There are conversations that arrive like mirrors, reflecting not only the world around us, but the hidden terrain within ourselves. On today’s episode, we welcome Cindy Riggs, a psychic medium and trance channeler whose work bridges the mystical and the practical with remarkable clarity. Cindy Riggs is an intuitive healer and channel who helps people reconnect to their soul’s truth through energy work, channeling, and deep emotional healing.
What immediately stood out to me in this conversation was Cindy’s grounded understanding of spirituality. There was no attempt to escape reality, no spiritual performance, no airy detachment from human struggle. Instead, she spoke about consciousness as something deeply woven into everyday life—something practical, intimate, and transformative. Her perspective on fear, pain, and the chaos unfolding in humanity felt less like philosophy and more like a direct invitation to wake up from the stories we constantly tell ourselves.
Cindy explained that much of humanity’s suffering comes from forgetting who we truly are. “Your mind is about 5% of your consciousness,” she says, “the soul is the other 95%.” And yet, nearly all of our energy is spent obsessing over the tiny fraction we call the mind—trying to think our way through existence, solve every future problem before it happens, and control a reality that was never designed to be controlled. What we call anxiety, she suggests, is often the mind desperately trying to predict life instead of trusting it.
As our conversation deepened, Cindy shared profound insights about the intensifying chaos happening across the planet. She believes humanity is moving through multiple simultaneous paradigm shifts—socially, spiritually, technologically, and emotionally. The collective fear we see everywhere is not simply random dysfunction, but the result of millions of minds amplifying the same energies simultaneously. “Everything is extra right now,” she explains. More information. More stimulation. More fear. More division. But beneath all of it lies an opportunity for evolution.
One of the most powerful moments came during her channeling of the Angelic Realm. The message was surprisingly simple: fear is not truth. “Wherever there is fear, there is usually a lie,” the angels said. Fear arises from the illusion that we are only physical beings struggling to survive. But from the soul’s perspective, we are eternal consciousness temporarily having a human experience. The body may suffer, the personality may struggle, but the essence of who we are remains untouched.
And yet, the conversation did not dismiss pain or suffering in some naïve spiritual bypass. Cindy spoke honestly about physical pain, emotional trauma, and the overwhelming difficulty many people experience simply trying to survive daily life. What fascinated me was the perspective offered through the channeling: that suffering itself is not punishment, but part of the spectrum of experiences souls sometimes choose in order to understand compassion, contrast, resilience, and awakening. Not because suffering is inherently “good,” but because human life itself was designed to contain the full range of emotion and experience.
Another striking insight involved self-judgment. When Ganesha came through later in the conversation, the message shifted toward something deeply human and surprisingly joyful. He pointed out that many people spend far more time criticizing themselves than appreciating themselves. We search endlessly for external validation, external truth, external permission, while completely overlooking the sacredness already within us. “Most people are afraid of their own power,” he explained.
That line lingered with me long after the conversation ended.
Because perhaps that is the real crisis humanity faces—not simply fear of the world, but fear of remembering who we actually are.
The channelings repeatedly emphasized that truth is not found in governments, institutions, media, or even spiritual systems themselves. Truth lives inside us. But to access it requires silence, trust, and the willingness to stop identifying entirely with the frightened voice of the mind. In many ways, the path forward is less about acquiring more information and more about releasing the noise that prevents us from hearing ourselves clearly.
And through all the heaviness of the discussion, there remained an unexpected thread of joy. Ganesha reminded us not to take life so seriously. To laugh. To celebrate small moments. To recognize that even in chaos, beauty still exists. A tree. A sunrise. A kind word. A moment of peace. These things matter more than we realize.
SPIRITUAL TAKEAWAYS
- Fear is often created by identifying solely with the mind and forgetting the eternal nature of the soul.
- Humanity’s current chaos is part of a larger evolutionary shift designed to awaken deeper consciousness and self-awareness.
- The truth we seek is not outside of us—it already exists within our own soul and inner knowing.
In the end, Cindy’s message is both comforting and challenging. We are far more powerful than we have been taught to believe. And perhaps the greatest obstacle humanity faces is not the world itself, but the endless stories of fear we continue to repeat inside our own minds.
Please enjoy my conversation with Cindy Riggs.

What is the soul trying to remember through human suffering?
Cindy Riggs 0:03
Humans came here for the gamut of emotions, for the gamut of experiences. So much self damage that is being caused by a person's own mind. There's so much fear about the truth of who they really are. Most people are afraid of their own power. Wherever there is fear, there is usually a lie. I have to remind people that their soul is revealing the answer in the moment they require it, not in advance. It's the mind that's all like, oh, anxious, I gotta know in advance before I understood that things did happen for a reason, before I understood divine order, I'd really freak out.
Alex Ferrari 0:47
What advice do you have for these individuals around the world who are dealing with physical pain?
Cindy Riggs 0:52
It is important that you realize that...
Alex Ferrari 1:04
I like to welcome to the show Cindy Riggs. How you doing, Cindy?
Cindy Riggs 1:07
Thank you for having me. It's a great day. It's an..
Alex Ferrari 1:12
I appreciate you so much. Thank you so much for coming on the show. So, you're a psychic medium, correct?
Cindy Riggs 1:19
I am.
Alex Ferrari 1:20
You
Cindy Riggs 1:20
Among other things.. Yes,
Alex Ferrari 1:21
Among other things.
Cindy Riggs 1:23
First a channeler. I'm a psychic medium. I have developed a system of healing I call defragmenting, which is a combination of messages, hypnosis, energy, body work, and channeling,
Alex Ferrari 1:42
And what kind of channel did you do? What kind of channeling do you do?
Cindy Riggs 1:44
What kind
Alex Ferrari 1:46
Trans channel? Is it a trans channel? Or
Cindy Riggs 1:48
Yes.
Alex Ferrari 1:49
Okay.
Cindy Riggs 1:49
Yes. Well, semi-trans. I'm still aware, but I step aside. So my channeling.. I've been channeling for 30 years, and I've literally channeled 1000s of different aspects of the source in that time, so I mean, I could name and name and name for hours, but obviously,
Alex Ferrari 2:11
Right, so is there one specific group, or that you go to all the time, or is you just like kind of a subway, a subway station, the trains come in and out,
Cindy Riggs 2:20
Yeah, along my journey I kept thinking maybe one of these will become the one that I channel, and honestly, it hasn't. It's different every time. It's been different every time I've done an event, I've channeled books with different beings, such as the Buddha and Vishnu, and I just, I think it's customized for the audience, usually.
