Psychic Mediums Reflect On The Shifting Energy Of Our World

SPEAKER_02 0:00

On this week's episode of Three Cups and a Dash of Spirituality, we begin with the listener's question on manifestation and its connection to prayer. From there, we flow into a conversation about the current energy of the world, weaving in astrological insights while keeping it grounded and personal. Tune in as we explore what these shifts mean for each of us and how we can navigate them on an individual level with clarity and balance. Now, please start the music. Hello, Stacy. Hello, Michelle. Hello, everybody. And hello, hello, Carissa. Hello, hello. I always get so energized when I know I have a listener question that we can start the episode with. And this listener question came in after last week's episode. If you haven't watched it yet, it was all about manifestation. And so this is a question she had for us ladies. What are we supposed to do with prayer? How is it different than manifestation? And if so much is predetermined, or we are meant to follow a specific path, is it right to pray for the things to happen in a specific way?

SPEAKER_01 1:27

Can I tell you what came up for me for the first part of the question? And then you guys jump in. So when I she asked the question, the first part, the difference between prayer and manifestation, immediately, intuitively, what I saw was, you know, your angels are behind your back. Your ancestors are behind your back. So it's almost like, no, it's not like it is. You're not doing it alone versus manifestation is you're doing it alone. That's that's the download of that I got.

SPEAKER_00 2:01

It's it's interesting that that you kind of focus on being surrounded by your team, essentially, because I look at them very similarly. And I've always seen even manifestation as a form kind of of prayer, and that you can utilize them very similarly.

SPEAKER_02 2:20

And I'm gonna piggyback off of what you said, Stacy. I know recently somebody challenged me for being like a psychic medium and being able to go into a prayer room. And for me, meditation is just really a different form of prayer. And I love how Carissa adds in that next step of when you pray, you can feel the room around you fill up with your loved ones, with that which is greater. And I think that's a beautiful way to sum it up because meditation, you're putting it out there kind of like you would a prayer, but it's energy you're gonna have to meet, whereas prayer, you're calling in people, you're calling in that help immediately. And those who love you are showing up.

SPEAKER_00 3:05

I agree with that. And I I think it it's interesting because I'm sitting here just kind of, I guess, befuddled in my own like thought process because I I held them so closely for so long that if I am in meditation or manifesting something, I have always kind of internalized it as a type of prayer in a way. I feel like even when I'm focusing on manifesting the things that I want in life, I'm talking to, you know, my guardian angels and my guides in that way. But I think it's all in how you approach it, which is my why of they're so similar, they're such similar energy, is it's because I've created it that way.

SPEAKER_01 3:46

You've always called in unconsciously or your spirit guides or consciously, yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:51

And the second part of the question is is it right to pray for things to happen in a specific way?

SPEAKER_01 3:59

Well, why not? I mean, what if, you know, a loved one is sick? You're damn right I'm gonna be praying for them to get better.

SPEAKER_00 4:10

Right. Well, not not only that, but you can pray for it in the way you think it would be best, but be open to all possibilities, right? You know, it might be a little bit of a journey. Maybe it's it's depending on the illness, maybe they have to do something to change their lifestyle, which looks different than you expect. Hopefully, that makes sense.

SPEAKER_02 4:32

It does. And I think last week you did a really good job hitting on it, Stacy, when you talked about manifestation and when you put things out there, don't be so specific on how that's supposed to unfold for you. Let's say you're saying a prayer, and your prayer is, I want to get pregnant, I want to have a baby in May, and it'll be born on this day. I mean, that gets very specific, but maybe there are things, other things going on in your astrological chart and the world around you where May is just not gonna work, and the universe knows that. And so maybe you get pregnant in August. It's still coming.

SPEAKER_00 5:10

Reading this book, and they're where they are born or when they are born in the year has such an impact on where they fit into their society. Um, that if they're born under like the cancer sun or something along those lines, like in one in one realm, so to speak, they're they're not trusted because they were born under the wrong sun sign, or it and it's it's just so it's it's a it's a fantasy book, but it's so so interesting that they're tying a lot of that in. And I'm like, hey, I know that language.

