Hello you wonderful explorers and welcome to
0:19
another episode of The Psyche Explorer. I hope
0:22
you're well. We in the UK are only a couple of
0:25
days away from the clock changing, which means
0:28
we are springing forward, which means only one
0:31
thing is getting lighter in the evening. Now
0:34
I'm all for long dark nights by the fireside,
0:37
but I think I get to this time of year and I'm
0:39
like, right, I'm ready. I'm ready. Let's go for
0:42
it. The natural new year has begun. The spring
0:45
bulbs have been out for a while and there's more
0:47
to come. The weekend after next is Easter. Although
0:51
I put no stock in that whatsoever, it does mean
0:54
I get to eat some chocolate without being told
0:56
off, which is always quite nice. Have I got a
1:00
wonderful, and I mean this, just a beautiful
1:03
conversation for you to listen to today. Anne
1:06
-Marie Pisano is a wonderful, wonderful individual.
1:10
I met Anne -Marie in an online circle that I
1:13
started to attend a year or so back now. And
1:17
Anne -Marie just has this wonderful aura, this
1:19
feeling of wanting to look after people. That's
1:24
a feeling that I get from her. And she's so welcoming,
1:27
she's so lovely, she's so friendly. Amarie is
1:31
a developing medium but she reads Tarot primarily
1:33
and I found her on Instagram and I added her
1:36
and there was one evening where I was just scrolling
1:38
through and I saw one of Amarie's reels and it
1:43
was nine minutes long and yes it was long but
1:46
what she had to say was so full of wisdom was
1:50
so inspiring that I thought I need to reach out
1:52
to her some more and get her on the podcast so
1:55
I did that I reached out to her and Anne -Marie
1:59
very kindly agreed that she would come on and
2:01
share her story. You have already heard this
2:04
year, me talk a few times about some experiences
2:07
that I've had recently. You've heard Rob talk
2:09
about different elements and different aspects
2:11
of the soul. You've also heard Kim Charleston
2:14
talk about spirit guides and you've even heard
2:16
Kim channel her spirit guide, Monty. I want March
2:20
to sort of just be a bit of a reset. I want to
2:23
introduce more people's stories, where they began.
2:26
How they found stepping onto this psychic journey?
2:30
Was it challenging? Was it easy? Was it natural?
2:32
Was it difficult? How did they find talking to
2:36
people about this once they had come out in a
2:39
Verta Commons? I hope you find this conversation
2:44
as beautiful and as gorgeous as I do. Without
2:50
further ado, here is the wonderful Anne -Marie
2:54
Bassano. Anne -Marie, thank you so much for coming
3:06
on to this episode of The Psychic Explorer. How
3:09
the devil are you, my lovely? How are you? I'm
3:12
really good, and I'm really excited. This is
3:15
a really good opportunity. Well, I'm really honoured
3:18
that you said yes. You put out a reel a week
3:22
or two ago and it was nine minutes long and I
3:25
was really captivated by what you had to say.
3:29
The way that you experienced mediumship and spirituality
3:31
I was really captivated by. how you explain yourself.
3:35
So I really recommend listeners to go and check
3:38
out your Instagram page and we'll give all those
3:41
details at the end of the episode, but to go
3:44
and have a look and to search out that nine minute
3:48
monster reel, because it's a monster reel, but
3:50
it's really, really good. Actually, before we
3:53
get started, just quickly on that, what made
3:56
you do that? What made you put that reel together?
4:00
That's a good question. And thank you for being
4:03
the only person that listened to nine minutes
4:06
of me going on and on. No, I'm sure more did.
4:09
I'm sure more did. So I'm not a content creator.
4:15
It was just one of those moments where it was
4:19
a light bulb moment and I was having some thoughts
4:22
about where I am in my development, my mediumship
4:26
development and I just wanted to put my thoughts
4:30
together and I thought, let me just throw this
4:33
on like a video because it might be something
4:37
that I can use if someday I decide I want to
4:41
put some real content out there. And it was just
4:44
a moment where my thoughts just came together
4:46
and I just spoke from my heart. And yeah, mediumship
4:50
is a journey. I thought it was brilliant because
4:53
you were so eloquent and you did it in one take.
4:56
There were no cut scenes or anything, so you
4:58
did it all in one go. For me personally, I'm
5:00
useless at that. I need to cut everything up
5:02
into like, you know, millisecond things to make
5:05
it coherent. But every guest I've had on so far,
5:08
they've had a topic, they've had a modality that
5:11
they've been on to talk about, whether that be
5:13
trance healing, whether that be holistic healing,
5:16
whether that be running circles or tarot reading.
5:20
I want to go back to basics, and I want to find
5:24
out more about your journey, Anne -Marie. But
5:26
before we go there, can I ask you to introduce
5:29
yourself to my listeners? Certainly. My name
5:32
is Anne -Marie Pizzano. I live in New Jersey,
5:36
across the pond from you. And about three years
5:41
ago, two and a half, possibly three years ago,
5:44
I realized... In my meditations I was seeing
5:49
these eyes and looking at me and I wanted to
5:52
find out more about it and that opened up my
5:56
desire to connect with people in the spiritual
5:58
community to find out more about what these really
6:03
awesome things I was starting to experience.
6:06
And so I am a developing psychic medium. I love
6:11
tarot. It's my favorite modality. I love mediumship
6:15
too, but they're so different. One feels more
6:18
like it's for me to have fun. And the other one
6:21
feels more like I'm helping and supporting other
6:25
people in their grief and their own. desire to
6:30
make sure that their loved ones are okay and
6:32
get closure and mediumship. You and I have spoken
6:37
several times on Dana Willey's online circle
6:41
and we've read for one another online and you
6:44
always read so beautifully. Because you read
6:47
so beautifully, I was under the impression that
6:51
you have been doing this for much longer than
6:53
just two and a half, three years. So I wonder
6:56
if you wouldn't mind taking us back in time to
7:00
little Anne -Marie and can you paint a picture
7:02
of who she was, what was she like and were there
7:07
any signs of your ability back then? You know
7:10
that's a question I've been asking myself recently
7:13
because I say this didn't start for me until
7:16
like three years ago and there's a reason why
7:20
this started for me three years ago. And that's
7:22
part of the reason that I made that reel that
7:24
you were talking about. I now see there were
7:28
so many signs that I had a spiritual relationship,
7:32
that I had an ability to do psychic awareness
7:37
and find things that people were missing. And
7:40
I felt the presence of. of people's loved ones
7:44
from a very, very young age. I spent a lot of
7:47
time alone as a child. I have the world's biggest
7:50
family and I was the world's loneliest child
7:53
is how I like to describe it. From the time I
7:56
was... four as my early childhood memories. My
8:01
mother was taking care of my oldest sister who
8:05
has cerebral palsy and it was very difficult
8:09
and it was very hard and there wasn't a lot of
8:11
help for her available then and she was also
8:14
pregnant with my youngest sister and she my mother
8:17
became very ill and she was on bed rest for nine
8:20
months and my four other sisters. I have total
8:24
of, there's a total of six of us. So my other
8:27
sisters were just kind of in school already.
