    Interview with Chuck Bergman 2022!
    Oct 30 2022
    https://chuckbergman.com/ In October 2021, I did an interview with my good friend and world-renowned psychic Chuck Bergman. The reviews are in, and you loved the episode! So I brought Chuck back for another interview about the spirit realm just in time for Halloween 2022. If you missed the last interview, or are not familiar with Chuck, let me introduce him. Chuck was born in Jacksonville Florida and is a third-generation psychic medium, following his mother and grandmother. He realized his gifts at an early age, but kept it under wraps for years. Chuck went on to serve in the United States Navy for 4 years overseas and during the Vietnam War where he was assigned to Special Ops and Radar Operations on aircraft carriers Shangri-La and John F. Kennedy. After the military he served 32 years as a motorcycle officer, patrol officer, computer and media specialist, and accident reconstructionist in Salem, Massachusetts. Since retirement and going public as a psychic medium, the A&E Channel and The Biography Channel have featured Chuck on his own pilot program Psychic Search. Chuck has also been a repeat guest on many live radio shows, including Coast to Coast AM, where Chuck and I met and began our friendship over 10 years ago. In addition to regularly holding sessions and giving readings as a medium, Chuck has helped numerous police departments around the world locate missing persons, solve murder cases, and assist several law enforcement agencies across the country and internationally with on-going investigations. He regularly holds group and private sessions in Middleburg, Florida, and does phone readings with clients worldwide via Skype. Chuck is passionate about educating people on the concept of life continuing after so-called death. He has also completed classes in meditation techniques, psychic mediumship, advanced mediumship, and Reiki. James Van Praagh, the world-renowned psychic medium, teacher, and co-producer of the CBS drama The Ghost Whisperer, highly recommends Chuck for psychic mediumship readings and lists Chuck on his website. Chuck co-authored the book The Everything Guide to Evidence of an Afterlife (published in 2011) and wrote his autobiography Psychic Cop published in 2012. Chuck and I did an episode on this show in October 2021, and talked about various topics such as What is life like for you now being a liaison between us and the spirit world? How did you know you were connecting with spirits and not going crazy? Can you describe what it’s like when you are in the moment connecting with someone on the other side? Why do you think some people can see spirits and others can’t? How do we tell when a spirit is communicating with us? Why do spirits talk in clues or hints and why do they have limited time to talk to us? And more. Without further ado, let’s welcome, Chuck Bergman. Questions for our interview 😊 Tell us about yourself and your background, your time as a cop, and how you transitioned into a psychicWhat are some similarities between being a cop and being a psychic?Would you get premonitions about the event you were going to before you went there? Would the spirit talk to you about their murder before you got to the crime scene?How has your communication with the spirit world improved over the years?A lot of people have had spiritual experiences where they have seen, felt, or heard a loved one who has passed on. How do they know what they went through is real?Does any pain a person went through in physical life automatically disappear when they enter the spirit world? When we say, “may they rest in peace,” or, “they are not suffering anymore,” is there any truth to this?Has a spirit told you a purpose for the pain they went through on Earth? For example, have they said they had cancer because it was a part of their karma?When someone dies, do they know they are dead, or do they need help from other spirits to tell them they have passed on?What are some things we can all do to help us clear out our mental clutter to be able to communicate with our loved ones on the other side?What are some things spirits have told you that they wish they did while they were alive? Did they wish they loved more, spent time with their family more, or gave to others more?If we all go to the afterlife, is there really a reason to fear death?There is a lot going on right now. Do you find that spirits have a message of hope for the world?Why are our loved ones involved with some of our activities and not involved with others?Do you ever talk to someone on the other side and get a bad feeling, like they are a bad spirit?Are ghosts trapped between the physical world and the afterlife or are they in the afterlife and are able to transition to a visual form in the physical world?Why do you think it’s hard for people to believe in ghosts, but it’s easy for them to believe in the afterlife? When does the soul leave the body when dying?How can you tell ...

