Spirit Unplugged

"Numbers are the universal language offered by the deity to humans as confirmation of the truth" - St. Augustine of Hippo (circa 354 to 430 A.D.) Hello & Welcome Back Spirit Nerds! In this episode we're diving head-first into all things NUMEROLOGY! We'll be discussing what Numerology is, the history of this practice (which we both found to be super fascinating), superstitions in Numerology (a.k.a common "bad luck" numbers, like the number 13 for example which is a HUGE one), how Numerology works, the numbers you can calculate on your own to learn things about yourself (like that ever elusive "Soul Purpose" thingy-ma-jig) AND the piece de resistance - Allison will be doing a mini reading for the numerological significance behind our year ahead in 2020.

Welcome back Spirit Nerds! Boy do we have a treat for you today 

We are back our loveliest Spirit Nerds, and this time we're continuing our Half-Birthday / 6-Months-Versary fun by diving back into YOUR feedback, starting with our Episode all about: Through the Looking Glass 2 - Apantomancy. That means that YAS BABES, in this episode we are still gushing so hard about how much we love & appreciate you. You may even get heaps more of intuitive development advice from Allison on this go-around (and be fly on the wall to her interpretation of a Listener's random moment of animal symbolism a.k.a. Apantomancy). Set the tea or coffee to brew and tuck-in to finish off our fun review of our 2019 episodes with us, right before we gear up for our brand-spanking-new content coming in 2020.

  Hello, welcome back & Happy New Year, Spirit Nerds! We hope you've had some time to chill even just a wee little bit during the Holiday Season (if you do in fact celebrate any form of festivities). In this episode well FINALLY get to all of your amazing questions, comments and feels about some of our episodes published in 2019... mostly because it's our Half-Birthday / 6-Months-Versary here at the Spirit Unplugged Podcast. Basically we'll just be sitting around gushing about how very amazing we find our listeners and followers to be. YAS BABES, you're all so magical. ♥ So get ready to have a tea, coffee or drink with us during this epic hangout sesh Spirit Fam... As we take you on a journey through the first half of our 2019 review AND we may even say a little something something about how we felt about each episode (things we liked, disliked, and would go back to change).

Here we are yet again Spirit Nerds with our 3rd (and final) segment of "15 Burning Questions Every Psychic *Should* Answer". And this time (let us tell you) Nick finally takes the gloves off. We have somehow saved our juiciest and most *real* (aka totally embarrassing) questions for last, so you better buckle in for this one. Actually... just go ahead and pop the popcorn, put the bevvies on ice, and get those Scooby Snacks ready.  Interested in hearing Nick pose a question that takes Allison aback? Want to know what it sounds like when Allison is trying to get ahold of her Introverted-Care-Bear-Embarassment? Well then this, surely, is the episode for you folks. Tune in to hear all about whether Allison is Psychic all the time, whether she defines herself to be spiritually "fluffy bunny" PLUS... S.E.X. Oh yea. We go there. Finally you will get your first look at a Professional Psychic Medium in the wild as she tries to explain just how normal (and totally nerdy) she really is with some prime examples of book & t.v. genres that she binges in her non-Professional-Psychic-Medium hours. And probably she's doing all of that while chilling in her black-kitty-cat-onesie-pajamas. Get ready to mop up some tea on aisle Spirit Unplugged Podcast while we get down to the good stuff ;)

Hello & welcome back fellow Spirit Nerds as we delve into our 2nd segment of "15 Burning Questions Every Psychic *Should* Answer" hosted by none other than our strong-yet-silently-sarcastic Nick (who's basically got his super-bright interrogation spotlight shining down on our resident Professional Psychic Medium Allison). This time we'll be getting even more deeply personal by kicking things off with some of Allison's greatest fears in opening up to her gifts & ongoing daily challenges that can kinda make life real difficult at times. Allison will also be *very* candid about the nature of her relationship with her Spirit Guides / Entourage / Fam along with what it's like to hang out with other Psychics AND what it's like to be romantically entangled with someone possessing a sixth sense. Nick may even pipe in there on the last one to either throw Allison under the bus or make her feel better about herself (*spoiler alert* it's seriously the second one) ;) Tune in now to continue on with Questions 6 to 10 on our list of "15 Burning Questions Every Psychic *Should* Answer". P.S. - We're also releasing the final segment in this epic-saga this week as well, so you can totally BINGE this episode & the next one for some uninterrupted flow of sugary-Psychic-goodness. 

