Speaker 1 (00:18):
Hello, and welcome to Psychic Teachers. I'm your host Samantha Fay,
and I'm Dead Bowen and we're just so delighted to
have you here for our monthly cut and a show.
And boy do we have some fantastic questions and some
really great stories too. Do you want to start us off?
Speaker 2 (00:35):
I'm happy too. Our first question says today, I was
in one of my favorite local stores. It's a mixture
of antiques from around the world. As I was shopping,
I noticed some beautiful, large geodes that weighed about fifteen
to twenty pounds and were priced way too low. I
was instantly drawn to one. I thought, well, I should
(00:58):
touch it and see if it speaks to me. I
put both hands on the outside of the geode and
I felt a sharp, quick ouch. I pulled my hands
back and noticed that my thumb was bleeding. I thought
to myself, is this a sign not to bring it home?
I looked for a tissue in my purses. I was
really starting to bleed. No luck. After ten minutes of
(01:21):
walking around the store, I stopped the owner and asked
her if she had a rest room so I could
wash my hand and grab a paper towel. She was
beside herself that I injured myself. I cleaned up and
got a band aid from her. She asked me if
I was still interested in the stone, and that it
was price wrong, but she would honor the price it
(01:42):
was marked. Needless to say, that was my sign to
purchase my assist to light. Cynthia will have to help
me with the pronounce to light. Thank you, Geode. Although
we had a rocky start, that's a fun fun I
feel it was meant to be. I would like to
know your thoughts please. Well, you know my initial reaction was, boy,
(02:07):
the universe went out of its way to get its
attention for you to get this rock.
Speaker 1 (02:11):
Is I thant the truth, even for the price you
wanted exactly.
Speaker 2 (02:16):
So, I don't recommend that everybody go around injuring themselves
on rocks and stores, but I really would say that indeed,
this was a wake up call to you that this
stone was meant for you. So what a great thing
to happen.
Speaker 1 (02:30):
Yeah, I agree. I've had that happen to me, a
stone scratching me. I've had that with clear courts, and
I've had that with the edge of a cayanite blade.
So I think it's kind of common, but what a
wonderful way for a stone to be like, hello, you
need to take me home. And as as too light,
that's a super high vibing courtz and it's known to
(02:51):
help with spiritual awakening, connecting to higher realms, really popping
open your intuition. And if that stone is going to
get your attention that way, woo wait till you start
meditating with it. Right.
Speaker 3 (03:05):
Absolutely, Our next question is a great one in regard
to learning how to trust our intuition and really hold
on to our inner knowing even when everything.
Speaker 1 (03:17):
Is telling us nope. So our listener begins. I've been
on an emotional and spiritual fertility journey. Recently, I was
taking fertility medication to stimulate ovulation. Naturally, this made twins
a real possibility. But more than that, I felt surrounded
by what I believe were clear signs from the universe
confirming that twin souls were coming to me. I specifically
(03:40):
asked for signs. One day, I asked the universe to
show me daisies if I was pregnant with twins, and
I immediately saw a woman walk by in the hospital
wearing clothing completely covered in daisies. I then asked for
a rainbow as confirmation, and soon after I received it.
The number I felt symbolized twins for me was seventy seven,
(04:01):
and I began seeing it everywhere on receipts, license plates, clocks,
random post at least twenty times a day. Everything in
my body and spirit said this was happening. I even
had dreams of twins, including one where I saw a
boy and a girl. My hCG was doubling rapidly. I
truly believed I was receiving messages from the universe, from
(04:23):
spirit babies, or both.
Speaker 2 (04:25):
But when I went for.
Speaker 1 (04:26):
My scan, only one sack was visible. This has left
me confused and honestly heartbroken.
Speaker 2 (04:33):
Why would I receive.
Speaker 1 (04:34):
So many repeated, specific, even immediate signs if they weren't true?
Did I misinterpret the signs? Did the outcome somehow change?
Were the signs meant for a different message altogether? I
now find myself second guessing my intuition and wondering whether
I can trust the signs I receive at all. I'm
hoping you might be able to share some spiritual insight
(04:57):
why this might happen, how to make peace with signs
that don't manifest, and what to do when our soul
believes something that doesn't come to pass. Okay, So that
was the first email we received from this listener, and
then ten days later she emailed us an update. She writes,
I just went for my six week scan and there
(05:18):
is another baby. I can't believe it. I am over
the moon. Isn't that wonderful?
Speaker 2 (05:24):
Indeed? It is wow.
