Welcome to Postcards to the Universe with Melissa Caprio. Do you believe in magic?
0:16
What if you were told that all you had to do was get a
0:19
little creative and work a magic spell to bring anything you can imagine into your
0:25
life. Here on Postcards to the Universe, we will share manifesting tips,
0:31
postcards, creativity, abundance, and prosperity. Here's your host, Melissa Caprio.
0:40
Hey, everybody, welcome to Postcards to the Universe with Melissa creating the
0:45
life you crave. I hope you guys are doing well. How's everybody doing.
0:51
I have a really great show today. I have author, psychic and
0:55
medium isebo Maxwell as my guest, and she is going to join me in
1:00
a few minutes. I'm really excited to speak with her today. So there's
1:06
kind of like a running joke with my producer Chris that every time I have
1:08
a guest, I always ask them where they're calling from, because I live
1:12
vicariously through everybody else as they get to enjoy the weather changes that happen.
1:19
Except I am in South Florida and it is September twenty seventh, and it
1:25
is still very warm, and the humidity has been off the charts. So
1:29
for all of you that are getting to experience fall weather, I'm so jealous.
1:34
You're so lucky. Oh my god, I wish I can't wait until
1:37
it breaks over here, but it will at some point, probably in the
1:41
two more months. Just kind of get through the next two months. Okay.
1:45
So to my regulars, I want to give a big shout out,
1:48
thank you so much for joining me each week. I really appreciate you.
1:52
It means the world to me. And if you're joining me for the first
1:56
time, I want to say welcome, and I hope you keep coming back.
2:00
And just so you know that any show that you listen to, we
2:02
do put up in the archives on Home Times Radio. And I also uploaded
2:07
on my website Postcards to the Universe as my podcast, So yeah, keep
2:12
coming back. Please a little bit about me if you're just listening to me
2:16
the first time. I'm an artist, I'm a photographer. I'm also an
2:20
author, and I have a book and it's called Postcards to the Universe.
2:23
Harness the Universe's power and manifest your dreams. And my book's all about manifesting.
2:29
It's about manifesting abundance. And what I do is I have people create
2:32
a manifesting postcard. I photographed their postcard, and when their manifestation becomes their
2:40
reality, I share their stories along with the postcard. So that's basically what's
2:46
in the book. There's thirty of those stories, and I broke it down
2:51
into the major areas of our life where we want more abundance, which is
2:54
in our health and our career, money of course, and love, relationships,
3:00
all that good stuff. So my book came out. It's coming up
3:04
on four years. I can't even believe it. It's I think it was
3:07
like the end of November four years ago, and it released right before COVID,
3:12
so it wasn't really the best time to launch a new book. I
3:14
had all these book tours lined up and shows I was going to be on,
3:17
and you know, everything kind of shut down. So I decided,
3:23
now that I'm coming up on the four year mark, that I was going
3:25
to start doing live readings from my book. I break them down in these
3:30
five minute videos and you can follow along, you can watch them and listen
3:36
to the book. I'm doing that on Instagram and TikTok, LinkedIn and YouTube,
3:43
so if you're interested, yeah, follow alone, just you know,
3:46
hit me alike and a comment if you liked the book, I would appreciate
3:51
it. I just felt like I felt called. I don't know why the
3:53
thought came. I felt called to do it, and I usually I follow
3:58
my instinct when that happens. If you have been listening to me, I
4:02
also ask each week that people listening send me a manifesting postcard. Please send
4:10
them. I love getting them. Just got another one yesterday if you can.
4:15
If you don't know what I'm talking about, it's kind of like a
4:17
little mini vision board, but you can find out how to create one and
4:23
the address where to send it on my website Postcards to the Universe dot com,
4:27
and of course you can always email me and I will help you.
4:30
Yeah, please send them, because those things really really work. They're pretty
4:32
amazing, and they're fun to do. I've also been sharing that I'm doing
4:38
workshops. I'm going to be doing a manifesting workshop, a one off on
4:44
a Saturday. I think we're going to start that in a new year.
4:46
It's going to be online, so you can create one and join me on
4:49
that workshop. But I've also been talking about another workshop that I'm running right
4:55
now, and it runs Thursday, evenings. It's six to eight pm Eastern
4:59
time. It is called Manifesting through Gratitude, a visual journey, and it
5:05
runs five weeks. You can do it from the comfort of your home.
5:09
You can find out more about the workshop if you go again to my website.
5:13
Postcards at the universe dot com tells you all about the workshop, the
5:16
link to sign up if you're interested. And basically, we're going to be
5:20
using gratitude to manifest because the more grateful we are, the more things we
5:27
have to be grateful for. And the way that I like to do it
5:31
is I use my camera phone. So I'm teaching people how to use their
5:36
phone, their cameras on their phones as a tool to manifesting using gratitude,
5:44
taking pictures of the things we already have. But of course, you know,
5:46
I have it all broken down. I have writing exercises. We're going
5:50
to do relationships and love and our bodies and health and money and all that
5:55
fun stuff. So yeah, if you're interested, let me know sign up,
6:00
or if you have any questions reach out. Okay, So I share
6:05
a magical message that I post on my social media each week. It's an
6:10
image of a postcard and manifesting postcard that I mentioned earlier that I photographed with
6:15
an affirmation, and I decided, since I'm doing the readings with the book
6:20
now, I decided to re photograph the postcards that are in my book.
