Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Fay.
Speaker 2: And I'm Gab Bowen and I'm so.
Speaker 1: Happy to have you back with us. Dev How are you.
Speaker 2: I'm fine, Thank you. It's wonderful to be back. Golly
Speaker 2: did I enjoy listening to Chloe Gee? It is something else.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 3: I'm so proud of her.
Speaker 2: I know you.
Speaker 1: So we are going to continue our Q and A.
Speaker 1: If you remember when we did our last Q and
Speaker 1: A show, we had so many that we thought we
Speaker 1: would continue because they're just wonderful stories and questions and
Speaker 1: it's so nice to hear from all of you. So
Speaker 1: we're gonna jump right back into those questions, and I
Speaker 1: will start us off with our first one. It says,
Speaker 1: I'm a young mother from Australia. I started listening to
Speaker 1: your podcast two years ago when I came across it
Speaker 1: during the most challenging period of my life, when I
Speaker 1: was going through treatment for breast cancer. Your podcast helped
Speaker 1: my mental healing and embracing the spiritual has given me
Speaker 1: so much peace. I cannot thank you both enough. I
Speaker 1: still listen every week to your show and in two
Speaker 1: years cancer free now. Yeah, that's awesome. I've always listened
Speaker 1: to the listener stories in AWE, and I think I
Speaker 1: might finally have a story to contribute. I had done
Speaker 1: and Meet your Guide's meditation, and even though it was
Speaker 1: my first time doing it, I felt so much wisdom
Speaker 1: and caring energy coming from them as I thanked them
Speaker 1: for looking after me and told them I would be
Speaker 1: open to more messages and guidance from them. I didn't
Speaker 1: feel or note anything else, but I finished my meditation
Speaker 1: with gratitude. The next day, I was driving in my suburb,
Speaker 1: which is almost an hour inland from the coast, and
Speaker 1: stopped at the traffic lights. It was pouring rain, and
Speaker 1: I looked up ahead of me into the sky to
Speaker 1: see a large pelican fly down from the sky and
Speaker 1: land in the man made leg to the right of me. Stunned,
Speaker 1: I blinked a few times and rubbed my eyes to
Speaker 1: check that I was seeing things correctly, as at pelican
Speaker 1: sighting this far from the ocean would be so rare
Speaker 1: we only ever get swans or ducks in the lake.
Speaker 1: As the light went green and I took off, I
Speaker 1: saw the pelican calmly swimming in the lake despite the
Speaker 1: pouring rain. The first thought that popped into my head
Speaker 1: was the story of the stork delivering babies. Later that night,
Speaker 1: my three year old and I were having dinner with
Speaker 1: my mother in law and I was telling her that
Speaker 1: my cousin was expecting. At this my son said to
Speaker 1: my mother in law, mommy is having a baby too.
Speaker 1: I am not currently pregnant, but dream of having another child.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping this is my sign to trust in the
Speaker 1: process and know that my family will grow to four
Speaker 1: people very soon. Do you think the pelican might be
Speaker 1: a sign from spirit or my animal guide? Any thoughts
Speaker 1: or suggestions on this incredible day of signs? Yes, I
Speaker 1: have one hundred percent due because of a couple of things. First,
Speaker 1: you had done the Meet your Guide's meditation and you
Speaker 1: didn't get a message like, oh, you're going to be
Speaker 1: pregnant soon, but you felt the wisdom, the carrying, the
Speaker 1: loving energy coming from them. And it sounds like you
Speaker 1: went into that meditation with such a good attitude of
Speaker 1: not needing or wanting a message. You just wanted that connection.
Speaker 1: And then they show you this really unusual sign, a
Speaker 1: pelican into the lake. I mean that is I think
Speaker 1: she's right, that's unusual to see them that far from
Speaker 1: the ocean. And then your three year old says this
Speaker 1: amazing sentence out of the mouths of babes as they say,
Speaker 1: mommy is having a baby too. That's not a coincidence.
Speaker 1: And so, dear listener in Australia, you have to email
Speaker 1: us back when you find out that you're pregnant, don't
Speaker 1: you agree, dab.
Speaker 2: I do, But I want to add something to this.
Speaker 2: One of the things that Pelicans do is that mother
Speaker 2: pelicans literally pull the flesh from their breasts and the
Speaker 2: feathers in order to nurture and feed their babies. Mother
Speaker 2: Pelicans are amazing people.
Speaker 1: I did not know that.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 2: We have an episcopal retreat center near us and part
Speaker 2: of the property is called Pelican House, and it's because
Speaker 2: of the symbolism of the giving Pelican in Christianity.
Speaker 1: You know what's so funny. I heard a comedian who
Speaker 1: was talking about moms and dads and she was saying,
Speaker 1: everyone's afraid of a mama bear. You know, don't poke
Speaker 1: the mama bear. She's gonna protect her cubs. And the
Speaker 1: comedian said, who's afraid of a papa bear? I don't
Speaker 1: know why that joke really stood out to be how
Speaker 1: moms are always sacrificing and giving literally physically, emotionally, spiritually
Speaker 1: of themselves and that pelican is such a symbol of that.
Speaker 3: Wow, yeah it is there. You go.
Speaker 2: Okay, our next one says On my daily walks, I
Speaker 2: typically say many natural heart shapes. I've attacked a picture
Speaker 2: of two agg stones with natural heart shapes. I think
Speaker 2: when I discover a heart, the universe is reminding me
Speaker 2: that only love is real, and that we are all
Speaker 2: surrounded by love. But sometimes we simply need to open
Speaker 2: our eyes expect to see it, and we will. What
Speaker 2: do you think the message is? Other things that I
Speaker 2: frequently see are faces, animals, and beings in everyday objects
Speaker 2: with variable textures, such as the patterns in the sidewalk cracks,
Speaker 2: would grain, linoleum flooring. What do you think those are? Okay,
Speaker 2: So first let me talk about the heart shaped stones
Speaker 2: and so forth that she sees. I think that's a
Speaker 2: lovely thing. I know I find heart shaped seek glass
Speaker 2: and sea shells and stones on the beach, and I
Speaker 2: know you do too, Samantha. We've both been collecting heart
Speaker 2: shaped stuff for a very long time. And I think
Speaker 2: that's a lovely way that the cosmos connects with us
Speaker 2: and reminds us that indeed, love alone prevails. As the
Speaker 2: Avatar Mayor Baba said, hagstones are a wonderful gift. One
Speaker 2: of the lores about hagstones is that we can see
Speaker 2: through to the fairy realm with them. They're also a
Speaker 2: protection stone. I have a string of nine hagstones on
Speaker 2: the door to my office, for example, So that's wonderful.