Alex Ferrari 2:46
Okay. Well,
Cindy Riggs 2:47
I never know who it's until it happens. So that's been a fascinating journey for me.
Alex Ferrari 2:53
Well, then let's, we'll see what happens today for this audience. We'll get into that later. So, before we jump into the channeling, what? When did you first realize that, that you were perceiving things that others were not perceiving?
Cindy Riggs 3:08
Well, I had some experiences as a child, but then mostly had that shut off. I remember my mother would say, "There's no such thing as ghosts. Okay, you know, because I felt afraid at night, you know, like kids do, but it was really when, well, yeah, a few things happened when I was doing hair back in the 80s, I had a client who was only 18 years old, and she had died in a car accident, she had hit a tree, fell asleep and hit a tree, and she came to me in a dream, and she was right in my face, and she said I lost control, and that's all she said, but her face was really swelled up, and when I went to the funeral home, that's what her face looked like, and I'm like, whoa, what was that? You know, how is that possible? You know that I knew what she was going to look like when I got here, but then you know a few things happened. I was driving with a friend, we were on our way to a dance club in the 80s, and something said, "Put your seatbelts on, because back then it wasn't a law, and I'm like, "Hey, I think we should put our seat belts on, and I felt really kind of goofy telling her that, but minutes later we were sandwiched between two cars, and she would have gone through the windshield had she not had a seat belt on. So I'm like, hmm, that was an interesting thing that just happened to me, you know. And then fast forward to receiving my first Reiki attunement, and then it all started opening up. I started hearing messages and seeing things, and then I'm like, "Oh, I can develop this. So that
Alex Ferrari 4:49
You weren't scared of it, you weren't scared of any.
Cindy Riggs 4:51
Interestingly, my whole life I was interested in paranormal. I'd read books about ghosts and UFOs and things, and I was still a little scared of it. But everything that's actually happened to me has not been frightening,
Alex Ferrari 5:04
So I've heard this from a lot of channelers and mediums and intuitives that they go through this process and they, they discover what they do, and then they start to develop them, but at what point did you decide to come out into the spotlight and just like, hey, I'm gonna do this as a profession,
Cindy Riggs 5:22
So I started doing readings for people pretty much right away in 1996 and, but it was at their houses, you know, it was in a little new age bookstore or another one, and to really, it was not very long, I think I really was just a few years before I got a website, you know, and a brochure, and started exhibiting at expos and speaking at expos, and so it was, I think, just three to four years later that I got the website and started putting myself out there still like partly in the closet, especially with channeling, because channeling - I had only seen one channeler, and that was Barbara Hand Clow. She channeled at an expo, and I thought, well, that's really fascinating, but you know, nobody was doing it. It was still kind of like
Alex Ferrari 6:20
Fringe.
Cindy Riggs 6:21
It was fringe, all right. Yeah, it was not
Alex Ferrari 6:24
Even fringe, even even fringe within the spiritual space. It was still kind of, yeah,
Cindy Riggs 6:30
Absolutely. And I was afraid to tell people that I was doing.. I wasn't even sure if it was real. I would only do it like in a room with a friend, you know, like it was hidden, it was hidden, and then I believe it was 2007 maybe I started doing public sessions because I channeled the Archangel Metatron one night, and he said, "You really need to channel at least once a month for your highest good, you know, for your well-being, and I'm like, oh man, I'm busy with my job, and you know, I don't know, I said, okay, I'll schedule it, I'll invite people, and then I'll make me do it, and now I do it almost every day, so
Alex Ferrari 7:19
With when you are channeling, is it from what I understand, you've had to kind of adjust your nervous system to handle the energy of the frequency that comes in. Yeah, because at the beginning it's probably a lot more draining, where now, after doing so many years, it's kind of like a muscle, like, oh yeah, it's muscle memory, essentially, right?
Cindy Riggs 7:39
Oh, my gosh, in the beginning it was like one word, and then a big pause, and then another word, and then another big pause, and as I understood it, because I met one of my spirit guides in a dream, it was so real, it was way too real to be a dream, and I said, Are you the one that's giving me these messages? She said, Yeah, it'd be faster if you typed them, okay? Because I was just handwriting, and so they, my guides explained to me that every time I would accommodate a spirit, I'd be stretched a little bit more, like a balloon, you know, like stretched and stretched, so you have to not force that, you know, situation, you can't force. I did try to force it, was the Master Jesus. I tried to force him, and he's like, "Well, it's not a good idea. I'm like, "Come on, 100%, and I got a really bad flu. So
Alex Ferrari 8:36
It completely wiped out your system.
Cindy Riggs 8:38
Yeah, it did. It did. Yes, my body has had to adjust, I've had to adjust, you know, my diet, meditate, you know, I have really clean diet, I, I'm doing everything I can do to maintain like the clearest channel possible for my clients and for everyone.
Alex Ferrari 8:57
So, when you decided to come out, did you get isolated from your, from your family, from your friends. Did you lose friends from about it, or was everyone on board? All like, oh yeah, your channel, let's do this.
Cindy Riggs 9:09
I honestly have some friends that probably still don't even know. It's just, you know, I have a personal Facebook page and a business Facebook page, and I don't share everything on the personal page. Still, it's just not necessary. I don't have to go out in the world every day and say I channel, you know. It's just something that if they find out, great. Most people are okay with it. I don't worry about it anymore. I'm at the point where it's like this is who I am, and this is something that has really been inspirational for me and for others, and I'm not trying to hide it, but I'm not announcing it either. I mean, I'm not - I'm announcing it on social media. And my website, and everywhere else,
Alex Ferrari 10:02
You're not hiding, you're not hiding, but you're not leading with it, essentially.
Cindy Riggs 10:06
Right, right, right. I do have a podcast that I channel on each episode, and if people discover it, great.
