Deep spiritual connections often run through families in mysterious ways. Just ask Cheryl Murphy, wellness intuitive and evidential medium, whose remarkable psychic abilities trace back through generations of women in her family. From witnessing spirits as a luminous "glow" in her childhood bedroom to a life-changing angelic encounter in her thirties, Cheryl shares the profound journey that led her to become a trusted spiritual guide for others.
What exactly does an evidential medium do? Cheryl demystifies the process, explaining how she receives and validates information from departed loved ones. "Our departed loved ones are actually with us," she reveals. "They watch us, they support us... sending us signs every day." These signs—feathers, coins, hummingbirds, rainbows, recurring numbers—aren't coincidences but meaningful communications from the other side.
Throughout our conversation, Cheryl addresses common misconceptions about mediumship. Energy doesn't require physical proximity to work effectively. Language barriers don't impede spirit communication. And perhaps most surprisingly, mediums can receive messages from those who spoke entirely different languages during their earthly lives, as the language of spirit transcends human limitations.
For those awakening to their own intuitive abilities, Cheryl offers practical wisdom: begin with daily meditation, even if just for five minutes; keep a spiritual journal to document dreams and questions; practice forgiveness to remove energetic blocks; and most importantly, prioritize self-care. "If you're a light worker, be a light worker, not a light slave," she cautions, emphasizing the importance of filling your own cup before helping others.
Whether you're curious about connecting with departed loved ones, developing your intuitive gifts, or simply seeking greater emotional wellbeing, Cheryl's guidance provides a roadmap for spiritual exploration. Her weekly healing prayer circles, membership programs, and recommended resources offer ongoing support for your journey.
Ready to discover the signs your loved ones might already be sending? Curious about developing your own intuitive abilities? Join us for this enlightening conversation that bridges the seen and unseen worlds.
Cheryl Murphy is a spiritual medium whose work includes a variety of ways to help people find their inner strength and make life’s important decisions. She is a clairvoyant, healer, and ordained minister, as well as a certified hypnotherapist and an intuitive facilitator.
As a psychic she is able to bridge the connection to people’s spiritual guides. As a medium she can put people in touch with their loved ones. Her mediumship skills have helped people connect with their relatives and friends who have passed over recently, or long ago. She’s helped people who (their only wish is to know) only want to know (if) their loved ones are OK and to know how much they (their loved ones) are loved and missed, while other people want help and guidance from their loved ones, concerning life’s challenges.
In her practice she also employs psychometry, a process whereby facts or impressions about a person or thing are received through contact with an object associated with the subject of the impressions. Rings, photographs, and similar tokens are often used, but sometimes the physical presence of a person may bring about images or visions in the psychometrist’s mind that correspond to real facts (sometimes still in the future) in the life of the subjects.

Welcome, cheryl, to Ready SetReiki.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited to be here today.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Wonderful.
So let's begin our journeytogether.
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, I'm an evidential medium and psychic
and it runs in my family.
Actually, I don't know how muchyou've read about me or know
about me, but the women in myfamily are all psychic.
It's really amazing how, when Igrew up, there were books
around Edgar Cayce in our houseSylvia Brown it was natural for
(02:35):
us to talk about this topic, andso my brother and I would study
at a young age or play aroundwith it, as kids do.
Light a candle, have a seance,that type of feeling.
But it really was feelingspirit and sensing spirit at a
very young age.
I'd say it came as a glow.
That's really my firstexperience with spirit.
(02:55):
It came as a light in mybedroom, a glow, and it was
positive.
It was like a family feeling ormaybe just a family of children
, if you think of theplayfulness of that energy and
they were really just coming towish me well on my journey here
on Earth.
And then, when I came into myteen years, I knew this is what
I wanted to study.
(03:15):
And then I actually had anangel experience.
Right, I had an angelexperience in my 30s where the
angels came to me at my home andreally directed me.
They spoke to me.
I had this amazing experience,this epiphany, if you will,
where I saw all thisillumination in my living room
(03:36):
and it was angels, as if theywere saving my life.
They said we're going to putyou in this lifeboat.
We need, need you full time,because I was really doing this
on the side or, you know, in theevening, part-time, always
wanting it to be more and moreof a full-time.
You know, career, for example,because it is a calling.
I always wanted to share thatwith people.
(03:56):
It's a vocation.
I feel very drawn to do thiswork, but it was with the angels
that said no-transcript.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
This found you right.
It really does.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It does, you cannot.
You cannot walk away from it orignore it.
If the spirit world or theuniverse wants you to do this
work, and that's how I felt.
I help people who have pets oranimals that have crossed over
(05:08):
even living pets and animals.
I'm an animal communicator.
I help with health and wellnessintuition, so I do those types
of readings as well, and reallylove and relationships, also
maybe a compatibility feeling.
I know that Reiki is a big partof what you do.
I have certainly worked withReiki and I've worked with other
(05:29):
healing modalities, so I'vekind of developed my own energy
healing system.
I love it, though, so I lovehow I work with my clients on
energy, and usually it is arounda physical ailment, or even
removing blocks, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
If you're wanting to manifest something specific in
your life, right right andyou'll find that many people,
when they do come to Reiki, asthey evolve, they may have their
own way of doing it and theirown system that they create.
So that's perfectly fine.
If you feel that calling I knowin my family.
Fine, if you feel that callingI know in my family your story
(06:09):
about how those in your familywho have this gift my
grandmother had it, my motherhad it, but my mother is very
Bible based, so my mother justfought this and it was like a no
, and then it's came through meand now I'm seeing my daughters.
My daughters know things we hadgone somewhere to, you know,
(06:29):
like a drive through, and it's aparticular drive through that I
go quite frequently here and Ihave a little friend that works
there and we check on her allthe time and my daughter was
here and I.
She told us a story thathappened to her that day and my
daughter turned to me and toldme some information.
She said this is going tohappen to that girl and I'm like
what?
And I found out the very nextday.
(06:51):
The girl said this is whathappened.
I'm like, oh, my goodness, mydaughter just told me this
yesterday.
So I see it in my children nowright, but it's very different
than my mother that, no, wedon't do that, that's not of God
, that's not of light.
(07:11):
She kind of really took it inanother direction.
But it was through the Reikithat it helped me kind of break
away from that culturallycreated self so that I could let
it flow in, and so I let mydaughters have a choice to it.
I mean, we're able to, you know, believe in, you know, pray and
be a part of the church and God, but also we have this ability
as well.
How?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
wonderful that you're nurturing that and letting that
come out naturally for them.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Right, right, right, and through our line.
It was very vivid, vivid dreams, like almost like you can watch
a movie and things come up, andit was just that sense of
knowing like we just knew.
How do you know?
We just know, yeah, and thatwould be a clear cognizance that
that how you just yeah, yeahand seeing you know my
(07:56):
daughter's kind of evolving itand so it's a very different.
Uh, you know, my mother wouldtake me to the bookstore.
She would go to the Christiansection and I'm like, you know,
eight or nine years old and Iwas right there with the
Christian section, and I'm likeyou know, eight or nine years
old and I was right there withyou know the tarot cards and
things and just like, get overhere, that's not where we're
supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And you know, in my family we also use tarot cards,
but we have a lot of NativeAmerican in our family.
I don't know if you do, but Iknow.
So we have a lot of NativeAmerican like ceremonies or
rituals that we do.
We learn from that type of aCherokee lineage.
So it's amazing, when it doesrun in your family, that even
(08:31):
the men in our family now, I cansay, are very, very intuitive.
I know my brother is super,super, psychic, super, you know
very much an energy healer aswell.
