on the audio. I'm on YouTubebecause we have an amazing guest today and
this podcast is the place to beif you want to have conversations about spirituality,
adventure, travel, life, andespecially spirituality, because we're going to
talk about all the things I love, exploring some of the corners of spirituality,
(00:44):
bringing in new ideas and new conceptsthat maybe you haven't been exposed to
or maybe you're gonna hear about itin a different way. And the cool
thing about today's topic about a Cashicmediumship, is that you have, because
of me in this podcast, You'veheard of a Kasha and you've heard of
medium ship, but have you heardof them together. So I'm excited to
(01:04):
bring on Rachel today. So beforeI bring her on, let me just
tell you a little bit about whoshe is. I'll read her bio here
so you have an idea. Soshe is a psychic medium and medicine woman
who specializes in Akashic record readings.She's a reiki master, holistic life coach,
singer, and sacred travel guide.Oh I like that. One of
(01:26):
her favorite things is to lead healingwarriors and guided meditation. I love that,
Rachel, by the way, beforeI bring you on, because when
I got my hair shaved over here, the girl who did it, she
was like, Oh my god,You're such like a warrior vibe, you
know, So that's really cool.I really resonate with that. So,
because Rachel believes everyone deserves a safespace to heal and experience spiritual breakthrough,
(01:49):
she uses her trauma and form trainingfrom sixteen plus years working in the nonprofit
sector. In each reading and healingsession, she works with the angelic realm
Akaushaic record key first, the ascendedmasters, spirit guides, teachers, and
ancestors to support you on your ownhealing journey. She grew up in a
farm in North Dakota. I lovethat we're like super country right now where
(02:09):

where she obtained her Masters in SocialJustice and Intercultural relations, and she
moved to New Hampshire in Tales andseven, where she lives with her husband's
son, stepdaughter and kat Luna.Rachel's the CEO of Rachel Merril LLC and
is the author of I Sang Anyway, a Stepmom's spiritual memoir of healings.
(02:30):
So let's bring Rachel onto the podcast. Welcome, Hello, Hi, I'm
excited to be here. Thank youfor the wonderful intro. Jenny, and
I just love your energy, energyand what you bring to people with both
here for healing. So I'm excitedabout that. It's really my objective to
(02:53):
bring healing for every word today,to reach the people that I meant to
hear this. I love it.And you know, we've known each other
for a bit now. We've donesome work together, and we've done a
CASHO record READI together and all thatand some of that someone in your bio
like I didn't really realize and I'mlike, oh my god, like that
was like legit, like in themoment reacting to your bio, which was
(03:14):
awesome. So before we dive in, you know, I've just been starting
to kind of ask this question atthe beginning, you know, who are
you Okay, we read the bio. Cool, we got the check marks,
you know, to understand a littlebit more. But like, who
are you? What do you wantto share? Who are you? Any
direction her? I am a psychicmedium, I'm a medicine woman, and
(03:35):
as you mentioned, I'm a sacredtravel guide. Really, I would say
that my journey in this direction startedin twenty fifteen. I had a friend
passed away suddenly. Her name wasAmanda and she was only thirty six.
There was no cause of death.It was really sudden. Her daughter,
my son. They went to daycaretogether, and so after she passed away,
(04:00):
I felt like she was trying togive me messages. Up until that
point, I had not really hadthat kind of experience. The first thing
that happened was I felt like shepulled me to go to this crystal shop.
I went inside and lo and behold. The crystal shop owner had worked
(04:23):
with my friend and I had mether at her funeral. So that was
the first thing that happened. Andthen the second thing that happened was about
a week later, so very closein time proximity. One of my kids
broke my laptop and I needed anew one, so I went online to
a site that's similar to Craigslist.I found a laptop for sale from this
(04:46):
man who said he would be outin his driveway with his wife and his
kids. So I said, great, the neighborhood sounded familiar. I drove
all the way out there, andit was right down the street from my
friend's house. Also, he saidthat his whole family was really good friends
with her, and I thought,out of all the places in the world
(05:09):
where I could buy a laptop from, what are the chances that it would
be on the same street. Andso from that point, as I mentioned
my book, I sang, anyway, I have a copy right here.
Became really intrigued because my personal journey. I was raised as a very devout
Christian. I went to church everysingle weekend. But I was also raised
(05:31):
to believe that any spirituality was evil, so I was really nervous about like
going to crystal shops any of thatkind of thing. So it was sort
of like I tentatively took a stepinto this world with the crystals, and
then I decided I wanted to becomea reiki master. That was like opening
(05:53):
another door for me, But itwasn't really until I studied the Acoustic records
our favorite thing. Until I studiedthe Acoshic records that things start to get
really interesting because I did start tohave contact with people's loved ones somewhat unexpectedly.