Alex Ferrari 10:16
If they don't, it's on them, essentially. It's not like you're hiding,
Cindy Riggs 10:21
They do discover it, and it freaks them out, then maybe some seeds were planted for them, you know. Things, things used to freak me out too, until I really experienced, you know, an angel. When, when I had this awakening, I, I thought, you know what, all this stuff I was taught as a child, I don't know what to believe in anymore, and I'm just going to believe in whatever I encounter, whatever I experience. And so then I experienced an angel, I'm like, okay, well, they must be real. And then I experienced some star beings, and I'm like, okay, I was hoping they were real, and I believe they are.
Alex Ferrari 11:02
It sounds like you come from a grounded place with this. It's, it's, yeah, you're not. I mean, not that there's anything wrong with being woo woo, but it comes from a very, like, a grounded woo woo, if you will. It's not the airy fairy version of it. It's like, no, this is what it is. This is what we're doing. This is the work we have to do. It's very kind of grounded, as opposed to very more in the mystical, airy kind of way that a lot of people in the spiritual space approach this work, which I appreciate. So, what we try to do is we try to ground everything.
Cindy Riggs 11:36
Yeah. Thank you. I appreciate that, because I've always thought of myself as a bridge between the mainstream and the spiritual, you know, to help people to get there gently, you know. We don't have to, we don't have to frighten them, we don't have to be intense and dramatic,
Alex Ferrari 11:53
Right. It's just, it's just a matter of fact, like, look, this is just what it is, with so, with everything going on right now in the world, what have you been seeing about what's the insanity of what's happening, and why? In all honesty, why it's happening, because everything seems to be intensifying so much around us,
Cindy Riggs 12:15
And
Alex Ferrari 12:16
Yeah, why is that happening? And what do you see for us?
Cindy Riggs 12:18
Well, first of all, we got more people on the planet than ever before, so more minds in the collective, more minds contributing to the collective, more minds contributing to the collective fear. Obviously, more platforms than ever before for information and media, and so there's. it's just extra right now, everything's just extra, you know, and of course the contrast becomes more intense of duality. So this is when this is what we've been preparing for, you know, spiritually. This is what the spirits have been talking about for ages, what the Buddha was talking about, you know, the middle way. Don't get caught up in duality. Bring yourself into your center and know that you know you can manipulate your reality. And I'm, I'd have to say that I'm really passionate about that piece, which I call command of festation, which is the title of my newest book. I'm really passionate about the soul alignment piece, and so why is it happening? I think it's because everything's extra, but it's also because there are multiple paradigm shifts happening for the purpose of evolution, we keep repeating history, and we're not learning, so we kind of have to be jostled a little bit. That's what I think is happening, and that's what I've been hearing.
Alex Ferrari 13:49
So, yeah, we're being, we're being forced to evolve essentially by the situation. I mean, because,
Cindy Riggs 13:55
Yeah,
Alex Ferrari 13:56
We're being nudged in a rough, a rough sledgehammer kind of,
Cindy Riggs 14:02
We're being nudged a little more than before, I think,
Alex Ferrari 14:06
And it doesn't.
Cindy Riggs 14:06
Technology is part of it. Technology is a very exciting part of it, I think. I think AI is an exciting part of it. Some people are afraid of it. I'm not afraid of it. I think it's a very interesting piece of this, I think it shows us, I think AI is showing us that, you know, everything's just programmed, everything's just data, you know, and I love the quantum physics perspective too,
Alex Ferrari 14:37
It's like the realities, and yeah, yeah, yeah, absolutely
Cindy Riggs 14:40
Right, and so why is it happening? Because we're not getting it, and we need to get it quicker.
Alex Ferrari 14:49
Fair enough. Now you mentioned the middle way, which the Buddha's teaching of the middle way, and in spiritual, like trying to go inward, and like. You said whatever I experience, and so on. You know, this is one thing I always.. when I ask intuitives, when I ask mystics, I always say I ask this question because it is a practicality of the world that I find interesting. If you're all your life is focused on spiritual evolution, so like I'm going to the Himalayas, I'm going to find a cave, I'm going to sit and I'm going to meditate for 10 hours, 12 hours a day, if not longer, and that's all I'm going to do, I get that, that's a path, that's one of many paths to get to that same place, but when you are physically challenging, like being challenged by your health, by pain, by other circumstances, that it almost completely takes over the processing power of the mind. Without the mind, you can't really focus your consciousness anywhere, at least in the, in the sequence, in this situation, you have to master the mind in order to do it. That's part of the game, but when the mind is completely taken over by pain, or by illness, or by mental health issues, it's very difficult to, you know, sing to meditate under banditry and find enlightenment. So, what advice do you have? Because there is a lot of people out there in the world that are in pain that are so swamped with stimuli, but that's different. You can actually remove stimuli if you can, but pain health issues. I'm just curious, what advice you have, or what spirit has to say about that.
Cindy Riggs 16:45
Right, that's a, that's a tough one. I know I still get migraines sometimes. I understand that pain can really take over. I think that if we have techniques now, certainly I could channel some information about that too, but I believe we have techniques to, well, I know I have a hypnosis technique that can remove pain, because I do it with people and they're astounded. Now, is it is it permanent? No, it's temporary, but it's a technique that they learn and then they can do for themselves, but when it's severe, when it's like an illness that is putting you toward the end of your life. Yes, I understand, and we do have medications, but sometimes they don't work, and sometimes people really are. But do they have a meditation technique? What I meant by the middle way is more of the stoic perspective of, you know, I can choose to have no opinion, and it's interesting what we do when we talk to the pain. Have you ever done that? Like, I don't know if you ever have pain, but it's like, hey, pain, I see you, see what you're doing. Thank you, thank you for the message. But I don't need the message anymore. You don't need to keep sending the signal. I got it. I'm going to take care of it. I'm going to do something about it, or I'm going to try not to worry about it, because the worrying about it makes it worse. You know, the stress we focused on amplify.
Alex Ferrari 18:18
Yeah,
Cindy Riggs 18:18
So yeah, that is that is a tough one, and that's where we really have our faith tested, you know, in whatever our spiritual beliefs are. Yeah, that's.. I don't know if I have the.. I don't know if I have the answer to that.
