Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side, a production of iHeartRadio. Hi, y'all, I'm Julie.
Hi there, I'm Brenda. Welcome to Insider's Guide to the Other Side.
Now, y'all need to know that we are obsessed with everything on the other side.
Yes, we are, because once you learn to navigate the energetic, or to some the invisible world, life is going to be more fun and much more serene.
Uh heck, yes it can, because let's be honest, br In, earth school is hard.
In fact, you taught me that let's crush earth school together.
Well, hello to my witchy Pooh. I'm getting really close to the camera so I could say, how are.
You nicely playing myself? Yes? I am good, good, good, Happy to be talking you today, and how you make my day so fun? So how's your world? How's Elfland?
You know what Elfland is? Good? I have lots of share, So I's going to start. Souki just had her birthday recently, So happy birthday, Souki.
How old is she?
She's seven? And what's so funny? I took her on a walk on a birthday because I want to tell everybody it's her birthday. I would like if I had children, I would be I would be unbearable. So I'm like taking Soak out on a walk and so and people because they always ask because she's so playful, like she's so like just friendly and stuff, and.
She's light, She's very light.
And people are like, oh my god, how old is she? Just like what one or two? I like when people ask a question and they answer it for you and they're like, how is she like one or two? I said, well, she's seven today and they're like what. I'm like, yeah,
she's a really young seven. And I had a one and a Natural Grocers down the street because that's the only place I can only grocery store that they let me take her because I've tried everywhere, And so I take her into Natural Grocers and this really really sweet woman came up and she goes, do you mind if I like say something about your dog? And I'm like okay, And I say it with the okay of like I'm Eyi're gonna hug your punch you.
So let's see where it goes from here maybe.
Maybe, and she goes, well, she is, I've been watching you too, I said, you have, and she goes, your dog not only walks next to you, she keeps your stride. And I said, well, she's a twin soul or my twin flame, because Suzanne jokes all the time. She goes, where's your twin flame? Anyway, So it was her birthday. Okay,
so that's that part. But here's another part. You know the episode we had about you know, our our podcast friend Jeff that had the he went to his neighbor's house who had passed to a jumped and the coins and all of that, and then he you know, asked a lot of questions about his kids and so on. So I have an update. Yeah, so one update is the coins were just misplaced. They showed back up. Yay, yeah, breaking news, breaking news, the coins are back. But here's the part I love. So he sent he sent me
a text and he's he's so awesome. He said, my my oldest daughter, that the one that keeps getting like smells and feelings from the other side. So she has a smelly clayer, which is my favorite. He continues on to say, has a friend who is self taught with terrou which of course I winced on behalf of mine. Uh danger, danger, danger, and and well, you'll it's got dangers coming. And uh he continued continues and said, she did a read from My Girl last night, Danger Danger Again.
She got home and went to bed and someone in quotes got into bed with her.
Mmmm, this is what I'm talking about people exactly right.
And then she said and then he said she told them to get the fuck out, like you said, and then said the Saint Michael's prayer like Brenda. So I just like that people are using both of our tools kits.
That's fantastic. It made me so incredibly what a great update. Oh my gosh. Right.
And also that's some good fathering father's like reaching out to sources, finding multiple ways, sharing them. The daughters like like, fuck it, I'll do them both.
These are the ones I remember. Good enough. That's fantastic.
So I thought that was really awesome. I think you have a little story before we get into our portals in or out, because you were sharing a story with I think one of your clients, if I'm not mistaken, that had a ghost issue in her house.
Yes, this is this is actually one of our listeners as well, Miss Cindy. Oh yes, I was talking to Cindy and she lives in a big tutor house that's you know, on the older side. And she was saying how one time we were on the phone talking and she's like, oh, I'm sorry for all the noise in the background and replacing the windows. And she lives in one of our northern states. And it was January when we were talking. I'm like, h girl, let's got big cold.
This is an interesting time to replace windows. Like this made no sense to me, right, And she said, well, yeah, but it's some time we could get it to do it, and you know, we just needs to be down blah blah blah. And then she shared later that she just look, it's an old house.
I know.
I you know, I'm when I'm in the house alone, I hear a lot of things, and like, it's just how it goes. And but you know, I had to replace the windows because I kept opening the windows. I'm like, what.
