Meeting Michelle Murphy, Mystic and Medium
00:00:25
Speaker
Welcome back to The Soul School. I am here today with Michelle Murphy, a mystic, medium and a guide. She is somebody that I personally got the opportunity to meet and get to know from the craziest of circumstances, which Michelle, I want to talk about later. But first of all, thank you so much for coming on the show today.
00:00:47
Speaker
Thank you. I'm excited. Yay. So you guys, I'm really excited to have Michelle here because she is just a super talented, exceptional mystic and medium. And she's really profoundly impacted my life. And again, dying to share the story, but we're going to wait because I just want to first start with asking you, Michelle, if you could take us back a little bit.
00:01:08
Speaker
I actually don't totally know, so I'm excited to hear it live with everybody.
Early Realizations of Mystical Abilities
00:01:13
Speaker
But your story into mysticism, into recognizing you have this wild gift to speak to the other side, spirit guides, mediumship, when did that start for you? And then how did it develop?
00:01:30
Speaker
I think it was always there. I think it was always a part of who I am. And the way everybody understands that their mind space is truly their own mind space. And we don't know it's different from somebody else's until we get a little bit older. So I think the question I prefer is when did I realize other people weren't mediums? That's funny. It's true, right?
00:02:00
Speaker
So very, very early on, I have a lot of really interesting early memories as a child, really profound dreams of going into kind of what I would describe a
00:02:12
Speaker
a sentient experience without a body. So almost going into a void space, but one that felt very, very open and peaceful. And I was only about six or seven years of age when that started happening.
Discovering Differentness through Literature
00:02:27
Speaker
So it wasn't scary or anything. It's just I thought everybody kind of
00:02:32
Speaker
felt dizzy before going to sleep and then popped into a different kind of dimensional space and to this day I don't really understand what that was but I do believe part of my work is revisiting that vibration with my clients even though they don't feel any vibrational difference while they're sitting with me that's kind of where I'm going when I'm doing my work.
00:02:57
Speaker
Wow, what a cool answer. I'm taking that all in. So my first question is back to your response, then. When did you recognize that other people didn't pop into a void when they were asleep? Because that's definitely not what I was doing. I know, right? Yeah. Probably realistically around high school.
00:03:25
Speaker
I had a few other distractions. I was, I was really, really, really a scrawny kid with a learning disability. So, you know, having a few invisible friends, it just looked like, uh, it looked like I just had an active imagination. And, um, you know, we just took it as me being me a little unusual.
00:03:47
Speaker
But in high school, in high school, when you actually do start having more moments of contemplation and philosophy with your friends, right? You know, the first time you read Nietzsche or Dostoyevsky or Shakespeare or TS Eliot.
00:04:03
Speaker
You know, when you dip into the metaphysics, you start feeling a certain abstract community. And so it was through literature and poetry that I really started realizing that maybe I was a little bit different.
00:04:21
Speaker
Wait, so what is it about literature and poetry? Because I'm tracking you again. I mean, not everybody, let's just start there. Not everybody starts reading that kind of stuff in high school, but I was kind of that kind of kid in high school as well. I wasn't very interested in most topics, but I was obsessed with Plato. And I do think philosophical, mystical people seem to glob onto these things young, because it speaks to them, right?
00:04:46
Speaker
But how did that translate into you having that awareness that these imaginary friends you're saying so comically, but in all seriousness, that if that's your normal, when did you realize that it's not necessarily just something people have? And then when did you start to develop it into something that you thought to use to help other people heal?
Noticing Intuitive Insights in Social Interactions
00:05:15
Speaker
I always assumed, that's an excellent question. I always assumed in my childhood that I was just, um, shy because I would stay away from groups of people and prefer quiet corners alone. Uh, but I'm not that much of an introvert. Um, and it was through the contrast of other children, you know, we're talking grade three, four, five, um, through the contrast of their social
00:05:44
Speaker
behaviors and my own somewhat introverted seeming behaviors that I realized I was a little bit different. But again, we don't really realize what's going on because I only have my own mind and I can't really compare it to other people's minds. It was probably realistically in high school also when people started commenting that I had a very interesting way of figuring out what was wrong with them.
00:06:14
Speaker
without really knowing or a lot of people would say, you know, in conversation, it's funny, you should say that because, and it would be this random thing. And, you know, I'd love for listeners to be really, really aware of that, because often, we are, I guess, angelic messengers to each other without knowing it.
