I'm Dal, The Happiologist, and I am doing this on purpose.

Hi, everyone.

It's your pal, Dal.

Thanks for joining my podcast today on the fascinating topic of

tapping into your intuition and how we all have a bit of psychic ness.

So to talk us through this, I'm so happy to introduce our very

special guest, Natasha Riz.

Natasha is a second generation immigrant.

Her parents were from Asia and she was raised in the UK.

Natasha is a clairvoyant and has been helping people all over the

world deal with all kinds of areas in their life, from relationship,

career, health and lifestyle.

And today, I want to get into the fascinating mind of Natasha, personally

as a clairvoyant, healer and astrologer, and understand more about her journey

as a psychic and to understand how we can all tap into our intuition.

So, huge welcome Natasha.

So you've practiced clairvoyance and astrology and healing

for the last 50 plus years.

You're amazing at what you do.

Psychic Readings direct is your brand name and you are one of the

biggest, highest rated clairvoyants in London, which is a great achievement

with repeat global clients there.

I've seen your testimonials and they speak of how you've helped

hundreds of people emotionally and physically to repair, which is amazing.

And we've known each other for a few years now, as we instantly

connected on the basis that you could sense my clairsentience.

So, which by the way, I had no idea what that was.

And that's what I want to explore with you for the benefit of our listeners today.

What I absolutely love about you is that you want to empower people to

tap into their intuition because, you know, we all have it within us.

So I really want to explore that.

And there is so much skepticism around psychics, especially in Asian culture.

You know, we're intrigued and skeptical at the same time.

You know, curiosity killed the cat.

So, you know, we all want to know a bit more about it.

But again, the area I and most people are interested in is our ability

to be intuitive, to, to find the answers, to understand our why.

And I guess we all have it in us, and some people like yourself

are gifted with heightened extra sensory abilities to help others.

And I think as long as people aren't using it for negative reasons, which I know you

completely endorse, you know, or using it for personal gain, it's a gift and it

should be used to help heal and connect others, so There's so much to unpack here.

I'm really excited to be doing this with you.

So, first question.

Actually, no wait.

You probably know what my first question is.

That's telepathy.

First question is, tell us about your fascinating story.

How did you know you had intuitive powers and how did you develop them over time?

Okay, I developed them at a very early age where I'd pick

up on things and I'd see dreams.

I was about the age of three or four and my father had gone abroad

and he bought this beautiful car which he was showing me.

A couple of days after he travelled I said to my sister, I just get

this really funny feeling that you know, Dad might have an accident.

She's like, stop there, don't say things like that.

You don't talk like that.

Behold, three days later we get a telegram.

Dad had had an accident.

Which is quite traumatizing and I felt responsible for opening my big mouth.

Because I thought, like my sister said, had I not said anything,

it wouldn't have happened.

So it developed at a very early age and the belief that I came from was as

a parent in those days people say you believe in God or a higher greater force

and always pray to that and believe in that before going to bed say your prayers

So I feel it kind of like started from a very early age of without me realizing

it meditating to this most beautiful place that I'm in and garden and I would

start praying and I think my doorways had opened up at a very early age.

So it started from about three or four continued from there

Wow, and then, and just talk to me a little bit more about the

spiritual premonitions you're having because I can imagine it being

quite scary at a very young age, you say three or four years old.

It was scary and because I was told, you don't talk about things like

that, so I kept a lot of the dreams I'd have to myself, didn't understand them.

Looking back at them now, they were past lives that I'd been in that was actually

looking at, but being three or four, they were unexplainable to anybody.

Another major event happened when I was about 12 and it was a reoccurring

dream that I had for three nights and I just could not shift this dream.

Very upset about it in the classroom, teacher sent me straight to the head.

Bless this teacher.

He listened to me very curiously and said, okay, carry on praying.

Go down and do your homework - thought nothing of it at 16, when the

premonition was for, at the age of about 14 to 16, that my cousin had died.

And I'd already predicted this at the age of 12.

He'd actually written it in my record.

So, it was unusual.

Totally forgotten about it, but the school teachers in school

would think she knows intuitions.

Let's see what she puts in the bins Well, how was your day today or is

and I was like, oh god Why are they why are they trying to pick on me

and waiting for me to say things?

I'm, not special just leave me alone and because I could read their minds.

I felt a little bit alienated actually And I wasn't a big mouth in the school.

I was a very timid child.

I was quiet.

I had a friend who I'd share everything with.

And like most children do, you have one or two close friends.

And it kind of, kind of went from there pretty much.

And did you actually think it was odd?

So you know, and I've spoken to other kind of psychics in the past.

They've said that they thought that everybody else had that

same sort of feeling, right?

So you don't know it's different.

Unfortunately, I wish that was the case with me because what I noticed

is that my teachers made it a little bit difficult because they would talk to one

another and I'd know what they think.

So one of the teachers I went up to and said to him, Sir, before you go

home you need to drive safely today.

