Speaker 1 (00:00):
Hi, y'all, I'm Julie. Hi there, I'm Brenda. Welcome to
Insider's Guide to the Other Side. Now y'all need to
know that we're obsessed with everything on the other side.
Yes we are, because once you learn to navigate the
energetic or two so the invisible world, life is going
to be more fun and much more serene. Heck, yes
(00:24):
it can, because let's be honest, Brand, Earth school is hard.
In fact, you taught me that. Let's crush eart school together.
Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side. The production
bid Brand, How are you? I'm great, Alf, How are you?
I'm fantastic. I'm fantastic because I have to confess very
(00:48):
quick confession. We didn't even get started hardly had a
breath go right there. But I've been reading so much
from our listeners, and I just love them. They are
so curious and they are so wise, they are all that,
and I love that their stories are incredible, thoughtful, and
(01:08):
just so insightful. That's why we call this Insiders Insights
Number two. You're so clever. You're so clever. You were
so proud of yourself because naming episodes is kind of
my thing. But you kind of took my thing. But
that's fine. You can have you I did. I did.
That's that's the truth. So let's go ahead and dive
in to some questions. I wish we could answer all
(01:30):
of them, but we would be doing this for like
ten hours, so we have to break this up for folks. Okay,
I'm actually super curious about this one, you know, I
like to pick some of these questions that I also
I'm like, oh, I can't wait to hear what Brenda
has to say about it. But this one is from
our listener friend Kate. So hi Kate. So that's the
Greater Kate on Instagram. She's fantastic. So here's what she asked.
(01:52):
Is it just me or is there a serious uptick
worldwide in the leveling up of Energetic Slash others Eyed Powers?
Because I have several lady friends who have been experiencing this.
I love this. I love this question so much, and
it's really also a statement and a story all woven together.
So kudos to her. So I remember that there are
(02:15):
always forces at work in the world, you know. First,
let me just say that in Earth School, the game
on the collective level is always about balancing. So there's
Gorbachev and putin the accelerated technology along with the you
know flashback of farming at our ancestors level of farming.
(02:38):
Right right, there's balancing forces that happened, and it's the
world I was trying to find its balance. So as
Kate's hearing and seeing and experiencing more stories of the
magic of the other side weaving their way into the
day to day lives into people's consciousness, now that there's
also probably a whole another world where people are living
(03:02):
in the state of not believing in it as well.
So the other force that's at play here in the
greater Kate's world is of course the law of attraction,
which is, you know, as she's diving into her own
intuitive experiences and learning to trust them more, she's bringing
more people like her forward in her world. So that's
(03:24):
how I think about that. Well, I think that there
are certainly people that are in that place of disbelief
because they also reach out to us, and they do
sometimes and why they tune in. I have no idea
insider's guide to the other side. So of course we're
gonna be talking about spirits and ghost and all that stuff.
But now they decide to go in there and say
(03:45):
really shitty things. But that's fine because that's the world.
But but there's that's actually all of those opinion comments
are a great example of the balance, right, and exactly
that's exactly right, and we welcome them, right, we welcome them.
You never know when they hear and thing. Well. And
the other thing I would say is researchers actually call
the law of attraction, like they have labeled it, the
(04:06):
blue car syndrome. Right, So if you're shopping for a
blue car and do you get on the highway, all
of a sudden, all you see are the blue cars
and you're like, oh my gosh, there's lots of blue
clowers out here when you never saw them before. So
that's kind of what the researchers call the law of attraction.
Just remember that you can get the law of attraction
from a spiritual standpoint or the blue car syndrome if
you want to be quote unquote scientific. So does that
(04:29):
mean later today when I go out into the real world,
I'm going to see a whole bunch of people in
a Harley Davidson T shirt because that's what I have on.
Is that my law of attraction is quite possible. You
have to see a lot of motorcycles. I do not
drive a motorcycle. Is wona be real clear, I dislike
their brand, I just like their brand. Not I dislike
their brand, I just like their brand. So I'm going
(04:51):
to slide in another one from Kate because she was
totally on fire when she was sending as questions. Her topic,
and this made me really giggle, was fairies and off.
Fairies and stuff. I like it. I like it a lot, right,
fairies and stuff. So you know, stuff can be a
very broad category in encompasses all categories. She could be
(05:12):
asking us, you know about our recommendation for a new
car under that stuff, but luckily she didn't. So under
the fairies part of it, she asked what are they?
And then she asked should we pay attention to them?
Or guard against them? So I'm gonna give you those
two brand and stuff. Should we engage or just engage? Okay?
So engage or protect fairies? M And I don't think
(05:38):
she means the guys at Gay Pride. I don't think
that's what she meant. Because I was getting ready to
answer that question, and then I realized it's like, oh no, no, no, no,
that's not meant for me or my people. The energy
of the fairy realm is very real, and it's a
very powerful. And if ever you lose stuff in a
(06:00):
very in a closed environment. I have one friend who
always blames it on the fairies, and she will put
an open scissors in the window and tell them I'm
not saying I'm not recommending this, but this is a story.
She puts an open scissors in the window and tells them,
bring my stuff background cutting off your wings. Oh my god,
I love whoever that is. Where you have her? Find
(06:22):
that damn palm reading book I still can't find. Oh
my god, I will like you can do it, but
put scissors on. She comes a little little aggro. She
goes a little badass on them right out of the gate.
I usually just ask for it back, but she just so.
The fairies are real, and remember, just like any energy
pattern in the universe, Greater Kate, that you can engage
(06:45):
with them in a positive way or a negative way.
As you continue to keep your vibe high, you will
ensure that you're engaging them in a positive way. But
the fairy power is real. Do not underestimate the fairy
power where they come from, the from the earth elements.
They are as they come from the Earth elements, very powerful.