00:06:37
Speaker
And serendipity is a wonderful way of tracking that. A lot of people who are deeply empathetic will find that people say to them, oh, it's funny you should say that because, and it's a very random seeming thing, but it's not random at all. It's actually guided. I think everybody has mysticism within them. It's not everybody is meant to work in this particular capacity.
00:07:02
Speaker
Yes, yes, yes. So to answer your question, it had more to do with my connection to other people in figuring out how they felt and what was going on in their emotional world and being able to, what I thought at the time was just actively listen and provide some sort of perspective or solution for them.
00:07:28
Speaker
Hmm. Beautiful. It's such I mean, first of all, I hope everybody can hear already why I'm so super obsessed with you and think that you're such a brilliant talent in the world. These answers are so profound already. So when did you then interrupt you for a moment? Yes. When you said you fell in love with Plato, I was like, I prefer Lego. So I'm not that brilliant. Please.
00:07:54
Speaker
It was always a dad joke brewing in the back of my head. He liked the puns. So when did you start to help people then with a more conscious awareness? Okay, I have this amistic ability. You help people who have lost loved ones, particularly their children. I mean, it's very, very serious what you're doing. When did you begin doing that?
Beginning Professional Journey as a Medium
00:08:19
Speaker
How many years? What did that process start as?
00:08:23
Speaker
officially, probably 20 years ago, my hairdresser called it out on me and and invited me over to her place for breakfast where she actually had three people waiting to be read. So she she explained to me that what what I am is a mystic and I have a gift and I need to start helping people. So how old were you? Well, I'm 50.
00:08:53
Speaker
23, 24. No, no, no, sorry. 33, 34. Yeah. Yeah, about 33 was when I
00:09:02
Speaker
when I was exposed to my own gift. Amazing. It's like incredible that that can take that time, right? We get so used to ourselves and to have somebody call it out, what a beautiful opportunity for you to wake up to what was right in front of you, right? But not necessarily clear as something you could do to help other people. And were you nervous to go into that first experience?
00:09:29
Speaker
I had no idea I was even going into that first experience. She just kind of like the goddess Kelly. She pushed me over the edge and said, go swim. So I did.
00:09:45
Speaker
is your practice. Like, could you share with the audience, you know, if they were to sign up with you, what that looks like, who you're talking to. I know personally a little bit about it. I'll share my own story in a few, but you're speaking with different realms and particularly playing as a medium between yourself and loved ones.
Connecting Clients with the Spiritual World
00:10:06
Speaker
Yeah. So over time, I came to realize that my work is predominantly
00:10:13
Speaker
In mediumship, it's connecting to people who crossed over. Provided there's a genuine heartfelt connection between the client and the person who has crossed over, it's a lovely
00:10:28
Speaker
vibrational space again that I tend to occupy. I don't see or hear anything, but I get the emotional component of the individual that has crossed over. So I might not necessarily understand what they passed up or their name, but I'll get really lovely, very specific and intimate details that only the person I'm speaking with would know. The number of times people say,
00:10:55
Speaker
Nobody knows that. How did you know that? And I love those moments. I don't know how to describe it, but there's a distinction between the guided work and the mediumship. In mediumship, it's really proof of love. I refer to those messages as proof of love, that their bodies may be gone, but their love still resides and remains.
00:11:24
Speaker
I don't want to bother those who've crossed over with things of this earth, you know, I want them to rest in peace. And as such, I just allow them to give those messages of love.
00:11:39
Speaker
The other portion of my work is different. I call it spiritual bitch-slapping, where the guides and the angels and the guardians are possibly even a part of the individual's subconscious mind that they might not be in touch with yet. It could also be a kashik realm. I have no idea. But there is something that I'm able to tap into.
00:12:02
Speaker
that is pure and wise and loving and nonjudgmental and always corrective. So going to an excellent yoga class where they'll, you think you can touch the floor until they come and they correct your posture and then the floor is an extra foot away from you. That's the type of work that I get to do. It's very loving. It is not judgmental at all, but it is very, very course correcting and it's hopefully
00:12:30
Speaker
what allows for my clients to be more centered in the here and now and empowered in a place of peace. You work more with guides in that process, right? Yes. Whatever it is that comes forward. I don't really know what it is as long as it is loving and as long as it is
00:12:59
Speaker
Pure is such an abstract word, but that's what I have to say. You know, I'm going to headaches and if I'm standing next to somebody with a
00:13:10
Speaker
of mid-range cologne, it's gonna give me a headache. But if I'm standing next to somebody with a really high-end fragrance, I find I don't have the same kind of headache response. I can't explain the mechanisms of my sense of smell and the connection to my brain, but I know the difference between something that is pedestrian and mediocre and something that is decadent and rich.