Speaker 1 (05:27):
That reminds me of so many emails we've gotten through
the years from listeners who are like, I asked for
a sign, I received all the confirmation, nothing happened. I
wonder if there are ever follow ups and they just
forget to email us, Like maybe they ask for a
sign that things are going to change for them, or
they were going to get that job, or you know,
they were supposed to leave that relationship and it didn't
(05:48):
really come to pass for another ten weeks or ten
months or a year. That's the thing with intuition is timing.
Speaker 2 (05:55):
And I think that's one of the biggest things that
wait for get is that universal time and our very
earthly right this minute time are very different sometimes, and
that's hard for us to remember sometimes when we feel
like we've gotten, as this woman certainly did, very clear,
(06:16):
consistent messages that this was happening. It came at the
time that it was supposed to, and we have to
learn to trust that universal time rather than our own time,
and we have to be patient sometimes, which I know
is also really very hard. And then sometimes things happen
(06:37):
that to derail the trainers, my grandma would say. And
they occur because there has been a shift in some
kind of energy that said thought everything was gotten in
this direction, and then this unexpected thing came into being here,
and now we realize that the direction has to shift
(06:58):
and the time is not now, so we just don't know.
But I think learning to trust that is such a
great lesson and so hard to do.
Speaker 1 (07:07):
Yes, but what a wonderful update. Thank you so much
for sending that update in and congratulations. We're so happy
for you.
Speaker 2 (07:16):
Absolutely all right. Our next one says about seven years ago,
when I was forty two, I had an experience I
can't explain. I was visiting my best friend at her
seasonal campground. She was inside the camper and I was
outside helping her son start a bonfire. It was dark,
but not really late. I remember exactly this. I was
(07:40):
bending down at the fire, and in my head, specifically
in my left ear, out of nowhere, I heard a
male voice say, you are going to be going through
some rough times, but it will get better. The voice
was so real to me. There was no mistake about
what I heard, very clearly. I don't think I told
(08:02):
anyone what happened that night, but I certainly thought about.
The night went on and we all went to sleep.
I woke up the next day to a very disturbing
message from my husband. He was irate about something that
our oldest daughter had done. My marriage was not in
the best shape at that time. Things were starting to
(08:23):
fall apart. Anyway, from that first phone call that morning,
my life went upside down. Everything I knew changed, I
fell apart, I burned out. Events kept happening, leading to
my marriage ending, my three children at war, my entire
world turned into knots that I had no control over.
(08:44):
Almost daily, especially lately, I think about that voice, that
warning I received right before it all started. I need
to figure out how, why, who it was. I want
to know more. Slowly getting better, but there is still
a lot of work to do. Well. First of all,
(09:07):
I need to say, you are certainly not alone. There.
There have been people I know who have been through
this kind of cataclysmic shift in their lives with relationships
and their world really changing shape and falling apart. And
I'm sorry this has happened to you. But one of
(09:30):
the things that we forget is that sometimes our guides
literally talk to us. They literally whisper in our ears,
and that's a clear audience skill. And that's my sense,
that's my feeling as to what happened to you, was
that you have a guide who just really needed to
get a warning, a message to you, and literally you
(09:53):
heard it in your left ear, which and the left
side of our body is the receptive side of our body.
That's where information like that comes from. This was a
huge gift to you from your guide. And it doesn't
happen all the time. It doesn't happen frequently for most
of us. It happens when it's really needed, and we
can't even we don't control that either. Although when we
(10:15):
sit and just are still and listen, other than a
traumatic situation like this, that is when our guides most
often speak to us and we hear it clear audiently.
When we see something clairvoyantly. We just have a knowing,
clear sentience that gives us information and connection. But the
(10:37):
way that that happens most frequently is when we are
still and we really pay attention to those messages from
our guides. So I think that's what happened with you.
Speaker 1 (10:48):
Yeah, I agree, and I'm really sorry that you're going
through this, that you've been through this. I've been through
those cataclysmic events myself, and I've had warnings like that,
and ironically, the warnings always comforted me, you know, because
it was like, Okay, this is a sign that this
is a part of my sole plan, that it was
(11:09):
meant to happen, that we were meant to have this
marriage end, and your whole world turn upside down and
feel like you're not in control of it. It's all
part of the plan and you can never see it
when you're in it. But when you start to climb
out of it and you look back, you think, oh, wow,
that really did help me. I really did grow, I
really did transform and shift and become stronger, and it
(11:31):
helped me heal, and it helped me set boundaries, and
it helped me understand myself and speak up for myself,
and so I feel like your guide was just trying
to warn you that this is what is coming, but
also to remind you that because he saw it coming,
it means he's always there. He always has your back,
and so just know that this too shall pass.
Speaker 2 (11:53):
Okay.
