1:05

excited and grateful for what you

1:07

have been sending us. So Samantha, you

1:10

want to get us started? Sure, I'd

1:12

be happy too. Our first one says,

1:14

I recently found your podcast and I

1:16

just want to thank you both. It's

1:18

been such a comforting and eye-opening resource

1:21

for me. I've always been a little

1:23

intuitive. But lately I've been having

1:25

a series of experiences that feel

1:27

different, stronger. It's making me wonder

1:29

if I'm going through some kind of

1:32

spiritual awakening that people talk about, and

1:34

I'm reaching out because I'd really appreciate

1:36

your insight and guidance. Here are some

1:38

things that have happened recently. I

1:41

called my doctor's office to book appointments,

1:43

and as the receptionist gave me dates,

1:45

I felt a strong certainty that my

1:47

doctor would be on vacation. I even asked

1:49

her about it, and she told me, no plans

1:51

to go away. A few days later, she

1:53

called me back and said she

1:55

had to reschedule. My doctor was

1:58

going on vacation to Costa Rica.

2:00

earlier conversation and said it was really

2:02

weird that I had brought it up.

2:04

A few days later I had a

2:06

feeling that my hair stylist who's normally

2:09

completely booked would have a cancellation on

2:11

a specific day in time. I called

2:13

to ask and later that day she

2:15

called me back to say someone had

2:17

canceled for that exact slot. She said

2:20

it almost never happens and we were

2:22

both kind of surprised by it. Then

2:24

I had a meeting with my new

2:26

financial advisor and during our chat he

2:29

mentioned that he was having stomach issues

2:31

and had to wait six months for

2:33

an ultrasound. After I left I thought

2:35

about someone I know who works high

2:37

up in radiology. I told the universe

2:40

that I needed him to call me

2:42

so I could ask for a favor.

2:44

The very next day he called me

2:46

completely out of the blue asking me

2:48

for a favor and because of that

2:51

I was able to help get the

2:53

advisor in for an earlier ultrasound. I

2:55

had chills. Me too. Me too. I've

2:57

been listening to your show and one

3:00

night I decided to meditate and ask

3:02

for a sign for my spirit guides.

3:04

The following morning I was making sausages

3:06

and my six-year-old was sitting across the

3:08

kitchen waiting to eat. Out of nowhere

3:11

our Alexa lit up and a woman's

3:13

voice said, is this thing working? Then

3:15

there was a pause and she loudly

3:17

said, oh what the! bleep. My daughter

3:20

and I just stared at each other

3:22

completely confused. We only ever used Alexa

3:24

to play kids bopp, no adult content,

3:26

no connected phones, and this was not

3:28

a voice we'd ever heard before. I

3:31

immediately unplugged it. A little later I

3:33

glanced at the clock and saw 1111.

3:35

I've heard that's kind of a sign

3:37

too, so it felt like something that

3:39

was trying to get my attention. Over

3:42

the years I've had a few other

3:44

experiences that now make me wonder if

3:46

they were connected. I've had brief flashes

3:48

of insight or knowing, but they happened

3:51

so fast I often dismissed them. I

3:53

once had a dream where I sat

3:55

and talked with my dad on a

3:57

park bench for what felt like hours.

3:59

He passed away when I was 12,

4:02

but it felt incredibly real. And during

4:04

a particularly hard time in my life,

4:06

I remember crying and suddenly feeling a

4:08

warm... presence hugging me even though I

4:11

was alone. All of these things are

4:13

starting to feel like more than coincidence.

4:15

I don't feel afraid, just kind of

4:17

in awe and a little unsure of

4:19

what to do next. I'm wondering if

4:22

this is the beginning of a spiritual

4:24

awakening. If so, what would you suggest

4:26

for someone like me? I've started meditating

4:28

more regularly and journaling and I'm trying

4:30

to stay open and grounded. I want

4:33

to lean into this instead of brushing

4:35

it off, but I love a little

4:37

guidance on what this might mean and

4:39

how to move forward and how to

4:42

move forward. Well, I definitely feel that

4:44

she's in the beginning of it sounds

4:46

like yet another spiritual awakening One thing

4:48

Devon I talk about a lot is

4:50

you don't just have one spiritual awakening

4:53

in your life You have different that

4:55

occur at different levels and rates depending

4:57

on your comfort level your readiness and

4:59

what you can assimilate into your life

5:02

at that time So it sounds like

5:04

you've had a few spiritual awakenings from

5:06

your prior experiences you noted the dream

5:08

with your dad and You know feeling

5:10

an invisible presence hug you, but it

5:13

definitely sounds like you're going through quite

5:15

a big one now I mean those

5:17

those knowings that you're getting and the

5:19

fact that you're acting on them I

5:21

think is really really important like just

5:24

how you had the feeling that your

5:26

hair stylist would have an opening and

5:28

boom she did you had a feeling

5:30

that the doctor was going to on

5:33

vacation you asked the receptionist about it

5:35

that was validated you sent out this

5:37

this friend to this friend to call

5:39

you and they did. The fact that

5:41

you're not only getting these intuitive nudges

5:44

but acting on them is going to

5:46

send a very strong message to the

5:48

world of spirit that you're ready for

5:50

this and ready for more. So I

5:53

my main recommendation would be to just

5:55

keep showing up for this work and

5:57

be very like you said grounded but

5:59

also open practical and yet Definitely amenable

6:01

to these wonderful coincidences, which are not

6:04

coincidences. nudges from spirit. And the more

6:06

that you meditate and connect and reach

6:08

out to like-minded people, the more you're

6:10

going to be led in the right

6:12

direction to see how this is going

6:15

to play out for you. I always

6:17

say when I'm teaching psychic classes, you

6:19

know, just because you're intuitive doesn't mean

6:21

you have to do readings. Just because

6:24

you're an artist doesn't mean you have

6:26

to pick up oil painting. There's many

6:28

kinds of artists. Artists who work with

6:30

wood or sculpting or pottery or thread,

6:32

not just paints and markers and oils.

6:35

And so how you choose to use

6:37

your intuition and what you choose to

6:39

do with it is unique for each

6:41

and every person listening. And so I

6:44

would remain open and I would constantly

6:46

in your prayer and meditation life say

6:48

to your higher power, what is the

6:50

next step for me? Don't worry about

6:52

where this is going to lead you

6:55

in the long run. Focus on the

6:57

next step and you're more likely to

6:59

have even more of these mystical experiences.

