Every year, Isabeau Maxwell gathers her community in October to connect with loved ones on the other side. This year, she says, something is different. The veil is not only thinner than in previous years, but it will also stay that way as we move forward. In her second conversation with Jannecke, the psychic medium shares why the thinning of the veil happens, what makes this October stand out, and how you can use it to reach the people you have lost. (On October 31st, she is hosting a special three-hour live workshop designed to help you connect with loved ones in Spirit*).

Why the Veil Is Thin in October

Isabeau does not have a mystical explanation. The veil is thin in October because for thousands of years humanity has collectively decided that it is, and when everyone makes that decision, it becomes true. Hundreds of years ago it was a time of honouring, a sacred time between the worlds. Over time, it has become part of the Earth experience itself.

Not Spooky, but Sacred

Many connect this time of year with Halloween and ghosts. Isabeau sees it differently. The thinning of the veil is your soul group on Earth and your soul group on the other side becoming more connected and easier to reach as one group. She compares it to going back to your family’s house, sitting down in the living room and talking with them again.

Why It Is Stronger This Year

When Isabeau asked her guide why this year feels so much stronger, the answer was tied to the larger shift she sees in humanity, a move from the “I” to the “we”, from isolation to community. When connection becomes the direction we are moving in, reaching loved ones on the other side becomes easier too. She expects far more people to have mediumship experiences over the next two years, and the veil to keep thinning each year after that.

How to Connect With Your Loved Ones

You do not need to be a medium to take part. According to Isabeau, intention itself is magnetic. Setting an intention in October is a good start, but she recommends going further and making it a weekly routine: talk to your loved ones, and talk about them. As she puts it, “who you think about and you talk about, you bring about.”

For those who want guidance, Isabeau is hosting a special three-hour live workshop on October 31 designed to help you connect with loved ones in Spirit through guided teachings, meditation, and mediumship practices. Learn how to create a safe, personal connection experience, gain tools you can continue using afterward, and receive a guided meditation to support future connections.

Transcript of the interview

Isabeau Maxwell 0:00

I know there's alien influence on the planet, but I know a lot of it is really good and very powerful.

Jannecke Øinæs 0:07

Many of us are thinking about disclosure every day now, and I know you also had an experience with a creature, and I think it was Costa Rica that blew your mind.

Isabeau Maxwell 0:18

I had a couple. I was laying in the bed nearest the window, and there's no other way to say it other than a giant lizard came in the wall in front of my bed and was moving toward my son's bed. And the instinct was stay away from my son. There are so many possibilities in one lifetime. If we have all of those parallel dimensions that exist, somebody absolutely could be able to go back and forth in one conscious line or in a completely different one.

Jannecke Øinæs 0:53

In the most literal sense that I could possibly go back to the 1930s.

Isabeau Maxwell 1:00

Yeah, the veil is thin because for 1000s of years it was decided as a collective that it was, and when you have everybody making that decision, then it is.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:13

What are your predictions or thoughts about the energies coming for humanity?

Isabeau Maxwell 1:18

I would say that.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:26

Hey, I have a favour to ask you. If you appreciate these conversations, then thank you so much for subscribing to my channel. Isabeau Maxwell, welcome back to the Wisdom From North show.

Isabeau Maxwell 1:38

Thank you for having me.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:40

It's lovely having you back. I felt our previous conversation was really well received, and I wanted to have you back to dive even deeper, because you went from being a sceptic to a psychic medium, and for 20 years you have helped people develop their intuition. You have your own method, the Sage Method. You're an author, and you're quite the expert of helping people cross over, and we'll get into that. Now, my first question to you is: Having worked as a psychic medium for now 20 years, and also sort of peeked into the other side and the in between lives, what has it taught you about the nature of reality?

Isabeau Maxwell 2:21

A lot. The nature of reality is striking to me. I find that when people go through a spiritual awakening or they dive deeper on their path, much the same way that it happened for me, there's moments of, you know, uncertainty. What is this? So you're saying that there's more to this place that Earth, and so that can bring up for me. It brought up some, you know, uncomfortable moments of I was so secure in how everything went, but then the further you get and the more you learn and understand, the more deep it gets, and the more beautiful it gets, and then you really see the connection between you and the people in your soul group, and this experience that you're having here together, and how powerful that is, and how it's not random, and you know you're so connected. So I think that that's. I see a lot of people going through that phase myself as well. Of I don't understand what you mean, and then the further you go, the more you're like, this is really special. This is really special. Whatever, whatever we're in here, because there's a lot of different words for it, right? The code, the matrix, you know, the experience, and it's really, really special. The reality.

Jannecke Øinæs 3:44

And from my what I understand, you say that we are born not alone. We're never alone when we're born, and we're never alone when we die. Who is coming with us?

Isabeau Maxwell 3:56

Well, it's impossible to be born alone, right? Because somebody's there with you, bringing you into the world. Which that alone is some of the most magical truths in in this world. But the death part, the death part, we can get caught up on if somebody passes and there's nobody around. So we go deeper into this to look at it in a spiritual way, we're guided in, we're we're birthed in into the world, but we're also guided out. So people are never alone. When people are in hospice and they'll talk to family members that are on the other side already, and the living people in the room are like, "Oh boy, she's because my grandmother would talk to her sister. I remember in hospice, and I thought, "Well, that that can't be real. But there's so many experiences of it of being sort of in between worlds, and your transfer. There's always somebody there to meet you. It's why we hear so many beautiful. Stories of hands being held out and saying, "Hey, I've got you. You're okay. Even in the near-death experiences, we hear a lot of stories of that connectedness between the hands. So whether it's a quick passing or hospice sort of passing, we have people here, but we have people there as well, so nobody dies alone, which I think is really quite significant.

Jannecke Øinæs 5:26

Oh, for sure. And is this something you see with your abilities when a person leaves their body? Do you see the whole process, or how do you perceive and help people cross over?

