“Spirit’s always in charge… Life is just the lily pads to getting to where we’re going to go anyway,” says Dawn Paula, evidential medium and energy healer who joins Mental Health in a Modern World to unravel the mysteries of intuition, near-death experiences, and the deep connection between the physical and spiritual realms. Having encountered profound paranormal experiences since childhood and survived a life-changing near-death event in high school, Dawn Paula has spent her life seeking out others who share these boundary-expanding encounters—and now helps clients explore their own intuitive and psychic abilities.
In this immersive, hope-filled episode, Dawn Paula reveals how “the spirit world isn’t out there—it’s right here,” sharing her journey from sports medicine into massage therapy, Reiki, and ultimately, mediumship. She explains why modern society dampens our innate sensitivity, how children’s energetic gifts are shaped (and often shut down) by trauma and cultural programming, and how the rise of technology is altering our consciousness and frequency. She and Greg also dive into the purpose of soul contracts, the nuances of free will, and why embracing both the dark and the light is essential to the human experience.
Tune into Mental Health in a Modern World for an unforgettable conversation on spiritual awakening, evidential mediumship, and how to reclaim your sovereignty—and your joy—on this wild, multidimensional path.
Unlock your intuitive potential and embrace your spiritual path with these actionable steps:
Take one step today to trust yourself more and live with greater presence!
"I believe that we are really spiritual beings having this earthly human experience. As children, we're open, we're just naturally intuitive, and then society starts to desensitize us from that knowingness."
"Our intuition is one of the hardest and greatest things that we can do in being connected to source and spirit. I think that's what really desensitizes children—teaching them to go against the grain and not to trust themselves."
"The gift is being in the human body and being able to experience it all, knowing that it's not the end all, be all."

Embark on The HTM Journey
Embark on The HTM Journey
When I was in high school, I actually had a really intense near death experience.
Speaker:I don't talk about it a lot and it's really interesting and I. That could
Speaker:take us on another tangent, but I definitely feel like for
Speaker:whatever reason, after that experience I
Speaker:had almost sought out people that had some sort
Speaker:of experience like that. And we
Speaker:called it the NDE Club. And anybody that I knew and we would discuss
Speaker:it was really interesting because I feel like I got really
Speaker:into walk ins, soul walk ins.
Speaker:And I don't know if that was something that I experienced. I don't believe
Speaker:that I did, but it piqued my interest there. In a world moving faster than
Speaker:our minds were designed to handle, mental health is becoming one of the defining
Speaker:challenges of our time. Welcome to Mental Health in a Modern World
Speaker:with holistic health practitioner Greg Schmauss. After
Speaker:overcoming severe anxiety and OCD and his own life,
Speaker:Greg dedicated the past decade to helping others heal through a fully
Speaker:integrated approach to mental health, combining lifestyle coaching,
Speaker:psycho emotional healing, mindfulness and archetypal work.
Speaker:Over the years, he's facilitated thousands of sessions guiding people back to
Speaker:peace, clarity, and a deeper connection with themselves.
Speaker:Each week, Greg shares powerful solo insights, conversations with
Speaker:leading voices in holistic healing, and immersive live coaching sessions that take
Speaker:you into inside the healing process itself. New episodes every
Speaker:Friday follow the show and start reclaiming sovereignty over your mind
Speaker:in a modern world. Here's Greg.
Speaker:Dawn, welcome to the podcast. Aw, thank you. Thank you for having me.
Speaker:I'm super excited to be here. Yeah, I would love to start with
Speaker:just a little background about your work,
Speaker:maybe how you got into it. I'm always curious about people in
Speaker:the field of healing, of spirituality, of holistic
Speaker:health and their personal journeys. There's always an
Speaker:interesting journey and background and backstory that brings
Speaker:people into this work. So I'd love to just start there.
Speaker:Yeah, that's a. That's a great opener
Speaker:and it's a bit of a long winded one, but I'll do the best I
Speaker:can to keep it as concise as possible while still making
Speaker:sense. As a child, I always just
Speaker:gravitated, I'll say it that way. I always gravitated towards
Speaker:things that were of the metaphysical world. We'll say
Speaker:it just made sense to me. So I just kind of always
Speaker:thought people, everybody was like that. Everybody
Speaker:had, you know, heightened intuition. And I do believe now that
Speaker:we all do, especially from birth into our younger
Speaker:years before, we're very desensitized by
Speaker:society and the earth plane for a matter of speaking
Speaker:that was kind of, you know, with the early age stuff, but went to college
Speaker:and I actually studied. Not a lot of people know this, but I actually got
Speaker:a degree in sports medicine. And I was really
Speaker:intrigued by science and the body, and I
Speaker:still am in a lot of ways. That led me to. After
Speaker:college, I took some time, I traveled and did
Speaker:some things, but I didn't really want to go to grad school
Speaker:just yet. I didn't know if I wanted to, I'll put it that way. And
Speaker:so I ended up going to massage therapy school
Speaker:and I figured I would work with athletes, you know, post injury and things
Speaker:like that, because I had had that background already with my education
Speaker:and going into the world of massage therapy. And I never thought I
Speaker:would be a massage therapist. If you had asked me years before that, I was
Speaker:definitely. There was no way. And when I stepped into that
Speaker:space as a supportive healer,
Speaker:I was. I loved it. I really did.
Speaker:I was so intrigued by the capability of the body
Speaker:in its way to heal with that type of modality.
Speaker:And it really meant a lot to me and I took a lot of pride
Speaker:in my work and I still to this day will say that. And I
Speaker:really developed, though, as a energy
Speaker:healer and that was one of my launching pads, if you
Speaker:will. So, you know, it's very interesting how the body that
Speaker:got me there and my curiosity and passion for it in a lot
Speaker:of ways then brought me to the
Speaker:connection of more or less the ethereal world. And
Speaker:while I was doing that, getting trained in Reiki and things like
Speaker:that, Reiki, I respect it wholeheartedly.
Speaker:But for me, there was something else that I kept feeling like
Speaker:I wanted to be outside of a. Anything
Speaker:compartmentalized, if you will. And
Speaker:I couldn't explain it, but I just went with it and then I just kept
Speaker:going. And I will say this, when I was in high school, I actually
Speaker:had a really intense near death experience. I don't talk about it a
Speaker:lot and it's really interesting and I. That could take us on another tangent.
Speaker:But I definitely feel like for whatever reason, after
Speaker:that experience, I had almost sought
Speaker:out people that had some sort of experience like that.
Speaker:And we called it the NDE Club. And
Speaker:anybody that I knew and we would discuss it was really interesting because
Speaker:I feel like I got really into Walk Ins.
Speaker:Soul Walk inside. And I don't know if that was something
Speaker:that I experienced. I don't believe that I did, but it piqued my interest
Speaker:there. So I almost need to like, I'm being Called to insert that here. And
Speaker:I feel that's important. It'll come up. But so back to
Speaker:technical and becoming a massage therapist and working as a healer,
Speaker:energy worker. And then, you know, my intuition
Speaker:and my psychic abilities were really growing. And
Speaker:then I had another life experience that brought me to
Speaker:a point where I decided that I really, I had what
Speaker:some would call a spiritual awakening. Although I don't know if we ever really awaken,
Speaker:you know, if it's just a cut and dry spiritual awakening. I feel like for
Speaker:some of us it's an ever evolving thing.
Speaker:But I started to really get more in depth and pursue
Speaker:my spiritual interests. What it meant things, things like that. And that
Speaker:really aligned beautifully with that psychic opening that
Speaker:I was also having. And one of I
Speaker:was channeling. And while I was doing healings and one of
Speaker:my incredibly profound experiences that led me directly
Speaker:to this type of mediumship that I practice now is I had
Speaker:somebody, I started to work with people that were regular
Speaker:clients of mine for massage. And I would just let them know, hey, you know,
Speaker:I'm opening up psychically. And if you're comfortable with it, I'll either bring you a
Speaker:channeled message or, you know, I would practice, do these exercises. But
Speaker:I didn't have professional development. I was just going with whatever
Speaker:called to me. And this woman who was on the massage
Speaker:table. Sure, sure, sure. And for the first time, I had a very
Speaker:clairvoyant visual of what I then found
Speaker:was her, her brother who had passed, and he had passed, you know, years
Speaker:beyond. And I described the scene to her and she just got really
Speaker:silent and she was like, oh, oh, okay. So that's my
Speaker:brother, he passed. And at the time, because I was
Speaker:undeveloped, I didn't know what to do
Speaker:with it. So I was as startled as she was
Speaker:and I almost left it flat. Like, I finished her session and I
Speaker:did some, some energy healing, but I didn't stay connected to him
Speaker:and I would have wanted to. And, and that actually brings me to another point.
