Are you a Medium?

0:16 Hello, I'm Kimberly and I'm Laura. And today we're talking about are you a medium? Yeah. Are you a medium, Laura? Yes. Okay. Pretty sure. I think so. Um, yeah, I just thought this episode, I wanted to talk about all the signs that can come forward if you're being called into medium ship. And I really do have always felt like this is a sacred calling that this work is very important work. And that it is, it's just important to know that it is a commitment. It's, it becomes a lifestyle. And you don't even know that it's happening. No shetcher. Like you don't even really understand it in the beginning or understand that your whole life is about to change. But I, I had so many things happening to me in the beginning that I felt like I couldn't tell anybody. Like if I told somebody that was in my circle at that time, they would look at me like I was nuts. But don't you think people did look at us like we were crazy in the beginning? Cause I know when I started my work, I was seeing things, hearing things, knowing things. And the funny thing about me, I was always like, yeah, who, who, I didn't even think about it. But I don't think I ever thought like, are you a medium? I

1:34 Think for me it was just, I think more people are intuitive than they know. So I think there's a lot more people that are can be, you know, mediums. So here's the thing is that you came to this through Reiki and it opened up your channel. And then so I know sometimes medium activity happens for you, like mediumistic activity. Um, but I think like the difference is that you, you don't feel like you can call on it. Is that right? I think, I think the thing with me is I really, I think I'm a funny lady, you know, I think things have just happened to me and I just don't even think twice about them. But it's not, my intuition is incredible, but it's, it's not like, like you just said, it's not like I call on it and say, Hey, can you do this or that? It's, you know, I sometimes wonder if I practice a little bit how much more would come. Yes. But I don't believe no, it's, I don't think it's something that it's, it's not like I call the way. It just happens. It just happens. Yeah. And it happens a lot. Yeah. So it's just that I think that we use a different way of connecting. It's the same with doing treatments, you know,

2:51 There's sometimes I get profound stuff. But instead of all the seeing, I think I just have more knowings now, I'm very settled, I, I'm trusting, I think I always trust it, but I trust more because it just becomes second nature to me, just like you. But yeah, and I mean, the thing about mediumship is I watch you and, and you're kind of going your way and I kind of go mine. So sometimes you and I will have people come in and out of our life and, and we'll both read them and we'll both pick up on the same exact things, but differently, I'd say. Well, yeah, it's sort of like what we're, our work that we're doing, we come at it from different angles, but it crosses over. Right. Like there's all these little intersections where we can say, okay, we've got validation that we're both on the same page because we're both picking up on the same thing just a little differently. But I just, but I remember even when I was doing a lot of, I would use astrology for a good tool to kind of know the client quickly. And I remember you and I would read people and I would read them through reading their astrology and you would read them through using your mediumship. But the clients would say, Oh my God, you guys both said the same thing. And we didn't get to talk about anybody, which we don't a lot of times, but we, because, you know, Kim would have Kim had clients and she

4:11 Would, you know, do treatments on them and then tell them about me. So then they would have a reading separately. So, you know, either Kim would get to them first or I would, but they would have sessions with us separately. And then they would come back and say, you two said almost the, the same things. And we might have said it a little differently or use different, you know, different stuff. Well, different perspective too, because you're feeling through universal consciousness. And it's not that I don't, it's that it is filtered through the energy of a loved one. So their loved one in spirit might come through and say, listen, you really got to drink more water, you know, in order to feel better. And for you, you might just skip over the middle man, go right to universal consciousness, and they say, this person's not drinking enough water. So then you say, Hey, you get to drink more water.

5:03 Well, and I find sometimes the more you're in a group, like with you and I together, I think sometimes we pick up on more stuff. Like we went out for lobster rolls to the yacht club. And you asked me about the building in front of it. Yes. And I, and I told you what I thought. Yeah. And you said exactly what. So yeah, we have the Armdell Yacht Club in Halifax. And Kim said, I wasn't even thinking about it. It's just something that I knew because I grew up in the area. So we got there and we're there to go to the restaurant to have a lobster roll. And I saw the building and I knew what it was. So I said, what, what do you feel about that building? And Kim's like, Oh, I don't like it. And it looks like an old prison. And I feel like there's a lot of terrible characters in there. And I said, yeah. So that was an old prison and the building still exists. And it's from probably 17 mid 1700s.

5:57 Um, so that building housed anybody from thieves to rum runners to, you know, what they would call pirates, which is what I said to, and then it was used also in during the war. Right. So they had like different war criminals, quote unquote in there. So the, yeah, the energy of that building is not nice. No. But she picked up on it right away. She was like, no, that looks like a prison. And honestly, in our standards, it doesn't look like a prison anymore. You know, it just looks like a stone building. But yeah, you picked up on that right away. So that was pretty cool. And I have done stuff like that a lot, but it's like, I just, I'm not calling on it. It just shows up. Right. Right. Yeah. So here's the thing about mediumship, which I have learned over the years. And here's the thing. Oh my gosh, 20 years of pursuing this path.

6:53 And I decided a few years ago that I wanted to help other people that were feeling all the, you know, the awakenings of a medium. And I, I put everything I knew, everything I learned in 20 years into these courses. So when you take, when you go from level one to level three, by the end of level three, you will confidently be able to call in spirit, work in evidential mediumship and bring forward spirit for the living to communicate. One of the things I love about that is the proof. We have a good friend that you used as a sitter, which you could explain. Yes. Yeah. So we have a very good friend that I asked to come into the level three to be a sitter. And I had five people in the class and they read her.

7:44 And when we were done, I mean, she was visibly impressed, but she called me after we were done. And she said, Laura, she said, I thought when you said students were going to read me, I thought I was going to just be doing a lot of smiling and nodding and superficial and feeling like they weren't right or they were off or whatever. And she said, those readings were better than any other readings like that I've had just from even professionals. Like she said, you've really, you've really brought out the best in them as readers. And she was impressed. And wouldn't you say, because in my mind, the more like-minded people in a group, the higher the vibration. So to me, it almost creates this space for more to happen. Would you agree with that? So there's that synergy, right? All those energies coming together.

