Before you scroll past this episode, do not think that this is about ghosts, witches, goblins, and other spooky paranormal investigations that we have heard about from Hollywood and other types of dramatizations! This is all about the energies that we leave behind in our daily lives and how they can infect, sometimes even destroy, the very fabric of our lives and our relationships with others. Today's guest, Anna Schmidt, has devoted her life to the paranormal and helping her clients cleanse the "left-behind energies" that are exuded from long-forgotten physical, mental, and emotional belongings that are often not seen to the common person. However, by focusing on the intentionality of our energy patterns, we can also find common factors in the personal and professional development of ourselves (and others). Learn not only how that is possible, but be prepared to also gain invaluable skills in how the non-verbal energy we share can be important to creating meaningful engagements in our lives.

Intro/Outro By: Michael Dugan, Podcast Host: Voice4Chefs
Welcome to the podcast where relationships, confidence, and
2
:determination all converge into
an amazing, heartfelt experience.
3
:This is Speaking From The Heart.
4
:Joshua: Welcome back to episode number
92 of Speaking from the Heart, and do
5
:you sense something in the air, maybe
a different type of energy pattern,
6
:maybe a different type of feeling in the
room that you're sitting in as you're
7
:listening to this, or even driving?
8
:Well, today's guest might be somebody that
you might want to call upon, especially
9
:if you're from the great country of
Australia, which my guest is coming from.
10
:Her name is Anna Schmidt, and Anna is
a super sensitive psychic whose passion
11
:and career as a professional house
healer and paranormal specialist have
12
:allowed her to learn about, and work
with, various types of energy beings
13
:that share the earth realm with us.
14
:She has been a psychic since
birth, and was thrust into the
15
:paranormal world from a young age.
16
:Initially, she was scared like
everyone else, but also had an
17
:undeniable curiosity about the energy
beings she could sense, but not see.
18
:This inquisitiveness compelled her
to learn more until now, where she
19
:currently works as a paranormal house
and personal energy clearing specialist.
20
:She has learned much on this unusual
and unique life journey, and I have to
21
:say, that's just the underpinning of
this overall conversation, which I was
22
:really skeptical in the beginning about
paranormal activity, because I have not
23
:always believed in the paranormal, let
alone ghosts, and goblins, and things
24
:of that nature, but towards the end
of the interview, I started to have a
25
:different type of opinion about what kind
of things actually make up ourselves,
26
:and the energy patterns that we actually
project onto others, and this unique
27
:combination between the coaching world
and the paranormal world certainly is
28
:played out in today's episode, and also
shows and demonstrates that there are
29
:more things that just meet the eye, but
might actually meet in the meta, and in
30
:that meta, we might be able to find a
lot of different things about ourselves,
31
:and what we can ultimately achieve.
32
:I will warn you that there have been some
technical issues during the recording
33
:of this episode in which you might hear
some reverberation and feedback from when
34
:I ask questions with Anna, and I truly
apologize as you're listening to this,
35
:as you hear that echo, that you might be
able to tune it out on your own, but the
36
:rest of the recording, and the substantial
conversation that we have, in which Anna
37
:responds to a lot of my questions, was
not impacted during the recording process,
38
:so I apologize in advance if that starts
to become a little bit more annoying
39
:as we go further into this episode.
40
:But with that, let's go to the episode.
41
:All right.
42
:We are here with Anna Schmidt.
43
:Anna, thanks for sharing
your heart with us today.
44
:Anna: Hi, Joshua.
45
:It's great to be here with you today.
46
:Joshua: Thank you so much.
47
:I have to let the audience know already
that you're my third international guest
48
:on Speaking From the Heart, so thank
you for traveling overseas to the United
49
:States here to virtually be here with me.
50
:I really appreciate it, so, Anna, I want
to start off this question because you are
51
:one of these people that I haven't had on
the show yet, and I really love the fact
52
:that you do this sort of work because
I've had people that have worked in
53
:different types of relationship coaching.
54
:I've had people that have worked
in some sort of weird atmosphere
55
:of itself, whether it's with
the Church of Scientology.
56
:You do paranormal work, so,
and I'm probably really putting
57
:it in a big general bucket.
58
:I would love for you to tell us
specifically what you do, just to
59
:clarify for our audience, although I
introduced you, and what got you into
60
:this line of work in the first place?
61
:Anna: Ah, well, I have always been
psychically sensitive to the environment.
62
:Ever since I was a child, I would
primarily feel energetic changes
63
:in the environment that you can't
see, and you can't explain it.
64
:I mean, when you're a child, you can't
tell adults that there's something else
65
:in the room because you can't describe it.
66
:You just don't know how to express that
without coming across as having mental
67
:health issues, basically, so being psychic
all my life, I've just been aware of
68
:what's around us, and I've journeyed
through lots of different psychic
69
:skills, if you want to call them that.
70
:I started with tarot card reading,
palmistry, numerology, but I've
71
:always had; and you'll probably find
this a bit different or a bit odd.
72
:I've always had a passion
for the darker energy beings.
