Yes, so filled with hope that Imean from the day I met him,
filled with hope and just such alight and, like you said, just
so gentle and so loving.
And you know that that feeling,feeling of hope, of calm and
peace, that's what you feel whenyou're with Miguel.
(00:45):
So I encourage everybody tolisten in and just kind of relax
and enjoy the conversation.
He is the real deal, check itout.
Speaker 1 (00:59):
Hey everybody, we are so excited to be here with
Miguel Gonzalez, who is somebodythat we've come to know and
love, but first met him throughthe wonderful work that he does,
and we've both been clients ofhis as well and are so grateful
for his wonderful insights, hisextraordinary perceptions and
(01:21):
his very gentle loving spirit.
Miguel is a medium, and thatmanifests in a variety of ways,
and we're going to talk to himabout that work and his journey
and what brings him here.
You're going to want to knowall about Miguel as well.
So, miguel, thank you, thankyou, thank you for being here
with us.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you, I'm excited to share.
You know what spirit hasbrought upon my life, and so
thank you for this opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yes, well, you're so welcome and thank you.
And so, exactly that, whatspirit has brought upon, you
know, has brought this about?
Because, like nobody is alittle kid going, hey, I want to
grow up and be a medium.
That's not really what happens,but here you are and, like I
can attest, you are so good atwhat you do it for a variety of
(02:16):
reasons.
You are super insightful, veryclear, very on target and
incredibly loving and kind.
So all of that's wonderful, butcan you tell us a little bit
about really what did bring youto this journey and where you
(02:37):
are today?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Big question it is a big question, you know.
I think that many of us can seedifferent parts of our life,
that I always wondered whathappens when we die.
I only had the answer fromreligion you either go to heaven
(03:12):
or you go to hell, and that isterrifying.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So I was like, okay, that's a little frightening.
And so I had that questionwithin myself for many, many,
many years.
And when I was 26, about toturn 27, I had this dream
visitation of the Lady ofGuadalupe at her feet, and I
(03:48):
couldn't believe that I wasseeing her because it felt more
than just a dream.
It felt very real.
Yeah, the colors around herwere incredible.
And so I woke myself up fromthat that space because I just
couldn't believe it.
But when I woke up from thatspace, the room felt different.
It didn't feel like the sameroom I had first gone off to
(04:09):
sleep.
There was a different energyand a love that was very present
.
Wow.
And the following two days afterthat night she would come back
into the room and I would seelike this constellation of stars
that would form her shape.
And from that there wasn'tnecessarily like communication
(04:30):
word to word In my soul I knew Ineed to make changes in my life
because there's somethingthat's to come.
Like that's all that I knewwithin me, that I needed to make
changes to embrace what wascoming.
And that really was thebeginning of my journey with
spirit, consciously, fully aware.
(04:51):
And also the visitations frommy grandma.
After that, visitation from theLady of Guadalupe, where my
grandma would come in and shewould tell me things.
I don't know if this is reallyyou, grandma.
So I had to go and call my momand confirm like mom, is this
real?
And some of the things shedidn't know about but came to be
(05:12):
.
So that's how I learned toreally trust that, okay, this is
my grandmother, this is herspirit, because I could feel it.
It's been a wonderful journeysince then.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, wow.
So I'm curious because 26, 27,that's still fairly young like
trying to figure out what yourrole is in life, what you're
supposed to do maybe for schoolor for career wise, was there a
different path you were on thatthen took you this way?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yes, I had recently, a couple years just graduated
from college.
I received my bachelor's infine arts so drawing and
painting.
Gone to art school, my idea oflife was I'm going to be a
gallery artist, a painter.
That's my dream.
And then spirit came along andthings have changed for the
(06:03):
better.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I feel, yes, can I ask?
So?
Here's the thing, because I,you know I come up against this
with a number of people just inthe world and doing the work
that I do as well that there arethose who you know are raised
in a lot of fear regarding theafterlife.
You talked about you.
You know heaven, hell.
(06:24):
That seemed very scary thatthese are the options.
I mean, what else is, what elsecan we know?
And so, somehow, some way, whenyou had the dream visions that
you did and then the knowingnessthat you did, you were able,
through the validations, andthat's important, but you were
able to go to trust.
Validations, and that'simportant, but you were able to
(06:44):
go to trust rather than the fearwhich many people that that is
the wall they cannot go past,that they're afraid of their own
knowing Because, as you said,all of us have experiences of
what we see, we know, but manypeople shut that down.
How is it that you were able towalk through that into trust?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Well, that's a really good question.
You know the way it felt for me.
The way that it felt it did notfeel scary or frightening.
There was, of course, that bitof hesitation within my mind and
reality, because previous tothis, I wasn't truly aware of
communicating with spirit, likehaving communication with them,
(07:31):
and so for me, it was reallyabout the feeling, the love that
they brought forward thathelped me not to be afraid of it
, and I feel that you know ourjourneys and the direction of
life that we head into all havea beautiful purpose.
Of course, some can be verypainful, some can be very
(07:51):
beautiful and happy, but there'salways a reason, and prior to
arriving at this, you knowvisitation with the lady and my
own spiritual awakening I hadalready been away from home for
a good like, maybe five or sixyears.
And this was my first time beingfully away from my family, and
(08:13):
I feel that that was important,because I needed to find and
discover who I was as a person,as a soul, and not have the
influence of my family that I'vehad for my entire life, and so
I feel that part of that hadsomething to play in it as well,
that I was at a point where Iwas very open to new
(08:38):
possibilities and new ideas aswell, yeah, yeah, you know I
love hearing that yourbackground was in fine arts
because I think when I first metyou several years ago now it
seems you were kind ofpracticing your.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Your could draw a face that looked like a person
where you know.
That would take me probablymonths or years to do, but then
how accurate your sketches wereto all of our loved ones in
(09:16):
spirit.
And so I love to see that thisspirit connection merged with
your, really your educationright To allow you to do this
phenomenal service for people ofsketching their loved ones
today in the afterlife, but asif they're right here with us.
(09:39):
So just I'll say, like for me,the hope that I received from
that was the knowledge that theystill exist and they still look
like a person.
It's not that they're just dustlike we learn that they are
right.
There's so much more than that.
(09:59):
And also, while I had thisthought of my gosh, I'm never
going to have a new picture withmy loved one all of a sudden
here was a brand new picture ofmy loved one which was just so
hopeful, so absolutely beautiful.
So I love that you're able tomerge kind of this, what you
thought was going to be yourcareer with this whole other
(10:21):
path.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, how did you come by that, Miguel?
So that's a very particularplace to take your knowing.