(06:18):
So, for example, what Ido in the Acoshic Records readings is
I use the Pathway prayer. Ising that in the style of Linda Howe,
and then I go in and Iask after I connect to that person's
heart center and surround us with lovingprotection. I call in their wise and
(06:40):
compassionate spirit guide, and when Ireceived messages for them, sometimes I also
will see someone coming in on theirmasculine or feminine side, and this gives
me clues into who this might be. So the doors really open to mediumship
(07:03):
with Acoustic records readings. But Ireally the number one thing I would say
that accelerated my journey with mediumship,though, is the continued work on trusting
myself. I know that you havetalked about that before, Jenny and the
Acoustic records, but truly knowing howto connect with our left ones on the
(07:28):
other side really comes down to trustand listening to our bodies, because every
single one of us we have theability to be a medium, but we've
kind of been lulled by society intothis almost like a hypnosis of forgetting our
abilities that we were all given.And this is why I'm excited to connect
(07:51):
people to mediumship and to just reallyprovide them with this healing experience because the
way that I view it is whenwe are reminded in fact that we are
never actually alone, and when wedie, life is not truly over,
(08:13):
our healing through mediumship can really beginand we can grieve while we're we know
that we can still connect through theheart center with our loved ones on the
other side. So that's really specialto me. And just seeing the hope
on people's faces when I share thesemessages with them, that's really inspiring to
(08:35):
me. You know. It's it'sinteresting because you know, there's a part
of me that wants to sit andspend I don't know, ten minutes sitting
here talking about what the Acoshic Recordsis and you know, what mediumship is
and all of that, and thenthere's the other part of me that's like,
all right, from a podcast perspective, I've been talking about this for
(08:58):
many episodes. I've had so manydifferent you know, variations of this come
through from a YouTube perspective. Eventhough not all of my podcasts are like
on video like this one. I'vealso done live channeled readings and I've done
things. So if this is yourfirst exposure to this work, what I'd
like us to do is maybe justtalk about before I say that, like
(09:20):
my head jumped ahead. So ifthis is your first exposure this work,
know that you can go a littlebit deeper into Rachel's materials and to my
materials to be able to learn alittle bit more about the Acoshack Records.
And just by listening you're going topick up some new ones in our conversation.
So we're not going to sit hereand spend a lot of time like
breaking it down what it is.But what I would like us to do
(09:43):
is just to set the table firstby talking about, like what does the
Acoshic records mean to? Like,what does it mean to you? Like
and maybe even how you came intoit. You shared a bit like how
your story, but like why isit so special? Like yeah, so
I'd love to talk about that.So in my perspective, and there are
(10:03):
multiple perspectives, I'd like to acknowledgethat first, in my perspective, the
Acoshic records are like a spiritual library, and in them they contain all of
the information and energy from the past, present, and future. And because
of that, because it is everything, it's connected to everything. You can
(10:26):
if you receive an Acoshic Records readingfrom Jenny or from me or someone else,
then you may experience information about apast life or healing. We could
also do ancestral clearing, which helpsto heal some of that trauma that comes
from generations back. And in allof that, mediumship is possible because we
(10:52):
have sort of this veil where I, for example, in my own house,
I know that there is a spiritwho lives here. I've talked to
her. Her name is Elaine.And one day I was just watching TV.
I'll tell you this story really quicklybefore I go back into answering the
rest of your question, and Ijust felt like I needed to turn off
(11:15):
the TV. I didn't know why. It was like my nervous system was
just kind of alerting me. SoI turned off the TV and I started
remembering my training from John Holland andLauren Rainbow, and I just kind of
sat and breathed, and I pausedand asked some questions, and she told
(11:37):
me she loved to cook Greek food. She showed me this huge table filled
with delicious foods, and just outof curiosity, I decided, I really
want to look up her obituary soI can see as this just like in
my head, I believe in myabilities, but as this real, and
(11:58):
sure enough in the obituary she wasa lover of making much Greek food or
something like that. It really likeit's spelled out exactly what she had told
me. I had not seen thatbefore, and it was a confirmation that
I talked to Elaine and she saidshe was so glad that I communicated with
her, because we've lived her formaybe eight years and she has tried to
(12:22):
talk to each one of each memberof my family, and finally I acknowledged
her. So, going back tothe Acoshic records, and even like the
connection to mediumship and the Acoshic records, I think something that makes Acoshic records
mediumship really special is that it isa little bit different from evidential mediumship.
(12:48):
So traditional or evidential mediumship is whenlet's say that you go to one of
these events like a spirit gallery andyou're all sitting there waiting with anticipation.
You're like, Oh, I reallyhope that I'm going to hear from my
aunt Helen. I'm just making thisname up. I don't have an aunt
(13:09):
Helen. But and so with evidentialmediumship, you might hear that your aunt
Helen wore a gold wrist watch,I had the initials of your uncle.
You might find out her favorite colorwas purple, and she loved to eat
sushi, and all these little details. And so in the Akashak records,
(13:31):
not only would you possibly get thisevidential information making you know, making it
known that this really is the contactwith your loved one, but you're getting
information from the spirit guides or theAkoshak records keepers. So I when I
do my mediumship, I connect withthe spirit and I also may connect with
(13:56):
the spirit guide, so that itin my viewpoint, is like a larger
picture and almost like another angle ofapproaching it. It's not better or worse.