Speaker 1 (11:53):
Our next question is really shifting gears. You're ready to have,
but it's a little spooky.
Speaker 2 (11:58):
Okay, all right?
Speaker 1 (12:00):
This listitter writes, I wanted to add something to your
recent podcast where you mentioned the Annabel Doll. We live
in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, forty five minutes from Gettysburg, where she
came on tour. My niece texted to tell me about
the paranormal investigator dying and how she thought it was weird.
Right then a nine to eleven call went out across
our state at the same time, and she said, what
(12:22):
if Annabel did that? Then this guy on YouTube called
Tyler from Tyler's Tuoe, who I listened to, loves horror things.
So I commented on his page about the weird things
happening with this tour. I put my phone down, started
to make my bed and saw that another nine oh
one one alert had gone off on my phone. I
just thought it was weird, and here I am writing
(12:44):
about it again. I'll let you know if the alert
goes out one more time. By the way, great show,
I love it all right. That is weird and there's
just some spooky stuff around with Annabell. Dev texted me
a couple of weeks ago about the comedian me Rife
and his friend buying the Eda Lorraine Warren House houses
(13:05):
the museum where Annabel normally lives, and I just thought,
what is going on with this whole story?
Speaker 2 (13:12):
You know, I don't even want to talk about this.
I think I read stumpware so that those guys were
going to take her. How did that glass case? I
think I read that. Do not quote me. That maybe
absolutely wrong. That may just to then be thinking, oh lord,
please don't do that. I don't know, I can't talk. Gosh.
Speaker 1 (13:31):
Can you imagine if Matt takes it on tour and
like doesn't tell me, okay, no, not put that out there.
Speaker 2 (13:37):
No, do not, no, do not. I can't no la
la la la la la lah.
Speaker 1 (13:42):
Well, while we're talking about spooky stuff, I did want
to let everyone know that I am avidly researching and
preparing a month of spooky shows for October, and Deb
has grudgingly allowed me to announce this. Instead of doing
a Q and A for October or I would like
to do spooky stories from all of you. So if
(14:05):
you have ever seen a ghost, or had a spooky
thing happen to you, or had just a weird experience,
nothing really scary and out there, because we don't want
dev to just totally walk away from the show, but
just you know, spooky ghost stories, campfire type stories. Email
them to as psychic Teachers at gmail dot com and
I will put together a spooky listener story and Deb
(14:28):
maybe you'll come on and help us share them.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Well again, let me say something about that, Samantha. Let
me clarify the dead position on this. I have spent
many a night with ghosts. I have seen ghosts in
many ways, in many forms, heard them. Folks on the
other side connect with me a lot. That's wonderful. I'm
happy to hear from them most of the time. That's fine.
(14:54):
That's not what scares me, Samantha. That's spooky. Ghosty things
don't se gare me. What scares me is that other stuff.
That d word stuff are things that have legends and
tales with them. That are harmful in some ways to people.
That's the stuff that I don't want to talk about. Yeah,
(15:17):
that's the stuff. In fact, I published a story last year,
maybe in early October, about a ghost with whom I
lived for nine years and was very that bid to
live with her. She was delightful.
Speaker 1 (15:31):
I'm always surprised by your reaction because, first of all,
I'm the Catholic on the show. I'm the one who
should be afraid of the D word. You are the
everything's great and groovy and wonderful, and you should not
be afraid of that. You should feel like our consciousness
is beyond the scary demonic stuff, and.
Speaker 2 (15:51):
Clearly it is not, or we would not have any
television shows about it and all that kind of stuff,
really would who.
Speaker 1 (15:58):
We would go to people's hopes and help crossover their ghost,
and deb would go step closer, step closer, talk into
the recorder, and I would be like, no, no, no, just
cross over into the light, don't come any closer.
Speaker 2 (16:10):
I was perfectly happy for them to come closer. You
know that. That's fine. Those are people that just may
need help. That's okay. Those folks are okay. But when
you get into things like the movie and the book
with the split piecet sup flying all over the place
and turning heads and all that mess. I don't have
anything to do with that.
Speaker 1 (16:30):
Okay, so PG spooky ghost Stories email us Psychic Teachers
at gmail dot com.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
Deal. Samantha will vet them, I will vet them. I
will read that.
Speaker 1 (16:40):
Okay, let's take a really quick break and we'll be
right back with some more great questions.
Speaker 2 (16:48):

And if you really want to help support the show,
don't forget to share an episode with a friend or
leave us a review wherever you listen. Thanks so much, guys,
(17:30):
Welcome back deb Do you want to share our next one?
