1:57
Speaker 1: Christy Clemens Hoffmann. Welcome, Christie, Thank you, Victor.
2:01
Speaker 2: I'm happy to be here.
2:03
Speaker 1: Christy. Your bio described you as a lifelong intuitive channel
2:08
Speaker 1: and teacher. Please share with us your early path and
2:12
Speaker 1: how these gifts manifested for you.
2:14
Speaker 2: Yes, that's an excellent question. Well, first of all, let
2:17
Speaker 2: me preface this by saying that we're all born intuitive.
2:20
Speaker 2: We all have this ability to tune in with our
2:24
Speaker 2: senses and our heightened awareness, and some of us just
2:29
Speaker 2: are more developed in that than others. Right off the bat,
2:33
Speaker 2: I must have been a little bit more heightened in
2:35
Speaker 2: my sensitivities because I was seeing ghosts as a baby.
2:39
Speaker 2: My dad tells the story of when he was a
2:43
Speaker 2: night watchman at this huge WPA era high school here
2:48
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. My mom was an X ray tech
2:51
Speaker 2: at a local hospital work tonights. He worked nights putting
2:54
Speaker 2: himself through college, and he would take me in my
2:57
Speaker 2: playpen and set up and study while he was there.
3:02
Speaker 2: At the school and take me with him on his rounds. Well,
3:05
Speaker 2: apparently one night I stood up in my playpen and
3:08
Speaker 2: I must have been maybe about a year old, and
3:10
Speaker 2: I was waving at somebody in the corners. I said, hi,
3:14
Speaker 2: mister man, and he Dad swears that he quit the
3:19
Speaker 2: job the next day. But then I would see more
3:23
Speaker 2: and more things as I grew up, and I would
3:26
Speaker 2: know things. And so there are four of these spiritual
3:30
Speaker 2: gifts that we can all have. One is clairvoyance, which
3:32
Speaker 2: we all know. Then there's Claire audience, Claire sentience, and
3:36
Speaker 2: Claire cognizance. Claire cognizance, of course, being the knowing, and
3:41
Speaker 2: then Claire sentience being the feeling, Claire audience being kind
3:44
Speaker 2: of like clairvoyance, except it's through hearing. So as I
3:48
Speaker 2: grew up was mostly clairvoyant and Claire cognizant. I would
3:53
Speaker 2: just know things, who you could trust, who was going
3:57
Speaker 2: to break up, what was going to happen before it happened,
4:01
Speaker 2: And so grew up that way. But growing up in
4:03
Speaker 2: the suburbs of Kansas City, I quickly learned that that
4:06
Speaker 2: was weird, and so I didn't express it fully. I
4:11
Speaker 2: just kind of kept it to myself. But then as
4:14
Speaker 2: I got older, I found that, oh, this is actually
4:16
Speaker 2: a desirable quality. But now I didn't know to do
4:19
Speaker 2: anything with it. I didn't know what to do or
4:22
Speaker 2: how to develop it and make it better. But then
4:25
Speaker 2: I went through I guess, the dark night of the soul.
4:29
Speaker 2: My husband decided he wanted to leave the family, and
4:33
Speaker 2: it was a devastating blow. And I started searching, looking
4:38
Speaker 2: for soulmates and karma and life path and soul family
4:41
Speaker 2: and these type of things. I wound up with Dolores Cannon.
4:45
Speaker 2: All roads pointed toward Dolores Cannon, which I'll talk about
4:49
Speaker 2: in a bit. But Delors Canon, of course, was a
4:51
Speaker 2: very well known metaphysician and was doing this type of
4:55
Speaker 2: hypnosis technique called quantum healing hypnosis technique. And I found
5:00
Speaker 2: out about that. To learn about past lives, to learn
5:04
Speaker 2: about path, to learn about soul family, all in karma,
5:07
Speaker 2: all of these things, and I said, oh, that's what
5:09
Speaker 2: I need to do. I need to do this session
5:12
Speaker 2: the hypnosis with Dolores, and then I can answer all
5:15
Speaker 2: my you know, get all my questions answered. Well. I
5:18
Speaker 2: called her office and I asked for an appointment with
5:21
Speaker 2: her and she was booked up for four years, and
5:26
Speaker 2: her staff was wonderful. They said, well, she's just started
5:29
Speaker 2: teaching her methods, so you might be able to find
5:32
Speaker 2: someone who has trained with her near you, which I did,
5:37
Speaker 2: and my husband and I both went to see this gentleman.
5:41
Speaker 2: He was the head of the Psychical Studies Institute here
5:44
Speaker 2: in Kansas City. And neither one of us could get
5:49
Speaker 2: very far with this, and so he was actually a
5:51
Speaker 2: psychologist and doctor Jones. He said, well, this doesn't happen
5:56
Speaker 2: very much, very often, but if it does, then I
5:59
Speaker 2: refer people to someone who can tell you about your karma,
6:02
Speaker 2: tell you about your life path, tell you about soulmates.
6:06
Speaker 2: And he referred me to a psychic and she's here
6:09
Speaker 2: in the Kansas City area, and I had a wonderful
6:13
Speaker 2: reading with her. I sent many of my friends to
6:17
Speaker 2: her and they also had wonderful readings. And she started
6:22
Speaker 2: teaching classes, and I started taking her classes and learned
6:26
Speaker 2: that I was actually pretty good at what I was
6:28
Speaker 2: experiencing and what I was doing, and learned how to
6:33
Speaker 2: channel it, learned how to work with it and develop it,
6:37
Speaker 2: and so I started working with clients, probably around twenty
6:40
Speaker 2: ten twenty eleven maybe started working with clients, and at
6:45
Speaker 2: that time it was still mostly the clairvoyance and Claire cognizance.
6:49
Speaker 2: I had a client and I was working out of
6:51
Speaker 2: my house at the time. I had a client come
6:53
Speaker 2: to my house for a reading, which you know, all
6:56
Speaker 2: my clients did, and he had a great reading. It
6:58
Speaker 2: was very informant. If he really enjoyed it. He wanted
7:01
Speaker 2: to bring his family back, and I said, that's great,
7:04
Speaker 2: let's schedule you for a couple of weeks out. He
7:06
Speaker 2: came back with his family, but a few days before
7:09
Speaker 2: that victory. It was the strangest thing. I was fearful.
7:13
Speaker 2: I thought, what am I doing asking these people into
7:15
Speaker 2: my home. They're going to beat me, They're going to
7:20
Speaker 2: abuse me. This is just madness. I almost canceled, and
7:24
Speaker 2: I thought, no, no, no, no, no, no. This gentleman,
7:27
Speaker 2: this young man was very nice. He was very sweet,
7:30
Speaker 2: and it sounded like his family was wonderful as well.
7:32
Speaker 2: I'm sure it's going to be okay. I'm not sure
7:34
Speaker 2: what's going on. But they showed up to my house
7:37
Speaker 2: and the first thing I said, this is going to
7:40
Speaker 2: sound crazy. Is there a history of domestic violence and
7:44
Speaker 2: domestic abuse? And maybe even sexual abuse in the family.
7:48
Speaker 2: And the father said, yeah, that's my dad, and immediately
7:54
Speaker 2: the feeling left me. So that was my first introduction
7:57
Speaker 2: to Claire sentience, which I've been working ever since. So,
8:01
Speaker 2: you know, we can have these gifts and then they
8:03
Speaker 2: can develop and change and shift and new gifts come in.
