Speaker 1: Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host, Deb Bowen.
Speaker 2: I'm Samantha Fay.
Speaker 1: We're so excited that you are joining us this week
Speaker 1: for our monthly Q and A episode. We've got a
Speaker 1: lot of really interesting questions. We'll see how far we
Speaker 1: get with them, Samantha, you want to.
Speaker 2: I know we have so many this month. We might
Speaker 2: have to do a part two. We'll see because there's
Speaker 2: some good ones.
Speaker 1: Oh no, all right, get us gone, all right?
Speaker 2: Our first one, says Hi Devin. Samantha, I've been listening
Speaker 2: to your podcast for a while and it's been a
Speaker 2: warm and comforting companion while out walking. I absolutely love
Speaker 2: listening to you both, and you make me feel like
Speaker 2: I'm part of your family. Oh, thank you. Isn't that
Speaker 2: the best?
Speaker 1: I love it? Thank you so much.
Speaker 2: Anyway, she says, something strange happened yesterday and I had
Speaker 2: to tell you. I was listening to your November Q
Speaker 2: and A show where you spoke about telepathy. I think
Speaker 2: it's fascinating, but haven't really looked into it. Later that day,
Speaker 2: while I was working, I was overcome with emotion as
Speaker 2: my mom popped into my heart. She left us in
Speaker 2: August twenty twenty three, and though the grief has eased
Speaker 2: a little, I still miss her every day. I moved
Speaker 2: from my desk to the couch and hugged a pillow
Speaker 2: made from her clothing. As I sobbed, I suddenly stood
Speaker 2: up and wiped the tears from my face and thought,
Speaker 2: how I longed to talk to my son, but knew
Speaker 2: he was at work and I didn't want to disturb him.
Speaker 2: My phone rang within ten seconds of having that thought,
Speaker 2: and I could tell by the ring tone it was
Speaker 2: my son. I was so shocked and told him how
Speaker 2: I'd just been wishing to talk to him, and he
Speaker 2: told me that he had just had the thought that
Speaker 2: we hadn't spoken in a few days. Surely that can't
Speaker 2: be a coincidence. After listening to you talk about telepathy,
Speaker 2: I think my mom knew that talking to my son
Speaker 2: would help me get on with my day and gave
Speaker 2: him a gentle nudge to call me. Isn't that amazing?
Speaker 2: Yes it is, and that's how telepathy works. And this
Speaker 2: is a really good example of what I like to
Speaker 2: call positive cording. You know, Deb and I have talked
Speaker 2: a lot about chords and how you have negative chords
Speaker 2: to people, but you also have positive, loving chords to people.
Speaker 2: And so I feel as though when she was thinking, gosh,
Speaker 2: I'd love to talk to my son right now, but
Speaker 2: he's at work, I think that thought pulled on that
Speaker 2: loving chord she has with her child, and he felt
Speaker 2: it and called his mom. It's just injectable.
Speaker 1: It is beautiful. And you know, I think of this
Speaker 1: sometimes because that certainly we've seen it happen with other people,
Speaker 1: that happens with you and I with people what we
Speaker 1: want to talk to or who want to talk to us.
Speaker 1: It's almost like this some kind of universal telephone line
Speaker 1: that connects folks in interesting ways. You know, Mom on
Speaker 1: the other side connecting to son, who connects to Mom.
Speaker 1: I mean, the circle goes on and on and on,
Speaker 1: and I just love how that works.
Speaker 2: I do too, And thank you for taking us on
Speaker 2: your walks, and thank you for taking time to share
Speaker 2: that story.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, thanks so much. Okay, Samantha. Our next one says,
Speaker 1: I just listened to your cosmic whispers. When the universe
Speaker 1: says no episode, it was definitely a sign that it
Speaker 1: was the right time for me to listen to it.
Speaker 1: The universe does speak and work with us in subtle
Speaker 1: yet loud ways. I recently experienced a miscarriage early on
Speaker 1: during my second pregnancy before Mother's Day. What brought me
Speaker 1: hope and grace was what Samantha mentioned a few times
Speaker 1: during the past episodes about how souls choose the time
Speaker 1: they enter our lives and know when the time is right.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you for that. This is a
Speaker 1: reminder that my body is a host and that I
Speaker 1: don't have any control over whether it works out or not,
Speaker 1: as long as I do the best I can with
Speaker 1: what I've got. I know our baby will come back
Speaker 1: to us when they are ready, and we will be
Speaker 1: here to love and cherish them. Also in January, I
Speaker 1: received an official ADHD diagnosis after I experienced severe anxiety
Speaker 1: and postpartum depression after giving birth to my first child.
Speaker 2: The weird thing is.
Speaker 1: I remember being evaluated at ten years old, but in
Speaker 1: nineteen ninety nine they didn't diagnose me since they didn't
Speaker 1: have the research as to what ADHD looks like in
Speaker 1: girls back then. I immediately felt anger, betrayal, and resentment
Speaker 1: from the school and my parents for not advocating for me.
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have been labeled as the bad kid by teachers.
