All this information is stored around you in layers of energy which as a psychic medium I can tune into by using my sixth senses and so much more. I feel, sense, see, taste, smell and hear your past lives, tune into your lifetime of experiences, see and hear your ancestral trauma and tune into the threads of your lifetime of experiences which brought you to me in the first place. All your thoughts and feelings are being played out in your physical vessel (the human body) which creates a energy field around you (aura) which in turn creates a ripple effect of energy which interacts with the quantum fields(your environment, home, work and relationships, even relationship with yourself) which effects your quantum mechanics and how you are showing up in the world. For example have you ever walked into a room and felt a sensation, a feeling of unhappiness, or a friendly warm feeling? it could be the residue of energy left behind by others who have occupied that space before you entered that room or the echo of energy left behind by a spirit. </p><p>Have you ever been property hunting or visited a friends home and noticed  the minute you walked through the door it was a instant No from your body or for me with my new home it felt like a giant warm hug, well these are great examples of you tapping into the quantum fields of energy as you maybe an empath or psychic and so it maybe easier for you to sense into. You maybe one of those people that complete strangers navigate too and open up to and tell you their entire life story because they feel as if they know you, it maybe because there is a similar resonance of energy which you both may of experienced before, this is all about energy. Have you ever met somebody and felt you have know them for years? It could be you have similar energies because of your life experiences or it could be you were meant to meet because of your destiny was meant to change. </p><p>It&#8217;s all about the co-ordinates of your soul journey and life mapping.</p><p>Do you ever find yourself cross checking constantly  your past experiences and worrying about future outcomes, this creates the observer effect which then changes and manipulates the energy outcome, the universe attracts like for like. If you observe the negativity in your life you then create more of the same effect and the perfect environment for it to thrive in but if you are able to reframe those past and present events and experiences it begins to change the effect of energy around you and so in turn your future predictions. As a psychic I tune into the energy of what I am feeling, seeing, sensing from your ripple effects of energy and so I can predict the outcome of the situation from your stand point of energy now but I can also see other possibilities too especially if there is a slight mind shift, its all about the co-ordinates of your soul journey and life mapping.</p><p>You can change your future predictions depending on your vision of your reality of what you are processing right now and that is how I work with my clients. I could see the patterns and cycles of her abusive partners with this particular client just like the other psychics did too but today was different I showed her of other possibilities mapped out for her if she made some small changes. As a medium during her first session her auntie stepped forward and showed me a potential partner but first we needed to work together as a qualified counsellor and coach to tweak a couple of changes.</p><p>Eight years on my client married her soulmate and has 2 children now, a big difference from experiencing miscarriages and abortions. Occasionally from time to time this client still checks in with me to navigate her souls journey because sometimes the world is a noisy place and sometimes it&#8217;s hard to hear your higher-self and guides. </p><p>As a teacher I show my students how to work with the energy of others and how to train in this field as an psychic medium and as a coach and therapist I show my clients how to change and navigate their lives. </p><p></p><p></p><p> </p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Is A.I terminating freespeech]]></title><description><![CDATA[3 strikes and your OUT!!!! says YouTube, who's voices are they terminating or what information do they not want us to hear?]]></description><link>https://annebayford.substack.com/p/ai-is-terminating-freespeech</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://annebayford.substack.com/p/ai-is-terminating-freespeech</guid><pubDate>Wed, 29 Apr 2026 14:35:45 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!o8wv!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F834a08d3-51ba-437d-9038-5534fc5e37df_1289x1207.heic" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I died 3 times and I experienced another world, now another YouTube channel has been taken down because of what they shared with humanity.

My recent interviews by other podcasters have been taken down as they were predictions of what is to come regarding financial crisis and governmental changes to our planet and I have even mentioned during trance channeling about American politics, aliens and so much more, no wonder they have they have disappeared.

