Latest / The Manifestation Station / Ep 84. Alexa Sang 'I Love You': A Paranormal Sign from Loved Ones
Transcript
- 0:07You're listening to the Manifestation Station podcast.
- 0:11I'm your host, Holly Edwards, and together we can help create your magic.
- 0:22Hello, you gorgeous manifestors, and welcome back to another episode of the
- 0:28Manifestation Station.
- 0:30Yes, I am your host, Holly Edwards. Thank you for your patience with this episode,
- 0:35as it is in theory a little bit late, but that's okay.
- 0:40We're still bringing the energy. We are still bringing you the manifestation tools.
- 0:45And actually, today, I feel like today's episode is a little bit different.
- 0:50And I've actually been thinking for a while whether or not to do this episode
- 0:56for some time, because when you press play on the manifestation station,
- 1:00we're talking manifestation, we are talking mindset, energy,
- 1:05becoming the future person you want to be, creating your dream life and that
- 1:08is what I am about and today's episode is a little bit more spiritual than that.
- 1:16So that may be your thing, it may be not but it is interesting nonetheless and
- 1:22I actually think it probably fits here more than you might initially think.
- 1:27I think if you've listened to this podcast for a while, you know that,
- 1:32I mean, I'm so fascinated by the idea that there is so much more to life than we can physically see.
- 1:40We talk about energies, we talk about signs, and I think.
- 1:45This is where it kind of ties in today. There is so much more that we can't physically see.
- 1:52It's about opening up our mindset, opening up our kind of our feeling of what's
- 2:00possible and just opening up our eyes to that.
- 2:03I'm fascinated by synchronicities. I've done a few episodes now on signs and synchronicities.
- 2:09I ask for signs and synchronicities. No, sorry. I ask for signs all the time,
- 2:13but there are so many signs and synchronicities that pop up in my life,
- 2:17in my life, my friends' lives, my clients' lives, everyone that I know.
- 2:21Some people shrug it off as coincidence, but I'm fascinated by intuition and I'm fascinated by those,
- 2:30tiny little moments where something happens and it stops you in your tracks
- 2:35and you go, oh that was weird,
- 2:39or oh my god there's no way that's a coincidence but sometimes I still think
- 2:43even though I'm particularly open we still do brush it off sometimes going oh,
- 2:48that was weird wasn't it and actually one you know not putting enough,
- 2:52emphasis on the fact that actually is this a sign that was meant for you is
- 2:58it a sign from the universe is it the law of attraction like you know a mirror
- 3:03in your energy or is it a sign,
- 3:05from a loved one a loved one past.
- 3:09And that's why today I want to talk to you about something slightly different,
- 3:14and that is signs from people who we've loved and we've lost and more specifically
- 3:21could the people that we've lost still somehow communicate with us,
- 3:28Now, there's a wonderful woman. I'm going to just double check I get the name
- 3:32of her book right. You may have heard of Dr. Tara Stewart.
- 3:36Now, I love Dr. Tara Stewart.
- 3:39She's a manifester. She very much believes in manifesting.
- 3:44She talks about it on podcasts. She writes about it. And what I love about her,
- 3:49she is a neuroscientist.
- 3:51So she is all these people that go, oh, you know, manifestation is a bit wishy-washy.
- 3:55It's not science. This is where I bring you A lot of information.
- 3:59I believe that manifestation, the law of attraction, your energy is attracting like for like.
- 4:05I think it's a big fusion of science and magic. I really, really do.
- 4:13And what's great about Tara Stewart is that she's a neuroscientist.
- 4:18She is she based a lot of her work on factual scientific evidence.
- 4:24Yet if you look at some of her work listen to some of her podcasts I know she's
- 4:29she did a great podcast with Stephen Bartlett but check her out she's really
- 4:33good she's on Instagram and she's written a couple of books as well,
- 4:37but she talks about how the fact that it is proven that within the brain that
- 4:43you can create new neural pathways with the way that you think so this is that idea of.
- 4:49Gratitude. It can improve your immune system.
- 4:53It can give, not even just gratitude, but if you rewire your brain using positive
- 4:59affirmations and start believing these statements that you're saying,
- 5:03it can create new neural pathways so that your brain is actually believing what you're telling it.
- 5:08Anyway, she's fascinating. Now, she's not the topic of today's episode.