It just simply is, and itis. You can look at it
as like your own blend of mediumshipif you do a Kashak medium ship,
(14:20):
because it is at like larger pictureand you're blending styles. It is just
as each of us has our ownstyle whatever we are doing, mediumship can
be like this too, So I'dlike to look at it like you're painting
with all these different colors of thebrush and you're making large mural. So
that's why I love a Kashak mediumship. You really have this large,
(14:43):
larger picture. Interesting. So youknow, I even though I know the
Acosha records and you and I havetalked, I feel like I had a
medium experience within. Yes, SoI have a level of familiarity that's like
super basic, right, and thenI have what I've seen through the Long
(15:05):
Island medium or other mediums. Probablywhat you're talking about is evidential medium is
the most popular. So what I'mcurious and I really don't know this is
okay. So I know somebody wholost their husband about a year and a
half ago. It was very traumaticand they and whatnot, right, they
(15:28):
went to mediums and you know,had their readings. So would someone in
that type of a situation seek outin a cautionic medium ship reading where they
need to be at a different pointin their journey? Like how would there
be a difference and why someone wouldseek you out, especially with like the
mediumship title. I think that theonly difference really would be like for the
(15:54):
person who is is open to aninterested and also receiving messages from the spirit
guides. And so someone who haslike a basic understanding of spirituality may benefit
a little bit more, or atleast someone who has the willingness, the
openness of their heart to receive.Because you really you need to ask yourself,
(16:17):
do I have this container that isbig enough to receive this information?
What do I want to receive?Because anyone can receive evidential messages, But
then do you also want the wisdomfrom the Acashic records keepers? Do you
also want that other additional information?And yes, you can get healing wisdom
(16:42):
from your ancestors, from your lovedones on the other side, that's wonderful.
But also you could if you areinterested in more, then you can
receive additional messages. And something that'sfascinating too with connecting with ancestors is that
they can help give you information aboutyour health. So yes, you can
(17:07):
should still continue to go to adoctor. For example, Jenny and I
are not licensed to prescribe any medication. We are not doctors. However,
we can be messengers that bring inthis additional information for you. So I
like to look at it as likeyou maybe would have a variety of different
(17:32):
candy flavors or something you're going shopping, and you want to be able to
select from all these different options.And again there's nothing wrong with evidential medium
ship, but Akashic medium ship givesyou more variety, you know. And
what I heard, and please correctme, because I'm just kind of like
(17:52):
taking in what I hear and thenkind of like rolling it back is what
I'm hearing is just based on whatthis family member we're sharing with me.
You know, they of course reallywanted to talk and connect with their loved
one and even found a medium whoyou know only takes a handful of people
a year, got on the list, you know, that kind of thing.
(18:17):
And what I heard with what yousaid, based on my understand with
the Cashic records, is that whatyou said it perfectly with like the spiritual
and being open, is that Ithink too maybe a certain level of healing
on that person because it is ofthe utmost importance to connect with that loved
one, which I know we couldprobably even go into even with mediumship,
(18:37):
even though you've got the medium whodoes it handful of times a year,
you still may not get connected withthat loved one. So there's that.
But I'm just thinking, like beforewe talk about that piece, like the
Akashic records piece, like someone who'smaybe healed a little bit further in their
healing journey to then receive more oflike a well rounded so that that way,
(18:59):
if that loved one comes in,it's kind of like a more holistic
message. And does that make sense? Yes, I have definitely. I
mean even this past weekend, Iwas at a fair delivering some Akashic mediumship
and the message that came through forthat person, it was a very fascinating,
(19:22):
like deep level of wisdom message.But I said, because the spirit
guides wanted me to share with thisperson, I said, you received this
message because you were ready to receiveit, and they said, good job,
congratulations through me. That not everyonewould be ready to receive this message.
(19:45):
So yes, very exactly right.That it depends what you are looking
for, what you are ready tohear. And sometimes, and there's no
shame in this, some people arenot even ready. Do you hear any
messages of mediumship? And that's Okay, that is everyone's right, and it's
part of the healing journey, partof grieving that wherever you are, that's
(20:07):
that is respectable. Yeah, yeah, you know, And I was thinking
too, like the other aspect ofthis that I've come to really enjoy and
understand from the energetic side of things, from soul path, from all of
those kind of fun, glamorous wordsthat have truth, but they're also still
like descriptor words. That means somuch more than the words, is that
(20:30):
we are drawn to different people,maybe an angel reading or a tarot reading
or a medium reading or acoustic recordsor whatever. We're drawn to different people
for different reasons. So sometimes let'ssay, for example, just a hypothetical
situation, someone has lost someone.You know they're ready for your type of
(20:51):
reading, like an acoustic mediumship reading, since that's something that came to you
and it's something that you're strong in. There, maybe more drawn to you
to do a reading with you anda couch a quickord reading with you than
they would for me, just likethe things the places that I'm strong,
Yeah, you know, like they'regoing to be drawn to me for that.
And even let's say someone was superstrong and pulling and telling all of
(21:15):
your past lives or something you wouldbe drawn to that you know, yeah,
absolutely, there's a resonance that happens, and everyone is vibrating a little
bit differently. So whenever I goto fairs or wherever I'm doing any kind
of a reading, I don't worryabout who's coming to my table or who
is contacting me booking appointments with me. I always say that whoever is meant
(21:41):
to be in contact with me willcome to me, and I trust that
the message will be received by theperson who's meant to receive it. And
I want to go back to thatpoint they were talking about about your friend
who is grieving. There is apossible misconception by some people that when mediums
(22:03):
go in to do a reading thatthey can just call up the spirits and
they'll all come in and that wouldbe lovely. But there are a lot
of factors that contribute to the experience. So when I'm doing a gallery reading,
let's say, for example, infront of a group of people,
(22:26):
one thing that would affect how thespirit may or may not come in is
how long ago have they passed.That's only one factor, So let's say
it may take like a year afterthey're passing for them to come through.