to our feelings and the importance of embracing discomfort for personal growth.</p><p>*The Role of Discomfort in Growth**: during part of my recent teachings to my students in class I introduce a profound topic about the necessity of feeling discomfort. Drawing on insights from a client, I explore how current global tensions, such as wars and social injustices, can evoke deep, often uncomfortable feelings. The unpredictability of emotions in response to external circumstances. I look at the importance of recognizing how these feelings manifest in our bodies and how they connect to our experiences and how these emotions should not be avoided but rather embraced as part of our personal soul journey. &#8220;Your soul is here for a reason; you have to travel through those emotions and feelings that rise to the surface.&#8221;</p><p>*Witnessing Our Feelings* I urge my students to listen to bear witness to their emotions without judgment. This idea of witnessing one&#8217;s feelings resonates deeply in today&#8217;s world where many feel overwhelmed by news and global crises. &#8220;It is for you to engage with emotions. It&#8217;s not for you to avoid or disassociate from those feelings that arise at any given time.&#8221; This call to action encourages individuals to reflect on their emotional responses and what they reveal about their personal journeys, after all we are as souls meant to be experiencing the human experience not just as an observer.</p><p>*Navigating Change and Ascension,* discomfort often accompanies personal evolution. &#8220;When you&#8217;re going through difficult times, you are actually ascending,&#8221; this perspective reframes challenges as opportunities for growth and deeper awareness, inviting my students to reflect on their own experiences and the lessons they offer. It&#8217;s a powerful reminder of the importance of embracing our emotions, especially during turbulent times. By bearing witness to our own feelings and understanding their roots, we can navigate the complexities of our emotional lives more effectively. As we engage with discomfort, we open ourselves up to growth and transformation.</p><p>This may help.</p><p>- Embrace discomfort as a pathway to personal growth.</p><p>- Recognize and witness your emotions without judgment.</p><p>- Understand that global events can impact individual feelings and experiences, the global chaos affects our emotions and psyche, it&#8217;s crucial to witness these feelings and understand their impact on your body and soul, they are part of your personal growth journey.</p><p>1. Ever felt like the world is moving on without you?</p><p>2. What emotions are surfacing for you right now?</p><p>3. Are you feeling tired and overwhelmed?</p><p>4. How do you cope with these feelings?</p><p>5. Do you ever feel like you&#8217;re living in two different worlds?</p><blockquote><p></p></blockquote>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understanding Empaths]]></title><description><![CDATA[Navigating Sensitivity in a Chaotic World]]></description><link>https://annebayford.substack.com/p/understanding-empaths</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://annebayford.substack.com/p/understanding-empaths</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anne Bayford Psychic Medium]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Fri, 20 Mar 2026 14:41:12 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!dszE!,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2Fb20b9020-3946-4d18-b102-71465c66b80a_1289x1730.heic" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p></p><p> Learning how to manage your sensitivity as an empath in today&#8217;s tumultuous environment. Discover practical strategies for self-care and energy management.</p><p>As the world evolves and becomes increasingly chaotic, many individuals find themselves grappling with heightened emotions and sensitivities. This post will explore the unique experiences of empaths, particularly how they can navigate their sensitivities and manage their energy effectively in a world filled with noise and turmoil. With insights and strategies, we will delve into what it means to be an empath and how to thrive in these challenging times.</p><p>## What Is an Empath?</p><p>Empaths are individuals who possess a heightened sensitivity to the emotions and energies around them. This sensitivity allows them to deeply understand and resonate with others&#8217; feelings, making them incredibly compassionate and intuitive. However, being an empath can also be overwhelming, particularly in a world filled with conflict and negativity.</p><p>### The Role of Empaths in Today&#8217;s World</p><p>In today&#8217;s society, empaths play a crucial role as they help to hold space for others and bring awareness to collective emotions. They often find themselves absorbing the energies of their surroundings, which can lead to emotional exhaustion if not managed properly. It is important to recognise these aspects of being an empath, especially in times of global strife.