When Spirit Changes Its Language

In this deeply personal and illuminating episode, Chandra explores how spirit speaks when we feel most lost, and how synchronicity, symbolism, and the unexpected weaving of events can become a form of divine conversation.

Through stories of butterflies, a strange art-deco window, a bookstore encounter that defies logic, and the loving echo of a grandfather’s guidance, Chandra shares how connection continues long after physical presence ends. This episode invites you to step into a gentler, more fluid understanding of mediumship, one grounded not in theatrics, but in ethics, reverence, and the subtle language of the soul.

🔹 In This Episode

• When the dead don’t appear the way we expect

Chandra opens up about longing for her Poppow to appear in a physical, cinematic way after his passing, and the heartbreak of expecting something extraordinary while missing the miraculous appearing in the ordinary.

• The language of spirit: symbolism, pattern, feeling

A quiet teaching moment on how spirit conserves its energy, how corporeal manifestations are rare, and why the subtle paths of synchronicity are often the truest forms of communication.

• Butterflies, Australia, and a window that became a portal

A butterfly that shouldn’t have been there.

A window shaped like a dream.

A symbol appearing again and again until its meaning could no longer be ignored.

• The automatic writing session & the honesty of being not-okay

Before the butterfly arrived, Chandra shares a moment of true vulnerability, an automatic writing session where she told her team, her deities, her higher self, and the universe:

“I am lost.”

This episode emphasizes that spiritual bypassing is never the path, honoring our shadows is.

• The Bookstore Incident, a moment of absolute synchronicity

After searching every shelf for The Haunting of Hill House, a book tied to memory, lineage, and story. Chandra meets two warm, glowing souls. One, who at the door, just happens to have that exact book in her hands.

A moment that stopped time.

A moment that carried her Poppow’s voice.

• The guiding influence of Heather and Imogine

Two luminous souls whose work with shamans in Mongolia and their etheric alignment practices brought profound clarity, courage, and initiation into Chandra’s life. Heather and Imogine’s presence is honored for the way they helped her step into her path with boldness and reverence.

• Jung, synchronicity, and the poetry of the unseen

A reflection on Jung’s “acausal connecting principle,” and how spirit uses patterns to write meaning into our lives without bending the laws of physics.

• Ethical mediumship: reverence over performance

Chandra explains why mediumship in its highest form isn’t showmanship, but an honoring of archetypal language, psychology, and soul connection.

Nicholas’ reflections woven throughout

Nicholas brings grounding, reflection, and the perspective of someone witnessing these synchronicities in real time. His voice is integrated in breaks throughout the episode as a reflective companion on this path.

🔹 Themes & Takeaways

Spirit whispers; it rarely shouts.

Signs become clearer when we stop demanding spectacle.

Synchronicity is conversation, not coincidence.

Love is a language older than words.

Jungian Shadow work is sacred, and admitting “I’m lost” is a form of devotion.

Mediumship is psychological, archetypal & energetic, not theatrical.

We are never alone in the dialogue between soul and source.

Please listen with care and at your own pace. If these topics bring up difficult emotions, you are not alone, and help is available.

In this deeply reflective and energy-rich episode, Chandra and Nicholas open a dialogue between psychology, spirituality, and the unseen.

Using The Haunting of Hill House as a symbolic framework, they explore the parallels between haunting and trauma, frequency and emotion, and healing and remembrance.

Together, they unravel what it means when a space, or a soul, becomes haunted, and how forgiveness, resonance, and acknowledgment can transmute even the darkest vibrations into coherence and peace.

Inspired by Shirley Jackson’s classic novel “The Haunting of Hill House”, and Mike Flanagan’s hauntingly human adaptation, Chandra and Nicholas explore what it truly means to be haunted, by trauma, memory, and energy itself. This is a journey through psychology, mysticism, and the frequencies that shape our healing.

Listeners will learn:

How trauma echoes like residual energy in the body and in physical spaces. The link between the nervous system, frequency, and emotion. What it means to “retune” energy fields through awareness and reiki. Why forgiveness is not forgetting, but reclaiming energy.

How to hold space for the parts of self that still whisper in the dark. This is not a ghost story. It’s a story of remembering. A reminder that you are both the house and the light that fills it.

“Every tear unshed becomes a whisper in the walls. When we learn to listen, those whispers become wisdom.” — Chandra

In this episode of The Thinning Veil, we explore the story of Dana, a woman who moved into a rental with her young son, Jared, only to find herself face-to-face with spirits, tragedy, and something darker. From child ghosts to a parasitic entity that escalated into oppression and possession, Dana’s experience highlights why cleansings, banishings, and blessings don’t always work, and why they sometimes make things worse.

Together we examine:

Why some rituals fail across cultures when mixed without discernment.

What it means to be “jumped,” “oppressed,” and the real stages of possession beyond Hollywood myths.

The role of shadow psychology, trauma, and projection in hauntings.

Cross-cultural tools like brick dust, eggshells, tar water, and where they help, or harm.

Why healing, ethics, and integration must be the cornerstone of paranormal intervention.

A full ethical healing plan for Dana’s case and what could have been done differently.

This isn’t about survivor-shaming, it’s about illumination. Healing must always come first, for the living, the dead, and even the land itself.

🔮 Your Brave Soul offers ethical mediumship, spiritual psychology, and paranormal intervention that prioritizes healing above fear.