Yeah, so it's really the menbecoming stepping into their own
sensitivity as well.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, my son is like a master manifester, and so is
my youngest.
She's, and my oldest as well.
They're master manifestors.
I mean, just to the detail.
It's like, oh my goodness, it'sjust incredible seeing it
unfold.
And they're so, yeah, I'm justgoing to manifest, I'm not going
to worry, I'm going to manifestwhere I was a warrior Right.
And now, seeing them, it's like, yeah, it'll be taken care of.
(09:09):
And I'm like, wow, how did Imake these kids have such faith?
You know, as I was always likeworrying, so, my goodness, you
know those kids.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They come into this world with so much more, as you
mentioned, so much moreheightened awareness.
Exactly, they already know somuch coming in.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right.
Well, you work with your ownenergy.
You are an evidential medium.
So first tell our listenerswhat an evidential medium is and
what are some of the commonmisconceptions that you find
that people believe aboutmediums.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So being an evidential medium means that I
bring through or I connect withthe spirit word with the
departed loved one and I receiveinformation that can be
validated or confirmed from theperson I'm working with, the
sitter or the client that wecall them the sitter, usually
the recipient, so I bringthrough information about the
(10:08):
departed loved one's lives orwhat they used to do, or their
hobbies or their habits or whatthey loved, for example, but
information that can bevalidated, so that would be
considered evidence.
And usually there is also amessage of love, of hope, of
realizing that you know they'refine on the other side.
That is a huge question thatpeople always ask Are they okay?
(10:31):
Are my loved ones okay or arethey safe, right?
Do they know that I still lovethem and I'm thinking about them
and that I'm praying for them?
And the answer is a resoundingyes.
Our departed loved ones areactually with us.
They watch us, they support us.
Even the animals that havepassed over, they're sending us
signs every day, as many peopleright, we recognize signs and
(10:54):
you know feathers or coins,those are common ones.
Hummingbirds, rainbows, theseare numbers and a series of
numbers can be messages from ourloved ones and our departed
loved ones can be a spirit guidefor us, right.
They are helping us, they'reguiding us and supporting us,
right.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, I know it is a great, and so some of the
misconceptions I get are well,can you do readings by phone or
by Zoom, like, does it have tobe in person?
Like, how does this energything work?
Right?
But it is.
It's energy If you believe inthe power of prayer, if you
believe in the power of love,even that you can love someone
far away or that they could hearyou Even when your telephone
(11:38):
rings and you know who's on theother side, right, who's ringing
the phone.
Those are types of psychicsenses or intuitive abilities
that we're all picking up on andletting us know that energy is
everywhere, it's instantaneous,and I do believe really more and
more people are becoming morecomfortable with that too.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah, it used to be very taboo.
You didn't tell anybody and youknow, thank goodness for social
media because it seems toreally put it out there, so it's
not as taboo anymore.
I mean there, so it's not astaboo anymore.
I mean, you know TikTok andInstagram, they're talking about
it.
So when I had talked to mychildren about Reiki, they
already knew what it was.
(12:18):
They already knew about thesethings because there was a
particular person that they hadbeen watching or following, so
they were aware of it.
I think people aren'tunderstanding that it's kind of
a different frequency is if youturn the radio channel to kind
of listen into it.
I have a friend here who is alsoa medium and I remember my dad
(12:38):
had passed a couple years agoand I was doing an event with
her and it wasn't a yoga event,like a day retreat, and I'm
going around and she said Ithink your father's here right
In spirit, how wonderful.
So she started and I don'tthink at the time she would
label herself as an evidentialmedium, but you could tell from
(12:59):
how it was coming through thatthat was the direction she was
eventually going to go and shewas saying your dad's saying
look at you go, look at you, golike in saying things, and she's
I'm in El Paso, so she's livedin El Paso her whole life.
And there's just certain wordsthat we would say in Pittsburgh
that she may not be familiarwith.
And I remember I said somethingyou know, can you ask him this?
(13:23):
And she asked him and she saidI don't know what this word
means, but I'm going to say it.
And she said he said hogwash.
I'm like oh yeah, that soundslike my dad grew up in the
country.
So how much more evidence thanthat.
You know what I mean Forsomeone who wouldn't even know
(13:44):
what that is.
She's like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Absolutely, and you know.
Another misconception is islanguage.
Now that you're bringing it up,people want to know well, if my
loved one spoke a differentlanguage you?
Know, other than the one thatyou're used to, speaking English
right.
Would you be able tocommunicate with them?
And the answer is yes.
People speak multiple languages.
Come through that don't evenknow English.
But it's universal love, it'sreally.
(14:09):
It's an energy, it's a power,it's a feeling it's a knowing,
as you were mentioning.
So yeah, so really, even I'verecited a word or two in another
language, not knowing what Iwas saying, and then, absolutely
, the person can understand that.
That's even more evidence, thatthat's their loved one.
So, yeah, a wonderful way toconnect to departed loved ones.
(14:31):
It is through the language oflove, right, the energy,
absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I, since I've been here in El Paso, I'll get
messages in Spanish and I don'tknow it very well and I often
tease like I just need to go tokindergarten and learn from the
beginning and words and thingswill come through and I'm like
what does that mean?
And I'll have to look it up, orI'll ask my friend and it comes
(14:56):
through, and then I give themthat message and so it does come
, or I'll pray and just saylisten, I need my guides here to
help me.
I I'm doing my best that iswonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is wonderful that you're bringing through.
You know multiple languages andmany more people, right?
Not everyone, not everyone mayspeak English, and how wonderful
for us to be able to, or howwonderful for spirit to be able
to connect.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, yeah, I remember one of my clients.
She said do I have a message?
And I heard like La Sombra orsomething.
And I looked it up and it meanslike the shadow or something.
And I was like, oh my goodness.
And she did validate it a weeklater that something happened
that actually had the wordshadow in it.
I'm like, oh my goodness.
(15:46):
So it's quite interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So it takes you back a little bit when it's like whoa
, like it does take you back,especially sometimes when the
client or your person you wereworking with didn't understand
the information at the time butkept it like in the back of her
pocket, you know, went home andkind of listened for it or
waited for it to appear.
(16:09):
I mean, that type ofinformation that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, and lately the last six months.
I had this when I was veryyoung and I really pushed it
away.
I could you know how, like yousee the Long Island medium
walking through the store andshe would pick things up from
people and I'm sure for the TVshow, you know that's kind of
staged, but it was.
I had a season in my life wherethat was happening and I was
(16:32):
making me very scared and Ireally was pushing it back.
Last six or eight months it'sbeen coming in and I haven't
been like, okay, wait a minute,they're going to think I'm crazy
.
But then I've gotten validationand something big happened
recently where I was getting mynails done and, uh, the person
doing my nails I felt somethingcome through about her sister
and I was very concerned not tosay anything to her and I
(16:55):
thought this is gonna scare her.
And it turned out I ended upbeing correct on it and I
thought after that you know whatI really need to tell people.
But with Reiki it's interestingwhen these things come up during
a session.
We're not encouraged.
True, like a zooey, you're notsupposed to say these things
because it's ego.
So when I did my trainings myteacher was like Tracy, this is
(17:17):
your ego.
You have to place that abilityaside because I would see things
and feel things.
And so for Reiki, and maybethat's why some take it and move
on to something else.
Right, because they may feellimited if they can't share
those messages.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, it's certainly through validation that you're
finding, you know that you're ontarget, that your information
you're giving is correct.
So really asking for validationand confirmation are two ways
for a medium to know that whatthey're bringing through is
correct.
