Thank you so much for inviting me. And you work from your heart and
we are two powerwomen. Oh yeswe are. Boy. We were together
(04:17):
physically in the same place. Wedid make some things change drastically. I
really love feel your energy and Ireally love it. And folks, she's
talking to me today from Amsterdam,so you know, we can feel the
energy between California and Amsterdam. Andif we can, you can too.
And we're gonna delve more into that. But you know, Barbara, I
(04:40):
won't start out with you sharing abit of your story. You said at
age seven that was a great epiphanyfor you and you know you woke up
so to speak, so talk tous about that. Yeah, before I
got evidence that I was psychic,I thought everyone one was psydekick until I
(05:02):
had to go to a police stationwith my best friend at age seven,
and we experienced the day before anasty man who tried to lure us in
his car. So at the policestation the next day, we had to
look at photos to see if wewould recognize the man. And I didn't
(05:25):
know that when I focused that Iget all sorts of information about someone,
their energy, what kind of personhe or she is. I had no
clue, and I was really focusedbecause I didn't want to point out the
wrong man right. And then Istarted to feel the energy of the man
(05:46):
on the photo because they were allthe child abusers and I'd never experienced such
a toxic, dark, evil energyin my life ever to act normal to
the police officer because I didn't understandwhat was going on in my body,
I had a panic attack, butwhat did I know. Began to hyperventilate.
(06:11):
I thought I was dying, sohe let me go and outside I
met my friend and I asked herif she felt the same things and saw
the same things. She said,No, I don't know what you're talking
about. And that's when I discoveredthat not everyone is the same, and
that was quite a shock that itmade me feel really lonely and crazy and
(06:35):
a freak. So that was mystart of the journey. Yes, did
your other friends outside of the oneyou went to the police station with also
noticed a difference in you? Well, I'm very introvert and I didn't have
(07:00):
friends except the one, so Iwas always a bit quiet, shy,
so I don't think anyone noticed abig difference in me. Okay. Well,
as those friends didn't notice, youdefinitely took notice, and you were
growing through everything. Now for you, what is the significance of seven?
(07:29):
I like the number seven. Ithink it's a holy number. It's my
lucky number, and it's also aboutthe Saturn return, like seven, fourteen,
twenty one, twenty eight. Yeah, that's how I look at it.
(07:53):
Okay, Well that's really interesting.Now is what's your life path number?
Do you know? I think it'snine? Okay, interesting because my
number is five. When I firstdiscovered everything in my life path as five,
so I was wondering if yours wouldbe, you know, the thing
as understand. Yeah, you seehow that works out. Now, how
(08:18):
do you, as an adult andworking in this world of energy, how
do you recognize signs from the nonphysical. It's I have to suddenly look
at something. M That's how Irecognize. And then I see, for
(08:41):
example, on my watch on theclock eleven eleven, or I suddenly have
to look to the right and Isee that one of my candles just went
out, not because it's the endof the candle, but just someone blew
it out. Yeah, so I'mreally aware when i'm when I suddenly have
(09:01):
to look another direction, it's like, okay, what do you want to
show me? And of course othersigns can be really physical, like I
feel a hand on my head strokingmy hair, or I feel a warmth
on one part of my body,or I smell for a nanosecond, I
(09:26):
smell something that reminds me of mymother or a grandmother. So it sounds
like you're well versed in all ofthe claires. Yeah. For me,
it started with seeing and feeling,and then later on the hearing also became
(09:48):
very strong, so that I hearnames. I heard names and complete sentences.
So I think when we develop thisit's like a domain no effect.
When you can do one thing,all other senses will develop as well.
Did you experience the same you know? I think so. In my family,
(10:15):
we were always open to this typeof energy, so it didn't seem
different to me on any level inthe family. But outside the family,
boy, things were weird. Youknow. I remember going to school and
telling kids what was going to happen, and when it came true, I
got in trouble because I was scaringpeople, you know, that type of
(10:37):
thing. Yeah, So it's always, yeah, it's always something to you
know, learn how to manage theenergy. Yeah, and also in our
enthusiasm when we can help people.Sometimes or I'm going to speak for myself,
but sometimes when I was younger,I crossed the boundary. But I
(11:00):
did it with good intentions and notto hurt or scare anyone. But it
can be really scary for the otherperson. Yeah. Well, talking about
what can be scary for some people. Halloween is coming up, and that's
the time when the bill is verythin between the worlds, and you know,
(11:20):
we do trigger treating and you godown the street and you see ghosts
and goblins and witches and whatever.But all of that can be very,
very real. So what would yousay to someone who really wants to connect
with the other side during this timeof the thin veil. I would begin
(11:45):
with protecting yourself, and you cando it in numerous ways. I always
put a like a ball around mein white or in blue or doesn't matter
what color. It goes all aroundme. Then silver that reflects unwanted energies.
And then I stay to my guidesthat I only want to contact the
(12:07):
highest and the purest form of energy. I think it's very important. And
then you can ask you're the peoplewho are diseased and around you to give
you a sign or maybe even makethemselves visible if you can handle that.
(12:28):
Things like that. M yeah,well no, thank you for me.
I don't want to see anybody.That's really weird because I do this work
and people say you're afraid of deadpeople. I'm like, mm hmm,
but you talk to dead people,but I don't want to see them.
I don't want to party with them. I don't want them at the Thanksgiving
table. You could just stay wherethey're at, and I am I may
(12:54):
do that, yeah, where I'mat. So when you checked in and
you went deeper in any situation andyou saw something that was really evil,
negative extreme low vibrational energy. Tellus about that, well, I this
(13:15):
really scares me when I feel anenergy that Once. I was on holiday
with a friend in Italy and wewere in a haunted house and that was
I felt that there was an energythere. It belonged to the house itself,
and it didn't want us there.We were really not welcome and that
(13:39):
was demonic. And I'm so scaredof these things because I know they exist.
So we slept outside the second nightwe didn't there to sleep in the
house. We slept. Yeah,thank god it was summer. So I
(14:00):
don't want to do anything with it. I don't want to connect with that
energy. I just want to getaway from it as soon as possible.
Okay, but that energy still exists, So how do you stop it from
following you around? I do alot of work with people with spirit release.
