Angels feel like something for little kids and Christmas trees. It’s Della Reese performing heartwarming miracles on cheesy Sunday night television or the goofy Clarence from It’s A Wonderful Life. Or even a hearbroken Nicolas Cage staring forelornly at the ocean from City of Angels. They’re something silly, like a figurine in your Grandma’s cabinet or laying on a cloud in Heaven playing a harp. And of course the most famous painting of angels in the world doesn’t help.
Raphael’s cherubim from The Sistine Madonna aren’t even the focus of the painting, they’re just looking up at the Virgin Mary and Baby Jesus, but they’re the part that everyone remembers
That’s the touchy-feely Hollywood version. But the word “angel” just comes from the Greek word for messenger which is all the angels were, translated to from the original Bible stories in Hebrew. And in the Old Testament, they’re terrifying. They are the instruments of God’s will. Which means they do things like annihilate Sodom and Gomorrah when God thinks the city is too wicked or defend the Garden of Eden with a flaming sword. They are the forces of Nature carrying out the vengeance of the Almighty, supernatural soldiers of Heaven.
But that’s just the Christian version. Angels are in almost every religion as spiritual beings who carry divine messages, which are sometimes helpful and sometimes bad news. Even Satanists have angels, but they’re atheists who use the fallen angels from Christian theology as metaphors. In fact, angels aren’t even mentioned as having wings for the most part, that’s just a creation of artists in the Middle Ages.
Corin Grillo was a licensed psychotherapist struggling with depression of her own when she prayed to the angels for something that would transform her life from the pit of sadness that she was living in. Shortly after, she witnessed something in the street that she could only describe as a miracle and she began to start seeing signs of angelic influence wherever she went. That miracle in the street altered her life forever and she began to climb out of her depression and find start finding meaning and purpose in life.
Corin started introducing angel invocation into her psychotherapy sessions and seeing results with patients. Whatever was going on, it was working and it led her to develop an online forum where people can connect with each other and try to share miracles and developments in their own lives. That formed the basis of The Angel Experiment, Corin’s guidebook on a 21-day program to try to invoke the power and healing of the angels in your own life.
Corin says that you don’t have to be religious to experience angelic activity in your own life, you just have to go through with the rituals and meditation. After reading the book and going on my own Angel Experiment, it’s interesting because I feel like it’s like Chaos Magick. You’re invoking entities, you’re setting your intentions, you’re journaling your feelings and thoughts looking for synchronicities that happened and gratitude in the good things in your life.
Much like Chaos Magick, or as Dr. Dean Radin talks about in Real Magic , it doesn’t really matter if you have rock solid faith or not, there’s something in the ritual that makes changes happen in your life. When you perform a ritual and set an intention and you try to invoke a supernatural being to intercede on your behalf, your subconscious goes to work. Whether it’s angels helping you or you’re praying to the Saints to ask God for a favor, or it’s one of the entities in the Lesser Key of Solomon , it’s the same thing. Supernatural or not, these prayers are the basis of faith and Corin Grillo’s Angel Experiment is as good of a place to start as any to get some meditation and positivity going every day.
In this conversation we discuss:
Corin’s story of overcoming her melancholy and keeping fighting the good fight when she was thinking of quitting it all, is heartening whether you believe in angels or not. Her idea of everyday miracles that people can see in their own life is a way of showing gratitude for the good things that do happen.
Welcome to See You on the Other Mike, where the world
Speaker:of the mysterious collides with the world of entertainment.
Speaker:A discussion of art, music, movies, spirituality,
Speaker:the weird and self discovery. And
Speaker:now, your hosts, musicians and entertainers
Speaker:who have their own weakness for the weird, Mike and
Speaker:Wendy from the band, Sunspot. Episode 275,
Speaker:The Angel Experiment, the magical adventures
Speaker:of Corinne Grillo, and we're here with the
Speaker:author of the Angel Experiment. Corinne, coming to us
Speaker:from California. How are you doing today? I'm probably a little warmer than
Speaker:you are. I'm great. Thanks for having me. Good. No. We're excited to talk about
Speaker:the angel experiment. And so I've been reading through the book all this week.
Speaker:It's an interesting book. You really present it, in a way
Speaker:that you don't necessarily have to be because myself,
Speaker:I'm not the world's biggest angel guy. No. Let's just
Speaker:I'll get I'll get that out there right now. Just laying it right out. That's
Speaker:great. That's great. You're not the biggest angel guy. I totally
Speaker:relate. I was not the biggest angel woman for a while. And so,
Speaker:what inspired you to get behind? And plus, as someone, if you were you were
Speaker:a psychotherapist in your past Yes. And then you
Speaker:come on and you release this book. I kinda like, what was
Speaker:the moment? You know, there there has to be that 1 moment you decide to
Speaker:go full weirdo. And,
Speaker:what, you know, what was the moment that you went over and joined us on
Speaker:this side? Yeah. I mean, it was there was,
Speaker:yes, a big moment actually that happened. At the time, I was,
Speaker:you know, clinically trained a psychotherapist and
Speaker:helping kids, helping rescue gang kids off the street
Speaker:in the streets of Los Angeles. And, you know, even though I had
Speaker:this, like, great career on the outside, on the inside, I suffered a lot with
Speaker:depression for severe depression for decades, just kind of
Speaker:white knuckling through life and drinking a
Speaker:bunch, you know, like a 5th of tequila every couple of days. And, you
Speaker:know, I was I was living the life. Let's put it that way. Sure. And,
Speaker:and, a friend of mine bought an angel reading
Speaker:for me just for fun. Right? It was Mike this light hearted thing. So I
Speaker:think I'm gonna go with, woah. Let's go talk to a psychic. Yay. Right. And
Speaker:I don't know exactly what an angel reading is. So you're gonna you're gonna have
Speaker:to let me in on that. Okay. So an angel reading is like, people who
Speaker:focus on talking to angels for you, and you get, like,
Speaker:angel messages. And and she was also an angel healer, and I
Speaker:had never had 1 of these sessions either. So I think I think I'm just
Speaker:going to run of the mill, you know, psychic and, just, you know, I
Speaker:always kind of had fun and been curious about things like that. But
Speaker:but, now the girl who bought me this angel healing had no idea what I
Speaker:was really going through. Right? Because I used to I used to know how to
Speaker:play play it play it straight, in front of the crowd. Right?
Speaker:People Living the functional lifestyle. I think, a lot of
Speaker:musicians have been there. Yeah. Yeah. For sure. Right? And I'm I got the
Speaker:creative side in me. So, yeah. So but I was living a duplicitous
Speaker:Mike, looking appearing to be high functioning on the outside, but on the
Speaker:inside, really struggling to Mike. I mean, wanting to live. And
Speaker:back then, literally, my only prayer was that that day would be my
Speaker:last. And the thing really that kept me alive was was my
Speaker:daughter. You know? So I was I was too much of a of
Speaker:a wuss to kind of take my own life. But in my
Speaker:early twenties, I, I definitely did a lot of things
Speaker:that might lead me to death. Luckily I didn't die. So, yeah, it was a
Speaker:really rough go for the first several decades of, of my life. So anyways,
Speaker:I go to this woo, psychic. Right? And, I'm
Speaker:sitting with her and she starts giving me all of these all of this she
Speaker:starts dropping down the wisdom about my life. And I didn't tell her a thing
Speaker:about my life and nobody knew about this stuff. And it's all the stuff I,
Speaker:like, I didn't wanna talk about. Right? But all the stuff I needed to talk
Speaker:about and needed to hear. So I was like, okay. There's something legit about this
Speaker:lady. I'm listening. And when she got into the energy healing do you know what
Speaker:an energy healing is, Mike? You know, no.
