“Coast to Coast Broadcast”

Monica,

I listened to you on Coast to Coast last night and I find your words of assisting transitioning souls fascinating and self-rewarding.

In this world of deceit where truth is as rare as a 5 leaf clover I don’t know who to believe or trust anymore. Most people these days can weave awesome and believable stories with such fantasy, hope and flare, and all for the almighty dollar.

As a people we are starving for some semblance of Truth and Guidance if not in this world then in the next, what we are given is “Reality” TV and
Politicians with Emmy award winning lies.

I trust you are a genuine breath of fresh air, at the very least I am glad that your dream state brings satisfaction to you.

I would like to hear from you.

Sincerely,
Recovering Catholic,
Ron

Hello Ron,

Thank you for the kind words, and I love your sign off of ‘Recovering Catholic’… .

When asked, I  usually mention that I was raised Catholic, but I don’t acknowledge a specific denomination now. I’ve had so many experiences in my life. Some contradict the teachings I grew up with. Others embrace elements of other religions. I tend to view ‘Religion’ as a specific ‘structure’. The beliefs and faith I have of ‘God’ revolve more around the experiences I’ve been blessed to be part of.

Once I was so afraid to speak my truth about my experiences, however I’ve grown to see how the isolation of that virtually suffocated who I was. I feel like I have a second lease on life now that I can speak openly, and live in the authenticity of who I am.

When the idea of creating a book came about, my co-author and I felt it was important for people in similar circumstances to resonate with the truth about their own life, and have the courage to ‘Come out of the Psychic Closet’, even if just to family and close friends. It can be a burden to keep it locked up.

I hope the opportunity to share my experiences encourages people to start a dialogue about their own. If it makes a difference in someone’s life,
I’m grateful.

I think the more comfortable people are with themselves, the more truth in others they are able to recognize. There is a resonance with something that rings true for them.

However it certainly is getting more challenging to discern the truth with what we are given through Television and media. Perhaps we’ll have
to become more introspective, and listen with our heart more.

I’ve noticed the more heart centered I become, the more wondrous the experiences are in the ‘sandbox’ of the Other Side (and the waking
reality too).

The challenge to living a heart centered life, is to maintain the discernment of things that go against your authenticity, and recognize them in time.

Thank you for your kind words, and I’m glad you enjoyed the Coast to Coast program.

Sincerely, the Fringe Dweller

“What a Lovely Job You Do”

Hello,

I came across your link by chance?? or by design we never know, with a little free will I believe it’s all written in stone, the many paths of the spirit.

I know many get confused between worlds, it’s a shock to many many throughout their life who do not believe because of religion and brainwashing, all waking now), what a strange reality we chose to take part in so many dreams within dramas.

Anyway, your Soul Retrieval work is great. I’ve only heard of one other, she was a Shaman, but there must be many doing this.

I was always a healer but took it up to help suffering in mind body spirit. The mind heals the life force, not the healer (which I do free ), only the soul can heal itself, we can act as a link, but that’s all. The person’s soul as all it needs to carry itself through life. If we do healing, it’s to heal the self and to be of service.

Anyway, lovely person what a good job you do…

Love all things, all things will love you.

Take care on your journey on love,

Paul, a traveler…

Hello Paul,

Well you certainly are another Traveler who understands the integration of fate, free will, and ’co-incidence’ .

I concur with much of what you so beautifully wrote, especially the part ‘to be of service’.

I put this book out there with ‘detachment from the outcome’ for the purpose of sharing my experiences, getting the information out there, and encouraging other to come out of the psychic closet themselves, and in turn share with their family and peers. Perhaps this will help with the feelings of isolation and fear people associate with these experiences.

I had initial trepidation with what form the information might take on, not wishing it to become a circus, but one that remained true to my authenticity, and honored the higher place it flowed from.

Then someone pointed out, that we all ‘get it’, we have a shift, with information coming in many forms. If there ever was a Saturday morning cartoon about it, but someone had a ‘Shift’ in their awareness as a result of watching, than is that so bad? I suppose in that perspective it’s quite alright…lol.

Thank you for writing in your perspective,

My best to you fellow traveler, stay safe and well!

Namaste, Monica

“Me too!”

I cross people over in my dreams just like you. I have been doing it for years.. I never knew it had a name. I also dream before people die. I am an RN in my day job and I cross people over in my sleep. It comes in spurts. Sometimes I cross people over every night and sometimes a month or two goes by and I don’t cross anyone over .. but then i start all over again.. i told many people i do this and it seemed as if i was the only one ..

I have never heard of anyone doing it. Thank heaven you came on Coast to Coast. I wake up exhausted sometimes because I cross all these people over. I always told my mother I dream of crossing people over who I don’t know- kids,old and young people, people from other countries…

Do you have any suggestions for me to develop my talent? My grandmother was very psychic and would have out of body experience and I would wake up and see her coming over to see us. Then she would confirm I saw her… awesome !!

Thank heaven I am not crazy !!!

Bethany

Hello Bethany,

What a courageous challenge you took on, to be an RN by day, and one by night as well! You are by no means the only one, so many people have responded and written in to say they do it too, and by names such as Dreamwalkers.

