What energetic shifts do you feel are happening on the planet right now?

Jody Reid 0:04
A lot of people think I'm just having an anxious feeling, and I deal with anxiety, but a lot of sensitive people have anxiety because they're picking up energy around spirit. It's balance, right? We have to go through it to grow through it. It shakes our faith. But that's we have to go through that. How strong is your faith? Tiny, little vision, but source has this grand vision for us. It's trusting the process. Even in the darkest times.

Alex Ferrari 0:32
You believe that humanity is approaching a real turning point?

Jody Reid 0:36
When you go through something and it feels like everything is falling apart.

Alex Ferrari 0:39
I like to welcome to the show Jody Reid, how you doing Jody?

Jody Reid 0:52
I'm great Alex, thank you for having me.

Alex Ferrari 0:55
Thank you so much for coming on the show so I so you're a evidential psychic medium, correct?

Jody Reid 1:01
That's right Alex, yes.

Alex Ferrari 1:03
So what is an evidential psychic medium? As opposed to just a good old fashioned psychic medium?

Jody Reid 1:09
I believe evidential psychic medium means I'm bringing you forward evidence from your loved ones, so you understand it's them when we connect, I ask spirit to bring through something so you understand it's really them, whether it's their personality, maybe something you're holding on to of theirs, maybe how they passed. So they bring forward evidence, so you feel the connection. So it's not just general.

Alex Ferrari 1:32
What was your life like before this, this world that you're in right now, being becoming a psychic medium, what did you were you always of it? Did you always have this ability since a child? Did it turn on later? How did you deal with it?

Jody Reid 1:47
Great question. I I've had moments since childhood, for sure, and I think some people can relate to where I woke up with these really vivid dreams. And I would be sitting on the side of my bed, and my eyes would be open, but I could still see the image or person in front of me. And this was about six years old, my earliest memory, and I remember like feeling afraid though at the moment, so it felt like a nightmare to me, right? I couldn't understand I wasn't in harm or anything like that, but I didn't know this person, so I would constantly sleep with the covers over my head and until I got to understand that they weren't there to hurt, you know? And I think it just kind of subsided as I got older, but there were definite moments into my teen years. I was really drawn to anything metaphysical, anything paranormal, right? It was really fascinating to me. And my late father brought me my first crystal when I was nine or 10, and yeah, and that just kind of sparked it in me. And I think we do have moments like that to kind of open up or push us to the avenue in which we should walk.

Alex Ferrari 3:10
So at what point did you decide to say, Hey, I'm gonna wave my freak flag as wide as possible and let everybody know what I'm gonna do professionally? And I say freak flag with most love,

Jody Reid 3:21
Oh, I get it. I get it. Trust me. And when I actually ended up having my son at 20 years old, and I was always drawn to alternative healing, and I knew I wanted to help people, so I went into the medical field. That's what you do in society, right? So I spent almost 30 years in the medical field, but I always felt this, like calling like this is not satisfactory to me. There's more. And I wanted to do alternative healing like so energy healing. People call it Reiki, quantum healing, however you want to look at it, but I was drawn to that. And I would let it go and it would come back. And I think we do. We all get these messages of, you know, your calling, so to speak. And I don't believe it's just a thought in our head. I believe it's a blueprint, because we can do this. We have the ability to do this when it continues to come back as messages or thoughts in our head. So I spent almost 30 years in the medical field, and I started working at an alternative Wellness Center inserting IVs for intravenous laser therapy, and it brought it all back. I'm like, Okay, I got to do something. And I had a vision when I was 16 that I wanted to open this metaphysical store have healing. And I even envisioned the shelving like there'd be trees and they'd be really earthy. And anyway, long story short, I ended up leaving the medical field. Field, sold my house, all into this business. Didn't know where I was going to start Alex, so I started with energy healing, selling crystals, that sort of thing. My vision came true about the tree, the tree shelving. When I went and got lug the logs out myself, that was interesting, but heart and soul for sure.

Alex Ferrari 5:22
So then, when you were actually in the medical field, did your abilities kind of sneak in, like, did you actually feel people or understand people, or even see loved ones in the hospital with these people? Did you? Did you kind of have those experiences during those years,

Jody Reid 5:38
Definite moments of and I think a lot of times it comes through this feeling of anxiety. And a lot of people think I'm just having an anxious feeling, and I deal with anxiety. But a lot of sensitive people have anxiety because they're picking up energy, around spirit, around people themselves, right? We're sensitive to that. So empaths, and I'm sure you too, Alex, you've walked into a room and you felt the energy right, right? We're empaths. So it was a lot of that I did, apparently have moments where I went on to I actually did some channeling, and some nurses reminded me of what I said, because a lot of times we we don't hold on to the information when we channel. So they actually reminded me of what I said in moments coming out of patient rooms. And I'm like, I don't even remember that. They're like, Oh my God, yes, you did. So I definitely had moments throughout my career where an unknowingness and even around patients. I was in clinic, and I had this gentleman, and I felt him very upset, and this is long before I was actually professionally reading, and I just felt this overwhelming emotion around him. And I said, Sir, do you mind if I just share something with you spiritually? And he was quite open. And I said, I just feel like your wife is on the other side. And I said, she tells me you have her perfume and cosmetics, like I laid across either a dresser or something. And he broke down. And sure enough, he did, and I don't even know where that came from, Alex, this is not something I was doing at the time, but it was what he needed to hear.

Alex Ferrari 7:23
Is that an example of the channeling you were talking about like you're just hearing things coming through. It's not like an entity, per se, but you were actually doing mediumship. But Cha I mean, mediumship is a form of channeling, in a sense,

Jody Reid 7:36
100%, 100% so channeling, I believe, Alex, is the way in which the information comes through. So it's almost like the verb, right? It's coming through the channel. And we are the channels, almost like radio frequencies or waves coming to you as the channel. So we have to tune into that frequency. And you're right, it would come through like an inner hearing, almost, but visions as well. So I had seen the cosmetics on the desk.

