You know those quiet moments when you think someone’s there with you—but can’t quite explain why?
Maybe the air shifts, or a memory of someone you’ve lost washes over you out of nowhere. You’re not imagining things. Sure, it can be easy to talk yourself out of subtle sensations - but that's how you miss the beauty of the connection and the message trying to be sent.
In this episode of Modern Life and Spirit, we’re talking about how Spirit people—your loved ones who have crossed over—show up around you. But not just the flashy signs you might expect. We’re diving into the subtle, often-overlooked ways they reach out: through feelings, physical sensations, emotional waves, and shifts in your energy.
Christina breaks down the signs of the presence of a Spirit person and why they might be visiting you. You'll also come to understand the role of consistency in your spiritual practice and how it makes all the difference. You’ll also hear about the role of your Guides in adjusting your energy so you can perceive these connections more clearly—and why they’re not going to build the skyscraper if you’re not planning to walk through the door.
Whether you’ve been sensing someone around and want validation, or you’ve felt disconnected and are longing to reconnect, you'll find answers here. Spirit is communicating with you, even if you haven't been paying attention - here's how to become more aware of their presence so you don't miss a thing.
Christina Wooten helps you access the wisdom and support of the Spirit World to elevate your life.

Christina Wooten (00:28):
Hey there Kindred spirits. Welcome to
Modern Life and Spirit podcast.
This is Christina Wooten,certified psychic medium at
SedonaMedium.com I'm so gratefulto be here and share with you
today. Thank you for alsoshowing up and showing spirit
that you are ready to continueto grow, continue to develop
your understanding, to raiseyour vibration, that you are
(00:49):
saying yes to continueddevelopment in your spiritual
path. Because I promise, thiskind of thing makes a difference
to your guides. They can help usmake adjustments to our energy
so that we can continue to growour awareness of spirit. We can
grow our intuitive developmenteven more with their help, but
(01:09):
they're going to wait untilwe're really demonstrating and
really showing that we're readyfor this change. Because, you
know, you don't want to build askyscraper that nobody's going
to use because it takes a lot ofwork, takes a lot of energy, and
it takes a lot of effort. Soyour guides need to see that you
(01:30):
are demonstrating that you arereally committed and you are
ready for this change. Thisisn't like a little whim that is
coming in one ear and then goingout the other, that you are
really choosing to grow activelyand raise your vibration, that
you want to connect with theother side, and you're being
really purposeful and reallyintentional about that, and that
(01:54):
consistency is absolutely thekey to getting your spirit
guides on board and helping youeven more to make that
connection with the other side.
So thank you for being here. Iknow your guides are really
excited for this as well. Beforewe get started on our topic
today, which is about how torecognize when a spirit person
is around you or visiting you,we are going to dive into why
(02:17):
they might be doing that, andalso some different things to
really look for that's givingyou the mmm, something is going
on here, something unusual ishappening. And I need to pay
attention, and you need to takeit the next step, once you
recognize that they are there.
But before we get into all ofthat, I did want to make an
(02:40):
announcement about our podcast,so as we're recording this, this
is the 246th episode of thispodcast, which is absolutely
incredible. This has beenamazing. I have loved and love
showing up for you, being here,showing up for spirit and
helping to share thisinformation, getting this
forward to you so that youcontinue your growth process and
(03:03):
that spirit can work moredirectly with you. As a result
of that, I have entered into adifferent season of life from
where I was when I started thepodcast, and what that means for
me is that I need to be a littlebit more gentle and sensitive
with myself now, and what thatlooks like is I am going to be
(03:23):
shifting our release dates andtimes for the podcast from
instead of being a weeklyepisode, because you have plenty
of episodes, you have 246now, episodes that you can
listen to at any time that is alibrary for you and available No
matter what it is that you havequestions about, I'm going to be
switching my release times tothe first week of the month and
(03:45):
the third week of the month.
That means look for our newepisodes twice a month, first
week of the month and the thirdweek of the month. If you have
other friends or family wholisten to this podcast, please
share this announcement withthem. Let them know that this
change is coming as well, sothey're not confused about the
whole process, because noteverybody's going to listen to
(04:07):
this announcement. Noteverybody's going to listen to
this episode. Okay, so pleasehelp me get the message across
and pass this on. And as always,I am incredibly thankful,
grateful for your love, for yoursupport, for the energy that you
are putting out into the worldas well. Thank you always for
joining me. Okay, so withoutfurther ado, let's get started
(04:28):
talking about, how do yourecognize that a spirit person
is around? But first, let'sdiscuss, why are spirit people
coming around? What is that allabout? Just because someone has
crossed over to the other side,doesn't mean that our love and
connection with them hassevered. They are still really
connected with us, and in manycases, when they have
(04:51):
transitioned to the other side,they know us even more. They
understand the themes of ourlife, they understand our
personality, our. Perspectiveour challenges in ways that they
never could have from theperspective of being in the
physical body, so they're ableto love us even more or feel
(05:12):
closer to us from the otherside. That happens all the time.