Also, asking permission youknow working with people that
(17:54):
weren't expecting a reading, forexample, but if you feel that
strong nudge that you, where youhave to say something, you know
asking permission.
You know can I work with you?
Can I give you a message?
Are you open to it?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Really, really, cause you know it is all about their,
their respect and you feelingcomfortable with them and really
understanding that you're alsosomeone they can trust you know
that that's a lovely connection,wonderful.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So what do you wish your younger self knew about
evidential mediumship or being aclairvoyant healer?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I wish my younger self would know that
it's.
There's so much moreinformation available than we
realize.
There's so much moreinformation available than we
realize.
There's so much moreinformation available at our
fingertips.
And a lot of the information isfun, it can be validated,
whether we're working with thepast, present or future, right,
where I don't say I'm a fortuneteller, but I do see
(18:47):
possibilities or potentials inthe future.
But we have free will and we canalways change that with our
thoughts and actions and beliefs.
But really, you know, lettingmy younger self know that there
is so much more available to youand to trust, right, trusting
your intuition or trusting thatgut instinct so important in our
(19:09):
work.
You know, even being an energyhealer and picking up what you
do.
But you know, trusting also,letting a younger self know look
, the energy around us is sodiverse, you know.
I think that's what I'd like myyounger self to know or have
told her is that it's a verydiverse world out here that
we're in, right.
(19:29):
So just, you know, care foryourself, practice more
self-care.
You know, keep your energy, youknow, as clean or as balanced
and grounded as you can.
That's another thing.
I'd like to get across.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right before the podcast, I was watching someone
who had an interesting take onit.
He said you know, if you're alight worker, be a light worker,
not a light slave, right?
And what that means is fillyour cup up too.
You have to nourish yourselfwith that instead of constantly
emptying your cup out andhelping others.
We always, as you know, workersof the light and those that are
(20:05):
put here to give messages fromloved ones.
We feel that need to constantlydo that, but we need to also
worry about ourselves, too, andtake care and nourish ourselves.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh, well said, well said and no coincidences about
hearing that and really sharingthat with people.
That really and I think thisyear specifically even more so
we want to practice self-care.
We want to realize, look, weall need our own downtime, we
all need more rest.
We can always get in the fastlane, definitely, but it is
(20:36):
about slowing down the practiceof really loving yourself and
caring for yourself and doingwhat feels good first.
Like you said, before you goout and help other people,
you've got to really putyourself as that priority, and
that's really not being selfishat all.
It is about understanding yourown health and your own
healthcare energy system.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So, as you're out in the world here as an evidential
medium, you know there's so manydifferent people out there
offering this.
What are some qualities thatyou look for in an evidential
medium?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, you know it is.
So look the mediumship that Ido and the mediumship my
colleagues do, that I recommendalso.
We come from, I think, a highercaliber.
We come from a really highethical perspective on how we
bring through the information orhow we even connect with people
(21:32):
where we offer our services.
We're not out there to you knowwhatever that is like sell,
sell, sell.
We offer our services and weallow the universe to attract or
to bring us the people that wecan help the most right.
So every day.
I put that prayer out into theworld.
Right, let me be this, let thisbe for my highest good, let me
(21:55):
attract those who can best, thatI can best help, or that may
have something to learn from me.
And then you, you really dohave to release it and trust.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Wonderful, wonderful.
So what advice would you givesomeone who is just entering
this type of work?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, so look someone just, and I'm working with
beginning students in thismoment.
So look, it is about learningpractices, having meditation
practices, learning about yourown energy, spending time every
day, or at least a few times aweek, sitting in silence, even
if it's five or 10 minutes, thatis a wonderful way to start
(22:33):
connecting with your own energyand then opening up to the
spirit world.
Another thing that I love toconnect with people is to start
keeping a journal right, I liketo call it a spiritual journal.
Right, For your spirituallibrary.
Start documenting any dreams orexperiences that you have and
also write down your questionsthat you have for spirit,
(22:54):
because the universe is rightthere.
The spirit world and theuniverse are our teachers.
Right, I mean, I can help you,but you will also be learning
from this amazing resource thatis accessible to you.
It's called your Spirit Teamresource that you is accessible
to you.
It's called your spirit team.
(23:14):
So, yeah, starting withmeditation and journaling are
two of my big go-tos Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And I journal every day, even if I don't have
anything to say.
I just sometimes write thankyou, yeah, you know.
Thank you that if that's all Ican do to get there, Thank you,
yeah.
So I try to do that and I mean,magical things have happened.
Magical.
And I'm not talking like Iwrite something down and it
happens the next day.
There's things in that journalthat have taken probably three
(23:41):
years to come to pass, butconsistency, right Faith, right
Belief, it's happening.
Write it down and make sure youknow I begin Thank you as I
write things.
Thank you, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So yeah, I teach a weekly healing prayer circle
which is free to join, and wetalk about prayer, we talk about
meditation, we talk about thepower of a thank you Could be a
prayer in itself, right, orbreathing can be your meditation
.
Taking three deep breaths can beyour meditation, so I love that
(24:15):
I'm also sharing with peopleabout manifesting or healing.
Color is energy right and thepower of energy that's all
around us right, I do that.
I love doing that.
We have a beautiful community.
It's free to join.
I do that on Sunday nights.
I love that Beautiful beautiful.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There's many different systems of Reiki.
If people begin a little Googlesearch they'll find all these
different systems of Reiki.
And one of the styles of ReikiI do is money Reiki.
And I had a class and we hadthe little I use, play money,
because the universe does notknow our currency here, right,
man makes up the value of thecurrency here.
(24:56):
And I was doing the class andthen I put that $100 play bill
right there with that intentionof $100 coming in, you know.
And then the next morning Idrove to drop something off at
this donation bin.
So I pull up, I get out of myJeep and there blew right at me
(25:17):
a $100 bill and I looked at itfirst I thought it was fake,
right, and it was real.
And I was just like, yes, Iwould have thought it was a
million dollars.
And I'm like, yes, I'm likethank you, el Paso, you made me
a hundred dollars richer.
That's a communication rightthere Alignment You're so in
(25:39):
alignment with the universe thatyou're manifesting even more
and more money Right and it wasjust like what are the my
daughter's like?
Are you kidding?
Like she's watching this.
She came to visit me.
She's like real person.
She's like maybe there'ssomething on it.
Don't touch it.
Like maybe there's somethingwrong with it.
I'm like no, it's here.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'd like to say and it was amazing how spirit can
work, because I offered to stepoff this flight before they left
because the airline attendantneeded the seat to fill a family
and so many vouchers were goingout and I accepted a voucher
and my father, I felt him inspirit working, saying okay,
have them book you on a firstclass ticket on the way home,
just go ahead.
And I was like okay, ahead.
And I was like okay and and I Iwas like no dad, like I'm okay,
I'm good with what I have, I'mgrateful.
(26:39):
And my felt my father workingwith the travel agent, the
ticket agent, to hand me a firstclass ticket.
And that is just amazing.
You never know the power ofspirit now want to share their
love.
They want to know that that youknow, by you giving in this
world, it comes back to youtenfold right, literally.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So what books do you recommend?
Oh my gosh, I have some reallygreat books.
Well, I always like to recommendEckhart Tolle books right, he
talks about a new earth, and Ido believe a new earth is around
, a new consciousness, right.
It is looking at this chapterby chapter, on how we can create
more of a present moment,feeling, by paying attention to
(27:26):
what our thoughts are, what'sour breath, what our awareness
is, what is happening in thisvery moment.
So I love recommending EckhartTolle.
Okay, beautiful, beautiful.
