Hello, everyone. Welcome to our episode of it's Me, not you. I am joined by my fabulous co host. Hello, Melissa. Hi. Hi, Jake. Hello. So we'll let everyone know as we. Get started with this. Rachel's having some internet issues. So if I am cutting in and out and Jake and Melissa are looking like they're laughing at me, that's why. So we're going to try to roll with it because it's a good topic for today because we're going to be talking about different kinds of spirits encounters and the field guide to them, which maybe spirit is messing with me right now. My internet connection is unstable. Maybe I am as well. So I'm going to tee this off to Jake. So, Jake, tell us all about spirits encounters and take it away. Hello, all my spooky people. Thank you for joining us this week. So today we really wanted to just kind of talk about different kind of spirits that we cross on our paths doing, whether that be investigations or even just client work, house clearings, anything like that, or even just from day to day travel because spirits are everywhere. So we were just chatting yesterday about coming up with ideas and I just thought it would be really fun to kind of talk about a little bit like of a field guide, the Jurassic Park field guide to spirits and whatnot. I am just giggling because Rachel screen keeps freezing, but you've got like a big smile on your face, so you just look really static and excited about this episode. Even though I am not comfortable with jake and Melissa are visual, so they are clairvoyant and they see everything. And Rachel, she's not down with that. So, Jake and Melissa, I applaud you for not being afraid and for being open and all of that stuff. So go ahead, Jake. Go ahead, Melissa, because my internet sucks and I might as well just not talk. Oh, my God. Well, I'm really excited for you, Rachel, just as a side note because I think it's going to get real spooky for you in these next handful of months. I can just sense that the mediumship is like coming up to the surface and I'm so fucking excited about that. We are going to go to one of Rachel's spots to chat with all of her layers of spirits that we couldn't clear because there were too many. We were like 20,000, 30,000. Okay. Yes. It was wild. I loved it. Go ahead, Jake. I know. Go ahead. Or Melissa. Oh, no, it wasn't anything intelligent. You can go ahead. Okay, melissa, go ahead. There's no being on track today types of spirits for me, outside of the angelic ascended masters, I think there's a lot of spirit types that we encounter day to day that people are familiar with. The first is our ancestor spirits, our loving ones that are with us all the time. I've had the question too. What about the ones who weren't good to us when they're here, are they around? And I don't know about for you, Jake, but when I do readings, usually if the person wants to talk to that person, st. Michael will kind of bring them in in black tourmaline handcuffs for me. And when it's like that, they're not sorry, so there's nothing. It's like, well, and then other times they don't want to talk to the person, but that person comes in to apologize, even if they wouldn't have apologized in this plane for me. The other part with the ancestors, like, there's lots of knowledge. I've gotten a lot of good recipes. I can't wait to make the heather jelly recipe from one. I'm going to try it. It's literally from the spirit. Heather is from Scotland. It is good for like, colds and stuff, so I'm going to go for it. Listen, spirits can be educational, too. I love that. And the lady was so mean. Like, get it right. Okay. This is challenging because I don't hear I see and then I get the info. I don't know if you can hear them at the same time, but for me, it's a lot of charades. It can be a lot of charades. Sometimes I will hear them, but it's kind of like when I tune into a radio station, I'll get maybe a full sentence and then maybe a couple of words sparsely, and then I just have to kind of intuitively just happen for the understanding of, like, what the hell are you trying to tell me, girl? But usually when there's a will, there's a way. It's always interesting how some spirits will decide to communicate, but I want to double back on what you had said, just when a spirit will come forward that somebody's not looking to maybe chat with, or maybe that spirit is not so adamant about wanting to chat either. I always find it really interesting. I know that we always talk about, oh, when people cross over, they start to learn lessons and they heal, et cetera, et cetera, but I feel like we don't talk enough about the spirits who don't necessarily just heal, grow, and revamp the entire personality just because they've been dead for 20 years. I have had several sessions where some spirits will come forward and they are maybe not apologetic, haven't done any work on the other side to make themselves a better person. And also, sometimes people just aren't that way, is frankly what I'm trying to say here. I always think it's interesting when it's very TV side during medium sessions that somebody will come forward with maybe an uncle who maybe had abused them in their life when they were living and then comes forward wanting to apologize. I don't know about you, Melissa, but I have crossed paths with spirits in sessions before where they don't necessarily have anything positive to say or they don't necessarily have the tools yet to own up to what they did, right? Spirits, they were still people. And I think that there's a lot of different variables to that, whether that be life contracts. Maybe they weren't supposed