Premonitions: When the Universe Warns You… Should You Listen?

SPEAKER_01 0:00

Hey everyone, welcome to another episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality. Today we're gonna talk about premonitions. Get ready. Play the music. Hey guys, welcome to another episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality. And I am Carissa with the lovely lady Stacey. Hello and Michelle. Hi, everyone. Well, today we're gonna talk about premonitions. We had Sam on our last episode, and he really serendipiously, intuitively, or unconsciously, or all of the above, led us into this session, which we are already planning to talk about, which is premonitions.

SPEAKER_00 0:54

Yeah, he is fascinating. And again, before we go any further in this episode, I do want to shout out again, thank you so much, Sam, for joining us. We learned a lot. You are a wonderful guest, and we hope to have you on the podcast again in the future.

SPEAKER_02 1:08

Agreed. He was awesome.

SPEAKER_00 1:10

Well, the reason I kind of wanted to talk about premonitions is because the other night I had a dream, and it was crazy. It was like layered portions of my life. Like I was raised here, but this lake was now there, and these people were now there. So different portions of my life were in the same location. And there was this horrible fire, a mass fire that took several lives. And the whole purpose of it, and I know I'm not explaining it very well because it's spotty in my mind too, but the whole message behind it was even though we knew the fire was going to happen, it was beyond our control as a premonition to stop. If that makes sense at all. That to stop it would have done more damage because it was meant to play out the way it did. So that had me thinking a little bit about premonitions, even though that's not a great explanation of the dream. It was profound. I'll just say that message came through very strong. So I'm like, let's talk about premonitions. So then Stacy, before I even said that, was like, hey, you know, a couple of years ago, I had this drawing done of my soulmate. And Stacy, tell us about it.

SPEAKER_02 2:36

So back it was 2022. I went, I have fun with reading sometimes. I know we've talked about that in the past episode, where we just go in and get kind of fun readings just to enjoy it. And in 2022, I went through it was an Etsy shop. I can't even tell you what uh Etsy shop it was, but they draw your soulmate. And I remember where I was in life at that point in time. I got the the drawing and I was like, nah, this is not this is not the person that I'm seeing. This is this isn't this is whack. Like, I just didn't believe it. So I just kind of filed it away and and let it go. It was saved on my phone from you know the the three years ago. And for whatever reason, now being married again and stuff like that, it clicked in my brain a couple of days ago, actually, because we were texting about this. And I was like, I wonder what that drawing looked like. I'm curious as I'm curious now because I'm in a relationship, you know, we're very balanced, things are going well. And I was like, I wonder, I just, you know, curiosity. So I pulled it up and it is it is my husband. It is Mohawk, piercings, like everything. I was like, this is bizarre. And so I was sitting next to him and I showed it to him, and he was like, Where'd you get that? And I was like, I got it three years ago. And he's like, We didn't even there we didn't even know each other. So that's when I sent it to you ladies, and I was like, check this out, because it was just so serendipitous in a way, but also, you know, talking about premonitions, you know, at the time I was not in a space to hear where I would be today, and I wouldn't have even guessed in a million years where I am today. But all of the breadcrumbs were there. That is wild.

SPEAKER_01 4:29

I mean, it looks it looks it looks like he sat for someone to draw him.

SPEAKER_00 4:34

Yeah, and if you're okay, maybe we'll put it out on social media if you're okay sharing it with the listeners. But I love how you kind of just reinforce what Sam said in the last episode, too. Like when you get a premonition, it's not that you're supposed to go out and immediately do something. You hold on to that information, which is what you did. You filed it away, and years later it was like that confirmation all over again. That's so amazing.

SPEAKER_02 4:59

It was crazy. I mean, I'm still kind of reeling from it because it's only been a few days that I'm kind of like, I guess, you know, again, on path, you know, walking where you're supposed to be walking, doing the things you're supposed to do. So when you step into those little moments, it's like, yep, little nod.