Yeah, pol who have been arebeing controlled by you know, a
(14:22):
foreign low vibrational energy. So inyour case, since you know you don't
like it, which I can understand, how do you escape it? By
asking my guides? Well, actuallyI asked them in Italy over and over,
and at that time I could feelthat it stayed in the house.
(14:46):
It wasn't interested in me. Sowhen we were outside, we were free,
so to speak. When we gotinside, we could sense that energy,
so it didn't Thank god, itdidn't follow U around. And it's
I'm happy you do this kind ofwork. I would be, Oh,
it was scared of living daylights outof me. So I'm well, I
(15:11):
applaud you that you can do this, because I think a lot of people
you can really help them. Yeah, it helps a lot of people if
they're willing to, you know,release because on some level, well,
we all attract positive and negative energy, right, or what we consider positive
and negative energy just is whatever itis. And some people they really,
(15:39):
for whatever reason, need to havethe need to play with and indulge in,
you know, the lower level vibrationslike Ouiji boards and things like that.
And when you do that, youhave no idea who or what is
on the other end. Yeah,exactly. Yeah, you let that energy
in and it's like, oh,my goodness, what's happened opening Now all
(16:00):
of a sudden, all kinds ofweird things start happening to them, and
they don't realize you know what thebeginning of this energy was and how they
invited it in. And folks,the same thing can hold true for doing
drugs, drinking alcohol, whatever.If you know how to protect yourself,
do it all the time. AndI'm not saying don't do because you know,
(16:22):
I enjoy a martini or three,Yeah, of course. Yeah,
But when I had my protection crystalson, I protect myself physically so that
the unwanted energy is at a minimal, very animal. Now, you had
worked with a gentleman who crossed overduring the World Trade Center situation, and
(16:52):
you developed quite a relationship with thisperson. Tell us about that. Yeah.
For me, it's normal that visitspirit and visits sorry, spirits visits
me before a reading starts. Therecan be weeks or months before the reading
about that particular spirit begins when someonevisits me. So I thought that someone
(17:19):
connected to him would come from areading in the Netherlands. And he told
me his first name, his nickname, and he started to give more information
about his children and thinks about howhe died and how he was doing in
(17:40):
heaven right now, and lots more. So I wrote it all down because
I was afraid that I might forget. So I had it all figured out.
I thought, I have all hiswords written down, and when someone
books a reading connected to him comesto my office, I can give them
all my notes. But no onecame. And then one day he never
(18:04):
told me where and when he died, so I didn't know. I had
no clue. And then one dayhe told me that he died during nine
eleven in one of the twin tours. I was in auto shock. I
started to cry immediately, and Ihad no idea, and he said,
(18:26):
I want you to find my wifeand tell her everything I told you,
and then he was gone, andI didn't know what to do. And
my first response was, no,I'm not going to reach out and find
someone and give the weird information thatI have contact with her disease husband.
I was afraid. I didn't dareto, so I finally did, and
(18:52):
in the book you can read aboutthe journey of searching for her and how
that came about. So it's oneof my most lovely stories because this man
traveled all around the world to findpsychics, and he did find someone else,
and he gave that psychic the sameinformation I found out later on when
(19:18):
I contacted his wife. So heloves his wife so much, and that
gives me goosebumps every time that hehe just moves heaven and earth to get
the messages across to his wife.Now, if that isn't true love,
I don't know what is. Well, not only true love, it also
validates the fact that the spirit keepsgoing, the soul keeps living even though
(19:45):
they're physical goes away. So howcan one reconcile with that? You know,
I love my husband to death,I truly do. And should he
predeceize me, I'm like, bye, want to wherever and we'll catch up
with each other later. So howand for me it's it's truly a fear.
(20:06):
Okay, I just don't do likedead people that well, even though
I do the work that I do. So how can someone in my situation
who's aware, you know, intuitively, how can you manage that energy of
either not wanting contact or having thephysical contact that you want to have or
(20:30):
the energetic contact that you want tohave. You mean, when when someone
close to you is disease, yesor yeah, Well, the energy of
someone is the same because you takeyour personality with you. So so a
lot of people tell me, Ifeel like their partner who's disease. I
(20:53):
feel them around me. It feelsthe same, and it's warm and it's
loving. So I'm not sure ifthat is what you mean that what kind
of energy you feel, because it'sit's exactly the same. When we are
alive. Our energy is our energy. So that's the biggest sign that it
(21:17):
feels, yeah, the same andfamiliar and but more loving, more because
their awareness is complete. Once wedie, our awareness is complete, so
it feels warm and safe. Yeah, So what if the person was what
we consider a bad person when theywere alive. I mean, you know,
(21:38):
they murdered, they pillaged, andthen they crossed over. Can you
decide you don't want to interact withthat energy, just ignore it? How
does that happen? Well, whenwe die, you are shown like a
movie, your entire life, frameby frame. What did you do?
(22:00):
Did you hurt people? Did youmake people happy? And so let's say
a murderer, he has to gothrough all these emotions that the person felt
that he murdered, he or shemurdered. So if that's pretty intense,
and I don't believe in hell,I do believe we can create our own
(22:22):
hell here on earth and also afterwe died, when you don't want to
feel and live through the emotions yougave other people. Okay, so if
we refuse to accept our I guessreality, then what happens to us?
(22:44):
I mean, you know we're hangingout at source, So what happens to
us? To our soul? Howdo we grow or do we just stay
stagnant until we're ready to open upand receive? Yeah, well it differs
proper soul. So some people arereally stubborn, they don't want to look
at their life. They and andthey get like, well, I don't
(23:07):
want to call it stuck, butthey have to do it all over again.
And there is always forgiveness when whenwe die, there's always forgiveness because
there's also something called karma, sothat means what you do comes back to
you. So often when when karmais being balanced, then there is nothing
(23:33):
to fear when you die because itcould have been karma being balanced. But
that's really different for each soul.But if someone is stuck and they don't
want to look at their life whatthey did, and I cannot contact that
soul, I cannot make contact no, because they're not open to to loving
(23:59):
feelings there open to communicate because there'sthey're kind of yeah, in a cocoon
of stubbornness. M hmm. Isit possible for someone to open the door
for possession, not necessarily demonic possession, because other energies can possess. Is
it possible for someone to open thatdoor for possession by going to a seanceer,
(24:25):
by connecting with others who have crossedover and like a person's missing them
so much they automatically just want tocome join them. Is that a possibility.
