Dr. Lotte Valentin, a unique blend of medical doctor, psychic medium, and former atheist, shares a truly captivating life story centered around two profound near-death experiences (NDEs). Her journey reveals a radical shift in perspective, moving from a purely scientific worldview to a deep understanding of the spiritual realm and an interconnected grid that binds us all.
From Atheist to Awakened: The First NDE
Dr. Valentin’s life took an extraordinary turn after the birth of her third child, amidst two significant earthquakes. A severe postpartum hemorrhage led to her first NDE. As an atheist, her experience of being outside her body, yet still herself, was baffling. She describes being enveloped in unconditional love and peace, devoid of worries, and most remarkably, perceiving no time – with access to past, present, and future simultaneously. Despite this profound event, her scientific conditioning initially led her to rationalize it as a hallucination. It was her mother-in-law who first introduced her to the concept of NDEs, offering a framework for her inexplicable encounter.
The Second NDE: Unveiling the Interconnected Grid
Years later, while battling a severe, unexplained illness that caused bone marrow suppression, Dr. Valentin experienced her second NDE. This time, the message was unmistakable. She found herself tumbling through darkness before arriving at a “mid-station,” enveloped by a brilliant, pure light and the most beautiful, unearthly music emanating from angelic silhouettes. Here, she gained the powerful knowing that this light was Source, and we are all inherently part of it.
Crucially, one of her spirit guides revealed a pivotal truth: everything on Earth is connected, and everything is linked to a silvery, glittery fishnet surrounding the planet – what we now recognize as an interconnected grid. This revelation became the cornerstone of her current work in ancestral healing, emphasizing how we are all profoundly interconnected. This profound experience cemented her spiritual path, ultimately guiding her to medical school to combine her scientific and spiritual understanding.
Dr. Valentin’s journey underscores that even the most skeptical minds can be opened to the boundless nature of consciousness through direct experience. Her story is a testament to the transformative power of NDEs and the reality of an interconnected grid that guides and supports us.

Transcript of the interview
Dr Lotte Valentin 0:00
My life took a 180 degree turn after I had my third child, because that's when I had my first near death experience. I was giving birth in the middle of two earthquakes, and I said, Wow, how can I be outside my body and still be me? There was this, you know, there's this unconditional love and peace. There's no worries, but I also knew that there was no time and you could access past, present and future all at the same time. There was no time. It took me a good six years to come out of this, and I kept having this feeling of my soul is separating from my body. It was one of these nights that I had my second near death experience, and I always joke that I didn't get the full effect during my first near death experience, that they had to do it again so I could actually get the message I needed to fulfill my life contract. So and then what followed was, you know, a lot of spiritual experiences where I would see the future before it happened. And sometimes, you know, people come on my screen and I already hear a diagnosis. This person has this. And then I'll say, you know, did anybody ever diagnose you with this?

Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here.
Jannecke Øinæs 1:49
I'm truly excited to dive deep with you today, especially into your two near death experiences that you've had, and you've had a fascinating life. And the combination of all things is truly interesting. You are a medical doctor. Today, you were an atheist, for sure. Today, you're also a psychic medium, an evidential psychic medium, award winning author, keynote speaker, ancestral healer. And the best part is that you come from Sweden, my neighbor country, right?
Dr Lotte Valentin 2:26
I know we're neighbors. I know. How did I end up on this side of the world? It's such a crazy story. When I think of my life like you said, it is. It is a crazy story because I was an atheist. I did not believe in anything. I didn't believe in God or Jesus or angels or the spirit world. I thought, you die, it's black, you're gone. That was my belief. And I was raised in Sweden. And back when I was raised in the 1960s the state and the church were not separated yet. So if you were born in Sweden, you were a Lutheran, and that meant you probably got confirmed, like I, like all my classmates, we were all confirmed when we were 14. So we read the Bible, we did all that work. I did not believe in anything. I said, this is just crazy. This is like a fairy tale that can't be any truth to this. So anyway, so I grew up and I married an American and moved to United States when I was 21 and I went to Boston University and then worked as a programmer and systems analyst of all things. So I have a side that's very, you know, scientific and systematic organizing, you know, the thoughts and all of that. But the interesting part is, then I took a leave of absence because I had my first child, then I had my second child, and then I had my third child. So I ended up just leaving work and said, No, I'm just going to stay home for a couple of years. But my life took a 180 degree turn after I had my third child, because that's when I had my first near death experience. And I was giving birth in the middle of two earthquakes, a 7.4 earthquake and a 7.2 earthquake. So as I was contracting about three minutes apart, we had the first huge earthquake. It was later downgraded to a 7.3 but the newspaper said 7.4 and I gave birth in the eastern part of Anaheim in California, which is where Disneyland is, for those of you who know where that is. But this hospital was a new hospital, so it was built on rollers, and it bordered the desert, and this earthquake was centered in the desert, and that's why we didn't have that much damage. But there were, you know, over 100 people injured and two people died. But it could have been way, way worse if it had been centered, you know, closer to the population. So anyway, so I'm on the I'm contracting three minutes apart, and this huge earthquake hit. And it was one of those moments in my life when I thought I was going to die, because, you know how in the hospital, they have those little metal plates and all the metal instruments, and they were like levitating up and down. They were bouncing on the trace, and the hospital was just rolling. We lost all the power in the hospital. And I'm thinking, This is it, like, I'm not going to give birth. I feel so sad for my two boys that are six and three and a half. My parents had come over from Sweden to help care for the kids, and I thought, This is it. We're all going to die, but the windows are going to come crashing in, or the ceiling tiles are going to just bury us in rubble. Well, the earthquake stopped. My labor also stopped. So when you're in that much danger, you're going to stop your labor, labor and get yourself to safety anyway. Long story short, the labor started back up, and I gave birth. A 7.2 earthquake hit, and then I finally got to hold the baby, so they gave me the baby, and I'm just screaming, take the baby. Take the baby. And I was in so much pain, and that was the first time I hemorrhaged, so a mountain of blood clots came out, and they kept massaging my uterus. We still didn't have any power in the hospital. They put me on an IV drip to, you know, contract the uterus back down, and they kept me in the hospital for an extra day. Well, then they said, Okay, well, everything looks good now, so we're going to send you on your way. And then, you know, eight days later, I had these severe pains, and I kept having to sit down, I couldn't even hold the baby, and they would just come and go. And my friends had organized a little baby shower for me, because I had given birth to a girl and I had two boys. So I went to the park, to this playground where they were going to have this little get together. I go to use the restroom, and this enormous blood clot