SPEAKER_00 5:14

Yeah, here you go. So I was doing a little research on the word premonition. And the most common definition, I'm just gonna paraphrase, it's a strong feeling that something is going to happen, but it's usually a little bit foreboding. It doesn't necessarily mean that it's gonna be a good thing, the word premonition. Now it can be called a prediction, it can be called a knowing, which I don't think it has that foreboding warning on it. What do you guys think or know about that?

SPEAKER_01 5:48

Foreboding, you mean like a harmful negative?

SPEAKER_00 5:52

Like a more negative connotation, usually something. It doesn't have to be, but all the definitions I saw did say just interesting. I know I thought it was interesting too, because I never thought of it that way until the dictionary told me I needed to.

SPEAKER_01 6:07

No, I could be until the dictionary, so I think it could be positive or negative. Your premonition can be. And sometimes one just popped up for me, but sometimes you can act on something having an unconscious premonition, like something happened recently, and I'm like, whoa, why did why did I do that? And then it came to come to fruition, like something, you know, was more now. I could see where I'm coming from, but it was not an image, it wasn't a knowing, it was just an act, an out-of-character act, right?

SPEAKER_00 6:40

Because I sat with it for a while and I was like, Well, how would you get a premonition? I've had a few, so how have I gotten them? I have gotten them visually and I've got just that knowing or that gut pull. How about you, Stacy? Have you experienced premonitions in different ways?

SPEAKER_02 6:56

In in different ways, yeah. You know, one of the examples that that I had used even in in the last episode is dreaming of the house that I drove by. You know, was it a premonition that I was going to see the house? Does that mean something bad is necessarily going to happen? Or is it just a, hey, you're you're again, you did the premonition that you're you're on path. One of the things that that Michelle that you kind of clicked in my brain is, you know, a lot of people talk about premonitions on those negative, like grand scheme things. And, you know, I really liked what Sam had said is that sometimes we see things because we just need to hold space. And it's not like you're gonna be able to change it because the example that you used initially, too, was something that that had to happen that may have not been deemed positive or good, but it had to happen because of whatever energies or whatever balance it created within the universe, because that's kind of all it all it comes down to is it's not necessarily good or bad. It's necessary for that that equilibrium, as it were. So talking about premonitions in that sense, I think we see things sometimes that we just hold that space for, you know, again, and it's not like you're gonna get on two one and call some other country saying, I think something's gonna happen.

SPEAKER_00 8:14

Have you ever had one that was on a larger, more collective scale? Have you experienced that before?

SPEAKER_01 8:22

Yes, but I wasn't aware of it until I read the news, like an earthquake, and it wasn't even in thinking of when it wasn't even in the US, it was in Mexico, but it was really big. And again, I was like, well, why? I don't know. Maybe it was to on a spiritual unconscious level, like Stacey and Sam. You're you're holding space energetically. I don't know, or you're just you're in that you're asleep and your senses are open. Yeah, I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 8:53

How about you, Stacey? That I can recall significantly, other than small pieces of my own world in my own life. I I don't have an example. I know I can say that gut pulls, you know, I know something's happening, I know something significant has been happening, like has happened, but I can't tell you an example because it's it's usually just like, oh, I need to look up and see. I need to see what's going on in the world. Something is not feeling right. If that I I hopefully that makes sense.

SPEAKER_00 9:24

What about that makes a lot of sense for me? And I don't really like to talk politics, so I don't tell many people this, but the night before the Capitol riots or early the morning of, I have these little boxes out up here, and they did, and they usually don't open up and show pictures, but on this particular morning or night, whatever, it did. And it was just flashes of scenes from Washington, DC, over and over and over and over and over and over again. And I'm like, huh, what's going on? I didn't know what it was. It didn't say specifically what was gonna happen, but I knew something was gonna happen, didn't know a timeline, didn't know when. Again, couldn't call anyone and tell them about it because they probably think I was crazy and I didn't even know what I was telling them. Just something was gonna happen sometime.

