setting up boundaries and some crystals and so forth. All 220 00:12:41.759 --> 00:12:46.440 that's good things to do. But also it's important to 221 00:12:46.559 --> 00:12:50.799 invite in energy that is helpful to you. So some 222 00:12:50.879 --> 00:12:54.639 positive crystals, not just hematite, but some positive crystals like 223 00:12:54.679 --> 00:12:58.200 your Himalayan salt lamp and some amethysts is certainly good. 224 00:12:58.360 --> 00:13:03.480 And just believe that you are safe and protected and 225 00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:06.840 that you live in a bubble of light and changing 226 00:13:07.000 --> 00:13:10.960 your perspective will help a great deal, and I think 227 00:13:10.960 --> 00:13:13.639 then you'll feel a lot safer. You don't mention that 228 00:13:13.679 --> 00:13:16.360 your husband has any feelings of not being safe, and 229 00:13:16.759 --> 00:13:19.080 so you might you talk to him about this sort 230 00:13:19.080 --> 00:13:21.480 of stuff. You might see why he feels safe and 231 00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:24.279 how he might help you feel safer. And I think 232 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:28.840 also as a parent of young children, the anxiety of 233 00:13:28.879 --> 00:13:32.200 that is also plays into to your concern about where 234 00:13:32.200 --> 00:13:34.919 you live. No matter where you live, so send out 235 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:38.759 some trust and belief and believe that you will be fine. 236 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.320 Yeah, I agree, And I also agree with what the 237 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:46.759 local intuitive told her, because it's true. Very often when 238 00:13:47.279 --> 00:13:50.279 you start to waken up to your intuitive abilities and 239 00:13:50.320 --> 00:13:53.440 you're really getting on that spiritual path, you will have 240 00:13:53.519 --> 00:13:57.000 experiences like this that do feel scary, But if you 241 00:13:57.039 --> 00:14:02.039 look at the examples, they're not terrifying. The few times 242 00:14:02.039 --> 00:14:05.519 she's been woken up, it's usually been to protect her 243 00:14:05.840 --> 00:14:08.519 or wake her up so she can be safe with 244 00:14:08.600 --> 00:14:11.519 her baby. So it might even be positive. 245 00:14:11.200 --> 00:14:12.120 Energies that are there. 246 00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:16.320 But there is something a lot of intuitive researchers think 247 00:14:16.360 --> 00:14:20.879 that this also enhances a woman's intuition. We always hear 248 00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:25.039 that pregnant women tend to be more psychic during that time. Well, 249 00:14:25.080 --> 00:14:27.279 they think it could be because the heart chakra is 250 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.200 so wide open, and that's the bridge chakra that allows 251 00:14:30.240 --> 00:14:33.399 everything else to awaken and work. So it could go 252 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.200 hand in hand with the move into nature and you know, 253 00:14:36.279 --> 00:14:39.200 really diving into your motherhood and having the new baby 254 00:14:39.279 --> 00:14:41.720 and all of that. But Deb's right, the more that 255 00:14:41.799 --> 00:14:46.399 you trust in yourself, trust in your own energy. You said, 256 00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.000 could I be creating this or feeding this? And Deb 257 00:14:49.080 --> 00:14:51.519 said yes, And I would agree with that too. So 258 00:14:51.559 --> 00:14:54.000 if you have that power to create this or feed this. 259 00:14:54.639 --> 00:14:58.200 Remember you have the power to create anything you want, 260 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.679 and that includes a peaceful light sleep. 261 00:15:01.279 --> 00:15:01.879 There you go. 262 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:05.399 All right, we're going to take our very first quick 263 00:15:05.440 --> 00:15:06.320 break of the show. 264 00:15:06.440 --> 00:15:07.679 We'll be right back. 265 00:15:10.440 --> 00:15:13.559 Hi, everybody. Here are a couple of events that I've 266 00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:16.240 got coming up, and I so hope you'll join me. 267 00:15:17.159 --> 00:15:21.480 On Saturday, January thirty.