Speaker 1: My parents thought I was just being lazy for not
Speaker 1: wanting to read and study. I felt stupid when I
Speaker 1: struggled to pay attention and even got kicked out of
Speaker 1: college because my grades were so low. If I had
Speaker 1: the diagnosis back then, I would have received more support
Speaker 1: and resources. However, I felt liberated and freed knowing that
Speaker 1: I have ADHD because it makes more sense and I
Speaker 1: don't feel so stupid anymore. My brain is just wired differently,
Speaker 1: and that's okay. I now have the resources and support
Speaker 1: to guide and help me cope rather than masking my ADHD.
Speaker 1: With all that being said, I now understand that I
Speaker 1: had to go through those hardships to get to where
Speaker 1: I am today. I am channeling all the negative experiences
Speaker 1: and adversities through my nonprofit organization by helping people of
Speaker 1: all ages access therapy, peer support groups, and evaluations. And
Speaker 1: I am now becoming the woman I wish I had
Speaker 1: by my side when I was younger. For others in
Speaker 1: my community, this episode truly resonated and helped me see
Speaker 1: how the universe has our backs and that there is
Speaker 1: a greater purpose in life than what we can see
Speaker 1: with our eyes at the moment. Thank you both so much. Woo.
Speaker 1: I can't tell you how many people I have known
Speaker 1: over the years whose story is so similar to this person's.
Speaker 1: I'm so sorry about your miscarriage, and how wonderful do
Speaker 1: you have this diagnosis and have this support and that
Speaker 1: you are using what has been your experience to help others.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 2: This is what we mean by being the light. It
Speaker 2: is taking all the good and the bad the universe
Speaker 2: has given you and still choosing to share your love,
Speaker 2: your gifts, your talents, your empathy and compassion with those
Speaker 2: around you. And look at what she's doing with her nonprofit.
Speaker 2: That is so beautiful.
Speaker 1: Absolutely it is.
Speaker 2: I'm just wonderful. Yes, okay. Our next one says, I
Speaker 2: have been seeing people that have passed on and shadow
Speaker 2: people in my hallway. It's like they're dropping into visit.
Speaker 2: Last night, as I was alone looking at my phone,
Speaker 2: a shortwave radio I have not used since twenty twenty
Speaker 2: three turn on by itself to static at maximum volume.
Speaker 2: A couple of minutes after, I saw three shadows in
Speaker 2: the hallway, both incidents being rare, I decided they must
Speaker 2: be related and wanted to close the hallway for visitors
Speaker 2: that are not invited. My question is what crystals can
Speaker 2: I place in the hallway? Well, yeah, I would think
Speaker 2: those are connected, wouldn't you deb shadows and then a
Speaker 2: radio you haven't used in two years turning on by itself.
Speaker 1: I would, And certainly I know you're going to talk
Speaker 1: about the crystals that might be helpful to her. I
Speaker 1: have an additional suggestion.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, crystals that would help with this would be
Speaker 2: any protective stone like shungaite, neu mite, black tormaline, hematite
Speaker 2: would be really really good. Amethyst is also good because
Speaker 2: it'll put up a shield, but it'll also put up
Speaker 2: an energy of healing, because I've always felt that shadow
Speaker 2: people are not always a great thing to see, and
Speaker 2: they tend to pop up when we're feeling stressed. So
Speaker 2: you might want to consider putting an amethyst or a
Speaker 2: lepidolite by your bedside as well to calm your own energy.
Speaker 2: Or lithium courts is always a good one for that
Speaker 2: as well. And just make sure as you fall asleep
Speaker 2: to ask whatever resonates for you as your higher power
Speaker 2: to walk through the house and vacuum away take away
Speaker 2: usher out of your home, any anxiety, stress, residue of
Speaker 2: anxious thoughts throughout the day, and any unwonted energies in
Speaker 2: the home, and just ask that higher power to just
Speaker 2: vacuum them up and take them away into the light
Speaker 2: for you. For me, of course, I always ask Arkandel
Speaker 2: Michael to do that, and wait does he respond.
Speaker 1: The other thing I learned a long time ago. Shadow
Speaker 1: people have to leave when you command them to do so.
Speaker 1: So if you say, in addition to what Samantha has suggested,
Speaker 1: be gone, you are not welcome here, they have to go.
Speaker 1: I remember really stressful time in my life some years
Speaker 1: ago where I started seeing shadow people in the corners
Speaker 1: in my doorways in my house, and I thought.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, no.
Speaker 1: First of all, I knew I needed to do something
Speaker 1: with my own anxiety. But I said that and they
Speaker 1: went away. So that might help you too.
Speaker 2: That's a really, really good reminder.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you have more power than you think you do. Okay,
Speaker 1: Our next one says, just want to get your opinion
Speaker 1: on this. I saw a rescue cat online that needed
Speaker 1: a new home. I asked my guys to send me
Speaker 1: a yellow car if I should get the cat, and
Speaker 1: they delivered myself and my husband saw many yellow cars
Speaker 1: for days, so we decided to get the cat, a
Speaker 1: beautiful Balinese cat. However, on our way, a different cat
Speaker 1: ran out in front of our car. She was clearly
Speaker 1: very ill, walking very slowly, not even trying to dodge cars.
