Lori: It's okay to be spiritual even if you're not religious. Don't have any crystals to put under the moon and don't have time to meditate.
00:00:10
Helen: Because that's when life gets fun, becomes fulfilling, and then you discover that it really is okay to be spiritual. This podcast is for entertainment purposes only.

00:00:39
Helen: I'm Helen
00:00:40
Lori: and I'm Lori.
00:00:42
Helen: And this episode is all about the signs and synchronicities we've had this week.
00:00:47
Lori: It is. So what have you been seeing, Helen?
00:00:50
Helen: Well, I actually have been getting a lot of ones, and I had a really important appointment that happened to get booked on the 11th of the 11th at 1:00. I thought that was a really good sign.
00:01:02
Lori: That's a really good sign.
00:01:04
Helen: It's either going to resolve really quickly or like there's going to be a lot of energy behind it. Or, you know, when we get the signs, we don't always know how it's going to unfold. But it felt like a really good positive sign.
00:01:19
Lori: Yeah. And so you've been getting ones I've been getting sevens and we get a lot of sevens when we're together, which we are starting to notice. Sevens and eights.
00:01:30
Helen: Yeah. We're going to tell you about a road trip in a minute. Yeah.
00:01:33
Lori: But my seven started when I made a purchase at Officeworks this week. And I had $71.77. And the song Hi Love, the Whitney Houston remix was playing. And so when you get numbers and you get a song that you've coded or that means something to you, I feel like there's just a little bit more oomph behind it, you know, so that that seven is lucky and, you know, like the work, you know, you're doing the work. It's going to land like. Keep the faith, keep your connection. We're here. We're guiding you. You know, like it's very, very lucky. Like, I feel blessed to get Seven's really?
00:02:10
Helen: I like that story. Can I add in the bit that you didn't sure that the guy at the checkout went. Oh, look at your amount. It's got a lot of sevens in it.
00:02:19
Lori: Yeah. So that's the thing to when you're receiving and you're open to receiving and you've asked to receive, the numbers are there. But if you keep missing them they will send a messenger to help you see them. So children are generally always really good messengers for me. But I missed it because it was a work purchase, so I wasn't too focused on the amount. And yeah, he had to make a comment about how many sevens were in my receipt. And then I just listen to the song, heard what he said and went, oh, thank you spirit.
00:02:47
Helen: Yeah. Yep. And saying thank you is such an important part. I can't stress that enough.
00:02:55
Lori: And not needing to know what it was for or where it's going either. Just the gratitude without needing to know. You know, it's about surrendering and just accepting the moment and feeling it and just riding on that high. Really?
00:03:08
Helen: Yeah. Why don't you think about it? You don't always have a purpose for talking with your friends, do you? You know, like we hang out with our friends and we just chat and we have a great time, and but there's not always, like, a clear meaning for every conversation we have. And we've got to remember, we're in conversation with spirit. There's not always going to be a like, oh, this means a lot, you know? Yeah, no, I can't think of something that's going to fall on my head.
00:03:35
Lori: Yeah. Or you might not know it at the time. I will say a lot of things and not remember that I've said them, and someone will come back and say to me, oh, man, when you told me this was going to happen and it was this day and I'd be, nope, I don't remember that conversation.
00:03:49
Helen: Oh, we had one of those. So, um, another girlfriend and I Jane House from Jane House wellness Studio. We ran our intuition workshop, and Lori had said to us, um, you know, a while back to before we set the date for the workshop, you had said to us, I don't know what it is, but something's going to happen for you, too, on the 16th. Um, and then we set the date and then, like, it was an amazing workshop. Went really well. And at the end of it, Janey and I looked at each other and went, oh, that's right, Lori told us. Lori told us.
00:04:23
Lori: But I didn't remember when you reminded me. So you will have conversations and not know what they're for, but the person that it's for will remember, you know, and it's just that reassurance and knowing that the conversations you're having and what you're seeing, it's all part of the bigger picture and the support that you're receiving. Um.
00:04:40
Helen: There's a, um, what do I call a jacaranda tree on the corner of our street? And as I turn to the street, a jacaranda flower fell on my windscreen. And I always just think that that's just like a little, a little like, oh, we're here with you. Yeah.