What's up fellow Spirit Nerds? We're back with a brand new episode & this time we are flexing our Interviewer / Interviewee skills with our 1st segment in a very intensive showdown between Nick (with his Sherlock-sleuthing-interview-skills) & Allison (who's like kind of, ya know, a Professional Psychic Medium & all that jazz). Nick has crafted the ultimate list of "15 Burning Questions Every Psychic *Should* Answer" - and in this episode you will get to hear Allison's unfiltered (and sometimes totally embarrassing) answers for the first 5 questions on that list. Learn why her personal life can be very complicated (& totally heartbreaking), how she broke the news of her Psychic talents to Nick, how she *really* feels about skeptics PLUS the lengths her Spirit Guides / Entourage / Fam went to (in the beginning) just to get her started professionally. So without further ado, sit back, relax & tune in to hear even more detail about the life & stylings of one hopelessly Nerdy & Introverted (but hopefully still super-relatable) Professional Psychic Medium, Allison Boswell.  

Hello again our loveliest Spirit Nerds! We're so excited to be presenting a 2nd brand-new episode for you guys this week ;) As part of our very special *Halloween Double Feature* we are launching this super-cool BRAND NEW segment entitled "Paranormal Case Files"... Where Nick puts on his Honorary-Detective-Sherlock hat to decipher all the creepy, crawly in's & out's of infamous Paranormal Cases either popular in the media or based on TRUE STORIES.  Meanwhile Allison, for the 1st time EVER, is donning her Professional-Psychic-Medium-Channelling-Mode hat to connect directly with Spirit and provide a full-on PSYCHIC MEDIUM READING to further flesh out the details of each case. In this episode we take on one of the most famous cases ever really - the Amityville Hauntings! Which we happen to think is a great accompaniment to our last episode (Spirited Pop Culture 2 - The Amityville Horror (2005) Movie Review). Kind of like pairing cheese with wine, only much SPOOKIER ;) Tune in to hear all the juicy details about the 1st inhabitants of 112 Ocean Avenue to report spooky-paranormal-happenings (the DeFeos). The grisly & tragic murders to take place in this family. PLUS the subsequent ghostly-drama to take place during the 2nd family's residency at the infamous Amityville abode (the Lutz'). We also tackle some key evidence debunking paranormal accounts presented in the media AND Nick's personal review of "The Amityville Horror" book by Jay Anson. So get the Scooby Snacks ready fellow Spirit Nerds for our 2nd (and final) episode in our extra-special-spooktacular *Halloween Double Feature*!

Welcome back Spirit Nerds! We've missed you heaps ♥ We've departed from our regularly scheduled episodes for a few weeks due to Allison's Autumn 2019 traveling schedule (because y'know work is a thang). So now we're back & even more Nerdy / Spiritual / "All the things" than ever before! Because this week we got to record not just one episode for you guys BUT TWO... for our very special *Halloween Double Feature*. In this episode we return to you with one of our most popular segments - "Spirited Pop Culture". Where we watch & review popular horror movies about all things Spooky, Scary, Haunting, Paranormal. We mostly do this so you don't have to (if you're anything like Allison then we're sure you downright refuse to) ;) Listen in to hear us share our thoughts & Nerdy musings on the Amityville Horror film (the 2005 remake). Allison will be, as always, offering up her opinions on which of the paranormal events in this movie are realistic from the perspective of a Professional Psychic Medium. Nick will be, as always, serving up his special brand of sarcasm / comedic relief AND his super-important-hipster-beard-rating-system review of this film based on sheer entertainment value. BONUS: Find out why Allison has strong feels about Ryan Reynolds starring in this film AND check out our utter confusion about the Conjuring series of films... because we originally thought at the time of recording this episode that the Amityville Horror film worked into the Conjuring Universe, but have since realized the error of our ways & we now know that the Conjuring Universe DOES NOT include the Amityville instalments. Who can keep up, really?! Buckle in fellow Spirit Nerds for our 1st of 2 episodes in our extra-special-spooktacular *Halloween Double Feature*! P.S. - We're now uploading all new episodes on Wednesday mornings ;)

