During the last few weeks up until my father’s death 4 years ago, I experienced a profound spiritual awakening as some would describe it as spiritual or psychic up-leveling which led me on my path to ask the question What Do You Believe? This week on the podcast I had the privilege of interviewing Kimberly Meredith, a world-renowned medical medium and healer. With her remarkable abilities, Kimberly has helped thousands of people and animals to improve from all manner of medical and emotional conditions by calling in the Divine and Christ Consciousness. Kimberly can also connect with those who have crossed over to bring messages to the living. Kimberly received her miraculous healing gifts from the Holy Spirit following two Near Death Experiences (NDEs), during which she was blessed with an incredible encounter with God. Through her healing mediumship and blinking eyes, Kimberly can see into the body faster and more accurately than the fastest MRI and thermography machines, accurately detecting all manner of medical conditions. Kimberly also possesses the ability to emit healing Scalar energy even through walls, as measured by Dr. Norm Shealy during scientific testing to validate Kimberly’s abilities. She has also been tested by the PSYtek subtle energy Laboratory and at the famed IONS Institute of Noetic Sciences, founded by Apollo astronaut Edgar Mitchell. Kimberly hosts the #1-rated radio program, The Medical Intuitive Miracle Show, streaming on KCAAradio.com and iHeartRadio. Kimberly is excited to announce she has a major book coming out in September 2021 with St. Martin’s Press Essentials, Hayhouse UK, and Penguin Random House Audio called AWAKENING TO THE 5TH DIMENSION: DISCOVERING THE SOUL’S PATH TO HEALING. You can buy the book by visiting the publisher’s website.