</p><p>## Strategies for Managing Empath Sensitivity</p><p>To thrive as an empath, it&#8217;s essential to implement strategies that help manage sensitivity and prevent emotional burnout. Below are some effective techniques:</p><p>### 1. **Energy Hygiene**  </p><p>Understanding and maintaining energy hygiene is vital for empaths. This involves being mindful of the energies you absorb and consciously releasing those that do not serve you. Regular practices like meditation, grounding exercises, and visualization can help cleanse your energy field.</p><p>### 2. **Nature Connection**  </p><p>Spending time in nature can significantly recharge an empath&#8217;s energy. Whether it&#8217;s soaking up sunlight or immersing oneself in the ocean, natural elements can help neutralise negative energy. I suggest finding what energises you personally, whether it be sunlight, water, or even simply fresh air.</p><p>### 3. **Utilising Crystals and Tools**  </p><p>Crystals can be powerful allies for empaths. Each type of crystal has different properties that can help in grounding and protecting energy. Carrying certain crystals can assist in absorbing negative energies and maintaining balance throughout the day.</p><p>### 4. **Setting Boundaries**  </p><p>Learning to set emotional boundaries is crucial for empaths. This may involve saying no to situations that feel overwhelming or distancing oneself from toxic environments. It&#8217;s important to prioritize personal well-being and not feel guilty about taking time for self-care.</p><p>## The Importance of Self-Care for Empaths</p><p>Self-care is not just a luxury for empaths; it is a necessity. Regularly engaging in activities that nurture your soul can help restore balance and prevent emotional fatigue. Here are some self-care tips to incorporate into your routine:</p><p>- **Journaling:** Reflecting on feelings and experiences can bring clarity and help process emotions.</p><p>- **Mindfulness Practices:** Techniques such as yoga and meditation can help center your mind and body.</p><p>- **Creative Outlets:** Engaging in artistic activities can be a therapeutic way to express emotions and release pent-up energy.</p><p>## Key Takeaways for Empaths</p><p>Being an empath in today&#8217;s world requires awareness, self-care, and proactive energy management. By understanding the challenges of being sensitive, empaths can develop practical strategies to thrive rather than just survive. Remember, your sensitivity is a gift that allows you to connect deeply with others, but it also requires careful nurturing and protection.</p><p>I feel the &#8220;Empaths hold the world accountable,&#8221; and it is essential for you to take care of yourself to continue supporting those around you.  </p><p>By implementing the strategies discussed, you can maintain your energy while being a source of light for others.   </p><p># What are the signs of being an empath?  </p><p>Empaths often feel overwhelmed in crowded places, have a deep sense of compassion for others, and may experience physical symptoms when around negative energy.  </p><p></p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img" target="_blank"

Why am I scrolling through the pages of my childhood memories at 3am&#8230;.. and there it was a voice from one of my guides &#8220;because you don&#8217;t make time during the day, your world is a noisy busy place and you need to pause occasionally, you need to empty out the trash can and update some emotional software&#8221; I could now feel myself slapping my forehead just like the emoji sign from my phone, of course my guide was right.</p><p>It feels like the moment you pick up a book from the library or a bookshop and you see the spine of the book cover with a headline title that just pulls you in as your intrigued by the adventures of what&#8217;s to come by losing yourself in the title. You slide the book from the shelf and now you have it in your hands like a golden chalice of mystery or the Big red book from the T.V program &#8220;THIS IS YOUR LIFE&#8221; (hosted by Eamonn Andrews 1960s) honestly I can&#8217;t believe I even remember the guys name, I wish I had remembered my school work during my exams back in the day but here I am remembering this useless piece of information. You begin to flick through the chapters and pages to see what tantalising gossip or mystery the book provides you with to break up the hum drum of your life and there it is within the chapters of your life it all emerges at 3am in the morning.</p><p>Nothing makes sense at this time of day and I&#8217;m just amazed how I&#8217;m remembering the intricacies of what happened over 46 years ago when I can&#8217;t even remember what I had for dinner the night before. Its as if I&#8217;m holding my journal in my hand and tentatively feeling into the pages of something very personal, its as if I feel its private and I&#8217;m asking myself should I actually be reading it at all. Im left wondering is this how it feels when your standing in the akashic records when your having a life revive with your spiritual team I ask myself. I should know as I have died a couple of times and for those wondering, yes it does but this time Im fully awake!