00:04:56
Lori: That's pretty.
00:04:57
Helen: It doesn't have a specific meaning as such. Do you remember all those times when we were at uni in Brisbane and like, there was that whole thing about if a jacaranda flower falls on your head, you're going to fail your exam or you're going to go really well in your exam. Do you remember that?
00:05:09
Lori: Sorry, that didn't happen at my uni, maybe I didn't.
00:05:13
Helen: You have jacaranda trees at your uni?
00:05:15
Lori: No, I was in the bush at Nathan.
00:05:17
Helen: Oh, well, there's so many jacaranda trees that you can think.
00:05:20
Lori: Yeah, okay. Yeah, I was at Griffith.
00:05:23
Helen: Anyway, so the whole, um. Jacaranda. Yeah. Flower falling on your head. Look, I don't know what it means, but it felt like a nice little. Don't worry. We're by your side.
00:05:33
Lori: That's cute. So I've also been seeing three, six, nine.
00:05:38
Helen: Oh, yeah, I like this.
00:05:39
Lori: So three, six, nine. If you know about numbers, this is a big one. And so it's Nikola Tesla's key to the universe. There's a lot more behind the number than I can explain or even comprehend.
00:05:53
Helen: Oh Mateo, if you have the time, there are some amazing YouTubes to watch on this topic that are detailed, mesmerising, magical and challenging.
00:06:04
Lori: Yeah, very challenging, but what you take from three, six, nine is the keys to the universe, so you're instantly manifesting. You can achieve it. Dream, believe, achieve. You know that little saying people like to hang around their house? That's three, six, nine, right? But it's almost instant. So there's an energy behind you and a forward momentum. And there's just all this, I don't know, like like you can almost create your dreams just by thinking them. So it started. It's been this is dropping in since May for me. And I didn't know what to do with it. And someone had said to me, you're getting three, six, nine. What do you what are you doing? Like, what are you going to do with that? And so they've been getting a lot more like you don't like calling it intense I call it it's there's a lot more than what you would expect. So I did a school drop the other day. It's A2K loop. I saw seven, 369 number plates. Whoa. That's a lot for me. I stayed at, uh, SeaWorld for a work trip a week or two ago. We were in room 3069. So I love the room numbers. Take take me to an apartment. And the most exciting bit for me isn't the view of the beach. It's the room that we get allocated. And then at that, give her a shitty.
00:07:18
Helen: Room, but a good number and she'll be happy.
00:07:20
Lori: I'll be happy. Cloud nine. I'm easily pleased. And at breakfast that morning, a guy walked past with the Lakers shirt and there was a player called daze. I'm not sure who it is.
00:07:30
Helen: Oh, that reminds me to tell the shirt story. Sorry. Yeah.
00:07:34
Lori: Anyway, so this shirt, my shirt was three days and three days from that was podcast release. Yes.
00:07:40
Helen: That was pretty amazing.
00:07:41
Lori: That was amazing. And then I had oh, I spent $63.96 at Woollies on the day the podcast was released. We then had a catch up the night of the 11th of the 11th. So our podcast release date and a Christmas beetle landed on my head in your office. And so we'd. We'd pointed out the scarab beetles on the front of the journey song Don't Stop Believing, which is one of my really top powerful synchronicity songs that drops in and absolutely just makes me trust in a deeper way than what I could possibly imagine. But that's another.
00:08:18
Helen: Um, story of like, the message coming through from a messenger because you'd never seen the scarab beetle before?
00:08:26
Lori: No. So I've been talking about this song since May with my friend who's a medium who also loves it. Like we send it to each other. We just vibe on it, you know? And then I showed it to you and we were talking about playlists, and that was the first thing you noticed. Mhm. And I'd never noticed that. And Carl Jung has a discussion or a topic about the scarab beetles. So there is a big spiritual energy about these beetles.
00:08:51
Helen: Egyptian.
00:08:52
Lori: Yes.
00:08:52
Helen: Traditions and meanings and everything. Yeah. That's huge.