When they are on the other side, they need to learn how to communicate
(22:48):
with us. Just as I continueto be a student of mediumship, I
continue to learn more and more everyday. On the other side, they
need to learn as well. Andthe other factor could be that they don't
want to talk to you. Andfor me, as the medium, I
cannot control that. I come intoeach of the readings with the utmost respect
(23:14):
for spirit, and I'm very awarethat they have free will. We have
free will, and I acknowledge thatthey have power. I have power.
Even before we recorded this podcast,I was talking about mediumship out loud,
and I swear it was because Iwas talking about mediumship, I lost power
(23:37):
for a little over half an hourand I was like, okay, Archangel
Michael, if you could come inand restore the power now, that would
be really great. And it didn'thappen for a while, and then I
was like, well, maybe ifI call it fairies in. I don't
know what will it take to recordthis podcast on time, but we were
(23:59):
only like three minutes late, soyeah, yeah, So I think there
are multiple things to be aware of. But just know for anyone listening that
you your loved ones, they ingeneral, they want to talk to you,
They want to communicate with you,and to let you know that they're
still here, that they still canwalk among us or provide messages from the
(24:29):
other side. And the distance betweenwhere we are here and where they are
is it's much shorter and closer thanmany people believe. And then I had
another point that I really want tomake sure I don't forget to talk about
the importance in mediumship of discernment.I think I would be doing everyone a
(24:53):
disservice if I didn't mention the worddiscernment. This is something again that I
continue to practice every day in theAcoshic records and doing mediumship. But what
I mean by discernment is when youare working with the spirit world, it
is really important to be respectful andto be really careful. So a great
(25:18):
example of this would be, let'ssay you go to a concert, your
favorite concert. You probably know thatmost of the people there are going to
be really fun and great and havinga good time, but there are going
to probably also be those people whomaybe they got drunk or whatever, happened,
(25:40):
and they're not a happy drunk.They're like an angry drunk, or
they're like throwing things or spilling things, and you want to avoid that side
of the stadium or whatever it is. So it's like that if you feel
like you're at a concert and youfeel like, oh, I should probably
avoid that section over there. Thatperson's yelling and knocking stuff over It's the
(26:03):
same within the spirit world. Soit's important not to get into your ego.
If you're doing this type of work, or if you are even like
receiving messages and this type of work, it's important to call in your spiritual
protection, like calling in Archangel Michaelcalling in the christ consciousness. I call
(26:29):
in the violet flame of Saint Germain, and I imagine it's surrounding me.
But notice, going back to thatword discernment, notice in your body,
does something feel off, like aboutthe message or about the situation. How
does it feel? Because if it'sjust that little bit off, you may
(26:52):
want to avoid. You may wantto like ask that spirit to like step,
or you may want to if you'regetting a reading, go to someone
else for reading if you feel likesomething is off. So really just trusting
your body, trusting your intuition.It can just be like the smallest feeling
(27:15):
that oh, something's not quite right. You want to go with what feels
good, with what feels natural,and this will really help protect you.
I'm not trying to say this inany way, shape or form to scare
anybody, but it's really an importanttopic that I have personally struggled with and
(27:37):
continue to remain aware of that nobody'sperfect. We all need to be aware
of how do we feel around people, and then also spirits, because the
spirits are they were people walking aroundwith us before. So you can think
of it like that. Pay attentionto how your body feels and that will
(27:59):
give you a lot of whats themand fair work. Yeah, and I'll
add too on the discernment piece.I feel like anything that comes through Rachel,
myself or any other channeled person isto be very mindful and make sure
you're not just taking all of thatas like the truth, the God,
the thing whatever. Like you haveto take what resonates for you and leave
(28:25):
what doesn't. Because I know thatwe love the energy of like you know,
channeled messages and knowing that it's comingfrom this higher source and this higher
power, you know, but atthe same time, not everything that darryl
Anka channels with Bashar or I'm likenot pulling any losing all the names rock
about Goldsmith's channels of Pladians, likeyeah, there are a lot of different
(28:48):
yeah, whatever. You know,it's exciting because you're like, wow,
there's this wisdom here. But justto be mindful is just take what resonates
and leave what doesn't and not toget to it hatched to one of those
types of people or like even comingto Rachel and I know we both agree
on this, like we don't wantyou to become dependent on readings from us.
(29:08):
The ultimate goal, like we're facilitatingbeing a mirror back to you for
you to really see and recognize yourown power. Yes, if you want
to book bi weekly with us,we won't complain. However, if you
want to call us up every day, we might be like trying to use
your own intuition. Yeah, oreven at least for me, I feel
(29:30):
like for a period of time wemay work closer, but then I don't.