Speaker 2 (17:32):
I'm happy too. This one says my husband has been
going through a very hard time with anxiety and overcoming
some personal trauma. It's been hard on us, but we're
committed to working on his mental health and I want
to be there support and best I can. I pulled
some cards the other day with the question what can
I do to help my husband during this time? I
(17:54):
did a three card pull and got three major archonic
cardst it this as there is something I can do,
but ultimately my husband has to do the hard work
himself during his dark night of the soul. Let me
talk about this question because it's really a good one.
For one thing, how wonderful that you know that you
(18:21):
can support him. There are things that you can do
to be of help to him, but you can't do
the work for him, and that's really important to know. Really,
you answered your own question in your last sentence here.
You said, I interpreted the reading as there are some
things that I can do, but ultimately my husband has
to do the hard work. And that's absolutely true. It's
(18:44):
virtually impossible to have someone send you me for example,
and this happens a lot send me a reading and
say what does this reading mean? And the reason that
that's hard to do is one, I don't know what
deck you're you see, so I don't know what symbols
are on the keys that you're looking at. I don't
(19:05):
know what those particular keys and those symbols mean to you,
perhaps how you see them in terms of universality or
arch types. So it's really difficult to answer a question
like these are the cards I pulled? What does this mean?
I can't do that? And I don't really think that's
really what this person was saying about her husband. I
(19:26):
think it was really am I on the right track
here in that I can be supportive, but it's really
his work to do. And I applaud you for knowing that.
I certainly hope that things get better for your husband.
Speaker 1 (19:39):
I like the way she frees the question, what to
do I do to help my husband during this time?
Speaker 2 (19:45):
That's absolutely because that's one of the things I say
a zillion times in all of my classes, is you
can't read for someone else. It's not okay, it's not
their present and agreeable for this, but it's really about
what you can do. Is she did a good job
with that, sure what she did? Okay?
Speaker 1 (20:04):
Our next one says, I feel like I've been on
the grind for the last ten months and was running
myself ragged. I practice reiki, mediumship, and oracle card readings,
but I have felt it wasn't making time for my
spiritual wellness. I know I need to connect in order
to feel calm and collected daily, and I honestly just
miss it. One thing I've always loved in my journey
(20:27):
is crystals and crystal shops. However, I don't always have
time to get to these beautiful shops. Can you please
recommend any credible online shops or sellers? Do you recommendations
on crystals that are good for reconnection to spirit and focus? Also,
are there any crystal oracle decks that you recommend? Adore
you both? Okay? Well, First of all, I think we
(20:48):
can all resonate with that. There are just those busy
times in our life where we feel disconnected from our practice,
and if crystals are calling out to you, that is
one of the best ways to reconnect with your and
to just remember to have fun and have a playful
and yet respectful attitude towards this world of spirituality. That
(21:08):
we're all living in and crystals can really help us
do that. We always recommend Exquisite Crystals dot com. It's
one of the most credible online shops we know of.
There are several other great resources out there. In terms
of crystal oracle decks, I have not really found one
that I absolutely love. I have several, but they tend
(21:31):
to either just tell you about the crystal or just
use the crystal in the background and then have an affirmation.
I'll let you know if I find one that really
resonates with me. In terms of crystals that are great
for reconnecting to spirit, obviously there are a lot, but
I think that what you should do is ask yourself,
(21:53):
ask your higher self, ask your guides to direct you
to the right crystal that's going to help you reconnect
with your unique journey. I have found some of my
best crystal friends by doing just that, and you might
be surprised at what crystal you are led to. So
(22:13):
I could say to you, oh, you know, Aurora courts
is great for that, or lipidolite or lamurion or all
sorts of other crystals. But I really think that what
you should do is focus on meditating and sending out
that request to find your crystal ally in this moment
(22:34):
on your spiritual path. That's going to help you feel
more energized, renewed, and also one that's going to help
you focus on self love and care so you can
really make time for yourself. As you mentioned in your email.
Speaker 2 (22:47):
But I want to add something to that because she's
absolutely right, and thank you for pointing out how sometimes
we just don't make the time for our spiritual wellness.
I love that phrase, and we just get disconnected. And
when I'm in that place, one of the things that
will come to me, when I just finally do sit
(23:07):
down and slow down for a minute and take a
deep breath, is the idea that what I need to
do is clean, physically clean my rocks. And I have
a lot of rocks. I don't have this Vidyasaman but
or Joel, but I got a lot. And so one
of the things that I do for all those that
can be put in running water in some way, I
(23:27):
hold them in my hands under running water, and then
each one of them gets placed on a towel to dry,
and I spend just a minute with them. And as
I'm fleaning all these stones and setting them out to dry.