73
:Now, when I say passion, it's
more an interest; a curiosity.
74
:I want to know about them.
75
:They're not what you see in the movies,
and a lot of the experiences that I've
76
:had through my work as a paranormal house
clearer, is that I'm interacting with
77
:these beings sometimes on a daily basis.
78
:When I'm clearing a person's house,
that includes their property as in
79
:the land, the outbuildings, cars,
caravans, the property as a whole,
80
:including the house as a building,
and these beings are present in
81
:people's homes for specific reasons.
82
:I won't go into the very detailed
answer, but they're basically drawn to
83
:the energetic imprints that we create.
84
:Everything that we think
or do creates a vibration.
85
:Now, these beings are energy beings,
so they are pure energy and being of
86
:the darker realm, they're attracted
to the shadow side of us, that darker
87
:side of us, that we express when we
go through negative thoughts, negative
88
:actions, traumas, other people's traumas,
whatever triggers you in an emotional
89
:way, creates that vibration, and when
those vibrations build up in homes, or
90
:actually within people, within their
pets, within their cars, wherever
91
:they sit, sleep, lay, whatever they
touch, leaves an imprint, as I call it,
92
:which is just an energetic vibration.
93
:It attracts these energy beings.
94
:They're not really
interested in us as people.
95
:They love what we create,
because we are very emotional.
96
:Joshua: Yeah.
97
:When you say what we create, do you mean,
for example, I might be leaving an imprint
98
:of something negative in a room, and you
could sense that, even if I'm long gone?
99
:Is that what you're referring to?
100
:Anna: Absolutely.
101
:That is exactly what I was getting to.
102
:I was going to give some examples.
103
:I'm very much experience based, as I
share lots of examples with people.
104
:A couple are arguing.
105
:If they've got a bit of trouble going
on in their relationship, if they're
106
:having difficulties and they're arguing
all the time, there's physical violence;
107
:there might be alcohol involved.
108
:They're ranting and raving and they're
thinking that they hate each other,
109
:or they resent each other, or they're
anxious, or worried, or stressed, or
110
:burdened, buildups of those particular
emotional imprints, so we use resentment
111
:as an example, so if you really,
really resent your partner in the
112
:bedroom, bathroom, kitchen, when you
sit in the lounge room, you stew away
113
:in your chair about how much you hate
and resent your partner, that is going
114
:to build up an energetic imprint in
that location, so I'm really good.
115
:I've developed my own method
of sensing these beings.
116
:Now, I don't have to generally walk
into a place because I live in Tasmania,
117
:which is a little tiny island at the
bottom of Australia, and I work worldwide
118
:with what I do, so I work through a
floor plan of the home for each floor.
119
:I work through photos.
120
:I have permission of the person
who owns the property, and I ask
121
:permission; I suppose you could
call it universal permission, to
122
:enter that property energetically,
and it's hard to explain how it
123
:works, but I just know how it works.
124
:When I look through the floor plan, I use
my dowsing, so I don't use copper rods.
125
:I use a pendulum because it's just
quicker, more accurate, and you would
126
:be surprised what you can find in a
home, whether it be a one year old,
127
:10 years old, a hundred years old.
128
:I've worked on a property in Italy.
129
:A farmhouse that was divided into three
homes, so it was divided up into three
130
:different living areas for three different
families, and next to one area was a
131
:chapel that was built in the 1300s.
132
:Now this chapel had seen the
middle age behaviours of people;
133
:you're talking medieval times.
134
:Before I could even enter the third of
the farmhouse that I was employed to
135
:clear by the family that lived there,
the lady sent me a photo and I'm like,
136
:"What is that building?", I said.
137
:"Before I even look at your home, I have
to work on that building.", and she said,
138
:"That's very interesting", because along
that wall in her kitchen and above into
139
:the bedroom, the master bedroom, they
get a lot of mold, a lot of smells, a
140
:lot of issues coming from that side of
the house, and I went, "You know what?
141
:It's coming from the chapel.", so
that's one of the oldest jobs that I've
142
:had to do, and it took me a couple of
weeks to unpack all the information
143
:around that, because when you do
energy work, I don't skim the surface.
144
:I put on my Sherlock Holmes hat,
and I will do the detective work.
145
:And when I write people, their
written report, it's very detailed.
146
:Joshua: I think that I've heard of this
in other ways, especially inwardly.
147
:I have had people do Reiki.
148
:I don't know if you're ever familiar
with that, but in the United States,
149
:especially, I know it's really popular
where we have the energy that surrounds
150
:us and being able to be attuned to that.
151
:I almost feel like you do that in a
way that is outward bound, as opposed
152
:to inward bound and kind of looking
at what is happening around us.
153
:I almost feel like you have a little bit
of a historian sort of aspect to your job.
154
:Is that true?
155
:Anna: Oh, absolutely.
156
:It's an interesting way is that homes
have history, and what I find is that the
157
:emotional imprints in the home tell the
story of what has happened in the home.
158
:I hope it's okay to give an example.