00:13:39
Speaker
The same goes with the type of information that comes and I think you as an Akashic reader understands that, that ego has a certain density to it and wisdom has brevity and lightness to it.
00:13:54
Speaker
Oh, that's so beautifully put. I mean, I'm asked constantly to explain, how do I know it's not my ego, Laura? How do I know it's not my ego? How do I know I'm in the Akashic realm? And I'm like, it's like for me trying to explain, how do you know when you're sleeping? How do you know when you're awake? How do you know when you've fallen asleep? How do you know when you're half asleep, partially asleep, midway, in and out of sleep, deep asleep? I'm like, you kind of have to do it. And they all have a bit of a different to your point texture or nuance to it.
00:14:22
Speaker
And it's very hard to put words to, very hard. But the difference between the smell of an orange and the smell of, say, a lime or the smell of a grapefruit, they're all citrus. How do you know the difference? When we can explain the mechanisms of what's right in front of us, maybe then we can explain the mechanisms of the metaphysical. That's right.
00:14:49
Speaker
I don't know. I don't know, but you know, because you've done it and the more you do it, you know, it's a lemon versus a lime. Absolutely. Same thing with the ego to the Akashic. And so for you, I totally get that. And that's really beautifully put. So you're, you're working with these energies and in that you're able to help people align back to something within themselves to heal, to
00:15:17
Speaker
I'm dying to share my story, but I'm going to wait again. Go ahead. I came, I came to that portion of the work reluctantly, to be honest, because I, you know, I've found anytime I've had an ego or an opinion, rather, anytime I've had an opinion, the opinion ends up.
00:15:32
Speaker
turning me into a bit of a jerk. I'm always proven wrong in my opinions. It's very humbling. So I came to the guided work reluctantly because I really wanted to stay in the lane of mediumship alone. But over the years, I realized that when we are in a state of profound chronic grief, we are in transition.
00:15:58
Speaker
And it is through transition and the breaking away of ego that our guides are closest to us. Interesting. Interesting. I tried to keep the guided stuff at bay and to give that work to the therapists and the coaches, which I have absolutely no background in whatsoever.
00:16:20
Speaker
But it came anyway. And so when you say it's a spiritual bitch slap, what does that look like? Like, what is somebody? Oh, I love that. I'd have to give an example. And the funny thing is, I rarely recall actual examples. I had a session this morning. And if you asked me to offer three points from that session,
00:16:42
Speaker
I genuinely could not remember them. I know. I can't remember anything in my readings, maybe 5%, but they're gone. It's like a dream that you come out of. And I see people at dinner parties and they're like, oh my God, it's so great. And I'm like, who are you? Like it's terrible. I can't remember. People crying at the grocery store when they see you and you're like, okay.
00:17:02
Speaker
I don't. I don't. And they're like, that reading you did was so amazing. And I'm like, what? You know, it's really bizarre how much disappears.
Channeling Spiritual Messages vs. Ego
00:17:10
Speaker
Yeah, it's lovely, though, because it's really not hours to hold. But the spiritual bit slapping would be, I guess, karmic course correction. So for instance, if somebody is fixated on a relationship that is already gone and done,
00:17:27
Speaker
The spiritual bitch slapping might be connected to the idea that there is a little bit of ego involved in the connection to that individual. It's very difficult to describe though because sometimes these constant emotional hangovers that we have in relationship
00:17:46
Speaker
is connected to in a Kashuk situation, possibly a past life situation, but also possibly, for instance, people pleasers, people pleasers, I can feel the difference between whether that is their current neediness or whether their want to people please is connected to a childhood trauma, which happens when a person is raised with transactional, conditional love,
00:18:12
Speaker
And so they learn at a very young age that in order to maintain a secure relationship with an individual, they have to offer unconditional love. Now that's a big answer to unpack and I apologize, but I think a lot of people can relate to this, those relationships where we feel we might
00:18:34
Speaker
if we were a little bit better or a little bit more patient or whatever the case may be, that maybe it would work out. And I'd be able to feel whether that is a past life situation, whether it's a trauma related compulsion, or whether the person is actually just a victim of abuse, of emotional abuse. You know, again, the differences between the
00:18:59
Speaker
grapefruit, the lemon, and the lime. You just know the distinction. And that's the spiritual bitch slapping. So it's really not bitch slapping per se. But I like swearing. I mean, who doesn't love a good ironic swear word?