Speaker:Let's do it. Okay. Well, you know, we we all have energy
Speaker:bodies, and a lot of paranormal experiences happen on the energetic level. You know,
Speaker:things flying across the room, and and, you know, it's a ball of energy. So
Speaker:we are made of we're made of energy. So an angel healing helps
Speaker:correct your energy field. You know, we have this physical body, and then we have
Speaker:an energy body. Most people don't know about the energy body.
Speaker:And because we don't, we end up never giving it never servicing
Speaker:it. So imagine you've been, you know, for 40 years, you have
Speaker:this thing that you've never checked the engine. You've never changed the oil.
Speaker:You've never done all of that. So that can often pollute our system
Speaker:and make us depressed and anxious and carry a lot of, energy and
Speaker:emotions that we don't need. Anyways, that's a side note. That makes me
Speaker:interested, though, as someone who was a psychotherapist
Speaker:at the time. Mhmm. If you'd you'd
Speaker:had these feelings, like, what led you? Is that kind of was depression what
Speaker:led you into psychotherapy in the 1st place? Like, you're like, well, maybe if I
Speaker:can help other people, I can help Mike? Well, it's not like that conscious decision.
Speaker:It's not like, oh, yeah. I need to help myself. Therefore, I'm gonna help other
Speaker:people. It's just that, the I was always
Speaker:kind of predisposed to talking to people and helping them 1 on 1 even when
Speaker:I was younger and suffering. I I remember sitting at
Speaker:school in college and going, oh, my gosh. If I could just get paid to
Speaker:talk to people, this is what I would do. But I never Mike I don't
Speaker:know why I didn't think of therapy at the Mike, but yeah, I just have
Speaker:always loved helping people. And, you
Speaker:know, because of my childhood and a lot of things that happened, you know,
Speaker:anybody could tell me anything. I'm not gonna judge anything that's happening.
Speaker:So, so yeah. But at the time, I didn't really
Speaker:acknowledge the energy body. Right? So this is my first,
Speaker:energy healing session, and I started feeling some
Speaker:pretty intense things flowing through my body, like tingles and things, you
Speaker:know, it's just I I could feel something happening when she was doing the
Speaker:session. And so after the session, I felt so much lighter
Speaker:and brighter, more hopeful. What what happens
Speaker:during an energy healing session? Do you guys, like, hold hands and close your
Speaker:eyes and think well, I'm just you know, in this kind of thing, because a
Speaker:lot of times, when they talk about traditional
Speaker:religious healing, the laying on of hands and things seems I
Speaker:mean, that is exactly what you're talking about, that, you know, they had
Speaker:they would have a thing for it in the church where priests would do that.
Speaker:They would put the hands on the person and, try to
Speaker:focus God's healing through them. And what what did you guys
Speaker:do in an energy healing? And first of all, were you, like,
Speaker:cynical, and then all of a sudden you felt something and, like, wait. I didn't
Speaker:expect that to happen? Yeah. Well, you know, here's the thing.
Speaker:Because because I had you know, I was already kinda going through a rough
Speaker:patch, I was kinda open minded about it. You know? I was like, okay. Well,
Speaker:let's give it a shot. Plus, I already knew about Reiki. You may have heard
Speaker:about Reiki. Yeah. So so I was already open to energy
Speaker:work. I had just not done it on myself, in years. So I was
Speaker:open to it. And at this stage, you know, she spent about a solid 30
Speaker:minutes telling me about my life and stuff she shouldn't know. So there was
Speaker:an opening for me to go, okay. Maybe this stuff is real. I'll just give
Speaker:it a shot. So so, yeah, when I started feeling it, I was like, wow.
Speaker:Okay. I'm feeling something now. And to be honest, this,
Speaker:I I now teach this stuff. Right? I teach this now to people all over
Speaker:the world because that's how much it impacted my life and how much it woke
Speaker:me up to going, oh my god. This stuff is real. Okay. So
Speaker:but this is just Mike the session. It was really what happened after the
Speaker:session. That was the event. And so she I leave the session, and
Speaker:she tells me, okay, Corinne. You
Speaker:when you leave here, I want to know you have angels. Everybody has angels,
Speaker:and you need to talk to your angels as if they're real. You need to
Speaker:ask for their help. And I said, alright. I'll give it a shot because that
Speaker:was, like, super awesome, what just happened back there. And so
Speaker:I started talking to them, and then I started noticing synchronicities.
Speaker:Maybe, like, for example, turning on the radio and it playing an
Speaker:angel song or, just when I'm thinking about angels, a
Speaker:truck would go by with angel wings on it. Or that that you
Speaker:were watching TV and then the Sarah McLaughlin ad with the arms of the angel
Speaker:comes on with the sad animals. Yeah. I feel like that kind of thing. I
Speaker:mean and the thing is it was, like, happening at at
Speaker:at a rapid rate. It wasn't, like, subtle. It was just, like, all day
Speaker:long by me talking to angels. I'm seeing this stuff, happening,
Speaker:and I started feeling like, oh my gosh. I'm not alone. This is great. Okay?
Speaker:So alright. Angels were playing. So that went on for a couple days, and it
Speaker:I had already felt so much better in my body, in my life. It was
Speaker:like I felt Mike this weight had lifted. And so I
Speaker:had started believing in angels, you know, officially starting to believe, like,
Speaker:okay. There's something going on here that's really weird. Now I am a psychotherapist,
Speaker:so I know what sounds crazy. Right? So so, you know, but it's
Speaker:happening. So what am I gonna do? Deny it? But it was really the craziest
Speaker:thing that happened was on day 3 when I was driving down the hood, through
Speaker:the hood in LA going to 1 of my client's house, And, it's
Speaker:Mike broad daylight. No 1 else is on the street, but this bird drops, lands
Speaker:right in front of me and drops from the sky, lands right in front of
Speaker:me. It's about pigeon sized. And as I drove around
Speaker:it, the 1 wing was, trying to push itself
Speaker:up. The the bird was kind of scooting around a little bit, but I could
Speaker:see, like, the other wing was mangled. And so I was,
Speaker:like, kinda you know, it's kind of fairly grotesque feeling.
Speaker:Like, oh my god. This is, like, so sad right now. What's happening? And here
Speaker:I am in this angel bliss, and then bam, like, bird carnage right in front
Speaker:of me. What's this about? And so, but I did the thing. You know, I
Speaker:did what I've been doing the last couple of days, which is talking to angels.
Speaker:So I asked the angels to take this bird, out of its suffering. As
Speaker:I drove around it, I just kinda kept, you know, praying and doing, you
Speaker:know, the thing. And, as I looked in the rearview
Speaker:mirror, I watched the bird start shimming a little bit on the ground.
Speaker:And, as I kept on watching a bird hopped up, a small
Speaker:tiny bird about this size, about an inch or 2 tall,
Speaker:hopped up from that bird, flew away. Then a second bird hopped up
Speaker:from the body of that bird and flew away. And then a third bird that
Speaker:was a little smaller, a little wobblier, jumped up from the body
Speaker:of that bird and flew away. And Well, when I read about
Speaker:this in the book, that's where I was like first of all, I was not
Speaker:expecting that coming. I was like, oh, the bird would just get up. Like, I
Speaker:knew, I think, the bird's gonna get up and fly away. Not that the bird
Speaker:is gonna weirdly reproduce I know. It's weird. Like, and and divide
Speaker:itself. It divided. Yeah. Divided. So was the bird body still
Speaker:was the original bird body still there? No. That's the thing. And, you know, usually,
Speaker:what I would do when I'm driving through the hood as a single woman out
Speaker:there, I'm not gonna get out of the car because it's dangerous. Right?