Speaker:I also need to insert this. I have definitely had very,
Speaker:a good amount of paranormal experience throughout my life. Outside of
Speaker:me though, this, this was a very clairvoyant scenario that I
Speaker:was encountering. But before that, since child, I don't know,
Speaker:going walking on the land, seeing things, seeing, you know, lice
Speaker:where they're not supposed to be, seeing entities where there aren't any and things like
Speaker:that. So that just reminded me, because there's actually a
Speaker:kind of a funny story of how I got catapulted into developing
Speaker:into the work I do now, even just a handful of years
Speaker:back. But there was. I had another paranormal experience.
Speaker:And had I realized what it was, I probably would have intentionally
Speaker:stayed connected or wanted to stay connected at the time.
Speaker:I saw a little girl running around, and I thought she was actually somebody
Speaker:on property where I lived. And it turned out that it
Speaker:wasn't. So all these things just kind of wrap up into
Speaker:bringing me to, okay, I'm.
Speaker:It's not a need for a psych eval kind of scenario. It's more or less
Speaker:like I understood that this was being. There was a connection to consciousness,
Speaker:a connection to the other worlds that we
Speaker:exist in other energy planes. And
Speaker:so, yeah, so here I am. So that brought me to developing, though, and
Speaker:understanding evidential mediumship development because I also.
Speaker:I chose to develop my mediumship as an evidential
Speaker:medium because there's that scientific part of me or that
Speaker:curious part of me that really always wants more evidence
Speaker:or how do you know the prove it kind of
Speaker:thing where I can have acceptance.
Speaker:It's not about. It's not necessarily about prove it in the way of
Speaker:skepticism. It's more of like, what else is out
Speaker:there. It's just curiosity. And so now
Speaker:when I do my readings and when I'm connecting with people who are
Speaker:spirit side, I'm. I'm working and developing on
Speaker:really, how do I know. And how do you know that this is
Speaker:your person or your pet or what have you? So that's
Speaker:really why I chose or it brought me to evidential
Speaker:mediumship, where mediumship of guides, angels and things
Speaker:like that is beautiful. And it worked well and serves me well
Speaker:and others in channeling. But I still want to
Speaker:know. I still want to see them. That. Yeah. Yeah. Thank you so much
Speaker:for sharing that. And you know, it's funny because our. Our journeys are actually
Speaker:quite parallel in terms of starting out with the physical body
Speaker:and then working our way more to the energetic body.
Speaker:And for me, it was probably similar to you just following this breadcrumb
Speaker:trail of, okay, I'm starting as a personal trainer now
Speaker:I'm doing nutrition now I'm doing massage therapy now I'm doing
Speaker:energy work. And now things are opening up to other realms. And
Speaker:so it sounds like almost like the onion. There's layers
Speaker:that you peel back and you start with what's most familiar, comfortable.
Speaker:And then it starts to get more expansive. I'm curious,
Speaker:going back to childhood and you mentioned, I think all children
Speaker:have access to this or are open from the start. I'M
Speaker:curious, what are the things that close children
Speaker:down? What are the things that close us down? Is it religion, is it
Speaker:parental programming, is it trauma that then we have
Speaker:to heal to open ourselves back up? And my sense is it's probably
Speaker:designed that way. But I'm curious your
Speaker:thoughts on why children are open but then
Speaker:create that filter that closes them back down.
Speaker:Absolutely. And I will say I've done a lot of reading up on this.
Speaker:Right. And I feel, and I believe that
Speaker:it's a little bit of both of what you said. I do think
Speaker:that a lot of us are innately sensitive when we're born.
Speaker:We're really spiritual beings having this earthly human
Speaker:experience. And that really brings it into a nutshell, because
Speaker:in our bodies, because I've had people ask me, my child is really
Speaker:intuitive. They're already seeing, you know, can we develop them.
Speaker:And that's up for debate in the mediumship world. The reason
Speaker:why I say that is because I now
Speaker:see and understand that we need to have had
Speaker:certain Earth experiences
Speaker:to. It's why we're here.
Speaker:Right. And so having these experience, as
Speaker:in our very humanness, you know,
Speaker:sometimes I'm like, oh, I'm being. I'm like, so superhuman right now. And
Speaker:it. It's. I'm not like a superhuman. I'm so superhuman in
Speaker:these moments that I'm like, oh, you know, and you feel it. The
Speaker:ethereal world, spirit world, they all operate on a higher
Speaker:vibration, right. Frequency. And as a child, they
Speaker:often. Children just do. They just do naturally. Because the spirit's still getting used
Speaker:to the body. Right. And you mentioned about being a
Speaker:trainer, believe it or not. Side note, I was too, for a
Speaker:couple of years in there. It's like we all could go be
Speaker:bodybuilders, but are we going to. No, I
Speaker:don't. I don't want to do that. Right. But some people are
Speaker:more gravitated towards that. For children, I feel
Speaker:like their knowingness, and I would say don't discount their
Speaker:knowingness because I do believe that is certainly something that's
Speaker:true. I do feel that. And for some, there are a few that can
Speaker:go straight to working with the energies and mediumship and all of that. But I
Speaker:hope I'm answering your question. Well, but they're. They need to have that.
Speaker:They need to. And so to bypass that
Speaker:and just stick with the mediumship might.
Speaker:Unless they're, you know, one of these certain anomalies, and there are some of them
Speaker:out there, but it bypasses that human
Speaker:experience. And then we can get into a lot of stickiness as
Speaker:well. Trauma is one thing. I feel like for some, trauma
Speaker:is something that almost opens a doorway to more.
Speaker:If you seek it right as a source, it becomes the healing,
Speaker:becomes the journey, becomes the landing.
Speaker:But I feel like with children, they're all really.
Speaker:They're so amazing. Children are amazing. We're all amazing as children. But
Speaker:society. So to really go back to your question, society, whether
Speaker:it be religion, but I'll use this umbrella of society.
Speaker:It constricts all of that. Don't do it this way,
Speaker:behave this way. And you shouldn't be listening to your
Speaker:intuition. You shouldn't be doing that. You shouldn't. Don't do that.
Speaker:And I mean, I don't want to get again another route
Speaker:of another cup of coffee, but it's
Speaker:to trust. Our intuition is one of the
Speaker:hardest and greatest things that we can do in being
Speaker:connected to source and spirit. And
Speaker:I think that's the greater. I think that's the thing that really
Speaker:desensitizes children is teaching them that.
Speaker:To go against the grain for that. And
Speaker:I'm going to say what I'm going to say, but it's a form of control.
Speaker:Do we need some of that control and order? We need some of it on
Speaker:the earth plane? I'll say we do.
Speaker:But what it's put in too harsh of a place or implemented too
Speaker:strongly. Um, I mean, I work with so many people that are just kind of.
Speaker:They'll talk about it all the time. I. I was raised to not believe this
Speaker:or not think that. And if you go, I mean, if we could talk about
Speaker:religion, I mean, I'll be here all day. In the way of. I do believe
Speaker:the spiritual principles of a lot of religions was
Speaker:well intended. People get in the way. We just get in the way of a
Speaker:lot of things. But it's people being people in their ego that is
Speaker:a shield and aura for control. Yeah.
Speaker:Beautiful. I work with a lot of children and young
Speaker:adults. You know, my area of work has been very much a holistic
Speaker:approach to mental health and the show Mental Health in a Modern World.
Speaker:And I've had so many young people come to me with, quote,
Speaker:unquote, diagnoses of mental illness, whether it's anxiety
Speaker:or schizophrenia or OCD
Speaker:or, you know, all these diagnoses. And when I work with them,
Speaker:they're so intuitive, they're so tapped in. They have this
Speaker:energetic sensitivity. A lot of them have different voyances that
Speaker:are, you could say, untrained. And I'm curious
Speaker:if you've seen this over the last, I don't know, maybe
Speaker:10, 15 years of this wave of
Speaker:this young generation who are so tapped in, but
Speaker:they're being pathologized because they're
Speaker:expressing these symptoms that are being misinterpreted as,
Speaker:you know, mental illness. I'm curious what you have found to be
Speaker:true there. Yeah, great question, Great tap again.
Speaker:It's almost like the burning of the witches all over again in a modern
Speaker:way. Do I feel like, and I was just having this conversation with somebody
Speaker:over the weekend, I do feel that some of
Speaker:these things, the diagnoses are
Speaker:true. So it's a very fine line, you know, because
Speaker:we'll go back to witches and all of that.
Speaker:The healers, the women that, you know, and some men, but that were really
Speaker:sought after for their, their seers, you know, for that ability.