Alex Ferrari 8:07
I wanted to kind of dive in a little bit to the process of what you are doing when you are when you are receiving messages from the other side, because this is a kind of, it's a gray area for people to understand what actually is happening. A lot of people think, as a medium, you're just having a conversation with the other side, and you're like, Oh, Uncle Bob is here, and Uncle Bob is telling you everything in your ear. And there is forms of clear audience. It's clear audience, right? So if it's clear audience, but from my understanding, many psychic mediums, they're trying to interpret images that come in or even sounds that come in, and it's just their interpretation. So it's not 100% all the time. The batting average is not 1000 you're not always going to hit it right, because it has to go through your filtering, and you're just trying to understand the images that are coming in. So if someone says, a rose, you see an image of a rose, you're like, I don't know is your rose mean anything to you? And they're like, Oh, my God, we had a rose company like that kind of thing. Is that what's going on in your mind? Or so, there's so many different ways this happens. So I see a dead person in the room, so there's that, there's that version of it like I see then, that that people could talk to you in one way. So that's another version. Then there's auditory that you're just hearing a voice. And then there's the I always call it the Whoopi Goldberg effect from Ghost, when an entity comes in and speaks through. So there's multiple ways that this happens. So for you specifically, what is happening, and can you explain to people that interpretation of it?

Jody Reid 9:44
Yes, absolutely. So definitely. Claire audience, so I have moments of that I actually use four different Claires, and it's clear cognizance, which is clear, knowing. Claire. Claire audience, clear, hearing, clairvoyance, clear, seeing and. Then clairsentience, clear feeling. So it will come in almost like a package. So I could see a vision and but I could feel what that vision means. So if I had seen, for instance, that particular case, the the perfume sitting on there, so I'd seen it, I can feel the importance to her, that she kept herself, you know, immaculate. She was this beautiful woman, and what it meant to him to hold on to it, like the emotion around it, that it made him feel like he was still connected, and then just like this strong gut knowing that that was it like you know, that was the message it was important to him to hold on to these fragrances of hers.

Alex Ferrari 10:48
There's a phenomenon that I've again because of the work I do in the research that I've been doing on this show for so many years now, I've spoken to a lot of near death experiencers, and on the other side, when they're there, they speak of this, knowing that you're talking about a little bit, but it's instant understanding, instant knowing, just from either seeing something or being somewhere, you just go, oh, that's that's that, or that's Uncle Bob, even though it doesn't look like Uncle Bob. Or there's just this instant knowing. And it's a obscene amount of information that gets downloaded instantly, and you just understand everything that's happening in the room. There's no explanation. There's no you know talking about it. It's not clunky, it's just instant. And they and they spoken about like, oh, I asked the question, What's quantum physics? And then all of a sudden, oh, I get it. Now, that's the that's what the universe is made out of. But on the other side, they can't bring that knowing back, because we can't kind of process it in our our rudimentary computer over there, we're kind of plugged into the cloud, the spiritual cloud. Does that all make sense?

Jody Reid 12:01
Yes, but, and the other piece to that too, Alex is I think they have to use our life experiences, so they draw from our experiences. Maybe they'll show me something that's relatable to the situation that I had gone through or that I can relate to, and then I have to relay it in that sense. And it can come in almost like a memory that's not yours. When you talk about knowing it's like if you recall a situation, a moment with your dog, okay, so you're recalling a situation with your dog, you know that that occurred, and there's nothing that could change your mind, like I had this moment with my dog and and then you you reflect back on that you don't doubt that. So it's kind of like holding a memory that's not yours, but having this absolute feeling of it. It took place.

Alex Ferrari 12:59
God, yeah, exactly. So. So I wanted to kind of go into a little we've been talking a little bit about the macro. Let's go a little bit to the micro. Let's go into the macro, a little bit about human consciousness. I know your your work, your work really focuses on raising consciousness of humanity and empowering people to become their own spirit guides, or connecting to their own power internally, whether that be spirit guides that are guiding them, whether it be the internal knowing, whether it be higher selves, all that kind of or Ascended Masters or whatever, but doing it for themselves. Is that correct?

Jody Reid 13:37
Yes, definitely, definitely. And I love platform mediumship, which is like open group, where we sit with a bunch of people, and I kind of channel messages all over the audience. And part of that, I love to remind them. And I say remind you, because it I do believe it's something we are born with. I believe, you know, through our education, through maybe government, through our, you know, religion, just our beliefs. I believe those abilities are suppressed, but I don't believe they ever truly go away. So it's reminding people that you have this connection too, you know, and everybody receives a different Alex, it, you know, for impressions, for me, say my vision for birthday is a bouquet of balloons. Yours might be a birthday cake. So they they draw from or whatever is relatable for you. And I like to remind them during the show that you have this ability. So I want you to leave here knowing that you can speak to your loved ones, just as I can, and bring through the validations or memories.

Alex Ferrari 14:45
For people listening who are thinking, if they're watching this, they're kind of curious, obviously, but a lot of them will say, Well, this is all BS. Well, if it is, I think everybody at one point or another, I can't say, but I say. Humanity has a moment of gut instinct. Oh yeah, there's a moment that you just knew, you just understood. And they call it gut instinct, for lack of a better word, or intuit or intuition, if you want to start getting a little closer to the metaphysical. But gut instinct is something that everybody really can kind of get behind regardless of religious background or programming or anything like that. People are like, Oh, I had a gut instinct that that wasn't going to go good, or I shouldn't get on that plane. Or I, wow, I shouldn't date that girl. That is an that's an example, a very low hanging fruit, example of what we're capable of, and then someone like yourself has opened themselves up to be able to do what you're doing right now. We all have that capability in one way, shape or form, right?