8:33 And we're all like-minded people coming together in that space. It doesn't matter whether you're on Zoom or in person or whatever, because all of the classes are online. And the reason I've done that is because I want to reach people all over the world. And we have successfully done that with the course. Like there has been people, I've had people from France, I've had people from New Zealand, I've had people from South Africa, you know, and all over the US, all over Canada. So this has been a very interesting journey. But we gather online, the energy of everyone together does add to this pursuit. So it kind of amplifies the energy. It makes readings, I guess it kind of makes readings flow better.

9:22 I wouldn't say it makes them easier. It just gives you all the proper tools so you can move forward. So the people that are coming into this course, the people that I've gathered 20 years of my experience, my knowledge, and I've put it into these courses. But the people that are coming in, they're saying things like, question I get all the time is, am I crazy? We're all crazy. Right. And I got to tell you in the beginning, I needed a lot of confirmation from spirit that I was not crazy. Because I came from a science background. And I thought none of this stuff scientifically makes any sense. How can I hear my name being called when no one's there? You know, how is it that I go to bed at night and I see all these people's faces when I close my eyes, but sometimes you say it out loud, right? So being a couple, it's funny. Sometimes the things that happen before sleep. I do have this thing that when I'm in that kind of zone before you actually fall asleep, but you're starting to fall asleep, that spirit starts talking to me, and I start talking back, and there's no one else in the room. And Kim starts to wonder who I'm talking to. Oh, I know. I'm like, Oh boy, here we go again. It does happen often.

10:35 And I kind of have some recognition, like some awareness that you're trying to talk to me. Yeah. But it's not like registering like I it's sort of like I'm aware you're listening, but I'm having another conversation. Yeah. Yeah. And that happens to me too, because there's times I'm going to bed at night and we're both, you know, we have our routine, but sometimes I close my eye and my eyes and it's like face, face, face, face, face, face, or it's like, you'll hear conversations, you'll hear people talking, but I'm really strict about my nighttime routine because I'm somebody who really, really needs her sleep. And it's because I'm a big energy. So when your third eye is opening and open, this phenomenon of seeing faces seems to be something that happens. And I can't even tell you if all of those faces are actually a person that lived or not is this a person you can contact? I don't know.

11:31 I actually think it's a process in the third eye. So when you're committed to developing your intuition, opening your third eye, which you need your third eye for, you know, mediumship readings or any type of readings. So you're opening your third eye, your third eye is the chakra that is kind of mid brow. And it's the energetic center of vision. So, you know, because I love science, I have to say that you do love science. I do. All the chakras actually have physical components. So we think of a chakra as an energy center, which is true. But when you look at anatomy, so actual physiology, if you think about where the third eye is, if you go into the head a little bit, the pineal gland is there.

12:22 And the pineal gland, or people say it differently, I say pineal gland, you say, whatever, pineal gland tomato, tomato, peanut, peanut, peanut. So that gland actually is considered what we call the gateway to the spirit world. And if you go deep inside that gland, you actually see rods and cones that would be present in your physical eyeballs. So that means you can actually see things from inside your head. Pretty cool, right? So this is not just a thing that you're imagining. This is actually a real phenomenon. And there's signals that go to the brain from the pineal gland to communicate images. So one thing that happens when the pineal gland is starting to become more active, you're sending your energy to it saying, hey, I want to increase my intuition. I want to open my third eye. I want to see more. Then what happens is you start to see, you might start to see color. You know, for me, it wasn't color right away.

13:25 It was like gray kind of gray scale, like kind of black and white kind of movement. So I started to see things that look like kind of like moving bull's eyes. So I could see like the stripes moving inward, like the kind of like centered kind of feeling where you're going into the bull's eye. And every, there was no color in the beginning. And then I started to see color. And then I started to see faces. So this, this process, like this stage where you see the faces, you don't know who they are. I believe that that is how your third eye is waking up because it's starting to tune in to what faces look like, right? So it's preparing you.

14:14 Those faces May not be anybody, you know, it could be your spirit guides. It could be people from past lives. It could be spirits, just trying to talk spirits just around because you know, what I, another thing I learned pretty quick when I started to open myself up as medium is that there's way more spirit energy walking around than people. Right. So which makes sense. You think, you know, there's two people in the room. There's not two people in the room. I mean, there's, there's other spirit energies with you. You just don't perceive them. So that was, that was a big eye opener for me is that there's always going to be more spirits than people and spirit doesn't care about the things we think they would care about. Right. I think that's really funny. Yeah. Because there, there was points where we would be going to bed at night and I would see a whole group of people around the bed and I'd be like, whoa, wait a second. Yeah. Where'd you come from? What are you doing here? Yeah. You're not supposed to be in the bedroom. And I have a very strict rule about spirit in the bedroom because I don't want to wake up or be doing something and seeing them all the time. It's, it's, you know, we're aware of it more than we want to be sometimes. So, you know, and it's funny to me because over the years, you know, we've been together for almost 11 years, but I've watched you

15:30 Do the work and I've listened, you know, I've heard you different times. I might be walking by your office or something and catch something, but you know, I hear you say things like, you know, a yellow rose or a red rose or and what they mean and all these different things. And those things have happened to me on a much smaller scale than you because obviously I'm working in a healing zone. I'll say when I'm working with people, but I do, I have gotten their past life stuff. I have gotten like people that they love stay in the beside them. I, you know, I've gotten that, you know, your grandmother's here and she's, you know, she's giving a yellow rose or a red rose or whatever. So, so talk a little bit about these, these sign symbols, I guess they're kind of symbols for you and you've learned over the years what they meant. So it's a lot faster for you to pick up on.