Clarity comes, and somehow or another along the way, I realize,
oh gee, what I really need to work with here
(23:50):
is smokey quartz. That's the one that's calling me right
this minute, and I've learned to trust that. So to
spend time with every single rock in my collection, let
it sit in the sun and let it speak to me,
and to really pay attention to it and to say
thank you for the work it does, is one of
the ways that helps me to find that crystal time
(24:13):
and energy and connection.
Speaker 1 (24:15):
That's a great suggestion.
Speaker 2 (24:16):
I love it. Okay. Our next one says, this year,
I have really been active in learning and applying knowledge
and spiritual ways. I've been meditating on a regular basis,
studying different religions to row in crystals, and I'm very
excited to be visiting some yan ruins next year. Good
for you. Now, my question comes from a complete change
(24:39):
in how something is affecting me in the recent months.
For many years, I have loved true crime documentaries, but
recently I felt like it was feeding me negative energy,
so I stopped watching them. Last night, I started watching
The Dead Files, a show about a medium and a
detective separately investigating different paranormal places. I got that same
(25:05):
uneasy feeling again. Do you think I'm just thinking in
a different way now that I've been opening up my
third eye at intuition, or do you think I'm actually
picking up energy from these events? It is so bizarre
because these kinds of things have never bothered me in
the past. Well now, so if you listen to our
(25:28):
discussion a little bit ago about ghosts and how deb
feels about this stuff, I will just tell you that
my perspective is you don't need this stuff in your life.
It may be interesting, Samantha loves you know, at whatever,
But if you have come to a point where you
know that this kind of energy is not for you
(25:49):
as you are where you are in your spiritual journey,
and you said no to it, and when you tried
it again, it got reinforced with no, this is not
for you, I'd listen to that if I were you.
Speaker 1 (26:02):
I agree, And I think this is a sign that
her intuition is really opening up, because I've noticed that
when my intuition was really popping open in my late
twenties early thirties, everything about me got more sensitive. My
sense of smell was heightened, my sense of hearing was heightened,
my peripheral vision was heightened. But I also got really
(26:25):
in touch with my emotions, and so I think this
is just a sign that you're really working your spiritual
path and it's increasing your sensitivity, and you might be
able to come back to true crime, and you might not.
You might feel like, yeah, I don't need that negativity
in my life, and that's a great thing I think
for me, just being raised with a narcissist, I'm just
(26:47):
fascinated by people who do mean things. The way I
understand anything in my life is by studying it. So
that's why I'm always fascinated by true crime and evil,
nasty people, because I'm trying to understand. But I always
have to temper that. So I will watch Dateline or
(27:07):
listen to it on my podcast every Tuesday, But then
I have to listen to a happy, upbeat, positive or
some lovely healing music or read one of my spiritual books.
I have to balance it. But if it's not resonating
for you, just don't watch it. I completely agree.
Speaker 2 (27:22):
With deb Okay.
Speaker 1 (27:25):
Our next one says, I recently had a baby. She
was born on April sixth and has lit up my
world in the most beautiful ways. Since becoming a mom,
my priorities have shifted and I operate very differently day
to day. I used to have daily practices such as
to row crystal, work, cleansing with sage and incense, but
(27:45):
now I literally don't have the time to do those things.
I wouldn't trade being a mom for anything in the world,
but I do feel I need to reconnect with my
spiritual side. My question for the two of you is
how can I incorporate small, all acts daily to keep
my spiritual health high, Little things here and there that
are possible for a mom of a four month old
(28:07):
to do quickly. I know I will get back to
my practices eventually and raise a wonderfully magical baby, but
until then I need some help. Okay, I completely resonate
with that. I know what that's like. I know that
shift and getting used to that complete change in your
life with having babies and being a new mom can do.
(28:28):
But you're right, you do still have to connect with
yourself and figure out how you can incorporate this. I
would recommend that you stack up some books that you
really enjoy reading. That connect you to your spiritual paths,
or fill up your phone with some podcasts that do
the same. And when you're nursing your baby or when
your baby is napping, use that time. And it could
(28:51):
just be twice a week. Maybe you don't do it
every day, but try to work that in and wrap
it around your baby's schedule. So at four months old,
I'm assuming she's still napping fairly frequently, and obviously you're
going to use some of those times just to bathe
and brush your teeth and put the dishes in the dishwasher.