Thanks everybody, 279 00:16:07.519 --> 00:16:08.240 Welcome back. 280 00:16:08.720 --> 00:16:12.200 Our next one says I recently began connecting with spirit 281 00:16:12.279 --> 00:16:15.519 and my mom came through, but her physical body is 282 00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:20.000 still here alive Earth's side, which is confusing. She had 283 00:16:20.039 --> 00:16:23.720 stage four cancer when I was younger, went through brutal treatments, 284 00:16:23.759 --> 00:16:26.159 and has been in and out of remission my whole life. 285 00:16:27.080 --> 00:16:29.440 In the dream, she told me she left her body 286 00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:32.320 because it was no longer right for her, but that 287 00:16:32.360 --> 00:16:36.360 she'll see me again in future lives. She was apologetic 288 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:39.720 and expressed so much love for my children that she's 289 00:16:39.759 --> 00:16:44.600 never met. Is something like this possible? Could another soul 290 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:45.679 be in her body? 291 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:45.919 Now? 292 00:16:46.600 --> 00:16:50.159 I've tried researching souls leaving the body before physical death, 293 00:16:50.440 --> 00:16:54.600 but I haven't found anything that explains this. Oh, Dad, 294 00:16:54.639 --> 00:16:57.919 remember when this was such a big topic, like forty 295 00:16:58.159 --> 00:16:58.720 years ago. 296 00:16:59.600 --> 00:16:59.879 Yep. 297 00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.000 It's called the walk in and there have been a 298 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.119 lot of books written on walkins. And I don't know 299 00:17:07.160 --> 00:17:09.279 where I stand on that. I have to be honest, 300 00:17:09.440 --> 00:17:11.799 I don't want to believe in the concept. I don't 301 00:17:11.839 --> 00:17:15.039 want to believe that you could have a mother, a father, 302 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:18.359 a partner, a child, a best friend, whatever, and they 303 00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:22.720 go through something traumatic and their souls like peace, I'm out, 304 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:26.240 and some random new soul comes in and you're still 305 00:17:26.680 --> 00:17:29.599 married to that person or being parented by that person. 306 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:33.319 I don't want to believe in that, do you Nope, Mark, 307 00:17:37.759 --> 00:17:40.519 Oh yeah, I don't really want to either. But to 308 00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:43.319 this listener, if you do a quick Google search of 309 00:17:43.599 --> 00:17:47.319 Walkins or walk in Souls, you will find some of 310 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:49.160 the old books that they might be out of print 311 00:17:49.200 --> 00:17:51.920 by now, but you can always try archive dot org 312 00:17:52.079 --> 00:17:56.680 orthriftbooks dot com. I would like to think that your 313 00:17:56.799 --> 00:17:59.400 mom and the soul of your mom is still in 314 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.079 her field pysical body, but there might be a part 315 00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:03.920 of her, a piece of her that she's had to 316 00:18:04.000 --> 00:18:07.599 keep hidden away because I don't know. There's something about 317 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:10.480 going through cancer. I call it the ghost that haunts 318 00:18:10.480 --> 00:18:13.119 you the rest of your life. It's just always in 319 00:18:13.160 --> 00:18:15.480 the back of your mind. And maybe there's just a 320 00:18:15.519 --> 00:18:17.799 part of your mom that she just has had to 321 00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:21.559 tuck away to be able to feel safe in the world. 322 00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:24.599 And maybe that's the part that you are encountering in 323 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:25.759 your dream a. 324 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:30.839 So our next one says, Ever, since discovering your podcast 325 00:18:30.839 --> 00:18:33.640 a few summers ago, I have become a devoted and 326 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:37.839 grateful listener. I cannot wait for Mondays to arrive. Thank you. 327 00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:41.799 Like the two of you, I am an educator specifically, 328 00:18:41.839 --> 00:18:45.319 I teach high school choir. I would like to share 329 00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:49.160 a practice I have developed for our classroom since becoming 330 00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:52.559 a listener of your show. Perhaps other listeners will find 331 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:55.279 it useful. I have set up a crystal grid on 332 00:18:55.319 --> 00:18:59.920 the high shelves above our room, five points with five 333 00:19:00.079 --> 00:19:04.519 crystal stones, each one chosen to help direct, soothe, and 334 00:19:04.599 --> 00:19:06.960 make the most of the abundant all over the place 335 00:19:07.039 --> 00:19:11.319 squarely teenage energy in our classroom every day. The grid 336 00:19:11.359 --> 00:19:14.759 consists of rose quarts for love and heart connection, tiger 337 00:19:14.839 --> 00:19:19.160 I for self confidence, blew appetite for motivation, creativity and 338 00:19:19.200 --> 00:19:24.559 self discipline, Amazonite for harmony and communication, and black thermaline 339 00:19:24.599 --> 00:19:30.599 to deflect negative energy, protection and reduce anxiety. I regularly 