    Chicken Mind Nuggets. Hosted by Wifey Chickenmindnuggets.com chickenmindnuggets@gmail.com @mindchicken References for this episode (none, these are my own experiences) Introduction music graciously provided by Music from https://filmmusic.io "Thinking Music" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Show script: (may differ slightly from spoken word) This episode is inspired by Timber Hawkeye’s episode Neurodivergence. Timber explained how his mind works, and how he processes information and relates to the world. As I was listening to it, I realized I never shared my processes with you. I have explained some processes that I work with daily, but never how it all comes together and how I see the world. I would like to explain that to you, and maybe someone out there can relate to one, or more of what I am about to explain. As some of you know, I have narcissistic abuse syndrome. I was gaslighted, and victim-blamed by my parents and grandparents for my entire life. This has led me to doubt and question almost everything because nothing has felt stable. I still have a hard time knowing what is real. When I thought I felt a certain way, I was told that’s not how I feel. This is damaging to a kid growing up, and as an adult, I still question how I feel. I have a hard time knowing how to put my words to my feelings. Am I happy? Am I excited? Am I angry? What are the factors that constructed these feelings, and are they true? The fact that I can’t fully answer these questions has led me to know that I am feeling “happy” or “sad” or “mad” by believing that the majority of that feeling exists within me. Let me explain. If I say I am feeling happy, I may be about 80% sure that I am feeling happy. The 20% is uncertainty, doubt, a healthy caution that events could change at any minute, and a decent amount of skepticism about what happy really means. The same goes for anger, frustration, sadness, grief, or any emotion. When I look back on how I felt about different situations, my flashbacks will give me one feeling, while the analysis of the situation will give me another. I may have a shame wave where a flashback will come into play and the initial shame, guilt, and fear may be met with numbness, curiosity, and exploration. Does that make sense? I extensively process what people say. I fine-tooth comb it to hear if there is a hidden meaning. If a friend tells me about their difficult day at work, I will notice patterns in how they have talked about this before. I might hear that they have a repeated word, phrase, or situation, then analyze all the parts that encompass that. From there, I will put together a picture that my friend hates their job because of their constant discomfort in working with difficult people, or maybe they hate it because the people they work with are never respectful. My mind will go deeper by breaking apart the conversation into money, time, friendships, workload, compensation, etc. Sometimes I feel like I am working their job, and I am trying to separate each piece to make a decision if the job is worth it or not. I do this in almost every situation. Breaking down every element, until I get a reasonable percentage of each factor, then I study, analyze, and provide multiple conclusions on the situation based on my analysis. Here’s how it works. A friend asks, “Would you like to go to the Renaissance Fair?” I do the following. I think about crowds, the crowds then turn into multiple, slow-walking, disrespectful, loud, messy, wrong costume-wearing people. This then breaks down to: how long will I be able to stand walking in a crowded space? Will I run into anyone I know there? If I go to one of the shows, how long before people surround me and I feel trapped? Then we break down crowds into traffic. The traffic going there, walking through the fair, going home, and in the parking lot. There is also the food element. How long will the lines be? Can I be respectful and keep my mouth shut while waiting in line for a bottle of water when the people around me are throwing their trash on the ground? What about the people who get to the counter and don’t know what they want? Now we move on to the day itself. I will have to wake up early, which means rushing, and I am bad at that in the morning. What if I forget to lock a door? If this sounds very Sheldon Cooper-y, I don’t disagree with you. I think you get it. Some of you would call it overanalyzing, overthinking, or being too anal. Remember that I grew up not knowing what reality is, so the only thing predictable was the unpredictable, and how my parents would turn on a dime. Asking questions and getting answers is a form of comfort, of inner control of my world and feelings, and a way for me to know if the situation I am walking into is dangerous or safe. I ...

