Speaker 2 (00:09):
Enjoy.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
Welcome to the Reluctant Medium, where we cover the gamut
of out there conversations with an open mind and a
curious heart. We want to talk about it all, from
psychic phenomenon energy medicine, to beings from other star systems
and out of body experiences. You'll find a great balance
between grounded, science backed topics and others that science hasn't
(00:37):
quite caught up to yet. I'm your host, doctor Maria Rothenberger,
a psychotherapist by trade and a reluctant spirit baby communicator.
And hey, even though I'm a medium, I'm not buying
everything folks are selling.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
I just have a voracious appetite to know more about
what I call the world of the weird. Join us on.
Speaker 1 (00:55):
Your favorite podcast platform or watch on YouTube at the
Reluctant Medium. See you there, Hi, Welcome to the Reluctant Medium.
I'm doctor Maria Rothenberger, and first I just want to
(01:17):
offer a sense of gratitude that I get to work
from my bed right now, Like, what who gets to
do that? I mean, I'm sure plenty of people not
post COVID, but I'm just feeling especially grateful today and
I get to have my cay cat BlackBerry smoke with
(01:38):
me today. So Hello, Well, today we have a very
interesting reading for you with Olga. She is a person
who is quite intuitive herself, and you'll hear in the
beginning of the reading where I talk about or I
ask her really what she gets red for anymore. Because
(02:01):
she is so in tune with the other side and
so accurate, it's interesting that she would still seek out readings,
and it's because.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
It's confirmation for her.
Speaker 1 (02:13):
And so while I encourage folks to do your own
training and your own expanding your psychic abilities, I also
recommend getting readings for validation and not just from one person.
Although it's fine you probably build relationships with a practitioner
(02:36):
like any practitioner, right, but I find that it's super
useful to connect with various people who do various types
of work, but also the same work in their own style.
It's really interesting and informative to expand in that way
and to connect in that way, to get confirmation from
(02:58):
various people around the same ideas and themes.
Speaker 2 (03:02):
Of your life.
Speaker 1 (03:04):
All right. That said, what I would like to talk
about today is psychic development, and I just have five
very simple tools for you to get going on developing
your psychic intuition. Now, does that mean you're going to
be doing this work, Well, no, not necessarily. But the
(03:28):
fact of the matter is from a very very very
young age, we are taught to ignore our psychic abilities.
Speaker 2 (03:39):
I believe, and many, many, many.
Speaker 1 (03:41):
People believe that we're all in tune in this way
and we are educated out of it. So one of
the things that I like to say is that I'm
working myself out of a job because I feel like
everybody has the ability to into it their own life,
(04:01):
their own next steps, their own needs. They are able
to draw and you are able to draw from your
own resources that you don't need necessarily someone like me.
It's just a entertaining but be validation and confirmation of
what you already know. And you're going to see that
(04:21):
in today's reading too, and actually in a lot of
readings in the reluctant medium, you'll see people having an
awareness or a resonance with what's being said.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
It's because they already know it to.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
Be true, all right, with that, let's start with my
five tips today, And there are many, but I'm just.
Speaker 2 (04:41):
Gonna shoot for five five.
Speaker 1 (04:44):
Tips today for you to begin tuning into and developing
your own psychic awareness.
Speaker 2 (04:51):
Let's start with number five.
Speaker 1 (04:55):
Just like in the beginning of this episode, today you
saw me putting two together a crystal grid. Crystals are
ban freaking pastic for enhancing your intuition. I'm gonna be
talking a little bit later about dream work a little foreshadowing.
Speaker 2 (05:14):
Crystals really help with dream work.
Speaker 1 (05:17):
For example, a howlight crystal enhances well, it's really calming,
but also it enhances your ability to dream, and it
also increases your dream recollection. Paired with clear courts, which
provides clarity in your dreams. Wow, you have a dual courts,
(05:42):
a dual crystal process that is ideal for dream work.
So crystals like I did in the beginning, you saw
the crystal spread that was for focus.
Speaker 2 (05:56):
I needed to focus and ground in.
Speaker 1 (06:00):
Presentation today, a learning or a teaching today. That's what
that crystal spread was for. You can create crystal spreads
or own crystals that enhance your psychic intuition. I would
recommend something as simple and affordable as an amethyst crystal.
If you're just looking to create more psychic intuition, sleep
(06:22):
with an amethyst crystal on your bedside now. Side note,
you do want to remember to cleanse that crystal frequently
and use your intuition to sense when that crystal needs it.