SPEAKER_01 10:12

Yeah, like you can get something, you have no idea what it means. You could usually I go into thinking it's something that I need to work through or it's personal, it's some unconscious clutter, right? But yeah.

SPEAKER_00 10:23

Yeah, I've had him on personal levels too, and I usually don't listen to that gut instinct or that knowing that I should not be doing something. And one of the biggest ones I can remember is Rob and I were traveling a lot, and I had a two-day opening, and I really wanted to go to Disneyland in October to see like the villain parade and the villain fireworks, because I guess they're different. And something in me said, Don't do it, do not do it. Yet I didn't listen and I went, I'm not gonna go into the story, but we will never go to Disneyland again. But I told you about that dream in which the real message was even if you have this information, you really can't do anything with it. And we've kind of talked about it's maybe we're just getting it to hold space. But do you think that really is a thing? Of like if we mess with the timeline here, it changes everything moving forward. I mean, I've seen it in Back to the Future, the movie, but that was just a movie.

SPEAKER_02 11:36

Well, you're you're kind of talking about the butterfly effect, right? If you change something, if you have a premonition and you make a change for the future, is that gonna change the future, future, future, future, future? I don't think so personally. Oh, think about the big picture, right? Like all the people involved. Like, I don't know if I have that much power. So I like the idea that if you get a premonition and you think something bad is gonna happen, like your example for for Disneyland, Michelle, like getting that example, getting that gut pull and not going, you don't you never know what you're going to change whenever you make those small changes. But we as humans can't change the entire world based off of one one shift in our own lives. And because there are certain things that we're supposed to be here to do and accomplish and experience and you know, all of those things. I don't think that shift, like if you hadn't have gone to Disneyland, who knows what your experience the next time you went would have been. Maybe it would have been worse. Maybe it you were supposed to go and have that, or if you didn't, you know, you would have had a negative experience the next time you went. Like it it all kind of, I think they all kind of stack together in a way, but I don't think it changes everything if you change something small like that. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_00 12:52

It does make sense. And again, I was just recalling like back to my dream and then back to the future, where Marty McFly went back and he kind of interrupted his parents' first meeting. And in between when he like re-established their connection, he changed as a person or the father changed, which then changed the way the kids grew up and all of that. So that's kind of where I was going with that. I I didn't know.

SPEAKER_01 13:19

Great movie. I love that movie.

SPEAKER_02 13:21

That was I mean, the premise of that part that you're talking about was kind of weird because his mom kind of falls in love with him, and like that's kind of later.

SPEAKER_00 13:29

Yeah, that part was weird. I wasn't concentrating on that part. Oh, that was weird. Yeah. I was just looking for an example, and that's what came to mind. And, you know, also I think we're not meant to always step in that that holding space is really good because people have soul contracts, they are have different things that they're supposed to accomplish in their life. And for us to jump in and try to change something, maybe that's taking a key experience away from them.

SPEAKER_01 13:57

For sure.

SPEAKER_00 13:57

Yeah, I agree. I absolutely agree. Yeah, and when we were talking to Sam, he also mentioned like death premonitions. Have you ever had one of those?

SPEAKER_02 14:09

I had an experience, but I don't know if it was a premonition per se. What about you, Cursa?

SPEAKER_01 14:16

Yes. No. No. I don't know if I want one.

SPEAKER_00 14:24

And I'm not sure mine was, but kind of again, it was kind of like that vagueness. I had gone to sleep and I had a dream about my pastor that we were at the grocery store, and I saw him in the distance. And I'm like, I need to go say hi to him and thank him for everything he's ever done for me. And then I looked at my watch and like, no, I don't have time right now, but I'll tell him next time. And I left the store and then I woke up the next morning and found out he had passed away. So, in a way, that was kind of a premonition, although not a direct connected, like he's gonna die premonition.

SPEAKER_01 15:02

Yeah. That intuitive nudge. But then is that a premonition? Yeah, it kind of is. It's just not knowing the full picture.