Jody Reid 15:51
We do and going from that gut instinct or intuition, I believe it's like a muscle, and acknowledging it, right? And I'm sure, like you said, Everybody's had that moment of gut feeling. Or it's like, I don't think I should go that way, you know, I want to take the other way around, and I'll drive this way instead. And you find out later that there was a traffic jam. Or you, you have a, you know, a thought pop in of an old friend, and it's like, out of nowhere, you haven't talked to them, and all of a sudden they're either calling or messaging, right? Yes, we've all gone through that, right, right? And it's just insight, and if we can start to pay attention to those moments, and I always feel like spirit is giving that to you. I always feel like we're always connected, whether it's our loved ones, spirit guides, source, God, whatever you believe in. I always feel we have that connection, and we can actually communicate, and we can receive the feedback back. We just have to push ego side a little bit, and I say in the sense of because ego can tell you that, oh, you're making it up, right? Ego keeps us safe, but when we're channeling or receiving messages, sometimes our egoic mind tells us that we're making it up and we're missing those moments.

Alex Ferrari 17:09
Yeah, and ego does that's, I think, the biggest obstacle with people regards to psychic abilities, mediumship, even channeling, is that our brain, our logical brain, is saying you're making this up. But then as you start going deeper down this road, you start to realize I would have never thought of that. I would have never thought of that. What just came out of my voice or my mouth, let's say, if I'm a channel, I would never speak that way, like it's a completely different conversation than tone. And just, I wouldn't articulate those ideas in the same way. And a lot of times when, like, when you're meditating, you know, I found it when I meditate, things will pop into my head, and then I used to go, Oh, I must have made that up. I'm like, I wasn't even thinking about that. Where did that just show up out of nowhere, right? You know kind of thing, and you're like, oh, so someone's trying to tell me, so, because I feel that when you're meditating, you're starting to raise the vibration, or the frequency in your in yourself, the antenna, if you will, to start to tune into certain things. And that's where meditation really starts to come in. The more you meditate, the more you're able to start receiving these these things over the years that you meditate. Is that correct in your case?

Jody Reid 18:26
Yes, 100% and I think we shift from coincidence to meaningful synchronicities. Alex, you know, we start to open up, and all of a sudden we have this greater connection, and we start to pick up things that we didn't before.

Alex Ferrari 18:40
So going to the macro of human consciousness right now. What energetic shifts do you feel are happening on the planet right now? Because it seems like there's some stuff happening.

Jody Reid 18:51
Yes, yes. And I know there's a lot of heavy things happening in the world right now, and for our human self to view them. We view it very negative, and you're right, it is as a human experience, but if we look at a soul level, it is shifting us. So a lot of people who who weren't open to this Alex, are starting to connect to their higher self because they want to feel that almost safety protection, you know, and then they start to connect, to source the higher self, our guides, our loved ones. And I feel like the heaviness in the world is pushing us back to that, pushing us back to that, pushing us back to connecting with nature, right? We get so wrapped up in everything that's going on in the world, and it you're forced to step out of that and calm, calm the nervous system, right? So I feel like connecting to nature, connecting to source. Everybody's being pushed back to their natural abilities, their their desire to connect to that natural state.

Alex Ferrari 20:00
Is that why everything seems so chaotic?

Jody Reid 20:02
That's what I believe. I do believe that. I believe that it's working in our favor, even though it doesn't feel like it, and that's that's hard to swallow sometimes, as a human right, because we are, we're living this human experience and but I do believe it's it's using the use of that information or that feeling. Because what is more powerful than feeling something to make a change, right? So you're looking for the balance. It's like this feels heavy. I want to feel enlightened. So I think we're drawn, drawn to more spirituality, if you will.

Alex Ferrari 20:36
And if we look back in human history, though some of the darkest times afterwards lead us to some of the most light times and prosperity. So after World War Two, there was a massive prosperity, obviously in the United States, but in many other parts of the world, there was a rebuilding, things like that. You look at all these wars that happened over the years, even the Dark Ages. You know, after the Dark Ages, we had the Renaissance. The Renaissance brought us out of the dark age, but we couldn't get to the Renaissance without the Dark Ages. Does that make sense?

Jody Reid 21:15
100% it's balance, right? We have to go through it, to grow through it. And I really think that, like I said, even though it feels and I'm not even just talking about world events, I'm talking about our life situations too, that that relationship that you had, that what felt very toxic, but you grew from it. You knew what you didn't want you. You found out more about yourself. You know what I mean? And I feel like everything is instrumental, even like the great, grander things in the world, but also in our personal lives. I believe everything on purpose.

Alex Ferrari 21:51
A lot of the systems around the world seem to be cracking and failing and falling apart, meaning the economic systems, the medical field, the food industry, the media industry, religious institutions, political, you know, institutions and governments around the world. There's cracks showing everywhere, and a lot of stuff is starting to bubble up. A lot of things that were considered conspiracy before are now being proven to be right. Like, I mean, if you, I mean, the whole thing with files, if you look at it, you'd be like, if that was on Family Guy, let's just say that, if that was on Family Guy, or in just like, oh yeah, there's this island where there's all these things happening. And you're like, that sounds, it sounds like a James Bond movie, right? Right? It doesn't seem real, but all of a sudden you're like, oh, wait a minute. This was real. All these powerful men were doing this kind of stuff, and it didn't happen for a minute or two. It happened for years Hollywood, with the whole two movement, and what was going on behind the scenes there that all started to bubble up. So it seems like you have to kind of go through all of that. So you kind of see that I don't want that we need to change. So you need that, that catalyst, almost, it's painful as it is, in that in our personal lives, as well as on a macro and micro level, right?

Jody Reid 23:17
Definitely. And I think when we talked about the food sources too, and we're starting to learn like, it's not the natural food source that our great grandparents had. And, you know, there's additives to keep the shelf life longer. And people are getting sick, and it's like, okay, I a lot of people are shifting to, I want to grow my own stuff again. You know, I want to grow my food source. I want to know that, you know, it's coming from the earth, and I'm not spraying it with chemicals and whatnot. So I think we're all kind of shifting together. And I think it's like we're wanting to that source again. We're wanting to feel that again, that the healthy intake of food and and even connection to people, right? We rush everything. And, I mean, even when we were younger, we went out. We weren't on the phones. We talked to our friends in person, right? I mean, this is convenient, and I see you know, we're grateful for it, especially when we have family and loved ones across the world and Oh, my God, it's amazing to be able to do this. But don't forget that we, we are, we are having this human experience, and we need that connection too. So I think it's kind of pushing us back to that, back to those roots.