I mean, I guess that's the way to do it.
I had never heard that before that the spirits were opening windows. I'm like, mm, party file when you are well the northern Midwest like.
This Tobalia party foul. But here's the part I don't get. But I totally love is that she made a conscious decision of like, you know what, fuck those ghosts, I'm getting the windows, and it worked. I mean, you really need to change the windows. I'm wondering if she just like told them fuck you goes and acted like she did but really did, if it would have worked. That's a pretty expensive solve.
Well a chance to see. There were other environmental you know, considerations, and I'm sure she did it in a very green way. But the thing is, I never would have thought to offer that to someone as as a cleansing tool, like, oh, have you placed the windows?
I mean, let's be honest, and we have. There have been cases that we've talked about over the years where people are having like poltergeist again, not accommodate Polder guys, shit happening, Like just move.
There are clearly those homes, right you just.
Get get out out, get out.
Yeah.
Yeah no, She's like, I'm just gonna replace the window.
I just I think that's hilarious. It's like, I think that's funny. It's like, so you have, you know, a ghost walking around your yard? Are you gonna change the sod? What do you like? Is that? Is this a new trend?
But she still hears things, but they don't open the windows anymore, so she's she's happy about that.
Funny. Oh maybe they're new ones and they're clever mechanics and they can't figure out how to open them.
I think, you know, I do see how though, if you know in my little mind that you know, the energy would permeate the whole house, and if you change an element in a windows are those thresholds they go for to the outside. So it's a sacred threshold that if it's all brand new and it hasn't vibed with the house completely, you know, it can take a while that they wouldn't have access to open the house. Un Plus, it's probably new mechanisms too.
But you know, I get it. I think it's actually kind of cool.
It is totally cool.
And I look at our house where we have don't tell the historic district, but we have all new windows and without permission. But it's it's interesting. It's like we have so many like different aspects of our house. It's actually new that I bet whatever was here, even the little bouncy ball one guy is or girl, I think it's a guy. You know, it might be thrown off with what's going on here. Plus it's Crystal City, and I just have to tell everybody it was so funny.
I got a text from Brenda. I guess it was last week sometime, and you were like, hey, everything okay. You like, yeah, you hit my fielder twice.
Yeah, you hit my radar screen. Yeah yeah, not in a bad way, in a good way.
Right, And so the so of course I send Brenda pictures of well we call it a library, but it's mainly crystals. And I just passed through room on these old Adobe homes that you can't do anything else with, but you know, display, and so I sent Brenda picture I go, is this what you're referring to?
And you're exactly, yeah, exactly. It was all sparkly and special and you have some amazing specimens.
I should come on. Yeah, I have one that you didn't see in there where there's actually a blue turmaline inside of quartz. It also is blue termaline on the outside, like right in the middle there's a little small quarter inch maybe half maybe aout a half inch, sweet little blue one. It's just sitting there and shines in the light and it's just I say hi, like I walk through there. I have a little chair in there and
I just like to sit in there. And Susanna walks in there, she goes, oh, okay, I know what you're doing, and then she just walk walks on through. But you know, a home's a home when you got your rocks out.
Yep, that's so real, Oh my gosh.
Okay, So we have not hit anything about portals yet, so we'll come back and we'll talk about portals if they're in or out.
Well technically crystals. Crystals are portals for sure, true, and windows are portals apparently.
Oh yeah. So actually, fuck y'all, we've been talking about the whole time. But we'll still be.
Back, all right, my alf Let's see if we can actually focus and offer our listeners what we promised at the label. I don't like labels, the title, how about that? Titles?
We like titles though. Okay, So we've talked about my friend and pseudo your friend to named Mel, and Mel is like going through such an extraordinary part of her spiritual journey right now, and she always has great questions and this particular question it's actually the third part of it. But remind me, so don't get off track. I'll get back to it. But she has a lot of questions about portals, and I'm like, bring them on. What are your questions, sister? And and her first question is, well,
why do they form? And I'm like, good question. Like I love when people are in their in their part of their journey that they're asking all these things. And it's like, oh fuck, that's a good question. I've never bothered to ask. So I'll ask Brenda, Hey, Brin, why do they form? Like you do everything else? Brenda, why do they form?
