In this episode of "Aphantasia Experiments," our host Robin invites listeners into a world where the boundaries between the physical and the spiritual dissolve, revealing the profound connections that exist beyond our senses. Robin shares their transformative experiences with distant Reiki, a practice that sends healing energy across the cosmos, touching lives and souls with its gentle power. Through personal stories of intuitive revelations and the remarkable outcomes of these distant sessions, we explore the wild frontier of psychic abilities and the healing arts.
Taking a leap into a role that intertwines with the cycles of life and death, Robin discusses their new endeavor in delivering the remains of departed souls. This unique journey brings to light the importance of empathy and listening, opening up conversations about the essence of our connections and the stories that shape our lives. It's a testament to the beauty that emerges when we truly listen, not only to each other but also to the whispers of our higher selves.
The episode delves into the intricate relationship between intuition and anxiety, shedding light on the often misunderstood aspects of being highly sensitive and possessing psychic abilities. Robin offers insight into how embracing our intuition can lead to a clearer understanding of ourselves and the world around us, easing the anxieties that shadow our psychic gifts.
For those navigating the world with aphantasia, Robin brings a message of hope and innovation. Sharing their vision for making Reiki accessible to all, regardless of one's ability to visualize, Robin is developing a unique approach to teaching Reiki. This episode is an invitation to anyone drawn to explore their psychic abilities, understand the depth of empathy, and recognize sensitivity as a profound strength.
Join Robin on "Aphantasia Experiments" for "Intuition Unveiled: A Journey Beyond the Senses," where we step into the realm of healing, empathy, and the extraordinary experiences that await when we listen deeply to our higher selves and the universe around us.

Robin (00:01):
Hello and welcome to another episode of Aphantasia
Experiments. I'm really excitedto have you here. I feel like a
lot has changed, a lot hashappened. I feel like that every
time I record a podcast, Iactually feel like I am a
podcaster because I'm just thisI just had this realization not
too long ago. I feel like I'vebeen guided by spirit, by
(00:25):
angels, by guides.
I don't know who to call them,what to call them, but I feel
like I've been getting thesemassive downloads. And I've had
them for so long, but I Ifinally kinda understand them a
little bit better, that I getthese downloads, and they have
to go somewhere. And so Istarted this podcast. You know,
(00:50):
I was kind of, like, intuitivelyguided to do it, but now I'm
realizing that it's it's it's aplace for me to dump all the
downloads. And I think thedownloads are completely, you
know, sent to me by Spirit.
They're just it's just poppedinto my head and that all that
information that I get is meantto be shared. You know? It's
like spirit is trying tocommunicate. I don't know if
(01:13):
you've read the book Big Magicby Elizabeth Gilbert, but she
talks about how often we getideas in our heads. And if we
don't, like, act on those ideas,they will go to someone else.
It's like this laser beam beingput into your head, you know,
like the story, Harry Potter,for example. It gets put into JK
Rowling's head. She writes itdown furiously, and she makes
(01:37):
this book series. That'swonderful. Well, what would have
happened if she didn't sit downand write furiously?
What if, you know, her brain waslike, yeah. This is a great
idea, but I want to. Well, itwould go on to the next person,
and that person would have thedecision to kind of communicate
that. Right? Whatever.
That's kinda what's happening, Ifeel like, with probably all of
(02:02):
us. But for me, it's like I getthese, like, spiritual
downloads, and I don't if if Idon't talk about them, either
with my friends or on a podcast,if I don't communicate the stuff
that's kinda coming in for me,my anxiety is bananas, and this
(02:24):
is like a pretty newrealization. It's like this the
spiritual information, thisinformation comes in me, comes
through dreams, it comes throughsigns, it comes through, random
memories that pop into my mind,random ideas about changing, you
know, the world in differentways. All this information just
kinda lands in my mind. And thenif I don't express it outwardly,
(02:46):
if I don't talk about it, if Idon't release it somehow, it
gets stuck and and I get superanxious.
And and I and it's like, I'msure I'm not the only one in the
universe that has this. I'm surethere's many people out there
that have this where you getanxiety. It's like a buzzing or
bubbling in your chest. It canfeel different in different in
(03:08):
in different ways, like, in yourbody. But it's this, like,
uneasy feeling, like, somethingbad is gonna happen or something
I don't know.
It's it's it's a terriblefeeling, and it's very daunting.
And what I think is happening isthat I'm getting so much
information, but I'm holdingonto it and not releasing it and
(03:30):
not expressing it. And when Idon't do that, it's like my
body's saying, you need to doit. Like, get out of get out of
your head. Like, stop stop, youknow, overthinking stuff and
just, like, believe what themessages that are coming in and
say them out loud.
You know, share them with yourfriends. Share them with your
listeners. Write it in a book.Do automatic writing, but you
(03:53):
need to be able to, like,listen, hear, and, like,
vocalize or express it and andrelease it somehow. Otherwise,
it just sticks in you, and itcauses insane amounts of
anxiety.
So if you are someone who gets,like, random downloads, random
ideas, random thoughts, dreamsthat, like, you know, tell a
(04:15):
story or explain something. Dosomething with that information.
Don't just sit on it because themore you sit on it, the more
it's like the universe is like Idon't know if it it's like the
it's trying to shake you to say,listen to me. And that that
voice of listen to me is, if youdon't listen to it, it comes out
(04:37):
in, like, bodily anxieties, likelike, feelings in your body,
like the sick to your stomach,the gut feeling, the butt butt,
the buzzing in your chest, allthat stuff. If you're not
listening to that intuition,that guidance coming through and
you're just kinda, like,ignoring it or, stuffing it
(04:59):
down, that's that's what's gonnahappen.
That's anxiety, baby. And I feellike most of the people in the
world, in this world, have somesort of anxiety disorder. And
I'm not, like, in any waymocking that because I have
anxiety, and I think it's justtrying to better understand
where it comes from, you know.If you are doing stuff in your
(05:22):
life that feels so out ofalignment with who you are at a
soul level, and if you don'teven know who you are at a soul
level, that's gonna cause a lotof anxiety. You know?
I I feel the worst, you know,when I'm doing something that
doesn't jive with who I amanymore. I will get, like, sick
to my stomach sometimes. I justI, like, start doing something,
(05:44):
and I'm like, I feel like I needto get up and walk around. I
can't even do this. Like, it'sso I feel like in my body, I
know now to listen to that voiceand, to know when my body is
saying, don't do this.
You know? Like, at my old job, Iwas getting sick so often, so
(06:07):
often. And it was my body beinglike, you need to get the f out
of here. You know? This is notgood for you and your mental
health.
You are not following, you know,the path that we're laying out
for you. You're kinda doing yourown thing, scared to listen to
the voice. So this is just mypublic service announcement. If
(06:28):
you have a little voice insideof your head saying, do this, do
that, Just don't ignore it. Andif you're scared about it, talk
it out loud.
Talk to it. Talk talk about whatyou're hearing. You know? Maybe
just expressing it out loud canhelp you navigate and
understand, you know, the theguidance that you're getting.
(06:51):
Kinda feel like, what?
Why do you want me to go walkdowntown today? That makes no
sense. And then you starttalking about it. You're like,
oh, maybe if I went downtown, Iwould run into someone I haven't
seen in a while who I don'tknow. I don't know.
But sometimes you get a voice inyour head to go a different
direction on your way home. Youdon't need to know the answer,
(07:12):
but just listen to it. Justlisten to it. And the more you
listen to it, the more you,like, talk to it and, like, ask
for clarification, the moreyou're gonna feel, like, in
alignment, and you're gonna feelgood in your body and you're
gonna feel natural doing thingsand it's not gonna feel weird
anymore. So that's my rambleabout that.
I don't know where that camefrom, but that's been something
(07:35):
that's been kind of coming upfor me a lot. It's just like
listen to your intuition or youranxiety is gonna be bad. So I've
been working for a companydelivering remains to people. I
haven't talked about the companyname or anything. I haven't
(07:57):
there I think they're doing a ablog piece on me on their
website.