Alex Ferrari 24:37
You mean to tell me that red 40 is not natural? We don't it's not a natural thing to have, yeah, probably not. And blue, blue, 25 like, that's not,

Jody Reid 24:46
I don't think it's grown, no or not, in the natural sense or the organic sense.

Alex Ferrari 24:53
Yeah. I mean, you look at, you know, and I don't want to go off on a tangent, because it's one of my pet peeves, is the food industry and what? I feel it's criminal what they're doing. And I know Canada is a slight bit better, but not too far off from the US, as far as allowing certain things to be done. But you know, you look at a chicken sandwich, I'm like, why is there 60 ingredients like that? Doesn't make any sense, right? I can't I can't find a tortilla that's clean, no tortilla. Tortillas, three or four ingredients. That's, yeah, what a tortilla is. It's very basic. And you look at it, you're like, why is there 75 degree I can't, I know. I can't find a clean tortilla. Like it doesn't, you know? I have to go to the farmers market, yeah, find some guy who's actually doing it the way it.

Jody Reid 25:41
Smelled. The flower has

Alex Ferrari 25:44
Their salt flour. You know what? I don't know what else is, yeah, like, it's baking soda, and that's it. We're done. You know, it's, it's fascinating. But I think people are starting to wake up to that more and more, and I find it, I find it really fun that people will go. I just saw a video the other day. Is like, so you know, if you buy this here, I'll use Nutella for a perfect example. Because when I when you look at Nutella here in the States, it has 400,000 ingredients, whatever it is, the same Nutella in Italy, same company, same brand has like six it's the same thing. So if they're why we eating that crap, and they're not because they don't allow it in Europe, not that Europe's perfect, but you know what I mean. So those are the and that's an example of all of that that's starting to bubble up now. People are just like, No. And same thing with medicine things in religious institutions, for God's sakes, no pun intended, all that stuff. It's, you know, government and the the economy, money, all of it. It's all starting to crack and fun. So do you? Do you believe that humanity is approaching a real turning point? Because it seems like we're being revved up. We're still not there yet. We have a bit to go, but there's going to be a breaking point where, in which that breaking point turns into a turning point where humanity just says that's it. And on a collective standpoint, we're like, we're not going to we're not going to vote for these people anymore. We're going to vote other people into into power and into into into politics, and we're not going to run, we're not going to follow those institutions anymore, religious institutions, because they are not it's not about us, it's not about our spirituality. It's about their power and their control. Do you think that's happening? And if you could tell us when that'll happen, that'd be great when. Yeah, that would a date, a date and time would be fantastic, if you

Jody Reid 27:43
That would be great. And I wish I could provide that information. Sometimes we're not giving complete information around that because I think we have to have faith too. We have to know that that is the case. Do I strongly feel that this is working in our favor? 100% I do. It might not be comfortable as we do this climb, but like you said, once we get over that, I do feel like it's it's different, it's peaceful, it's abundant. And there there are so there's enough food, there is enough of everything for all of us, right? And I do feel like we're shifting to that. And this looks like chaos right now, but it's the chaos that is going to push us into that. Like you said, there are moments in history that, you know, you go through the darkness, but then there's the light. And I do feel like we're on the brink of that too, like we're leading up to that. We're coming to that. And right now it's really strong. So usually when that happens, and even then, I'm going to, you know, revert it back to our personal lives, when you go through something that feels like everything is falling apart, like you don't have control, it's really when it's falling into place and we don't see it. But this is where we have to have faith. We have to surrender and say, yes, what I'm feeling is the case our intuition. It brings us back to our guides and our intuition, right? And we do. And I know in some readings, and I know you talked about time, in a lot of my readings, they will show me certain things to certain people, like, for instance, some people will come with a keyword, Alex, okay, you know, if it's you Mom, say purple butterfly. And some cases, it does happen. But I do feel through the 1000s of readings I've done now that that person doesn't need the spiritual growth like they believe regardless. So that comes through, and then I'll have people come through same sort of situation, tons of validations. It's like, oh my god, yes. It's a very emotional reading. It's very heartfelt and touching. Yes, I know that that's my my parent or brother or whomever. Yet the keyword didn't come through. And I do feel in those moments, they need spiritual growth, right? We can't. We can only be given what's not going to take away from our growth. I believe we come here to grow. What is the purpose otherwise, right to expand. So it's interesting about time.

Alex Ferrari 30:06
Let me ask you, because there's so many times in our lives where we're pushed to the brink, you know, I don't, I don't believe, I hope. I try to believe that we're never pushed too far, meaning that we're not pushed beyond what we can take as the old, you know, God never gives you more than you can handle kind of idea. But there are moments that in life that we're where there's either so much pain, physical, mental, spiritual, trauma, whatever it is that you can't see outside of it, we I think we all get out. I mean, I don't think we all get through that, because every life is different. Every souls journey is different. But there are moments in many people's lives where you're so you feel so underwater that you can't see any light, and that's the that's dangerous, that's a dangerous place to be. Because if you're pushed to that level, where do I go? I see no hope. I see nothing. So on a micro level, I see that, you know, I've experienced that. I think you probably have experienced that at one point or another. Most people have gotten to a really dark place and they can't see light. And I think that on a macro level as well. We're not there yet, but, boy, we're getting close, you know, with the Iran war. Now that's just started up, because why not, right? And then, and then now, China's starting to talk a little bit little saber rattling, and Russia's staying quiet. They got their own things going on with with the Ukraine and and let's not forget about Gaza and Israel. So there's a lot of these different elements, you know. And let's not even get started with North Korea that they're starting to talk again as well. So every so, I don't believe that we've gotten to the brink yet. That's so dark, but we it seems like we're ramping up there. So what do you tell people on two levels, on a personal level, when you get to that place, what advice do you have for them, to help get them out of it? And then, on a macro level, when everything seems to be falling apart around the world and you're absorbing that energy, you could still feel like the world is coming to an end. But what I always find fascinating is when you watch the news and you feel like the world's coming to the end, just look around your house is a bomb literally going off somewhere. No, you're safe. It's all right, yeah, it's all here. So, so what do you think?

