Welcome back to a psychic story, Chris. Thank you, Nicole. It's great to be here. It was an honor. Well, I needed to also include in the intro that we are dear friends or you're a dear friend of mine ever since we first had you on or I first had you on on a psychic story where we talked about grief is just unexpressed love, episode 70. So before we kind of dive into your book, which is what we're here to talk about, Road Noise, a spiritual awakening, messages to the living from loved ones who have died. How have you been since you've been on? What has happened since Skash was a year ago, right? Right. Exactly. Wow. Well, first of all, that was the most amazing response from the first episode. And what really endeared me was some people reached out and told me they this motivated them to become hospice volunteers, which that's that's good. That just gives me my truth. And one person said he was so relieved to know that our pets live on and that we can have communication with them. And so what an another person sent me a tie class from the Seattle World Fair that was her father's and she just knew when she was packing things away after he passed that she needed to send it to someone in particular. And when she heard my episode, she messaged me or you know, me and she said it to me and I just it just shows how connected we all are and what a value that this podcast has that we are all teachers and students. And that's kind of my my life lesson, of course. And you're never too old to learn to us. And it's just been kind of a whirlwind ever since. Well, it's been a whirlwind for me too, in the sense that hearing you receive those messages from people both living and dead from the other side and how everything has expanded even in your life. I just want to say thank you again for being on and also for sharing that with me and for our friendship, which I definitely hold very dear. So let's get into your book Road Noise, a spiritual awakening messages to the living from loved ones who have died. You put in the preface how it kind of came about, but for those who don't have the book yet and have not read it. What happened and what led you to write it? Okay, well, when I first started years ago, realizing that it was okay to show that I had these abilities and really start focusing on developing them and embracing them. And then would start having experiences and my husband said, you know, Mike, you get an idea for you to write this down. And then he just kind of said, well, you never know you might want to write a book. And I just kind of laughed at that, right? And so in 2004, I started writing this book and then life happened and I thought, well, this is just everyday stuff. This is something that can be spent. So what that proved to me fast forward to today and that is because I had to live all of the years from 2004 until today to have all the experiences lived and then I could actually include everything. Because my idea and my attention around this book is to help the readers understand that we all have an intuitive ability to encourage them to develop it and believe in their own gut instinct, whatever they want to call it. And the other thing is to provide hope to others that their loved ones do live on. They're not gone. They're just in a different form. That the love remains and that they will be united and that includes pets. So that's kind of how all of this. And then of course, I had to meet you and have all of these experiences as well. And as a side note, I truly value our dear friendship as well. Thank you. Walk us through the book a little bit and how it's structured because a lot of it is your experiences and what you've kind of experienced and learned over time, but then also stories from yourself and other people and how is it structured and walk us through it. Started out from the beginning to my childhood and experiences that I had and then the fact that I learned that we don't talk about those things, that's just your imagination. You're just over sensitive, highly sensitive, you know, that type of thing. And I just, I think that a lot of us, I just back down and said, okay, whatever. And then when I started, you know, capturing the different experiences that I had, then all of a sudden I met Mr. Peterson. And I made a deathbed promise to him that I would write a book about him. And I thought, how am I going to do that? I've only known this man for a few months or whatever. And for people that don't know about Mr. Peterson or Mr. P, can you just take a moment to explain a little bit about him? Oh, yes, sorry. He was a hospice patient of mine. And I was assigned to him to do foot massage to just sort of help him relax and everything he was definitely in the end stages of life. But just a very active person, no matter what. And the minute that he opened the door, my first visit, I saw white light all around him. And I was just standing and I went, oh, boy, this is this is something different. And then as I entered and we sat down, he wanted to interview me a little bit before I touched him. Understandable. And so I somehow I mentioned to him that I had seen the white light around him and he goes, wow, well, honey, I saw the same around you. And that was the beginning of a totally different life after me. So he helped me embrace that. And so the book, Road Noise, first of all, Road Noise, the name came from my husband, Dave, who is so analytical. So he would want to know what the noise was when somebody was trying to speak to me. And he