So this relationship with ourloved ones does continue. It
continues a lot. And our spiritguides and those that have
crossed over on the other sidewill frequently come to the
earth plane and visit us, bewith us, connect with us. For
(05:33):
loved ones on the other side alot of times, they love to come
around important anniversariesand celebrations. So if your
family has birthdays happeningand gatherings happening of the
family, a lot of times, you'llhave your loved ones who are
also part of the crowd in thebackground, if you're
celebrating a big anniversary,or, for example, if you're still
(05:57):
here and your spouse has passedover, they come around a lot
around anniversary time. Usuallyit's a little bit before the
anniversary, the actualanniversary itself, and a little
bit after as well. They're kindof in and out around that time.
Anniversaries of their passing,they usually will come up around
that time as well specialholidays that they loved. So
(06:20):
there's some people or somespirits that I see just really
had an affinity and a deep lovefor Christmas, for example. And
so when the tree comes out andthe decorations start to happen,
they also are gathering aroundthe family, because it's
something that in life theyappreciated, they loved, they
(06:44):
really enjoyed. They want to bearound that celebration and
continue to share with you. Soholidays can be a big time that
they're around as well. Theyalways come around, and lots of
spirits come around whenever newbabies are born into the family
or a new child, if one isadopted, into the family as
(07:05):
well. They love to celebratethat, to be around them,
especially knowing that babiesare fresh from the spirit world.
They're very tuned in. They'revery aware of energies around
them, and can usually see andinteract with the loved ones who
are on the other side, who arethere to visit. So they love to
kind of COO and, you know,sometimes sing to them and
(07:25):
connect with them and justreally welcome them to the
family and the greater energy ofthe family. They love that. So
even if they're on their own intheir crib in the other room,
your toddler is probably beingentertained, sometimes by those
special loved ones that arearound, but they always like to
come around in that time, ourloved ones will also come around
(07:48):
when we are really in need of alot of support. So maybe you are
going through a very difficult,testing, trying time in your
life. You're experiencing greatpersonal pain or great personal
challenge, you're feeling verysad, very upset, or something
(08:10):
that you're just feeling isreally out of your control, and
it's creating a lot of pain foryou. Your loved ones feel that
shift in your energy, and it'slike a call out to them, just
like in life, they want to bethere to support us, to
demonstrate and show their love,to remind us that we are loved,
that we are being held even inthe moments of our deepest
(08:32):
challenge and the deepest painthat we're experiencing. They
are holding space for us in areally beautiful, powerful way.
So they come in and they checkon us. They make sure that we're
okay. And they really are veryintentional about trying to
express their love, to let usknow energetically, that that we
(08:54):
are important, important enoughthat they are leaving the other
side to be with us, to come hereand visit and make a deeper
connection with you. Anothertime that they will come around
frequently is if you're doingsomething that they would have
enjoyed a lot in life,especially if they think that
(09:17):
they can be helpful to you, ormaybe they can inspire you as
you're doing this thing thatthey would have loved or
enjoyed. So one example of thatis a few years ago, I decided
that I really wanted to learnFrench. I've always really
struggled with other languages.
It's just a part of my brainthat never really developed, and
it's just been a big struggle.
(09:40):
But I I want to, I want to beable to learn other languages,
and so I decided I was going tolearn French, and I started
studying it and taking lessonsand making it a part of my
everyday life. And what was verystrange about that is that I
around. The same time, I startedto notice one of Maya's
(10:04):
teachers, my daughter, who isnow a teenager, one of her
teachers that had passed away,started to come around and
visit. And I would see her everynow and then around that and I
thought, Why is she here? Whatis going on? And it took a while
for it to click in what washappening, she was very
(10:24):
connected in life. She lovedFrance, and she would visit
there. I believe it was everysummer. She spent a lot of time
there. She took a lot of artclasses. I mean, she really
loved that area. And she wasalso a teacher. So by the fact
that I was expressing that Iwanted to learn French, she was
in my orbit or in my energy,just because we had a connection
(10:46):
through my daughter andrecognized that she could be of
help to me, that she as ateacher, with her unique skills
and her connection with France,that both of those things
combined together and that shecould help me and assist me in
my learning of French. So Ithought that was really
interesting. It took me a littlebit to kind of put that
(11:08):
together, that that is what shewas doing, that that's that's
why she was around. But also, ifyou have a grandmother, for
example, who was an amazingcook, she was maybe an
instinctive cook. Maybe shedidn't write a whole lot of
recipes down, but she just knewwhat spices to put in something
the depth and the warmth of thespices that need to be there,
(11:29):
just kind of an intuitiveknowledge and intuitive feeling
when you're cooking. Maybeyou're cooking for the holidays,
or you're cooking for some sortof other function or event, or
maybe you're just there kind ofcooking for your family, that
grandmother may come around alot and be with you in the
kitchen as you're doing this,because she feels I can inspire
(11:51):
you. I can help you. I canimpress upon you the need that
maybe this needs a little bitmore salt, or maybe you need a
little bit more cumin here.