Speaker 1: I got some twine. It's up my front door, and
Speaker 1: I did the knot of nine thing on it for protects.
Speaker 1: Begun with all the hagstones I found. Walk in the beach.
Speaker 3: There you go.
Speaker 2: And then the other thing. There's a word, and I
Speaker 2: put it on my author Facebook page a while back.
Speaker 2: I can't remember the word, but there is a term
Speaker 2: for seeing faces.
Speaker 1: It's like paradelia or something. But yeah, it's a brain
Speaker 1: thing we do.
Speaker 2: It's a cool brain thing we do. And so that's
Speaker 2: not as unusual as one might think. You can see
Speaker 2: it all over the place. In fact, I put a picture.
Speaker 2: I think I'd put it on my Facebook page if
Speaker 2: I didn't, I know, I sent it to maybe Jowell.
Speaker 2: There's a tree outside my yard, just my neighbor's edge
Speaker 2: of the yard, that had some upper branches broken off
Speaker 2: in the last hurricane. And as the tree is growing back,
Speaker 2: there's this face that looks just like the face of
Speaker 2: a German shepherd right there in the tree. And I
Speaker 2: have taken pictures of that, So that's not unusual. It's
Speaker 2: just a cool thing.
Speaker 1: It's a thing that our brain does to make us
Speaker 1: connect to what we're seeing all around us.
Speaker 2: But I don't know.
Speaker 1: Sometimes when I see faces in crystals, I think there's
Speaker 1: something more to it. I shared in my June newsletter.
Speaker 1: I really wanted to get this phenisite crystal and I
Speaker 1: found one on Exquisite Crystals dot Com and I thought
Speaker 1: I saw a face in it. To me, it was
Speaker 1: so clear, and I showed it to my kids and
Speaker 1: they were like, I don't know. And then I showed
Speaker 1: the picture to Joel and he was like, oh, I
Speaker 1: see it. It's right there at the bottom. And I
Speaker 1: was like, Joel, I just love you.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I did you not? Okay, move on all right.
Speaker 1: Our dex one says, my question is about how any
Speaker 1: and all spiritual beings communicate with us. I have heard
Speaker 1: you and others say that they communicate with us inside
Speaker 1: our minds, which makes me wonder if they have to
Speaker 1: always be listening. Do we ever have private thoughts? If
Speaker 1: we do, how do these fears know when to tune
Speaker 1: in and listen to us? If we have ghost or
Speaker 1: other beings in our homes, do they have access to
Speaker 1: our thoughts too. I do not like the idea of
Speaker 1: not truly having alone time or private thoughts. How does
Speaker 1: this work? I do not believe that they can read
Speaker 1: our thoughts. They will respect that much more than we
Speaker 1: would think. What I have experienced is sometimes I'll be
Speaker 1: thinking about anything, you know, a book, I'm reading, a show,
Speaker 1: I'm watching, Oh I've got to call deb back, what
Speaker 1: have you? And randomly I'll have a memory of my
Speaker 1: mom and I'll just think about something my mom and
Speaker 1: I laughed at, for example, and then I'll think about
Speaker 1: my mom. I think that's her like kind of popping
Speaker 1: into my space, saying, hey, let's connect for a minute.
Speaker 1: So it's not that she's reading my thoughts, like, oh,
Speaker 1: she's thinking about calling dev back, I'm going to interrupt her.
Speaker 1: I think it's almost just like when you pick up
Speaker 1: the phone to call She's just tugging on that psychic link.
Speaker 1: And then I think of my mom, and then she
Speaker 1: can tune in to my energy and I can tune
Speaker 1: into her energy. But I do not believe that they're
Speaker 1: going to disrespect our boundaries that way.
Speaker 2: Our spiritual beings, our guides, our family. On the other side,
Speaker 2: I really don't care about your daily life. I mean, really,
Speaker 2: that's kind of that mundane world we live in. But
Speaker 2: I have to clean the bathroom. It's not something that
Speaker 2: they want to be involved in any way. But I
Speaker 2: think that when there is that connection inside our minds,
Speaker 2: that is the primary way that I think they often
Speaker 2: communicate with us. It's they come to us and say,
Speaker 2: give me a minute here, I need to talk to you.
Speaker 2: Are they listening and offering guidance from something that you've
Speaker 2: asked them to be a part of. And I think
Speaker 2: there's the difference.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you though, deb I was a weird little
Speaker 1: psychic kid, and I always wondered this myself, and so
Speaker 1: I would often cross my fingers and I read this
Speaker 1: like old out of print book, like twenty years ago.
Speaker 1: I wish I could find it. And they talked about
Speaker 1: how if you want to really block your energy from
Speaker 1: other people feeling your energy to cross your fingers. So
Speaker 1: if you think you have a ghost in your house
Speaker 1: and they're reading your thoughts, just.
Speaker 3: Cross your fingers.
Speaker 2: Well, there you go, easy, Paisy. Okay. Our next one says,
Speaker 2: I meditate every morning and truly love the clarity and
Speaker 2: insight it brings me. I'm not sure if this will
Speaker 2: make sense, but after one recent session, a curious thought
Speaker 2: popped in my Hey, if we've chosen to experience life
Speaker 2: on the earthly plane in order to learn and grow,
Speaker 2: could turn into meditation and tapping into the spirit realm
Speaker 2: be seen as a kind of shortcut or even cheating.
