What If You’re More Powerful Than You Think? — With Nicola Farmer (Part 2)

What if the thing you’ve been searching for… is already within you?

In Part 2 of this conversation with Nicola Farmer, we go deeper — beyond the ideas, beyond the concepts — into what it actually feels like to trust your intuition, your awareness, and the connection to something greater than yourself.

This isn’t about learning something new.
 It’s about remembering what’s already there.

We explore the subtle (but powerful) shift that happens when you stop forcing, stop overthinking, and begin to trust what’s naturally coming through.

Because the truth is…
 Most people aren’t disconnected.

They’re just not listening.

🔊 What you’ll hear:

•  Why you may already be more intuitive than you realise 
•  The difference between thinking… and knowing
•  What happens when you stop forcing and start allowing 
•  How doubt quietly blocks your natural awareness 
•  The feeling of connection when you begin to trust it 

👤 Who this episode is for:

•  Anyone who feels there’s “something more” but can’t quite explain it 
•  People wanting to deepen their intuition or spiritual connection 
•  Those stuck in overthinking and looking for clarity 
•  Anyone curious about what happens when you actually trust yourself

💭 Mentions & ideas:

•  Awareness vs overthinking 
•  Trusting intuitive feelings 
•  Letting go of control 
•  Connecting to something beyond the logical mind 

⚠️ Gentle note:

This episode explores themes around intuition, awareness, and spiritual connection. Take what resonates, and trust your own experience above all else.

– Intro

SPEAKER_00 0:14

Hello, it's me, Jason Paul, and you're here in the SoulSig, and it's lovely to have you here. Now, there's such a funny story behind this next guest. So I recently went on a course to develop my mediumship, and I came across a medium called Nicola Farmer. And straight away I felt such a pull to her. Um, the way that she explains mediumship, her knowledge is just absolutely incredible. And I felt like I was drawn to her like a kind of long-lost spiritual sister. And then the funniest thing happened, we went to give each other one another's number, and she was saved in my phone as the Jedi. And I thought, the Jedi? I would never save someone into my phone like that. So then me and Nicola went on a quest because I was then saved in her phone, and we had no recollection of that at all. So what then ended up happening was Nicola found that I'd uh messaged her. So in the very early days of soulsing, I recorded a lot of episodes when I was testing out the concept. Um still, to be quite honest with you, just trying to work out what was going on because the spirit world had come into my life at such force. Um, and then I was doing a podcast about it, and my brain was about to implode in all honesty. Um, but me and Nicola actually recorded a conversation, and this is today's episode. So I have to tell you firstly, Nicola is one of the most wonderful, most knowledgeable um mediums, and she's got such a beauty and authenticity to her mediumship, which is truly, honestly wonderful to see. And to have her on the podcast, uh, not just once, but twice, because this is part one of a part two. Because when I was on the course with Nicola, um, I said to her, Nicola, please come on to the sourceing. Um, and it turns out it already has a on. Um, you know, I should even agree to come back, to be quite honest with you, uh, because I thought I'd lost the recording and now I found the recording again. Anyway, quite a lot of drama, quite a lot of story behind this episode. So, anyway, there really is something that happens when you sit with someone who truly understands the unseen. Not kind of in theory, not in performance, but in lived experience. And that is our next guest, Nicola Farmer. And today's conversation really is one of those moments you're gonna hear a lot about mediumship, about connecting to spirit, and about the idea that it's something more beyond this physical world. Now, in mediumship, to sort of truly open yourself up, to trust something that you can't see, and to allow that connection to guide your life really is quite something. Now, Nicola is someone who doesn't just talk about this world, she really does live it. It's such a depth, a calmness and a knowing that comes from a real sense of with the other world. Not forcing, not trying, just allowing, which is the true essence of mediumship, and that's where this conversation begins. Enjoy. So, Nicola, firstly, a massive warm welcome onto the Soul Sick podcast.

– Welcoming Nicola Farmer (Part 2 Begins)

SPEAKER_02 3:33

Thank you. Very excited to be here.

SPEAKER_00 3:36

I'm very excited to be here. Honestly, before we push the record button, we couldn't stop talking, so I don't think we're gonna be short of things to say today. So to start off, sorry, go on.

SPEAKER_02 3:47

Anybody that's watching this that knows me will be aware of that anyway.

SPEAKER_00 3:51

Uh honestly, we've got so many um similar threads, and obviously, I'm gonna be asking you so many questions about mediumship, I'm sure, as this goes on. But I've introduced you. You haven't heard the introduction because obviously I don't do these live because of such tongue twisters. So talk about you to begin with.