SPEAKER_01 5:44

Oh yeah. Because I was about to say cancers are so sweet.

SPEAKER_00 5:47

Oh, not always.

SPEAKER_01 5:49

Well, you have a cat moon though. You have a Capricorn moon, so it's like it's your internal is very is the boss, right? And your cancer, you have yeah, you have Virgo rising, right? Yes, Virgo rising, yeah. And cancer, cancers are so sweet, nurturing, but that Capricorn moon, so any listeners with Capricorn moon, your moon is your feeling world. And the cap's Capricorn's like, I don't think so. I'm not gonna sit here and feel. We gotta do. That is that is very true. That is very true. So that's that's why. Because the cancer is so sweet and nurturing, but then the cat moon is going, here's the loss. Yeah, exactly.

SPEAKER_02 6:35

When you talk astrology, it just is really fascinating because I do learn so much about myself from these discussions that we have. Now, if I go back, you know, during the question, I did talk about recently somebody kind of attacking me because they didn't think I should be allowed to go into a prayer room because I have psychic or I'm different.

SPEAKER_01 7:01

Did you tell me this?

SPEAKER_02 7:02

Did we talk about we did talk about this? But this is kind of gonna lead into the bigger picture of what we're talking about today.

SPEAKER_03 7:10

Wow.

SPEAKER_02 7:11

And it's those energies that are kind of in an uprise right now. There's so much going on, there's so much division, and we've talked about it before starting this episode. We could go political, but we are not gonna go political. We're gonna keep it pretty general and kind of talk about the energy that is going on in the world around us. If there are ways to work with it, ways to keep, you know, we don't want to keep re-engaging it the same way because we don't understand. So that's kind of what we're gonna talk about today.

SPEAKER_01 7:44

Yeah. And we have Pluto and Aquarius, and regardless of who, you know, whomever is in charge, this is about lies being exposed and systems being dismantled.

SPEAKER_00 8:02

I was gonna say systems crumbling, systems crumbling, right?

SPEAKER_01 8:06

And how can we come together and love each other? Right. Because we should not have anyone in power telling us how we should think and feel. Right. Regardless. And nothing's gonna divide us. It's really a time to come together. We the people are in control, and we have been led to think all of these other people now and before us have always been in control. And that's not true. We are, they work for us.

SPEAKER_00 8:38

Yeah, well, I think I think too, you know, outside of that, just with everything that's happening, you know, uh across the globe, there's like this feeling of shift. And a lot of my clients have been mentioning it because they don't know what to do with it. I have actually had the opportunity to talk to people that are suddenly opening up again. We've got this, this, this sort of intuitive shift again, once again happening that I know we visited, I I think like a year or two ago, where there were people opening up and there was this like major shift happening just in the world again. And it was like all of a sudden people are having these abilities. They're seeing, you know, things that they didn't see before or interpreting things just a little bit differently than they ever had. And we're kind of seeing that shift happening again. And it's it's I'd like to say it's it's pushing us to love more. It's pushing us to be more understanding, it's pushing us to be more open.

SPEAKER_01 9:40

Yeah. And I truly believe too that this Pluto and Aquarius is also about the divine feminine waking up. And I feel like it's more spiritual than, say, the French Revolution, the American Revolution, stuff like that.

SPEAKER_00 9:58

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 9:59

I could be wrong. I'm just saying that's what it feels like.

SPEAKER_00 10:02

No, I I agree with you. What do you think, Michelle?

SPEAKER_02 10:05

I have a lot of thoughts, but again, I'm so used to just working through it on my own and not really opening up and sharing because I don't like the feeling of divisiveness around me. And so I'm really trying to step into ways to manage how I'm feeling about it, to manage my relationships, to manage my approach to things. And I'm very curious about things we can do to help ourselves. And I do know that this is something going on everywhere. It's the energy that we're sitting in, but we got to survive it. So, how do we do that? How do we bring a little bit of calm to our world when we are so bombarded by the opinions of others from both sides? And you're just trying to survive, you're trying to keep your family intact and your friends intact. It's very difficult, but I do feel love coming through, and that's where I tend to try to lean into is love, understanding, knowing when to speak up and knowing when to keep quiet.