</p><p></p><p>I can feel my nose pressing up against the wet cold bus window. I had just rubbed and squeaked the condensation off with my fingers and just made a spy hole for myself to see through the window pain but annoyingly now my breath keeps steaming it up again. I remember hearing the bus conductor calling out &#8220;ticket please!&#8221; as he marched along the top deck of the bus, you could hear his shoes with the thick rubber soles against the wooden slates in the floor. Once he finished collecting fares and handing out tickets he briskly walked past me and I remember hearing him whizzing down the curved stairs at the back of the bus as if he was sliding down the curvy metal hand rail.  I was siting at the back of the bus on the top floor of the old red route master travelling through central London. It was a rainy cold grey day and I remember it well, as I bring it to mind I can smell that wet damp newspaper smell that you get when you do papier mace and build models with as a kid or fill your shoes with newspaper to dry them out when they are soaking wet, well we used to do that as a kid back in the day. The smell of sodden wet brollies dripping onto the wooden slatted floor, the rain water moving within the slats as the bus rolls backwards and forwards in traffic on the top deck of the 159 bus or was it the 49 bus route.?</p><p>I remember that feeling of feeling lost, I just didn&#8217;t want anyone to see me because I felt if I got caught I would be in trouble and I got the impression the bus conductor knew this too. I remember wishing I had an invisible cloak the one just like in Harry Potter the movie, wait a minute&#8230;. Im now thinking Im feeling more like Harry Potter especially with the bus scene when he gets picked up by the tall purple bus as he runs away from home, the bus that shrinks through traffic and speeds up and slows down through time. Wait a minute maybe when I was 11 years old over 46 years ago, I was creating that character for J.K Rowling or maybe she lived a similar experience of escaping too.?</p><p> The conductor just passed me by and I knew he saw me but he asked no questions I felt he was part of my spy team like Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible with Simon Pegg as my back up team and he knew I was undercover, well that&#8217;s what I wanted to believe and that&#8217;s my story and I&#8217;m sticking to it. I remember feeling I didn&#8217;t want to be found that day and I remember thinking if the school inspector caught me I would be in big trouble, a bit like in the movie in Chitty Chitty bang bang with Dick Van Dkye with the child catcher who entices the local naive children of a local village, where he lures them with tasty tantalising sweets and then cages them and drags them away to prison or dungeons or something else more frightening, come on I&#8217;m only 11 at this point and so that was my reality.</p><p> I could feel my coat was heavy and wet and it smelled like old wet dog, I loved my coat I had picked it up from a jumble sale for 10p, they were the good old days. I remember thinking I looked fashionable as my music icons were Suzi Quatro, Adam Ant, Duran Duran and Spandau Ballet at that time and this old tweed thigh length coat with the collar up made me feel so special even though it probably originally belonged to an  80 year old man but that was the look back then. I felt I could take on the world with it and hide, as I&#8217;m writing this I can remember so well how I felt.</p><p>I remember looking out through the bus window and hearing the pull cord bell being rung as it was pulled down and then flicked up against the lower bus roof deck. The bus conductor shouted upstairs &#8220;Piccadilly, next stop Piccadilly Circus,&#8221; I didn&#8217;t care where I was as long as I&#8217;m not at school or home. I continued looking out of the window and remember peering through the condensation on the window and seeing her mother holding her hand and laughing and kissing her daughter on the cheek. I remember feeling with great sadness in my heart why could I not feel that just for a brief second. I imaged in my mind what her mother would be saying to her daughter right now, they had just appeared from nowhere I could see them as my bus halted to a stop in traffic. There was a black taxi rank lining up outside this humungous shop that looked so fancy, I now know it to be Fortum &amp; Masons, the mother and daughter looked so happy swinging their arms as they carried these fancy duck egg blue bags filled with chocolates in, they called a taxi and jumped in. </p><p>This store played a huge part in my later part of my life as an adult especially when I worked in London as a psychic medium I would often loose myself in the chocolate department. I would finish working at The College of Psychic