6:29
And I'm just giving a little blurb of the contributor story when I release the
6:33
postcard. So you either have to listen to my readings to hear the full
6:38
story, or of course you have to get the book. And this week's
6:42
is falling in Love with Myself, and this is Dana's story. And Dana's
6:47
story is about how she let go of a lot of toxic relationships and stuff
6:54
in her life and how she found herself again and found love for herself.
7:00
So it's a really really good story, all right. So now to get
7:04
to my guests today. I love having guests because I talk to myself all
7:10
the time. I hear my own thoughts in my own head, and I
7:13
like meeting new people doing really interesting things. So Isabou bou Maxwell is one

8:28
so much for joining me today. I'm really excited to talk to you.
8:31
I am excited to shout with you too. We've got the very similar vibe
8:35
and we're out there doing some of the same stuff, and I was looking
8:39
forward to getting on the line with you. Oh good. I know I
8:43
swear psychics and psychic mediums and people that are really in touch with that part
8:50
of themselves. It's like so fascinating to me because I know that I'm very
8:54
intuitive and I have had some psychic flashes here and there, but I don't
9:00
do that work on a regular basis. So share a little bit about you
9:05
and how was this something that you were born with or did it come to
9:09
you later? And I love the title of your book, Adventures of a
9:13
Reluctant Medium, cracking Elphit all right, I'll let you share your story.
9:18
Go ahead. No that the title could not be more perfect, because I
9:24
was seriously reluctant. It was quite so the book itself, it turned out
9:30
to be a really popular book. I'm when we're off of this line of
9:35
getting your book too, because I am in love with what you're doing.
9:39
Thank you, Thank you so much, so I'm totally going to jump into
9:46
my story. But if I could ask a question also about your book as
9:48
well, sure are you also? You must be getting feedback from people who
9:54
wish to manifest and then they read your book and then manifesting times easier as
10:01
a result simple result of reading your book. Yes, yes, that does
10:05
happen. That does happen. Yes, people they're like, oh, because
10:09
I get really in detail, you know, like I go through being using
10:15
our creativity for manifesting. But when you read the book. It's it's very
10:18
detailed and there's a lot of writing exercises, so it gets helps people get
10:24
really clear on what it is they want because a lot of people don't really
10:28
know what they want. They kind of know what they don't want, and
10:33
they may want to feel more joy or they may want to be happy,
10:37
but they're not really sure what that looks like. What is happiness mean to
10:43
you? You know, to all of us, it's different. So it
10:46
gets really in depth. And then I have tons of really fun exercises in
10:50
the book, especially around manifesting health and money, you know, fun games
10:54
we can play. So it kind of gets us to retrain our brain because
11:00
we are are we thinking about our problems and what we don't want, and
11:03
we don't want to do that anymore. So yeah, I love that.
11:07
And then and then's a lot of a lot of the teaching that happened for
11:11
my students is through sometimes witnessing other possibilities and just seeing somebody else's experience.
11:20
Oh they can do it, you know, I can do it too.
11:22
So that's my If I was the poster girl for if I can do it,
11:28
you could do it too, that would work. That would fit who
11:31
I am really, because I was thirty two years old. I wasn't born
11:35
with it. So it's thirty two and my grandmother passed away. And the
11:41
shortest version is that she showed up in my living room and it was it
11:46
was a night and day. Wow, a little bit of fear all of
11:52
that man's been because up to that point I was skeptic. I was a
11:58
math major, and I have a degree from college and mathematics. I mean,
12:03
I am not the person who would have ever thought would have followed this
12:09
path. And so here I am two in the afternoon. You know,
12:13
I just hung up with the hospice house. I wasn't able to be near
12:16
her. I was a couple of states away. And yeah, it was
12:20
really hard because I was really close to her, and I was standing there
12:24
in my living room trying to figure out what the heck to do, and
12:28
she showed up right in front of me, like ten feet in front of
12:31
me, looked right at me. She was about seventy percent solid. Now,
12:37
you weren't awake, you weren't dreaming. This was when you were in
12:41
your waking state, right, you weren't asleep when this happened, fair question,
12:45
absolutely fair question. I even personally myself starts for reasons why this happened,
12:52
you know, was I whatever? But it was the middle of the
12:54
day. I had just gotten off the phone. I came out in the
12:58
living room and my family said, we're going to go to the store.
13:01
We're gonna get you some some snacks and some comfort food. And I'm like,
13:03
that's wonderful. I was alone in my apartment and I was trying to
13:07
decide do I fall apart or do I get an airline? Kicking? What
13:11
it was? That? What it was, that grief moment of what do
13:13
I do? What are now? Like? I knew it was coming,
13:16
but what do I do? And it was right. It was also not
13:22
out of the corner of my eye, which is a very common thing for
13:26
a lot of us to experience our stuition. And if you remind me,
13:28
I can tell you a little bit more about how that all works too.