7:01

I don't think I can add a

7:04

thing to that. I think you've said

7:06

it well. Well, thank you. Okay, our

7:08

next one says, my spirit raised up

7:10

out of my body about two meters

7:13

when I was unwell once in my

7:15

teenage years. I then rotated and saw

7:17

my body lying in bed. Then in

7:20

shock after seeing my body, I woke

7:22

up back inside my body and saw

7:24

a white mist where my spirit was.

7:27

Do you happen to know if my

7:29

human ego mind may have seen my

7:31

spirit? Well, you know, sometimes when we're

7:34

sick. Physically ill. Our mind and our

7:36

imagination and all that does are odd

7:38

things. I know on the very rare

7:40

occasions in my life when I have

7:43

been really ill, I've had just bizarre

7:45

dreams and that's a whole other conversation.

7:47

But I also think that we sometimes,

7:50

basically astral project, we leave our physical

7:52

body at some point, sometime. our lives.

7:54

And when we, and if we do

7:57

so without consciously intending to do so,

7:59

it's kind of shocking to look down

8:01

and see yourself and go, oh wait,

8:03

I need to get back in here,

8:06

which is probably what your conscious mind

8:08

did and got you back inside. And

8:10

the myths may have just been that

8:13

oric field working its way back into

8:15

your body would be my thought. Yeah,

8:17

I agree. I think it's just a

8:20

great example of how we do and

8:22

we do and we can. leave our

8:24

body. You know, I do believe we

8:26

leave our body almost every night as

8:29

a soul level and we travel, but

8:31

I think we can do this as

8:33

well consciously. My mom had this exact

8:36

experience when she was about 12. She

8:38

was climbing a tree and fell out

8:40

and dislocated her shoulder and when she

8:43

was laying in her bed waiting I

8:45

guess for the doctor or her mom

8:47

to take her to the doctor she

8:50

was in so much pain she couldn't

8:52

move and she was just laying there

8:54

staring at the ceiling and she said

8:56

the next minute she was on the

8:59

ceiling staring at her body and she

9:01

was so scared that she slammed back

9:03

into her body and she said it

9:06

like took the breath out of her

9:08

for a minute. Wow. Yeah, so I

9:10

definitely think these experiences happen. And it's

9:13

a sign not only that we can

9:15

all do this, but I think people

9:17

who have these experiences in their early

9:19

life, I think it's a sign of

9:22

natural, stronger intuitive abilities than the average

9:24

person, don't you? Oh, I do. I

9:26

think just being aware of our spiritual

9:29

connection and our metaphysical connections lend us

9:31

more frequently to have these sorts of

9:33

experiences. Yeah. I agree. Okay. All right.

9:36

Our next one says, I took your

9:38

class on Zoom well over a year

9:40

ago, and during that time, I had

9:42

some very clear evidential messages during our

9:45

partner times. I felt I was progressing

9:47

and that I knew my purpose. I've

9:49

really been struggling since. Right after my

9:52

class, I went to a medium. and

9:54

while both my husband and I were

9:56

there together, she didn't have any real

9:59

evidence for either of us. I believe

10:01

she judged my husband by his looks

10:03

and was so far off that my

10:06

husband took nothing away. She said some

10:08

very nice things to me about how

10:10

I had a host of angels with

10:12

me and that I would be a

10:15

great medium someday, but again, nothing evidential.

10:17

I then saw a good friend of

10:19

mine go in desperately needing to hear

10:22

from her recently deceased mother and when

10:24

she came out, she was heartbroken because

10:26

the medium had nothing that was comforting

10:29

or evidential for her or evidential for

10:31

her for her for her for her.

10:33

My faith in myself and fear of

10:35

causing that kind of pain to someone

10:38

already in so much pain has put

10:40

a now over a year hold on

10:42

my progress as a medium and has

10:45

put doubt in my ability to continue

10:47

on this path. I know that you

10:49

and many other mediums have said you

10:52

don't always get it right, but the

10:54

fear of causing even more pain to

10:56

someone has me stuck. While listening to

10:58

Deb's episode today, I had a thought.

11:01

You said that sometimes while meditating, you

11:03

will hear the voice inside say, you

11:05

forgot something on your grocery list or

11:08

you need to do something. I hear

11:10

those too, of course, but sometimes I

11:12

hear other voices, conversations that I have

11:15

no idea where they are coming from.

11:17

They are not conversations I have had

11:19

and sometimes are so far removed from

11:22

what I know that I have no

11:24

idea of them. Sometimes I find myself

11:26

getting into those conversations and then I

11:28

think, what are you saying? Bring yourself

11:31

back to the breath and let them

11:33

go. I have sometimes wondered if they

11:35

could be glimpsed past lives, but I

11:38

now wonder, could these be spirit coming

11:40

through? I've been asking my guide and

11:42

I've heard his name very clearly, Azriel,

11:45

and I know he's with me whenever

11:47

I call on him. I have asked

11:49

him to help me with this for

11:51

some time now, and it seems that

11:54

there are times that the voices are

11:56

more and more and more clear. I

11:58

understand where your coming from 100% and

12:01

I find it interesting, do you remember

12:03

Deb when I was first opening up

12:05

to all of this and I met

12:08

you and I decided to go to

12:10

a lot of mediums and get readings

12:12

so I could see what it was

12:14

like to be on the other side

12:17

of that table. And remember how I

12:19

had a lot of not so great

12:21

readings from those people? I sure do.

12:24

And that one lady... The one really

12:26

bad reading I had is what actually

12:28

triggered this work, because I remember she

12:31

was traveling around and had come to

12:33

our little metaphysical store. And I really

12:35

wanted to see her because she had

12:38

been a traditional classroom teacher too, and

12:40

I thought, oh, we have a lot

12:42

in common. So I went to her

12:44

for reading, and it was just as

12:47

this woman has described, like very, very

12:49

vague, nothing evidential. And when I, I

12:51

had been in my classes for about

12:54

a year, and I'd been getting some

12:56

really good evidence for my classmates, just

12:58

like this student listener was saying. And

13:01

so as I stood up from the

13:03

not so good reading, I said, you

13:05

know, I feel like I have some

13:07

intuitive ability that I've been acting on.

13:10

Did you pick up anything on that?

13:12

And she said, no, honey, not a

13:14

thing. Stick to the classroom teaching. Yeah,

13:17

yeah, yeah, yeah. And I was like,

13:19

oh, okay. And I went out and

13:21

I, the odor of the metaphysical store

13:24

was like, Samantha, you look really sad,

13:26

what happened. And I told her what

13:28

she said and she was like, I've

13:30

seen you in those classes, you're really

13:33

good, read me, read me right now.