- 5:13We are talking about signs and,
- 5:17communicating with loved ones who are no longer here anymore and I think,
- 5:22if you're into manifestation you're into energies it's very possible that you're
- 5:25aligned also with believing that you can communicate with people who are no
- 5:29longer here now going back to Dr Tara Stewart,
- 5:34she released a book this year earlier in the year called The Signs now I haven't
- 5:41read this book yet but I have read lots of snippets,
- 5:45and I've researched many things about the book and I had a very quick message with Tara as well.
- 5:50And what I love about her, again, she's a neuroscientist.
- 5:54Her husband sadly passed away a while back. I think it might be a year or two ago.
- 6:01And like anyone dealing with someone they've lost, she's been in the depths of grief and.
- 6:08But what she came to realize was that she has found ways and she categorically believes,
- 6:16she has found ways that completely work in communicating with her partner who has passed.
- 6:24And she explains it in this most amazing way of she could see that he was also
- 6:30trying to communicate with her, but it's all new for him as well.
- 6:33And actually you have to kind of not set tests for your loved ones but you actually
- 6:39have to kind of help them ask,
- 6:43for specific things in order to be able to communicate with each other so she's
- 6:47got some fascinating stories now I now that I'm doing this episode I'm actually
- 6:52going to download it on Audible straight after this I might do another episode later in the year,
- 6:56but I just thought I'd mention her book now because it's one of the things that
- 7:00triggered the idea for doing this episode and also because last year I had a,
- 7:08paranormal experience which blew my mind when I say for me,
- 7:16I feel like I have proven categorically for me that.
- 7:22The ability to communicate with the afterlife. Now I'm going to tell you about
- 7:27what happened to me and I'm going to tell you that story shortly.
- 7:30But before we get into the nitty gritty, this is what I want today's episode
- 7:35to be about. Could the people we've lost still somehow communicate with us?
- 7:40So I'm going to share with you my own story, but I want you to think about it.
- 7:45Like, have you ever experienced something that reminded you so,
- 7:50strongly of someone that you've lost that for a second it almost felt like they
- 7:55were in the room and maybe you've heard their favorite song at the exact moment you needed it,
- 8:02maybe you've smelt their perfume
- 8:04when there was absolutely no reason for that smell to be there at all,
- 8:08maybe you've seen a robin when you're thinking about them maybe you've looked
- 8:12at the clock exactly the same time over and over again in fact this reminds
- 8:18me recently my partner while I remember it,
- 8:21my lovely fiancee Ben sadly lost his dad last year so my father-in-law.
- 8:27And Ben kept his watch and he has like a little pot with a few of his dad's items.
- 8:35And in this pot is his watch.
- 8:39And he keeps it. And every now and again, he'll get the jar out and just kind
- 8:42of have a look. And he hasn't had it out, I would say, in maybe about nine months.
- 8:48Anyway, I think he was having a moment and he was thinking about his dad.
- 8:52And he got out this pot with his dad's items in.
- 8:56And he was looking at the watch and he went oh I think I think the watch must
- 9:01have stopped I said how come and he said well look at the time so we looked
- 9:04at the time in our kitchen we can see our big garden clock outside and it was 10 to 8 in the evening.
- 9:11And the time on his dad's watch was 10 to 8 so we went oh that's a bit weird
- 9:17maybe it stopped so we looked at his watch his watch actually had stopped
- 9:22it stopped working it wasn't going around at all but it was stuck on 10 to 8
- 9:26the exact moment that my partner has taken out this pot taken out the watch
- 9:31just to have a little look,
- 9:32and he sort of looked at me and he thought it's quite weird isn't it so it was
- 9:36just something where you just think oh is that a nod is that a nod from his
- 9:40dad to go yeah I'm here you know it's these synchronicities these signs and,
- 9:45maybe you've had a dream about them there are lots of stories about people who
- 9:49have passed visiting us in our dreams because there's a moment in when we're sleeping,
- 9:55it's our subconscious mind that is running so it is believed that loved ones
- 10:00past can tap into our subconscious and meet us there rather than us in the physical
- 10:06world where we think everything is kind of very black and white.
- 10:10So whatever you've had, I'd love you to share your stories with me firstly.
- 10:13And I just know there's going to be so many of you who share stories.
- 10:17I've heard of clients and friends and family stories already.
- 10:20But if you do want to do that, I would love to hear them.
- 10:24I'm on Instagram at thehollyedwards. Feel free to drop into my DMs.
- 10:29And I'm also at the.manifestationstation.
- 10:32I'd love to hear your stories or post about them on your stories.