SPEAKER_00 15:12

Yeah, I don't know that I could sit with a bunch of information. I think it would drive me crazy. So that's probably why I don't get a lot of premonitions to sit there and like have my joy stolen in the moment, worrying about what's gonna happen and when it's gonna happen and whose lives are gonna be affected. Right.

SPEAKER_01 15:28

Don't want to know a death one.

SPEAKER_00 15:30

Definitely not. So we have premonitions, knowings, predictions. Are they different in any way? Or do you think they all kind of carry the same we're aware that something's gonna happen?

SPEAKER_01 15:45

Well, it comes up for you, Stacey. You seem like you're in deep thought.

SPEAKER_02 15:49

I I am because all of the it's it's to me like that's such an interesting, interesting question because to me, all of the words in the the language choice means essentially the same thing in my brain. So I think it's a matter of how you're defining them differently. But to me, premonitions, predictions, psychic hits, psychic uh whatever, it it's all an intuitive uh flow. Like it's all kind of like you're taking this broad spectrum and trying to define them so in in in in each individual box that it's hard to conceptualize. I think that's the that's a that's a great word because to me it's it's you know, I we call ourselves psychics, we call ourselves psychic mediums, we call it we we're intuitives. Like that that overarching umbrella, it it's it's hard to the second you start putting yourself in a box or putting those those definitions in a box is is when it becomes a thing that you're searching for. Does that make sense?

SPEAKER_00 17:03

I love how you put that. That more than makes sense because I mean, breaking premonitions down to the very basic, it is an intuitive hit. It's just an intuitive hit on that collective consciousness a lot, that energy.

SPEAKER_01 17:18

So yeah, yeah, I don't like the foreboding. I never knew that.

SPEAKER_00 17:22

I didn't either.

SPEAKER_01 17:22

That really premonition was something you got information about something that was about to happen.

SPEAKER_00 17:29

Yeah. Let me ask you this have you ever changed travel plans or your personal plans based on like a fear of an accident or not feeling safe about the trip?

SPEAKER_01 17:42

Yeah, Stacy talked about one about the hiking where she turned around.

SPEAKER_02 17:46

Yes. Oh, yeah. Oh, yes, yes. I knew I wasn't gonna make it out if I kept going. Um I am a firm believer that a lot of times when we get stuck in traffic jams or we get stuck behind that one person that's going, you know, 20 miles under the speed limit, or you know, insert that mild inconvenience into your life that frustrates you to no end. There's a reason for that. And that to me is kind of a change of plans in a way. Because you maybe, maybe you would have been in a horrific accident if you had gotten somewhere two minutes earlier. You know, you just don't, you don't know. So I'm gonna say my answer to that question would be, yeah, it happens all the time. I just don't think we acknowledge it to the capacity that that we can consciously say, yeah, I changed this because of this, you know.

SPEAKER_00 18:36

And I love that. That makes a lot of sense to me also. Again, teaching me, I love these teachable, teachable moments. So when it comes to premonitions and again, stepping in, holding space, it's always important for people to remember too that that free will is in there. So just because you have a premonition that looks like this, it doesn't mean it'll play out like that because everybody does have free free will.

SPEAKER_02 19:05

Yeah, it that's 100%. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:08

That that's probably stuff is so rare that that you like, you know what, I'm not getting on that airplane ride. And then the airplane goes down. I think the majority of times is we get stuck in traffic or we get pulled over for certain things and distracted, and they may not necessarily be big things, and it's not I think it's rare to find out what we missed.

SPEAKER_02 19:30

I know I love your example about the planes because I remember um at 9-11, uh, there were several people that changed flights and had like random things happened where the, you know, was it a premonition or was it, you know, that divine intervention, whatever you want to call it. Those, those are viable examples that you can that you can look at and and have. But I think in everyday speaking, in everyday life, they're not as grandiose as as that. It's again the example of getting stuck behind that person going 20 miles per hour under the speed limit. And maybe you didn't end up in a horrific car accident. Those mild inconveniences that piss us off to no land.

