 Hey, it's Bridget. Welcome to Above Life Challenge. The purpose here is to inspire you, or spirit, and to fill you with hope. Today we have ambience. We've got rain behind me, so let's welcome in the energy element of water, which can be very calming. Very soothing, so you will hear that most likely on the audio, but utilize it as a healing flow channel, okay? I talk about elements like like the rain at my fairy grasshopper channel, so if you're interested in all the different tools and the connection stuff that I do over there, check out fairy grasshopper on YouTube. It's more of a vlogging, more casual channel. All right, so if I haven't met you before, hey, nice to meet you. I'm glad that you're here and you found your way here today. We're gonna have a conversation, which is what I do every week. I do a video every week and channel someone from the afterlife. Sometimes it's someone we know, we're familiar with. We've talked to before that has a playlist. There is a playlist tab. So before you say, hey, channel someone, so take a look at the playlist because they have a pretty good chance. There were last two years of this channel that I probably maybe channeled that person at least once, so check out the playlist. Keep me entertained for hours. And I focus on afterlife celebrity guests because they inspire a spirit. They used to be people, so they know what it's like to do the daily grind. They also are very gifted and have lived their life on purpose in some way and have this incredible insight from the afterlife and they also have what we really need is that is your attention to pay attention to the messages that they share, the lessons that they have for us. Today, we're going to talk to Louise Hayes. Louise Hayes is one of our favorites here on above life channel. She is a spiritual teacher. She is a personal development guru and she is the founder of Haye House Publishing. So her name may sound familiar to you and that's because she's with Haye House Publishing. She started that out way back in the day before it was cool to be new agee or spiritual or even personal enrollment was cool. I mean, she's way back in the day. So she has a wide variety of books in and card decks and all sorts of different authors on a variety of topics from health and nutrition and wellness to abundance and love, attraction to angels and totem animals and the universe and the moon cycles and the cosmos and star seed energy and just so much variety, something for everybody there. I kind of sound like a commercial woman. I don't need to. There's also Haye House Radio. You can stream for free. So check that out. There's also an app for Haye House Radio. That might have, that might cost something, but I'm not sure. Again, this is not a sponsored video. But Haye House, if you want to sponsor me, I'm open to that. Let's just be clear here. Okay? So the reason why I want to talk with Louise Haye today is because it has been a day. It has been a week. It has been a couple weeks. It's been a very long stretch of time that I have found it very difficult to channel. To want to motivate myself to channel, to talk to people that are celebrities in the afterlife and record it and perform for you. By perform, I mean make sure that I'm present, make sure that I'm doing the best channel I possibly can and giving this somebody that I haven't talked to before and further doing hard work and doing a good job. That's what I mean. And I really felt pressure against wanting to do that. I just haven't felt motivated. So I want to talk to Louise about that and find out why. I mean current events, hello, there's a lot going on in the world. No last month. The last three months, there's multiple things. We've got layers upon layers upon layers of current events stuff, health stuff, social justice stuff, belief values, all sorts of stuff. We've got an election in the United States coming up in a couple months. We've got a lot of stuff. Everything's just like turning over, turning over, baby. We're turning the soil, turning the soil. And so it could be that. It could just be I've been doing this for two years and I need something different or a variety or I want more. I want more. I want to be able to share in ways that are even more profound and really inspiring to people besides just a video every week, you know, it could be a lot of things. So Louise, can you, um, you are a someone that I connect to as a mentor and I love you and I appreciate you. You're such a trailblazer. Such a feminist. Totally appreciate that. Yes, I did walk today. I did. I've been doing really well on my self-care you guys. I'm gonna brag a little bit. I've been trying to walk five miles at least three times a week and I've been doing really good on that. I've been doing it more than that. So that's good. And the other days I walked two or three miles. So I've been doing pretty good on that. And today was a hot day before this cold front rain came in. It was so hot, so sweaty. So I took a shower and ready for bed, put on my fun t-shirt, my be kind t-shirt and thought, hey, I'm gonna sneak outside and have a conversation with my friend Louise. Hey, give me some advice, Louise. Like, I have to do traveling videos. It's a Sunday night and I don't have anything to share because I don't feel inspired. What do I do? Can you give me some advice? Oh, I think it speaks to who you are. I think it speaks to where you are at. I think you're very hard on yourself. I think there's a lot that you know about this very situation that you are not going to face. And I think you should ask yourself, spend some time with yourself and those depths of questions and really ask yourself, why am I doing this? Why is this important to me? Not to the others out there who are watching because they will find another psychic or medium or channel. If that is what they need, they will find that. And maybe it is not for you to serve in that way. Maybe there is a greater and more broader context that you want to be in service. In addition to your psychic gifts, she's very right. And I have been