Earth elements, aren't elves in the same category as Yeah,
(07:09):
there's my people. We bake cookies and trees. That's what
we do. History it is is baking cookies. So under
the stuff part for her because that was the fairies,
and then now we have the stuff she asks about,
(07:31):
which I think is related in a way because it's
she's asked what energies, but she asked about gods and goddesses.
And then I'm going to add to her question because
I'm going to give examples kind of like the Hindu
gods or the Greek gods. Are those real? They are
so real, and they're so real, they are as real
as you and me. They have what's considered huge morphic fields,
(07:53):
so they are fields that everyone can activate and connect with.
They're known all over the planet and you know, rural
rural places as well as just everywhere. And then they
are very very real. And as you engage with these
huge morphic fields, these beings, these energy patterns, they can
amplify your efforts, they can bless you. They're really powerful, right.
(08:18):
I worked with the gadas Athena because she came to me,
and I have a class called Athenia in Action for
corporate women how to get into action, how to rule right.
The galas Athena works in the sacred male and the
sacred feminine domains, and this is perfect for corporate women.
And I work with Athena for Athena's Magical Secrets, which
(08:39):
is a more spiritually focused course. So like this is
how one way that I work with one of these
quote unquote and stuff for this question and stuff. But
the important thing is, like some people will come to
these entities, to these beings with a a deferment worshiping
(09:02):
and honoring, or even further deferment into how do I obey?
So you get to pick your avenue of connection. And
again you always want to keep your vibe high. Some
people will evencome that says, you know, and they're all
countless movies about this. I'm sure you can talk to
about this. Julie says, you know, I'm going to try
(09:22):
and grab the power of the God or the goddess.
Like I'm going to try and do that and embody
that and steal the sacred scepter, sword or whatever it is,
and then they do. We made the Percy Jackson movies
and so those were all about the Greek gods. There
you go, yeah, exactly, That's what I'm talking about. So
the great stories here and these beings are real. So
those stories work, but they also work in our lives.
(09:45):
So in two thousand eight, during the financial crisis, I
was very impressed, like impressed by the people who were
suddenly living in scarcity, people who wouldn't normally live in scarcity,
and suddenly they are consumed like I have to shut down.
I can't. You know, this is bad out and the
whole world is going to you know, explode. And it
was a very scary time. I mean, that was a
(10:05):
time of complete contraction financially and just overall in general.
And two counter that, I wanted to offer people an
experience of abundance and expansion and choosing love. And so
I did a workshop at the studio, at the Juges
Studio where to teach of working with Lakshmi, who is
(10:26):
the Hindu goddess of love and abundance and beauty and
wisdom and good fortune, like all these things that are
counter to scarcity. We did this huge afternoon of teaching
and chanting and practicing and journaling, and at the end
of this afternoon workshop, someone raised her hand and asked, so,
(10:47):
why would we want to chant this goddess's name? Like,
what does that? What does that do for us? Amazingly
what she's asking, and I just giggled. And what I
reminded her is that these beings, these things we aspire
to and are inspired by, are not separate from us.
So when especially in the Hindu term or sanscrit or
(11:09):
even in the ancient Aramaic, these are vibrational languages. So
when we say their name, it literally vibrates our system
so that it activates their essence within ourselves. And so
this is a really powerful and positive way to engage
these beings in the energy of them within our own self,
(11:31):
which is why chanting is helpful. So that was my
answer to her, And so I offer that to Kate
in case she is working with those sound based languages. Okay,
And I'm just gonna say for the record, since we
are recording, yes, that you respond like that. So when
I say your name, you inevitably reach out to me.
It is the strangest I'm like, so you must be
some I don't know. Is there is there like a
(11:52):
Cincinnati Family of Goddesses or something that you represent, because
every time I'm like, well Brenda, dad, and then boom
there you are or texta right right, Well, we definitely
like Jeff's or gifts or whatever what is it really called?
You should know because you know everything, nothing that's true,
(12:14):
you don't find spot. So still with the gods and goddesses.
Just really just really quickly before we move on. Susanne
and I love Lord Ganesha. Love like we have a
six ft carved statue of him outside and then I have,
of course a Brazilian statues of Lord Ganesha within the house.
(12:35):
And I mean I think I have one here on
my desk. Also like wizards, but we're going that's a
whole another thing. And I do because I just it's weird.
I looked over and I saw my wizard and you
know me, I have to always talk when something goes
through my head. But Lord Ganesha, what I love is
he is the remover of obstacles. But there's also another
(12:57):
aspect to him. What I love and why I like
him all over home is every day is a new day. Well,
he is the keeper of thresholds, and so when you
enter the temples in India, you would kiss your hand
and then touch the threshold to Anna Ganesh, because he
sits at the threshold every threshold, whether the temple is
(13:18):
for him or not. And so the threshold of the
new day is dawn. So you would do your own
gun Namaha. You would do that at the at the
dawn right or whenever you arise, which is not dawn,
may happy, which may or may not happy dawn, No,
it is not done. Is nowhere near dawn. So I
(13:39):
think that to the greater Kate's question is, yes, they
do exist. They are very real, and they are very big,
and honor them and say their names, or have those
pictures like you have statues or more tease right pictures, statues,
all of all of the above. Yes, And I love
that you brought up Ganesh because you never really work
(14:00):
with lash Me without Kandesh, because you would want to
open that sacred threshold which is Kanes and then bringing
the abundance and cless things that latched me there. You go. Well,
and I have to tell you that it's and we
will eventually talk about past lives and karmic and you
know how they affect our life in today, but just
in terms of past lives. The first time I went
(14:21):
to India, I think was probably about fourteen years ago,
and I was kind of freaked out about traveling that far.
I mean, my old job, I was responsible for a
hundred one countries like so I traveled all the time,
but India was not a place I had ever been before.