I don't want you to become dependent. I felt this way when I
was just doing coaching too, LikeI don't want you to be dependent on
me for your life transformation, foryour growth. Like, yes, at
some point you gotta leave the nest. You gotta go fly and go do
your thing. You know, yes, exactly. So okay, can I
(29:56):
can I share a story about thesernament? Okay? So before I tell
my story, I do want tosay that spirits do not like to be
called ghosts. This is something tobe aware of and don't make fun of
them because you might find yourself gettingsick or something else happening. So what
(30:17):
happened was I was with my friendand we went out to dinner at a
local restaurant here in Conford, Hampshire. After my friend finished her dinner,
we walked out to her car toput her box of leftovers in the car
well. As we were walking aroundthe corner, I could hear a skateboard
coming and this guy, young guyin his twenties came around the corner,
(30:41):
had long hair. Did I tellyou this story already? No? Okay,
this will I will never forget this. So this guy came around the
corner, long hair, and heslowed down his skateboard enough to look at
me and say, you have abig forehead. And I was shocked.
(31:02):
I was like, that is sorude. I can't believe and that it
but something felt off. Something felloff about this, especially because my friend
kept talking like she was just likeda da da da dada, talking about
her story and didn't stop when thisguy came around the corner on the skateboard.
(31:22):
So something was nagging me and naggingme. Something didn't feel right,
so I reached out to my friend. Later I texted her and I said,
Hey, what did you think aboutthat rude comment that the guy on
the skateboard said to me? Andshe said, what guy on the skateboard?
Oh? Wow, so's on physicallythere he was a spirit who looks
(31:47):
like an average person. But sotrust your intuition. When that happened to
me. That was shortly after Istarted studying the acoustic records. And before
that and again like be careful whatyou say out loud, I had just
said, oh, I don't seespirits, and then this guy came around
(32:07):
the corner on a skateboard. Andthen maybe a month later I said,
I don't hear spirits like I knowthings, I don't hear them. But
then when I was doing acoustic records, readings on a Facebook live I was
talking about this woman's friend who hadpassed away, this man, and everyone
(32:30):
on the live stream heard him saythe word yeah, and my eyes flew
open because I usually do my readingswith my eyes close mediumship, I might
do my eyes with my eyes open. But everyone heard him say yeah,
And that was right after her hadjust finished saying, oh, I don't
hear them. So when the nexttime you say, oh, I don't
(32:51):
see I don't hear whatever, youjust watch out, because you might you
might have the universe saying watch thisway. It's such a good story.
And you know, I'm sure thatthere's so many stories that we both could
share, because you know, theI'm always blown away. And I find
(33:12):
it sometimes like the words to describethe experience with clients, with myself and
the records, It's like sometimes thewords don't really fit, but overall,
it's just such a feeling of loveyeah, and care. It's like this
like energetic hug of support. Yeah. It's like the universe does see you.
The universe does love you and wantthe best for you, even if
(33:37):
these other like tricky things are happeningto get your attention. In general,
the experiences are really loving and wonderfuland not darring like the skateboard guy.
Yeah right right. But then alsotoo, I feel like some of those
things might have been in place inour sole path to help stop to just
(34:00):
a lesson some of those I think, yes, I think for me,
I learned the power of my wordsbecause I noticed as soon as I said
something, well, then the universewas like, well, actually, now
you can. It was funny.I actually pulled one of these spirit animal
oracle cards earlier this morning, andI forget which animal it was, but
(34:22):
it was it was the power ofyour words, so that it was straight
one of the ones I pulled.I love that there as a deer that
on that deck. Actually, Ilove that. In my book, the
very last chapter, I talked abouthow I went to do a healim ceremony
(34:44):
in the land of my family's farmin North Dakota. I saw a deer
coming in and it was like earlyin the morning. They seemed to come
out of nowhere. It was areally special spiritual experience. So I know,
we've talked about doing like just alittle mini reading so people could experience
a mini a cashion mediumship reading.So people could experience it. And you've
(35:07):
already covered some of the things thatwe were talking about, like it's possible
that one of my loved ones comesthrough. It's possible they don't. It's
really about what is the message.So you guys have heard me on the
podcast and on the YouTube do mychanneling, and I want you to be
able to experience another version and experienceRachel and feel the energy right of how
(35:30):
this works. And so before wedo, I want to pull a card
that is for the listeners and watchers. Is like I just like I have
these out and I want to doit earlier. And if you want to
pull until you can, I don'tknow if you have any, but I
know you do pull cards, butyou can't if you feel guided. I
have like twenty five decks, butthey're not with me right now. None
(35:53):
of them are within reach. No, that was like four cards that came
out from of them are in myoffice or in my bedroom. I keep
getting two cards. So I hadlike four cards then come out and then
now two, so I have two. I have Sandpiper spirit, which is
be playful, nice and dog spirit, be loyal to let you love.
(36:15):
I love that they're both God,they're both so I love. If you're
on the video, you can seewhat there we go. There's so beautiful
artwork in this day. I'm notgoing to read from the book, but
these are the reminders for everybody today. I have another quick story to share,
if that's okay. Okay. SoI was at a restaurant, another
(36:37):
local restaurant, having breakfast with afriend, and I noticed that the server
had these really beautiful butterfly earrings.So I said to her, Oh,
I love your earrings. And shetouched them and said, oh, yeah,
I wear these and memory of mybrother who passed away. And as
soon as she said that, Icould see him. It was more of
(37:00):
like a knowing with my heart,because he came right over to her.
