Helen: 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

00:00:36
Helen: Hi, Lori. Hey, Helen.
00:00:38
Lori: Signs and synchronicities of the week.
00:00:41
Helen: Yeah, let's talk about that. There's a few. Uh, I just want to talk about the glass. To start with. The birds have gone mad, so I have set glass with my guides a very long time ago to mean a certain thing. And so this week, I have had a glass walk across in front of my car so I couldn't drive on the road. Have you ever seen a law walk?
00:01:03
Lori: Not very often. No, no, not.
00:01:04
Helen: Across a hot road. No, no, that doesn't make sense.
00:01:07
Lori: And they normally fly off so they don't get hit. Birds in general.
00:01:11
Helen: I had to stop to let it cross.
00:01:13
Lori: It's not a duck.
00:01:14
Helen: You're welcome. And then I went to Kennedy to pick up my daughter. And there was a cut-out of a glass. Some child had cut the picture out of a book and left it below her bag. I don't know whose bag it belonged to, but it was left under my daughter's bag. Thank you. Spirit. So that was three glasses on that picture. I then asked for two glasses to sit on an Ariel because I'm very specific as a sign for something. They came in and then just to top it off, when I was on school pick up, there was a glass with a broken wing next to the car park that I had to alert the principal about. Yeah, that was a bit sad, actually. And broken. Right wing.
00:01:58
Lori: Mhm.
00:02:00
Helen: Oh, control. The masculine. The broken masculine.
00:02:08
Lori: Mhm.
00:02:09
Helen: Interesting. Right.
00:02:10
Lori: Mhm.
00:02:11
Helen: And it all depends what use that girl's to mean as you're.
00:02:15
Lori: It certainly does.
00:02:18
Helen: Right. So I saw some glass this week too.
00:02:21
Lori: Good for you. What were your glass doing.
00:02:23
Helen: There was a thunderstorm and there were three glass, which I thought was quite representative. So to, um, for me, glass kind of remind me to have more fun. Mhm. And, um, so there were three glass. It was the thunderstorm was just beginning. Looked like it was going to hail. And we were thinking about where should we move the cars to. Um, and the girls were thinking about how can we have more fun. And they're on the power line, hanging upside down, opening their wings up to have a bath. And they looked like they were having a blast. And I just thought of the, um. I thought of you, and I thought of our friend Jane and the three of us, like, oh, man, we're going to be having some fun in the future.
00:03:11
Lori: That's I love that.
00:03:13
Helen: No thunderstorms gonna scare the pants off us.
00:03:16
Lori: No, the birds have been a bit wild this week, actually. Which to me, when the birds go wild, is signs of an energetic shift. Mhm. Because animals are very sensitive to the universe and the push and pull. So I think that I mean yeah the laws would definitely add enforce this week.
00:03:35
Helen: Anything else.
00:03:36
Lori: Yes. So interestingly enough I have a massive bolt stuck through my front right hand tire of my car.
00:03:44
Helen: Right hand again. Right. Saw it again. There we.
00:03:47
Lori: Go again. The broken masculine. The damage in the. Yeah. And but in contrary to that, I have had a nail in my back left tire for maybe a month or two that my husband said he told me about, which I don't claim to remember that conversation.
00:04:04
Helen: This is not marriage counselling.
00:04:05
Lori: I'd like to take the footage, but I didn't know that was there and it wasn't bothering me. Isn't that interesting? But now I have a massive screw and it's a screw with a washer. I don't even know how this happened, but it's in the front, right? And every time I moved, I could hear it and it was click, click, click, click, right when I'm moving on, like car parks and something just wasn't right. And then I looked and I thought, I can't pull that out. It's going to pop the whole tire when I pull that thing out. So I figured I have to get it fixed, right? I can't drive around with bolt in my right front tire. No, no, no it's not.
00:04:44
Helen: No one can drive around with faulty tires.
00:04:47
Lori: So I drove into the first tire place on my way into town when I had a spare moment, and I ding the bell at the counter and no one came, dinged it again, and no one came. And then I just had a real urge in my body that I wasn't meant to be there, and I wasn't meant to get the tie fixed, and they weren't the people who were meant to fix my tire. So I just left. And now I still have a bolt in my front tire.
00:05:12
Helen: Wow.
00:05:13
Lori: Make of that what you will. But we could dissect it because.
00:05:17
Helen: Do you want to?
00:05:18
Lori: Well, the we could do the cars represent.