Alex Ferrari 18:33
That's a really interesting point of view, because you are tested beyond your.. you're tested in your spiritual space, because again, and everyone is, everything's hunky dory. It's wonderful to, to you know, be like, hey, man, everything's cool, everything is great. And, and, like, I always joke, I'm like, no one looks for Jesus in the Amalfi Coast on a yacht while they're drinking champagne and eating lobster. They're not, they're not looking for Jesus, not that they can't be spiritual people who have that boat, and it's on him off the coast, but generally speaking, they're not looking for an answer, because they just don't - they're good, they don't need to.
Cindy Riggs 19:10
That's right
Alex Ferrari 19:10
No reason for it. You have to be forced into, and it's kind of a follow-up to our conversation about what we're going through as a consciousness right now, as a planet. Right now, is that we're being forced to grow, we're being forced, and it ain't easy, and it ain't fun. And do you agree that you really don't understand why things are happening to you when they're happening to you, but only after time has passed, you look back and go, oh, thank God, oh, I get it now. Oh, I was being prepped for this, or oh God. Okay,
Cindy Riggs 19:44
Absolutely, I do. And yet, even in the moment, I try my best to remind myself everything happens for a reason. This is divine order. Everything actually, one of my favorite affirmations is everything always works out perfectly for me. You know, like, tell your brain that your brain will believe it, your body will follow, you know, like, okay, there's a reason for this, breathe, breathe through it, but you know, before I had that, before I understood that things did happen for a reason, before I understood divine order, yeah, I'd really freak out, and, and I still have clients all day long. Why did this happen? Why did this happen? Like, you might, maybe it's, you're not supposed to know yet, you know? Maybe you will understand when all those pieces come together
Alex Ferrari 20:37
From your point of view as a, as a medium and an intuitive, and a channel, you know. You obviously understand the concept of karma, you know, that we have to pay for a balancing of energies of something that we did in another life, or even in this life, a balancing of it. But I find I find it that, and it might not be all every case, but a lot of times, even the balancing of karma, that pain, that situation, that thing that we're going through is a lesson not only from the karma but for this life. In other words, oh, thank God that happened, this horrible thing happened to me, because if I hadn't had that horrible thing happen to me, I would have never gone down this path, so the story that comes to mind, I don't know why, maybe because it was just may 4, and I'm a Star Wars geek, but, but George Lucas, when he was a young man, he didn't really know what he wanted to do, so he wasn't going to become a writer or a director or anything like that yet, he was all into race cars, and he needed to wrap his car around a tree and almost die to be shaken out of that to be able to go on the path that he was supposed to go on. Now that was a very painful thing to do, but it pushed him into the direction that obviously affected, you know, billions of people around the world,
Cindy Riggs 22:08
Right. And he introduced us to the force, you know, that concept. Interestingly, I had a similar situation in which I had to flip a car upside down a ditch to wake up, so fortunately, fortunately, I had a seat belt on, and I was hanging from the belt, you know, but I wasn't really injured, but it shook me, it turned my world upside down, and said, "Get out of your head, get out of your ego and get on the path, and I didn't know what it meant at the time. Of course, I got a new car out of it
Alex Ferrari 22:50
It, the insurance paid for it, but it's I'm trying to wrap, and maybe it's something that's unexplainable, but I'm trying to wrap reason around pain and why it's there, and to help people deal with it, because it is something that a lot of, I mean, everybody deals with it now, every human being deals with it in one way, shape, or form, but some people deal with it more, and some people go down dark rabbit holes because of pain or fear, a lot of people are terrified about what's going on right now, when we, when we bring in your channel, which will, whoever will show up, we'll talk about that in a minute, you know. I'll ask, I'll ask them the same question, but there are so many people who are terrified out there because of all of the extra, all the extra information, all the extra stuff, like we now know when someone farts across the planet, like we know that something happened across the planet, we really shouldn't. It's not affecting us, it's not affecting our life specifically. You know, you're in a safe room, I'm in a safe room, but I really don't need to know. You know, I think sometimes all the like all the minute details about everything that's happening, because it's just overwhelmed,
Cindy Riggs 24:03
Right, and we can only store so much in our brain and in our energy fields, and that's one thing I specialize in, is clearing people's energy fields, because they don't realize how many thoughts and emotions they're storing out here, not to mention in here,
Alex Ferrari 24:20
The dark, like the icky stuff.
Cindy Riggs 24:22
Well, I call it unnecessary, or you know, like obsolete, or it could be the overthinking that they're holding on to. Just anytime we're overthinking something, I just.. I'm trying to bring everything to simplicity, you know. Your mind, I believe the mind is about 5% of our consciousness, the soul is the other 95 It's like if you're trying to use your mind to figure stuff out, or to get answers, or to find solutions. Well, guess what? If you already had it in your mind, you'd know it. So it's not there, it's.. it's somewhere else, you know. It's.. it's in your. Your true essence, does that make sense?
Alex Ferrari 25:02
That was actually a profound statement. I've never thought of it that way before. Where the brain, the brain is 5% and if you're looking for the answers in the brain, if you have had the answers, it would have given it to you already. So, where the, when the answers, when the answers come, it's not coming from the brain, it's coming from source,
Cindy Riggs 25:21
Right! Yeah, and I have to remind people that their soul is revealing the answer in the moment they require it, not in advance. It's the mind that's all like, oh, anxious, I gotta know in advance, but if we trust it, it's going to reveal the answer. But yeah, we rack our brains. I used to rack my brain all the time, but that was useless waste of energy.
Alex Ferrari 25:47
We do a lot of that, don't we?
Cindy Riggs 25:49
We do. And another thing that astounds me that I want to bring up is this amazing technique that someone's higher self gave me, because I communicate with my clients' higher selves to get information about how to assist them in a session, because this woman came in and she goes, "I know, I want you to separate my ego. I'm like, "Okay, no idea how to do that. So, so she said, "I want you to remove it. I'm like, "Alright, you know, short of dying, you know, I didn't know how else we would lose our ego, so I just said, 'Higher self, what have you got? And it said, 'Here's what you do, and it gave me a technique where I can separate a person's ego and instantly they're just like, 'Why was that even an issue? You know, like it, it truly separates the energy body that is the ego, the fear, the inner critic, and I, I send it into another dimension, and I seal it out of them, and they're, they're different. Pain can disappear, not always, but sometimes it does, even chronic pain, and it's astounding to me, and I teach people how to do that for themselves too. But that, if you know how to do that.