And the next day he came and looked at me, and he just stood there staring.

Now that wasn't normal behavior.

So I didn't see any other child being targeted like that.

So I didn't feel it was normal.

And then a social worker approached my father and said, you know

your daughter's a bit different.

So are you having any issues?

And him thinking, how dare you come to my house?

What are these social workers in those days social workers were looked

at as people that broke up homes She was taking an interest in what I was

doing in the school and he told her to get lost He obviously knew about

it because he had those gifts himself Which later on I discovered because

I'd always say dad What do you think of that person and he would say he's

like this and he's like that nine out of ten times He was absolutely spot on.

So he was in actual fact doing face readings without realizing it

Wow.

But he thought it was normal because he was trained

in the army, he was an army guy.

So your sense of intuition came from family?

I feel so, yeah.

I mean my father was very intuitive and I discovered a few things just before

he passed and I told him how I used to see this being with a white beard and

white hair and he turned around and said, I used to see the same one and

I was like, wow, that was a very close connection that me and my father had.

So we were also very spiritually connected.

We had different gifts.

So.

That's when it became a little bit more normal, but as I was growing

up, I thought, Oh, I'm alienated.

Please go away.

I don't want to see things.

I don't want to hear things.

When my cousin died, I was the only one that was there

when she was putting her head.

Her headset was fitted.

She said today is a very special day.

You don't tell anybody you take three roses from the garden.

It was about five miles from where I lived and she said i'm gonna tell you a quick

direction and i'm gonna walk in front of you and you're gonna follow and I did.

So it kind of like made me have a bit of an alienated upbringing.

Because of this extra gift that I had.

So I wasn't really embracing it, thinking, Ooh, everybody's got it.

I was thinking, What have I done wrong?

Because it's leaving me alone.

So it didn't feel like a gift.

It didn't feel like a gift at all.

It didn't feel like a gift because I couldn't handle it.

And plus, nobody was recognizing it from my own family.

Yeah, the teachers were.

But they weren't my mom and dad.

Well, my dad didn't say anything.

My dad was abroad doing business at the time But my mother

was like i'm scared of her.

So if your own mother says she's scared Because I think you're some sort of a

demon then i'd start praying more and visualizing more nice things And so yeah,

it was a it was a bit of a challenge.

It wasn't easy It's not as easy as it is understood and recognized

nowadays There's more awareness of it.

Yeah, actually, that's a really good point.

I think a lot of people still think it's a little bit new agey, a bit woo woo.

And I think back then when you started out and we're talking,

you know, good 50 odd years ago, you know, it was quite unheard of.

So I guess the bit I'm really fascinated about, and I'm sure

our listeners are as well, it is.

Did you open up about it more as you were growing up?

Did you feel actually it was something that you wanted to keep to yourself?

Were you able to integrate, you know, into society and make friends?

I found that very, very difficult.

I'll give you an example.

I was sitting on the bus one day with a teacher.

And I said, Hi Miss.

And she said, Hi Riz.

The next thing I thought to myself, what came in my head was

that she thought, Silly Pakki.

Wow.

In those days, I turned around and said, no, you're Porky.

She said, excuse me?

I said, you just said.

She goes, I never said that.

I thought that.

Wow.

Because I was then deciding did I actually pick that up or did she say it?

So I had a very hard childhood.

Unfortunately, I didn't embrace it.

It wasn't.

I think if I had that in this day and age, it's more understood, people would

understand it, I'd have the proper guidance, and if my father opened up a

lot more to me and said, it's normal, you're just gifted, you keep certain

things to yourself, it probably would have made my school days life a lot more

easier, I was also alienated at college, so no, I didn't have a fantastic time,

I think I embraced it when I was about 22, when a friend said to me, ooh,

you're gifted, how'd you pass that exam?

I'm I said, I looked at the teacher and said, I couldn't read the question

and I picked up what he thought of the answer and I wrote it down.

Brilliant, and that's where you thought, yeah, now it's time.

Yeah, this is good and she dared me and she said, you know what?

I think the best thing for you, forget beauty, you know, just, just put a little

ad and see how it goes for readings.

Now, I can look at you now, but I was brought up by my mother, that little girl.

Don't look up when they're talking.

So I had my eyes like this.

And if, especially if it's a male, you don't look up, you keep your eyes down.

And that was a big problem for me when I started doing readings.

Because I'd think, how am I going to look at the floor and do their readings?

So, then I thought to myself, hmm, I know.

Let me get a set of tarot cards and I'll pretend I'm reading them.

You now think about them.

So I'd look for the most unusual looking card with pictures on and

I'd say, well, that card means that actually I was using my intuition.

Wow.

And that's how I started.

Fascinating.

And I can imagine it was quite isolating because, especially when

you're younger, it's hard enough growing up as a child, isn't it?

And then people think you're a bit different.

It's hard to kind of integrate.

Yeah.

