Past Life Psychic! Meli Guidance!

[00:00:11] Right then guys, welcome back into The Spooky Shed Podcast, your go-to place for conversations around all things weird, scary and of course spooky. Today with me I have got Meli Guidance from Mystical and Practical. So Meli, welcome into The Shed, how are we? Hi, I'm good yourself. Good, good, good. I'm good, I'm good. Like I say, it's a while since I've done this, so like I say, you're going to have to bear with me until I remember what I'm doing. Oh no, you're good.

[00:00:40] Right, luckily you're one of the only people that is already prepared for this, so I always start by getting my guests to leave something in the shed with me. So for anyone who doesn't know, it can be anything you want, something you love, something you hate, personal, place, feeling, an actual physical object, anything you want. So what have you got for me?

[00:01:00] I'm going to leave in the shed something that I love, which is a dragonfly, because dragonflies are signs I am getting from my spirit guide. So I work as a past life psychic, I'm very much connected to what I call spirit guides. But, you know, if any of the listeners don't really click with that, you can just say the universe in general.

[00:01:26] So it's a sign I keep getting in crazy different ways. So yeah, I'm leaving a cute little dragonfly in your shed. Fair enough, fair enough. It's different. It's the first time someone's left a dragonfly, so I'll take that. It'll go with all the spiders that I've got in here. Yeah, yeah. And there's some good sized ones in here now, I tell you. Yeah.

[00:01:53] Luckily, I don't mind spiders. A lot of people hate them, but yeah. Good. Right, so you mentioned there that you are a past life psychic. Now, I'm going to be, I'm going to play dumb and I will, like, explain that to me. So, right, I'm not a medium. Mediums are the people who connect with past loved ones and transmit messages.

[00:02:21] Although that happens for me from time to time to get past loved ones while I do readings. But when I do readings, I connect with all types of spirit guides. I often do Akashic Records reading, which are more, like, elevated. So it can be any kind of spirit guide, like the spirit guide that is with you since the inception of your soul. Or it can be, like, archangels or ascendant masters.

[00:02:49] And when I am communicating with them, my specialty is to go and look at the source of, it may be a blockage, a fear, something that, you know, in your life, you just cannot explain why you have that. Sometimes it is stored in a trauma from a past life. So I connect to the energy of the person I'm reading for.

[00:03:15] Or I connect with their spirit guides, open their Akashic Records and ask, like, what is the source of X fear? And if it's in a past life, then I'm going to see the past life as a mini movie. And so I can explain to people what happened to them in a past life. So, you know, maybe they have been judged and killed for something they didn't do.

[00:03:45] Maybe they're, I don't know, lost their house and their family in a fire. Maybe they have drowned and this is why they are so scared to swim nowadays, to go in the water. So I uncover that and I ask for tools for them so that they can heal from that fear. Okay. Yeah, I get that.

[00:04:13] And then I suppose in a way then I thought that almost, it's almost like gives a reason for those like irrational fears that people have. Right. Right. Something that you cannot explain, you're trying to go back in your childhood or sometimes it might be a physical ailment and the doctors are helping you with it. But the source of it, the doctors are completely clueless. So I can go and check out what's going on in past lives.

[00:04:39] People also like to know how they are linked to their spouse or their parents. So I can go check that out as well because I can see all the decisions people make when they do their soul plan. So for each incarnation, we choose a bunch of things like our soul's missions, our soul types that will shape our personality,

[00:05:01] but also who are our parents going to be, who are our potential soulmates because we have many different soulmates. We have many choices. We never know what's going to happen once we incarnate. So we have a lot of different choices depending on what karma we want to balance, how much, how we want to help fellow souls in an incarnation. So yeah, I could talk about it like for a whole podcast and more.

[00:05:32] Fair enough, fair enough. Right, well, let's go to the start with it then. So how did you get started with this? How did you realize this was something you could do? Yeah, so I am not from a family of people who are psychic or people who believe in that. Like my parents didn't believe in that. For them, all psychics were charlatans. So that was what I was believing.

[00:06:01] And the first encounter I had with the spirit that was an inkling that I was able to have some kind of connection with the spirit world happened very, very early on at five years old. And it was very scary and confusing. I was in my room in the middle of the night. I got woken up because someone was talking in my room.

[00:06:30] But there was no physical person in my room. A spirit was talking to me and I could hear them with my, I say, physical ear. Because there is something in the psychic senses that is called the third ear, which means like you're a clairaudient and you can hear, you know, spirit guides or past loved ones talking to you through your third ear.

[00:06:57] Which is the exact same of when you're dreaming and people are talking to you. Like you do not hear them in your room. It's just kind of in your head. So I do have clairaudient. But that spirit, when I was five years old in my room, like he woke me up because I could hear him talking as if someone was actually physically in my room. And I say he when referring to that spirit because I just knew.

[00:07:25] I just sensed like it was masculine energy that was there. Also with the sound of his voice, like it was masculine to me. And I was five. So I don't remember what he was saying. It's been a quite a long time. And but I remember being so scared. I was so nervous and sweaty. And at some point, the spirit realized that I was super scared.

[00:07:54] So he stopped and he said, OK, I'm going to leave your room. And when I come back, if you have your back turned to me, I will understand that you do not want any contact with me. He probably sensed that I was way too scared to talk to him and say, no, I don't want this. So he didn't ask me, like, do you want to keep contact or not?

[00:08:23] Because I was completely frozen. So he left the room. I turned my back to where he was and I pulled the covers over my head. So I was turned on my right side. He came back, noticed, you know, I didn't want any contact. And he went like, hmm, like, OK. And then he left.

[00:08:48] And I swear to you for I don't know how many years, I think all the way through sometime in my adult life, I slept on my side with the covers above my head because I was so scared I would have another encounter. I was just really aware that there is something. There are invisible things around us. And I was so small.