Alex Ferrari 27:11
Hey guys, I really hope you're enjoying this conversation. And the one thing I've noticed recently is that most of you are not subscribed to our YouTube channel. It's free, and it really helps us out a lot. So, if you haven't subscribed, please subscribe, like, and share this content, so we can continue to help elevate the consciousness of the planet. Thank you so much. And let's get back to the conversation.
Cindy Riggs 27:33
It can alleviate pain, it can help you to connect with, you know, your source, your truth, your soul, which is an aspect of the source,
Alex Ferrari 27:42
So with all of the sessions you've had over the years, what's been the, the, the funniest session you've had, and the most intense, and the most intense,
Cindy Riggs 27:52
Funniest. Oh, interesting. I'm gonna go with most intense first, because I'm not sure about funniest, although I do, I have two little some spirits that have a sense of humor, and we all should have a sense of humor. Seriously, life people take life too seriously, and then they get wrapped up into that, but the most intense was probably channeling. There is this being that I channel, and I don't know how to describe it. It is beyond gender, it is beyond identity, really. It calls itself Ashtar Ra, which is not Ashtar that some people have heard of. It's Ashtar Rah with a capital R in there, and it is the closest thing to source that I know, and it, it literally comes into me and provides a direct source energy through my heart center into a person's crown as they're lying on my table, and it is so intense that I literally, my body is like immobilized while it's happening, and it's just this blast of the brightest golden white light that I see coming out through my heart into their crown, and it blasts open their pineal, and I don't know what else it does, I don't know a lot about some of the techniques I do, I just do them because they're powerful, but that, that is one of the most powerful that I recall. And, of course, I've done sessions with that being too, with groups where they do like where it does recalibrations on people and all kinds of re-patterning and things, that's that's how I use my channeling the most now. It's not so much for information, it's for energy work. So I'm channeling energy work, and it's talking to them too, but it's really the energy that I'm channeling that is. Re patterning or recalibrating or helping the person in some way that I don't even understand, and what I've learned is that the less I try to figure it out or understand it, the more powerful it is. So I'm just in surrender most of the time, I just allow it. The funniest, the funniest, I honestly can't think of a funny one.
Alex Ferrari 30:22
There's never been a weird, like, just a funny, weird, like Uncle Bob shows up and just says something crazy.
Cindy Riggs 30:29
I don't typically know, I don't typically have, I don't typically have ancestors show up. I've been tapping into such higher frequencies for so long that I'm not typically tapped into the ancestral plane most of the time, so my mediumship is mostly direct dial for people. If I'm given a name, I can usually contact them, but no, I can't think of a funny one. Actually, I can't think of one where we were laughing.
Alex Ferrari 30:59
Fair enough. No, it's all good. It's all good. So, so let's talk about the channeling. Is there what's what's the processes you don't know who's coming? How will we do a channeling session for the audience?
Cindy Riggs 31:14
Well, I would simply just say, who wants to speak to this audience,
Alex Ferrari 31:18
And they'll just come in, and then you'll say, oh, it's this person, or you, but do you know beforehand who's coming?
Cindy Riggs 31:23
I don't always know beforehand. Earlier, maybe an hour ago, I said, 'Who wants me to channel them? And I saw Ganesha,
Alex Ferrari 31:31
Ganesha, really,
Cindy Riggs 31:33
But I don't know if that's who it is now. So, since I've been talking about Ashtara as well, which is so high level now, I would do want to say that the channeling that I do is pretty high level, and it's mostly about soul integration and light body activation, that kind of stuff. But we'll see. We'll see. Your questions are about pain, right?
Alex Ferrari 31:57
Oh yeah, I would say pain and fear are the two big things, because I think that's something that I'm been asked a tremendous amount about, is dealing with not only emotional pain, which is, you know, our trauma that we all, every human being, goes through.
Cindy Riggs 32:15
Yeah,
Alex Ferrari 32:15
Physical pain is another one, and then the fear is, I feel that the fear is becoming rampant around the world, even because of all the information and all of that.
Cindy Riggs 32:26
Yeah,
Alex Ferrari 32:27
So those are the main, those are the main things that I would probably talk about. I mean, obviously, but anything in regards to alignment, anything of cards, cards to our soul's journey, what we're doing here, all that kind of stuff.
Cindy Riggs 32:39
I'm actually getting that now I hope this isn't too much, but I'm getting that it could be the angelic realm. I can channel the entire angelic realm, all of them, if that would..
Alex Ferrari 32:51
I've.. I've this show, we're almost at 700 episodes. I've had all sorts of people, I've had ascended bastards, I've had angels, I have the Elohim, so it's like, sure, the angelic realm. Why not? You know,
Cindy Riggs 33:07
Why not? It's just sometimes it's hard for people to understand that it's all of them. Well, they will, but
Alex Ferrari 33:15
Yeah, they speak out of one voice as a group. Is it? Yeah, isn't yeah, that we deal with that all the time. I mean, it's not new to me. It might be new to people listening. Yeah, it's all through one voice. I get it.
Cindy Riggs 33:27
That's actually what I'm picking up on for that discussion.
Alex Ferrari 33:31
All right, perfect. Perfect. And if we could bring Ashtara in later, we'd love to. If he's..
Cindy Riggs 33:37
Oh, sure.
Alex Ferrari 33:38
If they are available, it's available, however you want to refer to them.
Cindy Riggs 33:42
Yeah, I prefer.. I don't like they, because they sounds plural to me, but it's
Alex Ferrari 33:49
Like there's a.. like it's a collective as well. I was.. or is it just its own?
Cindy Riggs 33:53
No, I don't. I know that it is so massive and powerful, and I can't assign a gender to it, but I also can't assign a gender to angels, because the angels have said, please, please tell people that we are genderless, so I don't assign a gender to angels.
Alex Ferrari 34:13
All right, and what's your, and what is your process to go in and out of trance, so people understand?