comes out. I mean, it's the size of a baby's head. So I go tell my friend. I said, Something is very, very wrong. I had this huge amount of blood come out. And I went home, my parents called my husband, we went to the ER, and they come in, they do a manual visual examination. They say, well, there isn't that much bleeding going on right now, so we're just going to keep you for observation and and then we'll send you on your way. No tests, nothing. So after about two hours, they said, Well, it looks like there's not much bleeding, so we're going to send you home the next evening, same thing happened again. I went to use the restroom. Huge blood clot comes out, and it's late in the evening. So my husband calls the hospital and I'm yelling, I am not going because they're not going to do anything. So the next morning, it was decided I should see the doctor where we lived in Huntington Beach, California. At the time, I saw the doctor, he did a manual inspection. He said, Well, doesn't seem to be that much bleeding happening right now. Could have been a second lining that came out sent me on my way. No tests, nothing. Same thing happens again that afternoon, another large blood clot. So now this is the third time. I mean, these are huge blood clots, you know, like like a man's large fist. So again, I said, All right, we're gonna have to go back to the ER. This is the third time now. So we go back to the ER. They come in, they do a visual examination. They say, well, there isn't much bleeding going on right now. Could have been a second lining. So I'm thinking, how many linings are there? I've been doing this. This is three times now. So they close the door, they leave me on lying on this table, and I don't even have a belt to ring. I'm just lying on this table, and as I'm lying in the ER, all of a sudden I start bleeding again. And this is the divine intervention, when somebody pinged this nurse from the spirit world and said, go check on this person, because if she hadn't come that within that minute, I probably wouldn't be here today, because it was down to the seconds. So she opens the door, she comes in, she looks and she can see how much I've been bleeding. I mean, all this the paper on the bed is all soaked with blood. So she quickly cleans it up, yeah, and she puts a call out on the speaker, and she goes, OBGYN stat to the ER, OB GYN stat to the ER. And I swear, within 30 seconds, this middle aged man came running full speed into my room with a younger physician in tow, and he said, How much have you been bleeding? So I said, Well, I've been this started, you know, three days ago, I've been bleeding Wednesday, Thursday, now it's Friday. And he said, Okay, they started with a visual examination again. So. So as they are examining me, another large blood clot comes out. So now this is the fifth time I'm bleeding right in three days, and at this point I have so little blood left in my body, so I try to sit up and tell the doctor I'm not feeling too good. And of course, he knew, because he understood how much I had been bleeding, because he could see this enormous blood clot come out. So he just pushes me down on the table. And at this point, I can't keep my eyes open, so I can hear the room filling with the staff, and he's tipping the table so my head goes towards the floor, my feet goes up towards the ceiling, and I can hear everybody coming in, and I have a nurse on my right that's putting a blood pressure cuff on, and a nurse on my left that's trying to place an IV,
Dr Lotte Valentin 10:53
and I feel like I just jumped out of an airplane without a parachute. I feel like I'm just falling. And I'm thinking, you know, what's taking this nurse so long to get this IV and but I was going into shock, so your veins start to collapse, and it makes it really difficult to get an IV in. So this nurse on my right yells out, 50, over 15, hurry. And that was my blood pressure. So at this point, you know, I you start, you know, 60 over 20 is already too low. Now you're starting to not be able to support that heartbeat. So it was, it was really shortly after she yelled that out, that I knew that I was dying, and that was such a different experience from that thought that I was going to die that I had when I was giving birth. Because a lot of us have had feelings like, oh my gosh, I'm going to die. You know, you're almost in a car accident, right? But this was very different, because I knew that I was dying at this point, and I had that knowledge, and the atheist that I was and did not believe in anything. I said, Well, if any of the things they told me when I was confirmed is true, that is my only chance now. So you know, God, please let me live. I have three children under the age of six. They need a mother. I'm thinking, My husband is never going to be able to raise three kids. And I was like, they need a mother, right? And as soon as I said that prayer, I was pulled out of my body. And the first thing I thought when I got pulled out of my body, because you are still you in this state, even though you're separated out. And I said, Wow, how can I be outside my body and still be me. How does this work? And there was this, you know, there's this unconditional love and peace. There's no worries, right? When you're in this state, you're not worrying about anything. It's like you're just a complete ease, complete peace. But I also knew that there was no time. There was no time in this state, and you could access past, present and future all at the same time there was no time. And this drove me crazy for years later, trying to figure out why there's no time. And as soon as I had these experiences, you know, I also knew I was like, I belonged to the body on the table. I knew that was my home. Just like if you drive the car to the grocery store, and you go into the grocery store, you come back out, you know that's your car, and you get back in the car. So pretend that your body is the soul getting back into into the car, getting back into your body. It's the same kind of feeling like you're just stepping out of your car, you go into the grocery store, then you go back into your car. It was it was like that, I stepped out of my body and then I stepped back in. But when you're outside the body, there are no worries. It's like all your worries go away. Imagine driving your car, going to the grocery store, and then stepping out of your car, you have no worries anymore. But it's like it, it's like this unconditional peace. So with that, I got sent back into my body, got pulled back in, and as I'm lying in the in the hospital bed in the room the next morning, and I'm trying to figure out, first of all, I said, I can't tell anybody about this, because they're going to lock me up in the psych ward. They're going to think I have completely lost it. I am, you know, not capable of taking care of my children. And this nurse came to check on me, and she said she was actually a Norwegian nurse, because they knew I was Swedish, so they sent me a Norwegian nurse. And she said, did anything unusual happen to you yesterday in the ER, because she was probably aware of near death experiences, and she probably figured I might have had one, but I was petrified. I said, No, no, nothing at all. Nothing unusual happened. Because I figured, you know, they're going to put me in the psych ward if I tell them what happened. You. Because my own belief system could not support my own experiences, right? I had no belief system that supported what I had experienced. So as I'm lying in the hospital room trying to ponder what happened and how could that be so real, right? Such a real experience, I hear my sister in law talking to me, who had just recently passed away within the few days before, and she says, Everything is going to be okay. And I'm thinking now, I think I hear the spirit world right, like, am I, am I going crazy? I mean, it was, it was, you know, kind of upsetting to me, because I couldn't explain anything. I didn't understand how anything worked. So with that, I got sent home, and then I got really sick. I was sick. I had I ended up having bone marrow suppression, so I had no blood in my in my body, I had no platelets. So I would bruise. If I put my knee on the floor, I would get a bruise that covered my whole knee just tying my children's shoes.