8:31
So they had people to help take care of them
8:34
and get them active in things where I was home
8:37
and very much alone. So I had a very, very good
8:40
imagination. People have always told me that
8:43
I'm very creative and very artistic. And so I
8:47
was kind of left to my own devices to to find
8:50
playmates and entertain myself. And I love to
8:54
do it outside. I loved flowers and I loved watching
8:58
the animals and the creatures. And I felt that
9:01
I was connecting to trees and they had a soul
9:03
and they could they could communicate with me
9:06
and I could see colors in the flowers that nobody
9:09
else could see. My husband still he laughs at
9:12
me still that I can see these colors and he has
9:14
no idea what I'm talking about. So. I was very
9:20
creative and very lonely, so I feel like that's
9:24
when this all started for me. You mentioned you
9:28
had a big family and I know from speaking to
9:30
you previously that you were raised Catholic
9:32
in an Italian -American household. I wonder how
9:36
your experience with that as a child influenced
9:38
your relationship or shaped your relationship
9:41
with spirituality today. It did affect me, but
9:44
not in the way... you would think. So my mother,
9:49
when she was coming out of school, she was raised
9:53
in a much more religious way than she raised
9:55
us, and she was going into the nunnery to become
10:00
an ordained nun. And shortly before she was supposed
10:04
to take her oath, she had an epiphany that there
10:07
was something else for her, and she decided not
10:10
to. take her oath to the faith of the Catholic
10:13
Church. And she married my dad and then they
10:16
had these six daughters. So she did raise us
10:20
Catholic. We would go to CCD Catholic, that's
10:24
a Christian class every week. And we did go to
10:27
church every Sunday and I hated it. I couldn't
10:31
understand how at home we talked about God being
10:34
this being of love and uh, in church they told
10:39
us that we were all sinners and going to hell
10:41
and It made no sense to me. It makes no sense
10:45
to me And I questioned I questioned all the things
10:49
about the bible and I felt like I believe that
10:52
there was a purpose that these stories were written
10:56
and I do believe that they're stories and I also
10:58
believe that none of them or these people are
11:01
real. I think they're supposed to be stories
11:03
about astrology and I have books and things about
11:07
that where we can discuss another day. And I
11:12
realized that church was not for me. that I believe
11:15
there was a higher power because I felt it in
11:18
my heart. I felt that love and support around
11:20
me, especially throughout my lonely and scary
11:23
times as being a child. And I kind of developed
11:28
that on my own just by meditating and listening
11:33
to this inner voice that I felt was coming from
11:36
a higher place. So I learned that religion wasn't
11:40
for me by being brought up in a Catholic family.
11:44
When you say meditating, do you mean as a child
11:47
you were meditating or does that word mean something
11:50
different to you than the traditional sitting
11:53
down and closing your eyes? Yeah, so I didn't
11:56
know I was meditating as a young child. Again,
11:59
I spent so much time alone. I used to love to
12:02
sit outside and feel the sun on my face and I
12:05
could feel things stirring in me. I just felt
12:09
so much comfort and I didn't know what it was.
12:12
I didn't know I was meditating. Now I know I
12:15
was meditating just instinctively my whole life.
12:18
So you're this little girl and you are meditating
12:22
and you are in touch with this presence and you
12:26
are curious about your spirituality. How do you
12:30
get to lose that connection? Where does that
12:33
connection go and how does that happen? Trauma,
12:38
absolute childhood trauma. I love my family.
12:43
Every Sunday we would have 30 of our intimate
12:46
family members, all my aunts and cousins. Every
12:49
Sunday we would have Sunday dinner. We had to
12:51
be home at two o 'clock or go to my aunt's house
12:54
at two o 'clock. And we would have this big feast
12:56
together. And those were my favorite days because
13:00
it just felt like everything was right. You don't
13:03
really know what's going on in people's homes
13:05
behind closed doors. My father was an alcoholic,
13:09
sometimes violent. My mother was severely depressed
13:14
and overwhelmed with taking care of a very sick
13:19
baby and a sister with cerebral palsy with no
13:23
help. She was also very violent, my sister was.
13:30
I didn't have enough direction. I didn't have
13:33
enough support. I tried to make friends, but
13:37
it wasn't like people understood why I was so
13:39
quiet. And then I just kind of lost it because
13:43
teenagers don't really know how to put their
13:47
lives together in a way that's directed without
13:50
the help of adults. and role models. And then
13:53
I got married. I was 19. I was a week before
13:57
my 20th birthday my husband and I got married.
13:59
We had dated in high school and he's a year older
14:02
so there's no way our parents would have let
14:04
us live together being Italian Catholic. So we...
14:09
Said we wanted to go create our own life together
14:12
and we got married So then I had babies right
14:15
away and I was just busy with day -to -day life
14:17
and I lost my spirituality Because I just was
14:21
trying to figure out who I was as a person We're
14:25
also living which I think it's very easy when
14:28
we go down this reawakening path It's very easy
14:32
to beat ourselves up and say oh, why didn't we
14:35
do this? Why don't we do it actually my? belief
14:37
system says that we are here to either experience
14:40
or learn lessons and we can't do those things
14:43
without living and without making mistakes. So
14:46
you were living your life. Would you mind sharing
14:49
what sparked your awakening or the moment things
14:53
for you began to shift? That's exactly how I
14:57
saw it. I was starting, when I got married so
15:00
young, I was starting to live my life for the
15:03
first time and my goal Was to love my children
15:07
and make them feel that life is special and that
15:11
they were special and so my main goal was to
15:14
be Not like my mother. I wanted to be the least
15:18
like my mother I could possibly be and I loved
15:21
being a mother. I loved every moment of it and
15:25
It healed me. It definitely started this healing
15:28
process in me that I found my self -worth and
15:30
something that I felt I was really good at. And
15:33
I remember when the kids were at four children.
15:37
And I remember, my husband and I found this meditation
15:41
center nearby and I really wanted to go because
15:45
I loved. Now I knew what meditating was and I
15:47
wanted to get back into it and find something
15:50
that was spiritual for my family, my children.
15:53
that wasn't a church and this very much fit that.
15:57
When was this? How long ago was this? Oh geez,
16:00
that was in the early 90s. Okay. Yeah, and it
16:05
was a great little community that we found there
16:07
and we would meditate with this group and the
16:11
kids would go in the kids' room and they would
16:13
play and hear stories about the way I felt spirituality
16:16
was supposed to be which is, it comes from within.
16:20
It all comes from within you. It's not external.
16:24
Anything that's external is someone else's ideas
16:27
and opinions. There's no fact to that. So this
16:30
really helped me understand that I was on the
16:32
right track. I just needed somebody to help me
16:35
put this whole thing together. And I loved it.
16:38
I loved meditating. I loved the talks that we
16:42
would have about how meditating was affecting
16:44
us. And then so we did that for a long time.