8:07
Speaker 2: So that was that was my experience. You know, after
8:11
Speaker 2: working with people for maybe a couple of years, I
8:14
Speaker 2: started meeting folks in this realm, the metaphysical realm, and
8:18
Speaker 2: I was meeting so many people who were doing energy
8:21
Speaker 2: work and reiki and I had no idea what any
8:25
Speaker 2: of that was. I had no idea about energy work.
8:29
Speaker 2: Reiki was a completely unknown concept to me, and the
8:34
Speaker 2: more I learned about it, spirit just said this is
8:36
Speaker 2: what you need to do. You need to study this stuff,
8:39
Speaker 2: you need to start practicing it. I was actually doing
8:42
Speaker 2: readings in a integrative holistic like metaphysical center and there
8:49
Speaker 2: was a teacher there who was teaching reiki and I
8:52
Speaker 2: took reiky. Yeah, I took reiky one, two, three, and
8:56
Speaker 2: then master Actually know, my first teacher was outside of
9:00
Speaker 2: the center, but this teacher at the center encouraged me
9:04
Speaker 2: and then I did my master with her, and so
9:08
Speaker 2: then I added reiki to what I was practicing.
9:12
Speaker 1: We have a lot in common, including childhood experiences. I'll
9:16
Speaker 1: tell you one of mine. Quickly. I would report things
9:20
Speaker 1: that I would see, hear, or feel to my parents,
9:22
Speaker 1: and I was told that I had an over active imagination.
9:27
Speaker 1: I was very close to my paternal grandfather, and one
9:30
Speaker 1: day when I was around six and a half years old,
9:32
Speaker 1: I'm sitting in my room looking at a book and
9:34
Speaker 1: I look up and my grandfather's standing and I said, Grandpa,
9:37
Speaker 1: when did you come in? And he didn't say a word,
9:38
Speaker 1: just smiled at me and sort of dissolved, disappeared, and
9:42
Speaker 1: I went into the living room and I said to
9:44
Speaker 1: my parents, Grandpa was just here, and they looked at me,
9:46
Speaker 1: they looked at each other, and they both knew, which
9:49
Speaker 1: I was not aware of, that my grandfather was in
9:51
Speaker 1: the hospital at the time, And within a couple of
9:53
Speaker 1: minutes the phone rang with word of my grandfather's passing.
9:57
Speaker 1: And so from that point forward, it wasn't about having
9:59
Speaker 1: an overactive but they kept their eyes on me, and
10:01
Speaker 1: they told me not to share anything with anyone else
10:04
Speaker 1: other than them. If I had any other experiences. So
10:06
Speaker 1: I sort of had that similar experience as a child,
10:09
Speaker 1: and then the other thing, Reiki became a major factor
10:13
Speaker 1: in my life. In my late thirties, I had a
10:18
Speaker 1: number of events which led me to reiki, and reiki
10:20
Speaker 1: became life changing for me, including leading me to leading
10:26
Speaker 1: me to interfaith ministry later on. Because in those days,
10:28
Speaker 1: if you wanted to go into a hospital and do
10:30
Speaker 1: laying out of hands, you either had to be a
10:33
Speaker 1: licensed massage therapist or ordained in a faith where laying
10:36
Speaker 1: out of hands was part of the sacraments. And so consequently,
10:39
Speaker 1: that's why I chose to pursue the interfaith ministry, and
10:42
Speaker 1: that changed my life in so many wonderful ways. But
10:45
Speaker 1: sharing all that experience with you tell us a little
10:48
Speaker 1: bit about your radiate wellness community and what it offers.
10:52
Speaker 2: So the reading a wellness community is a virtual wellness center,
10:58
Speaker 2: and I started it that way in twenty sixteen. I'd
11:02
Speaker 2: been laid off from my corporate job at Hallmark Headquarters
11:06
Speaker 2: in twenty fifteen, and I knew that I didn't want
11:10
Speaker 2: to do another corporate job. It just that had a
11:15
Speaker 2: visceral reaction to working corporate again. So I decided I
11:19
Speaker 2: wanted to open another metaphysical wellness center like the one
11:23
Speaker 2: that I started in, but I knew that I didn't
11:26
Speaker 2: have the capital for a physical location, so I started
11:30
Speaker 2: it as a virtual practice, and this is a group practice.
11:35
Speaker 2: The website is radiate Wellness Community dot com and that's
11:39
Speaker 2: basically our office. So you can go to radiate Wellness
11:42
Speaker 2: community dot com and find out about our practitioners, our practices,
11:48
Speaker 2: you can schedule an appointment. You can check out our
11:51
Speaker 2: blog and the podcasts all on that website and our
11:55
Speaker 2: shop tab, so you can do everything that you would
11:59
Speaker 2: in an office there. And so we are four practitioners.
12:03
Speaker 2: There's myself and I do basically reading's reikiing regression, which
12:08
Speaker 2: is an easy way to remember it. And then there's
12:10
Speaker 2: Jen Watts who is our embodiment coach. She does transformational
12:15
Speaker 2: embodiment coaching primarily for women going through paramenopause and menopause
12:21
Speaker 2: and trying to figure out your life after you know,
12:24
Speaker 2: the young womanhood and how to move into the next chapter.
12:28
Speaker 2: And then there's Heather Cotton who is an energy worker
12:32
Speaker 2: as well. She does another type of reiki that she
12:35
Speaker 2: calls body wisdom, and she's an excellent, excellent healer. She's
12:39
Speaker 2: here in the Kansas City area as well. And then
12:42
Speaker 2: there's Mary Jane Stodenman, who is our resident astrologer and
12:46
Speaker 2: tarot person, and she lives in Geneva, Switzerland, so she
12:50
Speaker 2: sees people either there in Switzerland or online. And then Heather,
12:55
Speaker 2: Jen and I we can all see people in person
12:59
Speaker 2: or online as well.
13:01
Speaker 1: Tell us a little bit more about the quantum healing
13:04
Speaker 1: hypnosis technique.
13:06
Speaker 2: Oh, it is something else so developed by Dolores Cannon
13:11
Speaker 2: back in probably the early seventies maybe mid seventies, and
13:16
Speaker 2: quantum healing hypnosis technique is hypnosis, but it's more of
13:21
Speaker 2: a metaphysical bent to it. I also do clinical hypnosis,
13:27
Speaker 2: which is the weight loss and the smoking cessation and
13:31
Speaker 2: anxieties and phobias and you habit correction, that type of thing.
13:36
Speaker 2: But Qahht, as we call it, is the big Kahuna.
13:43
Speaker 2: It can take us to other lifetimes and those could
13:46
Speaker 2: be what we would consider past, what we might consider
13:49
Speaker 2: as future. It can take us to between lives when
13:53
Speaker 2: we need to see that. It can take us to
13:55
Speaker 2: the current life if there's something that we need to
13:57
Speaker 2: see from earlier in the current life. It can take
14:00
Speaker 2: us to concurrent lives, which gets a little strange living
14:04
Speaker 2: more than one current life or what we would consider
14:08
Speaker 2: contemporary lifetime. And sometimes it just takes us to other
14:13
Speaker 2: dimensions where we can receive healing. But then it also
14:18
Speaker 2: puts us in touch with our higher self. We call
14:20
Speaker 2: it the subconscious in Qaht. That's what Dolores called it.