And I said, I hope youdon't mind, but I am a psychic
medium. And as soon as youmentioned your brother, he came right over
to you. She was so sohappy about it. She said, you
(37:20):
just made my day, and shesaid it a couple of times. Then
maybe a few days later, Iwas in the grocery store. She came
with her friend, running across thewhole grocery store. She's like, that's
the woman who told me about mybrother, and she was so happy.
So it was really meaningful to meand really special. I mean first I
(37:42):
laughed because I was like, oh, I guess I'm like this local celebrity
at the grocery store. But thenthe other part of me that really wanted
to celebrate with her was that whilelook at the healing power of the medium
ship, that we really can connectwith our loved ones on the other side
(38:04):
and receive these messages, including messagesthat maybe we didn't think we would ever
hear them, but these comforting messagesthat bring in acknowledgement, that bring in
maybe a release of guilt or shameor these really big things that can come
up because of the grief and becauseof what happened while that person was alive
(38:29):
with us. So I really wantedto acknowledge the healing that can happen and
also say thank you to that womanwho ran across the grocery store to find
me. I was honored to bringin her brother. It was very sweet.
Oh that's awesome. I love that. I love those stories. I
(38:49):
mean, there's just so many,there's so many beautiful ones. And you
know, one thing I always liketo say, too because of us,
people like us putting things like thisout here is just to remember, you
know, you hear these examples,these stories, these things, You're not
gonna be able to call up rachelor I'd be like, oh, you
know, you touched her earring,and the brother came, can you do
the same for me? Like itjust kind of doesn't work like that,
(39:14):
Like it couldn't work like that.But it's not a guarantee. And that's
when I start out my spirit galleriesor readings. I do try to get
that just claimer, and in general, I do make contact with the loved
one, but it's not a guaranteebecause they have free will just like we
do. And they and I heardsomeone another person who does mediumship is part
(39:37):
of their intuitive stuff. It's justa small piece. And one of the
things she said that I really likedwas you can set the intention and call
them in, you know, andbring them in, but understand they may
be on some kind of a spiritmission. You know, they can't come
right now and they're doing something elseat that moment. It wasn't you know
there They still love you, theystill care about you, They didn't forget
(39:59):
about you. They just might behandling something else. Yeah. And I
do have to say though, thatif you the listener, you do call
in that loved one and you talkto them before you go to see a
medium. Actually, you're increasing thechances that you'll hear from your loved one.
(40:20):
They spirits usually will come in fasteror more often if you yourself have
been saying out loud, hey,mom or aunt Joe or whoever like,
would you please come in to bringme messages? And because I hear you,
they hear all of us when weare saying these things and making the
(40:42):
electricity go out in my house.Right. Oh, I love that.
Thank you for sharing that You're welcome. I actually I do feel like there
may be a female spirit coming infor you and we can see if we
can try to get some information ormessages. Yeah, all right, So
(41:04):
I'm just going to ask them tostep in closer. It is feeling more
like a grandmother type of person.I'm hearing, like on your dad's side,
has your grandmother and your dad's sidepassed m Yeah, okay, okay,
And I'm going to ask her tojust step in really closely. And
(41:39):
she's saying that she really liked tobake that she liked to bake bread.
And she's showing me you with likesome ribbons in your hair. Did you
(41:59):
like to wear ribbons in your hairat all? Like on a ponytail?
Baby? I don't remember when you'rereally young. Yeah, I don't remember,
probably bows and stuff. Yeah,yeah, it's like a bow.
And let's see, do you rememberher baking and the bread. I like
to see if there's validation there.If you don't remember, it's okay.
(42:23):
Yeah. So on that side,I mean, I was one of like
thirty grandchildren. Oh my gosh,there's so many grandchildres possible she did.