I do have another book I'd liketo recommend.
It's Barbara Brennan, hands ofLight.
Okay, barbara Brennan is anenergy worker and energy healer
(27:46):
that I did some work with andher book Hands of Light.
It's such a beautiful book tokeep for your reference library
because it has wonderfulpictures of energy fields, of
the human aura field and how tokeep yourself healthy, and
anyway, she goes into greatdescription where I still use it
(28:06):
as a reference.
It's just such a beautifulglossy pictures and I'm all
about visual and color.
So are you.
So I just I always have torecommend that book Beautiful,
beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So what other services do you offer?
Classes, events trainings.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I do, I I.
Well, right now I started this.
I'm on my second year of amembership program.
It's called.
Energy Transformation Sessions.
What I love about this and wework on Zoom and what I I love
my group.
I have a membership program.
As I said, monthly or annuallyI do energy healings.
(28:59):
That's a big bonus that I lovedoing on my energy
transformation sessions.
So, you know, along with doingprivate readings, which I do
mostly on Zoom or in person,even now that we're all back out
or I travel If you're not toofar away from me, I'll certainly
travel to where you are and Ido public demonstrations around
(29:20):
mediumship I offer a monthlycircle of love event that I do.
It's a very small, intimateonline group where I meet you
monthly so you could sign up forthat, my circle of love events,
where I do mediumship readingsfor everyone in the circle
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And you are clairvoyant, right Ordained
minister.
Yes, yes, as well as acertified hypno.
Was it hypotherapist?
Yes, hypnotherapist.
Right, Beautiful, beautiful,wonderful.
So where can we find you ifwe're interested in what you
have?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
to offer.
I have a wonderful website,mediumcherylcom, and you can
join my healing prayer circlethere, join my newsletter, which
you can take a free quiz on tofind out which psychic ability
your strength lies right.
So that's a beautiful 10question, easy quiz to do.
But really go tomediumcherylcom and I'm on
(30:16):
social media, at Medium CherylFacebook, instagram, and really
finding out what I'm doing, whatI'm all about.
I always try to keep peopleinformed where I'm heading.
Next, if I travel, which I do acouple of times a year, I'll
travel outside of California togo do some events.
So I'm always letting peopleknow and giving them my updates.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And people can tune in every Thursday, correct, you
have a little show.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I have a wonderful podcast called Seeing Beyond,
living Transformed.
That I do with a fellow medium,kelly Eckhart, and we talk
about all things spiritual.
We talk about mediumship, fengshui.
We had a wonderful numerologiston last week, so that's on
every Thursday night on socialmedia platforms, you know,
facebook, instagram, youtube,and we go on 5.30 pm Pacific
(31:06):
Time, 8.30 Eastern everyThursday.
So it's a beautiful program.
We do readings on our show too,so people can join in and ask
us a question.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Excellent.
Well, that ends the first partof our journey and I'm going to
continue to guide you into thesecond part, which are questions
from our listeners.
So here we go.
Number one how can peopleremove limiting beliefs, blocks
and old traumas?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
You know what I recommend for removing and
releasing, because that reallywill help you develop your
intuition, all right, so this isreally a great question.
Number one it does always comedown to forgiveness, right, we
have to start forgiving others,forgiving ourselves.
I always say write down thingsthat you feel are obstacles,
(31:55):
because really, the more you candescribe how they feel in your
body, the more you can feel likeyou're creating or why that
block is stopping you.
For example, you're actuallyreleasing it while you're
identifying it.
So just acknowledging that wehave a block or we're stuck can
be a big deal, just in thereleasing, but it will come down
(32:17):
to forgiveness.
That is the beautiful thingabout forgiveness is that you're
no longer holding on to it,even if it's just a little bit.
Sometimes we're still workingon forgiving or forgiveness
around certain situations.
We feel like we've done ourwork, but then it comes back 20
years later, so to speak, oranother layer of it comes up.
(32:39):
Sure, but look, we're all doingour best here, but even just
moving a little bit into theforgiveness around that
situation will open up a hundreddoors for you.
A thousand doors, absolutelyWonderful.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Number two how can people move forward from their
feelings of being stuck in life,stressed or angry?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, and there's a lot of people feeling stuck
right now and stress.
I mean we are almost toocomfortable with the amount of
stress we're taking on, right.
Or when you see people likeyou're just almost too
comfortable with that.
So look, it is about gettingout of your own way.
It is about stepping into beingof service for others.
So I would say look, donateclothing or your time or charity
(33:25):
, volunteer, find anorganization that you want to
help and step in and learn moreabout them.
That energy of helping othersor being of service is really of
a highest calling and that'llreally get you moving right.
When you find how good it feelsto be a giver, right, it feels
better to even give than receive, right Is what they say.
(33:46):
You know, then you can reallyfind out more reasons to
appreciate your life and havethat gratitude, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That's interesting because sometimes when I feel
stuck, I'll get like a littleyou know plastic bag and go
around my house and see what Ican donate, like what needs to
leave, what needs to shiftchange.
I have a little space that Iteach yoga in and Reiki and
Reiki trainings, and I do itthere too.
How can?
What do I need to?
What do I not use this month?
(34:13):
What can I move on and blesssomebody else with?
And it certainly helps me alittle bit it does it shifts the
energy right away, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Number three how can people increase their emotional
wellbeing?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
So emotional wellbeing, number one, and there
is a lot of questions aroundpeople these days.
You're just no one's gettingenough rest, it seems, or
there's a lot of people notunderstanding the benefits of
rest.
And maybe meditate more, Ithink, would be a great idea
just to help you get into thatspace.
Stepping outside with nature isa wonderful emotional therapy,
(34:54):
so to speak, or very cathartic,getting grounded back into
Mother Earth.
So, look, it is aboutconnecting with the river, the
trees, the gardening, the hiking, the walking, the animals,
connecting with anything thatcan get you here, centered in
that present moment.
Even breathing can be grounding.
Centered in that present moment, even breathing can be
(35:17):
grounding.
So I do believe all of thosethings I mentioned are very,
very helpful with emotionalwellbeing Right right.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
One of the things that helped me and this is from,
like, my teacher days.
I would teach school and have aclassroom and stop and redirect
.
You know you're going along andlike when I would be teaching
the kids, if something wasn'tworking, was it me or was it the
kids, right, so I would stop, Iwould redirect.
Let's go in a different way.
And so I've brought this intomy life where, okay, now I'm
(35:45):
realizing I'm running off highfunctioning anxiety here.
Now it's time to rest.
So it's just being very mindfuland, okay, let me stop and just
breathe.
Let me go outside, let me gosit in the sun.
Right, let me go take a shower.
So you can do that, catchyourself, but you'll have the
tools to help you through thatStop and redirect.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I love it.
Also, I like to tell people dosomething different today.
Like do something different,make a different meal to eat.
You know, when you driveyourself to the grocery store to
work, go a different route, soto speak.
Leave at a different time,leave earlier, pick up a book,
read a page or a chapter.
Like do something different toincorporate a little bit of a
(36:26):
different energy in for yoursoul yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Very good, well, that was our last question and, as
we were talking, is thereanything you may have forgotten
or something that you feelcalled to share with the
listeners?
The floor is yours.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You know, I just love to have people number one sign
up for my newsletter.
You'll always find out if I'mtraining.
I teach mediumship, I teachpsychic awareness, I teach
meditation, even Learn about myclasses coming up.
I know you'll be able to enjoythem.
They're going to be shorterclasses, not drawn out over a
long period of time, so itbecomes more feasible for people
(37:01):
to just take a few hours or afew days to practice.