159
:It's very relevant.
160
:Joshua: Absolutely.
161
:Anna: I've worked on a local home
here in Tasmania, very recently, and
162
:the lady pinpointed one particular
area that had bad smells in the
163
:room, it felt uncomfortable.
164
:She didn't like going in there.
165
:It was her family home that they'd
lived in for like 40 years, so when
166
:I looked at the floor plan, I went,
"Oh no, I need to leave that till
167
:last.", and how do I know that?
168
:It's because I'm very, very
energetically sensitive.
169
:As soon as I ask permission to tune into a
home or a property, the paranormal beings
170
:that are present, within that property,
they start coming my way, because when
171
:you tune into a property, you're doing
what I call creating an energy cord, so
172
:I'm doing that intentionally, and when
I finish the job, I always make sure
173
:that I am completely disconnected from
that property, so that the energy is
174
:all separate, so I worked around this
property, and I left that particular area
175
:within the center of the home till last.
176
:The time came to do that part of the
home, so I'm sitting there going, "There's
177
:something really, really unsettling."
178
:I started to suddenly get
brain fog and I felt unwell.
179
:My energy changed, so I knew
there was something there.
180
:Anyway, I did my dowsing, I identified
the emotional imprints, and as I'm
181
:sitting there, like I said initially,
I very much feel psychic energy, feel
182
:paranormal beings, but sometimes spirits,
when they want to communicate with
183
:you, you will see them, they will talk
to you, and as I'm just sitting here,
184
:just quietly doing my dowsing with my
pendulum, I heard in my ear, "Shhh.
185
:He won't find me here."
186
:Joshua: Oh boy.
187
:Anna: And I went, "Whoa!",
and I got all tingly.
188
:I felt a little bit sad, like I felt
emotions of sadness, grief, despair,
189
:sorrow, and I kept hearing it, and
as I'm hearing it, I'm putting my
190
:index finger to my mouth and I'm
repeating it and I'm going, "Ah.
191
:I need to check this house
for domestic violence.
192
:I need to check this house for alcoholism,
possibly substance abuse.", and this
193
:woman, it was a middle aged woman.
194
:I just got quick flashes
of what she looked like.
195
:What she looked like wasn't relevant.
196
:It was the fact that she was communicating
a need, and I kept hearing this, "Shh.
197
:He won't find me here."
198
:Now this little area, yeah, this room.
199
:The lady who employed me for the
job, specified that there was a
200
:doorway that had been sealed over.
201
:I was a little bit curious, and especially
where it was located in this home, I
202
:think, from what I unpacked with all the
emotional imprints in that area of the
203
:home, and then all the alcoholism imprints
that I found dotted through the house,
204
:that very possibly there'd been some
years of domestic violence where a woman
205
:had to find a place in the house to hide.
206
:Joshua: Hmm.
207
:That is interesting in itself because
that room, or that area might have that
208
:concentration of that energy too, so it's
almost like following the breadcrumbs
209
:and getting to where you need to be.
210
:I think it's really interesting, Anna,
that we all have this energy that we
211
:expel, and I was literally thinking
of the fact that it doesn't matter
212
:what it is, whether you're addicted to
pornography, whether you have domestic
213
:violence in your life that has happened.
214
:We all give off a certain aura, and
whether we are at the various stages
215
:of it, it has an energy signature
of itself, and I find that really
216
:fascinating because as I was even
looking at your website, to kind of
217
:pivot this conversation a bit, I noticed
that you give energy clearing sessions.
218
:Can you talk a little bit about how that
process works if a client would want to
219
:engage in that type of activity with you?
220
:Anna: Ah, so as I have explained
earlier, wherever we sit, lay,
221
:sleep, sort of anything that
we touch, we leave an imprint.
222
:I'll use resentment as an example again.
223
:If you're really resentful about a
situation at work or a person, where
224
:are you creating that resentment?
225
:in your mind?
226
:In your body?
227
:Within your brain?
228
:Your governing meridian line, which is a
system of energy lines that runs through
229
:the body; in your crown chakra, which is
on top of the head, the brow chakra, so
230
:all that thinking about resenting someone
creates these buildups of energetic
231
:imprints within people, and they have
done; I don't like using the word exorcism
232
:because it creates certain images and
emotions and visuals for people, but you'd
233
:be surprised how many people if they carry
more than- this is just a general number,
234
:about eight to ten demonic level beings,
which is just a dense energy being.
235
:They just carry a very dense vibration.
236
:They love things like hatred,
resentment, rage, anger, hostility,
237
:all the really heavy, heavy emotions;
fear, paranoia, things like that.
238
:They can actually enter people's energy
fields through tears in the energy
239
:field, through courting to other people.
240
:Now, when I do my podcast, it's all about
educating people in a non fear based way.
241
:I don't do the paranormal drama and
the jump scares and all that rubbish.
242
:That's horror.
243
:That's Hollywood.
244
:I educate people about the
possibility that they may have
245
:paranormal beings within themselves.
246
:Now, one thing I really want
to stipulate is the devil can
247
:never make you do anything.