[00:09:15] I was like, are there a ton of people in my room? What is going on? So the next morning, I'm trying to rationalize this because I just know that it's weird. So I go to see my mom and I was like, hey, did you come in my room last night? I think I heard someone talking to me and she's like, no, no, no one came into your room last night. And so I think, oh, it's my brother.

[00:09:44] He's always playing jokes on me. He's 10 years older than I am. So he was 15. So I go to see him and I'm like, hey, did you come into my room? Because it was a male voice that I was hearing. And he's like, no, I was sleeping. I didn't come up the stairs and go into your room. So I was like, OK. And I completely closed the door to the spirit world. Never talked about this to anyone. Now I'm just talking about it to everyone.

[00:10:14] But in those days, it was like, OK, I don't want to seem like I'm a crazy person. So I will just shut up about it and try not to think about it. But of course, once I was alone in my room, it was always thinking about. I was just I was living in the countryside. So there weren't many cars on the roads at night.

[00:10:37] And I was just praying for cars to go by or a plane to go by so that I would hear some outside noises. Because I knew I could hear other kind of voices, noises. And I was super scared. So at five years old, I was like, I need to cut myself from all of this. And I truly did because nothing happened for me for 20 years after that.

[00:11:07] Yeah. I've got a sort of similar thing, which I'll tell you about next. But so I don't know if you'll be able to remember this. But when that happened then, so could you like. Obviously, you said you could hear him. And he said that obviously, like, he left and came back and you were first and the other way. So that was how we knew that, you know, you didn't want anything to do with it. Could you like feel him in the room? Oh, yeah.

[00:11:35] Could you like feel a presence in the room with you? Yeah. I remember I could feel him and kind of see him through my third eye because I would keep mostly my eyes shut because I was so scared. But then it wasn't helping me that much because I have this ability to see through my third eye, which is how, you know, I can see now go and channel past lives for people. I see them through my third eye.

[00:12:03] It's not like, oh, magically, there's a screen appearing in front of me. So I could really sense his energy and his presence. And this is how I knew when he left that he had left because my back was turned to him. So it was really this kind of energy that left. And it wasn't malevolent or anything. But, yeah, it was too scary for me. Yeah, I can imagine it being, I can definitely imagine it being scary.

[00:12:31] But it's also quite nice that it was fairly reasonable. Yes. What a gentleman. You don't hate ones like that very often. But I used to do a similar thing. And it's, I mean, I've been told by mediums and stuff before that it is, that is the age where things like start and stop around five or six years old.

[00:12:56] Because up until I was about five or six, I used to sit in my bedroom and just talk to people that weren't there. Oh, my God. How many people? See, this is the problem. Because I was only five, like, it's a really weird one. So I remember doing it. But I don't have, like, really strong memories. I remember being sat in my room and I remember talking, but I don't remember who I was talking to, what I was saying or what they were saying or anything. But they were replying.

[00:13:25] Yeah, yeah. Wow. I've been told recently who one of them possibly was. So that was weird. Can you tell us? Yeah, so it was a medium that I had on here. And she, we were talking and all of a sudden, like, halfway through a conversation, she just said to me, oh, do you remember Charlie? And I was like, no, because I don't know anybody called that. And my mom's a medium as well.

[00:13:54] So she told me to ask my mom, like, because obviously she'll have a better memory of when I used to do that than I did. So I messaged her and I was like, when I used to sit in my bedroom and speak to people, being all weird, and, like, was one of them called Charlie? She was like, I can't remember for definite, but my mom's spirit guide is called Charlie. My dad's granddad was called Charlie and my dad's uncle was called Charlie. So. Oh, my God. Exactly. That is so beautiful. And I love that your mom is a medium.

[00:14:21] So she was able to just welcome this. So I'm guessing this is why you weren't super scared. No, well, and I mean, still now when I was a kid, I was like, a bit weird. So stuff like that didn't bother me. Yeah.

[00:14:41] But my, like, whole story with the paranormal stuff is quite weird because probably until I was about 10, 11, 12, like, I was really into it, loved it. I always used to want to watch stuff about ghosts. And then through my teenage years, I became very, very skeptical. And it's only since doing the podcast that I've become more of a believer again.

[00:15:04] And since I have my son who does all sorts of weird stuff that I can't explain, which has made me start believing in things a lot more again. Wow. You definitely need to come on my podcast to talk about all this. It's fascinating. And hearing you talk about it, I'm remembering that even though I shut the door or maybe it was around I was five. I cannot remember.

[00:15:28] But I remember saying to my mom that there was a magician in my room. Hmm. The thing is, now I can still see the man. Now I'm realizing, like, little me was calling him a magician, but he was wearing a suit like a tux, a tuxedo and a top hat.

[00:15:51] So to me, that was a magician, but he was probably a spirit who, like, kept his attire from the old days. And when I would lose something in my room, I would immediately think, well, it's gone because the magician took it. Because magician make things disappear and then reappear later. So that was kind of my reasoning. That didn't scare me because I would see the magician in the daylight. And he wouldn't talk to me.

[00:16:21] He was just around. So who knows? I never thought about asking who he was. Because I should. I should. I have this ability. Sometimes I'm not that curious. But, yeah, I'm guessing someone who used to be close to me, maybe in a past life, an ancestor who was looking over me because I felt really, really good around their presence. Like, I would keep playing and not minding them being around.

[00:16:51] Yeah, that was, I say, when I used to do my thing of sitting in my room and talking to people, that was only ever, well, as far as I can remember, that was only ever during the day. I never, it was, I don't have any memories of anything ever happening on a night, which, I mean, I don't know if there's a reason to that. There might be somewhere. That's weird because usually in the night we're very much more perceptive because everything is quiet.

[00:17:19] And in the moments before we fall asleep, like our guards are down and we're very much open. And for me, things happen before I go to sleep. I always like it, like it's fun, but I also want to sleep. But I would hear sometimes knocking. Like knocking on a door, but it's in my head. It's not in my house. Like as if someone is asking, can I come into your space and talk to you?