SPEAKER_02 4:09

About me.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Well, you can go back as far in time as you like before your birth, your reincarnation, go back to the beginning of time of the universe, start wherever you like.

SPEAKER_02 4:19

Well, when I used to be a witch.

SPEAKER_00 4:22

Did you?

– Are You More Powerful Than You Think?

SPEAKER_02 4:22

In in a previous life, yeah. Yeah, I have full memory of it. It's amazing. However, in this lifetime, I began to understand that there was a bit more to me than the human part, probably about 20 years ago when I had chronic fatigue, and it was just like this whole debilitating part of my life that actually was my awakening. So I'm very grateful for it now, although at the time it really wasn't very pleasant. And so I started to come out the other side, and my sister died when she was younger when she was eight. And after I started to come out the other side of the chronic fatigue, she started to appear to me in dreams. And it wasn't just a regular dream. We were having conversations about things that had happened since she died. We were having conversations about things that are going to come up. So I happened to mention this to a medium, and he said, Well, you know, they're not just dreams. And I said, Yeah, I know. And then I said, I'd love to do what you do. And he said, You would. And I was like, Holy crap, where did that just come from? So he actually started to teach me to meditate, and within a couple of sessions, these sort of spirit guides were appearing, and I was telling him about them, and I then I started to research them, and then they were like real archetypal characters of you know, people that had gone before us, and and and basically I just was so hungry for knowledge, and this passion was rising through me, like you can't imagine. And we probably can actually.

SPEAKER_00 6:04

I can.

SPEAKER_02 6:06

And and so it was like, okay, what do I do next? And all this guidance started flooding in. And honestly, Jason, I've been around the world, I've been to so many different places on like spiritual adventures and looking at different teachers, and oh, so many places and things that have crossed my path, which to be honest, there have been times when, as you probably know, you could walk in the opposite direction, and it's like, I can't do this anymore, it's too much, it's overwhelming. Oh God, here comes another healing crisis and all these things. But when I look back on it now, I wouldn't change it for anything. You know, some people say to me, I'd love to be like you, and I think, no, you probably wouldn't. And then when you list all the things that you've had to do and achieve and overcome, and you know, people walk out of your life because they don't align with what you're doing, and all these things, and it was like it has been an amazing ride, but it's been rough at times.

SPEAKER_00 7:21

I've got so many questions already, and so what uh obviously it sounded like you were, you know, what an awful set of things to happen to go for a rough time and then you know have loss like that.

SPEAKER_01 7:34

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 7:35

Um what's been some of the real challenges that's you know made you consider walking away from mediumship at the time? Because I think there's probably gonna be a lot of people on this listening to this that may relate to that in one way or another.

SPEAKER_02 7:49

Yeah, I mean, I've had some pretty tough times with people that have tutored me and mentored me in the past. And but actually, in a way, I'm gonna flip that because it's actually assisted me to become the tutor that I would have wanted rather than the ones that I didn't want. So it helped me to become a better tutor. What else have I experienced? Very challenging people, demanding people, and and then the going through the healing crisis. So, you know, everybody that goes through a spiritual awakening, awareness, development, all of those things, there's always that moment when you know you're going through what we call the shift, and and that's like another layer of you coming off, or the old layer of you, so that the new version of you can emerge. And sometimes the shifts are just sort of in a blink of an eye, and sometimes they feel like they're going on forever. But so the challenges can be the shifts, but you know, I've never ever been challenged by spirit ever. And and that's the saving grace because you know, I know at the end of the day, regardless of who I'm working with on a on the the earth plane, I work for spirit and consciousness on on their level. So what are the challenges of there being?

SPEAKER_00 9:22

How would you describe a shift? How would I know if I'm in one?

SPEAKER_02 9:28

Well, the first thing is you might want to walk away.

SPEAKER_00 9:33

Right, yes. Okay, tick box one. I'm potentially in a shift.

SPEAKER_02 9:38

Exactly. The second one is you might get physical, mental, or emotional challenges.

SPEAKER_00 9:44

So you get a lot of those, Nicola, on a daily basis at times.