    Chicken Mind Nuggets. Hosted by Wifey Chickenmindnuggets.com chickenmindnuggets@gmail.com @mindchicken References for this episode Introduction music graciously provided by Music from https://filmmusic.io "Thinking Music" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Show script: (may differ slightly from spoken word) It was back in 2008 I had just joined the military and I was clueless about what military life was like. I got on the plane from the Great Lakes recruiting center (lovingly named Great Mistakes) and headed to San Diego for Sonar training. I was slated to be there for about 9 months so I could complete basic A school before I got sent off to a ship. At that point, I have never been to San Diego, and it was one of the reasons I chose orders to be a Sonar Tech. I arrived in San Diego, looking like shit. Let me describe this to you. Before I joined the military, I had a pixie cut. I was a little overweight, and I let myself go a little bit. When I joined the military, my hair was out of regs, so I had to let it grow out into regs. The problem was I couldn’t cut it, because that would be out of regs again, and my command said I could go to captain’s mast. I had to grow out my pixie cut in all the awkward stages of its horrible glory without any maintenance, which left me with a rat’s tail and awkward growth all over my head. On top of that, the Navy had the utilities, which consisted of a baggy blue shirt and high-waisted dark blue pants which gave everyone a fupa. It was not my best look. I started smoking again because everyone did and it was a way to escape the long hours of sonar training while getting to know people. When I was in the Navy, you didn’t get a break unless you smoked, which is what I learned early on in A school before even heading to a ship. You also got to meet new people because they would come by and hang out at the smoke deck to catch the roach coach or sit at the picnic-style tables that were nearby. There weren’t many women in A school, and I didn’t care for many of them because I got along better with men. I tried to be friends with some of the women, but I never felt 100% comfortable. Luckily, that was about to change. In comes Boiled. OK, her name isn’t really Boiled, but I’ll get to that in a minute. We hit it off instantly. If you were to meet us at face value, you wouldn’t think that we would belong together. I smoked, drank heavily, hung around with fun, but awful people, and was making some pretty bad decisions. Boiled was (and is) beautiful, didn’t smoke, didn’t drink much, and is a preacher’s daughter. Lifestyle-wise, we were the opposite, but we became friends with a bond that didn’t break even after a 12-year separation. Remember I said her name wasn’t Boiled? It’s not, it’s Boyle. In the military we go by our last names. She started hanging out with me, and that meant going to the bar. A lot. And going to Ocean Beach. And sometimes the two were combined and sometimes we tried to get to Ocean Beach from the bar at Point Loma, but we were too drunk so we offered strangers $5.00 to let us ride in the boat they were towing so we could get to Ocean Beach. Sometimes we stayed at the bar, because it was male stripper night, and when it is male stripper night, you don’t party lightly. Boiled had never experienced male strippers before, but it was not my first rodeo. I put $100.00 on top of the bar and told the bar tender, whatever she wants, she gets. We put dollars in strippers’ underwear, and the look on her face as crotch was dancing from the left side to the right side of her head, was epic. To say it was a bonding moment, would be an understatement. She asked me what an orgasm felt like, and I don’t remember this, but she told me I described it to her. We did a lot of late night, hard partying, drunken sailor shenanigans for months. We even went to Ocean Beach and got tattoo’s. Boiled got one, then another, then another. I got my chest tattooed, and Boiled got another. Boiled even got a boyfriend! We suffered through PT together after being freshly tatted, we suffered through mandatory study hall time because the class wasn’t getting good grades, we suffered through weekly Friday night lectures about not going to Tijuana, we suffered through command uniform inspections and impossible shoe shines unless you had Vaseline, we suffered through the unspeakable drama of a building filled with women sharing rooms and bathrooms with showers that had no barriers. But we also suffered through beautiful west coast sunsets, amazing food, lots of laughter, first time experiences, hanging out at lib hall, and becoming amazing friends. So after being indoctrinated into the world of drunken sailor shenanigans in San Diego for over 8 months, Boyle, became Boiled. And I became Tanked. ...