248
:What these paranormal beings
do, they're very, very clever.
249
:They enhance what is already there, so
that they're able to read our energy, so
250
:if you're someone that has mental health
issues, and you're using marijuana,
251
:or you're taking some other sort of
recreational drug to mask that, or
252
:you're drinking a lot because you've got
mental health issues, and you haven't
253
:been to a counselor, haven't dealt with
it, you're building up these emotional
254
:imprints within yourself because of
your mental health issue, plus you're
255
:adding whatever addiction, whether it
be the alcoholism or the drugs on top,
256
:they're all lower vibrational activities.
257
:Anything like hoarding, excessive
gambling, excessive drinking.
258
:I don't mean a wine with your
dinner, but you're talking a
259
:bottle of scotch every night type.
260
:If you're using those activities as
a crutch to help you, like a Band
261
:Aid, to get through some sort of
emotional trauma, then they are going
262
:to attract paranormal beings into
your physical body, organs, chakras,
263
:meridian lines, or your energy field.
264
:Joshua: So, in a way, when I hear this,
it's almost like when we have mental
265
:health struggles, especially after the
COVID pandemic that has affected the
266
:world, especially here in the United
States, there's been quite of awareness
267
:about needing more assistance, needing
more help, putting thousands of millions
268
:of billions of dollars into helping
others to kind of get to that other side.
269
:Would you say, in a way, that if we're
able to work on our energies, meaning,
270
:the ways in which we project ourselves,
that might be leading ourselves into
271
:a more healthy lifestyle, might help
change the energy flow inside our bodies?
272
:Is that what you're saying?
273
:Anna: Absolutely, and I am proof
that this works, because I'm a big
274
:resentment creator, and this is
why I use resentment as an example.
275
:If someone annoys me, I'm
going to ruminate about it.
276
:When I'm eating, when I'm sleeping,
when I'm thinking, when I'm in the
277
:shower, I'm thinking about how much this
person annoyed me, and I know that if I
278
:think about the negative side of what's
something that's happened to someone
279
:and create resentment for a long period,
which is maybe two, three, four, five, six
280
:days or longer, I draw these paranormal
beings in, because they love resentment.
281
:They love whatever your trigger is, so
for me I've learnt, they're very great
282
:teachers, they teach us what we need
to work on within ourselves, but the
283
:thing is, you have to want to do it.
284
:Just because I've identified that I
create resentment, I might not want to
285
:work on that, so therefore, I'm just
going to keep attracting paranormal
286
:beings, and resentment can turn to hate.
287
:It can turn to, oh, you know,
all sorts of anger and hostility
288
:and rage towards someone.
289
:You don't want to go there, so if these
beings identify through the energetic
290
:imprint clearings that I do for people,
I always give people very detailed
291
:reports, so they'll see what their
triggers are, and I outline the period
292
:of time when it was created and I'll say,
"Look, what happened to you six months
293
:ago, because most of these imprints
are coming from that timeframe.", and
294
:they'll go, "Oh, I lost my job, or my dad
died, or my partner walked out on me."
295
:Therefore, that person is still in grief.
296
:They're still struggling.
297
:They need to see a
mental health counselor.
298
:Joshua: I can't tell you how
important it is to hear that.
299
:It's not just what we do as coaches that
we also need to recognize the importance
300
:of seeking professional help, and in the
United States, I have preached this so
301
:much about the importance of being able
to reach a medical doctor, a therapist, a
302
:psychiatrist, things of that nature, and
even people that I've known have given
303
:off this aura of energy that, "Yeah.
304
:I can feel something deep inside
of them that I know that they're
305
:able to unlock and within them."
306
:I call it the best versions of
themselves, which my listeners have
307
:heard repeatedly and they probably
want to say, "Stop saying that Josh.
308
:I know it's about being the best
version of yourself", but I think
309
:it's so important to hear that,
because it's a two part process.
310
:It's not only getting some strategies and
coping with helping with a therapist or
311
:somebody as a professional, but working
with a coach helps to also put those
312
:things into practical aspects of our
lives so that we can continuously practice
313
:building off the foundations of what
professional help provides, so I love
314
:hearing that because I think they do go
hand in hand and hearing that from you and
315
:what you do with that is something that
I don't think I've ever heard of other
316
:coaches do, which is really going back,
feeling what the energy is, being able to
317
:do an assessment, and kind of pull some
of those things to the surface because
318
:sometimes we bury those things too.
319
:I want to talk about
your book that you wrote.
320
:You wrote the book, Your Psychic Self:
How To Walk A Psychic Path And Own It.
321
:I was wondering, what was some of
the motivation of writing the book?
322
:Obviously it's because of your work,
but why put it down in writing, because
323
:I have always found fascinating with
authors that I've had on the show
324
:about what they do with writing it,
but there's always a motivation, an
325
:intrinsic value of writing it down
personally, so I'd love to hear that.
326
:I'm sure my listeners would too.
327
:Anna: Ah.
