Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Hello. I'm so happy to be here, Jim.
- [02:07]
Jim Alstatt
Well, thank you for making the time. I do appreciate it. Why don't you take a moment and let everyone know a little bit about your background?
- [02:14]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Well, in the spiritual world, I have been working with energy and divine beings and tarot cards and crystals and all that great fun stuff in sort of the metaphysical world for about 35 years. And. Yeah, and I retired from my career about six years ago. And a couple of years into my retirement after, you know, traveling and having a ball, I just really had this huge urge to come back and be what I essentially am is an energy healer. I love doing that with people. I love working with them. I get divine readings and we clear a lot of their blockages in their body and. And it's really quite enlightening.
- [03:01]
Jim Alstatt
Excellent.
- [03:02]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
And then fast forward I my business. I've evolved it to more one, to many. And now I'm teaching because my career was teaching. So I'm teaching more how to help people ascend, how to help people evolve.
- [03:17]
Jim Alstatt
Okay.
- [03:17]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah. Spiritual way.
- [03:19]
Jim Alstatt
Excellent. So I can't help but notice a little bit of an accent. Where are you located?
- [03:27]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I'm Canadian. I'm in Calgary, Alberta, which is just north of Montana. I'm snuggled in the Rocky Mountains.
- [03:36]
Jim Alstatt
Excellent. Well, isn't technology grand? I mean, the fact that we can talk to people all over the world is amazing to me. So let's go ahead and dive on in a little bit here because I know that your practice is really based on helping people get over that hump, the spiritual plateau. Why don't we talk a little bit about that and what's involved with it and actually what does it mean on a spiritual or metaphysical level when somebody hits a wall?
- [04:11]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I think what happens is, you know, people get into, you know, beautiful practices like yoga and positive affirmations and, you know, really trying to nurture their soul, trying to nurture body, trying to nurture their feelings. And this is part of I. Of their awakening, realizing, hey, there's something bigger than just what I see every day. There's something bigger within me than just this role I've been playing, you know, in my family and in my career. And they start to do these beautiful things and small shifts start to happen. But there gets to a point, I think, in their evolution. And I think it's very natural where they have. They have questions to. They need answers to so deeper life questions, like, why am I here? Really? Like, who am I sure, you know, what's the spiritualness, body part of me? You know, did I come from somewhere else? Like, what is my purpose here? And it's a beautiful time of natural progression to go deeper and deeper into why you're here, who you are, how the cosmos work, all that sort of exploration. And that's sort of like the next level up. And I say I work with people who have plateaued from the feeling good stage and having fun, experimenting with different things. And I did too. It's like spiritual kindergarten. You tried all different methods and traditions and practices. Yeah. To. Okay, I need to go deeper. I need to really know what's going on here. And that's what I went through myself too.
- [05:51]
Jim Alstatt
Okay, well, thank you. I was just as you were discussing it, and we're all energetic beings. Right. I'm wondering what happens what's that feeling energetically when somebody hits that plateau?
- [06:08]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
It is sort of like you said, we're, we're all energy. Even the physical part of us is just condensed energy. We have energy fields around our body. We have energetic, energetic centers and channels in our body. And I think what starts to happen when, when you're starting off and you're doing these things that are starting to open up energy channels in your body. So maybe you do some chakra clearing or maybe you go for a reiki session, or maybe you sit in meditation every morning. What happens is it starts to move out all energetic blocks and also starts to shift your mind in understanding a new reality. And our outer bodies, our subtle bodies, are consistent of include, I should say the mental and the emotional body. Those have to be really quite clear to get to our outer body, which is our spirit body. That's our soul connection. That's our room we go into when we want to work with our soul, when we want to work with divine beings. It's much clearer in there, let's put it that way. Okay, so now we have to work through mental stuff, we have to work through emotional stuff and. But on an energetic level, like from an energetic perspective, as opposed to traditional therapies.
- [07:25]
Jim Alstatt
Gotcha. Okay, so you had mentioned you've been doing this for 35 plus years. And through doing my research, I had seen that you had said that you were born with the sight. And you're saying. The thing that I found interesting was that you said born with the sight rather than awakening to those abilities. What was your childhood like then when you were able to see all these things that other people couldn't see or experience?