So, yeah, moving on, you talk about your tarot cards, so when you

read, just talk me through the process and talk us through the process, you

know, how are you connecting, what do you see, sense, feel, what's going on?

So when I actually meet people, I kind of switch off from

myself, I detach myself, it's the first thing, because it's not about

you, it's about the other person.

I'll close my eyes for a second and I'll just tune into their energy, how are they

feeling, what is going on around that.

smile of theirs.

Is it really a smile or is there sadness?

And it just flows from there.

But it's about tuning into the other person.

It's not about you tuning into yourself.

It's you detaching yourself from that and putting yourself in their shoes

and everything starts flowing through.

I mean, for me, it's like second nature.

Is it like a switch?

Because I've spoken to you know, psychics before and they've said, you

know, when they were younger, they didn't know how to switch it on and off.

Because it was just always there.

So, You know, one thing someone was fascinated is, is it always on?

Are you always constantly connected?

Is it a vibration?

Is it an energy?

What, what is it?

Okay, so, as a youngster, I was always switched on, which was manic.

It was maddening.

This is why you hear of a lot of you know, psychologists will actually

tell you that intuition is a very thin hairline between madness, okay?

Not being able to switch off is a thin hairline between madness.

Having the ability to switch off is very, very important.

Because it's not nice if you're walking around and you're picking

up, Oh, so and so is thinking this of you, so and so is thinking that,

that's going through their door.

It's not normal.

Okay, you need to be able to learn to switch off.

So the answer to your question is yes, you do have to switch off, you do

have to know to detach that emotion.

And it's all about your mind.

If your mind is strong, you have control over your mind because

it's your mind that's opening that doorway of that third eye.

So, yeah.

It's very important to be mentally strong.

And do you feel that this, I mean, from my perspective, this is

a gift because I know you've had thousands of people go through various

challenges and struggles in life, whether it's love, relationships,

you know, money, whatever it is.

So this is clearly a gift that you've been given.

You know, how do you console that in your mind?

How does, how does it feel?

Do you feel like this is a power?

For me, it's become like second nature.

So, you know, like how you can use your nose to smell.

I use my sense for intuition, so I've got very, very used

to it when I need to use it.

And sometimes, like, let's say I've got you, for example, and you want to

know what somebody else is feeling.

So I'm moving away from you and tuning into the energy that's connected to you.

So I enjoy it, and every reading is different, and one of the things

I've also learned is to switch off mentally, otherwise I'd go mad if

I remembered everybody's reading.

Or all the experiences of intuition that I've experienced.

Yeah, because it must be quite draining energetically, right?

It can be, depending on the other person's energy,

because you then become an empath.

You then start feeling what they're feeling.

I mean, it can be good experiences, but it all can be negative.

For example, if you're coming through a person, that you're reading through

a person that wants to kill themselves, or feels like they are really,

really ill, you will then feel those feelings, and then I'll say to them,

you will Look, I'm feeling pain in my shoulder and they'll say, yeah,

I'm getting pain in my shoulder.

How did you know?

Because you've, you've forgotten who you are and you've tuned

into their energy field.

And then you're picking up that energy.

And you're picking up that energy.

So that can be a little bit draining.

That can be very draining.

Regardless of how you ground yourself.

You still get drained.

There's a price for everything.

Wow.

So, so one of the things I really want to get into is, you know, how our listeners

can tap into their own intuition.

You know, I've read a lot on this because I think, I feel like I sense and feel

things and more so as I've been more connected to God, and we all have the

ability to connect, you know we all have natural intuition, I know that you

completely you know, talk about this a lot and if we allow for ourselves to

connect to the side, so whether we call it God, the Universe You know, light,

you know, however we want to term it, then we can always find the answers.

And as I've aged, I understand now that, you know, we are spiritual souls.

We're having a human experience.

So souls are put in this physical body so we can experience the physical.

And, you know, if you look at it this way we have a one in 400 trillion

chance of making it on earth from what I understand from the stats.

So.

I've done a lot of soul searching over the years as I've grown to understand why, you

know, why I've been put here, you know, what's the reason and because there's such

rare odds on having a human existence, I think it's all something we question

at some point in our lives so to be, to be and having this human life is a gift.

So, you know.

Why do we get that gift?

And over the years, I've developed a deep connection to my faith,

which is Sikhism, you know, and it's not dissimilar to other faiths.

I'm a true believer.

We're here for a reason, to love and be loved, and our interconnection.

You know, with other people and we're all part of this collective energy and to God

and we, you know, how we carry ourselves in this lifetime is really important.

So, you know, I've read so much about this and the types of intuition,

you know, for me, my connection to God provides me with the answers

and you certainly encourage this.

I know conversations we've had in the past to continue to

kind of tap into my intuition.

And the first two intuitions, from what I understand, and again I've read a lot

about this and you and I have discussed it, is clairvoyance, so, aka also known

as clairseeing, so when we see things whilst we're asleep, you know, our

third eye is open, so we all have this element of intuition in us, you know,

it's almost like a psychic vision, which, like me, most of us forget by

the time we wake up, so I think psychics still have that whilst they're awake,

and then there's clairsentience, which from what I understand is more of a,

Feeling which occurs in the solar plexus.