Speaker 1: My husband said to get her into the cage that
Speaker 1: we had in the car for the other cat and
Speaker 1: to bring her to the vet. So I hopped out
Speaker 1: of the car and she basically ran into the cage.
Speaker 1: To cut a long story short, we decided to keep
Speaker 1: this cat instead of the other one. She has been
Speaker 1: in and out of the vets for four months now.
Speaker 1: She has staged three kidney failure. She has had three
Speaker 1: blood transfusion as severe anima, and a fungus which she
Speaker 1: also gave to my other cat and dog. She needs
Speaker 1: seven different types of medication every day now, I assume
Speaker 1: for the rest of her life. I want to own
Speaker 1: an animal shelter in the future. So I tried to
Speaker 1: look on the bright side and think maybe my guys
Speaker 1: are showing me what it will really be like, because
Speaker 1: I feel like I've been on an emotional rollercoaster with
Speaker 1: her and have learned a lot about medicine and diseases.
Speaker 1: I'm thinking maybe this is a test. But now I'm
Speaker 1: listening to your podcast episode about negative signs from the universe,
Speaker 1: and am thinking that this is a sign I shouldn't
Speaker 1: have an animal shelter as she keeps getting sick. What
Speaker 1: do you think, Well, I don't see this as a
Speaker 1: negative thing from the universe at all. I see this
Speaker 1: as a wonderful blessing that you have been there and
Speaker 1: are continuing to be there for this wonderful four legged person.
Speaker 2: I agree one hundred percent. And this has happened to
Speaker 2: me so many times. I remember when I wanted to
Speaker 2: get a little dog. I looked at rescue sites and
Speaker 2: I found a little Chihuahua named Spike, and dev I
Speaker 2: fell in love with this little Chiuaha named Spike. I
Speaker 2: was like, this has to be my little person. And
Speaker 2: so I got all the things you need for a
Speaker 2: little dog and we got in our car. The organization
Speaker 2: was an hour and a half away. I put my
Speaker 2: kids in the car and we all drove there. And
Speaker 2: we get there and the person was like, we're so sorry.
Speaker 2: Someone just came and took Spike to their home, and
Speaker 2: I was so sad. I remember driving home going no, no,
Speaker 2: I thought Spike was for us. And two days later
Speaker 2: a client called me and she says, I'm cutting hair
Speaker 2: for one of her clients. And she said, I thought
Speaker 2: I heard you mention that you were getting a little dog.
Speaker 2: But she has a little Yorky that she needs to
Speaker 2: rehome because this little Yorkie needs a surgery for a hernia.
Speaker 2: And she said, what do you think, And I said,
Speaker 2: I will be there. And that's how my little Lily
Speaker 2: came into my life.
Speaker 1: Oh isn't that lovely, wonderful Lily. If you all I
Speaker 1: listened to this podcast for any length of time, y'all
Speaker 1: know about Lily, but there was also Charlie.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, Charlie, and Charlie.
Speaker 1: Was a gift from the universe for you in very
Speaker 1: different ways. Charlie and Lily were very different kinds of Yorkies.
Speaker 1: And Charlie tested Samantha's medal a lot.
Speaker 2: Yes, Charlie needed a lot of help. His full name
Speaker 2: was Charlie Brown and let me tell you, he epitomized
Speaker 2: Charlie Brown in every way. I had actual teeth removed
Speaker 2: at one point. Dev that was so awful. I remember
Speaker 2: that just rotted out of his mouth because he was
Speaker 2: mistreated for so long. But I loved Charlie too. But anyway, Yes,
Speaker 2: I think that these animals come into our life, and
Speaker 2: you probably, this listener probably had this idea of getting
Speaker 2: another cat, And this is how our guides work. They're like,
Speaker 2: how are we going to get her to get another cat.
Speaker 2: We'll show her this beautiful picture of this super healthy,
Speaker 2: amazing cat, and then she's on her way to get
Speaker 2: the cat. And then this poor needy little thing who
Speaker 2: needs so many surgeries and medicines, limps into the car,
Speaker 2: walks into the cage. I mean that's meant to.
Speaker 1: Be Well, yes, it is, of course. And you know
Speaker 1: that's not a negative sign from the universe. That is
Speaker 1: a reinforcement from the universe that you are doing exactly
Speaker 1: what you need to be doing.
Speaker 2: Yes, And it's showing you that you have the strength, resiliency,
Speaker 2: patience and resources to help other animals like this.
Speaker 1: Sometimes what we think our is a negative something is
Speaker 1: really a positive something, and we really have to be
Speaker 1: careful with trying to outthink the universe.
Speaker 2: I think, okay, let's take a very quick break and
Speaker 2: we'll be right back with another beautiful story. Hey everyone,
Speaker 2: just wanted to remind you that I'm asking for help
Speaker 2: celebrating my birthday this month. I'm asking anyone who has
Speaker 2: felt moved or inspired by the show to do a
Speaker 2: random act of kindness and then send me an email
Speaker 2: about it. I'll compile them and share them on a
Speaker 2: future episode. A few listeners have already started doing this
Speaker 2: and sharing it with me. One listener hid some art
Speaker 2: she made around town, Another made a meal for a
Speaker 2: friend who was having a rough week, and another made
Speaker 2: a bracelet for a neighbor. She left it on his
Speaker 2: windshield and he responded with the note back that said
Speaker 2: thank you, Let's be friends, which I just absolutely adore.
