Oh, you're so sweet. Good. How are you? I am very good, Shanna. I love your name. Marielle, like Ariel. Did you say like Ariel? Ariel was one of my angels many, many, many moons ago when I started out on this ascension path. I'm curious.

Tell me about that. Like, how did she introduce herself to you? Well, would you believe it was just an amazing, I was at a workshop. This is going back many moons ago now, Shanna. I had seen this lady. She was promoting her IET workshops, integrative energy therapy workshops. All of a sudden, I see this beautiful angel and and I said I know you I I know you I went over and I really looked at this photograph and I said

I know you we need to reconnect so I joined up for the program and it was miles and miles it was five hours from where I lived every three weeks and when we were doing the program this guy comes over to me and he said he was attending the workshop as well he said um does anything familiar resound in you he says and I says I'm not sure what you mean and he said look at the photograph look at you you look the exact same he said now look at the photograph. Look at you. You look the exact same, he said. Now, that was many moons ago, Sean. I look very different now. Well, actually, I can't see you.

Oh, you can't see me, love? No. Hold on. Sorry, darling. There you are. There we go. Okay, let me tell you. I have never been familiar with any goddesses I'm from a

Catholic background I stick to the archangels and Jesus and God and my ancestors started to come oh yeah he's oh that's a good one yeah that's a more modern Yeshua wow that's beautiful I'm also into the 21st century so I think he got he got a makeover he got a makeover but Mariel what happened is first Bridget came to me and Mandy both I mean just over just over and over and over. She wanted to be heard. And then I had the most amazing experience with her, my grandmother and my great grandmother. And it was about my mother. It was about the triple goddess. One of the coolest experiences. Then recently I've had Sophia, Pistis Sophia. yeah right that's Sophia I've been on that kick so Sophia

I'm familiar with it is one with the archetype archangels she's the goddess of compassion yeah it's like an ascended master name and it is the goddess power. There are so many of them, Shana. So one day I was working on a client and I channel like these meditations for each client. Like I'm visualizing and I tell them what I see. I just take them on a journey. And then a lot of times, usually it's ancestors that come through. So I was like, there's a Tara here, and I'm talking about passion, empathy, and all this stuff. And this girl is such an empath. And

I told her that it is her strength, and she sees it as a weakness. She needs to really use it as her strength. Then I start feeling Bridget come through, and she was talking about this girl also takes the mother role in her family and that she doesn't ever ask for help or stuff like that. And she's doing more than she should. So I'm telling her all these things and I get out my deck because I had gotten that keepers of light deck and I'd only used it. Oh, I've only used it once. and I'm looking for the Bridget card to show her Bridget and sure enough there was a Tara and I didn't know they were a Votara really yeah so I mean just stuff like that I never even heard of them and you see Shana it's about you're a pure channel you're an undiluted pure channel you get out of the way and you allow spirit to move through you.

Yeah. And it's called goddess. Yeah. Isn't that amazing? And you see, part of my work with my workshops is bringing in the balance of the divine masculine and the divine feminine even though we need to anchor and activate the god the goddess the priest the priestess energies in a balanced way but we had lost we lost the goddess power over ions and we need to reclaim it now but it's about bringing the balance as well so that we don't that the goddess energy doesn't become an ego power hungry animal that's going to put down the divine masculine because while we were put down we must be very aware that we don't repeat the passion oh that's a good point and you know and that's a good point. And, you know, and that's what Sophia is the feminine of God energy, you know, of that. And so I've, I've read the pistis Sophia. I'm reading the keys of Enoch and having JJ, her talk and Desiree, his wife on our podcast to talk about that because I just went down this new rabbit hole of information I hadn't received

before. And when it's there in front of me and it keeps coming and keeps coming and keeps coming, it's like the universe wants me to know these things, God or source or however you see it. But I have been such a seeker throughout my life it seems like you have too even as a child with catholic roots I still was a seeker then what I was experiencing with the holy spirit that too was undeniable a feeling source and spirit see so here I'm going to call you Sophie now oh my goodness they're at it. And I'm looking up at my living Christ picture. Oh, my God. And I call you Sophie. Well, the one behind you is the one that I keep looking at. Oh, that's the chart of the divine I am presence, the highest aspect of our soul, that we're still connected to the master energy the universal god energy here as we the mere mortal that we never

forget that our lineage to the creator god it's i love that one but i have a beautiful living christ one in front of me and keep on calling yourself here now and uh but going back to the catholic um you see i got in so much trouble, even as a young girl, because I was taught by nuns. And the nuns were always condemning. You're going to burn in hell. You're a bad, bad. There was no room for love and light and compassion. And I always argued with the nuns, even when I was so small. I used to say, no, no, that's not the God I know used to say no no that's not the god I know no no that's not the god I know and how would you know because I just know that's not the god I know and I would end up they would put me behind there were massive big black boards and I would be put behind that