Hello again fellow Spirit Nerds! We are back and this time we bring you our 2nd segment of "Through the Looking Glass" featuring APANTOMANCY... A form of divination that we have ALL likely used at some point or another without even realizing it! So get ready for us to discuss what Apantomancy is, popular superstitions born out of the practice of Apantomancy & the supposed birth of an entire city out of the ancient practice of Apantomancy. Allison will also break down for you the best methods of engage in the practice of Apantomancy with some sage Intuitive / Spiritual Development advice. Mostly the fact that you need to do your homework, always! You also get to play fly-on-the-wall & listen in on our test-drive of Apantomancy where we will use our own examples of encountering this cool form of divination within DAYS of our initial written draft / show notes on this episode. Weird, huh? Somehow a little sparrow babe wanted to be besties with Nick, even. PLUS Allison takes Apantomancy interpretation to the next level by merging the symbolism of 3 separate signs too address 1 very special follower's Ask via Tumblr. Which may or may not include a wee featured spotlight moment on numerology + what it means to find dimes everywhere! So get ready & adjust your volume buttons accordingly for this EPIC JOURNEY into Apantomancy.

Welcome back fellow Spirit Nerds to our final instalment of the "Empaths" episode series, and we just may have saved the juiciest information for last ;) In this episode we discuss the different types of Empaths. Some of which include weird circumstances or quirks LIKE the fact that you may "feel" dead people around you, phantom physical pain is totally a thing, damage done to our Earth may leave you in tears, covert chameleon-esque Empaths is a thing as well (kind of like Jarod "The Pretender" if you ever saw that circa mid to late 90's show with an occult following) & more! PLUS we will pull no punches in discussing the Darker Side of being an Empath. Including the fact that Empaths are just natural magnets for attracting toxic people (with perhaps personality disorders - like NARCISSISTS)! Sound familiar? Gee, we actually in all sincerity hope not. We cap off our final foray into the world of all things Empath by sharing some super helpful Intuitive Development guidance tailored for the unique journey of an Empath. This show is a great one as our emotional crescendo into the realm of Empaths - believe us when we say it's not to be missed!

Hello Spirit Nerds we are back & this time we are serving up our next series of numbered episodes featuring the topic of Empaths. Why Empaths? Well in terms of the different types of Psychic / Paranormal Abilities floating around out there - the path of being an Empath seems to be the most relatable journey out of them all. In this episode we discuss the importance of knowing what the terms "Empathy", "Sympathy" & "Compassion" mean. PLUS we break down the main differences between super-sensitive Empathetic people versus Empaths that have some kind of Spiritual / Paranormal / Psychic Ability. There is (of course) no verifiable "online test" or method you can use to be 100% certain, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that you are a true Empath BUT we will guide you through specific experiences, actions & behaviours that may just shed a little light on your journey to self-identify as an Empath. And YES, we totally acknowledge the fact that it may now be *somewhat* "the Cool Thing to Do" when identifying as an Empath... But really, we'll be delving more deeply into why we feel the whole "I'm an Empath too" thing has taken over the Internet in Spiritual & New Age circles. And finally - Nick will be sharing some valuable insight about his journey as a low-key super-powered Empath (that chooses to fly under the radar & only apply those abilities to Mundane / Muggle life pursuits). So buckle in folks & get ready to hear the in's & out's on all things "Empath".

Hello fellow Spirit Nerds (& Horror / Paranormal Movie Junkies)! Welcome to our first ever super-special segment of "Spirited Pop Culture"; where a Professional Psychic Medium assesses the validity of Spiritual / Paranormal phenomena presented in popular forms of media (i.e. movies, t.v. shows, books & more). Hang out with us as Allison analyzes the accuracy of the terrifying hauntings & otherworldly beings portrayed in the movie Insidious (2010). We have tried our best to remain spoiler-free, but listen at your own risk!  We'll start out by discussing some of the production value, investment / international gross & critical acclaim / review of this film (referencing popular sites like Rotten Tomatoes & IMDB). Then we'll dive right into Allison's take on what realistically hit the mark in terms of Spiritual / Paranormal phenomena in this film... Like kids being all creepy & weird in the face of the "Unknown". She'll also cover aspects of the film that were so unrealistic & hammed up to the Nth degree that it's almost laughable! For the record, dear listeners, Allison has never worn a gas-mask-like contraption when facilitating a Seance / Group Mediumship session, and Nick won't be showing up at your house demanding tribute via Hot Pockets. Buckle-in for our exciting take on the movie Insidious (2010) + Nick's desperate pleas for Allison to watch the entire Insidious franchise.