It's not something that stands out,you know, but I am going to
ask family members after. Yeah.Yeah. So she's showing that when she
(42:43):
was younger she had dark hair.I'm gonna ask her later. So she
(43:14):
is, she's showing that she likesto dance at some point, but there
was almost like this stigma around thedance, so she almost like kept it
behind closed doors like when she wasyounger. And may see, I'm going
(43:40):
to ask her some questions. Didyou call her grand No, both of
are just grandma, Yeah, grandma. Okay, So it actually feels like
(44:10):
she is pulling away already. Sosometimes there are spirits that will come in
and give me a message for likea solid half hour or more, but
it really depends on the person.So it feels like she's she kind of
(44:30):
came in to say hello and thatshe loves you, and then she's kind
of like moving on. But whenI feel like it's possible that that message
was not for me, it ispossible, yeah, meaning that you know,
I'm about to see my whole familyin July on that side and there
may be stuff that they resonate with. I would love to find out about
(44:54):
that. Yeah, I'm definitely goingto because I'm curious because I just feel
like as it was coming through,I was like, I just feel like
this isn't for me, and I'mhere because the conduit for in that side
is more spiritual jazz into this typeof stuff. So yeah, I'm curious
(45:15):
for sure. Yeah, I'm excitedto find out. Awesome. Let's also
a minder too, because sometimes thathappens, right, like the message may
not be for us, it couldbe for Yeah. And the other thing
too, is it's really interesting thatspirit is so efficient that if like if
I'm doing a gallery reading I mightbe describing somebody and I would say,
(45:37):
like, raise your hand if thatsounds like your person. There might be
three people who raise their hands,and it could just be like all these
people's loved ones were so similar andsometimes they might like all sit in the
same section of the audience. Soyeah, I could also be someone who
(45:59):
was listening into this podcast. Itmight be for you. But I was
feeling that there was a female spiritcoming in, like a grandmother that was
beautiful, honce. I thank youto her for coming in. Yeah,
and I want to add here too. You know, I've I've been very
grateful that I have not I've beenvery fortunate. It's actually probably a better
(46:22):
way to say it that I haveactually not had any big major losses like
others have had in their life.I've lost all of my grandparents at this
point, and that's it, youknow, as far as anybody who's within
that circle, and of course Iknow people who have lost people, but
as far as you know, havingthat really close impact. So I also
(46:45):
understand that with this, you know, I knew that if a grandma or
grandpa, I knew it was probablygonna be a grandma that was going to
come through to be honest over Grandma, and I knew that if they came
in it was going to be short, Yeah, because or wasn't. I
wasn't super close to really either.Okay, you know so there really isn't
(47:06):
you know what I'm saying, Like, Yeah, I think that's a great
example of it. You can't reallynecessarily go in with certain expectations for your
reading because the more open you areto receiving, then the more information that
could come in. But again wecan't. We can't control spirit, nor
do we want to know. AndI mean as cool as it would be
(47:28):
to be able to have like amore in depth reading, one thing that
I'm gaining from you from this iscool. If I want to communicate with
my grandparents, then cool, I'mgonna I can communicate with them at any
time. It doesn't have to bethrough you or you know. Yeah,
So as long as you're just speakingout loud, they usually will come over
(47:49):
to you and they'll hear you.Oftentimes, if someone is talking to me
and they're talking about their left one, I see them come right over and
usually placed a hand on the shoulder, hands on the shoulder, and sometimes
it's almost like their golden light thatcomes in. But often they start talking
about their loved one and that personjust comes right. Don't words to them
(48:13):
what you're talking about there. I'veactually the grandma on the other side has
come to me in dreams quite abit, very strongly, very vividly,
in dreams, teach me lessons aboutmy mom, you know, like share
a message about my mom or thatrelationship or whatever. And they've all been
very timely. And even the wayshe's come to me in dreams has shown
(48:34):
a side of her that I didnot experience in person. It's got a
much more free side than what Iexperienced in person. So I've definitely have
had her drop into dreams for sure. Yeah, so I'm glad that you
mentioned that, because that is anotherway that we can communicate with our loved
ones. They do come through inour dreams, and then pay attention to
(48:57):
what that was, and maybe maybeeven right down if you want to come
back to it later, because theymight give you like symbols or messages.
It don't make sense when you wakeup, but they might make sense in
a month or a year or someother time. I have another question,
and I feel like I know theanswer for this from an Akashic record standpoint,
But I'm curious from a medium standpoint, would I be able to be
(49:22):
I don't know, a surrogate.I guess I don't know if it's the
right word. But in this scenarioto invite in, for example, my
family members, you know, spousewho passed away, would I be able
to invite them in even though Ididn't really have a relationship, to be
able to receive a message, especiallyin a public format like this, like
(49:43):
can you do? Because yeah,absolutely you can. I actually have a
spirit gallery coming up this Friday,and so to compare get in that space.
First of all, I haven't beendrinking alcohol at all this week.
Do not do that if you're tryingto get clear messages. And second of
all, I've been practicing with myhusband. He will tell me like,
(50:07):
oh, I would like you tosee if you can bring these different people.
And so these are people that Inever met. I don't know anything
about them other than their name.Maybe I saw a picture. But yeah,
definitely you can, especially if youknow how to read the acostic records.
You can call in somebody and thenmaybe you will make contact with them.
(50:30):
Maybe you won't but probably probably wellas long as you trust. And
trust and the discernment are the importantthings to consider. Now, one another
follow up question, but a littlebit different. Right in a reading,
at at least the ones that I'vehad. You know, one of the
questions that people will ask is whatmay I know about my relationship with this
(50:52):
person? Right? And then whatevercomes through? And so I'd know that
it's totally okay to ask about peoplehave passed as part of that question.
So do you feel like like aquestion like that, like what may I
know about? And then you knowmy grandma? You feel like a question
like that's still a form of mediumship? Or is it just more reading that
(51:13):
person's acoustic record and what it hadto do with like the learning from that.
Yeah, it could. It couldbe either. It depends on what
your intention is as the acoustic recordsreader. Yes, so both the person
asking what's their intention and then theperson doing the reading what is their intention?
Then that comes together for the healingand the information that that comes through.
(51:38):
I just remembered one thing that Iforgot to bring up about crystal.