all day and a dancer's hat on my head yes that's where I spent a lot of my time yeah I'm from Louisiana so in Louisiana that is where Catholicism first arrived okay so I had very very deep roots in Catholicism yes it was France for you know years in fact I ended up discovering that in my ancestry they were forced to be Catholic I mean you literally couldn't get on the boat unless you were right there baptized if you were not already Catholic never heard that it was in their law it was in the French law and the black code for the slaves I mean you know I ended up having a lot of French Creole in me, which was like a mix. And even though the races were mixed, what else happened was the religions and their belief systems were mixed as well. Yeah, of course. So I have from Haiti, a lineage of voodoo, really just a shamanic practice, ancient indigenous old practice of holistic stuff I mean much of what I

do is what I'm even getting ghost temples listening to you they had to they had to invite the saints in and you know because they needed to make it relatable if they were going to work with people so Marie Laveau who was the voodoo queen of New Orleans, the first one, the high priestess, she was an aunt in my lineage where my grandmother and her shared the same father. And she was known as the sainted woman, but even though she did her voodoo, she also was very dedicated to the Catholic religion, one in the saints and all these things and you know some people feared her because they you know she was different they thought yeah that she might cast a spell probably right which she probably could you know and did there was a three-page obituary on her.

Oh, wow. Because she did so much good, you know, and it was the archdiocese who actually gave her service. But if you look in some newspapers, it's like she was like the devil woman. Yeah, of course. But even from me and my work, even going back, say, 30 years ago, because I was working with ascension angels and guides and ascended masters. And I was known as the witch on the hill. There was people that would bless them. It's amazing when you bless them in love and light that they eventually come to your door and look for help.

It's just I think this is part of our initiation here on earth as well and it's not getting easier it's getting more challenging as we as the light workers were and the light bringers I find more challenge like we're going into quicksand again well I think that because now people are feared because they see the power of the light and the numbers, because there are so many awakening. Oh, yes. And I want to hear your story about how you have had a near-death experience. That's right. Had it started prior for you, or was that kind of the big light for you? Light, no more than you, Shona.

I was reared in a family of kind of psychic people. But that time in Ireland, it was like that. It was deemed as the devil's work. And it was my grandmother. My grandmother was extremely psychic. And her mom before that had seven sons without a daughter. Then my grandmother had another son with seven sons. So there was a double gift of a seventh son within a seventh son.

And that was my uncle. I was conversing with angels and guides and I thought everybody could do it. I thought everybody was looking and talking to angels. I didn't care about being behind the blackboard. You know, I had my I had a great time myself. I didn't need the nuns. I didn't care. They thought they were punishing me.

In actual fact, they were giving me time to be in communication with my guides and angels. But it was only as I was, say, going into my teenagehood that I realized, no, not everybody is seeing what I'm seeing. Then I thought I was, oh, my God, was there something wrong with me and then when I was 15 15 16 I had my first incredible uh spiritual experience where mother Mary appeared to me in an old grotto incredible and I keep her with me all the time because she's one of the ascended masters that work with me say hello to Shauna oh my gosh I am freaking out at the moment because I feel like I'm having like the biggest deja vu right now. Look, earlier I was doing my meditations. And I, you know, it's so important for me that there is a union of souls. And I was sending my angels and guides to

connect with yours and Mandy, so that we would have the most profound soulful engagement and it's happening already yeah that's yeah it's you know those feelings you're like wait yeah wait did I already talk to her about this it's like when I saw the photograph of Archangel Ariel I said I know you I know you but it is amazing. And the work that is now coming to light and those that are awakening, and I've been told more recently by my guides, when I'm very passionate about things, I find it so important to try and empower others, awaken others, instillill you know the power of the divine in others and I have found more recently that it's like there is nobody home anymore it's like in in the mind and body and the spirit seems to be gone to sleep again and I've been very sad about that that has really really saddened me over

the last year two years in particular and I'm sure you've felt the impact as well and I've been told by my guides that those that are awake are awake now I cannot bring anybody else with me it's time to work with the awakened I know we are divine channels and we're the light bringers and the light bearers and it is so powerful and it's it's a huge huge mission for us to deliver because now the times as we know where this is the one of the biggest biggest spiritual battles in the history of humanity what's happening all of us right now, and what we're in right now. I find that hard. And I have asked my guys, well, you know, when is when? Okay, God, and I talk to God every day, of course I do. And I have a beautiful channel called Gary Aniel. She's, she was way before

biblical times who have been working with me. And I'm saying, okay saying okay you know I'm getting a bit tired here he needs to step in now I have been really really told that I have to trust that a certain amount of this has to play out now because the dark is quite busy this is it's playground right now but the light the light will step in and the light will overcome and overthrow like it did many, many millennia ago. But I suppose I'm a bit impatient. I like things that yesterday. Yeah, you know, and I feel like that, too. I feel like there's so many very important, deep things going on. And I was, you know, I think about that because I'm like, I know for sure for myself, like I'm being led down all of these avenues that I've never ever heard before.