So, you know, a lot of us often say we have that gut feeling.

So, you know, solar plexus for us is a very powerful energy source,

especially if you think about the whole kind of birth process, you

know, around that part of the body.

And then, you know, psychics have this even more elevated.

They have those and then they have clairaudience, which I

understand is clairhearing.

So, Thoughts are guiding all the time around, you know, different things.

So it could be names, phrases, faces that come up.

And then there's clair cognizance, which means clear clear knowing.

So instant download, no known from the universe.

So there's no logical way that anyone could know this unless,

you know, you were kind of gifted.

So I understand there's various forms of being able to, to be intuitive,

but can you give us some top tips where, how you think that we.

They don't have the amazing powers that you do that can really

kind of tap into our intuition.

Absolutely.

I feel there's loads of various different ways and I feel everyone

should tap into a little bit of it to help themselves on their daily basis.

For example, we all like nice clothes.

What appeals us to those clothes?

Is it the fashion sense?

Is it the colour?

Think about, okay, why do you want that thing?

So let's say it's an item because it makes you feel good.

Why does it make you feel the fabrics nice?

The looks nice.

So these are all things that we're using from our intuition from our gut.

Okay, as long as we're feeling positive I say the word as long

as so it's all about positivity.

So intuition should be used positively So you should make sure that when

you think of something nice You're thinking for the good for the good of

yourself and for the good of others One could be for the things that we feel

attracted to the feelings that we feel attuned to Another could be messages.

I mean, in the older days, when I first started doing reading, I had

chandeliers which were crystals, and I had to get rid of them.

Every time I do a reading, the chandeliers would...

modern technology, we don't have those kind of chandeliers anymore.

We have more modern lights.

So, other ways of other people sensing things is, let's say, for example, they're

looking for an answer to a question.

They're repeating the question.

Something coincidentally comes up on their internet, searching the question

that they're asking, which could be like, will I be able to get that job?

And they'll see jobs come up.

So intuition is used very different with modern technology.

It could be through the phone.

It could be through the internet.

It could be through numbers.

So another way of using your intuition could be through seeing

Eleven, eleven, and all these numbers mean things like one, for

example, unity, five is removing obstacles, ten is getting there.

So there's lots of different things that are occurring on a spiritual

basis, on a day to day basis.

It's about us having the awareness.

So of course, loads of people can tap into it.

And the biggest form that I used to use was take yourself to a

happy place, regardless of what the situation is, and let your mind

guide you to what you're being shown.

If it's negative, dismiss it or use it to your advantage

and change it into positive.

Mm.

So, so just from a practical step, like, so if I wanted to know

the answer to something, so like you say how do I get that job?

Or am I gonna get that job?

So you are saying is, is, is it something, you know, you hear a lot

about, put it out to the universe.

What is it?

Should you actually just articulate it and just say, you know, to whatever higher

force, please can you give me a sign?

Well, what's the actual kind of process that you'd need to take?

There's a number of processes.

I mean, one is there's a desire of wanting something.

You're always going to have it want it.

It doesn't mean you're going to get it.

But if you have a desire of needing it.

You're going to create it so you actually get it.

It's a very small concept.

If you want something, you're always going to want it.

There's a difference, but if you feel you need that item,

you will get it a lot faster.

It's the way we humans are in the olden days.

It was surviving with spears and throwing things at animals and

cooking them and eating them.

But now, the thought process is different.

It's about need and want.

If you need something, you'll always get it.

If you want something, you'll always want it.

You won't get it.

So talk to me a bit about that then.

So, you know, if you want something, you'll get it.

What's the process?

And we talk, we hear a lot about...

There's no process.

Okay, manifestation.

So if you manifest into, I want to have a garden, and you're wanting

it, you're always going to want it.

If you say, I've already got it, visualize yourself as already having it.

You're halfway there because you've made that destiny, you've made that journey.

I mean, I know a lot of people that say, I want a husband, for example.

I really want a husband.

And I want him to be rich and really wealthy so he can have,

they're really, they're wanting it, they're not needing it.

When they meet the husband that's very rich and wealthy, they'll say, Nah, nah,

nah, he either looks too old, or he, he's not right because he's too rich for me.

Because they wanted it, they didn't feel they needed it.

There's a difference.

So a need would be a connection where, without a survival point,

you have to have that in your life.

That's a need.

A want is more of a desire.

And from my experience with a lot of people, when they've needed

something, they've been able to create that energy around them by

their simple focus of determination.

So that's interesting you say that because, you know, there are

a lot of people out there that are looking for the right relationship.

So let's put a spotlight on that.

So from using your intuition.

How would you be able to, whether you use manifestation intuitively, how would they

be able to manifest the person that's right for them to come into their life?