just kept asking me these great questions until I finally said it's like I'm we're driving down the freeway and we stop and it's that raw, raw kind of noise. And he said, oh, well, that's all I have to say is this road noise. And that really resonated with me. So that's how the title came. And then the book just kind of moves forward to my to my different experiences and the the experiences of mind to mind communication. And I didn't understand what's really happening. You know, talking to people in my head thinking that that I hear them out loud when nobody else does. Moving forward to going going through doing readings and I'm usually the one that's the most surprised at the messages or that that I've received something. And then just sort of learning how to deal with it, learning how to protect myself, everything went far there once I enhanced once I did my Reiki master feature level, then that was when it really started to be more in tune. And as I age, I just, you know, it's probably what's going on in the world too, but it just becomes more fine too. Excuse me. And then there's the value of the messages. There's messages in there regarding suicide. There's messages in there regarding bullying. So there's some serious things in the book that that my spirit team and my guys and and those that have crossed over requested me to put in there. So and since it's been published, I have had several of those, well, quite a few of those spirits come back and thank me. So that's encouraging as well. So that's kind of the basic, I guess. No, I love it. Thank you for that. Because obviously I read it. I had the pleasure and honor of writing a testimonial about it. So but for people who are just now hearing about it and haven't had chance to read it, I think it's helpful to hear the structure of it and what to expect. But I would love to go back a little bit about intuition. You said something which you know, I fully believe I've said this on the podcast almost every episode. We all have psychic abilities or intuition. It's within us. It's a part of us. It's who we are, right? Our soul essence and explain a little bit about your belief system and what you've experienced not just with your own intuition, but with others from your perspective. What is intuition and how does it show up and what does it look like? That is one of my main goals as well that I didn't get this information is to that I spent a lot of time teaching others to believe in themselves. I say I do believe that we're born with it. I had an experience that was, you know, that I wrote about in when I was eight years old when my father had a heart attack and I believe in my belief system God spoke to me. And then I thought to myself if I can hear that everyone can and my goal even in teaching because I, you know, I guess it's retired now but I or as retired as one can be right. But I want I want people to understand that the best way to develop your intuition and really go with it is write things down. If you have a gut feeling it, you know, some people don't like that the terminology. So whatever the terminology is is to just get to start with believing in it. And I do believe that we're all born with it. I have watched many people that I have instructed just just the simple things. When you write things down, you can see a pattern on how on how you receive information. We all receive it differently and every way is right for us. And I just want to encourage people to just take it a little lightly and just practice. I just I call it the just try your psyche to get journal and just write things down. And I do that. I still journal every day. I write as you know, I write things down messages that come to me no make no sense to me. So that's what I think I just believe that I'm hoping that I've had several readers reach out to me and say that I made it simple for them to understand how to tap in and to understand their own intuition. So that is another goal of mine is I want people to understand that they can do it if they want to. What is intuition? The intuition is based on here your gut instinct. It's a sense of knowing. Do you want me to give an example of my own? Yeah, or I was just going to say so I the way I describe intuition or at least the best way I can start to describe it is it's our instinct. I think that we tend to as humans downplay it and think it's something supernatural. And in some ways it can be quote unquote supernatural, but in reality and in the heart of it, our intuition is instinct. And as you mentioned, it can show up in multitude of ways for different people depending on how their intuition manifests. So that's what I was kind of asking is like the big question of what is intuition. It can kind of be and show up in a variety of different ways. So yes, for you, how does your intuition show up and then maybe share some examples of how intuition might show up for other people? It's also I always like to say it's a sense of knowing. It's like you know something but you don't have any necessarily proof per se. You just believe. And one of the examples is that was just really funny is that one day my husband came home from work and above his head in my mind's eye, I saw like a comic quotation and it said the word band B-A-N-D in the number three. I thought well, that's weird. I didn't say anything. So this next day he came home, same thing. I have to say this is pretty weird. The third day he came home and that's one of my signals. If I hear something three times, I better pay