Dr Lotte Valentin 16:00
And it took me six months. I basically sat in a rocking chair for six to nine months because I had so little blood in my body, they didn't give me a blood transfusion. Because when the first thing the doctor said was, I have to give you blood. And I said, Do you have to give me blood? And he said, Why do you not want blood? And do you have some kind of religious belief that prevents you from taking a blood donation? And I said, No, but everybody that receives a blood transfusion seems to be getting AIDS, because it was during that AIDS epidemic, and we didn't know how to test for it, or we didn't have any cure for it. And you know, six years later, people woke up after having a blood transfusion, and now they had AIDS. So he said, Well, you are young and healthy. Otherwise, I was 34 at the time, picture of health. And he said, we're gonna, we're gonna just watch you. So they sent me home with who knows what, medications and vitamins, and I know I slept pretty much for the first two months, because this happened. My daughter was born in at the end of June. My this experience was July 10, and I pretty much slept the rest of July and August. My first almost memories start in September, because I had so little blood in my body, and I was just ice cold. My hands and feet were ice cold, and I we were in California in the summer, and I was under wool blankets, and I couldn't keep my head on a pillow because my head would pound so much I couldn't walk from the bedroom to the living room without almost passing out, because those, you know, 20 steps, it would just, you know, start to fade, and I would throw myself onto the sofa. So this went on for quite some time, and I had what's called a bone marrow suppression, and we all got pneumonia that Christmas, and we didn't have any medical insurance because my husband's company had been bought, and we, you know, everybody got laid off, and we couldn't afford to pay for what's called an interim insurance, or Cobra insurance, because those are really, really expensive. And we were in our early 30s, so I said, Well, I don't want to pay for that hospital insurance anyway, because they did such a poor job, you know, taking care of me. So I said, we're just going to wait three months. Everything's going to be okay. Well, this went on for a year, and we didn't get insurance until a year later, because my husband was, like, at a higher level business position, like a regional position, and he just took the first best job because he had to support the family. And so he took a job. We right when we hit three months, he got a better offer. So he took that job after three months and got another offer. So it took us, you know, the whole nine months to to get new insurance. So we all get sick at Christmas, we go to a walk in clinic, and we have, you know, we all have the flu, we all get pneumonia, and everybody gets well, except for me, I get worse, so I go back to the walk in clinic. Now, this is six months after my near death experience, and the doctor said, Wow, you're really sick. You know, something else is going on with you. So they took my blood, and he comes back in the room and he says, Well, you have no immune system. Do you have AIDS or leukemia? And I said, well, hopefully not aids, because I refuse to blood transfusion, and I don't see a reason why I would have, you know, leukemia. So he said, Well, you're way too sick. You have to go to the ER. And I'm like, No, I am not going to the ER. So anyway, they gave me all these medications. They called me the next day to make sure I wasn't dying. He said, If you get any worse, you have to go to the ER, because you are really, really sick. Well, five months went by, I got pneumonia again in May, and I bumped into the baby's changing table, something that would give you a bruise, like the size of a small coin, I had a bruise that spanned my entire hip area that was purple and red. So this is now, you know, we're figuring out, okay, something is very wrong. You have no platelets, you have no immune system. You get sick all the time. You're exhausted. So this doctor, again, said you have to go. To the ER, we have to run all these tests on you. And I said, Look, it is in the middle of May. I'm getting insurance July 1. If I go now, they're going to say I have a pre existing condition. I'm never going to going to get the insurance, and that's it. I'm going to have problems for the rest of my life. So again, he gave me all the different medications, and he was such a nice, nice doctor. He gave me some free samples and inhalers and steroids and who knows what, and sent me on my way. And again, I managed to pull out of it. And so this went on for it took me a good six years to come out of this. And I kept having this feeling of my soul is separating from my body. And I always had to kind of hold on to my soul, and I would say, No, we're not leaving. We're not leaving, right? And this just went on for several years, especially for the first three years I had this issue, and I was just too used to it. And I would wake up in the middle of the night and I would take my head off the pillow and put, sometimes pull my legs up to get more blood into my head. Well, it was one of these nights that I had my second near death experience. And I always joke that I didn't get the full effect during my first near death experience, that they had to do it again so I could actually get the message I needed to fulfill my life contract on Earth, right? Because it's the second experience that really gave me the reason for why I'm here.
Jannecke Øinæs 21:28
I jump in and just ask when you have the first near death experience before you share about the second one. Were you convinced then that okay, there is more, or did you actually explain it away with a rational mind that I must have hallucinated. This didn't mean anything.
Dr Lotte Valentin 21:45
Absolutely, I did. I said this. It can't be like what was that? And my mother in law was actually the only person who really understood what had happened. And she said right away within she came when my parents went home in August, my mother in law came in, and she stayed for three or four weeks, and she said, Tell me what happened in the ER. And I told her what had happened and how high, high had left my body. And she said, What you had is called a near death experience. And she went out and bought me the book, Life After Life by Raymond Moody. So then I, of course, I devoured that book, and then I started understanding that this is some kind of a spiritual experience, but I still had a hard time, you know, taking it to heart, because then I told my dad, and my dad was a physician, so he said, No, no, no, that can't happen. It just can't happen, right? He was such a scientist. And it's really, it's really interesting because, you know, now he's in the spirit world. And during a reading, when I studied mediumship at Arthur Findlay College in England, my teacher said, Oh, your dad is here, and he's, he's just popping in, and he just wants you to, he just wants you to know that, oh, you know that I was right. You know, you proved me wrong. It's what he said. You proved me wrong. Because now he's on the other side, and he's understanding that we do have a connection with the spirit world. But, you know, it was really difficult. It took me a long time to take it to heart. So it's during this time that I have a second near death experience, and again, in the middle of the night, I wake up, my head is pounding, and, you know, I take my head off the pillow, but again, within because these experiences happen so quickly. It's just, you just get sucked out of your body. And you know, it is so it is just instantaneous, like you're in your body, and then the next instant you are not so you're inside and all of a sudden you're outside. But this second experience is so different, because I found myself just tumbling through darkness, almost like you're a spaceship flying through space, just darkness. And I get to this place that I call the mid station, because I had an awareness that there were, like, higher levels on lower levels, but I ended up on this middle ground. So I call it the bouncing station, because they sent me back. But it's like, if you go into a skyscraper, a really tall building, and there is 100 floors, and you push the button on the 50th floor, you get off on the 50th floor, you know that everything that's on 50th floor because you're on the 50th floor. You know that there's floors above you and below you, but you don't know what's on those floors because you've never been to those floors, right? It's that same kind of feeling. So here I am. I get to this place and I hear the most beautiful music, music you cannot make on the earth plane because I tried, I sat at our synthesizer for like a week trying to find one sound that was as beautiful as this music. And so I look, I'm wondering where this beautiful music is coming from. So I look to the right, and I see this little log cabin. I mean, I. It literally looks like a Swedish sauna. And I think it's so funny what we all experience and what we all see, but that's what I saw. So I see this little log cabin, and I'm thinking, the music must be coming from this cabin. So I open the door, I look inside, but it's empty. So I was like, wow, this is so strange. I look to my left, there is another log cabin, literally a mirror image of the one to my right. So I I open the door, I look inside, but it's empty. So then I become aware of this like the widest, brightest, purest light you can ever imagine that comes rolling in, almost like a fog that is, that is a light, right? It just comes rolling and it just envelopes you. But as I'm turning around into this light, there is an outline of angels, like so I see like the silhouette of angels in the light, and the music is coming from the angels. But at the same time as I'm having this experience, I'm also aware of, I don't