to apologize for what they did in this timeline, or maybe it's just not the right time for you to hear that at this moment. I call it the healing couch. And one of the things that I have seen, and this is just how they show it to me, is that when there is somebody who's not a good person, they have to oh, this was so funny yesterday. I read for this person and I'm like, do they have alcoholism and the dead grandma's? Like, they have assholism anyway. I don't. Even know where it's going. I'm all, we're going to put that in the diagnosis books, right? Assholism. Which is just so funny. You have a case of assholeitis leading into assholism. Right? But I do think that I see them as grays, and then I see that they have to go back in time when they hurt that person and feel everything, like, immersed in that energy to really understand what they did. Yeah, it's a really interesting process. I always feel like I get different versions of the story of what happens on the other side, and it really seems like it's such a unique to everybody, unique to how are they going to be receptive, to learning a lesson? What kind of modalities would be acceptable for them? Is this something that they can just kind of cross right over and get right into learning for or do they have to kind of be astray for a little bit? It's really fascinating. So I always am a little trepidacious when I talk to people about their sessions. When they go out and they're like, oh, I had a reading. And my terrible, terrible grandmother that was awful to all of us, immediately started apologizing, even though it's not her. Definitely. That's where we want to kind of double back to evidential mediumship, of course, making sure that we're validating their existence, validating details. And then, of course, if it's an apologetic message, I love that for you, and I hope that you get the closure that you deserve. But at the same time, I've had people that I know in my close family that will have sessions, and they're like, no, I'm not interested in hearing from so and so because I just am not interested in hearing it, and that's fine. And then I hang up the phone. I mean, to me, it's like picking up the phone to heaven. Like, okay, you want to talk to this person? Let's see if they're there and if they're not, sorry, they just won't come through. Or sometimes I only get a little bit of energy and it says somebody else is sick or something's happening. I can't give you energy now, and they disappear quick. It's also funny sometimes how well, spirits will come in with their own agenda. And even though it's a spirit that the person across from you is not interested in hearing from, they're, like, taking up the time, sucking up the energy in the room. And unfortunately, sometimes I've had to cut a session short for the day and be like, you know what? Let's reconvene another time, because this friend is certainly not interested in taking a step back and reading the room. St. Michael is good, though. He'll come in, I'm like, get bailiff. Get him out of here. Yes. Samuenko is really good for that, too. I also think that Quan Yin is really nice too, during sessions for that same reason, especially for kind of tampering down the energies in the room, the emotional side on both ends, and kind of having a little bit of like a diplomatic conversation sometimes. Especially when we're talking about situations that are maybe full of a lot of grief or full of a lot of stress or whatever that might be. Quanyan is a really excellent spirit, especially for all of our healers and channelers out there that are listening to kind of help mediate the session and kind of give us the words and give us the flow that's appropriate. Melissa, what about let's talk about the spookier spirits or some of the interesting energies. I don't know about you. Some of your ancestors can be oh, my God. Totally. So for me, my favorite ones that I see from time to time, I call them corner climbers. So the ones when you're looking in doorways and you see, like, the bunch of hands climbing up the doorway. Yes. And for me, I don't know about you, but for me, what I've noticed is that they seem to be a bunch of smaller spirits, not necessarily human in nature, but smaller spirits that kind of, like, band together, but like to make themselves appear spookier. And they will usually find themselves in areas that already have hauntings or maybe a lot of activity. Spirits are often kind of like squatters. When there's an empty house or an empty plot of land, they'll all set up shop. It becomes a village. Energy loves a void. Yes. And it becomes this really interesting crossroads of a bunch of different things, human and non human. So the corner climbers are kind of my favorite because I just feel like they're comedically spooky. And then people are like, oh, it's so cool. I love it. Let's have it in my house. I'm like, Stop inviting that crap. No, exactly. Thank you. And that's why I won't watch scary movies either, because that stuff is real and I'm not. And saying, hey, come in my living room. No, thank you. Yes. That is something that I find really interesting, too, especially, like, watching scary movies or sometimes just like when you do things around maybe like Halloween time for a lot of people that just are inviting to particularly spooky perspectives or having yourself in a spooky psyche for a moment. It does kind of invite a little bit. It's not necessarily like you're opening a door, but it is kind of like, oh, I wish something spooky could happen. And those little corner climber things I usually find are only in houses that are just