13:35

And that's how I started on this

13:37

journey. So sometimes I think Spirit will

13:40

show you what not to do. as

13:42

a really prominent reminder of how important

13:44

it is to be ethical and to

13:47

do the work. So the quote unquote

13:49

medium that you and your husband read,

13:51

she might have abilities, but she might

13:54

not have put the work in. She

13:56

might not have studied the ethics as

13:58

closely as she may may should have.

14:00

On my other podcast, Enlightened Empaths, we

14:03

had a teacher on from the

14:05

famous Mediumship College in England.

14:07

The name is leaving me.

14:10

Arthur Finley. And she was saying

14:12

that one of her biggest pet

14:14

peeves is students who take a

14:16

class and then start doing this

14:18

work. And she was like, you

14:20

know, it took me like a

14:22

decade to hone my abilities. A

14:24

decade. And I think that's so

14:27

important to remember. This isn't a

14:29

quick fix. So anyway, I just

14:31

think the fact that, you know,

14:33

you have this fear of causing

14:35

pain and not producing a good

14:37

reading to someone in grief is

14:39

what is actually going to keep

14:41

you humble and grounded

14:43

and ethical and make you an

14:46

even better medium when you're ready.

14:48

I would absolutely agree.

14:50

You know, everybody who has taken a

14:52

to row class with me has heard

14:54

me say, after a three and a

14:57

half hour introductory to a course, you

14:59

are not ready to go hang

15:01

out at Shingle. There's some

15:03

real ethical issues with that.

15:05

And that is exactly as

15:07

what you're saying here, is

15:09

that there's work and time

15:12

and commitment and a philosophy

15:14

of practice that needs to go

15:16

into the work that we do. It's

15:18

really important. And I would

15:20

agree that this... that this

15:22

trepidation that this person is

15:24

feeling is really at this

15:26

time her very best friend because

15:29

it's inviting her to take time

15:31

to really think about and feel

15:33

about and talk to her guides

15:35

about what she really feels like

15:37

she's being called to do and

15:39

when. And you know, certainly we

15:41

also say this, you know, nobody

15:44

gets it right 100% of the

15:46

time, but I'm sorry that she

15:48

had such an unpleasant experience with

15:50

this person. And I always will

15:53

say this, I can't speak to

15:55

the other voices that she's hearing

15:57

in her meditation, but your guide.

16:00

always speaks in your own

16:02

voice, very calmly, very clearly.

16:04

That's always the truth as

16:06

far as I have ever

16:08

experienced. You know, now that I'm

16:10

thinking about it, Deb,

16:12

it's negative experiences that

16:15

have propelled me and you

16:17

too. Oh, yeah. Because remember when

16:19

we would go to those workshops

16:21

and we'd say to each other,

16:23

we didn't learn anything, and we

16:25

could have taught this a lot better.

16:27

And that's how we started teaching

16:29

together. Well, it really was, wasn't

16:31

it? You know, I know. Because

16:34

we did have some interesting people

16:36

who came through to that little

16:38

metaphysical store we were both

16:40

involved in for a while. And

16:42

some of them not so much, you

16:45

know. Some of them were super nice

16:47

and well-intentioned, but boring and dry. Well

16:49

there was that and there was also when

16:51

you were talking about this woman that you

16:53

were saying I saw I went to see

16:55

a woman who was at the store some

16:57

years ago and this was back in the

16:59

days when I was wearing that little clear

17:01

quartz points around my neck and she said

17:03

you need to take off that necklace

17:05

before I can read for you. And I go

17:07

whoa lady I'm not taking this rock off

17:09

from around my neck. That's weird. I will

17:12

never I can still see the room in the table

17:14

that we were sitting and I said I'm

17:16

not taking this off. I'm not taking

17:18

this off. Maybe this is just Spirit's

17:20

way of telling her keep at it

17:22

and keep doing it for the right

17:25

reasons and remember to always

17:27

keep the ethics. And if

17:29

you step aside, if you get

17:31

out of the way and just

17:33

let Spirit come through, you're not

17:35

going to cause pain. That's true.

17:38

And if you're not making

17:40

a connection with someone,

17:42

end the reading. Tell them. That's

17:44

it seems like that medium to the

17:46

woman who lost her mother just kept

17:48

pushing through Without making any viable link,

17:51

right? That's not good. All right. Let's

17:53

move on. Okay. I just want to

17:55

thank you both for the love and

17:57

wisdom You've always shared with your listeners.

17:59

Thank Thank you. I found your

18:01

podcast in 2021 and ever since I've

18:03

been a loyal listener, always looking forward

18:06

to new episodes and going back to

18:08

the older episodes to catch up on

18:10

everything I've missed. I enjoy listening to

18:13

your podcast when I'm doing the dishes

18:15

and driving. Unknowingly you have been there

18:17

in the happiest and most difficult times

18:19

of my life. You have been with

18:22

me during pregnancy, sleepless nights with a

18:24

newborn. overwhelming days with a toddler and

18:26

during my recovery after having open heart

18:29

surgery for the second time in this

18:31

lifetime. Oh, when my life seems chaotic

18:33

or everything seems to be going in

18:36

the right direction, your podcast has always

18:38

been there to shed some light. Thank

18:40

you ladies. Okay, Samantha, so now I'm

18:42

going to cry, okay. You know, it's

18:45

emails like these that make us realize

18:47

how grateful we are for you. how

18:49

deeply connected we all are and how

18:52

much responsibility we feel in the work

18:54

that we do and how much joy

18:56

we feel when we know that in

18:58

some way we are doing something that

19:01

is helpful to folks. And I can't

19:03

tell you thank you enough for this

19:05

email. Me too. You know, I have

19:08

certain, I call them touchstones, but I

19:10

guess you could call them anchors in

19:12

my life that get me through those

19:15

difficult times and they're actually, they're... fairly

19:17

trivial touch points. Do you know what

19:19

I mean? It might be a certain

19:21

book I like rereading or a TV

19:24

show I like to rewatch. But there's

19:26

also there's also this one podcast that's

19:28

super fun and funny and has just

19:31

always brought me comfort. I listened to

19:33

it with my girls as the hurricane

19:35

went over our house, you know, those

19:37

types of memories. And I'm so grateful

19:40

for those things. And I read this

19:42

email and I thought, oh my gosh,

19:44

our Are Deb and I like a

19:47

touch tone for someone? It was just

19:49

such an honor. Absolutely. We're very grateful.

19:51

Thank you for that. Okay, let's take

19:54

a very quick break and we'll dive

19:56

back into these questions. Stay with us.