14:24
Speaker 2: It's not necessarily the strict psychological way that we would
14:29
Speaker 2: see the subconscious. It's more our higher self, the consciousness
14:33
Speaker 2: that is behind our waking consciousness. And when we speak
14:39
Speaker 2: to our higher consciousness, we can ask all types of questions,
14:43
Speaker 2: what is what was this chapter of my life about?
14:46
Speaker 2: What was the meaning behind it? What do I need
14:49
Speaker 2: to know about certain relationships? What are my next steps
14:52
Speaker 2: in my career or in my life? Can I receive
14:57
Speaker 2: healing for various maladies and dysfunctions in the body. And
15:02
Speaker 2: it's amazing what we can achieve with the higher self
15:06
Speaker 2: in terms of healing. You know, the body is very
15:09
Speaker 2: intelligent and really can heal itself, but we need to
15:13
Speaker 2: get out of its way and we need to allow it.
15:16
Speaker 2: And when we're working with the higher self, they will say, yeah,
15:19
Speaker 2: there's a lesson behind this situation. Is there a lesson
15:22
Speaker 2: behind this and you know the client has gotten the
15:26
Speaker 2: lesson out of it, or this is what the client
15:29
Speaker 2: needs to know in order to have this healed and
15:31
Speaker 2: then they can resolve it. You know, I don't like
15:34
Speaker 2: to usually say that it's healed during a session, but
15:38
Speaker 2: I do tend to refer to it as it's resolved
15:42
Speaker 2: or it's no longer a problem. And I've seen all
15:44
Speaker 2: kinds of things be resolved. People walk in with a limp,
15:48
Speaker 2: they walk out and they don't have a limp. They
15:50
Speaker 2: walk in and they've got a rash all over their face,
15:52
Speaker 2: and they walk out and they don't have a rash
15:54
Speaker 2: all over their face. So can I see these things
15:58
Speaker 2: actively dealt with in suchon It's quite amazing.
16:02
Speaker 1: And how does this relate to Akashak record readings?
16:05
Speaker 2: That's an excellent question. The Akashak records are literally in
16:10
Speaker 2: etheric hall of records, and it's our records lifetime after
16:14
Speaker 2: lifetime after lifetime thoughts, words and deeds that we've experienced.
16:20
Speaker 2: And how it has to do with the current lifetime,
16:23
Speaker 2: which is the most important one that we could examine,
16:27
Speaker 2: because that's where our point of references. That's where our
16:31
Speaker 2: point of action is is in the present, but we
16:34
Speaker 2: would want to know about other lifetimes, just in terms
16:38
Speaker 2: of what do I need to know now right? How
16:41
Speaker 2: does this affect me now? So the Akashak Records is
16:45
Speaker 2: basically it's a history book of our soul. And I'll
16:50
Speaker 2: see sometimes clients will go to the Akashak Records. They
16:54
Speaker 2: describe it in various terms, but kind of similar as well. Now,
16:58
Speaker 2: when I do Akashak Records work, I see it as
17:02
Speaker 2: a type of a Parthenon type of structure, and there
17:06
Speaker 2: will be loved ones and guides and elders and masters
17:12
Speaker 2: lined up in front of it, welcoming the client, welcoming
17:16
Speaker 2: me and showing me what I need to know, pulling
17:20
Speaker 2: from that large Parthenon type of building that has stacks
17:25
Speaker 2: and stacks and stacks of books. And I will have
17:28
Speaker 2: clients go to the records very interestingly enough, they'll describe
17:33
Speaker 2: it in terms of it's a vast library, huge, there's
17:37
Speaker 2: just all of these filing cabinet, there's all of these books.
17:40
Speaker 2: And then if we're lucky, we'll find one of the
17:46
Speaker 2: masters of the records who will show us around. But
17:51
Speaker 2: we always find information there always.
17:56
Speaker 1: Prior to your soon to be published new book, Real
17:59
Speaker 1: Life Angel and Counters, you were co author of the
18:02
Speaker 1: best selling book The Gap, Simple Steps to Reclaim your
18:05
Speaker 1: health and reverse most chronic diseases. What inspired that book
18:09
Speaker 1: and what do you share with readers.
18:12
Speaker 2: Yes, so that book is a collaborative effort. There is
18:15
Speaker 2: myself who wrote a chapter, but then doctors of chiropractic, herbalists, psychologists,
18:22
Speaker 2: all types of people in their fields would write from
18:26
Speaker 2: their perspective about simple things that we can do to
18:29
Speaker 2: reclaim our health. My particular chapter was about energy in
18:34
Speaker 2: the body, which is the foundation of so much that
18:37
Speaker 2: I do. Because emotion is energy. Energy comprises our body.
18:44
Speaker 2: Our body is very little physical matter. In fact, atoms
18:50
Speaker 2: have very very little physical matter. It's all energy, and
18:53
Speaker 2: that's true of our bodies as well. So when we
18:56
Speaker 2: hold emotions in our bodies, when we hold trauma in
18:59
Speaker 2: our bodies and we don't move it along, then it
19:03
Speaker 2: can develop into disase. We can even receive injuries and
19:09
Speaker 2: accidents that correspond to where we're holding our trauma and
19:14
Speaker 2: holding that energy in our bodies. So we'll find things
19:17
Speaker 2: that are very symbolic, such as you know our shoulders.
19:21
Speaker 2: If we have problems with our shoulders, it's because we're
19:24
Speaker 2: taking on too much responsibility, you know, carrying the weight
19:26
Speaker 2: of the world on our shoulders. And so you know,
19:29
Speaker 2: I'll ask somebody who's having shoulder problems. Well, I can
19:33
Speaker 2: see if it's the right or the left, and I'll
19:35
Speaker 2: ask them because I know that each side of the
19:37
Speaker 2: body has to do with our feminine people in our
19:41
Speaker 2: lives that are or our masculine people in our lives,
19:44
Speaker 2: has to do with excuse me, the way we go
19:48
Speaker 2: about things, what we take on, how we choose to
19:50
Speaker 2: express and so I can see what's going on with them,
19:53
Speaker 2: so I'll start to decode it with them. Okay, so
19:56
Speaker 2: what's going on. You've got some left shoulder problems. Are
19:59
Speaker 2: you dealing with things from your mom? Are you taking
20:02
Speaker 2: on power of attorney or dealing with some of her papers?
20:06
Speaker 2: Are you having to take her to the doctor a
20:08
Speaker 2: lot and having to deal with responsibility related to your
20:13
Speaker 2: mother or an important woman in your life. So helping
20:16
Speaker 2: clients to unlock that and un decode it, I should say.
20:22
Speaker 2: And then in my reiki practice, you know, I work
20:24
Speaker 2: directly on those energy blocks in various ways. I've got
20:28
Speaker 2: a bunch of different tips and tricks and things like
20:31
Speaker 2: that to work on energy in the body. So that
20:33
Speaker 2: chapter in the Gap has to do with a simple
20:39
Speaker 2: map of the body and what we tend to hold where,
20:42
Speaker 2: And then also it walks us through the chakra center.
20:44
Speaker 2: The chakra system, which are the chakras, are just energy
20:47
Speaker 2: centers within the body. Each one corresponds to different emotions, beliefs,
20:52
Speaker 2: and attitudes as well as physical function within the body. So,
20:57
Speaker 2: for example, the root chakra occurs at the base of
21:00
Speaker 2: the spine and has to do with our hips, our
21:04
Speaker 2: external genitalia, has to do with the rectum and different
21:09
Speaker 2: things of the physical body, but it also has to
21:12
Speaker 2: do with it's our root chakra, so it has to
21:15
Speaker 2: do with our roots, our foundation. So early attitudes toward
21:20
Speaker 2: do I have safety, do I have trusted people with me?