Jody Reid 32:27
So I would specifically on an individual level, it depends on what that person's going through, right? There's different experiences. I mean, we're human. There's only so many experiences, but I would tailor it to them first of all. But if I was to do a general information, remember who your soul self is, try to look at the situation from your soul's eyes or your heart's heart vision, right? Not to look at it from a human experience, because those are the moments that we feel crushed or defeated, but if you look at it like you're you're connected, regardless, we have a connection to the other side. I feel like, you know they walk with us. You're never alone, even in the darkest moments. And I feel like God's source, whatever you believe in, uses those moments right now, you know you're not exactly where you want to be in your career, but and you're feeling really heavy, and we have to use our emotions as our directors, right? And I really do feel like they are. So look at what you're feeling say, if you're in a career that you're like, I'm getting irritable. I'm getting like, to the you know what I mean? No, I do where I need change. So so we start to look at and we got to look inside ourselves and say, Okay, I'm feeling this emotion because it is my director. It's guiding me to somewhere else. And you'll know, even though you feel like you're not prepared or ready for that, sometimes it's just taking that next step or even actualizing that this is happening for me, I needed to feel this in order to get to this. It's like if we could show you a glimpse into the future.

Alex Ferrari 34:09
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.

Jody Reid 34:31
And this is what I mean about psychic readings, too, Alex, I feel like we're given opportunities. So if I was to say, Hey, Alex, oh my god, you know you have this incredible opportunity coming up, and it's going to involve a couple of other very influential people, and it's going to just explode. That is going to present itself like that moment will present itself? Will Alex take it? We have free will, right? It's up to you, yeah. So it's trusting the pro. Us, even in the darkest times. And I think it's the same as you know, the macro, as you speak of like a the greater consciousness, and we start to find other people like us to support us so we know we're not alone. Fear is one of the strongest motivators, too, right? It's like, I gotta move, I gotta whatever, and but so is love. Love is incredibly powerful. And when we know we're supported and loved by others, and everybody has the same vision that we're gonna make it through together, and that is this is working in our favor, even though it doesn't feel like it in the moment, we have to trust and this is where surrender, the piece of surrender, comes in. And I think when you surrender, that's when you see things fall into place. When you stop resisting the flow, you know? And it does fall into place.

Alex Ferrari 35:51
You know what's funny, we've all heard that, I think that old joke that there's a guy at the top of a roof somewhere, and the flood waters are coming up and and then, and then, like a boat, a boat comes to try to protect them. Like, no, no, no, no, God will save me. And then a helicopter, so like, no, no, God will save me. And then he dies, and he gets it to him, like, God, why don't you send it? Like, dude, I sent you a helicopter, a boat, this or that, you got to take advantage of when I send you things. I think that for me, one of the great regrets of and this was, this is a really looking back on it. This is a really great example. I had a friend of mine who was a very big he was working on the Star Wars movie as a visual effects artist, and he was working in he was working in San Francisco at Industrial Light and Magic, which is George Lucas's visual effects company. And he's like, Alex, do you want to come up? And I'll give you a tour. It's been a dream of mine throughout my life to go and visit Industrial Light Magic. And for whatever reason, I decided not to go. And I was in Los Angeles, it would have just been like a 45 minute flight. I would have done it. It would have been a day, had a good time, visit with a friend. But whatever reason, I didn't go and I got in my head about it, like, oh, that's ridiculous. You're too old for this. Like, you know why? I just got into my head, and I still talk to my buddy about it today. I'm like, Dude, if you ever get back there, he's like, I'll probably never do. I'm like, if you ever do, I don't care where I am in the world, I'm gonna fly out to see you, and I'm going to take that that tour. It was just, but it was just a thing that's like, I always look back at them, like, God gave me that opportunity, and I took advantage, and it didn't take advantage of it, just like he gave me the opportunity to have George Lucas himself eat lunch next to my office, and I got my lunch box autographed by George Lucas, but it was like, What are the chances of that happening? But I was it was there. It was given to me and I but I took advantage of it. I executed on the opportunity where so many of us are either scared, get in our own head, our ego, gets involved to say, no, no, no, that's not right, or that don't know, don't and that happens in relationships all the time, right, with opportunities. So I'm just using those as examples to kind of illustrate what we're talking about here.

Jody Reid 38:09
Yeah, yeah, exactly. And we can, you're right, we can get in our own way. But the great thing is that wasn't a lost moment, either, Alex. It was like, You recognized it it's like, what, what I got in my way there. So moving forward, it's like, okay, God's going to bring me more opportunities. I'm going to seize those, you know, I'm going to take those moments so I there's nothing wasted. Like, I really feel like, oh, we feel like we have regret over something, but the truth is, we needed that moment. We needed it for our growth. So there shouldn't be regret. There shouldn't be we should understand that we're evolving through the experience.

Alex Ferrari 38:49
Yeah, I know, but I still wanted to go,

Jody Reid 38:51
I know. And that might come up again, that might come up again. So I feel like when it's strong in our heart, there's there's the desires there which can make that reality occur again. It might not be this the way you thought it was going to happen, but it can come again, like when it's that strong within us. I believe opportunities will present themselves.

Alex Ferrari 39:11
And would you agree? And I love that you said it's not how we expected it. I in my my tenure here on the planet, I've realized that it's never how I expected it. Just whatever we try to envision. It does sometimes come close, like your shop, for example, like with the vision of the of the tree shelves and that kind of stuff. That's a smaller version of that. But how that whole shop came to be probably wasn't expected the way you expected it to there was probably a whole bunch of other things that happened, right?