Cindy Riggs 34:19
Well, for this, for this realm, and for Ashtara, I've channeled them for so long that the integration will be pretty quick. I just invite them in, they merge with me their energy, and I will then step my consciousness aside, and then let them take over,
Alex Ferrari 34:39
Take over, and then I'll ask some questions, they'll, they'll, I'm sure, want to say a whole bunch of stuff.
Cindy Riggs 34:45
Sure,
Alex Ferrari 34:45
So
Cindy Riggs 34:46
I'm gonna get first.
Alex Ferrari 34:47
Yes, dehydrate, hydrate, hydrate. Yeah, I've heard. All right, let's get this into it. Thank you so much.
Cindy Riggs 34:55
All right, Angelic Realm, come on in, you. And while I'm merging with them, I just want to talk about angels momentarily, because so many people still ask me, well, how do I call on an angel, how do I get help from an angel? I'm like, just say I need an angel, come here, you know, just come here, they will, they will respond, and they typically don't interfere with our lives unless we ask. We have to ask, and I've had the angels say that no job is too big or small for them to assist us, but they always also say we won't assist you in changing someone else's behavior, so don't ask for that. I'm still seeing Ganesha here, which is interesting. You know, the remover of obstacles.. I don't know if he wants to speak. He might. It's not unusual for me to channel more than one group or being in a session,
Alex Ferrari 36:01
Okay. Perfect, that's
Cindy Riggs 36:03
You're the timekeeper, so.. oh,
Alex Ferrari 36:05
I'm good. I'm good,
Cindy Riggs 36:07
Okay. I'm gonna step my consciousness out, and some people can actually see me standing beside my body if they are able to see energy. We are the angelic realm, and we are pleased and honored to be in your divine presence today. We are ready to assist you.
Alex Ferrari 36:25
Yes, my first question is for people who are living in fear of all of the things that are happening in the world today. What advice do you have for them?
Cindy Riggs 36:35
Fear only comes from survival. The fear is about survival, and what we would say from the highest level of love is that your survival as a physical human, yes, we understand your fear, we understand your fear of physical survival, but your soul is always intact. Know this, that you will always survive anything and everything that occurs, even if your body perishes, you will survive, and you will be intact. Your soul is always intact, it always has been, and it always will be. So, if you could focus on more of your true essence, your soul, that's who you really are. We have been speaking through this one for many years to help people understand who they really are, maybe not who, but what they really are, because you are not a body, you are not a personality, you are not even your thought, you are this eternal essence that is in the core of you, that is peace and love, and all you have to do is remember that you can meditate and meditate and meditate, but are you reminding yourself of this truth? Are you reminding yourself that you are an aspect of the divine source, just like we are? And from our perspective, we are no different than you. So, the fear, the fear is about survival, the fear is about duality, the fear is about someone being right and someone being wrong. The fear is about what is going to happen. The fear is all of the thoughts that aren't the truth. Wherever there is fear, there is usually a lie, and so, if you are a seeker of truth, or one who wishes to focus on truth, not the truth of the world, or of a politician, or of something that is happening, but the truth of all that is, then you will not have fear, you will not be in fear, you will not choose fear, because it is always a choice that is something also to remember, that fear is always a choice of thought, and then the emotions that you have that match that fear are created by the thought, so are there things to be afraid of here? Many things, but in your society, where you are sitting right now, you are rarely chased by a lion or have a gun to your head, although some people do at times, but that is when you ought to really be in fear, not every day with concepts of things that could possibly harm you, maybe there is a lot of unnecessary fearful thinking in your. Collective, and it is poisoning the collective with fear, so that there are people becoming fearful now that weren't fearful before, because you're all connected like a string of lights, so the more of those that can center themselves, remember the truth, the truth of all that is, and that there is truly nothing to be afraid of, unless it is a serious situation where your life is in danger. Okay, you are allowed to be afraid there for a moment, but then you have trauma, you have so many who are holding on to trauma as they are replaying the fear, they are replaying the event, and they are holding on to that for whatever reason, identity or proof of unhappiness, for whatever reason, that is also unnecessary, because you can easily release those things with a choice. We cannot emphasize enough the power of your choice, that is your true power here, your free will choice is this helpful.
Alex Ferrari 41:24
It is. Thank you so much.
Cindy Riggs 41:27
May we clarify anything regarding fear?
Alex Ferrari 41:29
No, I think we got.. I think we understood that the next question I have for you is why is humanity consciousness going through the turmoil, the chaos that seems to be intensifying every year that goes by every year is more intense than the year before. Why is this happening to us right now?
Cindy Riggs 41:52
The intensity, or the turmoil, as you have labeled it, is occurring because of the concepts of turmoil and chaos. The more you think of those concepts, the more you are amplifying those concepts. We are not saying those things are not happening. We are saying that the concept is the first step. The second step is that there is more and more resistance to change. There is more resistance to governments, to anything that is happening in your world. Anyone that looks at it and says, I don't like that, that is wrong, or that is chaos, or that is unpleasant, or that is dangerous, then that is feeding into that. It is just becoming a larger and larger body of fears, multiple fears about things. That is why it seems to be intensifying. It is intensifying. We can see it, and we are sending you so much love all of the time to attempt to counteract what you are choosing, but humidity keeps choosing it over and over with your, with your news reports, and with all of these things that you think are terrible that are happening, but all of these things have always happened, and you are safer than ever before, physically safer than ever before. But it is a focus upon what is wrong, rather than a focus upon what is beautiful and true, like nature. It does not present any chaos unless there is a storm, but there is a reason for that, that is a balancing of earth.
Alex Ferrari 43:48
So, then, what is the reason for this? A balancing of human humanity's consciousness,
Cindy Riggs 43:54
Indeed. The reason is for humanity to realize that they have created it, not the little details of it, but as a whole, and there is still not an understanding of oneness in most of humanity, there's not an understanding of how each person is contributing toward the chaos or the peace, because there is much peace here too. And what do you choose to focus on? Do you focus on the peace? Do you look at your news report and say how interesting something is coming into balance, or something is about to come into balance, or perhaps there is some karma that is occurring here, even though humans can't truly understand karma 100% but if you can stand back without emotion and. Say, how interesting you can choose to have no opinion, and that is where you find peace. But if it is a situation where you must express an opinion, then we suggest that you do so without emotion. Does this make sense?