13:33
But but in front of me, she's right there. She turned. She
13:37
was standing sideways too, which was odd, and she turned and looked at
13:41
me and winked and smiled and then disappeared. And I was yeah, I
13:48
remember thinking, okay, okay, talk yourself out of this. Nothing like
13:52
this has ever happened. This that was grief, That was a hallucination.
13:56
That was grief. And now I was so out of touch with spirituality.
14:01
I now know that many people have experiences of their loved one saying goodbye in
14:07
the death process, but I didn't do that. Yeah, So I went
14:11
to bed, didn't say a word, woke up the next day. My
14:13
husband at the time said, Wow, I had the most realistic dream last
14:16
night of your grandma. This is what she was wearing. And he literally
14:22
described what she was wearing when she showed up, and I went, oh,
14:24
boy, wait a minute, yeah, I just got goosebumps. And
14:33
this is this is how the whole the cracking Open Adventures of a Reluctant Median
14:37
book starts because it's the first two years of me going from knowing absolutely nothing
14:43
to being open and working as a professional into it is and as a spiritual
14:48
coaching teacher. And I just I I'm half embarrassed to say this, but
14:56
I'm half excited to share because somebody might relate. But I didn't know what
15:01
to do, so I thought, I'm gonna see if this is real,
15:03
because I kind of wanted to be sure and I went. The only person
15:09
I knew that was even closer spiritual was a Tai tea instructor in the town,
15:15
and so I went to him and I was like, awkwardly, this
15:18
man is just the nicest man on the planet, because obviously still accepted me
15:22
after this moment. But I remember walking up to him going, you're the
15:26
strangest person I know. He helped me and she just embraced me. She
15:31
was like, all right, lady, you're ir adorable. Come on.
15:35
And he helped me with yes and no pendulum work and I started using that.
15:41
I'd say about four or five months later I saw her again. It
15:43
took months, but then I finally saw her again, and then I started
15:46
seeing more spirits and here I am today. Wow. Well yeah, because
15:52
now you're light, you're like a beacon for the other time. I always
15:56
think of it like that, like a lighthouse, you know, the people
15:58
that like tuned in, like they see you and they're like, oh,
16:02
she can see us, you know, let's go. I had my sister
16:06
passed away in June of last year, and I've had two visitations, but
16:11
I was asleep. But I do know the difference because I've had many dreams,
16:15
and I can't explain the difference. I can only tell you that if
16:21
you have the experience, you know the difference. So I did have two
16:25
visitations from her in my sleep, and I was so excited to see her.
16:27
So yeah, it's pretty wild. I mean, I've always been into
16:33
this stuff since I was a teenager, you know, so like to me,
16:36
I'd love hearing these stories. I love it. That's amazing. Sorry
16:41
for your for your low thank you. I'm so grateful that she was able
16:47
to come through. And now the dreams when they come through, I mean,
16:52
but now I've been open for you like about eighteen years now, and
16:56
I've worked with so many people I work with all across the globe at this
17:00
point. But the dreams that come through like that that you're that you're talking
17:04
about are They're so realistic. You were there, so you wake up feeling
17:11
like you might have napped, but before the nap, you've met with her.
17:15
So it's a it's a hard thing to explain to people, but it's
17:18
a dream that you can't forget because it happened just the same way yesterday happened
17:22
to you. Yeah, yeah, it is. It has a different feel
17:26
to it so now that you're open and you connect with people on the other
17:30
side. For other people, how do they show up for you? Because
17:36
I know everybody's different. I've had many different psychics mediums on my show.
17:40
I know, and you can explain the difference between a psychic and a medium
17:44
for those who don't don't know. But how do they show up for you?
17:48
Is it a thought? Do you see? Do you hear? Is
17:49
it a combination? I'm very curious. I love to hear how it happens
17:55
for people. I know why it happens the way it happens for me.
18:03
For me, when I communicate with the spirit, it's I know. First
18:08
off, it's not really like the movies where they're just walking through the rooms.
18:14
That happens every now and then. There was there was one guy that
18:17
I saw at a drug store once, so I had to take a double
18:19
fake. I'm like, wait, you look no, all right, that's
18:23
all right. I'm not gonna look. I'm not gonna look crazy. I'm
18:27
just gonna get my zoderant go home. But for the most part, it's
18:33
it's a combination of like a feeling and then it looks to me outside I
18:37
see outside of myself. So if I closed my eyes, I don't see
18:42
anything. And I now know that that was because that was my sort of
18:48
fear based mechanism in the beginning. Closed your eyes closed, your eyes will
18:52
go away. So I kind of trained myself that when my eyes are closed,
18:56
I don't see him, and that's the case. So I see them
19:00
outside of myself, you know, four or five feet away, when I
19:03
know that there's a spirit around that wants to communicate. At this point,
19:07
it's you know, there was always there was always that free for all moment
19:11
where I saw one and then I saw another, and then I saw another.
19:15
The gradual growth until you're like, wow, they're they're like everywhere I
19:21
go, I'm seeing someone. I did learn how to kind of practice ignore.