Speaker:Yeah. Right? But after I saw that, I got out of the dang
Speaker:car and went to go inspect, and there was nobody left
Speaker:on the ground. And I'm telling you, I could feel Mike, what's the words? Mike,
Speaker:goosebumps. I call them angel bumps, but it was Mike the static in the air.
Speaker:And I re and this incredible love, feeling,
Speaker:and I really don't have words to describe the feeling that went along with that.
Speaker:But I knew that I had just witnessed a miracle, at least I thought
Speaker:I did, and it really changed me. Well, I find that
Speaker:interesting too because it seems like, that's Mike
Speaker:classical religious ecstasy you experience, you know,
Speaker:when you're talking about the bliss, the feeling and the the
Speaker:static in the air that there's something, you know,
Speaker:otherworldly happening or at least outside of what we would
Speaker:consider our mainstream physical materialist experience. And
Speaker:I love that, you know, that's happening to you, like, in just out of nowhere.
Speaker:It's and those experiences are, I think, the
Speaker:most interesting because we we think of,
Speaker:religious or ecstatic experiences. You think, well, it's gotta come
Speaker:through like a a monk that meditates for a
Speaker:week, or would come through the guy in the monastery that's
Speaker:beating himself with the, you know, the hair shirt and, like, cataean
Speaker:tails or whatever, like, for his sins. And
Speaker:those that those things have to come through periods of intense
Speaker:physical manifestation, or it happens to, you know, people's,
Speaker:blow it out of their minds having mushroom trips in the Amazon rainforest kinda
Speaker:thing. That's when you expect to have religious ecstasy or after you
Speaker:touch the face of God. But, you know, in several situations,
Speaker:that we've talked about previously in the show too, even historically,
Speaker:people have had, like, just been doing something else, thinking about
Speaker:something else. And then, you know, something happens. There was,
Speaker:Mary Chenoweth was a psychic in the, late 19th
Speaker:century in Wisconsin, and she used to call it the
Speaker:power. And she was a regular it's a school teacher, but then
Speaker:the power would give her ideas. And, eventually, it made her
Speaker:a, millionaire, you know, kinda thing. But
Speaker:she was, like, sweeping the floor, and all of a sudden, she was struck by
Speaker:it. Okay. And that that kinda hap so your experience
Speaker:really reminded me of that of that, these,
Speaker:ecstatic experiences that people have had, throughout history
Speaker:where it's not you didn't you weren't like, oh my god. I touched the I
Speaker:I touched the face of Jesus after I meditated for a week. It was I
Speaker:was driving, and I hit a bird. And so in the in the least
Speaker:expected times, and and so I I thought that was really, an
Speaker:interesting kind of origin that turns you into, Mike, you know
Speaker:what? I'm a skeptic about angels, but I saw 3 birds
Speaker:emerge from 1 bird's dead body. I'm
Speaker:in. I I was definitely in. I
Speaker:was I was listening for sure after that. And,
Speaker:yeah, I mean, what are the odds driving through a ghetto
Speaker:in Los Angeles that it's gonna happen there, and the bird
Speaker:just stops me right in my tracks, essentially. But, but
Speaker:yeah. No. And what's cool is not just the event that
Speaker:happened. It's what transpired afterwards where it was Mike, that
Speaker:was just the first miracle of many miracles that
Speaker:happened in my life. Just me sitting here talking to you today,
Speaker:it's like it's still it's still manifesting from
Speaker:that first moment. You know, when they said we were talking to angels or
Speaker:when you got that first angel healing you know, when we think of angels, there's
Speaker:a couple of of ways that people think about them traditionally. First of all, you
Speaker:have the idea of the angel of the person sitting on the cloud
Speaker:playing the harp and, you know, saying hallelujah all day.
Speaker:Or you have the idea of, John Milton
Speaker:and his army of angels Mhmm. You know, fighting off Satan
Speaker:and that kind of business. So, what what
Speaker:kind of angels are are these that you deal with in the angel experiment?
Speaker:Yeah. I mean, you know, technically, they're archangels.
Speaker:I see them as frequencies. So it's more like working,
Speaker:alchemy. And so angels, they they different angels
Speaker:have different frequencies, different vibrations. I
Speaker:have yet to see 1 show up playing a harp. Mostly,
Speaker:I feel the presence. And so I'm I'm an empath. I can feel the
Speaker:presence of spirit or angels when they're with me, and they feel different,
Speaker:very different than if it's a, just a regular spirit or ghost.
Speaker:And, and so there's a lot of debate as to what angels really are.
Speaker:Some people think they're interdimensional beings, space aliens. Some people
Speaker:think, you know, they're often some, you know, heaven up there. All I know is
Speaker:that they're right here right now for all of us, and they can help us
Speaker:with the most practical things. Right? They can help
Speaker:us open up a career path, a life purpose, help us
Speaker:manifest a a better life, cash, health, all I mean, all of
Speaker:these things. And so this is that that day started my journey and really
Speaker:discovering, how to continue to work with with this these
Speaker:energies practically to help serve my clients. Although it was
Speaker:kind of tricky introducing angel work into my clientele. Oh, yeah. Because it's
Speaker:not covered by insurance. Like, psychotherapy is covered by insurance. But, like, when you
Speaker:start throwing in, being like, okay. Well, today, we're gonna talk to Raziel,
Speaker:and he's the angel. And you're like, what? And then, you know, all of a
Speaker:sudden, the insurance company is, like, denied. I know. How do you how do you
Speaker:sneak that in there? It was so awkward. It was so awkward in the beginning
Speaker:because here I am, you know, it it was, like, confronted with my with
Speaker:my traditional education and then the truth of what was
Speaker:emerging. And here I am sitting with the suffering, someone sitting in front of me.
Speaker:And so, really, what started happening is that they're telling me, oh my gosh. I
Speaker:wanna die and all this stuff. And then I I could no longer, you know,
Speaker:hold it back because I could feel the presence of angels starting to come into
Speaker:the room. And, like, at a certain point, you just gotta go, hey. You wanna
Speaker:try something weird? And that's really how I would start. I would start doing
Speaker:angel healing on them. And and when they're really like, when people
Speaker:are really suffering, just like when I was really suffering, no one's gonna kick anything
Speaker:good out of bed. They'll try anything if they're suffering. So I started
Speaker:introducing that. And then, when people started
Speaker:healing radically, like, started having radical fast mental health cures
Speaker:and all of this stuff, I mean, we had people who were crying for 6
Speaker:months. I remember this woman, she had postpartum, and she just couldn't freaking
Speaker:sleep. And she she couldn't be happy, and she's suffering
Speaker:deeply. And so I did I did 20 minutes of
Speaker:angel work with her. She was open to it because, again, she didn't even have
Speaker:people don't even have to believe in it. Like, I'll believe in it for you.
Speaker:And the spirit believes in it for you. You don't have to believe in it.
Speaker:Just be open to it. So she, she was open to it. And I
Speaker:she had emailed to me a couple days later saying, ever since our session, I've
Speaker:been able to sleep, and I stopped crying. So Well, you
Speaker:know and is is it really that much different than, like,
Speaker:Freudian dream analysis or, you know, things like that? You know, when you you go
Speaker:in there, and you're,
Speaker:saying, okay. Let's take a different tack than what we've been doing.
Speaker:Mhmm. And even if it's, you know, even if you're dealing with another symbolic
Speaker:level, that seems to still have an effect.