Alex Ferrari 45:23
It does. It does with the, with the idea of physical pain and not being able to focus on a spiritual path, or when it becomes debilitating, even on a daily basis, that's a very different concept than traumatic pain, or or psychological pain, or trauma, or trauma in general, where those are things you can reposition, reframe, and do work on to heal, but when the body is acting in a way that is causing pain all the time, it's very difficult to function, not only in society, let alone trying to find a path to a spiritual awakening or spiritual path. It's very difficult because the mind is preoccupied completely. What advice do you have for these individuals around the world who are dealing with physical pain in a way that it's interfering with not only their daily life but their spiritual journey.
Cindy Riggs 46:26
Indeed, an excellent question, and we know how difficult it is, even though we don't have a complete understanding as we have never incarnated, but yes, we are watching this all day long, and there are many who have chosen to experience pain here. This may not make sense to you, because perhaps you have been told that life is to be about growth and joy and freedom, and it is. It still is, and yet perhaps you had the freedom to choose a painful path. We know this is difficult to understand, but you do orchestrate your blueprint for your lifetime, and there are sometimes you experience a lifetime in which everything was easy, and you didn't understand what pain was. You didn't understand why people would complain about it. And then perhaps you wanted to understand it. The problem is that you are living one minuscule piece of a gigantic puzzle, and you don't know what's happening on the other pieces. You can't see the pictures on the other pieces, and that's where your faith has to be unwavering in your source, even though the pain is there, you have to remember that it is temporary, even though it might be for half of your life, that is still very temporary with regard to the biggest picture of all that is, and so you have to learn how to breathe through it and trust and use all of the resources you have to alleviate it, especially the mind, but we know that your question is about how difficult it is for the mind to focus, and that's when some techniques are helpful that bypass the mind.
Alex Ferrari 48:38
And do you have any final words for the audience that are watching right now, that we need to hear.
Cindy Riggs 48:42
Yes, you are all love. At your core is pure love and peace. At your core is a being that is not different than we are. At your core, you are an aspect of the one that created us all. That is your true consciousness. If you can just remember this a few times a day, or a few more times a day, you will then begin to see it in others. You will remember that that is the truth of everyone else, everyone else, and that will help you to elevate yourself above judgment, above duality, above what you call chaos into a space of allowing and accepting rather than resisting. We are always here to assist you, and we will always be sending love to your planet and to all of its inhabitants, because that is our purpose, and every time you ask us for assistance, we get to elevate our frequency a little more, in other words, we get to evolve. Even more, when we get the opportunity to assist you, we thank you for allowing us to be with you today.
Alex Ferrari 50:12
Thank you,
Cindy Riggs 50:17
Thank you. Angelic Realm, always appreciate your assistance. Was that helpful, Alex?
Alex Ferrari 50:23
Yeah, it was. It was. I think I think it's going to be helpful for people listening and watching.
Cindy Riggs 50:28
I'm going to stay in a semi trance, if that's okay. And I'm going to bring in Ashtara
Alex Ferrari 50:32
Please,
Cindy Riggs 50:34
Because Ashtara has a few things to say, but more importantly, energy to share that everyone will be able to feel
Alex Ferrari 50:42
Okay
Cindy Riggs 50:43
And benefit from so Ashtara. This will be fairly quick, and it is a very high frequency. I wouldn't be surprised if some people's ears begin to ring, as mine are, I or even your ears can pop with this high frequency. This is a massive consciousness. I am asked, how ra honored to be in your presence. We are one. We are one with the source of all that is. If you remember this one thing, then you can be free. You can elevate yourself above all adversity, and I want you to know that it is possible, it is possible to rise above even pain, even physical pain practice, so that if you are not experiencing physical pain right now, that if you ever do in the future, you will already be elevated to the frequency that will help you manage it more easily. So now I will transmit energy through the palms of her hands and through her heart center, her throat center, and her third eye to you, to your hands, your heart, your throat, and your third eye. This will help to activate you, to open up your awareness, and to elevate your frequency. I begin. Open up your hearts. It is always safe to have your heart open. You are always safe. You have received the highest frequency of golden light and love that it's possible for you to receive at this time. Some of it will integrate later, as much of it still remains in your energy field, waiting for you to allow its integration. Be gentle with yourselves, love yourselves, be kind to yourselves. Whatever is happening in your world. Know that you are intact. Do what you believe you are meant to do. Remember that your truth is inside you. It is inside all of you. I'm Ashtara. Thank you, Ashtara.
Cindy Riggs 53:57
How was that, Alex? Did you feel
Alex Ferrari 53:58
A little something in the head,
Cindy Riggs 54:02
Yeah, good
Alex Ferrari 54:05
In the forehead,
Cindy Riggs 54:06
And I'm sure you receive all kinds of transmissions from all kinds of people.
Alex Ferrari 54:11
I've had multiple experiences in studio and in Zoom. It's been heck of a ride. You okay?
Cindy Riggs 54:19
Yeah, yeah, I'm fine. I'm so fine, so high now.
Alex Ferrari 54:24
Does anybody else want to come in before we go?
Cindy Riggs 54:27
That was all that
Alex Ferrari 54:30
They were knocking on the Ganesha. Ganesha,
Cindy Riggs 54:31
No, I see Ganesha here. If you want, I can bring him in. If you want,
Alex Ferrari 54:36
I've never had Ganesha on the show.
Cindy Riggs 54:37
You haven't.
Alex Ferrari 54:38
I haven't. I've had a lot of other.. I've had never had Ganesha on the show, so yeah.
Cindy Riggs 54:42
Hey, Ganesha, come here. You ready? Okay. He's like, 'Thank you. I even saw him while the angels were here. You've never had Ganesha on the show.
Alex Ferrari 54:56
Never had Ganesha on the show.