haunted and never been cleansed before, or for people who are like I find a lot with people who are chronic paranormal investigators but don't do the clearing work. It's kind of like they have souvenir spirits that they take home with them. So that's always an interesting thing to stop by. Here's a good one. Let's talk about shadow people. Let's talk about shadow people, because I have very interesting opinions on it by way of I do think that there's two different things when we talk about shadow people. There's real shadow people, and then there's the silhouettes of spirits that just are black shadows. And the way that people perceive spirits is completely up to you your gifts, ability, your background. And for some people who aren't visual, it's very common for you to see spirits as a silhouette like that, as maybe shadowy silhouette, because it's your conscious mind kind of almost erasing the image that your psychic mind is trying to see. So all you're left with is that kind of little, like, shadow blip thing. And so a lot of people will be panicked and horrified because the Discovery Channel Ghost Adventures will talk about shadow people and be like, oh, harbingers, of misfortune, death, illness, blah, blah, blah. And sure can be probably maybe. But a lot of times it is just a spirit that we're not all will be Goldberg, so we're not always going to see it. And so I do think that that's an interesting thing that I do kind of have to field out from time to time in sessions, also in house clearings, that just because you see a shadow does not mean that it's a shadow person. Thomas if you saw a shadow person, we'd have bigger fish to fry here. What's a shadow one? Like a real shadow person? Yeah. Okay, so a real shadow person, honestly, their origin is a little bit in the gray to a lot of people. Some people think that they are alien in nature, meaning just that they're from a different dimension, or some people believe that they are just supernatural phenomena which have never been human, but they take on the look or the guise of humans. And for me, usually I find that shadow people just happen to be attracted to areas that maybe experience a lot of death, loss, tragedy, things like that. I don't particularly think that they actively bring said tragedy, but I do think that they might inflame the existence of those things once they are there. Oh, God, I'm forgetting what it was. Didn't it used to be crows? I think was the old wives tale that people thought crows brought misfortune, but it was just that they happened to come during times of misfortune. So a lot of times people would equate them with sickness, death, whatever bad things that you could possibly make up with financial destruction. So shadow people, I don't think that they're necessarily just wandering into a place one day and bringing all this bad stuff. I think it's just that they happen to vibrate at a similar frequency and find themselves in these areas. Think of princess and frog. If you watch Disney Shadow Man and the Shadow Beast. Yes, that's a great way to put it. So I get a lot of Disney good movie but I've also seen where an individual was really afraid of death and he'd wake up with all of these bruises and I kept trying to clear and he was still getting bruises and I saw these shadows come out of him and it was his own energy like attacking himself because it was fears. And when you do that much and it's called the thought form, but the thought form can then almost become their own shadow people and it's all an internal struggle. That was crazy. I was like, I don't know. Yes, so that's a really fascinating topic too, to talk about. I mean, I've had a couple of different household things that I've went to clear only to find out that it was a resident of the home who is highly sensitive, who is creating poltergeist adjacent activity from their own ESP abilities. So being able to create faux hauntings, faux supernatural phenomenon, whether that be sleep paralysis, even other people in the house will start to see it. That's what's really so fascinating about all of this is that we as humans like to I think that often we interpret ourselves as just being able to be mediums or channels and then we forget that there really is another side to this where we really do have that ability. Especially if we can be energy healers, then we could be energy manipulators. It happens very often in young children who didn't have to grow up yet. So they're kind of uninhibited. Their imagination just wanders, which is a beautiful thing. But sometimes when you are extra sensitive, not a great thing. And so for that you can do all the smoke clearing that you want, you can do all the angelic healings that you want into a place. But it's really about how do we mediate the individual, how do we find the person in the house that is creating the phenomenon. Obviously we're not making them the perpetrator here or putting a wanted sign out for them, but we are going to find ways to kind of tamper down that energy. Whether that be finding some crystals that that child could work with or that adult could work with. To be frank, it could be grown adults too. Crystals, herbal remedies, making sure that they are doing relaxation techniques, probably encouraging them to read a couple of books about energy, about psychic awareness, to kind of discipline themselves a little bit because that kind of stuff doesn't necessarily just stop when it's not intervened. And there's some internal healing that needs to be done too, because I think a lot of that starts from the thought form. Like why do I always have bad