Speaker 3: An interesting question.
Speaker 2: Are we meant to face these lessons entirely on our
Speaker 2: own without spiritual guidance. I don't want to stop meditating.
Speaker 2: It's been incredibly valuable, but this thought intrigued me. In
Speaker 2: other words, are people who don't meditate earning extra credit?
Speaker 2: Hope you'll say that meditation is more like a study group,
Speaker 2: and dead will say that I'm answering my own question.
Speaker 2: I'd love to hear your perspectives. Well, I guess I'm done.
Speaker 2: You aren't. It's for your own question, And you know
Speaker 2: that's what happens a lot of times when we actually
Speaker 2: sit down and write out what we're trying to process. No,
Speaker 2: it's not cheating. I think meditation is one of the
Speaker 2: great ways in which we dive even more deeply into
Speaker 2: our learning and growth process here on this earthly plane.
Speaker 2: So I think that we're not meant to face these
Speaker 2: lessons entirely on our own. That's why we have spiritual guidance,
Speaker 2: spiritual guides, connections with our ancestors. I think that every
Speaker 2: little bit helps.
Speaker 1: It reminds me of that often told story of the
Speaker 1: man who's standing on top of his house as the
Speaker 1: flood is rising and all these people come to help him,
Speaker 1: and he says, no, God told me, he protect me.
Speaker 1: And eventually the flood takes him and he gets to
Speaker 1: heaven and he's all mad, and God's like, I send
Speaker 1: you a boat, I send you a plane, I send
Speaker 1: you you know, And God's saying, I gave you all
Speaker 1: these extra tools to help you. And I think that's
Speaker 1: what meditation is. It's an extra tool given to help us.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: Okay, let's take a quick break and we'll be right back.
Speaker 3: Hi, guys.
Speaker 1: Quick reminder that Denise and I are teaching our Mediumship
Speaker 1: classes this summer. Our Intro to Mediumship class will be
Speaker 1: taught over two Saturdays, June twenty eighth and July twelfth,
Speaker 1: from one to four. The Advanced Mediumship class will be
Speaker 1: taught July twenty sixth and August ninth. You'll learn how
Speaker 1: to create and hold a link to Spirit. We'll cover
Speaker 1: overcoming self doubt and other blocks. Plus we do a
Speaker 1: deep dive into understanding your players and learning to cultivate
Speaker 1: your own unique way of connecting with spirit. There are
Speaker 1: partner exercises taught both in and outside of class time,
Speaker 1: so you can really practice and learn to hone your readings. Also,
Speaker 1: if you sign up for my newsletter, you'll see a
Speaker 1: coupon code to receive twenty percent off any bracelet. For
Speaker 1: more information, go to Samantha Fay dot com Welcome back.
Speaker 1: Our next question says I'm in my early thirties now,
Speaker 1: but I've been having pre cognitive dreams since my mid teens.
Speaker 1: The first two occurred just a week apart and really
Speaker 1: shocked me. One involved my mother choking on a fishbone
Speaker 1: in a restaurant, which was particularly strange as she's a vegetarian.
Speaker 1: And never normally eats fish. Thankfully, she was okay. The
Speaker 1: second dream was about stumbling upon a traveling show while
Speaker 1: on holiday and witnessing animal cruelty during one of the acts.
Speaker 1: I remember crying, not just because of the event itself,
Speaker 1: but because I had seen it unfold in a dream
Speaker 1: days earlier and couldn't make sense of it. Since then,
Speaker 1: most of my precognitive dreams have involved mundane events. I
Speaker 1: often find myself thinking, why can't I dream about something useful,
Speaker 1: And even when the dreams do come true, they've never
Speaker 1: really served a practical purpose. I'm not able to prevent
Speaker 1: or prepare for what's coming. They simply happen. However, in
Speaker 1: the last six months, I've had five separate dreams predicting
Speaker 1: pregnancies of people close to me. In each case, I
Speaker 1: had no prior knowledge they were trying, except one friend
Speaker 1: who'd been trying for two years without success. A week
Speaker 1: after I dreamt she was pregnant, she told me she
Speaker 1: I had just gotten a positive test. We live in
Speaker 1: different countries and hadn't spoken about her trying to conceive
Speaker 1: in over a year. I also dreamt that my neighbor's
Speaker 1: cat gave birth to a single black kitten. I thought
Speaker 1: it was strange, since cats usually have litters and single
Speaker 1: births are quite rare. The very next day she gave
Speaker 1: birth to just one black kitten. As validating as these
Speaker 1: dreams are, it can be frustrating because I don't know
Speaker 1: what to do with this information. Pregnancy is such a
Speaker 1: personal thing, and I never want to be invasive by
Speaker 1: telling someone before they're ready to share. So I suppose
Speaker 1: my question is what's the purpose of this ability and
Speaker 1: is there any way I can develop it further or
Speaker 1: use it in a more meaningful way. I've always felt
Speaker 1: spiritually connected and guided, but I've only started meditating and
Speaker 1: trying to talk to my guides.
Speaker 3: In the last year.
Speaker 1: This has felt powerful, but I'm not nearly as consistent
Speaker 1: with it as I'd like to be, Okay, So I
Speaker 1: talk about this a lot in my book The Awake Dreamer.
Speaker 1: There's actually almost like a guilt that comes along with
Speaker 1: these precognitive dreams, especially when they are predicting negative events
Speaker 1: like the one you witnessed on your holiday with the
Speaker 1: animal cruelty. There can be a residue of guilt, like
Speaker 1: I should have done something I should have prevented this,
Speaker 1: But all the studies that have been done, including the
Speaker 1: one the psychiatrist in England did that he called the
Speaker 1: Premonition Bureau, have shown that there's really not a lot
Speaker 1: you can do with precognitive dreams. I mean, for example,
Speaker 1: so many people dreamt about nine to eleven before it happened,
Speaker 1: But what were they going to do? Call Laguadia and say, Hey,
Speaker 1: I think this terrible thing is going to happen sometime
Speaker 1: in September, but I don't know who when where you know. No,
Speaker 1: there's really not a lot you can do. What I
Speaker 1: think precognitive dreams are they are evidence of many things.