21:26
Speaker 2: Are my needs met? And if as an adult later
21:30
Speaker 2: on we're feeling unsecure, insecure in our job, in our home,
21:35
Speaker 2: and our relationship, that might show up in the root chakra.
21:39
Speaker 2: So that my chapter also highlights the chakra system and
21:44
Speaker 2: how our energy affects that. And then I show a
21:48
Speaker 2: model that I like to use for dealing with physical
21:53
Speaker 2: disease and injury. So I see this physical disease and
21:58
Speaker 2: injury as the model of a mountain that we're trying
22:02
Speaker 2: to dig tunnels through. Now, I spent some time in Switzerland.
22:06
Speaker 2: I'm actually a Swiss citizen as well, and there's lots
22:09
Speaker 2: of tunnels going through the mountains there, so I'm very
22:12
Speaker 2: familiar with this model. And so if we're trying to
22:16
Speaker 2: dig a tunnel through this mountain, on one side, we're
22:19
Speaker 2: going to start digging through using all of the physical things,
22:23
Speaker 2: physical therapy and drugs and treatments, maybe even surgery if
22:28
Speaker 2: it's warranted. We want to address the physical thing because
22:31
Speaker 2: we have physical bodies and it just makes sense. But
22:35
Speaker 2: then on the other side of the mountain, what we
22:38
Speaker 2: want to work on is the factors that led to
22:42
Speaker 2: this disease in the body in the first place. Issues
22:46
Speaker 2: with our parents, issues growing up, trauma that we've not
22:51
Speaker 2: dealt with. We want to work on that because that's
22:53
Speaker 2: what created the situation. And what we want to do
22:57
Speaker 2: is we want to meet in the middle, and when
22:59
Speaker 2: we meet in the middle, then we achieve lasting healing.
23:03
Speaker 2: Of course, QHT can get us there much faster, but
23:07
Speaker 2: there's other things that can help us, like getting regular
23:10
Speaker 2: massage for the physical, plus reiki for the energetic. Doing
23:15
Speaker 2: those regularly that can help us a lot. Psychotherapy that
23:18
Speaker 2: can help us a lot to unpack if we're with
23:21
Speaker 2: the right therapist who helps us understand and put our
23:24
Speaker 2: trauma in its proper place. So what we wanted. I
23:29
Speaker 2: always want to work in tandem and work in conjunction
23:33
Speaker 2: with the physical and the metaphysical, because if we're only
23:37
Speaker 2: looking at the physical side of it, we can achieve
23:40
Speaker 2: some relief, but it might not be lasting because we're
23:43
Speaker 2: still creating the situation as we go. However, if we
23:46
Speaker 2: only look at the metaphysical, the energetic, the emotional, and
23:50
Speaker 2: the trauma work, we're going to get there as well.
23:52
Speaker 2: But it could take us just as long to untangle
23:55
Speaker 2: the situation as it did to create the situation like
24:00
Speaker 2: this tandem approach. And I always consider myself something of
24:04
Speaker 2: a practical mystic, if that makes sense.
24:07
Speaker 1: Absolutely absolutely. My guest is Christy Clemens Hoffman. We're going
24:11
Speaker 1: to be talking about her new book, Real Life Angel

25:44
Speaker 1: Back on Destination Unlimited. My guest this week Christy Clemens Hoffman.
25:49
Speaker 1: Her new book, Real Life Angel Encounters.
25:53
Speaker 2: Real Life Angel Encounters is a book that I created
25:56
Speaker 2: after my podcast of the same name, Real Life Angel Encounters.
26:01
Speaker 2: This podcast can be found anywhere you would find podcasts,
26:04
Speaker 2: including YouTube and Real Life Angel Encounters was born out
26:09
Speaker 2: of the pandemic. Actually, you know, everyone was turning to
26:13
Speaker 2: YouTube and metaphysical books. They were studying things that they'd
26:17
Speaker 2: always maybe were interested in, but never had time to do.
26:21
Speaker 2: And so all of these people were going through what
26:23
Speaker 2: I call a post COVID awakening. And in this post
26:27
Speaker 2: COVID awakening, there was a demand for things that were
26:30
Speaker 2: positive and uplifting. Around this time. This was twenty twenty one,
26:34
Speaker 2: mind you, So we were, you know, past the biggest
26:37
Speaker 2: part of the pandemic of twenty twenty, but we were
26:41
Speaker 2: still dealing with it. And my GUIDs started tapping me
26:43
Speaker 2: on the shoulder and saying, you need to tell people
26:46
Speaker 2: about us, You need to tell our story. And I said, well,
26:50
Speaker 2: that's awesome. I had done a series on YouTube called
26:55
Speaker 2: fifty two Weeks of Angel Connection, in which I tuned
26:58
Speaker 2: into a different archangel or ascended Master every week for
27:01
Speaker 2: a year because my guides told me, you need to
27:04
Speaker 2: learn how to do YouTube, and so that was my
27:06
Speaker 2: project that they gave me, was to do this fifty
27:10
Speaker 2: two weeks of Angeling Angel Connection. So when my guides
27:13
Speaker 2: tapped me on the shoulder in twenty twenty one, I said, okay,
27:16
Speaker 2: I've already done a series on you guys. What else
27:19
Speaker 2: do you want me to do? They said, you need
27:21
Speaker 2: to start another podcast, and I said, no, I've already
27:23
Speaker 2: got a podcast and I'm very busy with that and
27:28
Speaker 2: I don't really want to do another one. They said.
27:30
Speaker 2: So then they said, okay, that's fine, that's fine, and
27:33
Speaker 2: let me go on for a while, and they tapped
27:35
Speaker 2: me again. They said, okay, seriously, we need to talk
27:37
Speaker 2: about this podcasting. And I said, I'm a single mom
27:40
Speaker 2: and I've got a busy practice and I don't have
27:42
Speaker 2: time to do another podcast. And they said okay, not sorry.
27:46
Speaker 2: Third time they tapped me and they said, okay, do
27:49
Speaker 2: it seriously, do it now, and so I finally started
27:53
Speaker 2: the work to get this together. I did some opinion pulling.
27:57
Speaker 2: I came up with the name Real Life Angel Encounters,
28:01
Speaker 2: and I said, well, how is this going to work?
28:04
Speaker 2: And I looked to Jim Harold, who is considered the
28:08
Speaker 2: og of paranormal. He's got the Paranormal Podcast. He's got
28:12
Speaker 2: a bunch of other podcasts as well, the Cryptid Report.
28:18
Speaker 2: The other side, he's got a true crime podcast. I mean,
28:23
Speaker 2: some of these were fairly short lived, but he's done
28:25
Speaker 2: all of this podcasting. But what really caught my attention
28:30
Speaker 2: was his campfire, Jim Harold's campfire, and it was real
28:35
Speaker 2: people calling in telling ghost stories. And I love this podcast.
28:39
Speaker 2: I really love this show, and it seemed like a
28:43
Speaker 2: pretty good model. Have real people tell their real encounters
28:47
Speaker 2: and come to find out so many people have them.
28:50
Speaker 2: In fact, before we started recording, he told me you
28:53
Speaker 2: had one as well, Victor. I can't wait to hear it.