- 10:35And I'll share them if you tag me because I think it's lovely for other people
- 10:40to see your stories if you don't mind me sharing them, I should say that.
- 10:43But it's funny, isn't it? Because when these things happen, it's like...
- 10:48You didn't know how you knew it was them, but you just did.
- 10:53And I think that is something that so many people experience,
- 10:56but we don't necessarily talk about.
- 10:59Because we're often told that when someone dies, when someone passes,
- 11:02that's it, they're gone.
- 11:03And physically, of course, we know they are. They're no longer here in front
- 11:06of us in the way that we know.
- 11:09But there is so much of the universe we don't know about. No one has proven
- 11:14yet the afterlife, what that exists of.
- 11:17If we are energy that carries on and can communicate with where we are now and I think.
- 11:25Love you know love of a past a loved one who has passed I should say,
- 11:32love is still energy and a person can be physically gone and yet their presence
- 11:38can still completely change the way that you feel.
- 11:42I mean, their voice, their voice can still live in your head,
- 11:46their sayings, their mannerisms, the things they taught you,
- 11:50their memories, you can hear a song and feel all of those emotions kind of rise to you.
- 11:55So it's not necessarily asking the question, are they literally standing next to me right now?
- 12:01Perhaps it's, can the connection we had, can it continue in the same form but I do believe personally,
- 12:10if you're asking me personally I do believe that our past ones are around us
- 12:16I believe that if you've lost someone they are around you right now I do believe
- 12:21that you can and that you should speak to them out loud they can hear you
- 12:26and I think we should be asking for signs asking to communicate with our loved
- 12:31ones and also remembering like Dr.
- 12:34Tara Stewart said that actually perhaps they are learning too like sometimes we'll go oh you know.
- 12:41Well, if you're here, make the light flicker. Imagine if your loved one has
- 12:46passed and they're like, oh, I'm really trying to make that light flicker,
- 12:49but I can't, but I can do this.
- 12:51We have to be open into how they might be able to communicate with us.
- 12:55And that's what Dr. Tara Stewart says in her book.
- 12:58She said that she had a few moments where she felt like her husband was trying to communicate.
- 13:03So she almost had to, as a neuroscientist, do the work in terms of deciding how that could happen so,
- 13:12I'd love to share my own story with you and I have to say I shared this with
- 13:18Dr Tara Stewart after listening to her podcast with Stephen Bartlett.
- 13:22Where she talks about this very subject and she talks about,
- 13:30communicating with her her partner who had passed I actually contacted her to say,
- 13:36you know I think the book that you've written I know I've not read it yet but
- 13:40from what I've heard it's fascinating thank you for experimenting for us for
- 13:45us all to kind of hear and understand,
- 13:48but I also said to her I want to share my own story with you and I sent her
- 13:53a voice note and her reply was like you know wow in capital letters I cannot
- 13:59believe this happened and I'm going to share it with you now because I also have,
- 14:04I actually have some physical proof of what happened to me so I feel like for me.
- 14:13I've proven it. That's it. That's it. I've proven the afterlife.
- 14:17I've proven we can speak to loved ones past. So what happened is I told you
- 14:23about my father-in-law who passed at the beginning of last year.
- 14:27And it was a very, very traumatic time.
- 14:30It was very traumatic for my partner, his family, and myself as well.
- 14:36Because I'm not going to go into too much detail about what happened on the
- 14:41night because I feel like you need to hear some of it in order to understand,
- 14:48the full scenario of what happened.
- 14:51On this occasion that I'm about to tell you about.
- 14:53But out of respect for his family, I don't want to go into too much detail because
- 14:58it was quite dark and it was quite traumatic.
- 15:01But if I put it very very briefly what happened was that his dad who lives about 40 minutes from us,
- 15:12there was one night and Ben used to kind of call him,
- 15:17every week he'd check in on him and he he was trying to call him this one night
- 15:22it was a Friday night and he'd better pick me up from the station and he said
- 15:27that's really weird I can't get through to my dad and I said well that's really odd, isn't it?
- 15:31And this had happened before and his dad had accidentally turned his phone off
- 15:36and Ben had to go down there and he had to go in and go, don't turn your phone
- 15:40off, you know, looking out for his dad.
- 15:42His dad was quite in ill health, but nothing to suspect that he was going to
- 15:48pass, if that makes sense.
- 15:50Anyway, so we came home, we were trying to get through to him and eventually
- 15:54we looked at each other and we said, should we just drive down there?