luck? Well, because you have some dialogue that you keep repeating that has now created this thought form and now you have that EOR bubble following you around. Then it becomes a pig pen bubble. And now you have all this stuff happening because you keep feeding it. So once you do that internal work, it's like you're putting the genie back in the bottle and. You can kind. Of get rid of that way too, but you still have to do the external healing. But a lot of that is that internal piece that is festering it out. Like a lot of the teenagers that they say they're the reason for the poltergeist, well, they're going through crazy change. We don't always do much to support change for teenagers. It's not like we're in a culture of celebrating transitions or how to deal with that stuff and the bullying and everything else. Well, that can create an energy. Oh, it is usually my first question if I start to suspect that we are dealing with something poltergeist adjacent or something of that sense, my first question is, is there any kids in the house that are going through puberty? Is there any Tweens in this house? Is there anybody crossing a big threshold in growth? Because it usually is. And you're right, it's that hormonal experience. I would say more than often. It is usually younger females who typically have an issue with kind of projecting all of that. And I find that younger males, it can be a little bit interesting sometimes. It could be very confrontational, the energy that's kind of created from that, the little silhouettes or the little dreams. Whereas though, if it's a female one, it's going to be very intelligent. So moving things around, communication, hearing phrases and words, turning electricity off, turning on appliances. And I'm not really sure what causes that difference. But I do find that typically, historically, young children, female and male, will have different kind of ways that they kind of portray themselves the supernatural activity. Oh yeah, I think it's just how you tend to be as an individual, how you organize your energy and that organization of your energy is then kind of external at the same time. Oh, let's see, these two are all over the place. Listen, there's so much to talk about. In terms of it is it's so fun and we might as well talk about the demon thing because people are probably like, okay, well, that's dark and I don't know about you, but personally I don't see that many. Not that I'm challenging anything. I don't want to, but that's very rare. Honest. You're going to be really hard pressed to actually find a dynamic oh, my God. A demonic entity, really? Anywhere. It's so few and far in between. There are plenty of not fun spirits or spirits that are maybe aggressive or nasty in nature and just make themselves look a certain way. But I seldom will ever come across an activity or a client might approach me and be like, I think there's a demon here. It is usually never there's usually other explanations. You have to be doing some really interesting stuff or have the misfortune of just living on a very misfortuned land to have something even adjacent to a demonic experience. Yeah. Rachel and I took a clearing class recently with Michelle, which we love her, and she kind of explained it like black pepper on your mashed potatoes, like your chances are of seeing one. Is that black pepper? Absolutely. And I only want to say that because kind of as we wrap up, I know we're all over the place, but in a good way. That's what you get with the three of us. Exactly. You guys love it. So it's just I don't want people to walk in fear because fear feeds negative. And that's why I just wanted to bring up, like, don't put your energy into that kind of stuff, the black pepper, if you will, which black pepper is used in a lot of places to break curses. Yeah, it's a beautiful magical ingredient. So yeah, it's not about fear. It's about understanding. And then just get rid of them. Understand for the most part. Spirits are so friendly. They really are. The most majority of spirits were human, too. And even the non human spirits, there are a lot of energy. Spirit, spirits that are in nature, spirits that house spirits. Let's talk about house spirits for a moment. Every house has a soul to it. So I always tell people, make a fun little offering dish. It can be some brown sugar, it could be a pastry. If you make something snack, offer it to your house. Your house really does have a soul. And when you offer things to it, when you give blessings to it, you strengthen that spirit. You strengthen the energy of it, and it in turn will protect you. It will bring you prosperity, abundance, love, joy. When you take care of the house that you are in or occupying, even if it's an apartment, the building has a spirit to it. So when you feed it, it's in turn kind to you. Spirits are very whole episode on that. I think we really should. Yeah, I think we really should. So let's plan on our next episode. We'll talk about the soul and spirit of your home and your property and all that good fun stuff. I know I'm delayed, so one more thing we want to talk about is melissa, have we talked to you about extending your car warranty. They say that your warranty is running up at the end of the month. Your great grandmother's here. She would like to talk to you about solar panel options. Let's talk to you about WiFi levels. Clearly, Rachel has none. Uncle Terry would like to discuss how you could expand your broadwood this month at a low price of 1999 for 29 99. All right, well, thank you guys so much for another amazing episode. Everyone have a great day.