19:26
That's what I call it. So it's like some people say turning it
19:29
off. I'm like, mind the practice ignoring. When a messages comes through
19:33
that has to come through, they show up kind of like a heat signature,
19:37
you know, like a heat wave over a hot road. That put
19:42
that into the shape of a person. And then how I kind of know
19:48
that there's somebody near me. And then what I do then is I will
19:53
be focused and now This is actually a tip that dear listeners might really love.
20:00
The defocusing is the key to it, and a lot of us don't
20:03
think about this. This is where the out of the corner of your eye
20:07
thing comes in. A lot of us see something out of the corner of
20:10
our eye and then we turn to look to find it and it's gone.
20:14
There's a reason for that, and this one piece of knowledge has opened up
20:18
so many people intuitively because everyone can do this. What you need to do
20:23
is what's happening is you have to relax your gaze. You have to relax
20:26
your focus because when we're focused on the material world, that's not where spirit
20:33
is, that's not where intuition is, that's not where anything is. So
20:37
when we let go of the world around us and sort of forget about it,
20:41
some people close their eyes, some people defocus, that's when you start
20:45
to actually see. And that's why your peripheral is the focused That's why you
20:52
saw something in your peripheral because it was in a defocused space. So when
20:56
we know that, we can kind of put two in two together. What
21:00
we can do is we can relax into relaxing our gaze, and that's how
21:06
I see so I'll get kind of this heat signature, feeling, kind of
21:10
thing coming through. When I turn my focus towards the spirit and relax my
21:15
gaze, I see it like this, I let the world around me kind
21:18
of fall away. That's when I think to them more clearly. M now.
21:25
So when they want to communicate something to you, do you get thoughts
21:29
that you know now, but because you've been doing it for a while that
21:32
are not yours come into your mind? Or do you actually hear words from
21:41
them? This is where psychic versus medium, yeahs has a big difference.
21:48
Yeah, this is a great place to talk about that, because psychic is
21:55
almost like submersing yourself in the energy of a space or a person or a
22:00
thing or a time or an event, whereas medium in a conversation. So
22:07
the way that I explain it to people is if you were going to sit
22:11
down and do a reading for a person, and that person was symbolically a
22:15
large body of water, like a big lake, A psychic would run off
22:19
the dock and jump into the lake and just submerse themselves and then pick up
22:25
information, whereas a medium would run to the end of the dock and then
22:29
stand there and have to wait for a stupid boat to pull up with a
22:33
diseased person in it, and then they didn't give in, and then the
22:37
diseased person would be like, we're going to go over to this part of
22:40
the lake and talk about this. So psychics will dive in. Mediums are
22:47
reliant on the information from you, a conscious source. Say it that way.
22:53
Another way to say it is like I tell my friends, if I
22:56
lose my keys, I can't just go where are my keys, you know,
23:02
and like think to where they are psychically. But if a diseased person
23:04
shows up, I'm gonna ask them, hey, do you know what these
23:07
are? And they would tell me. That's the difference between kays and mediums.
23:15
It's so fascinating. Now, do you see do you do private readings?
23:19
Like if anybody's listening and they're like, oh, I really love the
23:22
way she's talking about it. I would love to talk to my mother or
23:25
my grandmother or my husband or whatever. Do you do private readings or do
23:29
you teach people? Like because I know because we're going to also talk about
23:33
what the Sage method is and what you teach and everything, probably after the
23:37
break because we only have a few minutes before the break. But do you
23:40
have one on one readings with clients? You know, it's really interesting that
23:45
you're asking that you're asking that question right now because I just started taking readings
23:51
on a week ago again. Oh wow. Yeah, I actually took like
23:56
a three year break. I think it was three years a long break.
24:00
I do a lot of teaching and I work with a lot of people through
24:03
the Stage method, and I was on the road traveling for about two and
24:07
a half years, just straight traveling, and it just I need to be
24:11
in a calm, good space for my client, you know what I mean.
24:15
Yeah. Sure, So we landed like two months ago and all of
24:18
a sudden, everything settled in really peacefully, and I said, you know
24:22
what, it's time to do sessions again. So I have just a week
24:26
ago opened up. Yeah. I do one on one sessions. I love
24:30
that I do. Come sing, I do intuitive sessions and then also do
24:33
spiritual clearing. That's great, No, that's good for anybody who's like,
24:37
oh yeah, I really really need to do this. You know. So
24:41
you just said your intuitive sessions, so I know you you talk about the
24:45
difference between intuition versus imagination. So how do we know the difference between the
24:53
two. The overall feel that we should think about when we're trying to determine
25:00
because everyone has said did I make that up? Like? Was that right?
25:04
Everyone said that? But the number one thing to start to learn to
25:11
speel is a pole or a push. There's either a poll happening or a
25:17
push happening. We're not aware of it when we're just consciously saying out loud
25:21
did I make that up? I'm not sure. If you're not sure,
25:23
I want you to sit go back to what just happened and see if you
25:30
can feel a poll or a push. A push is going to be your
25:33
imagination. You're pushing this into your reality and saying, Okay, this is
25:37
my thought that I'm creating. A pull is out of left field. It's
25:41
just like I got pulled in this direction and I didn't expect it, so
25:48
it's yeah. Imagination is like sitting down and to eat dinner, and intuition
25:53
is like a fly that zooms in the room and hits you in the side
25:56
of the head and you're like, wait a minute, what So yeah,
26:02
it's two totally different things. And I also tell people because people work really
26:07
really hard not to use their imagination in hopes that they can really just really
26:12
be intuitive. And I totally get that. But sometimes I tell people,
26:18
set a stage with your imagination and then and then consciously stop your imagination,
26:26
like set the stage and then stop and hold still and see if anything comes
26:30
in. If something comes in, that's intuition. So that's a technique.