How did you come to do that?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, you know, so early on in my development, as I
was sitting in for circles andworkshops, my mentors began
speaking of other mediums, andso some of those mediums began
to include spirit artists and Iwas curious like, oh, what does
that mean?
And for the first few years Iwas very curious about it and I
(10:52):
discovered some spirit artistsfrom the past and that they were
able to draw the portrait ofloved ones, and so that was like
, huh, well, I can already drawpeople that are in front of me.
I wonder if I can blend thiswith the mediumship, and so then
that was its own journey of itsown path of trying to
understand how to bridge thistogether.
(11:14):
And it's really fascinating forme because, although I had this
understanding of how to drawand perceive information and
place it on paper, it's like Ihad to let go of all of that and
just surrender to trust fromspirit and myself, and that was
(11:37):
quite a challenge for some time,but it's part of the process of
spirit also helping us to findthat space within ourselves to
own and trust and rely on, whichis beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, given people a lot of hope.
You know, myself included, butI know people that have.
We're in circles with you and Iknow people who have been your
clients, who have talked abouthow amazing it is and how
hopeful it is, and I wonder then, what gives you hope?
Where do you find hope?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Those are all such great questions.
You know, I feel that my hopecomes from connecting to God and
the love that I have around me,both living and in spirit, and
when I truly believed in myself,also from spirit sharing with
(12:42):
me and the experience that lifewas eternal.
That changed something withinme, that there's this, there's
something really beautiful tolook forward to once we
transition from the space, andthat is that space many can call
heaven I'll call it heaven tooof where we are going to be in
(13:06):
the purest vibration of love,and that brings to me great hope
in my life, but what I'm doing.
Also that there are alwayssouls around helping and guiding
during this time.
And so, yeah, thank you forthat question.
Never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Have you yourself worked with mediums along the
way who have you know, have readfor you, and from whom, I mean
I'm assuming so but from whomyou've learned and taken, you
know, a little bit training fromwhat they do?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yes, absolutely.
My first mentor was MichaelMayo, and so he was a really
great foundation in being ableto just be in a space of
allowing and allowing to come inand just embrace that space.
So he was really wonderful.
(14:04):
I've also and I'm takingcurrently classes with Eileen
Davies oh yeah, wonderful,wonderful soul and medium.
I've also taken courses withJoe Bradley for trans mediumship
as well Bradley for transmediumship as well.
(14:26):
So I feel like I've had areally wonderful array of
different souls that have really, you know, honored their skills
and their connection to spirit,and so that's been, that's been
a blessing.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
And I must also mention Julie Ketel as well, who
was very supportive of myjourney with trance as well,
(14:55):
continuing your learning, andthat there are whole schools of
training.
But there are great trainersand mentors, teachers out there
with whom one can work, so thatit's a, it's an evolution.
I think a lot of people justthink, well, either you have
this thing right or you don't,and that's just it.
So can you talk a little bitabout that, about what it is to
(15:17):
train in this science and art ofmediumship?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, you know, I feel and I believe that
everybody has the ability toconnect.
Yes, it's just understandinghow to connect and be aware of
the energy and presence ofspirit and how they're
communicating with you.
Right, that's where thetraining comes into place yeah,
it's allowing you to understandthat process of communications
(15:47):
through the senses of you know,clairvoyance, clairaudience and
understanding how you receiveand perceive the information
that is being given to you byspirit yeah it, didn't it?
I see it also.
You know, with anything, ifthere's some there, if there's
talent or interest, um, withanything if it's music, singing,
(16:09):
um, do you still go through theprocess of some training?
To understand and grow thatskill.
So it's very much similar tothat with art as well.
Or if you're interested in law,then you go to school for it as
well, own that skill.
So it's very similar in thatmanner.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, I love hearing you say that, because I know for
myself as and I still say, youknow a developing medium, a
beginning medium, and I wouldsay like, well, why don't you
just tell me the words you wantme to say?
Don't make me play this charadegame.
Right?
And it was learning how tocommunicate differently.
And then I was also finding inthe journey that loved ones on
(16:51):
the other side also wanted tolearn how to communicate
differently.
So if they were always going toa medium and sharing something
in one kind of modality, theywanted to do something different
.
So maybe it is through art, orit's through music, or it's
through, you know, symbols, orit's through words or
electricity or whatever it is,but they want to experience
(17:13):
growth in their communication onthat plane, just like we're
doing here, which is fascinating, yeah, yeah.
So I know we're talking aboutmediumship, but I also follow,
miguel, the artwork that you'redoing, and I know they're
spirit-driven art and then notspirit.
(17:34):
Well, I guess I'm not going tocall it spirit art, but maybe
you would.
The other artwork that you'redoing, these amazing floral
pictures and full portraits thatI don't think are done while
you're practicing mediumship,but maybe you are always
connected and it's always drivenby spirit.
So I would love for you to talka little bit just about kind of
(17:58):
that art process also.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, absolutely, thank you, and you know, to some
degree I feel that spirit isalways involved with whatever
we're doing creatively.
Spirit, the influence, is goingto be there, and that was
something that I became aware ofwhen painting those roses or
portraits, was that I couldconnect intentionally and invite
(18:22):
spirit to guide and work withme.
And so I do do that with them,even if I have a reference that
I'm working from.
But what happens is that I moveand they help me to move into
this space of fluidity where theenergy can just pass and it's
(18:43):
really magical and beautifulbecause it's as it's happening.
I don't feel like I have tothink about it much, it's just
oh, I see red, I'm gonna add red.
Oh, there's green.
Okay, I need to add more green.
I need to do this yeah but Ifeel their influence and I just
allow it to happen.
And I find that when I'm reallyin that space, it's like I also
(19:05):
become the observer of what hastaken place on the canvas when
we're done, because I'm in thisaltered space of just I'm here
but I'm not here, and workingtogether.
I'm here but I'm not here andwe're working together, and so
(19:37):
that has been very much a partof my practice.
Now, when I do paint, or evenwhen I'm teaching students how
to paint and draw, I just inviteGod and spirit, because they're
always happy and willing tohelp us.
And I find that sometimes, whenI'm like teaching someone you
know a process to painting anddrawing, the words that start
flowing in my mind actuallyconnect to what they're
experiencing.
Right, well, let's think aboutart this way.
This happens in life, but let's, let's try it this way, wow.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I understand so well what you're talking about.
I say these same things.
I'm also a writer by professionand the place where I engage in
my writing, in that flow, isvery similar to the place of my
mediumship, which I do as well.
It is a similar space where Iconnect and I receive and I open
(20:21):
myself and as I talk about that, I say you know, I don't
experience, you know thewriter's block that people talk
about, because he just thatopenness and flow is a place
where there's constantcreativity, constant that we can
access.