- 15:56Check he's okay so we did that and I don't know what we were expecting I said
- 16:02you know I'm sure he's just got his phone on do not disturb it was just clicking
- 16:05straight through to the voicemail,
- 16:07and like I said Ben speaks to him kind of every every week but it had been a
- 16:11little bit more than that because I think we've been somewhere the week before anyway.
- 16:16When we got there, sadly, Ben found his dad and he had passed away.
- 16:24And he had, very sadly, he'd been there for a while.
- 16:30And so he came running out completely kind of traumatized because,
- 16:34as you can imagine, finding his dad in that way was just awful for him.
- 16:41So he came out and the next thing I knew, he came out and he just shouted, he's dead.
- 16:45That's it. He's gone. and I thought oh my god so I clicked into autopilot he
- 16:50was outside he went call an ambulance so I called an ambulance,
- 16:54and then I went upstairs and I heard Ben say to me please don't go up there
- 16:58but he was he was totally in shock he was totally in shock and I said it's fine
- 17:03because I was on the phone to the ambulance and I thought all of a sudden well,
- 17:07I was walking up the stairs and I thought well actually on the phone to the
- 17:10ambulance they've asked me to check,
- 17:13you know how he is because I thought, you know, I'll go in, maybe I could perform
- 17:16some CPR or give some medical attention or, you know,
- 17:22give the ambulance guys or the, you know, the paramedics on the phone,
- 17:25give them some more info.
- 17:27So as I went up, I suddenly realised that actually, I don't know where he is.
- 17:32I don't know what I'm about to walk into, what state he's going to be in.
- 17:37Ben was left outside, as I say, he'd kind of come running out.
- 17:40And like I said, I don't want to go into too much detail, more for his family.
- 17:44But I went in and what I was faced with was just awful.
- 17:51It was just awful. I mean, I do hair and makeup for a living for film and TV.
- 17:57I do a lot of injury makeup. I do dead bodies.
- 18:01I, you know, have to look at very graphic pictures, but I've never seen anything like it in my life.
- 18:08And it's something I think no one can prepare you for.
- 18:11It's something that most people don't see in their life.
- 18:14Thank goodness but he'd been there for a while and that you know it was just
- 18:19a horrible horrible scene and you know my sudden thought was this is what Ben's
- 18:25seen so I had to go down and comfort him anyway,
- 18:28it was really tragic,
- 18:30and you know it was really sad to see Ben going through that and to you know
- 18:36for him to find his dad but also,
- 18:39it was not only sad it was not only dealing with shock and grief,
- 18:44it was also dealing with the trauma of what we had found and what we had both seen that night.
- 18:51So I'll leave that bit with you. I don't want to say any kind of more on the
- 18:55night itself. I could go into way more detail. But obviously,
- 18:59as you can imagine, it just, you know, blew up that night. And it was just a
- 19:03very, very, very difficult time.
- 19:05So Ben had about a week off work while he was trying to sort out,
- 19:10you know, all the things that come with having lost someone,
- 19:13someone passed. and, you know.
- 19:17The horrible logistical bits, the bills, the, you know, the official paperwork
- 19:22and registering the death and all of that.
- 19:24We also had to deal with the police because he died at home and we tried to
- 19:29figure out, you know, the police
- 19:30were trying to figure out how long he'd been there and when he died.
- 19:32What I will say, if you're listening to this, is just,
- 19:36as a thing because I think Ben
- 19:37found it very hard knowing that he'd been there for a little while, but,
- 19:41what is really comforting to know is that the police figured out that,
- 19:46I think it was like Ben had spoken
- 19:48to him just over a week before and he'd spoken to him on a Sunday night,
- 19:52and it appeared that he most likely passed away that evening there were lots
- 19:58of signs to do with appointments that he'd missed the last text messages he'd replied to,
- 20:04the last paper that he had there was on that Sunday and he always whether he
- 20:08was ill come rain or shine he would get the paper,
- 20:11and his watch had stopped as well it was one of these watches that kind of works,
- 20:16it's like a not like a normal battery it basically if you take the watch off
- 20:18it stops um and it had stopped at the time,
- 20:21that sunday evening so just as a little kind of side note that was that kind
- 20:25of gave ben some comfort that actually he had spoken to him probably on that
- 20:29day and he had a lovely conversation with him.
- 20:33Anyway sorry guys this feels very inspirational but actually what comes next
- 20:38is quite amazing and i think if you've lost to anyone,
- 20:42the idea that perhaps we can communicate with them might be of comfort.