328
:I am very much about motivating
people to help themselves,
329
:so, just a tiny example here.
330
:When I was a card reader, or I used
to do neurology or palmistry, people
331
:would give their power away and they're
like, "I want you to solve my problem
332
:for me.", and I would be like, "Okay,
I'll help you with this reading,
333
:but there's going to be questions.
334
:There's going to be homework.
335
:There's always homework", so
working on your psychic abilities
336
:is about recognizing your skills,
so I'm a feeler first, so I
337
:understand that I'm class sentient.
338
:I feel the energy, so what are some
of the strategies that I can use to
339
:practice developing those skills, so
your psychic self is all about a six
340
:week program that people can use to help
themselves get their psychic abilities
341
:happening, because we all have the
skills, but a lot of people don't utilize
342
:it, or they're too scared to utilize
it, or they're frightened because they
343
:think it's going to attract the devil,
which I've heard before, which is utter
344
:rubbish, but we won't go down that path,
but it's about owning it and going, you
345
:know what, I've always felt different.
346
:I know I can do this.
347
:It's about being accountable and putting
yourself out there to have a go, so
348
:I used to do a lot of life coaching.
349
:I'm more now about the paranormal house
clearing is that I will still say to
350
:people, "There are things in your home
that need addressing that have been
351
:there since you and your family have
moved in", and they'll go, "Oh yes.
352
:I know, but no one wants to deal with
it.", and I'll say to them, "If it's not
353
:dealt with, the buildups are going to
occur again of those emotional imprints,
354
:and what's that going to attract?",
and they'll just look at me in fear
355
:and I said, "The paranormal beings
are just going to come back", because
356
:paranormal beings are energy feeders.
357
:You take away their food source, which
is what I do when I go into the home,
358
:so I clean it, clear it, cleanse it.
359
:They just go elsewhere.
360
:I just release them from the home
back out into the environment.
361
:Now I wrote a second book.
362
:Can I talk about that too?
363
:Joshua: Yeah, I thought you
had written a second book, so
364
:yes, please share it with us.
365
:Anna: This is at the
other end of the scale.
366
:Everyone wants to talk about
psychic abilities: working with
367
:angels, archangels, and so forth.
368
:That's all happy, lovely, fluffy stuff.
369
:I'm all about the hardcore,
challenging people's perspectives.
370
:This is why I talk about the dark
and the demonic beings, in a non-fear
371
:based way, because simply, like I
just said, they're energy feeders.
372
:When you understand what attracts them,
this is why I wrote the second book.
373
:It's six sections, and
mind you, I'm not a writer.
374
:I have no training in writing,
no uni degrees, nothing.
375
:I was simply badgered by my spirit
guides until I put this information
376
:out there for people, so my second
book is called The Darkness Around Us,
377
:and I call it a paranormal handbook,
so all the information within this
378
:book is about what I've learned
through my 30 years plus journey of
379
:working with dark and demonic beings.
380
:The first section is all about I identify
different types of paranormal beings.
381
:I do include spirits as a reference,
but I don't really talk about them
382
:because they're more human soul energy
that has left the physical body.
383
:I'm talking about your dark energy beings
that have never been in human form, so
384
:the first section is the definition.
385
:The second section is all about
different signs and symptoms that
386
:you may feel that aren't medical.
387
:All mental health issues, I always
stipulate that, like you said earlier, I
388
:look at energy workers third on the list.
389
:It's medical first, mental health
second, energetic third, so if the
390
:first two don't solve your problem,
most likely your issue is maybe 100
391
:percent, or partially energetic.
392
:We're holistic beings.
393
:We need all those three approaches,
so the second section outlines
394
:many, many, many signs and symptoms.
395
:Section three is all about how these
beings attach to you, so I give away
396
:all this sneaky tricks and tactics
that I've learned, that I've felt
397
:that my customers and my clients
have experienced over the years.
398
:Now, the fourth section is I give people
some simple methods they can use to
399
:cleanse their home of low level dark
energy beings and some spirit energies,
400
:but when you've got demonic level beings
in your home, they're there for the
401
:really high level action and activities
that people have got; that they've
402
:gone about in their home, so you really
need someone like me to come in, do the
403
:energetic work, do the detective work.
404
:A lot of people- now I might
get some eye roll on here.
405
:A lot of people use sage and
drumming and crystals and going
406
:around their house banging a drum.
407
:Joshua: Yes.
408
:Anna: Those activities are for raising
the vibration of your home once the
409
:paranormal beings are removed, because
if you've got an imprint of hatred in
410
:a room, say someone died in their room,
and they hated that person and there
411
:was some sort of issues going on and
the whole house was filled with hatred,
412
:going around saving and banging a
drum is not going to shift the hatred.
413
:It has to be identified: the time
periods, how many paranormal beings
414
:are present, why they're there, what
else they're attached to in the home.
415
:It's never simple and there's never
one, so my book is a handbook, it is
416
:really, really interesting, and anyone
who wants to understand the paranormal
417
:world from a really non fear based
way, it's just an educational booklet.