Okay, so our loved ones on theother side will come around when
they feel that they can behelpful and they can impress
upon you things that would bebeneficial, and it connects with
things that they generally wouldhave enjoyed in life. So those
(12:12):
are just some examples and somereasons of why they might be
visiting you to begin with. Solet's transition now into how do
you start to recognize thatthey're there? Because here's
the real challenge, a lot oftimes, people are having
experiences where theirintuition is picking up on that
something unusual is happeninghere, but it's subtle, and they
(12:35):
start to talk themselves out ofit as soon as the moment is
over, and they think, Oh, thatwas just my mind playing tricks
on me, or that was a little bitof wishful thinking. Or, you
know what, I probably justthought that because, you know,
insert some sort of, you know,logical excuse. But when we
brush these subtle things off,what ends up happening is we
(12:59):
miss the opportunity for themessage, because they would love
nothing more than for us toacknowledge them, to just at a
minimum, say hello, I see you,or Hello, I'm aware that you're
here and in the room. We cantake it the step further and go,
Well, who am I sensing andreally try and connect with
(13:20):
that. Does it feel like amasculine energy? A feminine
energy? Are you sensing someonethat you recognize? Perhaps, so
once you acknowledge thatthey're there, you can really,
like, dig a little bit deeperinto it and perhaps get the
message from that loved one whois there to visit. As human
beings, we have a veryinstinctive reaction in our body
(13:42):
when a spirit person is aroundnow that can be in the form of
like earthbound spirit, orwhat's commonly referred to as a
ghost, that generally causes apanic sensation, or panic
feeling within our body. And ourbody is kind of trying to bring
us on high alert so that we'reaware and we're, you know,
(14:03):
really engaging. A differentside of ourselves says, hey,
something is going on here, andwe need to be very aware of
what's happening. But when aspirit person, as in someone who
is on the other side, they havealready transitioned. They are
not an earthbound spirit. Whenthat person is around, we still
get these signals through ourbody. We might have that
(14:26):
sensation of that someone iswatching. So maybe you're in a
room all by yourself, and youjust feel that kind of hair on
the back of your neck, or thatsensation of someone is around,
I can feel them, or perhapsyou're driving down the road and
you have that sense of someoneis in the car with me. I can
(14:46):
feel and sense them. I can't seeanything, but I feel and know, I
know for a fact that someone isin the front seat with me. You
can have this alarm that sort ofgoes off, but it's a. Subtle.
It's, you know, unless it's anearthbound it's going to be more
of a subtle sensation that says,hey, something's going on here.
It's similar to how animals willhave a reaction when there's an
(15:08):
earthquake and they start to,you know, move, go to higher
ground, whatever it is that theanimals do in those times. It's
just an instinctual sort ofresponse. So we have that as
well, where you're feeling I'mnot alone in this room. Maybe
you're waking up in the middleof the night and you're having
that sense of I can feel thatsomeone is here. I can feel that
(15:32):
someone is also in this space.
Maybe someone you can feel issitting on the edge of the bed,
or standing at the foot of thebed, or standing next to the
bed, and you're having thissensation of, I know someone is
here, so that's a first sign,and it's one that a lot of
people brush off, because, youknow, we have been taught a lot
(15:54):
of times not to trust our ownsensations and our own feelings
about things, but instead, totrust our eyes is the most
important sense. And if you'renot seeing something and you're
looking around, it's easy todismiss that, and with our
intuition, we have to reversethat. We have to learn to trust
our instincts, trust ourfeelings, to not push down and
(16:16):
repress that subtle informationthat we are receiving, because
it is instinctual. We're havingan instinctive response to
something in the energy hasshifted, and I can sense someone
standing in my auric field.
Another way that you can tellthat someone is around is having
visual anomalies, especiallythings like seeing someone out
(16:37):
of the corner of your eye, youmight see movement, or you might
see something out of the cornerof your eye that kind of gets
your attention. And you turn tolook and you realize, oh, I'm
I'm now not seeing something.
What? Wait a minute. What wasthat? Yesterday, my parents put
down their very sweet dog, Andy,he was really the absolute best
(17:02):
dog, and they gave him a trulywonderful, blessed life. He was
a fun, interesting kind of dog,and was such a special blessing
to our family life. And theywere truly devastated, I mean,
devastated, and they came homeyesterday after that, just grief
(17:24):
stricken. And when my dad walkedin the door, out of the corner
of his eye, the first thing hesaw this was this movement. And
thought that Andy was there andturned to look. And of course,
he his physical body was not buthis spirit body was there,
trying to communicate, hey, I'mstill here. It's okay. You don't
(17:46):
have to be sad. Everything'sokay. I'm here, and I'm young
and youthful. I think that's whyhe was running. It was to be
like, I don't have arthritisanymore, I'm not in pain
anymore, to make sure that theyknew that message as well. Now
another thing that can happen ishaving a sensation similar to
touch where you are beingtouched by the Spirit World. It
(18:11):
doesn't feel as solid usually,as a physical person touching
you. It almost feels more like awhirling, spinning spinning,
moving form of energy that ismoving along your hand or your
shoulder or your chest oranother part of your body, but
(18:32):
it's more of like, there's alittle bit of a density to it,
and that it's a thicker energy.