But then there's also been some very dark ones that I feel like I needed to be aware of, which is why the information came to me. Yes course I tried to keep my discernment I tried to say how does this align with me even if it even if everyone in the world thinks it's real and right which is much like religion yeah of course you know how do I feel about it that's the one thing I feel like was lacking is that experience that you can actually speak from. Yes. And that's the other thing my guys have said to me. And the word they did use the law of discernment. And it is like, you don't need to look outside of yourself. You don't need to look at leaders or papers or media. Go within. The answers are always there.

Yeah. I look at this as a global thing. We need to heal from the inside out, even globally. And we're all interconnected, you see. We're all part of the whole. And we're all part of this this group global consciousness you know if a polar bear sneezes in the antarctic a green ascent moves in the sahara and i mean that we are all part of this fabric of life and we're all we're all threads in that tapestry creating this life so it is

every single the the plants the animals the seas the oceans the skies we're all into that we're all part of it what do you know what is your part I know on your website you offer so many beautiful workshops I mean you are I mean for people who are grieving they lose their child or their loved one and they are so desperate to connect. But that grief is such a heavy, dense, low vibration. Sometimes it's hard to connect. For years in Ireland, it was, you know, you didn't talk about your grieving. Women covered the mirrors and our men in their homes they turned them into the wall

they they women wore black clothes in mourning for a year and I mean yes it was part of our culture and there are many different cultures that express their grief very very differently but you know that was not healthy. That was really, really bringing yourself into the dungeon of iniquity. I know. And so final too. Death is not the end. It is nothing more than a transition. Absolutely. And you see, I've trained as a shaman as well. And I am a spirit midwife. What I have witnessed and seen with my third eye and been present at the bedside of somebody about to make their transition it is such a sacred thing to witness it's it's it's just like birth you know what my guides have said to me that it's birth

is far more difficult than it is to die coming into the world is is far more challenging because we have to go through different stages and phases coming into the birth canal and getting into the that void of nothingness because the baby as such or shall we say the soul has to go through the veil of forgetfulness so that it forgets all the passions and the programs of previous incarnations and that has that deep programming and and that veil of forgetfulness all happens within the womb until the birthday so that's why sometimes it takes so long for the process to occur or that's why they still come in, maybe, because they kept some of that with them. I mean, my little girl, until she was five, had we called two past lives with names and locations.

That's amazing, because what happens there is, is when we are out of the womb and beginning to be individuated separately from mother, the baby, the soul, awakens to the earth plane, which is quite dense compared to the level it has come from. The heavenly realm is very, very high. It's huge, huge vibration. Earth, we're still fluctuating between third dimension and fifth. Some of us are awakening, and hopefully we're getting more towards between third dimension and fifth some of us are awakening and hopefully

we're getting more towards the fifth dimensional frequency but children have huge recall and some are coming in with vivid recall of past lives I think more than ever right now unless I mean I have kids in different generations so I have kids from 24 to nine. So my nine-year-old is a whole nother seed. Okay. And they all seem to be that way. Every little friend that comes over here that she has, I'm like, this is incredible. But he's 10.

I actually think that they, as we we all know we all choose our parents we choose them long before we come on earth so i think what's happening now a lot of these very awakened enlightened children they are choosing the parents that will best serve them on their sole purpose. So do you still have these little ones that are being born awakened? Yes, yes. That's the way I see it because they need the guidance. They need the spiritual compass that has been pre-planned for them and preordained. And it's always, always in the psychic now of the parents. And in particular, the mother energy, which as we spoke about the goddess but then again in saying that i'm being reminded now

by spirit as we're speaking not all children that are incarnating now are all not all of them are awakened not all of them come in with their intuition and psychic gifts and spiritual talents so only some are choosing but there is a lot on the earth right now there is also a lot of christian children coming in they are coming in the crystal children that are coming in their new souls on earth they have no karma there have no past incarnations and they're coming in with pure, pure crystalline energy in their energy fields. And that is to bring love, compassion,

and total awareness to humanity. All fifth, sixth, and seventh, even the ninth dimensional beings, they're very in tune with the angelic realm they're also in tune with the elemental realm like the unicorns the mermaids the salimand yeah all of the earth creatures as well my father used to tell incredible stories about the fairies coming from Ireland especially right yeah there's a connection there is huge you see because it's it's it has huge mystery and folklore and steeped in mythology, steeped like leprechauns and the little people. Right. You know, so I was reared with that type of energy as well, which is I think we're losing that magic now.