Speaker:Yeah. I leave it open for people. People if people didn't feel better thinking that
Speaker:angels are just inner symbols and archetypes, fine. I'll work with
Speaker:that. All I know I'm not here to to to split hairs with people.
Speaker:I'm just here to do the work. So believe whatever you wanna believe, and I'll
Speaker:believe what I believe, but we're gonna we're gonna handle some business. And it's
Speaker:interesting too because when you're talking about
Speaker:angels and we're reading through the different days and the
Speaker:different exercises of the angel experiment, which really to me seems
Speaker:like a, well, like a
Speaker:almost like a grimoire Wendy you think of the idea that you
Speaker:are doing these experiments to,
Speaker:and exercises that try to point your life in the right direction
Speaker:or, you know, point your lane into getting what you want out of your life,
Speaker:which a lot of times is not being sad all the Mike,
Speaker:or feeling, healing from grief
Speaker:and not only depression, but just trauma, maybe. Mhmm.
Speaker:And so all those kind of things. And it's it's interesting because we
Speaker:interviewed doctor Dean Radin about his book Real Magic last year. We were talking
Speaker:about that. And when you get into
Speaker:chaos magic Oh. It certainly
Speaker:has the same kind of thing. I mean, you are they
Speaker:conjure entities Mhmm. You know, is part of it where it's like
Speaker:you ask this particular entity for help and you ask this, you know, and,
Speaker:they have this, They go through, and these entities are all out of this, like,
Speaker:17th century book of different demons and angels. And
Speaker:it's Enoki and it's I think it's an Enoki and magic. Yeah. That's
Speaker:exactly right. And it's exactly it's it's the same kind of idea, that
Speaker:you guys are doing in in the angel experiment. And I just thought that was
Speaker:interesting because it's Mike a different spin on it. Mhmm. So chaos magicians
Speaker:have a they're all they're always trying to do things to, like,
Speaker:some it seems I'm on the chaos magic Reddit board or whatever, and I
Speaker:sort of read what people talk about. And, you know, when people are talking about
Speaker:they're doing things like, well, I'm trying to do magic to get a better job
Speaker:or trying to do magic so I can be better with my girlfriend. All these
Speaker:different kind of things. And that's they're they're using that mode
Speaker:because it works for them. Uh-huh. And so you can see that people who were
Speaker:maybe a little fluffier, would well, the dudes
Speaker:who were dressed up in all black and that kind of thing, they're not gonna
Speaker:be sitting there like, I'm gonna go talk to angels. They're gonna go talk to
Speaker:stuff from a 17th century creature or something. And so this is
Speaker:the kind of thing where people can achieve the same kind
Speaker:of thing, I think, but who may not be
Speaker:or who may be scared because they might think those, like, magic stuff is satanic
Speaker:or whatever. Right. It's like the association with the the occult is, like, a
Speaker:little too much for them sometimes. But yeah. And
Speaker:so, you know, getting into it, how did you
Speaker:start differentiating who the angels were? Like, when I'm going down the
Speaker:list, from Michael, Metatron,
Speaker:Azrael, Uriel, you know, it just I mean, you get a whole
Speaker:bunch of them, and they're all, based out of, the
Speaker:bible and the the Talmud and things like that. How do you
Speaker:differentiate, 1 angel from the other? Like, is he Mike,
Speaker:hey. I'm Michael. How you do I mean or does he look like, you
Speaker:know, John Travolta did in the movie? You know, it's so funny because the
Speaker:first time I would connect with archangel Michael, I'd, like, developed a crush on
Speaker:him. I mean, that's probably really inappropriate, but it's okay. The angels know who
Speaker:I am. They know I'm a little inappropriate. So
Speaker:And they also know humans are humans. Exactly. Yeah. Yeah. So they don't care.
Speaker:But, so, yeah, some of it is from research and and working
Speaker:with these, energies intuitively. So over the years, I've
Speaker:been working more deeply with opening up my intuition and and learning more
Speaker:about energy and learning how to do more healing work and stuff like Mike. And,
Speaker:you know, always being guided from spirit into what I was gonna
Speaker:learn. But really Wendy came to the set the 21
Speaker:days of, the angel experiment and how I set up the days,
Speaker:I would sit every day and ask for, an
Speaker:archangel to come forward because I wanted to mostly work with the archangels.
Speaker:And then I would essentially channel
Speaker:the feeling or the new thought or the opening that they wanted to
Speaker:give the people for that day. And so I
Speaker:learned about them all through experience, not just through
Speaker:books. I mean, I did put explanations, general explanations of the archangels in there,
Speaker:but I really don't want people to get stuck on any how anyone
Speaker:else defines anything. I much prefer people to enter into
Speaker:this field of possibility and magic and discover for
Speaker:themselves the truth. Okay. Because I thought I was saying, like, specifically, like, if you
Speaker:look into the history of some of the angels. Right? You know, it's that Michael
Speaker:is I mean, he's the leader of God's army.
Speaker:Mhmm. You know, Eric Eric Roberts plays him in the prophecy too.
Speaker:You know, if you wanna, But that that movie is all about the war in
Speaker:heaven or whatever. I think John John Travolta played him too.
Speaker:Right. No. Yeah. John Travolta played in the movie Mike. Yeah. He, like, sprouts wings
Speaker:in part of it. No. No. I saw it in the theater. But also
Speaker:so he's the leader of the army of God, and he's the angel of death
Speaker:that carries souls from earth to heaven. Is it, like, a specific
Speaker:if you look at the different origins or what people said he
Speaker:did in the hierarchy. And so then, like, how does
Speaker:he present himself? Or were you when you're when
Speaker:you're going in there and you're saying, okay. I wanna set people up with angels.
Speaker:Why start with Michael? Or how did you know, that
Speaker:I mean, a he I think it's weird to use a gender for
Speaker:creations that do not reproduce sexually, so they are gender free.
Speaker:But, how would you, you know, how did you know that Michael was a good
Speaker:1 to start with? Well, Michael is just the the ultimate,
Speaker:kick kick butt warrior, and, you know, what we're all up
Speaker:against is a bunch of negativity and fear based energy. And
Speaker:so working with archangel Michael, if that's all people did, they would still
Speaker:see major results. Right? Because he's really good at
Speaker:at well, he right? Well, you know but but people
Speaker:people experience the presence of archangel Michael in different
Speaker:ways. So if I'm standing up and I invoke him, do an
Speaker:invocation, my whole body it it's like he lands on my feet and
Speaker:my whole body, like, tips forward. So then I know, okay. That's Michael. Some people
Speaker:it's it's some or sometimes you can just feel a lot of heat. So when
Speaker:people you know, so everybody has their own unique
Speaker:feeling about how these archangels will appeal to them.
Speaker:And so that's why I don't like to give a lot of rules of thumb.
Speaker:It's just, you know, I'm all about experimenting, and you practice and you practice and
Speaker:you practice until you get a certain result. And so okay.
Speaker:So let's start I mean, so Michael feels like you feel like you're gonna
Speaker:tip over. Like, it's a For me. Yeah. Yes. You know, it's a it's an
Speaker:overwhelming, like, hey, Corinne. How are you doing? I know. It's cool.
Speaker:And, so when people are trying out the angel
Speaker:experiment, like, what can they expect to try to do?