19:58

Hello, it is Ryan, and we could

20:00

all use an extra bright spot in

20:03

our day, couldn't we? Just to make

20:05

up for things like sitting in traffic,

20:07

doing the dishes, counting your steps, you

20:10

know, all the mundane stuff. That is

20:12

why I'm such a big fan of

20:14

Chumba Casino. Chumba Casino has all your

20:16

favorite social casino style games that you

20:19

can play for free anytime anywhere with

20:21

20:23

Loa. Actually. That's Chumba casino.com. No purchase

20:26

20:30

this is Deb and I just want

20:33

to remind you very quickly to subscribe

20:35

to my newsletter. You can see the

20:37

subscribe button on my website debboin.com. One

20:39

of the reasons that I would really

20:42

urge you to do that now is

20:44

because I've had a lot of people

20:46

ask me about my sacred geometry course.

20:49

and that's coming and the best way

20:51

to find out about when it's coming

20:53

sometime in May is to subscribe to

20:55

my newsletter so you can register early

20:58

for it. So get my newsletter, register

21:00

for the course when it pops up

21:02

on my website after that, and then

21:05

join me in May for a course

21:07

that really dives deeply into... the mystery

21:09

and the magic and the science and

21:12

the spirit of all the shapes that

21:14

we are so surrounded with every day

21:16

and what they mean to us and

21:18

why they matter. So again, my newsletter

21:21

is on my website, the link to

21:23

subscribe, Deb bowen.com. I like listening to

21:25

you talk about sacred geometry because you

21:28

get so excited about it. I do,

21:30

I love it, Samantha. This is a

21:32

girl who nearly failed traditional geometry. But

21:34

you rock at Sacred Geometry. I love

21:37

that stuff. And I should for my

21:39

people that after, I don't know, a

21:41

three-month hiatus. I actually do have a

21:44

newsletter coming out in April as well.

21:46

I've been busy moving and selling my

21:48

old house and moving into my new

21:51

house. So in this one I write

21:53

about how change is always hard. even

21:55

when it's positive happy change and how

21:57

we can really get through those those

22:00

changing times with the help of spirit.

22:02

So I hope you'll sign up for

22:04

my newsletter as well at smithafate.com. Okay

22:07

should we get back to the show?

22:09

Let's do it I think it's yours.

22:11

Okay our next one says I have

22:13

a story that happened a year or

22:16

so ago and would love your take

22:18

on it. I work on a mind

22:20

site and we stay at night in

22:23

our designated rooms. I have been in

22:25

the same one for a couple of

22:27

years of years now. I was in

22:30

bed, lights off, and lying on my

22:32

left side, when I suddenly felt what

22:34

can only be described as a cat

22:36

walking around my feet, lower leg region.

22:39

I froze and thought, what the... I

22:41

laid very still in bed, just feeling

22:43

the sensation and trying to be brave.

22:46

But once my quilt started to move

22:48

off my knees towards the direction of

22:50

this walking pressure, I was like, nope,

22:52

and flipped on the bedlight half expecting

22:55

to see some feral cat that had

22:57

somehow entered my room. But there was

22:59

nothing. I am not new to the

23:02

spirit world and this really intrigued me.

23:04

I said to the unknown spirit please

23:06

go away as I have to get

23:09

up early for work like 4 a.m.

23:11

About six weeks later it happened again.

23:13

Once more I was in my mining

23:15

accommodation but this time I just laid

23:18

there and thought I would see where

23:20

all this leads to. After a period

23:22

of time I had to go to

23:25

the bathroom and when I came back

23:27

to bed the incident didn't happen again

23:29

that night. It got me thinking who

23:31

could this be? I haven't owned a

23:34

cat for over 20 years, but then

23:36

I thought of our dog Buddy, who

23:38

used to walk around our legs and

23:41

feed to find himself somewhere to sleep

23:43

for the night on our bed. Could

23:45

this be a visit from Buddy? A

23:48

couple of months later, I was staying

23:50

at a relatives' place, and that night

23:52

we were talking about Buddy, and I

23:54

started talking to Buddy as he used

23:57

to love to visit this place. He

23:59

was always checking out the rabbits that

24:01

roamed their farm. I was wishing he

24:04

was there with us, and suddenly the

24:06

walking started again. Must be him, I

24:08

thought. Again, the blatter wanted to go

24:10

to the bathroom, and when I returned

24:13

to bed... The walking returned as well.

24:15

I fell asleep feeling this walking sensation

24:17

on the bed. Only once again since

24:20

this has it happened, but this time

24:22

it was around my stomach chest region

24:24

and the walking was a lot lighter.

24:27

Again this happened in my mining accommodation.

24:29

Then it never happened again and never

24:31

happened in our own bed where he

24:33

used to sleep every night. Buddy left

24:36

us in 2022 after he swore was

24:38

misdiagnosed and was an invasive form of

24:40

cancer. Oh, I'm so sorry. By the

24:43

time the vet had the correct diagnosis,

24:45

it had spread through his body. Buddy

24:47

was a human trapped inside a dog's

24:49

body, so smart, and was always amazing

24:52

with us, his antics, he even used

24:54

to smile at us. Am I correct

24:56

in thinking he came to visit me

24:59

a few times? Yes, I feel that

25:01

you are, and I'll tell you why.

25:03

It's because this happened to you, right?

25:06

And you were wondering, what is this,

25:08

what is this, who is this, who

25:10

is this, who is this, who is

25:12

this, and then, and then, who is

25:15

this, and then, and then, who is

25:17

this, and then, who is this, and

25:19

then, and then, and then, and then,

25:22

and then buddy popped into your head

25:24

into your head, And then when you

25:26

were at a place that he loved

25:28

to be and you were talking about

25:31

Buddy again, you had this phenomenon occur

25:33

once more. I always feel like when

25:35

we're thinking about something or someone in

25:38

spirit and then a thought pops into

25:40

our head, I feel that that's them

25:42

talking to us. Don't you? I feel

25:45

like that was Buddy saying, yes, it

25:47

is me. You know, Samantha, I am

25:49

sitting here recording this episode and looking

25:51

at a portrait of Merlin the Magic

25:54

Cat. And I so resonate with this

25:56

listener's email because Merlin still occasionally will

25:58

come and jump on the bed. Now

26:01

folks, Merlin was a cat and he

26:03

weighed 22 pounds when he died. Karl

26:05

Sandberg's poem about fog coming in on

26:07

little cat's feet did not... right about

26:10

Merlin. Merlin was the thought, right? And

26:12

when he jumped on that bed, I

26:14

knew it. And over the years, he

26:17

has come sometimes to be comforting to

26:19

me. to tell me to pay attention

26:21

to something in my life. I still

26:24

believe I have that deep, deep connection

26:26

with that cat, and he's been gone

26:28

for many years. And there have been

26:30

other cats since then, but none were

26:33

Merlin. So I absolutely believe that you

26:35

and Buddy had this wonderful bond, and

26:37

what a gift that you have it.