The second I got off that airplane, it felt like
I was home. It was incredible, and I just started
(14:43):
just trying to learn everything about I mean, they have
gods and goddesses for like the kitchen sank It was fantastic. Gosh,
I just loved it. Like they so spiritual in their
approach and how they not just the whole day, but
every aspect within the day is so carefully thought through
(15:03):
and they're so precious with it. And plus you know
what they like a good cow. You know, I sent
traffic for five hours one time because there was a
that was just stand There was a cow is just
standing there, and I'm like this is every else is
getting all frustrated and piste off, and I'm like this
is magical. You would never find this United States. Are
you talking about this in such an honoring and beautiful
(15:26):
way about the country that sent us the yoga cult?
Is that what you're talking? Oh crap, okay, fine, I'll
go and tell you every note is. And I said
to Suzanne, I can't believe you did this. I said,
I'm like, baby, you got I said, I gotta take
a yoga class. And I said, and I can't tell
Brenda because I call a cult because it is, but
(15:50):
I'm going to join your cult. I gotta take yoga.
I feel like I'm stiff as a board. I know,
I'm seriously stiff as a board, So I've got to
take yoga. But yes, it came from India. But I
just want to also honor because you are paying attention
to that landing in Indian going what this is like
just leaning in and being drawn in. Most people I've
never been to India, but most people have the exact
(16:12):
opposite experience. They land in India and they are completely
overwhelmed by the sights, by the sounds, by the smells,
by the colors, by the volume, and You're like, I'm
all in. I just love that. I love that. That's
magical and Honestly, it was such a magical moment in
my life because I felt like I was home. I
(16:32):
felt and I loved it. In the food now granted
I had everything vegetarian because I was afraid of the meat,
but it was magical. And I love the people and
talking to everyone, and yeah, and and and I get listen,
I know there's the poverty is severe, and I don't
love that, but I do love like. There was a
woman that I worked with. She ran our India operation
(16:54):
for the AD Agency, and she lived in a three
level home and her grandparents lived on the bottom floor,
her parents lived on the middle floor, and she lived
on the top floor. And I that is one of
the things that I have carried along with me since then,
about how beautiful that that is that they all stay
together and they figure things out together. They yeah, let's
(17:17):
you have to share a home. You know, it's like
to share a home. You must work together when you
share a structure. So I just I love that about
them and their culture. So yeah, I'm a huge fan
of India. I think we might have listeners and I
think a three listeners in India. We maybe maybe we'll
get more because of my love of India. Thank you
(17:37):
Kate for the question. So the next question is not
from Kate. It's a wonderful question, which is how to
help loved ones who pass on see the light and transition. Well,
there's so many traditions about how to do that. Many
(17:57):
people will have a list for people. In the Catholic tradition,
they'll have a list of people that they send out
when someone has passed and say, will you say the
rosary for forty days for this person? So that's one
way that's very popular. Of course, sitting shiva if you
are Jewish, is the tradition. Will you gather and you
(18:19):
tell stories and you cover all the mirrors so the
spirit doesn't get confused about which direction to go. You know,
there's um is that or they do that? You know
that I never knew that. Yeah, because no idea. I
never knew that are their portals. So yeah, and you
want the spirit to have a direct line right to
the divine so to re be reunited. So there are
endless traditions. Those are just some that are more popular.
(18:42):
But what I would remind people is that the doorway
to the other side is one way they go across.
They oftentimes will sweep through, visit their loved ones on
their exit ramp, and then they cross and they don't
usually get lost, even though Hollywood would have us think
very differently about that process. You know, hey, easy on, Hollywood. Hey,
(19:08):
it's great storytelling. It just isn't doesn't have the benefit
of being accurate. And sometimes you can call it a cult,
just like we can have our thing and like I
call it, you can call Hollywood called it totally fine,
I'm just telling you the great storytelling, but it really
is a one way door. That doesn't mean that you
don't have access to spirits the minute they pass, but
(19:28):
usually they are occupied with the process that happens for them,
the reunion as well as the recovery and the healing
that happens. So it doesn't mean that singing their name,
we're telling those stories, saying those prayers, with holding the
vision of that your loved when in your heart as
you're doing that won't support their transition because those are
all very high vibe activities and when someone's thinking about
(19:53):
you and holding the best of you in their heart,
that impacts you in a positive way, and it's the
same one they're in the spirit world. So that's what
I would offer people to do. What I would add
is more intimate advice. So if you're working with someone
and you have a loved one that might be in
the hospital or might be at home and they are
(20:13):
in the process of transitioning over, what I can tell
you is even if you don't think they can hear you,
they can. And any time if you're going to fight
with a sibling in front of a parent that is transitioning,
don't that does not help them in the process. You know,
it just doesn't. And I think one of the things
that you've always told me, and I think you actually
(20:33):
might have mentioned it on a past episode, which is,
you know, let them know they can go. Give them permission. Yeah,
give them permission. I think that helps them transition well.
And certainly, you know, clean up your side of the
street with them. Yeah, that's another thing that we've talked about,
you knowin you've told stories about people kind of cleaning
up that side of their street. And I think, again,
(20:54):
that helps not only them, but it helps you as well.
And I will just add a very wick story and
it was and it's about you brand. It was so fascinating.
I remember the last time that I actually saw my
mother alive. I mean when I say alive, I mean
she was still, things were functioning. I held her hand
and I was, of course sobbing, and in my head,
(21:16):
I didn't even say it out loud. In my head,
I said, be nice to dad. Have no earthly idea
Why the hell I said that? I really don't. It
wasn't like it was premeditated. It just came out, was
being nice to dad. And they had been divorced since
I was five years old. So this was thirty five
years later, thirty six years later. When I had said
that when we first met and you were connecting with
(21:39):
Mona for Susanne and Reuben and Jimmy and I, you know,
my mom shows up and when the first things that
she said to you, through you to me was I
was nice to your father. I because Susan didn't even know,
I said that it was just me, that is it.