SPEAKER_01 11:13

My guides showed me, I was like, is there anything you want me to do during this time? And they showed me being like the peaceful uh spiritual teacher. And I was like, okay. And so for me, I'll answer that question. I just, I have, and you know, I have, and I'm I Stacy knows me, us in the PhD program, I'm very analytical. I love to think. And this time for me is about finding quiet time, staying in love and positivity. I know it again, it's it's really what is your path. And for me, this is my path right now. And I have to honor it. And if your path goes one way or the other, you have to honor it, right?

unknown 12:02

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 12:03

Yeah, it's it's you know, I know, you know, I love what you just said, Carissa, about like honoring your path. And it goes right right back to what you said, Michelle, of, you know, finding your way to navigate it and what does that look like? Because it's going to look different for everybody. I know I have been pushed and and Carissa, I I don't know if you know this, but I finally relaunched the business. Like I finally am focusing on the the passions and things that that I have always been drawn to that I haven't really been able to pay attention to over the past year or two at this point. And for me, that is the the highest form of self-care that I can offer to myself is honoring that part of me that has been kind of left aside for a while, which is a beautiful thing.

SPEAKER_02 12:56

It's remembering to step into being able to show up for people and to truly listen instead of just not really hearing what they're having to say, you know, and not jumping in there with your own reaction. Going into a conversation with an open heart, I want to hear, I want to learn, doesn't mean I'm gonna change my position or my point of view. But I think when we listen, even when we don't recognize it's happening, subtle little shifts start to change. And it doesn't mean you're gonna step in and believe everything they say, but you're gonna listen to it, you're gonna think about it, and it does start to change you. And, you know, maybe if more people stepped into that listening and being open to hearing another person's perspective, the divide wouldn't be so great.

SPEAKER_01 13:51

I've actually found too, with neighbors, I am connecting more because everyone can be, I'm just not, I'm a Libra moon. So I see both sides. And this time, it's like regardless of what side they're on, there we're actually coming in the middle and going, oh, this is about me, not about whom is in charge. And these are my beliefs. And I can actually see where you believe that, and I can see where you believe that. So I do feel like while it is divided, there has been more connection and and loosening their beliefs, actually. It's I've seen a lot of people like loosening, like I don't need to be saying so stand so strong in this, you know, because we want to connect, right?

unknown 14:41

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 14:42

Well, I I think one of the things that is really striking to me, uh, out of what both of you have just said is listening to hear and not to respond. And, you know, so you're actually taking the time to, you know, make sure you're understanding what that's in.

SPEAKER_02 15:04

Yeah, I want to step into loving my neighbor regardless of where they stand. That's what we're supposed to be doing. And when anger gets in the way, and when we're not able to see past our own human beliefs, right people do get stuck, and that's so sad. You see families destroyed, you see friendships destroyed, and we've all we're all in this together. Like none of us living right now are escaping this energy.

SPEAKER_00 15:33

So I find it heartbreaking when I go into social media and I see the if you agree with ex, delete me now. We can't be friends because while I can appreciate that your viewpoint might be completely different than mine, I want to learn from you because there's a reason that you have those views. And again, not stepping super political. I don't have an example of this, but it's been like this if you if you agree with X, we can't be friends. And it's shutting down that ability to be open to any sort of communication whatsoever. And you're shutting down any opportunity for love at that point in time because while we're we may never agree, while we may never find a common ground, being open to it allows us to let love in.

SPEAKER_02 16:28

Just get its foot in the door.

SPEAKER_00 16:29

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 16:30

Yeah, get the foot in the door.

SPEAKER_00 16:32

And you know, we might reach a point where we realize we really are not ever gonna meet meet that common ground, but maybe those conversations are just off-limit to us and we don't talk about them. Because we still need that connection. That's true.

SPEAKER_02 16:47

I agree with that. So Carissa, how long is this energy gonna be around? 19 years.

SPEAKER_01 16:55

No, seriously? Yes, it's it gets worse. It's I mean, if we're looking at history, right, it gets worse before it gets better.