Also, I want to say look, it isabout having gratitude.
Gratitude is a great manifester.
Gratitude is wonderful energyhealing into your life is a
great manifester.
Gratitude is wonderful energyhealing into your life.
Gratitude opens doors and itwill open your heart to all, all
infinite possibilities.

Welcome, cheryl, to Ready SetReiki.
Speaker 2 (02:02):
Thank you so much for having me.
I'm so excited to be here today.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
Wonderful.
So let's begin our journeytogether.
So tell us a little bit aboutyourself.
Speaker 2 (02:12):
Well, I'm an evidential medium and psychic
and it runs in my family.
Actually, I don't know how muchyou've read about me or know
about me, but the women in myfamily are all psychic.
It's really amazing how, when Igrew up, there were books
around Edgar Cayce in our houseSylvia Brown it was natural for
(02:35):
us to talk about this topic, andso my brother and I would study
at a young age or play aroundwith it, as kids do.
Light a candle, have a seance,that type of feeling.
But it really was feelingspirit and sensing spirit at a
very young age.
I'd say it came as a glow.
That's really my firstexperience with spirit.
(02:55):
It came as a light in mybedroom, a glow, and it was
positive.
It was like a family feeling ormaybe just a family of children
, if you think of theplayfulness of that energy and
they were really just coming towish me well on my journey here
on Earth.
And then, when I came into myteen years, I knew this is what
I wanted to study.
(03:15):
And then I actually had anangel experience.
Right, I had an angelexperience in my 30s where the
angels came to me at my home andreally directed me.
They spoke to me.
I had this amazing experience,this epiphany, if you will,
where I saw all thisillumination in my living room
(03:36):
and it was angels, as if theywere saving my life.
They said we're going to putyou in this lifeboat.
We need, need you full time,because I was really doing this
on the side or, you know, in theevening, part-time, always
wanting it to be more and moreof a full-time.
You know, career, for example,because it is a calling.
I always wanted to share thatwith people.
(03:56):
It's a vocation.
I feel very drawn to do thiswork, but it was with the angels
that said no-transcript.
Speaker 1 (04:37):
This found you right.
It really does.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
It does, you cannot.
You cannot walk away from it orignore it.
If the spirit world or theuniverse wants you to do this
work, and that's how I felt.
I help people who have pets oranimals that have crossed over
(05:08):
even living pets and animals.
I'm an animal communicator.
I help with health and wellnessintuition, so I do those types
of readings as well, and reallylove and relationships, also
maybe a compatibility feeling.
I know that Reiki is a big partof what you do.
I have certainly worked withReiki and I've worked with other
(05:29):
healing modalities, so I'vekind of developed my own energy
healing system.
I love it, though, so I lovehow I work with my clients on
energy, and usually it is arounda physical ailment, or even
removing blocks, so to speak.
Speaker 1 (05:45):
If you're wanting to manifest something specific in
your life, right right andyou'll find that many people,
when they do come to Reiki, asthey evolve, they may have their
own way of doing it and theirown system that they create.
So that's perfectly fine.
If you feel that calling I knowin my family.
Fine, if you feel that callingI know in my family your story
(06:09):
about how those in your familywho have this gift my
grandmother had it, my motherhad it, but my mother is very
Bible based, so my mother justfought this and it was like a no
, and then it's came through meand now I'm seeing my daughters.
My daughters know things we hadgone somewhere to, you know,
(06:29):
like a drive through, and it's aparticular drive through that I
go quite frequently here and Ihave a little friend that works
there and we check on her allthe time and my daughter was
here and I.
She told us a story thathappened to her that day and my
daughter turned to me and toldme some information.
She said this is going tohappen to that girl and I'm like
what?
And I found out the very nextday.
(06:51):
The girl said this is whathappened.
I'm like, oh, my goodness, mydaughter just told me this
yesterday.
So I see it in my children nowright, but it's very different
than my mother that, no, wedon't do that, that's not of God
, that's not of light.
(07:11):
She kind of really took it inanother direction.
But it was through the Reikithat it helped me kind of break
away from that culturallycreated self so that I could let
it flow in, and so I let mydaughters have a choice to it.
I mean, we're able to, you know, believe in, you know, pray and
be a part of the church and God, but also we have this ability
as well.
How?
Speaker 2 (07:29):
wonderful that you're nurturing that and letting that
come out naturally for them.
Speaker 1 (07:33):
Right, right, right, and through our line.
It was very vivid, vivid dreams, like almost like you can watch
a movie and things come up, andit was just that sense of
knowing like we just knew.
How do you know?
We just know, yeah, and thatwould be a clear cognizance that
that how you just yeah, yeahand seeing you know my
(07:56):
daughter's kind of evolving itand so it's a very different.
Uh, you know, my mother wouldtake me to the bookstore.
She would go to the Christiansection and I'm like, you know,
eight or nine years old and Iwas right there with the
Christian section, and I'm likeyou know, eight or nine years
old and I was right there withyou know the tarot cards and
things and just like, get overhere, that's not where we're
supposed to go.
Speaker 2 (08:11):
And you know, in my family we also use tarot cards,
but we have a lot of NativeAmerican in our family.
I don't know if you do, but Iknow.
So we have a lot of NativeAmerican like ceremonies or
rituals that we do.
We learn from that type of aCherokee lineage.
So it's amazing, when it doesrun in your family, that even
(08:31):
the men in our family now, I cansay, are very, very intuitive.
I know my brother is super,super, psychic, super, you know
very much an energy healer aswell.
Yeah, so it's really the menbecoming stepping into their own
sensitivity as well.
Speaker 1 (08:46):
Yeah, my son is like a master manifester, and so is
my youngest.
She's, and my oldest as well.
They're master manifestors.
I mean, just to the detail.
It's like, oh my goodness, it'sjust incredible seeing it
unfold.
And they're so, yeah, I'm justgoing to manifest, I'm not going
to worry, I'm going to manifestwhere I was a warrior Right.
And now, seeing them, it's like, yeah, it'll be taken care of.
(09:09):
And I'm like, wow, how did Imake these kids have such faith?
You know, as I was always likeworrying, so, my goodness, you
know those kids.
Speaker 2 (09:20):
They come into this world with so much more, as you
mentioned, so much moreheightened awareness.
Exactly, they already know somuch coming in.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
All right.
Well, you work with your ownenergy.
You are an evidential medium.
So first tell our listenerswhat an evidential medium is and
what are some of the commonmisconceptions that you find
that people believe aboutmediums.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
So being an evidential medium means that I
bring through or I connect withthe spirit word with the
departed loved one and I receiveinformation that can be
validated or confirmed from theperson I'm working with, the
sitter or the client that wecall them the sitter, usually
the recipient, so I bringthrough information about the
(10:08):
departed loved one's lives orwhat they used to do, or their
hobbies or their habits or whatthey loved, for example, but
information that can bevalidated, so that would be
considered evidence.
And usually there is also amessage of love, of hope, of
realizing that you know they'refine on the other side.
That is a huge question thatpeople always ask Are they okay?
(10:31):
Are my loved ones okay or arethey safe, right?
Do they know that I still lovethem and I'm thinking about them
and that I'm praying for them?
And the answer is a resoundingyes.
Our departed loved ones areactually with us.
They watch us, they support us.
Even the animals that havepassed over, they're sending us
signs every day, as many peopleright, we recognize signs and
(10:54):
you know feathers or coins,those are common ones.
Hummingbirds, rainbows, theseare numbers and a series of
numbers can be messages from ourloved ones and our departed
loved ones can be a spirit guidefor us, right.