Speaker 2: So if you want to help me share the light,
Speaker 2: please consider doing a random act of kindness and then
Speaker 2: tell me about it. Send me an email at Samantha
Speaker 2: at Samantha Fay dot com. Also, I'm teaching my be
Speaker 2: your Own Psychic class and Mediumship classes in July. These
Speaker 2: are super interactive, fun, educational, and supportive classes that will
Speaker 2: teach you how to truly and fully awaken and embrace
Speaker 2: your spiritual gifts. Just go to Samantha Fay dot com
Speaker 2: and click the upcoming events tab also check out Deb's
Speaker 2: great website for her upcoming events, her newsletter, and fantastic
Speaker 2: course offerings by checking out Debbowen dot com. Okay, let's
Speaker 2: get back to the show. Welcome back. Our next one says,
Speaker 2: I listened to your podcast today on how to know
Speaker 2: if the Universe is saying No, and it reminded me
Speaker 2: that it was your podcast where I learned to ask
Speaker 2: my spirit guides for a sign. So I thought you
Speaker 2: might enjoy the story about how you help me communicate
Speaker 2: with my spirit guides and convince me that without a doubt,
Speaker 2: they are listening, available, and will do what they can
Speaker 2: to respond to a request for confirmation. It's a little
Speaker 2: bit of a long story, but worth reading to the end,
Speaker 2: I promise. On the last day of June in twenty twenty,
Speaker 2: I was driving back home to Boise after a two
Speaker 2: week trip to Seattle. I was extremely worried about a
Speaker 2: particular situation, and my friend, knowing I was distressed, recommended
Speaker 2: I listened to your podcast on my nine hour drive home.
Speaker 2: She had taken Debs to ROAUE class and suggested I
Speaker 2: might enjoy listening. I listened to your podcast for nearly
Speaker 2: the entire trip home, and when I wasn't listening, I
Speaker 2: was praying mostly the words show me what to do,
Speaker 2: over and over again. As I listened, I kept noticing
Speaker 2: how often you encourage us to listen for and to
Speaker 2: our spirit guides. That felt right to me, and I
Speaker 2: remember saying out loud, how do you know that your
Speaker 2: spirit guides are available to you, that they're out there,
Speaker 2: that they're around you. How do we know that they
Speaker 2: are a part of our lives? And can hear us?
Speaker 2: You suggested asking our guides for a sign. At that point,
Speaker 2: I thought, I don't even know who I'm talking to,
Speaker 2: but if you can hear me, I need you to
Speaker 2: give me some kind of a sign. What to ask for?
Speaker 2: I thought, Okay, I don't want it to be something simple.
Speaker 2: I don't want it to be a bluebird or you know,
Speaker 2: a butterfly or things that I've heard about before. The
Speaker 2: first thing that popped into my mind was three gold rings.
Speaker 2: Please show me three gold rings, I asked. I kept
Speaker 2: my eyes peeled for the remaining four hours of the
Speaker 2: drive looking for three gold rings, but nothing showed up. Then,
Speaker 2: maybe two weeks after I got home, I was watching
Speaker 2: CBS Sunday morning with my husband. We hadn't watched that
Speaker 2: show together in over a year, and as we were watching,
Speaker 2: the CBS logo came on the screen and I saw
Speaker 2: that it was three gold rings. Only then I remembered
Speaker 2: I had asked for that as a sign. I thought,
Speaker 2: what I imagine many do. Yeah, that's really cool, But you
Speaker 2: know that doesn't feel like I can count on that.
Speaker 2: So I decided to ask for another sign. I thought,
Speaker 2: how about a hummingbird. I absolutely love hummingbirds. My husband
Speaker 2: knows how much I love them, so a few years
Speaker 2: ago he bought some hummingbird feeders for our garden. That's it,
Speaker 2: I thought. My spirit guides, whomever they are, know that
Speaker 2: I needed them to send me a hummingbird. But it
Speaker 2: can't be just another hummingbird in our garden. So I said,
Speaker 2: would you please show me a hummingbird in an environment
Speaker 2: that I'm not used to seeing them in. Then I
Speaker 2: told my husband about your podcast and that I was
Speaker 2: asking for a sign in the form of a hummingbird
Speaker 2: in a very different environment. About a week later, I
Speaker 2: was standing in our living room talking with my husband.
Speaker 2: My back was to the big windows to our patio
Speaker 2: behind me, so my husband said, don't move too fast,
Speaker 2: turn around slowly. I turned around just in time to
Speaker 2: see the hummingbird, who'd been hovering at the window and
Speaker 2: staring into our living room fly away. I said, oh,
Speaker 2: my gosh, that was it. A hummingbird in a different
Speaker 2: environment than I normally see. My husband smiled, but I
Speaker 2: could tell he was thinking it was a reach to
Speaker 2: imagine that hummingbird was a message from my guides. Oh,
Speaker 2: I think we've all seen that smile. It's that smile
Speaker 2: that says, aw, that's so sweet of you.