Cindy Riggs 55:01
Well, for those who aren't familiar, it's the elephant-headed Hindu god, and he is the remover of obstacles. So, speaking of pain, speaking of chaos, he's a good
Alex Ferrari 55:13
Okay
Cindy Riggs 55:15
Okay, okay, I'll separate in a moment. I'm Ganesha, pleased to be with you, and it's interesting that you asked her about a funny session, because even though she can't think of one that's funny, I have been really fun with her and with her clients, so she has had a great deal of fun. I would like to say, don't take life so seriously. You can make anything fun. It is important that you realize that no matter what the task, no matter what the situation, you can decide to make it fun. And I suggest that you find ways to do that. It doesn't matter if you are filing or if you are driving a long distance or if you are managing a court case, you can still have some fun, crack a joke, be be light, be light with yourself. I see what I see in humans is more judgment on themselves than with other people, even or even situations. So, when you were talking about chaos and things happening in your world, what you haven't talked about yet, and I'm so glad you asked for me to speak to you. You haven't talked about the fact that there is so much judgment about the self, so much self damage that is being caused by a person's own mind. There's so much fear about the truth of who they really are. Most people are afraid of their own power, and so when, when one talks about non-judgment, when they talk about allowing others to be who they are, accepting them for who they are, having compassion, how much compassion are you having for yourself? How much love and acceptance are you having of yourself? That is what I would really like to emphasize today, is not just love for their, your, your personality, but love for your truth, your your gifts, your abilities, your sensitivities, your emotional intelligence, or even your intellectual intelligence. How much are you celebrating yourself not to be selfish, but to celebrate the truth of what you are, and then celebrate everyone else, and then celebrate your life. You can have a little celebration every day. This does not mean drink heavily every day or party. What it means is say something kind to yourself, say something kind to someone else. Celebrate the weather, celebrate the tree, celebrate the beautiful scenery, celebrate all that is wonderful about your lives, rather than focusing on what doesn't seem to be correct or appropriate, because everything passes away, everything changes. Remember that too, that no matter what it is, it's temporary. It's all temporary here, so use your temporary time here wisely celebrate, and of course I am available to help you remove your obstacles, whatever they may be, but I will also say that obstacles, more obstacles are beliefs that there is an obstacle or a block, then there is actually a block. Do you understand this?
Alex Ferrari 59:28
I do. I do. My question to you is, what truth is humanity refusing to face right now?
Cindy Riggs 59:36
What truth? What one truth is humanity refusing to face, I would say they are refusing to face the truth. They look for truth in religion, they look for truth in politicians, they look for truth in organizations, and you. They are looking for truth outside of themselves. They are refusing to face that truth is inside, and they are afraid of it, because they're afraid of how powerful it really is. How is that for an answer?
Alex Ferrari 1:00:16
It was a beautiful answer. Thank you. What is the soul trying to remember through human suffering,
Cindy Riggs 1:00:22
The soul is trying to remember, or the person is trying to remember who their soul really is. The soul doesn't need to remember anything, and the soul doesn't need to find peace. The soul doesn't need to learn or do anything in particular, although it does have a magnificent, authentic expression it would like to share, which is usually light and love and kindness, but the soul is always, it is always there through the journey that the incarnate individual, part animal and part spirit, decided to have decided to program into this existence for for multiple experiences, sometimes pain, of course, sometimes bliss humans came here for the gamut of emotions, for the gamut of experiences, and so the soul is there, always quietly there, the guru inside waiting for the mind to focus on it, so it, it just wants joy, it just wants expansion, it wants learning, it wants fullness of experiences, it wants fulfillment in many ways, and it also wants to contribute, it wants to contribute to humanity's well-being, to the evolution of humanity, and it is evolving through all of that on its way back to the source. How is that for an answer?
Alex Ferrari 1:02:14
It was great. Thank you. And do you have any final words for the audience?
Cindy Riggs 1:02:18
Yes. Notice if the obstacles in your life are real or imagined. Notice if the obstacles you see in your world are tangible or intangible. If they are tangible, do your best to make it fun through it. If you are in pain, all you can do is your best, but remember that you have limitless support from the spirit world in miraculous ways, and once you know that, then miraculous things can happen.
Alex Ferrari 1:03:02
Thank you.
Cindy Riggs 1:03:04
Thank you, Ganesha. He's fun. Yes, yes, he's joyful.
Alex Ferrari 1:03:13
He's very joyful, very joyful. I have a question about Ganesh, real quick. Obviously, there's not a lot of beings walking around with elephant heads on their head, generally speaking, other than elephants, is is the image of Ganesh that we have in the Hindu tradition a kind of like analogy, not an analogy, but a myth or a representation of a being that was an actual Ganesh that walked on, or but then you know throughout history they're like, oh, he's wise, or this or that, they put an elephant head on it, and the other, and the other one, I forgot the other, the monkey, uh,
Cindy Riggs 1:03:50
Oh, yes, Hanuman,
Alex Ferrari 1:03:52
Hanuman, yes,
Cindy Riggs 1:03:53
Hanuman, he's fascinating too, because he will come into a session to lift grief off of people,
Alex Ferrari 1:04:00
Yeah, so there you go. So this is my question. So that's my question to you, is it is it a representation or was it literal? Like, how did that come?
Cindy Riggs 1:04:09
I believe it's a representation. I believe it's.. I believe many of the gods are representations, so that people could understand their essence, you know, like the wise elephant,
Alex Ferrari 1:04:22
Right.
Cindy Riggs 1:04:23
We are the brush out of the way, you know.
Alex Ferrari 1:04:26
And then GaneshA was a being on earth at one point, incarnated. I
Cindy Riggs 1:04:31
can't confirm or deny that.
Alex Ferrari 1:04:33
Fair enough. I was just.. that's just my own curiosities, my own curiosity. Sidney, it's been such a pleasure talking to you. Where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing?
Cindy Riggs 1:04:43
Cindyriggs.com primarily on Facebook. I'm Cindy Riggs Psychic, but cindyriggs.com has all of the information. It's got my podcasts, got my books, it's got you can schedule a session remote or in person, it's got all the info. It's got my whole journey on there, and I just, my passion is helping others to elevate and awaken.
Alex Ferrari 1:05:12
Beautiful. Thank you so much for being on the show. Thank you so much for sharing your abilities with us,
Cindy Riggs 1:05:17
Thank you, Alex,
Alex Ferrari 1:05:17
And I appreciate you and everything you're doing to awaken the plan, so thank you,
Cindy Riggs 1:05:21
And I appreciate you and everything you do. Thank you very much.