- 20:48So, yes, Ben had about a week off trying to figure out stuff and he was here
- 20:54and Ben worked away every week. So I would normally see him at weekends.
- 20:58So he went to work after a week.
- 21:01Now, what was happening for both of us? I think we, looking back,
- 21:04we had some form of kind of PTSD from the night.
- 21:08The fact that what we walked into, what we saw, I know when we closed our eyes
- 21:12at night, we were having kind of flashbacks to what we had seen.
- 21:17Now I didn't want to put it up too much with Ben because I thought it's his
- 21:20dad and I don't want to put it in the forefront of his mind so Ben went back
- 21:25to work and for the next couple of weeks,
- 21:28I really I know Ben did as well and he had his struggles but um I was showing
- 21:34him alone in the house every night.
- 21:37And in the days I felt absolutely fine in the daytimes I felt fine,
- 21:42now in the evening as soon as it got dark which is kind of you know around the
- 21:46time that we found Ben's dad,
- 21:49as soon as it get dark in the house I suddenly just felt terrified
- 21:54I felt scared I felt jumpy I felt presence in the house and it wasn't a bad
- 22:01presence I could just feel an overwhelming presence and I was like is that Ben's dad is it,
- 22:06other spirits around trying to protect me I don't know what it was but I just
- 22:10felt like there was someone or people there and I felt uncomfortable and I felt
- 22:17yeah like I said kind of jumpy and on edge so.
- 22:20What's happening is I was starting to not read to sleep very well I would you
- 22:25know as soon as it came to bedtime I would just be almost like I could feel
- 22:29my heart racing and it was a it was a horrible time and about a couple of weeks later,
- 22:36I was having a bath. I was running the bath and I was at home alone and.
- 22:40I thought, I can't do this anymore. I need to sort something.
- 22:43And I don't know what made me look at my rings on my fingers.
- 22:49And I've got rings from my grandmother who's passed, a very good family friend,
- 22:55of ours that has passed, and, you know, all these strong women who have passed.
- 23:00And I suddenly thought, you know what?
- 23:02I believe in the afterlife. I've been to clairvoyance before.
- 23:07I've had signs before. and I thought I'm going to speak to them out loud.
- 23:11So yes, I may have sounded like a nutter, an absolute nutter.
- 23:16But I spoke out loud and I got in this bath and I got really relaxed and I called
- 23:22upon these people who had passed.
- 23:25I called them by name, these women, and I called Ben's dad as well and I said
- 23:32right I need your help and I said I am feeling terrified at night I'm terrified in the house,
- 23:40when I close my eyes I can't relax I can't go to sleep and I feel like there
- 23:45is a presence here and if you are here you know,
- 23:50I welcome you but at night time I need it to stop and I need your help in helping
- 23:57me to sleep I said please please I feel like I was,
- 24:02at the end of my tether I just said please please help me to relax,
- 24:07help these feelings to go away and to help me feel calm again and not feel an
- 24:13unwanted presence and I said if,
- 24:14there are people around loved ones around you know if someone's trying to get
- 24:18my attention I'm happy to welcome signs
- 24:22but at night I need to be left alone and I said please please help me and I
- 24:27sent that off and I had my bath and that was it that was it.
- 24:32I went to bed that night. I wasn't looking out for anything.
- 24:35I wasn't looking out for any signs. I went to bed that night and I was laying
- 24:40in bed watching TV and it was about 10 o'clock and I kind of started getting
- 24:44those same feelings of I'm feeling a little bit anxious.
- 24:49I'm feeling a little uneasy again.
- 24:51So I thought, no, it's fine. Just stay calm and let's close our eyes and let's try and go to sleep.
- 24:59So I was close my eyes trying to go to sleep. Now, this next bit,
- 25:02it does actually sound like a scene
- 25:05from a horror movie, but bear with me because actually it was lovely.
- 25:10So, just drifting off.
- 25:14Oh, no, I wasn't drifting off. I was very much awake. I was in a down time of trying to drift off.
- 25:20Anyway, my Alexa, oh, let's hope she doesn't answer now because I've just said her name.
- 25:26My Alexa wakes up, the light turns on, and she starts singing this song.