00:08:55
Lori: Yeah. And so I didn't know about them but yeah, so Helen was my messenger for opening my eyes to. It wasn't just the song. There was also this whole other level on that song that I hadn't seen. Mhm.
00:09:09
Helen: Forgotten all about it until you just said the shirt. So I turned to a TV during like not at home but, and it was the end of a cricket match and I don't know what kind of, I don't follow cricket so I don't know what type of match it was. But the players all had numbers on their back, which I find quite unusual for cricket. But anyway, whatever. And right at the moment I looked at the screen, the player with number 88 was standing beside the player, number eight, and they both had their backs to the camera, so it just looked like 888.
00:09:41
Lori: Um.
00:09:42
Helen: Ah, that was really cool.
00:09:43
Lori: That's why I love going to the AFL too. I do that the whole game. I'll be like watching the scoreboard and seeing what they all add up to. And then yeah, you watch the players and there'll be a theme like if you're looking for it and it's for you, you'll see these things. Yeah.
00:09:58
Helen: And then shortly after the 888, this whole idea of something we could do on the podcast came through. So stay tuned. There's exciting stuff.
00:10:05
Lori: Coming. Yeah. We are. Yeah. The more we get into this, the more we're downloading. And then what we're seeing and feeling and showing each other the way through, I think, which I really like. Yeah. So after the three, six nines I decided I'm going to manifest something. Oh yeah. So I like I don't have anything in particular that I'd like in life, you know, like I'm very happy. I'm easily pleased. You know, I don't need fancy things. We have cars and houses and, you know, healthy, happy children and lots of love in the home. So I'm trying to have anything that I'm desiring from that aspect. But then I just thought, there's something that I've always wanted since I was about 18 years old. And my brother also wanted this same thing. So I'm not going to tell you what it is because I feel the story will unfold as it needs to. But my brother and I really want this thing, so we're working together to manifest it. So I'm working out a process and how I would do it and what I'm looking for. And then as we were talking about it, I realised my brother and I had a weekend in Brisbane back in June this year. And that weekend I got woken up to tradies on a construction site with the September song I that yeah, who's a by Earth wind fire, which is amazing right? Like we're talking about Earth, the elements you know there's so there's bigger things going on in every everything that happens. But so that's when I decided the dancing in September, the 21st of September song was going to be my key for something great is coming. You know, it's such a high vibrational song. It just lifts me up. So when I was with my brother, I decided that was my song, you know? So I coded that to the universe, said, send me this song when good stuff's about to drop in, you know? And then it dropped in not long ago that I spoke about on the last episode. And so my brother and I are messaging each other and as we're why messaging the song pops on my Taylor Swift playlist. So I'm a massive Taylor Swift fan. I'm not. Not a swiftie per se, but I really do love her music, and I saw her at the start of the year and listen to it a lot. So it was 11 hours and 50 minutes of this playlist, and the one minute that my brother and I are conversing saying, we're going to get this, this thing, I nearly said it. I kind of do this thing. And that song pops on and I just went, it's done. You know, this is absolutely going to happen for us. And then I started to go back in my mind and I thought, it's a Taylor Swift song. And then when my brother and I were on that same weekend, I noted there was a lot of Taylor's coming in. So we jumped on. A city cat called Taylor. Are not people? No, not people. I didn't see Taylor Swift that weekend, but I jumped on a kitty cat in the ring on the back had Taylor and it had A444, and that's what caught my attention. So I saw the 444 and then went, Taylor. Oh, and I just like mental noted it don't go through my phone because there's a lot of mental notes. And then the unit we were staying at had a tailor room because it had, you know, like in your.
00:13:07
Helen: Unit in.
00:13:08
Lori: The unit complex. Yeah. So there was a top floor that had a spa and all these private rooms you could rent. There was a Taylor room there. And then I this week I've seen my hairdresser three times because of taking my children. Her name is Taylor. And so there was this Taylor energy, and my brother and I had a joke. We went to Woodford and he was yelling at it. Someone who wasn't Jack Johnson to play Taylor as a joke, but. And so we just laughed like we laughed out so much that day. Like it's an ongoing joke with us that if we hear someone play, we just say, play. Taylor. And sorry, my brother says when we get this thing, we're calling it Taylor. So we're going to share Taylor when she arrives in a glorious form. And I'm excited.