16:48
We were there probably, I think we were there
16:53
for like eight years we lived down there in another
16:56
part of the state. And then we moved. So I lost
16:58
that community. And then life with teenagers
17:01
became very hectic. And again, I had to start
17:04
living life because my kids needed me more and
17:07
they were going through some hard things and
17:10
I had to be there for them. And I gave up. doing
17:13
things for myself, so I lost my spirituality
17:17
again. Your spirituality throughout your life,
17:20
Anne -Marie, has ebbed and flowed. It's sort
17:22
of, you've gone into it, you've come back from
17:25
it, you've gone into it, you've come back from
17:26
it. How did you come to your current awakening?
17:30
I'll put it that way, because it sounds like
17:32
you've had several throughout your life, so your
17:34
current awakening, what brought you to that?
17:36
I know exactly when that happened. So 2020, the
17:41
year the world got hit with COVID, I have severe
17:46
asthma. And my pulmonologist told me when this
17:50
thing hit our area, he told me not to leave my
17:53
house. He said, you won't survive this. We have
17:56
nothing to help you. We don't understand it yet.
17:58
And if possible, you just need to hunker down
18:02
and wait this thing out. And I fortunately work
18:06
remotely. I work from home. So My kids weren't
18:10
living at home at that. They have all moved out
18:14
since then. Flat the nest? Yeah. And I was fortunate
18:19
that I was able to just stay home. And my husband
18:24
was very patient and understanding of my need
18:26
to just not leave the house. So for a year and
18:30
a half until the vaccination came out and there
18:33
was medicines that were helping patients, I literally
18:36
did not leave my house. I feared for my life
18:39
and it became overwhelming. I was having severe
18:41
anxiety. I was so afraid this thing was going
18:44
to get me. I didn't even go to a grocery store.
18:47
I would go outside and get some fresh air and
18:50
I would come back in and I started to remember.
18:53
how much meditating again, meditating helped
18:56
me. It helped me when I was feeling anxious and
18:59
lonely and depressed and I was having all of
19:01
that at this time. So I just started meditating
19:04
again and I just every day I would go sit outside
19:07
at lunch and because the sun is my favorite place.
19:11
Meditating in the sun is just the most beautiful
19:14
thing I could feel as a human being and I would
19:18
go outside and I would meditate and I started
19:22
to feel better and then 20 minutes turned into
19:25
30 minutes and 30 minutes turned into 40 minutes
19:28
and then I was just meditating an hour every
19:30
day and then there were days where I could just
19:33
sit out there and just not even watch the clock
19:36
and I could sit out there for hours because the
19:40
weather got warmer and I would punch out of work
19:43
early I could get my work done and I'd be able
19:45
to punch out of work early and I could sit there
19:48
for hours and I just started to feel so different.
19:55
Like there was this spark in me that started
19:57
to come back and I started to trust that I was
19:59
going to be okay. And I started getting back
20:04
out there and seeing people and going to restaurants
20:07
again. And I just felt safe and I knew I was
20:11
going to be okay. And I trusted that medicines
20:14
were coming in and In my meditations, I started
20:19
to see these eyes, and they were blinking at
20:22
me, and the eyes would move, and they were different
20:24
colors and shapes. It wasn't just like I was
20:26
seeing an eye, like a picture of an eye. And
20:29
I was like, why am I seeing these eyes, and why
20:34
do they look so real? Like, this is just, I don't
20:37
know what this is, but I knew there was something
20:39
to it. And I had met a psychic on TikTok. I had
20:44
just... started an account on TikTok at that
20:47
time. And I booked a session with her. She said
20:51
she could channel. And I was really curious about
20:55
that. And when I met with her, she told me things
20:58
about myself that she could not have Googled,
21:01
she could not have seen on Facebook, and I knew
21:04
she was legit because... She was speaking to
21:07
me. She was looking at the inside of me. And
21:10
I asked her, I said, I'm meditating and I'm seeing
21:13
these eyes. Can you tell me what what's going
21:15
on? She's like, oh, your guides are saying that
21:19
you're a medium and you're just you're looking
21:21
too close to them. They want you to pull out.
21:24
And I just thought this is the most stupid nonsense
21:27
I've ever heard of in my life. I love the honesty.
21:33
This is all rubbish. Little rubbish. Rubbish.
21:38
And I just laughed at her. And I said, no, I'm
21:41
not a medium. And she's like, no, they're telling
21:43
me you are. You've opened up a channel. And you
21:47
just need to pull out. You need to pull back
21:49
and you'll be able to see their faces. And I
21:51
just thought, she's crazy. And I'm crazy for
21:54
even thinking that this is real. But a part of
21:56
me was like, you know what? I have my whole life
22:00
I have felt that I was psychic. People would
22:04
lose things. I had a friend that lost his eyeglasses.
22:06
We were on a canoe trip and his glasses fell.
22:10
off his head into the water. And this stream
22:13
was moving. It was swift and moving. Everybody,
22:17
we were with a group of people. Everybody started
22:19
like feeling around and I'm like, no, something
22:22
was telling me to go the complete opposite way.
22:24
And I just started walking and I stopped, I don't
22:28
know, like 20, 30 feet away from where the boats
22:31
were. And I just padded with my foot and all.
22:35
grabbed something with my toes and I pulled it
22:37
up and it was his glasses. And they were like,
22:40
how did you find them? I said, something told
22:42
me that I needed to go look over there. And I
22:45
have found people's jewelry in a field, like
22:48
a big baseball field when we were playing. I
22:51
could find a piece of jewelry in the grass on
22:54
a big field. I've always been able to do things
22:57
like that. I need to book you for when my other
23:00
half loses his keys because it's constant. Sorry,
23:05
let me just get Anne -Marie on the phone, but
23:06
one minute. Yeah, I have an ability to find things
23:13
that are important. There has to be like a sense
23:15
of urgency. I, you know, on TikTok I'll go on
23:19
and people will be doing the, they hold a crystal
23:22
or something in their hand and they're like,
23:23
okay, tell me what I'm holding. And I have no
23:26
connection to that. It's an inanimate object
23:28
and I cannot feel it. There has to be. an emotional
23:32
or sentimental connection. And that's what works
23:35
for me. So I feel like I've always had this ability,
23:38
but I just didn't know it was something I could
23:41
tune into and develop. So I continued meditating
23:43
and I was like, OK, is this real? I'm going to
23:46
try to like bring these eyes in and zoom out.
23:51
And the first time I made a real connection,
23:54
this was right after 2020. This was like probably
23:56
the end of 2021. My husband and I were going
24:01
to meet some friends at a restaurant to see a
24:04
soccer game and I said, okay I'm gonna sit here
24:08
and meditate before we go and I'm gonna ask My
24:11
guides to show me who the server is. I want to
24:14
see show me what the server looks like when we
24:17
get to the bar And it took me like five, maybe
24:21
10 minutes. And I got a clear picture, as clear
24:24
as a video could possibly be. Wasn't just a foggy
24:27
image like we get in mediumship. And I saw this
24:32
young man with dark hair and he was handsome.
24:35
It was short and he had blue eyes and he was
24:39
wearing a dark blue polo shirt and I was like...
24:42
I see a young man. I couldn't wait to get to
24:46
the restaurant to see if that was going to be
24:48
my server. So we get in the restaurant, and we
24:51
pop those two seats up at the bar next to our
24:54
friends. And the bartender comes over and asks
24:58
us what we want to drink. And he looked nothing
25:01
like the young man I saw in my little vision.