I feel that yes it is,But then things have happened before that
they were more open to inviting theenergy. It's not like like you say,
(24:49):
you're like you're a Martini, butno soul wants to possess you.
So but when you drink heavily yearafter year after year thing or use drugs,
then you can open the door.So if you attend the seance for
once, one time only and you'reyou're like drinking your martini every now and
(25:12):
then you're fine, assuming that theperson who is leading the whole seance is
pure m hm. And if not, then you should walk away because then
the whole beginning the whole basic ofthat seance isn't pure. Mm hmm.
(25:36):
Well, speaking of purity, Iwas going to cover this a little bit
later, but we can take alook at it now. How can we
tell the difference between a real ora fake psychic or intuitive whatever you want
to call us. Yeah, Ialways want to start the reading. And
and I when when when a psychicasks you a million questions, I think
(25:57):
that's not a good sign. Becausewe are connected to our spirit guides,
so we get the information whether weask questions or not, it just happens.
So I think that's a clear sign. And when you hear common things
like oh you think a lot,well everyone thinks a lot. Or sometimes
(26:22):
you feel insecure and sometimes you're confident, well that goes for everyone. So
if you hear you know, thesevague things, the more things you can
we cannot know, because I thinkeveryone wants evidence, evidence, and if
you can give evidence, that's beautiful. Of course, yes it is.
(26:52):
It's beautiful and it brings a senseof peace. If I want to cover
two topics with you, first,just ghost in the second, which is
you know, in this time ofOctober where the veil is thinning, you
know, people are saying, oh, I see ghost all the time.
I was actually scrolling through a Facebookpage earlier and there was a camera set
(27:18):
up trying to catch the ghosts thatwere walking down the street. So we
have a great fascination with ghosts inthe other world. So talk to us
about ghosts in your experience. Whatis a ghost? How does it interact?
Does it have to bother you?Can you get rid of it?
Give us your general scoop on whata ghost is. I always think community
(27:41):
about Cosper, you know, thelittle the cartoon, And because for me,
a ghost is it's it's the spiritand I don't see I don't personally,
I don't have a negative ring tothe word ghost. I never use
it. I always use the wordor soul. So is that something that's
(28:03):
more a used word in America,that it's a negative thing a ghost,
because maybe some people mean like apoltergeist or something like that. M yeah,
yeah, Because in the Dutch translation, when someone says I see ghosts,
(28:30):
it's it's translated into icye spirits.So we don't have a difference between
a ghost or spirit. Oh Okay, that's interesting, isn't this? Yeah?
Because here we make a marked differencebetween ghosts and spirits, and usually
ghosts or like an operation that yousee and you know, most people say
(28:55):
they're innocent, some people say not, you know, especially the poultry geist
and what can bring on it isexactly yeah, m hm. So you
do have good ghosts and bad ghosts, just like good spirits and bad spirits.
Is that what you mean? Well? Can you? Because I mean,
(29:17):
you know, Casper was a friendlyghost. Yeah, I always think
about guests, So yeah, no, there, yeah, there is black
and white, darkness and light,good and bad. It's definitely there.
But yeah, well, but whathappens when you experience I'm going to tell
(29:37):
you this is true story. Ourhouse had burned when I was sixteen,
and we rented, you know,someone else's home while the renovations were going
on. And it came home oneday from school on my way down to
my father's business, I just stoppedhome for a moment, and all my
clothes that were hanging up in thecloset when I left that morning were on
(30:00):
the bed and my dog is lookingat me like, oooh, something something
happened to here, mom. Andso I went, you know, I
went to my father's business and Italked to him about it, and he
goes, oh, the dog didit. He's my house. The dog
gonna get up and take the clothesoff the head, right, But anybody
that that pacified me for a moment. So it happened two more times,
(30:21):
for a total of three times.And then one day I was in my
sister's bedroom and this house was beautiful, was absolutely gorgeous. It had floor
of ceiling windows, and it wasin the woods, a creek flowing down
behind it. And we used tosee this man and the house was on
stilts, and we used to seethis man just walk by the window,
Caucasian man, gray hair, graybeard, red and walking by, or
(30:48):
was alive, he was gone.It was the owner of the house.
And he would walk by, hewould look in and again the house was
on stilts, so there's no way. This man is like twenty feet tall,
okay. And he would just peerin the window and walk by and
keep going. And then one nightI was sleep and all of a sudden
(31:10):
I started laughing hysterically in my sleepabout the w of cats. I have
no idea what the w of catsis or was, but it was hysterical,
and my parents tried to wake meup. They couldn't wake me.
It was just a whole thing.So in that instance, I feel there
was a level of number one ghostactivity and number two possession. And when
(31:33):
I was sixteen, I was agoodie, goodie girl, so I didn't
do anything. I didn't even drink. So it's like, well, how
did you know all of that happen? Because that was really quite frightening,
you know, Okay, well,my guide are they're joining this conversation.
Of course, what they're saying isthat the women in your mother's line of
(31:56):
the family, the bloodline, soyour ancestors, they are very psychic,
all of them, and because theywanted to get your attention. And when
you're sixteen, I understand it's liketerrifying. But maybe when you experience something
(32:17):
like this again, you can say, Okay, what do you want from
me? Can I help you withsomething? Because they definitely wanted to attract
your attention. And these women theyare standing around you, so you have
nothing to be afraid of because theyare protecting you. You have your own
team of bodyguards around you. SoI feel because you were born psychic and
(32:43):
very gifted, and I feel someonewas trying to make contact with you in
a good way. Not in agood way, all right. It might
have been my biological mother who crossedover when I was fied. So let's
switch gears a moment about the wword witch is. I mean, you
know, this time of year yousee characters of women and a black point
(33:09):
hat and a long crooked nose anda big water on their face and dressed
in black. And I don't knowany witch, and I know many,
I don't know any witch who lookslike that. So talk to us about
your experience with what a witch is, what a witch is not, and
how can we if we choose toutilize witchy energy because I feel it comes
(33:34):
in handy a lot, yeah,a, which is our feminine power.