[00:17:48] And I'm always like, okay, that's nice, but no. Or sometimes a woman says, hello, in French. She's like, hello. And I'm like, oh no, lady. No, no, no, no, no. I'm going to sleep. But I'm guessing I could have some conversations before sleep if I wanted to. But I'm very much like, no, I work as a psychic. This is my job. I do this in my own terms when I feel like it.

[00:18:15] So when I'm ready to sleep, like it's my beauty sleep. And I need my energy to be able to do the reading. So, yeah. Yeah. So just to go back to like past lives in general. And so this might be a stupid question. I don't know. But does everybody have a past life or past lives?

[00:18:40] Or, you know, is there still people out there that are brand new, we'll say? There aren't any brand new souls anymore because humans are messing up the planet too much. So the spirit guides decided to stop creating new souls. So we still have young souls on Earth, obviously, because you can see, you know, leaders like Putin and Trump and all those people.

[00:19:08] They're obviously very young souls who are attached to power and they're creating wars and all of this. But so the strategy here from the spirit guides is to balance things out because we evolved way quicker than they thought. And the planet, we're just trashing the planet like too much war, not enough cooperation.

[00:19:37] So they're like, OK, we're stopping creating new souls. So which means everyone has past lives. And we reincarnate a ton. We reincarnate through 10 soul levels. I'm using that structure. There are many, many structures. And I'm not saying others aren't valid. It's just I'm using the one that resonates with me. And it's the structure by past life psychic Ainsley McLeod.

[00:20:04] And I was working with that structure before I became a psychic. So I just asked my spirit guides, hey, is it cool if I keep working with that structure? Because I feel like it's the most logical to me. And we reincarnate from about 5 to 15 times in one level. And there are 10. Right. So if you do the math, if you're an old soul, well, you're nearly reincarnated close to 100 times.

[00:20:34] So this is how past life trauma gets stored. And we bring it along in our incarnations after that. And sometimes it takes us a few incarnations to truly heal a past life trauma, to heal it completely. So, yes, of course, everyone has past lives. Fair enough. Fair enough.

[00:21:00] So can you give, like, obviously without revealing any names or anything, could you give me an example then of, like how you say, like a past life trauma that you might be able to help somebody with? Yeah, there are a lot.

[00:21:19] I'm working with a lot of people who are wanting to become psychics themselves or who want to just connect with their spirit guides because I give courses on how to channel, how to read the Akashic Records. So a lot of people come to me and are looking at why am I so scared to connect with the spirit world. And a lot of them have the witch wound.

[00:21:45] The witch wound is when a woman during the witch hunt, you know, has been taken and judged for, you know, something that was nothing. Like maybe she was just bringing herbs into her house and she was making some herbal tea. And people say, oh, she's a witch. She's making potions. And then she gets burned at the stake or hanged or, you know, thrown stones.

[00:22:15] And that person dies from that. And then you reincarnate. Maybe you reincarnate as a man or as a woman. And then your soul still remembers that. And your soul goes, oh, if we connect with the spirit world in any way and we talk about it, the consequences will be dire.

[00:22:36] And what happens when we die before our time like this, when someone murders us, we don't get to accomplish all our soul plan and our soul missions. So when we're cut short, it really hurts us on a soul level because we've planned all these beautiful things and we want to evolve and connect with other people.

[00:23:04] And so our souls are always like, oh, be careful. You don't want to reproduce a situation that cut short to your life in the past. So I'm getting to see a lot of that, but also many different things. Like I'm seeing people who are having a hard time with intimacy and might have been raped in the past.

[00:23:29] People who are having a fear of betrayal and they have been betrayed by a spouse in the past. People who fear like people with authority, like people in uniforms. They are so uneasy about them and they are always scared of their bosses. Well, that's because they had a boss in a past life that was abusive, maybe. So that's the kind of thing I go check in past lives.

[00:23:59] Fair enough, fair enough. I mean, it makes sense to me. Like I said, I get it. And to be honest, it's not something I'd really thought about like that. So that does actually make a lot of sense to me. Like I said, I mean, especially where like I said, there was like not like irrational fears, but fears that a lot of people have, but not everybody has. So it kind of makes sense of like where they can come from. Yeah, exactly. Yeah.

[00:24:29] Yeah, I get it. I get it. That's cool. It's not cool people being scared of stuff, but it's cool to know why. Yeah. Yeah. So when we were emailing back and forth, you sent me a couple of other paranormal experiences that you've had. Do you want to tell me about some of them? Yeah, sure. So I already talked about what happened to me at five years old. And I mentioned that for 20 years, nothing happened.

[00:24:58] I really closed the door. And just like you, I mean, and the teenagers, the teenage years, you don't want to be the weird kid. You want to be accepted. So I didn't open the door to that at all. And then at 25 years old, my father passed away. And, you know, when you have a close one who passes away, everyone is going to tell you someone who's really, really close. Things happen.

[00:25:27] So when he passed away, I didn't want him to contact me. Like I knew his life force was somewhere, his consciousness. I knew he wasn't gone, gone. But I was way too scared. And one night I felt his presence and I felt his hand brush on mine. And I just went, no, like, I know you want to try. I just know you're there. But I wasn't even able to talk.

[00:25:56] And I knew he could understand because a few years back, I was visiting my parents and we watched The Sixth Sense together. I was so, so scared because it reminded me, oh, my God, like I have this ability to see the unseen. And I was so scared that I went up and asked my parents to sleep in their bed. But I was maybe, I don't know, 22 years old.

[00:26:27] I was an adult. And my father was like, I cannot believe she wants to sleep in our bed. I was unable to sleep in my bed in the basement. So, yeah, so I knew he knew. I was super scared of ghosts. And that was it. And six months later, I was living in Montreal at the time. And I was living close to the cemetery where he was buried.