believe in angels, but I am seeing angels. The music is coming from the angels, but this, but the light itself is whatever you want to call it. I like to call it source, because I don't like to put myself in any religion, because religions were reprinted text and what we decided what goes into this text. And when you do research on religions, you learn that, you know, there were, we used to worship goddesses, and in that, there's a lot of things that are not in the Bible, right So, and there's lots of things I'm sure that are not in other religious texts. So I like to call it source. It's the so you, you it's like I had this knowledge that I was with source, and this is who we are. We come from this source, but this light is just pure, unconditional love, and we are part of this light. We all carry this light within us. We have this light within us. We are this light. We belong to this light. And when we go back, when we pass on and we leave our physical body in this realm, we go back to that unconditional love and light. So as I'm enveloped by this light, I become aware of two, what I call spirit guides, or two entities. And the one on the right communicates with the other one that's kind of diagonally to the left in front of me. And he says, What is she doing here? She can't be here. She has to go back. And I'm saying, wait a second, how does this work? How can I be outside my body and still be me? Because I have spent, you know, two years now, trying to figure out how it works. How can how can you just leave your body and and still be you? Right? Because I always identified myself as me in my body, but me is me with my body and without my body. I'm still me when I'm outside my body. And the spirit guide on the left said, Well, if I told you, you wouldn't remember. So there's definitely some mechanism of letting us remember things, and letting and making sure we don't remember things. And then he said, but you will remember this. And then it's like, I'm standing on the moon looking down on the earth, but around the Earth is what I at the time called the silvery glittery fishnet because it was this diamond shaped, glittery, silvery fishnet that was surrounding the earth like with like little glittery points on it. And to me, it looked like a fishnet because I was raised, born and raised in Sweden, in Scandinavia, and I used to row this little rowboat for my grandmother when she laid the fishnets in the ocean to catch fish for the family to eat, and when she lifted out this fishnet in the early morning sun, you know, this diamond shaped nylon fish net would have these water droplets on it, and they would sparkle in that morning sunlight. So I'm looking down right? I'm seeing this image, and to me, it looks like a fishnet because we didn't have Google back then. We couldn't Google Now, you can Google grid around the Earth, and you're going to see images that look very similar to what I experienced. But we didn't have Google back then, so he said. So then the spirit guide says, everything on earth is connected to each other, and everything on earth is connected up to this grid. And with that message, I got sent back. So that has we can talk about this a little bit later, but that is what, literally, my work has become today, because I work a lot with ancestral healing and have that a deeper understanding of how we are all interconnected. So and then what followed was, you know, a lot of spiritual experiences where I would see the future before it happened. I had experienced remote viewing. It was just and I started here in the spirit world, and I got messages from the spirit world. So I don't know if you would, there's anything specific you want to go into. I had electrical interference my watch and stuff. There's just so many things that happened, and it literally took me, you know, 12 years of all these experiences, to really start understanding how interconnected we are with the spirit world and how we all have spirit guides. We all are spiritually guided. And I'm going to say some of us are on a spiritual path, right? So I'm kind of on this spiritual path. I know my incarnation, my numerology number is an 11, so I'm here as a Master Healer, and everything is in my astrological chart. So I can see now I can understand how we really do incarnate to have certain experiences in this life, but it's these two near death experiences that put me on the path of going to medical school and becoming a physician.
Jannecke Øinæs 30:56
Wow. Thank you for sharing in such detail. This is super fascinating. And where should I start right? I'm curious whether you've been thinking about, why was I an atheist? And then I have these two near death experiences, and then I get convinced, why not? Born sort of quite spiritually, a client, since that is your purpose, it seems like
Dr Lotte Valentin 31:23
so I am a born channel. I am a born medium, and that is in my numerology, in my astrology, and I've been told that by the teachers at Arthur Finley college, and I used to just not believe them, and I was, I would say, No, I was not born medium, and they would just be, uh huh, yeah, you are. And then I would start remembering, oh yeah. Now I remember. But the thing is, with the experiences that I had as a child, you know, I would see auras around people, and then you tell somebody, Oh, do you see the aura around that person? Can you see the orange and the red? And your friend says, What are you talking about? And you say, okay, they can't see it, so maybe you know you see, you start suppressing things. I remember telling my brother when I was maybe six years old, my I understand now that it was my grandfather, because my grandfather, my maternal grandfather, passed away when I was three, and I was about six, and I had three older brothers, so the one closest in age to me would have been 11 when I was six. And I said, Do you see the man? You see that man in the candle, in the flame? And I remember this so well. And I remember my brother staring into the flame, saying, What are you talking about? A man? Where is it? And I said, he belongs to grandma. It's a man that belongs to grandma, and he couldn't see it. And again. So, you know, these experiences, I'm starting to remember them. Telling my my best friend, do you see the energy field around the flowers? And she looks at it, and she says, and this is, you know, growing up in Sweden, she looks at the flowers on the table, and she says, What are you talking about? What energy field? What are you seeing? And the funny part is that she also became a medium, but we had very different experiences like her, her channeling is very different from mine. She actually became an amazing artist after all of that. But, you know, we have sometimes we come that way, but we we, we don't, we don't embrace it as children, because we push it down. We're told it doesn't exist. I had a very scientific father, so anytime I would speak about things like this, I'm sure it was just kind of oh and wild imagination, right? And I'm going to say that, you know, part of it, like you said, you know, why did I have that experience? But I think also having that experience also brings I can bring help to people that might have lost a loved one who wants me to do like a mediumship reading for them, I came from that I didn't believe in it myself, and so I understand when people say or have a hard time understanding, because if I hadn't had my own experiences, there is no way I would do the work I'm doing today. I had to have those experiences in order to put me on the path, in order to become the healer that I am today, in order to, you know, work as a medical intuitive, to be a medium, you know, working as an evidential medium, to work to resolve people's, you know, traumas or emotional issues through ancestral healing, because I wouldn't have been able to do the work I came to do if I didn't have those experiences. But I think, you know, we all everything is for a reason. It's what I've learned after all these years.
Jannecke Øinæs 34:35
Yeah, I believe so as well, that the universe or source is quite intelligent, and that almost nothing is a coincidence. I don't know if there are coincidences, but that's a huge question. What fascinated me was that you met these spirit guides, and the one was saying, What is she doing here? It almost seemed like there was a mistake. And that leads to my question, are there any mistakes in the universe?
Dr Lotte Valentin 35:05
No, I don't think there are any mistakes. Yeah, it's interesting. Like it was as if, you know, I got too far. It's almost like I always felt like I got to a higher level than I was supposed to, and I wasn't supposed to be there, and I got sent back, you know, rather quickly. You always wonder, you know, what is the meaning behind all of it? And why is it that, you know, you have those experiences? It is really interesting because it was, it was as if, how did she get here? You know, it's almost like they took, you know, to a certain extent. So it was like they took pity on me. Well, she's here, so I'm going to give her some information, right? But, you know, at the same time I was supposed to have that experience, but it was also like, Why? Why is she here? What's she doing here? She's not supposed to be here. She has to go back, right?
Jannecke Øinæs 35:53
You kind of bump. Bumped into some spirit there weren't your spirit guides like waiting for you.
Dr Lotte Valentin 35:59
No, I don't think that they were waiting for me. I don't think that they I have never felt that they're my Spirit Guides. It was almost like I went to this place, you know, and I got I went there. I know I got there too far, but then at the same time, that was the message I needed. So, yeah, it's kind of weird, right?
Jannecke Øinæs 36:20
Interesting. And you felt yourself as Lotte. You mentioned that several times, did you have a moment where you look down on yourself and saw the shape of how you looked like?