And I about fell on the floor, mainly because wait,
how did she know? I mean, that's what? Wait, how
(22:02):
does she know that? So when I say to to
everyone that they know what you say, they not only know,
they know what you think. So when you want someone
to transition, it's like, stay in that place of love,
you know, don't go fight and argue with everybody because
that energy is not going to help anybody in the situation.
So that's my two cents, and it's so beautiful, so helpful.
(22:23):
And remember when you are in those incredibly vulnerable, highly
activated emotional states, anything can trigger you. But you have
a choice. You can engage and fight with the people
in the earth plane who are going to be here while,
which you can settle that later, or you can stay
focused on the purpose that you're gathered, which is to
(22:44):
help someone transition, and take the time to do the
inventory that says, what do I want to thank this
person for, how is my life different because of them,
and how do I want to honor them in this
exact few moments I have left, and then activate that.
I mean, that's the biggest thing. When my beloved family
gathered when his mom was transitioning, I suggested that they
(23:07):
sing her out because she loved music. She loved to
play piano, she loved to hear music. She went to
every concert for one of her daughters as a conductor
in schools, and she went to every concert that she had.
I mean, it was really beautiful. They just loved music,
and so they literally sang when the Saints come marching
(23:29):
in as she took her left breath. It was actually
they so everyone around and and my suggestion into them
was absolutely to honor their mom, but to help the
siblings unify, because when you sing together, you are unified
vibration Lee, and to help the siblings unify from a
vibrational standpoint, to let mom know it's okay, to let go,
(23:51):
look at your babies are fine. And so I love
that they were like Banana Rama. They were a band.
If anybody were members Banana Rama, please tell us on Instagram,
because I'm not sure everybody remembers Banana Rama. I don't
know where that came from. Insanity. And but again, the
(24:12):
high vibration, the unification of the siblings, them all coming together,
and they were really supportive of each other anyhow, but
just to get the unification to help this verifying their way.
So these are all really great remembrances of how to
take care of your own vibration while showing up at
the best highest vibe to support the loved one who's
(24:33):
getting ready to go through that sacred threshold. That's beautiful.
Do we have time for one more question? We got
time for one more. I'm going to pick out my
favorite one. Since I'm asking questions that gives me the
power of favorites, because I do love this next question.
I do love this next question so much, which is
when you were thinking of someone and they call or
(24:55):
you run into them, what's going on? That happens to
me all the time, and I love it so hit us, Brenda,
tell us why it tell us what's going on is
that this is the you like to call out the
sender receiver, right, the sender receiver addictivation, and it's really
operating on the etheric level of the first layer of
(25:16):
the energy field. So it's a slightly grid and think
of it as things get pinned across this grid. It
just happens in this way. And when you're lining up
and I'm always talking about going to meditation and have
a soft focus. When you have that soft focus kind
of running all the time in the background, you pick
up on those etheric pings. It's like you get text
(25:37):
messages from the universe on the etheric level. And so
it's so fun because it's such great confirmation. Hey, I'm
dialed in I'm paying attention. Yeah, I got that one.
It's really fun and it's a great remembrance in a
really busy, overcommitted, fast moving world like oh, that's right
that what Earth is magical? I forget that. Or school
(26:00):
is magical, I forget that, And it's it's wonderful remembrances
to pay attention because there's so much there for us.
My experience is oftentimes not only like hey, I'm thinking
about you, or else, send someone a text that says,
you hit my radar screen today. That's usually my my tailine,
you hit my radar screen. For people who don't know
the Earth world is magical, like how did you know?
(26:21):
Just a lucky guess. And so this is such a
fun way to play with the universe. And every time
you activate on that, or you'll text someone and say, hey,
what are you doing today? Or I'm thinking about you today?
What's going on? Even if you haven't heard from them
in a year or something, it's and you get confirmation back,
I was just looking at this picture that we did
we took when we were together two years ago or whatever.
(26:42):
You know, you get that confirmation. It's like a muscle,
it's like a spiritual muscle you're building that gets stronger
and stronger. So it's this great feedback system that when
you dial in you get so much more back, so
the next one will be that much stronger, and on
it goes. That one, I have to say, is one
of my most favorite things that I experience. Hands. It's fun.
It is. It is like a joy. It's like you know,
(27:04):
whether it is I'm thinking of someone and then there
they are, or it works vice versa, of course. And
what I really love is wherever I am driving, sitting,
whatever it may be, and I kind of get this
this hit right because I call it a hit and
kind of like a song, it's a hit that I
(27:25):
might I've you know, I've had times I've been like,
I need to check my email because I think I
have something in there that I need to see right now,
and lo and behold, I do, and sometimes I know
who it's from. Like there have been times when I
have said to Suzanne, I go, I bet I have
an email from so and so, and she's like what
I said, Yeah, we're just kind of testing my little
psychic muscles, baby, and I go in there and there's
something from a person who I have not heard from
(27:47):
in a while. So it is truly one of my
most fun things. And it's also such a fun way to,
you know, reconnect with people. So when you know, if
I'm getting kind of a hit on someone and they're
not reaching out to me, I'll like how you said,
I'll reach out to them and like, oh my god,
I was thinking about you. She's just it's just joy. Yes,
it is absolute joy. So I will tell our listener
(28:10):
Becca that she needs to be checking her text and
her voicemail and her email more often because it sounds oh,
it sounds like she's probably tuned into it, but otherwise
she wouldn't ask that question. Trusted trust it. Yeah, I
have this little party dance with yourself because it's so fun.
And remember that Earth school is hard. When you forget
that the world is actually magic, when you forget that
(28:32):
you are connected to the other side, when you make
space for it, the world gets so much easier and
so much more fun. That's why I like wizards. Wizards
in ganesh. There you go and go man. Thanks so
much to all our listeners for sending in these great questions.
We love hearing from you. Thanks everybody keeping coming. Come fine.