– Thinking vs Knowing

SPEAKER_02 9:49

Yeah, eternal shift. Yes. You might start, your ego might start to kick off, and you might start to doubt yourself, and and you say your ego won't want you to evolve. So when you're going through a shift, it means you're evolving. So your ego might just jump in and start creating more doubt, worry, and anxiety, you know. So that's another sign of a shift. But on the positive side of a shift, you're you might feel lighter, you might your intuition, your psychic abilities, your mediumistic abilities might start to feel like they're sharpening. You might feel hungry for knowledge and you start searching. And you know how these days we talk about going down rabbit holes.

SPEAKER_00 10:34

Oh my god, I go down loads of those Linda. That's happen Nikola. Why am I calling you Linda now? I think you just said that word. Nicola, what am I on about? I'm getting so absorbed in the conversation. I yes, I feel that at the moment. I feel like I have a thirst for knowledge.

SPEAKER_02 10:49

I um I had one of my students and she rang me one Saturday morning, and she was she said, I can't get out of bed. She said, I've just about had enough. She said, I'm gonna throw all my spiritual books away and all my crystals. I said, Oh, are you really? So she said yes. I said, Get your butt out of the bed and go and buy another crystal and go and buy another book.

SPEAKER_00 11:08

Ah, do you know what? I honestly I do think I'm in a bit of a shift at the moment, but I think I've been in a shift that's it feels like it's a very long shift.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

How old are you?

SPEAKER_00 11:20

Yeah, I am 36.

SPEAKER_02 11:24

Oh well, 36 years of shifting, that's a lot.

SPEAKER_00 11:29

Yeah, I would say that I I well, I feel that my current shift is probably maybe 18-month shift.

SPEAKER_02 11:37

That's a long one, but then you see if it goes on that long, Jason, you've got to question what you're resisting.

SPEAKER_00 11:45

Yeah, that is also very true. So these are the rabbit holes we can start going, Dah.

SPEAKER_02 11:50

Exactly. Because you know what they say, what you resist persists.

SPEAKER_00 11:55

Yeah, it's funny when you say what am I resisting? I don't really know what I'm resisting. I know there must be something.

SPEAKER_02 12:02

Yeah, likely, because that's a long shift, 18 months.

SPEAKER_00 12:06

Oh, maybe I'm exaggerating. No, maybe it is a long one. I have I do feel that I've in the last no, maybe I'm being unfair on myself. We could go down this rabbit, so many rabbit holes of reflection. Yeah. So how would you say on the subject of shifts? How have you kind of overcome yours over the years? How what's made you keep going? How have you navigated these yourself?

SPEAKER_02 12:33

Well, I used to resist them, so I know exactly what that means. Okay. And and I used to feel like I was in the depths of despair, you know, the drama of it all. Now I surrender to them. And so if I feel a shift coming on, it's like I start to feel irritable or a heaviness, or I might even start to get headaches. So what I would do is drink a lot more water. I would sit with my spirit team and say, okay, point out to me what direction I'm going in. Tell me what I can do to enable this shift to be moving with grace and ease. And honestly, I just listen to my body, I listen to guidance, and I just follow it. And if it means that I've got a day of appointments, people booked up for readings, but it means I've got to stay in bed all day, I now do that because I listen to the signs and the signals. I mean, it doesn't happen very often, but that's what I would do. I I listen and I follow the guidance because for me, if if spirit can guide me through it and I come out the other side quicker than the average, then I'm happy to follow the guidance.

SPEAKER_00 13:45

I think that's a very good policy. I'm listening to myself much more these days. I don't if I don't feel something, I do not do it. Which may come across as stubborn at times and perhaps unwilling.

SPEAKER_02 13:59

Or lazy.

SPEAKER_00 14:01

I don't do you know what there's one thing I don't think anyone can accuse me of is laziness, actually. That's probably yes, I think that's one thing. So you uh do a lot of different things in your time. Yeah. You're a medium, you're a coach, and you obviously set up an academy.

SPEAKER_01 14:21

I did.

– Why We Doubt Ourselves

SPEAKER_00 14:23

I want to come on to the academy because I think it's an interesting conversation in itself, especially where young people are involved. Because as I said to you before we started recording this, we've talked about young people and some of the comments, and we will actually re unveil in a minute what your academy is, but I will stop talking. But the you know, we've talked a lot on this show about young people. We've had people touch on it, the fact there should be more intuitive studies done at school. You know, I I you know RE is a whole nother subject, you know. How is that taught? But tell us about where you know how when you started the Academy, what made you do it, and what it's all about.

SPEAKER_02 15:09

I will. So it's called ICU Academy, the letters IC and U, which stands for I inspiring children universally. But it's a nice spin on on words because we know that ICU is a an intensive care unit. So I kind of see it as an intensive care unit for children to develop, which is really exciting. So yeah, thank you. So I I began the academy several years ago. Please don't ask me how long, because I have a terrible memory for dates.