So it's interesting I've notheard somebody else speak about
that in quite the same way.
(20:42):
And yes, yes, I get that.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, I like the idea of what you've said.
If I understand it correctly,is you're doing this artwork and
you are so, I guess, soconnected and almost maybe it's
almost out of body as you'redoing this that when you finish
and you take a break because Iknow your pictures can take some
time when you take a break andget to step back and look at the
(21:09):
picture, it's like you'relooking at it, just like we are
observing it for the first time,like oh, wow, look at this and
look at the color or look at theshapes.
And it's interesting becauseI've seen some of your artwork
where I feel like that is whenI'm connected and I'm seeing
these colors that I imagine arenot in this world, that are
(21:34):
otherworldly.
You see them in your portraits,in your paintings, and I'm
thinking of one specific I thinkit was roses, a floral painting
, where there were just thesecolors.
I'm like where do those colorsexist?
Like they must exist somewhere,but very otherworldly, I think.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh, thank you so much .
Thank you, and I feel that'sthe influence of spirit coming
in.
And, you know, as the mediumsourselves, we just have to allow
it to come through, and one ofthe things that I'm really
working on is not judging itafterwards and just allowing it
(22:13):
to be and then coming back to itwith an open heart, open mind
and just continuing, because ahuman mind wants to always be so
analytical.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yes, yeah, wants to like nitpick.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh well, I can do this, I can change that, but I'm
like nope, just let it be, Letit go.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, and I could imagine that from your training
as an artist that there's alwaysthis analytical piece of it
that is part of schooling rightand having to let go of that
that's.
That's good for those of usthat are developing our
(22:49):
mediumship in other ways to justkind of remember that, that
there is this letting go and notjudging.
And yeah, because that's schoolis about the grades you get
right, it's about the finishedproduct of the grades you get.
So unlearning that.
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So, as you've been on this journey of unfoldment and
development, evolution, allthese wonderful things coming to
pass through your acceptance ofthem, it's a beautiful place to
be.
What if you were able to goback and talk to your younger
self, maybe like that preteen12-year-old, 13-year-old guy,
(23:23):
Miguel?
What would he say about youtoday and where you are today?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I feel that that young boy, miguel, would be very
proud of where we are now.
I really I do feel that Becausewe have put in the work to
change the things that have notworked within our life and have
embraced God and continue toembrace God to help us to lead
(23:51):
forward a life of love and to beof service to spirit.
And that, I feel, just bringsgreat joy to my heart and my
life.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's gorgeous.
And also, I think everyonelistening is noticing that you
just brought young Miguel alongwith you and that he is very
present with you now, and it'sthe we who are here today.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, I love that.
So.
So who inspires you in yourlife, in this process?
I?
My first answer is well, it'sgot to be God, it's got to be
spirit, but but I wonder ifthat's your answer and if
there's anybody on this kind ofplane that that inspires you.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I do have several people that inspire me, and
those are my peers, that aremediums, that are artists,
friends and family, and it is inthe way that they are
themselves as beautiful souls,as beings, that I really connect
to a lot.
(24:59):
You know, what you donecessarily isn't so much the
impressive part, but it's thequality of the person that you
are that I'm really drawn to,and so that's what inspires me
when I can see someone actuallybe kind in the way that they're
responding yes and communicatingor going out of their way to
(25:22):
check on someone.
Just being at space is is reallyhumbling, uh, to be able to
experience yeah, so it's it'salways evolving, it's always
changing and growing and, youknow, it can also be the little
kids that I teach at the placethat I'm at, that you know,
third or fifth graders.
They also inspire me too,because they're so fearless.
(25:45):
They're so fearless and socommitted to their life as in
what they want to do, that it'slike that's it.
They're committed, and thattakes so much strength and
willpower to really honoryourself in such a way that,
yeah, there's always inspirationthere too.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yes, beautiful, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Like kids know that and somehow we often unlearn
that as we become adults and,you know, need to learn it again
.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And we talk about children being the teachers for
sure they are are well, if we'llallow it, right, yeah, yeah, so
inspiring yeah, if we could alllive kind of that, that life of
wonder you know um, just thatyou have, when you're the little
you know to, to look at theworm and totally love this worm,
instead of thinking, oh, I'vegot to get rid of the worm,
(26:36):
right, just right, what?
Yeah, I get down and dirty withhim, so yeah cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay.
So, miguel, do you have a kindof philosophy of life or a motto
that guides you in your, yourday-to-day?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
yes, I do, and that is.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's a hard one to still really fully experience,
but just to surrender and trustgod it is a hard one and but
such a potent one, right andjust so powerful and
transformative and man we are,we struggle with resistance to
(27:16):
that surrender.
Surrender yeah, we had adifferent somebody, actually one
of our sisters.
Come on and talk about thattopic.
And talk about surrenderdoesn't mean like, oh, just
giving up, I just quit.
It is turning it over andtrusting and letting yourself
(27:38):
just go with it, which is a verydifferent thing.
Can you talk a little bit moreabout what surrender is and what
it is to you?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, for me, you know, it is trusting that things
are going to work out in oneway or another.
But I have to surrender and letgo of the control or the way
that I want it to be and just goalong with the experience and
that's something wonderful isgoing to happen.
Whether it's negative orpositive, both will lead me to
(28:09):
where I'm supposed to go, andthat's that's been the the path
that I've been on for some timehere, and I also have really
great support from my guide,braveheart.
When you know, life gets alittle bit overwhelming, the
anxiety comes up and it's likeI'm thinking about the future or
things to come.
(28:29):
He calms me down and reminds meto focus in the present.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And when I fully embrace that.
It's quite powerful toexperience, because then the
nervous system also follows thatand there's calmness and
there's gratitude, calmness andthere's gratitude.
And so it's been reallybeautiful to also experience
(28:55):
that with my guide, when he cancome in and just share those
little tidbits of yeah yeah,it's like well, if it's not
happening right now, then youdon't have to think about it,
Let it go.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, I love that.
Do you have any tools topractice that allow you to stay
in the present?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Oh, connecting to my breath, I would say Connecting
to my breath, and I go throughthis little self-talk of where I
talk to myself Okay, miguel,you are right here right now.
This is happening at this verymoment.
You are safe, you are all right, you don't have to worry about
it.
When you get there, you canaddress it, it's going to be
(29:30):
okay.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, I like that.
Can I ask, because youmentioned your guide, braveheart
, and I don't know if you'rewanting to share with us a
little bit of like how did youcome to know your guide?
How did did your guide find you?
Did you find your guide?
How did that come about?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yes, thank you.
Braveheart has been with me mywhole life.