Right. So I was reared into this family of psychic gifted people but that time you had to be so careful my grandmother used to let them in the back door there was no entry through the front door because if people saw her doing readings for people or doing healings with people it was going to the priest was going to be told about this woman you know suppose I learned to be very discerning even with my own guests and and that is why when it came to studying at school and all of that I always prayed to my angels my guides and I always felt their presence I could see them I could hear them I was always getting downloads of even how to answer my questions which I would have studied for in my exams so then when I after having my huge spiritual

awakening with the beautiful mother Mary I decided then that I was going to totally focus on science so when I went to college I studied the sciences and I became a serologist. So in that way, I was kind of bringing a balance to the right side, the logical side of my brain. I mean, I was pure science, never lost my connection with my guides or my angels. And Mother Mary became very, very significant in my daily living in my daily life. And then in 1992, I was diagnosed with advanced cervical cancer. And at that stage, it didn't faze me. I wasn't worried because I was at that time, I was living in a very, very unhappy marriage. And in Ireland, we had no divorce, we had only initiated separation laws it would still take

four years nearly for you to become separated but not divorced so that time I was as I said living in a very unhappy marriage and bless my ex-husband he has been my gracious teacher on the mother earth because one of the things I have written about is love and compassion and forgiveness so I learned through him many years later now forgiveness it didn't happen there on the spot when I was in theater I was obviously on the operating table and all of a sudden I'm floating and I'm on the ceiling and I'm looking down at this one and I'm saying God she looks awfully like me what's all the fuss about and I just said to myself I'm so happy I'm free I feel no pain I feel peaceful I feel contentment. I have no fear. So I felt so, so beautiful at peace and at one.

And then it was like a whirlpool. I didn't see this tunnel and I wasn't brought through the tunnel. It was a huge whirlpool of all this kaleidoscope of color. And I was pulled right into the center of it. It was like the nucleus of a cell bringing in the science again I was bathed in this beautiful blissful love it was pure love I never ever ever experienced such love and the music I heard was out of this world I will never hear it again until I make my transition to the other side. And then I was being pulled further into this whirlpool.

And then out of this kind of like golden mist, this hand presents itself like a stop sign, like go no further. All I remember then being kind of like a tug and being back in my body. And I hear the doctor saying, she's back. We've got her back. So that was just an incredible. And three days later when the surgeon was, obviously he had been around before. And he said, you're one lucky lady that we got you back.

And I said, why the hell didn't you just leave me there? I was quite happy. I was fine. So that bliss, that peace, that love, the hell didn't you just leave me there I was quite happy I was I was fine so it you know that bliss that peace that love the music I I've never forgotten it and three months later I wanted to be in that space again I had all the intentions of ending my life because I was still back in my unhappy surroundings. I had decided I'm leaving this world. The pain and the darkness that I was living in was too much to bear. So then I said, this is it. I'm out of this. I'm out of it. And then the secrecy of not being able

to tell anybody. It was, I don't know whether I was being loyal to a marriage that was no longer there or whether I was just ashamed of telling the truth so I was going out that door at about it was about two or ten past two that's all I know that hour of the morning I would have had my mind made up I was going to drive into the docklands and this docklands had no no protective barriers at that time it was just you would drive in and there had been so many accidents and so many people had lost their lives because when you come under a bridge there isn't there was no warning signs there was nothing you were right into the sea so I had said yes I'll put my foot in the accelerator under the bridge I'll close my eyes and all will be over and I was twisting the knob of the door to go out to get into the car and the

same hand presents itself but this time my father my father lit up the whole door and he said Molly could you keep your powder dry that's an old Irish saying in other words don't get your nings in a twist you know and there are three hours the next thing I know it is about it's after 5 a.m in the morning I'm sitting on the couch in the sitting room I'm frozen solid I'm shaking my teeth are gnashing and the realization that I was going to end my life and leave my three babies in their bedrooms. And I had all I wanted to get rid of the pain. But I have asked spirits since what happened to me during and power to do what I needed to do next. So the next day was the beginning of a very long journey.

Legally, six and a half years. I had the courage then to go to lawyer and the rest is history and then that's where my journey my total healing journey began then from there on wow very powerful the near-death experience and then also the second piece of that because I can totally relate you know I had two near-death experiences. I love hearing other people's because you hear the similarities. And when you described that golden dust, I always tell people, you know, I saw the same thing. I'm really sad that I didn't hear the music. We had on David Ditchfield who heard the music and Eben Alexander who heard the music. What did the music sound like to you?

Put it this way, Mandy. Out of this world, I have tried to find, I love Tibetan music. I do mantras and vocations. I've tried every culture that is possible that has all this beautiful music. Diva, Krimimo, all of those, I can never, ever, ever. Have you heard of the J.J. Kirtock Keys of Enoch website? Their music is the chanting of the different names of God. Oh, wow. Oh, no. But you know what's on my bucket list? I'll send it to you. Oh, that'd be brilliant. I'm all goose pimples. I'm all excited. Yeah, I found it. Yeah, I found it because, you know, we've been preparing to

have them on because I want to make sure I ask him the best questions ever. And I found the music and I listened to it and it is pretty divine. You'll have to let me know. I'll send it to you. Oh, that'd be, oh, I would would love it I'm all excited now because I have tried I have kind of stopped looking now because I can still feel it in my soul of course I can yeah I can still feel it and it's there and it is like I've one thing about this and then I was on a panel with uh Dr. Peter Fenwickwick a few weeks back and he's just amazing it was like meeting my my god on earth and because he's done the huge research into near-death experience over 40 plus years with children and their near-death experiences and