- [08:09]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
You know, and I think anyone else listening right now who had maybe the same childhood experiences, and there's many, they called us empathetic kids. Yeah, all that sort of stuff is. My dad said I used to walk around with knitted eyebrows all the time. And that was probably. I was trying to figure things out because I could see things, I could sense things, I could read people. But you don't know you're doing it. You just think that is just the information that's coming into your body. Right, right. And as a child, you can't process those things. And so I think I was just a little overloaded and I was very sensitive in that way. But yeah, I mean, my whole Irish side, you know, we're psychic. I mean, I know that seems to be a taboo word anymore, but I'm bringing it back. I'm making it sexy again. It's back. I'm bringing the word psychic back as opposed to, you know, intuitively. Yeah, sure. No, you're psychic, you know, and it's. And that means you just pick up on. On messages quite easily. So I had that wiring, and I think many people do. I had that wiring, and I'm here to help people bring that wiring back up to snuff so that they're able to channel as well. Yeah. So I think. I think. And then I think it really bothered me in my teens, because now I. It's not only. And this applies to everybody, and this is really something people need to think about, is we absorb energy like sponges. So if we're just this big ball of energy walking around in this world that's full of energy, and we walk by another person who's a big ball energy, we pick up their. Their energy in a shopping mall or we have an argument with somebody, then there's energy cords connecting to us, and we're picking up their energy. Imagine never clearing that out. And I think that's one of the biggest things out there in terms of people are confused or upset. They can't process things. Why am I feeling like this today? I was fine this morning, and I think as a child, and so by my teenage years, I was probably pretty overloaded of absorbing and absorbing. And then I just moved into, you know, drugs and alcohol. Not in my teens, in my early 20s. Right. Just numbing all that stuff until I was about 32. And I discovered all these beautiful spiritual practices and Eastern philosophy. And I went, wait a minute.
- [10:35]
Jim Alstatt
Well, I. I have a question for you, because I have a number of friends that are Irish Catholic and first and second generation here. I'm curious to know what your family thought about that, because I know how some of my friends. Families actually respond to even my. My podcast. It's not even that I'm bringing, you know, psychic abilities or, you know, any. Anything like that into the household, but just talking about having a podcast, they have a visceral response at times. So I'm curious to know what that was like in your family.
- [11:22]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Well, growing up, you know, from the Celtics, stem family area, all my. My grandmother and my aunts were all psychic openly. So it was a natural thing, really. So, yeah, they would. They. My dad would tell me stories when they're all growing up, you know, one of the sisters would wake up with a dream, and it always came true. So they'd listen to what they dreamt at nighttime. You know, my dad swears when he was A little kid, he saw the wee folk. So it's very, it was very normal. And they're in their Catholic as well. And so then in my growing up household, my mom had premonitions. She never really practice it, but she'd have these premonitions. And my dad was just, yeah, he, he was, it was very much part of our, our family. And I remember him did just say to me once when I started to explore spirituality maybe. Yeah, around early 30s, late late 20s. And he said, be careful kid, don't go too far. Meaning there is the whole dark side which I've come to learn about and how to protect yourselves. Because. Yeah, when you start to open yourself up like that, then you do attract and you can be manipulated. Yeah. So I just, I understand now what he meant then. But. And there's also black magic, which I'm not into any of that. I deal with the light, I deal with divine. That's my choice. I could go that way. I, you know, I could cast curses as if I wanted to. I do not do that because once you do that, you're attracting the same back to you.
- [12:50]
Jim Alstatt
Yeah, you know what, you kind of surprised me with that. I was actually thinking there was going to be a. Hey, don't talk about that. Don't, don't, don't say those things. But that's really fascinating to me that even then like growing up, it was accepted. You don't hear that very often, to be honest. That's, that's something. So I know that you have a new book coming out and some of the, the topics that are in the book itself. From our pre show conversation, you had mentioned divine ascension. So what I'd like you to do, if you don't mind, is talk about divine ascension or maybe the mechanics of rising or what have you. Can you do that?
- [13:46]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Absolutely. Divine ascension starts with divine awareness. And it is really embracing and believing that you are a spiritual being in a human body, that you're here for a reason in terms of a soul contract. You're coming down here to learn some lessons. And we're able to do that because in the spiritual realms, in the unseen world is very hard for them to accelerate into their learnings and expansion. But coming down into this 4D container of a body, a human body, and playing with, with, with emotions and playing with mental struggles and living in a messy world, it is a thing to do. The fact there's. This is what I'm learning there and I, I do go into more serious studies with all this and it's from ancient traditions that I learned this stuff. I'm just not making it up. Is they're, they're. We're highly regarded for coming down here and dealing with all this down here. But as we evolve, as we learn how to deal with problems, if we, as we expand our wisdom, as we open our awareness to how things are working between us and the cosmos and why we're here, it's a game changer because you realize, and then the real trick is after that is how do I marry my spiritual life with my human life, right? And that's what I really try to help people with because I struggle for years with it.