[00:26:53] And so I thought, wow, it's a super nice sunny day. I'm going to take a long walk and I'm going to go and see his tomb. Haven't been there since he passed. And the closer I was getting to the cemetery, the more I was getting a no. Like this energy of no and kind of taken back by an energy saying, no, you're not going there.

[00:27:23] And I was like, OK, this is all stupid. It's a huge cemetery. There are many entrances. So I'm like, it's fine. Instead of entering by the side, I'll just go and enter by the official entrance. And so I walk to the other entrance and the no is even bigger. And then I get a flash in my mind of a book and I hear, go read the book.

[00:27:47] And I get a flash of the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton, which I had heard about a few months before that by a colleague, but completely had forgotten about it. And so I'm zooming to the bookstore. There was a bookstore nearby. I'm like, I'm going to the bookstore and I'm buying that book. And I read it like in one shot. It's fascinating. Michael Newton is a man who's a hypnotherapist.

[00:28:16] And he used to regress people in their childhood just to see, oh, what happened in your childhood that you may not remember, but that created a blockage for you. At some point, he realized that people were talking about weird stuff that didn't have to do anything with their childhood. And he realized that people were talking about what was happening in between lives and in their past lives.

[00:28:43] People who don't know each other, like different cultures, different religions, would all explain the afterlife and past lives with the same terminology. And while I was reading that, it was talking about past lives and spirit guides and soulmates and soul family. I was like, oh, my God, yes, I remember all of this. And so it was really a big, big awakening for me.

[00:29:13] And that night, as I was going to bed, my hands started shaking uncontrollably. And then my arms started shaking uncontrollably. And then I started seeing a blue light in my room. And I was so scared. I screamed, no, never do this to me again. And it stopped. Like, it was scary that I couldn't control, like, my arms.

[00:29:42] But now that I understand how the spirit world works and that I've heard people who had dissimilar experience but didn't say stop, I knew that if I had just stick it out for a few more seconds, everything would have become completely still. And I would have contacted someone, maybe my father, maybe a spirit guide, who knows.

[00:30:07] But maybe a spirit guide because spirit guides, like souls, the more elevated they become, the kind of darker the color becomes. Like when we're young souls, our aura is more yellow. And then our spirit guides are more indigo blue. Right. And I was seeing blue, which, as Michael Newton explained in the book, is the color of our spirit guides. But I said no.

[00:30:35] I was too scared. So I closed myself off to the spirit world once again. But I still had this remembrance that, wow, I come from somewhere else. And it all made sense because now I was like, yes, I remember I was about seven or eight and I was playing and looking at the sky. And I was remembering I come from another place. And I asked my mom, where do we come from?

[00:31:05] And she's like, well, nobody really knows. But I could sense like there was something bigger. And so I kind of put all the pieces of the puzzle together. And I was like, I completely remember this. This is wonderful. So I don't want any more communications. But I do believe in all that stuff from that point on. Fair enough. Fair enough. I mean, I will say I'd have done exactly the same thing as you.

[00:31:34] Like I said, if I couldn't control my hands and I was seeing lights and stuff, I'd be like, no, I'm out. I'm done. Yep. I definitely don't blame you for that because I'd have done the exact same thing. Probably sooner. Yeah. And I lately heard the experience of Matt Cook, who is a manifestation coach. And like he stuck it out.

[00:31:58] And once, you know, the kind of there was a weird noise and it was shaking a bit, I believe. And after that, when all went quiet, he heard his mom say, hi, Matt. And his mom actually talked to him. And when I listened to his testimonial, I was like, damn it. That could have been me. Yeah.

[00:32:51] So, like, my granddad was the first, like, it was the first, like, first, first, like, real death that I ever had to deal with. And, like, my granddad was, like, my favorite person ever. He was hilarious. And I always remember, well, two or three months after he died, maybe, like, I had, like, a really, really vivid dream. So, my sister, she's the youngest of us.

[00:33:18] And she was 17 when he died. And, like, over here, you make a big deal out of your 18th birthday. And my granddad always used to say to my sister, like, you know, that's when she'd become a woman when she was 18. And, like, my sister was good because, obviously, he never got to see her turn 18. So, I had this really vivid dream that it was my sister's 18th birthday party. And, like, I turned around and my granddad was just stood there.

[00:33:47] And I'm, like, shouting at everybody that, like, he's there. And everyone's just looking at me like, what the fuck are you going on about? Like, everyone's looking at me like I'm weird. And I'm the only one that can see him. And then, like, I just run up to him and hug him. And then, like, sort of, like, shrink back down to being, like, a proper little kid. Like, I remember, like, because, I mean, I'm, like, 6'3". I'm quite tall. But then, like, in my dream, I, like, I shrunk back down to being the kid again. And then I woke up and, like, honestly, it was nice but fucking awful at the same time.

[00:34:17] Yeah. It was the weirdest feeling I've ever had in my life. Yeah. Yeah. I think we all have those vivid dreams. And the more impressive I've heard of is from my mom, who doesn't believe at all in all that stuff. And she's like, I had a dream of your father. But I had my eyes open. It was the most peculiar thing. She had her eyes open. And she's like, I was really in the room.

[00:34:47] And I was on the bed. And he just came from the corner of the room. And he spoke to me. And she could say to me everything that he said. And she said he had this group. And, like, I could see afar from him. Like, there was a group. And there was kind of this person that was, like, the boss. And he was in blue. And at some point, your father told me, oh, I have to go.

[00:35:17] They're waiting for me. I have to go. I cannot stay here. And I had just read the book Journey of Souls by Michael Newton. And I was like, oh, my God. He was with his soul family. And the person is blue was his spirit guides. And he was, you know, allowed to make a little visit. And maybe the spirit guide was facilitating the contact. And I was like, wow, this is so beautiful. I didn't have that type of dream. But I did have vivid dreams with my father.