Speaker:And they maybe didn't have the technology that we have
Speaker:or, or what have you. But it's
Speaker:almost like were they experiencing schizophrenia,
Speaker:which is a real thing, I mean, it's a real diagnosis, it's a real
Speaker:ailment of the brain. Or were they a true
Speaker:seer and maybe it was coming erratically
Speaker:because their encounters were so intense that they didn't know what to do with it.
Speaker:So bringing us up to now and to your question, you know, and then
Speaker:what was it in the 90s? I think in the early 2000s, we had the
Speaker:indigo children and it was like these types of, you know, Starseed children now
Speaker:I think they're called. There's, you know, these ones that come down with or
Speaker:into incarnate with different vibrational frequencies
Speaker:and pathologizing some of
Speaker:it again is important because I've
Speaker:seen it and I've witnessed myself the discomfort
Speaker:of not understanding it. I think education
Speaker:from a spiritual perspective and the way that we can as lightworkers,
Speaker:what you do is amazing. And really having this
Speaker:ability to educate not just the children, but their
Speaker:parents and the people around them. So that maybe
Speaker:there's a balance, maybe it's finding their way. If they're over medicated, then that's
Speaker:going to just suppress and subdue any ability and any
Speaker:zest for life, in my opinion. But that's just my opinion. But
Speaker:it's almost like I do believe that they're here
Speaker:because they're offering a different. We're in a shift of different
Speaker:vibrational frequency. We. It's going to take years, but it's
Speaker:happening, it's been happening. And the generation,
Speaker:especially in these past two generations, say you know, I know my sons are in
Speaker:their. They're in their early 20s. Right. So even
Speaker:witnessing their generation of coming up and
Speaker:it's like all of a sudden they're a lot of
Speaker:them, they don't know. They're so technologically driven.
Speaker:The energy around them and abound
Speaker:through them is incredibly different. So is it the chicken or the
Speaker:egg? Sure. You know, does. Does that cause.
Speaker:Does that cause the ailment or does that
Speaker:prove their frequency innately?
Speaker:Right. So, yeah, I'd love to do more of a
Speaker:study and a deep dive on that, but I do feel like over
Speaker:pathologizing things does make some people more money.
Speaker:I said what I said, we can't deny the
Speaker:truth. So, I mean, so there's that, you know, so there's so many elements
Speaker:to it that I think it comes down to
Speaker:a real individual scenario. Yeah. Because I
Speaker:do believe that everything sets everything in motion anyway. I think that's part of why
Speaker:they're here. Yeah. One of the
Speaker:words you used was frequency. And
Speaker:something I'd love to explore is over the last few
Speaker:years, you know, my path more recently has been shamanism
Speaker:and really opening up to some of those realms. And as
Speaker:I've connected deeper with my own inner guidance
Speaker:system, what I have found to be true from my experience
Speaker:is that if we're connecting with spirit
Speaker:guides, ancestors, beings on the other side,
Speaker:so to speak, from what I've come to experience, we're
Speaker:really just moving into a vibrational state
Speaker:or a frequency that's in resonance with that
Speaker:dimension. And so a lot of times people think,
Speaker:oh, like the spirit world is out there, or in religion, like heaven is
Speaker:like up in the sky or it's like some other place. And
Speaker:like, what I have found to be true for myself is there's not
Speaker:another place that they go. It's just almost like a.
Speaker:It's like the radio has different stations that you tune to,
Speaker:and as you tune the frequency to a certain station, you pick
Speaker:up a different signal. And so all of that is
Speaker:actually happening right here. And so I would
Speaker:love for you to expand on that as someone that's been doing
Speaker:this work a lot longer than I have to build on that.
Speaker:Because you use that word frequency, which really I felt was significant.
Speaker:Yeah, definitely. I'm excited. I. I love that you're doing that
Speaker:too. Shamanism is something that always fascinates me too. Right. And this is
Speaker:consciousness. So I'm going to take us out of like just not just.
Speaker:But the mediumship mindset too, of connecting soul to soul. Because
Speaker:when I did my quantum healing hypnosis
Speaker:training last year, I was challenged and
Speaker:in some ways, and I'm going to circle back, you'll see where I'm going with
Speaker:this. But it was. I was so used to
Speaker:connecting soul to soul, soul to soul. And that really just
Speaker:takes something I already kind of knew and believed in, so to
Speaker:speak. But it opened it up for me and it was like,
Speaker:wait, we're all energy.
Speaker:I mean, it's all about consciousness. It doesn't matter. And that's why I
Speaker:chose to do the quantum one and not a past life regression one. Or
Speaker:because there's this multitude of energetic
Speaker:frequencies, vibrations, whatever you choose to use the word,
Speaker:it's existence, it's life, it's consciousness. So
Speaker:yeah, that's why so much can actually be existing, living at the
Speaker:same time. And you said this too, and I actually
Speaker:remember not too long ago, is connecting to someone's
Speaker:loved one on the other side. And I
Speaker:now try to use very consciously the spirit world. Because
Speaker:this person who was spirit said, there is
Speaker:no other side. I got schooled by this person. Spirit side, they were great. But
Speaker:they were like, there is no other side. Stop saying the other
Speaker:side. We're all right here. And I was like, oh,
Speaker:right. You know, it's almost slang. But the.
Speaker:When we pass to my experience, this is
Speaker:what I've been told by those spirit side.
Speaker:It's again, if we're spiritual beings having a human experience,
Speaker:so. So then we just drop the body
Speaker:off when we're done with it, or it can no longer serve us
Speaker:because it's incapable of doing that for whatever reason.
Speaker:And then we're still here, we're still operating
Speaker:that frequency of our. I want to say our spirit,
Speaker:right, is still very much in
Speaker:existence. It's like when we get out of a car, we park it where it's
Speaker:over there or maybe you trade it in and you get a new one. You're
Speaker:still the same person going into that new car.
Speaker:Right? So the same thing. It's almost like how I relate with the body.
Speaker:It's like it's just something you're going to put over there and
Speaker:then maybe get a new one or maybe not. And that brings us to reincarnation.
Speaker:But the frequency is really tuning into. Yes.
Speaker:Different radio stations, definitely.
Speaker:And when you think about it, Earth rocks.
Speaker:Something that might not be seen as having
Speaker:any sort of energy because it's in complete
Speaker:stillness, because it's
Speaker:the frequency of that. That's why people that work heavily with
Speaker:Crystals and things like that, they understand the frequency of certain minerals,
Speaker:crystals, energies, rocks, pieces of the earth
Speaker:again. So fascinating. But there's still
Speaker:consciousness there. It's just on
Speaker:what we can as science, like science shows us that if it
Speaker:operates at a low frequency, what does that do? It
Speaker:creates mass and matter. That's
Speaker:what happens. So, and then. So that's where
Speaker:we slow down to come in, to be
Speaker:incarnated, to slow down in our bodies. Right.
Speaker:And then we can go, you know, we're operating that really fast
Speaker:again. So when we do, maybe when you do some shamanistic work or when
Speaker:I'm connecting as a medium, it's
Speaker:bringing that. Attuning myself to that
Speaker:frequency, that spirits already, that's where they
Speaker:are. Yeah. Right. So there it's the personal
Speaker:WI fi. Right. That's. That's a new fun term for it.
Speaker:Yeah. You know, two things that were coming up for me is, number one,
Speaker:I was thinking back to how both of our journeys was started
Speaker:with the physical body. And what was coming up for,
Speaker:for me is that I find the
Speaker:healthier the body is, the
Speaker:higher frequency you can hold within it.
Speaker:And so when the body gets less and less healthy,
Speaker:our vibration drops along with it. And so I'm
Speaker:wondering if some of like, like energy healers and a lot
Speaker:of people that are like in our line of work,
Speaker:if one of the intentions of starting with the physical body is one
Speaker:to ground, but then also to realize that the body
Speaker:is also the antenna and that
Speaker:the healthier the body, the greater access we have. I'm curious your
Speaker:thoughts on that. Yeah, I love that. So
Speaker:it's. And I'm going to go back to science a little bit right here because
Speaker:we're still. We're also a universe.
Speaker:So when you think about it, that the
Speaker:healthier the body because the less
Speaker:composition of the cells, anything that's being held onto,
Speaker:it's nothing sticking the food you take in, maybe
Speaker:the environment you choose to surround yourself in or the. So let's go to
Speaker:exercise. Right. We can both understand that too. Having worked in that
Speaker:world for a minute. It's the exercise. And this for
Speaker:me, I chose to do this when I was first opening as well, a lot
Speaker:of exercise to understand that
Speaker:it would help my vibration physically. So it's really just going
Speaker:back to vibration. Some people need the
Speaker:ability to be so light that the vibration can charge quickly.