26:37
That's a training technique. I tell people, try it, try it,
26:38
try it, because you're going to start to feel that different. Wow.
26:44
Yeah, that's really really interesting. There's so much more I want to talk
26:47
to you about. So we're going to take our break here, and then
26:48
when we come back, I'm gonna ask I got a lot more questions for

30:03
you're just joining me today. I have psychic and medium and author of the
30:11
State of Cracking, Open Adventures of a Reluctant medium is Abo Maxwell with me
30:17
and we're going to talk about the Sage method. I want to get into
30:21
that too, but I have so many other questions that I want to ask
30:23
you for us before we get into that. So this is what you talk
30:29
about, and this is I want to ask, and everybody I know is
30:33
interested in this. What is the crossing over process like when somebody dies.
30:38
Now, after my sister died, my mother and my other sister and I
30:44
we all got readings from different psychics and we've gotten very similar things that were
30:48
told to us. But I want to hear what you have found that the
30:52
crossing over process looks like. Well, I've done crossing overwork for the last
31:00
you know, fifteen sixteen years something like this, and it's been so rewarding.
31:07
The way that I talk about the crossing over process, I talk about
31:10
it not in any specific titles or identifications or terms, because you know,
31:17
there's I work with people all over the globe and there's so many beautiful traditions.
31:21
But the way that it it I've experienced it is we have three bodies
31:29
when we're here on earth. We've got the physical body, we have our
31:32
spirit, which is like our spiritual body, and then we have what I
31:36
call the programming mind. That's the that's who we are here in this lifetime.
31:41
And what happens when somebody passes is that to their two bodies leave the
31:48
third body. So the spirit and the programming mind leave the physical body.
31:53
That's that moment where we're all, you know, where we witness to death
31:57
happen. And the individual will then go through what I call the in between,
32:05
and they're crossing over and their renew their reviewal process really to review their
32:09
lifetime. And as they go through that review they will slowly then shed that
32:15
programming body, that that kind of human identity peace that they had here in
32:23
life. And that's when the spiritual body then crosses over completely, releases from
32:29
this linear timeline, reconnects with with their higher self. M So interesting.
32:37
Now, do do spirits get stuck in their in their transition and they get
32:43
stuck? They do? Interesting? Yeah, they do, they do.
32:45
But the thing about this is because it can sound kind of scary. I
32:51
mean, if someone said this to me, I'd be like, Nope,
32:52
I'm done, let's talk about something else, right, But but every time
33:00
I've ever seen a spirit stuck, which by the way, is. It's
33:04
not often that a spiritual fact, but every time I've seen one, there's
33:08
always been a fear based factor. And I have seen so many different reasons
33:15
why spirits are stuck. I do crossing over work. It's one of the
33:19
I work with real estate. I work with people who have attachments things like
33:23
this, So I do a lot of crossing over work. That's kind of
33:25
what I'm known for in the circles. And I have seen moms scared to
33:32
miss a graduation ceremony and that's the fear that holds them there. I have
33:38
seen people who are terrified that they're gonna, you know, burn in hell,
33:43
and then that's the fear that holds them there. So there's always a
33:46
fear involved that will. You know, there's always exceptions to everything, there's
33:52
all possibilities in the in between, but it's typically a fear that holds people
33:57
there. So what I tell people is this is an automatic pull. When
34:01
somebody passes, it is automatic, there's no stopping it. Every every moment
34:08
that they move through their transition process feels better and better because they're reuniting and
34:15
reconnecting into the purest form of unconditional love. So it's so it's a very
34:22
warm, wonderful, loving, healing experience. And there there is indeed souls
34:28
that we are connected to you that are reaching their hand out to help us
34:32
from the other side to come over as well. So all that process is
34:37
very true to form. It's just you know, sometimes someone will be fearful
34:45
and the analogy I use is in order for a spirit to be suck,
34:49
it would be like digging your heels into the sides of like a people mover
34:53
or an escalator. You do need to consciously stop yourself from crossing so we
35:00
don't get stuck in a bad way. We get stuck if we have something
35:04
to process or we don't want to go crossover. Interesting. Yeah, that
35:08
that makes sense to me. And I have heard from people who have had
35:12
near death experiences where they've met their loved ones, but they're informed that they
35:17
can go back. It's it's not their time yet, right says, and
35:21
they come back and then they share their experience. Now you mentioned something that
35:24
people are afraid of going to hell. Now I'm OHI I don't believe in
35:29
hell, you know, And so what what do people who you know come
35:34
from that traditional religious background who are told that if you're not a good person,
35:39
you go to hell? Like what really happens? That is Actually most
35:45
of the individuals that I've run into that were stuck. It really is.