So once they do that, I'll I'llpost about it. But, my job has
been going to visit families whohave lost recently lost loved
ones, and I deliver the remainsand I sit with the family.
Often, it's a quick interaction,but other times it's like you
hear a lot of stories about, theperson they've lost, you know, a
(08:19):
lot of different things. And,it's been such a beautiful
experience for me to just holdbase for people. I think that's
something that I've I've alwaysbeen kinda drawn towards.
I've always and not just beingdrawn towards. I feel like when
I was, growing up as a kid,like, adults would share a lot
(08:41):
of stuff with me. And just,like, all throughout my life
when I worked in a pharmacy,people would come up to me and,
like, talk to me like I was abartender. You know? I remember
getting my dad, like, a jobinterview from a woman that came
through with my dad and lost hisjob.
He worked in the bankingindustry and lost his job right
at the end of my high school.And, I was someone who worked at
(09:04):
the head office and was, like,willing to give my dad a shot
just based on a conversation hehad with me, and I was, like, 18
at the time. But I had this,like, maturity and able I was
able to, like, listen and givefeedback appropriately. I feel
like that's always been kind ofI don't know. Maybe my, like, my
(09:26):
my shining shining light is thatI'm I'm I'm a good listener or,
I'm I'm here to hold base forpeople's stories and stuff.
And starting this job, my son,my oldest son was like, are you
sure you're gonna be able tohandle that? You're an empath.
Like, you could feel things.Like, we know you know that
about yourself. Like, look atyour last job and what it did to
(09:48):
you and blah blah blah.
And I was like, I understandwhere you're coming from. You
know? From an outsideperspective looking in, this
sounds like a terrible job, butthe job itself I come home, and
I feel like my heart is full. Itfeels like I'm living in the
(10:09):
moment, and I'm cherishing themoments that I have. You know?
I think about I think about thepeople that I'm delivering. You
know? They're not here anymore.Life life can end abruptly. Life
(10:30):
can end it can be a prolongedthing.
But facing that, you know,facing that end is it's eye
opening. It makes you look atlife a little differently and
appreciate the little things inlife a little bit more. And it
(10:51):
also, based on all myinteractions with people again,
some are really short and somepeople don't wanna talk at all,
but all the other, you know,meaningful interactions I've had
with people, it it really thething I'm learning is how
important it is, how importantthe small connections we have,
(11:12):
like, all the connections wehave in our life are, and how
sharing our stories with peopleand connecting with people,
that's what life is about. It'snot about, you know, the nice
car that you bought or the bonusyou got or, you know, how many
things you sold. It's about thethe moments and the connections
(11:36):
we have with people that welove, and, I love that.
I love learning. I love learningthat, and I love being around
people who have are, like,learning that themselves through
the grief they're experiencing.I'm not saying I love being
around people who are grieving,but I also feel like I can help
(11:59):
in a way. And I feel like when Ileave those situations, I don't
feel like I'm leaving the peopleworse. You know?
I feel like I've added some sortof glimmer into their day, and
that might not always be thecase. But for the most part, I
(12:21):
feel like I've left, and I'vemade their day better in some
format, and I and I think thatjust comes from me being, like,
a natural lightworker. Anyways,I love that part about me, but
the other part that, and I'mgonna talk a bit about
Affentasia here. I know is apodcast for Aphantasia. I
(12:42):
clearly don't talk about itmuch.
But I also went for my Reiki 2.So I've talked about before, I
have my Reiki 1 and I love doingReiki. I haven't dabbled a ton
in doing it for people that Idon't know. So it's been mostly,
(13:03):
like, friends and family. I doit on my kids all the time.
I do it on myself all the time.I do it on my dog all the time,
and it's very, like, I couldfeel it's it's a feeling in my
body that I get and Iunderstand, and it's like I
started doing Reiki and I waslike, oh, you know, I always
understood that we were, like,made up of energy and whatnot,
(13:25):
but doing the Reiki like, theReiki one experience was like,
oh, okay. I get it now. I gethow to work with it. I get like,
I just understand it a bitbetter.
And it's so beautiful right now.I'm just driving home, and
there's this beautiful fog overthis, like, mountain. It's not
it's not really a mountain, butit looks like a mountain.
(13:46):
There's ski hills and stuff. Sopretty.
Anyway, random. So when I hadwhen I did my reiki one, I was
like, this is so magical andamazing, and I was doing reiki
at my friend and having allthese, like, really cool
experiences, like, psychicexperiences where impressions
would come to me and andwhatnot, and then, like,
everything would come true afteror, like, not come true, but,
(14:09):
like, it's like painting apicture, like, you're figuring
out a puzzle, you know, andthere's pieces that you haven't
fully, you know, made work inthe puzzle yet, but you know
they're there. That's, like,what the Reiki experience was
for me. Anyways, so I had theReiki one for, I don't know, a
while, and all of a sudden I hadthis, like, pull, this push.
(14:30):
Right?
I don't know. I never know if itwas a pull or a push, but, to
get Reiki 2. It was, like, in aweek my friend was, like, you
should go for your Reiki 2. And,like, I had a dream about it, I
had all this other stuff, andthen my Reiki master had texted
me or something the same weekwhich is not normal. So finally
I was like, okay, universe.
Let's do this. So I went and Idid my reiki 2 attunement, and
(14:54):
I've been practicing on somepeople. And it has been
absolutely mind boggling, mindbending, completely surreal.
Like, when I first did the reikiweb, I was like, this is
magical. I and I don'tunderstand distance Reiki.
(15:14):
It seems so silly to me. Andwhen I came home from my, like,
attunement the second time and Iwas telling my husband about it,
so I was like, oh, I can dodistant Reiki now. So I can do
Reiki on someone who's not evenwith me. He's like, wait a
second. So, you know, I can geton board with the energy healing
when you're touching someone.
(15:35):
It seems a little out there, butI can get on board with them. My
my husband is not at all likeme, so I'm doing his I'm doing
his voice here, but it's notwhat he says, like, at all. And
then he goes, but but you'retelling me that you can, you
know, do energy healing onsomeone who's not even there?
(15:57):
And I was like, yeah. And andI'm like, he just looks at me
like, are you insane?
Are you insane? And it's funnybecause I even talked about it
on the podcast before. I'm like,I don't understand distant
Reiki. I don't get it if you'renot in the room, like, whatever.
But now that I've I've done itand I've experienced it, I'm
(16:17):
telling you, it is better forme, like, on the receiving end
for my impressions and whatnot.
It is better for me as apractitioner to do the distance
Reiki. I love the normal, youknow, in person Reiki as well,
But the distance Reiki, it'slike the amount of impressions
(16:38):
and things that come into mymind so quickly while I'm doing
it. It's like I can tap intothat energy so fast, and I'm
getting all this, like,information about all the
chakras, about all themisalignments, about, like,
things that have happened, like,personal stuff about the person,
all this. It's it is absolutelybananas, and I'm loving it. I
(17:04):
love I wanna do more of this.
I I put it on my website now.I've only been doing it with for
not too long, but I'm startingto do it for more people that I
don't know well because thatthat's a whole different
ballgame, and it's so muchbetter for me because I don't go
(17:24):
into it with any preconceived,you know, whatever. I'm not
thinking I'm like, oh, I alreadyknow this about someone. Like, I
do it on my best friend all thetime and she had you know, she
wants to buy a house orwhatever. So I'm, like, thinking
about that and, like, gettingstuff about that.
And and if I didn't know, youknow, that she wanted to buy a
house somewhere, I wouldn't havethat, like, preconceived notion,
(17:45):
you know, like and and so doingit on people that I don't know,
it is such a magical experiencebecause I'm like, I don't know
how to place it, and it's scary.Right? Because you're basically
just, like, saying random shitthat could or couldn't be
accurate. But what I'm gettingis it's accurate, and it's so
(18:08):
cool. So I did it on my, I had afriend, one of my best friends
growing up.