418
:Joshua: I will put both of those books
in the episode notes in case anybody
419
:wants to check them out, and even
for my listeners here in the United
420
:States, it is available on Amazon
so you can order it through there.
421
:Anna, I just want to quickly
cover the fact that you're
422
:also a fellow podcast host.
423
:You actually have your own podcast
called the Perfectly Paranormal Podcast.
424
:I was wondering if you just want
to briefly touch upon what you talk
425
:about on your show, because I imagine
that you have over three decades
426
:worth of experience that you talk
about being as part of that show.
427
:Anna: Yeah, yeah.
428
:The podcast is an extension of the
YouTube channel that I started, the
429
:books, the website, it's connected to my
work, and what I find is that when you
430
:share real life paranormal experiences
with people, they can go, "Wow.
431
:I relate to that.", and then
they'll contact me and go, "Look,
432
:there's something in my house.
433
:We keep cleaning it.
434
:We keep saging it.
435
:We have drumming sessions, meditation and
so forth, and it's just not fixing it.
436
:There is something that
makes me feel unwell.
437
:I can't sleep.", so the podcast
is about educating people through
438
:sharing the stories, things that I've
experienced, and whenever I share
439
:a client story, I always change the
name, the location and the gender,
440
:so nobody knows who is what, because
it's purely about educating people.
441
:Now, there's not a lot of podcasts
that talk paranormal the way I do,
442
:so I don't have a huge following.
443
:It's really interesting.
444
:When you make it real, they
don't want to know about it.
445
:If it's scary and spooky, and you're
wandering around an old building,
446
:screaming, and things are being thrown
at you, people want paranormal drama.
447
:I don't do that.
448
:I deliver it in a real way
that makes it relatable.
449
:Joshua: As I always say here on Speaking
From The Heart, I'm always about having
450
:authentic conversations with people from
all various backgrounds, and I always
451
:appreciate the different viewpoints that
I hear on this show, because I think
452
:that we all live in different lenses
of what we view, and I think we all
453
:have something to learn from that, so
I think it's really interesting that
454
:you'd have a unique take to it, and I do
encourage my listeners to check out the
455
:Perfectly Paranormal podcast for that
reason alone, because it isn't like how
456
:Hollywood does it with all the scary
movies that they do here and I think that
457
:it doesn't have the right authenticity
as it comes to really showcasing what
458
:is really out there in the world.
459
:Anna, we're almost near the end
of our time, but I have one final
460
:question for you, which is really
about your experience, because you've
461
:been doing this for a very long time.
462
:As a matter of fact, you've been
doing coaching for a very long
463
:time, much more than I've been.
464
:I've been only open for a little
over a year, and I don't even hold
465
:a candle to what you do whatsoever,
which I find very fascinating because
466
:we all come at different angles.
467
:Could you share, what is one thing
that you have learned in your
468
:work that has changed you and
has made you who you are today?
469
:In other words, is there a unique
experience that you've had that has
470
:impacted you and has made you a better
person, maybe even a better coach, maybe
471
:even a better business owner as a whole?
472
:Anna: That's a tricky one, but I think
is that I've always been different.
473
:Even as a child, i've always had
different perspective, always seen
474
:things from a different angle,
and I've always stuck with that.
475
:I've never let myself be swayed
by society or mainstream thinking.
476
:I've always authentically shared
my experiences, my clients
477
:experiences, and I think this is
now why that I am busy every day.
478
:I work seven days a week with my
house clearing business and my
479
:personal clearing business, because
people are just starting to get the
480
:message and they like my genuineness.
481
:They like the fact that
there's no bells or whistles.
482
:I had someone actually told me that
I didn't look like I worked with the
483
:paranormal because I don't wear black.
484
:I don't wear black makeup.
485
:My picture on everything is this
really lovely sort of pink and
486
:purple background and me sitting
there in a white top, smiling.
487
:I mean, this is me.
488
:This is who I am.
489
:I'm not going to change the way I
look and what I talk about to suit
490
:what mainstream people think; the
paranormal should be about, so I've
491
:always been a bit of a rebel even at 55.
492
:I'm still doing it.
493
:Joshua: Well at 37 now I'm really a rebel
then if that's the case because I keep
494
:on plowing ahead and keep on challenging
the status quo, so kudos to you.
495
:I'm glad that we have two
rebels here doing that.
496
:Woo-hoo!
497
:Anna I want to say thank you
so much for being on the show.
498
:How can people reach out to you
if they have any further questions
499
:about what you shared today?
500
:How can they access the podcast?
501
:If they are interested in having
an energy clearing session with you
502
:or even having a house clearing?
503
:How can they get in touch with you?
504
:I'll give you these last
few moments to share that.
505
:Anna: Sure.
506
:If anyone's interested in a
paranormal house clearing, or an
507
:energy clearing, or just have a
conversation about the paranormal,
508
:share their stories on my podcast.
509
:You can contact me through my website,
which is spiritual-being.com.au.