Speaker:But there are some people that don't need that
Speaker:because the essence of the
Speaker:vibration really comes from within. Yeah. So while it helps us
Speaker:feel better and we can sustain. It can give more endurance,
Speaker:perhaps. I know that I will
Speaker:intentionally. And then I did this when I was working as massage therapist
Speaker:as well. But now it's, it's really important. Even more so.
Speaker:How and when I choose to eat around my sessions is really
Speaker:important because food grounds me, because it gives the things
Speaker:in my body something to do. And because energy work also,
Speaker:believe it or not, it like creates a caloric recharge.
Speaker:And so it's. It's like, oh, you start to feel like I'm being depleted. But
Speaker:I didn't even move. I was sitting here the whole time or maybe just standing
Speaker:still. If it's an event and it's. Well, I would eat after
Speaker:to bring me back into my body.
Speaker:That's all. That's all. So I will not eat a big meal
Speaker:before I do readings or an event especially because all
Speaker:that energy. But I'll be sure to have
Speaker:something after to almost reminding me
Speaker:that's what it is. It's like reminding me that, oh, this body I
Speaker:need because. But I would love to hear from you because I understand
Speaker:even in shamanism, I mean, there's something about the fasting journey
Speaker:going back to when you're on the precipice and we're going to
Speaker:talk a little bit about maybe the precipice of near
Speaker:death or death right. Right before it. Not at the point
Speaker:where the body starts to literally completely
Speaker:decide to stop working. But it's. If you're having literally
Speaker:near death, maybe it's from starvation you start to see and
Speaker:you start to get so close to the spirit world. That's why if
Speaker:you work with people or if you've ever been around somebody who's maybe
Speaker:on hospice or maybe ill and they're starting to. And they're like, oh,
Speaker:Aunt Jenny's here and I'm seeing this person and people ask me,
Speaker:are they really being visited? And I say, well, the people they're being now, they're
Speaker:coming close to the people that are going to be there to receive them. Because
Speaker:they don't talk about the people that are in the room physically, people that are
Speaker:near death. They're going to talk about the people that are spirit side. And that's
Speaker:because now what's happening is. And this is also why I can do
Speaker:mediumship for people that are in comas and things. It's because
Speaker:they're so already ascending and they're
Speaker:matching their spirit, is matching the spirit world.
Speaker:But the body is still at a body vibration. Right.
Speaker:I hope that helps probably opens up questions. Oh, absolutely.
Speaker:It's funny, I actually have an Aunt Jenny. I'm
Speaker:sure. Of course, she's probably hanging out right here.
Speaker:Yeah. Her energy's with us. Even if she's on
Speaker:the. On the Earth side. Yeah, no, she's. She's on the other side.
Speaker:Okay. Other. Other side. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Spirit. Spirit world.
Speaker:Yeah. You were mentioning shamanism. It's. It is
Speaker:a classic initiatory process to.
Speaker:Whether it's a vision quest, sweat lodge. For me,
Speaker:recently it's been sweat lodge and darkness, where you do,
Speaker:you know, withhold input into the system.
Speaker:And whether it's through sensory deprivation or fasting,
Speaker:I find it increases the sensitivity
Speaker:to the subtle energy and to the.
Speaker:Because what we're talking about is more like subtle realms
Speaker:that in this density can be harder to pick up on.
Speaker:But when you were sharing earlier and you were talking about, like the rock and
Speaker:the stone and what was rising up in me is,
Speaker:we've all been told, I think it's mostly through Abrahamic religion,
Speaker:which is the separation of spirit and matter,
Speaker:which is. Spirit is in this world and matter is in this world.
Speaker:And what I love about shamanism is you're taught that spirit
Speaker:is infused into matter
Speaker:and that they're not separate worlds or
Speaker:dimensions, that they actually coexist. I'd love for
Speaker:you to speak to that a little bit. Yeah, I love that.
Speaker:Well, it's like the show's over. You just said it all. I love it
Speaker:because for me, I'm like, yes, yes, that's exactly it. What a beautiful way to
Speaker:put it is that it is. The worlds are infused. Right. And so.
Speaker:And I think I was kind of almost saying it before, it's that we're coexisting.
Speaker:We're all coexisting because there's
Speaker:the. It is infused. But if we go
Speaker:back to what we understand as energy.
Speaker:Right. Because frequency is energy. It's all literally
Speaker:currency energy. And so
Speaker:it's how it's being transmitted, or lack thereof. Yes.
Speaker:And this is something that I'm more opening up to now is
Speaker:understanding, though, that we are not the only
Speaker:matter in existence. The Earth as
Speaker:we know it. Right. The world. Because going
Speaker:into galactic terminology and going even
Speaker:further, I mean, that's all energy happening out there. Right.
Speaker:So is it infusing other planets
Speaker:or things that are there? Absolutely. I mean, the sun is literally a
Speaker:ball of fire. Right. But it's. Think about
Speaker:how much energy is in powers behind that.
Speaker:And the moon. These are the things that we can see from The Earth plan
Speaker:plane that we can see as humans what we understand. And
Speaker:so none of that needs to be told
Speaker:what to do and how to do it. Just like nature, right? It just
Speaker:does. It just knows without human interference, we're
Speaker:busy bees over here doing all of this. You know, let's cut down the trees,
Speaker:let's do this, let's do that. And so then we become so
Speaker:directionary in what we're doing in the task
Speaker:that we forget that a lot of this sustains our
Speaker:life as humans on this Earth. And.
Speaker:And our spirit is certainly infused, but so is the spirit of
Speaker:the trees, the Earth, the planets, the all of that around
Speaker:us. And that's part of what for me has been
Speaker:that much more expanded because in this past year,
Speaker:understanding more going now to quantum and understanding that.
Speaker:Because if we define spirit
Speaker:as something that
Speaker:infuses or if, you know, I say the spirit world, but
Speaker:that'll probably change my term for that too because I feel like I'm putting
Speaker:limitations on it by doing that, you see. And so when I
Speaker:take out the limitation of it being
Speaker:anything, it's really just what we can comprehend, right? It's just
Speaker:what we're trying to find, the answers of things that we won't know until we're
Speaker:over there. But it's fun to explore and understand
Speaker:because spiritually it helps us
Speaker:understand things that can raise our vibration, maybe as
Speaker:individuals. And then we go to. Oh, you like that? I like
Speaker:that. That makes sense to me and you as well. So now together as a
Speaker:collective, you know, so maybe shamans as a collective, you
Speaker:know, the idea. And I love how you were saying about the idea of
Speaker:taking the input away. And that's really
Speaker:a lot of what development and training is. Even as a medium, it's getting very
Speaker:used to taking the
Speaker:input. Just moving that part of my brain that takes
Speaker:in over and honoring,
Speaker:trusting and surrendering to that part of my brain
Speaker:computing. But all my other senses that are
Speaker:subtly now exchanging information on that
Speaker:frequency so that I can bring, you know, bring those two
Speaker:worlds together. So, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Speaker:You know, what rises up in me is how,
Speaker:you know, I think there was research a while ago that said the average person
Speaker:modern day consumes more information in one day than our
Speaker:answers ancestors did in one lifetime.
Speaker:If you think about the amount of. Obviously light
Speaker:carries infinite information. So like with our screens, like
Speaker:the amount of information that's entering our psyche
Speaker:on a daily basis would be infinitely more than
Speaker:our ancestors that were just living in nature. And so I'm
Speaker:curious As. As human beings that
Speaker:are looking to develop intuition and open up to
Speaker:spirit, how do. Because I've experienced this
Speaker:tremendously. Like, how do people navigate a world of
Speaker:technology with all of that stimulation and
Speaker:input and all the craziness with wanting
Speaker:to open up to the subtle realms and for all
Speaker:of what we're talking about to become a lived experience, it
Speaker:seems like it's probably harder than ever. But
Speaker:on the other hand, the veil might be thinner than ever.
Speaker:So I'm just really curious. Anywhere you want to take that.
Speaker:Yeah. Well, I will say this. I definitely. And again, I'm getting Just
Speaker:go back to. We're evolving and we're in such an
Speaker:evolutionary time with the technology and the way that we're using
Speaker:computers and advancements and that type of. You know, if I
Speaker:sit on a computer all day, I'm exhausted and I didn't even have
Speaker:to move my body. Right. And it's because of that
Speaker:connectivity where again, generations that
Speaker:are born into this now, they already have the endurance
Speaker:for it. It doesn't phase them. They're not. And. And I feel like if you
Speaker:notice that you're more sensitive, you'll just understand the pull.