16:21 Yeah. Well, if you are, you might be experiencing this, that spirit might be showing you something over and over again, but you have no idea what it is. I tell people to write everything down because if you, if you just have like a little journal that you can jot down like, okay, today I saw this and this is what was happening because what you'll find is things will start to line up. So I didn't really, some of them I understood right away, but some of them it took me a while. So in a reading, I might see a spirit take their hand and run across their throat. Now in the cartoons, in cartoons and things or in like movies, that's like, you're dead, you're dead meat, right? I gonna get you. But that's not what it meant. It meant that at the end of their life, they had no voice. So they couldn't say goodbye to their loved one. Maybe they were ill, maybe they were unconscious, maybe they had dementia, you know, whatever it is. That is my symbol that they could not speak to their loved one with right before they pass. So they could not tell them goodbye. Right. So I learned over time that that's what that meant. Now it's kind of funny because I've had in the beginning, I had spirit sort of in my third eye, speaking to me so I can see them, I can see them doing this

17:40 Hand motion across their neck. And if I didn't get it, they were like very aggressive, like they just kept doing and doing it until I, until I said, okay, but I made the connection one day in a reading because I had told the lady what I was seeing. And I was like, your loved one, it keeps running their hand across their neck, like, like, you know, how you go cut like across the neck. And I said, I don't know what it means yet, but it came out in the reading that she said, well, I didn't get to say goodbye to my mother. She couldn't say goodbye to me. And then every reading after that, that is exactly what that symbol meant. I used to get another symbol. Spirit would commit and snap their fingers. So I'd see the snap and I'd hear it. And that meant that they died very quickly. So that sometimes they were a little confused.

18:26 Sometimes they died so quickly that they didn't maybe have the awareness of what happened, or it wasn't a very good awareness. But I also, the snapping of the fingers, like dying quickly, and also being maybe a little bit confused. And I also had light switches. So a light switch, if I saw a spirit turn off a light switch, it meant that the person was not, it's sort of like no pain, no suffering. It's sort of like they were here one minute, gone the next, but they did not, there was not a lot of energy put into the passing. So like lights out. Yeah, it's like there's no immediate, yeah, not a lot of suffering or pain in that passing.

19:17 So that could be somebody that that, you know, died while they were sleeping, or maybe died in a car accident, that it was an instant, you know, instant death, and they just didn't feel anything. So yeah. One of the other things I always thought was super cool is that when you were doing the TV show, I could be here, or I could be in New Brunswick, and you would be off filming. Because I went with you as much as I could, but I couldn't always. But I also think it's really cool how when you're connected, the way we are, I could feel through the energy of you talking like the night that I think the crew was playing a bunch of tricks on you and, you know, because they gave you the scary room and stuff. But I know you were having a hard time sleeping.

20:05 And I said, Well, there's a whole lineup of people outside the door spirit. And I could even tell that one was connected to some kind of religion and stuff like that. Now, I don't pick up on all of it, but I pick up on enough. And the same with like the Halifax Club, the minute you say things sometimes, I can pick up on the remaining answer to the beginning of what you said. So I think that's super cool. So what that actually what that is, is, you know, we're a couple. So we're a tune to each other's energy. But when you're hearing what I'm saying, there's energy vibration in my voice and the vibration in my voice is already leading you down that path. And you can connect with what's happening through, like you can connect to, let's say the Halifax Club through the vibration of my voice.

21:00 So you are seeing what I'm seeing. But even when you did the, the one bass, uh, bass Cowan. Oh, the boss Cowan in, yeah. I don't know if that's the one where you were rocking in the rocking chair. Yeah, that is the one you, it showed you on the show rocking and right away I could see a lady holding a baby. So it was stuff, again, stuff like that. So whether it be through your voice or through watching you on the show, I could still pick up on things like that. And we still do that when we're together in the house too, because, you know, we can read each other's minds without realizing we're doing it. We do that all the time. You could be out and I could be home thinking, man, I'd love to have some chocolate and home comes chocolate or cherries or a pineapple or, you know, whatever, but we often will say like somebody will, one of us will say, do you want a coffee?

21:55 And the other one's like, I was just thinking that, you know, that happens all the time. Yeah, constantly. And sometimes I use it to my benefit. I'm not going to lie. I'll sometimes know your eyes and I'll say, oh boy, whatever love to have, you know, sushi or something. And then you'll call and say, hey, I'm going to pick up some sushi. And I'm like, oh, okay, yeah, that'd be great. And I was already putting in your head plant in the seat. I didn't plant that thought in your head, not me. Oh, so yeah, there's all this, there's so much to this. So what I learned early was that I was sensing like a frequency or a vibration. So this wasn't really about, it's funny because we talk about the Klairs.

22:43 So clairvoyance, clairaudience, claircentians, claircognizance, and clairgustance, clairaliance. So there's six of them. So the Klairs basically are when energy comes into your field, but you perceive it with your, some of your physical sensations. So you May see something in your third eye, you May hear something with your, I'm going to say your energy ear. You taste something with the energy taste buds, but we're taking energy and we're letting that communicate to us with our physical senses. So learning that skill, that's part of what we're doing in the Klairs. Learning that skill helps you take energy frequency, which is the language of spirit and translate it into a message for somebody or translate it into a psychic impression.

23:36 Now I know, I'm going to say this, there's a lot of battles in the psychic world, meaning a lot of times psychics don't like each other, mediums don't like each other. I don't know why exactly all of this. Because each medium has a very strong personality. Yes, yes. So they believe their way. Yeah. You know, and for me, I believe a certain way. So I don't really care if people believe my way or not. It's important that I trust them, believe in what I believe in. And I'm really not concerned. I don't think I have as much. I don't care. Well, you don't have like the ego. Yeah, I don't. Yeah. And I would say that ego is kind of, it needs to be kept in check, but you'd need it.