SPEAKER_00 15:39

Don't worry, I do. I'm bloody awful when it comes to remembering how long ago things were. If I had put together a CV for myself, now it would be so inaccurate.

SPEAKER_02 15:47

Yeah, mine would be too. So I started this academy, and basically, in a very long story short, I was invited to go to Canada by some people in Mexico to learn how to work with a method, which I did, and I brought it back to the UK, and and it was working. And then I started to receive guidance from my team saying we want you to train teachers. And I was like, Yeah, great, I can do that, no problem. So I I approached the people in Mexico and I told them my guidance, and the the doors shut, literally. So I went back to them and and I said, Well, you know, what do I have to do to reach this level to be able to train teachers? Well, they gave me so many tasks, it was it was practically impossible. So I tuned into the energy of these. Why was that? I think it was that they were very protective and I mean to be honest, when I did this in Canada, it was the first time in years, well, first time ever that it'd been taught outside of Mexico. So they were very protective and and possessive of it, really. Anyway, so I just literally walked away. I carried on working with the children because that's what I'd paid to learn to do. I was certificated to do it, so I thought I'd just carry on with the children. And then I've got this voice in my head saying, But we want you to train teachers, and I'm like, go away, leave me alone. You know, I don't have the blessing of the people in Mexico, so just go. So there was this period of silence, and then this voice starts again, and well, we really would like you to train teachers. And I said, I've told you I will not do it. And then this voice said to me, But you haven't asked us how.

SPEAKER_00 17:43

Where was this? Was this uh you know, just a a a voice when you was meditating?

SPEAKER_02 17:48

Yeah, yeah, but and so I I don't I I have this open dialogue all the time now, so it wasn't just meditation, yeah. So I can switch to the the voices and listen to them at you know at any moment. So I said, okay, how do I do it? And and my my guide said get a pen and paper, and I and I they downloaded this method. So I wrote everything down, I put it into a format, I started working with the children on it, they loved it because the the downloaded method was snappier, it was more modern, it was fast, it was you know less technical, left, left-brained, it was so much more right-brained. And and so because it was uh another method, I put a teacher training program together, birthed the academy, and it all rolled out, and it's the rest is history.

SPEAKER_00 19:10

It's fascinating, isn't it? Yeah, I want to just be able to turn a switch and speak to the spirit people.

SPEAKER_02 19:17

Well, you know what? It's just trust, belief, and practice. That's all it is. Um I say all because it does take a lot of dedication, you know, and in a 3D world, Jason, there's four components to moving beyond a 3D world, and that is trust, belief, acceptance, and confidence.

SPEAKER_00 19:43

I write that down. I like those. What's four positive words?

SPEAKER_02 19:47

Trust, belief, yes, acceptance and confidence.

SPEAKER_00 19:53

Oh, I like that.

SPEAKER_02 19:55

Because you cannot actually have one without the other three.

– Letting Go of Control

SPEAKER_00 19:59

Yeah, that's very true.

SPEAKER_02 20:01

Trust you have to believe, to believe, you have to accept, and when you accept your confidence.

SPEAKER_00 20:07

Yeah, that's very true as well. Yeah, I like do you know what? I'm a big fan of trying to keep things in this medium world simple because oh my goodness, Nicola, do you know how long it took me to actually understand what switching in the power sitting in the power was?

SPEAKER_01 20:21

Yeah, I know.

SPEAKER_00 20:22

I've been trying to find me light switch for the first six months of the year.

SPEAKER_02 20:26

Well, Anna, my guide, she says to me, every human being has graduated from the uh the University of Life with a PhD in complexity. She said, But the problem is you're supposed to have PhDs in simplicity.

SPEAKER_00 20:42

Yeah, that's very true. Oh, I love things like that. I love little sayings like that. Yeah. So what continues to drive you with the ICU? Is it is it the children? Is that the it is?