I understand you’re feeling of waking up exhausted. People who have not had these experiences may not recognize how emotionally draining it truly is to always be ‘present’ for someone. You do it both day and night, so you’ll need to implement a few intentions so you don’t find yourself in a place of utter exhaustion that leads to ill health both physical and mental.

Set your intention before going to bed that you’ll get all the rest you need. As I mentioned on the Coast to Coast program, I found out I actually had ethereal caregivers that watched over me. Ever since implementing that intention I haven’t had any major issues beyond the normal stress of waking life regime. Also set your intention to have a safe journey.

I love the story of your psychic grandmother astral traveling to you. The fact that you had her to confirm the experience is indeed a gift in itself. So many people have never had a validation of any kind.

Generally, I encourage people to allow the experience, be the observer as much as possible. Allow the images to unfold, and do your best to gather the nuances, the feelings, the flavor of what’s going on. Many times this will yield more answers than trying to hear messages. Our ears tend to work better in the waking reality, and we can expand our other senses to tell us what’s happening in our dream world. Listen to your heart, that tends to be a good compass as well.

As for expanding your talents in Dream Travel, I often recommend the book Toltec Dreaming: Don Juan’s Teachings on the Energy Body who delves into detail of the many levels of dreaming, and how to expand on each one. This may offer you detailed insight into expanding your Gifts.

I don’t think you’re crazy, at least no more than the rest of us who lead this sort of dual life…lol.

Sincerely, bless you for taking on the dual role of caregiver in both waking and dream realities. I can’t even imagine the emotional stress and
challenges that you face.

May all your dream travels be safe and rewarding, and know you are not alone in this

Namaste, Monica

“Thank you for making me feel not so crazy”

Won’t go deeply here, but thank you for making me feel not so crazy about the fact that I live in both worlds at times.

I wake up and sometimes I’m in both my dream and reality, at the same time.  I try to explain it to some people whom I trust, but they still just look at me like, “uh huh”.

I interact in my dreams with people and it’s more real than reality.  I think you know what I mean.

Anyway, I can’t wait to hear you on Coast to Coast tonight and I’ll be getting your book.

Take care, Dave

Hello Dave,

Welcome to the ‘two worlds’ Dave, you are by no way alone!

So many people have responded with similar stories, so thank you for sharing yours. This was the intention behind putting myself out there, to tell of my experiences, and by doing so encouraging others out there that they aren’t alone in their paranormal events.

I understand well that look in friends’ eyes. There’s that look of ‘uh huh’ on the outside, but on the inside fear of the unknown, and simply thinking it all incredulous because they perhaps have never encountered anything you feel is so real.

‘More real than reality’ is something I can definitely relate to…well put!

Thank you for writing in, I hope you enjoy the Coast to Coast program, and maybe now you’ll feel even less isolated.

I’m in the process of compiling all the responses people have written in, so people can read even further.

Namaste, Monica

“Coast to Coast”

Welcome (hug)… so i’m not alone in living in two ‘real’ realities…

I really enjoyed your interview… and btw… you were spot on with destiny and free will…

Spirit offered me your job too, but i decided against it…

Its funny how something so obvious to me and you is so overlooked by humanity… facinating…

I’ll tell you about demons if you like.

Next book?

Steven

Hello Steven,

You are most definitely not alone, and judging from the overwhelming responses pouring in after Coast to Coast far from it

I’m truly grateful to have the opportunity to share my experiences. By encouraging others to do so with their friends and family the awareness will grow, and hopefully remove some of the fears and stigma surrounding their experiences.

Thank you for telling me you understood what I was saying about Destiny and Free Will. It can be a huge topic that yields much discussion. Many people aren’t ready to hear of their own accountability in circumstances, and choose the cycle of victim-hood of circumstance. To go even further to offer the idea that we attract or create our circumstances might have put things over the edge.

I always find radio a challenge, especially with such a broad subject.  I find many bits have the potential of falling through the cracks, and leave a lot to interpretation.I was beginning to have doubt, and that what I was trying to get across was becoming grossly misunderstood. Thank you again for writing and letting me know you got it. Whewwww!…

Too funny, you say you had decided against the ‘Job’ of being a Fringe Dweller. Growing up I never knew there was a choice, and when I finally heard Sylvia Browne offer that there was a choice, well,…..you could have knocked me over with a feather! I started to chuckle at my own situation, but realized too, that for me, it was the right thing.

There’s no next book on the horizon yet,  this was a work of the heart, and we wanted others to feel less isolated in their experiences
than I had in mine. It’s all good.

However, being an artist, I’ve decided to branch out, and return to my love of comic/graphic novel art. I plan to create storyboards of my dream experiences, and post them on the website.

Feel free to share your stories about demons. It seems to be a surprise to people when I mention I have indeed encountered Dark Energies. It
seems to be a taboo subject. However, it doesn’t take away the fact that many of us have the experiences of them!

Remember to protect yourself, and have safe journeys!

Thank you for open sincerity, It’s been wonderful connecting with people this way.

Namaste, Monica