- 25:34That says I love you now if you've heard it before if you if anyone's got an
- 25:38Alexa if you say Alexa I love you I've actually heard this song before,
- 25:43and the lyrics start with I want to tell you I love you and then it goes on
- 25:48for about I don't know 20 or 30 seconds singing this song I love you,
- 25:53so imagine me eyes closed got my TV on I'm very I'm awake and I'm aware,
- 26:00I'm I was awake and very much aware.
- 26:03My Alexa lights up and starts singing I love you right can you imagine firstly,
- 26:12I sit up straight in my bed to check that I'm not dreaming,
- 26:17to check that I'm not asleep to check I've not gone insane I look around there's
- 26:22no one in the house it's just me home alone,
- 26:25I look around and I cannot believe I sit there absolutely stunned as Alexa sings I love you okay,
- 26:34and I think and I look around and I'm like,
- 26:36I mean straight away I'm like well I asked you for a sign I asked you to look after me,
- 26:42and straight away I was like this is mind-blowing this is whoever I've communicated
- 26:48with this is them giving me my sign I love you and,
- 26:52I didn't believe it so I was in shock and Like I said,
- 26:55I was trying to kind of have a moment of thinking, does Alexa think I've just spoken to her?
- 27:00Have I done that subconsciously? Have I spoken to Alexa? So straight after I
- 27:05say, Alexa, what song did you just play? Just to check again, I'm not going insane.
- 27:11And I can't remember, she came up with some answer and she was like,
- 27:14oh, I played this and then just stopped.
- 27:16So I sat in bed, stunned, not scared. It did freak me out first when it came on.
- 27:23Not scared. just stunned going, I am receiving a sign from someone or people
- 27:32past. This is mind-blowing.
- 27:36What happened then is, so that was about 10 o'clock, half past 10,
- 27:39about 11 o'clock, I went to sleep and I slept like a baby.
- 27:46It was the best night's sleep I think I have ever, ever had.
- 27:51I was not restless. I didn't wake up scared.
- 27:55And what's weird is I woke up in the morning and I felt completely different.
- 28:02I felt like a completely different person.
- 28:05I felt rested I felt relaxed and from that night I never ever had the flashbacks,
- 28:13I never ever had the fear of being at home at night of feeling,
- 28:19presence I felt like it had been lifted whatever it was whoever it was,
- 28:24just so light and free and actually even now when I talk about his passing I
- 28:29don't have that fear attached to it so from that night everything changed,
- 28:35now I rang my mum first thing in the morning and I went you never ever guess
- 28:40what just happened to me so I told her the story and she was like oh my god
- 28:44and one of the women I called upon was Bridget my grandmother who is my mum's mum.
- 28:50And she was like, that is amazing. And then I looked to her and I thought,
- 28:54actually, I wonder if Alexa keeps like a log.
- 29:00Because you have an Alexa app. I thought, I wonder if it keeps a log.
- 29:03I've spoken to it and what the commands were.
- 29:07Because I kind of, I knew that this was a sign.
- 29:10But like we all do with any sign, sometimes we go, oh, that could,
- 29:13you know, we see a Robin or a Feather and we go, oh, you know,
- 29:16that could be my grandmother or someone passed. And then sometimes we sort of
- 29:20go, maybe not, but maybe.
- 29:23So I kind of did that thing of going, well, had I spoken to Alexa subconsciously? Was I half asleep?
- 29:30Anyway, so I go on to my Alexa app.
- 29:32And if you do the same, you will be able to see as a command that you have ever
- 29:37given Alexa, every time you've ever spoken to her.
- 29:40Now, what I didn't realize is that because I'm the owner of Alexa,
- 29:44it knows my voice. So I've obviously registered it when I set it up.
- 29:50So if I go over the years, I've had it for years, it's like,
- 29:53you know, it will say Holly.
- 29:55And it's got like a kind of like profile symbol that it knows it's me.
- 29:59So it comes up orange, Holly.
- 30:01And every time I looked, it's family Holly, Holly, Holly, Holly.
- 30:06So I looked on this night in question and it was Holly at about 9 30 p.m had
- 30:15asked Alexa to turn our lamp off and it said it was Holly,
- 30:19then at half past 10 which is when the experience the paranormal activity Alexa
- 30:25singing her song that happened at half past 10.
- 30:29It was an unknown voice It was not their voice.
- 30:33So it comes up with kind of, it doesn't come up with the Holly logo attached.
- 30:38It's just an unrecognised voice.