Speaker 2 (06:35):
Everybody is different.
Speaker 1 (06:36):
Some people like to use herbal smokes, some people like
to hold them and use their intention for cleansing the crystals.
Some folks say that the crystals also.
Speaker 2 (06:49):
Need to be charged.
Speaker 1 (06:50):
I don't find that as much, and anyway, cleansing and
charging ends up being similar for me because you can
charge by the moon or charge by the sun. I
find that cleansing with moon energy is perfectly fine, and
your intuition matters way more than my practice or what
anybody else does. So you tune into your crystals and
(07:13):
see what they need so for enhancing your intuition overall
psychic ability, grab yourself some amethyst for dreamwork, how light
your courts and really there are plenty of websites out there,
or you can just doctor internet it up to see
what crystals are useful and meaningful for the particular kind
(07:34):
of work that.
Speaker 2 (07:35):
You want to do.
Speaker 1 (07:36):
Okay, that's number five number four journaling. Journaling in general
is really useful for developing your psychic abilities. I have
to say, I have a journal for everything. I have
a journal for my daily tasks. That's a bullet journal.
I have a journal for regular life. I write all
(07:58):
my daily stuff down dream journal. I have a journal
for herbalist studies. I have a journal for evidence that.
Speaker 2 (08:07):
Psychic mediumship is a thing.
Speaker 1 (08:09):
Honestly, So you are talking right now, or an avid
journalist is talking to you right now about the importance
of journaling. I can't find a more important tool for
tracking the data that you receive. Because you can go
about your day and have your psychic hits, but you
(08:32):
forget everybody forgets you have a human brain. That's how
we roll, right, That's how we function. So when you
write things down, just like a dream journal, you're able
to see themes. When you write things down, like I
saw the number one, two, three, and I kept seeing
it over and over, and these are the thoughts that
(08:53):
I was having when I saw that number, or these
are the events that happened preceding seeing that number or
just after or seeing that number. You'll start noticing patterns,
and that is really important.
Speaker 2 (09:06):
Information.
Speaker 1 (09:08):
So journaling can't be stressed enough. It is really important
to start doing that. Now, there is another way to
develop psychic intuition, and I have actually talked about this
in another episode that I think is just so much fun.
That when you write down information using your dominant hand,
(09:28):
that is sending information or collecting data. It's putting it
out there. But when you write with your non dominant hand,
it's receiving information. So what I suggest is that you
get into a calm, meditative state and ask your questions
in your journal with your dominant hand, and then get
(09:52):
back into your meditative state and begin writing with your
non dominant hand. Whatever comes through. Such a fun practice.
It really is important to get into that playful state, though,
because we tend to sometimes get a little too or
if you're like me, we tend to get a little
(10:12):
bit too.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Is this real? I don't know, I'm making this up.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I mean I'm a medium and I still do that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So no judgment if you do that too.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's important to get into that playful let's just see
what happens state.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, that's number four. Number three, super fun important tool
to use.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Oh here's an actual physical tool.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm going to show you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Have you heard of these, It's called a pendulum. And
people think that pendulums are like.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Magical or something.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, I suppose there's a little bit of magic in them,
but not really. They are reading your energy, the energy
that is around you, your electromagnetic yield.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now, what I like to do when.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I suggest using a pendulum in the beginning, is to
connect with your greater self, which is really already using
your energy, your oric field, your electromagnetic field that's emanating
from your heart.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We know that from the Heart Math Institute. Go Heart
Math Institute. In your research.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yay. But when you begin connecting with souls outside of you,
your guides, your healing masters, departed loved ones, your spirit babies, whomever,
what you're going to be doing is a little bit different.
You're going to be asking that you, especially your ego part,
(11:41):
the ego part of you, steps aside. So I say, Maria,
steps aside. Over there, please, BABYX, use my energy to
communicate with me now and then you'll feel a subtle shift.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In your energy.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But in the beginning, you're really just learning how to
use this. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So I'm going to show you a very simple practice
how to begin using a pendulum.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, so you want to be sure that the pendulum
is cleansed and then to create an energetic little cylinder.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Here, I hold.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
A pendulum in my dominant hand and my non dominant
hand I hold underneath. And I just asked the pendulum
show me yes, show me yes, and I'm holding it
with my dominant hand as still as I possibly can,
but it is still connecting to my energy.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So that is yes.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And in this case it is uh north and south,
show me no, no, no, okay, And there you can
see it switches and now we are going east west okay.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
So you can ask very.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Simple yes and no questions that way. Now you can
communicate more deeply and more with more nuance with a pendulum.