24:26 I agree. If you're going to work in this field, because you have to have some level of confidence that what you're doing is exactly right. Otherwise, people won't listen. It's a field where you have to be very strong about who you are, knowing who you are. And you have to be very strong about what you feel and what you say. Because otherwise, yeah, it's just hard. So then there's integrity too, because one thing I've seen you do group readings enough. Um, you know, obviously, that I know you have so much integrity about how you do things. And you never want to cause people harm. It's not about how good you look. It's not about, you know, how many shocking things you can say to them. It's not premeditated.

25:11 It's you open up, you honor the space that's sacred. You know, every session is the same in the sense of how you carry yourself. And then you always I know, because I've been able to read you while reading someone else. And I know that you picked up some really harsh negative stuff, but you deliver in it in such a beautiful way. Because why would we want to hurt people that were reading or cause them more stress? Why would we do that? Yeah, we just wouldn't want to write. So that's one thing I've always loved and respected about you is how the way you handle how you're reading people, because it's about people's highest good and highest healing. And if you what I've observed is I know that I know sometimes you know more than what you say to I can feel it.

26:03 I can read you. And again, you use the same respect with your work is if it's not going to benefit them in the moment, or if it's something that can't be like stopped. You know, what's the sense in freaking somebody out or pushing them over the edge? If that's not going to help them. So if if information comes through that like you're talking about that, I maybe feel like it could hurt them rather than help them. Or maybe it's concerning and you know, they might go home worried or whatever. If information comes through like that, because I do trust spirit. But what happens is my actual psychic senses are strong. So sometimes I pick up on things that maybe they don't need to know.

26:51 Maybe it's not something spirit would want to share. So if I get something like that, I double check, right? Sort of do a double check with spirit. And they'll say yes, they need to know or no, they don't need to know right now. And I'm going to ask you to go a little further than that. Because sometimes went with my work, what I find is it'll repeat, repeat, repeat, meaning spirit won't let me not tell them by bugging the shit right out of me. Yeah. So that happens to you. That's right. That's a, you know, sort of separate. But that happens too, because I'll be doing a reading for somebody and realize that if I don't share what's come through, I can't get to the next point. So something might come through and spirit is very like adamant emphasizing this thing.

27:40 And they won't actually show me the next impression or the next point until I share that one. Right. So sometimes people come, especially to the group like events, people come and they know that it's taken a lot to get them there. And they know that it's going to be a really tragic story that's going to be told. And they know it might be triggering for them. So some people are sort of preparing themselves for that already. And they know that they're coming for a connection to their loved one, even though it's hard. So it's hard for me too to share those messages. And I have to be very careful. Like you said, like I'm doing things in somebody's highest good, but I also realize that sometimes people show up at these very public things, but they had to prepare themselves to come.

28:31 They know this is how they want to talk to their loved one. They're trying to be ready for it and they already know what could happen. And this happens a lot of times with tragic passings, missing people, somebody who has taken their life. Like this people will still come to the events and they're prepared for what you're going to say to them and they're ready. But I don't know that unless I feel it right from through the reading or from spirit. So sometimes spirit is kind of like beating it into my head. Like, you know, you have to, you have to say this, even if I don't want to, even if it's uncomfortable. I've seen that many times. And sometimes it's the personality of the spirit that is uncomfortable. Because I have had lots of spirits come through swearing, maybe not, you know, wearing all proper clothing.

29:24 That happened at a group reading recently where somebody, a spirit of a man showed up and his girlfriend was there at the reading. And he had, he's in the spirit world, but he showed up with no clothes on. And I'm trying to read him with like, how do you stop yourself from looking down at spirit and their, and their junk? I don't know. But anyway, just exactly what, you know, the gay psychic medium wants to see. So then I'm telling her, I'm telling her about her boyfriend. And I'm saying, and he doesn't have any clothes on. And she just burst out laughing. She said he would do that as a joke. He would show up, like she'd be coming over to his house and he would open the door and he'd be naked.

30:10 And he thought it was hilarious. But how could I, I didn't know that about, I didn't know this person, right? I love that. I'm not a lover of clothes either. So I can get it when it's a joke because it's, you know, I mean, if I had a choice, I'd walk around naked all the time. I guess it was about the shock value for him. I don't know. But yeah, so these difficult things can happen. And with when I'm training people, I have encountered so many different things that I can mentor and help people. If those awkward things happen and they don't know what to do, then part of what I'm doing is I'm actually teaching people to trust their own intuition, whether they should share or not. Because sometimes it's not a good idea.

30:59 And with missing persons, I do struggle with that. I have had multiple people come to me and want information about a loved one who's gone missing. And this is very difficult, especially when they're young people and it's parents. And you May feel that this person has passed, but it's very difficult to talk to the parents about that because they have hope that they're going to find their loved one. So and I actually don't, I trust what I feel, but I believe in miracles too. So I absolutely don't, would not crush somebody's hope or dream, you know, for what they wanted to happen. And when you've experienced miracles in your life, it's, it really is easy to not let yourself go that one step further because you do know that there, there's a chance.

31:54 And that's one thing I've always been really strict about with my work is people ask me all the time, do I feel like any sickness in them? And we have a really good friend that's had cancer more times than I can, I can count in, you know, this lady in New Brunswick that we love, she is gorgeous, just a beautiful woman. And she said cancer, I think three times, I'm not sure. But I remember working on her. Never did I ever pick that up in her body. But I did tell spirit that I did not want to know that stuff. Because I don't play God. I know you don't either. And I do believe in miracles and I do. I absolutely believe that some people come into this life to experience what it's like to die of cancer. I do. But I also believe there's people that came into this life to prove that miracles exist so that they could, you know, have something and then heal through it and from it.

32:49 So I believe that as well. I really think we need to talk about that further in another podcast about miracles, because we are coming at everything from a human perception. That's why when you get a message from the divine, that's why, you know, all of these things, I'm going to go through more of the signs that you might be a medium, but all of these signs don't make a lot of sense in our human perception. But we're not talking about dealing with something that's completely human. You know, the divine has to kind of mold messages into something we can make sense of in a way.