(29:13):
But the other nap times, even if it's like a
twenty minute nap, you can use to really connect with
yourself when you're pushing your baby in the stroller, leave
the air pods at home, and just go for a
walk in nature with your baby, and use that time
to talk to yourself, to talk to your guides, to
work on prayer. There are ways that you can incorporate
(29:35):
yourself and your child into this new way of being
and interacting with the world. And it's going to take
a while to figure out who you are now as
a mother. Deb In your practiced you all talk about
maiden mother crone because they are three distinct chapters in
(29:55):
our life where we completely change and shift, and that
can be applied to really any faith. It doesn't have
to be the Pagan faith. All of us as women
go through those major major changes, and we have to
give ourselves grace when we're going through those times. And
so if you're not feeling connected to your daily practices,
that's okay. Then you're right. It will come back to you.
(30:18):
But for now, lean on those walks, lean on those
nap times to connect with yourself.
Speaker 2 (30:24):
Those are all great suggestions, Samantha, and I want to
add one. Dr Ramoto, who wrote Hidden Messages in Water,
said that in his research he learned that the most
important words that we can say are thank you. To
offer up gratitude as you are stretching and getting out
(30:45):
of bed. And I do this every day. As my
fate touched the floor, I say thank you, and at
night when I climb into bed, I say thank you again.
And that is a routine. It is a ritual. It
is a way of honoring the fact that I am
here one more day and I have another chance to
get it right. As Steve Earl wrote in his Beautiful
(31:07):
Song and It's just a reminder that there's so much
that we can do to connect with spirit, even when
we're swamped with baby care and house cleaning and all
that sort of stuff. So just those two words will
help shift the way you have a perspective on your
connection to spirit. I believeely. Okay. The next one says,
(31:31):
I had an entire toroe reading of reversals. I wonder
if there's any significance to this. I had a question
about guidance from some emotional healing, and some of the
cards made sense in their reverse positions, but all of
them intuitively, I thought I was pushing too hard against
what it means to me, ultimately forcing the energy instead
(31:52):
of flowing with it. But I'm also curious as this
has ever happened to you, and any insights are appreciated.
Thanks for being bright shining lights to help guide us.
When I read this email initially, Samantha, when it came in,
my first thought, and I do not mean this sarcastically
in any way. I mean this seriously. Are your cards
(32:12):
really well shuffled? And here's what happens, Particularly if you
have a new deck that's really hard to shuffle. It's
really difficult to get them to shuffle around, however they're
supposed to be reversed or right side up. I suggest
to folks with new decks that they stand in a
room and throw the cards up in the air and
(32:34):
let them come down. However they come down and pick
them up. However they pick them up. Often I am
asked by my students with the deck that I work
with all the time if I ever resort them so
they're all right side up, and I am horror struck
at the idea of doing that. I trust to Row
to do what it's going to do. But in terms
of your question about significance, I would say this, Samantha
(32:57):
and I had very different perspectives, and in fact, we
recently had a conversation with a really well known to
ROW practitioner who doesn't work with reversals at all. So
some folks don't I do. But here's what I invite
you to think about. Reversals don't mean necessarily the opposite
(33:19):
of what the card means right side up. There are
really three different ways in which we approach the meaning
of reversals. One is exactly that that it is an
opposite meaning of the key right side up. That's one option.
Another option is that some keys when reversed, mean degrees
(33:39):
of difference from the card when it's right side up
more than less than whatever the card means. And then
the third possibility is that reversals have nothing to do
with what the card means right side up, and it's
an entirely different meaning altogether. It says if it were
a different card. But reversals are not necessarily bad. They
really are just a different way of looking at information
(34:03):
that's being given to you. And again, I wonder if
this person also really has answered their own question when
they wrote intuitively, I thought, maybe I am pushing too
hard against what is meant for me, ultimately forcing energy
instead of flowing with it. If that's what your intuition
(34:26):
is telling you, regardless of what the cards say, I
would certainly sit with that and think about whether or
not that's really what you're doing here. You might want
to change your direction a little bit.
Speaker 1 (34:40):
Good advice. I think what I would have done if
this happened to me is shuffle the cards a lot,
knock out the energy. Maybe I would have smudged them,
and then I would have reshuffled me too, And see
what it says from there.
Speaker 2 (34:58):
Right, I would have done exactly what you do. WHOA,
I've done something wrong with shuffling these things. Let's mix
these things up and start this again. Okay.
Speaker 1 (35:06):
Our next one says, I have not been sure if
I should write this email because this year has been
so up and down. It feels like every time something
good happens, it's followed by something equally bad or stressful.
This spring is a perfect example. My mother fell in
a parking lot and broke her tailbone. That led to
her ending up with a wicked uti that resulted in
(35:27):
her having to be hospitalized and then a rehab center
three months of stress and fear. In the middle of this,
I got an opportunity to interview for a job I
really wanted. I did all the right things with manifesting
and meditating. Long story short, didn't get the job. The
same thing was happening with my mom at this time.