They are helping us, they'reguiding us and supporting us,
right.
Speaker 1 (11:14):
Right right.
Speaker 2 (11:15):
Yeah, I know it is a great, and so some of the
misconceptions I get are well,can you do readings by phone or
by Zoom, like, does it have tobe in person?
Like, how does this energything work?
Right?
But it is.
It's energy If you believe inthe power of prayer, if you
believe in the power of love,even that you can love someone
far away or that they could hearyou Even when your telephone
(11:38):
rings and you know who's on theother side, right, who's ringing
the phone.
Those are types of psychicsenses or intuitive abilities
that we're all picking up on andletting us know that energy is
everywhere, it's instantaneous,and I do believe really more and
more people are becoming morecomfortable with that too.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
Yeah, yeah, it used to be very taboo.
You didn't tell anybody and youknow, thank goodness for social
media because it seems toreally put it out there, so it's
not as taboo anymore.
I mean there, so it's not astaboo anymore.
I mean, you know TikTok andInstagram, they're talking about
it.
So when I had talked to mychildren about Reiki, they
already knew what it was.
(12:18):
They already knew about thesethings because there was a
particular person that they hadbeen watching or following, so
they were aware of it.
I think people aren'tunderstanding that it's kind of
a different frequency is if youturn the radio channel to kind
of listen into it.
I have a friend here who is alsoa medium and I remember my dad
(12:38):
had passed a couple years agoand I was doing an event with
her and it wasn't a yoga event,like a day retreat, and I'm
going around and she said Ithink your father's here right
In spirit, how wonderful.
So she started and I don'tthink at the time she would
label herself as an evidentialmedium, but you could tell from
(12:59):
how it was coming through thatthat was the direction she was
eventually going to go and shewas saying your dad's saying
look at you go, look at you, golike in saying things, and she's
I'm in El Paso, so she's livedin El Paso her whole life.
And there's just certain wordsthat we would say in Pittsburgh
that she may not be familiarwith.
And I remember I said somethingyou know, can you ask him this?
(13:23):
And she asked him and she saidI don't know what this word
means, but I'm going to say it.
And she said he said hogwash.
I'm like oh yeah, that soundslike my dad grew up in the
country.
So how much more evidence thanthat.
You know what I mean Forsomeone who wouldn't even know
(13:44):
what that is.
She's like, what does that mean?
Speaker 2 (13:47):
Absolutely, and you know.
Another misconception is islanguage.
Now that you're bringing it up,people want to know well, if my
loved one spoke a differentlanguage you?
Know, other than the one thatyou're used to, speaking English
right.
Would you be able tocommunicate with them?
And the answer is yes.
People speak multiple languages.
Come through that don't evenknow English.
But it's universal love, it'sreally.
(14:09):
It's an energy, it's a power,it's a feeling it's a knowing,
as you were mentioning.
So yeah, so really, even I'verecited a word or two in another
language, not knowing what Iwas saying, and then, absolutely
, the person can understand that.
That's even more evidence, thatthat's their loved one.
So, yeah, a wonderful way toconnect to departed loved ones.
(14:31):
It is through the language oflove, right, the energy,
absolutely.
Speaker 1 (14:35):
I, since I've been here in El Paso, I'll get
messages in Spanish and I don'tknow it very well and I often
tease like I just need to go tokindergarten and learn from the
beginning and words and thingswill come through and I'm like
what does that mean?
And I'll have to look it up, orI'll ask my friend and it comes
(14:56):
through, and then I give themthat message and so it does come
, or I'll pray and just saylisten, I need my guides here to
help me.
I I'm doing my best that iswonderful.
Speaker 2 (15:10):
That is wonderful that you're bringing through.
You know multiple languages andmany more people, right?
Not everyone, not everyone mayspeak English, and how wonderful
for us to be able to, or howwonderful for spirit to be able
to connect.
Speaker 1 (15:26):
Yeah, yeah, I remember one of my clients.
She said do I have a message?
And I heard like La Sombra orsomething.
And I looked it up and it meanslike the shadow or something.
And I was like, oh my goodness.
And she did validate it a weeklater that something happened
that actually had the wordshadow in it.
I'm like, oh my goodness.
(15:46):
So it's quite interesting.
Speaker 2 (15:48):
So it takes you back a little bit when it's like whoa
, like it does take you back,especially sometimes when the
client or your person you wereworking with didn't understand
the information at the time butkept it like in the back of her
pocket, you know, went home andkind of listened for it or
waited for it to appear.
(16:09):
I mean, that type ofinformation that's amazing.
Speaker 1 (16:12):
Yeah, yeah, and lately the last six months.
I had this when I was veryyoung and I really pushed it
away.
I could you know how, like yousee the Long Island medium
walking through the store andshe would pick things up from
people and I'm sure for the TVshow, you know that's kind of
staged, but it was.
I had a season in my life wherethat was happening and I was
(16:32):
making me very scared and Ireally was pushing it back.
Last six or eight months it'sbeen coming in and I haven't
been like, okay, wait a minute,they're going to think I'm crazy
.
But then I've gotten validationand something big happened
recently where I was getting mynails done and, uh, the person
doing my nails I felt somethingcome through about her sister
and I was very concerned not tosay anything to her and I
(16:55):
thought this is gonna scare her.
And it turned out I ended upbeing correct on it and I
thought after that you know whatI really need to tell people.
But with Reiki it's interestingwhen these things come up during
a session.
We're not encouraged.
True, like a zooey, you're notsupposed to say these things
because it's ego.
So when I did my trainings myteacher was like Tracy, this is
(17:17):
your ego.
You have to place that abilityaside because I would see things
and feel things.
And so for Reiki, and maybethat's why some take it and move
on to something else.
Right, because they may feellimited if they can't share
those messages.
Speaker 2 (17:33):
Well, it's certainly through validation that you're
finding, you know that you're ontarget, that your information
you're giving is correct.
So really asking for validationand confirmation are two ways
for a medium to know that whatthey're bringing through is
correct.
Also, asking permission youknow working with people that
(17:54):
weren't expecting a reading, forexample, but if you feel that
strong nudge that you, where youhave to say something, you know
asking permission.
You know can I work with you?
Can I give you a message?
Are you open to it?
Speaker 1 (18:04):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (18:05):
Really, really, cause you know it is all about their,
their respect and you feelingcomfortable with them and really
understanding that you're alsosomeone they can trust you know
that that's a lovely connection,wonderful.
Speaker 1 (18:19):
So what do you wish your younger self knew about
evidential mediumship or being aclairvoyant healer?
Speaker 2 (18:25):
Yeah, I wish my younger self would know that
it's.
There's so much moreinformation available than we
realize.
There's so much moreinformation available than we
realize.
There's so much moreinformation available at our
fingertips.
And a lot of the information isfun, it can be validated,
whether we're working with thepast, present or future, right,
where I don't say I'm a fortuneteller, but I do see
(18:47):
possibilities or potentials inthe future.
But we have free will and we canalways change that with our
thoughts and actions and beliefs.
But really, you know, lettingmy younger self know that there
is so much more available to youand to trust, right, trusting
your intuition or trusting thatgut instinct so important in our
(19:09):
work.
You know, even being an energyhealer and picking up what you
do.
But you know, trusting also,letting a younger self know look
, the energy around us is sodiverse, you know.
I think that's what I'd like myyounger self to know or have
told her is that it's a verydiverse world out here that
we're in, right.
(19:29):
So just, you know, care foryourself, practice more
self-care.
You know, keep your energy, youknow, as clean or as balanced
and grounded as you can.