Speaker:Right? It's so you're either input or output from technology in the way
Speaker:that we understand technology. So I do feel that
Speaker:that's definitely evolving us.
Speaker:And it's. Are we going to be guardians
Speaker:of the galaxy at some point? Maybe it's like that kind of evolution
Speaker:where now we've got all of this happening
Speaker:and our brains are. They're gonna.
Speaker:And scientifically, but also evolutionarily speaking, I
Speaker:do believe in evolution. Some point you almost. I
Speaker:almost don't see a way where there isn't. Because every time we
Speaker:have something like this that develops. So now to your point
Speaker:where the brain is consuming and we're consuming that much
Speaker:more as humans,
Speaker:there's going to be a shift in how that our eyes, all of our
Speaker:physical makeup, what we're used to, and how it's
Speaker:acclimated to its environment. Right.
Speaker:Over time, just. It just does. It's just part of it.
Speaker:So we do feel that's one thing.
Speaker:And then going back to some quantum ideas is
Speaker:that okay. But it's not going to stop there because
Speaker:this is all going to be going on in
Speaker:another stratosphere anyway, and. Right.
Speaker:And so that definitely. That's part of it. I feel like
Speaker:the other part of it is that technology for us that are
Speaker:living in this phase of it right now,
Speaker:you know, like anything there's. There can you can look at it like assets and
Speaker:liabilities about anything. The blessings and the curses, so to speak, where
Speaker:technology can really help us. Look at you and I right now. How cool
Speaker:is this? We met in person, but, you know,
Speaker:then we've been able to do these connections on a
Speaker:screen. You're in a totally other place than I am right now. And. And we're
Speaker:still having this wonderful conversation about these types of things. And
Speaker:this is happening now. It's so much more common and
Speaker:there's accessibility for people in
Speaker:connectivity. Yeah. And it's funny because there's this
Speaker:thing about spirit coming through. Spirit comes through
Speaker:electronics. Or maybe this is kind of silly, but remember the movie
Speaker:Poltergeist? It's like where it came through the tv, the scary.
Speaker:Because it's energy. It's energy. So now we get
Speaker:to not be scary about it. We get to be like vibrating
Speaker:over the fact that this is all really happening.
Speaker:And, and I think technology is a
Speaker:beautiful gift in that way. I think that it also creates a whole
Speaker:nother world. Right. Where people
Speaker:can go and they can go down. It's like if you're walking in,
Speaker:in. In an unfamiliar place and you go down a dark
Speaker:alley and you don't know what you're going to find. Maybe it's not the best
Speaker:of things. You can do that online, you know, you can do that online.
Speaker:So I feel like it's. Again,
Speaker:if you use it in the right way, it's going to be really helpful
Speaker:for people. Incredibly helpful. And I'll share this because
Speaker:it's coming up. For whatever reason, even talking about
Speaker:technology with the, with the headsets, I don't know if you've ever done anything with
Speaker:like, VR and there's something about
Speaker:people that are ill or maybe going through chemo
Speaker:or having an experience that they can't go anywhere
Speaker:or they can't settle and they put on this
Speaker:VR and it takes you to. Maybe it's the
Speaker:sands of the white beaches in Capri or something.
Speaker:It feels so incredibly real that here you are,
Speaker:here you are. And you, for that time and space, you get to
Speaker:not be your body, not be in your body, but you're
Speaker:still into that experience. So technology is fascinating in that
Speaker:way. Right. It's amazing that that can happen.
Speaker:We've been working towards this. I'm. I'm very
Speaker:intrigued by the past, though, and what it
Speaker:was like without all this. You know,
Speaker:there had to have been, I believe, though, even to them there was
Speaker:technological advancements, even the wheel. I mean,
Speaker:it was oh, my gosh. We can, like, do this and go places and move
Speaker:things. And so to us, it seems like, wow, super
Speaker:powerful. There's always been something super powerful. If you look at history,
Speaker:it's just we're not limited. What
Speaker:technology and advancements are really just
Speaker:breaking limitations. Yeah. Yeah.
Speaker:Beautiful. I'm. I'm so grateful that you shared that. You could say
Speaker:integrated approach or perspective because there's so much
Speaker:polarization where, like, in the tech world, AI and everything is the
Speaker:most amazing thing. In the spiritual world, it's devastating.
Speaker:And now we have the middle way, as Buddha would say.
Speaker:Yes. I'd love to
Speaker:shift gears for a moment and explore.
Speaker:This is something I've been really curious about. When you're
Speaker:giving readings and, you know,
Speaker:I've gotten many readings from many different
Speaker:practitioners. You and I have started to work together,
Speaker:and a lot of people that I know have gone for readings, many psychics,
Speaker:shamans. And a lot of times they'll say, you know,
Speaker:they read these things and these things happened,
Speaker:and they read some of these things and these things didn't happen.
Speaker:And a lot of times people would say, like, oh, like, they read all these
Speaker:things and it didn't happen. They're not good at what they do, or they. It
Speaker:wasn't real, or, like, all these kind of, like, stories.
Speaker:So I'd love to explore, like, when you're giving your reading,
Speaker:how much are you tapping into? We could say, like, the
Speaker:quantum field of potential, which these are
Speaker:some potential paths based on whether
Speaker:it's, you know, your soul's alignment or maybe even choices
Speaker:that you make along the way versus this kind of
Speaker:fixed outcome, kind of black or white. Because there has to
Speaker:be so much that goes into something
Speaker:that you see and whether it actually manifests in
Speaker:someone's life in the physical world. And so I'd love to
Speaker:kind of unpack that a little bit because I feel like there's
Speaker:so many nuances that most people might not understand
Speaker:that goes into what someone is reading
Speaker:versus what actually happens or
Speaker:manifests like, in their life. If you're open to exploring
Speaker:that a little bit. Yeah, sure. And thank you, actually, for bringing
Speaker:that up, because it is something that
Speaker:unfortunately, can dissuade people
Speaker:from going maybe back to somebody unless they felt super comfortable. And
Speaker:even though it was like, well, that didn't really happen the way they said it
Speaker:would. So there's a couple factors with that, and it's. What I
Speaker:need to emphasize is that when I'm working, and
Speaker:probably, you know, any medium, but I'll. I'll stick to myself when I'm working psychically
Speaker:and mediumistically. First of all, there are two different things. So psychically is
Speaker:connecting to what's happening on the earth plane to the person that's alive
Speaker:sitting in front of me, alive on the earth plane in front of me, and
Speaker:connecting to say, it's you and it's your energy, and we're
Speaker:discussing what's going on for you.
Speaker:And then there's mediumship, which is connecting to the spirit
Speaker:world and then bringing that information in. So
Speaker:part of what I want to make sure to say is that for
Speaker:people. People. I would ask people
Speaker:to understand that we're getting. It's our interpretation. I
Speaker:feel like what makes what would, rather than. It's what they're getting.
Speaker:Unless they're just not in the power. Which being in the power means they're. They're
Speaker:just at that vibrational frequency and they know we know we're connected. And
Speaker:I'll feel it if I'm not. But something, you know, comes out,
Speaker:I'll say eight times, maybe nine times out of 10, I'll feel when it happens.
Speaker:Sometimes I'm just in such go mode that it just flies in and then flies
Speaker:out. I'll say it doesn't make any sense. Just put it on the side. Spirit
Speaker:always brings it back around. If it's something that they want to make sure that
Speaker:they get to you that information and even psychically, right. That information,
Speaker:if it's so profound and it's got to get to you, it will,
Speaker:but it's. It's really about the opportunity to
Speaker:translate. So how are we, as the medium or
Speaker:the psychic in that way, interpreting that information
Speaker:in a way that would be offered to
Speaker:make sense to the person in front of me, which is the
Speaker:sitter. Okay. And so it doesn't mean
Speaker:that they're necessarily wrong. It means
Speaker:that they could have misinterpreted it. Now,
Speaker:in their delivery, as they articulate what they're getting,
Speaker:or in the. Because everything's perception.
Speaker:So in the way that the sitter, the person in front of
Speaker:them, received the information, how they heard it and how they digested it,
Speaker:there's that part. Because we're getting information, we're doing
Speaker:the see, hear, feel, know, getting, you
Speaker:know, imprints all at the same time. So very quickly
Speaker:decoding that, making it, okay, this is what. And then
Speaker:bringing that information and. Or story to. To you.
Speaker:What I would say too, is that plays a big part in the
Speaker:psychic sessions is
Speaker:free will. So that's also why one of my
Speaker:sessions is I don't do predictions. Unless spirit. Unless somebody,
Speaker:spirit side is giving information. Like, this is what
Speaker:they're seeing for you, and this is what. That's their information. And there's
Speaker:an intelligence there that's just kind of like they already know because there's no time.
