    50 - Manifestation Has Changed: What If It’s Not About Attracting Anything?

    What if manifestation isn't really about attracting things towards you at all? I've been exploring manifestation for decades, right back to my Reiki training in the 1980s, but lately I've started looking at it rather differently. In this episode, I'm bringing together spirituality, psychology and neuroscience to explore what might really be happening when we try to create change in our lives. We talk about the predictive brain, the nervous system and why the familiar can sometimes feel safer than the future we say we want. I explore self-sabotage, identity, intuition, synchronicity, gratitude, the higher self and why visualising your perfect future might only be part of the story. There's also a question I particularly want you to think about: can you actually feel safe having the thing you're trying to manifest? Because perhaps manifestation isn't about sitting back and waiting for the universe to deliver. Perhaps it's about becoming the version of yourself who can recognise an opportunity, receive it and do something with it. And at the end of the episode, I've included a guided meditation where you'll meet your future self and ask her what she had to stop believing, what she knows now that you need to know today, and what your next step might be. This isn't about pretending everything is wonderful or trying to control the universe. It's about curiosity, consciousness, intuition, action and leaving just enough room for a little bit of mystery. Because maybe the most important manifestation isn't what you get. Maybe it's who you're becoming.

    49 - Where Does Your Consciousness Go When You Sleep?

    Where do you go when you fall asleep? Not your body. Hopefully that stays exactly where you left it! I mean your awareness, your sense of self, your consciousness. In this episode, I’m exploring what actually happens as we move from wakefulness into sleep, from that strange hypnagogic state where thoughts, images and sounds begin to blur, through sleep paralysis, vivid dreams, lucid dreaming and deep sleep. I look at what neuroscience tells us about the sleeping brain, what psychology can tell us about dreams, memory and the unconscious, and then I wander into the territory I find most fascinating: consciousness itself. Why can a dream feel completely real while we're experiencing it? How can part of us suddenly become aware that we're dreaming? Why do we sometimes dream about people we've lost and wake feeling as though we've genuinely spent time with them? And could some of what we call intuition simply be information our brain noticed without our conscious awareness? As a medium, there's another question I can't resist exploring. Is every experience we have during sleep generated entirely within the brain, or could consciousness be capable of something we don't yet fully understand? I'm not interested in turning every unusual experience into something paranormal, but I'm equally reluctant to dismiss the things we can't yet explain. Somewhere between neuroscience, psychology and the metaphysical lies an enormous mystery. And every single night, we enter it.

    48 - Who’s Speaking? The Mystery of Spirit Guides and Consciousness

    We talk about spirit guides so casually. “My guide told me this.” “I felt my guide around me.” But who, or what, are we actually talking about? In this episode, I want to question some of the assumptions we make about spirit guides and spiritual guidance. After decades of working as a medium, including trance, séance, automatic writing and trans-physical mediumship, I’m actually more curious about consciousness than ever. I talk about my own relationship with Francis and why, for me, recognising another consciousness has developed gradually through personality, humour, communication and consistency. But I also want to ask the difficult question: how do we know when something is coming from another consciousness rather than our own imagination, subconscious mind or intuition? We explore the psychology of intuition, cryptomnesia and the extraordinary amount of information our brains process without our conscious awareness. I also share my experience of having my brain activity measured with electrodes while working in an altered state of consciousness during trans-physical healing, and why I believe science, psychology and spirituality should be part of the same conversation rather than opposing sides. Could what we call a spirit guide be someone we've known in another existence? An aspect of our higher self? A non-human consciousness? Or something for which we simply don't have the language yet? I also talk about something I feel very strongly about: discernment. I don't believe we should hand over responsibility for our lives simply because “my guide told me.” Genuine spiritual development should encourage us to question, learn and understand our own minds, not become dependent on an invisible authority. Perhaps we need to stop thinking of guides as beings who direct our lives and start thinking about them as companions in consciousness. So make yourself a coffee and come and explore this with me. I certainly don't have all the answers, and I'm suspicious of anyone who says they do. Perhaps the real question isn't, “Do I have a spirit guide?” Perhaps it's this: How much of consciousness are we actually aware of, and who or what might have been walking beside us all along?

    47 - Could We Be Friends With Another Consciousness?

    Could we ever be friends with a consciousness that isn’t human? I’m sitting here in beautiful Jersey, and one of those wonderfully unexpected conversations has sent me down a rather enormous rabbit hole. We hear so much now about UAPs, unexplained sightings, government investigations and the possibility of life elsewhere in this extraordinary universe. But I’m interested in a slightly different question. If another form of intelligent consciousness exists, why do we so often imagine it as something to fear? Why couldn’t we communicate with it? Learn from it? Become fond of it? Could we even become friends? In this episode I’m exploring consciousness in all sorts of directions, from the relationships we have with our animals and the strange ways we seem to understand one another without words, to mediumship, life after physical death, UAPs, extraterrestrial intelligence and my own experiences with Francis. I also talk openly about my belief that I am a hybrid and why, for me, the possibility of other forms of consciousness doesn’t feel frightening at all. It feels exciting. Perhaps the really important question isn’t simply whether we are alone in the universe. Perhaps it’s whether we are open-minded enough to recognise another consciousness when we meet it. So, coffee in hand (although inevitably it goes cold!), come and have this conversation with me. How big can the word “we” become?