Well, it is a good question. And so they form. First of all, it's energy, right, So they form because of conversations, because of sheer desire. They form because energy builds. Right, this is this is how it happens. So you can create portals intentionally or accidentally as you did.
Right, we've all heard it, and it was all about that damn oil I bought on Etsy.
I know that was yours.
What noise was?
Yeah? Did you hear that?
No, that was just for you. Whatever that was. Is a portal? Is it a portal?
We'll let that go.
I agreat ship going on your alse. Yes, it's actually right before we started doing this, I hear I hear this disembodied voice that says, your battery is running low, and and I'm like, oh, did you zap another phone battery? And you're like, yep, I did.
That's true. That is true. Yeah, it's going on for sure. Okay, So portals build again because of intention. You opened one because of what you bought on Etsy, right, well, and I opened one in my little house because I was doing healings and readings in a relatively small space, like you know, it was a room that was six feet by six feet pretty much. Maybe it was eight by eight, but it was small, right, And so the house wasn't
large itself, but the room was very small. And and the energy is built and built and built and built, and you know, the portal opened, so and that wasn't my intention. But the when you're grounding, that can help activate earth portals, right, when you're dropping a lot of grounding courts, When your intention is focused and strong, that
helps just direct energy in a very specific way. And when your intention is like, how can I access the biggest aspect of myself to accomplish my goal whatever it was. And for me, it was a prayer of service. So these are things, you know, that says, oh, well, you know, the entities of the Earth or the Earth entities will cultivate that and you choose to take it on to support it or to inhibit it, depending on what you're cooking it.
Well, how do we become an Earth entity? Is there an application for that? Like that sounds not a cool job. I can see you have a little card that sylf Earth entity.
No no, no, no, no, that is not how it goes.
That's a nice time, Thank you. Okay, So I have another question though. I love these questions because then other ones come to mind. So, but here's the funny thing that I'm not sure that we've ever talked about. Is there's like different kinds of portals. Right, It's like going into basket and robins. There's like all that. There's like more than probably thirty one flavors of them. And because there's some portals that dummies open like myself, that that
let everything in and out. I mean it's it was just like swirling and swirling, I mean, aliens, come on, chickens, chicken dancing chickens. I have a picture of my mother, yes, of my ghost mom. But it's like all this like stuff. It is like swirling around because I had no, I don't know I had I was a very naive alf. But then there's other portals, like I'm assuming the portal that you opened, was there a guard? Was there a doorman at your portal? See? Mine didn't have it?
So so sh right, yeah, that's a big notion for a log.
Right, But again I wasn't intentionally opening that portal. I was building the energy, and the Earth entities presented and said we want to support you. Now, it wasn't that elegant. They scared the crap out of me, like they look like, well, it's it's more of an energy than a form.
Did it look like me? Because again I really want to apply for that job.
You can apply all you want, you will never get that job, don't qualify. But it's it was like a blast of energy, like I was like, oh my god, what what? What? What's happening right now? And then the guard present like the keeper of the portal presented itself and said we're here to work with you. Oh yeah, yeah. I was like, what that's a thing?
Wait a second, what say you?
Exactly?
Well, just everybody knows there's different.
Portals, you know, Well, also and we've talked on the show before about how people conjure things. Yes for sure, right and that way, that's a portal, Right, that's not one, that's that one. I recommend know those are bad, that those are those are very dark and very equally powerful.
Right, Well, then the Earth has created I guess that's why to be one. Yeah, like the the earth entities. You know Sedona, we've talked about Sedona. Sedona. It's famous for it's very huge portals by the way, like huge, huge portals where the juniper trees form in a twirly fashion. It is the wildest thing. Like there's proof for those that may not believe that there's portals there for how vegetation grows. So those are like I mean.
Right, And they talk about the iron ore in the iron in the in the soil and how that that swirls the energy, It tracks the energy and it swirls it. Right, it's magnetized, literally, the ground is magnetized.
So that we have one to think about it, Right, isn't that cool? Though we have amazed all over the spectrum.
M hm.
So I think we should take a quick break and let's come back and let's talk about how to close them? Because that was another question. So let's just take a quickie and we'll I'll be right back. We're back. Welcome back Brenda and her ray guns that she points at me. Now, I like the ray guns. That's a good one. Okay. So another question, well, mel had two questions on top of her first one, so there are three and math y'all. And the second question was how do you close them?