Welcome back to our exciting conclusion of our series on Ouija Boards - where the best information (and funniest moments) are yet to come! Including antidotal comments about why Ouija Boards just don't work for Allison & how using a Ouija Board can be kind of like putting out the "Bat Signal". PLUS we cover ideal use of a Ouija Board geared toward Spiritual growth. We even take into account the awareness & ethics needed within Spirit Work as a whole while delving into the intuitive elements of a Ouija Board. Including tips on how you can best avoid receiving any "randos", "transients" or downright trickster Spirits from showing up during your session & toying with you. Expect to hear some weird (and sometimes maybe super legit) Ouija Board superstitions - like if you don't dispose of the board in a certain way you could maybe end up dying in 36 hours... Or something like that. But really, why are we still engaging in early 90's era chain letters in the occult - we're in the age of the meme Ouija Haunters! So basically you can learn tantalizing bits of Ouija gossip like that one & so much more... We finish off this amazing Ouija series with 2 very Creeptastic Ouija Stories submitted by our Followers - one of which is served up with concrete validation via a published news story. So sit back, relax & enjoy our final journey in all things Ouija. And as always - we love you, you fabulous Spirit Nerds.

Hello fellow Spirit Nerds, we are back! This time we come bearing the extra special gift of our 1st instalment featuring all things OUIJA BOARD. Epic, we know. In this episode we'll discuss basic cleansing techniques to use on a Ouija Board if you happen to find your board on the side of the road like Allison did. Plus basic "How To's" when using a Ouija Board - including the importance of setting the mood + creating some general ambience & drama. We've got any skeptical notions covered too with some compelling evidence featuring popular scientific theories used to debunk Ouija sessions. Evidence that's convincing enough for our own resident Psychic Medium. We even include a very simple test you can perform when gauging the validity of your own session at home. Finally we cap off the episode by delving deeply into the origin story of the Ouija Board - which like the board itself, is shrouded in mystery. Did you know that the board may have even named itself after a popular woman rights activist? We bet you didn't! Tune in if you want to learn all of that & more. And as always, thank you for listening. We kind of, sort of, heart you.

Join us for a special segment of the Spirit Unplugged Podcast - Through the Looking Glass! A segment where we will be providing a thorough profile of alternative methods / means of divination with surprising applications you may find useful in your own intuitive development & spiritual practices. This week we test out a form of divination that uses an object which is kind of the glue that truly holds our current societies & cultures together - and that would be Bibliomancy or rather divination via books! We'll be discussing traditionally what Bibliomancy is, how to practice it, and the history surrounding this unique form of divination. Included in this episode are some surprising historical applications of this technique PLUS answers to some of our Followers' questions through the art of Bibliomancy. Tune in if you want to hear Allison have a shocking revelation about Bibliomancy + witness examples of modern use of this divinatory practice.

Hello fellow Spirit Junkies & welcome back to our very first OFFICIAL numbered-episode of the Spirit Unplugged Podcast! In this episode we'll be discussing the in's & out's of the term "Spiritual Awakening" plus how it will come about & how it may manifest for you.  Allison & Nick will also share whether they feel they've gone through an awakening & how that has manifested for each of them.   If you're ever been unsure as to what "Spiritual Awakening" even means or whether you've been through an awakening (... or several), tune in if you'd like to de-mystify this whole "awakening" thing & get the low-down on all things regarding opening up in Spirit.

Welcome to our very first episode of the Spirit Unplugged Podcast! In this episode you'll get a chance to meet and learn more about our amazing co-hosts... Professional Psychic Medium Allison of AllisonAwakened.com + her (sometimes) Skeptical Sidekick (on the podcast & in life) Nick. Allison will also dish on the meaning behind the podcast's name, because she's super deep like that. PLUS what would a Spiritual Podcast be without some spooky Ghost Stories?! This time our stories are OUR OWN... You didn't really think a Pro like Allison would have survived all this time in the Spiritual Industry without some truly epic Ghost Stories of her own, did you?