Speaker:So I think so people don't do they think that they have to have their,
Speaker:like, own room in an hour a day for some kind of meditation? Do they
Speaker:need candles? Do they need special pillows? Like, if
Speaker:somebody said, oh, Corinne, I'm buying your book. What do I need to,
Speaker:you know, what do I need to do to get ready to give myself 3
Speaker:weeks of giving it a shot? Yeah. Okay. Well, I walk
Speaker:everybody through step by step exactly what to do. I do recommend
Speaker:creating a sacred space in your house if you don't have 1. And that's just
Speaker:really, you know, a place that people go to kind of connect with spirit or
Speaker:pray, but that could be like as simple as a little candle or maybe just
Speaker:a little crystal. It could be really elaborate. So I give
Speaker:different options in the book. And it really, it really is
Speaker:a beautiful thing to do to create a little sacred space in your home because
Speaker:you're constantly reminding yourself you're engaged in in an
Speaker:experiment, and you're calling in the sacred into your life. And I just
Speaker:find when you go agree with you on that completely. And it's it's funny
Speaker:because I used to think that was just BS. I had
Speaker:a 1 time, we were my band was touring, and we were through,
Speaker:oh, like, way up north in Minnesota. Like, it's, like, almost
Speaker:to Fargo. Like, we were at the it's the edge of the world, like the
Speaker:headwaters of Bemidji, Minnesota. Mhmm. And, you'd play
Speaker:2 nights, and you'd stay with this couple who did all the booking and everything.
Speaker:And we brought some crew with us 1 time, and we were
Speaker:looking for places for the crew to sleep. And she's like, oh, well,
Speaker:they could sleep in here, but this is kinda it's kinda like
Speaker:my female sacred space and bringing in the energies weird.
Speaker:And, you know, obviously, they're like, what the hell?
Speaker:Like, come on. You know? But then I realize that
Speaker:it's the things that make it sacred, the things that make things special.
Speaker:Like, I you know, that that's how I think of, like, a a performance or
Speaker:on stage. They're like, you you treat it sacred, and it
Speaker:does change everything around it by
Speaker:and and those arbitrary rules that I used to think were so silly or
Speaker:whatever are what makes it work.
Speaker:Yeah. Interesting. Yes. So that's that's where
Speaker:you're you know, when you're saying that, I I would say, like, 20 years ago,
Speaker:I'd been like, give me a break, Corinne. Sacred space. Just use the
Speaker:just use the corner and shut up. But no. III think
Speaker:you're a 100% like that idea of creating that in I think that
Speaker:changes just by creating that space in your house in the first place
Speaker:Wow. Is a is a start and will change things a little
Speaker:bit. Oh, gosh. It is so true. I've had such incredible things happen
Speaker:just by setting up a sacred space, whether it's, like, at a hotel. I I
Speaker:have a travel sacred space that I take with me. It's smaller.
Speaker:It's cute. It's petite, but, you know, it works. But,
Speaker:yeah, I love it. I've had incredible experiences just setting 1
Speaker:up in, like, a new house. You know? And you could just feel, like, the
Speaker:radiance. It's it's just, like, this beautiful portal to spirit. And, yeah,
Speaker:if you kind of create a sacred space inside your home, then your home
Speaker:becomes sacred. Your life becomes sacred. And, and, I've
Speaker:and I have lots of people writing to me about how much they love that
Speaker:process and they had never done it before, but they just love that process. So
Speaker:many people, maybe they go to church, and they think of just church as being
Speaker:the only place that's sacred. But Right. What happens when you can just
Speaker:bring it right right next to you? And so that's the the first step is
Speaker:that in in in another 21 days is make that space in your home.
Speaker:Then once they kinda get that going, what do you think is the next important
Speaker:thing so they can get ready so that they can give the 21 days the
Speaker:best, you know, the best shot they can, the the best
Speaker:college try they can. Best shot. Okay. It's really important that if you're gonna
Speaker:do the Wendy day angel experiment, that you
Speaker:have to read every section of the book. I said III have a section
Speaker:called pro tips for success, and it's super easy read. But it
Speaker:tells you kind of what to look for and and how to kind of
Speaker:think of things. And some some of the stuff takes a little mind shift, a
Speaker:little quick mind shift. So, read through that
Speaker:because, we just want you to be set up properly.
Speaker:And I I really want you to treat this it it it is an
Speaker:experiment. It's just that your life is the laboratory. And
Speaker:so be prepared to keep records, have something you could keep
Speaker:records of cool experiences. We just talked about synchronicities amping up
Speaker:when you're working with angels, and people start getting,
Speaker:feeling peace right away. As a matter of fact, someone just posted something in 1
Speaker:of my, my 7 day miracle challenge Facebook group. And there's a lot of people
Speaker:who just got the book and they're sharing their experiences. But someone yesterday, just she
Speaker:said, I just got the book and this in my mailbox, and it was a
Speaker:check for $12,000. She said, I didn't know this was coming, but now I don't
Speaker:have to take out a loan. I'm like, great.
Speaker:Right. Well, that's, Mike, I mean, that's the kind of synchronicity we'd all like to
Speaker:get. Yeah. I know. But just that that's possible. I just love you know, because,
Speaker:we have a robust community online, and we love sharing these cool stories. Right? So
Speaker:we love hearing I love hearing about this stuff. I mean, I it never gets
Speaker:old for me. It just deepens my my kind of faith that this stuff is
Speaker:real, and the more that we're all privy to the fact that you have allies
Speaker:that are sitting right there, I mean, you know, angels they they
Speaker:we need to make them cool again because angels are cool, and they're here for
Speaker:everybody. And it doesn't matter if you're religious or on a certain spiritual
Speaker:path or not a certain spiritual path or whatever. It doesn't matter. They don't care,
Speaker:So you shouldn't either. Well, you know, I would say that if you guys wanna
Speaker:think angels are cool, watch the prophecy because Christopher Walken's an
Speaker:angel, and anything he's in is gonna be cool. It's not
Speaker:like Valerie Bertinelli in Touched by an Angel or whatever. I mean, I
Speaker:can I can see if you like that, but I can see where people are
Speaker:like, well so I'm with you? I do think
Speaker:that there's a way to make angels cool, and,
Speaker:that's a it's it's a good crusade to be on.
Speaker:You what I think here, though, that it's important. You just said, like, read every
Speaker:section of the book, if you're gonna try it. And that gets back
Speaker:to is that idea in magic. The important part
Speaker:isn't necessarily it's not necessarily
Speaker:that the intention's always there even though the
Speaker:intention is important, but the ceremony, like, even
Speaker:if your intention isn't there, going through every aspect of the ceremony. I
Speaker:Wendy have, like, boiling the eye of newt. Like, make sure it's boiled
Speaker:or whatever. You gotta go through those parts of the
Speaker:ceremony to make it work. So no matter how silly
Speaker:the ceremony feels, and even if you feel it's silly, it seems
Speaker:to be that the process of the
Speaker:ceremony going through each bit of it is
Speaker:what helps somehow your unconscious or the
Speaker:angels or God or universe or whatever you wanna say, it
Speaker:helps you point it in the right direction, and it's that ceremony that counts.
Speaker:And so I just wanted to get like, when you said, like, we'll read the
Speaker:entire book. Like, that's giving it the college try or whatever is by going
Speaker:through each piece, and it seems to be that that's how,
Speaker:quote, unquote, magic works. You have to go through each
Speaker:piece. Yeah. I think preparation. But, you know, preparation.
Speaker:And the beginning of the book is really easy to get through. You can burn
Speaker:through it in, like, a day or, like, a couple hours probably. So but it
Speaker:is important not to skip ahead because by in
Speaker:by opening yourself up to these steps and really giving it the old
Speaker:college try, you're really setting yourself up for
Speaker:success. And we are hardwired for ceremony. Ritual is fun,
Speaker:and we forgot how to do ritual. You know, in the West, we don't really
Speaker:get into it the way, we probably did in the past, but
Speaker:but it just feels good. We people like it, and it helps open us up
Speaker:to, these beautiful benevolent forces that are there
Speaker:right now to support us. Well, you know, I think that's an interesting point too
Speaker:because I think about, when I went to church in my youth,
Speaker:and it was just a drag. And you're like, oh, my god. Church.