attention to it. Right, same. Exactly. It's like, okay, I don't want to get that that some. So I said to him, today, this is the word band three mean anything to you. And he just kind of said, well, yeah, he said that would be that's the next level up in my in my job. And I said, oh, well, then you're going to be promoted. He goes, no, I'm not. And I just knew in every part of my being, I said, yes, you are. Please go back with this. No, we're not. So then he gets exasperated and he said, that would be my boss's job. I have no interest in that. No, I'm not going to be a band three. I said, okay, okay, fine. And I just kind of get old for myself. Fast forward 13 months later, he was in a different department and he came home with this kind of smurky smile on his face and said, guess what? I just got promoted to a band three. I said, hmm, imagine that I told you. So it's that just that sense of knowing that's one example. I just recently, I did a tell what I thought was the typo in a text message to somebody. We're going to be moving into a senior cooperative. And I told her we're going to be moving in in the fall of 2022, which at that time, that was the date. And when I went back to, and I happened to just see it again, I had typed 2023 and I was mortified. I was just mortified. So fast forward to last Wednesday. And guess what? Construction has been slower than thought and we're going to be moving in in fall of 2023. So sometimes you have a psychic kit. You don't know it. So again, I would just, other people, I would just pay attention to when you just kind of know something. I think you've probably experienced this too. What usually happens if I don't embrace it and don't do something about it, I end up regretting it. No, exactly. And I love how you explain. It is more of a gut sensor knowing because then people would say, well, all right, even when you gave the example of seeing the band three in your mind's eye, that in my perspective would be seen within your mind's eye, your third eye. And that is more of a visual type. Our intuition, the way that my spirit team has kind of explained it a little bit, the visual they gave me as a ball of yarn that our intuition is all kind of rabbled together. And sometimes as we're pulling the string, it could be that gut sense of knowing it could be emotional feeling. It could actually be a hearing or a scene or all of the clairs as you would someone may explain. But once one piece of that puzzle fits, then another piece of that puzzle or that intuition clicks into place and then it builds that picture so that you have a better sense and understanding of what they're trying to either it's yourself or God or your spirit team is trying to communicate to you. Yes, exactly. Very well. Yes. Yeah. It's hard because sometimes it's hard for me, especially I think for you, well, you've been teaching for a while. I know you're retired, but you, as you said, are never really fully retired. And explaining to people those analogies or using metaphors as well to how it kind of works together with intuition. So you also mentioned mind to mind communication, explain a little bit of that or what I would say is probably telepathy. How does that work and show up and how is that maybe different or the same with our intuition? Because I do think sometimes I get some intuitive hits, especially when I'm in sessions with people and it is reading their mind probably versus a message. Yeah. Well, my experiences were really obvious. I got called on them. Okay. So I, one example was my mother-in-law who was not not able to communicate. She was not talking. And I thought, if she was in a nursing home and I thought, you know, people are nuts. She talks to me all the time. Oh, like that kind of like really mind reading, having conversations. So my daughter was sitting in the room and I was just having, it was a tough conversation. My mother and mom needed to stay in the nursing home and she was begging me to bring her home. And I was explaining, you know, she would say, but I really want to come with you. I'll behave and I'm like, no, it's not that mom. I called him mom too. It's not that it's that we don't, you know, I'm just literally explaining to her that we can't physically take care of her. She needs to be medically taken care. And my daughter just got up and ran out of the room and I'm like, I'll be right back. And she, my mother-in-law kind of just did this little, eye-quinkle thing and I thought, hmm, and I went in and my daughter was just crumpled on the floor and I go, what is the wrong, what is wrong? And she said, you know, we know that Nana's not doing well. She goes, mom, she was, you were talking that loud. She never said a word. Are you crazy? So, so that was a little shocking to me because I truly, I thought I was hearing her with my youth. Another very interesting, another, a friend of mine's mother was really close to passing and she was not communicative. And so I just went in and did a little prayer and lit my candle and started sending her some Reiki and love and I just said, you know, if you can hear me, it's okay. It's okay to pass. I'm here for your girls, etc., etc., even though I live far away from them right now. And she said, thank you so much. She said, I will contact you once I get settled. That was her terminology and she passed within a half an hour after that. So, I'm not sure whether that was mine to mine or that's just another example of, you know. The reason I ask is because I think that for, again, from