moving toward, like, my psychic plus life sessions are much more coaching, interwoven with psychic connection and intuition, where sometimes I do mentor with people who are working on their intuition and their psychic skills. But it's not a question answer. I'm telling them, this is what you do. A, B, C, D, E do this. This is how you do it. No, it's not what I do. And I also don't just do a psychic reading, like, what do you want to know? I'll tell you the answers. I'll tell you if your husband's having an affair. I will tell you if you're going to win the lottery. I will tell you which car to buy. I'll tell you what career you should do. You guys, the more I do psychic work, it's been, let's see, since 2004. It's been since 2004 that I've been doing psychic work. And it is so, it just leaves a horrible, horrible, horrible taste in my mouth to even think about telling other people what their future should be. Or it feels so irresponsible for me to be like, I have the answers. Come to me. I'll tell you what to do. I'm not that psychic. That's not who I am. That's not what psychic means to me. Psychic means connection and inspiration and trust and faith in myself and my spirit. Like you trust, you trust, you have faith in your own spirit, your own intuition. Everybody is psychic. I believe it. I know it. And we just need help to remember that. And it's not to get answers or to have our life dictated or laid out so that we don't have to have unknown. It's not to figure out this mystery of our future. We create our future. We create our futures, you guys. I'm not going to predict your future because it could change. I hope to God goddess it changes because you have the power to change your life. You do. You might not believe it and you might want to give somebody else your power, like, hey, give me a rating. Tell me what's going to happen. Who am I going to marry? Who am I going to meet? Well, that sounds interesting and maybe entertaining. That's not my jam. I don't want to be an entertainer. I never wanted to do that. I never wanted to do that. Above like channel, it's not created for an entertainment. Although that's exactly what many people find it for because they're connecting with an entertainer, famous people in the afterlife, celebrities, and you're probably saying, Richard, how can it not be about entertainment when you're, that's all you're talking about is entertainers, people that are famous, celebrities. It's because that's who you guys listen to. I could channel archangels and deities and goddesses and saints and totem animals all day and you will not care. But if I channel dead people that you recognize, you will listen and maybe just maybe that will unlock a part of you that brings your curiosity up to the boiling point where you then will connect and believe in your own intuition, your own empowerment, and live your dang life. Instead of living vicariously through other people, you will live your full on life. And that's what I want. And that's how I feel. Just in case there's any question about that. So am I going to change above life channel? I don't know. I don't even want to answer that. Maybe I just need some time off. You know, maybe I just need like a social media break or something like a cleanse, a social media cleanse and just focus on fairy grasshopper channel because it's so fun. And I can share whatever I want. And it's just me and people that really like me and my work and what I can provide as a person, not an answer bank, not a computer. I'm not a computer. I'm not going to give people exactly what they need. I can't, I cannot do that. I can't meet people's expectations. Sometimes it's just too much. It's too much. And I take that on willingly myself. And that's my thing because I want to do a really good job. And when I can't feel, get into a session with somebody, I don't, I shouldn't be channeling them. I have no business channeling them because there are many other channelers and psychics that could probably do a way better job than if they like that person or they're interested in that person. And I'm also not interested in like researching people and then knowing about them. I don't want to know about them. That's not the point. The point is to be curious and have the experience together. So you can have the experience of psychic connection. So you can have the experience of connecting and communicating with the afterlife through me and feel that. So you're like, Hey, I have those kind of feelings too. Or, Hey, I can talk to Freddie Murky or, Hey, I'm such an Elvis fan. How do I connect? Well, have some experiences. Let's do that. You know, and that's kind of what above life channel does. It's like a safe place to be able to have those experiences where I can share and you can feel the chew, you know? So that's how I feel about that. Oh, I don't know if I should share this because people, I don't want people to get the wrong idea. Like I'm stopping above my channel. I'm not, that's not why I'm channeling. That's not why I'm talking right now. I'm literally talking out loud, my feelings, my thoughts and letting you listen because I'm having a session with Louise. Hey, so Louise, what other advice do you have? Follow your heart because like you need to follow your bliss. You need to really pay attention to what you love doing and do more of that. It does not matter, Bridget, what other people want from you. Those aren't your people. You know that the people that want, demand or expect from you are not the people that support you. They're not, they don't have a financial stake in your success at all. They're just passers-by. They're just observers. They're not contributing. They're not commenting. They're not subscribing. They're just watching. They're like kind of eavesdropping. Those are not the people you are here for. You are not here for everyone. It's, okay, so, but Louise, I'm not like the niche thing. I'm not sure. I think that that's why above my channel it's so narrowly focused that people like you guys as viewers have no idea that I do all these other things