Speaker:And then, when I would have friends that went
Speaker:to, like, Latin countries for study abroad and
Speaker:things, they'd be like, yeah. We all went to church on Sunday, and it was
Speaker:awesome because, like, everybody went. The whole community went, and then we were talking
Speaker:around afterward. Like, the community based part of it, like, the ritual was
Speaker:important to it, and that created, like, where it was
Speaker:fun, to go even though it was the same
Speaker:mass just in Spanish instead of English and Latin. Right? And you're
Speaker:like, man. Like, it was always just a bummer for me.
Speaker:So you are you're correct. I think we we we gave rituals a bad
Speaker:name, in the west, and so people are scared of it because they're just
Speaker:like, I've been to trust me. I've been to church. I know what happens.
Speaker:Exactly. I know there's been so much bad press about ritual, about
Speaker:angels. I mean, we're we gotta bring the sexy back to all of that stuff.
Speaker:Well and so we should talk about some of the other angels. And who are,
Speaker:like, your favorites of the of the ones that,
Speaker:you feel have you've connected with?
Speaker:First of all, the you you already said the angels are in different frequencies, and
Speaker:they feel different. So, like, what's what's your favorite frequency?
Speaker:Oh, gosh. I think it just depends on on what I'm going through and what
Speaker:I'm doing. You know? So so I've noticed for me, if I go through
Speaker:different initiations or I'm working with different things, like,
Speaker:let's say writing this book. So when I was writing this book, Archangel
Speaker:Raziel was around a lot, really kind of helping me. And it's so
Speaker:interesting because the cover of this book,
Speaker:was done by my, by my publisher, but they put sacred
Speaker:geometry behind there. I never talked to them about sacred geometry. I don't even
Speaker:I don't even talk about sacred geometry in in the book, but they
Speaker:put sacred geometry on there, and archangel Raziel governs
Speaker:that stuff. He's Yes. The the keeper of secrets. Yeah. He's the keeper of
Speaker:secrets, a master magician. So he is all over this book. He was helping
Speaker:me essentially bring the power to of the ritual, And so
Speaker:they, you know, they infuse the work that I do, the whatever courses they infuse
Speaker:it with their energy. So Raziel was, like, was, you know, showing up
Speaker:even in the on the cover here. And, and so it depends on
Speaker:what I'm doing. So in the beginning, archangel Michael, right, he had his work cut
Speaker:out for me, because I was living so dark and in such a dark
Speaker:place. So he he really helped, I feel, usher me out
Speaker:of a really dark period in my life and and help open up my
Speaker:my energy channels in my life to not not all that fear based stuff, but
Speaker:I was able to begin hearing the voice of love and and,
Speaker:the voice of hope and inspiration and possibility. And really, the things I
Speaker:do today, never could have been possible without the angels
Speaker:because I I did not believe in myself. I had an extraordinarily low self
Speaker:esteem. I didn't feel like I had anything to offer. So archangel Michael is just
Speaker:really great at just cutting through the crap. Just cut through the crap, get to
Speaker:your juicy essence. Well and so but we talk about that. So when
Speaker:you say, I mean, we we talk about the the synchronicities that were happening, and
Speaker:then you see a miracle of the the 3 birds flying
Speaker:around. Like, what then, is the next step?
Speaker:Or, like, how do you like, was it through meditation? Was it through
Speaker:prayer? Was it through like, how then did, you
Speaker:start go from just having a cool angel healing experience
Speaker:to the archangel Mike stepping on my feet?
Speaker:I know. Well, I just started playing more because then I after the miracle, it
Speaker:was you you well, you can put that back in a bag and pretend like
Speaker:that didn't happen. But because I was changing so much, like I said, the, like,
Speaker:years of my trauma was disappearing. I was waking up wanting to
Speaker:be awake and alive, wanting to engage in
Speaker:Mike. So I just kept in communion and kept it kept
Speaker:doing, just sitting with them and do and that's where I kind
Speaker:of developed some of these rituals here of just opening up the space
Speaker:for them to come into my life. So slowly but surely,
Speaker:they guided me to different things, and they guided me in my
Speaker:sessions to try different things that I had never tried. Like, hey, I'm gonna just
Speaker:ask archangel Michael to to heal you. How about that? Like, that was
Speaker:really random for me, but, you know, I just learned to trust my intuition.
Speaker:And that's something that is really important for us all, that there's, you know,
Speaker:we we kind of overemphasize just logic and just, you
Speaker:know, just logic and rational thinking, which is so great.
Speaker:Scientific revolution was was amazing in a lot of different ways, but it's
Speaker:knocked the magic out of us. So, so working with our
Speaker:intuition and really trusting that we have access to
Speaker:incredible things is a good start. So that's what I started to do. They they
Speaker:started, you know, helping me see how important it was to trust my
Speaker:gut, my intuition, to listen to the good voice, the positive voice, and not not
Speaker:all that negativity that's trying to constantly suck us down. When you were
Speaker:working with, some of your, therapy patients
Speaker:Mhmm. Like, when did you decide when were you Mike, alright,
Speaker:There's a lot of psychotherapists out there that can do the traditional stuff. When did
Speaker:you make the move to be like, I'm gonna be the angel lady? Because that's
Speaker:that's a big step, especially because you to get a therapist
Speaker:career I know. Is a lot of school, a lot of time Yeah.
Speaker:And effort. And then to, take this
Speaker:step and and jump in to be Mike, I'm gonna help
Speaker:people spiritually instead of just shrink their
Speaker:heads or whatever. Like, that's a like, what was that, you know,
Speaker:when you were ready to go? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that was a weird process,
Speaker:but, but not that weird. It was actually pretty
Speaker:natural, but I had to confront my pride and Yeah. You know, and be
Speaker:willing to come out of the angel closet. I used to call it angel shame.
Speaker:I had angel shame. Like, I wouldn't wanna talk about it to anybody. And, actually,
Speaker:I didn't even I didn't even tell anybody about the the miracle for a couple
Speaker:years. Right? And so, but I knew what was happening to Mike. And I
Speaker:started kind of, like, little gorilla tactics in my office,
Speaker:started, you know, being like, hey. You wanna do some agent work, you know, and
Speaker:see see what happens? But because it really was because the results that people were
Speaker:having were so radical, I started putting my
Speaker:education, and my pride aside for the
Speaker:truth because my goal was always to just help people, and I'm gonna help them
Speaker:in the the best way and the fastest way that I know how. And the
Speaker:spiritual and healing work that I was doing was freaking, like,
Speaker:working in lightning speed compared to, let's just talk about your childhood for
Speaker:5 freaking years. Right? And so, so we could handle
Speaker:it in 30 minutes or we could talk more for 5 years. How what do
Speaker:you what do you wanna do? And so, yeah, that's how it started. But, yeah,
Speaker:when I started coming out of the spiritual closet to my colleagues, that was really
Speaker:interesting because people had a lot of, judgment about that, and I knew
Speaker:they would. Well and and, like, what how about your husband though too? Because he's
Speaker:Mike you know, he's thinking, well, we're making good psychotherapist
Speaker:money, and I hope I hope your I hope your angels have a
Speaker:checkbook. I know. It's so I know. It was awkward, okay?