It's a little there's a littlebit of a weight to it, but not
as strong as the feeling of likea hand directly touching you
necessarily. Usually, it feelsmore like just a spinning,
swirling energy that is Spirittouching you and trying to make
a more direct connection. Like,hey, you missed the other signs.
(18:55):
You missed that feeling that I'mwatching you. You missed that
feeling that I'm here in theroom, so I'm going to make sure
that you know that I'm around.
This also happens a lot whenpeople go into meditation,
because they enter an alteredstate of consciousness, and it
allows for more directconnection. For those that have
(19:16):
animals, you really want to payattention to how your animals
are responding and reacting totheir environment. Some animals
are deeply tuned in to thespirit world, and are really
curious, watching and alwaysseeing things happen right
around them, and so you mightsee them tracking the movement.
(19:36):
So the other day, I did areading for a woman, and I was
seeing that her father wouldcome from this one room, go down
the hall and then go to theleft, out into another room. And
so I was describing this pathwaythat I would see him walk very
frequently when he would come tovisit. And she said, Oh yes, my
(19:56):
dog is watching watching thatall the time. You can always
tell. He's coming to visitbecause he's watching that
particular pathway. One thingyou might see as well are lights
flickering or some form ofelectrical phenomena. Spirit can
affect all kinds of electricalthings. It can affect our
computers, it can affect yourprinter, it can affect your
(20:19):
light bulb. All of those thingsare very sensitive to the
electrical current of spirit aswell, and it can be very
influenced by the energy ofthose around now. Certain spirit
people who have very strongpresence and very strong energy,
are more likely to be connectedwhere there's a change in
(20:41):
electrical atmosphere thataffects computers or affects
technology. Not every spirit isgoing to make lights flicker,
okay, and not every spirit isgoing to interfere with your
point of sale system. Forexample, I know we had
experiences working at psychicfairs or shows, and point of
sale system would always seem togo down or not work as well in
(21:05):
those environments, just becausethere's so much spirit energy
that is around at that time. Soyou might see some lights
flickering or changing. Youmight see where your just
computer is not working, yourphone kind of locks up those
types of things can also be anindication of spirit around.
Now, generally, I don't use thatas a singular indicator that
(21:28):
spirit is around, because thingshappen and a lot of energy
sensitive people can influenceas well have very strong energy
and influence technology andcomputer systems also, because
your energy is also impactingthat as well. We, in fact, we
did a podcast episode aboutbeing energy sensitive and how
(21:49):
that impacts technology. So justdo a search for that if you're
interested and you want tounderstand it a little bit more.
But if you combine theelectrical phenomena with one of
these other signs, you'reprobably dealing with a spirit
who's coming to visit, and notjust your own personal energy
influencing things. One thing Inotice all the time is suddenly
(22:09):
having an unrelated memory justpop into my head, so it's not
connected with anything you'redoing in the moment, but
suddenly I just have this senseof being transported to my
grandparents house in this oneparticular room, I can feel
sitting on the couch. It's justthis memory that wasn't really
triggered by anything that I wasdoing. It just sort of comes out
(22:32):
of nowhere and then leaves outof nowhere. And I know that
that's a hello from my lovedones on the other side. And
usually it's them just coming tovisit and saying hi. I just
wanted to let you know that Iwas here. So if you notice that
we're just out of the blue, youhave a random memory, especially
if it's a very sentimental onethat pops up. There's nothing
(22:53):
that would have subconsciouslytriggered that around you that
you can tell it's probably aloved one from the other side,
wanting to make sure that youknow that they're around and
that they're rememberingspending time with you and
connecting and having thesesentimental moments together.
And the last one I want to shareis a very common one. This
happens all the time with somespirit people is unexplained
(23:16):
smells, smells that come and go.
It usually doesn't linger forvery long when it's someone on
the other side, they're justtrying to get your attention
with something that's sensory.
It's sort of similar to sayinghey. And when we have smells
that we connect and associatewith a loved one, specifically,
it's it becomes their callingcard. We know exactly who that
(23:39):
is. It's coming to visit. It's avery efficient way for them to
say, Hey, it's me. Not justlike, hey, it's a spirit person.
It's like, hey, it's mom or, youknow, hey, it's Uncle Bob. So
for certain spirits who havethat strong connection with
smells and their ability totransmit that for us, you might
(23:59):
pick up on psychic smellswhenever they come to visit. So
you might have a strong smell ofperfume that just where did that
come from? And then it's gone,cigarette smoke can come in. I
just did a reading for someonewhose uncle was coming through,
and they had worked on cars andworked in an auto shop, and I
(24:22):
had this very strong smell ofgasoline with them when I was
talking with them on the otherside. And so I'm aware of when
that person would come and visithere on the earth plane. They
would bring with them thisreally strong psychic smell of
gas. And it was just theircalling card for like, Hey, it's
me. So unexplained smells can bea really efficient way that they
(24:43):
communicate specifically who isvisiting you. It's just an easy
way for them to do that. And alot of our human memory is very
tied to smells that's reallylinked in with our memory. So
it's a good way that they kindof jog our memory as well. I was
like, hey, remember this, andthen that kind of gets us
thinking about our loved one andsharing positive memories
(25:07):
together. So here's the key,once you notice that someone is
around, start to ask some morequestions. First of all, don't
dismiss the signs that you'reseeing, but start to ask
yourself, what else am Isensing? What else is coming
forward as I think about thisenergy that is around me, what
(25:29):
are you sensing? Is there anemotion that's connected with
that? Is there a sense of whothat person might be? So take it
a little bit deeper. Start toacknowledge when you are
noticing these subtle energiesand subtle shifts, and instead,
make sure you say hello, even ifyou don't know who it is, even
(25:50):
if you don't know who isvisiting, just say hello, and
you'll find that that begins tocreate this open channel of
communication, and it keepsshowing your guides and loved
ones. Hey, you're sensingthings. You're really starting
to pay attention to the impulsesand the instincts that you're
having, and that's a really goodsign for them, being able to
(26:12):
continue to grow and developwith you. All right, everyone.