he has done huge incredible studies but I said to him when he you know I said I don't know why he called it the near-death experience I said I mean when you're dead you're dead I mean I was pronounced dead my heart had stopped my brain had ceased to function my pulse was gone I said I was dead why are they calling it the near-death experience and he just took a little laugh and he says very good question Mari he oh he says you know but he says I suppose now he says with all the advancements in medical technology that one can be resolved much more easily now you know and he says probably that's why I think about it I said you know so I mean, it is an incredible, as you know, Mandy, it's

the fear of death totally goes after having the death experience. It totally goes. And I think that is the one thing when I'm in my workshops, especially when I'm running the loved ones whisper away and teaching people how to connect with your loved ones. It is like the biggest fear they all have is the fear of dying. And it is it's it's so sad. And that is what I find to when I'm at the bedside of the dying. And when I'm called in as the spirit midwife it is so sad to see such fear and what I have what I've really really discovered in the last few years that those that have some kind of a belief systems that believe in some kind of a religion they eventually surrender much easier to to the afterlife they surrender to the death process those that have no faith path no belief in anything and they they hold on they they fight it they fight the end they fight the dying because they're afraid of the unknown. And that is why I think it's so important that we try and educate,

you know, people that this is a process. We have done this before. We have had many incarnations, a lot of us, not the new Christian children that are coming in, but a lot of us have had many, many, many lifetimes. And we're, we're trying to master the unfinished business that we didn't master in the previous lifetimes and we're we're trying to master the unfinished business that we didn't master in the previous lifetimes so I think it is so important that we could be the light for those that are afraid to die show them and and give them the information like

I have in my book where after you the scientific, the medical and the spiritual experiences that I've had with clients, the experiences that I have witnessed at the bedside of the dying has been so beautiful. And so, oh, my God, to witness to be a witness to this is such a blessing. And it's a humbling experience, you know, and I'm sure you would have heard of different things where people you know that they're in a state of total unconsciousness and all of a sudden they would just rise up in their bed and they would just reach out into something they're seeing somebody somebody is calling them but it's like yeah and I have seen this many many times it's not just really yeah oh yes it's incredible and it's like I can see that they the veil between the two worlds part it's like a

curtain opening and I've never seen that but wow that would be so they literally are like lifting out their arms like they're welcoming something. They see, they see their loved ones. And that's another thing. It's so important to reassure people that nobody, nobody, and this is what my guides also have really reassured me. Nobody, nobody dies for the want of a better word alone. Every single person is brought across by somebody that has already passed, somebody that is familiar to them, a saint, a holy one, an angel, an archangel,

or someone that's of huge importance. Nobody makes that journey to the other side. And the angels of transition, the archangel Azrael and angel gabriel even though gabriel is for births as well he's also present at the bedside of the dying to bring the soul across the veil also do you work with um that i don't even really know him but his name keeps coming up for me in my mind it's just there that um melchized. Melchizedek he's the order of the priesthood and he's just an incredible he actually works with my hubby believe it or not and hubby number two and he is an

amazing ascended master and he works with the masculine energy that we spoke about earlier. And as I said, he works with the order of the priesthood. So he is, and because I had seen an image of this guy weeks and weeks after I had seen the image of Archangel Ariel, and I kind of dismissed him. He was on somebody's altar. And my husband, who was in training at the time now he's a clinical or he's a counseling psychologist but he loves the he loves all the healing modalities and he uses them as well it's amazing where psychology fails healing and the intuitive side of him really works. So this guy was looking at him through meditation. He was on top of this mountain and Lord Melchizedek came to him and he said he was going to work with him from now on if he was open to receiving his essence

and energy. So when he's stuck in a counseling session session he will call on Lord Melchizedek to open the pathways between them and it always works not amazing I just think I find it so amazing that the gods and goddesses have come to you very similar to Mandy and I and it's like you could read a book about him but you don't get to know him that way. Right. You don't even know they exist. I have a spirit guide named David, who is a mute monk from Austria. I mean, just random stuff.

Right. I feel sometimes that I'm unworthy to be this channel. This is something I need to overcome. This is one of my soul lessons here on this channel. This is something I need to overcome. This is one of my soul lessons here on this earth. I've come in with a mission and a soul purpose, but I've been recently told I'm coming, I have a God purpose also. And it is about, you know, especially in the last two years, every single one of us have gone through our different stages and phases of isolation, loneliness, losing loved ones. And it is about reconnecting with source energy, that God essence within us.