my understanding and perspective is that our angels or guides now take away our own intuition for a second. Our angels and guides tend to communicate with us through telepathy, which is probably why we receive visuals in our mind's eye or thoughts that pop in our head. Again, it could be our own intuition, but oftentimes, or loved ones from the other side as well, which is you being a medium in particular can probably explain that a little bit. And so, or even when we're communicating with a human person who is still here in living, there's also that mind to mind where a message or a thought or something else is energy to is being sent and shared. But we think about it as that mind to mind their telepathy. So, that's why I was asking the question when you mentioned it. So, thanks for sharing the examples just to give people a little bit more of a sense and detail about how that might show up for them. Okay, so now, you also talked about learning how to protect yourself throughout your whole life and throughout all of this and walk us about walk us through a little bit of that and how you explain it in the book and why it's important for people to do that. I guess probably the question isn't why it's important. We all probably know why it's important to protect ourselves, but how can people be more cognizant and aware and do things on a more routine basis to energetically set boundaries and provide that protection? Okay, well, first of all, I always, before I get out of bed, I invoke Archangel Michael's the blue light of protection along with whatever prayer or whatever I want to start for the day. I have a funny story about that where years ago, I was on the subway going to work and I just, there was going to be a meeting I didn't want to have to deal with because it wasn't involving me. So anyway, as I walked and it was a mile walk from Bart's station to the office, I just kept putting blue light around and around and around. When I walked into the building, when I walked into the front door, the office manager greeted me and what I heard was, well, I couldn't hear a word she was saying so I hear a noise. Everything was blocked. I mean, I asked him to block me and boy did he. So I said, I'll be right back and I went into the bathroom and kind of undid it somewhat. So anyway, you could overdo things as well. But I also, the main thing regarding not like our chocolate centers is when I, what I have realized once I learned more and more about the different energy centers is that we walk around our energy is way outside of our body. And so, so I sit down and I just visually pull my energy back into myself and then, and then do the protection. I usually can tell if I've not done that well, if I'm walking somewhere and I feel like somebody who walk in there's like right behind me and they turn around like a half a block away. I'm like, oh, I'm too, I'm too spread out. And then the other thing I do is visualize like I'm, I'm a magnet. So everybody that I walk by or I'm interacting with, I'm picking up a little of their energy as well. So then I just do a releasing and just visualize releasing and do that. And I do that every night because I just sometimes you don't know how much you really picked up or whatever. So that's, that's the basics that I do. It's not anything real. That's the thing is, is we can make it simple. It doesn't have to be hard or, you know, long. Yeah, absolutely. Well, some people hear protection and then automatically jump into fear mode because they think the protection is to protect us from the nasty stuff, which there are nasty things out there. They're mean people just like there's light, there's dark, there's all of that. But really what we're talking about and you've heard me say this before is spiritual hygiene. We wouldn't go more than a day without brushing our teeth, hopefully, or putting on deodorant or some other things. And this is spiritual hygiene. It's making sure that just like you said, it's like we're sponges energetically or magnets and things attract to us. And we say things that could be somebody who's sad and just a little of that leaked on us or whatever it is. And over time, if we're not keeping our energy field, our work field, our chakras and everything else in balance or cleared, then we can start to feel low energy, tired, and other things can manifest into different ways. So it's really just about keeping those centers and your energy clear. And really, if you think about it almost as if your phone's being plugged in and it's supercharged, you want your energy to be charged up and not low. And so that's why I was asking about the protection is it's less about the scary stuff and more about keeping up with your energy and making sure it's cleared. Mr. P wants to say something. I can hear him. What's he trying to go on about? I'm not sure. Okay, well, we'll come back to him in a second, but all of a sudden he just popped up in my mind's eye. So it's almost like he wants to say something about it. And I said, okay, over to you, but I'm not hearing exactly it's that I'm getting the road noise like they won't want. Yeah, it's okay. We'll get back to him in a second, but I have a feeling it's going to be around protection and contacting and communicating with souls from the other side. But we'll get to that in a second. So Chris, I now would like to pivot to the value of messages in the book, whether it was suicide or bullies, but also the fact that again, as a medium, you communicate a lot with loved ones