35:50
And you know when I stepped into it, Like the book Crossing Over talks
35:57
about how I step into doing this type of work. Are Cracking Open,
36:01
I'm getting that backwards. The book Cracking Open talked about my crossing over world,
36:07
right, I got that. I got that. Yeah, yep.
36:12
So when I started doing it, I guess I whimsically thought, oh am
36:20
I going to see like a night from like fourteen notes? You know?
36:24
Yeah, No, there's a no. And it's like most of the individuals
36:30
that are stuck are stuck once this fear based kind of control platforms came in.
36:37
And while we have beautiful you know, I work with all traditions,
36:43
there's my teaching style is not based in any one particular tradition. My teaching
36:49
style is human, not not religious. And there are all forms of religions
36:55
have beautiful, amazing, wonderful groups within them. But all forms of religion
37:00
although have those ones that should just call it a day, and the cause
37:06
more harm than they cause. Good people that walks through that will get stuck
37:12
because in the in between, because you don't have the physical body. Oh,
37:16
this is going to totally resonate with the work you do too, because
37:20
you don't have the physical body. In the in between, there are no
37:23
limitations to manifesting. There are none, right, The only thing that's stopping
37:30
us and getting in our way is our own mind and body. So in
37:34
the in between, even though you still have your programming mind, without that
37:38
physical body kind of anchoring you into linear time, you can really create anything
37:44
in the in between. So this means that if somebody wants to create a
37:50
warm blanket and hot chocolate to make them feel comforted as they're crossing through,
37:53
they absolutely can. The same thing goes if somebody did something wrong on Earth,
37:59
they die and they go into the in between and they have been convinced
38:04
by their religion that they're going to this place titled Hello. Then when they're
38:09
looking at the light, they're going to see what they are scared of.
38:14
They're going to see what they think that they're seeing. So the fear is
38:17
really people say, well, why can't I manifest anything I want? You
38:22
can in the in between, You can't in mid life because you've got a
38:25
body. Wow. So so that's what I'm Yeah, you know, you're
38:32
the first person and I've heard how many people talk about it where I just
38:37
got like an aha moment like that really totally makes sense because when you hear
38:42
the stories of the people who say, oh, I you know, had
38:45
a near death experience and it was hell. Because we've heard those stories,
38:49
it never occurred to me that they're manifesting it. I just got goose bumps
38:54
again, like, no, I just got it. I just got it.
38:57
Now, I understand, Now, I understand. Thank you for that.
39:02
Do you hear the thunder in the background we got in the storm?
39:06
Did you hear that the thunder? You couldn't get any more perfect timing with
39:10
that. You know, we're going one of our afternoon storms. Okay,
39:16
So for those who are listening and and they want to do a course with
39:23
you, let's talk a little bit about the Sage method and they want to
39:27
do a course. Are you teaching people how to be a medium? What
39:30
do you teach in your course? The Sage method is structured in such a
39:35
way that it shows you what's blocking you, which can be a challenge to
39:42
walk through. But it does. It does three things. It shows you
39:45
what's blocking you. It explains how intuition works in between all the stuff that
39:51
we've been talking about more depths, so you kind of understand how the engine
39:55
run. Yeah. And then lastly, it holds you in a space experimenting
40:00
with not only psychic but mediumships experiments, and in both of those, you
40:07
try psychic abilities in ten different ways, and you try mediumship abilities in ten
40:14
different ways. At the end of the course, and when you're done,
40:19
you walk away from the course knowing if you're more psychic or more medium,
40:23
and you also walk away from the course knowing how to best hold yourself to
40:29
access your intuition. M Oh wow, it sounds really really interesting. So
40:34
then yeah, so there are going to be some people who will start communicating
40:38
with spirit then from the course, I imagine that will that will happen.
40:43
And I like that you said that it shows people where their blocks are,
40:45
because that's the biggest thing to manifesting. When people are like, oh,
40:50
I do all the things that everybody tells me to do, and I practice
40:52
and practice and nothing's coming to me. And that's because they don't realize they
40:57
have so many unconscious blocks that are blocking those things from coming into you.
41:00
I mean, if we're a magnet, we're attracting those things into our life.
41:05
You may be unconsciously blocking things because of the belief system or something that's
41:09
running, you know, in the background, like you don't even realize that's
41:13
running the show in your life, right, exactly exactly. I think my
41:17
favorite feedback from this course. I've been teaching the course since two thousand and
41:22
seven or two thousand and eight, and for many years I taught it in
41:25
person, and then I put it online a number of years ago. But
41:30
my favorite bits of feedback are the frequent feedback where people say, I took
41:37
this course to open up my intuition, and while that did happen, I
41:42
ended up leaving like finishing the course like happier than I was before. And
41:46
I'm like, yeah, because the blocks that are blocking your intuition are also
41:51
the things that are causing you distress. Yeah, And we all have intuition,
41:58
you know. That's I think again that we're born with that comes from
42:02
spirit is our intuition. And many times we don't listen to our intuition,
42:07
we shut it down. And how many times have we done that? And
42:09
that's gotten us in trouble right when you're not listening to your intuition. But
42:15
yeah, and you know it after and you're like, damn it, I
42:19
knew it, right. So I love that you're you're helping people, at
42:23
least, at minimum, trust their own intuition, right, that's what they're
42:28
getting at minimum when they do work with you. But you talk something about
42:32
which I find really fascinating, about decluttering and why you have to do that
42:39
with your intuition. I am a huge proponent of decluttering. I can't think.