340 00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:34.079 remove the hard working grid to give all of its 341 00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:37.799 components a rest in the magical stands off the island 342 00:19:37.839 --> 00:19:40.880 of the coast of North Carolina. I then recharge them 343 00:19:40.880 --> 00:19:43.759 for a little while in the sunlights, so that on 344 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:46.240 the same shore before putting them all in that cozy 345 00:19:46.240 --> 00:19:49.880 crystal family pouch, they are ready to work again. In 346 00:19:49.880 --> 00:19:53.519 addition to the crystal grid, I regularly cleanse the perimeter 347 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:57.839 of our classroom with selenite. While playing ambient music of 348 00:19:57.880 --> 00:20:00.920 four hundred and thirty two to five hundred twenty eight hurts. 349 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:05.759 After cleansing with the music still playing, I then sprints 350 00:20:05.839 --> 00:20:08.960 the perimeter of the room with moonwater to infuse our 351 00:20:09.000 --> 00:20:13.119 space with love, respect, harmony, and productivity. All I can 352 00:20:13.160 --> 00:20:17.920 say is it works. My students are all intelligent and talented, 353 00:20:18.359 --> 00:20:21.359 each in their own way. I truly believe the grid 354 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:25.039 helps them to be the best versions of themselves. They 355 00:20:25.079 --> 00:20:28.759 are kind, supportive, and absolutely lovely to each other. I 356 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:33.240 am profoundly fortunate and grateful. First of all, I have 357 00:20:33.240 --> 00:20:34.960 to tell you how much I love this. What a 358 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:38.759 lovely thing for you to do. And you probably don't 359 00:20:38.759 --> 00:20:41.000 want to get caught because you may. 360 00:20:41.200 --> 00:20:45.759 Remember our listener from last month, the teacher who got 361 00:20:45.799 --> 00:20:48.640 in trouble in the Catholic Height school because one of 362 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:51.440 the was it. The vice principal said it was demonic. 363 00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:54.359 Yeah, I know. Soon I would urge you to be careful. 364 00:20:54.400 --> 00:20:57.119 But conversely, I want to go off on that tangent Chris. 365 00:20:57.440 --> 00:21:00.599 I don't want to bring that into this. But this 366 00:21:00.759 --> 00:21:05.200 is absolutely lovely, and I will say this, your students 367 00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:10.079 are kind, supportive and lovely to each other, partly because 368 00:21:10.119 --> 00:21:13.000 you believe they are, and when they know that you 369 00:21:13.160 --> 00:21:17.200 believe that of them, they respond in kind. You are 370 00:21:17.200 --> 00:21:21.640 creating far beyond rocks, far beyond sprits and stuff, far 371 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:25.960 beyond hurts and ambient music and all that stuff. All 372 00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:28.000 that's great. I love it, I do it. I think 373 00:21:28.039 --> 00:21:32.319 it's great. But it is your intention. It is your 374 00:21:34.279 --> 00:21:39.680 willingness to see the love and loveliness of your students 375 00:21:40.240 --> 00:21:43.720 that creates that beautiful energy in your classroom. It is 376 00:21:43.759 --> 00:21:47.039 you who is creating that. And don't not give yourself 377 00:21:47.079 --> 00:21:47.680 credit for that. 378 00:21:48.920 --> 00:21:52.480 Eight men and the crystals just helped to amplify that 379 00:21:53.279 --> 00:21:56.279 intention and love that you bring to the class every day. 380 00:21:57.079 --> 00:22:00.480 Exactly. It's an absolutely wonderful thing, right, move it on. 381 00:22:01.039 --> 00:22:03.519 Our Next one says, I was listening to your show 382 00:22:03.599 --> 00:22:05.559 and heard you say that a lot of your Christian 383 00:22:05.599 --> 00:22:09.599 friends were surprised that you believe in reincarnation. I wanted 384 00:22:09.640 --> 00:22:12.880 to share story. One of my earliest memories is of 385 00:22:13.039 --> 00:22:15.839 standing near the kitchen stove as my mother was cooking. 386 00:22:16.359 --> 00:22:19.880 I was around three to four years old, and I said, Mamma, 387 00:22:20.000 --> 00:22:22.400 when I die, you don't have to cry, because I'll 388 00:22:22.440 --> 00:22:26.400 still be me. I had never heard the word reincarnation 389 00:22:26.559 --> 00:22:29.559 and had certainly never heard it on TV. I am 390 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.200 seventy four years old now, and this happened in nineteen 391 00:22:32.279 --> 00:22:36.880 fifty four. Later on, around nineteen seventy, I had one 392 00:22:37.119 --> 00:22:40.279 very vivid past life memory of living near a western 393 00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.119 town in a clapboard house where my days were filled 394 00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:46.279 with drudgery. It then segued to being in a town 395 00:22:46.400 --> 00:22:49.759 which was very dirty by today's standards and nothing like 396 00:22:49.799 --> 00:22:52.400 they were portrayed in the movies. At the time, I 397 00:22:52.480 --> 00:22:54.519 was standing on a box and speaking to a group 398 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.240 of men and women about why women should be allowed 399 00:22:57.240 --> 00:22:59.720 to vote. I was then grabbed by some men and 400 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:02.880 actually tarred and feathered and put on a horse. The 401 00:23:02.960 --> 00:23:06.079