(28:59):

Hi, y'all, I'm Julie. Hi there, I'm Brenda. Welcome to
Insider's Guide to the Other Side. Now y'all need to
know that we're obsessed with everything on the other side.
Yes we are, because once you learn to navigate the
energetic or two so the invisible world, life is going
to be more fun and much more serene. Heck, yes
(00:24):
it can, because let's be honest, Brand, Earth school is hard.
In fact, you taught me that. Let's crush eart school together.
Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side. The production
bid Brand, How are you? I'm great, Alf, How are you?
I'm fantastic. I'm fantastic because I have to confess very
(00:48):
quick confession. We didn't even get started hardly had a
breath go right there. But I've been reading so much
from our listeners, and I just love them. They are
so curious and they are so wise, they are all that,
and I love that their stories are incredible, thoughtful, and
(01:08):
just so insightful. That's why we call this Insiders Insights
Number two. You're so clever. You're so clever. You were
so proud of yourself because naming episodes is kind of
my thing. But you kind of took my thing. But
that's fine. You can have you I did. I did.
That's that's the truth. So let's go ahead and dive
in to some questions. I wish we could answer all
(01:30):
of them, but we would be doing this for like
ten hours, so we have to break this up for folks. Okay,
I'm actually super curious about this one, you know, I
like to pick some of these questions that I also
I'm like, oh, I can't wait to hear what Brenda
has to say about it. But this one is from
our listener friend Kate. So hi Kate. So that's the
Greater Kate on Instagram. She's fantastic. So here's what she asked.
(01:52):
Is it just me or is there a serious uptick
worldwide in the leveling up of Energetic Slash others Eyed Powers?
Because I have several lady friends who have been experiencing this.
I love this. I love this question so much, and
it's really also a statement and a story all woven together.
So kudos to her. So I remember that there are
(02:15):
always forces at work in the world, you know. First,
let me just say that in Earth School, the game
on the collective level is always about balancing. So there's
Gorbachev and putin the accelerated technology along with the you
know flashback of farming at our ancestors level of farming.
(02:38):
Right right, there's balancing forces that happened, and it's the
world I was trying to find its balance. So as
Kate's hearing and seeing and experiencing more stories of the
magic of the other side weaving their way into the
day to day lives into people's consciousness, now that there's
also probably a whole another world where people are living
(03:02):
in the state of not believing in it as well.
So the other force that's at play here in the
greater Kate's world is of course the law of attraction,
which is, you know, as she's diving into her own
intuitive experiences and learning to trust them more, she's bringing
more people like her forward in her world. So that's
(03:24):
how I think about that. Well, I think that there
are certainly people that are in that place of disbelief
because they also reach out to us, and they do
sometimes and why they tune in. I have no idea
insider's guide to the other side. So of course we're
gonna be talking about spirits and ghost and all that stuff.
But now they decide to go in there and say
(03:45):
really shitty things. But that's fine because that's the world.
But but there's that's actually all of those opinion comments
are a great example of the balance, right, and exactly
that's exactly right, and we welcome them, right, we welcome them.
You never know when they hear and thing. Well. And
the other thing I would say is researchers actually call
the law of attraction, like they have labeled it, the
(04:06):
blue car syndrome. Right, So if you're shopping for a
blue car and do you get on the highway, all
of a sudden, all you see are the blue cars
and you're like, oh my gosh, there's lots of blue
clowers out here when you never saw them before. So
that's kind of what the researchers call the law of attraction.
Just remember that you can get the law of attraction
from a spiritual standpoint or the blue car syndrome if
you want to be quote unquote scientific. So does that
(04:29):
mean later today when I go out into the real world,
I'm going to see a whole bunch of people in
a Harley Davidson T shirt because that's what I have on.
Is that my law of attraction is quite possible. You
have to see a lot of motorcycles. I do not
drive a motorcycle. Is wona be real clear, I dislike
their brand, I just like their brand. Not I dislike
their brand, I just like their brand. So I'm going
(04:51):
to slide in another one from Kate because she was
totally on fire when she was sending as questions. Her topic,
and this made me really giggle, was fairies and off.
Fairies and stuff. I like it. I like it a lot, right,
fairies and stuff. So you know, stuff can be a
very broad category in encompasses all categories. She could be
(05:12):
asking us, you know about our recommendation for a new
car under that stuff, but luckily she didn't. So under
the fairies part of it, she asked what are they?
And then she asked should we pay attention to them?
Or guard against them? So I'm gonna give you those
two brand and stuff. Should we engage or just engage? Okay?
So engage or protect fairies? M And I don't think
(05:38):
she means the guys at Gay Pride. I don't think
that's what she meant. Because I was getting ready to
answer that question, and then I realized it's like, oh no, no, no, no,
that's not meant for me or my people. The energy
of the fairy realm is very real, and it's a
very powerful. And if ever you lose stuff in a
(06:00):
very in a closed environment. I have one friend who
always blames it on the fairies, and she will put
an open scissors in the window and tell them I'm
not saying I'm not recommending this, but this is a story.
She puts an open scissors in the window and tells them,
bring my stuff background cutting off your wings. Oh my god,
I love whoever that is. Where you have her? Find
(06:22):
that damn palm reading book I still can't find. Oh
my god, I will like you can do it, but
put scissors on. She comes a little little aggro. She
goes a little badass on them right out of the gate.
I usually just ask for it back, but she just so.
The fairies are real, and remember, just like any energy
pattern in the universe, Greater Kate, that you can engage
(06:45):
with them in a positive way or a negative way.
As you continue to keep your vibe high, you will
ensure that you're engaging them in a positive way. But
the fairy power is real. Do not underestimate the fairy
power where they come from, the from the earth elements.
They are as they come from the Earth elements, very powerful.
