 Hello, good morning. Let's hope my audio works well today. Hey, I'm Bridget. It's nice to see you here on Sunday Morning Coffee. Welcome to Sunday Morning Coffee. Today we're gonna talk about signs and messengers. I'm just gonna double check to make sure my audio's okay and acceptable. I turned down my mic. Let's just check, checkity check. I hope you have your coffee handy or tea or water. Whoa, okay, just a minute. Apparently the YouTube already adds ads, nice. Okay, let's check the audio. Let's check the audio. Oh, good, that sounds good. Okay, let's do it. Let's get it started in here. My office slash bedroom space is a huge mess right now. So I'm trying to keep you in the corner. And I have some things I got planned today. So I am gonna have a little, I'm gonna finish eating my fruit. That's what I was trying to do. I took a shower, so the hair's wet and got to finish eating some fruit before. Oh, now it's ripe, this one. Oh, have everybody into a mango that's not ripe? Not good. Some of these other ones are good though. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. The other ones are good. Ooh, good morning, good Sunday morning. It's a beautiful day here in Minnesota. I hope it's gorgeous where you are. If it's not, you can borrow some of my sunshine. You know how much I love that vitamin D. Oh, so good on the skin. I have plans to go enjoy that later. I'm also gonna have some boba tea or bubble tea. I think it's boba tea. This afternoon, I'm like, what? I'm like, it was my idea. So I'm like, well, we can meet here at this bubble tea, boba tea place. And hopefully, like, okay, so when I was in Seattle, first I'm gonna chat a little bit before we start talking about the topic. When I was in Seattle visiting my sister multiple times, which she's not there anymore, now she lives back in Minnesota, yay! Got to see her give her big hugs yesterday. She's here in Minnesota, welcome home, sis. And when I go visit her right out from her apartment was this tea place and had the bubbles in it, like with the milk and stuff, but I didn't get the milk, I get the almond milk or oat milk. Okay, so I'm gonna say hi to the chat. Hi, Lynette, hi, Drew. Hi, Patty. Patty helps moderate things, self-appointed. Lynette, nice to see you. Hello to Denmark. Boop, boop, ready, set, go, yes, hello. Oh, I see you guys chatting with each other. That's so sweet, I love that. Okay, so updates. Yesterday was, it's hot in here, oh, oh, it's hot in here. That's good. Yesterday was my grandma's funeral, her memorial, and I did one of the readings. I kind of joked on one of my TikToks that it's the first time I've done a public speaking engagement since before COVID and it's really true, it really is. And so I'm like, oh, and it was at a church. And at church I've grown up going to because of my grandparents, they're super Lutheran, like super Swedish and Lutheran, no Coleman, you know? And the whole Swedish horses and all those little things and all sorts of stuff. And so we were at her church and it was so strange to be there but it actually felt really good. The last time I had been in that sanctuary at that church was when my grandfather died 15 years ago. Yeah, 15 years ago. Yeah, so that was kind of a interesting kind of a turn of the wheel, so to speak because I was in a very different place at that point in my life, you know? So lots of reflection, got to see extended family who I haven't seen in a long time, like some of my dad's cousins, which we never see, he doesn't have a very big family and it just, it was really nice, you know? It was really nice. My aunt too, on my mom's side came and one of my cousins on my mom's side came and it was, it's strange to say that but it was very nice. It was very nice. It was nice. And yeah, it was nice. Now I have a huge box of pictures that I told my brother, I invited myself over. I said, you need to have a barbecue and I'm gonna come over with this big box of pictures and my sister and him and I and my mom, why is she still in town? Cause she, she lives in California most of the time and then part time and then she comes to Minnesota sometimes we'll just go through the pictures. And already I opened, I picked up one and I opened it up. I should have brought it here. You guys would just about die laughing. Old school like big hair and curly, big like the perms. Remember when we overpermed our hair? I'm so dating myself and that's okay. That's okay. So anyway, it was kind of fun, you know? So, all right, so let's get started on our topic today. Again, thank you so much for showing up in the live chat for Sunday morning coffee. Our podcast today is about signs and messengers. Okay, and before I jump in, I do wanna mention today on May 21st at 6 p.m. central time I have a group that I'm doing tonight, a inspiring psychic experience. It's like a reading, a psychic reading group, basically. I haven't done this before like this. I used to do them in person for ages ago, ages and ages. I've been doing this, this is my 19th year now. I'm like, oh my God. Actually, isn't my 20th year? Oh my God, isn't my 20th? No, it's my 19th year. It's an odd year, right? Yeah, 19th year. Woo, scared me a little bit. How am I, how? I think it's my 18th. Oh my God, 19th, yes, it's 19th. I'm doing psychic work, right? And yeah, I used to do what was considered gallery readings which was focused more on afterlife stuff. Now, this group