Jody Reid 39:43
Definitely, and I can share a little not about that. This is an even greater story, but there's a friend of mine who wanted to open a Wellness Center, and she couldn't get the mortgage herself, and she's a reflexologist. And she was looking for space and just it wasn't coming up. But she kept thinking about what she wanted. She wanted to be able to live in the space, but she wanted to be able to operate out of the space, but have ownership as well. She knew she wasn't in the position, but she didn't let go of the thought of having it. She's very patient person like myself. So anyway, she kept visualizing this and this space came up in her area where it had living space and it had rent, rentable space for her business in the bottom. And she's like, there's no way I'm going to get a mortgage on this. And she's right, she didn't, but this is crazy. So she has this vision. It lines up. It's the perfect space, and the owner just wants to retire. My friend is a reflexologist. She's just starting out. She's building her business. And this lady's a reflexologist now. She needs somewhere for her clients to go. Wow. So the lady's like, you know, I don't really need the money right away, so if you want, I can hold the mortgage for you. Not in any way. Did she, like, think that this was going to go in that avenue, but now she has her space. She has more clients than she can handle. Be, you know what I mean, and she was worried. She had this fear about not having enough clients to sustain. But she also has some established businesses within the facility that are remaining and paying some of that mortgage too. It's beyond what we expect. Sometimes I feel like source. I'm going to say source, just insert it so anybody can replace whatever they need to replace it as has a bigger picture for us. So we might have this like tiny little vision, but source has this grand vision for us, and sometimes we just have to let it go and trust is surrender is my big word. And in fact, Alex, my business was called calm surrender to start. And it was a it was a download I had received, and I even got it tattooed on me, surrender to remind myself, like, stop taking control.

Alex Ferrari 42:15
And that's the thing. Isn't that difficult, so difficult to do, to surrender. You know a lot of times, a lot of times, you're forced to surrender. You're you're brought down to your knees, to a place in your life that you have no other choice but to surrender. Yes, because you You're so stubborn that you're like, No, no. I want to control. I want to control. I want to control. And then life starts to go, Okay, let's just keep we don't want to do this to you, but you're not listening. Yeah, and they start pushing you and pushing you to a place where you get to a place, you're just like, I give up. I will do whatever you like. You just you're broke. They break they break you. Life breaks you. And we've all had that at one point or another, I think.

Jody Reid 42:56
And yes, and I agree, and we can reflect back to the world too. We're in that state of, what can I do now? And almost if we can take surrender and not like giving up, but surrender, Alex, and really re labeling it as trusting the process. So I surrender that this is going to happen for me. So surrendering, in that sense, like not giving up, but surrendering to the outcome that it's going to work out for you, maybe not exactly as you see, but in a way that is going to be very beneficial for you, right?

Alex Ferrari 43:31
I never, ever envisioned this for me. Never in 1000 years, that I think this was ever going to happen in this world. So it's a great learning lesson. Of like, oh, and it still surprises me on a daily basis. I'm like, I'm doing what now, okay, and I'll just go do that. I'm like, Oh, I'm supposed to do this now. Okay, great. And how only after you get back and you kind of look at it from a bird's eye view, just go, Oh, so that's why this has happened, that's why that happened. That's why that happened. And you start to piece them together. If you're lucky enough to kind of have that awareness, you can start piecing certain items of the puzzle together, of why certain things happen to you, and one thing led to another thing. Who led to another thing? And, you know, I met this one person 10 years ago, and then I didn't talk to them for 10 years, and then they show they come back around, and then that's the person that is the catalyst to help you on your career or in your love life. They introduce you to your soul mate or whatever. It's fascinating.

Jody Reid 44:34
Yes, it is, these meaningful synchronicities, right? As opposed to coincidences, when we shift from that mindset. Basically everything becomes the miraculous. You know, it all. It all seems to work out for us.

Alex Ferrari 44:47
So one thing I wanted to ask you it, and I'm asking a lot of spiritual I won't call you not spiritual leaders, but people in the spiritual space about this, because this is something that's that is starting to come up. Now. It's. Yeah, those team files did open up a lot of stuff, and it's still opening up a lot of stuff, but one thing that it did do is shined a light on multiple spiritual leaders who are in this in the files, and the fall of those spiritual leaders, and some of those leaders, and I'll call out the one I'm thinking of right now, because it's everywhere. Who is one of these guy? Look at your face. You were like, so sad about that, because he meant so much for the last 40 years. He's 4045, years. He's been one of those cat one of those kind of like Mount Rushmore, people who brought spirituality to the role to the west, yeah, in a big, big way. You know, it was him and Wayne Dyer and and many of those that generations, you know, spiritual people. And it's, it's, it's just really gutted our community as a spirit, as a spiritual community. It's just gutted people in general because of what he meant to us. Why do you believe and what does spirit tell you that, that these spiritual leaders are starting to fall, that there's cracks even in that, what is it trying to tell us about us? Because I, and I think you agree with me, I've always been about finding the power within yourself. Never put anyone on a pedestal. Ever take words out of my mouth, yeah. Never put them on a pedestal. You can, you could, you could admire. You could be grateful. They could be a little bit farther down the road than you are. But a good guru, a good teacher, a good instructor or guide, is going to guide you to find the power within yourself,

Jody Reid 46:42
Always, always, always. And I couldn't have said it better. And I do believe those moments you do reflect back on yourself, and that is what source is doing. Our universe is doing is pushing that energy back to you. It's like it's within us, right? We sometimes align ourselves with other people because we don't know who we are, and we're trying to figure that out, so we hang on to beliefs and whatnot, and some like, I'm not saying the information that whoever else was involved didn't have real, solid information, yes, but it is bringing it back to us, reflecting inside of us, because we Have it too. Alex, it's like, it's like, you know, it's awakening within us. It's like, using those moments to bring it back to us so we can awaken. Because sometimes we just continue to follow. Do you know what I mean? We don't become ourselves, or we don't use our own abilities, and I do, and this is huge. So it's going to impact people all around the world all at once. So what it source is using it as a big impact all at once.