Earth elements, aren't elves in the same category as Yeah,
(07:09):
there's my people. We bake cookies and trees. That's what
we do. History it is is baking cookies. So under
the stuff part for her because that was the fairies,
and then now we have the stuff she asks about,
(07:31):
which I think is related in a way because it's
she's asked what energies, but she asked about gods and goddesses.
And then I'm going to add to her question because
I'm going to give examples kind of like the Hindu
gods or the Greek gods. Are those real? They are
so real, and they're so real, they are as real
as you and me. They have what's considered huge morphic fields,
(07:53):
so they are fields that everyone can activate and connect with.
They're known all over the planet and you know, rural
rural places as well as just everywhere. And then they
are very very real. And as you engage with these
huge morphic fields, these beings, these energy patterns, they can
amplify your efforts, they can bless you. They're really powerful, right.
(08:18):
I worked with the gadas Athena because she came to me,
and I have a class called Athenia in Action for
corporate women how to get into action, how to rule right.
The galas Athena works in the sacred male and the
sacred feminine domains, and this is perfect for corporate women.
And I work with Athena for Athena's Magical Secrets, which
(08:39):
is a more spiritually focused course. So like this is
how one way that I work with one of these
quote unquote and stuff for this question and stuff. But
the important thing is, like some people will come to
these entities, to these beings with a a deferment worshiping
(09:02):
and honoring, or even further deferment into how do I obey?
So you get to pick your avenue of connection. And
again you always want to keep your vibe high. Some
people will evencome that says, you know, and they're all
countless movies about this. I'm sure you can talk to
about this. Julie says, you know, I'm going to try
(09:22):
and grab the power of the God or the goddess.
Like I'm going to try and do that and embody
that and steal the sacred scepter, sword or whatever it is,
and then they do. We made the Percy Jackson movies
and so those were all about the Greek gods. There
you go, yeah, exactly, That's what I'm talking about. So
the great stories here and these beings are real. So
those stories work, but they also work in our lives.
(09:45):
So in two thousand eight, during the financial crisis, I
was very impressed, like impressed by the people who were
suddenly living in scarcity, people who wouldn't normally live in scarcity,
and suddenly they are consumed like I have to shut down.
I can't. You know, this is bad out and the
whole world is going to you know, explode. And it
was a very scary time. I mean, that was a
(10:05):
time of complete contraction financially and just overall in general.
And two counter that, I wanted to offer people an
experience of abundance and expansion and choosing love. And so
I did a workshop at the studio, at the Juges
Studio where to teach of working with Lakshmi, who is
(10:26):
the Hindu goddess of love and abundance and beauty and
wisdom and good fortune, like all these things that are
counter to scarcity. We did this huge afternoon of teaching
and chanting and practicing and journaling, and at the end
of this afternoon workshop, someone raised her hand and asked, so,
(10:47):
why would we want to chant this goddess's name? Like,
what does that? What does that do for us? Amazingly
what she's asking, and I just giggled. And what I
reminded her is that these beings, these things we aspire
to and are inspired by, are not separate from us.
So when especially in the Hindu term or sanscrit or
(11:09):
even in the ancient Aramaic, these are vibrational languages. So
when we say their name, it literally vibrates our system
so that it activates their essence within ourselves. And so
this is a really powerful and positive way to engage
these beings in the energy of them within our own self,
(11:31):
which is why chanting is helpful. So that was my
answer to her, And so I offer that to Kate
in case she is working with those sound based languages. Okay,
And I'm just gonna say for the record, since we
are recording, yes, that you respond like that. So when
I say your name, you inevitably reach out to me.
It is the strangest I'm like, so you must be
some I don't know. Is there is there like a
(11:52):
Cincinnati Family of Goddesses or something that you represent, because
every time I'm like, well Brenda, dad, and then boom
there you are or texta right right, Well, we definitely
like Jeff's or gifts or whatever what is it really called?
You should know because you know everything, nothing that's true,
(12:14):
you don't find spot. So still with the gods and goddesses.
Just really just really quickly before we move on. Susanne
and I love Lord Ganesha. Love like we have a
six ft carved statue of him outside and then I have,
of course a Brazilian statues of Lord Ganesha within the house.
(12:35):
And I mean I think I have one here on
my desk. Also like wizards, but we're going that's a
whole another thing. And I do because I just it's weird.
I looked over and I saw my wizard and you
know me, I have to always talk when something goes
through my head. But Lord Ganesha, what I love is
he is the remover of obstacles. But there's also another
(12:57):
aspect to him. What I love and why I like
him all over home is every day is a new day. Well,
he is the keeper of thresholds, and so when you
enter the temples in India, you would kiss your hand
and then touch the threshold to Anna Ganesh, because he
sits at the threshold every threshold, whether the temple is
(13:18):
for him or not. And so the threshold of the
new day is dawn. So you would do your own
gun Namaha. You would do that at the at the
dawn right or whenever you arise, which is not dawn,
may happy, which may or may not happy dawn, No,
it is not done. Is nowhere near dawn. So I
(13:39):
think that to the greater Kate's question is, yes, they
do exist. They are very real, and they are very big,
and honor them and say their names, or have those
pictures like you have statues or more tease right pictures, statues,
all of all of the above. Yes, And I love
that you brought up Ganesh because you never really work
(14:00):
with lash Me without Kandesh, because you would want to
open that sacred threshold which is Kanes and then bringing
the abundance and cless things that latched me there. You go. Well,
and I have to tell you that it's and we
will eventually talk about past lives and karmic and you
know how they affect our life in today, but just
in terms of past lives. The first time I went
(14:21):
to India, I think was probably about fourteen years ago,
and I was kind of freaked out about traveling that far.
I mean, my old job, I was responsible for a
hundred one countries like so I traveled all the time,
but India was not a place I had ever been before.