42:45
I can't concentrate if my mind is cluttered, if my space is cluttered,
42:49
my life is cluttered. I have such a hard time. So can
42:52
you just share a little bit about that for everyone who's listening, is like,
42:55
I'm you know, why can't I hear what you know? My own
43:00
intuition? What's going on with me? Decluttering is huge and mental, physical,
43:06
environmental, emotional. All this declutter is it's not only freeing, but
43:12
it accesses your intuition. So yes, we all have intuition. I know
43:17
that pop cult no one's fault, right, but I do know that over
43:21
the last twenty years, pop culture has just done this party spin on how
43:27
certain people are special because they have this really strong intuition and it's really stuck
43:32
in people's minds that, oh, well, they can do what I can't.
43:35
And like I said, I'm the poster child. I'm the one that's
43:38
like, if I can do this, you can do this, you can
43:40
all do this. It is very natural. But the thing is is the
43:45
other kind of pop culture thing that's been happening for people is if they think
43:50
intuition is something that they have to either like gain or you know, get
43:57
better at or access. The truth is your intuitions already cranking at one hundred
44:00
percent. It's just covered up right, and so you have to declutter it.
44:07
Your intuition will start to pop pop open, It'll start to the doors
44:12
of it will kind of start to creak open. As long as you're in
44:15
the process of releasing something, you don't have to fix your whole life.
44:21
You just got to release something. So what blocks are intuition like? What
44:25
blocks it like? What are the common things that you find with your clients.
44:31
The common things are the overwhelming, the overwhelming tasks that you have,
44:38
the painting that's saying in your hallway that's broken, that you said you were
44:42
going to fix three months ago. That actually pulls your attention. Anything that
44:46
takes away a little bit of your energy pulls you a little bit away from
44:51
your intuition. So it can be anything from a heavy meal to undone tasks,
44:58
to dominant per sin in your life, who's not let you have your
45:01
own space, to anything like that. If if your logical in mind,
45:08
if your mental state and your humanness is overburdened, then your spirit is shadowed.
45:16
It's it's it's muddy. You can't you can't see your spirit as clearly.
45:22
So the more it's like a teeter totter on one side is your spirit,
45:25
on one side is your human So you've got a human life and a
45:29
spirit life. The spirit life is pure intuition, right, And the more
45:34
you got going on in your human life, the more that teeter totter tips
45:38
and you just can't reach that intuition. Yeah that makes sense, Yeah,
45:44
makes total sense. Yeah, I really really get that. And the older
45:50
that I get, and the more work that I do, and the more
45:52
people I talk to and the more books I read, the more just like
45:54
you know, more pennies drop like another like oh kay, I see that
46:00
now. Oh, I see that now. So I wanted to ask you
46:05
about our spirit guides. I hear people talk about, Oh, everybody has
46:09
a spirit guide. Who are the spirit guides? Do we all have them?
46:15
I know you're gonna say yes to that. And how do we connect
46:19
it with our spherit guide? And yeah, like, how do we utilize
46:22
I mean there are guide, right, we should be like utilizing them exactly?
46:29
Who are these elusive individuals? Right? So if we start before we
46:34
even come here to earth, we've got there's a on the other side.
46:38
There's a bunch of our higher selves all hanging out together. You're higher self
46:42
and my higher self all hanging out. Everyone has what's considered a soul group.
46:46
So those that are in essence kind of closest to you, your higher
46:51
selves. Yes, we all make a decision. We're gonna come down here.
46:53
We're gonna have a life together. You're gonna be my my brother,
46:55
You're gonna be my mom, You're gonna be my best friend, you're gonna
46:59
be my husband. You know you're gonna be Like, we make the decisions
47:02
and we come down now parts of our soul group. And this is just
47:08
one example of guides that can be possibilities for us, but parts other individual
47:14
other souls in our soul group that don't come down to this life can sometimes
47:19
sign up to watch over us to make sure that we hit all of our
47:22
main points here in this life. Do we ever need to talk to our
47:25
guides. No, they're guiding us. They're doing their job. They're the
47:29
teachers and the teacher lounge, and where the kids are outside the teacher lounge.
47:31
Pounded on the door, go and handle and talk to you, right,
47:35
So what I tell my students and two things in order to communicate with
47:39
your well three Number one commitment Talk to your guides every day, even if
47:45
it's a one way conversation for three minutes in the car. Hey, guides,
47:47
I just want to tell you I'm paying attention, you know, even
47:52
if it's a one way conversation. Commitment is really important. Be on the
47:57
team. Be on the team. That's that's part number two is don't the
48:02
temptation to ask them all the psychic questions, right like what are my kids
48:06
going to do when they grow up? Like, I understand that, but
48:09
they will more so answer you when when the answer helps them as well.