Isabeau Maxwell 5:37

I've worked with people who are in hospice situations, and they're trying to figure it out, and they're asking questions. Really beautiful families that come together around this to provide their family member anything they need. And in that situation, for me, I remember sitting with a woman once named Carol, and it was amazing because her physical body was there, and there was a moment a couple days before she passed where she was talking to me, but the physical body wasn't moving. And I remember this was one of the first people that I had sat with in hospice, and I remember thinking, "Am I talking to your spirit? And I know that's such a simple question. Like I know that's such a, but I was really new and I was trying to figure everything out, and I said, you know, am I, am I talking to your spirit? And she was like, of course, of course you are. So it's it's this transition between the physical and the non-physical realms, and many times a person will toggle between the two, and so somebody can still be here, but can communicate with a medium in a very spiritual way, like a medium would pick up on any spirit.

Jannecke Øinæs 6:53

And are they aware that they can toggle between the realms? Like, if they would open their eyes, could they say to those being in 3d world, like hey, I was just on the other side. I just experienced this, or is it on another level that it is a soul part of you that is sort of going back and forth?

Isabeau Maxwell 7:13

Now I've seen both situations, so I think in that answer it would be that all things are possible. But many times I see somebody who, in the hospice process, are struggling to discern between the living family member and the deceased family member that's standing in their room in spirit form. Not not discern who they are, but that there's a difference between the two. So I feel that they start to see people on that soul level instead of the physical level. So as they're kind of transitioning in between the physical and the non-physical, I think they start to let go. And this is some of the conversations I've had with other teachers too. I think they start to let go of looking at you in the solid, but instead looking at you as the soul that they're connected to. So I find that fascinating. And then I also have had I had an incredible experience at a campground of all places years back, and the camper across the street was a lovely couple, older gentleman and a woman, and she was terminally ill, and she had dementia. And he was taking her all over the country. He's like, "This is this is her wish. We can still do it. So it's a beautiful thing. Well, one of the days that we were there, he came out and said, "She's gone. She's wandered off. And everyone rallied. Everybody rallied, and I said, "I'll stay here in case she comes back. So everyone's, you know, searching through the campground for it, and she came back, and she sat down and she looked at me and she said, "You see it, don't you? And I said, "And I, it's like I knew what she meant, but that human component was like, is this? Is she really asking that? I said, and I, I said, yeah, I do. She said, it's so beautiful, isn't it? And she said something along the lines of, "That's where I'm going, and I was like, "It is so beautiful, and I was struck because here's a woman that knows exactly what's going on and is navigating it with this just incredible spirit freedom. It's it was powerful,

Jannecke Øinæs 9:28

beautiful story. And speaking of dementia and people who, when they become older, have Alzheimer and they you know forget everything. They maybe forget their family members, I find that really challenging, and a lot of people are going through that. It's interesting because my experience is that right before they die, and also people without dementia, for instance, have these clear moments. Have you noticed that? Well, what is that about? All of a sudden, they don't have dementia. Anymore, they remember.

Isabeau Maxwell 10:02

Yeah, they rally. They rally. It's as if they pull back into the body to just have that experience one more time. So they might want to take a bite of food, or they might want to have a drink of water. Certainly, want to communicate with the people around them. It's this. It's it's almost like a send off moment of one last breath of what it was to exist in this reality with you. I think it's absolutely powerful and beautiful.

Jannecke Øinæs 10:37

Wow! Yeah, it is, and yeah, it's something that I've just experienced that my husband's mother was passing away, and she became so clear all of a sudden. I was thinking, now she's going to leave. Yeah,

Isabeau Maxwell 10:51

yeah,

Isabeau Maxwell 10:52

it's a beautiful moment too. What a gift to everybody in that moment. Yeah, it's really powerful. I'm glad you had that moment. Not glad that it involved a hospice situation, you know. Condolence.

Jannecke Øinæs 11:04

She was old. Thank you. So we hear about ghosts, and we hear about the in between and people who are lingering. What is your perspective on that? Could we be? What if a person out there is afraid of becoming a ghost, like not finding that tunnel of light or that light on the other side.

Isabeau Maxwell 11:27

I I totally understand that. I completely understand that. I've been doing crossing over work for 1819, years, something of that length, and the crossing over process itself is incredibly beautiful, and it's automatic, and you're very safe, and you're very loved. I do like to categorise and say like spirit is the person spirit, and you know when people talk about ghosts, I like to say you know ghosts are people too. They're just struggling with that transition process a little bit, and when we pass, we might release the physical body, but who we were in this earthbound existence and our spirit together step into the transition. And again, the near-death experience. If you listen to the different stories, you'll hear that same thing about this automatic pull. And I talk about it like it's a people mover, like in the airport, where you like get into the next gate, and unless somebody purposely pauses on that people mover, like digs their heels into the side and says, "Hold on, you're going to automatically go through the transition and cross over. And the further you go, the less you stay connected to that specific lifetime, and the more you reconnect to your higher self, we never forget the lifetime, and that is ours to hold for eternity. But the closer you get to the other side, the more it just feels right, and it feels like home. So somebody that gets stuck in the in between, and stuck is a word that I try not to use too much because there's like fear in it. Like, am I going to get stuck? It's more like pausing. It's more like pausing. We have an entire lifetime to review, and the review process is quite stunning because every experience that we've had here on this planet, explained to me by my guide, this review process that I'm explaining. Every moment that we had, we review again, but from multiple perspectives of everybody that was involved. So we relive it ourselves. We relive it as the person that it happened to. We relive it in the ripple effect. So this is what I find is powerful: is that all the good things that people do in this world. Because yes, we can talk about the negative, and that's going to be a difficult transition process. I agree with that. But think of all of the people that you've affected in a positive way, even with this show, think of all of the ripple effect. You get to know that, you get to experience that. Not that you need any sort of none of us need any sort of value, but how beautiful to see how interconnected goodness can can thrive. And so you go through this process, go through the transition process, and review everything. And when you've reviewed the lifetime, then you can cross over and reconnect with the higher self. So, automatic, straightforward. If somebody's pausing, they're pausing because they're concerned about something, or they're thinking about something, or they might have a fear of something. And for somebody that does crossing over work, our job is to simply show up for them because remember, nobody nobody passes alone, and there are always people there as well. But maybe they're not aware of them from the other side, like guides and loved ones coming from the other side. But a person might pause enough to sort of block all that out, and somebody doing crossing over work simply says, "I'm here, and you're not alone." And that typically helps somebody to move along and cross over.