But that's just the beginning yes and no, and that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Is enough in the beginning. Number two.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Now you might not realize that this is as important
as it is, but it really really is. And that
is play play. Yeah, we get so damn serious about
this stuff. We start to feel down on ourselves if
we're not accurate. We start to feel down on ourselves
(13:40):
if we're just not getting like we're only ten percent
better than we used to be oh my gosh, ten
percent better, amazing, haven't moved at all, amazing, Just practice more.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Play is so important.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I said wait in the beginning of this episode,
that we are taught to not pay attention to our playfulness,
to our imagination. We are taught to do one plus
one equals two. We are taught to do very grounded mathematics,
science based things, all beautiful and wonderful within their own
(14:16):
right too, But without imagination and without play, you're missing
the picture, the whole picture. When you are using a pendulum,
when you are playing around with cardimancy, doing card readings,
when you are playing around with your Claire's, your Cleare sentience,
your Clere audience, your clairvoyance, whatever it is that you're
doing in that moment, have an element of play, elevate
(14:41):
it to the point of, you know what, in the end,
this doesn't totally matter. It's just playfulness. And I'm having
a good time. Because what that does is it removes
effectively removes your ego from the situation. And when you
are attempting to improve your psychic ability, as your psychic awareness,
your psychic intuition, your connection to the other side, there
(15:04):
is nothing I find more important than removing your ego
from the situation so that you can truly receive the information,
Otherwise it's blocked. In order to really get clear information
from outside of ourselves from the ether, we need to
remove our ego or to ask it to step aside temporarily.
(15:25):
Play play It's number two so important. Go get yourself
some play.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now. How can you practice play?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well, you can use a divination tool like this, but
you can literally go play. Go play a sport, Go
play a board game, Do something fun and new that
you've never done before. Get excited about a new project
or a new tool that you want to use. You
know it's there's play is all over the place. Opportunities
(15:59):
for player all over the place.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Okay, we have come to bump numeral.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh No.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The number one thing to.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Do in order to enhance your psychic abilities, develop your
psychic intuition, et cetera. You've heard it a billion times meditation.
Now I should tell you I started meditating because.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Going to prove that it sucks. Frankly, I was in
the middle of a very intense fertility struggle and I
wanted to find something to relieve my pain, my depression
and nothing worked.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And I found.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
This whole thing about mindfulness based stress reduction, and I
decided to try mindfulness because that was bogus and that
couldn't possibly work, and so I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Prove get wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, I dutifully aimed for thirty minutes a day for
ninety days. I was gung how I was going to
do this and prove that it does not work for
my brain. I lived in New Jersey at the time,
and I was in traffic, and if you know New
Jersey in.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Traffic, it is not good.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Lots of cursing, lots of expletives, lots of gestures out.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Of the window.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And there was one day that I got cut off
on the highway and my very first instinctual reaction was.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
How they're okay?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And that's when I knew that mindfulness meditation worked for me.
You will change your nervous system and its ability to
be resilient, and you will open up pathways for connecting
to the other side. When the first two spirit babies
showed up for me and I breaked out and I
(18:01):
called somebody who I knew was a psychic medium and
asked her what the frig was going on. She pointed
to meditation being the first thing that likely enhanced this
ability that I never knew that I had, and I
am going to pay that information forward to you. Doesn't
(18:21):
need to be thirty minutes a day, I found after
ninety days of thirty minutes a day, and not even
in the beginning. I think in the beginning I started
with like five minute guided meditations and worked myself up
to thirty minutes. After ninety days of that, my brain
structure was clearly changed. Because of that evidence my initial
reaction of peacefulness. So there is something about meditation that
(18:47):
is very important. You cannot skip it if you want
to develop your psychic abilities.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Don't skip it. Must must, must, must do.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay, there are your five tips for developing your psychic
intuition and.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
A couple of bonuses in there.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Let's move on to today's reading. I have been fortunate
enough to get to work with Olga in the past,
and in the beginning when we started working together, she
did not tune in to her psychic abilities. She wanted
to very much, and she probably already knew that they
were there, but when she really put the practices into place,
(19:30):
the surprise would come every time that she would be
on point and correct with her psychic abilities to the
point where she now just leans into it. And when
she gets what she calls downloads, she believes them, she
writes them down. So this reading does cover the gamut.
