Guest: Laura Lynne Jackson, Psychic Medium and Author

Main Theme and Purpose

This episode of On Purpose brings back celebrated psychic medium Laura Lynne Jackson, exploring the profound topic of guidance—how to recognize signs from the universe, cultivate intuition, and feel supported by what Jackson calls our “Team of Light.” Building on her new book, Guided, Laura offers listeners accessible practices for deepening spiritual trust and surrendering control, especially when feeling lost or grappling with skepticism.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

Introduction to Guidance and “Team of Light”

[03:23]

• Jay Shetty sets the stage by asking what listeners might overcome if they truly applied Laura’s insights.
• Laura describes how releasing fear and doubt about spiritual guidance unlocks “magical experiences beyond what we could dream.”
  • “There’s a little bit of a surrender that goes on to the trusting of being guided by our teams of light on the other side.” [03:44]

Defining the “Team of Light”

[05:26]

• Laura’s “Team of Light” has three parts:

  1. God Energy: Universal force of love, forgiveness, gratitude.
  2. Spirit Guides: Unseen mentors (sometimes called guardian angels) contracted before this life to guide us through “Earth School.”
  3. Loved Ones: Anyone we’ve loved who has crossed over, including pets and ancestors, guiding us daily.

• Jay shares a personal anecdote about feeling guidance from someone he'd never met, illustrating the Team of Light’s reach.

  • “I’ve always believed we can be mentored by people we’ve never met.” [12:47]

The Difference Between Receiving Signs and Living Guided

[04:32]

• Laura’s books follow a progression:
  • The Light Between Us: The truth of our interconnectedness
  • Signs: How to ask for, recognize, and trust communication from beyond
  • Guided: The transformation that happens when you follow those signs
  • “Guidance is what happens when you trust those signs... That’s when the magic happens.” [04:57]

Overcoming Skepticism and Self-Doubt

[14:09]

• Jay probes how analytical thinking and societal conditioning distance us from intuitive wisdom.
  • Our “frontal lobe” training suppresses non-physical experience, favoring logic and skepticism.
• Laura reassures that skepticism is a natural starting point, and that “testing” spiritual experience is normal, but “the magic happens when you begin to truly trust it.” [17:02]
  • “The more you just keep testing it, the more you open to it... When you get to the point where you truly trust it, your life shifts and transforms.” [16:59]

Dealing with Life’s Difficult Moments

[19:02]

• For those feeling lost or in pain, Laura counsels setting an intentional, humble request for guidance.
  • “The most important thing we can do in those moments is set an intention to be guided. We can surrender to the other side.” [19:57]
• Even times of darkness can signal we are on path; they’re not always detours or mistakes.

Recognizing and Interpreting Signs

[25:43]

• Jay shares the parable of the man waiting to be saved by God, missing boats and helicopters sent to rescue him. “What about the signs that show up in the way you didn’t ask for them?”
• Laura explains signs are an ongoing “collaborative language”; we must watch for guidance in every form—license plates, encounters, songs, dreams, or even serendipitous social media.
  • “The universe is giving us invitations all the time, but if we don’t have our minds and our hearts open, we miss them.” [25:58]

Intuition vs. Monkey Mind

[27:06]

• Laura: Intuitive information arrives neutrally, without emotional turmoil, and is characterized by calm clarity (claircognizance).

  • “Intuition... never comes with emotion. It comes very neutrally. It arrives as a knowing.” [27:23]

• Anxiety, self-doubt, or fear originate from the “monkey mind”—not your higher self or the other side.

• Jay’s 3 rules for distinguishing intuition vs. mind [35:25]:

  1. Mind is loud; intuition is quiet.
  2. Mind is directive and limiting; intuition is open.
  3. Mind motivates through fear; intuition motivates with peace and love.

Practices for Reconnection

[31:18], [38:11]

• Build a practice of breathwork to reconnect to spiritual self.
• Laura recommends simple, silent walks in nature (walking meditations) as moments when intuition grows stronger.
• Everyday activities like showering, sleeping, driving, or doing chores often bring through guidance when the monkey mind is distracted.
  • “So many have told me their states of connection happen accidentally during a shower... or during sleep; the side is always looking for moments to show us their presence.” [40:24]

The Four “Clairs” (Psychic Senses)

[44:49]

• Clairvoyance: Clear seeing (inner visions, dream imagery)

• Clairaudience: Clear hearing (thoughts/words arriving “to” rather than “from” you)

• Claircognizance: Clear knowing (intuitive downloads, giving good advice)

• Clairsentience: Clear feeling (energetic impressions, emotional empathy)

• Laura urges listeners to trust and act on gentle intuitions, even if it’s as simple as texting someone you’re thinking of them.

  • “You tug on one end, the other person feels it. The greatest way we can honor living a guided life is when we get those moments—to act on them.” [74:21]

Surrender vs. Control in Life

[58:31], [60:22]

• We often judge experiences by outcome, instead of intention or alignment.
• Signs are not always answers—they’re reassurance we are beloved and on path.
• The importance of clear, open-ended questions when seeking guidance: “Is this on my highest path right now?” instead of “Is this the one?”
• Endeavor and surrender are collectively necessary; the universe reciprocates what you’re ready to receive.
  • “It’s a co-creation together... Showing up as the best version of ourselves, challenging only ourselves to be kinder and look at the world with gratitude.” [63:58]

Sharing, Community, and Expanding Light

[68:47], [78:55]

• Laura’s “doorway” for guidance is open to all; no one needs a psychic medium, but must learn to trust themselves.
• Acts of kindness, intuition, or generosity shift energy for ourselves and others—sometimes powerfully (“Angels in each other’s lives”).
• Small acts—like Jay’s story of giving a friend a specific book, which turned out to have a significant sign—illustrate how we’re often used as conduits for each other’s guidance.

Reflection and Self-Awareness

[89:17]

• Laura recommends journaling or reflective writing on how experiences have grown you, to reveal and cement the presence of divine guidance in your journey.