26:40

I agree. And it might be that

26:42

it... kept occurring in the mining accommodation

26:44

because it sounds like an enclosed place.

26:46

You're not in your home where you're

26:49

thinking about did I pay the utility

26:51

bills and I take the wash and

26:53

put it in the dryer or did

26:56

I you know like when you're away

26:58

from your home you tend to be

27:00

I don't know more more open to

27:03

meditation and sleep and these types of

27:05

experiences. I wonder if that helped foster

27:07

this first connection for Buddy. I would

27:09

think that would be very probable, you

27:12

know. Yeah, absolutely. I would suggest that

27:14

you say thank you to him, just

27:16

literally sitting wherever you are, and just

27:19

say, buddy, I really appreciate you coming,

27:21

and it's wonderful to know that we're

27:23

still connected, just so that you acknowledge

27:25

to him that you know it's him.

27:28

And we got a beautiful picture of

27:30

Buddy, and he does look like a

27:32

human in the dog's body, very smart.

27:35

Oh, I know. So cute. Okay, our

27:37

next one says I am currently re-listening

27:39

to the help I think I'm haunted

27:42

episode from October 2016. The current discussion

27:44

is about assisting ghosts to move on

27:46

and how every now and again there

27:48

are those ghosts who choose not to

27:51

move on for whatever reason. Anyway, it

27:53

had me wondering, have either of you

27:55

ever had a spirit that you helped

27:58

move on, come back to thank you?

28:00

For instance, in this episode, you mentioned

28:02

a ghost. who haunted Samantha's former office

28:04

and did not want to move on

28:07

because she missed her family and didn't

28:09

understand that if she moved on she

28:11

would be reunited with her family. Deb

28:14

mentions that she truly believes that this

28:16

particular ghost did move on and I

28:18

do believe that. We have some evidence

28:20

of it actually and that just got

28:23

me. wondering can they or do they

28:25

make contact to say thank you? I've

28:27

never had a ghost come back and

28:30

say thank you to me. Yes you

28:32

have. Oh. Do you not remember when

28:34

I went to visit a friend several

28:37

states away with my daughters and they

28:39

had that ghosty experience and I saw

28:41

the ghost in the house and the

28:43

ghost followed one of my daughter's home?

28:46

And so you and I met, remember,

28:48

and we did that meditation to move

28:50

her on, and we recorded it. And

28:53

I remember we're sitting at your little

28:55

kitchen table and we're holding hands, we've

28:57

got the candle, we've got our crystals,

28:59

we're doing the whole thing, and we

29:02

really weren't sure. And then we hit

29:04

stop on the tape, and when we

29:06

played it back at the very end,

29:09

it says, thank you. Very, very lightly.

29:11

We sent her. Yeah, you're right. We

29:13

did have that. So yes, it's a

29:16

short answer to your question. But you

29:18

know, I think that generally speaking, when

29:20

folks are earthbound, for whatever reason that

29:22

they are earthbound, in the case of

29:25

the story that you're mentioning here, this

29:27

was a woman who really truly did

29:29

not understand that she was trapped in

29:32

her family home and the rest of

29:34

her family had died and gone on.

29:36

She really didn't quite get what was

29:38

happening in the earth world around her.

29:41

And so when we explained that to

29:43

her, she got very upset. At this

29:45

point, K-2 meters went off electronic equipment

29:48

that was in a boat bag, but

29:50

on the other side of the room

29:52

that was not even turned on, started

29:55

beeping. I mean, lights flashed, tape recorders

29:57

went off, lots of stuff happened as

29:59

this woman was trying to process what

30:01

we were explaining explaining explaining to her

30:04

explaining to her. but once she understood

30:06

that if she would just let go

30:08

and release and follow the light and

30:11

to the other side that she would

30:13

see her loved ones. And we truly

30:15

believe that's what happened because you could

30:17

feel the energy in the room. change

30:20

when that happened. And not only could

30:22

we feel it, but all the equipment

30:24

started to behave again as it should.

30:27

That was such an amazing experience. And

30:29

the fact that you brought objects that

30:31

were connected to the town as she

30:34

would have known it, and then remember

30:36

you told her like that that place

30:38

is closed and this place has moved,

30:40

and then when you mentioned the year,

30:43

that's when all the machine went wonky.

30:45

Absolutely, exactly. It was very true. And

30:47

so she left and she went to

30:50

the other side and I imagine that

30:52

she didn't give us a thought once

30:54

she was across the veil and reconnected

30:56

with people she loved. So I wasn't

30:59

expecting her to come back and say

31:01

thank you. The woman you're talking about

31:03

was a different situation, Samantha, I think.

31:06

Yeah, I do too. All right, let's

31:08

move on to our next one. It

31:10

says a year or two ago, I

31:13

had to travel for my work. I

31:15

flew in late in the evening. My

31:17

hotel room felt a little off energy-wise.

31:19

So I decided after having taken it

31:22

off for the shower to put my

31:24

necklace with my little turquoise pendant back

31:26

on. I felt it would protect me

31:29

from whatever it was that made me

31:31

feel uncomfortable. After reading a bit in

31:33

bed, I felt better and decided to

31:35

ask to reconnect in my dream with

31:38

someone I was missing. but I decided

31:40

to part ways with because of a

31:42

complicated situation. I felt I needed closure

31:45

and asked if they did so, too,

31:47

they were welcome to join me on

31:49

the bridge where we back of the

31:52

day had stood and took pictures. This

31:54

was a happy place and a happy

31:56

memory for me and it felt like

31:58

neutral territory for us to reconnect in

32:01

the dream state. I turned off the

32:03

light and as I was trying to

32:05

fall asleep, I felt that uneasy sensation

32:08

again. All night as I was sleeping

32:10

I saw my mind's eye a being

32:12

with flames in its eyes crouched next

32:14

to my bed looking at me Not

32:17

reaching out or doing anything, but just

32:19

staring I I tried all the psychic

32:21

protection tools I knew, telling it firmly

32:24

to go away, placing myself in a

32:26

sphere of love and light where it

32:28

would not be able to reach me.