Dr Lotte Valentin 36:34
No, I never so, yeah. So some people, you know, they leave the body, they look down onto the body. I never, like, saw my body, at least, I don't have a memory of it. But the interesting part too is, like, when I worked with astrologers, they say, well, it actually looks like you had several more near death experiences, but you don't remember them, because there's something that they see in my chart. And I've had, you know, I had a lot of Kundalini for a long time, with a lot of energy going up my spine for years. And I still go through times when I when I have that, but every time I would go through these Kundalini awakenings, you know, I would, it's like you have better knowledge or more access to the spirit world. It's like, I call it the software upgrade. It's like, you have a software upgrade on your computer or your phone, and now you have a better version of the software. It's almost like that, because every time it's completely uncontrollable. I could be driving my kids to an after school activity, and I would have this, like, shooting energy going up my spine, and it's completely, you know, out of my control, because it just happened. It's not like I'm sitting in meditation or I'm trying to have an awakening. No, it's just random. But I also think that's part of, you know what? It's just part of my journey, what I was supposed to experience in this life, almost like it almost feels like they can't give you all the software upgrades at the same time because that would be too much for the body to handle. So it comes in software upgrades. Every so often you go through like another software upgrade.
Jannecke Øinæs 38:16
You felt yourself more like just a presence or a consciousness, like lot in Spirit did not have a body. Is that correct?
Dr Lotte Valentin 38:26
Yes, yes, there is no body attached. You're just in spirit form. And what is that? It's like an energy. I mean, it's like energy, right? So when you think
Jannecke Øinæs 38:42
The reason I'm asking is because I've been out of my body, but not I wouldn't call that a near death experience, because I was actually consciously astral projecting, and I felt that I had a spirit body where I could pull my fingers and they got long, and I have this elongated, blue kind of body, yeah. So I'm curious about, you know, the contrast between the two experiences,
Dr Lotte Valentin 39:10
yeah, yeah, that's interesting. So you had, like, an Ste or spiritually transformative experience. They're called stes when we're not close to death, but you know, there isn't that much of a difference, because a spiritually transformative experience can also change that person's life. Because it is like Gabor Mate says. If you're familiar with Gabor mates work, he's a physician. He's written several books. He is pretty famous, and he's always says it isn't what happens to you, it is what happens inside of you as a result of what happens to you, right? And it couldn't be more true for a near death experience or a spiritually transformative experience, especially near death experience, because something is happening to you. You're in a car accident, you're in the ER, there's something that's happening to you. You, right, but it's what happens inside of you afterwards as a result of that experience. How does that experience then transform your life, right? So it's like you're changing your view of the world completely. So I also had right? So all my watches stopped after I had this experience. So I would sit in a rocking chair, my watch stopped, and I would I couldn't even go to the store because I was too sick. So it took me six months until I finally made it to a store at target in the United States, and I the watches are right inside the door. So I got a watch, brought it home, wore it for less than a week, like five to seven days, and it stopped. I said, Oh no, it was so much work to get that watch because I was so sick. So I went back, returned it, and they said, Okay, well, pick out a new watch. Pick that same watch again. Wore it for five to seven days. It stopped. Went back to target. I was so embarrassed now, and I said, you know, it's got to be an issue with quality control, because I was a business major in computer science as an undergrad, and the women at the return counter just laughed and said, you know, we haven't had any other watches. Come back, but go pick out another watch. So I picked out a different watch, different brand. Go home, wear it for a week. It stops. So then I tell my best friend, and she goes, it's not the watches, it's you. Now I know that a lot of people that have these near death experiences, you know, have what's called like this electrical interference, and watches stopped. I couldn't turn on the VCR for my kids. I would have to instruct my six year old from the doorway, because if I try to turn it on, it wouldn't turn on. It wouldn't work. So any kind of electrical appliances, when I read stories to my kids at night, my my three and a half year old, four year old, would say, Mom, why is it that the light is always blinking when you read stories, but never when dad reads stories? And I would say, I don't know. It's gotta be some electrical issue with a with a wire. But you know, this went on for years, and it took me for every year that went by, my watch would take one month longer. So after one year, my watch lasted a month. After two years, my watch lasted two months. After three years, three months. It took me 12 years for my watch to take 12 months. And it was at this time that I said, Okay, that's it. I'm finally healed. I'd like my I've gotten my life back. And it really took that long. And now for 12 years, I'd been getting messages from the spirit world, and I was looking on the computer, and I said, Well, I have to find that, you know, going back to work, but I can't go back working as a programmer. I have to work in health, in healthcare something. And I found this naturopathic medical school. And I said, Wow, this is great, until I realized it was a medical school. I said, I can't go to medical school. I'm in my 40s. I have to take Chemistry, Organic Chemistry and Physics, and all the classes, I didn't have to even apply. And then there's no guarantee they're going to accept me, because I'm older. So I just closed my computer, and as I walked to the kitchen, the spirit world dropped in, and they said they gave me three messages, and they said you have to become a naturopathic physician, and you are to bring messages and healing to the people, and you have to write two books. No wait, three. And with that message, I literally enrolled in the prereqs within two weeks. And then in 2012 when I was 54 years old, I went to medical school and graduated in 2016 and then as soon as I graduated, I went to Arthur Findlay College to study mediumship, and then became an evidential psychic medium. But I had seen things, so it took me 12 years of having experiences of of trusting in the spirit world. So I would, you know, I would see an accident before we even had the accident. And I saw I woke up in the morning and there was, like, three slides. And one was a big black scratch on the van door of the car. Second image was my middle child in the front seat, my youngest child, my daughter, in the back seat. And then the third image was I was leaving a note on the windshield of a black sedan car. I said, it's so weird. Like, where are the people? Like, if you're in an accident, why am I not seeing the people or police or ambulance? Why am I just seeing a windshield of a black sedan car? So I tell these two kids, you guys are in the car. We're going to be in an accident. I saw the scratch. It looks like this. So for 10 days, we drive, and we figured out there was one intersection when we come into San Francisco, because we lived in California at the time, and we turn, we make a left turn, but that's the only place where we would have oncoming traffic. So every day we get to this intersection, and my kids are looking at the window, saying, coast is clear, Mom, no cars are coming. And then few days later, we try to we we're in Walnut Creek, which is in. East Bay, San Francisco, and we're trying to leave the bookstore, and I'm trying to get my car to squeeze on to this very narrow street, and there's lots of cars coming in, and there's a big truck offloading, you know, books for the bookstore. And as I'm making this right hand turn, my the right side of my car scrapes the car that's parked there, and it's a black sedan car, so I already know what that scratch is going to look like. So I get out of my car, I walk around the car, I look at the scratch, and I literally just throw my hands up to the sky and just laugh. And I remember these people looking at me thinking, I mean, this lady is cuckoo because she's just laughing. But I was so happy that finally this was over, because, you know, we've been doing this for, you know, almost two weeks now, and of course, here I am leaving, leaving a note with my information on the windshield, because the car was parked, and that's why nobody was hurt. But you know, I had so many of these experiences. So after 12 years of seeing the future and knowing things were going to happen to people, that's, you know, I learned to trust it. And I know, you know, would have messages about my nephew being sick, and I would call my sister in law, and I'd say, hey, you know, I keep getting gallbladder, liver, spleen. And she said, Oh, he just had his appendix out. And she he was in college, so she literally got back on an airplane that evening and flew back to where he was in college, and sure enough, back to the hospital, and he lost his gallbladder, and then a month later, he had another accident and lost his spleen. So like I would just hear, you know, gallbladder, liver, spleen, and so it's really interesting, because I had so many of these experiences I saw my dad. I knew my dad was passing away. I saw his coffin with a complete flower arrangement from an angle that I would sit later on in during the ceremony of his after his passing. So there was just so many of these experiences that after 12 years, I learned to trust it. But it wasn't until I got out of med school, when I studied mediumship at Arthur Findlay College, that I could control it for other people. So I would always get information. But you know, unless you're working as a medium, or you're working as like a Medical Medium, or medical intuitive, you know, when I work with people, I get an information about them. And sometimes, you know, people come on my screen and I already hear a diagnosis, this person has this. And then I'll say, you know, did anybody ever diagnose you with this? And they'll say, no, what is that? And I said, you know, these are the symptoms that go along with that disease. That's what I keep hearing. And sure enough, those are the symptoms. And sometimes I worked with a lady a few weeks ago, and she had a very rare, very rare disease, which is called Ehler danlos, vascular disease. There's many different forms of Ehler danlos. And I said, you know, this is what I keep hearing. I know we're talking about other things, but I keep hearing elidondo vascular. And I said, Have you had any of these issues? And I said, you know, I'm actually going to have to look up some of the symptoms, because I'm not terribly familiar with this, so let's look it up. And as I'm reading off the symptoms, she stares at me on the screen, and she says, I've had all of those. It's like crazy things like aortic dissection, I mean, just things that you will never see a patient during your whole career that has any of this. And she's and I said, Well, this is what I keep hearing. And she said, 20 years ago, this doctor told me that I have some kind of a vascular, connective tissue vascular disease. But he said, we don't know enough about those diseases yet, but someday somebody's going to diagnose you with that. And there it was. And so I said, then I was able to say, Okay, this is what you need to do. You need to get this test, ask the doctor to run this test for you, and then send her on that path. So it's really fascinating. You know, I've had a lot of patients with endometriosis and things like that as well, and literally, have sent people to surgery. Fascinating. Yeah,
Jannecke Øinæs 49:11
it's super fascinating. I'm just thinking, what a combination being a medical doctor and psychic. I mean, we should all have psychic doctors. I would love to ask, since you are having so much connection to the spirit world, so could you see any spirits in the room behind me right now? Is there any messages that are coming through? Or is this something you are turning off because you're focused on this interview? Or is it sort of constantly something coming in, and is it then very crowded at my place?