28:55
Speaker 2: So all of these people have stories of synchronicities, of
28:59
Speaker 2: love ones and min I say, it's not all strictly
29:04
Speaker 2: angels like what we would think of. They're not showing
29:06
Speaker 2: up with halos and wings, although sometimes they do. But
29:11
Speaker 2: there's also stories of near death experiences and the beings
29:15
Speaker 2: that we meet on the other side or the abilities
29:17
Speaker 2: that we come back with after a near death experience.
29:20
Speaker 2: It's also about dreams, prophetic dreams, and dreams of loved ones.
29:26
Speaker 2: It's about synchronicities and events that just seem to happen
29:32
Speaker 2: out of the blue and no explanation, and even aliens.
29:36
Speaker 2: I've got a great story not in the book. It
29:38
Speaker 2: didn't make it to the book, but it was on
29:40
Speaker 2: the podcast about alien visits. So anything that's uplifting that's positive.
29:49
Speaker 2: I like to say, it's for people who love the
29:52
Speaker 2: positivity with the paranormal and like spirits with their actual spirituality.
29:58
Speaker 2: So it's anything that is strange, unusual, uplifting but positive,
30:07
Speaker 2: right loving kind. There's the story of the Koch film
30:10
Speaker 2: miracle as in the podcast as well as the book,
30:14
Speaker 2: and then the Joplin the Butterfly people of Joplin after
30:18
Speaker 2: the tornado that devastated that town. So yes, the podcast
30:22
Speaker 2: went on originally in the first series forty episodes. Bear
30:27
Speaker 2: in mind, I was doing that weekly and I was
30:31
Speaker 2: doing my other podcast, the Radiate Wellness podcast, which we'll
30:34
Speaker 2: talk about. I'm sure I was doing that one weekly,
30:37
Speaker 2: So two weekly podcasts plus a busy group practice and
30:44
Speaker 2: single mom, I was driving myself crazy. Plus it was
30:49
Speaker 2: getting harder and harder to find people who would willingly
30:53
Speaker 2: tell me their stories. So the I was meeting many
30:57
Speaker 2: people who say, oh, yeah, I've got a great story
31:00
Speaker 2: my great aunt Sally, and I'd say, okay, well when
31:02
Speaker 2: do you want to record it? And then crickets. It
31:06
Speaker 2: seemed like there were very few people who wanted to
31:08
Speaker 2: actually share their stories, and I was having to scramble
31:12
Speaker 2: each and every week to find stories to tell. And
31:16
Speaker 2: then I looked to the news, which was great because
31:18
Speaker 2: there are some super stories out there of miraculous things
31:23
Speaker 2: like I mentioned the Cookfield Miracle, Joplin, the Butterfly People,
31:26
Speaker 2: the Little Loretto Staircase. There are stories out there. But
31:32
Speaker 2: I just was having a hard time sourcing everything and
31:35
Speaker 2: scrounging and scrambling to get content together for this podcast.
31:39
Speaker 2: So after forty episodes, I put it to bed. Well,
31:44
Speaker 2: I'll guess what. The platform that hosts both of the podcasts,
31:49
Speaker 2: Real Life Angel Encounters and Radiate Wellness. These are both
31:53
Speaker 2: on the Mindbodyspirit dot FM network. The Mind Bodyspirit Dot
31:58
Speaker 2: FM network and the network came to me and they said,
32:02
Speaker 2: what would you think about bringing back Real Life Angel Encounters.
32:05
Speaker 2: I said, I don't know about that. That was killing me.
32:11
Speaker 2: It was so hard to find stories and that's two
32:15
Speaker 2: podcasts going on. And they said, well, it's still doing really,
32:19
Speaker 2: really well. Even though you don't have new episodes coming out,
32:22
Speaker 2: you still gain new listeners all the time. And I
32:24
Speaker 2: know that. I've got a Facebook group called Real Life
32:27
Speaker 2: Angel Encounters for people to share their stories and to
32:30
Speaker 2: connect with each other, and that was getting new participants
32:34
Speaker 2: every week. I was literally getting new people join that
32:38
Speaker 2: group every week, and so I thought, well, maybe there's
32:41
Speaker 2: some wisdom in bringing this back. But I thought, oh,
32:45
Speaker 2: am I gonna do this. I just don't have the
32:47
Speaker 2: bandwidth for two full time shows, two weekly shows. And
32:52
Speaker 2: then Spirit tapped me on the shoulder and said, duh,
32:56
Speaker 2: do them every other week. And so every Tuesday there's
33:00
Speaker 2: new podcast coming out. It could be Real Life Angel
33:02
Speaker 2: Encounters and it could be Radiate Wellness, and that seems
33:06
Speaker 2: to be a very happy compromise.
33:10
Speaker 1: Christy, why do some people have these experiences and others not?
33:16
Speaker 2: I love that question Victor and I get asked that
33:19
Speaker 2: all the time. Well, you know, I truly think that
33:24
Speaker 2: we all have these encounters, but we write them off.
33:28
Speaker 2: But the ones who you know, really believe that as
33:32
Speaker 2: angels are thinking, oh wow, this is more than just
33:35
Speaker 2: mere coincidence. I think those are people who are open
33:39
Speaker 2: to different phenomenon, Who would be open to a loved
33:43
Speaker 2: one visit or an angel visit, or a synchronicity that
33:48
Speaker 2: should not have happened except that it was guided divinely somehow.
33:54
Speaker 2: So people being open to all of that. Plus also
33:57
Speaker 2: people who have a more positive view. I think that
34:00
Speaker 2: who don't see the world in negative terms, that they
34:04
Speaker 2: see the world in terms of what good can happen
34:07
Speaker 2: to me today, what is possible? So I think those
34:12
Speaker 2: are two important factors. But yeah, again I do think
34:15
Speaker 2: that these happen to us a lot and more than
34:19
Speaker 2: we think. But to recognize it for what it truly is,
34:24
Speaker 2: I think we need to be open to it and
34:29
Speaker 2: have a positive outlook toward it. Right, So, people who
34:33
Speaker 2: are fearful, who might think of a stranger coming to
34:36
Speaker 2: help them in the time their time of need, they
34:39
Speaker 2: might be fearful. It's like, what does a stranger want
34:42
Speaker 2: rather than being open, Oh my gosh, you came at
34:44
Speaker 2: the exact right time. There is a story of this
34:48
Speaker 2: in my book. This woman is outside of Lawrence, Kansas,
34:53
Speaker 2: which if you know Lawrence, Kansas at all, it's a
34:56
Speaker 2: nice metropolitan city. It's not huge. It's a college town,
34:59
Speaker 2: but then lots it's the countryside all around it. The
35:02
Speaker 2: next biggest town is Kansas City. There's also to Peeka,
35:05
Speaker 2: but you know, Kansas City is really the biggest town
35:08
Speaker 2: outside of Lawrence. And she had a flat tire on
35:12
Speaker 2: a one way bridge a foggy morning, no visibility, and
35:18
Speaker 2: she's like, if anybody comes around this corner, they're not
35:20
Speaker 2: going to see me in time. It's a one car bridge.
35:24
Speaker 2: How is this going to work? And she didn't know
35:27
Speaker 2: how to change attire. She called her parents, and she
35:30
Speaker 2: called her friends. Nobody could come and help her right away.