32:31

However uneasy, I got through the night

32:33

and got out of bed and started

32:35

my day. When I was at the

32:37

office, I realized I didn't have my

32:40

necklace on. But I was sure I

32:42

had put it back on after taking

32:44

a shower. I checked all my clothes,

32:47

my luggage, everything I had worn. It

32:49

was simply gone. I also phoned and

32:51

emailed the hotel. Unfortunately, they hadn't found

32:53

it either. I have the feeling that

32:56

my little turquoise pendant did protect me.

32:58

Maybe I had to leave it behind

33:00

and return for it to do so.

33:03

Do you feel the being that was

33:05

watching me had to do anything with

33:07

my invitation to see the person I

33:10

was missing? Was it a way to

33:12

keep me from trying to reach out

33:14

to them? Or was it just that

33:16

weird room? Or something else? I'm curious

33:19

to hear your thoughts about this. Okay,

33:21

so turquoise is a stone of protection.

33:23

It's been highly regarded as an amulet

33:26

for protection for centuries. It's also known

33:28

to help ease anxiety and worries. It

33:30

helps people who experience panic attacks. It

33:32

was believed to be a gift from

33:35

the deities to help protect and guide

33:37

us. Legend said that it's so protective,

33:39

it will even change color to warn

33:42

us of impending danger. So I do

33:44

think that the pendant protected you. I

33:46

don't know what that thing is you

33:49

saw in your mind's eye. It could

33:51

be what the turquoise energy was protecting

33:53

you from or it could be an

33:55

image of what the protective energy of

33:58

the turquoise looks like. I don't think

34:00

you would have to like sacrifice it

34:02

though, you know, like leave it there

34:05

as a almost like a payment for

34:07

that protection. So I'm not sure why

34:09

the stone went missing. What do you

34:11

think? You know, you lost me at

34:14

the thing in its eyes. I tried

34:16

real hard not to tune out and

34:18

go, oh, rainbows and unicorns, rainbows and

34:21

unicorns. But the bottom line is, absolutely,

34:23

I cannot imagine my life without some

34:25

turquoise to help me in terms of

34:28

protection and stuff. Sitting here, looking at

34:30

a piece right now. My computer even

34:32

has a piece of turquoise. Where do

34:34

you think it went? Into the ethers.

34:37

And I don't mean to be a

34:39

smart act. No, I know. I know.

34:41

Maybe it was done doing it to

34:44

work protecting her. Right. Exactly. Or maybe,

34:46

you know, unbeknownst to her, and then

34:48

this is the logical earthbound answer as

34:50

she was changing clothes. It got rumbled

34:53

up in whatever she was taking on

34:55

her off and in the bed cushions

34:57

and whatnot. And somebody else found it

35:00

and they needed it and they took

35:02

it. I mean, you just don't know.

35:04

But whatever it is, it did what

35:07

it did for you at the time.

35:09

say thank you and know that that's

35:11

kind of what rocks do. They do

35:13

their job and then they move to

35:16

other people when that's perhaps needed. Yeah

35:18

and maybe it's also a sign that

35:20

it's not time to reconnect with this

35:23

person even in a dream state. If

35:25

it was complicated then it might still

35:27

be complicated now. Probably. Yeah. Okay, this

35:29

next one is interesting. She says Monday

35:32

morning I lost my grandmother. Monday evening

35:34

I was out walking my dog in

35:36

a wooded area when I noticed something

35:39

laying right where I was standing. It's

35:41

a magnet that says proud, proud, grandparent

35:43

in the word Wesley. I'm not sure

35:46

what that means, but I took it

35:48

as a sign that my grandmother was

35:50

saying she is okay and at peace.

35:52

Thank you for your show and all

35:55

the light you bring to this crazy

35:57

world. The word is W-E-L-L-E-E-S-E-Y. It's the

35:59

name of a university. Wesley University. So

36:02

that's probably what this is. It's a,

36:04

you know how you have proud parents

36:06

of various and sundry university mover stickers.

36:08

That's probably what this means. But besides

36:11

that, what a gift that was, and

36:13

this is the real important part here,

36:15

is that. This was your grandmother finding

36:18

a very clear way to tell you

36:20

that she was there still with you

36:22

and that she loves you. I think

36:25

this was a lovely gift from your

36:27

grandmother. And so quick after she passed,

36:29

that's amazing. It really is. She would

36:31

just find it in the woods. It's

36:34

like, what better way to say, I'm

36:36

so proud of you and I'm okay

36:38

on the other side. Right. I love

36:41

that. Me too. All right, our next

36:43

one says, why is my third eye

36:45

popping from time to time? It's hard

36:47

to describe, but it almost feels like

36:50

a soap balloon popping or someone tapping

36:52

my forehead. This used to happen to

36:54

me often a long time ago, but

36:57

it started happening to me again lately,

36:59

and it's not only happening during meditation,

37:01

but randomly during the day. It will

37:04

usually do it many times for a

37:06

few minutes. So we've talked about this

37:08

before on the show. I think we

37:10

have a couple of episodes on like

37:13

how to open up your third eye

37:15

and we've talked about it on those

37:17

as well. This is actually pretty common.