    Chicken Mind Nuggets. Hosted by Wifey Chickenmindnuggets.com chickenmindnuggets@gmail.com @mindchicken References for this episode Introduction music graciously provided by Music from https://filmmusic.io "Thinking Music" by Kevin MacLeod (https://incompetech.com) License: CC BY (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/) Show script: (may differ slightly from spoken word) Hello Everyone! I’m sorry for my long absence. It has been a while since I felt motivated to do some podcasting, and it’s not because of my podcast, it’s because I have been dealing with a heavyweight from work. There is a continuous situation where I am being targeted for following the rule book, and I’m being targeted because it makes the people who are not doing what they are supposed to, look bad. This has led to coming into work every day, being uncomfortable, being belittled, and having my senior techs continuously talk down to me. I’m not someone who gets angry, so I have calmly approached them and tried to have a level conversation about procedures. This approach has not met with a welcome dialogue, instead, it has met with dismissal of my work ethic, and I had a breaking point. I am on a mental health break from work and I am actively looking for a new job. I have been with this company for 10 years, and it is time for me to look for new paths. I hope you didn’t feel like I let you down, I never left podcasting, I just needed a break from the everyday stress that I was bringing home. This mental health break has helped me to re-balance and be the person I want to be to the world. So with that said, Chicken Mind Nuggets is back on its normal schedule, and to start, I would like to share a hilarious true story that I’m sure you’ll love. I was going through a dry spell and haven’t had sex in a while. My future husband was still in Virginia and I was in Arizona working and building my tiny house. During this dry spell, I didn’t shave, because I didn’t feel like I needed to. It was just me and my own company, so what did it matter if the hedges were overgrowing a little bit? My ancestry is Eastern European, British, and Indian. I have red/brown hair, but very dark and thick body hair. I got laser hair removal on parts of my body including my bikini line, but at the dry spell point of my life, I was out-grown and in my full glory. Now, at this time when I was building tiny house, there were not a lot of resources or help when it came to equipment, appliances, techniques, or really anything. Tiny houses were a new thing, and no one really new how to cater to the market for them yet. There was wood, and there were windows, portable AC’s, and spray foam, but how do you customize it and put it all together to meet a very different set of dimensions? It was not easy. And for the life of me, I could not find a kitchen sink. So I came up with an idea in my brilliant mind to look for a heavy duty planter that I can drill a hole in and make it work. Maybe there will be something better in the future if tiny houses become popular (little did I know), but if not, fuck it, I’ll wash my dishes in a pot. So I decide to put on some clothes and head to the Home Depot. Now, when you are a woman looking at electrical, plumbing, and construction at Home Depot, it can catch people off guard. I wish it didn’t, believe me, one of the frustrating parts about building my house was constantly being talked down to by men who thought what I was doing was “cute.” Growing up with narcissistic parents, I really felt irked when someone invalidated my dream home. So I go to the Home Depot on my scooter because I didn’t have my truck at the time, and I go looking for a sink. There was a really nice older gentleman who came up to me and was trying to be helpful. Then there was another one, and another one. Too many older gentlemen being very nice….my spidey senses were up. I felt weird about being there, but played nice and thanked them for their help and I left with a planter than I tied to my scooter and made it back to my apartment. And that’s when I realized the reason for their niceness. Remember I told you I didn’t shave? Well what I didn’t tell you is I didn’t wear underwear either. I went without underwear for a couple of years, and I didn’t care if I put on a pair of jeans and my giblets had the close company of some think denim. Fuck, it was freeing, no undies. But that day, I go to take off my jeans and I realize that my full bush is hanging out of my zipper that I forgot to zip up. I mean, full bush. I should have went to the garden department and asked for hedge trimmers. This bitch was out and making a statement, my bush wanted everyone to know that this cookie has not seen action and this is the consequence of not maintaining the store even though it is closed. Sooooo………I was ashamed lol. I was embarrassed, humiliated...