That's another thing.
I'd like to get across.
Speaker 1 (19:45):
Right before the podcast, I was watching someone
who had an interesting take onit.
He said you know, if you're alight worker, be a light worker,
not a light slave, right?
And what that means is fillyour cup up too.
You have to nourish yourselfwith that instead of constantly
emptying your cup out andhelping others.
We always, as you know, workersof the light and those that are
(20:05):
put here to give messages fromloved ones.
We feel that need to constantlydo that, but we need to also
worry about ourselves, too, andtake care and nourish ourselves.
Speaker 2 (20:15):
Oh, well said, well said and no coincidences about
hearing that and really sharingthat with people.
That really and I think thisyear specifically even more so
we want to practice self-care.
We want to realize, look, weall need our own downtime, we
all need more rest.
We can always get in the fastlane, definitely, but it is
(20:36):
about slowing down the practiceof really loving yourself and
caring for yourself and doingwhat feels good first.
Like you said, before you goout and help other people,
you've got to really putyourself as that priority, and
that's really not being selfishat all.
It is about understanding yourown health and your own
healthcare energy system.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (20:58):
So, as you're out in the world here as an evidential
medium, you know there's so manydifferent people out there
offering this.
What are some qualities thatyou look for in an evidential
medium?
Speaker 2 (21:12):
Well, you know it is.
So look the mediumship that Ido and the mediumship my
colleagues do, that I recommendalso.
We come from, I think, a highercaliber.
We come from a really highethical perspective on how we
bring through the information orhow we even connect with people
(21:32):
where we offer our services.
We're not out there to you knowwhatever that is like sell,
sell, sell.
We offer our services and weallow the universe to attract or
to bring us the people that wecan help the most right.
So every day.
I put that prayer out into theworld.
Right, let me be this, let thisbe for my highest good, let me
(21:55):
attract those who can best, thatI can best help, or that may
have something to learn from me.
And then you, you really dohave to release it and trust.
Yeah.
Speaker 1 (22:05):
Wonderful, wonderful.
So what advice would you givesomeone who is just entering
this type of work?
Speaker 2 (22:11):
Yeah, so look someone just, and I'm working with
beginning students in thismoment.
So look, it is about learningpractices, having meditation
practices, learning about yourown energy, spending time every
day, or at least a few times aweek, sitting in silence, even
if it's five or 10 minutes, thatis a wonderful way to start
(22:33):
connecting with your own energyand then opening up to the
spirit world.
Another thing that I love toconnect with people is to start
keeping a journal right, I liketo call it a spiritual journal.
Right, For your spirituallibrary.
Start documenting any dreams orexperiences that you have and
also write down your questionsthat you have for spirit,
(22:54):
because the universe is rightthere.
The spirit world and theuniverse are our teachers.
Right, I mean, I can help you,but you will also be learning
from this amazing resource thatis accessible to you.
It's called your Spirit Teamresource that you is accessible
to you.
It's called your spirit team.
(23:14):
So, yeah, starting withmeditation and journaling are
two of my big go-tos Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (23:18):
And I journal every day, even if I don't have
anything to say.
I just sometimes write thankyou, yeah, you know.
Thank you that if that's all Ican do to get there, Thank you,
yeah.
So I try to do that and I mean,magical things have happened.
Magical.
And I'm not talking like Iwrite something down and it
happens the next day.
There's things in that journalthat have taken probably three
(23:41):
years to come to pass, butconsistency, right Faith, right
Belief, it's happening.
Write it down and make sure youknow I begin Thank you as I
write things.
Thank you, you know.
Speaker 2 (23:54):
So yeah, I teach a weekly healing prayer circle
which is free to join, and wetalk about prayer, we talk about
meditation, we talk about thepower of a thank you Could be a
prayer in itself, right, orbreathing can be your meditation
.
Taking three deep breaths can beyour meditation, so I love that
(24:15):
I'm also sharing with peopleabout manifesting or healing.
Color is energy right and thepower of energy that's all
around us right, I do that.
I love doing that.
We have a beautiful community.
It's free to join.
I do that on Sunday nights.
I love that Beautiful beautiful.
Speaker 1 (24:34):
There's many different systems of Reiki.
If people begin a little Googlesearch they'll find all these
different systems of Reiki.
And one of the styles of ReikiI do is money Reiki.
And I had a class and we hadthe little I use, play money,
because the universe does notknow our currency here, right,
man makes up the value of thecurrency here.
(24:56):
And I was doing the class andthen I put that $100 play bill
right there with that intentionof $100 coming in, you know.
And then the next morning Idrove to drop something off at
this donation bin.
So I pull up, I get out of myJeep and there blew right at me
(25:17):
a $100 bill and I looked at itfirst I thought it was fake,
right, and it was real.
And I was just like, yes, Iwould have thought it was a
million dollars.
And I'm like, yes, I'm likethank you, el Paso, you made me
a hundred dollars richer.
That's a communication rightthere Alignment You're so in
(25:39):
alignment with the universe thatyou're manifesting even more
and more money Right and it wasjust like what are the my
daughter's like?
Are you kidding?
Like she's watching this.
She came to visit me.
She's like real person.
She's like maybe there'ssomething on it.
Don't touch it.
Like maybe there's somethingwrong with it.
I'm like no, it's here.
Speaker 2 (26:17):
I'd like to say and it was amazing how spirit can
work, because I offered to stepoff this flight before they left
because the airline attendantneeded the seat to fill a family
and so many vouchers were goingout and I accepted a voucher
and my father, I felt him inspirit working, saying okay,
have them book you on a firstclass ticket on the way home,
just go ahead.
And I was like okay, ahead.
And I was like okay and and I Iwas like no dad, like I'm okay,
I'm good with what I have, I'mgrateful.
(26:39):
And my felt my father workingwith the travel agent, the
ticket agent, to hand me a firstclass ticket.
And that is just amazing.
You never know the power ofspirit now want to share their
love.
They want to know that that youknow, by you giving in this
world, it comes back to youtenfold right, literally.
Speaker 1 (26:59):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (27:01):
So what books do you recommend?
Oh my gosh, I have some reallygreat books.
Well, I always like to recommendEckhart Tolle books right, he
talks about a new earth, and Ido believe a new earth is around
, a new consciousness, right.
It is looking at this chapterby chapter, on how we can create
more of a present moment,feeling, by paying attention to
(27:26):
what our thoughts are, what'sour breath, what our awareness
is, what is happening in thisvery moment.
So I love recommending EckhartTolle.
Okay, beautiful, beautiful.
I do have another book I'd liketo recommend.
It's Barbara Brennan, hands ofLight.
Okay, barbara Brennan is anenergy worker and energy healer
(27:46):
that I did some work with andher book Hands of Light.
It's such a beautiful book tokeep for your reference library
because it has wonderfulpictures of energy fields, of
the human aura field and how tokeep yourself healthy, and
anyway, she goes into greatdescription where I still use it
(28:06):
as a reference.
It's just such a beautifulglossy pictures and I'm all
about visual and color.
So are you.
So I just I always have torecommend that book Beautiful,
beautiful.
Speaker 1 (28:18):
So what other services do you offer?
Classes, events trainings.
Speaker 2 (28:23):
I do, I I.
Well, right now I started this.
I'm on my second year of amembership program.
It's called.
Energy Transformation Sessions.
What I love about this and wework on Zoom and what I I love
my group.
I have a membership program.
As I said, monthly or annuallyI do energy healings.
(28:59):
That's a big bonus that I lovedoing on my energy
transformation sessions.