And yes, it will be placed from a place, you know, of of want and,

you know, to an extent, need.

Well, if it's from a place of want, it's harder to achieve it.

If it's from a place of need, it's faster to achieve it.

They have to look at themselves first and put themselves into

that other person's shoes.

So, let's say, for example, you want somebody rich and

you want somebody comfortable.

Make yourself rich first.

Okay, put yourself in that other person's shoes.

Think the way they will think.

You'll achieve it a lot faster.

In there, you're already using a couple of steps of intuition.

One is You're changing your thought process.

Two is you're being positive with it.

Three is you're making it happen by your belief, by your gut, by the feelings

and the vibrations that are around you.

So there's a whole number of things that can be done to achieve

the results of what people need.

by their thought process, by their actions.

Now, somebody could say to me, Yeah, but Natasha, I've

been needing a man for years.

But yet, you don't trust any man that you see.

Okay, because you was brought up without a father or you was brought

up with a father that caused problems.

So, so when I'm saying that they need to look at themselves

and they need to detach.

They need to change who they are as beings.

There is nothing we can't achieve in life if we change ourselves.

So almost like we're limiting ourselves, right?

We're holding ourselves back.

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Because our energy is quite strong, but it's, it's a lack of understanding.

Someone obviously has to teach us.

Unfortunately, I wasn't until I learned everything the hard way.

In my time, there was no one to teach me that process.

But my basis was from the belief of religion, that there's a God out there

and he's always thinking of good.

And the naiveness to my personality and the way that I experienced things

is what made me personally grow.

But it doesn't mean other people can't grow, it doesn't mean you

don't can't grow, it doesn't mean we all can't grow, you know.

And by using our gut instincts, like you said, from our solar plexus from the

feelings and the vibrations of energy.

You know, there's a lady that said to me, I don't have no intuition,

Natasha, nothing works for me.

I just came from my friend's house and I felt sick and I said, okay, hold on.

You came from your friend's house, why did you feel sick?

I don't know, it was just her energy.

There's your intuition, love.

You've got it.

You felt sick.

You were sick because she was not right.

There was something not right about the situation.

So I think there's a, a lot of misconception where people

think, Oh no, no, no, no, no.

We don't have that.

In actual fact, a lot of us do, but we have a lack of awareness.

And we dismiss it, right?

So to your point, we think that can't be intuition, right?

That's just coincidence.

A lot of people use the word coincidence.

Coincidence.

Absolutely.

Because they're scared, right?

Of what they are hearing or seeing.

Or they don't believe they've got the power within them to

be able to manifest answers.

Absolutely.

Correct.

And you talk a lot, I've heard you talk a lot about in the past about getting

yourself to a place of you know, you, you mentioned it earlier, meditative state.

So getting yourself to a place when you want to be able to tune into yourself

and get more familiar with yourself is being in a more meditative state.

So being in a relaxed, calm place, you, you know, a lot of people talk about going

to a place where you feel comfortable, whether it's a beach or whatever it is.

But to be able to get grounded and get yourself to a place where you'll

start, you're able to start hearing your inner voice more, is meditation

a good way or an avenue to do that?

Meditation is a very, very good way, but also within that meditation,

they also need to look at their body, how they are feeling health wise.

Are they feeling healthy?

Is there something missing?

If they're depressed, what's causing their anxiety and what they can do about it?

So, spirituality and meditation works hand in hand.

With good diet, with looking after your body, because remember our body and

our mind is what's helping us to do these visualizations or our meditations

or affirmations and our needs and our desires and their well being.

Hmm.

And we're all energy, aren't we?

Absolutely.

Absolutely.

Everything's energy.

Yeah.

Because we're all energy, because we're all vibration, that when we get

into a meditative state that we're able to hone into that energy more effectively

and sense things more effectively.

Absolutely.

Yeah.

Yeah.

And another thing I've heard as well, you know, people talk about,

you know, the other side, so whatever the other side, you know,

is or how we want to interpret it.

But, you know, people talk about sometimes channeling people that have

now left, you know, the world and, you know, they still feel connected to.

Is there a way that you can intuitively, I don't know, connect to people

you were once very close to, you know, to be able to get answers.

I mean, I've heard people say that, you know, sometimes I've asked a

question and a feather drops, right?

So from a spirit guide or whatever, and spirit guide doesn't have to

necessarily be someone you know, but it could be, you know, someone

that's actually looking out for you.

So we talk about guardian angels.

Angels, you know, Spirit Guides.

Can you talk to me a little bit about how people can tap

into that a little bit more?

What are Spirit Guides?

What are Guardian Angels?

How can we be able to tap into that more?

Well, Dal, that depends on how much they want to tap into it.

Because a lot of people will say to me, No, no, no, no, no.

You do the looking, you do the seeing, we don't want to see.

But yeah, there is, there is a number of ways by relaxing, by trusting within

yourself that you have the capability.

Loved ones do kind of come to me naturally through dreams, through

premonitions, through feelings, through all the things that you've described.