Speaker 1: You're so pretty.
Speaker 2: It's just you're so pretty. Then about two weeks later,
Speaker 2: he and I were sitting on our patio eating dinner
Speaker 2: and we heard this very strange sound. It was faint.
Speaker 2: I don't even know how to describe it. The sound
Speaker 2: was as if a bird was singing. We didn't know
Speaker 2: where it was coming from. But when I looked up
Speaker 2: into the canopy of trees, I saw a single hummingbird
Speaker 2: flying up high and then down low, and as he
Speaker 2: was doing it, he was making this faint, trilling sound.
Speaker 2: I looked at my husband. Knowingly he agreed it was unique,
Speaker 2: but he surely did not declare his belief that it
Speaker 2: was my spirit God sending me a sign. At some
Speaker 2: point in the following days, I asked him if he
Speaker 2: ever prays anymore, and I was surprised to hear him
Speaker 2: say he isn't sure he believes in much of anything anymore.
Speaker 2: So then, my husband and I are fishing at a
Speaker 2: lake about two hours from home. I'm standing on the
Speaker 2: back of the boat casting my line, and he's on
Speaker 2: the front of the boat casting his line. Just as
Speaker 2: I cast my line, a hummingbird shows up out of nowhere. Now,
Speaker 2: let me just say right now that we have never
Speaker 2: seen hum birds on any lake when we are fishing. Ever,
Speaker 2: this hummingbird came within about fifteen inches from my face
Speaker 2: and just hovered there, looking me directly in the eyes.
Speaker 2: I quietly said my husband's name, and he turned to
Speaker 2: see this remarkable moment. Then the hummingbird darted off to
Speaker 2: the other end of the boat and flew directly to
Speaker 2: my husband. He hovered there about a foot or so
Speaker 2: in front of his face, looking directly at him, and
Speaker 2: then he flew off and was gone. We stood in silence,
Speaker 2: looking at each other. I said, do you believe now, yes,
Speaker 2: he said, I don't think I cannot believe it now.
Speaker 2: Oh that gives me chills.
Speaker 1: I love talk about an in your face sign, literally truly.
Speaker 2: I love this because this hummingbird killed two birds with
Speaker 2: one stone. Not only did he deliver the sign to
Speaker 2: our beautiful licitor, but this hummingbird helped her husband start
Speaker 2: to believe a.
Speaker 1: What a beautiful story. Thank you so much for that.
Speaker 1: And you know her experience of trying something and doubting
Speaker 1: and trying something and doubting and second guessing herself and
Speaker 1: second guessing the universe and second guessing for spirit guides.
Speaker 1: We've all done that. We all have done it, some
Speaker 1: of us even you know some of us still do it.
Speaker 1: But there comes a time, as is her story, where
Speaker 1: it is undeniable that there is something going on that
Speaker 1: is bigger than we are, and isn't it a miracle?
Speaker 1: And isn't it wonderful?
Speaker 2: I just love this story. I do too. It was
Speaker 2: worth reading to the end, so thank you for that.
Speaker 1: It was okay. Our next one says, I have a
Speaker 1: question about something that has always confused me. We know
Speaker 1: we are souls learning lessons here on earth and returning
Speaker 1: back to Earth after we die, and continually reincarnate to
Speaker 1: learn more lessons. But then, how is it that our
Speaker 1: ancestors are still on the other side to greet us
Speaker 1: when we pass. Shouldn't they be back on Earth by then?
Speaker 1: How are they on the other side communicating with us
Speaker 1: here on Earth. Well, this is a great question, and
Speaker 1: it's a fun and far more convoluted and complex answer
Speaker 1: than we can probably give in this episode. But I'll
Speaker 1: give you the kind of the overview here. For one thing,
Speaker 1: time is different on the other side. So what we
Speaker 1: think of as now or the past is an always
Speaker 1: accurate assessment of linear time. It's a different way of
Speaker 1: looking at time. But the other piece of this is
Speaker 1: that when we die physically on this plane and we
Speaker 1: cross over, we have chores and tasks and more lessons
Speaker 1: to learn while we're in another place across the veil
Speaker 1: I call it, where we have things to do and
Speaker 1: people to connect with and lessons to learn. And we
Speaker 1: have pointed in quote time while we're across the veil
Speaker 1: to work with our guides and our support team to
Speaker 1: figure out what we're going to do to learn new
Speaker 1: lessons when we come back onto this earthplane. So sometimes
Speaker 1: when we think of our ancestors as being across the veil.