00:19:14
Speaker
I love it. I love it. I wanted to clarify because, I mean, I've worked with you and it's not a bitch lab. It's really loving, loving and wonderful and healing. So, okay, let's just go here. The way we met, and I want to share the story with everybody because it was so profound and it had such an impact, but not just to share that with everybody, but to open people up to the
00:19:40
Speaker
the realities of what you offer and how that works. And I just hoping it also spawns a little conversation that can help illuminate some of these very elusive issues in life. But I was having what I would call a spiritual crisis. I mean, I was at an absolute low. I had been through
00:20:00
Speaker
a difficult month or so with my twin flame, I was just kind of like questioning the entire spiritual path, right? I think we all get to these moments where it's like, is this helping my life or actually hindering? Like is believing in this stuff starting to have a negative outcome for me?
00:20:18
Speaker
And I really was at a sort of low, a faith low.
Laura's Personal Spiritual Crisis
00:20:23
Speaker
And lo and behold, I had a client that day as I was having like an eat, pray, love freak out, to be honest. And I'm somebody who never freaks out. And I come to the call and I'm thinking this poor client, I'm a mess. I'm not going to be able to do a good reading.
00:20:37
Speaker
doing this reading for you. You were that client and I'm just moving through it and you're like, do you know that there's a spirit with you? And I'm like, oh my God, the universe. I just said I'm done. I was going to do you as a client. And I was like, maybe I'll wrap it up and I'll be done with this entire world.
00:20:54
Speaker
And so you were very persistent in letting me know that my grandmother, who's the one spiritual relationship I feel close to, was with me. And that you wanted to bring a message forward because you're just this really loving, generous person and we have a mutual friend in common.
00:21:14
Speaker
But I was not in the mood, to be honest. And I was like, I told you, I'm letting the spiritual stuff go. So I was I was trying to be nice with you. You were a client and I was just trying to move on. Anyways, fast forward, we met up. You brought my grandmother forward who had a message for my twin flame.
00:21:33
Speaker
that my grandmother would like to speak with her and we were currently not speaking. I was like, wait, what? So I'm not speaking to my twin flame. I'm in a spiritual crisis. And my grandmother would like to tell me that she would like to speak to the person on the 3D realm that I'm not talking to. That's really normal. So I reached out to my twin flame and they hooked up. Well, you two connected.
00:22:01
Speaker
And my grandmother did not show up a bunch of other very large energy showed up in her place with very distinctive messages for my twin flame starting with quoting the tattoo that she has on her back that you would obviously not know.
00:22:17
Speaker
And from there, there was this relationship that we started where you were helping with her journey. And then you did this clearing for me where we met and you felt that I had sort of merged my energies with her and you were like, oh my God, there's like no separation in your energetic field. And he started to remove this energy.
00:22:40
Speaker
So I guess what I'm fascinated by, Michelle, is I go into the Akasha, right? Like I go to the space that holds our thoughts, feelings, and action over all of our lifetimes. This experience was so, it's like kissing cousins, right? Similar, but like distinctly different in that you were calling on different guides, but you were really working with my energy.
00:23:09
Speaker
I know you can't describe it, but I'm gonna nonetheless ask you to describe it. What do you think that is when you're able to, I mean, I felt 1000% better the next day. Like it was remarkable. I know we're just trying to put words to abstraction, but how do you describe all that in your words? You lime pie.
00:23:43
Speaker
It's very, I'd like to call it, it's definitely couture work. It's not something that you can do in a large group, I don't think. What I do, if I can break it down and let me know if I'm losing your hair. No. So when a person sits in front of me in a space of wanting to be helped,
00:24:13
Speaker
not by me, but by their guides or by whatever they believe in, I immediately enter a space of divine love. And so when I'm working with a person, I love them. I love them the way their deceased granny loved them. I love them the way
00:24:34
Speaker
The yogis say the divine light in me acknowledges the divine light in you. And when I am in that space and you are in that space, we are one. I feel that. And for the first little while of my work, I was actually quite crestfallen when people would leave because I felt like I had to grieve them because I get to see them in their perfect form.
Understanding Divine vs. Unconditional Love
00:24:54
Speaker
And so I enter your psyche from the space of divine love and
00:25:02
Speaker
if I can have a postscript before I continue. Divine love is not unconditional love. Unconditional love actually does have an element of ego, a timeline, a fear of loss.