Speaker:So they're just like, boop, go here. But psychically,
Speaker:it's going to be a psychic soundboarding because I'm going to help you work through
Speaker:that using psychic information and intuition,
Speaker:helping what I feel. And I pay really close attention
Speaker:to the vibrational frequency of a person when
Speaker:they're offering what it is. Now I choose to
Speaker:walk through that with them spiritually and give them feedback
Speaker:because there's free will. And I can't. I'm not going to say, this is what
Speaker:you're gonna do and this is what's gonna happen. I can lay it out in
Speaker:the way of, well, this is. This feels
Speaker:like it's really in alignment with where you are headed and where you
Speaker:want to be and where you're going. So if you stay the course and
Speaker:pay attention for the signs, because things that are in alignment were
Speaker:meant to be, as some people might say. They just go easy. It just.
Speaker:Things just start to open up and the path unfolds really easily. You're not
Speaker:forcing anything. You have to work at it a little bit, Put in some elbow
Speaker:grease to get where you want to be, but allowing it to unfold
Speaker:in front of you versus really forcing something.
Speaker:So I could say to somebody, you know, I feel that this
Speaker:is something coming up for you, but if they're not,
Speaker:if they're still in a place where they're just. My
Speaker:experience, people just can be so blocked. They want it done for
Speaker:them and they don't want to put the work in. They want the psychic to
Speaker:tell them, though, this is what's going to happen just because it just is.
Speaker:And that's not how it works.
Speaker:Because then what your subconscious is saying, my
Speaker:free will is I choose to do nothing about it. And you're
Speaker:disempowering yourself and you're putting it
Speaker:all on the psychic or the person to do it all for you
Speaker:just because they made a statement. And that could be with anything.
Speaker:Right? So I really like to encourage and empower
Speaker:people when I work with them and just say, this is how it
Speaker:could look. Or maybe this is something you want to unpack or look into
Speaker:and kind of move forward, help support. It could be. We could get
Speaker:blocks from Anything, trauma, grief, anything. Yeah,
Speaker:Addressing it's going to help you find your path and
Speaker:reopen back up. But that brings us back to that place of. Let me go
Speaker:back into seeing that. So I think that's where. But it gets a bad rap
Speaker:because people are like, well, I just want the answer. And then it doesn't happen.
Speaker:And there's a multitude of reasons why. But I try to be very.
Speaker:As somebody who understands that, I try to be very
Speaker:clear when I work with somebody, though, I think a lot of it is the
Speaker:responsibility of the psychic or medium as well, to educate the person that's going to
Speaker:come for the reading or while they're there, or maybe beforehand. This is what to
Speaker:expect. If I could be the psychic that gets the
Speaker:lottery numbers and lays them out for everybody, so to speak, we'd all be set.
Speaker:Let's go. We'll go. We'll go on vacation all the time, everywhere, you know,
Speaker:so. So there's a reason why we don't. Because we have this
Speaker:ability, but it's giving the person the gift of also
Speaker:reminding them of their free will. That's the part we're just
Speaker:kind of helping support the space. We're just maybe a co
Speaker:pilot, maybe not. I like to say that spirit and source are really the co
Speaker:pilot, but we're just kind of the person with the directions. Like, here I see
Speaker:this and here's the best way to get there, maybe. Yeah,
Speaker:thank you for that. And I remember this was
Speaker:many months ago. I was driving in my car and I was using Waze just
Speaker:to get me somewhere. And I just had this sense of, like,
Speaker:spirit works very similar to how Waze
Speaker:works, where, like, there's this destination which we could
Speaker:say is like your destiny, your potential, and
Speaker:spirit's guiding you there, ideally, like,
Speaker:in the most efficient way possible. But spirit
Speaker:might say, turn left, and you're like, no, screw that, I'm turning right.
Speaker:And you have the free will to turn right. Waze is not going to say,
Speaker:like, oh, like, it's. Waze isn't going to control your car.
Speaker:Like, you're going to turn right. And then Waze is just going to recalibrate.
Speaker:And there might be a different timeline because there's
Speaker:a different ETA now, because there's maybe a little detour.
Speaker:And I'm curious your thoughts on that. Like, spirit is always
Speaker:guiding you, but giving you free will and
Speaker:then recalibrating, like, almost like in the quantum field after
Speaker:each choice. Would you say that that aligns with your
Speaker:experience giving readings? Absolutely. Absolutely. I
Speaker:love that. Yeah, for sure. Because it's so true. It's such a great analogy.
Speaker:It's so true. Right. Life is just the lily pads to getting to where
Speaker:we're going to go anyway. Or maybe you've heard we're all just walking each other
Speaker:home. We're still being. It's like you can get there any way you want.
Speaker:And some ways, though, like you said, you might take, oh,
Speaker:I'm going to just do this anyway, because I think I want. I think I
Speaker:know better. I want to get there faster. And this goes back to discounting maybe
Speaker:some intuition or something. You know, I've taken that other route before
Speaker:or I heard about it, let me do this. But maybe that's
Speaker:not the route for you. And on that day, at that time.
Speaker:So now you're on that route and the road is closed, and now you're like,
Speaker:I gotta turn back around and go back. Something wrong? It's nothing
Speaker:bad. Just gonna take you a little longer to get there. You know, maybe you
Speaker:have to try going an entirely another way. And maybe you
Speaker:were going to go to a place that you haven't been
Speaker:and now it's closed, so you have to go home.
Speaker:And then you have to get in the car tomorrow and take
Speaker:that route and wait for that road to be open again so that you can
Speaker:fully complete the course and get to where you were going. Talk about being
Speaker:infused. And you used that word earlier. And I really love that too, because that's
Speaker:the part I feel like that's very much infused. Is that
Speaker:the navigation and the connectivity, the connection
Speaker:to source? Yes, infused in us. And
Speaker:also allowing some people say, well,
Speaker:I don't want to be the one to tell
Speaker:people that they're responsible. I don't do manifesting because I don't want to tell people
Speaker:that they're responsible. How can you tell somebody that they're responsible for something bad
Speaker:that happened? And it's, it's not necessarily that
Speaker:they're responsible for the thing that was bad that happened.
Speaker:Right. Because that's where we're not surrendering. That's where we're thinking
Speaker:that we're in charge. It's not really manifesting. That's, again,
Speaker:disempowering yourself to that idea.
Speaker:Right. But to really step back and
Speaker:go, well, okay, I want to
Speaker:raise the energy so I feel more aligned. So maybe you're just having a day
Speaker:where you thought you were in a rush and the universe slowed you down
Speaker:and sent you back for a reason, and that's there's
Speaker:something to be said for. That's okay. Maybe. I feel like that's a big part
Speaker:of the surrender to it. And
Speaker:yeah, I mean,
Speaker:I chuckle because it's like spirit's always in charge
Speaker:again, spirit's responsible for our creation and spirit being
Speaker:the energy of it. And then spirit's still in charge in that
Speaker:way. So we have free will for sure. I've used. I
Speaker:have an interesting relationship with my GPS
Speaker:because it's like, I've done that and it's like, oh, or maybe I, you know,
Speaker:need a gas. So I pull off and then there's no gas station. And so
Speaker:it's like all these quirky little things. But I do too relate it to
Speaker:connection in the spirit world and really being shown that. But that's the free
Speaker:will part. We need to have free will because free will is. And people
Speaker:don't understand this. So I do want to say this if I can.
Speaker:We need to have free will because if we didn't, it takes away our
Speaker:opportunity to have that real human experience,
Speaker:that cause and effect. And so it's part of it for all
Speaker:of us. Otherwise, why be here? Yeah. You know,
Speaker:feel it all. I tell people, feel it all. The good, the bad, the things
Speaker:that really ignite you, the field, the things that make you feel. Just feel it,
Speaker:experience it. Because that's.
Speaker:Again, this isn't. This is the gift, not the ability to connect. You know, the
Speaker:gift is being in the human body and being able to experience it all,
Speaker:knowing that it's not the end all. Be all.
Speaker:Yeah, People get stuck in that.
Speaker:And I find free will is what gives meaning.
Speaker:You know, like if. If our. Let's say,
Speaker:our significant other didn't have the free will
Speaker:to hate us, then them loving us
Speaker:wouldn't mean anything. Or if
Speaker:they didn't have the free will to leave us, then them
Speaker:being with us wouldn't have any meaning. So it's almost like we
Speaker:need the free will in a world of polarity
Speaker:for anything to hold any
Speaker:value. Yeah, exactly.