Speaker 1: You have to think of them as being everywhere, really
Speaker 1: everywhere over a period of time. Once again, I really
Speaker 1: cannot recommend enough to you reading Helen greeves wonderful book
Speaker 1: Testimony of Light. It probably to this day does the
Speaker 1: very best job that I know of blaming this concept
Speaker 1: of our relationships with others as we cross over. Samantha,
Speaker 1: you want to add to that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, First of all, I believe that our higher self
Speaker 2: resides on the other side always. There's the original, the
Speaker 2: og spark of our soul stays on the other side,
Speaker 2: and aspects of us incarnate and this I think explains
Speaker 2: parallel lives as well, But that's a whole other rabbit hole, right. Also,
Speaker 2: people tend to stay on the other side for about
Speaker 2: one hundred years on average, and that's not proven obviously,
Speaker 2: but that's what most people who are able to connect
Speaker 2: with the other side have seen and experienced. And I
Speaker 2: think it's true because if you I shared this story
Speaker 2: in my first book, The Awake Dreamer. My grandmother, my
Speaker 2: mom's mom, you know, wasn't really the nicest lady, and
Speaker 2: she died when I was twelve, and when I was
Speaker 2: thirty five. I had a dream visitation where she said
Speaker 2: that she had put off her life review for years
Speaker 2: on the other side because she didn't want to deal
Speaker 2: with it, and she finally was doing it and was
Speaker 2: having a hard time getting through all of that, and
Speaker 2: she asked for our prayers, and so we all prayed
Speaker 2: for her, and I had another dream visit with her
Speaker 2: a couple of weeks later, where she looked beautiful and
Speaker 2: was glowing in light and said, thank you, your prayers worked,
Speaker 2: I can move on to the next level. My father
Speaker 2: passed away three years ago this month. I didn't have
Speaker 2: my first real dream visit with him until six months ago,
Speaker 2: and he said he was still doing his life review
Speaker 2: process because he enjoyed it so much. He found it
Speaker 2: absolutely fascinating what he was learning. So we also have
Speaker 2: a lot of choice about how much time we can
Speaker 2: spend on the other side and when we're going to return.
Speaker 2: So I think that there's all sorts of reasons why
Speaker 2: we come back quickly or why we choose to stay
Speaker 2: for a long time. A lot of people believe that
Speaker 2: if you have to reincarnate with someone to balance out
Speaker 2: some karma, well then you have to wait for everyone
Speaker 2: to get on the other side and do your life
Speaker 2: review together and map it all out. A lot of
Speaker 2: people believe that if you pass young or tragically, you'll
Speaker 2: come back more quickly. But in any case, there is
Speaker 2: that view that I ascribed to as well, that our
Speaker 2: higher self always stays on the other side, and that
Speaker 2: is what mediums are communicating with, even if an aspect
Speaker 2: of them has reincarnated.
Speaker 1: Yeah, thank you for that. That's helpful.
Speaker 2: I hope this is helpful to our listener me too.
Speaker 2: All right, Our next one says, I want to let
Speaker 2: you know how much I appreciate what you're doing to
Speaker 2: educate people like me who suddenly find themselves on a
Speaker 2: spiritual path. I was raised as an agnostic atheist. My
Speaker 2: childhood wasn't easy, though I was lucky to have a
Speaker 2: lot of strong women around me who saw me for
Speaker 2: who I was and loved me. These women were wonderful
Speaker 2: role models too. When a brilliant close friend of my
Speaker 2: parents had embarked on her own spiritual path around that time,
Speaker 2: she became a healer and practitioner, The WU became a
Speaker 2: part of my everyday life, visiting crystal shops, talking about meditation, reincarnation,
Speaker 2: near death experiences, astral travel, all from a very grounded perspective, Samantha,
Speaker 2: She gave me the same kid's book about astral travel
Speaker 2: that you read. Thanks for mentioning it. Oh, that's really cool.
Speaker 2: This friend trained as a hippotherapist and helped my sister
Speaker 2: and I with regressions when we were young teens. All
Speaker 2: this stayed in the little compartment in my mind as
Speaker 2: I went to university, studied psychology, got regular psychotherapy, found
Speaker 2: my career calling and built and left a long relationship
Speaker 2: with an unsupportive, emotionally abusive man. A year ago, the universe,
Speaker 2: or my guides or someone intervened. As I stood up
Speaker 2: from the lunch table at work to stretch. Without warning,
Speaker 2: I fainted, falling temple first onto a concrete floor in
Speaker 2: front of two colleagues. I was annoyed and apologized to
Speaker 2: my crew that they'd have to finish the day's project
Speaker 2: without me, since I had to go to the er.
Speaker 2: As the concussion set in, I suddenly had to face
Speaker 2: the silence and stillness I had been avoiding. Things had
Speaker 2: been creeping into my consciousness before I was forcibly grounded,
Speaker 2: most notably a dream before my uncle's funeral, where I
Speaker 2: was taken to a room in a beautiful old stone farmhouse,
Speaker 2: the long ancient oak table, where many women and one
Speaker 2: man were silently and peacefully preparing a feast without speaking.
Speaker 2: I knew that these were ancestors I had been researching
Speaker 2: as I put together my family tree, and that they
Speaker 2: were prepared ring a feast to welcome my uncle. After
Speaker 2: the funeral, I gently mentioned this to my cousins, and
Speaker 2: the blank stairs convinced me not to elaborate. Oh, I've
Speaker 2: been there. A few months later, my partner told me
Speaker 2: he wasn't excited to come home to me, and he
Speaker 2: eventually left. In the grief of that time, I started
Speaker 2: to have these intense insights when I woke up, but
Speaker 2: unconnected to any dream I could remember telling my partner.
Speaker 2: One of them led him to admit something he had
Speaker 2: been keeping from me. He later said he wouldn't have
Speaker 2: revealed it if I hadn't told him about my dream download.