[00:35:45] And I had one that was really poignant where he didn't really talk to me because he wasn't very talkative when he was alive. And we were in the pool. And he was smiling at me. And I remember the summer before he passed away, the last swim that we had in the family pool in the countryside.

[00:36:12] It was just with my father, which was rare that we were just the two of us together. And when we got out of the pool, I thought maybe this is the last time we're swimming together, which was really an odd thought to have because he wasn't sick like he was well. He wasn't that old. He died at 70. That's not that old for someone like who was really top shape. He died suddenly at 70.

[00:36:42] So I was thinking, well, maybe he once he passed, like he knew that I had this thought and he came back in a dream and we had to swim together and it was lovely. But that dream wasn't a regular dream. Everything is more heightened, vivid. And there is this telepathic communication with the other person, which is lovely. Yeah. Yeah. So that's why I always remember about that dream that I had.

[00:37:10] Like, I don't know whether this is the same for you or for anybody else, but I mean, I say this, I don't really remember my dreams now, but from what dreams I do remember, like it always seems to be like a bit fuzzy. Like, best way I could describe it, like I say, if I was looking at a screen, like the outside of the screen is almost like, it's a bit cloudy.

[00:37:37] But that one that I had about my granddad, that was like as clear as day as if it was actually happening. And that's what's always, well, it's what I've always found weird about it as well. And it's just, yeah, I just, I just remember when I woke up, it was like, I look back at it now and it was, and it was like, it was almost like a nice moment because I'd like to think that maybe that was somehow my way of like seeing him one last time sort of thing.

[00:38:07] But when I first woke up at the time, I felt awful. It was really, it was, it was a horrible feeling. Yeah. Yeah. I like how you say though, that it was so real, like it wasn't blurry or cloudy or anything.

[00:38:23] Because when people have near death experiences, which are commonly known as NDEs, many of them say, wow, it's like when we are on earth in human form, it's like we're asleep, we're zombies. But once I passed away, I was this kind of, I had an expanded consciousness and I was really, really alive.

[00:38:49] And I feel that when we're having these dreams with them, they're bringing that aliveness and everything is so vivid. And they're like, this is not a regular dream. You're going to remember this. Like we're really having a connection here. Yeah. Yeah. I think as well, the other thing that was weird that made it feel not like a normal dream was,

[00:39:15] because I mean, like I said, we've all had dreams where we've been running or trying to do something and like you can't do it. And, you know, like you can't feel things when you're in your dream. But I remember, like you say, in my dream when I ran up to him and I hugged him, I can still like now I can feel myself like squeezing him. Like to me, like I mean, I can't run anywhere, but yeah.

[00:39:39] In dreams and stuff like when you try and do something physical, like to me, I don't know, it just doesn't feel right. I don't know if that makes sense. Yeah, it does. It absolutely does. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. So you mentioned as well about a spirit that was trapped in a basement. Yes. In the house where I still live, I used to have a spirit in the basement.

[00:40:10] I remember I had a friend who came over and she just went for a quick visit and I showed her the house around and she didn't say anything on the moment, but she has, you know, good antennas. She's psychic. She just doesn't work as a psychic, but I know she's a psychic and she's good with houses. And a few days later, she's like, yeah.

[00:40:38] Do you want me to tell you about your house? I was like, yes, please tell me about the different rooms. And she said, everything is good, but there's something off about your guest room in the basement. But I cannot really tell you what it is. I've been there briefly, but that room is off. I was like, oh, OK, maybe it's just because we haven't really used that room yet. It's not really settled. And I'm like, oh, OK.

[00:41:07] I completely forgot about that. And then we had our nephews visiting from France and they were in the guest bedroom. And it was the two of them until the oldest one had to go back to France for studies and the youngest one would stay alone for a few more days.

[00:41:28] Once the youngest was alone, he told me after his first night alone, this is really weird, but I kind of hear an old woman breathing. And I was like, oh, no. Oh, no. I've heard that this room is off and now he's telling me about a woman breathing. I don't want to scare him.

[00:41:50] So I'm telling him, oh, no, it's just, you know, the bathroom is just beside that wall and the toilet is messing up and doing some sounds, which was true. The toilet was really messing up. But I don't want him to be scared because he still had a few nights to sleep alone in that room in the basement. So this was it.

[00:42:13] And after that, once my radio clock started playing music in that room and I thought it was weird because the radio clock was not plugged. So I was like, oh, this is really spooky. I went down the basement to check. It wasn't plugged. And I was like, oh, OK, I'm just pushing on all the buttons so it stopped. I just smashed the bases.

[00:42:42] I wasn't working as a psychic yet when that happened. So I was scared and I didn't want to investigate further. Nothing much was happening in the house. But at night, my cat would kept staring down the stairs and I could hear some, you know, creak in the stairs like the stairs were making a bit of noises.

[00:43:10] So we were watching the TV and looking at the cat who was like always looking down the stairs. And then I became a psychic. I was always psychic, but I started working as a psychic and opening up my psychic senses.

[00:43:26] And in the middle of my sleep, I started having those really spooky experiences where a spirit would come, take my energy and like kind of bring my energy out of myself. And the more if I was able to stop it early, nothing was happening. But if I wasn't able to start it early, it would take my energy and try to bring it down the stairs.

[00:43:55] And it was quite, quite quick. Like I'm taking your energy and come down the stairs. And I was like, ah, I would scream, try to wake myself up and, you know, making sounds so that my husband would wake myself up and then my energy would go back in my body. And we had house problems with the pipes and all of this.

[00:44:22] And so at some point I was like, there's something with that spirit in the guest room. The guest room is where there's a connection with, you know, the waterworks from the city and all of that. So I decide that I'm doing a house cleanse and I'm getting rid of that spirit because by that time I knew about how to get rid of a spirit.

[00:44:46] But I'm really nervous and I'm really scared, even though I now work as a psychic, I still find these things spooky. So I start saging the house. I start upstairs and then I go downstairs and I sage like crazy in the guest room. And I heard that you need to tell the spirits that they are not welcome here and, you know, they need to get out. So I'm so scared that I'm like, you need to get out of here.