SPEAKER_02 17:06

So, do you have any continued tips to survive it or recommendations? I mean, I know we shared a lot.

SPEAKER_01 17:13

I just wish, I mean, my hope is, you know, my hope is that the people can come together and we can rise up in a way where we realize we're the ones in control. We're the ones with the power.

SPEAKER_03 17:32

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:32

And you know, again, systems are gonna crumble. I don't know. I really, I mean, I don't know what's gonna look like.

SPEAKER_03 17:42

Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 17:42

And it, you know, it worries me. Like the French Revolution. It worries me because what happened after that? Well, then Napoleon came in charge because no one's in charge. Like, so it's not, I don't, it's not a fun time. I don't like, you know.

SPEAKER_02 17:57

If you look at it, everybody has to do their part and that's exactly accountability for their actions and maybe step into what it means for them and like search their hearts. So go inward in order to respond outward.

SPEAKER_01 18:13

And it's, you know, it's studying astrology is fascinating because so much of this stuff is laid out for you and who you are, and it goes back to that question of, and I hate this question because I know we have free will, but then how much do we have when our soul wants to live a certain experience, right?

SPEAKER_00 18:40

Yeah, it's it's it's we have free will, but but how much? But how much is because you know, I think we've talked about it in the past. We have these like points that we want to hit in life. And it could be I want to work with kids. I my goal in in this life is to work with children, but that opens us up to a million different opportunities. But depending on on that, free will is an interesting concept because it's like how much of that is actually free will or predetermined by when you're born, by the experiences you choose, by those points that you're trying to hit.

SPEAKER_01 19:23

So for instance, I was reading a chart, and this is for an older, older woman who's you know, outgrown this, but she definitely went through this. In her chart, she has Neptune, Square, Mars, and that could lead to someone being a religious fanatic. I am holier than thou. And she did go through that. And now she's on the other side. She's still a devout Christian, but she works on that piece of herself and she's completely aware of it. Her and her, she didn't come from an uber religious family. So, and I really sat back after that and thought, okay, again, I know this is silly, crazy question, but I want to get to the root of it. How much free will do we have? This was in her chart.

SPEAKER_00 20:18

Isn't it wild? And are we supposed to experience things just to experience them for a beat in this lifetime? Right. And even like using the the child example, going kind of going back to that. If we work with children for a year, does that cover that experience that we wanted to have in this life? And then we can do whatever the heck we want to do.

SPEAKER_01 20:40

That's a really it's just wow, because she was, she talked about she was so judgmental. It was very black and white, you know, God, Satan, blah, blah, blah, until she went through a bunch of heartbreaks. And, you know, she and she says, she's I still work on it. And it's just fascinating that she has this placement, she went through it, and nothing was set up for her really to become that. Interesting.

SPEAKER_02 21:10

Right? So we have this energy now that we're living in for the next 19 years. And this is gonna tie back to kind of what you were saying about individual growth during that time because we're gonna be going in and out of houses and focusing on different lessons in our life. So everyone may find a time where they're open to that change or they're ready to experience a change and listen, maybe. Did that make sense?

SPEAKER_01 21:41

I I'm gonna stay positive and I'm gonna say we are eventually all gonna come together. Not, you know, maybe not a hundred percent, but I really do feel like, and I'm gonna stay positive that we're gonna all figure out we all want the same thing. Not all of us, but a lot of us want the same thing. Things.

SPEAKER_00 22:01

Either that or we're gonna get taken over by aliens and unicorns and we're gonna like shift into a completely different timeline of some sort, and everything's just gonna be upended. Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 22:13

I like the idea of common ground, finding common ground that we can exist on. And there's safety there and there's growth there. And it's possible to get there, but you have to do it through first looking at yourself and then how you interact with people and you know, know other people are changing and growing too as they age.

SPEAKER_01 22:36

I mean, we have been set up and manipulated and divided for so long. Just think about the racial division. I mean, back in the day, you have colored w water fountains, white water fountains. That sets us to believe that we are different and we don't get along. Like in it, and it's and if you put two children together, we love each other. The systems above us are the ones that have done this.