00:25:16
Speaker
but divine love is fearless. And if you're ever lucky enough to be in the company of this woman, her name is Amma, and she's known as the hugging Hindu saint. You wait in line for about eight hours for a three second hug, and those three seconds change everything because in those three seconds, you actually feel fearless love. And it's not something you can describe, it's something that you can experience. I think in many ways,
00:25:45
Speaker
We glimpse it in grief because when we've already lost everything in grief, there is nothing more to fear. And so we love our deceased loved ones so much more profoundly than we can humanly imagine. It's a terrible paradox, but it's true.
00:26:03
Speaker
Anyhow, so I enter the space of divine love with my client. I have to pause because you explained this to me a year ago and it blew my mind. You did it in session, but I just want to pause for the listeners. It's really important to hear what you said because you went so quickly. Unconditional love comes with loss, meaning I can unconditionally love my son, right?
00:26:27
Speaker
if you have kids or you have a family member or a friend or sibling, whatever it is that you feel like, God, if this person needed something, I'm there. I love them unconditionally, but you said this and I was like, Oh my God, if they die,
00:26:43
Speaker
I would lose my mind, right? So it comes with this massive fear of loss, right? And like, or if somebody hurts them, you know, the more we love sometimes the more we fear. Yes.
00:27:00
Speaker
you know, parenting, especially loving, whether whether it's, my gosh, the way I love my dog, you know, the number of times all you have to do is get the dog off leash for a minute and pray to heaven that it doesn't get hit by a car or something because that is that fear. It's visceral. It's extreme. Yes. So and so divine love is moving past that fear.
00:27:27
Speaker
It's fearless. That's wild to think about. So I just wanted to pin that because we use the word divine love, and we use the word unconditional versus conditional love. And it's something I've been thinking about a lot over the last five years. And moving my way through, as you know, that conditional to unconditional is a big enough leap. But unconditional to divine is truly remarkable to think about. Well, I mean, songs are made about this all the time, but not the ones on the radio.
00:27:57
Speaker
You know, amazing grace, how sweet the sound. You know, these hymns. And of course I have to identify as an Irish Catholic, raised as an Irish Catholic. I'm also very much aware of white supremacy and toxic masculinity and misogyny and all of those things. So I'm, you know, take that as you may. But my upbringing is informed by
00:28:27
Speaker
Judeo-Christian symbolism. But I'm fairly certain that every religion has some sort of connection to grace and divine love in some way or another. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, I appreciate that. I just wanted to pause. I forgot where we were.
00:28:46
Speaker
Yeah, so we were talking about that you drop into that place of seeing them from the divine. Yes, thank you. And so where the work happens is when I get to see them as their absolute perfect potential. And then I can see where or I can feel where there is density. And it's almost like an emotional pull I feel towards certain things.
00:29:15
Speaker
So it's like a lint brush just kind of picking up lint off the person's psyche. It's hard to describe. I'm told by clients it's also hard to recall the experience. They just leave feeling lighter. They leave feeling like they've had a glimpse of the big picture. And once we have proof
00:29:41
Speaker
that there's something bigger than this human experience. Everything changes. You know, the great love of my life is Leonard Cohen, light of heaven to him. May his memory be a blessing. He said, we are so lightly here. It is in love that we are made and in love we disappear. Which is, by the way, the quote on my Twin Flames background. That was what was so interesting was you started there, yeah.
00:30:09
Speaker
Yeah. So, but that's an absolute truth to me that we are lightly here in love, we are made in love, we disappear. And while we're in this dense body of ours, we are struggling to remember that love. And so I guess I feel the distinction between the divine love that is all of us and all of our source and all of our breath,
00:30:31
Speaker
and the actual human. So it's the potential versus the actual that I can feel the difference. And I get to thread that together with, I don't know how to describe it. It just happens. Yeah, yeah, no, there's a massive amount of this that's not describable. But when I teach my classes, I think
00:30:54
Speaker
Well, for sure, every class I get asked this, but I think it might be the single most common question is just like, what's the difference between the Akashic and the guides? And I'm always like, you know, it's tough. And so I thought maybe I'd force you to take a stab at it. And actually, that's a that's an excellent question, too, because if I were to say, you know, what I what I just described was like, I am doing this and I am doing that, but I'm not. What I'm doing is I'm feeling the feeling and then
00:31:24
Speaker
a saint, an angel, an ascended master, I don't know what, whatever is required seems to come forward. And the reluctance I have in speaking so abstractly, it's huge. It's kind of funny. I like being very, very specific in my messaging. Otherwise, we're just kind of taking stabs in the dark. So I tell people, for instance, if,
00:31:54
Speaker
Let's say, who would it be? Let's use Archangel Raphael. Let's say I feel that Archangel Raphael is interceding in some capacity. I will suggest that the client be mindful of, not look for things, but be mindful of maybe the name Raphael or Ralph will present itself over the next few days. And it's not the most common name
00:32:23
Speaker
But usually that will happen. And I'll get the text saying, I met three Ralphs in the last week. What is going on?