So I have this crystal I've beenIt's a kyanite. It's good for balancing
energies. I've been holding it thiswhole time, And the reason why I
bring it up is when I firststarted learning more about mediumship, I thought,
well, when I do acoustic recordsreadings, always hold a crystal,
(52:00):
like to amplify the energy. Sothen I thought, well, that must
mean that I have to hold acrystal for mediumship. But in fact that
is more of like a comfort thing. You don't necessarily have to hold crystals
to do a mediumship. But Ithought that was really fascinating to learn that
(52:20):
from Lauren Rainbow and John Holland,that you can't hold one if you want
to, it's totally your preference,but it's not necessary. You don't have
to hold a crystal. So Ihave a crystal that I'm always holding off
of crystal that's so funny. AndI have my box of crystals here like
(52:44):
just you know, I can't haveany but I could, but I choose
not have anything like what you showedon the screen. So the one she
showed for anybody listening is I don'tknow length from like a fingertip down to
like I don't know mid forearm.It's a big one. When you were
holding and yeah, like that's it'sa bigger one that she held up for
(53:05):
anybody who's listening, you know,like to note with the kay and I
and like that size crystal I choosenot to carry because I'm like, okay,
I gotta like pack it up grade. I don't want to break it.
You know, I'd choose all likesmaller ones, but it could I
could have a bigger one. I'mjust like, if you do feel though
strongly call to hold a crystal whileyou're doing mediumship or receiving a reading,
(53:28):
I recommend obsidian that really detracts ordeflects any negative energies. So actually,
when I do my spirit gallery,I will make sure I have a little
piece of obsidian in each corner ofthe room. And I'm probably going to
be holding this. I mean it'smore of like a comfort thing again,
but it's this stone is great andthe ancient Mayan's used it a lot as
(53:53):
well to protect themselves. That's socool. So if somebody is really intrigued
and feeling called to explore Aksha mediumshipwork and you also do other things too,
yeah, so like where would theygo or what would be the best
next step to connect with you orwhatever. Yeah, So first I would
(54:16):
recommend checking out one of my YouTubevideos. If you go to YouTube,
it's Rachel Merrill. You can searchfor the handles like at Rachel Merrill channels
and every other Wednesday. So thenext one coming up is May thirty.
First I do live stream mediumship withmy friend Kirk Callfield, and so you
(54:42):
could see like what what is themediumship? Like? Thank you for finding
that on the screen. And thenyou can check out my website at Rachel
Meryll dot m E. You canif you want to, you could book
a fifteen minute free resultations. Usuallya discovery call is usually for life coaching,
(55:02):
but I'm happy to get to knowyou if you have any questions about
it. And then I recommend acouple of books, like if you wanted
to study more on your own,I got this really exciting book that I
love called Magical Mediumships by Danielle Dan. I've met Danielle before, I've studied
with her in Bedford, New Hampshire. And then there is another book I'm
(55:29):
just pulling up the name of itright now, and it's called Where Two
Worlds Meet. It is a bookabout mediumship. And also there is an
actual school called the Arthur Finlay Schoolin England that they offer online classes or
in person. But yeah, Iwould love to connect with anyone who wants
(55:52):
to know more about mediumship or ifyou would like reading. I did fifteen
minute, thirty minute, and hourlong readings as well. Oh you expanded
into hour long. Yes, I'malways up for hour long, although I
get nervous the first time I dohour long. That's so funny, you
know, So what I've added becauselike when we last talked, I didn't
(56:13):
even have thirty minute ones and Ijust added them to my scheduling page today
like thirty minute option. I preferthe hour readings. So it's funny that
we've kind of you know what I'msaying, Like, you're always changing,
always expanding. Sometimes it gets shorter, sometimes we might make it longer.
Oh that's so funny. So myresonance I love that. It's so funny.
(56:34):
Well, and one thing I'm goingto say about that, one of
the reasons I did not want tooffer thirty minute readings is because I love
the sixty minute readings so much andI love all the magic that holds in
them. And one thing that myhusband always reminds me of is He's like,
yeah, you love it, butwhat you need? What if they
just need a little taste to likeget over their anxieties about what this is.
(56:55):
I just want to like cry itout and I'm like, okay at
it? You know, yes exactly. I think one thing that's a great
about you. Jenny and I dothe same as we try to meet people
where they're at, and we willdefinitely listen to you what you're looking for.
That's what we will connect with theguides or your ancestors, that the
(57:19):
ascent of Masters, all of thesespirit beings on the other side, We're
going to connect in with them inlove and protection for the highest good and
give you the messages that come through. Awesome. So before we close off,
is there anything that you feel likewe haven't touched on it. Do
you feel like it's really important toshare that maybe I didn't ask or that's
(57:43):
on your heart right now. Iwould say that living intentionally on your healing
and journey, I recommend not discountingthe help of your ancestors because often,
you know, we might light acandle and say thank you to angels,
thank you to the guides, butdon't forget to thank the ancestors who have
(58:05):
brought you here, because none ofus would be here without them and understanding
what they have gone through so thatyou could even exist. I mean,
I think that that is magical allon itself. I love that I've not
heard that before as like a reminder, So thank you for bringing that up
(58:25):
into the awareness. And you knowI've pout have not. That's not something
I've really sat with or really thankedat a deeper level, So thank you
for bringing that up. Very welcome, of course, and thank you for
spending your time here. And wewill just see Rachel on a future episode,
probably if she continues to expand,and of course I'll catch you guys