Every time it seemed like she was getting better, there
(35:49):
was a roadblock. I can look back on the job
opportunity and see that sometimes rejection is protection, but it
hurts so bad not getting that job. Around the time
my mom was released from the rehab center, I went
for my first mammogram and didn't give it another thought.
Then a week later, I got a call that I
needed a follow up manogram because something had been detected.
(36:10):
I sat there after hanging up the phone and just
felt deep into self pity and feeling like I just
can't take it anymore. I was at my breaking point.
What if I have breast cancer? Who would take care
of my mother? She was going to have surgery and
her tailbone and would need help moving. What if I
couldn't help her with that? My mind was reeling, and
I felt so disconnected from my guides and saints and
(36:31):
ancestors that I had been asking for help to get
through all these times. Everything felt backwards. I just surrendered
to the pity party and embraced the horrible moment I
was in. Before I went in for the biopsy, I
stopped at a restaurant for lunch. As I was sitting there,
I heard a voice in my head tell me this
part of your life is over. Don't worry, And despite
(36:56):
feeling so disconnected from my spirits, I accepted it. I
worried and didn't feel stressed. I felt instant comfort and relief.
That afternoon, I was stripped down from the waist up
and basically tilted sideways so the radiologists could reach the
lesions he wanted to biopsy. I heard him say that
from this angle he could see the legions were actually
(37:17):
skin freckles or moles. No biopsy was needed. I wasn't
sure if I heard him right, and I was stuck
in the mammogram machines, so it wasn't like I could
get up and ask lo and behold, I heard it right.
I didn't need a biopsy. I got to go home.
I kept thinking, I've gotten a miracle. I said thank
you to all the saints, guides, angels, and ancestors I
(37:38):
had stopped talking to because of that feeling of disconnection.
I am so thankful for that miracle. It still feels
like this is a challenging year, and I'm not sure why.
I understand others have it worse, but this year feels hard.
I am grateful for the blessing I got and feel
like I need to pass this on because I know
others are having hard times too. I kept thinking and
(38:00):
feeling that this too shall pass. Sorry for the long email.
Love the show in the community you have created. Well,
don't apologize for the long email, because that's a really
good story that I think a lot of listeners can
resonate with. Because some years are beautiful and amazing and wonderful,
and some years are hard and shitty and awful, and
some years are a mixture of both, and that's just
(38:22):
part of being a human on this planet. I really
like that you allowed yourself to have that pity party.
I think that's important. You felt that you were at
your breaking point and you just surrendered to it and
just let yourself cry and rage and rail and whatever
else you had to do. That is so important, and
that moment of surrender is probably what allowed you to
(38:44):
have that beautiful connection in the car before your biopsy
of hearing like this is over, do not worry. So
I think you got a sign that this crazy up
and down year it's behind you. And you probably won't
understand why you had to go through that. Maybe you
never will until you get to the other side. But
what you have learned is that everything does pass, the good,
(39:06):
the bad, and the ugly. But through it all you
maintained Even if you say you didn't, you clearly did
maintain a connection to your saint's guide's angels and ancestors,
and you need to put yourself on the back for that.
And as deb was saying before, keep on saying thank
you and showing your beautiful gratitude to your team, but
I hope also to yourself, because you're clearly a beautiful soul,
(39:29):
a wonderful daughter, and you're doing great, great, wonderful work.
Speaker 2 (39:34):
How lovely thank you for that email. Our next one says.
In March twenty twenty four, my boyfriend and I went
to a breath work and cold blune workshop. It was
our second time with the same coaches. The agenda was similar,
theory exercises, practicing endurance to cold water breath work, and
(39:54):
finally a full blune into cold water. I was expecting
to have a similar fun experience. Then came the breath
work with background soft music, and I just lost it.
I started shaking, crying, sobbing uncontrollably. It was intense. My
boyfriend took my hand for a long minute. I was unconsolable.
(40:17):
I eventually calmed down. The rest of the day went
on and was uneventful, but I was shaken to my
core and I couldn't explain what I felt. Then a
couple of days later, I experienced symptoms that I haven't
felt in a very long time came up, which caused
me to take a pregnancy test. It was positive. When
(40:40):
I announced it to my boyfriend, we were both in Shark.
I went for an ultrasound and it confirmed a six
weeks pregnancy. I saw the part beat. I couldn't believe
my eyes. We talked we could not imagine ourselves having
a baby at this point in our lives. I was
forty seven, our respective children are adults, and we are
(41:03):
not getting any younger. We both spoke to the baby
and told him we loved him. We thanked him and
said he was welcome in any other form in our lives.