Jannecke Øinæs 15:05

And isn't it so that they have maybe unfinished business and perhaps they don't even know that they have passed? I find that so peculiar that they're like, "Am I still dead? Am I not dead? You you would assume that it just feels different when nobody's speaking to you, and I don't know. I couldn't imagine how it's like being a spirit.

Isabeau Maxwell 15:27

I I'll tell you of all the years that I've done crossing over work, and so I've done a lot of it. I've only seen somebody unaware that they're deceased maybe a couple of times, and the one that I remember specifically, she was young. She was driving to college, and she was on some sort of a drug, acid, something like that. And she thought she was still on a bad trip. Like she thought she was having a bad trip. And so those types of things are really rare. But yeah, I mean they can happen because there can be a little bit of confusion in there. Most of the fear is typically around what we were told to believe, or typically punishment type concepts. And when they start to feel, when they get closer and closer to the other side, they start to feel that's not really the way everything's built, and that it's solidly unconditional love that they're returning to, and that's magnetic.

Jannecke Øinæs 16:33

And maybe it's because it feels very similar. I'm curious about this in between life thing, how it looks like to me. I've heard that the astral realm, like there are several dimensions, and that it's the first realm you come to is very similar, like this Earth, this planet. And I'm saying that because I've been out of my body, and and things were so similar, but they were more things. There were more things to discover than I see around me now, but it was very similar. And I'm sometimes wondering if I was there, like in the in between, if that's the same as the astral realm. So, what would you say to that souls who are lingering, the place they they are? How does it look like?

Isabeau Maxwell 17:21

Absolutely, I completely would agree, and that lines up very strongly, actually, because immediately after leaving, in the we'll say it this way, in the beginning of the transition process, there's still a very strong link to the earthbound experience. So there's more awareness of time. There's more awareness of space and location. Where am I? Who am I interacting with? The further somebody goes in that transition, the more they disconnect from the physical realms, and the more they're connected to the energy coming from the other side, but yes, those first stages-it's like a-it's like a gentle decompression chamber to kind of to help you get out of that and into that. So, in the beginning of the transition process, as you're reviewing certain things, it's going to feel very lifelike. It's going to feel very much like if I reviewed this conversation that you and I were having right away post passing, it would feel very similar to this. Whereas the further you get to right before you cross over, it's much more about the energetic experience between two people. So yeah, I can see how that lines up with with astral travel for sure.

Jannecke Øinæs 18:42

Interesting. I want to dive into time because you said that you still have a sense of time, and the further you go away or into the other side, you you yeah, it works differently. Yeah, and I've heard you say that the the higher self is hungry for linear experiences, and I found that very fascinating. So, talk to me about that.

Isabeau Maxwell 19:07

Well, the way that I explain it to students is the higher self is like a ball of light, and it will take a speck of that light out, send it down to Earth, throw it into a body. It runs around for a lifetime, and it comes right on back. From the perspective of your higher self, that happens in an instant. So they're not waiting for 98 years for somebody to come back. It's an instantaneous thing. The 98 years is what we experience in the body, and for the for the higher self to collect these experiences, what they're asking for is they're asking for well, we as our higher self is asking for what does it feel like to have this experience or this moment or this emotion, which is typically the case. What does it feel like to have this emotion spread out over time? You know the higher self doesn't feel anxiety because we need we need Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday to have anxiety, right? The higher self doesn't process like oh I'm gonna stew over what happened two months ago because it's much more of an instantaneous experience, and having experiences and emotional experiences, especially on linear time, those are the desires, and probably shouldn't have started off with anxiety because there's a lot more that are very powerful, that are very positive and very loving. You know, what is it like to fall in love? We understand the deepest love connection, but what is it like to fall in love? All of those experiences are what we're really hungry for for our higher self.

Jannecke Øinæs 20:53

And when there is no time for the higher self, and the spark of light is going down to down to an incarnation. Can they also reincarnate in the past?

Isabeau Maxwell 21:08

Oh yes, yes. So all lives are happening at the same time, but I mean, there's still something to be learned from reincarnation. Now I'm living right here, right now, but there's another speck of my higher self that's living 1000 years ago, and there's another speck of my higher self that's living 200 years into the future. There's another speck of myself living on another planet. So where it lands, think of it as like a big game of life, and you have a whole bunch of players, and they're all in different parts of it, in different areas, in different locations, and all of our experiences are going to have the same pattern. Meaning, the life that was 1000 years ago, the one that's 200 years from now, they're going to have the same lifetime pattern in general, which is why past life regressions still work. We still get really valuable information because you'll do a past life regression, and even though our mind says, "Well, that was 1000 years ago, it's happening now, and you're kind of parallel, both going through very similar patterns, and we can still learn from that. So reincarnation is a really powerful tool to hold on to. But when we talk about it in the viewpoint of the other side, it becomes something that's all happening at the same time.

Jannecke Øinæs 22:35

Now that is fascinating, and I cannot understand it with my mind. Now I'm watching Outlander, and I just love that series. I just finished it and I started all over again and I can't get enough of it. Have you watched it?