35:33
Speaker 2: And then this gentleman shows up in a beat up
35:35
Speaker 2: pickup truck and he says, hey, you're in trouble here,
35:38
Speaker 2: can I help now. Someone who's fearful, who's distrustful, might
35:43
Speaker 2: say no, I'm calling people they're going to help me,
35:46
Speaker 2: and might be afraid of this man. But she wasn't.
35:50
Speaker 2: She said there was something about him he was not.
35:53
Speaker 2: She describes him as not being attractive, which she later says,
35:57
Speaker 2: I know that was being kind of shallow of me,
35:59
Speaker 2: but she said, not somebody that I would necessarily think
36:03
Speaker 2: was angelic. But somehow he looked kind and she accepted
36:09
Speaker 2: his help. He changed the tire, no problem. All he
36:11
Speaker 2: wanted in return was a hug. She gave him a
36:15
Speaker 2: hug and he went on his way, and she really
36:17
Speaker 2: feels like he was sent but maybe not that he
36:20
Speaker 2: was an angel himself. He could have been, but that
36:23
Speaker 2: he was sent by someone because she needed that. And
36:27
Speaker 2: you know, someone who's fearful would not accept the help.
36:30
Speaker 2: Someone who was fearful would shy away from that type
36:33
Speaker 2: of thing. But she embraced it. She was like, you know,
36:37
Speaker 2: I can accept the help and I can use that help.
36:40
Speaker 2: So I think that's the biggest difference. You know. I
36:42
Speaker 2: think if we all think back over near missus or
36:47
Speaker 2: synchronous events, you know, we could think of those in
36:51
Speaker 2: terms of, well, they could be miracles or they could
36:54
Speaker 2: be coincidence. I choose to think of them as they
36:58
Speaker 2: could be miracles. Why not.
37:01
Speaker 1: There are no coincidences I've experienced so many synchronicities in
37:04
Speaker 1: my life. I can absolutely say there are no coincidences.
37:07
Speaker 2: There are no coincidences.
37:10
Speaker 1: Everything happens for a reason.
37:12
Speaker 2: I believe so. And you know, if we choose to
37:16
Speaker 2: look at these things as miraculous encounters synchronicities, if we
37:23
Speaker 2: think of them as you know, a visit from a
37:26
Speaker 2: loved one or a visit from an angel, instead of
37:28
Speaker 2: just wishful thinking, because a lot of people can write
37:31
Speaker 2: it off as oh, I was just thinking of Grandma
37:34
Speaker 2: and here I'm smelling her perfume, and they think of
37:37
Speaker 2: it just as their imagination, you know, like what you
37:40
Speaker 2: were told when you were a child. Oh, you've just
37:42
Speaker 2: got an active imagination. But why not believe? You know,
37:46
Speaker 2: I always tell my clients and my students that if
37:51
Speaker 2: it's uplifting, if it's an uplifting encounter, if it helpful
37:56
Speaker 2: and maybe even answer some questions for you, then why
37:59
Speaker 2: not counted as miraculous? Why not counted as an intervention? Right?
38:05
Speaker 2: Why rule that out? Why not look at the wonder
38:10
Speaker 2: and the aw that's all around us? Naturally?
38:12
Speaker 1: Absolutely? Yeah, Why is the subject of angels so important
38:17
Speaker 1: right now?
38:18
Speaker 2: Oh? My gosh, We need angels. We need them so much.
38:22
Speaker 2: There were there are people who are just feeling hopeless,
38:26
Speaker 2: who are feeling helpless, who are feeling anxious about the future.
38:30
Speaker 2: There's so much to be anxious about, not just here
38:32
Speaker 2: in the States, but around the world. You know, Worried
38:36
Speaker 2: about putting food on your table, Worried about what if
38:39
Speaker 2: I get sick and I don't have my medicare. There's
38:43
Speaker 2: just so much to be anxious about. Oh my gosh,
38:47
Speaker 2: the solar flares and the human residence and the eclipses
38:50
Speaker 2: and energy has been really bad, and measles outbreak in Kansas.
38:55
Speaker 2: We've got a tuberculosis holt break. I mean, there's so
38:58
Speaker 2: much to be fearful of, and we need some hope.
39:04
Speaker 2: We need to know we're not alone. In fact, I
39:06
Speaker 2: opened the book by saying, I am on a quest
39:09
Speaker 2: for world domination, a to let everybody know that we're
39:14
Speaker 2: not alone. We've got guides and helpers around us all
39:19
Speaker 2: the time. We don't have to do this by ourselves.
39:21
Speaker 2: And then b that we're so much more than we
39:25
Speaker 2: think we are. There is a whole world out there
39:28
Speaker 2: that we're connected to, whether we realize it or not.
39:32
Speaker 2: And that's why I think we need to know this
39:36
Speaker 2: dare I say gospel. Gospel just means good news. We
39:40
Speaker 2: need to know this gospel that we're not alone and
39:42
Speaker 2: there's so much more to us than we think there is.
39:46
Speaker 1: Quick story I'll share with you. When I was in
39:48
Speaker 1: my first reiki class in my late thirties, the reiki
39:53
Speaker 1: master teacher of the class gave us an exercise to do.
39:56
Speaker 1: They said, put your hands over your heart, close your eyes,
40:00
Speaker 1: and see what comes up for you. And immediately when
40:03
Speaker 1: he said that, I closed my eyes and I saw
40:05
Speaker 1: the image of what I perceived to be an angel. No,
40:07
Speaker 1: I did not have angel consciousness prior to this point.
40:11
Speaker 1: And he came around the room and said, tell us
40:13
Speaker 1: what you see and I said, I see an angel.
40:15
Speaker 1: He said, ask the angel its name, and immediately I
40:18
Speaker 1: heard Gabriel. I had no reason to think about Archangel Gabriel,
40:23
Speaker 1: but I heard Gabriel. That night, I went home. My
40:25
Speaker 1: daughter was thirteen at the time, and she said, Daddy,
40:29
Speaker 1: can you show me this reiki stuff that you're doing?
40:31
Speaker 1: And I said sure. She sat in a chair. I
40:33
Speaker 1: placed my palms above the back of her head, and
40:35
Speaker 1: immediately she said, Daddy, I see a group of our
40:38
Speaker 1: family who have passed away, a grandpa and others. And
40:42
Speaker 1: she started naming people who had actually passed before she
40:44
Speaker 1: was born, and she said, there's an angel flying over them.
40:48
Speaker 1: I said, ask the angel its name, and she said Gabriel.
40:51
Speaker 1: So she confirmed for me that Archangel Gabriel is related
40:55
Speaker 1: to our family somehow, an angel it looks over our family.
40:58
Speaker 1: And I was so touched by that.
41:02
Speaker 2: The beautiful story. Victor, you'll have to come up, excuse me,
41:06
Speaker 2: You'll have to come on Real Life Angel Encounters and
41:08
Speaker 2: tell that story.
41:10
Speaker 1: So are there are there personal guardian angels that everybody has.
41:14
Speaker 2: Absolutely, people have a guardian angel that's with us from
41:18
Speaker 2: birth to death. These guardian angels are they're contracted to us.
41:24
Speaker 2: There's a beautiful story of a guardian angel in the
41:28
Speaker 2: book Real Life Angel Encounters that came out of a
41:31
Speaker 2: QHHT session. This woman actually had a lifetime where she
41:36
Speaker 2: was this boy's guardian angel. Oh, it was a beautiful story.