So, this aspect of it is by trusting, by trust and by love.

And the biggest secret in manifesting your intuition is

being able to love unconditionally, regardless of who they are.

What the person is they'll always be able to read, they'll always be able to pick up

on their loved ones that have passed over.

They'll have a feeling, they'll sense a smell their sense of looking,

their sense of their mind will tell them things and give them messages.

So it's about unconditioned love.

It's very rare.

That you're gonna pick up on somebody that's passed over that's

dead, for example, that you hated.

Because the energy there is just disrupted.

It's like if you have a broken arm, or you've got broken arms and you've

got broken legs, you can't tell the person how to walk to the next place

or you probably can't walk there.

So if you're thinking positively, it's very easy for other people to tune

into that energy by thinking of them, by remembering nice thoughts of them.

And like we are living on the earth, yes, there is also a spiritual ruler.

Just as many people there are human, there's just as many people on

the other side that are spiritual.

They're all spiritual.

We're all souls.

When we leave our body, we leave our cast behind, but our

soul is on a different plane.

So we all have spirit guides and guardian angels though, right?

Yeah.

Some of us are more tuned in.

Everybody does.

And some of us choose not to use it and some of us lose a plot using it.

Mm-Hmm.

And when I say use lose the plot using it, I'm talking about people

with mental health issues, severe mental health issues and something,

a term that psychologists would say.

'cause I had a client just a few weeks ago and I said to, but you do psychology.

She be Yeah, I know.

I know.

But not everybody has it controlled the way that you're able to control it.

Mm-Hmm mm-Hmm.

Wow.

Seeing too many things and not being able to control

it is a sign of madness.

Yeah, yeah, I guess, yeah, that's the, you know, the way to look at it.

And I think going back to the point around trusting your intuition, so

you know, you and I have talked about this, you know, in the past where,

you know, sometimes you, you'll keep seeing the same thing again and again.

So we've just said, you know, sometimes, you know, I looked

at my phone and it's like 4.

44 in the morning, right, and I see it for the whole week and actually

I'm like, boom, right, okay.

My spirit guides are saying whatever that problem is at that time, or that issue

that I'm facing, or what I'm looking for, is that a reaffirmation, I think,

of actually you're on the right path.

So instead of dismissing it, saying actually there's something in

this, or like I say that random feather or leaf that keeps coming

in your way, or a cat or a dog that you keep seeing again and again.

So just being more aware of the signs that are around you and being

able to say actually there's some affirmation there in whatever it is.

That you're thinking or wanting the answer to.

That's absolutely correct.

As long as it's positive, Dal, and not negative.

And when it's repetitive, because otherwise then it can

just go into superstition.

Oh, my glass broke because something was negative.

Yeah.

If it keeps on breaking, then there's a clear message in that.

If something consistently happens again and again, it's like when you, when a

child is at school and the teacher says, sit down George, and she said, she said

that to George ten times and George still doesn't sit down, it's the same way that

premonitions and messages will come.

They won't come to you once, they'll come to you a number of times because

they're lessons for you to learn.

So that makes sense?

Yeah.

A hundred percent.

So, it, it's something that's very, very common now and I....

I would say it's a lot more easily widespread and more easily

understood than many, many years ago.

Like, I remember I was, I was somewhere once and this lady, her daughter was

very, very ill and she said, Natasha, I just want to ask you one thing.

Can you just tell me?

And it was very, very personal and it was, it put me on the spot

actually at the time and she said, can you tell me, my daughter's very

critically and would she live or die?

And I was like, jeez.

And I said to her, no, she'll live.

And, you know, I had to kind of switch off from myself and tune in and I had

to feel all the energy in the presence and it was very, very strong energy.

You know, it wasn't this person's time.

So, yeah we can all do it.

We've all got it in us.

It depends on whether we choose to use it and how positive we are.

The more positive we are, The more we will have the premonitions because they

will feel comfortable in coming to us.

Can you imagine if you invite somebody to your house and you're

negative with them and said, Put that glass down there, you smell.

They're not going to come again, are they?

So how do you think spirits are?

It's also about positivity, being positive yourself, looking at the good.

Even in a negative situation.

And accepting the guidance that's been given to you, right?

Absolutely, absolutely.

Because it's to benefit you.

You're never going to get guidance to hurt you.

So remember, the energies are the energies we create.

So it's very important to create positive energy.

energies, regardless of how low we're feeling.

That includes me, even if I'm having a bad day, and let's say Dal's come to see me,

I'm going to forget I've had a bad day.

I'm going to think of being positive towards you..

So the bit I wanted to really get into as well because we talked about

it earlier with clairvoyance, and a lot of the time our third eyes come

alive when we're in our sleep, and that can sometimes come through dreams.

And I've had times where I've asked, you know God, universe to give me

an answer on something and then I get lots of repetitive dreams.

They're quite muddled up actually you know, so I've

tried to interpret them myself.