Isabeau Maxwell 22:49

Not yet, but it's on my list.

Jannecke Øinæs 22:52

So she's travelling back and forth in time, and I yeah I get curious. Do you think it's possible?

Isabeau Maxwell 22:59

Oh, absolutely, absolutely. So the way that it, so I learned from my guides. That was my main source of understanding how all of this works. And the way that it was explained to me is that you have one. So one lifetime. So won't talk about multiple. We'll just talk about one singular lifetime. Very big decisions through that lifetime causes split in the path. So where your conscious self is is staying, which way it goes, is how we get here right now, talking to each other in today. So all the big decisions, there's still an element of me that didn't do this and didn't do that, but instead I did this. So there are so many possibilities in one lifetime, and if somebody was able to-and I don't even want to say if-I know somebody out there can do this. Somebody can navigate between those other choices. Those could be avenues for being able to travel through time. Now, beyond that, you would be able to do this in other realms as well. In other so, if we think of these as parallel universes that are created as a matter of decisions, not only individually, but group-wise, for the highest good of all. So, global decisions also that we're all making together. If we have all of those parallel dimensions that exist, somebody absolutely could be able to go back and forth in one conscious line or in a completely different one.

Jannecke Øinæs 24:40

In the most literal sense, that I could possibly go back to the 1930 s.

Isabeau Maxwell 24:47

Yeah. Yes,

Jannecke Øinæs 24:50

and would I need a portal for that?

Isabeau Maxwell 24:54

That's a that's a really good question. I want to say yes right out of the gate. But I would wouldn't want to limit us to what we think that would look like. That's I think what I want to say, because a very heightened meditative state practice for an extended period of time could also get you there. That in essence is a portal. That is, you know, a way that you're travelling to it, but I just wouldn't want to limit us to only looking for that portal.

Jannecke Øinæs 25:32

Yeah, I'm asking because she was going through some stones, and who knows, you know, the pyramids and Stonehenge and these using those as a portal.

Isabeau Maxwell 25:40

That's perfect. Yeah, I just I love to expand the idea of things like scrying or channelling is one. I like to expand the idea of channelling. There's a lot of different ways to channel, and there's a lot of different ways to use portals. And when we stay open to that, then she's going into the rocks, and that's powerful.

Jannecke Øinæs 26:03

What is like the wildest experience you've had with spirit? I mean, I know you're coming from a sceptic background, and it must just turned around your view on reality completely.

Isabeau Maxwell 26:18

Yeah, yeah, yeah. 20 years ago, solid sceptic, complete. I was a math major in college. I have a degree in mathematics. I just didn't. I wasn't on board with any of this. None of this was real. My grandmother passed. She showed up in my living room within moments in the middle of the day, right in front of me, of her passing, and I spent the next couple of months trying to figure out if this was real. Well, for a sceptic, the more proof that comes in, the more I, for me, I can say the more discomfort came in. So, what do you mean? Like I trusted that the solid was the solid. Now, what is not in the solid, and so then you just you you keep going on this journey for a while, and you do have really strange experiences, and you think, what else is there? I think that's what I I got so excited about is when you have a really powerful experience, then what else is like what else is possible? There's so much that's possible, and I think that that's what my journey has brought me to. But the, I mean, some of the most incredible experiences I have had the same woman, Carol, that I was working with and and talking to. I remember, I believe it was the day before she passed. I'm not sure, but I believe it was the day before she passed. This was a long time ago. They lived in woods, and I left the house and I walked outside. And mind you, I was maybe a year into opening up spiritually, so I was very new to experiences. And they had this small pond, and I remember, like this light of some sort, huge, like the size of a cloud, showed up over the pond, and it was unlike anything I had ever seen. It didn't have form like a ship or something like that. It wasn't. It was just this anomaly where you look at it and you're like, "That's not what the sky looks like. That's really odd, and it was very bright, very strong, and all of a sudden, I I kind of energetically leaned into it, and I don't even know how I knew that it was her, and I said Carol, and she was like, Yes, it's me, and this wave of knowledge that swept through me on how it was possible that she was still living inside the house, but that this was happening, just washed over me. And to this day, it's really difficult to put any type of words to. But that was the beginning of understanding this entire transition process. So things like that happen, and you just think, how amazing is this experience that we get to have?

Jannecke Øinæs 29:07

Yeah, and I mean, many of us are thinking about disclosure every day now, and I know you also had an experience with a creature in I think it was Costa Rica that blew your mind.

Isabeau Maxwell 29:22

I had a couple. Okay, so I'm not sure. I'm not sure which one you mentioned, but is this the one with my son, or is this the one? Okay, on the beach. But

Jannecke Øinæs 29:33

I would love to hear hear both.