isn't really focused on that. It's not celebrity channeling. It's like question and answer. Someone will ask a question about something or they'll talk about something going on in their life and then I'll take that, connect with the angels and guides, the spirit guides and bring in information for them to give them some clarity, some hope, some inspiration and insight. It's all good stuff. It's never, sometimes it's truth telling but it's not harsh and it's not sad or heavy. I mean, and if energy comes in, that's heavy. We shift that, we clear that. We kind of feel into the energy, hold the space and clear some of that stuff out because we're people, we have emotions, we have a lot of feelings and sometimes we have to do that. So we take advantage of that group energy that holds that sacred container and we clear that. So we're gonna do that online tonight. And I put a link in the group chat and there is a link in this video when it's posted live, when it's posted today you will be able to actually register for that if you wanna join it, it's gonna be on a Zoom. So and it's $40 a person. So that's again at 6 p.m. central time and it's tonight, May 21st. Today also is my dad's, would have been my dad's birthday. So happy birthday, daddy, it would be 73 today. Cheers. He didn't drink coffee, but cheers dad. The church I was at yesterday actually was where he was like confirmed in and to get there, we drove right by the company he used to work for and the location he used to work for. So it was just a whole thing, you know, so happy birthday dad. Okay, which is perfect for the signs and messengers conversation. So yesterday morning when I woke up there's a huge window right here. It's a slider, a patio door and I rolled, turned over and I love to watch the sunrise over the greenhouse here. And I was watching it and kind of feeling energy and all of a sudden like literally five minutes after I woke up, right on the patio, not in the grass, not on the trees, on the patio right outside my door was a cardinal. And the cardinal was my mascot in high school. Okay, so like my whole school everything was red and it was cardinals and all that, right? Well, cardinals are kind of mean FYI and the women and the men look different or the masculine and feminine cardinals look different, you know, with males and females and it's kind of weird to see one and it was all puffed up in a beautiful red and just like, what? Like right on the patio, like the bricks outside. I'm like, I don't think I've seen a cardinal here around here. And I'm like, wow, okay. And right away I knew. I'm like, thank you, grandma. Because cardinals specifically, many of you know this birds are huge messengers from spirit. They give us signs and information and affirmation because of the spirit, the wings, right? Like angels, they're the closest thing to the ability of being a free spirit that we could possibly see in our human form. I believe there's an energy of the birds that is so, so impactful and profound or things with wings like butterflies too. So we can talk about that in a minute. But the cardinal in particular, you can look all these up by the way, just Google a simple Google search or YouTube search on totem animals, sometimes referred to as totem animals or spirit animals and animals as messengers. You can, simple Google search will tell you that the cardinal is known as an afterlife sign. And often when I see it, I hear about it a lot. I used to hear about it tons when the early on days of my work, especially when I focused a lot on mediumship. And mediumship, by the way, if you're new here is about afterlife connection. It's about specifically talking to somebody who has died on the other side. And I mean, it's what I do on above-life channel and the celebrity channelings, right? So that's what I did in the big crux of my work in the beginning. It's not so much anymore, but I mean, I do some of that, but not. It's not just the sole purpose. But early on, I would always hear about these stories from people about how they've seen the cardinal. They've seen a cardinal and so much and other birds too at times. But mostly that cardinal, it just really represents, and for me, it's the parental energy. So somebody that was a guide for you in life or somebody that was a parent, a mom or a dad or a grandparent. And so for me, for some people, it's like a father energy, very strong. To me, it's like a very strong message, like red in your face, you cannot ignore a cardinal and they just have such a determined energy about them, a confidence and a determination, like a strong willed energy, which was totally my grandma, my 98 years old, oh, come on. Yeah, very strong willed. So I was like, wow, thanks. And so I thought this is a great topic for us to have conversation. So if you're watching in the chat on the live stream or if you're watching after, go ahead and put in the comments below what signs or symbols you have received from loved ones in the afterlife or from spirit. So it doesn't have to be like your dad, your grandma, your sister or a pet beloved pet that passed away or a friend, it might be from your angels too. We'll talk about that a little bit. Ooh, I got a little bit of a sniffle here, just a second, let me grab a tissue. Okay, so go ahead and pop that in the chat. Well, my coffee's getting cold. I'm trying to be healthier, trying to eat fruit and instead of chocolate