25:03
And I was like, OK, so much for that. and the
25:08
game came on and we ordered a beer and then we
25:12
started to get hungry so we ordered some lunch
25:14
and I'm talking to my friend next to me and over
25:18
my shoulders this hand comes and puts a plate
25:20
of food down and I turned to say thank you and
25:24
it was the person I saw in my my vision and I
25:28
my mouth just dropped and I said oh my god and
25:32
he looked at me and he's like are you okay I'm
25:33
like I know you And my husband's looking at me,
25:40
and I'm like, never mind. Never mind, never mind.
25:45
And I was just so excited. To the T, he looked
25:48
exactly the way I saw. And that was it. I was
25:51
determined from that point on that maybe I am
25:55
a medium. Maybe there is something here. And
25:58
that's when I started my development. I think
26:01
that's a really interesting story because that
26:03
says so many things on so many levels. We, as
26:06
mediums and psychics, have this expectation of
26:09
ourselves, at least I do, of my own self, that
26:12
we need to be spot on. You can be spot on, but
26:16
not in the way you think you are. Yeah, and...
26:19
That's why I love that you're doing this podcast
26:22
because it really dispels the truths about what
26:26
it's like to be a psychic medium and especially
26:29
a beginner. That's why I wanted to do this because
26:31
I'm not a professional. I'm not the world's best
26:34
reader. I do a good reading. I can connect, but
26:38
I feel like there's so many more people who are
26:41
just like me, like fascinated by the spirit world.
26:46
Kind of thinking maybe I can do this but you
26:48
don't know how to get started and I just want
26:51
you all to know you can You can you don't have
26:54
to be born with this. That is such a mistruth
27:10
So much of what Anne -Marie is saying here is
27:12
ringing true to me. We all have it. We all do.
27:15
I truly believe that. But I do also think that
27:17
a lot of us wait for permission from someone
27:20
else before we actually accept it. I wonder how
27:25
much of this story is resonating with you. You
27:27
can reach out to me at the .psychic .explorer,
27:31
Facebook, Instagram, and threads. I would love
27:33
to hear from you and I'd love to hear what impact
27:36
this episode is having on you. You can also find
27:39
Anne -Marie at Instagram. Her tarot Instagram
27:43
is Anne -Marie. That's A -N -N -E -M -A -R -I
27:47
-E underscore tarot. I will put all of her details
27:50
in the show notes for you though. Okay, enough
27:53
promotion. Let's get back to this wonderful conversation
27:56
with Anne -Marie Persano. So before your awakening,
28:07
Anne -Marie, what was your perception of psychic
28:09
and mediumship work? I was always fascinated
28:12
by the psychic world. And in my family's falling
28:17
out with religion, my mother tried to bring some
28:21
new age kind of thinking. And it was all very
28:23
new at that time. We're talking, you know, the
28:26
70s and the 80s. It was all very new and different
28:30
thinking. And we tried to... connect with people
28:36
that had more of a psychic and new age kind of
28:39
thinking and some of it resonated for me some
28:42
of it didn't and Resignated did I just say resonated
28:46
resonated? Some of it resonated and some of it
28:53
didn't and And I'm glad I'm glad that I learned
28:58
to trust my own instincts, because I'm seeing
29:01
too many people trying to get into the spirit
29:04
world, and they're taking everything, every person
29:07
they see on TikTok or in books or videos, they're
29:10
taking everything they say as these people have
29:14
some sort of power in Bible that I don't and
29:17
I'm going to believe them. And don't do that.
29:20
Don't do trust yourself. This is inner work.
29:23
It's not external work. And I really loved trying
29:29
to figure out what was real for me and what wasn't
29:31
and I started going to we have a spiritual shop
29:38
in this cute little town where I live and they
29:42
had circles where you could participate in a
29:45
circle and There's like a crystal bowl meditation,
29:51
which is my favorite I actually want to get a
29:54
set of bowls and They would ring the bowls and
29:58
each bowl stimulates a different chakra in your
30:02
body. And boy, the things that you can experience
30:06
in that session is just mind blowing. And it
30:10
really is a way to open up your awareness. And
30:14
I would go to the crystal bowl meditations and
30:17
I would go to these. Sessions where there were
30:21
psychics there and they were talking and I'm
30:24
like god. I wish I could be psychic I wish I
30:26
could do that and they would do mediumship readings
30:29
and I just thought this this is it this is the
30:33
spiritual world that I'm looking for and I Loved
30:37
it, but none of them ever said that you could
30:39
be taught this they all said that they were born
30:41
with it and I wanted more I wanted more I wanted
30:45
to learn more I started reading books, you know
30:48
from Gandhi and all of these beautiful spiritual
30:52
leaders, and I just thought how lucky they were.
30:56
I didn't think how lucky I am that I could open
31:01
this. I didn't know it was something I could
31:02
develop. So for you it was almost something unobtainable.
31:07
You're something you admired and something you
31:10
sought and something you had felt connection
31:13
to, but it was unobtainable to actually put yourself
31:17
in that same position. Exactly. And now we know
31:23
different. Now we know different. It's for everyone.
31:29
Honestly, I strongly believe that everyone has
31:31
this within them. It's just a case of how deep
31:34
is it buried. Some people it's buried really
31:37
deeply, other people it's just a scratch beneath
31:40
the surface. It's so true. And it's not a straight
31:44
line. It's a roller coaster, and it's a windy
31:48
road, and there's forks in the road, and 100
31:52
% of this is personal development. 100 % of this
31:56
work is your own personal growth and healing.
32:00
And the icing on the cake is that you open up
32:03
spiritually. But it's not a straight road. It's
32:07
different for everyone. as your own journey has
32:10
showed, the ebbs and flows, you know, you will
32:12
go into it, you will come back from it, you will
32:14
go into it, you will come back from it. I've
32:16
got one friend who, she's been doing this for
32:19
years and she says every few years she goes right
32:22
into it and then just life takes over and she
32:25
comes back from it, but there's always that connection,
32:27
there's always still that connection. It sounds
32:31
to me, Anne -Marie, And from what you're saying
32:34
here, that you've always had this connection.
32:35
This has not been something you have hidden.
32:37
It's not been something that has been sort of
32:40
shamed out of you. You've always been quite open.
32:44
When you went to find this meditation community,
32:49
it sounds like you and your husband were involved
32:51
in that and the kids were involved in it as well
32:54
to a certain extent. The question I've got here
32:57
is how do friends and family respond to you when
33:00
you began developing your abilities? I would
33:02
imagine your husband was open to it and good
33:05
with it. How about other members of the family
33:10
and other friends who aren't so open to this?
33:15
You can cue the crickets chirping right here.
33:20
I was shocked. I was really shocked. came out
33:24
of my little woo closet immediately to my family.