That same night, I had a miscarriage. It was painful,
but also so peaceful and beautiful. I bought a crystal
(41:24):
angel that I keep near me as a symbol of
his passage. Since then, my life has changed drastically. I
completely lost interest in the work I was doing for
more than twenty years as a construction manager. I felt
pulled to a new path. I took on Doullah and
herbalist studies. I am still working out how to deal
(41:46):
with this new me the shift is painful and beautiful
at the same time, like a birth, like a new language.
I am learning why. Okay, so I'm trying not to cry.
I have to say that, probably more than any email
we've gotten in a very long time, sumit, This email
(42:09):
says to me to remember that there is certainly something
way bigger than me in the universe that knows more,
way more than I do, and that there is as
hard as it may be while it's happening, there is
(42:30):
a plan. There is a reason that we can't see
at a particular time why something is happening. And I
just love that your body knew that what you were
doing with the breath working cold Plunge workshop was not
meant for you at that moment. I also know that
(42:52):
the connection that you had with this being that was
now in your body and whatever that connection with you
three and that great universal energy above us, whatever we
call it, knew that now was not the time. And
what a gift that this being chose to say, Okay,
(43:14):
I get it, this is not the right time. There
may be other ways for us to connect later. And
so there was the miscarriage that painful and traumatic as
it was also in many ways a gift for you,
and that it opened the door for new paths and
new ways of learning and being in the world. And
(43:36):
it is indeed like a birth of a new you
in many ways, and like a new language you're learning,
because certainly the language of speaking doulah or speaking herbalism
is probably different than speaking construction manager. And that you've
been given this gift, this opportunity to be a new
(43:57):
you and to be of service in the world in
a different way. Thank you so much for this story.
Speaker 1 (44:04):
I just want to say ditto. I don't know what
to add to that. Dev You've said it beautifully, and
our listener expressed it beautifully, and you're right. This is
just a sign that our spirit babies are always around us,
listening to us, and they know, they know when it's
their time and when it's not their time. And it's
almost as though this soul came to her to help
(44:24):
her give birth to this new life. Yes, absolutely, absolutely amazing. Okay,
Our last one says, I rarely remember my dreams. This morning, though,
I woke up suddenly with a vision of a light
blue stone and the words the stone of Angels clearly
in my mind. I woke up saying the stone of angels.
(44:46):
I am well aware of angelite, but I've never heard
it referred to as the stone of angels. As they
drove to work, I listened to your podcast episode called
twenty five Exercises to Supercharge Your Intuition, and I heard
Samantha say those exact words. I had shippers all over
my body. That was a definite hit from spirit, a connection,
(45:07):
a sign. I'm not sure what to do with it.
Am I meant to find myself some angelite?
Speaker 2 (45:12):
Yes, I love that, but it's so true.
Speaker 1 (45:20):
We have all these wonderful listeners writing in and basically
answering their questions. I think that is such a great
reminder that it is okay that sometimes we just need
that extra validation. And I think that's why asking for
signs is one of my favorite things to do, because
we all need that extra validation. But yes, Deb and
(45:41):
I are here to say it, sure sounds like you
need to get yourself some angelite. The angelite is not
only the stone of angels, it's also one of the
stones of telepathy. So I always love to recommend that
if you're going to buy some angelite, get yourself two
pieces of angelite, and you can keep one for yourself
and give one to a friend that you want to
(46:03):
really stay connected with coorted with it a happy, positive way.
So I always recommend, for example, caregivers who are now
empty nesters like myself, saying goodbye to their kids as
they head off to college, get them an angelite bracelet
or an angelite stone, and get yourself one, and then
you two can always stay connected that way. But overall,
(46:25):
angelite is the stone of angels, and.
Speaker 2 (46:28):
I want to add to that because of its light
blue color, which's some beautiful stone. I love it. I
have some beautiful basis. It's also our throat chakra stone.
So another of the gifts that angelite gives us is
that notion of how we communicate and talk with our
celestial beings and with each other. It's a reminder to
speak gently and kindly and with spirit in mind.
Speaker 1 (46:54):
Well said, well, thank you guys so much for sending
in your questions and making some of them. I'm easy
by answering them all by yourself. We really approve to you, that.
Speaker 2 (47:05):
Hippie.
Speaker 1 (47:06):

we're all in this together, and that there is a beautiful,
loving force greater than us, beyond us, that is guiding
us and always always has our back. We hope you
(47:50):