I just was not aware of it, butI can think back to experiences
of when I was little, of how Iwould feel when I came near or
around Native American cultureor music.
He's Native American and I'llremember.
(30:12):
I do remember this.
There was an assembly that wehad when I was in fifth grade
where dancers came in and theywere Native American and I could
just feel something in my heart.
So he was then, and so thoseare the moments that I think
back to Braveheart being therewith me in those moments.
But I came to really be awareof him in a gradual way.
(30:40):
The first connection that I madewith him was when I sat for a
trance, blending by myself,blending by myself and through
that I experienced this, thislife of this soul, and what he
went through, and this was veryearly on in my journey and I,
I'll be honest, I dismissed itbecause I was like, oh, it's my
(31:01):
mind, and so time passes by andI come across.
What is it?
Sorry, I have too many Eileen'sor Elaine's in my life.
Elaine Thorpe Sorry, elaineThorpe.
I came across Elaine and Ibooked a session with her and
her wonderful, beautiful guide,Jonathan, that communicates
(31:23):
through her was very helpfulduring that time of my life.
But in that session Braveheartcame through and spoke to me and
it was the love that I felt inthat moment, as he was
expressing those beautiful wordsof love and appreciation
(31:44):
towards me, that really broughtthis curiosity of like.
Who is this man, like, who isthis brave heart?
And so after that Iintentionally would sit in the
silence and I would invite himlike please join me, be with me.
And over time that bond andthat energy built up to his more
(32:06):
stronger and stronger.
And then at one point hestarted to bring forth
information about himself to me,about his life.
And one night I was just layingin bed and I can feel him come
into my, my space, my awareness,and he says to me look me up.
I'm like what do you mean?
Look you up?
(32:26):
He's like you're gonna find me.
Look me up.
I'm like what do you mean?
Look you up?
He's like you're going to findme.
Look me up.
I'm like, okay, I'll Google you.
And so I went on Google andlooked for Braveheart and I did.
I found Braveheart and I foundthe information that he had
shared with me was also writtenWow.
And so that's when I was like,okay, you're real.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You're real, wow, wow and and that goes back to that
trusting and surrendering, right, like just going with it, and I
could imagine you Googling like, okay, yeah, what am I going to
find?
This is all in my mind, sort ofthing.
And then, oh wait, I alreadyknow this.
I already know this about him,this about him, which is just
(33:09):
really just really cool tosurrender and trust and validate
yeah yeah, beautiful beautiful,beautiful when we connect with
our guides, you know, becausethey truly are there to support
us and to help us.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yes, um, and they have great advice as well.
Um, you cannot make decisionsor choices for us, but they are
there to support us.
And so having that beautifullove and support from Braveheart
has been just amazing to havein my life.
Yeah, yeah, gorgeous.
(33:55):
Thank you for that reminder forfor us all.
Yeah, that's beautiful, miguel,thank you so you just may I add
something really please please,when it comes to our guides, you
know, for all of those that arelistening, what's most
important is being able toconnect with that presence and
love.
That's the important connectionthere.
Information is great becauseour human minds, you know, can
(34:20):
put pieces together for if itneeds to feel real to us.
But that's not the important,important part that connection,
feeling them, knowing them,based on their vibration, and
the love that they bring to youwhen you connect with them.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, good wisdom that, thank you, thank you.
So you are clearly living avery purposeful and intentional
life.
I mean, it's evident ineverything that you're saying
You're being very, veryintentional about how you are in
the world.
Do you have any hopes around asyou move through this world and
(35:06):
beyond, like what you leavebehind, how you are remembered,
how others see this, have beenimpacted by this intentional
life you've lived?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Such great questions, thanks.
I don't think that I'veactually put much thought into
that.
To be honest, I've always beensomebody that I'm like if I'm in
the background, great, I'mhappy being there.
That connection with spirit caninspire something that can
(35:51):
spark that love that spirit hasfor us within somebody else that
encourages them on their ownpath of connecting.
I feel that that would make mereally happy.
That would make me really happybecause it is when we
experience it ourselves that itbecomes real and true, and so if
(36:14):
people can experience itthemselves, that would be
wonderful.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And I think you can rest assured, like you've
already done that, abundantly,abundantly, and you know as you
can, it's just more and more ofthose ripples in the pond go out
, but you already have had thateffect and impact.
Right, correct, correct,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
So I think this is getting us to our rapid fire
questions Again.
Again they're they don't haveto be so rapid and it's more
just whatever you think of andyou know, don't put too much
thought into it.
I guess Some people do, and Iasked the question.
That's like, oh, maybe that'sharder than I thought and I
(37:00):
guess if they were thrown at meI might have to win a big award.
They're going up to the stage,a pitcher's coming up to the
mound and the music plays.
There's this walk-in song.
What would be your walk-in song?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Ooh, what would be my walk-in song?
Oh, geez, I have the song.
I have to remember the name yepokay, yep um, it's the song.
It's what a wonderful world.
(37:37):
Oh, this is his name, oh, louis.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Armstrong, yeah, yeah that song.
Every time I hear it, my heartjust yes as this yeah, I think
that would be that song becausehe sings that song from his soul
also and you just feel it oh,that is, yeah, it is powerful,
no, and nobody else can sing it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I mean, you can listen to other people singing
it, but it's not the same at all.
He is just I think, yeah, froma little girl.
I love that song that's a goodone.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Oh, that's that's.
I could see that for you, foryour walking song, for sure,
when we have an event and you'rethe guest speaker, that's what
we're doing there you go.
What book changed you?
Speaker 3 (38:22):
That book is a book on a shaman healer.
Her name is Bachita and she isfrom Mexico and the the healings
that have taken place with herhealing guide are incredible.
So that is one book that'sreally opened my mind to much,
(38:45):
much more possibility withspirit.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yes, Okay, I'm going to look that up, yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's titled Los Chamanes de Mexico, which is the
shamans of Mexico, and her nameis Bachita, so that's okay.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Wonderful, thank you.

and we've both been clients ofhis as well and are so grateful
for his wonderful insights, hisextraordinary perceptions and
(01:21):
his very gentle loving spirit.
Miguel is a medium, and thatmanifests in a variety of ways,
and we're going to talk to himabout that work and his journey
and what brings him here.
You're going to want to knowall about Miguel as well.
So, miguel, thank you, thankyou, thank you for being here
with us.
Speaker 3 (01:42):
Thank you for inviting me.
Thank you, I'm excited to share.
You know what spirit hasbrought upon my life, and so
thank you for this opportunity.
Speaker 1 (01:52):
Yes, well, you're so welcome and thank you.
And so, exactly that, whatspirit has brought upon, you
know, has brought this about?