33:28
My husband then that first moment till now and
33:32
into the future, he totally supports me. He loves
33:36
this for me. He sees how it's helping me heal
33:40
and grow and change. And I'm finding my purpose
33:44
again after my losing my kids, right? They left
33:47
the house and I was being a mother was the most
33:50
important work I've ever done in my life. And
33:53
I lost that. And this came to me at a time when
33:56
I was so lonely and it changed me. And my husband
34:00
loves it. He asks me questions. He loves hearing
34:03
about my readings and the work that I'm doing
34:06
and the lessons that my mentors teach me. And
34:10
I'm like, I'm going to tell everybody, I'm going
34:13
to tell everybody that this is amazing and they
34:15
can do it too. And it was like crickets chirping.
34:21
Growing up. and going to these meditation circles
34:25
and going to these spiritual circles and these
34:30
mediumship circles, my sisters were there with
34:33
me and I thought they're going to be so excited,
34:36
like I'm doing this, and I don't think they believe
34:39
me. My one sister does. She's the only one that...
34:43
asks me questions and how's everything going
34:45
that's so she's like you you're changing so much
34:48
i can see you're so peaceful and you're so calm
34:50
now and um she asks questions so i was afraid
34:55
to tell my friends i thought oh boy what are
34:58
they gonna think right how you how do you know
35:02
somebody your whole life and now all of a sudden
35:05
they're telling you oh they're a psychic medium
35:07
they talk to dead people and you know it's Sounds
35:11
really cringe and like you're losing your mind
35:14
and then last year we went away we do a vacation
35:18
with our friends every year and My one friend
35:21
started talking about somebody she lost and I
35:25
was just nodding my head and by the answers I
35:27
was giving her she's like you were helping me
35:30
so much like with my grief like how do you know
35:33
all this and I was like Okay, this is one of
35:37
my good friends. I'm I'm going for it. I'm gonna
35:40
just say this right now and I said it and They
35:46
were both like, oh my god, you are really what
35:50
did you say? What were the words you used? I
35:55
Said you don't know this but I've been developing
35:58
as a psychic medium the last couple years and
36:01
my ability to channel people's loved ones that
36:05
have passed on and to be accurate in with getting
36:09
information psychically about people issues that
36:12
they're having in their life is really starting
36:14
to progress for me and I'm I'm doing practice
36:17
readings with people that I know nothing about
36:20
and they're telling me that I'm very accurate
36:22
and it's very helpful and my one friend who I'm
36:27
very close with, she's like, oh, I would love
36:29
it if you could, you know, bring my dad in. And
36:31
I was like, I can't, I can't read you because
36:34
I know everything about your dad. What can I
36:36
tell you that you know? I don't, I already know
36:41
this, right? Like, and she, she's like, oh, I
36:45
get it. So that like helped them understand,
36:47
like, we need to tell you things that you know
36:49
about them, not me. So they were very interested,
36:53
very, very interested. And actually, this is
36:59
a really good story, Matt. It was around this
37:02
time last year. I was in a practice circle working
37:06
with a medium who does not know me, does not
37:09
know anything about me. And she started talking
37:11
about this man. And I'm like, I know you're connected,
37:15
but... I don't know who this person is. I can
37:19
feel your power, right? We feel each other's
37:21
power when we're reading. I said, but I don't
37:23
know this person. And I'm thinking, and I'm thinking,
37:25
I'm like, is this an old neighbor? Like, who
37:27
could this possibly be? And the more she kept
37:30
going on, I was like, I know who this is. I said,
37:34
give me one second. I have to Google to see if
37:37
this person has passed on. I haven't spoken to
37:40
this person in a long time. And I did. I found
37:44
out that my father -in -law passed a couple weeks
37:46
earlier and my husband hadn't talked to his father
37:50
in many years. He lost connection with his family
37:53
and I didn't know and I found out in a practice
37:58
circle and she was so accurate and he came through
38:02
with an apology, an apology to me and he came
38:05
through with an apology to my husband. I was
38:08
not prepared for that moment. Was definitely
38:11
not prepared that I had to be the one to tell
38:13
my husband that his father passed away and nobody
38:16
in his family had told him and I actually talked
38:20
to Matt and Dana about it because I was just
38:23
in tears after this session and they really helped
38:28
me and they said how blessed, how lucky you are
38:32
that you get to be the one to tell your husband
38:34
this, the person he loves and trusts the most
38:37
in the whole world instead of finding out through
38:39
a friend of a friend or on Facebook or social
38:42
media and that's what gave me the strength to
38:46
sit down with him that night and tell him. We
38:49
had a beautiful talk after that. I told them
38:51
this story, I told my friends this story, and
38:54
they just were fascinated that that's how real
38:56
this is, right? That's how real this is. There's
38:59
so much healing and closure and comfort and questions
39:03
that can be answered and I love it. Okay, Anne
39:08
-Marie, you have told us so many stories so far
39:11
and they are all wonderful. I think it's really
39:14
why I wanted to have you on because I want to
39:16
get back to what this podcast is all about. It's
39:19
about the honest experience of people finding
39:23
their power and stepping into their mediumship.
39:25
And I think your stories that you've told us
39:28
and your journey has been fascinating. I wonder,
39:33
now you look back on it, now you are really stepping
39:36
into your own power and taking the bull by the
39:40
horns, as my mum used to say. What would you
39:44
change about your development, if anything at
39:47
all? Wow, that's such a good question. On one
39:52
hand I want to say I wouldn't change anything
39:55
because I needed to have these ups and downs
39:59
and different paths splitting in front of me
40:02
and questions and I wouldn't change it because
40:07
it taught me to trust myself and it taught me
40:10
to be less reliant. on the opinions of other
40:14
people. It taught me how to set boundaries with
40:19
people. And just because somebody may be well
40:23
-liked in the spiritual community, it doesn't
40:26
mean that they're your cup of tea and there may
40:29
be a little bit of vinegar there. It's okay to
40:32
set those boundaries and be selfish, because
40:36
people think being selfish is such a bad thing,
40:39
but it's not. It's self -care. Being selfish
40:42
can be the self -care that you needed to learn
40:45
that you have to take care of yourself because
40:48
nobody else is going to. I'm always going to
40:51
be in development. I don't know if I'll ever
40:54
do this professionally. It would be nice, right?
40:56
Of course, it would be nice to achieve something
40:59
out of this, but I'm getting what I need out
41:02
of it. And it's my own personal development.
41:06
It's my healing with myself. It's my healing
41:08
with my family. It's my... connection to the
41:12
spirit world and really believing that this is
41:15
this really is our purpose is to find ourselves
41:18
and find our way and connecting in the spirit
41:21
world is how we're supposed to do it and To trust
41:25
that it all comes from within it's not external.
41:28
It's not the books It's not what other people
41:30
tell you what it is. It's your own experience
41:33
that happens within you I don't think I would
41:36
change what I've done. I've made mistakes. I've
41:40
trusted the wrong people. But the majority of
41:44
the people that I have met and now consider to
41:47
be good friends who are doing this work with
41:49
me and I'm supporting them and cheering them
41:52
on and they're supporting me and cheering me
41:54
on, I wouldn't change it. I love them all. You
42:00
just touched upon whether you want to do this
42:02
professionally or not and I wonder... Do you
42:05
have a sense of where you want this to take you?