The second I got off that airplane, it felt like
I was home. It was incredible, and I just started
(14:43):
just trying to learn everything about I mean, they have
gods and goddesses for like the kitchen sank It was fantastic. Gosh,
I just loved it. Like they so spiritual in their
approach and how they not just the whole day, but
every aspect within the day is so carefully thought through
(15:03):
and they're so precious with it. And plus you know
what they like a good cow. You know, I sent
traffic for five hours one time because there was a
that was just stand There was a cow is just
standing there, and I'm like this is every else is
getting all frustrated and piste off, and I'm like this
is magical. You would never find this United States. Are
you talking about this in such an honoring and beautiful
(15:26):
way about the country that sent us the yoga cult?
Is that what you're talking? Oh crap, okay, fine, I'll
go and tell you every note is. And I said
to Suzanne, I can't believe you did this. I said,
I'm like, baby, you got I said, I gotta take
a yoga class. And I said, and I can't tell
Brenda because I call a cult because it is, but
(15:50):
I'm going to join your cult. I gotta take yoga.
I feel like I'm stiff as a board. I know,
I'm seriously stiff as a board, So I've got to
take yoga. But yes, it came from India. But I
just want to also honor because you are paying attention
to that landing in Indian going what this is like
just leaning in and being drawn in. Most people I've
never been to India, but most people have the exact
(16:12):
opposite experience. They land in India and they are completely
overwhelmed by the sights, by the sounds, by the smells,
by the colors, by the volume, and You're like, I'm
all in. I just love that. I love that. That's
magical and Honestly, it was such a magical moment in
my life because I felt like I was home. I
(16:32):
felt and I loved it. In the food now granted
I had everything vegetarian because I was afraid of the meat,
but it was magical. And I love the people and
talking to everyone, and yeah, and and and I get listen,
I know there's the poverty is severe, and I don't
love that, but I do love like. There was a
woman that I worked with. She ran our India operation
(16:54):
for the AD Agency, and she lived in a three
level home and her grandparents lived on the bottom floor,
her parents lived on the middle floor, and she lived
on the top floor. And I that is one of
the things that I have carried along with me since then,
about how beautiful that that is that they all stay
together and they figure things out together. They yeah, let's
(17:17):
you have to share a home. You know, it's like
to share a home. You must work together when you
share a structure. So I just I love that about
them and their culture. So yeah, I'm a huge fan
of India. I think we might have listeners and I
think a three listeners in India. We maybe maybe we'll
get more because of my love of India. Thank you
(17:37):
Kate for the question. So the next question is not
from Kate. It's a wonderful question, which is how to
help loved ones who pass on see the light and transition. Well,
there's so many traditions about how to do that. Many
(17:57):
people will have a list for people. In the Catholic tradition,
they'll have a list of people that they send out
when someone has passed and say, will you say the
rosary for forty days for this person? So that's one
way that's very popular. Of course, sitting shiva if you
are Jewish, is the tradition. Will you gather and you
(18:19):
tell stories and you cover all the mirrors so the
spirit doesn't get confused about which direction to go. You know,
there's um is that or they do that? You know
that I never knew that. Yeah, because no idea. I
never knew that are their portals. So yeah, and you
want the spirit to have a direct line right to
the divine so to re be reunited. So there are
endless traditions. Those are just some that are more popular.
(18:42):
But what I would remind people is that the doorway
to the other side is one way they go across.
They oftentimes will sweep through, visit their loved ones on
their exit ramp, and then they cross and they don't
usually get lost, even though Hollywood would have us think
very differently about that process. You know, hey, easy on, Hollywood. Hey,
(19:08):
it's great storytelling. It just isn't doesn't have the benefit
of being accurate. And sometimes you can call it a cult,
just like we can have our thing and like I
call it, you can call Hollywood called it totally fine,
I'm just telling you the great storytelling, but it really
is a one way door. That doesn't mean that you
don't have access to spirits the minute they pass, but
(19:28):
usually they are occupied with the process that happens for them,
the reunion as well as the recovery and the healing
that happens. So it doesn't mean that singing their name,
we're telling those stories, saying those prayers, with holding the
vision of that your loved when in your heart as
you're doing that won't support their transition because those are
all very high vibe activities and when someone's thinking about
(19:53):
you and holding the best of you in their heart,
that impacts you in a positive way, and it's the
same one they're in the spirit world. So that's what
I would offer people to do. What I would add
is more intimate advice. So if you're working with someone
and you have a loved one that might be in
the hospital or might be at home and they are
(20:13):
in the process of transitioning over, what I can tell
you is even if you don't think they can hear you,
they can. And any time if you're going to fight
with a sibling in front of a parent that is transitioning,
don't that does not help them in the process. You know,
it just doesn't. And I think one of the things
that you've always told me, and I think you actually
(20:33):
might have mentioned it on a past episode, which is,
you know, let them know they can go. Give them permission. Yeah,
give them permission. I think that helps them transition well.
And certainly, you know, clean up your side of the
street with them. Yeah, that's another thing that we've talked about,
you knowin you've told stories about people kind of cleaning
up that side of their street. And I think, again,
(20:54):
that helps not only them, but it helps you as well.
And I will just add a very wick story and
it was and it's about you brand. It was so fascinating.
I remember the last time that I actually saw my
mother alive. I mean when I say alive, I mean
she was still, things were functioning. I held her hand
and I was, of course sobbing, and in my head,
(21:16):
I didn't even say it out loud. In my head,
I said, be nice to dad. Have no earthly idea
Why the hell I said that? I really don't. It
wasn't like it was premeditated. It just came out, was
being nice to dad. And they had been divorced since
I was five years old. So this was thirty five
years later, thirty six years later. When I had said
that when we first met and you were connecting with
(21:39):
Mona for Susanne and Reuben and Jimmy and I, you know,
my mom shows up and when the first things that
she said to you, through you to me was I
was nice to your father. I because Susan didn't even know,
I said that it was just me, that is it.