510
:You'll need to put the description
somewhere because I have a hyphen
511
:in the name, which is probably a bad
move, but it's what I went with, or
512
:you can contact me through my email,
which is spiritualbeing44@gmail.com.
513
:Joshua: Awesome, and I think that it
is a unique name and I actually like it
514
:with the hyphen, so I'm glad you didn't
decide to remove it and be like everybody
515
:else, so thank you for doing that, and
I will have all of that in the episode
516
:notes, including the books that we talked
about earlier, and also a link to your
517
:podcast as well, but Anna, I have to
say, this is probably one of the more
518
:unusual episodes in which I have had
the privilege of talking to someone,
519
:not only internationally, but also does
house clearing of the energies that
520
:surround us, but with that unusualness
becomes a special gift that I think that
521
:we all get to have, which is to be self
aware about what we put out there in
522
:the world when it comes to our energy,
the way in which we focus, the ways in
523
:which we can create that best version of
ourselves, which I always preach to my
524
:clients and even preach to my listeners
here, but for all those reasons, and for
525
:everything that you do in this world,
even in Tasmania, Australia, Anna, thanks
526
:for being on Speaking From The Heart.
527
:It was really an honor to hear you today,
and maybe I might book you for a house
528
:clearing at some point in the future.
529
:Anna: Thanks, Joshua.
530
:It's been great speaking with you today.
531
:Joshua: I want to thank Anna again for
being part of the show and being yet
532
:another international guest that we've
been able to feature, and I always say
533
:that we always learn a lot of different
things from our international guests,
534
:especially when it comes to improving
ourselves, not only in the outside world,
535
:but also with what we exhibit as different
types of energy, and I think that we have
536
:to understand that the aura that we leave
has an impression in itself that we leave
537
:on others, but I also have to really
speculate, especially after conducting
538
:this interview, about the importance of
knowing all the facts before you start
539
:to make its own conclusions, because
paranormal or not, there are beings that
540
:are all around us that we have to pay
attention to that all have different types
541
:of energy levels that we interact with.
542
:Whether it's on a high scale, a low
scale, or something that falls in between
543
:both high and low, we have to be able
to understand that governing median
544
:line that Anna talked about, which is
really the question of where does your
545
:energy actually build up inside of you?
546
:I know for me personally, it builds up
in my chest, and it often accumulates
547
:into this big ball of concentrated energy
that usually is very explosive in nature.
548
:It doesn't really have a purpose, and
it doesn't really do much of anything,
549
:so that's why I've been intentionally
working on, since I've been able to
550
:talk to Anna, about using my energy
in such a positive, conductive way,
551
:and I know that's not really easy to
do, and I easily fall flat on my face
552
:every time that I try to perform this
exercise, but when you think about it,
553
:and you think about the fact that all
of us have different patterns that we
554
:have gotten used to over the years, we
often find change to be very difficult.
555
:Sound familiar?
556
:It's not anything different from what
we've talked about when it comes to
557
:personal and professional development on
this show, let alone the different things
558
:that we have to create as opportunities,
but yet, when we talk about energy and
559
:utilizing what we want to have as that
projection, sometimes we might come out
560
:too forceful, and we might come out too
sincere, while at the same time, we might
561
:be too quiet, but also too insincere about
what our intentions are for using that
562
:energy, so we really attract who we want.
563
:Look at what we exude every
time we go out to the grocery
564
:store; pick out a few items.
565
:Even if it is just to pick up a pizza,
pick up fast food, pick up anything,
566
:our dry cleaning, our mail; anything
that you do on a daily basis exudes some
567
:sort of energy, but not the physical
energy that you often think about.
568
:Now, if I had another fitness expert on
the show, we would easily dive into the
569
:conversation of energy, calories, how
that expands and burns into metabolism,
570
:how that creates that metabolism then
to work our bodies, be able to then do
571
:what we need to do, but I think this
is a different type of energy all along
572
:that we should be considering and talking
about, which leads into the age old
573
:question: Do you want to own up to what
you're portraying in this world, or do
574
:you not, and I think that's why it's so
interesting to talk about the paranormal,
575
:because a lot of those spirits, a lot of
those mediums, that we often talk about
576
:in our own lives, lie dormant in a lot of
different possibilities and personalities,
577
:that oftentimes are not listened to.
578
:They're not taken care of.
579
:They're not even considered as part
of the overall conversation, and I
580
:think that we have to deal with those
difficult aspects, as Anna was even
581
:mentioning in this show, which relates
to the darkness that is around us.
582
:We have to focus on not just the mental
and the physical, not just the medical
583
:aspects of it too, because we need to
take care of ourselves, but that mental
584
:energy as well, and she said it in a
specific order that I think is worth
585
:repeating: the medical, the mental,
and the energy, all in that order.
586
:We need to be able to take care of what
is really necessary in that format, but
587
:don't be swayed by the mainstream media
and all those bells and whistles that we
588
:see, especially all those television shows
and all those horror projections that we
589
:often watch, because it isn't all about
the bells and whistles and the screams.