She's the person who actuallyintroduced me to spirit in the
glass as a child, which is likeOuija, and maybe I'll do a whole
episode on that one day becauseI a lot of people are, like, so
against it, and I am not. I'mnot against Ouija. I'm not
(18:29):
against Spirit in the Glass. Ithink it's the fear that holds
us back. I think fear, and Idon't wanna be irresponsible in
saying this because a lot ofpeople say, oh, you have to
protect yourself, and I do.
I protect myself before I do doa reading or, a seance or
whatever, but I am not scared.And as a child growing up in
(18:50):
grade 2, I was communicatingwith dead people. I was never
scared, and so I didn't havescary experiences. I just
believed that they were good.And even a scary person like, I
of course, I've had some scaryexperiences, but I never
believed they would have aneffect on me.
You know? I always believed thatI had the power, you know, in
(19:11):
myself to protect myself,whatever. So, I think a lot of,
like, the those kind ofexperiences, the, you know, with
Ouija and and and Spirit in theGlass or whatever intuitive tool
that you practice, it's like youneed to have the belief in
yourself and the knowingnessthat you are always protected.
(19:32):
And so with that in mind, Ithink that, you know, those kind
of practices can be reallyamazing and and really,
validating and really soulhealing. You know?
If you especially if you go intoa seance or, you know, a Ouija
(19:53):
experience and you specificallywanna connect to someone, and
you are able to get that, it'spretty pretty freaking magical.
Anyways, that was a longtangent, but my friend, she was
having some health problems. Ihadn't I haven't she is, like,
was my best friend as a child,but we don't speak all the time
(20:14):
now. Like, I talk to her acouple times a year. I don't
know really anything about herlife, and but she had a bit of a
health scare with a tumor, andso I had offered to do her some
distance reiki.
And I had such a incredibleexperience with her. It was so
(20:36):
magical. Like, all the stuff, itwas so I've never like, I've
done quite a few now, and, like,the feelings I was getting, it
was just it was such a magicalexperience, and I sent her a big
long voice note, and shevalidated most of the stuff,
(20:58):
like 99% of the stuff. And thatalone, like, that experience has
made me, like, more confident inmy own abilities, and I need to
do more of that. I need to domore practicing and offering
these, Reiki healings on onpeople outside of my circle.
(21:20):
So I put it on my website now.I'm offering Reiki distance
Reiki. With that, you will get avoice note. It'll be like an
intuitive it's like a psychicreading, and and the way I do
it, it's different than, youknow, other people. When when I
went to see my Reiki master, shewas like and that this is how I
(21:43):
know this is the right personfor me because I know that a lot
of people do Reiki in a lot ofdifferent ways.
But for her, she said, you know,I want to make this experience
an intuitive experience for you.So, Reiki can be done in many
different ways. You know,there's the symbols and whatnot,
but the actual way of doing it,it should come intuitively to
(22:05):
you, and that's exactly whatit's been for me. It's been very
much intuitive. And, like, Ifeel like now that I'm in tune
to that, like, kind of energy,I'm able to do the reading so
much easier.
Like, it comes so naturally.It's really freaking cool. Where
was I gonna go with that? Idon't remember. Oh, what
(22:32):
I was gonna
say was the way I do it, I I do it a little bit
differently. So for me and and Ithink that this is gonna evolve
over time. And if you're in yourown, you know, if you're
learning how to be psychic,intuitive, medium, whatever,
and, you know, it takes time tofigure this shit out. So I'm a I
I know I have this power. I knowthat I'm being guided.
(22:53):
I know, you know, that that thestuff that's coming into my head
is not just my own randomness.It is coming from a higher
power. I know this, but I alsoknow that I have certain times
of the day where I feel thispower of war. And I think that
over time, the more I the more Idevelop it, the more I'll be
(23:16):
able to access that and, like,hone into that quicker at all
times of the day. But for me,right now, I wake up at 3
o'clock in the morning, and I'mup till 6 usually.
And during that time, I'm doingReiki on myself. And I if I have
other people that need Reikidone, I'll do it on them often
(23:39):
during that time because I feelso powerful. You know, I used to
say I I and I still do this.Like, I wake up and I listen to
this sky talk to me, and that'swhat's happening. It's like, it
is so loud during that time, andit used to frustrate me so much
that I would wake up and not beable to get back to sleep.
But now I'm like, the universe,it needs to speak. And so if I
(23:59):
can do Reiki on someone duringthose time that time period,
that's what that's kinda when Iwanna do it. So if you're
looking to get a Reiki sessiondone, I say on the website just,
like, send me a note on when youtypically, like, relax because I
can do Reiki at night, like, inthe evening when you're, like,
relaxing and watching Netflix.I'm I I say, like, you do not
(24:21):
have to be just, like, layingthere, not doing anything. Just
don't be moving around anddriving.
That's the main thing. If you'resitting down or lying down, I
will do Reiki on you. I don'tcare if you're watching a show,
it doesn't matter to me, I'mtapping into your energy, it
doesn't really matter what elseis going on. And the other part
is, like, if you if you're ifyou're obviously sleeping from 3
(24:44):
to 6 unless you're a night nightshift worker, that is likely
when I will do it. So for theactual Reiki session, it's not
like I I'm not gonna say, okay.
I'm I'm gonna do it. And, again,this might change, but
currently, this is the way I'mI'm going to do it because I
know my energy, and I know thatI wanna do I wanna do this this
(25:10):
Reiki healing on people when Iknow I'm I'm in the best shape
for it. So I wanna look at,like, when do you relax? When do
you go to bed? Because those arethe times that I wanna do it for
you.
So I ask that question when yougo to purchase, and then what
you'll receive from me in thenext in, like, 48 hours, and
(25:33):
I'll I'll let you know if it hasto take longer. It all depends
on, you know, life, you know, ifI have 4 children up barfing in
the middle of the night, well,you want Reiki done? You're not
gonna have the best Reikitreatment because my energy is
gonna be all scattered, right?So, I say 48 hours and that
likely will be the case, but I'mhuman. And once once I've done
(25:59):
the reiki, I'll send you a quickemail or note saying that it's
been done and that that youshould drink some extra fluids
just to, you know, keep yourvibe up.
But then I'll also send you avoice note with all the
information I received duringthe treatment, and this can come
(26:21):
in, like it's, like, spiritualguidance, things that need to
change, things that you need towork through, stuck energy in
your body, what that could mean,how you could fix it,
experiences that you might beholding on to that that have
kept you from moving forward.There's, like, so much in there
(26:41):
that come out by just me lookingat your energy. It is cuckoo
bananas, wild, and amazing, andI am here for it. I hope you're
here for it. And the other partto all this is as you know, I
said before that I was gonnatalk about Aphantasia and I
clearly haven't.
But with Reiki, if you haveAphantasia and you're like, I
(27:03):
would love to do Reiki, but Ican't because I can't remember
symbols. This is another partwhere I was like, okay. I am not
gonna be able to pull up thissymbol in my mind because I
can't see anything in my mind.How do I go about doing this? So
I, like, I lay out the paperswith the symbols, and I think
going forward I'm gonna get,like, some buttons printed that
I can have so I can just lookat.
(27:25):
But once I've just, like, had itin my mind and I think about it,
like, that's all I need to do,and it works. So I think that
sometimes we hold we holdourselves back with putting in
so many rules, when really, youknow, sometimes it's just like
you need to turn on your powerand it's there. But I do think
(27:50):
that I'm kinda learning adifferent way, and it's more
intuitive to me, but, you know,I'm taking what I've learned
from my Reiki master and I'mmaking it work for me from an
Athantasia perspective. And, Ithink going forward once I
become a Reiki master, which I'mnot yet, so if you're reaching
(28:11):
out to me about, you know,wanting to learn how to become a
Reiki person, I'm not there yet,but I will be eventually. So
keep stay tuned.
I would love to be able to offerthis service to people who have
aphantasia because I thinkthere's so many of us out there,
and I know we're not all thesame because my husband has
aphantasia and he is not anenergy healer. Like, he he has
(28:36):
so many other amazing qualitiesthat, like, were heightened
despite his, but his, like,empathy, energy, all that shit,
he's not like, he's the yin yangto my yang. He's not he's not
like me at all in that way, butI know there is a plethora of
people out there who are likeme, who see things differently,
(28:58):
who feel things differently, andthat's what I'm here for. I'm
here to help those people whoare like me. It might be a small
niche community, but, it'sthere.