Up until the last two years, there was so many, so many that was so focused on materialism and acquiring more and more and they became disconnected from their pure source light which is the god essence that spark of divinity that's in all of us and we and when we came on earth that spark of god divinity was instilled within our souls. So we carry that. We carry that. But it's so easy through ego and through materialism, greed and power to think, well, I don't know who needs God. Who is God? You know, sure, I am a God in my own right. And it's only then when something, tragedy or an illness strikes then you start clawing back and realize what's

important what's of value and the most valuable thing in our lives is our soul work and our soul selves and that's the journey as well they they are the crosses, they are the initiations, the trials that are presented to us then in order to grow. You know, a lot of people think they have to have like this near-death experience to have this overwhelming oneness and feeling of love. Through this podcast, I've learned that a lot of people get that just through meditation, through astral travel, through just ego death, through different situations. And I think that it can happen more than once in someone's life in different manners. Some use ayahuasca, you know, there's all kinds of different ways. Since this happened to you, has it happened again in other ways? Oh, of course. And for me, it catapulted me on a journey of self-discovery. And, you know, the idea, I mean, as I said, having a science background and having

had my angels and guides and the beautiful Mother Mary, all was always there. I took them for granted, really. But I didn't know that peace that I felt in the heavenly realm that peace I had to rediscover it here on earth and recreate it right I knew nothing of meditation nada I had no idea what is meditation what's visualization what's mantras invocation so that somebody had gifted me with this with Louise Hay book you can heal your life and I had the greatest pleasure attending one of her workshops in when she first came to London many years ago yeah and I remember saying to her being able to say to her you know you saved my life because that was the book I learned the process of forgiveness and she's oh my god honey sure that's what we're here for

and oh my god I was so excited and all of her I was falling in love with her and and then I did many workshops with and study with Deepak Chopra the beautiful Wayne Dyer and then I studied with Dr. Brian West many lives many masters was a psychiatrist, as you're probably familiar with, and more than Dr. Iben Alexander, he was a he had, he was a neurosurgeon, he believed in nothing, only factual evidence. And I can understand that, coming from that background myself. And with Dr. Brian West, many lives, many many masters. He believed in absolutely nothing. And this 27-year-old Catherine presented to him who was having all these phobias, could not take medication. She was his last resort.

He was her last resort. And she had been in psychiatric units and she was just 27 years of age. So he started doing past life regression on her and then she like that she started revealing all this stuff in history that he could not figure out where is she getting this information from she would describe the terrain she would describe what she was wearing she would describe the language that she was speaking and that time there was no Mr Google so he'd have to come home and validate what she said through history books and he was still sitting on the fence of doubtfulness and then one day while she was in full-blown regression with him she came out of her trance and she said, by the way, she gave him this

information, which was only preppy to Dr. Brian Weiss and his wife and his young son that had passed. And she gave a huge, huge insight to the story. And he was just blown away. And he said to one of his colleagues, he said, you know, this lady is speaking in tongues I have never heard of. She has given me dates in history and time that I've never known about. But they are accurate and they are in the history books. So that's when his pure soul searched. He went from skeptic to total believer. No more than I've been alexander as well and there are many doctors like that and mandy you know but bless elizabeth google ross she pioneered all of this uh you know life after death and she believed that the soul lived on

and that's the thing we don't talk about any we don't talk about the soul who is the soul have we all sold what is sold and the soul is that whole that divine part of us even uh aristotle plato socrates they all and even going back to swedenberg then in the 1600s and descartes they all believed that the soul the one thing they agreed that even though there were centuries apart, that the soul was the most magnificent and divine part of our human psyche. And the soul is the essence of who we are. The soul is like our engine that gives us life. It's the chi, it's the life force that drives us in this human vehicle. And like what people are forgetting is we are spiritual beings and we come on earth and we occupy a human vessel, which is the body.

And the body is not us. It is the soul. And without the soul, we would be empty vessels. Wow. Oh, my God. I know. I was sitting there like wanting to raise my hands and dance around when you were talking I felt like I was in like a really good church session for a

moment but it's an isn't it beautiful the exchange we're able to have through the ethers and have that connection it's but then again it's the power of our intention and I spoke there earlier about forgiveness and that took me years to learn forgiveness and without forgiveness there is no healing and that I learned a long time ago to let go and let God because holding on to grudges I there was one of my clients he was my older he used to attend all my workshops and night classes he was in his late 70s an incredible soul never understood why he came to the classes but I always loved the male energy as I spoke to you earlier Shanna about the divine masculine and divine feminine balance. But he was just a

beautiful energy, a very strong, beautiful man. And then for some weeks, he didn't turn up. And then I get a phone call and he said, Christ, Marielle, he says, I'm in a bad way. And I said, really, Barney? And he said, yes. He said, I haven't got good news he says can I come and see you I said of course so he came to see me and told me he had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and he had six weeks left to live and okay I said right we'll put that energy into getting you ready for the afterlife forget about the past but we'll start bringing healing to the past. To discover there was an unsolved family issue. As in Ireland, all was about land.

The green pastures have caused so much trouble in our history, you know? And there was a brother, he hadn't spoken for over 40 years because of a problem between his father and the land and this other brother and that time we spoke earlier about visualizations and meditation and I brought I was guided with permission of the soul I always seek permission from the soul of the person that's before me either the soul that's going through a healing or the soul that's about to make their transition.