But I guess, you know, as I grow, my third eye is opening a lot more.

My intuition tends to come in my dreams.

How, how do people able to use their intuition through dreams?

How...

so by understanding them and remember sometimes they can't always understand

their own dream because it will be beyond them and then they'll need

to speak to somebody either like me or someone that interprets dreams or

feelings on the internet, they might pick up something, see how they felt

after the dream did it make them feel sad, did it make them feel happy.

Some dreams are mind production dreams, things that we

think about before we sleep.

And some dreams are premonition dreams.

So they have to differentiate which is which.

So it's just by practice, really.

Practice makes perfect.

And I started, I mean, I've got these I've got the Doreen Virtue cards

and I'm not a big believer of tarot cards.

I think these are quite soft, I suppose, in that regard.

And because I'm a true believer that we are, we should start

tapping into our intuition.

But sometimes I've got a question and I want an answer to it.

As you know, I I get frustrated if I don't get the answer straight away.

So what's your thoughts around using kind of angel cards like that?

You know, do they work?

Think it's, it's a doorway.

I think it can help you understand your intuition because it's

about your understanding.

So it doesn't matter whether they're Doreen Virtue or whether they're color

cards or whether they're tarot cards.

It's just opening that doorway of understanding for you.

I mean, I can, I can pick up things from a book.

Somebody could give me a storybook and say.

How's my day gonna be?

And pick up a line on there and say, well your day's gonna be like that.

My intuition works like that.

So it really depends on the individual and how they make that connection

with the item of what they're asking or they're looking for.

It's very similar to having a pendulum.

It's not very much different than having a board, although some people think

you're opening up different dimension.

So, yeah, I think there's quite a number of ways that people can do that.

That is so fascinating.

The other thing I really want to talk to you about, because I know people

are very intrigued by, is astrology.

So, you know, we've all watched Seema from Mumbai on the Indian Matchmaker

and, you know, she talks a lot about, believes a lot in astrology.

To be able to predict whether a relationship is going to work.

So astrology is becoming bigger and bigger, I think, you know, with people.

And I've never quite got my head around how the planetary positions when I

was born are going to dictate my life.

But can you talk to me a little bit about what astrology is?

You know, how do people tap into what their planetary positions are?

And what do they do with that?

Okay, so astrology is like numbers, names, date of birth, ages.

So it's also to do with intuition, but it's also scientific knowledge.

So science actually backs this kind of knowledge up.

A certain person, like you could have two twins, they could both be

born at, one could be born at 2am, the other one could be born at 2.

15.

One could have an amazing destiny, then the other could have a zero destiny,

depending on what planets were moving around the calculations of the time.

So, astrology readings are kind of scientific knowledge.

I would say they're also very handy for intuitive side as well, because they're

calculations of numbers, where things are placed, when things will happen.

and how they will happen.

So the prediction of relationships, for example, will be by the

calculations of two dates of birth, how two people will get on, how the

numbers resonate together with one another, how they'll actually go on.

So it's a very good perception and gives you quite a bit of awareness of what will

happen in that future for that person, whether it's a relationship that they

want to know about or when their destiny changes and when time is slightly better.

So yeah, I feel it's quite, it's quite good.

And how do we know?

Think there are apps, aren't there, where you can understand where your planetary

positions and, you know, that kind of...

There's a number of different apps that people can use

by putting their dates of birth in.

Just the date of birth ones are more their character analysis, like

numerology, also a form of intuition.

And then you have times of birth, which will tell you more of a precise,

detailed report of certain events.

Obviously, the only thing that astrology is not going to tell

you is the emotions of a person.

That's what a psychic will tell you, but they, they still intuitive

in the sense that it's all done by mathematical calculations of numbers

and numbers are also significant to us.

All these things are tools for us in our lives to help us to

have a better understanding of things, et cetera, et cetera.

I mean, even doctors have intuition.

You know, one of my doctors said, Oh, I had a feeling you had that

-you had a feeling in the doctor.

You had a feeling and quite a few of my clients are doctors and, you know, really

you'd think, Oh, Why docs are leaning in that because, you know, science once

upon a time said, if they can't prove anything, it doesn't really exist.

It's always looking for proof and evidence.

I always just blows my mind how, like I say, the positions of the

planet can impact us and our lives.

It just literally blows my mind.

But then it goes back to energetic, energetic fields and,

you know, all of those things.

So how much of a reliance do we think that we should have on astrology?

I would say about 50 50, because it gives you good and bad times,

it doesn't make those things occur.

So it gives you an idea of when it's good to do something or

when it's good to get married.

It doesn't actually make you get married, but you would have to have the knowledge

of how to kind of bring it about together.

And then also sometimes as human beings, we'll fight the information that's given.

So it's a concept of looking with inside ourselves.

So a lot of us should use our intuition to heal ourselves, to better ourselves.

You know, just like we want to go training or we want to go to the

gym to get slimmer or get fitter.