And if you have aphantasia, butyou feel, you know, like, you've
always had this, you know, senseof people or or understanding of
(29:22):
emotions in a different way, Ithink that it's worth, you know,
looking into more. And I'd loveto help guide you in any way
possible. Reach out to me for aReiki reading, but also stay
tuned because one day, hopefullyin the near future, I'm
thinking, like, maybe by thesummer, we'll see how this goes.
I will I will work on getting myReiki master and then I'll be
(29:43):
able to also teach people. And Iand I really want to kind of
lean into teaching people whohave aphantasia because I have a
really I have a really goodunderstanding of how our our
minds work, and it's sodifferent and unique than other
people.
And, I think we need to leaninto our unique unique abilities
(30:04):
as much as possible. So, yeah, Ihope I hope this podcast
resonates with you in some way.Please reach out if you are
interested at all in a a Reikiexperience, And feel free to
email me if you have any sort ofquestions. My email is
rofocreative@gmail.com.Rofocreative,
(30:29):
creative@gmail.com.
And then my my website where youcan get the, reiki treatments it
is aphantasiaexperiments.com. Ifyou just go to the offerings
page, there's also somemeditations in there for people
with aphantasia. You can find alot of it on YouTube, though,
(30:52):
and I have my intuitive readingstoo. I do off also offer tarot,
and dice readings. That'ssomething else I offer.
Basically, intuitive readings iswhat I'm kinda doing, but re the
reiki one is a bit differentbecause it involves also, like,
tuning into your energy andhealing and patching and kind
(31:13):
of, like, working and making itflow a bit differently than than
it than it is unless you havebeautiful energy and you're
coming in, like, this perfectball of of beautiful chakras.
And if that's the case, I cantell you that and be like, you
are on the right path. You're inalignment. It's a beautiful
(31:33):
thing. Most people have a littlebit, you know, some stuff going
on, but, sometimes you just needa little bit of guidance, and,
I'm here for it.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed thispodcast. I hope there's
something in there that stuckwith you. If not,
check out one of
(31:54):
my other podcasts. There's gotta be something there
for you. And, if not, well,don't listen to my podcast
anymore because I like toramble. But I'm sure there's
something for you, and I hopethat you continue listening, and
I hope to hear you from fromyou. I love to hear from my
fans, my listeners, and, I hopeyou book a Reiki session.
(32:17):
And, yeah, I hope you stay tunedand also become one of my
students in the future because Ithink that that will be, I think
there's a lot of peoplespiritual Aphantasia people out
there that wanna develop andhone their gifts, and I'm
excited to to to be kind of, youknow, at the forefront, like,
(32:40):
learning about all this stuff.So in the future, I'll be able
to guide people. That's kindawhere I'm at. Oh, one more
story. I wanted to say thisbecause I was gonna end, but I
was scrolling on somethingyesterday, and I came across
this video of Matt Damon on theStephen Colbert Colbert Show.
And I've had this thing for MattDamon since, oh, grade 7 or
(33:02):
grade 8? Grade 8. 1997. Iremember the year so well
because, I don't know. I I justI feel like, I don't know, grade
8, grade 7, those years are veryimpactful.
But I had this thing for MattDamon and Ben Affleck. I loved
Goodwill Hunting. My friend andI went to see it, like, 1700
times in theaters. We actuallywent it was when all of our
(33:25):
friends were going to seeTitanic because they loved Leo,
Leonardo DiCaprio, if you don'tknow. And I was like, no.
Good Will Hunting is that iswhere it's at, which I'm like, I
don't even know if we were,like, legally allowed to go at
that age because there was a lotof swear words in that movie. In
fact, we went once, and we wentjust to count how many times
they dropped the f bomb in themovie. We got bored after, like,
(33:48):
20 minutes because there's somany and we stopped counting,
but, yeah, that movie, we lovedit. Still love it. It's a great
movie.
Anyway, I've always had thisthing from Matt Damon. He
there's something about him andthe things he says, how
intelligent he is. He's a greatwriter. He's he's just I think
he's a good person. And I knowthat, like, celebrities, it's
(34:11):
hard because we expect them tobe perfect all the time.
So if they screw up once, you'relike, oh, but didn't you hear he
did this? Like, Oprah. Peopleare pissed at a bit at Oprah. I
I think, generally, she's a goodperson. Anyways, why am I
talking about this?
Matt Damon was on Steve Colbertand he said something and it was
just a clip that I saw and I waslike, oh, Matt Damon gets it.
(34:35):
And maybe this is why I'vealways loved Matt Damon is
because he has the same kind ofunderstanding about the universe
as I do. He was telling thestory, and please look it up. I
actually ended up watching thewhole interview. But he was
talking about, I guess, SteveCooper asked about his earliest
memory, I think.
And he said that recently had adream. So his father had just
(34:57):
recently died. He had a dreamthat is in the dream, it was a
visitation dream from hisfather, and his dad gave him
this big hug. And he said in thedream, he felt, it's like he
felt what it was like to be heldfor the first time, which made
him, like, remember when hisconsciousness came online for
(35:19):
the first time, like, when hisdad held him as a newborn. I was
like, woah.
It made my, like, admit, like,gave me goosebumps. I was like,
he gets it. Like, heunderstands, and I've had that
dream before too. I'm not withmy dad. My dad's still alive,
but I had it with my friend whopassed away.
(35:39):
He gave me a hug, and I waslike, holy crap. I remember,
like, every hug I've everexperienced with you through
this moment. And, yeah, I I Icould go on a whole I could do a
whole episode about griefdreams. In fact, Google grief
dreams. There's a guy that Iforget his name, but he was
(36:02):
working out of McMaster Hospitalor McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario.
I don't know if he's still doinghis research on it, but he I
think his website is grief dreamgrief dreams dot com or dot ca.
And he's done all this researchon grief dreams and how they can
help help with the grievingprocess and the healing process,
and I completely believe thatbecause I've had a lot of
(36:24):
visitation dreams. And everytime you have them, you wake up
thinking like, you wake upfeeling warm and fuzzy and,
like, better, you know. And forme, I always validate those
dreams. I'm like, that was real.
I know it was real because Ifelt those things that I you
know, the colors are a bitdifferent or whatever. I always
validate myself, but I don'tthink everyone does that. They,
(36:48):
like, shake it off as it's,like, it's not a real thing.
Anyways, this grief dream sky,has been exploring, you know,
the benefit of them and and theresearch behind them. So it's
really interesting.
Feel free to to to Google thatand do some research. I would
love to have him on the podcastone day when I'm brave enough to
(37:10):
have guests on. Also, MattDamon, if you're around. Matt.
Just, you know, in case yourarely listen to podcast about
yourself, I'm a big fan, and Ifeel like you've done a lot of
great things with the world inin your position.
And, I'd love to have you as aguest. So, Matt Damon, if you're
listening to this, please reachout. I also, oddly enough just
(37:34):
gonna keep rambling here. Ioddly enough have dreams about
Matt Matt Damon often and sinceI was a kid and it's always we
are at a baseball game and we'rejust shooting the shit. As a
kid, I had such a crush on him,and now I look at him and I'm,
like, I love that he's a marriedman with children and, like,
he's a family guy and he's just,like, super intelligent, well
(37:57):
read, all of these things.
And I look at and I see him inmy dreams, and I'm like, he's
just my friend. You know? So Ithink Matt Damon and I are
friends, you know, in in thespiritual realm, maybe not in
this lifetime, but I feel likewe are connected through that,
(38:18):
through the dream world. And, itit would be interesting to see,
you know, if we ever met in reallife, if he would recognize me
because of how often we're ineach other's dreams. And by in
each other's dreams, I mean, I'min.
He's in my dream. I don't knowif I'm in his, but wouldn't that
be cool? I talk to my friend allthe time about our dreams, and
oftentimes, our dreams willhave, like, parts that are
similar or, like like, we'redoing the same thing in our
(38:41):
dreams. So how often do you getto actually talk to the people
that you dream about? Wouldn'tthat be interesting?