that I coach and when I coach, I do intuitive coaching so I connect with your spirit. I encourage you to do that. We have conversation about that. We talk about different areas of your life. We work on something that you want to work on. We connect for a day and see what's going on in your life. I have consistent sessions with people every month or twice a month. That's where I spend my time. Above my channel is just like kind of a fun thing that I do. It's not like the whole, this is all I do. That's not. That's why I don't do medium sessions right now because I, that's not, I'm not going to do a one and done. I am not a one night stand. I want to commit it. It's true. It's true. I'm passionate about that. I'm very passionate about that. You have to follow your bliss. You have to follow that. You are the only person that can change things. You are the only person that is putting restrictions upon you. Just ignore people that complain or it feels like people complain. Ignore them. They are not, they don't deserve the attention and the people who really genuinely appreciate what you have to offer will follow your work and enjoy it so much and those are the people that you should be engaging with. Those are the people that you should be building your entire business around because those are the people that are investing in themselves and those are the people that will need you in their processes. They grow and expand and you'll get to celebrate all those milestones with them and that's what you want. You want that. Yes I do. I do want that. I do want that. Can you give advice to everybody else right now? Like everybody that's watching this. They don't want to just watch me get a session for me. I don't know. Not everybody's that interested in that. Some of you guys may be like 20%. Everybody else will be like, hey, tell us something for us. Can you tell us something about the time that is right now and what the deal is? It's right on Father's Day in June 2020. We just had a solstice on the 20th. It's the 21st when I'm recording this. I don't know when I'm going to share it. What's up? Is there some cosmic reconstruction going on that we all have to be like, oh, buckle your seatbelts. Oh my gosh. This is like a 3D bride that I don't like. I'm getting carsick, motion sick, whatever. What's going on, these? It says, oh, Bridget, it does feel quite dramatic, doesn't it? It does really feel very dramatic. And that, again, is your choice. You should listen to my friend Eckhart. Eckhart Tolle? Yes, yes indeed. His New Earth and the strategies that are brought forward in part in that book and in subsequent other teachings would perhaps give you a piece of mind. And you may be ready for that at this time. And she's right. I personally have found Eckhart Tolle's voice just lately. Very calm and soothing. So it's Eckhart Tolle. And there's lots of stuff on YouTube with him. Yeah, I have found his voice very soothing. And before like 10 years ago, there's no way you guys, I could have never listened to him. I would have been like, no offense, Eckhart, if you ever saw this video, I thought it was boring. I'm like, oh, this is so boring. Oh, boring. Give me some action, people. Oh, boring. Now I'm like, oh, I'm welcoming it. I'm welcoming some calm because everything is dramatic. It's really traumatizing. We're in like a very traumatic time. And it's affecting everybody so different in so many levels. It is. That is very true. And it is a time to be extremely hyper vigilant with the way you are treating yourself, the way you are speaking to yourself and your thoughts. And you will need to amplify the kindness in your affirmations and the work that you do for you. That is so essential, not just for your, the betterment of your society, but for your survival as an individual. It will be far too easy for you to compromise and to conform and join some group or niche moving ahead so that you can adapt their principles of structural organization so that you can be one of many and feel the belonging that you crave because it's better than feeling alone. But it's so, I must really stress the importance of maintaining your individualism and recognizing your own unique attributes because those are the things that will come to the surface. And those are the things that your past and your past previous experiences, the things that you've been taught about yourself will try to keep those down. And even in some cases destroy them, those true assets that you have to share, those true attributes. And it is more important now than ever for you to believe the most in yourself and the individualism that you have. But that does not mean to be separate from others. It means bring about what you have to contribute and share and then bring it into groups where that energy that you have stands a light. It lights up. And it is not a competition for light. It is an imbued energy. It brings, she's like showing this light kind of integrates with other light and then it becomes a bigger light and it's all these different colors and it's nobody knows where the one source is because there's not one source that's amplified and everyone is connected as unique individuals bringing the light up and amplifying it and immunity and unification that gets bigger and bigger as to how it feels. You guys, I'm not like amazing. Oh that feels so good. So right now are we in a time of somewhat considered like dark night of the soul? Because I know personally for me I am really going through it. I am like feeling and questioning things and I'm willing to go into the depths of my own value systems, my beliefs, what's important to me, what I'm just doing because other people expect it like above life channel in the exact same way and trying to meet everybody's needs here because that's what you should do as a business and that kind of thing. But above life channel really isn't like business. It's just a platform that I share and the business is my psychic life coaching work. Whether it's in groups or in classes online or in one-on-one private coaching which is