Isabeau Maxwell 29:35

Okay, well, well, yeah. Now we have to hear both, right? Because I brought them up. So, oh, I am confusing. The one on the beach was in Mexico. That's okay. We'll still cover both of them. Okay, back to Costa Rica. My son, him and I went down to surf school where you hang out, and it's little cabins, and it was really cute and fun. And he he really wanted to learn to surf. Well. He came. He got sick with like the flu, and he was a teenager. So as a mom, I know his pattern if he gets sick. And I'm like, well, I'm sad because he's not going to be able to surf tomorrow or the next day, and he's going to be kind of bummed out. But we're just going to do the best. And he went to bed. There was two queen beds, and he was laying in the bed to my right. I was laying in the bed nearest the window, and there's no other way to say it other than a giant lizard, like had to be 20 feet long and like six feet tall, transparent, mind you, came in the wall in front of my bed and was moving toward my son's bed, and he's asleep, and I'm still up reading a book. And the instinct was stay away from my son. I don't know what this is. Like I've never seen anything like this, and I'm looking for my guides. Like, can somebody help me here? Because what I perceive as as what would I would see as like a monster in a movie is coming toward my child, and my guide was like, "It's okay, and it walked closer to the foot of the bed. I saw energy moving from my son to the lizard. I not like it was like consuming it or anything, but it just it was taking it, and then it left. And my son woke up the next day healthy. It was wild. It was absolutely wild. So he surfed for two more days. What do you make out of that? I'm. I'm. I'll be honest. There are moments where something like that happens, and as a former sceptic, I sit there and go, "Have I done it? Have I gone like over some sort of edge here? Like, is am I okay? Like, am I all right? And you know what helps? You can't always find something when you search online, but sometimes I'll do an online search for the history of a location and some of the legends of that location, and I'll find something similar to that, and go, okay, all right, there's a there's a commonality there, and it's helpful. Today, it wouldn't strike me as strange, I think, but earlier in the years it was. Now, when we were in, I went to Mexico with a girlfriend of mine, and we were on the beach, and we had a amazing tour guide, a gentleman that was telling us about the shamans that would work in the cenotes, and then he started talking about shamans in general and how it used to be that they would request a shaman to come into a building site or to a new location or something to balance things out, and that it was very honoured and very respected and not seen as much. So I was on the beach, hanging out, and I saw a spirit standing there, and there was just a rock over there, right next to him. And so I walked over, and I'm just standing on the rock, trying to look like I'm just you know observing the ocean. But in my mind, I was like, "Who are you? And I was just curious. And then I saw more spirits circling around, and it was a shaman in spirit form that was trying to detach an energy from the earth-based experience, and it looked like spikes. It looked like an energy had spiked into the location, and he, him, and the others that were with him were trying to like lift up the energy out of the spiked location. I would love to tell you that I understood it more deeply than that, but it felt very clear that if I was going to be witnessing this or participating, all I should do is just help lift that energy and call it a day. Because yeah, I always want to know.

Isabeau Maxwell 33:56

I do ask my guides afterwards, like, "What was that? And my guide was like it was a shaman. They were trying to shift some old energy that wasn't supposed to be in a certain location. They really are keepers of the land. They really do watch over things to make sure that they go in the trajectory that they're supposed to go in. But I I typically don't like tug on the shoulder of the shaman who's in the middle of working and go, Hey, what are you doing? What's all this about? What's going on? I just assist where I'm asked, and then typically ask questions later. But yeah, I've had a number of experiences like that. I do recall just one more because this one was really powerful, and I know that there are, I know there's alien influence on the planet, but I know a lot of it is really good and very powerful. One of which that I've seen was down in New Mexico. We were driving through, just driving through a random area, and I remember looking outside and I saw this. What you would probably say is like a beast, and it was like a half gorilla, half like dog. Type beast, and my first very human reaction, because again, it's maybe three, four years on my spiritual path, was that's scary, and I remember saying to my guide real quickly, "What is that? What is that? What is that? Because it was out, it was out, you know, far from it was doing its thing. Just seemed like it was standing there; it wasn't interacting or anything. And my guide said, "Oh, they eat radiation, and I was like, "What? And he said, "Yeah, they. Well, I'm like, "Eat? They're like, "No, they balance radiation. They balance radiation. And I thought that was really fascinating. It was a really positive feeling. So I was like, "Here's this creature, who my human mind can deem as maybe scary looking, but the truth is, it's not, and it's simply a being that's here to help. Fast forward a year or two, I went to a house clearing of a family, and all I knew was that the house was haunted. They wanted it cleared, and I was standing outside, and I saw another one of these creatures. Now, this was nowhere near New Mexico. This was in New England, and I saw another one of these creatures, and I didn't say anything to the homeowner. I just said, "Do you have any radiation stuff going on in in the neighbourhood? He goes, "Yeah, there's a lot of people that are dealing with cancer right now, and we're trying to figure out if there's radiation, et cetera, et cetera. And I was just blown away by that. In that moment, I do remember it came closer to me, and I knew that it knew that I knew that it knew that I saw it, and but it felt loving, and that was quite a lesson for me. It was quite a lesson for me. So yeah, I've had experiences like that that they're not common for me because as a medium, I typically deal with spirits that are in human form. But those those happen, and you just think this place is incredible. This experience is so much here.

Isabeau Maxwell 36:56

There's so much when you open up to possibilities, even in small windows, like you don't, because I don't believe everything. You know, I don't just believe something because I hear it or experience it. But I do stay open to all possibilities, and even if you do that, even in small windows, your vibration will raise, and it will be more accepting of having more of these experiences, and that that's a game changer for somebody on their spiritual path.

Jannecke Øinæs 37:29

I actually like what Robert Edward Grant is saying that I don't even know what I don't know.

Isabeau Maxwell 37:35

Yeah,

Jannecke Øinæs 37:36

I mean, I had no idea that yeah that that even existed, and it's a wonderful feeling that to know that there are so many forces taking care of us. I know it's the opposite too, but I think we have fairies and elementals and all kinds of creatures taking care of us. And I've never thought about radiation being a thing that they would help us with. Maybe there's much more, much more that they're stabilising and harmonising, and much more rescuing us.

Isabeau Maxwell 38:08

Exactly. I I was in Portugal like last October, so I'm I'm in Portugal, and I remember seeing a being that was about nine or 10 feet tall in spirit form, and it was a woman, and she was proportional. It just very tall and quieter, very loving. When I finally could have a conversation with her, because again, you know, I'm I show up open to any conversation that they might want to have or be willing to have with me, and she had a conversation with me and said, "There's a whole lot of us. And when she said that, I had a flash of an image of these 910, foot beings all over the planet, and she said, "We're bringing in the feminine divine energy. We're raising it dramatically, and it just so happened to be a point last year that more women were doing things and and being elected and and making changes and and having these incredible things happening. It was really neat to see. So something so special like that that a race will come here, an alien race will come here to infuse an energy that they have the capability of doing to help us shift into the next level is really powerful.