Speaker:Just like. Exactly. Just like the dark and the light.
Speaker:Yeah, just like the dark and the light. Right. So. Because
Speaker:neither one of them can do diligence
Speaker:without the other. So it's so
Speaker:simple. But we can get caught up because we're taking in
Speaker:so much. We're experiencing so much. We're experiencing things we don't even know we're experiencing.
Speaker:Right. And so it's like all that's going on so we can get caught
Speaker:up in all that. But just like bringing it back down to,
Speaker:oh, I've got this thing called free will and it's part
Speaker:of my magic superpower as a human. That's for
Speaker:all of us, that is our superpower. We just forget it's
Speaker:there. Yeah, yeah. I'd love to jump
Speaker:over to mediumship for a moment. Sure.
Speaker:One of the things that I've been very curious about is,
Speaker:you know, a lot of times when whether you're giving a reading or
Speaker:we're connecting with ancestors and they share information,
Speaker:they share insight, they share guidance,
Speaker:I'm wondering how much we have to discern
Speaker:whether that ancestor or family member
Speaker:is in a healed state
Speaker:to offer that. I remember, I don't know if it was
Speaker:Paul Selig or one of like the well known channels. Like he
Speaker:said, just because they don't have a body, it doesn't mean they're wise.
Speaker:And I'm curious if, as a medium, if you
Speaker:feel like there has to be any discernment, let's say when an
Speaker:ancestor is coming into a session, like where are they
Speaker:at in their healing journey and what they're offering
Speaker:as guidance, like, does there have to be some discernment
Speaker:there? I'm just really curious your thoughts on that. Yeah, that's really
Speaker:interesting and I almost beg to differ a little bit on that statement.
Speaker:Yeah. Because I believe in the intelligence of
Speaker:spirit and I believe that the intelligence is not just
Speaker:operationally but the intelligence in the way of the spirit knows
Speaker:best. And I feel that that type of comment
Speaker:is. Just because they're an ancestor doesn't mean they're wise. Could be,
Speaker:I think that's what you said or something like that. Right. It's. Yeah. Just because
Speaker:they don't have a body doesn't mean they're wise. Yeah, yeah. And
Speaker:so in my understanding of it is
Speaker:that you're now relating to the soul
Speaker:and. Yeah, sure, the soul, because the soul is what is
Speaker:the personality part of who our existence, of who we are outside of the
Speaker:body. It's what makes, it's our composition that, that does
Speaker:differentiate us from others. Right. Aside from, you
Speaker:know, what our looks, our physical makeup is. But
Speaker:so the wisdom will come from the soul.
Speaker:But the spirit worlds is all
Speaker:knowing and intelligent. So there's
Speaker:wisdom there. Right. And
Speaker:so again, I feel like that's a little bit limited.
Speaker:I feel like it's the messenger and I'm going to go back to the
Speaker:messenger there. Nothing against him if he was channeling.
Speaker:It's. It's almost like I think it's in the context of how it's said. But
Speaker:I also want to say that it's. And this is why
Speaker:development with mediumship also, I will say this is so incredibly,
Speaker:so incredibly important because the
Speaker:delivery can mean
Speaker:so much. You can get something with somebody
Speaker:who's some connection mediumistically
Speaker:from someone who's very spiritually developed
Speaker:and they understand, you know, not understood
Speaker:necessarily by others, but they understand their own development, they understand their own
Speaker:connection, they understand
Speaker:spirituality as a whole. Right?
Speaker:And so if the information comes in and it's
Speaker:not,
Speaker:It's not necessarily delivered
Speaker:with that knowingness that's going to help or empower now
Speaker:the person receiving the information. Right. That could be
Speaker:harmful. Now going back though
Speaker:to directly like at the same time,
Speaker:from what I understand, there are levels I've had, I've had
Speaker:readings where the person, spirit side comes in
Speaker:and says, in fact, I just had one, I think it was yesterday. The
Speaker:person, spirit side was coming in offering, wow,
Speaker:you know what? I want you to know I've changed. Things are so different now.
Speaker:Now I've understood, now I've gained wisdom. When I was like this,
Speaker:when I was on the earth plane, I was like this short sighted, narrow
Speaker:mind. And now I'm here and my healing is
Speaker:unfolding and I'm now getting
Speaker:wisdom, maybe, but it's more of an opportunity
Speaker:to. The healing is. In a lot of
Speaker:times, the healing's in the message. It's so for instance, this person was like, I
Speaker:needed to hear that. I needed to hear that. I needed to hear them
Speaker:almost grace me with a love and
Speaker:permission in a way that they didn't necessarily do when they were here on the
Speaker:earth plane. But they were also taking responsibility for that. This
Speaker:person's spirit side, it's very different. They were acknowledging the
Speaker:unfoldment of what their process
Speaker:is. Again, I.
Speaker:The ultimate truth will know when we get there.
Speaker:Because then that brings up the question of, well,
Speaker:are there different planes? Are there? Do they have to go through these types
Speaker:of things? I think it's in Christianity or maybe specific to
Speaker:Catholicism, there's this place called Purgatory. And they get there and they
Speaker:have to be in that like holding pen, so to speak,
Speaker:on a soul level for a while before they can actually go. And is that
Speaker:the place where they're faced with, I don't really know.
Speaker:I, I feel like there's
Speaker:a lot of healing that happens once they can see everything,
Speaker:once they can allow that space. And again, I feel like the healing
Speaker:is the contract of anything that's not
Speaker:harmful or Disparaging and whatever that means
Speaker:for both parties involved. Maybe it's the person's spirit side that
Speaker:needs to hear from the person here still on Earth. Hey, I realized I
Speaker:did you wrong. I'm so sorry. You're not here for me to say it, but
Speaker:I'm gonna say it now. Or maybe their heart is mending in a new way.
Speaker:Spirit knows that. Spirit knows that already again, because
Speaker:they're. I'm gonna go up here. But that when we do up here, it just
Speaker:means that's like the frequency where I see them, but they're everywhere, I
Speaker:think. And going back to, like, the play on words. And you were saying
Speaker:when we first opened, it's like you're thinking, everybody says heaven, things are up
Speaker:here. It's really not. It's just. That's the frequency. It's
Speaker:higher. That's all. It's relevant. Yeah. Yeah. You
Speaker:use the word contract, and that's a
Speaker:big word in the realm of spirituality and the realm
Speaker:of Even in some of my work in Family Constellations.
Speaker:And I'm curious your
Speaker:perspective on us coming here
Speaker:as souls incarnating with certain contracts,
Speaker:maybe relationship contracts, work contracts, things we're here
Speaker:to learn, things we're here to fulfill. And
Speaker:then also, like, how much of those contracts are written in stone? How much of
Speaker:those contracts are negotiable? I'm just curious, like,
Speaker:in your experience offering readings and tuning into these things,
Speaker:what's your experience been with our contracts
Speaker:here throughout an incarnation? Yeah,
Speaker:I love all of it. I say that every time. But I
Speaker:do believe in soul contracts. And I do. I love exploring the idea of
Speaker:them. And my experience with it is. It makes
Speaker:sense in a lot of ways. I feel like
Speaker:going back to the idea of.
Speaker:I'm going to describe the visual, but if you ever see light bounce
Speaker:off of something, right. To get. You know, it's either going to. Or it bounces
Speaker:off. Bounces off, Bounces off. And so
Speaker:I look at soul contracts like that is every
Speaker:and every one. Maybe the one that you. You meet somebody and it's
Speaker:just, oh, I feel like I've known that maybe in the past, maybe there was
Speaker:another life or maybe there is another life that it's just so familiar. Just
Speaker:you're so familiar to me. Maybe there's a contract going on
Speaker:in another realm with that person. Right.
Speaker:And so the analogy of the bounce off, it's almost
Speaker:like because to get there, maybe the contract is,
Speaker:I'm gonna help you get there.
Speaker:And it's. It's not the Straight path like we were talking about. So
Speaker:maybe some people go, well, why did it have to end? Maybe it's a relationship.
Speaker:Why did it close? Well, maybe it fulfilled its part,
Speaker:meaning it's now going to send you on a different
Speaker:trajectory. And that next spot,
Speaker:that other lily pad, is the one that you're going to then be,
Speaker:oh, wow, there's so much more. There's more here. And so
Speaker:that is how the contracts are perceived.