Studies in South Kensington and march my way up to Mayfair to Fortum &amp; Masons. By the end of each day I felt I was going to drop emotionally and energetically as I normally had heavy case loads of clients and often murders or suicides or viewing violence of some kind. I would walk 50 minutes to Hyde park from South Kensington through Knightsbridge and then up to Mayfair to claim my chocolates it sounds like a expedition with me conquering and me planting a flag at the top of some summit like Mount Everest, but believe me after walking in heels for 50 minutes I felt I deserved those chocolates. </p><p> Over the years the staff knew me so well, the doorman dressed with a top hat and bright red long tail penguin suit would open the door for me and usher me in through the main entrance. I felt special just like the Queen, each doorman would welcome me in with a warm gesture and directing me in with a tip of the brim of his hat and saying good afternoon Mrs Bayford which at that time I didn&#8217;t wish to be rude as I was a miss but it felt so lovely to be noticed and I felt of importance to somebody out there in the world. As I walked in I would always feel this warm glow feeling in my heart feeling like I was special, a bit like the moment when Willy Wonkier from the movie Charlie and The Chocolate Factory gave Charlie his factory to keep and live in. Now I know that wasn&#8217;t exactly happening to me but to stand in front of the chocolate counter in Fortune &amp; Masons in London that was the closet I was ever going to get to the movie and I will take that thank you very much. The smell hits you first, full of sugar and coco beans as you walk through the front doors and the shininess of the glass counters and chrome, the staff would line up behind the glass eagerly waiting to take your order. Every single piece of chocolate handmade, there are no amount of words that I can explain that will do it any justice you must try for yourself to experience the delight on your taste buds.</p><p>Years later I had my own deja vu moment as I walked with my daughter outside of Fortune &amp; Masons, swinging our posh duck egg blue drawstring bags full up with expensive handmade chocolates. I felt my heart was full of love and then it hit me like a ton of weight, I burst into tears, I couldn&#8217;t stop myself I was sobbing, it didn&#8217;t look pleasant and to the embarrassment of my 24 year old daughter she asked &#8220;mum what are you doing silly?&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m so happy to be here with you buying chocolates at my favourite shop and as an old red route master bus drove by my mind felt as if the universe had lined it all up titling its wide brimmed top hat to me.</p><p>Years later as a counsellor it all made sense to me my emotional journey with chocolate and the hole it filled within me. Over the many years of unhappiness chocolate and Fortune &amp; Masons became my home. When I left London 2 years ago to move to the countryside I wondered if I would ever feel special again, that&#8217;s when I realised I no longer needed to escape. I had finally woken up to my toxic relationship with their father and freed myself and then had a clearer understanding of  why the universe had brought us together and how our soul contract needed to play out. Rebuilding my life has had its ups and downs and I learned I never want to loose myself ever</p><div class="captioned-image-container"><figure><a class="image-link image2 is-viewable-img"

I feel I&#8217;m being pulled in so many different directions and then I hear this voice from my spiritual team telling me to stay as an open channel, &#8220;step aside Anne let us communicate through you.&#8221; By my client asking for forgiveness they are not taking any responsibility for their own actions and so NO!! they are not learning and so NO!!  they are not granted a pardon from God or Divine source. Thank goodness for my spiritual team of helpers, I just need to remember to get out of my own way.</p><p>Im not here to ok your affair because you want to sleep ok tonight.</p><p> I must set aside my own emotions and morals, nobody told me that when I originally  trained as a professional medium over 22 years ago that some day a client would ask God/divine source to forgive them as they had strayed several times during their marriage because of their sexual urges.</p><p>There are no short cuts, our souls came here to learn certain lessons about our soul journey, it&#8217;s up to us to learn to navigate through it and why we choose to live a lifestyle. </p><p>The clue is in the terminology &#8220;freewill&#8221; You choose how to live your life and maybe me having a rant here is also about me choosing the work I do. </p><p>You may even ask why do I feel so frustrated with this particular issue right now, well let me offload, it maybe because for the last 2 months I have been working on a cold case and a recent murder of a child and it has been emotional, especially as Im feeling into the circumstances leading up to the moment of death and so I&#8217;m witnessing through the heart, soul and eyes of the child and mother. Im holding the space for the 11 year old on the other side as she needs to understand where she is and to call in her grandmother to help her to heal.