SPEAKER_00 20:13

Right. So the message behind all that is to give gratitude for those mild inconveniences. And I think we've talked about that in a previous episode. And that's an important reminder because we get so caught up in the hustle and bustle that to slow it down, there's a reason.

SPEAKER_02 20:29

I'm I'm the first one that is sitting there trying so hard to just be like, thank you for going 200 shooting. This is great. Don't speed up at all. And I'm clenching my teeth the entire time because I really need to get somewhere. And I'm like, oh, this is awesome. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 20:46

I just I try to remind myself everything in divine timing, Carissa. You can't control everything, you can't stress out. I just go, everything in divine timing, and I kind of breathe. But yes, traffic is my biggest. That's the one thing I hate is traffic. Now, I am not the person to flip people off and get angry because Texas, we got guns and you don't want to do you really, they will chase you.

SPEAKER_02 21:12

I did once and I got followed in oh yeah, I I I was 17, but beside the point.

SPEAKER_00 21:18

Chris, a minute ago, you were talking about divine timing, and it feels like a really good time right now to ask you about your recent travels to Guatemala. Is there an experience that you had there that you would like to share with the listeners before we close this episode out?

SPEAKER_01 21:33

We did have a shamanic ceremony with the shaman that was really cool. And what was also really cool is that they have their own astrology that I wasn't aware of. And yeah, he just told a little bit about how we are, and it was really interesting because interesting because with my daughter, he's like, she's like a sword. She cuts, she cuts, like she'll give, give, and then she'll just cut, cut people, cut things. And I'm like, dang, that is my daughter. It was really, it was interesting. But I thought it was beautiful, and it was clearing out 2024 and clearing out the energy, and it was really cool how he did the fire and the candles. Anything. Oh, my grandfather showed up with my grandmother and my aunt right behind him. They just kind of like right when he said something about ancestors, they kind of like ran right up. But there wasn't really anything big, it just felt like I was in a liminal space, if that makes sense. Usually when I'm with the shaman, I'm they're clear, I feel the energy move through my body, or I'm seeing the visuals. It's a very different experience. Does that make sense? Can I can I should I how can I articulate that more?

SPEAKER_02 22:45

I I I think that was perfect. I completely understood what you were saying. Okay. Mine, my mind was very quiet.

unknown 22:52

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:53

Maybe that's exactly what you needed.

SPEAKER_01 22:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 22:56

Definitely. And let me just ask you about one more connection, and that would be with your grandpa, your grandma, and your aunt coming through. You were also there with, I believe, your mom and your daughter. How was that having that experience with the two of them there also? Are they open to this?

SPEAKER_01 23:15

Well, my daughter wasn't feeling well, but she was there in spirit. So, yeah, because my mom and I are both open to that kind of stuff. So it wasn't weird or uncomfortable. It just felt natural. That's so not that to have that connection.

SPEAKER_00 23:29

And your daughter to have a lot of people. My daughter would not.

SPEAKER_01 23:32

My actually, my daughter, because we got rained on, and then it got cold, and people were walking because it's in front of one of those big Mayan, what are they called? Somebody out my brain. Temple, a my of the Mayan rooms or temple. Yes. And so that would have made her uncomfortable too.

SPEAKER_00 23:51

Well, I just getting ready to go internationally for a trip, and one of the excursions was like shadow boxing, and one was um meditating with the monks, which I think would be really, really cool. I've done that before. I love that. Yeah, I don't think anybody I'm with is gonna want to do that. And I don't know that I'm brave enough to like venture out by myself.

SPEAKER_01 24:11

You have to go do it. It's it's it is it's history.

SPEAKER_00 24:16

It's history. I think it would be really cool. Yeah. But do you guys have anything else you want to share about premonitions or our conversation? I'm having a premonition that I'm gonna go eat food.

SPEAKER_01 24:30

Oh, I'm I'm actually just about to do that too.

SPEAKER_00 24:34

With that, Stacy, do you want to close this episode out? Absolutely. Stay classy. Stay sassy, and stay badassy until next time and every time. Bye guys. Bye.