Wouldn't it be just wild if wewere dreaming the same thing? I
don't know. Anyways, I am gonnastop talking and rambling now. I
hope you enjoyed this podcast,and I hope you explore whatever
you wanna explore in life,whether it be Reiki, Matt Damon
(39:05):
movies, or, you know, whateverit is. Horseback riding.
I don't know. Go out and do thething. You only live once, and
by that, I mean, you livemultiple times because I believe
in reincarnation. But this lifethat you're in currently, you
only live one life in this meatsuit that you're in. So take
advantage of this body and thislife because it's worth it.
(39:30):
You know? You're meant to do bigthings. So go out and do it.
Have a great and wonderful day.I'll talk to you soon.
Hello and welcome to another episode of Aphantasia
Experiments. I'm really excitedto have you here. I feel like a
lot has changed, a lot hashappened. I feel like that every
time I record a podcast, Iactually feel like I am a
podcaster because I'm just thisI just had this realization not
too long ago. I feel like I'vebeen guided by spirit, by
(00:25):
angels, by guides.
I don't know who to call them,what to call them, but I feel
like I've been getting thesemassive downloads. And I've had
them for so long, but I Ifinally kinda understand them a
little bit better, that I getthese downloads, and they have
to go somewhere. And so Istarted this podcast. You know,
(00:50):
I was kind of, like, intuitivelyguided to do it, but now I'm
realizing that it's it's it's aplace for me to dump all the
downloads. And I think thedownloads are completely, you
know, sent to me by Spirit.
They're just it's just poppedinto my head and that all that
information that I get is meantto be shared. You know? It's
like spirit is trying tocommunicate. I don't know if
(01:13):
you've read the book Big Magicby Elizabeth Gilbert, but she
talks about how often we getideas in our heads. And if we
don't, like, act on those ideas,they will go to someone else.
It's like this laser beam beingput into your head, you know,
like the story, Harry Potter,for example. It gets put into JK
Rowling's head. She writes itdown furiously, and she makes
(01:37):
this book series. That'swonderful. Well, what would have
happened if she didn't sit downand write furiously?
What if, you know, her brain waslike, yeah. This is a great
idea, but I want to. Well, itwould go on to the next person,
and that person would have thedecision to kind of communicate
that. Right? Whatever.
That's kinda what's happening, Ifeel like, with probably all of
(02:02):
us. But for me, it's like I getthese, like, spiritual
downloads, and I don't if if Idon't talk about them, either
with my friends or on a podcast,if I don't communicate the stuff
that's kinda coming in for me,my anxiety is bananas, and this
(02:24):
is like a pretty newrealization. It's like this the
spiritual information, thisinformation comes in me, comes
through dreams, it comes throughsigns, it comes through, random
memories that pop into my mind,random ideas about changing, you
know, the world in differentways. All this information just
kinda lands in my mind. And thenif I don't express it outwardly,
(02:46):
if I don't talk about it, if Idon't release it somehow, it
gets stuck and and I get superanxious.
And and I and it's like, I'msure I'm not the only one in the
universe that has this. I'm surethere's many people out there
that have this where you getanxiety. It's like a buzzing or
bubbling in your chest. It canfeel different in different in
(03:08):
in different ways, like, in yourbody. But it's this, like,
uneasy feeling, like, somethingbad is gonna happen or something
I don't know.
It's it's it's a terriblefeeling, and it's very daunting.
And what I think is happening isthat I'm getting so much
information, but I'm holdingonto it and not releasing it and
(03:30):
not expressing it. And when Idon't do that, it's like my
body's saying, you need to doit. Like, get out of get out of
your head. Like, stop stop, youknow, overthinking stuff and
just, like, believe what themessages that are coming in and
say them out loud.
You know, share them with yourfriends. Share them with your
listeners. Write it in a book.Do automatic writing, but you
(03:53):
need to be able to, like,listen, hear, and, like,
vocalize or express it and andrelease it somehow. Otherwise,
it just sticks in you, and itcauses insane amounts of
anxiety.
So if you are someone who gets,like, random downloads, random
ideas, random thoughts, dreamsthat, like, you know, tell a
(04:15):
story or explain something. Dosomething with that information.
Don't just sit on it because themore you sit on it, the more
it's like the universe is like Idon't know if it it's like the
it's trying to shake you to say,listen to me. And that that
voice of listen to me is, if youdon't listen to it, it comes out
(04:37):
in, like, bodily anxieties, likelike, feelings in your body,
like the sick to your stomach,the gut feeling, the butt butt,
the buzzing in your chest, allthat stuff. If you're not
listening to that intuition,that guidance coming through and
you're just kinda, like,ignoring it or, stuffing it
(04:59):
down, that's that's what's gonnahappen.
That's anxiety, baby. And I feellike most of the people in the
world, in this world, have somesort of anxiety disorder. And
I'm not, like, in any waymocking that because I have
anxiety, and I think it's justtrying to better understand
where it comes from, you know.If you are doing stuff in your
(05:22):
life that feels so out ofalignment with who you are at a
soul level, and if you don'teven know who you are at a soul
level, that's gonna cause a lotof anxiety. You know?
I I feel the worst, you know,when I'm doing something that
doesn't jive with who I amanymore. I will get, like, sick
to my stomach sometimes. I justI, like, start doing something,
(05:44):
and I'm like, I feel like I needto get up and walk around. I
can't even do this. Like, it'sso I feel like in my body, I
know now to listen to that voiceand, to know when my body is
saying, don't do this.
You know? Like, at my old job, Iwas getting sick so often, so
(06:07):
often. And it was my body beinglike, you need to get the f out
of here. You know? This is notgood for you and your mental
health.
You are not following, you know,the path that we're laying out
for you. You're kinda doing yourown thing, scared to listen to
the voice. So this is just mypublic service announcement. If
(06:28):
you have a little voice insideof your head saying, do this, do
that, Just don't ignore it. Andif you're scared about it, talk
it out loud.
Talk to it. Talk talk about whatyou're hearing. You know? Maybe
just expressing it out loud canhelp you navigate and
understand, you know, the theguidance that you're getting.
(06:51):
Kinda feel like, what?
Why do you want me to go walkdowntown today? That makes no
sense. And then you starttalking about it. You're like,
oh, maybe if I went downtown, Iwould run into someone I haven't
seen in a while who I don'tknow. I don't know.
But sometimes you get a voice inyour head to go a different
direction on your way home. Youdon't need to know the answer,
(07:12):
but just listen to it. Justlisten to it. And the more you
listen to it, the more you,like, talk to it and, like, ask
for clarification, the moreyou're gonna feel, like, in
alignment, and you're gonna feelgood in your body and you're
gonna feel natural doing thingsand it's not gonna feel weird
anymore. So that's my rambleabout that.
I don't know where that camefrom, but that's been something
(07:35):
that's been kind of coming upfor me a lot. It's just like
listen to your intuition or youranxiety is gonna be bad. So I've
been working for a companydelivering remains to people. I
haven't talked about the companyname or anything. I haven't
(07:57):
there I think they're doing a ablog piece on me on their
website.
So once they do that, I'll I'llpost about it. But, my job has
been going to visit families whohave lost recently lost loved
ones, and I deliver the remainsand I sit with the family.
Often, it's a quick interaction,but other times it's like you
hear a lot of stories about, theperson they've lost, you know, a
(08:19):
lot of different things. And,it's been such a beautiful
experience for me to just holdbase for people. I think that's
something that I've I've alwaysbeen kinda drawn towards.
I've always and not just beingdrawn towards. I feel like when
I was, growing up as a kid,like, adults would share a lot
(08:41):
of stuff with me. And just,like, all throughout my life
when I worked in a pharmacy,people would come up to me and,
like, talk to me like I was abartender. You know? I remember
getting my dad, like, a jobinterview from a woman that came
through with my dad and lost hisjob.
