The Spiritual Bond Between Humans & Animals: Exploring Mediumship with Jaime Breeze 43:26

год назад43:26

43:26

In this episode of Spiritual Spiral , I had the pleasure of speaking with Jaime Breeze, a talented psychic, medium, and pet communicator. From the moment we began our conversation, Jamie's warmth and openness set the tone for an enlightening discussion about her incredible journey into the spiritual realm. Jaime shared her unique story, revealing that her connection to the spirit world began at a very young age. She recounted how, as a child, she would openly communicate with spirits, angels, and even animals, thanks to the unwavering support of her family. Unlike many who might have faced skepticism or discouragement, Jaime's parents encouraged her gifts, allowing her to explore her intuitive abilities without fear. As we delved deeper into her experiences, Jamie recounted a pivotal moment in her life involving her beloved dog, Breeze. After adopting Breeze, Jaime discovered that their bond transcended this lifetime, as Breeze was her horse in a past life. The profound grief Jaime felt when Breeze passed away on her 16th birthday led her on a transformative journey of healing and self-discovery. Determined to reconnect with her soulmate, Jaime embarked on a quest to facilitate Breeze's reincarnation, which ultimately led her to a new puppy named Zoe, who she later renamed Breeze. Throughout our conversation, Jaime emphasized the importance of recognizing and honoring the grief associated with losing a pet, as well as the significance of animal communication and mediumship. She passionately advocated for the need to validate the deep emotional connections we share with our animals, highlighting that they are often our greatest companions and sources of unconditional love. We also explored the differences between communicating with animals and humans on the other side. Jaime explained that while both experiences are similar, animals tend to have a more straightforward and pure connection, free from the fears and barriers that humans often carry. As the episode progressed, we touched on the concept of heaven and how it varies for each individual based on their beliefs and experiences. Jamie shared a touching story about a recent experience with her grandmother, who, despite her initial skepticism about Jamie's work, has become a supportive presence from the other side. Towards the end of our conversation, Jaime opened up about the challenges she faced during a devastating wildfire that impacted her community. Despite the trauma and loss, she emphasized the importance of maintaining faith and connection to the spiritual realm, which has been a source of strength for her during difficult times. Listeners will find this episode not only insightful but also deeply moving, as Jaime's journey illustrates the power of love, connection, and the enduring bonds we share with our pets and loved ones. Be sure to check out Jamie's website, jamiebrees.com, for more information on her services and to read Breeze's reincarnation story. You can also follow her on social media platforms to stay updated on her work and upcoming projects.

In this episode of Spiritual Spiral , I am thrilled to welcome our first-ever guest, Alexander Mei, a talented psychic medium, healer, and Reiki practitioner. As we record on Halloween, a day rich with spiritual significance, we dive deep into Alexander's fascinating origin story and the journey that led him to embrace his gifts. Alexander shares how his spiritual path began at a young age, sparked by a chance encounter with a mysterious book in his elementary school library. This pivotal moment marked the beginning of his exploration into tarot, witchcraft, and various healing modalities. He recounts his early experiences, including a remarkable incident where he performed an exorcism on a haunted painting, which solidified his calling as a healer. As we discuss his journey, Alexander opens up about the challenges he faced in his twenties, including the struggle to balance his spiritual work with a lifestyle of partying. He reflects on the importance of grounding oneself and the impact of emotional and generational trauma on our spiritual paths. We touch on the concept of "generational demons" and how they can manifest as inherited trauma, affecting our lives and relationships. A significant part of our conversation revolves around the idea of spiritual narcissism and the dangers of performative spirituality, especially in places like Los Angeles. Alexander emphasizes the importance of genuine self-reflection and the need to confront our shadows rather than bypass them. We explore the complexities of relationships, particularly how unhealed individuals can attract one another, leading to cycles of codependency and emotional turmoil. In a heartfelt moment, Alexander shares his personal journey of embracing his two-spirited nature, discussing the intersection of gender identity and spirituality. He highlights the importance of recognizing and honoring the duality within ourselves, drawing parallels to goddess energy and the balance of masculine and feminine forces. As we wrap up the episode, Alexander offers to guide me through a session of Dragon Vein Meditation (DVM), a technique he developed to help balance energy and promote healing. This segment serves as a beautiful reminder of the importance of self-care and the need to nurture our own well-being as we support others on their spiritual journeys. Join us for this enlightening conversation filled with insights, personal stories, and practical tips for navigating the complexities of spirituality in today's world.

After a long hiatus, this interview marks the beginning of many exciting conversations to come. Lauryn shares her unique origin story, highlighting how she transitioned from a typical childhood and a career in video production to discovering her psychic abilities through a course called the Aspen Program for Psychic Development.

As we explore her work as both a medium and an animal communicator, Lauryn shares fascinating insights into how animals communicate and the wisdom they impart. We also touch on the importance of setting boundaries when working with spirit and the need for self-care, especially after intense experiences. Throughout our conversation, we discuss the significance of trusting one's intuition, the challenges of distinguishing between true psychic information and intrusive thoughts, and the role of spirit guides in our lives.

TW: Suicide, Cancer On this episode of Spiritual Spiral I had a fascinating conversation with psychic medium, Dee Steele, of Waning Moon Readings. As most of my listeners know, my boyfriend Chris was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer at the young age of 34 this past September. We had just moved in together to a new state, and before making the decision to move with him, I had several readings with psychic mediums that I trust, and still do. After Chris' diagnosis, of course my mind began to spiral, did these readers know? What did they see? Did they not see anything? My very sweet and talented friend Dee offered to come on the show to have a conversation with me about what readers really see and what they don't. We also discuss: The difference between anxiety and intuition. How you future can change and be subjective. The ethics behind psychic readings. A recent (very disappointing) experience I had with a famous psychic medium. Medical mediumship. The boundaries of being a psychic medium. Knowing when you are going to die. Premonitions.