[00:45:14] This is how the scaredness gets out of me. And so I now I go from the guest room and up the stairs kind of wringing that spirit with me as I cleanse. And I was cleansing with sage. So there was a lot of smoke and there is a smoke detector next to the main entrance of my house.

[00:45:40] And so I bring the spirit up and then I open the door and tell the spirit to get out. But my smoke alarm gets off as I open the door. And I'm that scared me so much that I closed the door really, really quickly.

[00:46:00] After that, my cat just sat down in front of the entrance and she stayed there for many, many hours. So I called my friend who's good with, you know, spirits and houses. The one who told me, you know what, your guest room, it's off. I called her and I was like, oh, my God, my God, the cat keeps staring at the entrance. The spirit is stuck in my entrance.

[00:46:29] I didn't get rid of the spirit. What should I do? And she just asked me, well, how does the spirit feel? I'm like, oh, it's a lady. And she's like, I screamed at her and she doesn't know what to do. I haven't truly integrated that before my friend asked me. Like I was too scared. But now that she asked me, like I could see that lady who was like, oh, my God, I'm getting screamed at. I don't know where to go. What is happening?

[00:46:58] So my friend told me, yeah, I think you need to do that cleansing with your own way of doing things and your own energies, because it's not really your type of thing to scream at people in real life. So just go with what you truly feel with what that lady needs. So I go back in the entrance. I don't think I even have sage. And I just say, hey, I'm sorry about earlier. I just want you to go back home.

[00:47:28] Because the spirit world, astral plane is what our souls call home. This is where we're from. And you don't have and I tell that lady, you don't have anything to fear. You have all your people waiting for you. And they've been waiting for a long time. And they are so excited for you to get back. So when I will open the door, you will see the bright white light and you're going to go up to it directly.

[00:47:55] And you will be home with a lot of people who love you and don't judge you. And I opened the door calmly. But that time I gave the spirit time to really get out of the house. And I felt some kind of... And then I closed the door and my cat just walked away. And that was it. Like the spirit isn't in my house anymore.

[00:48:22] And I'm really hoping that she got back to her people, her soul family. Hopefully, hopefully. Yeah. It is a strange... It is a strange feeling that, isn't it? When you can feel a presence but obviously you can't see anything. Yeah. I'm still getting used to that. It's so weird. Like my brother had the wildest experiences with spirits.

[00:48:52] One of them was when his father passed away. Because we don't have the same fathers. Yeah. And his father passed away a few years after mine passed away. So his father wasn't a very good man for the better part of his life. And he hasn't been a good father to my brother and my sister. Not a good husband to my mother either.

[00:49:18] And at some point, my brother is lying in bed on his side. And he's telling his spouse, My father is behind me. And he's weeping. He doesn't see his father, but he's like me. He sees through his third eyes like he's behind me. And he's just crying. And he's like, okay, that's weird. I don't know what to do with that.

[00:49:46] But when we die, like we have this heightened consciousness. So the father was aware of how bad he was. And he really regretted a lot of things. And that was it. And then later on, maybe the night after that, In the middle of the night, Because my brother and my sister-in-law, They wouldn't sleep a lot because of their work. So in the middle of the night,

[00:50:16] She gets up for, I don't know, some herbal tea. And my brother isn't sleeping either. And she's making some tea. And she's looking in the corridor. And all the lights are off. But she's seeing this shadow in the doorframe. And the shadow is, if you're looking at this in the video version, The shadow is like pushing out of the doorframe in a very awkward way. Like who would do that?

[00:50:45] And she's saying, Fred, is that you? Fred is my brother's name. And he's like, what? Are you in the doorframe? And my brother says, no, I'm lying in bed. What is going on? So my sister-in-law freaked out because she knew that Her father-in-law's spirit was in the house. My two nieces had seen him close to their beds at night.

[00:51:13] So it's like, oh, my God, now I don't want to get back in the room because he's in the doorframe. And a few days later, my brother is alone in the apartment. He's in the kitchen. It's all sunny. So it's during the day. He feels his father's presence again. And it clicks for him. And he says, oh, my God, Dad, remember Auntie? I don't know her name. Let's say it's Jeanette. Remember Auntie Jeanette?

[00:51:43] She's waiting for you up there. You need to go and find her. She's waiting for you. And my brother said he felt like a shrew. And he felt the energy being so much lighter in the room. And his father had really, truly crossed over to the spirit world, the astral plane. He went back to home to his spirit family. Fair enough, fair enough.

[00:52:10] Yeah, because I've had, not so much recently because of, well, reasons. I haven't been doing this. But before I used to be able to feel that my grandad was in my house. And the way I used to always describe it was, because it'd only be when there was either me in the house or me and my son. And my best way of describing it, it was like, I knew somebody else was in the house, but I didn't know where they were. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:52:40] Really weird feeling. We can ask, but oftentimes we feel weird asking. Like, even I, I would do kashic readings and talk to spirit guides. But because I'm in this frame of, oh, I'm doing a session, it feels very natural. But sometimes, now it's more like a regular thing, but sometimes just speaking out loud where you're not sure who it is.

[00:53:07] When it's my spirit guides and I have this regular contact, it's fine. But if you don't know who it is, it's like, hello, who is here? You feel completely ridiculous. Yeah. You know, I remember when it first started happening, obviously because I know a lot of mediums now through doing this. And I remember I was messaging one of them. And I've got a couple of bits of paranormal investigation equipment and stuff.

[00:53:34] And I decided, right, I'll use the cat balls. Yes. So I just got my son to sleep and then I'd gone back downstairs and I was like, I was like, there's still someone or something here or something. And like I said, I was messaging my friend and they were telling me that it was my granddad. And I was like, right, well, that's fine then. As long as I know who it is, I'm not bothered. Yeah, yeah. But, and then they were saying like, oh, talk to him.