It's so important. I will not interfere with the physical body, not unless the soul allows me to. So I was guided like that to bring him on a journey and did not know where this journey was going and brought him into the afterlife. And I knew there was this incredible exchange happening because I could see it in my third eye. It was like a television before me. And afterwards,

he put his hand up to his head and he said, Christ, he says, I'm after being in the grandest place. He says, the grandest place. And he says says I met my father and my father asked me to forgive him for what he did wrong all those years ago that he was sorry he didn't know any different but he said will you please make it up with your brother before I come and take you to the other side and then he said to me Barney says and didn't I meet my two dogs Bonnie implied and I went oh my god and these were his two sheep dogs that he used to have on the land right so I got a phone call from his wife just about the six weeks later to say that he had passed and that his brother was at his bedside when he was passing.

So this is the beautiful healing for forgiveness as well, because it's much easier to forgive this side of the veil. Yes, I would agree. And I hear a lot of names like death doulas, but I loved what you called that earlier. You called it a spiritual midwife. I love that. but do you know somebody said to me are you a doula and I says I don't know I really don't know I said this is a name that was given to me and when I asked my guides why where did this come from apparently 500 years ago I was a spirit midwife in England and that time in it I was born into a psychic family and from a very early stage I showed this psychic ability and that time in England anyone that had psychic gifts were deemed witches and were burnt at the stake or they were murdered right so in order to protect me, my family sent me into a nunnery for the rest of my life.

And my role was spirit midwife to hand them. And I was shown hands coming out through the veil, the spirit hand and the physical hand meeting through the veil. And they were being handed across. And that's how I was deemed. I have been shown similar with myself. Well, in a past life regression, I was in like this convent of nuns and it was in the 1400s or something like that. And 1432, it was in Austria.

And what was very interesting is it was so old. They didn't have windows, but I did not want to be there though. And I was starving and I was a Franciscan one. And when I, and wait, I didn't even know what a Franciscan was. I literally, I came out and I was like, Francisco, maybe being able to kind of sit back and listen to you guys for the first 30 minutes is so gone. The directions our listeners have been asking about. I did a poll on our Patreon asking what they'd want to learn more about and spirit guides kept coming up. So I love that you have so much experience with us because that's where our listeners are wanting to learn more. I know for me myself growing up, I had never heard the word spirit guide. And I always thought as guides

as either God, angels, or loved ones that had passed away. And I think that people have a hard time figuring out how they can reach their guides, how they can know their guides, how they can put names to their guides, because we've been conditioned so much to ignore what people call our imagination that I believe is more of a reality. So what advice would you give to our listeners on being able to really like tune in and get to know who their guides are? Okay, first of all, it's the power of your intention if you really with all your heart and soul you want to make that divine connection with somebody be it an angel an archangel a guide a saint a wise one a holy one an ascended master set your intention create the sacred space light a candle put on music that has no words to it, and just turn off your phone. Be in a position

of receiving and ask whoever you may or may not believe in. Say, look, guys, I'm here now, and I'm going to sit, and I don't really know do I believe in you or maybe I do believe in you and I just don't know where to start teach me show me the way I am open to receiving and then it's amazing it's like when I'm teaching people how to connect with their loved one in spirit world and it's even the biggest skeptic when they really with all their their heart, they want to make that connection. And when they open their heart, it's amazing how they feel the energy of their loved one with them. And for me, when Mother Mary is forever present and my guides, Archangel Zedkiel of the Violet Flame came into my life in 2008 and a wonderful ascended master as well and it is just about being in receiving mode but and it's about switching your channel if

you're sitting down at night and say your husband is watching CNN news right and you want to watch say a different channel like I don't know what you have there like a BBC channel And you want to watch, say, a different channel, like, I don't know what you had there, like a BBC channel. So you have to compromise. You can't watch both at the same time. So what do you do? You switch the channel. So our vibration is, as I was saying earlier, we're fluctuating between third and hopefully striving to get into fifth dimensional being. And we have to switch our own channel. And by doing that, we have to be in a peaceful place. No external noise, no noise in the background that would disturb you. you and it's about closing your eyes and asking the presence of God and whoever is there that is

for you to step forward thank you for that I think that's going to be really helpful yeah and so important Mandy not to try too hard not to force it and when you least expect it then it will happen try not to force it you said the violet flame and you know i always connected that with saint germain yes saint germain and archangel zeitgeist they managed it together and there is huge healing properties with the violet flame the violet flame we entered into the earth's atmosphere after the harmonic convergence in 1987. And it had been withdrawn from the earth because of what? Mankind was using it for instead of good, but for power and greed. It was withdrawn over 2000 years ago and in 1987 because pockets of people all over the globe sat in meditation like the Wieseck Valley like the Fenthorn in Scotland like the Himalayas