41:40
Speaker 2: So you got to read the book. So anyway, Yeah,
41:42
Speaker 2: we do have a guardian angel with us from birth
41:44
Speaker 2: to death. We have an archangel that's with us from
41:46
Speaker 2: birth to death as well. So these archangels have different
41:52
Speaker 2: jobs that they do. They're I think there are fifteen. Now,
41:55
Speaker 2: different people will tell you different numbers, but I see
41:58
Speaker 2: fifteen archangels and Gabriel, I call her Gabriel. But Gabriel
42:04
Speaker 2: has the job of helping us with communication. So message
42:11
Speaker 2: absolutely right. She delivered news to Elizabeth in the Bible
42:15
Speaker 2: and Mary in the Bible. She helps us know when
42:19
Speaker 2: we're going to have a baby. She helps people who
42:21
Speaker 2: are trying to adopt. She's my daughter's guardian angel. My
42:25
Speaker 2: daughter was adopted, And I mean, she's not my guardian,
42:28
Speaker 2: my daughter's guardian angel. She's my daughter's archangel. But yeah,
42:33
Speaker 2: so she helps with communication and messages and delivering that.
42:35
Speaker 2: So no wonder that she's with your family. And then
42:39
Speaker 2: we'll have So those are the two that come in
42:41
Speaker 2: with us when we're born. So are arch angels with
42:44
Speaker 2: us birth to death, and then our guardian angels with
42:46
Speaker 2: us birth to death. But then we can have others
42:49
Speaker 2: come and go as we need. We'll have loved ones,
42:52
Speaker 2: doesn't matter if we ever met them or not, doesn't
42:54
Speaker 2: matter if they died long before we were born. We
42:58
Speaker 2: can have any ancestor on our spiritual team. Then we
43:03
Speaker 2: have ascended masters also who can come and go. Ascended
43:08
Speaker 2: masters are a mixed bag. Some of them have been
43:12
Speaker 2: human before, like Jesus and Yogananda. Some of them are deities,
43:17
Speaker 2: not minor deities, they are quick to tell me that.
43:20
Speaker 2: But some deities like Apollo and lou and Pele. But
43:26
Speaker 2: they are all in service to humanity and they have
43:30
Speaker 2: different things that they do according to what their mission was,
43:34
Speaker 2: either as a deity or as a person, and they
43:37
Speaker 2: can be with us as well. And then other just
43:40
Speaker 2: angels and other guides, you know, like the old commercial
43:44
Speaker 2: set used to say, there's an app for that, there's
43:47
Speaker 2: a guide for that. You can call in any guides
43:51
Speaker 2: that we want. You know, if you're working on a
43:54
Speaker 2: new book, you can ask for you know, I need
43:58
Speaker 2: a writing guide to help me with this. You know,
44:00
Speaker 2: we can call on Gabriel, right. We can also call
44:03
Speaker 2: on Tote, who was the Egyptian Ibis headed god who
44:07
Speaker 2: taught writing or who brought writing to humanity. We can
44:12
Speaker 2: if we're going to make a meal, we can call
44:15
Speaker 2: on Julia Child help make a meal. Absolutely so we
44:21
Speaker 2: can ask for this help and there's just an unending
44:26
Speaker 2: stream of assistance that's there for us.

45:13
Speaker 1: Back on Destination Unlimited. My guest this week Christy Clemens Hoffman,
45:17
Speaker 1: her new book, Real Life Angel Encounters. Christy, I had
45:21
Speaker 1: a dream several months ago that was so lucid and
45:24
Speaker 1: so vivid, and the message had me awaken in tears.
45:28
Speaker 1: And the dream was I was attending an angel academy
45:33
Speaker 1: and there was this huge temple and there were eighteen
45:36
Speaker 1: tables around in a U shape in the inside of
45:38
Speaker 1: the temple, and we were instructed to go from table
45:42
Speaker 1: to table, make eye contact with the angel at each table,
45:46
Speaker 1: and when they nodded their heads to move on to
45:48
Speaker 1: the next and complete the cycle of all eighteen tables.
45:51
Speaker 1: And afterwards we were instructed to go to the front
45:54
Speaker 1: main table where we would receive our angelic name and
45:58
Speaker 1: our assignment that I was given was Avi l which
46:02
Speaker 1: in Hebrew means God is my father. And my assignment
46:06
Speaker 1: was to be an angel to other angels. And I
46:09
Speaker 1: recognized when I woke up that I've been doing that
46:12
Speaker 1: for years. I'm not talking about angels in the angelic sense,
46:15
Speaker 1: but people, human angels. I've been helping others for years
46:18
Speaker 1: and years and years, and I was so touched to
46:21
Speaker 1: receive that message.
46:23
Speaker 2: It's a beautiful dream, Victor. It's amazing, wow, And I
46:29
Speaker 2: don't doubt it at all. You know, when we have
46:30
Speaker 2: these dreams that seem more real than real, but we
46:34
Speaker 2: can take it to the bank that that has been
46:37
Speaker 2: a visit, that you actually were there, because you know,
46:41
Speaker 2: when we're asleep, it's the body that needs rest. That's
46:44
Speaker 2: when our body heals and repairs itself. But our consciousness
46:48
Speaker 2: gets bored and we're free to travel around and go visiting.
46:52
Speaker 2: We'll have loved ones visit as well. That seemed more
46:55
Speaker 2: real than real and I've had, you know, at least
46:58
Speaker 2: one of those. But what an amazing experience, and honestly
47:02
Speaker 2: reminds me a lot of the Guardian Angel I talked about.
47:06
Speaker 2: That's in the book. You know, she talked about going
47:09
Speaker 2: back to where she was trained, and you know, I
47:13
Speaker 2: was fascinated with that. She described the place of learning
47:16
Speaker 2: in her teachers, in her main teacher, and then how
47:20
Speaker 2: she learned to do her job. Basically, Oh, that is beautiful.
47:26
Speaker 2: I don't doubt it at all.
47:28
Speaker 1: Now does one have to be religious to believe in angels?
47:31
Speaker 2: Oh goodness, no, I know that's a common misconception, isn't it.
47:35
Speaker 2: But no, one does not need to be religious. In fact,
47:39
Speaker 2: the angels are in all walks of all walks of life,
47:46
Speaker 2: various religions. In fact, I address that in the book.
47:50
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, there's a couple of chapters
47:54
Speaker 2: just about angels and guides and who they are how
47:59
Speaker 2: we work with them. But yeah, all of the major
48:02
Speaker 2: religions do have their angels also, you know, the indigenous
48:06
Speaker 2: religions as well. They've got their deities, but then they
48:08
Speaker 2: also have other beings who are not quite deities, but
48:12
Speaker 2: who are helpful to them. So, no, we don't have
48:15
Speaker 2: to be religious. It's like, do we have to be
48:17
Speaker 2: a scientist to believe in gravity? No, it's going to
48:20
Speaker 2: affect us anyway.
48:21
Speaker 1: Absolutely. Yeah. You know, it's interesting you mentioned that in
48:24
Speaker 1: Buddhism they have what's known as the Bodhisatva, which is
48:28
Speaker 1: a being that had displaced all their karma and was
48:35
Speaker 1: given the opportunity to move on to Nirvana and had
48:38
Speaker 1: so much love for humanity that they vowed to stay
48:41
Speaker 1: within the human realm and dry the tear on every face.