- 30:40Goosebumps there was no one else in my house absolutely no one else in my house
- 30:44so yes at half 10 it said unknown voice Alexa I love you Alexa has then sung
- 30:52the I love you and then straight after it says Holly,
- 30:55I said Alexa which song did you just play so it recognized that that was me
- 31:00and it recognized it was me before turning the light off someone or something,
- 31:05has spoken to Alexa not me at half past 10,
- 31:09for Alexa to tell me I love you right and then there's something else about
- 31:1411 o'clock which is when I went to sleep,
- 31:17there was another unknown verse that is not me it's not as nice as my voice
- 31:21it says Alexa when you ready and that is when I went to sleep and I had the
- 31:27most precious beautiful restful sleep ever,
- 31:31that verse was not me now people have asked me what do you think that is and
- 31:35I don't know what it is other than the fact that it feels to me like if there
- 31:40were these people that have passed who I've called upon my grandmother.
- 31:44My family friend had passed it feels to me like they've gone right let's give
- 31:49only this sign and I've heard a lot of signs from past ones can be communicated through,
- 31:57electricity so that means you know light bulbs flickering lights going off songs
- 32:01coming on because it's all to do with energy and frequency,
- 32:04so the idea that perhaps they've sent me a message through Alexa and then for
- 32:08me it just feels like someone or something at 11 o'clock saying we're ready,
- 32:13it almost feels like we're ready we're all going together we are supporting
- 32:17Holloway we are going to somehow give her a good night's sleep we are going
- 32:21to somehow get rid of this presence that is bothering her whatever it was,
- 32:26it worked and I have still got the screenshots from my Alexa that shows when
- 32:32I've spoken and then it's a voice that is not known.
- 32:36Now, I don't know what you think when you're listening to this,
- 32:39if you're thinking, wow, she's bonkers, or yes, this is amazing.
- 32:43Honestly, it blew my mind.
- 32:47I don't believe it was coincidence. I think it was something more.
- 32:52And the fact that I also felt better after this experience was just incredible.
- 32:59And because of that, it made me realise, especially listening to dr stewart tara stewart's,
- 33:05versions of you know ways that she's received signs that actually we should
- 33:11or we could call on our loved ones more couldn't we we could ask for help,
- 33:17we could ask to feel more guided we could ask for specific signs and i think it's really,
- 33:24important that i wanted to share that with you today because yes we talk about
- 33:28the universe and signs but also I think it's very,
- 33:31it's important for me to talk about perhaps the fact that we are being guided
- 33:34by people now I don't want to shove this down your throats and say right that's
- 33:38it I've proved the afterlife and you have to believe it it's just something
- 33:43that I want you to think about,
- 33:45and you know because I'm someone who believes in manifestation I believe,
- 33:51our thoughts matter our beliefs matter our attentions matter and I'm also aware
- 33:57that our brains are incredibly clever and I think that's the thing it's about
- 34:02opening up our mind to what there is more of.
- 34:06So does something have to be scientifically supernatural for it to be meaningful?
- 34:11I don't think it does. I think if you hear your mum's favourite song on the
- 34:16day you're really struggling and it makes you feel like she's beside you,
- 34:20does it matter whether that song was deliberately sent to you?
- 34:24Or does it matter that for five minutes you feel connected again?
- 34:27Maybe we don't have to know. Maybe we don't have to know the answers.
- 34:31But there's something really beautiful about leaving a little bit of mystery in life.
- 34:36Being a little bit open to what we could receive.
- 34:40And there are lots of signs that people talk about.
- 34:43I've experienced them and I know a lot of others believe that they have signs from their loved ones.
- 34:50And some of them are really subtle. It could be seeing a butterfly, a robin, a feather,
- 34:56finding an object somewhere completely unexpected for your dreams,
- 35:01seeing someone's name, maybe hearing a phrase that they use suddenly appearing everywhere.
- 35:06Or maybe like something much more personal.
- 35:10And I think if someone has lost someone, the sign might not make sense to anyone
- 35:15else. But for you, it might mean everything.
- 35:20And I think that's why we shouldn't tell people what their signs should look
- 35:24like. And I want you to be open with what that could be for you.
- 35:29Ask your loved ones specifically to see something that relates to them and for
- 35:35you so that you know. And this is what Dr. Tyra Stewart says.
- 35:38She almost says that imagine your loved one is trying to communicate with you,
- 35:43you're missing the signs that ask for something specific something to happen
- 35:46to hear a song to say a specific sign and then be open imagine your loved one
- 35:52working really really hard to get that message through to you.