Because, like nobody is alittle kid going, hey, I want to
grow up and be a medium.
That's not really what happens,but here you are and, like I
can attest, you are so good atwhat you do it for a variety of
(02:16):
reasons.
You are super insightful, veryclear, very on target and
incredibly loving and kind.
So all of that's wonderful, butcan you tell us a little bit
about really what did bring youto this journey and where you
(02:37):
are today?
Speaker 3 (02:39):
Big question it is a big question, you know.
I think that many of us can seedifferent parts of our life,
that I always wondered whathappens when we die.
I only had the answer fromreligion you either go to heaven
(03:12):
or you go to hell, and that isterrifying.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Right.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
So I was like, okay, that's a little frightening.
And so I had that questionwithin myself for many, many,
many years.
And when I was 26, about toturn 27, I had this dream
visitation of the Lady ofGuadalupe at her feet, and I
(03:48):
couldn't believe that I wasseeing her because it felt more
than just a dream.
It felt very real.
Yeah, the colors around herwere incredible.
And so I woke myself up fromthat that space because I just
couldn't believe it.
But when I woke up from thatspace, the room felt different.
It didn't feel like the sameroom I had first gone off to
(04:09):
sleep.
There was a different energyand a love that was very present
.
Wow.
And the following two days afterthat night she would come back
into the room and I would seelike this constellation of stars
that would form her shape.
And from that there wasn'tnecessarily like communication
(04:30):
word to word In my soul I knew Ineed to make changes in my life
because there's somethingthat's to come.
Like that's all that I knewwithin me, that I needed to make
changes to embrace what wascoming.
And that really was thebeginning of my journey with
spirit, consciously, fully aware.
(04:51):
And also the visitations frommy grandma.
After that, visitation from theLady of Guadalupe, where my
grandma would come in and shewould tell me things.
I don't know if this is reallyyou, grandma.
So I had to go and call my momand confirm like mom, is this
real?
And some of the things shedidn't know about but came to be
(05:12):
.
So that's how I learned toreally trust that, okay, this is
my grandmother, this is herspirit, because I could feel it.
It's been a wonderful journeysince then.
Speaker 2 (05:23):
Yeah, wow.
So I'm curious because 26, 27,that's still fairly young like
trying to figure out what yourrole is in life, what you're
supposed to do maybe for schoolor for career wise, was there a
different path you were on thatthen took you this way?
Speaker 3 (05:42):
Yes, I had recently, a couple years just graduated
from college.
I received my bachelor's infine arts so drawing and
painting.
Gone to art school, my idea oflife was I'm going to be a
gallery artist, a painter.
That's my dream.
And then spirit came along andthings have changed for the
(06:03):
better.
Speaker 1 (06:04):
I feel, yes, can I ask?
So?
Here's the thing, because I,you know I come up against this
with a number of people just inthe world and doing the work
that I do as well that there arethose who you know are raised
in a lot of fear regarding theafterlife.
You talked about you.
You know heaven, hell.
(06:24):
That seemed very scary thatthese are the options.
I mean, what else is, what elsecan we know?
And so, somehow, some way, whenyou had the dream visions that
you did and then the knowingnessthat you did, you were able,
through the validations, andthat's important, but you were
able to go to trust.
Validations, and that'simportant, but you were able to
(06:44):
go to trust rather than the fearwhich many people that that is
the wall they cannot go past,that they're afraid of their own
knowing Because, as you said,all of us have experiences of
what we see, we know, but manypeople shut that down.
How is it that you were able towalk through that into trust?
Speaker 3 (07:07):
Well, that's a really good question.
You know the way it felt for me.
The way that it felt it did notfeel scary or frightening.
There was, of course, that bitof hesitation within my mind and
reality, because previous tothis, I wasn't truly aware of
communicating with spirit, likehaving communication with them,
(07:31):
and so for me, it was reallyabout the feeling, the love that
they brought forward thathelped me not to be afraid of it
, and I feel that you know ourjourneys and the direction of
life that we head into all havea beautiful purpose.
Of course, some can be verypainful, some can be very
(07:51):
beautiful and happy, but there'salways a reason, and prior to
arriving at this, you knowvisitation with the lady and my
own spiritual awakening I hadalready been away from home for
a good like, maybe five or sixyears.
And this was my first time beingfully away from my family, and
(08:13):
I feel that that was important,because I needed to find and
discover who I was as a person,as a soul, and not have the
influence of my family that I'vehad for my entire life, and so
I feel that part of that hadsomething to play in it as well,
that I was at a point where Iwas very open to new
(08:38):
possibilities and new ideas aswell, yeah, yeah, you know I
love hearing that yourbackground was in fine arts
because I think when I first metyou several years ago now it
seems you were kind ofpracticing your.
Speaker 2 (08:53):
Your could draw a face that looked like a person
where you know.
That would take me probablymonths or years to do, but then
how accurate your sketches wereto all of our loved ones in
(09:16):
spirit.
And so I love to see that thisspirit connection merged with
your, really your educationright To allow you to do this
phenomenal service for people ofsketching their loved ones
today in the afterlife, but asif they're right here with us.
(09:39):
So just I'll say, like for me,the hope that I received from
that was the knowledge that theystill exist and they still look
like a person.
It's not that they're just dustlike we learn that they are
right.
There's so much more than that.
(09:59):
And also, while I had thisthought of my gosh, I'm never
going to have a new picture withmy loved one all of a sudden
here was a brand new picture ofmy loved one which was just so
hopeful, so absolutely beautiful.
So I love that you're able tomerge kind of this, what you
thought was going to be yourcareer with this whole other
(10:21):
path.
Speaker 1 (10:21):
Well, how did you come by that, Miguel?
So that's a very particularplace to take your knowing.
How did you come to do that?
Speaker 3 (10:31):
Yeah, you know, so early on in my development, as I
was sitting in for circles andworkshops, my mentors began
speaking of other mediums, andso some of those mediums began
to include spirit artists and Iwas curious like, oh, what does
that mean?
And for the first few years Iwas very curious about it and I
(10:52):
discovered some spirit artistsfrom the past and that they were
able to draw the portrait ofloved ones, and so that was like
, huh, well, I can already drawpeople that are in front of me.
I wonder if I can blend thiswith the mediumship, and so then
that was its own journey of itsown path of trying to
understand how to bridge thistogether.
(11:14):
And it's really fascinating forme because, although I had this
understanding of how to drawand perceive information and
place it on paper, it's like Ihad to let go of all of that and
just surrender to trust fromspirit and myself, and that was
(11:37):
quite a challenge for some time,but it's part of the process of
spirit also helping us to findthat space within ourselves to
own and trust and rely on, whichis beautiful.