00:13:53
Helen: I know, I'm.
00:13:54
Lori: So excited for this thing. It's gonna be great.
00:13:59
Helen: We will share it when it's time.
00:14:02
Lori: And, I mean, it might sound crazy, right? If you're if you're sitting there and you're going, look, she's. Why is she banging on about this, this Taylor thing? I don't know, it just feels like it's leading me there. Um, you know, I can't explain it. If you asked me why I saw A444 and then saw the Taylor name and took a photo and then realised in the building, I can't explain that. It's just my connection works like that, and it's just a knowing when I see it. And I might get a little rush, or there might be just something that happens in my body that makes me just mental note.
00:14:37
Helen: Yeah. And I think that's like, it's an important thing to say, right? Because we all get signs slightly differently. I do get signs like you do, but not as much. Mine are often more, um, bumping into a person and then the conversations. There's something about the conversation. More like interactions. Yes, whereas you're interacting with the universe as well, just in a different way. And so I think it's really great to stay open minded about how we receive signs and synchronicities, because it can be different for all of us. And that's perfectly okay.
00:15:12
Lori: Yeah I agree. Should we talk about John Edwards?
00:15:16
Helen: Yeah, let's talk about our road trip and John Edwards.
00:15:19
Lori: So let's let's go back to May when I purchased the tickets. So a friend of mine is a massive John Edwards fan. And he was bought tickets to the Melbourne show and said to me, you should go see him. He's amazing. You know, you'd love it. It's right up your alley. And I said to him, I don't have anyone to take, you know, I don't have a like minded spiritual friend. And we've spoken about how hard it was to me at the start, and I just didn't have people around me and my husband wouldn't really be into it. And we've got kids and logistics are difficult. But I just bought two tickets and I didn't know why I did that. That's not something I would normally do. I would never just buy tickets to something without someone to go with. And so I just bought two tickets and went. Universe, just bring me someone to take. You know, I trust that you will bring me someone. And I thought it was only, you know, it was under $200. So if it was a sad gamble, I wasn't that upset. But I sat at home and cried that night and didn't have anyone to take. I was okay with that. You know, financially it wasn't a massive investment. So I did it and I almost got I almost sold the tickets on ticket like ticket reuse, whatever the resale thing is. I got really close. Yeah, I got really close to trying to sell them because I just it was getting closer and I was like, I don't know, I'd forgotten about.
00:16:39
Helen: I turned up just in time, I know.
00:16:42
Lori: And I was I was like, I'm just going to sell the tickets. No one's turning up like, I haven't got my back at all. And I just had to. I just had a hold it just a little bit longer. And then I realised you were who I was taking to. Da. Yeah. And so I'd already mentioned it to you a couple of weeks ago. Right. Yeah, yeah.
00:17:00
Helen: And the funny thing was I was like, Who is John Edwards? Yeah. Was there a book like, years ago?
00:17:07
Lori: Yeah. And so he's the crossing over guy in America. He had a TV show. Was it 20 years ago? He said?
00:17:15
Helen: I think so, yeah. Not a John Edwards junkie.
00:17:18
Lori: And neither was I, really. But I really wanted to go just to see. So that's a medium working in a platform. So our platform is where a medium will stand in front of a big crowd and just receive and then work out who it's for.
00:17:30
Helen: Mhm.
00:17:31
Lori: Very challenging as a medium to step into that space.
00:17:35
Helen: Mhm.
00:17:35
Lori: But he had mentioned it. He'd been doing it for 40 years which didn't add up because he doesn't look that old.
00:17:40
Helen: Yeah that's right.
00:17:41
Lori: He looks great for his age. And so maybe.
00:17:45
Helen: We've got the number wrong.
00:17:47
Lori: Now. He's definitely said 40. Mhm. Mhm. I had 40 I had a lot of numbers that night. And so that's the other thing he mentioned at his performance that just because he's not reading for you directly or the message is for you, sometimes the message can be for you coming through someone else, you know? So he mentioned a few timelines that resonated with me. There was a Ellen Helen situation and then a number 11, um, which is what you were resonating with that day, like the 11th were quite strong for you there. And then he mentioned an 11.