He worked in the bankingindustry and lost his job right
at the end of my high school.And, I was someone who worked at
(09:04):
the head office and was, like,willing to give my dad a shot
just based on a conversation hehad with me, and I was, like, 18
at the time. But I had this,like, maturity and able I was
able to, like, listen and givefeedback appropriately. I feel
like that's always been kind ofI don't know. Maybe my, like, my
(09:26):
my shining shining light is thatI'm I'm I'm a good listener or,
I'm I'm here to hold base forpeople's stories and stuff.
And starting this job, my son,my oldest son was like, are you
sure you're gonna be able tohandle that? You're an empath.
Like, you could feel things.Like, we know you know that
about yourself. Like, look atyour last job and what it did to
(09:48):
you and blah blah blah.
And I was like, I understandwhere you're coming from. You
know? From an outsideperspective looking in, this
sounds like a terrible job, butthe job itself I come home, and
I feel like my heart is full. Itfeels like I'm living in the
(10:09):
moment, and I'm cherishing themoments that I have. You know?
I think about I think about thepeople that I'm delivering. You
know? They're not here anymore.Life life can end abruptly. Life
(10:30):
can end it can be a prolongedthing.
But facing that, you know,facing that end is it's eye
opening. It makes you look atlife a little differently and
appreciate the little things inlife a little bit more. And it
(10:51):
also, based on all myinteractions with people again,
some are really short and somepeople don't wanna talk at all,
but all the other, you know,meaningful interactions I've had
with people, it it really thething I'm learning is how
important it is, how importantthe small connections we have,
(11:12):
like, all the connections wehave in our life are, and how
sharing our stories with peopleand connecting with people,
that's what life is about. It'snot about, you know, the nice
car that you bought or the bonusyou got or, you know, how many
things you sold. It's about thethe moments and the connections
(11:36):
we have with people that welove, and, I love that.
I love learning. I love learningthat, and I love being around
people who have are, like,learning that themselves through
the grief they're experiencing.I'm not saying I love being
around people who are grieving,but I also feel like I can help
(11:59):
in a way. And I feel like when Ileave those situations, I don't
feel like I'm leaving the peopleworse. You know?
I feel like I've added some sortof glimmer into their day, and
that might not always be thecase. But for the most part, I
(12:21):
feel like I've left, and I'vemade their day better in some
format, and I and I think thatjust comes from me being, like,
a natural lightworker. Anyways,I love that part about me, but
the other part that, and I'mgonna talk a bit about
Affentasia here. I know is apodcast for Aphantasia. I
(12:42):
clearly don't talk about itmuch.
But I also went for my Reiki 2.So I've talked about before, I
have my Reiki 1 and I love doingReiki. I haven't dabbled a ton
in doing it for people that Idon't know. So it's been mostly,
(13:03):
like, friends and family. I doit on my kids all the time.
I do it on myself all the time.I do it on my dog all the time,
and it's very, like, I couldfeel it's it's a feeling in my
body that I get and Iunderstand, and it's like I
started doing Reiki and I waslike, oh, you know, I always
understood that we were, like,made up of energy and whatnot,
(13:25):
but doing the Reiki like, theReiki one experience was like,
oh, okay. I get it now. I gethow to work with it. I get like,
I just understand it a bitbetter.
And it's so beautiful right now.I'm just driving home, and
there's this beautiful fog overthis, like, mountain. It's not
it's not really a mountain, butit looks like a mountain.
(13:46):
There's ski hills and stuff. Sopretty.
Anyway, random. So when I hadwhen I did my reiki one, I was
like, this is so magical andamazing, and I was doing reiki
at my friend and having allthese, like, really cool
experiences, like, psychicexperiences where impressions
would come to me and andwhatnot, and then, like,
everything would come true afteror, like, not come true, but,
(14:09):
like, it's like painting apicture, like, you're figuring
out a puzzle, you know, andthere's pieces that you haven't
fully, you know, made work inthe puzzle yet, but you know
they're there. That's, like,what the Reiki experience was
for me. Anyways, so I had theReiki one for, I don't know, a
while, and all of a sudden I hadthis, like, pull, this push.
(14:30):
Right?
I don't know. I never know if itwas a pull or a push, but, to
get Reiki 2. It was, like, in aweek my friend was, like, you
should go for your Reiki 2. And,like, I had a dream about it, I
had all this other stuff, andthen my Reiki master had texted
me or something the same weekwhich is not normal. So finally
I was like, okay, universe.
Let's do this. So I went and Idid my reiki 2 attunement, and
(14:54):
I've been practicing on somepeople. And it has been
absolutely mind boggling, mindbending, completely surreal.
Like, when I first did the reikiweb, I was like, this is
magical. I and I don'tunderstand distance Reiki.
(15:14):
It seems so silly to me. Andwhen I came home from my, like,
attunement the second time and Iwas telling my husband about it,
so I was like, oh, I can dodistant Reiki now. So I can do
Reiki on someone who's not evenwith me. He's like, wait a
second. So, you know, I can geton board with the energy healing
when you're touching someone.
(15:35):
It seems a little out there, butI can get on board with them. My
my husband is not at all likeme, so I'm doing his I'm doing
his voice here, but it's notwhat he says, like, at all. And
then he goes, but but you'retelling me that you can, you
know, do energy healing onsomeone who's not even there?
(15:57):
And I was like, yeah. And andI'm like, he just looks at me
like, are you insane?
Are you insane? And it's funnybecause I even talked about it
on the podcast before. I'm like,I don't understand distant
Reiki. I don't get it if you'renot in the room, like, whatever.
But now that I've I've done itand I've experienced it, I'm
(16:17):
telling you, it is better forme, like, on the receiving end
for my impressions and whatnot.
It is better for me as apractitioner to do the distance
Reiki. I love the normal, youknow, in person Reiki as well,
But the distance Reiki, it'slike the amount of impressions
(16:38):
and things that come into mymind so quickly while I'm doing
it. It's like I can tap intothat energy so fast, and I'm
getting all this, like,information about all the
chakras, about all themisalignments, about, like,
things that have happened, like,personal stuff about the person,
all this. It's it is absolutelybananas, and I'm loving it. I
(17:04):
love I wanna do more of this.
I I put it on my website now.I've only been doing it with for
not too long, but I'm startingto do it for more people that I
don't know well because thatthat's a whole different
ballgame, and it's so muchbetter for me because I don't go
(17:24):
into it with any preconceived,you know, whatever. I'm not
thinking I'm like, oh, I alreadyknow this about someone. Like, I
do it on my best friend all thetime and she had you know, she
wants to buy a house orwhatever. So I'm, like, thinking
about that and, like, gettingstuff about that.
And and if I didn't know, youknow, that she wanted to buy a
house somewhere, I wouldn't havethat, like, preconceived notion,
(17:45):
you know, like and and so doingit on people that I don't know,
it is such a magical experiencebecause I'm like, I don't know
how to place it, and it's scary.Right? Because you're basically
just, like, saying random shitthat could or couldn't be
accurate. But what I'm gettingis it's accurate, and it's so
(18:08):
cool. So I did it on my, I had afriend, one of my best friends
growing up.
She's the person who actuallyintroduced me to spirit in the
glass as a child, which is likeOuija, and maybe I'll do a whole
episode on that one day becauseI a lot of people are, like, so
against it, and I am not. I'mnot against Ouija. I'm not
(18:29):
against Spirit in the Glass. Ithink it's the fear that holds
us back. I think fear, and Idon't wanna be irresponsible in
saying this because a lot ofpeople say, oh, you have to
protect yourself, and I do.
I protect myself before I do doa reading or, a seance or
whatever, but I am not scared.And as a child growing up in
(18:50):
grade 2, I was communicatingwith dead people. I was never
scared, and so I didn't havescary experiences. I just
believed that they were good.And even a scary person like, I
of course, I've had some scaryexperiences, but I never
believed they would have aneffect on me.
You know? I always believed thatI had the power, you know, in
(19:11):
myself to protect myself,whatever. So, I think a lot of,
like, the those kind ofexperiences, the, you know, with
Ouija and and and Spirit in theGlass or whatever intuitive tool
that you practice, it's like youneed to have the belief in
yourself and the knowingnessthat you are always protected.