</p><p>It&#8217;s normal for me to experience days like this especially as I often see complicated cases, I was literally born to do this work, my master numbers are 22, 33, 11 &amp; 7.</p><p></p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[My body is holding me accountable]]></title><description><![CDATA[Thank god she's back]]></description><link>https://annebayford.substack.com/p/my-body-is-holding-me-accountable</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://annebayford.substack.com/p/my-body-is-holding-me-accountable</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anne Bayford Psychic Medium]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 19 Feb 2026 15:13:53 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RUSj!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c1b09e5-8469-4531-b9c3-6f855e048add_786x786.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If only I knew my body was screaming out trauma would I have treated myself any differently over the years, would it have made my life any better? </p><p>Would I of cared for myself more, probably not, have I been hiding away from what was the reality then or was it just a coping mechanism for survival. </p><p>First day back with my pilates teacher and already my body is screaming and oozing out of my joints emotions, floods of tears and more emotions and pain. Who would of thought that pilates would be the form of torture that would unlocked years of abuse. There is this book I have read many times as a counsellor and therapist and I have worked with hundreds of clients over the years helping them with this subject,  &#8220;The Body Keeps The Score,&#8221; I&#8217;m realising my body has done a fantastic job of holding onto keeping score. There is a belief which is reassuring that once you feel you are living in a safe environment then your ready body will release and let go off any emotions and stored trauma you let go off, that&#8217;s brilliant but Im 57 years old and I thought I had released it all before now but instead my pelvis is reliving my childhood, my children&#8217;s births and my car crash to my pelvis when the van smashed into my body and where I died the first time. </p><p>Somewhere in my brain my therapist mind is telling me this is a good sign, Anne you are ready to let go of the trauma and another part of my mind is saying for goodness sake I didn&#8217;t even realise it was still there and now the floodgates are opening. A thought just came into my mind, I often share my near death experience where my heart stopped for 6 mins and Im sprawled out across the road like a disheveled pancake and I experienced beings (angels) around me and showing me information about my life and the past lives I have experienced and how somehow somewhere it all will make sense and in this lifetime as Anne I will be able to surrender all the many past life traumas and emotions too. I know as a past life practitioner I have sat with many clients and helped them to release ancestral and past life wounds but yet I&#8217;m here sitting at my kitchen table sobbing and annoyed with myself.</p><p>I have to remember not to be too hard on myself as this a golden opportunity to fully embrace my emotions and to know it is safe to release, unlike as it has been in the past as a child rocking myself in the corner of my bedroom or sitting dazed on the sofa as my ex partner just couldn&#8217;t respond or just hold my space for me. I felt safe now as the adult, I had bought my own house, I&#8217;m financially independent, Im now in a loving supported relationship, I no longer feel I have to hold everything in, the image which comes to mind is trying to keep a float in a shark infested ocean with them circling you just sizing up the opportunity to take a bite of you and me haemorrhaging.</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dying saved me!!]]></title><description><![CDATA[I could to see my body as I looked down at the crash team.]]></description><link>https://annebayford.substack.com/p/dying-saved-me</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://annebayford.substack.com/p/dying-saved-me</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anne Bayford Psychic Medium]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 26 Jan 2026 15:49:10 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RUSj!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c1b09e5-8469-4531-b9c3-6f855e048add_786x786.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I shall never forget the day I stepped out in front of the van driver who changed my life for forever.