Speaker 1: One that you are highly intuitive and this is growing
Speaker 1: and developing in you. Two they give evidence to the
Speaker 1: fact that there is a collective unconscious, that we are
Speaker 1: all connected. That it does not matter if your friend
Speaker 1: is in this country or another country. You are linked
Speaker 1: by love and so you are going to pick up
Speaker 1: on her pregnancy that way because you're intuitive and because
Speaker 1: we are all connected. And I think they also give
Speaker 1: credence to what we're always talking about on this show,
Speaker 1: how time is just simply made up, that we do
Speaker 1: not live in actual, past, present, future time. It's all
Speaker 1: happening now, and I think these precognitive dreams give a
Speaker 1: lot of credibility to that belief. So what can you
Speaker 1: do about these things? Well, I would use them and
Speaker 1: I would fall asleep very consciously. For example, I would
Speaker 1: write down questions that I have that I would like
Speaker 1: answers to in my dreams. I would say prayers for
Speaker 1: people that you're thinking about or praying for, or worried about,
Speaker 1: and ask to be given guidance in your dreams. If
Speaker 1: you have this ability, which is so strong and amazing,
Speaker 1: then you can cultivate it by going to sleep with purpose.
Speaker 1: Really start to work with crystals that can help you
Speaker 1: remember your dreams and write down journal or meditate before
Speaker 1: you go to sleep, and that's going to help program
Speaker 1: your dreams. I have an exercise in the Awake Dreamer
Speaker 1: about creating your dream team where you ask people that
Speaker 1: you highly respect who have gone on to the other
Speaker 1: side to consult with you in the dream state. I
Speaker 1: would start looking into that. I also would recommend you
Speaker 1: look at Stephen Leberg's book on lucid dreaming and cultivate some.
Speaker 3: Of those practices.
Speaker 1: And I really think you should take an intuitive development class.
Speaker 2: Don't you think so I do. I don't have anything
Speaker 2: to add to that. It was great information, Okay, let
Speaker 2: me move on there. I've always known that I'm intuitive,
Speaker 2: but I've never taken a class. I didn't even realize
Speaker 2: there was an option until I found your podcast. I
Speaker 2: come from a long line of intuitive women. It's just
Speaker 2: that I'm in a part of the US where people
Speaker 2: see this kind of thing as sinful, inappropriate, and a
Speaker 2: sign of mental health issues. However, I believe having a
Speaker 2: sixth sense is something each person has within themselves. I'm
Speaker 2: tired of suppressing mine, and I'm at this point in
Speaker 2: my life where I want to explore it more. What
Speaker 2: do I need to do? What's your suggestion? Were family members', friends,
Speaker 2: and your local community always accepting of you? I'm laughing
Speaker 2: because the answer is no. Did anyone turn their back
Speaker 2: on you when you started your careers in this field?
Speaker 2: I live in the Bible Belt, and I just know
Speaker 2: people won't be understanding if I'm able to develop this
Speaker 2: further within myself. How do I share it with my
Speaker 2: family and friends without scrutiny. I just can't move away.
Speaker 2: Oh oh dear, how we know how we have felt
Speaker 2: over the years in answering these questions for ourselves, and
Speaker 2: I certainly understand where you are. No, it's not always
Speaker 2: easy to be in a place where what you believe
Speaker 2: and how you practice your faith and your connection to
Speaker 2: spirit is not acceptable.
Speaker 3: We certainly understand.
Speaker 2: That what I can say to you from my perspective
Speaker 2: is that at some point, for me, I had to
Speaker 2: whether I ever said it out loud to relatives or
Speaker 2: people who thought that I was definitely quote going to hell,
Speaker 2: was that I had to do what I had to
Speaker 2: do for me, not for anybody else. But I had
Speaker 2: to realize that I had to believe what I had
Speaker 2: to believe. So that means and sometimes just not talking
Speaker 2: about the elephant in the room with family members. I
Speaker 2: certainly are friends who are not thinking this is such
Speaker 2: a good idea.
Speaker 3: I know that that's hard.
Speaker 2: But I know, for example, the book that we're going
Speaker 2: to be talking about soon that I have just written
Speaker 2: with my wonderful friend Claire Gelder's called Crafting the Wheel
Speaker 2: of the Year, and there are words on the cover
Speaker 2: that I know. I know people who don't have a
Speaker 2: clue what they mean, and who think that I have
Speaker 2: gone in a whole different universe and yet I had
Speaker 2: to do it. I had to do this, and it
Speaker 2: will be what it is, and the acceptance will be
Speaker 2: there or it won't be. But in the end, we
Speaker 2: have to live with ourselves. And I agree with you
Speaker 2: that that sixth sense is something that we all have.
Speaker 2: Samantha and I've talked about this for fifteen years. We
Speaker 2: truly believe that all of us have intuitive abilities, and
Speaker 2: nurturing them in a way that feels safe and comfortable
Speaker 2: for us is really a wonderful gift.
Speaker 3: I think I want to add to that, Samantha.
Speaker 1: I think it's harder to not stay true to yourself.
Speaker 1: You have this one beautiful, precious life as yourself in
Speaker 1: this unique incarnation, and you owe it to yourself and
Speaker 1: your light to express who you truly are in all
Speaker 1: of its forms. One thing that helped me so much
Speaker 1: was that famous Inane En quote where she says the
Speaker 1: day came when the risk to remain tight in a
Speaker 1: bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.