So, you know, along with doingprivate readings, which I do
mostly on Zoom or in person,even now that we're all back out
or I travel If you're not toofar away from me, I'll certainly
travel to where you are and Ido public demonstrations around
(29:20):
mediumship I offer a monthlycircle of love event that I do.
It's a very small, intimateonline group where I meet you
monthly so you could sign up forthat, my circle of love events,
where I do mediumship readingsfor everyone in the circle
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (29:37):
And you are clairvoyant, right Ordained
minister.
Yes, yes, as well as acertified hypno.
Was it hypotherapist?
Yes, hypnotherapist.
Right, Beautiful, beautiful,wonderful.
So where can we find you ifwe're interested in what you
have?
Speaker 2 (29:52):
to offer.
I have a wonderful website,mediumcherylcom, and you can
join my healing prayer circlethere, join my newsletter, which
you can take a free quiz on tofind out which psychic ability
your strength lies right.
So that's a beautiful 10question, easy quiz to do.
But really go tomediumcherylcom and I'm on
(30:16):
social media, at Medium CherylFacebook, instagram, and really
finding out what I'm doing, whatI'm all about.
I always try to keep peopleinformed where I'm heading.
Next, if I travel, which I do acouple of times a year, I'll
travel outside of California togo do some events.
So I'm always letting peopleknow and giving them my updates.
Beautiful.
Speaker 1 (30:37):
And people can tune in every Thursday, correct, you
have a little show.
Speaker 2 (30:42):
I have a wonderful podcast called Seeing Beyond,
living Transformed.
That I do with a fellow medium,kelly Eckhart, and we talk
about all things spiritual.
We talk about mediumship, fengshui.
We had a wonderful numerologiston last week, so that's on
every Thursday night on socialmedia platforms, you know,
facebook, instagram, youtube,and we go on 5.30 pm Pacific
(31:06):
Time, 8.30 Eastern everyThursday.
So it's a beautiful program.
We do readings on our show too,so people can join in and ask
us a question.
Speaker 1 (31:17):
Excellent.
Well, that ends the first partof our journey and I'm going to
continue to guide you into thesecond part, which are questions
from our listeners.
So here we go.
Number one how can peopleremove limiting beliefs, blocks
and old traumas?
Speaker 2 (31:32):
You know what I recommend for removing and
releasing, because that reallywill help you develop your
intuition, all right, so this isreally a great question.
Number one it does always comedown to forgiveness, right, we
have to start forgiving others,forgiving ourselves.
I always say write down thingsthat you feel are obstacles,
(31:55):
because really, the more you candescribe how they feel in your
body, the more you can feel likeyou're creating or why that
block is stopping you.
For example, you're actuallyreleasing it while you're
identifying it.
So just acknowledging that wehave a block or we're stuck can
be a big deal, just in thereleasing, but it will come down
(32:17):
to forgiveness.
That is the beautiful thingabout forgiveness is that you're
no longer holding on to it,even if it's just a little bit.
Sometimes we're still workingon forgiving or forgiveness
around certain situations.
We feel like we've done ourwork, but then it comes back 20
years later, so to speak, oranother layer of it comes up.
(32:39):
Sure, but look, we're all doingour best here, but even just
moving a little bit into theforgiveness around that
situation will open up a hundreddoors for you.
A thousand doors, absolutelyWonderful.
Speaker 1 (32:54):
Number two how can people move forward from their
feelings of being stuck in life,stressed or angry?
Speaker 2 (33:01):
Yeah, and there's a lot of people feeling stuck
right now and stress.
I mean we are almost toocomfortable with the amount of
stress we're taking on, right.
Or when you see people likeyou're just almost too
comfortable with that.
So look, it is about gettingout of your own way.
It is about stepping into beingof service for others.
So I would say look, donateclothing or your time or charity
(33:25):
, volunteer, find anorganization that you want to
help and step in and learn moreabout them.
That energy of helping othersor being of service is really of
a highest calling and that'llreally get you moving right.
When you find how good it feelsto be a giver, right, it feels
better to even give than receive, right Is what they say.
(33:46):
You know, then you can reallyfind out more reasons to
appreciate your life and havethat gratitude, yeah.
Speaker 1 (33:53):
That's interesting because sometimes when I feel
stuck, I'll get like a littleyou know plastic bag and go
around my house and see what Ican donate, like what needs to
leave, what needs to shiftchange.
I have a little space that Iteach yoga in and Reiki and
Reiki trainings, and I do itthere too.
How can?
What do I need to?
What do I not use this month?
(34:13):
What can I move on and blesssomebody else with?
And it certainly helps me alittle bit it does it shifts the
energy right away, doesn't it?
Speaker 2 (34:23):
Yeah, yeah, it does, it does.
Speaker 1 (34:25):
Number three how can people increase their emotional
wellbeing?
Speaker 2 (34:30):
So emotional wellbeing, number one, and there
is a lot of questions aroundpeople these days.
You're just no one's gettingenough rest, it seems, or
there's a lot of people notunderstanding the benefits of
rest.
And maybe meditate more, Ithink, would be a great idea
just to help you get into thatspace.
Stepping outside with nature isa wonderful emotional therapy,
(34:54):
so to speak, or very cathartic,getting grounded back into
Mother Earth.
So, look, it is aboutconnecting with the river, the
trees, the gardening, the hiking, the walking, the animals,
connecting with anything thatcan get you here, centered in
that present moment.
Even breathing can be grounding.
Centered in that present moment, even breathing can be
(35:17):
grounding.
So I do believe all of thosethings I mentioned are very,
very helpful with emotionalwellbeing Right right.
Speaker 1 (35:21):
One of the things that helped me and this is from,
like, my teacher days.
I would teach school and have aclassroom and stop and redirect
.
You know you're going along andlike when I would be teaching
the kids, if something wasn'tworking, was it me or was it the
kids, right, so I would stop, Iwould redirect.
Let's go in a different way.
And so I've brought this intomy life where, okay, now I'm
(35:45):
realizing I'm running off highfunctioning anxiety here.
Now it's time to rest.
So it's just being very mindfuland, okay, let me stop and just
breathe.
Let me go outside, let me gosit in the sun.
Right, let me go take a shower.
So you can do that, catchyourself, but you'll have the
tools to help you through thatStop and redirect.
Speaker 2 (36:04):
I love it.
Also, I like to tell people dosomething different today.
Like do something different,make a different meal to eat.
You know, when you driveyourself to the grocery store to
work, go a different route, soto speak.
Leave at a different time,leave earlier, pick up a book,
read a page or a chapter.
Like do something different toincorporate a little bit of a
(36:26):
different energy in for yoursoul yeah.
Speaker 1 (36:29):
Very good, well, that was our last question and, as
we were talking, is thereanything you may have forgotten
or something that you feelcalled to share with the
listeners?
The floor is yours.
Speaker 2 (36:38):
You know, I just love to have people number one sign
up for my newsletter.
You'll always find out if I'mtraining.
I teach mediumship, I teachpsychic awareness, I teach
meditation, even Learn about myclasses coming up.
I know you'll be able to enjoythem.
They're going to be shorterclasses, not drawn out over a
long period of time, so itbecomes more feasible for people
(37:01):
to just take a few hours or afew days to practice.
Also, I want to say look, it isabout having gratitude.
Gratitude is a great manifester.
Gratitude is wonderful energyhealing into your life is a
great manifester.
Gratitude is wonderful energyhealing into your life.
Gratitude opens doors and itwill open your heart to all, all
infinite possibilities.
Speaker 1 (37:22):

out of your very busy scheduleto join me on this journey.
Speaker 2 (37:27):