Thank you so much for joiningus. I look forward to talking to
you in spirit next time. Manyblessings. The

Christina Wooten (00:28):
Hey there Kindred spirits. Welcome to
Modern Life and Spirit podcast.
This is Christina Wooten,certified psychic medium at
SedonaMedium.com I'm so gratefulto be here and share with you
today. Thank you for alsoshowing up and showing spirit
that you are ready to continueto grow, continue to develop
your understanding, to raiseyour vibration, that you are
(00:49):
saying yes to continueddevelopment in your spiritual
path. Because I promise, thiskind of thing makes a difference
to your guides. They can help usmake adjustments to our energy
so that we can continue to growour awareness of spirit. We can
grow our intuitive developmenteven more with their help, but
(01:09):
they're going to wait untilwe're really demonstrating and
really showing that we're readyfor this change. Because, you
know, you don't want to build askyscraper that nobody's going
to use because it takes a lot ofwork, takes a lot of energy, and
it takes a lot of effort. Soyour guides need to see that you
(01:30):
are demonstrating that you arereally committed and you are
ready for this change. Thisisn't like a little whim that is
coming in one ear and then goingout the other, that you are
really choosing to grow activelyand raise your vibration, that
you want to connect with theother side, and you're being
really purposeful and reallyintentional about that, and that
(01:54):
consistency is absolutely thekey to getting your spirit
guides on board and helping youeven more to make that
connection with the other side.
So thank you for being here. Iknow your guides are really
excited for this as well. Beforewe get started on our topic
today, which is about how torecognize when a spirit person
is around you or visiting you,we are going to dive into why
(02:17):
they might be doing that, andalso some different things to
really look for that's givingyou the mmm, something is going
on here, something unusual ishappening. And I need to pay
attention, and you need to takeit the next step, once you
recognize that they are there.
But before we get into all ofthat, I did want to make an

(03:03):
that spirit can work moredirectly with you. As a result

where I was when I started thepodcast, and what that means for

with myself now, and what thatlooks like is I am going to be
(03:23):
shifting our release dates andtimes for the podcast from

change is coming as well, sothey're not confused about the
whole process, because noteverybody's going to listen to
(04:07):
this announcement. Noteverybody's going to listen to
this episode. Okay, so pleasehelp me get the message across
and pass this on. And as always,I am incredibly thankful,
grateful for your love, for yoursupport, for the energy that you
are putting out into the worldas well. Thank you always for
joining me. Okay, so withoutfurther ado, let's get started
(04:28):
talking about, how do yourecognize that a spirit person
is around? But first, let'sdiscuss, why are spirit people
coming around? What is that allabout? Just because someone has
crossed over to the other side,doesn't mean that our love and
connection with them hassevered. They are still really
connected with us, and in manycases, when they have
(04:51):
transitioned to the other side,they know us even more. They
understand the themes of ourlife, they understand our
personality, our. Perspectiveour challenges in ways that they
never could have from theperspective of being in the
physical body, so they're ableto love us even more or feel
(05:12):
closer to us from the otherside. That happens all the time.
So this relationship with ourloved ones does continue. It
continues a lot. And our spiritguides and those that have
crossed over on the other sidewill frequently come to the
earth plane and visit us, bewith us, connect with us. For
(05:33):
loved ones on the other side alot of times, they love to come
around important anniversariesand celebrations. So if your
family has birthdays happeningand gatherings happening of the
family, a lot of times, you'llhave your loved ones who are
also part of the crowd in thebackground, if you're
celebrating a big anniversary,or, for example, if you're still
(05:57):
here and your spouse has passedover, they come around a lot
around anniversary time. Usuallyit's a little bit before the
anniversary, the actualanniversary itself, and a little
bit after as well. They're kindof in and out around that time.
Anniversaries of their passing,they usually will come up around
that time as well specialholidays that they loved. So
(06:20):
there's some people or somespirits that I see just really
had an affinity and a deep lovefor Christmas, for example. And
so when the tree comes out andthe decorations start to happen,
they also are gathering aroundthe family, because it's
something that in life theyappreciated, they loved, they
(06:44):
really enjoyed. They want to bearound that celebration and
continue to share with you. Soholidays can be a big time that
they're around as well. Theyalways come around, and lots of
spirits come around whenever newbabies are born into the family
or a new child, if one isadopted, into the family as
(07:05):
well. They love to celebratethat, to be around them,
especially knowing that babiesare fresh from the spirit world.