and people who have passed over or souls, I should say that crossed over to the other side. And also you mentioned in the book that prayers help them. And so talk us talk us through that and what that looks like. Why do prayers matter? And what are the messages that came through for you for this book? Those are that's a two-parter. Okay, well, first of all, I did I did not even think about the fact that when I deliver a message from a loved one to from somebody who's passed to their loved one, I never thought about the fact that that was helping the person that had passed. And so one day I just I was on my what I call my moving medication. So on my on my walk, I just I just thanked one of the one of the young men who actually hit him in the suicide. And I thanked him for coming and giving the message that God forgave him and you know, just the uplifting messages and the apology message. But and so it was kind of quiet. And then all of a sudden he said he always called me Miss Chris. I've never I never met him. So I don't even know him. But anyway, that was cute. Here's what Miss Chris, I need to thank you because delivering those messages and I hear and so does God hear all of my parents and my family's prayers. And that helps me progress. So you can tell it's emotional for me because it's like I didn't and never thought about that part of it. And then the other the other thing is the last chapter that I wrote about an interaction, as I sit and think about it, it's like amazing the energy that this grandma and spirit had to go through and all of her efforts for me to in a public situation, get through all of my protections, get through all of my guys, get through everything to get through and get a message to me that took several days, but I finally got to the person that the message was for. And that's I said, okay, that's that's what I that's the final piece that I had to have to complete this book. And the more I think about it, I mean, you know, I was on a cruise ship with and I was in the theater where this happened. There were hundreds of people there. Imagine if even there was only one spirit trying to get through for every person that was in the room. I mean, it was it was quite phenomenal. And I'm very humbling and honoring to be able to be just a part of that. Yes, I I've said before that I'm not a medium. I know I can speak to spirits who have crossed over, but I don't advertise myself as a medium because of just that fact that you mentioned, there's so much information, energy, messages that can come through. So I sort of say that more or less to put a wall up to ensure that people aren't tapping in and trying to communicate to me or with me. So to your point when someone can get through, I always am amazed because Michael has clearly let them through. I eat my bouncer as I call him has let them through for a purpose and for a reason. So it's funny that you mentioned that as well. But so so you mentioned the prayers that it helps them with the process. What does that mean? Have you gained any clarity of when we go on the other side? What is that process for us all? Well, just by what I kind of pieced together from the different messages and and writing this book is a good thing like that I did what my husband suggested and I wrote those notes down because a lot of the early messages I didn't remember or recall. And that's another thing that if you know if you get a message in it goes, you're just a messenger so it goes in and out of your brain. Unless it unless it has a huge emotional impact on me that I don't remember a lot of it or even any of it sometimes. So just the fact that that that they've said to me we're progressing, we're learning. I've had direct contact with three different people that committed suicide for three different reasons. What I find very interesting is is alternative them hung themselves and all three of them were surprised at work. And so they had to work through and one of the things that the 14 year olds said is that he thought he was eliminating the stress for his family because the bullying had his father he was gone, right? And he said he didn't realize in what he's learning though that's kind of why it is the horrible impact that that had on his family and he just didn't didn't understand that what he's learning is he was not in his right frame of mind at the time. So it sounds like I guess like you hear people say a life review of sorts. I'm not sure exactly how to really put it together other than it just feels like they're reviewing and learning what happened and transpired and how it could have been different and how we all affect each other. The ripple effect. Exactly. That's how that book got came apart. Yeah. So that's really I mean I don't have any really extended experience with that. It's just that they've all all of them have used the word learn. Now whether that's just for my frame of reference how I receive it, I don't know. They are experiences on earth that we have in this lifetime we would learn from those experiences otherwise what's the purpose of having them. You know, and also when we go over on the other side I would hope that we would be able to kind of take a look back and see not just the impact but if we had made different choices what that impact or that life would potentially look like in a different way. I'm sure that that's extremely insightful. I did receive a question from a listener and I thought that it would be perfect to ask you this and that is how do I know if my deceased