00:18:23
Helen: Mhm.
00:18:24
Lori: Yep. And then that was that. Yeah. The Ellen Helen with the brother with the right name and the loss in the family in the right spot. Mhm. That was uncanny. Yeah.
00:18:35
Helen: And so someone else mirrored your experience. Right. And so it was coming through through another read. But the main thing I took out from the John Edwards experience was that I expected a celebrity medium, I don't know, just to have a lot of fanfare or just you've been doing it for 40 years. I just expected that there was a secret or something that he'd done that had evolved and this was it, and I wouldn't be able to understand his gift. But I think his gift was really well relayed.
00:19:06
Lori: Um, he was he was calm and focused. So what do you mean?
00:19:11
Helen: I mean, he was so medium's. Obviously, you develop your own communication with whatever you're working with, so you might work on your own experiences or you might receive directly, or you might see like a horse, and a horse means action or whatever. Whatever you've worked with, with your spirit team to develop. And he would say, oh, you've had an oopsie with medication, because what I just received was an instance where my mom had taken the wrong tablet and I had to go pick her up, and it was a bit of a joke. And so he was relaying how he was working with the spirit he was reading, which I was. I really enjoyed that.
00:19:47
Lori: Mhm.
00:19:48
Helen: Yeah. Especially when you have that skill set yourself. You know, he sort of gave an insight into how he does it.
00:19:55
Lori: Yeah. And it made me think that, like, it's achievable for anyone. You know, he wasn't doing anything special. He was literally just recalling on moments in his life that had experiences or energy attached to it or, you know, a memory. And then that memory was what he was using to relay what was happening in their life.
00:20:14
Helen: And in that particular instance, he was spot on. Yeah.
00:20:18
Lori: And they loved it. And he was really calm and, you know, added a sense of humour.
00:20:23
Helen: And then after that spirit was able because he'd made the connection with the family, and then spirit was able to send through a really important message for the daughter.
00:20:32
Lori: Yeah. And so he works with everyone in that family energetic unit that was there. Yeah. And so I just came home really inspired that, you know, if you've been doing it for 40 years and you're still operating on the ways that you do is you start the journey. Mhm. Then you can do it day one or you can do it day plus 40 years. It's still the same process. It's still the same messages. You're still working the same way. So that was really inspiring for me. Actually, I didn't expect that. Mhm. He also asked everyone to turn to the people next to them and tell them that they're important and that they love them, because a lot of his readings are for people wanting to know, did they know I love them? Did they know I did everything I could for them? And that that's kind of the energy that's left behind. And he was just inspiring us to turn to the people and show them we love them and let them know I'm doing everything I can for you. You know, I want to help you get through this or, you know, whatever I can do in this process. So that was also a really nice eye opener for me, too.
00:21:33
Helen: Yeah. Because when we're down in the dumps, like depression is a good one. Or, you know, when we get really sick, we do get a degree of depression or we and when we go down there, we become quite self-centred. It's just a natural aspect of like when you lower your energies, that's that's what's going to happen. And so then you feel like the love and the kindness that you're the person caring can't get through. And so they then they doubt that the person did know how much they loved and cared them, and hence then they go to a medium and ask that question. Yeah, I think he's got a lot to offer in his teaching coming up.
00:22:12
Lori: Yeah, yeah. Me too. So that's our experience with John Edwards. We'd love to do more.
00:22:18
Helen: More. Yeah. Because every time we made a really great point, I had a really great idea. We'd go past a sign that had triple 3 or 1, two, three or triple 7 or 8, and the numbers seemed to correspond with what we were talking about. That was super.
00:22:31
Lori: Fun. Yeah.
00:22:32
Helen: Yes. And we had lots of ideas. So stay tuned because I feel like it's just the beginning.
00:22:37
Lori: Yeah. So until our next episode.
00:22:41
Helen: We'll catch you next.
00:22:42
Lori: Time. Bye for now.