48:15
They have a job to watch over you and get to you where you need
48:19
to get to. So if you're asking them the question what is it you
48:22
need me to know, they're gonna go, oh, well, now you've
48:25
asked a question that I want to answer because it will help me help you
48:30
God. So think in terms of being on the team, because trust me,
48:34
I did all the questions. You know. The guy was like,
48:37
those are stupid questions. I'm like, come on, that's not true.
48:40
It is you guys, ask me something meaningful. I was like, all
48:43
right, what am I supposed to be doing? You're there? You go.
48:45
Now you're getting it. So get on the team. And then the
48:49
last thing is to defocus. If you can carve out two minutes a day
48:52
of just resting your gaze and letting the world fall away and saying to your
48:58
guides, hey, I'm right here, and you can you communicate with me.
49:01
You do that on a regular basis, and you'll start to feel them,
49:05
see them, and hear them. Oh so interesting, So you actually
49:09
hear or feel your spirit guide. Do we have more than one? I
49:15
do? Some people? Is everybody have a different amount. It just depends
49:17
on the life that you've chosen for yourself. We do. They vary.
49:23
You know, if someone tells you there's a set amount of guides it,
49:28
think twice about that guidance. But because there's no limitations on the other side,
49:32
limitations are a human thing, right, So if anyone tells you about
49:36
limitations on the other side, that's where you got to kind of back up
49:37
a little bit. But we have guides that are with us our entire life.
49:42
We have guides that are with us periodically. Guides tend to coming closer
49:46
to you and you can be more in touch with them when they are there.
49:52
For a reason, if you're going through a marriage, you divorced,
49:54
through college, learning something new, you're going to have different guides for those
50:00
different situations. Yeah, that makes sense. You said something really interesting,
50:05
and I always wondered, and maybe you can help me with this. So
50:08
I've always believed that too. It made so much sense to me that when
50:12
before we choose to incarnate, we have certain things that we're going to accomplish
50:16
in this life. Like, for example, if you want to learn how
50:20
to forgive, you're going to have a lot of betrayal because you need to
50:22
Oh, you need to learn how to forgive. So the only way to
50:25
learn how to forgive is to me betrayed, right. And then we have
50:30
our groups that we come in with, and certain people are supposed to fill
50:32
certain roles. I also know that we have free will. So let's say
50:37
you come in with another individual and you're supposed to learn a lesson together,
50:43
and that person renegged on their contract. Let's just say what because I imagine
50:52
it does happen, right like they said, Oh, I was going to
50:53
do this in this life, and then in the middle of the life they
50:57
bailed out for whatever reason. Does that spirit when they have the review,
51:01
see what happened and realize, oh, I'm going to have to try that
51:05
again in the next life kind of thing. Does my question makes sense?
51:08
Do you know what I mean? When I'm trying to ask, it doesn't
51:13
make sense. It doesn't make sense. There's really two levels of answers.
51:16
Ok, I'm going to give you a like the human level, and then
51:22
let's give you the think about this one for a while level perfect. So
51:27
the human level answer is, yeah, this happens. The choices are made.
51:32
The universe source adjusts around us to make sure that somebody else will step
51:39
in to make sure that our lesson is complete. Oh so if so,
51:45
if one person bails, you will get that lesson in a different format.
51:50
Or if, for example, you know, let's say I was in a
51:54
relationship that was like narcissistic or something, and I left just early enough to
52:00
not really learn everything. I'm probably going to have one more just finally learn
52:06
those last pieces and they're not fun. But in this lifetime, it's it's
52:12
it's a little bit more than learning. We want the experience of it as
52:15
well. Now, the upper level answer to this is that throughout your lifetime,
52:22
there is unlimited number of possibilities of paths that happen for you in every
52:29
decision you make, Meaning there is an unlimited number of of parallel lives that
52:37
you can step into with every major decision. So when you cross over and
52:42
you go through your review process, you're reviewing the exact path you completed,
52:46
but there's seven hundred gad jillion other paths that you've could have taken. Wow,
52:52
So it's mind blowing, right, yeah, yeah, So it's it's
52:59
it's tough. And you said, this is what sort of triggered me to
53:01
talk about this is when you said, you know, you came down with
53:05
the contract, but then they build on the contract. Well, there is
53:07
another lifetime that they didn't bail on the contract that you also went through.
53:13
So trying to go through all of them, but you have a stream of
53:20
consciousness on each of them. So in this stream of consciousness, you and
53:23
I are talking in a different stream of consciousness. I got home late and
53:30
missed the call right. Wow, And then all of those streams of consciousness
53:37
are all part of the review process for us. Soul. God, that's
53:40
so fascinating. I could talk to you about this forever. But we all
53:45
have a couple of minutes. Wow. That's so cool, sir. Is
53:49
there anything is about that you want to you want to leave the audience with
53:52
today before we wrap up. I really want to leave people with the with
53:58
the knowing that their intuition is as strong as what they see in other people.
54:05
They and it's accessible. It's accessible, you know. I put together
54:09
a free course and trying not to sound sales on this, sorry, but
54:15
but I actually put it together, and I want to give it to everyone,
54:19

54:22
free course. It's called the Top five Intuitive Tools. You can find it

54:34