Dr Lotte Valentin 49:48
Yeah, so it When, when, when I'm working like this, I'm definitely turning it off, but and then you turn it on like you tune in. So when you're working mediumistically, right? You go into a different space, so to speak, yeah, like you send out the energy and you tune in. It's like you're having a telepathic conversation with the spirit world, right? Saying, Hey, who's out there? Who is this person's spirit guide? What's going on with this person? And you're turning that on because you're it's like you're raising your own frequency to connect up and out. And so, for example, when I work as an ancestral healer, we always end those sessions with a healing to resolve the ancestral patterns. But when I work, when I do that healing, I also work with the light beings. So I See the Light Beings.
Jannecke Øinæs 50:41
I just thought it was interesting for our audience to sort of see
Dr Lotte Valentin 50:44
yeah, and so, right. So when you tune in, so if I'm going to tune into you, let's see if I tune into you now.
Dr Lotte Valentin 51:00
Okay, so number one, I'm gonna say, Okay. So I see, I see the aura around you, so you have, I'm gonna say, okay. So you actually, you're quite tuned in. I get a lot of, actually, like white, and then you have, like dark blue, a little bit of, like purple, so you have, I'm gonna say you have, okay, what I'm getting? Okay, so with your spirit guides coming in, okay, so your spirit guide is, I call these them, the outer realm spirit guides. So I do sessions like this, spirit guide, spirit guide sessions. But you have a spirit guide that I'm gonna say, it borders on like an angel. So I call them the angelic spirit guides, and they sit on the on the rim between this, between the earthly realm and the spirit realm. So I'm going to say they bridge the two, the two realms. So there's something about you. I'm going to say you also have,
Jannecke Øinæs 52:03
I'm getting very dizzy.
Dr Lotte Valentin 52:04
I'm I'm getting, I'm getting you actually have, are you a natural? Are you in I don't know anything about you really. So are you a natural channel? Because I get that you have abilities to communicate with the spirit world or the angelic realm. But I get specifically angels with you, which is really interesting. There is a lot of angelic that your spirit guide is almost like a fairy Angel, kind of spirit guide, versus somebody, you know, who is more grounded in the earth, like a shaman from the jungle or, I mean, you can have a spirit guide like a warrior or a business person. It could be anything, but I'm gonna say your spirit guide is somebody who is connecting with the outer realm. So there's something in your life that you're here to bring that to other people and like working with I mean, it's kind of like what your podcast, in a sense, right? Bringing information to the people about that. But you're also here as a communicator. Are you a life path, three or life path? Yeah. Do you know what life path you are in numerology?
Jannecke Øinæs 53:13
No, I'm not that into that, or I don't have too much knowledge about,
Dr Lotte Valentin 53:17
yeah, like we all, you know, come with an incarnation of doing certain things, but I'm going to say you're here to communicate. You're here to guide other people, and you have a spirit guide that sits on the outer realm, or the outer cusp, like an angelic kind of spirit person. Well, that's nice, yeah. But, you know, sometimes there is interesting, because there are times when, like, the spirit world or other things show up right behind the person, without them, you know, asking for it, you're just having the conversation that does happen, right? Without you even tuning in, like, all of a sudden something is just there,
Jannecke Øinæs 53:54
right? So there's no, like, grandparents having a message for me the
Dr Lotte Valentin 54:01
right? Yeah, so that that would be a little bit different, because you, when you do a mediumship reading, right? You typically sit in meditation for a little bit. You call in the spirit world, and then you tune in to, um, to that, to that spirit person. But the the people that comes through from the spirit world isn't always the people that we want to talk to, though it tends to, they tend to always come through do when I do a mediumship, but it's not always the first person. So let's say you just lost your mom, and you have a mediumship reading, and you want to hear from your mom, but the first person that comes might be grandpa, then your aunt comes, and then your nephew comes, and then your mom comes. So sometimes it's like that, like other people come first, and it was also my own experience. When I was at Arthur family college, it wasn't any of my parents. It wasn't my mom or my dad that came first. It was my father in law, because the message that needed to be delivered was better heard for me, coming from my father in law. But. My own parents. So sometimes it's the spirit world is what they decide who is going to come through during that reading. But I'm going to say, I mean, I've always people, you know, I don't know who people want to talk to, but it always comes through. When you do a reading like that person will will eventually come through. It's almost like they line up on the other side right waiting.
Jannecke Øinæs 55:26
Are they with us all the time? Our loved ones?
Dr Lotte Valentin 55:29
No, then I'm going to say they come and go. So you know, if somebody has just passed, you might feel them around you a lot more, but I'm going to say they're busy on the other side. So I feel like it's more they come. They come and check on us, and they you know, there are times when we, all of a sudden, feel like we smell our mother's perfume, even though you're not wearing a perfume, but you can smell it. You have a sense that all of a sudden, you're driving your car to the grocery store, and you're like, somebody's in my back seat. Who is that? You look in the rear of your mirror and you know somebody's there, and you're like, Hey, is that you grandma? Right? You just get a sense that somebody is there. So that happens a lot, but definitely they're not around us all the time, except for maybe when they're when they just passed, you're going to have, you're going to feel them more. Yeah, it's amazing.