- 35:56And that's the thing look it does it does come back,
- 36:00to manifestation the manifestation station because some of you might be thinking
- 36:05what does this have to do with manifestation,
- 36:07and you know what maybe this one is slightly less than my other episodes but
- 36:12I just think that there is a connection because manifestation for me has never
- 36:16just been about think about something and then you magically get it it's about becoming aware
- 36:21more intentional more connected with yourself it's about noticing and paying
- 36:26attention to your intuition,
- 36:28and I think spirituality asks us to do something very similar to remain open,
- 36:33but believing that we have to
- 36:35understand absolutely everything and just to leave them for possibility.
- 36:41So, don't go looking for signs.
- 36:46This is something I really want to talk about because if you have recently lost
- 36:50somebody, please don't feel the need to spend your entire day searching for signs for them.
- 36:55Don't become overly obsessed with numbers, with staring at the clock,
- 37:00analysing every bird that flies
- 37:02past or convincing yourself that every technical glitch is a message.
- 37:07Because grief is incredibly powerful. and I know when you're grieving your nervous
- 37:12system is already on high alert you're looking for them you're missing them
- 37:16your brain is trying to understand a world in which they aren't physically there,
- 37:22so I don't think the answer is to desperately search I think the answer is ask
- 37:27and then release simply what I did when I was in the bath I asked and I just
- 37:31released that was it ask set the intention and let it go don't chase the sign
- 37:36if there is something you need to receive you'll notice it,
- 37:39maybe it will find you maybe it won't that's okay too,
- 37:44and if you are listening to this and you've lost someone I just want you to
- 37:47know as well I think it's important to say that look there is no,
- 37:51right way to grieve there is no timeline there is no way no correct way to remember
- 37:57somebody some days you might feel completely fine and then sometimes maybe even the smell,
- 38:04or the sound of something could hit you like a ton of bricks and.
- 38:09I know it can feel really, really hard and that is grief. Sometimes it just
- 38:13catches up with you, doesn't it?
- 38:15And whether these signs is your brain making a beautiful connection or something
- 38:22beyond what we can understand, you don't need to figure it out. Just be open.
- 38:27I think just be open to what we can receive.
- 38:33So a little experiment for you before we go today.
- 38:36And this isn't something I want you to do if it feels uncomfortable.
- 38:40But if you have lost someone and you want to try just maybe tonight or whenever
- 38:44it feels right to you sit somewhere quiet for a moment close your eyes take a few deep breaths,
- 38:51think for a moment about that person that you've lost so don't force yourself
- 38:56to feel anything just remember them think about them hold them in your mind
- 39:01their face their voice something they used to say,
- 39:05and then simply say out loud if there is a way for you to let me know you're
- 39:10okay I am open to receiving it,
- 39:14and then let it go don't decide what the sign has to be at this point don't
- 39:19say it has to be a bus flight it has to happen tomorrow just say I'm open I
- 39:23think it's the very first step to say I'm open to receiving,
- 39:27and I'm going to look out for it and you know that's a very calm way to experiment this. And yeah.
- 39:35I just, yeah, if you can read this book, I'm actually going to go back and read
- 39:40it myself. And like I said, I might do another episode on it.
- 39:43But if you have lost someone, if a friend of yours has lost someone and they
- 39:48feel like, maybe you feel like they might be interested in this,
- 39:51maybe please pass on this episode to them. Maybe do the experiment together.
- 39:56And I'm sending you love as well. If you, you know, anyone that has lost people
- 40:01in the past, I'm sure everyone has at some point.
- 40:04I'm sending you love. and just think about them today hold them in your thoughts today
- 40:10and if something happens a song a smell a dream a coincidence something that
- 40:15makes you stop and think that's you don't panic just smile and I want you to say thank you,
- 40:22imagine your loved one is there and you just saw like there's a sign or coincidence
- 40:27or synchronicity I want you to say thank you out loud because imagine your loved
- 40:31one definitely trying to send you this message and imagine you going thank you I've got it,
- 40:36and I think the more that you do that the more that you will receive and the
- 40:40more open you will be to receiving more.
- 40:44Remember I would very much like to hear from you if you have received a sign,
- 40:49I'd love to hear all your stories and thank you for listening to me I know it's
- 40:53a little bit different today but it's something that I really wanted to dive into at some point,
- 40:58and remember stay open stay curious and don't forget there is always more magic
- 41:05around you than you think so I'll see you next time and just remember you're
- 41:10exactly where we're meant to be.