Jannecke Øinæs 39:34

Oh, for sure! I think it's incredibly crowded here.

Isabeau Maxwell 39:38

Yes, yes. If you start to consider everything that is in the unseen. It is very crowded here. Yes.

Jannecke Øinæs 39:46

Yeah, and and I always go back to that thought that when I look at, I just go outside and I look at some trees or some flowers. I see universes within universes. You know that little ant has no. Idea, I wouldn't know, but I assume that it has no idea that I don't know the city is right down there. Like that universe is so small. There are universes within universes and worlds within worlds within worlds within worlds. It's just so vast. Would you say that this is all connected also to the transition from 3d to 5d. I know you had a video where you talked about it, and I thought it was really interesting that you said that 5d, like people have been in 5d for centuries. It's not like right now we're just jumping up. So and we can go back and forth as well.

Isabeau Maxwell 40:40

Absolutely, I. What I like to talk about with 3d and 5d is to kind of talk about how it's not good or bad. It's not. It's going to be better if you're in 5d and worse if you're in 3d. It's not that. It's going back to earlier in our conversation about somebody who's navigating the earthly experience versus the spiritual experience, being able to toggle back and forth is really powerful. You know, staying in 5d is fine. Staying in 3d is fine. Being able to go between the two because you have knowledge of the two is kind of wonderful, right? So those changes are coming in stronger and stronger. And yes, people have always been able to access those higher levels, but it's going to be a whole lot easier. A whole lot. It already is starting to be a lot easier. As of right now, people are seeing more and more and more synchronicities. Synchronicities on the level that they're not even signs to tell you you have to do anything. It's just witnessing yourself creating your experience. Yeah, I I tell this story. My husband and I were travelling. My my best friend here and I were travelling, and we ended up going out of the hotel room just after we had made a joke about the word impetus. Just it was a random word. We made a joke about it. We were like, "Oh, impetus, impetus. And we walk around the corner and we pass a store called impetus. And it's those things that are happening more and more for people. And I encourage listeners to see them and acknowledge them, and when you see them, say, "Of course, of course, I see that. Of course, that happened. My path is being created for me, and that's really the most powerful part that I feel of 5d is being able to anchor in and align and be a lot more grounded and certain within your existence, and how strong and powerful you are in this existence. I think that's a real powerful thing that's going to come of 5d.

Jannecke Øinæs 42:52

And you're also saying that manifestation will be automatic, or is becoming automatic. What do you mean by that?

Isabeau Maxwell 43:00

So the way that I like to explain manifesting and using affirmations is: we're always, we've always been manifesting, but it's as if you're standing inside of a warehouse, and when you manifest, we in the past have walked over to the door of the warehouse, and we've opened that door up, and we've sent outside into the universe what we want. We close the door and we go back to the warehouse and we wait for it to arrive. That was a very standard way of manifesting. Not bad. Worked. It's great. And we're still going to use manifesting that way. Automatic manifesting is conscious creator energy, and it's lifting the warehouse up off of you, it's having access continually to that source, that code that will put something into alignment with you. So when we're standing in the hotel room and we're leaving the hotel room, and the word impetus comes out of our mouth, then the code goes yes here and yes here, so I tell this story a lot, but it's it's it's such a good example of automatic manifesting that I really want to share it. We were RVing and we were travelling from one location to the next, and we were going to some fairgrounds, like a town park, to stay at, and on the way there, it's me and my partner in the truck. We're driving, got a big old RV on the back of our our truck, and I said, "Have you heard of those bars that you can go to where you can throw an axe at a bullseye and at a bar? How fun is that? He goes, "Yeah, yeah, I've heard about that. I said we should look for one. He goes, Yeah, we'll keep our eye out for one. That would be really fun. Cool. And then we talked about other things. We get to the campground. We set up. We go to bed. He wakes me up the next morning saying there's a farmers market outside. He was so excited, and I said, Well, then go buy some stuff for. Like okay, because it was like the town fairgrounds, so the farmers market had arrived. He goes, no, you don't understand. There's a mobile axe throwing unit in a trailer right outside our door. I was like, that's it, that's it. All we're saying, like the warehouse is lifted, we have access, so we say, hey, I really want to go axe throwing, and the universe goes by golly, we actually have somebody that's going to come, and then it links right up in front of us. And so I wasn't asking for it in a manifesting way. These are the experiences that people are going to start having more and more of, where they just think you just can't make this up. It's so wild.

Jannecke Øinæs 45:44

There's a lot to this. So is this not is this not conscious? Then you're not trying to manifest. You're just being you, feeling. I would like to do that. I would like to do that. But you're not conscious around it. Or should you be conscious around it. Oh, that would be nice, and just throw it away. And aware, being aware that I'm sort of sending out the wish here.

Isabeau Maxwell 46:09

Absolutely. Well, I would say be conscious of it. I tell people to use the words something like "of course. I have a sage circle member that uses "poof proof. So if something happens like that to her, she'll go poof proof, and I think that's a great a great phrase. But I use the word of course. So if we see the store and it says impetus, I go of course of course that happened. That's it's this is part of the whole system, or of course there's an axe throwing unit right outside the RV door. So I tell people to see it, acknowledge it, because it'll invite it'll it'll invite like more awareness around it. So we've always been doing this on automatic, but what's levelling up with this 5d? What's levelling up going into this new age is the specificity of it? It is a lot more specific. It's a lot more intricate. Instead of how we've always been manifesting that we would get this job or get that job, and it was just because we were job searching and we ended up getting that job, it's much more in real time, like the best version of instant karma kind of thing, where it's starting to lay out right in front of you within 24 hours, and it's very magical. So, I'm I'm most likely never going to let go of sitting down and manifesting and consciously saying, okay, this is a big thing that's coming up that I want, but I also welcome the automatic manifesting that has always been happening to be more magnified and more instantaneous and more detailed oriented, and to just be in that space. I think it's a really exciting time, very much like repeating numbers, but on on bigger scales. When you say one of my favourite names is Gertrude, and then you go to go drive down to hike, and you pass Gertrude's apple pie shop, and you're like, there it is. So

Jannecke Øinæs 48:21

I know it happens all the time. I I think about a person and then I pull up my telephone, you know, my mobile, and then the first post is that person. Yeah, and then I feel like is someone hacking my brain?