SPEAKER_02 20:56

I mean, the motto for ICU Academy is the children are our future. And of course, that goes without saying. But what became apparent to me, and and also through a lot of guidance, is that we need to prepare the children in in ways that the educational systems can't do or won't do. And so the the work we do with them opens them up to a much higher level of their outer consciousness that stays with them. Because time and time again I hear people saying, Oh, well, I saw spirit when I was a child, and and I could hear voices, and and then they go through this puberty time, the teenage years, and it goes, it just disappears. But I now know that that's because around about puberty, the ego comes online and creates the worry, the doubt, the anxiety, the fears, and therefore it blocks that channel of what people might call supernatural, but what we call psychic abilities. And then sometime later in life, they might sort of suddenly have this sort of moment of, well, I used to be able to see spirit, why can't I do it now? So the ICU Academy is not, I mean, yes, it prepares them for their future, but what it does is it takes away the inhibitions that kids might have or The conditioned beliefs that they have so that they understand that anything is possible.

SPEAKER_00 22:29

I think that's such a good thing to teach a child. Yeah. I wish I'd been taught that. I I sort of had to I sort of kind of learnt that my well, I do you know what? I I think because my circumstances were a bit funny growing up, I very much had to almost convince myself that you know anything was possible. Because my school was so bad, honestly, it was it was just an awful school, it was an all-boys school. And my do you know where my secondary school was? In the town that the word chav derived from. Ah there'll probably be some people listing this in Australia or America, but they won't realise what that word means.

SPEAKER_02 23:14

I think it's quite I think it's quite a British word, but it's very British, but but but we understand.

SPEAKER_00 23:23

Yeah, just a little bit. Fascinating. There's so many when I was going through your website, I'm sort of looking into you know some of the stuff that you, you know, do it I found honestly, it's so much of it just absolutely fascinating on some of the different modalities that you kind of practice. One thing that I've been reading into recently is about the Vegas nerve.

SPEAKER_02 23:48

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:49

And I've got a book at the moment that I must admit it's on my books, it's on my bookside table, and I have read the first few pages of it, and it seems fascinating. The thing is, my eyes are getting bad. I need to get a set of new glasses because it's in quite tiny fonts, and I'm struggling to read it. But what can you tell us about the Vegas nerve?

SPEAKER_02 24:11

Or let me just let me just say something to you. There's a very old-fashioned saying, healer, heal thyself.

SPEAKER_00 24:18

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 24:19

Sort your eyes out.

SPEAKER_00 24:21

Yes, that's I've got them on now. It's all right.

– The Shift Into Trust

SPEAKER_02 24:27

Vagus nerve. Well, again, this I stumbled across this down a big, big, deep rabbit hole. About I didn't even know what the vagus nerve was. I didn't even know we had one in our bodies, and a lot of people don't. But the vagus nerve is a nerve that runs from the gut to the low the brainstem, the lower part of the brain, and it's it's part of the autonomic nervous system. So the autonomic is is based on the sympathetic and the parasympathetic. The parasympathetic is what we call rest and digest, and the sympathetic is fight or flight, so survival mode. And I discovered that you know the majority of people are absolutely stuck in fight or flight. You know, we we go through periods of life. I mean, the pandemic is just one huge example of fear. Okay. And so the vagus nerve is uh either toned or undertoned. So if it's toned, you're in in parasympathetic, and if it's undertoned, you're in sympathetic. But as I was going through all the research, because I was guided to put a healing modality together purely based on the vagus nerve, the research, Jason, was fascinating because that nerve is responsible for so many aspects of your physical, mental, and emotional well-being that it was like, well, if we work with one nerve in the body, what can it heal? What can we facilitate in that person that would give them an opportunity to heal in potentially three to five sessions?

SPEAKER_00 26:11

It's absolutely fascinating, isn't it? I I've been watching this program, which is really, really, really good. And now I've just completely put myself on the spot because I need to remember the name of it. It's called, I'll tell you, because it's so fascinating. And I've watched them a couple of episodes. Oh, it's called Rewired by Dr. Joe Dispenser.

SPEAKER_02 26:31

Oh, yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 26:32

Have you seen have you watched it?

SPEAKER_02 26:33

No, I've heard of it. I haven't seen it yet.

SPEAKER_00 26:35

It's fascinating. It talks about and it touches on that actually, what you said. It talks about how you can change as a person, how you can change, but how change is uncomfortable because the chemical compounds in our brain, you have to almost step out of your reality to force change. And it it talked about it on a very in a way that was binding the science with the spirituality, and it made so much sense. He also made a really interesting point in it, and he said, if you can't explain something to someone, you don't know it that well.

SPEAKER_01 27:14

Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_00 27:16

Because I tried to explain sacred geometry a few times before to my mum. So we are basically on a matrix and a grid. And he said, I just honestly, Jason, I it sounds fascinating, but I don't know what you're on about.