Hum and that power we have isunbelievable. So for me, a witch
is someone who really uses their femininepower. And then of course you have
the group of witches who who cometogether in a circle when there's a full
(33:58):
moon or a new moon. Beautiful. But I I love to see when
women start to embed in their ownpower and feel like Mother Earth flowing through
them. And I think that's alsosomething that men were afraid of, and
(34:22):
that's why they made us on abroomstick with a word on our nose because
they were afraid of our power.But we never use it against men.
We use it to give birth toour children and take care of everyone.
That's what we did and to you. So for me, I think every
(34:46):
woman is a witch. I agreewith that, you know, because I
mean you think about any mother,no matter where the mother is, who's
taking care of her child. There'salways a point in time where they're taking
care of the child. They don'thave exactly what they need to take care
of that child, but somehow theymake it happen, whether it's you know,
coming up with something that helped thechild who's having some type of illness,
(35:10):
or you know, no matter whatit is, we tap into,
i say, our past lives andwe come up with the solution. Yeah.
And here in Europe in the Middleeight, the mid evil times,
when a woman could heal with herhands or with herbs, people got scared,
(35:34):
so they put a rock around herneck, a big rock, and
when she would she would throw thrownin the water. And when she would
come up, she wasn't the witch. You can never come to the surface
with a big rock around your neck. So, and of course a lot
(35:55):
of women were burned. So thisfeminine power we have is incredible. And
like you said, every woman hasthat power in her whether she has children
or not, because she must havehad children in one or more previous lifetimes,
so she knows how it feels.Yeah, yeah, and it's always
(36:21):
wonderful to be able to tap intothat energy. So, as I discussed
with you before we came on air, my youngest son's partner committed suicide back
in April, and I, tobe honest with you, I still struggle
with this, and to be frankwith you, he was not one of
my favorite people. When one commitssuicide, it's my belief that you know,
(36:44):
they go on to wherever they needto go for their life review.
And that's that movie that you weretalking about earlier. And but what happens
to the soul? My son saidthat his partner would through of the lights.
He would flick the lights and hewould say, you know, is
that you and I? If it'syou, flick twice. If it's one
(37:07):
you know, not you like ordon't flick, and you know, he
could establish that it was his partnerwho was communicating with him to us when
we, you know, decide toend our own lives. I don't even
really like suicide because sometimes the soulis just so tormented it needs to just
(37:30):
move on fresh start to speak.Yeah, exactly. And I don't think
people want to end their life.They want to end their suffering. And
our soul has to experience different waysof dying. How it's like to drown
(37:51):
or horrible, or what it's liketo be murdered, or what it's like
to die in peacefully in our sleep. But also so what it's like to
take our own life. How doesthat feel? So it's all about the
learning process of the soul. AndMitchell is saying that your son Julius is
(38:12):
very creative, He's very gifted.So Mitchell is going to help him with
Julius's creativity and bring it more tothe form because they are soulmates and they've
known each other from previous lifetimes.And Mitchell, he's what he's saying right
(38:32):
now is that he dropped a coupleof before he made that decision to take
his own life. He gave likesigns and he felt like everyone was better
off without him, and that's nottrue. But if you really believe that
it only makes it worse. Andhow you feel, so Mitchell is he
(38:58):
comes in dreams a lot and he'sshowing a beautiful I think it's leather,
like a leather jacket black. It'sit's beautiful. And maybe your son has
this jacket. I don't know,but he's very proud of these jackets.
And he's a lot with his mom. He's taking care of his mom.
(39:20):
Yeah, very connected to his motheras well. Mm hmm. Okay,
So that's what's sorry, No Isaid, I wanted to say. This
is what Mitchell wanted to share.Mm hmmm. Yeah. Now when we
go to your website, barbaradmedium dotcom, what are we going to find
(39:42):
there? A lot? Okay,a little bit more. Yeah, I
gave a lot of I have alot of free things on my website,
free ebooks and free healing. AndI just put on a new course.
I give a mediumship course where Iguide people personally to become if I want
(40:06):
to become a psychic medium themselves,with personal guidance and a lot of background
stories about spirit guides and things likethat. And I try to add whenever
I feel inspired, like, oh, I want to share this with people
like stories about readings that I hadand what it's very interesting. I put
(40:27):
it on my blog. So,yeah, do you have a reading today
that still disturbs you in some way? Yes? Yeah, well I once
had a reading with a psychopath andit was something I had to learn.
I didn't I don't like some lifelessons, but well, here we are.
(40:51):
We're all living and learning. Andthat was really horrible because he abused
his stepdaughter and he was trying tofind out if I could feel that.
He was really challenging me and itwas a horrible human being. And stories
(41:13):
like when people have lost their child. Sometimes years later, I think about
these parents and I hope they're well, it's very emotional the work we do,
and it can stay with us fora very very long time. Yeah.
Absolutely, And you see my throatchakra is like blocking right now,
(41:40):
you can hear it. Yeah,it still is emotional. But I think
if you don't love people, youcannot do this work because, like you,
you really want to help. It'sin your blood and as am I,
so you have to deal with theenormous emotions that come with it.
(42:06):
Yeah, and if you don't dealwith them, folks, trust me,
not wonderful things happen because you're throwingyour your energy off balance, and what
your energy is off balance, thatopens the door for disease and many other
things to come in. Yeah.Well, Barbara, I've really enjoyed your
time today. Our time is up. But could you give me a pearl
(42:28):
of wisdom to share with the audience, please, a pearl of wisdom.
Well, something that helped me enormouslyis to always check what you're thinking,
what you're saying, and what you'rewriting. If it's negative, don't say
(42:51):
it, don't write it, anddon't think it unless you have to in
a conflict or something. But like, try to get rid of all the
negative thoughts and even like oh it'sraining today or I have a bad hair
day, that's that's negative too.So I think that will be a boost
for your entire life, your yourhealth, your relationships, your money,
(43:15):
your everything when you practice being morepositive. Okay, Well, thank you
for that. I really appreciate it, and Barbara, I appreciate you.