loved one made it safely to the other side. We don't like the answer but everyone makes it safely. It's to what situation they're in. So if they're that we do have different stages of enlightenment when I have learned from the other side and therefore like the like the three that committed suicide they they got there safely. It's just that they now have work to do I guess or to learn what what they did and their the effects both good and bad I mean as far as our passing and then they also I've never had anyone ever say they were disappointed with how somebody the choices that's like a caregiver whether had to make and that Mr. Peterson here he is. He wants me to say that people who are having to make decisions end of life decisions for someone else to trust that person entrusted them in the first place and that and that they didn't do anything wrong and if there are other people that passed before their loved one could get to them to say say goodbye and again nobody has ever has ever said to some of them has said that's because I couldn't pass with them watching me. A lot of people have that guilt or want to make sure that they made the quote unquote right decisions for someone who they loved who passed over and think it helps resolve that for people when you just said if they entrusted them also life is going to happen or the end of life is going to happen exactly how it needs to and exactly how it's supposed to go whether that person was there and you were with them when they passed or whether you weren't and they pass there's a whole process that goes into it that it all happens in divine timing and I firmly believe that. Absolutely and the other thing is I know a lot of people always worry about somebody dying alone and they're not ever alone like when my mother was just starting her process her daughter-in-law was sitting on one side of the bed and I was on the other and she she looked up and she just kept being me and I'm like who are you looking at mom and she just turned to me and smiled and raised her shoulders and I said oh you're not going to tell me are you? She just shook her head no and I said okay fine so fast forward after she passed and I was with a friend of mine who is a well-known psychic international psychic medium and stuff so I said to her does my mother have any messages for me and you know I mean here I am I do this all with the you know for other people and she goes yes complete gratitude yeah I was wanting just big a long explanation and everything and and then I said okay so I did everything right I made all the right choices I did everything right and then I kind of sat back and I said so do you get who she was you know who she was looking at and my friend laughed and said okay here's her answer I wouldn't tell you then why would I tell you now and so number one that made me laugh number two that is just my mother's personality and number three it's like okay we're not supposed to know absolutely everything and tell it's our only experience so that kind of calmed me down a little bit there too I was getting that she thought that whoever she was looking at was really cute I don't know why I was getting this like kind of little girl like school girl feeling where she was like blushing like oh good looking is what I was getting but take it or leave it I don't know that's mr. P's laughing well I had a suspicion that it was my dad but that's also kind of a romantic idea you know you had your dad isn't you know creating your mom type of thing but that kind of that kind of fits for that okay so I have one more question from someone it actually just came through why we were doing this interview so I feel like it's divine timing so you've heard me say Chris that when I was coming here to earth before I came there was at the time when I was looking down at earth and I wanted to go I heard this voice say it's not time yet and by the time I went to turn around then they said it is time and it was almost as if time didn't exist okay so this person says this got me wondering when our loved ones come to visit from the other side are they in a similar space where time moves quickly are they not think they even track time yeah there are almost omnipotent in the sense of time time doesn't exist on the other side so they can from what I understand go into the future go into the past come to the present it also just doesn't exist because that's time doesn't exist is what I've been told but I wanted to hear your your perspective on that yeah absolutely plus they can be in several places at once like I can be talking to my friend who has done past he's in the book and he just has a spunky heart allergy kind of fun energy and he will be with me here in Washington and with her in Arizona at the same time yeah and that made her feel a little bit better because she thought she was feeling him around but she said well I said can't you see I'm gonna be sure as well I thought I could but he's with you I said he's what both of us and of course I won't say exactly how he said it but he was he made it very clear that that was dumb for us to think that he could be in two places that one got it I totally believe that so thank you for answering and then the question kind of goes on a little bit and she said when my dad passed away when I was a kid and through readings I've been told that he's in a university and I'm using air quotes here or she did but we'll come back from time to time my mom however passed away just last year and she comes back to