Jannecke Øinæs 56:21
I've heard that some spirits are lingering a while, like they want to watch their funeral, who are coming to the funeral, and then hopefully they're moving into the light. Is that your experience as well?
Dr Lotte Valentin 56:36
Yeah, I'm going to say that every funeral I've been to, the person has been there, and it I definitely agree with that, because I think they come in to just be present during the funeral, and I don't know, you know, maybe send us support that maybe we don't always pick up on, or we we think that, oh, we feel better now, you know, I let go of that, but maybe they're actually doing something on the other side that supports us during that difficult process, because it is difficult to lose loved ones.
Jannecke Øinæs 57:06
So when, when you're saying they're busy on the other side, busy doing what?
Dr Lotte Valentin 57:10
Yeah, so it's really funny, right? Because when my when my mom was alive, she used to say, you know, when I die, I'm not just going to sit around on a cloud, right? And then during a mediumship reading at Arthur Findlay College with one of my teachers, she said, Oh, you know, it's your mom. She's here, and your mom says she's not just sitting around on a cloud. And these are the things right that typically come through. And it happens for for me too, when I do mediumship readings, it's just amazing. The things that come through. I mean, there are times when you think that, you know, should I really say this? Because this seems so crazy, but you know, it's going to make sense to the person, right? So all of a sudden you'll say, okay, so, you know, this is your husband, and I see a lot of pineapples. He can keep seeing He keeps showing me Hawaii and pineapples and, you know, but before, he was talking about something completely different, and then the person says, Oh yeah, we had our honeymoon in Hawaii, and everything was pineapples. So it makes sense to the person, right? But it doesn't make sense to you delivering the message, because you're thinking, why are we switching now all of a sudden, talking about pineapples in Hawaii, when we were talking about how, you know, he was sick and he couldn't walk, and so he needed help walking. But now we're talking about pineapples in Hawaii, or we're talking about dolphins and sailing, and it's just, you know, it just moves from one thing to another. And I did a reading for somebody not long ago, and I said, Oh, you're having a really difficult time, um, with different things, there's a lot of emotions going on, and you have a difficult time expressing your emotions, because your grandfather says he had a difficult time expressing emotions, but he says you are like him in that way. And there's something that's really bothering you now, and but now he's showing me a drawing, and he's showing me a drawing of an eye, and but the eye has a tear from it, but I know that's your tear, and it's your eye. In this drawing, the client takes a paper, she holds it up. The drawing of the eye was right in front of her. She had just drawn it on the paper. So, I mean, it's just like when you do mediumship readings like that, you can't make it up, right? Because it's so spot on, and it's so, you know, there are times like I said, you know, you think that maybe, is this my brain, right? That's what you think at the beginning. But now, after doing this for many years, I know it doesn't matter how crazy the message might sound, because there's something to it. There's something about this person needing to know that, right? And like I did a reading last week where I kept saying, okay, so this person, you know, she died, she you know she was this kind of person. She was very happy. Nothing was impossible for her. And she says, if your house burns to the ground, you just start again. And there's something about you. You in your life now that you need to start again, because this is what she's talking about. And they look at me and they go, yeah, that's my aunt, and her house did burn to the ground, and she did start over. So I'm saying like the things that they show you is very spot on to what happened to them, but it always ties back into that person's life. So the message comes through, and they're saying, Hey, you can do this. You can start anew. I did it. You can too. I know it's difficult right now, but it's very like the spirit world is so supportive of us, and they, they, they really is. They are our cheerleading committee out there, and they cheer us on and and help us get through things, but sometimes we don't even realize it, right? We if we don't do a mediumship reading, how would we know? But you know, they are there, and they might not be around you all the time, except for, you know, sometimes they might be around you because that's, you know, they come and go, right? And it's fascinating. It's absolutely fascinating, the things that come, that come through,
Jannecke Øinæs 1:01:03
yeah, and it's maybe hard to answer what they're doing in the afterlife, because, I mean, they, they might be splitting up in all kinds of different consciousnesses, as a butterfly here, as a Pleiadian there, who knows? Right? Maybe some of them are incarnated, and the part of them is on the other side. And if we talk about multi dimensionality, and there is no time, there could be anywhere and everywhere at once, I guess. But I do like the thought that I would meet my loved ones and my grandparents and my aunts again, in sort of their personality, that would be nice to recognize my grandfather, especially, Hey, Oh, it's you. You know, I recognize you. But I don't know if that's the case or if he has sort of evolved into something else. I don't know if you have any thoughts about that,
Dr Lotte Valentin 1:02:02
well, I think that we I think we incarnate as soul families. I think that the people in our lives have been in our lives many times before, not all of them, but some people. And I know that people have also told me that about people who are in my life, and my children, you know who has been in my life before with me in a past lifetime. So I do absolutely believe that, and I also have memories from past lives that I've seen. I know that I lived in the 1600s I was a boy in Thailand. I was the son that was this sounds kind of funny. I was the son of a king in Thailand, in ayatoya, Thailand, and it was during a mediumship, medium, what am I saying? A meditation, meditation, that I saw like this row of Buddha statues. And I said, Okay, wow, that's so weird. Why am I seeing a row of Buddha statues? I wonder where this is, or if it even exists, and I just kind of wrote it down on my phone, and then, literally, so I was in residency, so I was super busy, and basically you're just in clinic or prepping for your patients the next day, or sleeping. It's like you're very, very busy. So I just wrote it down. So whenever I have these experiences, I just write them down. So I know that did happen, because I'm very scientific that way. And then a year went by, and I looked on my notes and I said, Wow, that's really interesting. I wonder where that is. So I set the intention going into a meditation. Please show me more about that. And I saw this large Buddha statue, a big, huge, Golden Buddha statue like this thing is huge, and behind it was these glass windows, almost like mosaic colored. And I was like, Where could there be a large Buddha statue that literally looks like European church glass windows behind it? And then I saw the room, but there was a lot of tourists in this room, and that was a friend of mine was, was in part of the tourist group, and then there was this other room that had all these like crystals and chandeliers and glass. And I said, Wow, this is wondering where this is. So I got out of the got out of the meditation, and then asked my daughter and her boyfriend is a Buddhist. I said, Hey, do you know where this you know, is there a place like this? And he's like, I have no idea. So we started googling images, and sure enough, the image of the Buddha statue comes up, and it's in a place in Thailand. Well, it turns out that there's this kind of Crystal Palace, and it's still standing today, which is why I saw present day people, like a friend, part of a tourist group. But the reason this gold, huge, Golden Buddha statue, and why I saw the glass behind it, is because the whole, the whole palace, is built of glass. So it's like a Glass Palace, and that's why I saw all the glass in the other room. So then as but then I went back and again to the meditation, and I. Said, Okay, show me more. And then the next day, next day, I see I'm standing as a 10 year old boy. I'm standing on this river. But the first, the first time I had this meditation, when I saw the royal Buddha statues, I also saw myself as a 10 year old boy that was sent to live with the monks. But then, because my parents had died, and I didn't know why they had died, but then I also knew that they had killed me later on, or that I was killed not by the monks, but by somebody else. And I was killed when I was just a little boy. So that was also part of the first one. So now I go back and I'm standing by a river as this 10 