(19:32):
And so with that in mind, Ithink that, you know, those kind
of practices can be reallyamazing and and really,
validating and really soulhealing. You know?
If you especially if you go intoa seance or, you know, a Ouija
(19:53):
experience and you specificallywanna connect to someone, and
you are able to get that, it'spretty pretty freaking magical.
Anyways, that was a longtangent, but my friend, she was
having some health problems. Ihadn't I haven't she is, like,
was my best friend as a child,but we don't speak all the time
(20:14):
now. Like, I talk to her acouple times a year. I don't
know really anything about herlife, and but she had a bit of a
health scare with a tumor, andso I had offered to do her some
distance reiki.
And I had such a incredibleexperience with her. It was so
(20:36):
magical. Like, all the stuff, itwas so I've never like, I've
done quite a few now, and, like,the feelings I was getting, it
was just it was such a magicalexperience, and I sent her a big
long voice note, and shevalidated most of the stuff,
(20:58):
like 99% of the stuff. And thatalone, like, that experience has
made me, like, more confident inmy own abilities, and I need to
do more of that. I need to domore practicing and offering
these, Reiki healings on onpeople outside of my circle.
(21:20):
So I put it on my website now.I'm offering Reiki distance
Reiki. With that, you will get avoice note. It'll be like an
intuitive it's like a psychicreading, and and the way I do
it, it's different than, youknow, other people. When when I
went to see my Reiki master, shewas like and that this is how I
(21:43):
know this is the right personfor me because I know that a lot
of people do Reiki in a lot ofdifferent ways.
But for her, she said, you know,I want to make this experience
an intuitive experience for you.So, Reiki can be done in many
different ways. You know,there's the symbols and whatnot,
but the actual way of doing it,it should come intuitively to
(22:05):
you, and that's exactly whatit's been for me. It's been very
much intuitive. And, like, Ifeel like now that I'm in tune
to that, like, kind of energy,I'm able to do the reading so
much easier.
Like, it comes so naturally.It's really freaking cool. Where
was I gonna go with that? Idon't remember. Oh, what
(22:32):
I was gonna
say was the way I do it, I I do it a little bit
differently. So for me and and Ithink that this is gonna evolve
over time. And if you're in yourown, you know, if you're
learning how to be psychic,intuitive, medium, whatever,
and, you know, it takes time tofigure this shit out. So I'm a I
I know I have this power. I knowthat I'm being guided.
(22:53):
I know, you know, that that thestuff that's coming into my head
is not just my own randomness.It is coming from a higher
power. I know this, but I alsoknow that I have certain times
of the day where I feel thispower of war. And I think that
over time, the more I the more Idevelop it, the more I'll be
(23:16):
able to access that and, like,hone into that quicker at all
times of the day. But for me,right now, I wake up at 3
o'clock in the morning, and I'mup till 6 usually.
And during that time, I'm doingReiki on myself. And I if I have
other people that need Reikidone, I'll do it on them often
(23:39):
during that time because I feelso powerful. You know, I used to
say I I and I still do this.Like, I wake up and I listen to
this sky talk to me, and that'swhat's happening. It's like, it
is so loud during that time, andit used to frustrate me so much
that I would wake up and not beable to get back to sleep.
But now I'm like, the universe,it needs to speak. And so if I
(23:59):
can do Reiki on someone duringthose time that time period,
that's what that's kinda when Iwanna do it. So if you're
looking to get a Reiki sessiondone, I say on the website just,
like, send me a note on when youtypically, like, relax because I
can do Reiki at night, like, inthe evening when you're, like,
relaxing and watching Netflix.I'm I I say, like, you do not
(24:21):
have to be just, like, layingthere, not doing anything. Just
don't be moving around anddriving.
That's the main thing. If you'resitting down or lying down, I
will do Reiki on you. I don'tcare if you're watching a show,
it doesn't matter to me, I'mtapping into your energy, it
doesn't really matter what elseis going on. And the other part
is, like, if you if you're ifyou're obviously sleeping from 3
(24:44):
to 6 unless you're a night nightshift worker, that is likely
when I will do it. So for theactual Reiki session, it's not
like I I'm not gonna say, okay.
I'm I'm gonna do it. And, again,this might change, but
currently, this is the way I'mI'm going to do it because I
know my energy, and I know thatI wanna do I wanna do this this
(25:10):
Reiki healing on people when Iknow I'm I'm in the best shape
for it. So I wanna look at,like, when do you relax? When do
you go to bed? Because those arethe times that I wanna do it for
you.
So I ask that question when yougo to purchase, and then what
you'll receive from me in thenext in, like, 48 hours, and
(25:33):
I'll I'll let you know if it hasto take longer. It all depends
on, you know, life, you know, ifI have 4 children up barfing in
the middle of the night, well,you want Reiki done? You're not
gonna have the best Reikitreatment because my energy is
gonna be all scattered, right?So, I say 48 hours and that
likely will be the case, but I'mhuman. And once once I've done
(25:59):
the reiki, I'll send you a quickemail or note saying that it's
been done and that that youshould drink some extra fluids
just to, you know, keep yourvibe up.
But then I'll also send you avoice note with all the
information I received duringthe treatment, and this can come
(26:21):
in, like it's, like, spiritualguidance, things that need to
change, things that you need towork through, stuck energy in
your body, what that could mean,how you could fix it,
experiences that you might beholding on to that that have
kept you from moving forward.There's, like, so much in there
(26:41):
that come out by just me lookingat your energy. It is cuckoo
bananas, wild, and amazing, andI am here for it. I hope you're
here for it. And the other partto all this is as you know, I
said before that I was gonnatalk about Aphantasia and I
clearly haven't.
But with Reiki, if you haveAphantasia and you're like, I
(27:03):
would love to do Reiki, but Ican't because I can't remember
symbols. This is another partwhere I was like, okay. I am not
gonna be able to pull up thissymbol in my mind because I
can't see anything in my mind.How do I go about doing this? So
I, like, I lay out the paperswith the symbols, and I think
going forward I'm gonna get,like, some buttons printed that
I can have so I can just lookat.
(27:25):
But once I've just, like, had itin my mind and I think about it,
like, that's all I need to do,and it works. So I think that
sometimes we hold we holdourselves back with putting in
so many rules, when really, youknow, sometimes it's just like
you need to turn on your powerand it's there. But I do think
(27:50):
that I'm kinda learning adifferent way, and it's more
intuitive to me, but, you know,I'm taking what I've learned
from my Reiki master and I'mmaking it work for me from an
Athantasia perspective. And, Ithink going forward once I
become a Reiki master, which I'mnot yet, so if you're reaching
(28:11):
out to me about, you know,wanting to learn how to become a
Reiki person, I'm not there yet,but I will be eventually. So
keep stay tuned.
I would love to be able to offerthis service to people who have
aphantasia because I thinkthere's so many of us out there,
and I know we're not all thesame because my husband has
aphantasia and he is not anenergy healer. Like, he he has
(28:36):
so many other amazing qualitiesthat, like, were heightened
despite his, but his, like,empathy, energy, all that shit,
he's not like, he's the yin yangto my yang. He's not he's not
like me at all in that way, butI know there is a plethora of
people out there who are likeme, who see things differently,
(28:58):
who feel things differently, andthat's what I'm here for. I'm
here to help those people whoare like me. It might be a small
niche community, but, it'sthere.
And if you have aphantasia, butyou feel, you know, like, you've
always had this, you know, senseof people or or understanding of
(29:22):
emotions in a different way, Ithink that it's worth, you know,
looking into more. And I'd loveto help guide you in any way
possible. Reach out to me for aReiki reading, but also stay
tuned because one day, hopefullyin the near future, I'm
thinking, like, maybe by thesummer, we'll see how this goes.
I will I will work on getting myReiki master and then I'll be
(29:43):
able to also teach people. And Iand I really want to kind of
lean into teaching people whohave aphantasia because I have a
really I have a really goodunderstanding of how our our
minds work, and it's sodifferent and unique than other
people.