Speaker 2 (11:56):
Yeah, given people a lot of hope.
You know, myself included, butI know people that have.
We're in circles with you and Iknow people who have been your
clients, who have talked abouthow amazing it is and how
hopeful it is, and I wonder then, what gives you hope?
Where do you find hope?
Speaker 3 (12:18):
Those are all such great questions.
You know, I feel that my hopecomes from connecting to God and
the love that I have around me,both living and in spirit, and
when I truly believed in myself,also from spirit sharing with
(12:42):
me and the experience that lifewas eternal.
That changed something withinme, that there's this, there's
something really beautiful tolook forward to once we
transition from the space, andthat is that space many can call
heaven I'll call it heaven tooof where we are going to be in
(13:06):
the purest vibration of love,and that brings to me great hope
in my life, but what I'm doing.
Also that there are alwayssouls around helping and guiding
during this time.
And so, yeah, thank you forthat question.
Never thought about it.
Speaker 2 (13:26):
Thank you, thank you.
Speaker 1 (13:28):
Have you yourself worked with mediums along the
way who have you know, have readfor you, and from whom, I mean
I'm assuming so but from whomyou've learned and taken, you
know, a little bit training fromwhat they do?
Speaker 3 (13:43):
Yes, absolutely.
My first mentor was MichaelMayo, and so he was a really
great foundation in being ableto just be in a space of
allowing and allowing to come inand just embrace that space.
So he was really wonderful.
(14:04):
I've also and I'm takingcurrently classes with Eileen
Davies oh yeah, wonderful,wonderful soul and medium.
I've also taken courses withJoe Bradley for trans mediumship
as well Bradley for transmediumship as well.
(14:26):
So I feel like I've had areally wonderful array of
different souls that have really, you know, honored their skills
and their connection to spirit,and so that's been, that's been
a blessing.
Speaker 1 (14:34):
And I must also mention Julie Ketel as well, who
was very supportive of myjourney with trance as well,
(14:55):
continuing your learning, andthat there are whole schools of
training.
But there are great trainersand mentors, teachers out there
with whom one can work, so thatit's a, it's an evolution.
I think a lot of people justthink, well, either you have
this thing right or you don't,and that's just it.
So can you talk a little bitabout that, about what it is to
(15:17):
train in this science and art ofmediumship?
Speaker 3 (15:23):
Yeah, you know, I feel and I believe that
everybody has the ability toconnect.
Yes, it's just understandinghow to connect and be aware of
the energy and presence ofspirit and how they're
communicating with you.
Right, that's where thetraining comes into place yeah,
it's allowing you to understandthat process of communications
(15:47):
through the senses of you know,clairvoyance, clairaudience and
understanding how you receiveand perceive the information
that is being given to you byspirit yeah it, didn't it?
I see it also.
You know, with anything, ifthere's some there, if there's
talent or interest, um, withanything if it's music, singing,
(16:09):
um, do you still go through theprocess of some training?
To understand and grow thatskill.
So it's very much similar tothat with art as well.
Or if you're interested in law,then you go to school for it as
well, own that skill.
So it's very similar in thatmanner.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
Yeah, I love hearing you say that, because I know for
myself as and I still say, youknow a developing medium, a
beginning medium, and I wouldsay like, well, why don't you
just tell me the words you wantme to say?
Don't make me play this charadegame.
Right?
And it was learning how tocommunicate differently.
And then I was also finding inthe journey that loved ones on
(16:51):
the other side also wanted tolearn how to communicate
differently.
So if they were always going toa medium and sharing something
in one kind of modality, theywanted to do something different
.
So maybe it is through art, orit's through music, or it's
through, you know, symbols, orit's through words or
electricity or whatever it is,but they want to experience
(17:13):
growth in their communication onthat plane, just like we're
doing here, which is fascinating, yeah, yeah.
So I know we're talking aboutmediumship, but I also follow,
miguel, the artwork that you'redoing, and I know they're
spirit-driven art and then notspirit.
(17:34):
Well, I guess I'm not going tocall it spirit art, but maybe
you would.
The other artwork that you'redoing, these amazing floral
pictures and full portraits thatI don't think are done while
you're practicing mediumship,but maybe you are always
connected and it's always drivenby spirit.
So I would love for you to talka little bit just about kind of
(17:58):
that art process also.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
Yeah, absolutely, thank you, and you know, to some
degree I feel that spirit isalways involved with whatever
we're doing creatively.
Spirit, the influence, is goingto be there, and that was
something that I became aware ofwhen painting those roses or
portraits, was that I couldconnect intentionally and invite
(18:22):
spirit to guide and work withme.
And so I do do that with them,even if I have a reference that
I'm working from.
But what happens is that I moveand they help me to move into
this space of fluidity where theenergy can just pass and it's
(18:43):
really magical and beautifulbecause it's as it's happening.
I don't feel like I have tothink about it much, it's just
oh, I see red, I'm gonna add red.
Oh, there's green.
Okay, I need to add more green.
I need to do this yeah but Ifeel their influence and I just
allow it to happen.
And I find that when I'm reallyin that space, it's like I also
(19:05):
become the observer of what hastaken place on the canvas when
we're done, because I'm in thisaltered space of just I'm here
but I'm not here, and workingtogether.
I'm here but I'm not here andwe're working together, and so
(19:37):
that has been very much a partof my practice.
Now, when I do paint, or evenwhen I'm teaching students how
to paint and draw, I just inviteGod and spirit, because they're
always happy and willing tohelp us.
And I find that sometimes, whenI'm like teaching someone you
know a process to painting anddrawing, the words that start
flowing in my mind actuallyconnect to what they're
experiencing.
Right, well, let's think aboutart this way.
This happens in life, but let's, let's try it this way, wow.
Speaker 1 (19:58):
I understand so well what you're talking about.
I say these same things.
I'm also a writer by professionand the place where I engage in
my writing, in that flow, isvery similar to the place of my
mediumship, which I do as well.
It is a similar space where Iconnect and I receive and I open
(20:21):
myself and as I talk about that, I say you know, I don't
experience, you know thewriter's block that people talk
about, because he just thatopenness and flow is a place
where there's constantcreativity, constant that we can
access.
So it's interesting I've notheard somebody else speak about
that in quite the same way.
(20:42):
And yes, yes, I get that.
I understand that.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
Yeah, I like the idea of what you've said.
If I understand it correctly,is you're doing this artwork and
you are so, I guess, soconnected and almost maybe it's
almost out of body as you'redoing this that when you finish
and you take a break because Iknow your pictures can take some
time when you take a break andget to step back and look at the
(21:09):
picture, it's like you'relooking at it, just like we are
observing it for the first time,like oh, wow, look at this and
look at the color or look at theshapes.