Speaker 1: And so I think that's how I eventually felt something
Speaker 1: else I've noticed. I really was cognizant of this when
Speaker 1: I was talking to my daughter Chloe on last week's show,
Speaker 1: when I was worried about what people would think, I
Speaker 1: encountered people who judged me. When I no longer cared
Speaker 1: what people thought about what I'd do for a living,
Speaker 1: I no longer encounter those people, and I find that
Speaker 1: kind of magical.
Speaker 2: Well, it is magical, and I will venture to say,
Speaker 2: because I have been where she is, and in some
Speaker 2: ways I still am that little voice and us that says, yeah,
Speaker 2: but that's you, that's not me. In my newsletter last month,
Speaker 2: I wrote about a sailboat I used to own, called
Speaker 2: yeah but because at some point you have to sail
Speaker 2: your own boat in your own way. And I think
Speaker 2: that's true with this question. I wish you luck, and
Speaker 2: I also wish that you would take an intuitive class
Speaker 2: and that you would find kindred spirits with whom you
Speaker 2: can share this work. And when you do that, that
Speaker 2: shifts thinks too, when you feel like you got at
Speaker 2: least one or two people who are your support system.
Speaker 2: I was fair blessed to have Granny, Jean and Joel
Speaker 2: for all these years, even when things were sketchy with
Speaker 2: family and all sorts of other folks, I still had
Speaker 2: a support system. And then for fifteen years I had Samantha.
Speaker 2: I think that has impacted us both, probably more than
Speaker 2: we have ever consciously thought about.
Speaker 1: Yeah, very very true. My support system was books. I know,
Speaker 1: I didn't have anyone until they met you guys, you
Speaker 1: and Joel and the Secrets Group, when I had to
Speaker 1: cultivate and go out and find all of that. But
Speaker 1: keep in mind, I mean, Dev and I had normal
Speaker 1: careers when we started, and we kept this on the
Speaker 1: download for sure. My website was called the Crystal Chick,
Speaker 1: so that if you search my name, only where I
Speaker 1: taught would come up.
Speaker 3: Not this work right exactly?
Speaker 1: Oh, I know, so I understand, But you owe it
Speaker 1: to yourself. You really do to at least take it
Speaker 1: into a development class and know that you will find
Speaker 1: your community. You are worth it.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 1: Next one says, some time ago, you did an episode
Speaker 1: on cord cutting that really resonated with me. After listening,
Speaker 1: I felt called to go through this process with my father.
Speaker 1: He's in his eighties and has early stage Parkinson's, though
Speaker 1: he remains quite capable both mentally and physically. He lives
Speaker 1: with me and I still care for many of his needs.
Speaker 1: Our relationship has always been complicated. He tends to be manipulative,
Speaker 1: mostly through guilt. I work from home, but if I
Speaker 1: have to leave for an off site meeting, he lays
Speaker 1: the guilt on thick when I return. This has been
Speaker 1: a long standing pattern, and while I recognize it now
Speaker 1: for what it is, it's still difficult not to be affected.
Speaker 1: After that episode, I knew I needed to try cord
Speaker 1: cutting with him. Shortly after doing the practice, I noticed
Speaker 1: a distinct shift. He seemed weaker, both mentally and physically.
Speaker 1: Of course, guilt crept in again, and I allowed him
Speaker 1: back into my energetic space. It felt as though he
Speaker 1: quickly regained his strength, both mentally and physically. I remember
Speaker 1: you mentioning that cord cutting might need to be repeated,
Speaker 1: especially when you're living with the person. Eventually, the dynamic
Speaker 1: reached a point where I felt I had to re
Speaker 1: establish boundaries and go through the process again, and once
Speaker 1: more I observed the same effect. He appeared weaker soon after.
Speaker 1: Do you think it's possible that I'm somehow allowing him
Speaker 1: to draw on my energy, maybe even for physical sustenance,
Speaker 1: and the cord cutting is doing just that, cutting him
Speaker 1: off from my energy supply. Is there something I can
Speaker 1: do to cut the cord with him for my own
Speaker 1: well being while not weakening him. Well, isn't that such
Speaker 1: a fascinating example of how minipbuild of people do actually
Speaker 1: feed off our energy?
Speaker 2: Indeed, it is. I have a lot to say about
Speaker 2: this one, but you go.
Speaker 3: Ahead, Okay.
Speaker 1: I'll just say I think that you have You're doing
Speaker 1: so much right now. I mean, taking care of a
Speaker 1: parent in your home is a whole thing all onto itself.
Speaker 1: But add to that the manipulation, the guilt, the lack
Speaker 1: of energy. Our hearts and thoughts and prayers are definitely
Speaker 1: with you, but you you were not his supply. You
Speaker 1: were not in charge of his energy. He's a grown man.
Speaker 1: He's in charge of his energy. And so I would
Speaker 1: say that you need to continue doing the cord cutting
Speaker 1: on a weekly basis. Now, something you could do is
Speaker 1: visualize a pink chord of love connecting you to that
Speaker 1: is just exchanging nothing but love and positivity, and then
Speaker 1: visualize a negative chord I'm almost seeing gunky oil like thick,
Speaker 1: you know, and cut that on a weekly basis. All right,
Speaker 1: go ahead, deb What do you want to say?
Speaker 2: Just a couple of things about that. Those are great suggestions,
Speaker 2: and I would like to back you up on both
Speaker 2: of those. But also we don't have to absorb the
Speaker 2: negativity from somebody else that energy vampire kind of energy. Yes,
Speaker 2: Samantha says, he has to find his own energy source
Speaker 2: and you have to find yours so that you're not
Speaker 2: on the same pulling off the same energy. Feel if
Speaker 2: you've ever got an email from me. At the bottom
Speaker 2: of my email is a quote from Jewel and it says,
Speaker 2: no longer lend your strength to that which you wish
Speaker 2: to be free from. Fill lives with love and bravery,
Speaker 2: and you shall live a life uncommon. And it's about
Speaker 2: filling yourself so that there's not room for those negative
Speaker 2: chords to attach to you, while at the same time
Speaker 2: you wish him well and not negative feelings about him,
Speaker 2: so that you really do create those very clear, loving boundaries.