00:05:21
Helen: Yeah. So what can I tell my. So Lori sends me the text about these nails and bolts in a tires. Todd's really important to me, too, by the way, because there's such an there's such a thing for safety, right? Like in the practical, physical world. So I look up, there's Annette Noone tells book the body is a body, a body guidance type book. And normally it's about, you know, the pains and ills in your body. But at the back there's a car section, which I think is a lot of fun. So I send Lori the picture from the book and it says basically a spiritual feel, wasn't it?
00:05:59
Lori: Back left was not stepping into your spiritual journey because there's a fear and the front right Was fear of moving forward, which to me like right now, for some reason, I think of the right in front of my car as my knees. I don't know why I think that, but it's, you know, anything down that right hand side is like stepping forward. Like that's the masculine energy and.
00:06:21
Helen: Letting go of control and ego and stuff like that.
00:06:24
Lori: Yeah. And there's an underlying fear there that is now represented by this bolt in my tire that I am trying very hard to work out what it is, but I don't I don't even know this one.
00:06:36
Helen: But it'll come.
00:06:37
Lori: Yeah.
00:06:37
Helen: They always come. They do easily and effortlessly as well.
00:06:42
Lori: Yeah. And they'll just be a moment, I think, where it will all suddenly make sense. And yeah, I'm picking when I find someone to fix my tire because I'm busy and I don't have time for this. So there will be a point.
00:06:54
Helen: Where I sauce, all right, I want to be spiritually advanced, but I just don't have time, so make it happen overnight. Thanks.
00:07:02
Lori: I don't have time. Can you call the tire place and get my car booked in for me?
00:07:06
Helen: And then? And then drive me there.
00:07:09
Lori: And drop me at work off. Thank you. I mean, look and process the fear in the in in the same circles.
00:07:15
Helen: Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
00:07:15
Lori: So I don't have to do it. Thanks.
00:07:17
Helen: That sounds really great. So very representative though. Um, and then I did a card reading on myself and similar theme about resisting transition.
00:07:26
Lori: So that's the part of the story I left out. Yeah. So I send Lori the, the pictures from the, you know, the information from Annette's book and Lori's like, nah, nah, that's not right.
00:07:38
Helen: I'm fearless. What are you talking about? And so I think right.
00:07:45
Lori: And I was like, give her more time.
00:07:47
Helen: I'm like, no. Give me some cards. And so I'm like, okay, let's talk about this. Come on, guys, let's have a conversation. And so I was getting death reversed, which is resisting the transformation. And there was another one I was getting that was symbolic of it as well. But there was a very strong theme of fear of stepping forward. Fear is stepping into this new thing. Well, in my right knee was twitching as well, so there was an energetic movement or block or something going on with my right knee, which is all insanely connected.
00:08:22
Lori: So here we are busting through the fears of stepping forth in this podcast, but it'll be something else as well, probably.
00:08:29
Helen: Yeah, it has to be something else. This is fun. This isn't fearful.
00:08:33
Lori: Yes.
00:08:35
Helen: Careful what we wish.
00:08:36
Lori: For, right?
00:08:37
Helen: Well, let's see what card we draw. How?
00:08:44
Lori: Well, let's let's put the pack back together again.
00:08:50
Helen: How do you imagine a past loved one?
00:08:53
Lori: Oh, this is a.
00:08:55
Helen: Really important topic. Krak is also that at the start of every card, there's a really beautiful part I didn't. Sorry. Let me say, I didn't ever really think about how I thought about a past loved one until I read about it in a course of love. So you know how important a course of love is to me. So it really got me thinking. Anyhow, it asks, do you think about a past loved one as fully embodying still their personality and their traits and how they look? Except they look, you know, 30 or 40 or 50 years younger, you know, like they look how you would imagine them or knew them to look in their prime. And they look healthy and radiant and they're still opinionated and they still have their personality. And you might think of them when you're doing something. Oh, what would Nana think about me doing this or or, um, my father had hate me for doing this because he used to always do it this other way or, you know, so you still sort of imagine them with their personality and their opinions and the way they liked to do things, but they're free. They're not burdened with physical limitation or physical pains or disease or anything like that. They're just sort of the most beautiful version of themselves anyway. How do you think about a past loved one?
00:10:19
Lori: Sorry for me. Like my past loved ones? Like my husband's grandma is one of my God. So I obviously think about her and talk about her a lot. And I only knew her as an older person. So she appears as she was, as I knew her. Not right at the end, but like those in the older years of her life. But she always comes through and so is it.
00:10:40
Helen: The prime of the time. You knew her?