Same way we should use our intuition to better our lives and

enhance what goes on around us.

And to have a better understanding, so, somebody's trying to make a mug

out of us, we have that awareness.

Is there such thing as free will?

Because a lot of it, especially in Asian cultures, and we talk about Gismuth, we

talk about our destiny's already written.

Is there such thing as free will?

Can we, can we change our lives?

Is it pre written?

Or do we have an element of being able to control that ourselves?

To a certain extent, but there's certain things we can't

control like birth and death.

Okay, so to a certain extent.

So you've asked me something very broad term, which I can't really

give you a yes or no answer, because there is a higher being there.

We are just little tools that are learning what our destinies are in

this lifetime and what we play in this whole universe thing that you've

just explained, you know, saying that we're part of an energy force.

So to answer that is very difficult for me, to be honest, because I have seen

things in my life, certain things can change, but there's only a slight leeway.

Death and birth cannot be changed.

We all have to die.

We're all born.

Yeah.

And I guess it's a belief system, isn't it?

It's like we were talking about earlier, you've got to have belief in yourself.

You've got to, you know, manifestation is all about, you know, to extent

being able to change your free will.

So it's like you say, certainly in Asian culture, you hear a lot, you hear about

the parents and grandparents saying.

It's written, I can't do anything about it.

So they use that as leverage to not do anything about it because

they're saying, well actually my life's supposed to be like this.

But actually...

You're talking about destiny, so destiny can be

changed at a certain extent.

I was referring to more the life and death aspect of it, that we all

have to go, we can't change that.

But how we choose to live our lives, we have a certain leverage where

we can change things to a certain extent by having that knowledge

and awareness, and that's normally when people turn to a spiritualist.

But then we ourselves have to make that change, just by the psychic

or the spiritualist giving you that information, doesn't make your

life change, it's you that has to make it change by your actions.

So, for example, we all know we've gotta die.

But how we live that life or how we choose to look after

ourselves is a different thing.

It's something that we can be in control of if we wish to choose to.

So where people are saying about their destiny and how we're doomed to be gloomy.

I don't totally agree with everything because I think

certain things can be changed.

Yeah,

By our actions because we, you know, God has given us that

leverage creation or higher force and by being positive you're taking away

the negativity and a simple motto for me is if you want to be happy, look at

the simple things in life, go to the garden, look at appreciation, appreciate

life, appreciate that you can talk, appreciate you can smile, we're here,

we're alive, appreciate these things and I feel a lot of people in this day and

age with modern technology forget that.

Why isn't he listening to me?

Why didn't my boss say this to me?

We can get so lost in it, and as I was saying earlier, I think it's, I

think the stats are something like 1 in 400 trillion chance of being put on this

earth, so to actually even be here is a privilege, but we get so lost, don't we,

in some of those really kind of minute details are like, you know, he said this

to me and you, before, you know, you're not speaking to that person for 30 years

and you, you, you're losing life, right?

So the bit that you're saying a lot around, you know, being more appreciative,

being more in the present moment and, you know, having that element of free

will, I think is really important and just being able to take stock of that.

You know, I could talk to you forever because I find you so fascinating, but

I'm going to just jump now to What I do at the end of every podcast is just to

do a couple of quickfire questions and one of the questions that I like to ask,

especially being a Happiologist, is to understand, you know, what's your view?

What's the key to happiness?

Keeping life simple.

Enjoying and appreciating things that you have in your life on a daily basis.

Not being complicated.

Smiling is a blessing because you can smile.

It doesn't cost you anything.

It makes the other person feel better.

So, I would say to happiness, keep life simple, appreciate what you

have rather than what you don't have.

I love that.

And I think as you get older you start to, to get, to get into more that

kind of sense of feeling, isn't it?

About being really more appreciative.

And then, the other question that I was going to ask you is, if you knew

then what you do now, what would you tell your 20 year old self?

Is there anything that you would, would, would do, have done differently?

No, absolutely not.

I know this is something you didn't expect me to say when I was younger.

I used to think, why am I getting in this situation?

Why me?

I'd say no, appreciate everything that you've gone through

and look at the good in it.

So no, I wouldn't tell my 20 year old self anything.

I love that.

That's a really good place to be actually, isn't it?

It's just to say actually everything happened in my life has happened

for a reason and You know, it's led me to the place I am today.

Natasha, listen, it's been fascinating.

I know you've not been feeling well.

It's kind of January blues.

We've all got a cold.

So I just want to say thank you so much.

I know people can find you on Psychic Readings Direct.

They want to get in touch with you.

I think just for our listeners, you know, on behalf of them, thank you so much.

I think the lessons and the advice that you're giving us to really

trust yourself, tap into your own intuition, trust, be curious.

Connect with source.

Trust your instincts.

You don't have to be a psychic to do that.

So, I just want to say thank you to you, to all the listeners,

and I wish you all love and

light.

Thank you very much.

Thanks for tuning in, lovely listeners.