the Medium, all one word dotcom. Welcome, Barbara, Welcome.
Thank you so much for inviting me. And you work from your heart and
we are two powerwomen. Oh yeswe are. Boy. We were together
(04:17):
physically in the same place. Wedid make some things change drastically. I
really love feel your energy and Ireally love it. And folks, she's
talking to me today from Amsterdam,so you know, we can feel the
energy between California and Amsterdam. Andif we can, you can too.
And we're gonna delve more into that. But you know, Barbara, I
(04:40):
won't start out with you sharing abit of your story. You said at
age seven that was a great epiphanyfor you and you know you woke up
so to speak, so talk tous about that. Yeah, before I
got evidence that I was psychic,I thought everyone one was psydekick until I
(05:02):
had to go to a police stationwith my best friend at age seven,
and we experienced the day before anasty man who tried to lure us in
his car. So at the policestation the next day, we had to
look at photos to see if wewould recognize the man. And I didn't
(05:25):
know that when I focused that Iget all sorts of information about someone,
their energy, what kind of personhe or she is. I had no
clue, and I was really focusedbecause I didn't want to point out the
wrong man right. And then Istarted to feel the energy of the man
(05:46):
on the photo because they were allthe child abusers and I'd never experienced such
a toxic, dark, evil energyin my life ever to act normal to
the police officer because I didn't understandwhat was going on in my body,
I had a panic attack, butwhat did I know. Began to hyperventilate.
(06:11):
I thought I was dying, sohe let me go and outside I
met my friend and I asked herif she felt the same things and saw
the same things. She said,No, I don't know what you're talking
about. And that's when I discoveredthat not everyone is the same, and
that was quite a shock that itmade me feel really lonely and crazy and
(06:35):
a freak. So that was mystart of the journey. Yes, did
your other friends outside of the oneyou went to the police station with also
noticed a difference in you? Well, I'm very introvert and I didn't have
(07:00):
friends except the one, so Iwas always a bit quiet, shy,
so I don't think anyone noticed abig difference in me. Okay. Well,
as those friends didn't notice, youdefinitely took notice, and you were
growing through everything. Now for you, what is the significance of seven?
(07:29):
I like the number seven. Ithink it's a holy number. It's my
lucky number, and it's also aboutthe Saturn return, like seven, fourteen,
twenty one, twenty eight. Yeah, that's how I look at it.
(07:53):
Okay, Well that's really interesting.Now is what's your life path number?
Do you know? I think it'snine? Okay, interesting because my
number is five. When I firstdiscovered everything in my life path as five,
so I was wondering if yours wouldbe, you know, the thing
as understand. Yeah, you seehow that works out. Now, how
(08:18):
do you, as an adult andworking in this world of energy, how
do you recognize signs from the nonphysical. It's I have to suddenly look
at something. M That's how Irecognize. And then I see, for
(08:41):
example, on my watch on theclock eleven eleven, or I suddenly have
to look to the right and Isee that one of my candles just went
out, not because it's the endof the candle, but just someone blew
it out. Yeah, so I'mreally aware when i'm when I suddenly have
(09:01):
to look another direction, it's like, okay, what do you want to
show me? And of course othersigns can be really physical, like I
feel a hand on my head strokingmy hair, or I feel a warmth
on one part of my body,or I smell for a nanosecond, I
(09:26):
smell something that reminds me of mymother or a grandmother. So it sounds
like you're well versed in all ofthe claires. Yeah. For me,
it started with seeing and feeling,and then later on the hearing also became
(09:48):
very strong, so that I hearnames. I heard names and complete sentences.
So I think when we develop thisit's like a domain no effect.
When you can do one thing,all other senses will develop as well.
Did you experience the same you know? I think so. In my family,
(10:15):
we were always open to this typeof energy, so it didn't seem
different to me on any level inthe family. But outside the family,
boy, things were weird. Youknow. I remember going to school and
telling kids what was going to happen, and when it came true, I
got in trouble because I was scaringpeople, you know, that type of
(10:37):
thing. Yeah, So it's always, yeah, it's always something to you
know, learn how to manage theenergy. Yeah, and also in our
enthusiasm when we can help people.Sometimes or I'm going to speak for myself,
but sometimes when I was younger,I crossed the boundary. But I
(11:00):
did it with good intentions and notto hurt or scare anyone. But it
can be really scary for the otherperson. Yeah. Well, talking about
what can be scary for some people. Halloween is coming up, and that's
the time when the bill is verythin between the worlds, and you know,
(11:20):
we do trigger treating and you godown the street and you see ghosts
and goblins and witches and whatever.But all of that can be very,
very real. So what would yousay to someone who really wants to connect
with the other side during this timeof the thin veil. I would begin
(11:45):
with protecting yourself, and you cando it in numerous ways. I always
put a like a ball around mein white or in blue or doesn't matter
what color. It goes all aroundme. Then silver that reflects unwanted energies.
And then I stay to my guidesthat I only want to contact the
(12:07):
highest and the purest form of energy. I think it's very important. And
then you can ask you're the peoplewho are diseased and around you to give
you a sign or maybe even makethemselves visible if you can handle that.
(12:28):
Things like that. M yeah,well no, thank you for me.
I don't want to see anybody.That's really weird because I do this work
and people say you're afraid of deadpeople. I'm like, mm hmm,
but you talk to dead people,but I don't want to see them.
I don't want to party with them. I don't want them at the Thanksgiving
table. You could just stay wherethey're at, and I am I may
(12:54):
do that, yeah, where I'mat. So when you checked in and
you went deeper in any situation andyou saw something that was really evil,
negative extreme low vibrational energy. Tellus about that, well, I this
(13:15):
really scares me when I feel anenergy that Once. I was on holiday
with a friend in Italy and wewere in a haunted house and that was
I felt that there was an energythere. It belonged to the house itself,
and it didn't want us there.We were really not welcome and that
(13:39):
was demonic. And I'm so scaredof these things because I know they exist.
So we slept outside the second nightwe didn't there to sleep in the
house. We slept. Yeah,thank god it was summer. So I
(14:00):
don't want to do anything with it. I don't want to connect with that
energy. I just want to getaway from it as soon as possible.