And I about fell on the floor, mainly because wait,
how did she know? I mean, that's what? Wait, how
(22:02):
does she know that? So when I say to to
everyone that they know what you say, they not only know,
they know what you think. So when you want someone
to transition, it's like, stay in that place of love,
you know, don't go fight and argue with everybody because
that energy is not going to help anybody in the situation.
So that's my two cents, and it's so beautiful, so helpful.
(22:23):
And remember when you are in those incredibly vulnerable, highly
activated emotional states, anything can trigger you. But you have
a choice. You can engage and fight with the people
in the earth plane who are going to be here while,
which you can settle that later, or you can stay
focused on the purpose that you're gathered, which is to
(22:44):
help someone transition, and take the time to do the
inventory that says, what do I want to thank this
person for, how is my life different because of them,
and how do I want to honor them in this
exact few moments I have left, and then activate that.
I mean, that's the biggest thing. When my beloved family
gathered when his mom was transitioning, I suggested that they
(23:07):
sing her out because she loved music. She loved to
play piano, she loved to hear music. She went to
every concert for one of her daughters as a conductor
in schools, and she went to every concert that she had.
I mean, it was really beautiful. They just loved music,
and so they literally sang when the Saints come marching
(23:29):
in as she took her left breath. It was actually
they so everyone around and and my suggestion into them
was absolutely to honor their mom, but to help the
siblings unify, because when you sing together, you are unified
vibration Lee, and to help the siblings unify from a
vibrational standpoint, to let mom know it's okay, to let go,
(23:51):
look at your babies are fine. And so I love
that they were like Banana Rama. They were a band.
If anybody were members Banana Rama, please tell us on Instagram,
because I'm not sure everybody remembers Banana Rama. I don't
know where that came from. Insanity. And but again, the
(24:12):
high vibration, the unification of the siblings, them all coming together,
and they were really supportive of each other anyhow, but
just to get the unification to help this verifying their way.
So these are all really great remembrances of how to
take care of your own vibration while showing up at
the best highest vibe to support the loved one who's
(24:33):
getting ready to go through that sacred threshold. That's beautiful.
Do we have time for one more question? We got
time for one more. I'm going to pick out my
favorite one. Since I'm asking questions that gives me the
power of favorites, because I do love this next question.
I do love this next question so much, which is
when you were thinking of someone and they call or
(24:55):
you run into them, what's going on? That happens to
me all the time, and I love it so hit us, Brenda,
tell us why it tell us what's going on is
that this is the you like to call out the
sender receiver, right, the sender receiver addictivation, and it's really
operating on the etheric level of the first layer of
(25:16):
the energy field. So it's a slightly grid and think
of it as things get pinned across this grid. It
just happens in this way. And when you're lining up
and I'm always talking about going to meditation and have
a soft focus. When you have that soft focus kind
of running all the time in the background, you pick
up on those etheric pings. It's like you get text
(25:37):
messages from the universe on the etheric level. And so
it's so fun because it's such great confirmation. Hey, I'm
dialed in I'm paying attention. Yeah, I got that one.
It's really fun and it's a great remembrance in a
really busy, overcommitted, fast moving world like oh, that's right
that what Earth is magical? I forget that. Or school
(26:00):
is magical, I forget that, And it's it's wonderful remembrances
to pay attention because there's so much there for us.
My experience is oftentimes not only like hey, I'm thinking
about you, or else, send someone a text that says,
you hit my radar screen today. That's usually my my tailine,
you hit my radar screen. For people who don't know
the Earth world is magical, like how did you know?
(26:21):
Just a lucky guess. And so this is such a
fun way to play with the universe. And every time
you activate on that, or you'll text someone and say, hey,
what are you doing today? Or I'm thinking about you today?
What's going on? Even if you haven't heard from them
in a year or something, it's and you get confirmation back,
I was just looking at this picture that we did
we took when we were together two years ago or whatever.
(26:42):
You know, you get that confirmation. It's like a muscle,
it's like a spiritual muscle you're building that gets stronger
and stronger. So it's this great feedback system that when
you dial in you get so much more back, so
the next one will be that much stronger, and on
it goes. That one, I have to say, is one
of my most favorite things that I experience. Hands. It's fun.
It is. It is like a joy. It's like you know,
(27:04):
whether it is I'm thinking of someone and then there
they are, or it works vice versa, of course. And
what I really love is wherever I am driving, sitting,
whatever it may be, and I kind of get this
this hit right because I call it a hit and
kind of like a song, it's a hit that I
(27:25):
might I've you know, I've had times I've been like,
I need to check my email because I think I
have something in there that I need to see right now,
and lo and behold, I do, and sometimes I know
who it's from. Like there have been times when I
have said to Suzanne, I go, I bet I have
an email from so and so, and she's like what
I said, Yeah, we're just kind of testing my little
psychic muscles, baby, and I go in there and there's
something from a person who I have not heard from
(27:47):
in a while. So it is truly one of my
most fun things. And it's also such a fun way to,
you know, reconnect with people. So when you know, if
I'm getting kind of a hit on someone and they're
not reaching out to me, I'll like how you said,
I'll reach out to them and like, oh my god,
I was thinking about you. She's just it's just joy. Yes,
it is absolute joy. So I will tell our listener
(28:10):
Becca that she needs to be checking her text and
her voicemail and her email more often because it sounds oh,
it sounds like she's probably tuned into it, but otherwise
she wouldn't ask that question. Trusted trust it. Yeah, I
have this little party dance with yourself because it's so fun.
And remember that Earth school is hard. When you forget
that the world is actually magic, when you forget that
(28:32):
you are connected to the other side, when you make
space for it, the world gets so much easier and
so much more fun. That's why I like wizards. Wizards
in ganesh. There you go and go man. Thanks so
much to all our listeners for sending in these great questions.
We love hearing from you. Thanks everybody keeping coming. Come fine.