We do talk about spirit babies, we talk about her career,
(19:50):
we talk about other things moving into five D, which
is a whole other episode. We'll probably get into that
in season two, but I want you to pay attention
to psychic abilities and her.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Leaning into that today too.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, I'll catch you on the other side, And
here is where I leave you. To go to new
realitytv dot com and find season one, episode ten for

get into a calm, meditative state and ask your questions
in your journal with your dominant hand, and then get
(09:52):
back into your meditative state and begin writing with your
non dominant hand. Whatever comes through. Such a fun practice.
It really is important to get into that playful state, though,
because we tend to sometimes get a little too or
if you're like me, we tend to get a little
(10:12):
bit too.
Speaker 2 (10:13):
Is this real? I don't know, I'm making this up.
Speaker 1 (10:17):
I mean I'm a medium and I still do that.
Speaker 2 (10:19):
So no judgment if you do that too.
Speaker 1 (10:23):
It's important to get into that playful let's just see
what happens state.
Speaker 2 (10:27):
Okay, that's number four. Number three, super fun important tool
to use.
Speaker 1 (10:34):
Oh here's an actual physical tool.
Speaker 2 (10:37):
I'm going to show you.
Speaker 1 (10:39):
Have you heard of these, It's called a pendulum. And
people think that pendulums are like.
Speaker 2 (10:48):
Magical or something.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
Well, I suppose there's a little bit of magic in them,
but not really. They are reading your energy, the energy
that is around you, your electromagnetic yield.
Speaker 2 (11:01):
Now, what I like to do when.
Speaker 1 (11:02):
I suggest using a pendulum in the beginning, is to
connect with your greater self, which is really already using
your energy, your oric field, your electromagnetic field that's emanating
from your heart.
Speaker 2 (11:16):
We know that from the Heart Math Institute. Go Heart
Math Institute. In your research.
Speaker 1 (11:20):
Yay. But when you begin connecting with souls outside of you,
your guides, your healing masters, departed loved ones, your spirit babies, whomever,
what you're going to be doing is a little bit different.
You're going to be asking that you, especially your ego part,
(11:41):
the ego part of you, steps aside. So I say, Maria,
steps aside. Over there, please, BABYX, use my energy to
communicate with me now and then you'll feel a subtle shift.
Speaker 2 (11:57):
In your energy.
Speaker 1 (11:58):
But in the beginning, you're really just learning how to
use this. Right.
Speaker 2 (12:01):
So I'm going to show you a very simple practice
how to begin using a pendulum.
Speaker 1 (12:06):
Okay, so you want to be sure that the pendulum
is cleansed and then to create an energetic little cylinder.
Speaker 2 (12:15):
Here, I hold.
Speaker 1 (12:16):
A pendulum in my dominant hand and my non dominant
hand I hold underneath. And I just asked the pendulum
show me yes, show me yes, and I'm holding it
with my dominant hand as still as I possibly can,
but it is still connecting to my energy.
Speaker 2 (12:37):
So that is yes.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
And in this case it is uh north and south,
show me no, no, no, okay, And there you can
see it switches and now we are going east west okay.
Speaker 2 (12:59):
So you can ask very.
Speaker 1 (13:00):
Simple yes and no questions that way. Now you can
communicate more deeply and more with more nuance with a pendulum.
But that's just the beginning yes and no, and that.
Speaker 2 (13:12):
Is enough in the beginning. Number two.
Speaker 1 (13:18):
Now you might not realize that this is as important
as it is, but it really really is. And that
is play play. Yeah, we get so damn serious about
this stuff. We start to feel down on ourselves if
we're not accurate. We start to feel down on ourselves
(13:40):
if we're just not getting like we're only ten percent
better than we used to be oh my gosh, ten
percent better, amazing, haven't moved at all, amazing, Just practice more.
Speaker 2 (13:54):
Play is so important.