37:20

Mine doesn't feel like a popping. I

37:22

have felt that tapping sensation, but it's

37:24

almost like a pressure I'll feel in

37:26

my third eye. And I know you

37:29

have felt that too, Deb. I feel

37:31

strongly that it's a sign that your

37:33

third eye is opening. And I think

37:36

that our eye has to open in

37:38

several different progressive steps. I mean, we've

37:40

read, for example, Kundalini, the Kundalini energy

37:43

stays stored in our root chakra and

37:45

it's always pictured coiled up like a

37:47

snake and every time you meditate and

37:49

pray or connect with your spirit within

37:52

in any way, that Kundalini energy rises

37:54

up and the goal is to slowly

37:56

over the course of a lifetime. Get

37:59

it to rise up through all of

38:01

your chakras into and out of your

38:03

crown chakra and people who have experienced

38:05

that Kundalini rising too quickly, it's not

38:08

good. I mean it's almost like they

38:10

feel as though they're going insane. It's

38:12

a very very difficult thing. So you

38:15

want to experience this opening sensation. slowly

38:17

and over time. So that's why you

38:19

felt it in the past and now

38:22

you're feeling it again because as you

38:24

continue to grow and learn and evolve

38:26

and connect to your spirituality it's going

38:28

to work on opening in those different

38:31

levels and rates to accommodate your vibratory

38:33

energy. When it happens to me now

38:35

I also take it as a reminder

38:38

that I need to kind of pause

38:40

and do something. that connects me to

38:42

my spirituality, whether it's just, you know,

38:44

putting my hand over my heart and

38:47

taking a minute to take a couple

38:49

of deep breaths, or I might take

38:51

a minute to hold a crystal, meditate,

38:54

journal, or just ask, what do I

38:56

need to know now? What do you

38:58

do when you feel that? I try,

39:00

well, hard to, as quickly as I

39:03

can, take a deep breath and just

39:05

be quiet and see if there are

39:07

words that are coming. as a result

39:10

of that, because that's often what happens

39:12

to me, because I'm so auditorily connected

39:14

that I'm clear audience so strongly that

39:17

when that happens on my third eye,

39:19

I go, okay, there's a message coming

39:21

through here, and I will hear sometimes

39:23

not even complete sentences, but just phrases

39:26

or words that then I will write

39:28

down and meditate on and put together

39:30

to make some sense out of. Yeah,

39:33

I think it's always a good positive

39:35

sign. Oh, absolutely. Let's take our last

39:37

break of the show and we'll be

39:39

right back with you. Hello, it is

39:42

Ryan, and I was on a flight

39:44

the other day playing one of my

39:46

favorite social spin slot games on Chumba

39:49

casino.com. I looked over the person sitting

39:51

next to me, and you know what

39:53

they were doing? They were also playing

39:56

Chumba Casino. Coincidence? I think not. Everybody's

39:58

loving, having fun with it. Chumba Casino,

40:00

with it. Chumba Casino's? I think not.

40:02

Everybody's loving, having fun with it. Welcome

40:05

back. Deb, do you want to share

40:07

our next question? I'm happy to do

40:09

so. I wanted to share with you

40:12

something that happened to me in late

40:14

September. To set the theme, it was

40:16

midnight. I was up way later than

40:18

normal finishing a quest in my video

40:21

game before I went to bed. I

40:23

had my sound eliminating headphones on, which

40:25

do a great job at blocking out

40:28

any noise coming from my apartment. As

40:30

I'm coming to the end of the

40:32

quest, I hear a loud noise coming

40:35

from somewhere behind me in my apartment.

40:37

This is the first and last time

40:39

I have ever heard a noise loud

40:41

enough to scare me to jump from

40:44

my game. I turn around and see

40:46

my entrance table completely moved, and all

40:48

the items I placed on top of

40:51

it were on the ground behind it.

40:53

almost as if the table got yanked

40:55

from the front. Again, I do have

40:57

a cat, but I don't see how

41:00

it is possible for my cat to

41:02

be able to move that table by

41:04

himself. As I'm picking up all the

41:07

items that fell down, I hear the

41:09

front door to my apartment complex building

41:11

open, something I would not be able

41:14

to hear if I were still playing

41:16

my video game with headphones on. I

41:18

hear the footsteps come up to the

41:20

first small set of stairs and then

41:23

stop. A few moments later I hear

41:25

a knocking on my door. More knocking?

41:27

More knocking? At this point I'm totally

41:30

freaked out so I hide by the

41:32

side of my bed and out of

41:34

you from the front door and the

41:36

window where others can be seen from

41:39

the street. Once the knocking stops and

41:41

the footsteps retreat back to the front

41:43

door and outside, my phone starts going

41:46

off. A man that I had previously

41:48

rejected somehow thought it was acceptable to

41:50

show up unannounced at midnight at my

41:53

apartment. This has happened before, though during

41:55

the day, and I have caught him

41:57

looking through my window. I know in

41:59

my whole heart that if I did

42:02

not hear that loud noise moments before,

42:04

then he would have seen that I

42:06

was home. So what caused the loud

42:09

noise that ultimately saved me that night.

42:11

Was it my cat? A ghost? My

42:13

spirit guy trying to alert me to

42:15

danger? My guardian angel? Was it just

42:18

a coincidence? I hope this story wasn't

42:20

too scary and I want to end

42:22

this by saying he has not come

42:25

back. Well, let's see, there's so much

42:27

to unpack here. Let me answer the

42:29

metaphysical questions first and then get to

42:32

the other stuff I want to talk

42:34

about. I don't know who came to

42:36

help you and who came to your

42:38

rescue, whether it was a spirit guide

42:41

or an angel or a guardian of

42:43

some sort. What's important here is that

42:45

they showed up and you should never

42:48

take that lightly. That when something from

42:50

the spirit world comes to protect you

42:52

as strongly as you got that protection,

42:54

remember to say thank you. And remember

42:57

to say you're always invited and always

42:59

welcome to be here and how much

43:01

you appreciate that help. I don't know

43:04

who it was or what it was,

43:06

but I don't necessarily believe it was

43:08

a coincidence. If it was your cat,

43:11

certainly say thank you to your cat,

43:13

you know, because they do that sometimes.

43:15

In addition to that, I really think

43:17

that just a common sense kind of

43:20

thing, which I'm sure you've thought of,

43:22

of course, is to think about how

43:24

you are protected in your home with

43:27

locks and... ways to connect with people

43:29

and even getting from your car and

43:31

into your house. Just what does it

43:33

take to make sure that you feel

43:36

physically safe in addition to this? Certainly

43:38

some crystals around your house to offer

43:40

some additional protection and maybe some smudging

43:43

incense or something would not hurt either.

43:45

Yeah, I agree. I definitely think it

43:47

was her angels in her guides warning

43:50

and alerting her because I have noise

43:52

canceling headphones You can't hear anything when

43:54

those things are on so the fact

43:56

that they were able to Make that

43:59

loud noise that got her to get

44:01

up away from the window where he

44:03

could see that she was indeed home

44:06

I that's not a coincidence, and I

44:08

think that was definitely her her her

44:10

spiritual team of health Okay, our next

44:12

one says, hi ladies, first and foremost,

44:15

thank you for all you share with

44:17

the world. Your insights whipple far and

44:19

wide. Well, thank you. Here's my question.

44:22

What happens when you ask the universe

44:24

and guides for a sign for something?

44:26

They give you those signs, but the

44:29

something doesn't come to fruition. It feels

44:31

like a weird cruel world where we

44:33

could ask for a very specific sign,

44:35

receive it, and then nothing happens. It's

44:38

not like I asked for this sign

44:40

15 minutes ago and I'm being impatient

44:42

that things didn't happen 20 minutes later.

44:45

I asked for a sign of an

44:47

owl that I should keep holding on

44:49

to my marriage imperil. If I should

44:51

keep hanging in there, and those owls

44:54

have absolutely showed up in the craziest

44:56

of places in ways, but the divorce

44:58

is still going forward. and I don't

45:01

know how to make sense of this.