I didn’t have a lot of work experience, but I had restaurant experience and I really believed in the message this restaurant was portraying. The owner, Clare, seemed wholesome and did a lot for the community. Her food was authentic and went far beyond the frozen vegan burgers you get at the supermarket, and went deep into the realm of, “is this REALLY vegan carrot cake?” Her food was expensive, at the time it was $8.00 for a burger, which was a lot for me who was a broke and broken 20-something year old trying to make it in an expensive East Coast city. Unless you had the funds to move out of there, you were stuck being broke because the jobs didn’t pay well, the taxes were high, and the cost of living was high which meant you were often working 2 or 3 jobs just to live. I put together a fancy resume, which for me was fancy because it portrayed who I was and where I worked, which didn’t consist of much, but I put my best foot forward. I heard Clare was hard to work for, but I really wanted her to know I was worth a shot, that I was worth a chance. There wasn’t anyone else at the time who thought I was worth a dam, so it was up to me to convince strangers that I was worth a dam. I went into the restaurant and asked if Clare was there. Her employee said yes, I will get her, she’s in the back. I’m excited, this restaurant is known around the metropolitan area for their food, awards, and supporting local farmers. I might have a chance to work here and thrive. Clare comes out, “can I help you?” She said with a “you’re bothering me” type of look. I said hello, I introduced myself, and I said I am interested in working for you. I handed her my resume. She said, “it says here you worked at so and so for 6 months?” I said yes, which was met with a “what are you doing here” look. To clarify, this so and so job was a demeaning retail job that I only quit because I found a better job at a library. I gave my proper 2 weeks-notice and didn’t leave on bad terms. Clare was tall, I am 5’3. She towered over me and looked down at me and my resume and looked back a me again. She said, “thank you,” turned around, and threw my resume in the trashcan behind her counter. I was devastated. She didn’t even give me a chance. She decided that the person on the paper was not worth her time, and the 3-minute interaction we had was all she needed to determine if I am worth paying. It hurt. It hurt badly because it was another person who said I am not worth a dam, and threw me out in front the whole restaurant. You know what I did? I ordered a burger. I went into the park across the street, and ate it. It is possible she was having a bad day, and I caught her at the worst time. I could have caught her on a good day, and this is how she interacts with people, I heard she is hard to work for, so maybe this is what other people went through. Either way, I was thrown out, into the rubbish. Dismissed. It took me a long time to process the thought that I AM worth looking at and giving a chance to. Sometimes I still don’t think I am worth a dam, but I do know I am not worth throwing in the garbage. We sometimes treat ourselves like someone who throws us out because we feel we deserve punishment for out actions. We did something terrible; how could we forgive ourselves? It was so out of character, out of place, how in the world can I ever get over this? Just letting it go doesn’t work because it haunts, the monster comes back to eat more happy moments and shits out depression. I am bad, I am shameful, I am full of horrible, I have done terrible things and this is my definition and the definition from others. I get it my friend. This is a hard situation to get out of. May I ask you a question? If you were the only person on Earth, who’s opinion of you would matter? It would only be yours, because you are the only person on Earth, right? Now, what if there are 2 people on Earth, who’s opinion of you would matter? Well maybe you want to consider the feedback from the other person, but just because someone else showed up on the planet doesn’t take the power of your self-talk away. You can’t hate yourself into being better. The disgust you have with yourself, the drive that you feel to get rid of these thoughts, can be good motivation to do something totally opposite of what you have done. Maybe you did drugs, and you hurt ...