And it's interesting becauseI've seen some of your artwork
where I feel like that is whenI'm connected and I'm seeing
these colors that I imagine arenot in this world, that are
(21:34):
otherworldly.
You see them in your portraits,in your paintings, and I'm
thinking of one specific I thinkit was roses, a floral painting
, where there were just thesecolors.
I'm like where do those colorsexist?
Like they must exist somewhere,but very otherworldly, I think.
Speaker 3 (21:52):
Oh, thank you so much .
Thank you, and I feel that'sthe influence of spirit coming
in.
And, you know, as the mediumsourselves, we just have to allow
it to come through, and one ofthe things that I'm really
working on is not judging itafterwards and just allowing it
(22:13):
to be and then coming back to itwith an open heart, open mind
and just continuing, because ahuman mind wants to always be so
analytical.
Speaker 1 (22:22):
Yes, yeah, wants to like nitpick.
Speaker 3 (22:24):
Oh well, I can do this, I can change that, but I'm
like nope, just let it be, Letit go.
Speaker 2 (22:28):
Yeah, and I could imagine that from your training
as an artist that there's alwaysthis analytical piece of it
that is part of schooling rightand having to let go of that
that's.
That's good for those of usthat are developing our
(22:49):
mediumship in other ways to justkind of remember that, that
there is this letting go and notjudging.
And yeah, because that's schoolis about the grades you get
right, it's about the finishedproduct of the grades you get.
So unlearning that.
But yeah.
Speaker 1 (23:02):
So, as you've been on this journey of unfoldment and
development, evolution, allthese wonderful things coming to
pass through your acceptance ofthem, it's a beautiful place to
be.
What if you were able to goback and talk to your younger
self, maybe like that preteen12-year-old, 13-year-old guy,
(23:23):
Miguel?
What would he say about youtoday and where you are today?
Speaker 3 (23:30):
I feel that that young boy, miguel, would be very
proud of where we are now.
I really I do feel that Becausewe have put in the work to
change the things that have notworked within our life and have
embraced God and continue toembrace God to help us to lead
(23:51):
forward a life of love and to beof service to spirit.
And that, I feel, just bringsgreat joy to my heart and my
life.
Speaker 1 (24:02):
It's gorgeous.
And also, I think everyonelistening is noticing that you
just brought young Miguel alongwith you and that he is very
present with you now, and it'sthe we who are here today.
It's beautiful.
Speaker 2 (24:18):
Yeah, I love that.
So.
So who inspires you in yourlife, in this process?
I?
My first answer is well, it'sgot to be God, it's got to be
spirit, but but I wonder ifthat's your answer and if
there's anybody on this kind ofplane that that inspires you.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
I do have several people that inspire me, and
those are my peers, that aremediums, that are artists,
friends and family, and it is inthe way that they are
themselves as beautiful souls,as beings, that I really connect
to a lot.
(24:59):
You know, what you donecessarily isn't so much the
impressive part, but it's thequality of the person that you
are that I'm really drawn to,and so that's what inspires me
when I can see someone actuallybe kind in the way that they're
responding yes and communicatingor going out of their way to
(25:22):
check on someone.
Just being at space is is reallyhumbling, uh, to be able to
experience yeah, so it's it'salways evolving, it's always
changing and growing and, youknow, it can also be the little
kids that I teach at the placethat I'm at, that you know,
third or fifth graders.
They also inspire me too,because they're so fearless.
(25:45):
They're so fearless and socommitted to their life as in
what they want to do, that it'slike that's it.
They're committed, and thattakes so much strength and
willpower to really honoryourself in such a way that,
yeah, there's always inspirationthere too.
Speaker 2 (26:04):
Yes, beautiful, I love that.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Like kids know that and somehow we often unlearn
that as we become adults and,you know, need to learn it again
.
Speaker 2 (26:14):
And we talk about children being the teachers for
sure they are are well, if we'llallow it, right, yeah, yeah, so
inspiring yeah, if we could alllive kind of that, that life of
wonder you know um, just thatyou have, when you're the little
you know to, to look at theworm and totally love this worm,
instead of thinking, oh, I'vegot to get rid of the worm,
(26:36):
right, just right, what?
Yeah, I get down and dirty withhim, so yeah cool, cool, cool.
Speaker 1 (26:43):
Okay.
So, miguel, do you have a kindof philosophy of life or a motto
that guides you in your, yourday-to-day?
Speaker 3 (26:54):
yes, I do, and that is.
Speaker 1 (26:56):
It's a hard one to still really fully experience,
but just to surrender and trustgod it is a hard one and but
such a potent one, right andjust so powerful and
transformative and man we are,we struggle with resistance to
(27:16):
that surrender.
Surrender yeah, we had adifferent somebody, actually one
of our sisters.
Come on and talk about thattopic.
And talk about surrenderdoesn't mean like, oh, just
giving up, I just quit.
It is turning it over andtrusting and letting yourself
(27:38):
just go with it, which is a verydifferent thing.
Can you talk a little bit moreabout what surrender is and what
it is to you?
Speaker 3 (27:45):
Yeah, for me, you know, it is trusting that things
are going to work out in oneway or another.
But I have to surrender and letgo of the control or the way
that I want it to be and just goalong with the experience and
that's something wonderful isgoing to happen.
Whether it's negative orpositive, both will lead me to
(28:09):
where I'm supposed to go, andthat's that's been the the path
that I've been on for some timehere, and I also have really
great support from my guide,braveheart.
When you know, life gets alittle bit overwhelming, the
anxiety comes up and it's likeI'm thinking about the future or
things to come.
(28:29):
He calms me down and reminds meto focus in the present.
Speaker 1 (28:33):
Yes.
Speaker 3 (28:33):
And when I fully embrace that.
It's quite powerful toexperience, because then the
nervous system also follows thatand there's calmness and
there's gratitude, calmness andthere's gratitude.
And so it's been reallybeautiful to also experience
(28:55):
that with my guide, when he cancome in and just share those
little tidbits of yeah yeah,it's like well, if it's not
happening right now, then youdon't have to think about it,
Let it go.
Speaker 1 (29:03):
Yeah, I love that.
Do you have any tools topractice that allow you to stay
in the present?
Speaker 3 (29:09):
Oh, connecting to my breath, I would say Connecting
to my breath, and I go throughthis little self-talk of where I
talk to myself Okay, miguel,you are right here right now.
This is happening at this verymoment.
You are safe, you are all right, you don't have to worry about
it.
When you get there, you canaddress it, it's going to be
(29:30):
okay.
Speaker 2 (29:31):
Yeah, I like that.