Okay, but that energy still exists, So how do you stop it from
following you around? I do alot of work with people with spirit release.
Yeah, pol who have been arebeing controlled by you know, a
(14:22):
foreign low vibrational energy. So inyour case, since you know you don't
like it, which I can understand, how do you escape it? By
asking my guides? Well, actuallyI asked them in Italy over and over,
and at that time I could feelthat it stayed in the house.
(14:46):
It wasn't interested in me. Sowhen we were outside, we were free,
so to speak. When we gotinside, we could sense that energy,
so it didn't Thank god, itdidn't follow U around. And it's
I'm happy you do this kind ofwork. I would be, Oh,
it was scared of living daylights outof me. So I'm well, I
(15:11):
applaud you that you can do this, because I think a lot of people
you can really help them. Yeah, it helps a lot of people if
they're willing to, you know,release because on some level, well,
we all attract positive and negative energy, right, or what we consider positive
and negative energy just is whatever itis. And some people they really,
(15:39):
for whatever reason, need to havethe need to play with and indulge in,
you know, the lower level vibrationslike Ouiji boards and things like that.
And when you do that, youhave no idea who or what is
on the other end. Yeah,exactly. Yeah, you let that energy
in and it's like, oh,my goodness, what's happened opening Now all
(16:00):
of a sudden, all kinds ofweird things start happening to them, and
they don't realize you know what thebeginning of this energy was and how they
invited it in. And folks,the same thing can hold true for doing
drugs, drinking alcohol, whatever.If you know how to protect yourself,
do it all the time. AndI'm not saying don't do because you know,
(16:22):
I enjoy a martini or three,Yeah, of course. Yeah,
But when I had my protection crystalson, I protect myself physically so that
the unwanted energy is at a minimal, very animal. Now, you had
worked with a gentleman who crossed overduring the World Trade Center situation, and
(16:52):
you developed quite a relationship with thisperson. Tell us about that. Yeah.
For me, it's normal that visitspirit and visits sorry, spirits visits
me before a reading starts. Therecan be weeks or months before the reading
about that particular spirit begins when someonevisits me. So I thought that someone
(17:19):
connected to him would come from areading in the Netherlands. And he told
me his first name, his nickname, and he started to give more information
about his children and thinks about howhe died and how he was doing in
(17:40):
heaven right now, and lots more. So I wrote it all down because
I was afraid that I might forget. So I had it all figured out.
I thought, I have all hiswords written down, and when someone
books a reading connected to him comesto my office, I can give them
all my notes. But no onecame. And then one day he never
(18:04):
told me where and when he died, so I didn't know. I had
no clue. And then one dayhe told me that he died during nine
eleven in one of the twin tours. I was in auto shock. I
started to cry immediately, and Ihad no idea, and he said,
(18:26):
I want you to find my wifeand tell her everything I told you,
and then he was gone, andI didn't know what to do. And
my first response was, no,I'm not going to reach out and find
someone and give the weird information thatI have contact with her disease husband.
I was afraid. I didn't dareto, so I finally did, and
(18:52):
in the book you can read aboutthe journey of searching for her and how
that came about. So it's oneof my most lovely stories because this man
traveled all around the world to findpsychics, and he did find someone else,
and he gave that psychic the sameinformation I found out later on when
(19:18):
I contacted his wife. So heloves his wife so much, and that
gives me goosebumps every time that hehe just moves heaven and earth to get
the messages across to his wife.Now, if that isn't true love,
I don't know what is. Well, not only true love, it also
validates the fact that the spirit keepsgoing, the soul keeps living even though
(19:45):
they're physical goes away. So howcan one reconcile with that? You know,
I love my husband to death,I truly do. And should he
predeceize me, I'm like, bye, want to wherever and we'll catch up
with each other later. So howand for me it's it's truly a fear.
(20:06):
Okay, I just don't do likedead people that well, even though
I do the work that I do. So how can someone in my situation
who's aware, you know, intuitively, how can you manage that energy of
either not wanting contact or having thephysical contact that you want to have or
(20:30):
the energetic contact that you want tohave. You mean, when when someone
close to you is disease, yesor yeah, Well, the energy of
someone is the same because you takeyour personality with you. So so a
lot of people tell me, Ifeel like their partner who's disease. I
(20:53):
feel them around me. It feelsthe same, and it's warm and it's
loving. So I'm not sure ifthat is what you mean that what kind
of energy you feel, because it'sit's exactly the same. When we are
alive. Our energy is our energy. So that's the biggest sign that it
(21:17):
feels, yeah, the same andfamiliar and but more loving, more because
their awareness is complete. Once wedie, our awareness is complete, so
it feels warm and safe. Yeah, So what if the person was what
we consider a bad person when theywere alive. I mean, you know,
(21:38):
they murdered, they pillaged, andthen they crossed over. Can you
decide you don't want to interact withthat energy, just ignore it? How
does that happen? Well, whenwe die, you are shown like a
movie, your entire life, frameby frame. What did you do?
(22:00):
Did you hurt people? Did youmake people happy? And so let's say
a murderer, he has to gothrough all these emotions that the person felt
that he murdered, he or shemurdered. So if that's pretty intense,
and I don't believe in hell,I do believe we can create our own
(22:22):
hell here on earth and also afterwe died, when you don't want to
feel and live through the emotions yougave other people. Okay, so if
we refuse to accept our I guessreality, then what happens to us?
(22:44):
I mean, you know we're hangingout at source, So what happens to
us? To our soul? Howdo we grow or do we just stay
stagnant until we're ready to open upand receive? Yeah, well it differs
proper soul. So some people arereally stubborn, they don't want to look
at their life. They and andthey get like, well, I don't
(23:07):
want to call it stuck, butthey have to do it all over again.
And there is always forgiveness when whenwe die, there's always forgiveness because
there's also something called karma, sothat means what you do comes back to
you. So often when when karmais being balanced, then there is nothing
(23:33):
to fear when you die because itcould have been karma being balanced. But
that's really different for each soul.But if someone is stuck and they don't
want to look at their life whatthey did, and I cannot contact that
soul, I cannot make contact no, because they're not open to to loving
(23:59):
feelings there open to communicate because there'sthey're kind of yeah, in a cocoon
of stubbornness. M hmm. Isit possible for someone to open the door
for possession, not necessarily demonic possession, because other energies can possess. Is
it possible for someone to open thatdoor for possession by going to a seanceer,
(24:25):
by connecting with others who have crossedover and like a person's missing them
so much they automatically just want tocome join them. Is that a possibility.