Speaker:He's very grounded, very traditional, very, you
Speaker:know, fact based. And here I am going in this weird direction, wanting
Speaker:to invest in, you know, more in trainings that have nothing
Speaker:to do with my chosen career, with money we don't have, and where our house
Speaker:is going into foreclosure. And are you sure you need to go to this thing?
Speaker:And it's Mike, I I just it just seems like fun. I just I just
Speaker:feel like I gotta go. And so but here's the thing. You know, we've been
Speaker:at this now for about 10 years, and he's see
Speaker:he's a believer now. He didn't start to be a believer, but he's watched me.
Speaker:He's watched what's happened in our Mike, and he's he sees, Mike,
Speaker:okay. Now he sees miracles now. He can see it. Did he
Speaker:do any of the experiment? Did he, like, run does he ever come with you
Speaker:and be like, alright. I'll do some angel stuff with you? Yeah. Well, you know
Speaker:what's so funny? When I started getting, gaining more popularity and
Speaker:having more success and people you know, things were really happening for
Speaker:people, he would wanna want an angel session with me, and I'd be like, you're
Speaker:gonna have to book a session, and I'm gonna charge you double. Like, I just
Speaker:he's Mike, no. So friends and family, you always charge double for stuff
Speaker:like that. Right? You don't give him a family discount. That's crazy.
Speaker:Not even the angels go for that. Like, hey. They understand. I know. It's just
Speaker:Mike keep you gotta keep your friends and family out of your practice for Pete's
Speaker:sake. They're nothing but headaches. But, but, no, he he's a
Speaker:he's a believer, and he helps me a lot. He does I I do a
Speaker:I have a member site where I do live, I send audios,
Speaker:energy healing audios to people every Sunday, and he helps he helps,
Speaker:edit those because he's an audio designer. So he has radical sometimes
Speaker:radical insights and experiences doing that, But, you know, I don't try and force
Speaker:it on him. He doesn't he's he's just coming along for the sweet ride.
Speaker:Okay. Now, you know, earlier, I noticed you
Speaker:said that, ghosts and spirits seem to have
Speaker:a different energy than angels. And you're like, oh, I can tell when it's an
Speaker:angel that versus a ghost. And I'm like, put the brakes on
Speaker:for a second and, like, it was this something you had
Speaker:did could you always tell? Were you intuitive naturally, like, when you were younger? Did
Speaker:you have any kind of experiences like that? No. Not really. No. This is this
Speaker:all got activated after the miracle happened. Like, my my some of my
Speaker:spiritual gifts got activated. And the more that I did angel healing sessions
Speaker:with people, sometimes they would bring crossed over loved ones to come and talk to
Speaker:the person if there was some unfinished business there that needed to
Speaker:be healed. I didn't straight up, like, go, oh, I'm gonna be a medium. It's
Speaker:just that it's a byproduct of working with angels sometimes. So, like, when I train
Speaker:people how to do angel work, we do have to train them in mediumship too
Speaker:just in case that happens. But, yeah, when a crossover loved 1 comes around, I
Speaker:was shocked because it's not it they it's like talking to
Speaker:just regular people. It's just talking to people. But when
Speaker:angels kinda come in, there's a different thing. It's like a effervescence.
Speaker:And I for me, I get more, physical physical
Speaker:sensations, like angel bumps, like, you know, there's feathers, like stroking up and
Speaker:down my spine kind of thing. But it there's a palpable
Speaker:difference. And, you know, knowing now knowing a lot of intuitives and
Speaker:mediums, they all kind of agree. There's a whole different energy. None is better than
Speaker:the other. You just know you know, just the every being, including you, has
Speaker:your own energy signature. Okay. And I'm just thinking about because
Speaker:I never have any kind I've never talked to anything from the other side or
Speaker:whatever. And and so I I always wonder, like, does it
Speaker:look like somebody's in the room? Does it a voice you hear in
Speaker:your ears? Is it like you said, so the the angel bumps is a good
Speaker:description. So now we're getting some you have a physical
Speaker:sensation Mhmm. That a sense that's out you know, that
Speaker:like, when I'm talking to you right now, I'm not stroking a feather down your
Speaker:back. Like, if you're having this thing, like Mike. So you you
Speaker:get that physical sensation. And then what does it sound like in your
Speaker:ears? Like, how do you get the the words correct? Yeah. Okay. So
Speaker:it all depends on what your gifts are, what your spiritual gifts are. So,
Speaker:so some people are clairaudient. They can actually hear spirit and
Speaker:hear the voices. Okay? Sometimes that can go south if you're not listening to
Speaker:the right voices. So you have to be careful if you're clairaudient. Don't listen to
Speaker:the bad guys. Right? But, clairsentience, feelers can
Speaker:feel, the you know, and start discerning the the energy.
Speaker:So let's say, like, I'm in a session. This is back in the day. I
Speaker:don't do a lot of 1 on 1 these days anymore, but I train people
Speaker:how to do it. Mike, 1 time I had, I
Speaker:was doing an angel session, and then I had someone start tapping me, like and
Speaker:it felt like a person tapping me on the hand, which had never happened to
Speaker:me before. So I stopped I stopped the session, and it was, this
Speaker:person's mother-in-law who had crossed over a couple let me
Speaker:maybe about a couple of months before that. So it can come in a lot
Speaker:of different ways. Sometimes I could and when so for
Speaker:me, a lot of it is just a feeling. I get a feeling of what's
Speaker:being said. I don't always hear. Sometimes I do hear. It just depends on
Speaker:really the the being that's connecting with you and and how you're
Speaker:choosing to receive it in that moment. But I learned, like, don't sit
Speaker:and wait for a full apparition and, oh, because someone's going to hand you know,
Speaker:someone's going to tap you on the hand or whatever. Don't wait for all of
Speaker:that. Most of us do pick up on on these things. Like, I I did
Speaker:not I was not 1 of those people who was like, oh, I've been talking
Speaker:to dead people my whole life. Like, it you know? I meet a lot I
Speaker:meet a lot of those people. Right? I know. I'm wondering about it. I know.
Speaker:You do. But this is why I talk about this so so much is that
Speaker:we all have access to this stuff. It's just a matter of learning to
Speaker:reattune and open start flexing those muscles. So, Mike,
Speaker:literally, you could take a training in the weekend and talk to talk to a
Speaker:dead person and have it validated more than likely within, like, a few
Speaker:days. You know? I've never seen nobody and I've
Speaker:trained hundreds of people all over the world. I've never seen anybody
Speaker:not be able to do it. It's just a matter of being interested in it,
Speaker:curious about it, and letting yourself, get it wrong
Speaker:sometimes. You know? And so when people would do would go through, like, this
Speaker:angel experiment here, who do you feel
Speaker:out of the various angels and stuff in there? Are any of
Speaker:the angels, let's say, not necessarily
Speaker:amoral, but when you think about, like, the Lovecraftian view of, like,
Speaker:the indifferent universe, and you think these
Speaker:angels are spirits on a different or creatures are on a different level.
Speaker:And even in the Christian Judeo Christian
Speaker:hierarchy, there's, you know, angels are separated
Speaker:from humans as God's, like, first creation and stuff.
Speaker:Like, are all the angels on our Mike? Or some angels, like,
Speaker:they'll help you if they feel like it? You know, you think even the Greek
Speaker:gods, when you think about the Greek gods, there's some Greek gods that are, like,
Speaker:really wanna do stuff for humans and some Greek gods that think of humans
Speaker:begrudgingly. Yeah. So are so are these
Speaker:angels different personality wise? Yeah. Well, you know, I
Speaker:there's more than so I I'm working with archangels, but there's, like,
Speaker:tons and tons of angels out there, and some of them are considered fallen
Speaker:angels. So, so we don't necessarily work with those, but
Speaker:they are constantly kind of in our space trying to get us to do
Speaker:trying to trying to get us to do things that we're ashamed of or we
Speaker:don't like, or they're, you know, kinda in our ear telling us to hate ourselves
Speaker:and stuff like that. Or that's what I found. And that's what I've, that's my
Speaker:belief at this stage in the game. But Well, that's what I
Speaker:was thinking about because you have a day where you, like, contact Azrael.