They're very tuned in. They'revery aware of energies around
them, and can usually see andinteract with the loved ones who
are on the other side, who arethere to visit. So they love to
kind of COO and, you know,sometimes sing to them and
(07:25):
connect with them and justreally welcome them to the
family and the greater energy ofthe family. They love that. So
even if they're on their own intheir crib in the other room,
your toddler is probably beingentertained, sometimes by those
special loved ones that arearound, but they always like to
come around in that time, ourloved ones will also come around
(07:48):
when we are really in need of alot of support. So maybe you are
going through a very difficult,testing, trying time in your
life. You're experiencing greatpersonal pain or great personal
challenge, you're feeling verysad, very upset, or something
(08:10):
that you're just feeling isreally out of your control, and
it's creating a lot of pain foryou. Your loved ones feel that
shift in your energy, and it'slike a call out to them, just
like in life, they want to bethere to support us, to
demonstrate and show their love,to remind us that we are loved,
that we are being held even inthe moments of our deepest
(08:32):
challenge and the deepest painthat we're experiencing. They
are holding space for us in areally beautiful, powerful way.
So they come in and they checkon us. They make sure that we're
okay. And they really are veryintentional about trying to
express their love, to let usknow energetically, that that we
(08:54):
are important, important enoughthat they are leaving the other
side to be with us, to come hereand visit and make a deeper
connection with you. Anothertime that they will come around
frequently is if you're doingsomething that they would have
enjoyed a lot in life,especially if they think that
(09:17):
they can be helpful to you, ormaybe they can inspire you as
you're doing this thing thatthey would have loved or
enjoyed. So one example of thatis a few years ago, I decided
that I really wanted to learnFrench. I've always really
struggled with other languages.
It's just a part of my brainthat never really developed, and
it's just been a big struggle.
(09:40):
But I I want to, I want to beable to learn other languages,
and so I decided I was going tolearn French, and I started
studying it and taking lessonsand making it a part of my
everyday life. And what was verystrange about that is that I
around. The same time, I startedto notice one of Maya's
(10:04):
teachers, my daughter, who isnow a teenager, one of her
teachers that had passed away,started to come around and
visit. And I would see her everynow and then around that and I
thought, Why is she here? Whatis going on? And it took a while
for it to click in what washappening, she was very
(10:24):
connected in life. She lovedFrance, and she would visit
there. I believe it was everysummer. She spent a lot of time
there. She took a lot of artclasses. I mean, she really
loved that area. And she wasalso a teacher. So by the fact
that I was expressing that Iwanted to learn French, she was
in my orbit or in my energy,just because we had a connection
(10:46):
through my daughter andrecognized that she could be of
help to me, that she as ateacher, with her unique skills
and her connection with France,that both of those things
combined together and that shecould help me and assist me in
my learning of French. So Ithought that was really
interesting. It took me a littlebit to kind of put that
(11:08):
together, that that is what shewas doing, that that's that's
why she was around. But also, ifyou have a grandmother, for
example, who was an amazingcook, she was maybe an
instinctive cook. Maybe shedidn't write a whole lot of
recipes down, but she just knewwhat spices to put in something
the depth and the warmth of thespices that need to be there,
(11:29):
just kind of an intuitiveknowledge and intuitive feeling
when you're cooking. Maybeyou're cooking for the holidays,
or you're cooking for some sortof other function or event, or
maybe you're just there kind ofcooking for your family, that
grandmother may come around alot and be with you in the
kitchen as you're doing this,because she feels I can inspire
(11:51):
you. I can help you. I canimpress upon you the need that
maybe this needs a little bitmore salt, or maybe you need a
little bit more cumin here.