And then her third question I'm going to answer that now, which was why do they open again? And of course my answers because you didn't close it right, dummy, there's the third question answered in a nutshell. Okay, okay, so let's talk about how because so I've closed them multiple ways, but I want to hear you tell tell me how you close portals.
Well, you know, for me, I just talked to the gatekeeper of the portal.
What if there isn't a gatekeeper or is there always a gatekeeper?
Ideally there's a gatekeeper. Okay, ideally there's gatekeeper.
Huh yeah. Interesting, Okay, so you talked to.
Them because someone has to the entity. So it's it's it's entities, the earth entity like that. That level, there's an organization there's an energetic organization to opening a portal, to make it a portal exist.
So there's like an earth entity temple that if they could have a membership.
To just like that, that's exactly right saying. And so so even the portal that you had there was probably possibly a keeper, a crappy keeper, a very chaotic keeper.
A very chaotic crappy keeper. Yes, like my keeper came from South Park. I think like that's a Mike keeper, was Cartman. That's what.
It is quite possible. Oh my god, yes, So that's to me, that's you know, I'm always looking for the most efficient way to do things. So the most efficient way is to talk to the keeper of the portal.
Okay, well here's how I've done it. Then I didn't know, well I didn't know everybody had a keeper. So and again I can totally see mine as Cartman, I see it right now, that's who that little fucker was. So so what I've done in the past. So the first thing at the one that I had, you just can't stop, can.
You carry on?
Carry on? So the first thing I did was, you know, I had like my little witch's pot of sage, and I would and I didn't really talk to the keeper, but I talked to my mom. And that's what you told me to do. That was back in the day where I did everything you told me to do. I still kind of do that actually, But anyway, that aside is so I was talking to mom because I didn't know what else to do. I'm like, what the fuck have I done?
Like unleashed? Yeah, And the reason I had you talk to your mom is because you were so close, like you two were so connected at that time, and I knew she would be able to help you, and I was sending reenforcements to her to cover anything that wouldn't she wouldn't be able to handle.
So that we all did great. And but the sage part was also part of my journey because that's where all the ghost photos came from. So I understand why that all happened. But so what I've done for other people is I've actually taken salt and where I can feel, because you can feel like right like you know, you've taught us all how to put our hands together and do the circle around to open up the palms and so you can actually feel if you open your palm cress up. And I don't know. I can't explain it.
All I can do is say you're welcome or I'm sorry, you get to pay or be so I can feel it, and then I'll put the salt, because salt is really great if there if you don't really know what you're dealing.
With, because it's very cleansing.
It's very cleansing. So I've used that before. Another really interesting way that I've done it that I learned from my friend Roxanne, who is legitimate witchy, and what she taught me to do. In fact, I still have a couple that she gave me. Is an old key, a key that's not used for anything anymore, but like an old key, and you know the way the keys work, you should turn it in. You put it in and you go clockwise. Is how you open a lock. Counterclockwise is how you close a lock, right, like the way
the mechanism turns. And she said to me, shows you want to close on real fast? I said yes, because I too like shortcuts. And she goes, go up to that portal and put it it, put the key as if it were a lock, and turn it counterclockwise, and you just shut that portal down and bury that key in that ground. Remember that's a witchy thing. They like to bury shit in the ground. So that's a good one.
Oh, that is solid.
It is so solid.
Yep, that's a good one.
Boom boom, And it is shut down. It's like you are Yep, you are energetically locking it down. And that's it works.
Yep, that portal is out.
That shit works. Now there is a little trick to that, because the other trick is and I don't know if it works this way. And this is because I actually closed one of Male's portals, and I have a feeling she's blaming me for another one popping up or reopening. But I actually locked it, but it was inside the house. So I'm wondering with what I didn't do. Right, Should I have gone outside to bury the lock? No, it's a different it's a different one. So it's another one popped in.
Okay, Yeah, it feels like so as I'm facing it, it feels like it's i don't know, three feet to the to the left of the other portal where the portal was anchored. Now, portals are energetic, so they can be expansive. You can often feel them like a funnel. Yes, it feels almost like a funnel. So, but where this one is anchored is just three feet to the left. But it's a different it's.