and Mount Shasta I was there yeah of course and had an incredible experience there and the violet flame was given back to mankind and it was going to be the most powerful healing ray for the next 2000 years so I always send that if somebody is going into a hospital or if I know they're having surgery say that day I will send it to the place into every every floor every corridor every room above below north south east, north, south, east, and west, and all around to cleanse and clear it so that the place is pure, pure violet transmutational light. So I'm curious, does Mary and Jesus as guides for you come up as a biblical character, or are they different for you?'s amazing I was shown earlier I have

modernized my yeshweh he's always handsome he's like George Clooney isn't he you know that reminds me I wanted to tell you that your book cover it was captivating it like brought me in yeah I was mesmerized by of course the art but that violet color and um it's it was just there's certain books that I look at that I just you know glance and and go on uh yours it was like it brought me into it well Mandy I have to thank I have a very gifted daughter she's one of the indigo the late indigo children and she is just an incredible soul and she for years and years has been designing covers for my classes and she said for god's sake mom no more feathers no more clouds no more staircases to heaven none she says let me do yeah she says leave this to me she bought the copyright nicola bless her i send her so much love she bought the

copyright for that and it's the minute one of my pure psychic friends who who deals with soul retrieval like myself she said oh my god the levels and the layers, she said, of our spiritual soul is there. And she said, it's timeless. You know, there is no time we're immortal, we never die. She could see all of this. And I was Oh, my God, yes. And bless my daughter, Nicola for that. She's very gifted. but like that, she chooses to keep it shut down for quite some time. So your book, Whereafter, you know, there are a lot of books about near death experiences. What makes your book different than the other ones that they could choose from? Okay. And you know, I never intended to write a book. I mean, I have written many articles.

I would have written for newspapers and magazines and all of that. But the spirits, isn't it amazing the way they get my attention and our attention when we're not listening? So in 2018, I had a major ski accident on a mountain in Spain, and I was rendered totally paralyzed and unable to walk for five months and during those months while I was looking up at this ceiling my in the middle of the night where I'm always disturbed by my beautiful friends angelic friends they said you know they started showing me a pyramid and there there was the spiritual, there was the scientific, and there was the medical. And I said, what are you showing me? And they said, you need to write this because people will equate with it.

And then I was seeing the board, and there was the different aspects of the scientific, the proof by all the wonderful scientists and physicists of the world, the most renowned ones, going back to Einstein Swedenberg you know that these people believed in afterlife and that they had the evidential proof that the afterlife existed then there was the on the other prong was the medical and about all the wonderful doctors that have now endorsed the huge proof that afterlife is a real, it's no longer a phenomena, it is a real. To make it more real as well, I was bringing my own spiritual experiences with clients over the years and my journey with them.

And that is why it's very easy to read. And then there are techniques for anybody who has lost a loved one and there is children involved techniques how to work with them without non you know, without the language in using nonverbal tools. There is beautiful stories with people that have transitioned through suicide, that they are still brought home into the light. They are not judged to hell's fire and condemnation. I hate when I hear that. Yes. So I'm navigating the chapters, waters of grief as well. And there's beautiful things that were downloaded to me, affirmations as well. But it's very easily read. There's fabulous stories about love and forgiveness. The scientific model is there, the medical, but it's very easy, very easy to read. So that's why I think it makes it easier. And it shows that the afterlife is real. It is not a figment of

one's imagination or a phenomenon that yet needs to be proved. It's there. So tell our listeners the full title of your book. It's Where After. Where After. Where do our loved ones go after they die? And it can be bought on any of the global Amazons. John Hunt Publishers. And my website is www.marielfordclark.com. And all my social media platforms are linked into that as well.

Awesome. You know, I think this book is about timing too, because I know a lot of people that are suffering right now. And there's a lot of impacts right now that I've been interacting with that are being set back into a place of depression because, you know, we're seeing a lot of death around the world. We're hearing about it on the news a lot. There's just a lot of mental illness and addictions that are rising. And so a lot of people who just take that on like their own are really hurting right now. And I think that the one thing about me and you is our message as people that have had near death experiences is that we get to bring hope to people and let them know that on personal experience, people, there is a beautiful afterlife waiting for every single person on earth. And everybody transitions to the afterlife, Mandy, irregardless of religion creed race or age it doesn't matter

we all make that transition and we go to that afterlife to the level of consciousness that we had here on earth yes i got chills all over my body and so you teach this you teach this right well frankly now you see i was doing all of these live with live audiences, live participants. The last two years, I've been cancelling, waiting and cancelling. So I think my next step is to put them on Zoom. But there is something lovely about when you're having an audience that you can be there physically and you can hug them and squeeze them and hold them yes and read them not so much not so much what they're saying reading the language reading the body seeing the soul how is it yeah yes and now it's time for break that shit down.

What I'm really being guided and what I'm being shown by my guide right now is the beautiful meaning of namaste. And namaste is I honor the place in each of you listeners where the entire universe dwells. I honor the place in each of you, which is of love, light, truth, and peace. When you are in that place in you and I am in that place in me, we are one. Namaste, my angels. Whoa, that might have been one of my most favorite BTSDs. I loved that. That was beautiful.