Alex Ferrari 47:46
My question then to you is, why do these spiritual leaders, who I agree with you, are actually putting out? They're not they're not con artists. They're not throwing out BS. They're actual, like, really shifting humanity's consciousness, really helping the students that follow them. Many of these, they they put out really great information, and they were, they were elevated spiritually. On a spiritual standpoint, they had reached a higher level of spirituality in the sense of connection to the universe and within themselves, but yet fell, fell for the traps of of the 3d world. Why do you believe someone? Why would you? Why would What does spirit tell you that someone who's so spiritually elevated, let's say, who has spiritual abilities, yet fall for the same traps that we all do you know from you know, you know the flesh or gambling or alcohol or drugs or whatever it might be, they fall for the same things that you and I would fall for, but yet they're still spiritually elevated, because they are putting out this amazing information and amazing energy into the world. So how does that, how does that balance? What's your What does spirit tell you? What's your opinion of it?

Jody Reid 49:03
Yeah, I would say, you know, I do believe they're still connected in that sense. But we have to go through certain life lessons. My thought is this, Alex, we sign up for certain amount of things here. Okay? And we have to grow through the experience. Otherwise, you can tell me all you want, but unless I'm living it, feeling it, breathing it, I'm not going to learn the lesson, right? So if source says you want courage, I'm going to place you in a place where you have to be courageous, or you know, in that sense, you want more willpower. You want more what other word am I looking for? Well, let's just use willpower for now. I'm going to place you in a space, and if you feel that, we have to keep repeating that until you get that. And I know that's like a very light version of saying it, but I just believe we. Have to go through the very experience to obtain the lesson or the growth around that. And it's really dark to us here. And yes, you're right, it is. I'm not trying to put light on that situation at all, but they have to. And for somebody who's so spiritual that is completely like the other end of the spectrum, if you ask me, but it's something I believe that they sign up for the experience, and anybody you and I even even viewing it, it helps us grow, people who are involved, people who are viewing it, people who are part of it. It's about spiritual growth. And sometimes, like I said, it's a heat, like looking at it humanly, it's hard to swallow. But I believe at a soul level, there's purpose around that too. There's purpose on growth. And I do believe we kind of all go back to the same place too, from source, regardless of our actions.

Alex Ferrari 51:00
Yeah, and you're right, like you and I are having a conversation about this publicly because of what you know, like that, it's sparking. Conversation is sparking, you know, viewing yourself differently or going inward to go, Well, what? Why? Why did that happen? And if it's shape, and, you know, I, I didn't follow him, you know, religiously or anything like that, but I but he did have an impact in my spiritual life over the years. I read his books, listen to his courses, and when I was a younger man, and so on. So but for someone who was like all in it could it, could just rattle your entire world, just like what happened with the Catholic Church. You know, you know that when the scandal started to come out of the Catholic Church, there were millions and millions, 10s of millions of followers who their entire faith was rattled because, like, wait a minute, right?

Jody Reid 51:56
I just wrote it down. I channel a little bit as we do this, but it does, Alex, it shakes our faith. But that's we have to go through that. How strong is your faith? How strong is your faith? How strong is what you absorb? Does it resonate with you like you know what I mean? You might have got it from one source, and now that source is not exactly where you want to go in life, but don't remove the message. Do you know what I mean? If it resonates with you, if it hits your heart, if it works for you, there's a reason for that. You know, we're growing from it

Alex Ferrari 52:33
With with everything that's happening in the world right now. I feel that so many people want help, guidance in their in their life. I think we all do. We all want Yoda. We all want our own personal Yodas, you know, to just be there and just explain things to us, and you're like, No, you're not doing this right? Who doesn't wouldn't want someone like that in their life? Can is spirit on the other side, helping us through what we're going through in our our our challenges in life. Because I always look at it like this. As a parent, you know, you look at your kids growing up, and you see them about to make a mistake, and you a lot of times tried to help them along the way, but, but I don't know if you have children or teenagers, but when you hit the teenagers is like, that's just the most brutal time in raising a child, because they ignore you, because they think they know everything. They're at that stage, that they think they know of it, and then they they still get hit, or they still something happens to them that that we try to avoid. I feel that Spirit is doing that with us to just like, oh god, look at he's oh well, he's got to go through it, that gotta learn. The kind of thing is that what's going on on the other side?

Jody Reid 53:54
I believe, yes, they can't take away from our lessons, but they can walk with us through it. So I don't think we're ever alone, even though sometimes it feels like we are we're not. We're never there. Our loved ones are always there. I feel like they're a part of our guides as well. And then we have, I believe we have our own personal guides, you know, to help walk us through this. But it's opening up to that and understanding that we aren't alone in those moments, and that they are using these moments for our growth. So, yeah, they will allow things to happen. They have to right? And it's like, that's when we start to lose faith. And right? It's like, why did you let me lose that? Or, you know, I lost my house, why did you let me do that? Like, why did you let me go through that, and then, you know, several months later from that, grow something even bigger, because I had something better. So that had to go away for me to replace it with something better. I don't think we ever go backwards. I really don't.

Alex Ferrari 54:54
So I think what you just said can be applied to what's happening to humanity right now. I. We have to get rid of the old in order to to let the new rise. You can't create a new food system until the old food system dies off. Can't create a new medical medical field until the old medical field cracks and adjusts and change into something that will benefit us, as opposed to benefiting large companies or Big Pharma or those kind of things. You know, my parents generation would walk into any doc, any any human being that had a white coat on obviously knew much more than I did, and I have to listen to everything they say, where my generation was like, and then my kids generation is a whole they're just like, are you insane? Like, they wouldn't even, they wouldn't even, they wouldn't even entertain it. No, no. But you need that old system to kind of come down before the new system can can birth correct.

Jody Reid 55:55
It's true. It's true. It's like the Phoenix, you know, from the ashes, like it, it rises again, but better. You know, I don't think we ever go backwards.

Alex Ferrari 56:04
What? What role does free will play in all of this, not only in our own lives, but in the macro, in the lives of of the of the planet, of humanity's consciousness as a as a consciousness, I feel that we all have, there's an entity called humanity's consciousness, and there is a free will of how we want to move forward. People are always afraid of like, oh, the world's gonna come to an end. I'm like, we should have destroyed ourselves years ago. There's someone watching over us, you know, there's the second the bomb was created. How are we still here? Is beyond me. Like, right? We shouldn't be, we really shouldn't be.