lately, I've been really hitting the chocolate hard, let me tell you. I was so good for months and now I'm like chocolate. It's how I self-medicate, what I feel sad. I eat a lot of chocolate. I was smiling at all my mangoes. I already ate the grapes, so that's why I just have mangoes left. So let me see what you're sharing in the chat about any birds that you see. Oh, cardinals and blue jades, dragonflies, butterflies and hummingbirds, yes. Oh wow, orb light energy, yeah, messages, yeah, wind chimes, yeah. I saw my dad in a dream, yeah, dream state. Wow, good you guys. Oh, no, the group is tonight, May 21st, May 21st. I'll double check the dates, but it should be today. It is today, I know it's today, May 21st. There's also a June date for the group, Lynette. Send me a message and we'll figure it out, okay? Boba tea, yeah, okay, all right, thanks. Sorry. All right, yes, okay. Yeah, okay, so I have a story about butterfly. Should I tell you about that one? Okay, so the butterfly story is something that is about the monarch butterfly in particular, the beautiful orange butterfly. And this is something that happened when my grandpa was in hospice care. What they would do is to signify to other staff members that someone in the hospice room had crossed over. So after that person had died, they would put just a little monarch butterfly on the room number next to the room so that other staff would know that the person had died and then the family was gathering or saying goodbye or having a moment. And so they would walk into the room and start saying, hey, how was so-and-so? They wouldn't walk in and say that they'd walk in and very quietly, very respectfully, just ask if you needed anything, that kind of thing. And so that monarch butterfly became a symbol for me of the afterlife. It really did. And I know that butterflies are such a symbol of change and metamorphosis and transformation. As we all know, and for some, it's very much symbolic of a person, like I'm feeling right now, somebody that's watching this, it reminds them of their mother. I can feel that right here right now. So for you who are watching, just know that, yes, that's a symbol of your mother. So it can also be a sign. Recently, I've used it in the last year or two as a sign of courage, right? Because change is hard. And sometimes we wanna really dig deep and just become the person we are meant to be. And most of the time from my personal experience and my extraordinary experience in the last year and a half or so, it has been that that withholding that resistance is from inside of us. And so the courage to overcome our own personal fear is to just allow ourselves to be. It's not like a big massive undertaking external. It's really just an internal process. And I'm like, wow, when I've been discovering that, I've been really humbled by it. So the butterfly has represented that now for me as well, not just from the afterlife. The monarch in particular, that orange is the afterlife for me, but the blue butterfly, the topaz, the speaking your truth, the truest, most beautiful aspects and attributes of who you are. That's what that represents for me now. So you see, it might not just be a message from the spirit, from the afterlife, from your mom, for someone here, from your mother saying hello to you. So proud of you. I'm so much at peace. That's part of the message there. And at the same time, this energy of the message or the messenger is actually within you. And so for that butterfly and the blue one in particular for me is this courage, this confidence, this overwhelming, truest, most beautiful part of me in my wholeness and my fullness. And that is my spirit speaking to me saying, you got this, you got this. Who the fuck are you? You better own that. Because otherwise someone's gonna come in and try to own you. So you own it, you own that power, you own that sovereignty. So yeah, see, I feel a little strongly about that blue butterfly. The I can do it. You got this energy. So yes, there are lots of other symbols and signs that we get to end messengers. Okay, so animals, totem animals, spirit animals, or some things you can look into that I hope you will explore. Part of the goal here and the work here at Above Life Channel is to encourage you to expand your knowledge and wisdom, your own knowledge base and develop your own dialogue with spirit and through energy understanding because there's support all around you from the universe. It really is supported, supporting you. But so often we get messages that are harsh and heavy and in our face intense because we haven't allowed the subtleties of the gentle messages, the gentle and genuine messages to become fully present and be received because it feels too good or too soft. And sometimes soft and gentle doesn't seem like super powerful and strong, but truly the soft and gentle, the compassionate, those are the warriors. The soft and gentle are the heart warriors, those empaths, not to be afraid and try to protect and withdraw, but to lean in and show up and be present in that calming energy, that fierce connection to what is true, what is tender, that is power, that. And so tapping into that, those streams of knowledge and wisdom and intuition are really where it's at, you guys. Don't wait until it's like in your face to adjust course, pay attention as you are developing your relationship with your spirit, your inner