    Show script: (may differ slightly from spoken word)

    Chicken Little Syndrome is characterized by the lack of help from peers, friends, or loved ones, coupled with their driven desire for results. Have you ever worked on a project and everyone wanted to benefit from the results, but not provide any help? Have you ever tried to solve a problem, and everyone is waiting on the solution, but no one offers to help fix it? These are cases of Chicken Little Syndrome. Everyone wants the bread, but no one wants to help plant the wheat. It’s common among work groups, friend circles, and within families, but we don’t know what to call it besides, “irritating.” You are working hard to plant and grow the wheat, water it every day, turn the wheat into flour, and make breads that everyone wants to enjoy. This type of results-sucking is unfortunate, because I don’t think a lot of people know they are a part of a Chicken Little Syndrome scenario. I am aware of the real story on chicken little; how they thought the sky was falling and the story of the little red hen is the one who made the bread. But feeling the weight on your shoulders of everything depending on you is why I am calling it Chicken Little Syndrome. We all have tendencies to stand back and let someone else run the show because we are too afraid, or too unskilled to be able to participate. Sometimes we prefer to turn the other way and not look at the train wreck because you don’t want to see the disaster, but you want to know the outcome. Why do we stand back and let one person, one little chicken do all the work, or take all the heat? Is it our nature or nurture to self-preserve to the point to where we lose our compassion for the person who is bearing the weight of the world? When we step back from the situation and feel relief that it is not us going through it, do we also feel the loss of being connected to another human being? Why can’t we use our pair or grow a pair in needed circumstances? I think some of us are born to plant and harvest wheat and some of us are born to bake the bread, but all of us are able to see the situation from an outside the farm situation and observe who is doing the most work. How have you felt when your boss leaves you with the sole responsibility for a project when you know 14 more hands can help? Are you leaving someone else trapped in their circumstance because this is your way of getting back at your boss?

    I think it’s important to point out when Chicken Little Syndrome is happening because it reminds the group that everyone bears responsibilities. Not everyone will take their fair share, in fact I work with certain people who refuse to help and do the work correctly because of their attachment to their ego-driven soap-box pillar of rightful thinking. It matters that you point out what is happening. Call out the elephant in the room. Embrace the discomfort that you will go through by being observant and outward. You won’t get everyone to be on board with you and some people will be pushed away further once you point out that they are a part of Chicken Little Syndrome. The point isn’t to shame anyone, or label anyone as bad or lazy, it’s to bring to light a harmful situation with group benefits created by one person. Chicken Little Syndrome is also a chance to check your boundaries. Did you end up in this situation because you say yes too much or didn’t ask for help? Have you taken a third-person look at yourself to see if you have isolated people from working with you? Have you kept knowledge to your self that only you know which puts you in a risky/valuable/selfish situation? Chicken Little Syndrome can be self-induced.

    The sky may be falling, the bread may need baking, the field may need tilling, and the plants may need watering. Don’t try to hero yourself into a burn-out position with left-over guilt that turns into “woes are me’s” about not at least trying to ask for help. You can tell the world that it is too heavy and other Earthly citizens need to help you with weight. Those that have checked themselves for self-induced Chicken Little Syndrome will be the ones who take a couple of pounds off your back.