SPEAKER_02 27:32

No. Well, interestingly, with the ICU Academy that work with the children, when we blindfold them and they can read a book.

SPEAKER_00 27:42

Ah, I saw, do you know what? I saw that on your video on the website. Yeah. Um, and it actually made me start looking into blindfolds. I've been saying to my mum for ages that I want to start her to start giving me picture of man or woman, okay, like from a catalogue or something, and I need to try and you know, using psychometry or yeah, whatever to the kids actually don't use psychometry, they see through the eyes of their spirit. Okay, so tell us more about this method then.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

Okay, then I'll go back to the Vegas nerve.

SPEAKER_00 28:16

Yeah, do yeah.

SPEAKER_02 28:17

So when when they start to see, they see you put a kid in a blindfold to start off with.

SPEAKER_00 28:23

Yes, okay, a child, right? Okay.

SPEAKER_02 28:25

Right. We put the child in the blindfold. The children are between the ages of six and twelve. We put them in a blindfold and we take them through what we call an activation process. It's a bit like an a physical meditation type thing, okay. Then we sit them down and give them a book and ask them or tell them to tell us the colours they see on the page. We never ask them a question, we never say no, and we praise them for a whole hour, even if they're not, you know, spot on. Okay. So what we know is when they start to see the eyes get really itchy, and their eyes can start watering. And this is a really good sign because what I've been informed by the eye doctor is that because the child is reading, like reading a book with a blindfold on, the brain is somewhat confused because the eyes aren't working, the physical eyes. So the brain sends a little tiny electrical charge to stimulate the eyes, and that's why the eyes start watering and itching. But what's actually happening is the child has has formed complete alignment with their spirit, the spirit is seeing for them, and the only way I can describe it is like it's telepathically working with the child's mind so that the child can tell you what they're seeing on the page. And and what I've been told in guidance is this is re-rooting neuropathways in the child's brain so that the left and the right hemispheres of the brain can become one, and in going forward, the child can be logically creative and creative creatively logical in the same breath.

SPEAKER_00 30:09

Oh my goodness me. That is just absolutely fascinating. I think that's about the fourth time I've said that. Have you tried this on adults? Can you get adults to do it too? Because I do it, for instance, if I was in that much of an alignment with my soul, would I would I be able to achieve or could you achieve this through the eyes of yours?

SPEAKER_02 30:33

I when I did it first, I wasn't seeing with my spirit eyes, I was working with my clercognizance.

SPEAKER_00 30:41

So I think it's even more complicated. You were knowing, yes, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 30:47

I knew what was on the page, but I couldn't see it. Okay.

SPEAKER_00 30:50

Oh no. Right, I'll have to see which way works for me. So you were knowing what was on the page.

– What It Feels Like to Be Connected

SPEAKER_02 30:56

Yes, but you see, I am when I train to be a teacher of awake and the illuminated heart, it's a lot of where you're in a mindfold, okay? Now, when the children put the blindfold on for the first time, when there's no light going through the physical eyes, the pineal gland temporarily shuts down, and the pineal gland is the third eye. So if the third eye is closed down temporarily, they cannot see clairvoyantly.

SPEAKER_00 31:30

Yeah, that does make sense.

SPEAKER_02 31:32

So a lot of people think the children are seeing clairvoyantly with their third eye, but they're not, they're seeing with what we call the outer consciousness, which is their spirit. So with an adult, the reason, or let me just say this first the reason we work with children between six and twelve is because it's optimum age before the ego becomes too active. With adults, you've been aligned and working or controlled by the ego for a lot longer. So what we find is the left brain is very, very active in in adults, and therefore it's hard to bypass the left brain and completely work in the right brain.

SPEAKER_00 32:15

That does make total sense, doesn't it? I mean, it makes sense why you're doing it on six to twelve year olds exactly. It's as soon as you get into that secondary school environment. That's right. That that's it.

SPEAKER_02 32:26

That's it, it's out the window.

SPEAKER_00 32:29

Yeah, and it do you know what? It must be even harder for children now because you know, with mobile phones and social media and all these apps. Yeah, you know, I do I do sometimes have these moments of sitting watching the world go by, and I look at children now and I think I was actually really glad that I was brought up in an age where I'm not saying that I the internet wasn't a thing when I was young, but it it was like dial up. Not very good, you know, you wouldn't want to sit on it for too long because your mum would be shouting at you, telling you to get off the phone.