33:36 But when messages come from the divine, they typically don't make sense because it's coming from a divine place. It's not a human. It's not laid out in a human way. And we expect things as humans to happen in chronological order. You know, we expect things to happen in a certain way. And the divine says no, none of those rules apply to us. And we know what's best for you and you don't get to know. We might show you what we see for you, but you don't get to know how you're going to get there. So often I have people come to me and they'll say things like you know, I had this impression of what was going to happen in my life at this time. And it's totally different than what I saw. And I always say, but what do you feel?

34:22 Because the feelings are what matters. The feeling is what has the energy, most energy in it. So maybe they saw themselves in a different life, but the feeling was freedom. The feeling was fulfillment and gratitude and abundance. And they got that, but they just got it a different way than they thought. So it's so important that we can trust, that we trust those divine messages, even though they don't make sense to us or divine feelings. Because a lot of this stuff that happens doesn't make any sense. Like if you're hearing voices, so this is a touchy one because some people will say, oh, you're hearing voices. You're definitely crazy. But there is different things that you can feel as a tuned in person, somebody who May be called forward as a medium.

35:15 And one of the things that sometimes you hear, I call it residual energy. So sometimes maybe something very dramatic happened in a physical location. And it could have happened a long time ago, or there could be residual energy even from a happy event or happy family. So I've been in homes, like old homes, and it almost sounds like somebody is talking either in the next room or in the wall. There's like voices almost. And what that normally is, is like an echo from the past, like a leftover type energy. But hearing disembodied voices is actually a sign that you May be a medium. So it's, you're not, I mean, I can't say you're not crazy because I don't know who's listening, but I can say.

36:07 Hey, I say I'm the best kind of crazy person. Yeah, well, we're all a little crazy. But I can say that hearing these voices with no physical source is actually another sign. Yeah. And I think it's about what kind of voices are you hearing and what's the information they're feeding. Because some information is obviously spirits that are trying to lead you down the wrong road. Yes. Well, you do that is part of what I teach to you. I teach about moving into the higher vibrations because the lower vibrations can have all kinds of little naggy little nasty bugs in there. So I teach about moving in up in the frequency. So you don't have to deal with that. And there is a big difference because I have never, I mean, I can't say I've never had negative thoughts or like feedback from spirit, but it was when I was a kid.

36:59 But I have never as an adult had any negative that I can remember. So here's a weird one. I used to live in a house that was really close to a main road, but the main road probably years and years and years ago was just a dirt road. And I used to wake up in the middle of the night in here, like horse hoes galloping. Yeah. Like clop, clop, clop, clop, clop, clop. Clydesdale. And it was so strange because where my, like where my house was, I was very near to the main road. The main road was like it used to be just a dirt path that they built. They put the pavement on top of later and all that more modern. But back, back whenever, you know, 1700s, 1800s, it was horse drawn carriages.

37:49 And so sometimes at night I'd wake up and that's what I would hear. I would hear horses going back and forth. And I'm like, this is nuts. You know, not a horse in the area, but you know, I can hear the spirit horses, I guess. So this was, that is what I would call like a residual energy or people talking like kind of like muffled voices. Like you're at a party, but you know, how you can't really hear people's conversations, but hear all the voices. But when you hear that and there's no party, you're connecting with a vibration. Do you remember when we were at, I think it's okay to say, but we were up broadleaf doing a retreat. Yes. And it was the last day. And lots of things happened over that whole weekend. But the last day we were getting ready and packing up and we kept hearing voices.

38:36 Yes. To the point where we literally went outside and looked because everybody had gone home. It was just you and I making sure everything was clean and tidy before we locked up. But they were native people. Yeah, it was voices that you didn't understand. Like you couldn't understand the language, but you could hear them. Yeah. But the funny thing was we did get a feed on what we thought they were talking about because it and this is a really cool thing because when you hear the words, they're obviously talking in their own tongue. But when you get the information it's brought through to you in a way that you can very much understand. And it was so profound for us that day because, you know, really it was, it was native people that were upset at how the land was being used. And you know, any experience I've ever had with you or myself that native spirits not been happy on property.

39:27 It's usually because there's been all they really want is for somebody to acknowledge, right, what happened. And it's like a cleanup of the energy. Yeah, it's actually, it always felt like acknowledgement and asking permission. Right. Permission is the big one. No one asked their permission to be on that land and that land was important to them and probably sacred to them in many ways. So when we were leaving broadleaf, I wasn't the energy that weekend was really hard on me. I remember be feeling really not strong enough to do anything. And Kim and I, we set a small blessing before we left and we always sage everything like smudge everything when we're leaving places like that we did those things.

40:21 But basically it felt like we had to go back. Like we were called, we were going to be called back and I couldn't physically go back there. So I went back in a meditation and had this amazing crazy super cool. Yeah. So going back there and give it offering a blessing and offering help to native spirit. That's what ended up happening. I love these things. It's no different than when we bought this house and fellow that owned the house. He had passed in the driveway. He had a stroke and was passed in his own driveway. And then he hung around and I could tell you lots of stories but I think one of the coolest ones was when he literally he told me how much he loved what we were doing to the house because he was a hoarder.

41:07 So he had had all these things bought like there was two new toilets and there was a granite countertop with a sink and like there was flooring that was brand new like there was loads and loads of things that he had bought and had the intention of fixing. But I think he just got overwhelmed. But but the neat thing was one day he he had talked to me multiple times but this one day he talked to me and he literally said he was so happy with what we did. But he wasn't happy that the people we brought bought the house from was his sister and her husband. And he didn't say anything mean about them or anything like that. It was that he was saying I want you guys to have help because a few things had gone wrong after we bought the house and we were going after them for a few like for some of the money kind of want wanted to meet us halfway because it was supposedly good and we went by their word and some things weren't and this can this can happen to anybody.