where I've really been feeling good. I feel like tools like writing and journaling and I'm taking an online coaching class and it helps with trauma and understanding living a trauma-informed life and understanding how trauma affects us and it's actually a class for psychotherapist counselors and coaches. It's really mind the heavy. It's also experiential and I've been doing a lot of work in equine therapy, learning about that and I'm gonna have it myself actually so in July I get to do that and have that experience but I've been really investing in allowing myself to ask questions that I don't know the answers to and not meeting an answer right away or meeting a resolution but just being willing to ask the questions and just let the questions just kind of be because one question leads to another question which leads to another thing which leads to another thing which eventually leads it's like little cobblestones little stepping stones along the path that leads me to a place where I need to be and it's not that one question or the answer to that that I need it's the process of the path the on path unfolding that I know is where the value is and I would encourage you to recognize things like that right now and the unknown is just a process we're in we're in a process of unknown and newsflash we've always been in a status of unknown in mystery some people see this curiosity and adventure and opportunity for exploration and discovery and some people are like oh shi oh what the f is going on in this world I want everything back to the 1940s you know I mean really like I shouldn't say 1940s but you know how it used to be like I remember adults around me when I was younger listening to them saying oh in the good old days and I'm thinking about like the 1940s car my grandpa used to drive that kind of thing comes in my mind like oh the good old days you know when we were in the house and didn't work out of the home and I'm like oh no and so just the perspective of things and I just feel so I'm willing so is that considered like a dark night of the soul are we collectively going through that as a society what's the deal what is the deal louise somewhat advice can give us it is an individual process and it will be unique for many some will as you as you uncoin the phrase the dark night of the soul I didn't coin the phrase it wasn't mine I don't even like that term but the fact that we have to have the shadow with the light so we can identify the contrast is something very real to me you guys in my work I do that and you know that louise I'm all about the balance of things and learning and accepting all aspects of us our shadow our light all of it and I get what you're saying though I just literally felt it she said that's exactly how it is happening in the world right now the shadow and the light and the contrast of things the anger is going to be high because it's easier to be angry than it is to be sad you guys have prepared me in session you've heard me say it when you're grieving and you're really sad or there's such a loss or you don't know what's going on and you just can't function you can't focus you cannot focus it's easier to get angry and crappy than it is to actually let yourself feel sad and I'm personally working on that myself because I'm not good at that either I'd rather get ticked off and go off on a tangent and be angry than to really feel sad and have to deal with that stuff like it's father's day and I'm recording this video and there's a part of me that is sad and I miss my dad too you know and spent 18 years and I miss her you know and that's just the part of my experience you know so it isn't you're saying it's very individual it's very individual and that's that's what can be hard she says because you feel alone but individual and alone we say a same individual and alone is not the same thing that is not please do not confuse that or misunderstand it doesn't mean you go through it alone it doesn't mean that it means you have safe places to have discussions about how you are really feeling without being judged and without you hearing yourself and judging yourself whether that's in your private journal or on the phone with a friend trusted companions you must be able to have a safe space for yourself to reflect and to share the process the the the steps that you are thinking and the feelings that are coming and the thoughts that are moving through and be able to do that in a safe way where you're not evaluated and judged on each part of the process but rather to have a whole picture view of all of it and be accepted every step of the way and we really need that support now more than ever and I know it I know it but I have and I have support structures you guys have heard me talk about it all the time especially if you watch me on fairy grass opera channel I talk all the time about I had a coach I got a counselor I have a women's group I am so supported I have some really close friends that I can really be psychic with and talk to about my stuff going on I can be a psychic human without being the psychic with all the answers and tell me what to do bridge it you know not like that and so I feel really safe I'm lucky you know and not everybody has that and I know it so use your journal you guys impart use a journal to help do that for yourself and constantly and consistently give yourself supportive feedback not negative and when it starts to judge recognize that as a past pattern and just set it aside I'd like another thought please Alex for 100 you know get a new thought in there that's for a new one to come in you know and this is a great time for you guys to connect with your spirit guides and your healing teams and your angels you get inspired by them and feel their love support encouragement do that you know and if you need a session I mean I'm here you know you can reach out and get on my list and we can do a psychic and life session okay if you need that we can totally do that Lewis do you have any anything else that you can share with us can give us any insights about the future