Okay, so our loved ones on theother side will come around when
they feel that they can behelpful and they can impress
upon you things that would bebeneficial, and it connects with
things that they generally wouldhave enjoyed in life. So those
(12:12):
are just some examples and somereasons of why they might be
visiting you to begin with. Solet's transition now into how do
you start to recognize thatthey're there? Because here's
the real challenge, a lot oftimes, people are having
experiences where theirintuition is picking up on that
something unusual is happeninghere, but it's subtle, and they
(12:35):
start to talk themselves out ofit as soon as the moment is
over, and they think, Oh, thatwas just my mind playing tricks
on me, or that was a little bitof wishful thinking. Or, you
know what, I probably justthought that because, you know,
insert some sort of, you know,logical excuse. But when we
brush these subtle things off,what ends up happening is we
(12:59):
miss the opportunity for themessage, because they would love
nothing more than for us toacknowledge them, to just at a
minimum, say hello, I see you,or Hello, I'm aware that you're
here and in the room. We cantake it the step further and go,
Well, who am I sensing andreally try and connect with
(13:20):
that. Does it feel like amasculine energy? A feminine
energy? Are you sensing someonethat you recognize? Perhaps, so
once you acknowledge thatthey're there, you can really,
like, dig a little bit deeperinto it and perhaps get the
message from that loved one whois there to visit. As human
beings, we have a veryinstinctive reaction in our body
(13:42):
when a spirit person is aroundnow that can be in the form of
like earthbound spirit, orwhat's commonly referred to as a
ghost, that generally causes apanic sensation, or panic
feeling within our body. And ourbody is kind of trying to bring
us on high alert so that we'reaware and we're, you know,
(14:03):
really engaging. A differentside of ourselves says, hey,
something is going on here, andwe need to be very aware of
what's happening. But when aspirit person, as in someone who
is on the other side, they havealready transitioned. They are
not an earthbound spirit. Whenthat person is around, we still
get these signals through ourbody. We might have that
(14:26):
sensation of that someone iswatching. So maybe you're in a
room all by yourself, and youjust feel that kind of hair on
the back of your neck, or thatsensation of someone is around,
I can feel them, or perhapsyou're driving down the road and
you have that sense of someoneis in the car with me. I can
(14:46):
feel and sense them. I can't seeanything, but I feel and know, I
know for a fact that someone isin the front seat with me. You
can have this alarm that sort ofgoes off, but it's a. Subtle.
It's, you know, unless it's anearthbound it's going to be more
of a subtle sensation that says,hey, something's going on here.
It's similar to how animals willhave a reaction when there's an
(15:08):
earthquake and they start to,you know, move, go to higher
ground, whatever it is that theanimals do in those times. It's
just an instinctual sort ofresponse. So we have that as
well, where you're feeling I'mnot alone in this room. Maybe
you're waking up in the middleof the night and you're having
that sense of I can feel thatsomeone is here. I can feel that
(15:32):
someone is also in this space.
Maybe someone you can feel issitting on the edge of the bed,
or standing at the foot of thebed, or standing next to the
bed, and you're having thissensation of, I know someone is
here, so that's a first sign,and it's one that a lot of
people brush off, because, youknow, we have been taught a lot
(15:54):
of times not to trust our ownsensations and our own feelings
about things, but instead, totrust our eyes is the most
important sense. And if you'renot seeing something and you're
looking around, it's easy todismiss that, and with our
intuition, we have to reversethat. We have to learn to trust
our instincts, trust ourfeelings, to not push down and
(16:16):
repress that subtle informationthat we are receiving, because
it is instinctual. We're havingan instinctive response to
something in the energy hasshifted, and I can sense someone
standing in my auric field.
Another way that you can tellthat someone is around is having
visual anomalies, especiallythings like seeing someone out
(16:37):
of the corner of your eye, youmight see movement, or you might
see something out of the cornerof your eye that kind of gets
your attention. And you turn tolook and you realize, oh, I'm
I'm now not seeing something.
What? Wait a minute. What wasthat? Yesterday, my parents put
down their very sweet dog, Andy,he was really the absolute best
(17:02):
dog, and they gave him a trulywonderful, blessed life. He was
a fun, interesting kind of dog,and was such a special blessing
to our family life. And theywere truly devastated, I mean,
devastated, and they came homeyesterday after that, just grief
(17:24):
stricken. And when my dad walkedin the door, out of the corner
of his eye, the first thing hesaw this was this movement. And
thought that Andy was there andturned to look. And of course,
he his physical body was not buthis spirit body was there,
trying to communicate, hey, I'mstill here. It's okay. You don't
(17:46):
have to be sad. Everything'sokay. I'm here, and I'm young
and youthful. I think that's whyhe was running. It was to be
like, I don't have arthritisanymore, I'm not in pain
anymore, to make sure that theyknew that message as well. Now
another thing that can happen ishaving a sensation similar to
touch where you are beingtouched by the Spirit World. It
(18:11):
doesn't feel as solid usually,as a physical person touching
you. It almost feels more like awhirling, spinning spinning,
moving form of energy that ismoving along your hand or your
shoulder or your chest oranother part of your body, but
(18:32):
it's more of like, there's alittle bit of a density to it,
and that it's a thicker energy.
It's a little there's a littlebit of a weight to it, but not
as strong as the feeling of likea hand directly touching you
necessarily. Usually, it feelsmore like just a spinning,
swirling energy that is Spirittouching you and trying to make
a more direct connection. Like,hey, you missed the other signs.
(18:55):
You missed that feeling that I'mwatching you. You missed that
feeling that I'm here in theroom, so I'm going to make sure
that you know that I'm around.
This also happens a lot whenpeople go into meditation,
because they enter an alteredstate of consciousness, and it
allows for more directconnection. For those that have
(19:16):
animals, you really want to payattention to how your animals
are responding and reacting totheir environment. Some animals
are deeply tuned in to thespirit world, and are really
curious, watching and alwaysseeing things happen right
around them, and so you mightsee them tracking the movement.