wisdom, your inner knowing. And then spirit guides and angels and in totem animals will arrive to you and things will make much more sense and it would just be so much affirmation. And then when you'll be walked, taken a nature walk and everywhere there'll be messages, everywhere. I walked into the sanctuary at the church yesterday and the stained glass window was a message for me, the image on it. And I'm like, oh, it was gorgeous. Right above the altar was a rainbow on the church stained glass window. Multiple meanings here, angels or LGBTQIA also, right? And remember, my dad died of AIDS, he was a gay man. And so there was so much layers of information just by seeing a rainbow in a church, like right there in my face, like that. So being present gives you so much information, so much. So much, okay. So rainbow, color, color. So the significance of the orange butterfly, the monarch is that sacral chakra, your low belly, your womb space where we create, energy is created, it's desire, it's drive, it's life purpose, it's passion. It's what do I want? What are my dreams, that kind of thing? The purpose of life, the zest for life. So you see that color really is important as well. And the color could be itself be a sign, the fact that it's orange versus a blue butterfly. Different meaning, right? So like that blue for me is that truest, most beautiful part of myself, that messenger of being yourself, being, having the guts to be you, to really be you and to use that confidence and that courage and stand in that freaking alignment. Yeah, like that. So aside from animals and nature being messengers, other people are also messengers too. They are. Sometimes, do you ever, I know you have these experiences. And I'm gonna say stuff that seems so normal and natural because that's what intuition is. It's your spirit connecting with energy. So it's not weird. It's not out of the norm. And we go, oh my God, it's so crazy, it's so crazy. And I do that too, because there's been other things that have happened and I'm like, oh my God, that is so weird. And it's really, even it gets me. I'm like, what? Because my ego mind, our brains are going, we're not that special. Only the special people get visits from angels. Only the special people have skills to be able to really understand what all this means. And I don't know. No, yeah, you're just not connected to your knowing. Turn on your knower. Flip on your intuition, which is in your solar plexus, your energy center of your belly. Just flip on that switch of your intuition and stop blocking it. Okay, so what was I talking about? Somebody help me here. I lost my, I'm trying to find out. Oh, I'm so being distracted right now. Oh my God, okay, I have to, people as messengers. Okay, Jonah Vark is here, St. Jonah Vark. She showed up three times in sessions this week, every single day. And then somebody said to me, it was so beautiful. It's like, B, you are such, whenever I see you when I'm talking to you, I imagine you as like Jonah Vark. I can see you with your chain mill and your sword. And I'm like, oh my God, that is like the best compliment. She is a spirit guide for me. And I have two things by my bedside that I'm gonna share with you that are symbols that helped me also resonate and connect with her. Just a minute, let me grab them. Okay, one is this, an image of her that I got, gosh, years ago. I think it was 2,000. And 12, I've had this, it's just like a block of wood from an artist on Etsy, Jonah Vark, sits right by my bedside. And then this I got last year, this, St. Jonah Vark, you see that. This is kind of like a rosary, but it's a bracelet. You can do the rosary with this if you choose to do that. I'm not Catholic or anything like that, but I just, I thought it was so beautiful. And I read a book called The Way of the Rose, really focusing on divine feminine, Mother Mary, that kind of thing. And so I was encouraged to, and look at the floor delize, oh, I love this. I should get this tattooed. I really should. This should be one of my tattoos. And then this is adventuring. And this is these beads, they're adventuring. The ones I have on my ear are not adventuring. These are jade, actual jade. These aren't way more expensive than this. Adventuring is pretty cheap. But lots of hard energy here with adventuring. Do you see that in here? Just a second. There you go, there you go. All right, so we got her handy. So now she's here and we're accessing her. But people, as in people in your lives can be messengers. Like somebody will open their mouth and say something and you'll be like, oh my God, I was just thinking that. That's not a coincidence. That's what we call synchronicities. That is somebody else being a messenger to affirm something that you've already thought that you know, and they say it. Okay, that's not just a coincidence. That is not. It's like, you know, you say, hey, you're on the same wavelength. Yeah, you are, because it's an intuitive thing. You're connected that way. And they're bringing that message forward. It could be an affirmation or a confirmation for you kind of a thing, okay? Don't blow those things off, they're a big deal. Or messengers, like you turn on the radio and a song comes on exactly what you need. It has the lyrics are what you need, the energy of the music is what you need, that kind of a thing. In that case, it is probably one of your loved ones or a spirit guide that