00:32:31
Speaker
and the angels have a funny, funny way of doing that. And by meeting the three Ralphs, it might not be actually becoming acquainted with them, but they might go to a restaurant and their server's name is Ralph and they see it on the receipt. So funny little moments like that are kind of affirmations that we are indeed not alone and that there's something so much bigger than what we really can understand, helping us all the time.
00:32:59
Speaker
Right, right. And then I think part two of that journey, once you have enough serendipity, whatever you want to call it, Ralph, Ralph, Ralph, that you start to open yourself up to the idea that we're not alone, there's something else. Then it's very important, in my opinion, you and I have spoken on it a little, but to not
00:33:22
Speaker
create a new story about what Ralph Ralph Ralph exactly means because we don't know, right? Like what's your take on when people start to get omens serendipity and then think, what do I do with that exactly, right? I think we're getting dangerously close to dogma at that point. Yeah. You know, dogma is very man-made. It's when we take
00:33:50
Speaker
a fluid expressive system and we decide to contain it and make it stagnant and put rules on it and have hierarchy around it. No man steps into the same river twice. No person steps into the same river twice. And so the river's in flux and the person's in flux. And when we try to hold on to one interpretation of a thing,
00:34:20
Speaker
it stops being beautiful and heartwarming and heart opening, and it becomes rigid. Does that answer the question? Absolutely. It's subtle, but truth, right? I think my mind wants to organize around what it thinks the spiritual
00:34:48
Speaker
serendipity, omens, those moments should mean, but going back to what you've been saying, there is no real understanding. So then you have to move back to the fluidity and just allow it to be happening for whatever reasons it is until it becomes clear what and why
00:35:08
Speaker
things are happening and even then you just keep flowing with it,
Fluidity in Spiritual Understanding
00:35:13
Speaker
right? There's a oddity to life in that way that you have to take action, but you can never really confidently understand why you're taking the actions you're taking in all moments. I like the idea as a compliment to that of what people are now referring to as metacognition, being mindful of the way your brain thinks.
00:35:38
Speaker
you know, and deconstructing where your thoughts come from. So while we are in a guided state and trusting that things are happening in an inexplicable way, but we are feeling more grounded and more whole and more
00:35:58
Speaker
alive in ourselves outside of ego. I think it's a wonderful opportunity to get busy paying attention to the way our brain actually thinks and perceives reality. And my big thing in my work is
00:36:19
Speaker
as wonderful as it is to sit around in a Kumbaya circle drinking Kool-Aid together. I think it's even more important that we be kind and generous with each other. The whole point of being an empath, if I feel your pain and I
00:36:39
Speaker
have taken on a life of articulating other people's pain and sometimes eating their pain. And then I go to therapy and then I do, you know, I do my thing. Sometimes it gets on your hands, you know, other people's pain gets on your hands, which is fine. I signed up for that as work.
00:37:00
Speaker
It's not an excuse to live a cloistered life outside of society, making your state as an empath a precious thing. I think we have to be grounded and resilient and generous in our ability to connect to other human beings. Right. Amen to that. Well, Michelle.
00:37:27
Speaker

00:37:54
Speaker
Thank you. Well, I just wanted a tiny little Instagram account as well, where I put my word doodles and my word doodles are these these words that get dropped into my head. And then within two days, the client shows up that they belong to. Oh, I love that. I love that.
00:38:14
Speaker
Well, Michelle, I just want to say I deeply appreciate you, the work you've done. It has been transformational, to say the least, in my life. And for anybody out there that's listening who's looking to experience a connection with a loved one, perhaps is going through a difficult time,
00:38:31
Speaker
or is just very open to guidance in a different way than the Akashic realm. I would definitely say, you know, run, don't walk, but that's my opinion, you know, each to their own and whatever you feel connected to. But thank you so much for sharing your thoughts and wisdom today. And thank you and thank you for the courage of your craft.
00:38:49
Speaker
Oh, thank you. So as they say at the end of every yoga class, no mistakes. I love that. No mistakes.