year old boy. I can see the kind of red bricks that there is this, you know, town, for lack of a better world, that where we all lived, and that was a river. But on this river that was a boat, but off the boat came people that were dressed in European clothing. So nothing made sense to me, like, where is there a river somewhere in Asia, where Europeans dressed in European clothing, from, you know, this time period 16th, you know, in the 1600s so I start Googling, because now I'm really fascinated, like, why am I seeing it? And Does it even exist? So then I found, every time I Googled, I would end up on a website about Thailand, but then it would give me all these security warnings saying, back out security, you know, breach. So I went to Amazon, and I looked on Amazon, because now I knew it was called ayatoya. Finding any, any books on on ayatoya, one book came up, and it was called the The Lord of the Golden tower is what the book was called. And it was sold, and it was written in the 1970s sold out of a Goodwill store somewhere in middle America. It took me like two weeks to even get the book in the book there is the whole story of the 10 year old boy that became that was the son of the king, and that there was a commoner King Prasad, who had killed, who killed his father and his mother and took over the ruling as the king. But then the boy got to rule as a king for like, like, 30 days or something. And then this king, Prasad said, Oh, this young boy is not fit to rule as a king. And so he had the king. They had the boy killed as well. But when he killed the parents, the king and the boy's mother, the little boy was sent to live with the monks and and guess what? The all the role with the Buddha statues are in the book. The the river is in the book. The reason that ayatoya was so successful back in the 16th century was because it was the it was situated off this river. And there were trades people coming from Europe with goods to sell in, right, and trading goods. And that's I know, and it's all in the book, right? So, yeah, so it's crazy, how? But we all have this capacity, right? So when you have a crazy meditation or a crazy dream, look it up. Look it up, because maybe there is a message coming from the other side. And I say, Well, why did I need to know that? And I think the reason I needed to know it is because to teach other people, because I'm here as a teacher and a healer, and so I'm teaching other people that we are so interconnected to the spirit world and to who we are. We are spiritual beatings in a physical body, right? And the same thing when with my ancestral healing, I was guided to ancestral healing when doing mediumship readings, and I would get the pattern of the abusive grandfather had four readings in a row that were the same of the abusive grandfather who abused the grandmother, and then the daughter would marry the same person, an abusive father, which would be The clients, and I did that four times in a row, and I started thinking, Am I talking to the same spirit as I talked to yesterday? But they were all separate, the same, the same pattern. And it made me understand how the patterns are passed down. And that's what led me to ancestral healing. And now, you know, I teach, you know ancestral healing. And I also have a course called the mother wound, which is the most common wound that we have because we we align or merge and repeat things from our mother, whether we like it or not, and even if you think you had the best mother in the world, like I thought, I still had a mother wound, because we came to this planet to learn something. You're not going to have a mother that didn't that wasn't here to teach you something. So when we have a mother that is abusive in some way, or we know we have a mother wound, because mom just couldn't be there for us. But when we have a mom that was really nice and loving and nurturing. We don't really see the mother wound the same way. It's kind of, I say it's hidden under the surface, and it made us this very often, very nice people pleasing kind of person, taking care of everybody else, because that's what mom did. But then that leads to those types of Mother wounds. Where we often don't feel seen, we don't feel heard, you know, we feel like we're doing everything for everybody else. So that course is actually on my website. So if you go to my website, you just go to school of divine spiritual essence, and it's a self study course. So it's great because people can do it at their own pace.
Jannecke Øinæs 1:10:19
I'll drop a link below. It sounds really interesting, and you're pointing out, you know, you might feel like I have the best mother, but it's still always something there to learn, and that can explain a lot about yourself. So sounds like a really interesting course. I would love to take it actually, um, what is the sort of the main message from the spirit world that you would like to share with our audience today.
Dr Lotte Valentin 1:10:46
Oh, I'm gonna say the main message is the message that I got from the spirit world, or my second nd, and that is that we are all connected. We are all one, and we are all divine, and so are, you know, all the all of you listening, you are divine, spiritual beings, and we're all connected. And everything that you do say and think matters, because there's that interconnectivity, and I talk a lot about it in my mother wound course, how we are interconnected. We are connected via DNA. We are connected via quantum physics. And we are connected based on our own experiences. And it's that interconnectedness of the mind, body, spirit that you have. In order to resolve your issues, you have to see it. You have to create that, what I call the aha moment. You have to understand why it is you have feelings, certain feelings about things. Why is it that I can't get the promotion at work? Why is it that I don't have confidence? Why is it that I feel like nobody sees me or hears me or appreciates me, right? All those things are interconnected to where you came from via DNA, quantum physics and your own lived experiences. And it's fascinating. I mean, we could do a whole other episode on ancestral healing, but we get, you know, we can see the patterns being passed down and and why it is that we have we struggle with certain things. And so that's what I help people resolve in that course. And we always start with the mother. There'll be more courses coming going beyond the mother wound, because we can take on issues from anybody in the family, but when you resolve issues, you always begin with mother and so that is why I recorded that one first, to get people started resolving the mother wound, because once you resolve that, then a lot of things open up, and now you're ready to resolve the other issues that may come from further up the line.
Jannecke Øinæs 1:12:44
That makes sense. Maybe we'll need to do another episode. We are going to do one in Norwegian so we can start with that, and then we'll do another English one. This has been incredibly interesting. Thank you so much for sharing. And I have a few questions I ask everybody. And my my first question is, what is self love to you? Lotte,
Dr Lotte Valentin 1:13:06
oh, self love is to accept who you are, no matter, no matter what you think you are. A beautiful spirit. You know the way you are you came. You know, if you're putting yourself down and have negative self talk, that's what you're learning to let go of, right? It's we are all perfect spiritual beings and just accepting all, all the things, everything that's that's right and wrong with yourself that you think, that's just what you think, right? It's a self acceptance. I have my ear. My left ear sticks out a little bit right. When I was little. When I was 12, I used to tape my ear. I used to tape it. I begged my father and my mom and dad to can you just do surgery so my so my ear doesn't stick out so much, right? And my mom would always say, that's that's how you were made. They know it's beautiful to have that ear. Took me literally into my 50s to accept my ear, right? But finally, once you accept yourself as you are, and it doesn't matter, those are things that we have when we don't accept ourselves or love ourselves, that's, I'm going to say, social conditioning. It comes from, you know, our environment. We're told to look a certain way, be a certain way, but once we have the ability to let go of all of that and heal ourselves, starting with the mother wound, right, we can learn to accept ourselves and love ourselves for who we truly are.
Jannecke Øinæs 1:14:32
I just have to add, I always wanted these big ears, because then I would look like an elf, and I wanted to be like an elf. I wanted that. I wanted those words, what is the deeper meaning of life from your perspective?
Dr Lotte Valentin 1:14:48
Oh, the deeper meaning of life is to have an experience. This is to have an experience and bring it back to source. Because in the end, we're all. One, and we're all connected, and we're all part of source. And so as we have experiences and learn and grow, we go back to source, bringing these experiences, which then expands source itself.
Jannecke Øinæs 1:15:13