Jody Reid 56:42
Well, there you go. That says something, right Alex?

Alex Ferrari 56:46
Right. So what part is free will play in all of them, the micro and the macro.

Jody Reid 56:50
So micro and, like I said, individual readings, I always feel like, exactly like the example I gave you of you know, you have this opportunity coming in. There's these beings that are very influential, whether or not you want to take it. And you know, the same thing with your Star Wars moment, right? It's like, Did I take the opportunity you could have? But then that's free will, right? Did I move forward with it? So I do believe moments will be presented, whether or not we move forward with it is entirely up to us do? I think that things will be repeated if we don't grow from it. Yeah, I do. And I think that can speak on a, you know, a macro level, too. And I feel like we get into science, all about how we're we're tethered, we're entwined. You know, what one person thinks you can, you know, place it on another person. That person starts to feel it, that it goes on. So I feel like we are entwined as far as the world goes. And you know, I think everybody if as long as the consciousness has the same kind of vision of what we want, we will move forward with it. And you know that, I guess, is free will, in a sense. But I also feel like we're talking about destination too, and you know what was supposed to happen, the outcome. So, yes, yes, I feel like free will is definitely a big part of, you know, part of our life lessons, too. It's like we have and those moments. That's what I mean. It's like this circle. It's like, oh, I didn't go to the Star Wars, damn. You know, I wish I had it. But what did you learn from it? You know, that might save you from a huge opportunity these people that are going to present themselves. You're taking that lesson. You know, you're going for it this time, because you learned through the other so I don't feel like there's a waste. I just don't, but yeah,

Alex Ferrari 58:43
Yeah, it was exactly that that we could that next well, obviously, next time I get a phone call from my friend and say, Hey, I'm in here, I'm like, I would go. But on a bigger standpoint, when another opportunity in another place, that lesson I learned of not taking action, I'm like, You know what? I'm gonna I'm gonna I'm gonna go, I'm gonna make the effort, I'm gonna go, and I'm gonna go do this, I'm gonna go do that kind of thing. So yeah, and now thinking about it, I have a bunch of offers on the table, of like, maybe I should do that, right? Go over there.

Jody Reid 59:16
Yeah, there's nothing wasted, right? So as you did, and you move forward with it, you're getting something out of it Alex, you are.

Alex Ferrari 59:26
Exactly I want to talk to you really quickly. I wanted to ask you, because this fascinates me, and I'm not sure how much experience you have about this in your work, but timelines and shifting timelines and different alternative realities, which is a quantum physics idea, but it's also a very metaphysical idea, and it goes back to the Vedic texts and things like that. Do you have any experience of of when you're speaking to spirit, about other versions of us doing other things in other lives? So like. I, you know, I do believe, personally, that we have infinite amount of versions of us in this lifetime, all happening at the same time. So there is a Jody who's interviewing me in another lifetime, and you have a show, and I'm and I'm the guest, and vice versa, and we're experiencing, as a soul, millions of infinite amount of experiences through this character we also have. We were also in Rome. We were also in Egypt. We were also in Atlantis and and many other iterations of of incarnations, but this specific incarnation between you and I right now, there are infinite versions of this beyond what we can comprehend. What experience do you have with that? Have you run into anything in your work in regards to that, with with your clients or with yourself?

Jody Reid 1:00:51
Yeah, I think on both levels, to be quite honest, depending on where the conversation would go. But for my own belief, I totally agree with you. I believe there are infinite possibilities too, of versions of ourselves, right? I think we have to embody it. I think we have to. It's almost like choosing everything is free will, right? It's choice to step into that version of you, because if you viewed something in a certain way, very positive, not to get into science, but your reticular activating system is going to project that into your reality. So you're going to be drawn to that. So will I experience, you know, more happiness if I chose to go in that direction, and I chose to embody that, I chose to wake up happy, am I going to experience or reflect or align with all happy experiences? Yeah, I am, you know, as opposed to waking up and like the secret says, you stub your toe, you get out of bed and like, you know, you you focus on that moment, and then everything else kind of falls into place with that too. So you start to experience those fumbles or or moments throughout your day, because that is where your focus is. So I think focus is huge when it comes to, you know, obtaining or embodying that version of us. And I do think we can make it a reality. It's our focus, where our attention goes, the energy flows, right? You've heard that, I'm sure, and it's it's keeping or sustaining that to get that result. So, yes, absolutely. So if you and I also believe there's a little bit of spirituality in there too, because I believe when you have a vision for yourself, Alex, your future self, I don't think it's just a vision or a thought. I think it's a blueprint of your capability. So spirit says, I got this for you. Don't give up on it just because you can't see that entire road ahead and you don't have the whole map in which how to get there. And here comes surrender. You have to surrender and trust that we got you, you know. And don't let go of that version and keep embodying that feeling, and I do believe it will be a reality. So yes, we can step into those versions of ourselves. Like I said, If I wake up and I follow that moment of stubbing my toe, that is going to be the version of me. I'm living it. I'm living that moment. So yeah, if we keep growing promise.

Alex Ferrari 1:03:19
So Jody, where can people find out more about you and the amazing work you're doing in the world?

Jody Reid 1:03:22
My website would be a great place to connect. It's jodyreidmedium.ca, and then, of course, I'm on Facebook. What not? But yeah,

Alex Ferrari 1:03:33
Fair enough. Fair enough. And finally, what message does spirit most want humanity here right now?

Jody Reid 1:03:41
Thank you. Remember how powerful you are and what you're capable of without the dictation of anybody within yourself look inward.

Alex Ferrari 1:03:52
Jody, it has been a pleasure talking to you today. Thank you so much for being on the show and having this deep conversation about all things that we went through a bunch of different roads today, for sure, but I hope it does help somebody, and I do appreciate everything you're doing to help awaken consciousness and humanity in general so thank you.