48:45
Speaker 2: Yes, it's beautiful, absolutely beautiful. Yeah, and I see our
48:49
Speaker 2: guides that way. Absolutely in Bodisaphas that they assist humanity,
48:56
Speaker 2: and that is true of the Archean angels. There's a
48:59
Speaker 2: higher art of angels, and you know, goes from the
49:04
Speaker 2: hierarchy basically goes from the fifth dimension up to the
49:07
Speaker 2: twelfth dimension. And we would think that archangels are the
49:11
Speaker 2: highest form of angels, but they're not. That is reserved
49:16
Speaker 2: for the Seraphim and the Cherubim. But archangels are mid
49:21
Speaker 2: level angels. And they are mid level angels because they
49:26
Speaker 2: work with humanity. They work with humans solve the problems do.
49:31
Speaker 1: You communicate with angels during your healing practices.
49:35
Speaker 2: Yeah, oh absolutely. So when I do reiki, I call
49:39
Speaker 2: it medical intuitive reiki with healing guides because I am
49:43
Speaker 2: a medical intuitive, and then I bring in guides. Archangel
49:46
Speaker 2: Shamuel is ninety percent of the time with me in
49:51
Speaker 2: reiki sessions. But then ancestors will come in and other guides,
49:56
Speaker 2: other archangels, other ascended masters will come in to reiki
50:00
Speaker 2: sessions and clients will say, I know you were at
50:03
Speaker 2: my feet, but man, I felt somebody's hands on my arm,
50:07
Speaker 2: and you know, I was like, oh, that's right, arm YEP.
50:11
Speaker 2: I know they were there. They help all the time.
50:14
Speaker 2: And then of course I do readings for people, and
50:17
Speaker 2: the guides always show up for that as well.
50:19
Speaker 1: We had talked about synchronicities earlier that Carl Jung coined
50:24
Speaker 1: the term synchronicity as a meaningful coincidence without causal connection.
50:29
Speaker 1: And I've had several of these throughout my life. Literally
50:33
Speaker 1: almost every year or a couple of times a year,
50:36
Speaker 1: I've had a major synchronicity. In nineteen seventy five, I
50:40
Speaker 1: was in the United States Air Force and I was
50:41
Speaker 1: stationed in Soul, Korea and I would write to my
50:45
Speaker 1: mother back in New York every month, and she would
50:47
Speaker 1: write back, and I had no reason to think anything
50:50
Speaker 1: was wrong. And then one morning I woke up and
50:53
Speaker 1: the voice told me, you got to call your mother
50:56
Speaker 1: in New York. She needs to hear from you. And
50:58
Speaker 1: whatever that voice would show up for me, I would
51:00
Speaker 1: always respond to it. And I called my mother back
51:03
Speaker 1: in New York. And back in those days, for those
51:05
Speaker 1: of us old enough to remember, we had things called
51:07
Speaker 1: extension phones, which were wired telephones that you could pick
51:10
Speaker 1: up one phone in one room and the same phone
51:12
Speaker 1: in another room. And my sister and my mother answered
51:15
Speaker 1: the phone simultaneously, and I said, Mom, is there anything wrong?
51:19
Speaker 1: And my sister exclaims, oh my god, how did he
51:22
Speaker 1: find out? She was scheduled for major surgery the next day?
51:25
Speaker 1: And the voice told me to tell her that the
51:27
Speaker 1: surgery would be a complete success, she'd have a full recovery.
51:30
Speaker 1: She had nothing to worry about. She needed to hear
51:33
Speaker 1: those words. And I'm forever grateful for that message of
51:36
Speaker 1: that communication, that synchronicity.
51:38
Speaker 2: That amazing. You see, people have those type of things happen,
51:45
Speaker 2: and they might write it off, right, So why not
51:50
Speaker 2: just act on it. And if it's something that's helpful
51:53
Speaker 2: and useful, awesome. If it's just it was nice to
51:57
Speaker 2: talk to your mom, that's great too, right, not act
52:00
Speaker 2: on it.
52:01
Speaker 1: Absolutely, So many of our listeners are thinking, how can
52:03
Speaker 1: they open themselves to having an angelic or miraculous encounter.
52:08
Speaker 2: First of all, know that you don't have to be special,
52:11
Speaker 2: you don't have to be Joan of Arc to be
52:14
Speaker 2: visited by an angel. It's for everyone, for everyone, And
52:19
Speaker 2: then so being open, but also believe that it can happen.
52:23
Speaker 2: And then, third of all, I would say our guides
52:27
Speaker 2: and our angels, and I use these terms interchangeably, victor,
52:30
Speaker 2: because they're all these angelic beings that are around us.
52:33
Speaker 2: They want to help us. They are here for us,
52:37
Speaker 2: they're for our benefit. They they earn their wings, if
52:41
Speaker 2: I may borrow a phrase from It's a Wonderful Life,
52:43
Speaker 2: they earn their wings by helping us. And they can
52:47
Speaker 2: move up in their ranks by helping us. And this
52:49
Speaker 2: is especially true of our loved ones. And you know,
52:52
Speaker 2: the random guides who come around and help us. They
52:55
Speaker 2: need to help us. They want to help us, and
52:56
Speaker 2: we need to let them. And we but we do
52:59
Speaker 2: also need to act ask them they're not going to
53:02
Speaker 2: come in and swoop in and just save the day.
53:05
Speaker 2: They can, but they usually don't. The only exception would
53:10
Speaker 2: be if it was not our time to die and
53:13
Speaker 2: they need to come in and do something, which we
53:15
Speaker 2: hear stories of that all the time. But we have
53:18
Speaker 2: to ask, and so it's just as simple as talking
53:22
Speaker 2: out loud or in your mind saying, hey, guys a team,
53:27
Speaker 2: I need some help here. I need to make a
53:30
Speaker 2: difficult call and I don't know what to say. Please
53:32
Speaker 2: help me to know that I'm going out to a
53:37
Speaker 2: dangerous part of town. I need to run an errand
53:39
Speaker 2: please keep me safe. I'm having problems with my car.
53:43
Speaker 2: Please make my car at least function until I get
53:47
Speaker 2: to the repair shop. We can ask for all kinds
53:50
Speaker 2: of things, and then the trick is to set it
53:54
Speaker 2: and forget it. So we ask for help and then
53:57
Speaker 2: we release it. We know that the help is coming
54:00
Speaker 2: and know that it can come in a variety of ways. Yes,
54:04
Speaker 2: an angel could just show up and save the day,
54:08
Speaker 2: or there could be a person showing up on a
54:10
Speaker 2: foggy road outside of town in a beat up truck
54:15
Speaker 2: and come and change your tire.
54:17
Speaker 1: Absolutely, and what we're doing is setting the intention and
54:20
Speaker 1: then being open to receiving.
54:22
Speaker 2: Yeah.
54:23
Speaker 1: Absolutely. What would you like readers to take away from
54:26
Speaker 1: real life angel encounters?
54:29
Speaker 2: That this is something that can happen to any one
54:32
Speaker 2: of us, That when we look back over these events
54:36
Speaker 2: in our lives, that we just kind of scratch our
54:38
Speaker 2: head and say, huh, that was really cool. What if
54:41
Speaker 2: it was an angel encounter. I want people to come
54:44
Speaker 2: away with hope that we're surrounded at all times by
54:48
Speaker 2: loving beings who want to help us, and that we're
54:51
Speaker 2: never alone. That's really my most fervent wish that people
54:55
Speaker 2: would take away from real life angel encounters. Real people
54:58
Speaker 2: share real stories of miraculous encounters.
55:01