42:07
Do you have a sense of where you want your mediumship
42:09
to take you or are you happy to follow the road
42:12
wherever it might take you? I'm definitely just
42:16
going to follow the road. I feel like I don't
42:19
know where the road is going to take me. I'm
42:22
just trusting that... My journey is only just
42:25
beginning, two and a half years later. I'm still
42:28
not at a point where I can make that decision.
42:30
I love doing mediumship readings. My psychic
42:34
awareness is really starting to blossom, and
42:37
I'm getting really good evidence and feedback
42:40
from my clients that I'm helping them in those
42:43
areas of their lives. I would, yes, I would love
42:47
to do this professionally, but only if I feel
42:50
there's value in them. And right now my readings
42:53
are still kind of choppy. You know, some people
42:57
I have a really beautiful connection with and
42:59
others, it just feels like so -so. And I love
43:03
telling people that when I do a reading, like
43:05
if I do a psychic tarot reading for someone and
43:08
they're like, can you, you know, I have these
43:10
questions and can you look at this and this?
43:12
And I will, and I'll just be like, just kind
43:14
of feels like nothing's changing right now. And
43:16
I know that's disappointing when you book a psychic
43:19
tarot reading. You have these questions and somebody's
43:23
telling you, yeah, nothing's, nothing's changing,
43:26
not for a while. And that could be disappointing,
43:28
but it's the truth, right? Yeah. So we all have
43:33
those periods in our life where things are just
43:36
kind of stale and flat and nothing's really changing
43:39
and things are still the same. So every time
43:42
you get a psychic terror reading, it doesn't
43:44
mean, wow, wonder what they're going to tell
43:46
me what's coming. Most likely. It's more of the
43:50
same. Yeah, absolutely. You said a moment ago
43:54
that you find that some of your readings are
43:57
a bit choppy. I wonder who finds them choppy?
44:01
Does the sitter tell you that they're choppy
44:03
or is this something that you just feel that
44:05
they are and you're just not happy with your
44:08
performance that day but actually that sitter
44:11
has gone away with something maybe? That's a
44:14
really good point. It's definitely me. There's
44:19
some readings that I do and like my my special
44:23
spice I feel like my clear sentience is my strongest
44:26
clarability and I love when I can really feel
44:31
this souls how they felt about the people in
44:34
their life or how they felt about their hobbies
44:36
or how they felt about the world that they lived
44:39
in and how they felt about themselves and I,
44:42
that's my favorite because nobody can Google
44:45
that information. And it really brings to heart
44:48
what their person was like and makes them feel
44:51
like their person really is present in this reading,
44:54
you know, getting dates and names. I get those,
44:59
but they just feel kind of flat. And I don't
45:01
know why people are so impressed by, wow, she
45:04
gave me his birthday because I told you how they
45:07
felt about you. And to me, like, That's the best
45:11
part of a reading. You get to have that closure
45:14
and you know how they felt about you. And you
45:17
also, if you had done something that you wanted
45:19
to apologize for, you now get evidence that they
45:23
know why you did something or said something
45:25
the way you did. And there's this little bit
45:28
of healing that happens. The person having a
45:31
blue car and blue eyes and their birth date,
45:36
those are fun facts. but I don't see there's
45:40
any opportunity for healing and closure and getting
45:44
those little facts. So they're good support evidence
45:47
of getting a thorough reading. So when I say
45:49
choppy, I feel like the days where I really feel
45:52
somebody's heart and soul of what mattered to
45:55
them and who mattered to them, those are my best
45:59
ratings. And if I could have every reading be
46:02
like that, I would quit my job today and be a
46:05
professional psychic medium. I think it's a really
46:08
good example of how no one medium is the same
46:11
because for me to be able to pull through that
46:13
evidence of they had a blue card or a date or
46:17
a specific name to me that is like gold that's
46:22
like wow I totally get what you're saying because
46:25
I love having those heart -to -heart readings
46:27
as well and I find that my oracle card readings
46:30
they do tend to be more heartfelt and more emotional
46:34
now I think about I put myself in the sister's
46:37
position. If I'm doubting, if I'm skeptical,
46:40
I want to know proof that this person is talking
46:42
about stuff that there's no way they should know.
46:46
So for me, to be able to bring through that evidence
46:48
is key, but it needs to come with a message.
46:53
It needs to come with that emotional message
46:55
as well, so that once you're like, okay, great,
46:58
yes, that this person is here because they're
47:00
saying the stuff that proves they're here. But
47:03
that's empty without any emotional message. Yeah.
47:07
And it's all important. Every piece of evidence
47:10
a soul brings through is important. They're bringing
47:13
it through for a reason. And as a medium, we
47:16
have to trust that saying that blue car may not
47:19
mean anything to us. Like, that just sounds so
47:22
mundane and boring. But when you see the person's
47:25
reaction, I did a reading. And the only piece
47:29
of evidence I got, I had this lovely young woman.
47:33
I was doing spirit -led. I was just bringing
47:34
any spirit forward. And I connected. I got a
47:38
little bit of his body, like what he looked like,
47:41
just a tiny little bit. And she's like, yeah,
47:44
he looked like that. I know who that is. And
47:47
I said, OK. I said, I feel very fatherly. I feel
47:50
very protective of you. And she said, yes. And
47:53
I knew this was her father at that point. I just
47:57
had my eyes closed. I said, I'm so sorry. I'm
48:00
not really getting anything. The only thing I'm
48:02
getting is he's showing me an orange hat. And
48:06
that was it. She broke down in tears and grabbed
48:09
her heart. And she just sobbed uncontrollably.
48:12
And then I completely lost my connection. And
48:15
I just said, I'm so sorry. I'm just not bringing
48:17
anything through. I felt like I was starting
48:19
to connect. And she said, Anne Marie, that's
48:22
the only thing that I wanted today. I knew you
48:25
were real and that you had my father if you just
48:28
said orange hat. And that's when I learned to
48:31
just trust that the evidence is for our sitter,
48:36
it's not for us. Excellent story. And what I
48:41
said a moment ago before is not to put evidence
48:44
on a pedestal. It's just to highlight the difference
48:48
in mediumship and the difference every single
48:51
reader brings to the table. I think, and that's
48:55
what I love about it, everyone's different. Also
48:57
just highlights that not every sitter is going
49:00
to gel or blend with their reader. You need to
49:05
connect with your person. And sometimes we don't
49:10
do that with our sitters and with the readers
49:12
and they need to be on our level. Yeah. You know,
49:17
we met in Matt and Dana's circle. And I'm so
49:21
grateful I started with them because everything
49:24
that they've taught me has come true. And I just
49:28
learned to trust that I was in good hands and
49:30
they weren't taking me down some path that wasn't
49:34
meant for me. And over the last two years, I
49:36
have really learned to just trust that they know.
49:39
They know because they've done it. They know
49:41
because they help other people do this. I lost
49:45
my train of thought. They support, and they are,
49:49
by the way, they are not sponsoring this podcast,
49:51
but I will, we will give them a good plug. I
49:55
thoroughly, thoroughly recommend them as mediums
49:57
and as trainers, but yeah, they know their stuff.