[00:54:01] And I was like, I don't want to sit here and just like talk to myself out loud. I was like, no, because I feel like I'm a fucking idiot. I was like, can I just think it in my head? And they were like, yeah, yeah, of course you can. So I was like, all right. So I got the cat ball down and put it on, put it on the shelf underneath my TV. And I was just sat on the sofa. And I was like, I must have been sat there. I've actually got a video of it on my phone somewhere. And I must have been sat there for about five minutes just staring at it. And then I just thought, I thought in my head, like, granddad, if you're here, set that cat ball off.

[00:54:30] And before I'd even finished thinking the full sentence, it just started flashing. I love that. Oh, that is so nice. I had something similar with my father. I have a peer who does mediumship sessions. And I had a mediumship session with her. And it was great.

[00:54:52] And at the last minute, when it was about to be over, she said, oh, your father is really pushing me to say this. That seems really, really weird. But he keeps, like, showing me his hair and, like, showing me, like, he's combing his hair. Like, he's really clean cut. And I was like, oh, my God, my father used to be a barber. But then he started really early on having white hair and losing his hair. And he didn't like that at all.

[00:55:22] So it always needed, like, just so that we wouldn't see that he was starting to lose his hair. He would separate it in a way that it was not showing the kind of bald spots. And he wouldn't put his head in the water. And she was saying, yeah, and he's going to send you a sign through cardinals. And I was like, oh, okay. But where I live in the suburbs, we have a lot of cardinals. So it's kind of easy to see them.

[00:55:50] And I was thinking, how am I going to know that that's a true sign? And we have a nightlight in our upstairs bathroom that has been there for years. I don't even look at it anymore. And the nightlight started flashing, flickering at some point. And I would just, you know, it's flickering. I don't mind.

[00:56:16] And at some point, my daughter said, Mom, the nightlight keeps flickering. And it's driving me crazy. Are you going to do something about it? I'm like, yeah, sure. And I take the nightlight. I look at it. And there's a cardinal on it. And I look at the bulb. And the bulb is perfectly fine. So I say, hey, Dad. Then plug it back in. Stops flickering.

[00:56:43] Nightlight works great for, you know, I don't know, many months after that. So a thing that happens often is that our past loved ones really want us to acknowledge that they are there. It's important for them. Because if we don't, then they don't know. So I said, hi, Dad. And it stopped. So that was my sign with the lights flickering.

[00:57:08] Yeah, I mean, that was the first time I experienced anything like that. And that was like almost the last little bit of evidence that I needed just to tip me back over that edge just a little bit more. I just remember, as soon as I saw it flashed, I was just sat on the sofa and I just went like, shit. Now I want to try it because I have lots of cat balls here. So I should try it with a spirit.

[00:57:40] So they're my favorite thing to use. Yeah. I like them and they're good. Yeah. Oh, that's so exciting. I have another last story about a lamp. And it happened to me like two months ago. It's really recent. So one day I'm talking to my spirit guides, you know, after a quick session with them.

[00:58:06] And I say, hey, by the way, I would like to get more vivid experiences with you guys. Like some people have visitations. Like I once heard my teacher guide speak to me. I heard her with my physical ears and it woke me up. And I was like, I would like to have some kind of other experiences like seeing, hearing or having an astral travel.

[00:58:32] Like show me that you're really here in a way that's more like on my earth plane. And then that was during the day. I completely forget about it. I go to bed. In the middle of the night, my husband wakes me up and he's like, your light is turned on. I have a touch lamp. So my first reflex is to check on my cat because it could happen with her nose or a little pause that she turns it on.

[00:59:02] But my cat is fast asleep in the opposite corner of the room. And by looking at her, she's like, what's going on? I'm like, OK, she couldn't have been there just a few seconds ago. And it's so bright. Like there are three levels and it's on the brightest level. So my cat would have needed to go like one, two, three with her little nose. So that's unlikely. And I'm like, oh, what's going on?

[00:59:29] And because I believe in spirits, obviously I'm like, oh, maybe a spirit in my room. So I just, you know, with my hand, I'm like, oh, I'm going to turn it off. And as I turn it off, kind of something tells me, look at it. So I look at it and it turns on by itself. I'm like, oh, my husband's like, what is going on? And so I'm like, oh, I don't like this.

[00:59:57] And my husband is like, well, talk to them. You're the one who talks to spirit. I'm like, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. So I say, oh, please don't do this. It gets me so scared. And it stops, you know, I turn it off and it stops after I ask, please stop this. And the day after, when I'm not scared anymore, it's like it's sunny, it's daytime. I asked my spirit guides what happened. And they said, be careful what you wish for.

[01:00:25] And their message was like, you're really good communicating with us. Like I can channel messages for people about what is aligned for them, their life mission, you know, tips for them to move forward in their lives. But I'm the kind of person who gets really spooked out. And they were like, this is why we are not giving you these kind of experiences. Sometimes once in a while you are going to get validation. But be careful what you wish for.

[01:00:53] This is not the kind of experience you really want. And they showed me, they basically told me, don't compare yourself to others. Like every psychic or medium has their type of connection. So don't compare yourself to others. You don't need to have those kind of experiences to be a good psychic. And it made sense that it was them because even though I was scared, I could feel nothing was malevolent in my room. Like everything was good energy.

[01:01:23] So that was the last bit of experience I had lately. Fair enough. Fair enough. I'll tell you one last quick one because I've started to realise that I tell the same stories too often. And listeners are probably going to get sick of hearing them, but they're funny and they're cool. So again, about my granddad. So I think it was, I think it was the same week as the, as with the cat ball thing. So my wife was at work.

[01:01:52] She was, she was on night shift. So I was, it was just me and my son, I was baffing him. And he, he knows who my granddad is. He's only 18 months old, but he knows who he is. Because he saw pictures or he saw him? Well, both. Because when he sees pictures of him, he points at it and does like this, this with his hand. I almost like waves at him. Oh.