Speaker 2: Well said. Our next one says, I really enjoy your
Speaker 2: podcast and listen to the one April thirteenth with listener questions.
Speaker 2: Even though I have been working with meditation and other
Speaker 2: ways of learning for many years, something you said really
Speaker 2: touched me in a powerful way. A listen was asking
Speaker 2: about getting signs and their experience of going through a
Speaker 2: possible divorce. Samantha mentioned that when we're trying to manifest something,
Speaker 2: we have to take into account the other person's free will.
Speaker 2: It was a real aha moment when you mentioned how
Speaker 2: people have free will, and though we try to manifest
Speaker 2: our own desires, we cannot change that. This is not
Speaker 2: so easy to do. I get that we have respect
Speaker 2: for free will, but in the context of manifesting for
Speaker 2: our own lives, I just wonder how we can find
Speaker 2: a peaceful way with the two truths. If there is
Speaker 2: a situation where you want to manifest something so badly,
Speaker 2: but it depends on the action of another person, how
Speaker 2: do you manat Should I just pray and visualize myself
Speaker 2: happy and not worry about the particular wish I want.
Speaker 3: This is a great question.
Speaker 2: So when you want to manifest something for yourself, then
Speaker 2: that's what you're manifesting. Now how the universe gets it
Speaker 2: to you is not your concern, I think, if.
Speaker 1: I remember correctly, I didn't include the rest of her
Speaker 1: email question because it was personal, but I think it
Speaker 1: was about manifesting something for one of her adult children.
Speaker 3: Oh, that's a very different thing.
Speaker 1: You can't do that, right and So I think if
Speaker 1: you're trying to manifest something you see an adult child
Speaker 1: going through a really difficult time or making choices that
Speaker 1: you don't agree with, that's really hard. And so when
Speaker 1: you're going to approach that from a manifesting point of view,
Speaker 1: I think you have to again keep the focus back
Speaker 1: on yourself and how you can best be a support
Speaker 1: for that adult child. And then I think you just
Speaker 1: need to add prayer to it and just really pray
Speaker 1: and intend and visualize angels of love and connection and
Speaker 1: great choices and joyful and safety and harmony surrounding your child.
Speaker 1: I think that's when we have to move from manifesting
Speaker 1: to prayer and intention, don't you think I do?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I mean, of course we always want to get in
Speaker 1: there un tilt our kids live their best life, but
Speaker 1: at some point we have to let go, and that's
Speaker 1: really hard.
Speaker 2: So yeah, just no, you just.
Speaker 1: Cannot manifest for other people, unfortunately, but you can pray
Speaker 1: and intend and help them that way. All right, let's
Speaker 1: take our last break and we'll be right back to
Speaker 1: wrap up our questions.
Speaker 2: Hi, folks, if you've been waiting for my Beginner to
Speaker 2: Row course Unlocking the Mysteries of Torow. Now is the
Speaker 2: time to register. This three session course runs Tuesdays July fifteenth,
Speaker 2: twenty second, and twenty ninth on Zoom and details are

Speaker 2: world beliefs and mythologies, and this course lays the groundwork
Speaker 2: for your work with your intuition in future courses. There's
Speaker 2: so much more information on my website, Debbowen dot com.
Speaker 3: I look forward to working with you.
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
Speaker 1: I've been listening to your podcast since twenty twenty and
Speaker 1: have learned so much from both of you. I especially
Speaker 1: love knowing that I have had similar experiences with your listeners.
Speaker 1: We can't always share our experiences with others because, as
Speaker 1: you say, they will think we are woo woo. So
Speaker 1: it's nice to be validated without judgment. I would like
Speaker 1: to share an experience I had many years ago. My
Speaker 1: son was only two years old and I had to
Speaker 1: live in nanny not because I'm wealthy, but because I'd
Speaker 1: worked the night shift from four to midnight and I
Speaker 1: was a single mother. I came home at midnight after
Speaker 1: work one night during an extremely hot heat wave. I
Speaker 1: had a security screen door on the front door that
Speaker 1: was closed and locked, but the door was left open
Speaker 1: to get a breeze into the house. I checked on
Speaker 1: my son, who was sleeping peacefully in his crib. I
Speaker 1: went into the kitchen to have a bowl of Captain Crunch.
Speaker 1: Funny that I remember that, and I was only dressed
Speaker 1: in my underwear and a T shirt because, as I said,
Speaker 1: it was hot. My home was on a slight hill
Speaker 1: and was pretty isolated from the street view. As I
Speaker 1: was pouring the cereal, I heard an inner voice tell
Speaker 1: me to close.
Speaker 2: The front door.
Speaker 1: I had goosebumps and knew something was not right. I
Speaker 1: quickly walked into the living room and closed the front door,
Speaker 1: and as I turned around it head back to the kitchen,
Speaker 1: I could see a man stooping down watching me. Through
Speaker 1: the kitchen window. My heart was pounding, and I picked
Speaker 1: up the phone and called nine one one. The police
Speaker 1: told me to stay on the line and that they
Speaker 1: were surrounding the house. They asked me if I could
Speaker 1: see their flashlights outside to comfort me because I was
Speaker 1: screaming for the nanny to wake up, but she wasn't
Speaker 1: responding to me. When the police arrived, they discovered that
Speaker 1: this man had taken the screen off the nanny's window
Speaker 1: and was climbing through the window. When I came home,
Speaker 1: his footprints were in the flower bed below the window.
Speaker 1: She was not responding to me because she was passed out,
Speaker 1: naked and drunk. I have no doubt that he was
Speaker 1: going to essay her and I might have been next.
Speaker 1: The police questioned her about smelling like alcohol, and the
Speaker 1: next morning she told me she was an alcoholic and
Speaker 1: was trying to stop drinking. She had only been with
Speaker 1: us a month or so, but of course I had
Speaker 1: to let her go. I have heard this voice on
Speaker 1: many occasions since then, and I know that it is
Speaker 1: my spirit I'd protecting me. Thank you for letting me share. Wow,
Speaker 1: deb that gives me goosebumps everywhere, because is that not
Speaker 1: every woman's fear.