I feel that yes it is,But then things have happened before that
they were more open to inviting theenergy. It's not like like you say,
(24:49):
you're like you're a Martini, butno soul wants to possess you.
So but when you drink heavily yearafter year after year thing or use drugs,
then you can open the door.So if you attend the seance for
once, one time only and you'reyou're like drinking your martini every now and
(25:12):
then you're fine, assuming that theperson who is leading the whole seance is
pure m hm. And if not, then you should walk away because then
the whole beginning the whole basic ofthat seance isn't pure. Mm hmm.
(25:36):
Well, speaking of purity, Iwas going to cover this a little bit
later, but we can take alook at it now. How can we
tell the difference between a real ora fake psychic or intuitive whatever you want
to call us. Yeah, Ialways want to start the reading. And
and I when when when a psychicasks you a million questions, I think
(25:57):
that's not a good sign. Becausewe are connected to our spirit guides,
so we get the information whether weask questions or not, it just happens.
So I think that's a clear sign. And when you hear common things
like oh you think a lot,well everyone thinks a lot. Or sometimes
(26:22):
you feel insecure and sometimes you're confident, well that goes for everyone. So
if you hear you know, thesevague things, the more things you can
we cannot know, because I thinkeveryone wants evidence, evidence, and if
you can give evidence, that's beautiful. Of course, yes it is.
(26:52):
It's beautiful and it brings a senseof peace. If I want to cover
two topics with you, first,just ghost in the second, which is
you know, in this time ofOctober where the veil is thinning, you
know, people are saying, oh, I see ghost all the time.
I was actually scrolling through a Facebookpage earlier and there was a camera set
(27:18):
up trying to catch the ghosts thatwere walking down the street. So we
have a great fascination with ghosts inthe other world. So talk to us
about ghosts in your experience. Whatis a ghost? How does it interact?
Does it have to bother you?Can you get rid of it?
Give us your general scoop on whata ghost is. I always think community
(27:41):
about Cosper, you know, thelittle the cartoon, And because for me,
a ghost is it's it's the spiritand I don't see I don't personally,
I don't have a negative ring tothe word ghost. I never use
it. I always use the wordor soul. So is that something that's
(28:03):
more a used word in America,that it's a negative thing a ghost,
because maybe some people mean like apoltergeist or something like that. M yeah,
yeah, Because in the Dutch translation, when someone says I see ghosts,
(28:30):
it's it's translated into icye spirits.So we don't have a difference between
a ghost or spirit. Oh Okay, that's interesting, isn't this? Yeah?
Because here we make a marked differencebetween ghosts and spirits, and usually
ghosts or like an operation that yousee and you know, most people say
(28:55):
they're innocent, some people say not, you know, especially the poultry geist
and what can bring on it isexactly yeah, m hm. So you
do have good ghosts and bad ghosts, just like good spirits and bad spirits.
Is that what you mean? Well? Can you? Because I mean,
(29:17):
you know, Casper was a friendlyghost. Yeah, I always think
about guests, So yeah, no, there, yeah, there is black
and white, darkness and light,good and bad. It's definitely there.
But yeah, well, but whathappens when you experience I'm going to tell
(29:37):
you this is true story. Ourhouse had burned when I was sixteen,
and we rented, you know,someone else's home while the renovations were going
on. And it came home oneday from school on my way down to
my father's business, I just stoppedhome for a moment, and all my
clothes that were hanging up in thecloset when I left that morning were on
(30:00):
the bed and my dog is lookingat me like, oooh, something something
happened to here, mom. Andso I went, you know, I
went to my father's business and Italked to him about it, and he
goes, oh, the dog didit. He's my house. The dog
gonna get up and take the clothesoff the head, right, But anybody
that that pacified me for a moment. So it happened two more times,
(30:21):
for a total of three times.And then one day I was in my
sister's bedroom and this house was beautiful, was absolutely gorgeous. It had floor
of ceiling windows, and it wasin the woods, a creek flowing down
behind it. And we used tosee this man and the house was on
stilts, and we used to seethis man just walk by the window,
Caucasian man, gray hair, graybeard, red and walking by, or
(30:48):
was alive, he was gone.It was the owner of the house.
And he would walk by, hewould look in and again the house was
on stilts, so there's no way. This man is like twenty feet tall,
okay. And he would just peerin the window and walk by and
keep going. And then one nightI was sleep and all of a sudden
(31:10):
I started laughing hysterically in my sleepabout the w of cats. I have
no idea what the w of catsis or was, but it was hysterical,
and my parents tried to wake meup. They couldn't wake me.
It was just a whole thing.So in that instance, I feel there
was a level of number one ghostactivity and number two possession. And when
(31:33):
I was sixteen, I was agoodie, goodie girl, so I didn't
do anything. I didn't even drink. So it's like, well, how
did you know all of that happen? Because that was really quite frightening,
you know, Okay, well,my guide are they're joining this conversation.
Of course, what they're saying isthat the women in your mother's line of
(31:56):
the family, the bloodline, soyour ancestors, they are very psychic,
all of them, and because theywanted to get your attention. And when
you're sixteen, I understand it's liketerrifying. But maybe when you experience something
(32:17):
like this again, you can say, Okay, what do you want from
me? Can I help you withsomething? Because they definitely wanted to attract
your attention. And these women theyare standing around you, so you have
nothing to be afraid of because theyare protecting you. You have your own
team of bodyguards around you. SoI feel because you were born psychic and
(32:43):
very gifted, and I feel someonewas trying to make contact with you in
a good way. Not in agood way, all right. It might
have been my biological mother who crossedover when I was fied. So let's
switch gears a moment about the wword witch is. I mean, you
know, this time of year yousee characters of women and a black point
(33:09):
hat and a long crooked nose anda big water on their face and dressed
in black. And I don't knowany witch, and I know many,
I don't know any witch who lookslike that. So talk to us about
your experience with what a witch is, what a witch is not, and
how can we if we choose toutilize witchy energy because I feel it comes
(33:34):
in handy a lot, yeah,a, which is our feminine power.