42:06 There's no you know we're not trying to say no energy and they didn't in their defense like they didn't know the house. So they didn't know what happened. Yeah so just simply stating the fact that he said listen they're making lots of money off me. I love what you guys are doing. I'm going to help you guys get some money back because one thing our water system ended up costing us almost $12,000 which we did not have any idea about. So I thought how cool is it that this guy shows up to tell me that we need to go after them for some money. And he said I will make sure you get it. He he was so confident about it and I thought well this is kind of cool because this is his sister and her husband and you know we know there's no energy around how he felt about it. He just knew he had a lot of stuff.

42:51 He loved what we were doing. He wanted to help and I think that was like a for me that was super cool because he was directly interacting with me and giving me information and telling me what to do and I did do it and we did get money back. Right he helped us and it worked out. That's so cool that you know somebody that's past can show up and help you in a way because because he wouldn't stop. He kept bugging me and bugging me because he was telling me how much he loved what we did. Well so super cool. Super cool and honestly like we've gotten to a place now where these things are happening and they feel very common place but in the beginning I guess what I would notice like when spirit was around I would notice like I'd feel like somebody was in the room.

43:37 Well you could you could all you could hear him. This is partly on this what we were talking about today but we literally could hear him walking up the front steps because the wood it would crack. Yeah we would talk to him we'd say hey Wayne you know we know you're around whatever and then we'd start hearing the steps as if somebody was walking up the steps and they were cracking like making kind of creaking cracking noises when people would walk up them like physical people. And he sneezed or coughed too. Yeah we were here one day and we heard this loud male sneeze and at the time I mean there was no males and like no adult males in the house like my my son was here but he was only 13 right. So yeah it was kind of like what who is that but it was Wayne.

44:23 But don't you think that happens. This is this is one of the cool things about well there's so many cool things but vibration and information. So we're we're directly connecting to source like universal consciousness energy. So I always felt like the more again the energy is is like higher vibration. These things are more possible and I think that I would call like lower vibrational energy. It's just heavier. Harder to get through it. Is am I correct in saying that or what would you. Yeah so it it can be heavy. But I think it depends on where you are as a person. Like if you're in a good place you will probably automatically just snap into the higher vibration. Right. But I mean I've met lots of people in this work and maybe some things in their life aren't that good or maybe they haven't been thinking that positively awareness or there's you know illness or whatever.

45:19 But I've met people in this work that are thinking in a lower vibration. They're feeling in more of a fear place and they tend to get more of that. Now it's never been a thing like I know we said earlier psychics don't typically get along and all that but that's never really been a thing for me because I understand that we're all operating in our own personal vibration and so my vibration will only match up or reach out to the people that are sort of like me already. That's exactly how I would say it. Every person in this work that's out there doing it is giving off a vibration and they're attracting people to them that like that vibration or that vibration is good for them.

46:09 So I don't really see it as a problem because I think there's somebody for everybody Me too and it never you know but I would say that it wouldn't be very comfortable for me to go down to the lower vibration and be in a place of fear or be in a place of mistrust or negative thoughts. That wouldn't be comfortable for me but I see people that live there so you have to know if you're going to see somebody like that like as a reader that you're probably going to get more negative information because that's just where they are. I agree. So that's just something to kind of note and it's not really like I said it's not something that really phases me because the people that come my way are already set up to hear from me. Anytime that you book a reading Spirit already knew you were going to book that reading like months years before so the plan's already set in place.

47:02 This isn't something that you just think you woke up one morning and said I want a reading. You know Spirit's already been campaigning for this reading to happen for a long time. So you're like last to know. You're the one booking the reading but you're the last one to know that this is happening. So Spirit's already ready for you and that's kind of the thing with becoming a medium I think or even seeing the signs. It's happening to you but you're probably the last one to know. Your spirit team, your spirit guides, the universe, the angels around you they already know. They know what you're here for. They know what you're going to do and if you're feeling called into mediumship it's not a mistake. It's not a mistake.

47:48 That's it. I trust so much. When I put these courses out there's always this little doubt the little human dope creeps in like oh my god what if nobody signs up. But what I've learned is it's always exactly what it's meant to be. What it's meant to be. The right people are always there. And sometimes people take the course and they go you know like this is this was a really good baseline for me but I'm not ready to continue right now but some people take the course and they want to take level two and level three right away and they're ready to go. So it's all very individual because your spiritual journey is individual but I can say the signs that you're being called into mediumship are usually pretty clear cut.

48:35 And one of them that we've experienced both Kim and I is ear ringing. Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. If you know I mean obviously some people have tinnitus and they already know that and I get it. But this is like. It's like you it sometimes with me it starts in my left ear and then it'll go right through my right ear and both of them are vibrating. Like it's like oh. And I find that when when powerful we'll say when powerful energies are at play you know we're talking archangels we're talking like ascended masters somebody's trying to get your attention your you your ears ring at such a high pitch and there's this high pitch noise high pitch like frequency that I hear when people are passing.

49:24 So there's a whole bunch of different things you can we could talk about there but just to know your ringing can be a sign that you're having a spiritual awakening and being led down the path of mediumship. Another one is like all the physical signs that we get. So I had this is just from readings but I have had people with not just the usual signs like some people get dimes and feathers and you know different types of birds or animals and sometimes it's in the cloud sometimes the electricity is flicking off and on. Sometimes your smoke alarm goes off when it's it's directly connected through the electrical system. So if you were listening to last week's podcast we have a spirit who's playing with our smoke detector right now and it's very predictable when it happens we know who it's connected to and we know it's a certain spirit.

50:19 So if I this week I stopped and I said lesson and I said his name and I said I hear you I know you're here you need to stop. The smoke detector went off like it stopped stopped right away stopped ringing right away because we were a little bit annoyed because sometimes it used to happen in the middle of the night and it always happens right before I'm going home to New Brunswick because this person is from New Brunswick and there's usually always something going on that they're trying to communicate with the person we know where we're going to see yeah. So yeah but I wanted to just say that your signs from your loved ones in spirit sometimes are very specific to you right. And so to watch out for things that stand out to you and that keep coming up and coming up because these are from readings mind you but I wanted to share them just because they're different.