Speaker 2: Absolutely, Oh my gosh.
Speaker 1: And to think that if she hadn't listened to that voice,
Speaker 1: Oh wow. That is the power of being connected to
Speaker 1: your intuition right there, and being connected to your spirit
Speaker 1: guides and their assistance and listening, listening and responding on
Speaker 1: that guidance.
Speaker 3: We at.
Speaker 1: I am so happy that you did, and thank you
Speaker 1: for sharing this, because but could save someone else out
Speaker 1: there listening who might hear a voice or get an
Speaker 1: intuitive nudge and go eh, I don't know. So this
Speaker 1: is such an important reminder.
Speaker 3: It sure is. Thank you for sharing that with us. Okay.
Speaker 2: Our next one says I used to listen to political
Speaker 2: podcasts all day long and feel rage churning in my
Speaker 2: stomach until I came across your podcast. I thought I
Speaker 2: needed that cortos all hit to power me through my
Speaker 2: workday and the stresses of daily life. Your calming voices,
Speaker 2: breadth of knowledge, and insights have really changed my life.
Speaker 2: I have always been spiritual and felt a deep connection
Speaker 2: to the magic of the unseen world and felt a
Speaker 2: godlike presence with me, But after listening to your podcasts,
Speaker 2: the synchronicities are just sublime. My mom passed when I
Speaker 2: was in my twenties.
Speaker 3: I miss her.
Speaker 2: Every day, and kind of out of the blue, my neighbor,
Speaker 2: who has also told me she is psychic, asked if
Speaker 2: my mom passed a breast cancer and I said yes.
Speaker 2: She said she felt it in her chest when we talked.
Speaker 2: She said, your mom hears you when you talked of her,
Speaker 2: and she listens, and she has a baby with her,
Speaker 2: don't you know. Just the day before I was crying
Speaker 2: in my car talking to my mom about how much
Speaker 2: I missed her and how I wanted to know her better,
Speaker 2: And my neighbor had no idea of this. My sister
Speaker 2: miscarried years ago before she had my beautiful niece, and
Speaker 2: now I know that baby is with my mom. We
Speaker 2: are always so honored when we get an email like this.
Speaker 2: We are filled with gratitude to know that somehow or another,
Speaker 2: the work that we do with this podcast and the
Speaker 2: books we write and the courses we teach are helpful
Speaker 2: to folks, And thank you so much for that. But
Speaker 2: more than that, how wonderful that you know and trust
Speaker 2: that psychicability within yourself, your neighbor, and knowing that there
Speaker 2: is certainly a higher power and a higher consciousness that
Speaker 2: loves us and guides us and connects us across the veil.
Speaker 2: We often say that the veil is very thin, and
Speaker 2: you have certainly suggested that that is true in your life.
Speaker 2: And we're so happy that you had that gift with
Speaker 2: your mom.
Speaker 1: Oh that is absolutely beautiful, and it echoes back to
Speaker 1: our earlier question about Kennon loved ones on the other
Speaker 1: side listen to our thoughts. No, but when you talk
Speaker 1: to them inside your head, they do here. And that's
Speaker 1: such great validation right there in that story that they
Speaker 1: do talk to us that way. Absolutely, Oh so beautiful. Okay,
Speaker 1: Era next one says, my question is regarding something that
Speaker 1: happened with my father in law, who has been dealing
Speaker 1: with many medical issues for much of his life. As
Speaker 1: he is a marine veteran and was exposed to Agent
Speaker 1: Orange and Vietnam. His health has been declining in recent
Speaker 1: years and his energy has been very low. In December
Speaker 1: this past year, my husband and I had our families
Speaker 1: over to celebrate our twin boys' first birthday. I noticed
Speaker 1: that my father in law seemed different, like his eyes
Speaker 1: were twinkling and his energy seemed more upbeat. I even
Speaker 1: commented to him about how good he looked, and he said,
Speaker 1: you must be feeling a lot better. He brushed it off,
Speaker 1: as he does with most comments about his health, but smiled.
Speaker 1: A couple of weeks later, my husband had an appointment
Speaker 1: with the local medium that we've been seeing for years,
Speaker 1: and love sir about his dad, and she told him
Speaker 1: that she feels he had a stroke or something and
Speaker 1: his soul passed on and that this was actually a
Speaker 1: walk in. I got chills all over when he said this,
Speaker 1: and both of us felt it's plausible, but it's so
Speaker 1: hard to wrap our minds around this concept. What is
Speaker 1: your experience with walk in souls? And have you seen
Speaker 1: this before in any of your readings. I've heard of this,
Speaker 1: but I've never seen it or experienced it.
Speaker 3: Have you, No?
Speaker 1: I feel you have more opinions about this question, deb.
Speaker 3: I think we're back at ethics. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I cannot imagine doing a rating for someone and saying
Speaker 2: these words to them. I cannot imagine that this would
Speaker 2: be something I would accept its true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I agree. I think that when you're in chronic pain,
Speaker 1: it does change you, and sure it could look like
Speaker 1: a different personality, but I think it's just living with
Speaker 1: chronic health issues. I think it's still your father in law,
Speaker 1: but you know that's just our opinion.
Speaker 2: I think we have time for one more, Okay. I
Speaker 2: am a hairstylist, medium and impath. I am a friend
Speaker 2: to many. I have the luck of knowing many different
Speaker 2: people from all different walks of life. When a person
Speaker 2: does air for over twenty years, you get to know
Speaker 2: people on a very personal level. Lately, it has been
Speaker 2: difficult with the chaos of the world. My friends' clients
Speaker 2: have been confiding in me. I have decided most of
Speaker 2: all to just listen and keep my opinions to myself.