SPEAKER_03 23:01

Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 23:02

We're we're taught. Yes. Uh essentially that division. And that's why, you know, I made the joke about aliens and unicorns, but why not? Like, you know, what is it gonna take to bring us together? Let's let's, you know, shake this up.

SPEAKER_01 23:16

Can we all break out of our own of this divisive programming to realize we the mass majority, the mass majority really want the same things?

SPEAKER_00 23:26

Yeah. And and the reality is it's it's true. You know, I think in and I'll I'm gonna bring for two seconds, I'm gonna bring religion into this for just a moment because I'm not talking about any specific religion. But if if you take a step back and you broadly look at all of the different religions, they are essentially touting the same things in different language, in different verbiage, in different like ways. But it all comes down to a certain belief system. But because we're not saying we're not saying the messages in this the same language in the same way, we're assuming that the person on the other end that is celebrating a different religion is celebrating it incorrectly or it's different. It's it's so different that if you break it down, it all comes to it comes down to loving other human species.

SPEAKER_02 24:24

And yes, like people again, it's stepping stepping into uh the ability to listen without judging. Listen for the reason of seeing what it's really all about before you bring in all your preconceived notions as to what it is. And it is hard to do, but it it can be done. Yeah, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 24:48

So let's come together.

SPEAKER_00 24:51

Yeah. Right now. Come together.

SPEAKER_03 24:56

Yes, yes, got it.

SPEAKER_00 24:58

I just now got it when you started singing it.

SPEAKER_02 25:02

No, it's important. Like let's all strive to find some common ground and let's strive to be people that are open to hearing the other person and really listening. Yeah and then being able to step into to growth of their own. I mean, it's not gonna happen overnight, but you gotta take that first step. And believe me, I am not open to the idea of losing anyone in my life. No, they think differently than I do or they live their lives differently. I have enough love for everybody and I have enough sense and whereabouts, or what do they say about myself? Enough sense and wherefore all. Is that the right word to work? To know that I can show up and love them where they're at and stay away from those tough conversations or have them when they feel ready and I'll listen. I love it. Anything else you want to share about this topic?

SPEAKER_01 26:01

Well, and I want to say y'all both have, we all three have a way of seeing everyone else's side. So, listeners, if y'all do have family members who are abusive, I mean, we get it. We're saying, you know, can we all respect each other and love each other and find a way to connect? And, you know, sometimes there's gonna be people you can't.

SPEAKER_02 26:24

It's true. Yeah. And it is important if you come across those situations and you are feeling a little bit beat up and you need to take a break. There's no shame in taking a break. There's no shame of walking around and just say, I'm not there right now and putting an end to it. I mean, you gotta do everything to protect your heart too. And as Chris has said, you don't want to keep putting yourself up to be abused in some way. It's true.

SPEAKER_01 26:50

It's true.

SPEAKER_02 26:52

Well, is this the end, Michelle? I think it's the end. I've got to go pack here shortly because Chris and I, we are going to Seattle doing another little adventure, which we'll break down in future episodes, I'm sure. So stay tuned for that.

SPEAKER_01 27:12

And that hotel is old, so it's more than likely gonna be haunted. You know, we go and stay at these hotels where oh, they say it's haunted, and then so many other places that do not advertise haunting. Someone's visiting me in the middle of the night. Oh, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_00 27:29

I gotta get you guys over to the East Coast one of these days because I just found an entire road trip in New Hampshire to visit the most haunted places. I love it. And when it's beautiful there.

SPEAKER_02 27:42

Yeah, I just have to share when Krissa talks about hotels that are haunted. We're staying at a very nice hotel. It's not like it's old though. The building is old.

SPEAKER_01 27:53

Seattle is old. It's not super nice.

SPEAKER_02 27:57

I think it's super nice. It's not super nice. The cost of it tells me it's nice.

SPEAKER_01 28:05

Well, yeah, because it's anything Seattle, Chicago, New York, San Francisco are expensive. Yeah. Okay.

SPEAKER_02 28:14

Well, why don't you take us out of this episode, Stacey? Stay classy. Stay sassy. Stay badassy. Until next time, everyone. Bye. Bye.