45:03

It makes me feel like I'm crazy

45:05

or I'm missing something. I've done my

45:08

best to hand it over and surrender

45:10

to the process and just ride it

45:12

out. What would be your take on

45:14

this? This owl thing has been happening

45:17

for about four to five months. Well,

45:19

first of all, I am so sorry

45:21

because that is just a terrible feeling

45:24

when you are asking for a sign,

45:26

you're asking for help, and it... and

45:28

then you feel like it's leading you

45:30

in the wrong direction. But there are

45:33

two things I want to say. One,

45:35

whenever we're asking for a sign that

45:37

involves someone else in addition to us,

45:40

we have to keep in mind that

45:42

you have free will and your partner

45:44

has free will. So even though your

45:47

guides are giving you a yes that

45:49

you need to work on this marriage,

45:51

and the divorce is still going forward,

45:53

I still think the sign is saying

45:56

you need to work on this marriage,

45:58

meaning you need to work on how

46:00

the two of you are going to

46:03

proceed now, but also after the divorce.

46:05

And, you know, a divorce is a

46:07

legal thing. It happens in the courts.

46:09

But the divorce of your heart, that

46:12

can take a lot longer to heal

46:14

and process. So I feel as... So

46:16

you were getting the sign from the

46:19

owls and maybe you were interpreting it

46:21

as, oh, okay, it means I'm going

46:23

to work on this marriage and everything's

46:26

going to be okay. I think what

46:28

they were trying to say is you

46:30

need to keep working on this marriage

46:32

and all the lessons good and bad

46:35

that it has taught you and know

46:37

that your partner still has the free

46:39

will to continue proceeding with the divorce.

46:42

I don't think it means that your

46:44

guides are not with you. I think

46:46

that it's those two things I mentioned.

46:48

Your partner has free will to change

46:51

and alter the scenario and you have

46:53

free will and those two things are

46:55

clashing. But I still think the owls

46:58

are showing up to let you know

47:00

that there's more work to be done

47:02

here. There's some inner healing and some

47:05

grief that needs to be processed. I

47:07

absolutely, I agree. In fact, as you're

47:09

talking, I'm thinking about a friend of

47:11

mine who had a... very tumultuous divorce

47:14

from her husband and they have two

47:16

children together and custody stuff is still

47:18

ongoing and child support and all that

47:21

stuff that goes with divorce and and

47:23

they they've managed to be civil to

47:25

each other. She had an accident this

47:27

past weekend and totaled her car. She

47:30

had the children with her, they're all

47:32

fine, but the closest person for her

47:34

to call in terms of proximity, physical

47:37

proximity, was her ex-ex husband. He came,

47:39

he took care of her, he could

47:41

care of the car, he helped, he

47:44

did everything he was supposed to do

47:46

to take care of her and their

47:48

children. And I thought, you know, had

47:50

she not worked throughout this whole process

47:53

to be civil and kind and clear

47:55

with him about the ending of their

47:57

relationship and what the kind of relationship

48:00

they were going to have going forward,

48:02

that might not have been. worked out

48:04

so well. So you just never know

48:06

what there are always these pieces of

48:09

the puzzle that are hidden. behind a

48:11

veil and what seems very clear and

48:13

straightforward to us may not be exactly

48:16

what the universal energies have in mind.

48:18

That's what's what's happening here. Yeah that's

48:20

true because like I said divorce is

48:23

a legal issue it's a piece of

48:25

paper but the bonds that that connect

48:27

you aren't so easily severed and I

48:29

think that There's no handbook for that.

48:32

There's no handbook for how to deal

48:34

with divorce. There's no rulebook. And everyone's

48:36

experience is completely different, but especially, now

48:39

this listener doesn't say if they share

48:41

children or not, but if you share

48:43

children, you're going to be co-parenting those

48:45

people for the rest of your life.

48:48

And there's graduations and weddings, maybe, and

48:50

all sorts of events that you have

48:52

to come together for. and that needs

48:55

to be continued to work to be

48:57

worked on. That's, it's a lifelong relationship

48:59

when you share children and I, and

49:02

I, I don't know, I feel like

49:04

a lot of people going through divorce

49:06

don't think about that as clearly as

49:08

they, as they might. Do you know

49:11

what I mean? When you're in that

49:13

turmoil, you don't always think very clearly.

49:15

No, no, I know, but I just

49:18

think it's, it's important. You know, my

49:20

sister has this little boy in her

49:22

class. who's divorced and both parents are

49:24

remarried and they represent the most amazing

49:27

united front and all of them show

49:29

up for parent teacher conferences and they

49:31

all get along and I just think

49:34

that's such a beautiful thing you know

49:36

and you just don't see that a

49:38

lot. So I just think the guides

49:40

are trying to say you still need

49:43

to work on this it's just in

49:45

a different way. Okay, one last one

49:47

before we close out Samantha. This person

49:50

said that I mentioned on a show

49:52

that I have a crystal outside my

49:54

home to protect against storms. She said

49:57

she believes you did too. Can we

49:59

tell her the names? Okay, here's what

50:01

I said. The stones that I asked

50:03

to work with me for protection about

50:06

storms are smaller stones and they work

50:08

inside the house and it's mahogany obsidian.

50:10

The stones that we asked to help

50:13

us outside the house and offer love

50:15

and protection by our front doors are

50:17

big pieces of rose quartz. I mean

50:19

like size of footballs are bigger but

50:22

the mahogany obsidians are not very big

50:24

pieces at all. They're palm stones basically.

50:26

Mahogany obsidians help with weather issue so

50:29

any kind of storms. I specifically... put

50:31

them out on a table and a

50:33

dish on June 1st and they don't

50:36

move from there until November 30th because

50:38

those are the traditional dates of hurricane

50:40

season on the East Coast. In addition

50:42

to that, mahogany obsidian helps with some

50:45

other work as well. It helps us

50:47

face fears in our shadow side. It

50:49

helps increase willpower to overcome fears and

50:52

doubts and it helps you focus on

50:54

all the good things in your life.

50:56

It helps you to look at things

50:58

that you're holding in from yourself, inner

51:01

secrets and so forth, and to be

51:03

able to face the truth of who

51:05

you are with love and acceptance. It's

51:08

often called the truth seeker stone. It's

51:10

also great for removing negative energy in

51:12

a home. I've never used it in

51:15

that context. Let me rephrase that. I've

51:17

never asked it to work with me

51:19

in that context, but I'm sure you

51:21

could. Yeah, you specifically asked it to

51:24

help protect you from storm weather. Yeah,

51:26

that's what my stones and I do

51:28

together. It's a really pretty stone too.

51:31

It is. Like brown and black marbles

51:33

kind of. And it's not that expensive.

51:35