Speaker:I do believe that they're agreed upon. The bigger ones, like, the more
Speaker:the ones that are really going to help parents and
Speaker:children maybe, or literally
Speaker:family. And then the people that we choose to bring in and out of our
Speaker:lives, even the ones that are, I'm going to say, a choice
Speaker:in a relationship that you didn't maybe
Speaker:understand was intentional, you end up in it. Maybe the person
Speaker:is like, ooh, this does not feel good. Now I'm
Speaker:recognizing that this is turning because maybe one of the
Speaker:partners is not
Speaker:in such a good headspace towards maybe they're mistreating. Maybe
Speaker:there's mistreatment or something there. Then
Speaker:it's that person. Now we go back to free will. But that person.
Speaker:This doesn't feel right. I don't have to stay.
Speaker:And if I choose to go
Speaker:now, I'm setting that light beam back off,
Speaker:right? And this person maybe did their
Speaker:contract was to bring that into their life, to
Speaker:set their soul on this other. Oh, almost. I can now
Speaker:find freedom where I otherwise might not
Speaker:have. For people, maybe they stay and I'm not pleased. If
Speaker:anybody's listening. I'm not saying that staying or relationship
Speaker:specific, this is purely an example. But if you end up and
Speaker:you stay and you get stuck there and people, I'm stuck, I'm
Speaker:stuck. There's another way. But now that contract is. Now
Speaker:you're saying there's no negotiation and you're forgetting you're disempowering your free
Speaker:will yet again. Right. And so
Speaker:I feel like when I, and I will say this with
Speaker:mediumship specifically, I've heard people from spirit
Speaker:side say, I'm sorry, you know, if they're coming in
Speaker:with taking accountability, I
Speaker:coulda, shoulda, woulda, in hindsight,
Speaker:maybe helped in this way. Would it have
Speaker:changed the trajectory for the person on the earth
Speaker:plane? Maybe sooner and again, going back to like that
Speaker:example. But even. And this where I think mediumship can be a big, really
Speaker:big tool to use because that
Speaker:person's spirit side now is saying it to them now. And
Speaker:there's that healing. Oh, now they can Go on their
Speaker:trajectory. So we were saying, like, are you taking the long route? It's all relative.
Speaker:It's still the same idea. Those contracts, I believe that
Speaker:they're set in stone for certain
Speaker:purposes, but I do believe underlying underneath all
Speaker:of that, there's still the free will that's going to be the thing that
Speaker:really seals the deal. Yeah. If that makes sense. Yeah. Beautiful. That's
Speaker:like your signature in wet ink on the bottom of the contract. Yeah.
Speaker:And so would you say our destiny is
Speaker:unavoidable on some level, but how we get there is a
Speaker:choice. Destiny is a good.
Speaker:It's an interesting topic. Faded.
Speaker:The faded. I don't know that. Yes and
Speaker:no. And I feel like what it is is just going back to your ways.
Speaker:Example, say you're trying to go to a specific
Speaker:store. Right. Or location. And why it has to be a store.
Speaker:Maybe we need to go shopping. Greg. But say there's
Speaker:a specific location and you're
Speaker:looking to get there, but you go, okay, that's
Speaker:my perceived destination.
Speaker:And now when you hit that dead end road, so you back
Speaker:out and you go and you're like, okay, but I can turn around and just
Speaker:go around the block. And then you get to the next block
Speaker:and all of a sudden that location
Speaker:that you were looking to go to, there's another one right
Speaker:there. Oh, my gosh. Wow, look at that.
Speaker:Amazing. So you know what? This is perfect.
Speaker:I'm going to hang here. This is a location that's either the same
Speaker:or carbon copy. And here you are. Right.
Speaker:So that to me is the destiny and the
Speaker:fate again. It goes back to having free will
Speaker:and yet still being able to get
Speaker:to where it is we need to go, which is still going to be
Speaker:part of source and end up spirit side. Right. It's hard.
Speaker:It's hard to practice in our daily lives, but sometimes it's
Speaker:just. Why? Why be so serious? You know,
Speaker:because at the end of the day, we're all just looking to go to
Speaker:that. That beautiful place and that location and have the best time.
Speaker:Maybe with the less amount of traffic, but meeting the most amount of people and
Speaker:in the highest way possible, in the best way and the highest good
Speaker:possible. So to
Speaker:me, that's the destiny is there. It's not in the thing, it's not in the
Speaker:grandiosity, it's not in the how much can I get there? That's where I
Speaker:think I'm supposed to be. There's no thinking spirit. There's
Speaker:no the wisdom of the ages going back
Speaker:to that thing. Yeah. Because they did it. Maybe we can ask those that have
Speaker:gone before us to come in and help support our journey.
Speaker:Infusing it with the
Speaker:knowing or the opportunity to be able to
Speaker:discern those places that feel
Speaker:good. Don't you want to just go there feeling good, but also understanding that if
Speaker:I have a little of this, it doesn't feel right. It's just a check engine
Speaker:light. It's just the guide to tell me, oh, maybe turn around or maybe go
Speaker:a different way or find something that makes you feel good again. So yeah,
Speaker:I feel like that's. Anyway, that's how I see it. And maybe
Speaker:people are just going to call me a positivity chaser, I don't know. But I
Speaker:talk to the dead for a living, so you've got to understand that.
Speaker:But you know, I communicate with spirit better off said. And I don't think. I
Speaker:don't see anything. I don't feel like there's anything wrong with that. I think we
Speaker:all should just feel a little bit more empowered on a daily beautiful.
Speaker:And I've had in the dark days. Right. So that doesn't mean that it's, it's
Speaker:not having been without. Like you said before, the dark and the light, they
Speaker:need to. So yeah. Beautiful.
Speaker:Yeah. I could talk to you for hours about this,
Speaker:but I would love to just open up the space for you
Speaker:to share anything that you'd like to share about your work,
Speaker:anything that our listeners haven't heard about. So I just love
Speaker:to open up the floor for you to share anything else you'd
Speaker:like to offer in terms of your work. Thank you.
Speaker:Yeah, well, I do a few different things that I'm passionate about.
Speaker:All of them. I do private one on one sessions. They're
Speaker:virtual, which is fine. Spirit works the same. It doesn't change
Speaker:the format of the reading or how your loved ones are going to
Speaker:connect or how I connect with you. So private sessions,
Speaker:I do quantum hypnosis sessions which are really
Speaker:interesting and that's just to explore and visit
Speaker:all of your consciousness. And it really is beautiful
Speaker:way to have some understanding of
Speaker:patterns of blockages of
Speaker:yourself. Really even better yet. And
Speaker:I do offer some mentoring as well. And I have
Speaker:something called Sacred Soul Society, which is a
Speaker:gathering weekly that we get together and
Speaker:on Zoom. And I bring whoever is a part of that community
Speaker:at the time, I bring the practices of understanding, your intuition,
Speaker:of understanding how to connect. We talk. We do a lot of psychic work in
Speaker:there, exploring. But you don't have to be a psychic or want to be a
Speaker:psychic. Maybe you just want to understand spirituality better. You maybe want
Speaker:to have more again connection to your intuition
Speaker:and be supported in your journey with like minded people.
Speaker:I try to think of what else and then I do events, you know, every
Speaker:now and then you can check my events page on my website, my public events
Speaker:or demonstrations of mediumship. And that's what I do. And
Speaker:oftentimes for larger crowds. I do also do workshops. I haven't run any
Speaker:in a while, but there will be. Those are my in person workshops will be
Speaker:popping up again soon. So you can always check my website, which is
Speaker:dawnpaula.com and
Speaker:that will give you all of my information right on there. Anything that's being offered
Speaker:at the current time can contact me directly through there as
Speaker:well. And I'm on Instagram at Underscore
Speaker:Dawn Paula Underscore as well. So those are probably
Speaker:the best places to find me. Beautiful, thank you so much for that.
Speaker:And I'm just curious if you or anything coming
Speaker:through to you, any parting messages for our
Speaker:listeners? Oh yeah, there's
Speaker:something that's coming in about. Yeah, I just feel like there's
Speaker:something about not giving up. Don't give up.
Speaker:Don't give up. And give yourself an opportunity
Speaker:to stand in the sunlight for a little while and enjoy it.
Speaker:And I'm going to go back to what was just said. But why so serious?
Speaker:Yeah, yeah, have some fun with it. Spirit, Spirit wants us to
Speaker:play. Dawn, thank you so much for your
Speaker:wisdom, your present, your guidance also in my life
Speaker:and for coming on the show today for sure. Thank you. And I forgot
Speaker:to mention, I do do mentoring, but that's all on my website, so you know
Speaker:that already. But so good to see you. Thank you so much for asking me
Speaker:to be a participant on your beautiful
Speaker:podcast and all that you have to offer. And I definitely look forward to connecting
Speaker:with you more as well. Thank you. Thank you so much. Okay, talk soon.
Speaker:Bye bye.