Speaker 2: Several more of these followed before he moved out, leading
Speaker 2: to several of these most meaningful and intimate conversations I've
Speaker 2: ever had. They changed the course of our separation and
Speaker 2: allowed us to be truly honest and open. Now, just
Speaker 2: over a year since my cosmic wake up call, I've
Speaker 2: begun meditating. I've taken a step back from work to
Speaker 2: get help fixing the situation, and I've started following the
Speaker 2: nudges and pulls on getting to reconnect with the WU.
Speaker 2: I've reconnected with my mom and found she's really done
Speaker 2: a lot of healing and self reflection, and my ex
Speaker 2: and I are still in contact and still love each other.
Speaker 2: I've become much more confident in my intuition and accept
Speaker 2: and cherish that I just know certain things are going
Speaker 2: to work out, so there's no need to worry. And
Speaker 2: I've had profound insights and experiences meditating, including seeing chakras
Speaker 2: their color size where they are blocked, as well as
Speaker 2: an intense premonition about a former family member. I've performed
Speaker 2: several cord cutting meditations, learned how to psychically clear and
Speaker 2: protect myself and my space. Gon dirovertually every metaphysical or
Speaker 2: crystal shop around, bought more books than I think I
Speaker 2: can read, and binged years of episodes of your shows.
Speaker 2: If I hadn't followed that very annoying and persistent nudge
Speaker 2: to search for a psychic podcast. I wouldn't have found
Speaker 2: you two, and wouldn't have learned how many other people
Speaker 2: find themselves in a similar place, wondering if they're losing
Speaker 2: their minds. I'm so grateful to know I'm not. You
Speaker 2: both are gifts. Wow, well you're a gift too. That's
Speaker 2: just a beautiful email and a wonderful story about how
Speaker 2: when we really do listen to those nudges we can
Speaker 2: fully embrace our spiritual path. You know what strikes me
Speaker 2: the most about this email besides all the good stuff,
Speaker 2: but just as as a workaholic myself, when she faints
Speaker 2: in front of her colleagues, her first instinct was to apologize,
Speaker 2: who can relate to that? You and I Yeah, whoo,
Speaker 2: but that makes me sad? Like she fainted, and her
Speaker 2: first thing was I'm so sorry I won't be able
Speaker 2: to finish out the workday.
Speaker 1: Oh, we have been there, We understand that. Yes, and
Speaker 1: thank you for including that in this email to us,
Speaker 1: because I bet you that the three of us are
Speaker 1: not alone in that mindset. I think there's something, and
Speaker 1: it would be an interesting thing to study, is what
Speaker 1: is the incident The percentage of folks who follow this
Speaker 1: path and who want to really dive deeply in to
Speaker 1: the metaphysical world. How many of us are perfectionists? How
Speaker 1: many of us really do feel like that we have
Speaker 1: to be perfect and do and do and do, And
Speaker 1: I bet the number is huge.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but look, she said, she's taken a step back
Speaker 2: from work and she's good aditating and seeing all this
Speaker 2: cool stuff with chakras and cord cutting, and I just
Speaker 2: love that. And I love that she followed her intuition,
Speaker 2: shared it with her partner, and it enabled them to
Speaker 2: have a healthier I don't even want to say breakup
Speaker 2: because it sounds as though they're still connected, which is great,
Speaker 2: you know, like they're able to part ways but do
Speaker 2: so in an amicable way because she followed her intuition.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's wonderful. Thank you so much for this email.
Speaker 1: We're glad to connect with you, Samantha. I think we
Speaker 1: have time.
Speaker 2: Maybe for one more, Yes, I think so. Okay.
Speaker 1: I've heard you both talk about how time is going
Speaker 1: faster now, boy is it? I was just wondering if
Speaker 1: it seems that way because of all the technology. I'm
Speaker 1: current sitting at the hair salon waiting for the hair
Speaker 1: dye to work its magic forty five minutes, and if
Speaker 1: I didn't have my cell phone, that time would drag.
Speaker 1: I often turn off the radio or podcast or my
Speaker 1: drive to work and just enjoy the scenery, which makes
Speaker 1: my car ride seem longer. I also wonder if the
Speaker 1: ease of housework cooking, with all the time saving gadgets,
Speaker 1: gives us more time to do other stuff, making us
Speaker 1: so busy that it seems that time flies. People used
Speaker 1: to sit and talk more, spend more time ironing, and
Speaker 1: less time on electronics, fast food and door dash, googling
Speaker 1: anything at any time, faster, speed limits, etc. I kind
Speaker 1: of think we're moving faster and not paying attention to time.
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure this forty five minutes is going quicker
Speaker 1: for me than when my grandma used to get her
Speaker 1: weekly hair set every Saturday morning in nineteen seventy. Thanks
Speaker 1: for always making me think. Whoah boy, So anth and
Speaker 1: I have done several episodes on time and what it
Speaker 1: is or is not, or how it moves and through time, space,
Speaker 1: continuum and so forth, and you were so right. I
Speaker 1: could not agree with this person more. Time is a flexible,
Speaker 1: fluid thing, often depending on our perspective, of it, and
Speaker 1: I sometimes, being the blood eye that I am, don't
Speaker 1: think that technology is the best way to spend time,
Speaker 1: quote to spend time as if it were a commodity.