And, I think we need to leaninto our unique unique abilities
(30:04):
as much as possible. So, yeah, Ihope I hope this podcast
resonates with you in some way.Please reach out if you are
interested at all in a a Reikiexperience, And feel free to
email me if you have any sort ofquestions. My email is
rofocreative@gmail.com.Rofocreative,
(30:29):
creative@gmail.com.
And then my my website where youcan get the, reiki treatments it
is aphantasiaexperiments.com. Ifyou just go to the offerings
page, there's also somemeditations in there for people
with aphantasia. You can find alot of it on YouTube, though,
(30:52):
and I have my intuitive readingstoo. I do off also offer tarot,
and dice readings. That'ssomething else I offer.
Basically, intuitive readings iswhat I'm kinda doing, but re the
reiki one is a bit differentbecause it involves also, like,
tuning into your energy andhealing and patching and kind
(31:13):
of, like, working and making itflow a bit differently than than
it than it is unless you havebeautiful energy and you're
coming in, like, this perfectball of of beautiful chakras.
And if that's the case, I cantell you that and be like, you
are on the right path. You're inalignment. It's a beautiful
(31:33):
thing. Most people have a littlebit, you know, some stuff going
on, but, sometimes you just needa little bit of guidance, and,
I'm here for it.
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed thispodcast. I hope there's
something in there that stuckwith you. If not,
check out one of
(31:54):
my other podcasts. There's gotta be something there
for you. And, if not, well,don't listen to my podcast

something for you, and I hopethat you continue listening, and
I hope to hear you from fromyou. I love to hear from my
fans, my listeners, and, I hopeyou book a Reiki session.
(32:17):
And, yeah, I hope you stay tunedand also become one of my
students in the future because Ithink that that will be, I think
there's a lot of peoplespiritual Aphantasia people out
there that wanna develop andhone their gifts, and I'm
excited to to to be kind of, youknow, at the forefront, like,
(32:40):
learning about all this stuff.So in the future, I'll be able
to guide people. That's kindawhere I'm at. Oh, one more
story. I wanted to say thisbecause I was gonna end, but I
was scrolling on somethingyesterday, and I came across
this video of Matt Damon on theStephen Colbert Colbert Show.
And I've had this thing for MattDamon since, oh, grade 7 or
(33:02):
grade 8? Grade 8. 1997. Iremember the year so well
because, I don't know. I I justI feel like, I don't know, grade
8, grade 7, those years are veryimpactful.
But I had this thing for MattDamon and Ben Affleck. I loved
Goodwill Hunting. My friend andI went to see it, like, 1700
times in theaters. We actuallywent it was when all of our
(33:25):
friends were going to seeTitanic because they loved Leo,
Leonardo DiCaprio, if you don'tknow. And I was like, no.
Good Will Hunting is that iswhere it's at, which I'm like, I
don't even know if we were,like, legally allowed to go at
that age because there was a lotof swear words in that movie. In
fact, we went once, and we wentjust to count how many times
they dropped the f bomb in themovie. We got bored after, like,
(33:48):
20 minutes because there's somany and we stopped counting,
but, yeah, that movie, we lovedit. Still love it. It's a great
movie.
Anyway, I've always had thisthing from Matt Damon. He
there's something about him andthe things he says, how
intelligent he is. He's a greatwriter. He's he's just I think
he's a good person. And I knowthat, like, celebrities, it's
(34:11):
hard because we expect them tobe perfect all the time.
So if they screw up once, you'relike, oh, but didn't you hear he
did this? Like, Oprah. Peopleare pissed at a bit at Oprah. I
I think, generally, she's a goodperson. Anyways, why am I
talking about this?
Matt Damon was on Steve Colbertand he said something and it was
just a clip that I saw and I waslike, oh, Matt Damon gets it.
(34:35):
And maybe this is why I'vealways loved Matt Damon is
because he has the same kind ofunderstanding about the universe
as I do. He was telling thestory, and please look it up. I
actually ended up watching thewhole interview. But he was
talking about, I guess, SteveCooper asked about his earliest
memory, I think.
And he said that recently had adream. So his father had just
(34:57):
recently died. He had a dreamthat is in the dream, it was a
visitation dream from hisfather, and his dad gave him
this big hug. And he said in thedream, he felt, it's like he
felt what it was like to be heldfor the first time, which made
him, like, remember when hisconsciousness came online for
(35:19):
the first time, like, when hisdad held him as a newborn. I was
like, woah.
It made my, like, admit, like,gave me goosebumps. I was like,
he gets it. Like, heunderstands, and I've had that
dream before too. I'm not withmy dad. My dad's still alive,
but I had it with my friend whopassed away.
(35:39):
He gave me a hug, and I waslike, holy crap. I remember,
like, every hug I've everexperienced with you through
this moment. And, yeah, I I Icould go on a whole I could do a
whole episode about griefdreams. In fact, Google grief
dreams. There's a guy that Iforget his name, but he was
(36:02):
working out of McMaster Hospitalor McMaster University in
Hamilton, Ontario.
I don't know if he's still doinghis research on it, but he I
think his website is grief dreamgrief dreams dot com or dot ca.
And he's done all this researchon grief dreams and how they can
help help with the grievingprocess and the healing process,
and I completely believe thatbecause I've had a lot of
(36:24):
visitation dreams. And everytime you have them, you wake up
thinking like, you wake upfeeling warm and fuzzy and,
like, better, you know. And forme, I always validate those
dreams. I'm like, that was real.
I know it was real because Ifelt those things that I you
know, the colors are a bitdifferent or whatever. I always
validate myself, but I don'tthink everyone does that. They,
(36:48):
like, shake it off as it's,like, it's not a real thing.
Anyways, this grief dream sky,has been exploring, you know,
the benefit of them and and theresearch behind them. So it's
really interesting.
Feel free to to to Google thatand do some research. I would
love to have him on the podcastone day when I'm brave enough to
(37:10):
have guests on. Also, MattDamon, if you're around. Matt.
Just, you know, in case yourarely listen to podcast about
yourself, I'm a big fan, and Ifeel like you've done a lot of
great things with the world inin your position.
And, I'd love to have you as aguest. So, Matt Damon, if you're
listening to this, please reachout. I also, oddly enough just
(37:34):
gonna keep rambling here. Ioddly enough have dreams about
Matt Matt Damon often and sinceI was a kid and it's always we
are at a baseball game and we'rejust shooting the shit. As a
kid, I had such a crush on him,and now I look at him and I'm,
like, I love that he's a marriedman with children and, like,
he's a family guy and he's just,like, super intelligent, well
(37:57):
read, all of these things.
And I look at and I see him inmy dreams, and I'm like, he's
just my friend. You know? So Ithink Matt Damon and I are
friends, you know, in in thespiritual realm, maybe not in
this lifetime, but I feel likewe are connected through that,
(38:18):
through the dream world. And, itit would be interesting to see,
you know, if we ever met in reallife, if he would recognize me
because of how often we're ineach other's dreams. And by in
each other's dreams, I mean, I'min.
He's in my dream. I don't knowif I'm in his, but wouldn't that
be cool? I talk to my friend allthe time about our dreams, and
oftentimes, our dreams willhave, like, parts that are
similar or, like like, we'redoing the same thing in our
(38:41):
dreams. So how often do you getto actually talk to the people
that you dream about? Wouldn'tthat be interesting?
Wouldn't it be just wild if wewere dreaming the same thing? I
don't know. Anyways, I am gonnastop talking and rambling now. I
hope you enjoyed this podcast,and I hope you explore whatever
you wanna explore in life,whether it be Reiki, Matt Damon
(39:05):
movies, or, you know, whateverit is. Horseback riding.
I don't know. Go out and do thething. You only live once, and
by that, I mean, you livemultiple times because I believe
in reincarnation. But this lifethat you're in currently, you
only live one life in this meatsuit that you're in. So take
advantage of this body and thislife because it's worth it.
(39:30):
You know? You're meant to do bigthings. So go out and do it.
Have a great and wonderful day.I'll talk to you soon.