  • An Interview with Chuck Bergman

    An Interview with Chuck Bergman
    Oct 30 2021
    Hello, my friends. Today’s episode is different from the norm. This is an interview episode with my longtime friend Chuck Bergman. For Halloween, I wanted to release something a little different. This episode gets into the thick of the afterlife and hopefully answers questions you have had for some time. I am not becoming an interview show, but getting a chance to sit down with Chuck and have this conversation was one I couldn’t pass up. Whether you are a skeptic or a long-time believer in psychics, I hope this interview with Chuck can broaden your perspective. Chuck is available for phone and in-person readings and you can book a session with him at chuckbergman.com. Chicken Mind Nuggets will resume normal micro-podcast episodes in November. Chuck was born in Jacksonville Florida and is a third-generation psychic medium, following his mother and grandmother. He realized his gifts at an early age, but kept it under wraps for years. Chuck went on to serve in the United States Navy for 4 years overseas and during the Vietnam War where he was assigned to Special Ops and Radar Operations on aircraft carriers Shangri-La and John F. Kennedy. After the military he served 32 years as a motorcycle officer, patrol officer, computer and media specialist, and accident reconstructionist in Salem, Massachusetts. Since retirement and going public as a psychic medium, the A&E Channel and The Biography Channel have featured Chuck his own pilot program Psychic Search. Chuck has also been a repeat guest on many live radio shows, including Coast to Coast AM, where Chuck and I met and began our friendship over 10 years ago. In addition to regularly holding sessions and giving readings as a medium, Chuck has helped numerous police departments around the world locate missing persons, solve murder cases, and assist several law enforcement agencies across the country and internationally with ongoing investigations. He regularly holds group and private sessions in Middleburg, Florida, and does phone readings with clients worldwide via Skype. Chuck is passionate about educating people on the concept of life continuing after so-called death. He has also completed classes in meditation techniques, psychic mediumship, advanced mediumship, and Reiki. James Van Praagh, the world-renowned psychic medium, teacher, and co-producer of the CBS drama The Ghost Whisperer, highly recommends Chuck for psychic mediumship readings and lists Chuck on his website. Chuck co-authored the book The Everything Guide to Evidence of an Afterlife (published in 2011) and wrote his autobiography Psychic Cop published in 2012. Here are some of the questions we talk about today: *Tell us a little more about yourself and your background, your time as a cop, and how you transitioned into a psychic *Were your abilities taken seriously when you were a cop? Were you able to share your hunches with your police unit or did you keep them to yourself? *What was the transition from cop to psychic like for you and your family? *What is a day like in the life of Chuck? *How did you know you were connecting with spirits and not going crazy? *Is it more important for parents to have an open mind when their kids are talking to them about the afterlife and seeing spirits as opposed to a skeptical mind? *Can you describe what it’s like when you are in the moment connecting with someone on the other side, does it feel like you are in an alternate reality? *How do we tell when a spirit is communicating with us? Is it different for everybody? *How do animals communicate to you in the afterlife? *Why do spirits talk in clues or hints and why do they have limited time to talk to us? *How much influence would you say spirits have over our daily lives? *When a person enters the afterlife, are they automatically assigned guardian roles over their loved ones? *Do your loved ones on the other side have a choice to not look after you? *Is there a general consensus among spirits about human actions like conflict, jealousy, revenge, love, and generosity? *Are we more comedic or tragic to spirits as they watch our interactions? *Does everyone have their own version of heaven or hell they create in the afterlife like in the movie What Dreams May Come? *Is everything already planned out for our lives? *Is there a reward/punishment system for spirits like how we have on Earth if a spirit does something good or bad? *How do aliens fit in with the spirit realm? *Looking at reincarnation, does a spirit have a limited amount of time in the afterlife before they have to reincarnate? *How does a person’s spiritual practice on Earth help them prepare for the afterlife or does it have any influence at all? *Does a stronger and more realistic spiritual practice on Earth help to prepare for the transition into the afterlife? *When someone is dying, how does their fear or comfort level influence their transition into the afterlife? *...

    This is a unique episode, it’s something more along the lines of a guided meditation. I have been wanting to do this for a while, so I’m glad I have the opportunity to record and share this with you. Breathing has been an important part of my journey in remembering to be in the present moment and get air in my lungs when I’m feeling overwhelmed. There are a lot of articles, YouTube clips, and Instagram articles describing the benefits of deep breathing from a reduced sense of stress, to increased oxygen in your blood stream. There are also a lot of different types of breathing from 4 in, 8 out, to the Wim Hof method. All of these have their benefits, and it’s great if you follow one, or more than one method. For this episode, I would like to guide you through two minutes of the breathing I use when I start meditation. It’s not revolutionary, it just helps me to count breaths and get clarification during meditation. This is how I start off my meditations, and my breathing changes after I am at a certain point, but for me, this is a great start. I hope it helps you too.

    We are going to do two minutes of deep breathing together. I will start with an inhale. Let’s begin, now.

    *2 minutes of deep breathing*

    Thank you for joining me in these two minutes of deep breathing. I hope it helped you, and I hope you have a wonderful rest of your day.