[01:02:14] And so when I was baffing him one night, so like from, from when he sat in the bath, if he turns around, he can look straight into his bedroom. Okay. So I was baffing him and then he turns around and he's just, he's looking into his bedroom and he starts laughing and then he starts doing that with his hand again. Oh. So, but then, and then that, that's when I was like, that's when I got that feeling of like, right, there's somebody else in the house, but I don't know where the hell they are. So I was like, what the hell? So, and like I said, I've got, got a few friends out who made him and stuff.

[01:02:44] So I was like, I'm going to take a video off and I'm going to send it to them and see if they can like pick up on anything over a video. I was like, I don't even know if that's possible, but okay, it's worth a try. So I just start recording him and he's just, he's just there doing his thing. And then I turned the phone around and I'm pointing towards his bedroom. Absolutely fine. And then I sent it to a few people that I know. Then the first one replied back saying like, war glitchy or something.

[01:03:14] And I was like, what are you doing about? So then I watched the video back and as I turned my phone to point it at his bedroom door, the screen just turns bright green. Oh my God. Wow. I've got hundreds of videos on my phone. That's never happened once. Yeah. Yeah. Right. Wow. And how old is your son now? He's 88 months now. Oh, he's 88. Okay.

[01:03:40] Later when, well, maybe in six months, like when he will be able to speak a little bit more. You can ask him if he remembers who he was before. Because a lot of kids before four or five years old, they are able to remember. Some kids say like, oh, hey, I remember I used to be your dad and you were my son.

[01:04:06] And before we came here, we decided that we would switch roles this time. Fair enough. It's fascinating. So your son could tell you about his past life or how you were related before. I mean, I'm pretty sure that the way he acts and the way he devours bananas, I'm pretty sure he was some sort of chimp or something. Yeah. Who knows? Who knows?

[01:04:37] So before we finish, so I just wanted, I wanted to just ask. So when you're, I don't even know how to describe it. So when, when, when somebody comes to you and they want help, what is like, so let's just, let's use me as an example. So if I come to you, I want to help. So what's the sort of process then that you go through? When I do the reading? Yeah.

[01:05:04] I do either a tarot readings or Akashic readings, but I would say 90% of my clients want the Akashic readings because this is where it's more, it's deeper when we do Akashic readings. So it's like, why am I here on this earth? You know, what are my life missions? Am I supposed to be with my spouse? What are we trying to heal together? And all of this. So people ask for Akashic readings.

[01:05:32] And when I do a reading, I connect to the energy of the person I am reading for. And I connect to my spirit team for help with like kind of translating the message. And then I connect to their spirit team, their spirit guides, because they have all the information about that person. And I open their Akashic records. So I use an Akashic prayer.

[01:06:01] So I raise my vibrations, connect to their Akashic records. And once the records are open, I just ask questions. I'm very casual in the way that I channel. The way I speak to you right now is the way I speak to the spirit guides, even if I'm getting like an ascended master, like Buddha who comes up. But usually it's more like spirit guides who are talking as a group.

[01:06:28] Sometimes a guide will ask if they can come and speak through me. So that can happen as well. But I always have like that control of saying yes or no. But it's always good energy. And I'm like, yeah. And this is so fun because each spirit guide has their different personalities. And sometimes it's like I'm having this woman who's like, oh, yeah. And you know this and that.

[01:06:57] And she's talking really, really fast. And sometimes I get a man who's like, OK, so today I want to explain this to you. So it's really fun to like I used to do theater when I was a teenager. And I like feeling different personalities. But now it's like a spirit guide ask and I'm like and I say yes. And I can like they speak through me and I feel their lovely energies. And it's really fun.

[01:07:25] So, yeah, I channel the messages. I usually go and ask like questions like that. I know my clients will have follow up questions like so. I ask a lot of questions to my spirit guides just like, OK, but can you make this really clear for us? Are there any steps? Can you give us concrete tools?

[01:07:52] Because spirit guides haven't incarnated on Earth for a very long time. So they sometimes need to be reminded that for us it needs to be clear and obvious what the message is. And then, yeah, that's how I work. Fair enough, fair enough, fair enough. Now, I like it. It's cool.

[01:08:12] And like when I was in my skeptical phase, psychics and medium stuff, I was. A bit like how you said before, I was like, I don't want to use the word against because it's that sounds, that almost sounds a bit harsh. But do you know what I mean? I used to think that a lot of them were just like, you know, bullshit sort of thing.

[01:08:42] And there are bullshitters. Oh, yeah, there definitely is. But I've learned that there's definitely some that aren't because I've been told stuff that, you know, nobody should be able to tell me. Right, right. Which is also a very weird, weird feeling. I know. I know. Yeah, there's both the people who are like, wow, you're amazing. How can you get this information?

[01:09:08] And there are bullshitters that were like, oh, no, you feel uneasy and you're like, you're not legit. And I actually did a whole episode on psychic scammers. It was really funny. I found some old ads of psychics. Yeah. And I went through them and I did explain like, oh, what are their techniques and all of that. But just reading old ads from psychics, it's so from fake psychics. It was so, so funny. Yeah.

[01:09:37] Right then, Melly. Well, I've really enjoyed this. Yeah, me too. Thank you for joining me. It's been an absolute pleasure. So just before we go, do you want to let my listeners know where they can find you? Yeah, really simple. They can find me at MellyGuidance.com. I'm also on Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. My handle is Melly Guidance. And they can also listen to the Mystical and Practical podcast. Happy days.

[01:10:07] Happy days. So, guys, go and do that. As always, go and follow our Instagram page. If you don't, at the Spooky Shed podcast. Link in the bio there for all of your socials. Still don't use, but they're there anyway. And yeah, we shall speak to you next time. The Spooky Shed podcast is a Podshed production.