Hum and that power we have isunbelievable. So for me, a witch
is someone who really uses their femininepower. And then of course you have
the group of witches who who cometogether in a circle when there's a full
(33:58):
moon or a new moon. Beautiful. But I I love to see when
women start to embed in their ownpower and feel like Mother Earth flowing through
them. And I think that's alsosomething that men were afraid of, and
(34:22):
that's why they made us on abroomstick with a word on our nose because
they were afraid of our power.But we never use it against men.
We use it to give birth toour children and take care of everyone.
That's what we did and to you. So for me, I think every
(34:46):
woman is a witch. I agreewith that, you know, because I
mean you think about any mother,no matter where the mother is, who's
taking care of her child. There'salways a point in time where they're taking
care of the child. They don'thave exactly what they need to take care
of that child, but somehow theymake it happen, whether it's you know,
coming up with something that helped thechild who's having some type of illness,
(35:10):
or you know, no matter whatit is, we tap into,
i say, our past lives andwe come up with the solution. Yeah.
And here in Europe in the Middleeight, the mid evil times,
when a woman could heal with herhands or with herbs, people got scared,
(35:34):
so they put a rock around herneck, a big rock, and
when she would she would throw thrownin the water. And when she would
come up, she wasn't the witch. You can never come to the surface
with a big rock around your neck. So, and of course a lot
(35:55):
of women were burned. So thisfeminine power we have is incredible. And
like you said, every woman hasthat power in her whether she has children
or not, because she must havehad children in one or more previous lifetimes,
so she knows how it feels.Yeah, yeah, and it's always
(36:21):
wonderful to be able to tap intothat energy. So, as I discussed
with you before we came on air, my youngest son's partner committed suicide back
in April, and I, tobe honest with you, I still struggle
with this, and to be frankwith you, he was not one of
my favorite people. When one commitssuicide, it's my belief that you know,
(36:44):
they go on to wherever they needto go for their life review.
And that's that movie that you weretalking about earlier. And but what happens
to the soul? My son saidthat his partner would through of the lights.
He would flick the lights and hewould say, you know, is
that you and I? If it'syou, flick twice. If it's one
(37:07):
you know, not you like ordon't flick, and you know, he
could establish that it was his partnerwho was communicating with him to us when
we, you know, decide toend our own lives. I don't even
really like suicide because sometimes the soulis just so tormented it needs to just
(37:30):
move on fresh start to speak.Yeah, exactly. And I don't think
people want to end their life.They want to end their suffering. And
our soul has to experience different waysof dying. How it's like to drown
(37:51):
or horrible, or what it's liketo be murdered, or what it's like
to die in peacefully in our sleep. But also so what it's like to
take our own life. How doesthat feel? So it's all about the
learning process of the soul. AndMitchell is saying that your son Julius is
(38:12):
very creative, He's very gifted.So Mitchell is going to help him with
Julius's creativity and bring it more tothe form because they are soulmates and they've
known each other from previous lifetimes.And Mitchell, he's what he's saying right
(38:32):
now is that he dropped a coupleof before he made that decision to take
his own life. He gave likesigns and he felt like everyone was better
off without him, and that's nottrue. But if you really believe that
it only makes it worse. Andhow you feel, so Mitchell is he
(38:58):
comes in dreams a lot and he'sshowing a beautiful I think it's leather,
like a leather jacket black. It'sit's beautiful. And maybe your son has
this jacket. I don't know,but he's very proud of these jackets.
And he's a lot with his mom. He's taking care of his mom.
(39:20):
Yeah, very connected to his motheras well. Mm hmm. Okay,
So that's what's sorry, No Isaid, I wanted to say. This
is what Mitchell wanted to share.Mm hmmm. Yeah. Now when we
go to your website, barbaradmedium dotcom, what are we going to find
(39:42):
there? A lot? Okay,a little bit more. Yeah, I
gave a lot of I have alot of free things on my website,
free ebooks and free healing. AndI just put on a new course.
I give a mediumship course where Iguide people personally to become if I want
(40:06):
to become a psychic medium themselves,with personal guidance and a lot of background
stories about spirit guides and things likethat. And I try to add whenever
I feel inspired, like, oh, I want to share this with people
like stories about readings that I hadand what it's very interesting. I put
(40:27):
it on my blog. So,yeah, do you have a reading today
that still disturbs you in some way? Yes? Yeah, well I once
had a reading with a psychopath andit was something I had to learn.
I didn't I don't like some lifelessons, but well, here we are.
(40:51):
We're all living and learning. Andthat was really horrible because he abused
his stepdaughter and he was trying tofind out if I could feel that.
He was really challenging me and itwas a horrible human being. And stories
(41:13):
like when people have lost their child. Sometimes years later, I think about
these parents and I hope they're well, it's very emotional the work we do,
and it can stay with us fora very very long time. Yeah.
Absolutely, And you see my throatchakra is like blocking right now,
(41:40):
you can hear it. Yeah,it still is emotional. But I think
if you don't love people, youcannot do this work because, like you,
you really want to help. It'sin your blood and as am I,
so you have to deal with theenormous emotions that come with it.
(42:06):
Yeah, and if you don't dealwith them, folks, trust me,
not wonderful things happen because you're throwingyour your energy off balance, and what
your energy is off balance, thatopens the door for disease and many other
things to come in. Yeah.Well, Barbara, I've really enjoyed your
time today. Our time is up. But could you give me a pearl
(42:28):
of wisdom to share with the audience, please, a pearl of wisdom.
Well, something that helped me enormouslyis to always check what you're thinking,
what you're saying, and what you'rewriting. If it's negative, don't say
(42:51):
it, don't write it, anddon't think it unless you have to in
a conflict or something. But like, try to get rid of all the
negative thoughts and even like oh it'sraining today or I have a bad hair
day, that's that's negative too.So I think that will be a boost
for your entire life, your yourhealth, your relationships, your money,
(43:15):
your everything when you practice being morepositive. Okay, Well, thank you
for that. I really appreciate it, and Barbara, I appreciate you.