has brought forward that energy to you to be able to receive it in that forum. So the messenger, you might not know who that is, but you might actually, because it could be a message. It could be something, it could be a song you danced at your senior prom and it's, and you lost somebody, one of your friends and their friend group from high school or something like that. Do you know what I mean? It is a way to communicate and connect. So the messenger, also sometimes people randomly will say stuff or you'll have a conversation with somebody and it literally is something that came up in your meditation two days ago or in a book that you just read. You know, you're doing some self-help stuff and you were journaling about something, let's say like the topic of authenticity, let's say. And then somebody says something and you're like, oh my God, I just wrote about that or I just thought about that. That could be a way of your spirit gathering the data or information to give you that momentum that you need in order to support you. So it could be your inner spirit, your intuition, helping to coordinate with the universal forces to help bring you more into alignment or bring you more evidence to give you some momentum so that you can continue along that learning journey or that healing journey or whatever it is that you're on in regards to that. But the messenger could be your coworker. It could be somebody at the grocery store checkout. It could be one of your kids. I mean, the kids, oh my gosh, the kids, they just say stuff and you're like, what? Talk about truth tellers, those little kids, you know? And it's like, oh my gosh, you know, yes, they might be, grandpa might be talking through them to get you the message because they might say something that grandpa would have said and there's no way that five year old would have any clue because they never met that grandpa. They never met your dad because they were in the afterlife before or they were too little, they were just a baby to even know and they say something that sounds like an adult, that is a message, okay? They are giving you, they're being a messenger, okay? They're giving you information, okay? All right, so you can also get messages from signs and symbols like pennies or coins can be energy from the afterlife. It could be from a loved one. It could be often from archangels. Finding a feather, for example, could be an energetic from your archangels or from somebody from the afterlife. I think spirit guides do more simplistic things to like a feather and money, finding coins. Also though, like sacred geometries. So like if you're walking through a hotel and you look at the carpet and there's like these, maybe there's like a dodecahedron or it looks like a honeycomb or something like that. It might be, if you notice it, that sacred geometry shape, if you can make the connections might mean like a honeycomb would be like a divine feminine energy. Dodecahedron could be like universal consciousness energy. It could be like an energy of protection and energy of Archangel Michael, for example. But it depends on what it means for you, like the pattern in it. Things like flowers can also be representation, like very simple, like a red rose, love, right? But a yellow rose can mean a lot of different things, okay? So for me that yellow, anything yellow is connected to your solar plexus. So a sunflower, yellow tulips or a yellow rose, for example, okay? Or other symbols like a lotus. That's pretty basic, right? What does that mean? It could be in your opening. It could be you coming into a time in your life where you really have asked for some kind of a union, some kind of a true or more aligned connection with your spirit or your soul. So your physical body and your spiritual body are trying to come together. And so that lotus is just an affirmation of that, okay? Beautiful connection with your spirit and your body. It could be a symbol of embodiment as well, okay? So there's lots and lots of things, but it doesn't matter what I say it means. Very, very important. Whenever you're talking to a psychic or a life coach, use your own level of discernment. None of this stuff might even fit for you. But the point is there's something that does and your job is to find it. So spirituality and intuition and energetic awareness and messages and messages and signs and symbols are not one-size-fits-all. That's why there's so many, okay? And we're unique spirits. Our energy codes are different. And so I really encourage you to just open your eyes and open your heart as you're moving through your day and feel into, be aware of what is coming through for you and what makes you feel good and what gives you a warm and fuzzy in your heart and what makes you smile, that stuff, that signs and symbols from the universe, from your healing team and your spiritual helpers that you are loved and you are held and you are guided. You are not here alone. You are not here alone. We are with you. We are with you. Nice. Okay. I didn't even talk about my trees. Like I have trees that are such messengers for me. Maybe we'll have to talk about that in a different video. Maybe we'll have to talk about elements and things. Maybe I'll talk about nature a bit more. So thank you so much for being here, for being part of Above Life channel and for listening to this Sunday morning coffee podcast. I appreciate you very, very much.