Can I ask, because youmentioned your guide, braveheart
, and I don't know if you'rewanting to share with us a
little bit of like how did youcome to know your guide?
How did did your guide find you?
Did you find your guide?
How did that come about?
Speaker 3 (29:50):
Yes, thank you.
Braveheart has been with me mywhole life.
I just was not aware of it, butI can think back to experiences
of when I was little, of how Iwould feel when I came near or
around Native American cultureor music.
He's Native American and I'llremember.
(30:12):
I do remember this.
There was an assembly that wehad when I was in fifth grade
where dancers came in and theywere Native American and I could
just feel something in my heart.
So he was then, and so thoseare the moments that I think
back to Braveheart being therewith me in those moments.
But I came to really be awareof him in a gradual way.
(30:40):
The first connection that I madewith him was when I sat for a
trance, blending by myself,blending by myself and through
that I experienced this, thislife of this soul, and what he
went through, and this was veryearly on in my journey and I,
I'll be honest, I dismissed itbecause I was like, oh, it's my
(31:01):
mind, and so time passes by andI come across.
What is it?
Sorry, I have too many Eileen'sor Elaine's in my life.
Elaine Thorpe Sorry, elaineThorpe.
I came across Elaine and Ibooked a session with her and
her wonderful, beautiful guide,Jonathan, that communicates
(31:23):
through her was very helpfulduring that time of my life.
But in that session Braveheartcame through and spoke to me and
it was the love that I felt inthat moment, as he was
expressing those beautiful wordsof love and appreciation
(31:44):
towards me, that really broughtthis curiosity of like.
Who is this man, like, who isthis brave heart?
And so after that Iintentionally would sit in the
silence and I would invite himlike please join me, be with me.
And over time that bond andthat energy built up to his more
(32:06):
stronger and stronger.
And then at one point hestarted to bring forth
information about himself to me,about his life.
And one night I was just layingin bed and I can feel him come
into my, my space, my awareness,and he says to me look me up.
I'm like what do you mean?
Look you up?
(32:26):
He's like you're gonna find me.
Look me up.
I'm like what do you mean?
Look you up?
He's like you're going to findme.
Look me up.
I'm like, okay, I'll Google you.
And so I went on Google andlooked for Braveheart and I did.
I found Braveheart and I foundthe information that he had
shared with me was also writtenWow.
And so that's when I was like,okay, you're real.
Speaker 2 (32:48):
You're real, wow, wow and and that goes back to that
trusting and surrendering, right, like just going with it, and I
could imagine you Googling like, okay, yeah, what am I going to
find?
This is all in my mind, sort ofthing.
And then, oh wait, I alreadyknow this.
I already know this about him,this about him, which is just
(33:09):
really just really cool tosurrender and trust and validate
yeah yeah, beautiful beautiful,beautiful when we connect with
our guides, you know, becausethey truly are there to support
us and to help us.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
Yes, um, and they have great advice as well.
Um, you cannot make decisionsor choices for us, but they are
there to support us.
And so having that beautifullove and support from Braveheart
has been just amazing to havein my life.
Yeah, yeah, gorgeous.
(33:55):
Thank you for that reminder forfor us all.
Yeah, that's beautiful, miguel,thank you so you just may I add
something really please please,when it comes to our guides, you
know, for all of those that arelistening, what's most
important is being able toconnect with that presence and
love.
That's the important connectionthere.
Information is great becauseour human minds, you know, can
(34:20):
put pieces together for if itneeds to feel real to us.
But that's not the important,important part that connection,
feeling them, knowing them,based on their vibration, and
the love that they bring to youwhen you connect with them.
Speaker 1 (34:38):
Yeah, good wisdom that, thank you, thank you.
So you are clearly living avery purposeful and intentional
life.
I mean, it's evident ineverything that you're saying
You're being very, veryintentional about how you are in
the world.
Do you have any hopes around asyou move through this world and
(35:06):
beyond, like what you leavebehind, how you are remembered,
how others see this, have beenimpacted by this intentional
life you've lived?
Speaker 3 (35:20):
Such great questions, thanks.
I don't think that I'veactually put much thought into
that.
To be honest, I've always beensomebody that I'm like if I'm in
the background, great, I'mhappy being there.
That connection with spirit caninspire something that can
(35:51):
spark that love that spirit hasfor us within somebody else that
encourages them on their ownpath of connecting.
I feel that that would make mereally happy.
That would make me really happybecause it is when we
experience it ourselves that itbecomes real and true, and so if
(36:14):
people can experience itthemselves, that would be
wonderful.
Speaker 1 (36:20):
And I think you can rest assured, like you've
already done that, abundantly,abundantly, and you know as you
can, it's just more and more ofthose ripples in the pond go out
, but you already have had thateffect and impact.
Right, correct, correct,absolutely.
Speaker 2 (36:39):
So I think this is getting us to our rapid fire
questions Again.
Again they're they don't haveto be so rapid and it's more
just whatever you think of andyou know, don't put too much
thought into it.
I guess Some people do, and Iasked the question.
That's like, oh, maybe that'sharder than I thought and I
(37:00):
guess if they were thrown at meI might have to win a big award.
They're going up to the stage,a pitcher's coming up to the
mound and the music plays.
There's this walk-in song.
What would be your walk-in song?
Speaker 3 (37:16):
Ooh, what would be my walk-in song?
Oh, geez, I have the song.
I have to remember the name yepokay, yep um, it's the song.
It's what a wonderful world.
(37:37):
Oh, this is his name, oh, louis.
Speaker 1 (37:40):
Armstrong, yeah, yeah that song.
Every time I hear it, my heartjust yes as this yeah, I think
that would be that song becausehe sings that song from his soul
also and you just feel it oh,that is, yeah, it is powerful,
no, and nobody else can sing it.
Speaker 2 (37:59):
I mean, you can listen to other people singing
it, but it's not the same at all.
He is just I think, yeah, froma little girl.
I love that song that's a goodone.
Speaker 1 (38:09):
Oh, that's that's.
I could see that for you, foryour walking song, for sure,
when we have an event and you'rethe guest speaker, that's what
we're doing there you go.
What book changed you?
Speaker 3 (38:22):
That book is a book on a shaman healer.
Her name is Bachita and she isfrom Mexico and the the healings
that have taken place with herhealing guide are incredible.
So that is one book that'sreally opened my mind to much,
(38:45):
much more possibility withspirit.
Speaker 2 (38:48):
Yes, Okay, I'm going to look that up, yeah.
Speaker 3 (38:51):
It's titled Los Chamanes de Mexico, which is the
shamans of Mexico, and her nameis Bachita, so that's okay.
Speaker 2 (39:00):
Wonderful, thank you.