Speaker 1: And it is, and it absolutely is. I mean, I
Speaker 1: think I told the story in a recent episode where
Speaker 1: I was in this wonderful retreat center on a writer
Speaker 1: residency program. There was this coffee pot I couldn't begin
Speaker 1: to operate. I mean, it had so many buttons on it.
Speaker 1: I didn't know what to do with it.
Speaker 2: Folks, I'm still talking about the coffee pot.
Speaker 1: People, I am. I am because for me, I mean
Speaker 1: for coffee and my old fashioned chemics, because that's who
Speaker 1: I am. It's a symbol of me and what I
Speaker 1: believe and how I do things. And it is a
Speaker 1: time where while that water is boiling, I stand at
Speaker 1: the kitchen window and offer up prayers of gratitude. This morning, Samantha,
Speaker 1: I saw a bunny. I mean, you know, it's it
Speaker 1: gives me an opportunity to look at time in a
Speaker 1: different way, and I invite this listener to also think
Speaker 1: about and as she certainly has been or he has
Speaker 1: certainly been doing that a different way of looking at
Speaker 1: time and connecting with time in a different way. I
Speaker 1: love that when you're driving sometimes you turn off the
Speaker 1: radio and just listen to the silence.
Speaker 2: I love knowing that. Yeah, I do too. And you
Speaker 2: know what I was thinking about as I was reading
Speaker 2: over her email when we were in the Revolutionary War.
Speaker 2: Stay with me here, people, I have a point, I promise.
Speaker 2: We needed to get France's help. So Ben Franklin super charming,
Speaker 2: amicable and spoke French. So they sent him over there.
Speaker 2: But you know, Ben loved the ladies, so he was
Speaker 2: kind of partying too much. So they were like, uh, oh,
Speaker 2: we need someone else who's a little bit more sober
Speaker 2: and going to really focus. So they sent Thomas Jefferson. Well,
Speaker 2: he could read a little bit of French, but he
Speaker 2: couldn't speak it. On the trip over the three week
Speaker 2: ship journey, he taught himself French. I think about that
Speaker 2: way too much, Debb, because I think if I had
Speaker 2: a three week journey on a boat now, I'd have
Speaker 2: my kindle, I'd have my books, I'd have my laptop.
Speaker 2: I'd be facetiming my kids, I'd be texting you. I'd
Speaker 2: be talking on the phone to Joel.
Speaker 1: You know, I.
Speaker 2: Wouldn't be learning an entirely new language. But because he
Speaker 2: was on this ship with no distractions, he taught himself
Speaker 2: a whole language. And it just think what we could
Speaker 2: do ourselves if we didn't have all these distractions.
Speaker 1: Well, there's the key is we got we do have
Speaker 1: all these distractions here they are. How much were we
Speaker 1: going to let them rule our lives?
Speaker 2: Apparently a lot. You probably can't relate to this dep
Speaker 2: But every Sunday I get a little ding on my
Speaker 2: phone and it tells me what my screen time was
Speaker 2: for that week, and it'll be like, your screen time
Speaker 2: is up this week by blah blah blah minutes. And
Speaker 2: I'm always like, shut up, Apple, I don't need to know.
Speaker 1: I don't have a clue what that isn't it. I
Speaker 1: don't want to know, because I too can go down
Speaker 1: rabbit holes on YouTube. I can do that, you know,
Speaker 1: for somebody who is very snooty about the fact that
Speaker 1: she doesn't have a television set, I have a computer
Speaker 1: and I have a cell phone.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 1: I do. I do some of those things. I try
Speaker 1: not to. I try really hard to keep a stack
Speaker 1: of books by my bed, by my chair. I mean
Speaker 1: like old fashioned books, you know. So I think that's
Speaker 1: one of my ways of kind of being a lunlight rebel.
Speaker 2: I try to do that. Yeah, I try to balance it,
Speaker 2: I really really do. But I love this email and
Speaker 2: I love that she said we always make her think,
Speaker 2: because that's really what we're trying to do, especially with
Speaker 2: some of the different shows we've done on like the
Speaker 2: CIA Declassified Reports, because that one we did on the
Speaker 2: Gateway Experience really does explain time and how it is
Speaker 2: super created and an illusion.
Speaker 1: Right exactly. There's so much, there's so much to think
Speaker 1: about and do. I'm just afraid I'm going to run
Speaker 1: out of time before i get to think about everything
Speaker 1: I want to think about.
Speaker 2: Well, we're about to run out of time, and we
Speaker 2: have one y five more questions here that we have gathered.
Speaker 2: So if everyone doesn't mind, I think we should do
Speaker 2: a part too.
Speaker 1: Well, Okay, we will work on that.
Speaker 2: Okay. Thank you guys so much for listening, and thank
Speaker 2: you for taking time to send in these wonderful stories
Speaker 2: and questions that help us to think as well and
Speaker 2: remind us that we are all in this together and
Speaker 2: we are all connected. Where WI shoe you a magical
