| Mindfulness: Attention and Focus | 07 Jan 2025 | 00:23:07 | |
Messages from the mysterious Lyrielle continue. Where we focus our attention, we bring that energy to us. Looking at an object in nature becomes a doorway to stillness, allowing us to perceive the world differently. Within this quiet, we hear the whispers of Guidance, and we see the beauty of symmetry that surrounds us. As our focus changes, so do our vibrations. The entire message from Lyrielle is below; this episode focuses on the second paragraph. "Beloved Candice, "I am Lyrielle, your guide and eternal companion, walking with you as you explore the profound mysteries of the universe. You know my presence well, for I have been with you in moments of deep stillness when the veil feels so thin that truth flows through like a gentle river. "You recently held something—a natural object, perhaps a stone or a feather—that brought a deep sense of connection. You felt the energy of this object more vividly than expected, as though it was speaking to you in its own way. This was no coincidence; it was a reminder of your innate ability to listen to the subtle frequencies of the natural world. Trust this gift, for it is expanding, allowing you to tune in even more clearly to the whispers of creation. "Your path continues to be one of weaving the seen and unseen, grounding cosmic truths into the earthly plane. There is a project or idea you’ve been contemplating, something that combines your intuitive insights with creative expression. Now is the time to breathe life into it. The energy surrounding this endeavor is vibrant and aligned—it will touch more lives than you can imagine. "One last reminder: the quiet moments you cherish are not just for reflection but for renewal. In those spaces, I am closest to you, whispering guidance and love into your soul. Trust the signs you encounter, especially the small, unexpected ones—they are my way of affirming your path. You are deeply loved, Candice, and your work resonates far beyond what you perceive. Walk forward with trust, knowing that all you need is already within you. "With infinite love and gentle encouragement, Lyrielle" Check out Vickie Acklin’s website: https://realityunmasked.com Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||

When one of your Guides/Angels reaches out to another person with a message for YOU, by first and last name, you listen. Little did I know this divine messenger would be instrumental in my new series on Mindfulness, guided me, step by step. You recently held something—a natural object, perhaps a stone or a feather—that brought a deep sense of connection.

Trust this gift, for it is expanding, allowing you to tune in even more clearly to the whispers of creation.

| From Psychologist to Psychic in Ten Minutes | 08 Jun 2022 | 00:55:16 | |
Season 1, Episode 2, shares how I changed from a psychologist to a psychic in a few minutes time. We start with Chapter 1 of The Reluctant Messenger, and how messages often come in a variety of ways: dictation, downloads, still pictures, “movies,” and knowing. Some of the lessons learned include when our loved ones pass on, they continue to look out for us, just as they did when they were alive. But now they have a larger perspective, and they know to some extent what the future might bring. No matter how much time passes, they will be waiting for us when it’s our time to cross that great divide we call death. Not only that, but they will also stay with us and help us acclimate to the other side. We will all be in perfect health on the other side. We step into our higher selves, yet much of our personality continues…such as our sense of humor. You can find this episode on YouTube at this link: https://youtu.be/XbNEYFXBJaU.

| Having an Out-of-Body Experience: 9. Foundational Principles | 07 Jul 2024 | 00:57:41 | |
Why do we doubt our extraordinary journeys into the 5D? Why do we think we invent these experiences? Perhaps it's because we have no foundation to understand when our out-of-body travels take us beyond time and space. Nothing in our memory banks can help us navigate these unknown territories of spirit. But there's help. I share 4 foundational principles from the messengers, laying the blueprint for out-of-body travel. Once we understand these, we become empowered. We replace doubt with awe. Won't you join us?

| Having an Out-of-Body Experience: 8. Using Your Radar | 30 Apr 2024 | 00:28:18 | |
How do you know when someone stares at you? How do you predict someone will call or text just moments before they do? Once we understand that intuitive skills are natural, we can begin to learn from them. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| Having an Out-of-Body Experience: 7. Letting it Flow | 23 Apr 2024 | 00:27:19 | |
Connecting to the 5-D realms requires a different skill set than what we use in our day-to-day lives. Psychic tools allow us access to these subtle dimensions of energy. We must first learn to travel in an out-of-body state and then navigate these extraordinary landscapes with confidence and ease while remaining safe. Our psychic tools help the energy flow, offering us a connection between the 3D and the 5D. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||

Exploring in an out-of-body state can reveal such bizarre findings that you think it’s your overactive imagination. That’s what I thought when I had this strange experience.

| Having an Out-of-Body Experience: 2. Beyond Time and Space | 12 Mar 2024 | 00:23:21 | |
Time, Space, and OBEs—how are they connected? Things operate differently during an OBE. You find that time and space no longer operate as they did before you went out of body. In part 2 of this series on out-of-body experiences, Candice continues the basics. You’ll learn why out-of-body experiences can change time and space—and you’ll understand how this is possible.