</p><p>It started off like any other day, as a mother of two young children rushing around trying to get them washed and dressed for school while juggling feeding the cat and dogs, preparing in my head dinner for later while brushing my teeth, dam toothpaste dribbling down my work blouse again, no time to change. Herding them both into the car for school I could hear myself mumbling &#8220;something has to change, something has to change&#8221; and there it was! that was the moment the universe must of heard my thoughts.</p><p>Be careful what you wish for because your life may change forever, we manifest all the time without a second thought and the universe can&#8217;t tell the difference between what you do want and what you don&#8217;t.</p><p>I kissed them both on their little foreheads at the school gates and ushered them into school, &#8220;sorry no time for cuddles I am going to miss my train&#8221; I turned and waved to my 5 year old son Nathan and Rebecca who was 7 going on 30. Rebecca grabbed Nathans hand and turned into his face and said &#8220;come on Nathan mummy will see us later&#8221; As I sit here writing my eyes have pools of tears, Im feeling every emotion of that moment once again, how can I still be carrying this guilt after 24 years. Who knew that was going to be the last time I would see them. Who knew it was going to take me two years before I could drive them again to school. Who knew the night before I died was the last time I would read to them again in bed, the giggles before lights went out, it took me a whole year to walk up the stairs to bed. I was broken emotionally and physically my foot was broken in 7 places, my ankle ripped out of its socket, torn ligaments and nerve damage, broken knee, hip and fractured ribs. Our life changed, our little bubble of joy between my children and I, took on a different shape but not their fathers, it was as if life still evolved around him and his needs, the only difference was that day&#8230;.. My son never forgets that day I never came to pick him and Rebecca up from school. They waited and waited &#8230; &#8220;Dad wasn&#8217;t even crying Mum&#8221; said Nathan, it felt like a lifetime before I could return home from hospital to see their little faces once again. Nathan is now 29 year old man as I write this and he still remembers it so well and now he is a father of his own son.</p><p>It had been a productive day at work and I remember waving goodbye to everyone from the office. As I left the community centre I could hear the piano playing and a rowdy crowd of 70-80 years bellowing out &#8220;we meet again&#8230;. don&#8217;t know where&#8230;. don&#8217;t know when&#8230;. but I know we will meet again some sunny day&#8221; This was a well know song sung during the war saying goodbye to their loved ones and waiting for them to return safely after their battles, the irony!!! &#8220;BYE ANNIE see you tomorrow&#8221; shouted out a couple of the old dears.</p><p>I turned the corner and reached the crossing and again my mind was circling around as I was rushing to catch the train, post a letter, buy a newspaper for the boring stuffy train journey home and thinking about what food I could give the children once I pick them up from school, blah, blah&#8230;.. The road was safe to cross as I checked both ways the traffic light was green, &#8220;right lets go!!!&#8221; I said in my mind, newspaper or post letter? and then I heard a voice &#8220;buy the newspaper&#8221; the voice seemed familiar, it was my nans voice!!!! that was impossible she died when I was 15, I&#8217;m 37 now!!</p><p>The police later said &#8220;if you had walked straight across the road you would of died instantly and head straight through the vans windscreen but you are lucky you bounced off the van at 40mph and yes you did die but your back so you should be grateful&#8221;GRATEFUl are you serious!!!! I actually had died several times that day and experience a number of out of body experiences.</p><p>I didn&#8217;t feel cold even though it was in March, it was a beautiful crispy cold sunny day around 2.30pm, I didn&#8217;t feel anything. The paramedic arrived on a motor bike and I could see him hovering over someone in the road, her torso looked displayed out just like how a butterfly looks when it has its wings pinned out in a display cabinet, weird shape I thought. I was looking down at the spectators looming around where they were trying not to look but their curiosity got the better of them. I recognised some of the individuals in the gathering and I felt myself feeling their sadness, why did they feel so sad and fearful. I just wasn&#8217;t there, I had no idea who they were looking at, I had not recognise myself sprawled across the tarmac in the bus lane in the road.