SPEAKER_02 33:04

Exactly. But the other thing about this program with the kids is if it was possible to work with adults with it, I'd probably still focus on the kids because there are many, many spiritual practices out there for adults, but there just aren't any for kids. So for me, I mean I haven't had green light guns.

SPEAKER_00 33:26

What do children say to you when they when they realise they can do this? Are they they must be absolutely no?

unknown 33:34

Nope.

SPEAKER_00 33:35

They just accept it.

SPEAKER_02 33:36

It's like they've always been able to do it.

SPEAKER_00 33:40

And how so how long has the academy been running?

SPEAKER_02 33:44

Several years, like I said, I don't remember date.

SPEAKER_00 33:47

So so what uh because obviously you must have uh now some of these children that you were doing it on the beginning, and now you know, I imagine kind of at university level.

SPEAKER_02 33:58

That's right, yeah.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

And what have have you sort of kept in touch with any of them to see how you know having such an unlocking of one's intuitive abilities has helped them in their life?

SPEAKER_02 34:09

I am aware of some of them, and they are excelling in certain things like music, sport, computer science. But you know what? Everything I teach, Jason, everything, I have absolutely zero attachment to outcome.

SPEAKER_00 34:31

That's a very interesting way to be.

SPEAKER_02 34:33

Yeah, because it's a bit, it's a bit like, you know, I am let's just say when my son was younger, I took him to swimming lessons. Okay. The teacher taught him how to swim, he got some swimming badges, he finished his swimming lessons, and then he went on to something else. And it's like, did the swimming teacher keep in touch with us to see how he's doing six years down the line? Absolutely not. So I know this this phenomena is is very different and it's new and it's exciting and it's you know innovative and pioneering, all of those words. But in all of my teaching, if I was to teach you or anybody, I would take you through the journey to facilitate your development, but I wouldn't have an expectation of how I see you should be or what I think you should be doing with it. And it's exactly the same with the kids, and the ones I do know about, we'll never know whether they would be good at those things with or without the ICU work.

SPEAKER_00 35:41

No, that's also very true, isn't it?

SPEAKER_02 35:44

Yes.

SPEAKER_00 35:45

I think there's one thing we can all agree on is this is not a bad thing. This is a very good thing for children. Getting to understand their intuition at such a young age, you know, I think it sets people up. Well, it does set children up for life. I I mean I'm going to say say it that it does. There is no doubt about that.

SPEAKER_02 36:04

And it actually has the potential to put them in the top 20% of achievers in the world.

SPEAKER_00 36:10

And you could say and you can understand why. I think it's such good work that you do, and I think it's fascinating as well.

SPEAKER_02 36:17

Um the scene the scene with the blindfold is actually if we look at it being the cherry on top of the cake, because not all kids see with a blindfold, but the transformation that they go through in education, in social skills, in confidence. I mean, so many parents report that their children become more loving.

SPEAKER_00 36:40

You never sort of what do the because I get I'm guessing the parents that are putting the children in this kind of course must be fairly open-minded themselves to allow their child to enter such an environment.

– Bringing Awareness Into Everyday Life

SPEAKER_02 36:55

Yeah, but it doesn't mean that the the parent is on some sort of spiritual journey, it can just be regular families that hear about it. And you know when we say it's like a calling when you know you you can't unknow it. I had a mother ring me and she said, I've got a six-year-old, and he'd really he found you on the internet and he'd really like to do your program. Can you tell me all about it? And I did. And she said, Would would you mind if I if my son spoke to you? And I said, Oh, that's fine. I had a six-year-old interview me on the phone to see if I was the right person for him.

SPEAKER_00 37:35

I love that. I think that's so wonderful. That does sound like the sort of thing I'd do at six. I was very I wasn't backwards in coming forwards. No, not so. Oh, that's that's beautiful. It's a really nice story. So back to the vagus nerve. That's I don't want to touch on this too much, but it seems of such importance and significance now that I almost feel that I can't not go back to it.

SPEAKER_02 38:00

Okay. Well, where I left off, I what I was gonna say to you, and the reason I went back to the ICU work, is because the vagus nerve is has the potential to heal so many things, like I said, physical, mental, emotional. Yes, but it's also connected spiritually. So we know we have our seven energy centers called chakras, but they are in perfect alignment with the vagus nerve, and the vagus nerve is is in alignment with what we call the pranic tube that runs through the body where the energy of prana chi, whatever it's called, flows up and down simultaneously. But I going down that other rabbit hole of okay, if this has got a spiritual connection, show me, show me what it is, take me to it. And either side of your your brain, just above your ears, there's two glands called the amygdala.