    46 - The Mysterious Ways We Pick Up Information

    Have you ever walked into a building for the very first time and felt absolutely certain that somehow you’ve been there before? That happened to me recently while exploring an ancient building with my husband, and of course, it got me thinking. Where does that strange sense of knowing come from? In this episode, I’m exploring psychometry, the information we may pick up from objects and places, what happens when we sense somebody standing behind us before we’ve seen or heard them, and whether consciousness might be communicating in ways we still don’t fully understand. I also talk about my own experiences as a trans physical medium, receiving information I couldn’t already know, and why the different identities and personalities that come through continue to fascinate me after all these years. And then we wander a little deeper into the higher self, past lives, the possibility that all our lives may be happening in the present moment, and one rather wonderful question... What if we are far more than we think we are? I certainly don’t have all the answers, and I’m rather glad I don’t. Isn’t it wonderful to wonder?

    45 - You Don’t Need Permission to Be You

    How much of your life do you spend inside your own head? I woke up at around three o’clock this morning with one of those minds that simply wouldn’t switch off. And it got me thinking about thinking itself. We all have that voice in our heads. It worries about things that haven’t happened, replays conversations from years ago, imagines what other people might think of us and occasionally comes out with something so ridiculous that we wonder where on earth it came from. But if you can hear that voice... who is doing the listening? In this episode, I explore the difference between our thoughts and the awareness behind them, and what might happen when we stop believing everything our minds tell us. I talk about overthinking, rumination, self-doubt and our constant search for approval. Why do we so often need somebody else to tell us we're good enough? Why do we compare our lives with other people's? And how easily can we end up living somebody else's version of life instead of our own? We also wander into creativity and intuition, those strange moments when an idea simply arrives from nowhere. Are we always creating our thoughts, or could there be times when we're somehow receiving them? And perhaps more importantly, what might we hear if we became quiet enough to listen? This is a very personal, early-morning conversation about authenticity, intuition, consciousness, trusting yourself and discovering what might exist underneath all that noise in your head. Because the next time your mind tells you you're too old, too late, not clever enough, not creative enough or simply not good enough, perhaps you don't need to argue with it. Just notice it. Because if you can hear the voice, you can't be the voice. Visit margaretdepetro.com to book a Tarot reading, a numerology reading, explore courses, or step deeper into your own journey.

    44 - Why Does Time Seem to Be Speeding Up? The Science, Psychology & Spirituality of Time

    Why Does Time Seem to Be Speeding Up? The Science, Psychology & Spirituality of Time Have you noticed that the years seem to be passing faster and faster? As children, six weeks of summer felt endless. Christmas seemed to take forever to arrive. And yet, as adults, we can take the Christmas decorations down, turn around... and somehow we're putting them back up again. So what is happening? In this episode, I explore the fascinating science and psychology behind our perception of time, and why our experience of it appears to change as we get older. We’ll look at the relationship between time, memory and attention; why new experiences can make life feel longer; what routine does to our memories; why frightening moments can seem to happen in slow motion; and how our increasingly fast, phone-filled world may be changing the way we experience our days. I also venture into some of the stranger territory surrounding time, from Einstein and relativity to meditation, spirituality and the often-discussed Schumann resonance, separating what science can actually tell us from the bigger questions that remain. But perhaps the most important question isn't why is time going so quickly? Perhaps it's: Where am I while it's going? Because somewhere in the ordinary life you're living today may be a moment that the future version of you would give almost anything to experience again. At the end of the episode, I'll guide you through a beautiful meditation designed to slow everything down, bring your attention back into the present and help you experience just how much life can exist inside a single moment. Maybe we can't stop time from passing. But perhaps we can become much more present while it does.

    43 - Apparitions: Are We Really Seeing the Dead? Ghosts, Consciousness & the Science of Seeing Spirits

    Have you ever seen someone who couldn't possibly have been there? Perhaps you've woken in the night and, just for a moment, seen someone standing in the room. Maybe you've felt somebody sit on the bed, caught a figure from the corner of your eye, sensed the presence of someone you love after they've died, or experienced something you simply couldn't explain. In this episode, I'm exploring the fascinating world of apparitions, ghosts, spirits, consciousness and life after death. I've been reading Alchemy and Mysticism by Alexander Roob, and its exploration of apparitions sent me down one of my favourite rabbit holes. Human beings have reported seeing mysterious figures, deceased loved ones, religious apparitions and unexplained presences for centuries. But what are we actually experiencing? Could an apparition be evidence that consciousness continues after death? Could grief and memory create an incredibly convincing experience? Could the brain itself generate the sensation that another person is present? And what about crisis apparitions, when someone apparently sees or senses a person around the time of their death, sometimes before they even know that person has died? I'm looking at this from both sides. We'll explore spirituality and mediumship, but also psychology, neuroscience, perception, bereavement experiences and the fascinating ways our brains interpret the world around us. As a trans-physical medium, I've had experiences of my own, including sensing loved ones and animals who have passed. But I'm not here to tell you what to believe. Maybe it's spirit. Maybe it's the mind. Maybe it's grief. Maybe it's something happening neurologically. Or perhaps consciousness is far stranger than we currently understand. I want you to make up your own mind. And I'll leave you with one question... If you saw somebody standing at the end of your bed tonight, somebody you knew couldn't possibly be there, what would convince you that you'd really seen them? And what would convince you that you hadn't? If you'd like me to look at your own numbers, I also offer personalised numerology readings. I use your full date of birth, exact time of birth and place of birth to create your individual reading, which I record personally for you as a private audio message.