me often do you think that there are different levels or spaces that we enter once we pass away I do I absolutely do and again I what I believe in just by you know what I've experienced and heard and stuff because I jot a lot of messages down that that are just random things and not for somebody I mean other than myself or whatever and that is is that we you know only a party but a part of our soul comes into the body form so that we're always connected in you know in different ways and and I see that I don't know why but I've always see that as multicolor one ribbon but multicolor and I I remember oh this I just had a memory I was about 11 years old I think maybe 12 12 me and I was on a vacation with us with my childhood friend on their boat and for whatever reason I I got up to the near I looked right in my own eyes in the near instead who are you and and then I don't remember a response right away I mean at that young of an age you know now I'd already had the experiences with my dad but having premonitions that something was wrong in helping him but I went on and rode we each had our little little rowboat and oh I used to love I loved what I mean I was rolling and rolling and all of a sudden it was as if I received the answer and it and I just heard you're a divine being of light oh wow and I I didn't remember that until right now just right now wow they gave you the answer and the memory again that's amazing I know thank you well thank you I mean it wasn't me our collective energy and our spirit team and guides just holding the space for us yeah I got chills that feels awesome yeah I'm gonna write that down Nicole well you don't have to because it's forever immortalized in this podcast episode you can listen back you know I'm just gonna you can write it down too we are divine beings of light you heard it here folks all right I do want to give mr. P an opportunity to either come back in and give the answer to or whatever the answer was that he wanted to talk about with protection or anything else so giving him that opportunity but also for you Chris I want to pivot in a moment to talk about something else that's related to you and I and a group of people but also if there's anything else related to the book you want it to mention what me is unusually quiet I know I can feel him I can I can sense him and feel him and almost is if he wants to jump in but it's okay it's all right he doesn't need to be shy so basically the book was written for in divine timing and I am the most reluctant author that was never a goal of mine and I am very I have to say I'm very proud of this book because I'm pleased that so many people have already said how much value that they've received from it including my advanced readers but it's just kind of encouraging to me that that hopefully I can teach through this book and reach people that I always feel that it'll go to the people that that needed the most and that's kind of my intention yes well let's all make Chris an international best-selling author by going and picking up her book which we'll get to where you can get it from I'm sure it's on Amazon and other places but before we kind of close out Chris I'd love for you to share a little bit about the intention box that you do for yourself and me and others and also maybe share a little bit about if people want to make their own intention box or something how how can they go about it okay well the intention box started when when and I did it differently than when I was in Arizona and and had my learning center and so we would meet once a month for development circle so we would all write an intention read it out we all would bless it and then put it in the spot and then the next monthly we'd take it out so I when I when we moved I just I kept the boxes that I had and then and then I explained it much better in the book but then just one day I'm like one day I'm like my spirit team said the council wants to speak to you I'm like that sounds like you're getting called to the principal's office the council wants to speak to you so I said okay okay I brushed to my safer corner I lit my candle I sat down I did a prayer and then I started and what I do is where the council is is I have this guided journey medication they gave me in there and they said it's time to offer an intention box to a group of of women that really need your help and and you know most of them so went through a ceremony and then I go back out so I start writing this and I'm just kind of like oh my goodness you know people are gonna think I'm nuts and then I say okay whatever so I reach I reach out and everybody's like yes let's try it so what I do is every Friday people that are in the box send me an intention and then I personally it's all by text usually I personally then hand write them do a ceremony and then close the box and by and by the way I totally misunderstood the assignment when you first asked me I thought it was an intention I definitely misunderstood the assignment I thought it was an intention that was one of those longer term goals and intentions not a weekly thing so when you kept texting me I was like it's the same intention it's the same intention now I totally understand but yes yes oh well so my dad because so it's both so so here's what so it's just kind of transpired also a little i.e. from the last from the last podcast I had somebody call me and and we did a reading and then I got called back to the council Michael who might finish and they said this is the invite this person