00:10:42
Lori: Yes, because I didn't know her for that long. But yeah, it would be. And she comes through and she always says my name with three clear syllables, like Lorinda. Right? Or like that's how she used to greet me. And I really like, I hear every time she comes in, it's like that three syllable drop in and I know it's her. But when I've read spirits for other people, you get the whole picture. You know, you get like how they felt as when they were working in their prime, and then how they felt at the end in any ailments they had. But you, you feel the love that they had for that person or the emotion they have for the person you're reading. So when I imagine a past loved one, it's that memory of like the fun time we had together in the real, like, cemented memories. But when you read like when, if the few times I've read a spirit, you get the whole picture.
00:11:37
Helen: Mhm.
00:11:38
Lori: I don't typically read spirits like I don't have that mediumship tendency, but I have had in really sort of deep or big healings. Maybe a person come through for the someone and the love that comes through is overwhelming. Always makes just so many tears. It's just an overwhelming love.
00:12:04
Helen: Yeah. And that's so nice, right, that you can tap into that. I don't know if many people get to do that. Really? In his lifetime. Yeah. You know, to that extent, like really bringing in that love and that embodiment and really letting it fill your entire body of that.
00:12:21
Lori: It just it it.
00:12:23
Helen: Is so moving.
00:12:24
Lori: Mhm. Agree. Mhm.
00:12:26
Helen: Yeah.
00:12:27
Lori: I'm not crying you all in the sessions.
00:12:35
Helen: I think too when we think about going back to the topic of the podcast, how we think about a past loved one, it if, what if we thought about ourselves that way. What if we thought about ourselves like light and joyful and loving and free and unlimited.
00:13:00
Lori: And that really good part of the existence, you know, like our favourite part of being here.
00:13:05
Helen: Mhm.
00:13:06
Lori: It just I have practiced it at times, you know, like I've brought this to the forefront of my mind for a week or something, and just practiced imagining myself more like that. It lightens everything. And then the physical world drops in and, I don't know, maybe tax time or something, and I come straight back to the real world. But it does make an enormous difference how we see ourselves.
00:13:30
Helen: And sometimes you can connect just with the name of the person too. So when you want to connect into that energy, you can just go like grandma me and say it a few times in your head, and then it just comes through as an energy, not necessarily like an image of the person.
00:13:45
Lori: Whom are we talking about? Is this a podcast? Like a dual podcast, you're hearing one, one train of thought and I'm overhearing another.
00:13:54
Helen: I mean, that's the whole thing, right? We see this very differently. We do? Yeah. And I've never actually thought about it before. You did this card and I was a bit.
00:14:03
Lori: Resistant on it.
00:14:04
Helen: And I can say that's.
00:14:06
Lori: The truth.
00:14:06
Helen: Because we're very different on how we imagine past loved ones and connecting to.
00:14:12
Lori: Them and.
00:14:13
Helen: Yeah. Well, you've you've got a recent past loved one in your family. Do you, uh, do you think of him as how he was when he passed? He was unwell when he passed?
00:14:25
Lori: Definitely not. But I actually see cockatoos and think of him. Yeah, because he was the cockroach. So my father in law passed, and he would hand feed cockatoos in his backyard and always feed them. And so now we get cockatoos symbology when. And that's a really good story I'll tell at a later date about this. But when he is sending us a message or dropping in, it's the cockatoos and it's him. And it's probably my vivid memories of that with my eldest child on his hip feeding in the backyard, which was, you know, probably ten years before he passed at least.
00:15:00
Helen: Mhm. Mhm. Yeah.
00:15:01
Lori: So you'll remember him like that. And then one day you'll catch yourself doing something and you'll think, ah, he wouldn't have liked it done like this or he would be loving that we're doing this because.
00:15:13
Helen: This.
00:15:13
Lori: Was his favourite thing to do. Or no. But you'll think of him. Free and pain free. Free in his mind. To, you know, free to be joyful and happy and and just loving his family. Mhm.
00:15:30
Helen: Yeah. Yeah.
00:15:31
Lori: That's a lovely way.
00:15:31
Helen: To think of it. Mhm.
00:15:33
Lori: Right. I think that wraps it all.
00:15:35
Helen: Major.
00:15:36
Lori: Lots of stories. And then thinking about how we imagine a past loved one.
00:15:41
Helen: Yeah. Just let it just observe it.
00:15:44
Lori: There's no right and wrongs.
00:15:46
Helen: No. And your spiritual gifts may present when you're imagining you're someone who visualises them, whether you feel them, whether you hear words that they might say. And tapping into that will open up your intuition as well. And how you work with spirit.
00:16:03
Lori: So until the next episode.
00:16:04
Helen: We'll catch you later.
00:16:05
Lori: Bye for now.