50:02
Again, it's mediumship with heart, it's heart,
50:05
it comes from the soul, it comes from within,
50:08
doesn't it? Yeah, the heart part is really the
50:11
core of how they teach. Okay, a couple more questions.
50:16
Let's have a look here. So one of the questions
50:18
I want to ask you, and I haven't given you this
50:20
question yet, so I'm going to bring it on you
50:22
if that's all right, Anne -Marie. Did you ever
50:25
want to stop? And if you did, what kept you going?
50:29
I have never wanted to stop. Absolutely have
50:34
never wanted to stop. But there were points over
50:37
the last two and a half years. where I had some
50:41
personal issues going on in my home life that
50:44
broke me and I lost my ability to connect and
50:48
I had to trust that they were just giving me
50:51
a break to connect with the spirit world because
50:54
I had bigger things to focus on at home. And
50:59
I was so worried I was never going to get my
51:04
ability back to do this. It was scary. Living
51:08
life again. Living life again, you know this
51:12
can be all -consuming and it's very easy to get
51:16
Into the your headspace of go to mediumship go
51:20
do it go do it. But actually we are here to live
51:22
life Yeah, and that's something I want to talk
51:25
about in a future episode about taking a break
51:27
and I think that's really important to Highlight
51:30
as well as anyone who is coming into their development
51:33
that they may not think they want to but one
51:36
day they will want to take a break and they will
51:39
need to take a break and just take a step back
51:42
to just appreciate how far they've come and again
51:46
to live life. Yeah it's there's a balance there
51:49
there's definitely a balance there and the breaks
51:52
are good because when you do come back it it
51:55
feels like the begin again and There's this newness
51:59
and you feel this love and support from the spirit
52:02
world that they're excited to have you back in
52:05
their presence again. And it's lovely. The breaks
52:08
are hard, but they're good. And take them. Yeah.
52:13
Okay, I know you're a tarot girl, but I know
52:15
you're into your crystals or anything like that,
52:18
but do you have any rituals or practices which
52:21
you use or you do to stay connected? So I like
52:27
to tell people I'm a mundane medium Remember
52:32
from our chat before you said the mundane medium
52:35
I was gonna say you are anything but mundane
52:37
No, I don't have any type of rituals. I started
52:43
saging, you know my room and I started putting
52:46
crystals on my deck and I just realized you don't
52:52
need any of that. You don't need to do anything
52:55
that's ritualistic. If it makes you feel good,
52:58
fine. But if you're using it thinking, I have
53:00
to cleanse my deck and I have to sage my room
53:03
and I have to meditate with crystals and make
53:07
moon water and all that fun woo -woo stuff, it's
53:12
not necessary. I don't do anything. Moon water,
53:16
I've not come across this. I've never heard of
53:20
it. You put a glass of water out in the moonlight
53:23
and it's supposed to give you moon energy. Oh,
53:27
right, okay. I don't know. Sounds fantastic,
53:30
doesn't it? I've not heard that one yet. Blimey.
53:33
Can I get mine on the rocks? Distilled moon water.
53:41
No, I don't do anything with rituals. Your intention
53:44
is all you need. The spirit world knows your
53:47
intention. And sometimes in the middle reading,
53:50
I will grab a second deck where I'll just decide,
53:54
like, I want to use this other deck for some
53:55
reason. You know, I don't know. I don't believe
54:01
that you need to do anything. And I'm the biggest
54:04
skeptical of pendulums. Hang that pendulum on
54:09
a rod. And if it moves by itself, then I'll believe
54:12
it. But when you're holding it in your hand,
54:14
you're moving it. I'm sorry, but you're moving
54:17
it. In a previous episode I was saying, I think
54:19
it was in the sexuality and the spirituality,
54:22
the one where I was talking with Delana Luna
54:24
and I was saying to her that there's so much
54:28
competition and so much stuff within the spiritual
54:32
community where some people say yes, they swear
54:34
by it, other people say no, it doesn't work.
54:36
There's so much stuff within it that you don't
54:40
need to take it all. You just take what sits
54:42
with you. Some people might not even... Tarot
54:46
cards, Oracle cards might not resonate with them,
54:49
but something like a pendulum or moon water might.
54:54
But yeah, it's just about what works for you,
54:56
isn't it? Yeah, do it. I mean, if it makes you
54:58
feel good and you're having fun, do it. Do it.
55:01
Get your Ouija boards out, right? But Ameri wants
55:04
proof. I want the proof. I want the proof. I've
55:08
said this to other mediums before. When you play
55:11
with a Ouija board and you're both blindfolded,
55:15
and it makes sense, the thing moving, the planchette
55:17
moving around, if you can make a cohesive message
55:21
out of that, then I'll believe it. But do it
55:23
blindfolded. So I wonder what your thoughts are
55:28
on something like dowsing rods. No. That's a
55:32
no. Really? No. Interesting. Same thing. Their
55:38
hands are still moving. There's something about
55:41
the warmth of your hand on copper where it's
55:44
heating up and that's why you don't put boiling
55:47
water down your kitchen sink because the pipe
55:50
will seize up because it can't take the heat.
55:53
So I just, I don't know. No, I don't believe
55:56
them. All right. Final question for you, Anne
56:00
-Marie. What advice would you give to someone
56:04
who is just about to step into their abilities
56:07
and begin their exploration? Get off of social
56:12
media. Use your discernment. Don't just trust
56:16
somebody because they sound like they're a professional
56:20
and they sound like they know more. And if they're
56:23
telling you things that bring fear, they're not
56:27
speaking from spirit. Spirit is love. And if
56:31
it doesn't make you feel loved and supported,
56:34
then they're not real, they're not telling you
56:36
truth. And meditate because the answers, this
56:40
is internal work, the answers come through your
56:43
meditation and your development with your own
56:47
spirit guides or angels or whatever you want
56:49
to call your support system. It comes from there
56:54
and it comes from that relationship that you
56:56
build with them. I love my mentors, I love all
56:59
of them. I have four that I work with, five that
57:02
I work with. And I love them and I trust them
57:06
because they're making me trust myself. They're
57:09
helping me learn to trust myself. And I don't
57:13
agree with everything they say, so I just take
57:16
what's working for me. And some of them have
57:18
opposing opinions on some things, and I'm okay
57:23
with that. And I think that they would both applaud
57:25
me for setting those boundaries and not taking
57:29
everything they say. Yes, this may have worked
57:32
for them, but this is also working for me with
57:35
this one, so I'm kind of blending my own cup
57:38
of tea here. Oh, I like that phrase. Don't just
57:41
follow one person. Trust your instincts. Thank
57:45
you so much for doing this today, Anne -Marie,
57:46
or today for you, tonight for me. Thank you so,
57:49
so much. Where can people find you? My Instagram
57:55
is AnneMarieTaro, Anne with an E, AnneMarie,
57:58
i .e. Taro, like the cards. You can find me there.
58:02
You can also find me on TikTok the same way.
58:05
I'm not much of a creator. I'm hoping as time
58:09
and experience grows, I will definitely start
58:12
to speak more out in public. Doing this podcast
58:17
is a first step for me of putting myself out
58:19
there, but... Thank you for inviting me. I always
58:23
love talking to you. I love when we get to work
58:25
together in our practice circles, and I love
58:29
this podcast. I love the message that you're
58:31
putting out there for people. Oh, bless you.