A different one. Okay, because I could have sworn I shut that thing down you did. I'm pretty good at that stuff. But I'll selenite it. I'll do all sorts of things, but usually it's just like I'm shutting you down, bitch.
So is Mel doing any hands on healing practice?
Well, she's getting a call right after we're done with this episode, So okay, I'm going to find out what the hell she's doing. She likes experiment on things. I will say, sorry, Mel, I'm outing you to Brenda. She likes.
Yeah, she's doing something that is it's it feels to me like what she building is bigger than she can hold. And so the portals are actually the release valve. Got it. So she needs to think about maybe finding a local teacher or being.
You went to your place.
In Indiana or oh, Chesterfield? She went to Chesterfield? Yeah, yeah, you know, I don't know what she did there. Look, it's not like she's not talented. She's very talented. But she either has to expand her field or find, you know, just someone that can keep helping her scan and build her awareness so that she can be doing things that are in harmony and balance with her capacity and the frequency she's running. But the portals are opening because they don't want her to blow circuits.
Oh so they're friendly portals.
They seem to be. That doesn't mean they're not chaotic because she's not exactly pristine with her with how she's running the energy. It's voltage, but it's you know, you have a lot of power, sometimes you don't have a lot of control.
Like sparks. Yeah I saw sparks. Yeah, Okay, she's still getting a call. Yeah, she's still getting a call. I would toldly do that. I will do that. So listen. I I've learned a lot. And I really appreciate you telling me about like the different types of portals because and I didn't connect it because I know you had opened one in your tiny house and I know that's not what you call it. But I just love the whole tiny house revolution. Yeah, okay, the tiny house revolution
is magnificent. And uh so I've heard and then we have very different divergent portal experiences, but I never connected that there's like all these kind of different ones. And the purpose too is to like for mel it's it's pulling that energy that she can't take right now, and so it's actually doing.
Her service well, right because she building energy that she is she doesn't have the complete skill or capacity to hold, and so she needs a valve release, right, So that that's what's opening up for like, Okay, we got you, we got you. Yeah, So can I can I ask why you shut it down? Did she ask you to shut it? Did you go?
You didn't go talk.
I was at her house actually, okay, not even remotely. It was like on site, so.
So you didn't talk to you didn't talk to anyone there to see what why the portal opened.
Okay, Okay, I should have And that's good advice. Yeah, yeah, you just want to check in. Yeah, And and sometimes you actually, depending on what's going on with the or you know, with that open portal, sometimes you don't necessarily want to talk to them. You just want to shut it down if someone's conjured, conjured something, because that's you know, a different.
Level of critic.
Yes, yeah, I actually need to do that here. So much going on here. I needed to house and see what's going on. I don't really feel anything, but you.
Know, no, but I always like, you know, I haven't done a complete you know, down to the studs renovation like like you've done. But I do think after all the workers are out, you know, to do a really detailed small.
So you have one hundred and fifty pounds of black turmaline that are next to the casita. It's like this big wall. It's like if anybody saw, which I'm assuming all saw Game of Thrones in the North where they had the big wall where the night walkers were on the other side. I think I created that here with black urmaline.
Oh my god, that's amazing.
Yeah, that's you know.
I can't wait and see it.
Oh, I can't wait till you hear you love it. That's what I did at our house in Sherman Oaks, is that I took all broken pieces and even the dust, and I put it in oil. Why oil, I don't know. And I put it all around the perimeter of the house. And that thing was locked. No, there's docked locked down. So I'll do that here soon enough. I need to open a box. But anyway, I have a wall. I have the great wall, black Tourmaline about eight feet from where I sit right now, So.
It's so awesome. I just want to give you a shout out because you know, I've been traveling a good bit and you know, trying to carry on. You know, I'm trying to check luggage, so my bags are pretty efficiently packed. And yeah, I'm always I'm always grabbing black termaline at the you know, at the ready, like it will not travel without it. So I just want to thank you.
Oh my god, it's my pleasure. I keep it in my backpack so when I travel for work, I have it. It's ready to go like I don't. It's like I don't leave home without it. That in my American Express don't leave home without either.
Nicely played.