51:15 I had a reading a while ago that struck me because a lady booked with me she wanted to speak to her husband who was in spirit. He had long hair and he always wore it in a ponytail. So his message to her that he was around was a hair elastic. So she would get up in the morning and there'd be a hair elastic on the floor and there was none there the night before or she'd go into her office and there'd be a hair elastic sitting in the middle of her desk. You know wasn't there before. So you got to pay attention right because your signs and symbols May be specific to loved ones that they're trying to just get your attention. They're trying to say hey wake up. This isn't you're not imagining this. This isn't fake. This is real real real.

52:00 So the other thing that came up in a reading was H the letter H. So I have read this beautiful lady another lady who lost her husband but she was seeing H's everywhere and that was the first initial of his name. So he he found a way to show her that he was still there by bringing these H's forward in different ways in her life. Now you May feel like all these things so you May feel okay you don't feel alone even when nobody physically is there. You May be seeing shadow people that was one we didn't get to talk about but shadow people are sort of in your peripheral you might see like a shadow or an outline of a person in a shadow and when you turn your head to look at it it's gone but you can see it in your peripheral and then you turn your head oh no not there but you have the feeling it's not just that you see the shadow it's also the feeling that someone is there.

53:04 So lots of people ask me what this is. I do think it is like just like the third eye thing and seeing the faces I think it's a part of the path it's a part of the progression it's a part of you opening up to the energy world and it doesn't have anything to do with necessarily contacting spirit in that moment because our human brain wants to go oh my god there's a spirit standing right there I must talk to them what do they want you know or you run away because some people are really scared. There's a shadow chasing me but but I'll tell you that in my experience it seems to be it seems to be collected energy that is there again to make you pay attention to wake you up to the fact that spirit is around you and that you can communicate but it May not necessarily be an intelligent energy that you can talk to.

53:58 So I often when people say they see shadow people I look at that as a point on the journey that's sort of like a part of the process of becoming spiritually aware it just seems to happen and sometimes there's not a lot of meaning to it but I have seen shadow people that it's an actual like haunting so you were talking with the helifax club one of the scenes we went down into the basement because there's tunnels underneath the helifax club and there's tunnels all over helifax and people kind of lots of theories thrown around what they're for I think they were just for running rum I think they were rum running tunnels but there's other theories anyway when we were down in the basement there it looked like I didn't see it right away but I saw a shadow man walk through the brick wall and walk past me into another room and this is like this is like a dark creepy basement this is not a nice you know sheetrock bright light basement okay this is a cement this is a creepy basement with it's a cement dirt floor and stone walls but when I went over to the wall where I saw him come through it used to be a door so you could see the archway of the door

55:16 In the old stone and then you could see the new stone kind of brick laid all up in in the middle of it so it was obvious to me that he was walking through a door that used to be there and then he walked along and walked walked away so is that like an intelligent haunting it might be residual energy it might be like that that echo from the past it might not be anything important it could be a haunting but he didn't stop and talk to me he just kept going so so here's a funny one when the first time or one of the first times you and I went down the Peggy's Cove and we were you know doing some hiking around the area it was it was quite a quite an experience for me because the first thing I seen was a bunch of skeletons in the water so and I remember telling you it was like oh my gosh like I see a whole bunch of skeletons and they were like you know right off the rocks so they were all just it just looked like something terrible had happened and there was all these you know people that had passed in some big event and then you told me about yeah so Peggy's Cove has quite a history because we not only have the modern day problem of people falling in the water going on the

56:33 Where they're not supposed to go everybody in Nova Scotia knows do not go on the black rocks but we have tourists that come and even though there's 30 million signs down there people avoid the signs they they still go down on the black rocks if they slip into the water that you can't get back out because it's the way the rocks are very slippery and the ocean at the currents are very strong so we have that but Peggy's Cove is a fishing village so they've lost a lot of lives there's a lot of lives lost there and then we had the Swiss air disaster so we actually had an airplane crash in the waters near Peggy's Cove it's not really Peggy's Cove but and that's what my impression was that's that's the impression I got the Swiss air plane went into the ocean fishermen from Peggy's Cove I think this was probably 15 to 20 years ago fishermen from Peggy's Cove got in their boats and went to go help and this wasn't a good rescue mission they were pulling body parts and things out of the water so very very difficult time for our area and Kim didn't know about it because she's from New Brunswick and didn't hear about it so we go down to Peggy's Cove and she could hear crying

57:49 And then she could see skeletons in the water like floating in the water and asking me why like why and it's there's been a lot of tragedy in such a beautiful place you wouldn't expect it but there has been a lot of tragedy there so it you can see energy in many different ways but I feel like and you can you could be drawn to something different you could be drawn to a different mode of healing you could be drawn to energy healing Reiki sound healing you know I'm drawn to blank there's so many different types but you could be drawn to any type of you know healing or any type of work within energy but when you are called as a medium it feels like you have something inside of you that is it's sort of bursting it's it wants to come from you it wants to come out of you and what happened to me in the beginning was I started to go places and have almost like anxiety because spirit would start to come in they'd have a strong message they'd really want to talk to somebody and if I did not share those messages I ended up carrying around anxiety for the next couple days

59:06 Because spirit is there wants to talk needs to work through you this is part of your work and opening up to becoming a medium was the beginning for me to trusting myself to knowing myself to feeling like a complete whole person in this life because previous to that I felt like I was just trying so hard like working so hard at everything I did but not really finding my place feeling out of place almost everywhere and not feeling like I was you know doing what I should be doing with my life but having no idea what to do so it was really important to me to create this course and create a space for people to feel like they can be actually mentored through it and they can use all my experience and knowledge to build on instead of having to go there and do with themselves are there other courses?