58:33
That means the hell of a lot, Anne -Marie. Thank
58:34
you so much. Are you doing bookings? If people
58:37
want to make a booking with you for your tarot
58:39
or for your mediumship, are your books open?
58:43
How is that working at the moment? Yes, my books
58:46
are open. I have two types of tarot readings
58:49
that I offer. One is like if you just have a
58:51
couple of questions and you want to just like
58:53
get right to the part of your questions. It's
58:57
more of a basic psychic tarot reading. The other
58:59
one is more spirit -led, where I'm just going
59:03
to do a full spread. It's like a 12 -card spread.
59:07
And if mediumship, I feel drawn to mediumship,
59:10
I'll combine that in also. And then I have my
59:14
mediumship readings. And those are free right
59:16
now. I may start charging a small amount of money
59:19
because the amount of people that just don't
59:21
show up and, you know. I give a lot of my time.
59:25
I take this work very seriously and just show
59:28
up. Just please show up. So my mediumship readings
59:32
are free and I have two. I have just a general
59:36
spirit -led type of session and I also do pet
59:39
mediumship, which is my favourite. I love to
59:42
do pet mediumship. Okay, right. Tell me more.
59:46
What is this and what does this involve? So it's
59:49
actually an animal companion. Reading if you
59:53
have lost any type of animal companion and you'd
59:56
like to get a message from them I can bring them
1:00:00
through the same way we do in mediumship where
1:00:02
they will show me how they looked, what type
1:00:07
of animal they are, their favorite food, their
1:00:10
little quirky habits, a cat that has a snaggle
1:00:15
tooth. And I've brought through some strange
1:00:18
animals and unexpectedly, where these are also
1:00:21
spirit led, I don't want to know what kind of
1:00:23
animal, because you're very limited to what...
1:00:26
type of information you can pull. So getting
1:00:29
the species right is the first thing that I can
1:00:32
do for you is tell you what kind of species of
1:00:35
animal I have. So of course I've done cats and
1:00:38
I've done dogs and I've done a ferret. I've had
1:00:41
a ferret come through. I had two horses. That
1:00:45
was an amazing experience to feel what a horse
1:00:48
feels like and what they think. the things that
1:00:53
they retain. It was very different from a cat
1:00:56
or a dog. And then I did another reading. I couldn't
1:01:00
see the animal. I said, I just feel like I have
1:01:04
something really cute just snuggled up here in
1:01:07
my neck. there's something about that it's just
1:01:09
I don't know if this is a kitten but it doesn't
1:01:12
feel like a cat to me and I'm like this cute
1:01:14
little thing is just curled up on my shoulder
1:01:16
and I'm just kind of like taking my finger and
1:01:18
winding it around its little tail it's does this
1:01:22
make sense to you at all because I couldn't see
1:01:24
what kind of animal it was and she said yes I
1:01:27
had a pet rat that died and I nearly lost it
1:01:31
I said, now I know why they didn't show themselves
1:01:33
to me, because I would have freaked out. I love
1:01:37
it. And you call yourself the mundane medium.
1:01:40
I think you need to come up with a new, more
1:01:42
realistic nickname, Anne -Marie. That certainly
1:01:45
does not suit you at all. Thank you so much for
1:01:48
sharing all that. I will put all of your contacts
1:01:51
in these show notes. So if listeners want to
1:01:53
reach out to you, they can do so. Thank you so,
1:01:59
so much also for your kind words for me. I really
1:02:02
appreciate that. It means a heck of a lot. But
1:02:05
you've done so well today. And I mean that. I
1:02:08
don't mean that in a patronizing way. I know
1:02:09
that this is not something you would normally
1:02:11
do. So when you said yes, I was really grateful
1:02:14
that you did say so. So thank you so very much.
1:02:17
My pleasure. This is a wonderful experience to
1:02:20
get to talk to you so openly and I hope everybody,
1:02:24
especially mediums and development, I hope everybody
1:02:26
listens to your podcast because I get a little
1:02:29
spark and I get a little bit of knowledge every
1:02:31
time I listen. Oh, bless you. Well, thank you.
1:02:35
Take care, Marie. See you soon. Thank you. The
1:02:55
brilliant, the wonderful, the fantastic Anne
1:02:58
-Marie Passano. What did you think? Oh, I love
1:03:01
it. It actually warms my soul when I hear a conversation
1:03:03
like that. I don't always appreciate it in the
1:03:06
moment. I always come downstairs after a conversation
1:03:08
and say to Simon, oh, that was so lovely. I've
1:03:12
really enjoyed that. And I remember doing the
1:03:13
same thing when I came off the call with Anne
1:03:16
-Marie. And I re -listened to this conversation
1:03:21
a few weeks ago now. and it just made my soul
1:03:26
sing. I thought what Anne -Marie had to say was
1:03:29
just glorious. I just counted it up and Anne
1:03:33
-Marie is the 13th guest I have had on the Psychic
1:03:36
Explorer. I never thought, I honestly never thought
1:03:40
I'd get past like episode five. I can't believe
1:03:44
I'm already on episode 32 and Anne -Marie was
1:03:47
my 13th guest. Love to all my guests. Thank you
1:03:52
so much. And I really hope you are enjoying these
1:03:55
different perspectives that I'm bringing to your
1:03:57
ears. The variety of guests that I've been able
1:03:59
to have come on as guests are in my circle, as

it were. There's only been a couple of people
1:04:05
who have been sort of outside of my circle. And
1:04:09
I've really enjoyed speaking to these people,
1:04:12
trying to understand their different perspectives,
1:04:14
where they come from, because we all come to
1:04:15
this from a very different... point of view in
1:04:18
a different place and that difference in place
1:04:20
can make everybody's mediumship or everyone's
1:04:23
psychic work or everyone's understanding ever
1:04:26
so slightly different and I think that that is
1:04:29
beautiful in its own right. The next guest episode
1:04:33
is going to be another really beautiful conversation
1:04:38
with another American friend. You are having
1:04:40
lots of Americans on this year in 2026. Kim and
1:04:45
Anne -Marie are in good company because next
1:04:47
guest episode is going to be Nat Lockett. Nat's
1:04:50
conversation is just stunning. I really, really
1:04:53
recommend you listen to her. If you haven't already,
1:04:56
I really suggest that you subscribe to the Psychic
1:04:59
Explorer. You tap on the notification button.
1:05:01
so that when a new episode drops, it goes straight
1:05:03
to your phone. Doing that also helps promote
1:05:07
this podcast to other people, to new listeners.
1:05:11
And as I said before, that is not my priority.
1:05:13
My aim of this podcast is to bring you my honest
1:05:16
journey, mine and other people's honest journey
1:05:20
about how other people walk this path. So if
1:05:24
that one subscription does help someone else
1:05:26
find these stories, then know that you are a
1:05:29
part of something good. Right, I will love you
1:05:31
and leave you there. Have a wonderful rest of
1:05:33
your day and I will see you next time. Take care,
1:05:36
guys. Bye.