</p><p>I could feel this warm bright light surround me, I could hear beings talking to me I can&#8217;t call them humans because they didn&#8217;t look human. I felt safe, warm and no pain, it was a place I had never experience before, I certainly wasn&#8217;t in Kansas anymore and I didn&#8217;t even have a dog called toto to experience this with, where was I? They spoke and they told me &#8220;You are in the Hall of Souls&#8221;</p><p>The ambulance arrived and now I could feel myself on the stretcher and the severe pain of my broken ribs, hip, knee and foot. I had landed back into my body after the defibrillator had abruptly started my heart. The most strangest experience of feeling my soul being pulled back into my body, it had felt like a waterslide with me swirling around at high speed falling back into my body just like the feeling you feel when you jump in your sleep, have you ever felt that before?</p><p>I had episodes of hearing the sirens from within the ambulance and then experiencing looking down and seeing bold capital letters and numbers on the roof. I could see the London traffic as we wizzed off up Islington high street and turning left at the Angel tube station in London and racing along the main road to the hospital. I felt I was battling to hold on to my body like a Kite in a storm, I could hear the machines monitoring my heart in the ambulance and then feeling I was whizzing around like a kite outside. later I was witnessing the crash team trying to keep me alive while my kidneys and spleen where leaking out blood. I could feel the sheer adrenaline in the crash room as they were trying to keep me alive, three teams of medical staff trying to battle with death. I could hear and see machines, cables and drips like tentacles dangling around my body, x-rays, heart machines, you name it it was like watching a T.V hospital drama and Im actually staring in the lead role which I never remembered auditioning for. I remember looking down at my body and hearing the voice of my mum saying as a kid &#8220;don&#8217;t forget to wear clean knickers because you never know what&#8217;s going to happen&#8221; I was laughing in my head because mum if you could see me now Im naked and I don&#8217;t even feel embarrassed, well I think I&#8217;m thinking or was I?</p><p>Where was I now? because I was looking down at my body and I knew I was no longer back in The Hall of Souls. I felt I was in between worlds. I was hovering over my body, so this is what they call an out of body experience I thought.</p><p>I remember standing in the hall of souls being told &#8220;YOU HAVE TO GO BACK!&#8221; It is so difficult describing exactly what it looked like and who I met on the other side. I felt totally at peace and in no pain, I didn&#8217;t want to return back to Earth. I was being shown so much information and why I had been born and my journey and what I had to do next.</p><p>And this is just the beginning&#8230;..because something did change!!!</p><p>My life changed forever.</p><p>And if you are wondering YES my mum came to see me in intensive care and the first thing she said was &#8230;&#8230;..</p>]]></content:encoded></item><item><title><![CDATA["Im awake!! stop calling my name!!"]]></title><description><![CDATA[Are you serious?? it felt as if I was featuring in the sixth sense movie with Bruce Wills.]]></description><link>https://annebayford.substack.com/p/im-awake-stop-calling-my-name</link><guid isPermaLink="false">https://annebayford.substack.com/p/im-awake-stop-calling-my-name</guid><dc:creator><![CDATA[Anne Bayford Psychic Medium]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 22 Jan 2026 19:00:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://substackcdn.com/image/fetch/$s_!RUSj!,w_256,c_limit,f_auto,q_auto:good,fl_progressive:steep/https%3A%2F%2Fsubstack-post-media.s3.amazonaws.com%2Fpublic%2Fimages%2F8c1b09e5-8469-4531-b9c3-6f855e048add_786x786.jpeg" length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s 3.33am, why are you waking me up again? this seriously has to stop!!&#8221;</p><p>I hate being woken up!!! </p><p> Life as a psychic medium, has its moments and its never a dull day. </p><p>&#8220;Anne, I have been murdered can you help?&#8221; I looked up and there she was holding her head and her clothes dishevelled, bless her. I politely  said &#8220;yes but not at 3.33am, this might sound uncompassionate but honestly it ain&#8217;t going to make any difference now, so lets make an appointment in the morning,&#8221; &#8220;ok no problem, sorry I woke you up.&#8221; I gently placed my head back onto the pillow and out of the corner of my eye I could now see there were a orderly queue forming of individuals waiting to talk to me while patiently queueing on the other side but I had to sleep, as I had worked on a cold case that day and I was absolutely knackered. </p><p>I often wonder if there is a phone directory of psychic mediums on the other side and those who end up there forget about timezones and automatically begin to dial up without thinking whether they are going to wake us up or not.</p><p>Apparently 3am is also know as the witching hour in folklore, where the veil is thinner and easier for supernatural occurrences to happen but to be honest mine have me on fast dial and think I&#8217;m open for work 24/7.</p><p>Have ever been woken up during the witching hour?</p><p></p>]]></content:encoded></item></channel></rss>