59:58 Yes you know are there books? Yes but this course has been channeled through me not just my experiences spirit have given me a lot of the meditations that are in the program so these meditations are coming straight from spirit to teach you how to connect with them this is not like me saying or human saying you know these are the steps to get there this is all spirit led everything I do is spirit led and so if you're feeling like you've maybe feel kind of alone you maybe feel like you're not connecting with everybody in your life right now you're maybe feeling like this is such a huge task like how do I go about learning about myself the self development that you gain through opening up as a spiritual being is priceless you begin to feel like you know yourself and that is a big part of this course is knowing yourself because when you know your own energy you know when some other energy is coming in so you not only are learning how to talk to spirit you're becoming more confident in who you are and learning everything about yourself so when we get to the end

1:01:14 And we have all the people that came through the level three it was just so beautiful to watch them confidently and clearly present evidence of spirit and deliver messages and feel like you know they could do it and I had had different types of mediums in the course they were doing different things and yes there are different types of mediums and one one of the ladies said to me she said when I started this I knew I was spiritually attuned but she said I never thought I was a medium I just wanted to do the course because I just love the subject matter so much she got to the third level and she said I can't believe it I can actually say I'm a medium now yeah I love that and she did the most beautiful reading for somebody it was so so perfect so yeah I I have to say that this is it's a special group special group of people always shows up and you'll make connections with people that you never thought you know you could make some lifelong connections here you'll make some friendships too I love that because I have the pleasure of teaching the fourth class of the first uh first level the first level and I always get a kick out of

1:02:29 The diversity like where they're from so many different places and it's just really cool to see different people that show up and we all are coming together for one one main purpose one focus and it's really beautiful and that one focus is actually just to increase the vibration help other people feel better feel like they fit into feel like they can you know get messages from their loved ones feel like they you know can still talk to their loved ones their loved ones are still there through you so and there's so many gifts so many gifts to me there's such a responsibility when you decide to live in this you know that it's part of your life and it's it is our life for you and I it's everything about us and even to the point where I find it very hard to sleep overnight at like most people's homes now we have found a few places that are easier but I know that you know even staying with my kids who I love and adore my son has four kids and they did have two dogs and a cat and every time Laura and I would go there to stay overnight it was it was always full of love and energy that way but boy oh boy was it ever like buzzy very hectic you know very hectic because you can imagine

1:03:44 It was hectic you know busy energy yeah so different things you know and my daughter where she lives the energy is totally different in a different way and sometimes I can't sleep at certain places so now I'm really fussy where I stay because I find if I don't get a good night's sleep and you can imagine different spirit in different places but you really get sensitive to it yeah oh I should say that too like you know night time is a very sensitive time yeah and it can be quite active and and you can have spirit like we're talking about all these kind of more subtle signs of mediumship if spirits come into you in dreams and you're having like full-on conversations with them and then you feel them holding your hand you feel them hugging you if you're if spirits come into you and materializing when you're awake and like come on like what clear sign do you need that you're a medium yeah right like I've had people come to me and they'll say oh yeah like my grandmother sat on the end of the bed and she told me all about her death and everything and I'm like and how do you think that you're not a medium hmm I think that's super cool because like when mom was passing her mother and two sisters showed up like multiple different times you know and I've gotten loads of things and I think I even love

1:05:01 The way information is brought through because to me it's it's like I meditate a lot I spend a lot of time quiet outside with the earth and I get messages just crystal clear the knowings are really fast yeah you know but I still love how they show up in different ways you know and it's it's never the same way sometimes but there's just so many ways that it shows up and the more I would say the more you're okay with it the more it's going to happen because it happens to me all the time and I got to say that there is a myth out there too that you have to be born a medium yeah I don't believe that you don't have to be born a medium it doesn't matter how your life unfolds if you're called to do this you are just called to do this and I have met people that have had near-death experiences or like crazy health issues or something really dramatic happens in their life like a house fire or something and it just wakes up all their abilities and they're like wow like I wasn't like this before but now I am so or through commitment and dedication and work because mediums like Suzanne Giesman who is like quite popular

1:06:17 In the US she worked for the military the US military and then her stepdaughter passed away and when her stepdaughter passed away the spirit of her stepdaughter started talking to her so can you imagine how that made her feel a very respectable honorable educated woman and all of a sudden some invisible energy is talking to you and it's your stepdaughter I mean so she had this huge awakening and became a medium so this is not something you have to be born with this is not something that you know it doesn't have to be it doesn't have to be hard or daunting this is a this is a process of loving yourself and allowing this is a process of surrendering to who you are but also knowing that this is a sacred call and it's meant to be respected so it does become your lifestyle it's not just something that you go oh I'm going to be a medium today but tomorrow I'm going to go drink a bottle of wine and have a party you know like it's kind of like you are a medium every day right so you deal with being a medium through every experience through every circumstance and I I do believe some people are absolutely born medium like I believe you are absolutely born medium and I think it's ironic that

1:07:33 You became a school teacher and then got taken out of that profession with this crazy accident car accident and I mean I remember when I first met you I just literally looked at you and said yeah well you weren't supposed to do that but it's perfect that you did it because you know I watch you all the time and even when I'm getting ready to do some of my work I go hello teacher can you come over here because I need some of your skills yeah so I yeah like my life has unfolded exactly the way it was supposed to absolutely and everyone else's does too exactly so we just have to trust more so the magic of mediumship level one starts September 13th I believe it is so if you are interested in this please get in touch with me because the class it's starting to fill up I'm starting to get people interested and I need to know you know numbers are good to know so get in touch with me if you are interested in this even if you just want to ask questions like I will I really appreciate that this is a can be a big decision for somebody and sensitive for some people right so if you need to ask questions just send an email laurawarrenmedium.com or you can go to my website laurawarrenmedium.com