now this is somebody I didn't know at all and and invite her to see and she was thrilled and she joined it so she's been a part of this too so it it progressed so it's a weekly intention a year intention and a prayer section and I added the prayer section because people started setting an intention for somebody else and we can't do that you know like me so I said okay back to the council what how do you want me to do this so it it is to me a very sacred thing it can be as as simple as you want or as elaborate as you want I mean then you can do it you know just do it yourself just feel what what feels good to you write down what I will say is be very specific like I saw I want something to happen but by May the 30th say May the 30th 2023 I have found it and there is a section in the book about it that it has helped many of our group stay focused and cut out all the chatter and focus on what they want either one week at a time or whatever and and often even you're not the only one often they'll keep the same one because if you have something that you're really wanting to work on it's important a week right to do well I think what's great about all of that is if people want to kind of create their own intentions what I was hearing when you were talking was you could almost set up a group chat of sorts where you send text to the full group to say what I'm in gratitude for what your intention is for that week or your intentions and maybe there's not an actual physical box per se that you create but I love also the fact that you have a physical box and then you take it and you write it out because there's something about speaking it out loud and stating it from an energetic perspective and also writing it down and having it in the physical form all of that helps it from from at least again my opinion and perspective make it more powerful in that manifestation because that's the energy behind it but you know for people that are interested if you want to create your own intention box or your own sort of gratitude and intention chain I think that it provides ripple effects with multiple people because then you have everyone else holding that space and holding that intention for you in a very powerful way not just the universe and source and god but also physical human and spiritual beings as you mentioned we're all beings of divine light so you have other beings that are holding that for you right oh and also the other thing that I do this is just just me but as people remove their intention I then fold up the paper put it up to my heart energy and say we release this with gratitude so I it's all about ceremony for me personally and there are sometimes that after I complete the whole thing that I just have to sit still it's like I'm vibrating out of my body so to speak and I just feel this this sense of connection and one that so for me being the host I mean everybody is always thanking me for you know it takes time and energy and all the other stuff it does but what I again what I receive is so huge that I if I look forward to Friday's always been the kind of my favorite day of the week ever since I was little anyway but I look forward to Fridays to see what what has developed and what's and what's up next you know with everybody mm-hmm yes no and I'm honored thank you for having me be a part of it and for anyone else we'll include some of those steps in the show notes for you but yes you can create your own intention box or your own intention text chain gratitude box gratitude text chain whatever that looks like for you think that that is a really great way for people to also build that sense of community with their friends and or family or others and like you said you had somebody that had a session with you I know you're retired so you don't really do them as much but the fact that you also received that intuitive hit of include her she was part is part of your community now part of your circle that inner circle that we have with with us exactly and that's that's one of the many beauties of this podcast is that you as the host bring and I know all of your guides and angels and things but I mean brings such a valuable service to others to create so that we know we're not alone so that we know you know if you've worked something out I mean you know I will work something out my husband will say you talk to me or a dead person and you know I mean it's just that's very common anymore but I had to have I've had to get to that point and so to know that there are other that there are other people and by the way I cannot wait for your book to get out I can hardly wait oh thanks yes I still have a few more tweaks or we have a few more tweaks got myself and our angel teams and all of that but yes me too just I never realized I knew that books were a lot of work but not to this extent especially when you're writing about the spiritual and the energy that comes through it and the healing and the releasing not just for myself but for others you know if my angel team had told me that I probably would not have said yes just got honestly I would not I would not have done it not because it's not helpful and I don't love it it's just yeah it's a lot going on but anyway but thank you yes I'm excited for you and everyone else to read it too okay my dear anything else you wanted to cover that we have not had a chance to get to no I don't think so that mr. Peterson is clapping all right well I gave him several opportunities to chime in so speak now forever hold your piece mr.