Isabeau Maxwell 48:35

Like who who heard that? Who heard that? Yeah, yeah. I had one recently where I have a t-shirt. It's purple rain t-shirt, and my my girlfriend messaged me and she said, "Hey, guess what I'm listening to? And she sent purple rain. Like I'm listening to purple rain. She knew it was one of my favourites, and she goes, "You want to jump online real quick? So we jumped on Zoom, and she looked at me. She goes, "You're really wearing that shirt, aren't you? And I was like, "Yeah. When you sent that to me, so it's so, it's fun, and when we can welcome it and be excited about it, then it becomes pretty amazing.

Jannecke Øinæs 49:16

Yeah, and I learned in India that pay attention to synchronicities because they become miracles.

Isabeau Maxwell 49:23

Yes, exactly.

Jannecke Øinæs 49:25

I think we're we're living in an age or moving into an age of miracles. Actually, miracles have always been there, and life has always been magical. But we're starting to see it more and acknowledge it more. But speaking of the future, some psychics are saying it will get worse before it gets better. Others are saying, "Oh, the golden age is very, very close. What are your predictions or thoughts about the energies coming for humanity?

Isabeau Maxwell 49:54

I wouldn't say that. I personally wouldn't say like that. It's going to get worse or. You know, I would say that the difficult times are a part of this journey and a part of the earth, and I don't see us moving toward, you know, euphoria and bliss and everything is completely fine. So there's still going to be difficult things happening, but I definitely see us going into an era Of connectedness and community, and a heightened spiritual experience versus individualism and isolation, and because in in essence, it's that human isolation period that we walked through that launched us spiritually into the next era, when you see dramatically what you don't want, it's easier to move toward what you do want. And I think collectively, as souls, we're shifting the planet from the I to the we, from the isolation to community. Not in the sense of perfection, but in the sense of that will be the the majority of the experience versus the majority of the experience being harsh and difficult because it's been tough. It's it's been a tough few years that we've all gone through, and I see it as more of a breath of fresh air, highs and lows, but the lows are going to be a little less low than they were before.

Jannecke Øinæs 51:26

And going back to the female energy coming in, do you see perhaps that that will influence also leadership in the world? That we might then have more female leaders in our lifetime in really heavy positions.

Isabeau Maxwell 51:42

Oh yeah, oh yeah. A lot more female influence. A lot more of it. Ideally, a balanced state is that is the state of perfection and allowing the feminine divine energies to do what they do best, and and allowing the masculine energies to do what they do best, but in the highest form, no longer in the toxic form, but in the highest form, collectively is what I see coming. So I see it as a very, very heavy imbalance right now. Not everywhere in the world, but most places, and I do see it shifting to much more of a respected balance. A lot of the old standards of masculinity and femininity, feminine and masculine, are just so visually outdated. They're so to the point where people are more often now questioning what's real with masculine and feminine instead of what is presented previously? We'll say so. Wanting to be in your real state is where the power is, and I see more and more people doing that, and I see more and more women stepping into that energetic power and society power as well.

Jannecke Øinæs 53:00

And in a few years only, or way ahead?

Isabeau Maxwell 53:03

Yeah, yeah. 2027 is. I'm. I'm really interested in 2027. I'm really interested because it's going to be a very magnetic state. We're going to step into a very sort of magnetic existence. Like you said, you think about the friend and the first one that comes up, right? So on a very singular level, that would be a magnetic experience. But community-wise, we're going to be very magnetic as well. And when a situation, a location, or a community needs something specific, it will magnetically draw it to them, and that's where the feminine divine is coming in because we need a lot of that in a lot of different areas because it has been pushed down for so long. It needs to. It's rising back up to balance, and the magnetic energy of 2027 is almost going to demand it. It's always it's almost going to say no. This is the energy that we're going to magnetically bring to this location or this experience or this need, and we're going to see a lot more of that in 2027.

Jannecke Øinæs 54:19

I'm excited. I feel excitement around it.

Isabeau Maxwell 54:23

Me too. Me too. And just to be the clarity that people are getting within themselves right now is powerful. End of 2026 is about deep inset clarity. Now, mind you, the middle of 26, 2026 was about deep set confusion, you know. I know I've changed. I know, right? Like, don't even know who I am at this moment. I know I've changed. I know it was for the good, but I don't understand what happened in here. Hang on, because you're gonna, and it's a good thing. So that's gonna start bubbling. To the surface, the end of this year, beginning of next year, and we're truly going to function differently in 2027. Not only as individuals, but as groups, because we're going to be more solid on what we want. If you go back five years, we're talking about recovering people pleasers and setting boundaries, and a lot of that was very intense and very difficult to do. 2027, it's going to feel more natural to do those things. Like this is what I need, and this is also what I want to give, and all of that balance is going to be much easier to attain. That's that's how I'll explain it.

Jannecke Øinæs 55:42

And from what I understand, you also say that in October, especially 2026, the veil is becoming very thin.

Isabeau Maxwell 55:50

Yeah,

Jannecke Øinæs 55:52

is that because of Halloween? No, I'm just kidding.