(19:36):
So the other day, I did areading for a woman, and I was
seeing that her father wouldcome from this one room, go down
the hall and then go to theleft, out into another room. And
so I was describing this pathwaythat I would see him walk very
frequently when he would come tovisit. And she said, Oh yes, my
(19:56):
dog is watching watching thatall the time. You can always
tell. He's coming to visitbecause he's watching that
particular pathway. One thingyou might see as well are lights
flickering or some form ofelectrical phenomena. Spirit can
affect all kinds of electricalthings. It can affect our
computers, it can affect yourprinter, it can affect your
(20:19):
light bulb. All of those thingsare very sensitive to the
electrical current of spirit aswell, and it can be very
influenced by the energy ofthose around now. Certain spirit
people who have very strongpresence and very strong energy,
are more likely to be connectedwhere there's a change in
(20:41):
electrical atmosphere thataffects computers or affects
technology. Not every spirit isgoing to make lights flicker,
okay, and not every spirit isgoing to interfere with your
point of sale system. Forexample, I know we had
experiences working at psychicfairs or shows, and point of
sale system would always seem togo down or not work as well in
(21:05):
those environments, just becausethere's so much spirit energy
that is around at that time. Soyou might see some lights
flickering or changing. Youmight see where your just
computer is not working, yourphone kind of locks up those
types of things can also be anindication of spirit around.
Now, generally, I don't use thatas a singular indicator that
(21:28):
spirit is around, because thingshappen and a lot of energy
sensitive people can influenceas well have very strong energy
and influence technology andcomputer systems also, because
your energy is also impactingthat as well. We, in fact, we
did a podcast episode aboutbeing energy sensitive and how
(21:49):
that impacts technology. So justdo a search for that if you're
interested and you want tounderstand it a little bit more.
But if you combine theelectrical phenomena with one of
these other signs, you'reprobably dealing with a spirit
who's coming to visit, and notjust your own personal energy
influencing things. One thing Inotice all the time is suddenly
(22:09):
having an unrelated memory justpop into my head, so it's not
connected with anything you'redoing in the moment, but
suddenly I just have this senseof being transported to my
grandparents house in this oneparticular room, I can feel
sitting on the couch. It's justthis memory that wasn't really
triggered by anything that I wasdoing. It just sort of comes out
(22:32):
of nowhere and then leaves outof nowhere. And I know that
that's a hello from my lovedones on the other side. And
usually it's them just coming tovisit and saying hi. I just
wanted to let you know that Iwas here. So if you notice that
we're just out of the blue, youhave a random memory, especially
if it's a very sentimental onethat pops up. There's nothing
(22:53):
that would have subconsciouslytriggered that around you that
you can tell it's probably aloved one from the other side,
wanting to make sure that youknow that they're around and
that they're rememberingspending time with you and
connecting and having thesesentimental moments together.
And the last one I want to shareis a very common one. This
happens all the time with somespirit people is unexplained
(23:16):
smells, smells that come and go.
It usually doesn't linger forvery long when it's someone on
the other side, they're justtrying to get your attention
with something that's sensory.
It's sort of similar to sayinghey. And when we have smells
that we connect and associatewith a loved one, specifically,
it's it becomes their callingcard. We know exactly who that
(23:39):
is. It's coming to visit. It's avery efficient way for them to
say, Hey, it's me. Not justlike, hey, it's a spirit person.
It's like, hey, it's mom or, youknow, hey, it's Uncle Bob. So
for certain spirits who havethat strong connection with
smells and their ability totransmit that for us, you might
(23:59):
pick up on psychic smellswhenever they come to visit. So
you might have a strong smell ofperfume that just where did that
come from? And then it's gone,cigarette smoke can come in. I
just did a reading for someonewhose uncle was coming through,
and they had worked on cars andworked in an auto shop, and I
(24:22):
had this very strong smell ofgasoline with them when I was
talking with them on the otherside. And so I'm aware of when
that person would come and visithere on the earth plane. They
would bring with them thisreally strong psychic smell of
gas. And it was just theircalling card for like, Hey, it's
me. So unexplained smells can bea really efficient way that they
(24:43):
communicate specifically who isvisiting you. It's just an easy
way for them to do that. And alot of our human memory is very
tied to smells that's reallylinked in with our memory. So
it's a good way that they kindof jog our memory as well. I was
like, hey, remember this, andthen that kind of gets us
thinking about our loved one andsharing positive memories
(25:07):
together. So here's the key,once you notice that someone is
around, start to ask some morequestions. First of all, don't
dismiss the signs that you'reseeing, but start to ask
yourself, what else am Isensing? What else is coming
forward as I think about thisenergy that is around me, what
(25:29):
are you sensing? Is there anemotion that's connected with
that? Is there a sense of whothat person might be? So take it
a little bit deeper. Start toacknowledge when you are
noticing these subtle energiesand subtle shifts, and instead,
make sure you say hello, even ifyou don't know who it is, even
(25:50):
if you don't know who isvisiting, just say hello, and
you'll find that that begins tocreate this open channel of
communication, and it keepsshowing your guides and loved
ones. Hey, you're sensingthings. You're really starting
to pay attention to the impulsesand the instincts that you're
having, and that's a really goodsign for them, being able to
(26:12):
continue to grow and developwith you. All right, everyone.
Thank you so much for joiningus. I look forward to talking to
you in spirit next time. Manyblessings. The