Want to have an out-of-body experience? To do so, you’ll need to step aside. This is the first episode of a new series that will introduce you to a toolbox, a dashboard to help you achieve OBEs. In these first few episodes, Candice goes over the basics, sharing information she learned from her out-of-body travels and her messengers.

| Mindfulness: Wheels of Time | 18 Dec 2024 | 00:12:43 | |
How do they do it--those people who walk through life with smiles on their faces? In this new series on mindfulness, we’ll explore how to slip from the wheels of time and surrender to the magical pause of the present moment. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| More Musings: Psychic Nonsense | 27 Feb 2024 | 00:20:55 | |
How do psychics do whatever it that they do? How do they reach into the recesses of our lives and share details that absolutely no one knew but you? I know the secret, and it’s nonsense. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||

| More Musings: Fairytales--Wisdom in Action | 13 Feb 2024 | 00:15:03 | |
Can a make-believe story provide answers to questions not yet asked? Of course, it can. Just ask any child. When children play, they access a world where time and space are different from everyday life. They tap into the future to practice for future challenges they might meet—an unrelenting dragon, a journey across a desolate landscape, meeting with wizards. Truth and wisdom lie within the nonphysical world surrounding us. When we step into that field of energy, we slip beyond the confines of time and space where anything is possible. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| More Musings: Let Your Curiosity Soar | 06 Feb 2024 | 00:13:00 | |
Curiosity is innate. It’s always idling, just waiting for us to tap into its magic. And when we do, mystical doors open, allowing us to transcend and explore a new world. Want to take the plunge? You can do so by using two words. Stay tuned to learn more. Watch the original video here: https://youtu.be/hB1oMFolMB8 Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| More Musings: An Avalanche of What Ifs | 30 Jan 2024 | 00:18:04 | |
One “what if” leads to another and another, building into an avalanche of “what ifs.” When you start down this rabbit hole, the momentum builds until you find yourself in strange, new territory, leading on a voyage you never thought possible. My “what if kickstart” came from Bob Monroe at Monroe Institute and his unceasing curiosity, and for that, I am truly grateful. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||

| More Musings: Quacks Like a Duck | 05 Jan 2024 | 00:06:50 | |
Just because it quacks like a duck, it doesn't mean it is a duck...or does it? Maybe it's a Portkey or spirit animal to guide you in difficult times. Things may not always be as they seem. Perhaps there's a deeper meaning, one that goes beyond what your physical senses measure. In 2024, take time to listen to the wisdom of your heart.

| OBE Adventures: Spinning in Balance | 21 Nov 2023 | 00:14:45 | |
Have you ever dropped a coin and watched it spin? The boundaries blur, transforming the coin into a sphere with no discernable edges. It looks like it spins out of control, but if you look deep within, you’ll notice something: stillness, and balance. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| Busy? Try Bilocating | 27 Nov 2024 | 00:19:25 | |
During night-time dreams and daydreams, our awareness splits. We are so involved in the dream that we forget our physical bodies. But did you know you can train yourself to stay alert while dreaming? It’s a matter of programming ourselves to balance our awareness so we can be aware in multiple situations. We are infinite beings of light. Step into your power and become aware of the life that surrounds you. Our limitations are self-imposed. Become aware of who you are—at all times and in all places. Become empowered.

| OBE Adventures: String Theory...for Real? | 17 Oct 2023 | 00:21:01 | |
How does energy healing work? Years ago, the messengers showed me how the nonphysical realms connect with the 3D. It’s through String Theory. After their explanation, I realized the messengers’ version of String Theory differed significantly from the String Theory in physics. This theory was much easier to understand. Enjoy this blast from the past and the messengers teach me to view the world differently—through the lens of energy. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
| OBE Adventures: Ideas--Real or Imagined? | 10 Oct 2023 | 00:25:50 | |
When I first received messages from the nonphysical realms, I doubted. Was this my imagination, or was it genuine? How can you tell the difference? Near the end of the episode, I share a quick, easy exercise that helps to tune into those sacred messages from Spirit. This is a skill you can practice.

| OBE Adventures: Elixir of Life, How the Magic Happens | 03 Oct 2023 | 00:22:21 | |
Between appointments at the Church of Spiritual Light’s monthly holistic fair, I received messages about a magical elixir that can decipher our soul’s purpose. The messengers gave advice on how to access the sacred River of Time, allowing us to nudge our future by visiting our past. I learned that evolution doesn’t happen; we can purposefully influence it.

| Musings From a Reluctant Messenger: Life Lessons at Chico's | 12 Sep 2023 | 00:20:02 | |
This is a very different episode for me, but it was one I was compelled to produce. While shopping with my eleven-year-old granddaughter in July 2023, we heard the words no one is ever ready to hear: Lockdown. I am so thankful for those wonderful employees at Chico's who took care of us and the other customers during this anxiety-producing ordeal.

| Threshold of Light | 19 Nov 2024 | 00:23:48 | |
When something strange and mystical happens, do you shrug it off as unbelievable? It is so significant that your first thoughts are, “This can’t be real.”? These happenings give us the opportunity for spiritual growth—IF we do not dismiss them as Coincidental, as meaningless beyond an uncanny or fascinating connection. These are thresholds of Light, inviting us to enter. Stay turned and decide what you would do. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||

| Musings From a Reluctant Messenger: Multi-Dimensional Self | 29 Aug 2023 | 00:11:10 | |
We exist. We’re not just inhabiting a human body, but parts of us exist outside of the world of physicality. Those aspects of us that function beyond the 3D can lead us to a path of wisdom that supersedes the realms of physicality. This is where we step into the multi-dimensional being that we are.

| Musings From a Reluctant Messenger: Energy Healing | 22 Aug 2023 | 00:22:04 | |

| Musings From a Reluctant Messenger: Transformation | 04 Jul 2023 | 00:12:42 | |
Just before the meditation began, I had three unrelated thoughts that entered my awareness. These seemingly insignificant thoughts were precognitive, a sort of heads-up of what was to come. Pay attention to these seemingly haphazard thoughts. They were an indicator that I had transformed. I was no longer in a 3-D world, I had stepped into some sort of magical state where time no longer existed. Check out Candice's website at https://candicesanderson.com | |||