Speaker:And, like, in dogma, Jason Lee plays Azrael, and he's Mike
Speaker:a fallen angel. Yeah. So in but in your cosmology,
Speaker:Asriel's still on our side. Well, Asriel okay. I
Speaker:think, you know, people might misinterpret Asriel because he helps with the
Speaker:threshold of death, meaning he helps people who are crossed over
Speaker:get to the other side, and he also helps alleviate grief.
Speaker:So so, Azrael, I I don't have a negative
Speaker:energy or a negative but but, again, this stuff is, like, for us
Speaker:to really discover for ourselves. These are angels that I
Speaker:feel are benevolent, and sometimes I feel like we don't know how
Speaker:to enlist their help in a powerful way. And that's
Speaker:why they're not hearing us. It's not like, oh, I don't really like you. I
Speaker:don't know. Yeah. Yeah. But we but we but we you
Speaker:know, because again, you know, after years of doing this stuff and and
Speaker:helping people through this, most people through these Wendy day
Speaker:programs, especially if they actually finish them, will start gaining insights on their
Speaker:own and gaining inspiration. And let's say 1 day doesn't
Speaker:feel like anything happened for you. It's just it's still adding to this
Speaker:alchemy in in your heart, mind, and life. And so,
Speaker:I it's freaking fun. It's just fun work, and it's crazy.
Speaker:And it gets crazy weird and awesome and miraculous and cool things
Speaker:happen for people. Well, I I think also anytime that you're
Speaker:spending, meditating, thinking,
Speaker:journaling, and spending time directing your life in
Speaker:the, you know, correct orientation, it's going to have a
Speaker:it's gonna have a positive effect. Exactly. And and, you know, reading through your book,
Speaker:that's exactly the it it puts you it puts people in that positive,
Speaker:orientation, I really thought. And as someone
Speaker:and I've seen a couple of things I I think are miraculous.
Speaker:And but as someone like you who's you you know, you've experienced
Speaker:a bunch of miracles, is there any 1 in particular that you were
Speaker:like, alright. This is the blockbuster miracle. Mike, the like,
Speaker:I can't you know, this this 1 that even I have a hard time believing.
Speaker:Yeah. I mean, I it's hard to beat the a bird dividing into 3.
Speaker:That's a big 1. I'm with you. Big 1. I'll give you the next 1
Speaker:because it's so it's somewhat pertinent. It's pertinent to our conversation.
Speaker:Okay. When I was developing this book and and I
Speaker:you know, I've I've I've created a lot of courses. I've done you know,
Speaker:I usually don't have a problem finishing something. Right? But this book
Speaker:was, like, haunting me, and I just couldn't make myself finish no
Speaker:matter what. And so I sit with Spirit, and I was like, what's the dealio?
Speaker:Right? Like, why is this not working out, and why can't I finish it? And
Speaker:they said, it's because you're you're trying to self publish it, and you're supposed to
Speaker:have a a traditional publisher. You need to find someone to
Speaker:to publish your book. And I was like, you know, okay.
Speaker:But, yeah, I'm not gonna that's a lot of work, and I was Yeah. Super
Speaker:busy at the time. So I was like, okay. We're gonna wait another 3
Speaker:years then. So I was teaching this I was doing this
Speaker:week long ceremony. I brought 25 people out to the woods, and we did all
Speaker:this good stuff out there. I invited my friend to come and support,
Speaker:the team or support the people there. And so on the way back,
Speaker:she's like, hey. Can we stop by my new client's house? And I said,
Speaker:sure. You know, she's like, yeah. I just she's
Speaker:from Canada, but he he's lives right off the freeway
Speaker:on her way home. So can we stop? And I was like, sure. So turns
Speaker:out that this man, is the the
Speaker:owner of the the published New World Library, the
Speaker:publisher who published my book, who's published amazing authors, you know, like
Speaker:Eckhart Tolle and stuff like this. So in that moment, I
Speaker:was Mike and it was about maybe about 6 weeks after,
Speaker:after III was told, you're gonna get a publisher. You need a real
Speaker:publisher. So I was like, oh my god. Maybe this is it. Dang it, angels.
Speaker:But I can't pimp myself out. Like, I knew that if I went in there,
Speaker:I was not gonna be able to say anything because I I just would freeze
Speaker:up. You know? So I told my Wendy, it's Mike, it's too bad because I
Speaker:can't actually tell him I have a book that needs to get published. And
Speaker:so he looks at me in the middle of a cappuccino that he made for
Speaker:us, and he looks right at me and he says, do you have a book?
Speaker:And I said, yes, I do. Thank you for asking. And I started you know,
Speaker:on the inside, I was, like, you know, 15 teenage girls jumping
Speaker:and jumping jumping for glee. On the outside, I just seemed
Speaker:very composed. Like, why, yes, I do. Thank you for asking.
Speaker:But but yeah. So that is was the beginning of of how this book
Speaker:got published. It still had to go through committee, but it was like, woah.
Speaker:It was, like, weeks after they told me I'm gonna get a publisher. So that
Speaker:kind of thing, has happened a lot. No. I I love to hear about
Speaker:little synchronicities like Mike, and, it's been a pleasure talking to you today, Corinne, and
Speaker:I wanna thank you very much for joining us. Now, obviously, we're
Speaker:gonna have links to the book and Corinne's website at the show notes, otherside
Speaker:podcast dot com slash 275. But if you are too lazy to
Speaker:go to the show notes and you just wanna go in your browser and find
Speaker:her right now, Corinne, where can they find you? Corinnegrillo.com.

Speaker:Facebook page, and find our community 7 day miracle challenge in our
Speaker:in Facebook. So you guys can, try that out for yourself and,
Speaker:see what happens when you take The Angel Experiment, a Wendy day
Speaker:magical adventure to heal your life.
Speaker:Corinne's story of overcoming her melancholy and keeping fighting the good
Speaker:fight even when she was thinking of quitting it all is heartening
Speaker:whether you believe in angels or not. Her idea of everyday
Speaker:miracles that people can see in their own life is a way of showing
Speaker:gratitude for the good things that do happen. Her story,
Speaker:plus the thought of angels as warriors with flaming swords, was the
Speaker:inspiration behind this week's track, The Battle of
Speaker:Everyday.
Speaker:This is the battle of everyday.
Speaker:This is the war to fight
Speaker:everyday. We need more than a pair to make it go
Speaker:away. Are you safe? Are

Speaker:want
Speaker:These just don't give up.
Speaker:And the better angels of our nature will
Speaker:fight for us 1 more day.
Speaker:This is the battle of every day.
Speaker:This is the conflict of will power versus hurt.
Speaker:This is the struggle where we pray.
Speaker:For the strength to keep ourselves out of the
Speaker:dirt every day,
Speaker:every day, where every
Speaker:single victory feels like it's just in vain.
Speaker:Are you safe?
Speaker:You're not just up against the whole world. You're
Speaker:fighting your own brain. Tomorrow
Speaker:never comes.
Speaker:We get 1 moment that we can never change.
Speaker:Please just don't give up.
Speaker:And the better angels are. All I make sure will
Speaker:fight for us 1 more day. Tomorrow