590
:Usually those that are suffering the most
exude different types of energy levels
591
:for a variety of different reasons.
592
:It often reminds me of when I was a
child growing up, and I always wondered
593
:why I was so loud, and why I could
not contain myself in my excitement
594
:about a number of different things.
595
:It wasn't just that normal childhood
curiosity of maybe getting a gift at
596
:Christmas, let alone the different
things that we often receive as
597
:gifts throughout our lives, whether
it's for a celebration, it's for a
598
:birthday, or other sort of occasion.
599
:There was always something a little
bit different about the way in which
600
:my energy exuded towards others.
601
:Some people liked it, while a lot
of people didn't like it, and I
602
:often struggled why they didn't
like it, and I never really got good
603
:answers as to why my aura Was not
leaving a good impression on others.
604
:Then it finally clicked within the last
year, which I've shared with all of you
605
:about my autism diagnosis, and how that
has radically shifted my perspective of
606
:the variety of different things that I am
going through in my life to now realize
607
:my true potential, and being able to give
others that quality experience, especially
608
:in the coaching realm, whether it's for
personal or professional development, but
609
:I now understand why I'm attracted so much
to public speaking, because that allows
610
:for unlimited amount of energy to be shown
in a wide variety of creative formats,
611
:but we need to find that median line that
governs us, not just with what energy we
612
:build up inside of ourselves, but also
how we utilize it in our daily life.
613
:I wouldn't want to scream at somebody
over the counter because they are helping
614
:me to check out at the grocery store,
or even to pay for my gas if I go to
615
:the counter, instead of using one of
those electronic contraptions that are
616
:now attached to gasoline pumps nowadays.
617
:I don't want to be one of those
people that just continuously
618
:screams about every single little
thing that has gone right, wrong, or
619
:indifferent, or upside down in my life.
620
:I don't want this to be an exercise
of just sharing my energy over and
621
:over again in such a negative way,
but at the same time, I don't want
622
:to be the quietest voice in the room,
always trying to respect and appreciate
623
:what other people are trying to say,
because there's something more to our
624
:energy level, then what meets the eye?
625
:I don't know if you have somebody in your
life that you've been neglecting, and you
626
:might not even realized it, and you might
have people in your life too, that you're
627
:trying to figure out why is it that it's
so difficult to have a conversation with.
628
:We all share different types of energies,
and what we attract as those patterns in
629
:our lives, oftentimes is because of the
different things that we have going on.
630
:I am asking you to be a little bit more
intentional as you move forward in your
631
:life when it comes to not only the things
that you share, but the things that
632
:you share as experiences with others.
633
:Even the things that you think you
are deserving and gratified to have in
634
:your life should not be something that
is easily handed to you as a present,
635
:just like a kid on Christmas Day.
636
:It's not about just receiving gifts,
but about giving the gifts so that you
637
:feel not only part of that celebration,
but that other people feel the same
638
:way because they will carry that
energy that is often forgotten about,
639
:especially if you're not paying attention
to what they have been providing
640
:to you as a source of inspiration,
encouragement and opportunity as well.
641
:I don't know if you know all the
history about why somebody might be
642
:reacting a certain way, so take pause.
643
:Think about what you might be
saying to someone else, and see what
644
:kind of energy they are exuding.
645
:Maybe just paying attention a little bit
more can help them get through their day,
646
:and you might be a helpful influence for
those people that might need to have that
647
:listening ear from you, because remember,
do you want to attract the people that you
648
:want in a positive way, or a negative way?
649
:How do you want to portray yourself?

:I don't want to be forgotten, long
after, haunting some house, or haunting
651
:other people's lives, thinking that I
deserved something when I was in the
652
:real world, and I don't think that you
want to have the same thing happen to
653
:you, so be a little bit more intentional.
654
:Think about the things that you might be
doing, because it can help you, not just
655
:in the professional sense, but in the
personal sense as well, giving the person
656
:that you have not been appreciating that
respect, that joy, that encouragement,
657
:can make such a big difference.
658
:I know I've learned a lot from Anna's
experiences that will help me in creating
659
:that best value, whether that is for
myself, or for the clients that I meet,
660
:but I certainly don't want to be haunted
by their spirits in the afterlife if
661
:I didn't treat them the right way, and
it gives me great pause to think about
662
:the fact that we have these medical,
mental, and energy levels that we all
663
:need to respect, so if we're able to do
that, and if we're able to escape from
664
:the mainstream bells and whistles, and
we've learned a little bit more about
665
:the background of why things happen the
way they do, I think then you won't be
666
:haunted by your own energy levels, let
alone other people of Christmas past, or
667
:even other sort of holiday past for that
matter, because you will then have that
668
:aura that everybody will want to have.
669
:Everybody will want to be on your side,
and maybe learn a little bit about
670
:you too, because if you set the right
energy level, you will be respected.
671
:You will enjoy what is around you.
672
:You will attract who you want, and
more importantly, you'll be the
673
:best person in the world to have
the relationships, confidence, and
674
:determination, to increase your
visibility in this ever changing world.
675