Speaker 2: How do I hold a candle for peace? Which means
Speaker 2: holding a candle for all of us in the collective here,
Speaker 2: I've been a sponge. I have felt hopeless. I have
Speaker 2: a dream for us humans that the concept of the
Speaker 2: power within instead of power over, becomes our more natural
Speaker 2: way of thinking. With all the this being said in
Speaker 2: my Feelings of Sadness, I've scrolled through some of your
Speaker 2: older episodes and found on August twenty first, twenty seventeen,
Speaker 2: episode entitled Path of the Peaceful Psychic, both of you
Speaker 2: talked about a woman who called herself Peace Pilgrim, who
Speaker 2: walked thousands of miles for peace. I went to the
Speaker 2: website to order the book about her, which is free.
Speaker 2: After I read it, I plan to pass it along.
Speaker 2: After I read it, I plan to pass it along
Speaker 2: and hope that the next person passes it along to
Speaker 2: the next person. Thank you so much for both of
Speaker 2: your humble, beautiful words. Listening to this was my candle
Speaker 2: of hope being lit just as I was feeling very dim. Anyway,
Speaker 2: I think at times we all have an opportunity to
Speaker 2: hold a candle for each other when the other is struggling.
Speaker 2: I have heard from my guides and sources since I
Speaker 2: can remember. If it's not done in love, it's not divine.
Speaker 2: That is my due North calibration needle. When I question humanity.
Speaker 2: The journey continues. Oh, Samantha, I'm just gonna cry. I
Speaker 2: love this email. Thank you very much for this. First
Speaker 2: of all, let me just say this real quickly. You
Speaker 2: can order boxes of books, not just one, from the
Speaker 2: Peace Pilgrim website, or at least you used to be
Speaker 2: able to do that, and they will send you a
Speaker 2: box and you can pass them out like M and
Speaker 2: M's the Peace Pilgrim work continues, and it is. She
Speaker 2: was a wonderful, amazing woman. Her legacy continues with folks
Speaker 2: who are carrying on her work for peace. Thank you
Speaker 2: so much for going and checking that out, and everybody
Speaker 2: else know you can go to the Peace Pilgrim website
Speaker 2: and get those books that she wrote about her experience
Speaker 2: and helping us look at peace in a different way.
Speaker 2: You know, as Granny Jean got older and more frail,
Speaker 2: I knew she was in a lot of physical pain.
Speaker 2: We both knew the end was coming. And whatever was
Speaker 2: going on in the world, whatever was happening in her
Speaker 2: personal life, she would laugh.
Speaker 3: She would just laugh.
Speaker 2: And I asked her one day how she managed to
Speaker 2: do that. So, Jeane, given what's happening in the world
Speaker 2: and in your life, how can you continue to just
Speaker 2: laugh like this? And her words to me will always be.
Speaker 3: Words I will forever remember.
Speaker 2: She said someone has to hold the light, and she did.
Speaker 2: And that's a reminder to me and to this lovely
Speaker 2: listener who knows it already, and to all of you
Speaker 2: listening that really, I mean, we never end this podcast
Speaker 2: without those words be the light, and we mean that
Speaker 2: in so many different ways, and yes, it's hard not
Speaker 2: to absorb the negativity and the craziness of the world
Speaker 2: around us. It's really hard. We really need to create
Speaker 2: those shields, those barriers, those protection tools. Put that rock
Speaker 2: around your neck or in your pocket, and know that
Speaker 2: that's important for you, because in order to continue to
Speaker 2: hold the light, we have to protect ourselves and send
Speaker 2: out what needs to be positive energy. So thank you,
Speaker 2: thank you, thank you to this wonderful woman who is
Speaker 2: doing this great work of holding the light for her
Speaker 2: friends and her client. You know, I was talking to
Speaker 2: my hairdresser about this idea not long ago, and we
Speaker 2: were talking about how she feels that her work in
Speaker 2: touching someone and touching their head, touching their hair is
Speaker 2: such an intimate gift to her and that she has
Speaker 2: a responsibility when she's doing this work, just as this
Speaker 2: listener has said, to give that positive energy back to
Speaker 2: the person whose hair is in her hands. So all
Speaker 2: of us can learn a lot from the screen email.
Speaker 3: Thank you so.
Speaker 1: Much, beautifully said, I totally agree. Thank you Deb for
Speaker 1: sharing Jean's words with us, and I love the mantra
Speaker 1: from our listener. If it's not done in love, it's
Speaker 1: not divine.
Speaker 3: Isn't that wonderful? Thank you?
Speaker 2: It really is.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just have to share this last story because
Speaker 1: it's just beautiful, and then we'll wrap up. So this
Speaker 1: listener writes, I have an overwhelming need to share one
Speaker 1: of my stories with you. Thank you for teaching me
Speaker 1: it's okay to ask for signs. I asked, and wow,
Speaker 1: my mom must be a superstar in the afterlife. I
Speaker 1: asked her to show me anything to do with Winnie
Speaker 1: the Pooh or Ticker. The sign came a week later
Speaker 1: when my son and I were working together cleaning office buildings. FYI,
Speaker 1: I did not share my ask with anyone other than spirit.
Speaker 1: This is important to all skeptics. My son tapped me
Speaker 1: on the shoulder and handed me two stickers he found
Speaker 1: on the floor and thought I would like them. One
Speaker 1: was Winnie the Pooh and yes, the other was Ticker.
Speaker 1: So not only did Mom give me exactly what I asked,
Speaker 1: she was able to go through her grandson, who was
Speaker 1: also very open and a believer. Isn't that beautiful?
Speaker 2: I love that?
Speaker 1: Wow you too, I med ask if you shall receive?
Speaker 3: Isn't that that's true?
Speaker 1: Thank you everyone for taking time to send in these beautiful,
Speaker 1: inspiring and thought provoking stories and questions. We so appreciate
Speaker 1: you and we hope you have a beautiful week holding
Speaker 1: the light in your corner of the world. Remember as always,
Speaker 1: to be the light for yourself and others.
Speaker 2: Take care everyone.