SPEAKER_01 38:59

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 39:00

And the amygdala is connected to the pine, well, not in not directly connected, but is energetically connected to the pineal gland, which is the third eye, which is connected to the ego, which is in the brain stem, which is connected to the third eye opening on the forehead. So so what I realized is when we're treating the vagus nerve with tuning forks and crystals and sound and energy, we're also toning people spiritually as well.

SPEAKER_00 39:31

With what with people?

SPEAKER_02 39:33

Toning them spiritually. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 39:38

How how does one uh stimulate the vagus nerve?

SPEAKER_02 39:43

We use certain frequencies of of tuning forks. We use I I found two essential oils that ch that tone the vagus nerve. I found several crystals that work with it, and it's just it's a method that I put together where somebody just literally lays in. Well, you can lay on a couch, but those zero gravity chairs are perfect.

SPEAKER_00 40:09

So I love a zero gravity chair.

SPEAKER_02 40:11

Me too. And they lay back and you sit at their head and you just work with their their hearing and the top of their head, and literally you the energies just moves down the vagus nerve to bring it into balance and to tone it. And I have to say, and and I and I'm not just being biased because I created the modality, but I have to say it's my favorite form of heat facilitating healing because you get some of it while you're doing it because you're obviously in the vicinity of the tuning falls, but just watching somebody well, when you start, it's like they've been anahotized, they just go out like a light, and watching somebody go through that transformation in like probably about 30 to 40 minutes, and they come out the other side. And I'm seeing people look younger, we've had things like back pain instantly disappear, palpitations. We've had oh, so many things, like overactive bladders suddenly like go back into a normal pace. I mean, so many things.

SPEAKER_00 41:25

I've read a lot, uh I it's funny because I've become very aware of it recently. It's it's something that's entered my you like these things do, don't they? Something gets suddenly uh my psyche, it's entering my aura currently. So I'm very interested in the Vegas nerve myself. Yeah. Do you know what? We've we've crammed a lot into this conversation, haven't we?

SPEAKER_02 41:50

Oh no, it's fabulous, isn't it?

SPEAKER_00 41:52

And there's do you know what? I'm gonna let you close the show today by giving us the final thought or a point or a pearl of wisdom or something to leave the show on. It can be anything you like.

SPEAKER_02 42:06

Okay, well, how about I leave you with this? Because this came about, I was teaching last Sunday, and I I said this sentence that I said to the group, hang on a minute, I've got to write that down. And the sentence was no matter how you get from A to B, you got to B.

SPEAKER_00 42:33

That is very reflect, it's very philosophical, isn't it? I had to stop and think about do you know what? Sometimes the most powerful words spoke are the fewest, aren't they? It's it's you know, sometimes it doesn't take a lot.

SPEAKER_02 42:49

Because spirits say to me, you know, you haven't earned the right to be called human beings, so we're gonna call you human doings.

SPEAKER_00 43:02

Very true, very true. Well, Nicola, it's been a delight. If you want to obviously find out about Nika and her various different projects, I'll put all of the websites in the show notes where you can just click and find out more. But Nicola, thank you for coming on. It's been a delight.

SPEAKER_02 43:22

You're absolutely welcome. I loved it. Thank you.

– Final Reflections

SPEAKER_00 43:28

Well, I hear you wondering, Jason, how is your mediumship going? Um, it's going really well. I honestly couldn't trust the spirit world anymore. Um, I tell you that because every time I ever go to do a reading, they're always there. And it does even blow my mind that very fact that they're always there without fail. It's not the spirit world. Uh, I don't trust the touch of my mediumship, it's myself getting out of the way. But in all seriousness, um, I'm actually doing my first platform reading online um this Sunday. Um, Eileen Davis um is doing an um evening mediumship, and I'm doing platform mediumship. So, of course, I've got butterflies. Of course, of course, but I am just trusting in uh myself and the spirit world to know that they will be there, and I want to be the best. Vessel that I possibly can for them. But I've learned a lot in like the last year. It even blows my mind what I've learned into how far I've come with my mediumship. And I'm just it's just ever more evolving. You know, I'm learning to delve more into the evidence, into the emotion, to bring through the messages that the spirit world wants me to bring through. And it's such an honour, you know, to do mediumship. And you know, I know it's my calling in life, I know it's what I'm here to do. I know my soul's plan is I put on this world to help people and to be that beacon of light, and I want to step into that power more than ever before. So I'll sync. So until next time, goodbye.