Isabeau Maxwell 55:55

Yeah, people ask the question. I don't have a fancy answer for why the veil is thin, I wish I did. I wish there was like a mystical answer, but the truth be told, the veil is thin because for 1000s of years it was decided as a collective that it was, and when you have everybody making that decision, then it is. So it's not a fancy answer, but it's. And if you were to go back hundreds of years, it was an honouring. It was this very special time between the worlds for people and for their and for their cultures and communities. So over time, this has become an integral part of the Earth-based experience. What I find fascinating is this year is stronger than previous years, and I started to talk to my guide about that and said, "What's what's going on? Because each year I'll do something called like the thinning of the veil, or I'll do a meditation, you know, with my community to be able to you know connect with their loved ones, et cetera, et cetera, and that's just an annual process that I've done within the community. And this year, it's stunning how it's gonna. It's not only going to be thinner, but then that's going to continue as we move forward. If we think about going from the I to the V and the isolated to community, it would make sense that the thinning of the veil every year is now going to be easier to connect to loved ones on the other side moving forward as well because it's the we, it's the community, it's the connection. More and more people are going to be having mediumship experiences over the course of the next two years, and moving forward from that.

Jannecke Øinæs 57:41

And you're also having an event this October because of the strong energy or thin veil. Talk to us about that.

Isabeau Maxwell 57:50

Yeah, I open it up. I open it up to the public because there's going to be so many people who are going to have this experience where the veil is very thin, and I'm approaching it in a very, a very similar manner to the past traditions of this is the time to connect with your loved ones. This is the time to honour them. This is a time to be present with them. And some sometimes they people will say, you know, the thing in the veil, it's spooky. That's connected to the Halloween stuff. That's that's not really the case. The thing of the veil is your soul group on the other side and your soul group on Earth being more connected, like more easily access accessible as a group together. It's like being able to go back to your family's house and go sit in the living room and talk to them again. That's that's the feeling. It's a very sacred, special time of the year to do that, and it's going to get easier and easier each year as we go.

Jannecke Øinæs 58:54

And the event you're having is it a physical event or is it an online event? And I'll drop a link below so people can sign up.

Isabeau Maxwell 59:01

Oh, it's an so it's an online event, and during the event in the beginning, I'll be teaching about the other side, about you know the veil thinning, and about our connection with our with our soul groups, et cetera, et cetera, and then we'll be going into a meditation to have that connection. So while we might meet with a medium and the medium connects with your loved one, you're going to connect with your loved one in this. So the meditation will set it up so that you can experience that moment in that metaphorical living room, sitting there talking to them again. We're going to take a probably small break in the middle because it's going to be a longer workshop, and then we're going to do the meditation again. I'm also going to make sure to provide people with an audio of the meditation because might not happen the first time, and it might happen the second time, and then there might be experiences that they want to have moving forward beyond the workshop as well. So really, it's. The how to, and it's how to, and then anchoring into the energy of it, and then releasing into it, so that you can be present with your loved one.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:00:09

Beautiful. And for those who don't have the possibility to participate in your event, could they just set the intention at that time and connect in their own way, or do you think they would absolutely feel a difference if they set an intention?

Isabeau Maxwell 1:00:28

I do. It's the intention itself is magnetic, and it says, "Hey, I'm here and I'm present. I would not only suggest sitting down to set the intention, but perhaps creating a routine, you know, once a week, something like that, to say, "Hey, I'm here. It's very well known in the mediumship circles that who you think about and you talk about, you bring about, and it's easier to connect with them. So I tell people, talk to them, talk about them, talk to them, and make that a routine in your day-to-day life if you can, and that's how we get closer and closer to not only our guides but our loved ones.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:01:12

I feel I can sit here and chat with you for hours and just go on and on. It's always a joy having you here. I have a few questions I ask everyone, and my first one is, what is the deepest spiritual insight you've ever received?

Isabeau Maxwell 1:01:27

For me, it was that I'm not alone. I and and that nobody's alone, ever. I I think that there's so much of this life that we can feel so isolated, but the second we let go of the physicality of it and feel into the world around us spiritually, we realise we're never alone. And that was really because I I had a number of years that I felt very alone, and that connectedness to be able to step out of the physicality and just say, "Okay, I'm just going to be in the spiritual realm and see what happens, and then you start to feel surrounded with love. It's a very powerful, very powerful experience, and I think that it's it's important for everybody to know.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:02:18

And what is self love to you.

Isabeau Maxwell 1:02:22

Self love is the most direct, solid acceptance of every aspect of yourself. I the smallest example would be I grew up feeling that if I made a mistake, I was a bad person, and all of these years walking the spiritual path, I had a conversation with a friend of mine, and she said, "You know, how cool is it that you can make a mistake, and the people that love you will show up for you, and then you keep going? And it was like, yeah. So to embrace all of those things, absolute acceptance of everything about yourself, I think is the most powerful thing you can do.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:03:11

And what is the deeper meaning of life from your perspective?

Isabeau Maxwell 1:03:15

To have experiences, to have as many experiences as you can. Yeah, some of them are going to be hard. Some are going to be hard, but when we start seeing the experiences as experiences that we are having instead of just being pulled through them, that's that's why we're here, and it it turns a little bit more into shopping at a candy store instead of being dragged down the aisle by the shopping cart, you can say so. The perspective of I'm here to have experiences is deeply powerful and can be really a life changing perspective for people.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:03:52

If people want to connect with you or learn more, I know you have a YouTube channel. Tell us about where they can go.

Isabeau Maxwell 1:03:59

I do have a YouTube channel, I love that channel. It's really fun. I put a podcast out every week, but also I typically keep everything in one website, thesagemethod.com. So t h e s a g e m e t h o d.com, and everything is there. So it's a great hub to start with.

Jannecke Øinæs 1:04:19

Wonderful! Thank you so much for coming back on the show. I really enjoyed our conversation.

Isabeau Maxwell 1:04:23

Thank you for having me. I love I love the show and I love everything that you do.