Speaker 1 (13:55):
And I said wait in the beginning of this episode,
that we are taught to not pay attention to our playfulness,
to our imagination. We are taught to do one plus
one equals two. We are taught to do very grounded mathematics,
science based things, all beautiful and wonderful within their own
(14:16):
right too, But without imagination and without play, you're missing
the picture, the whole picture. When you are using a pendulum,
when you are playing around with cardimancy, doing card readings,
when you are playing around with your Claire's, your Cleare sentience,
your Clere audience, your clairvoyance, whatever it is that you're
doing in that moment, have an element of play, elevate
(14:41):
it to the point of, you know what, in the end,
this doesn't totally matter. It's just playfulness. And I'm having
a good time. Because what that does is it removes
effectively removes your ego from the situation. And when you
are attempting to improve your psychic ability, as your psychic awareness,
your psychic intuition, your connection to the other side, there
(15:04):
is nothing I find more important than removing your ego
from the situation so that you can truly receive the information,
Otherwise it's blocked. In order to really get clear information
from outside of ourselves from the ether, we need to
remove our ego or to ask it to step aside temporarily.
(15:25):
Play play It's number two so important. Go get yourself
some play.
Speaker 2 (15:33):
Now. How can you practice play?
Speaker 1 (15:36):
Well, you can use a divination tool like this, but
you can literally go play. Go play a sport, Go
play a board game, Do something fun and new that
you've never done before. Get excited about a new project
or a new tool that you want to use. You
know it's there's play is all over the place. Opportunities
(15:59):
for player all over the place.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Okay, we have come to bump numeral.
Speaker 1 (16:06):
Oh No.
Speaker 2 (16:07):
The number one thing to.
Speaker 1 (16:09):
Do in order to enhance your psychic abilities, develop your
psychic intuition, et cetera. You've heard it a billion times meditation.
Now I should tell you I started meditating because.
Speaker 2 (16:27):
I was.
Speaker 1 (16:29):
Going to prove that it sucks. Frankly, I was in
the middle of a very intense fertility struggle and I
wanted to find something to relieve my pain, my depression
and nothing worked.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
And I found.
Speaker 1 (16:49):
This whole thing about mindfulness based stress reduction, and I
decided to try mindfulness because that was bogus and that
couldn't possibly work, and so I'm going to.
Speaker 2 (16:59):
Prove get wrong.
Speaker 1 (17:01):
Well, I dutifully aimed for thirty minutes a day for
ninety days. I was gung how I was going to
do this and prove that it does not work for
my brain. I lived in New Jersey at the time,
and I was in traffic, and if you know New
Jersey in.
Speaker 2 (17:21):
Traffic, it is not good.
Speaker 1 (17:23):
Lots of cursing, lots of expletives, lots of gestures out.
Speaker 2 (17:27):
Of the window.
Speaker 1 (17:29):
And there was one day that I got cut off
on the highway and my very first instinctual reaction was.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
How they're okay?
Speaker 1 (17:40):
And that's when I knew that mindfulness meditation worked for me.
You will change your nervous system and its ability to
be resilient, and you will open up pathways for connecting
to the other side. When the first two spirit babies
showed up for me and I breaked out and I
(18:01):
called somebody who I knew was a psychic medium and
asked her what the frig was going on. She pointed
to meditation being the first thing that likely enhanced this
ability that I never knew that I had, and I
am going to pay that information forward to you. Doesn't
(18:21):
need to be thirty minutes a day, I found after
ninety days of thirty minutes a day, and not even
in the beginning. I think in the beginning I started
with like five minute guided meditations and worked myself up
to thirty minutes. After ninety days of that, my brain
structure was clearly changed. Because of that evidence my initial
reaction of peacefulness. So there is something about meditation that
(18:47):
is very important. You cannot skip it if you want
to develop your psychic abilities.
Speaker 2 (18:53):
Don't skip it. Must must, must, must do.
Speaker 1 (18:58):
Okay, there are your five tips for developing your psychic
intuition and.
Speaker 2 (19:03):
A couple of bonuses in there.
Speaker 1 (19:06):
Let's move on to today's reading. I have been fortunate
enough to get to work with Olga in the past,
and in the beginning when we started working together, she
did not tune in to her psychic abilities. She wanted
to very much, and she probably already knew that they
were there, but when she really put the practices into place,
(19:30):
the surprise would come every time that she would be
on point and correct with her psychic abilities to the
point where she now just leans into it. And when
she gets what she calls downloads, she believes them, she
writes them down. So this reading does cover the gamut.
We do talk about spirit babies, we talk about her career,
(19:50):
we talk about other things moving into five D, which
is a whole other episode. We'll probably get into that
in season two, but I want you to pay attention
to psychic abilities and her.
Speaker 2 (20:07):
Leaning into that today too.
Speaker 1 (20:10):
All right, I'll catch you on the other side, And
here is where I leave you. To go to new
realitytv dot com and find season one, episode ten for