- [15:18]
Jim Alstatt
So there's, there are a couple of things that you had mentioned earlier when you were describing Divine Ascension Number one, you said you, you mentioned soul contracts. Guests have mentioned soul contracts in the past, but I don't know that there's ever been an explanation or a follow up. So when you're talking about a soul contract, what do you mean by that?
- [15:49]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
A soul contract is in your spiritual essence, in your spiritual form before you come and incarnate into a human being. You're a soul. You and your soul are the same person. So you're this soul. And you're evolving too. Up there, there's a whole layers of dimension and ascension up in the unseen world as well. There's angelic realms, there's hierarchies, I should say. And, and so when you decide to come down to Earth, you go, okay, these are the things I want to keep building on so that my energetic essence, my energy field, my energy structure, which I teach about, becomes more lighter, right? So I get rid of some blocks. For example. I'll give you an example I've been really struggling with over my life. And it keeps coming up and it's from my past lives and I'll share. How I come up with that is abandonment. I think a lot of people have this notion of abandonment and I can see it sometimes play out in my current life. So maybe that's one of the things I came in to do. I want to come in and I want to resolve this issue of abandonment. Because we're all one. It's one big consciousness. We're one big energetic, intellectual swimming pool, right? We're all in this. That's the highest ascension I believe you can go to. And I don't have all the answers. Believe me, if I did, I don't think I'd be here on Earth. But, but I kept coming up in my past lives like horrible Experiences. I was, I had leprosy once. I lived in a leper colony. I was left to die in a cave. Right. You know, different, different lifetimes. Right. Abandoned. There's people in my life right now who we had flipped roles. Maybe my sister, I can't remember. My sister was my mother.
- [17:42]
Jim Alstatt
Anyways, I hear that the soul families,
- [17:45]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
they didn't treat me well, you know, they were cruel to me, they weren't loving. And so I have seen that repeat in this lifetime with people close to me and I'm finally starting to get it. So what you do with the issue of abandonment, you increase your self love, you increase your awareness. Like, wait a minute, I have these amazing spirit guides around me. I've got the love of the universe, angelic presence. You know, you start to go through this growth and this is, this is just an example. So maybe that's one of the things I needed to learn. I'm down here, so I'm going to dive deeper into that. Right. And what do I do too now? And now that I'm aware of that, I'm going to keep nurturing that. But at the same time I'm going. I also have amazing people around me who don't give me that sense of they're going to abandon me or hurt me. Focusing on them the rest, I'll be a, you know, casual acquaintance, you know, even if they're a family member, it's like, I'll see you twice a year. I'll be cordial.
- [18:45]
Jim Alstatt
So with the divine ascension, it seems whenever someone has an awakening or during the awakening process, there's some sort of supreme suffering or crisis that plays a role in that. Are you seeing that with your clients, that they discuss those sort of things and then have to clean up that past trauma before they can move on?
- [19:14]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, if they're at that point and they may have already, you know, moved on to some of it or are starting to be more empathetic with themselves around an issue. And it's easier to delve into a sticky emotional challenge if you can start to build up your self love and acceptance first because then you can look at it more objectively. And that's what I teach you too. It's like how to work with your emotions energetically and get out into those bodies. Sometimes you just need to clean junk out of your energy fields that isn't even really yours. Or it's so old it should have been long gone, you know, but it's still hanging around energetically. That's why energy work. I'm Seeing more and more is so important in this energy field. This energy structure is the only thing that moves on to the next life or wherever you're going after this. That is so important. So now it's a good time to clean up your house as much as you can in this lifetime. I mean, we're not all going to become a beautiful ascended masters and gurus. Right?
- [20:14]
Jim Alstatt
Right.
- [20:15]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, I wouldn't want to.
- [20:18]
Jim Alstatt
Yeah, that's, that's quite a responsibility I would imagine too. So you, you had actually started to talk about how to bring that spiritual life into your normal life or your every. I shouldn't say normal life because spirituality becomes the norm in people's lives. But a human connection there, I, I know that that was another area that's going to be hit pretty heavily in your upcoming book, Human Connection. And really I view it as a paradox of going higher while staying here. Let's talk about that a little bit, that human connection and how that the inner workings of spirituality and us in on this 4D plane that we're on.
- [21:18]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yes, I, I think it's a fascinating topic and I've just been noticing the, the, A lot of people will work on the, the three things I, I talk about in my book. They'll either work on the, the divine awareness and ascension. They'll work on energy mastery like I've been talking about, you know, working with your energy field or the work on the embodiment part or two of those. But not all three. I think you need all three. We are spiritual beings in a human body working with energy fields. Exactly. And so that's the marrying. That's starting to go on. So when you're talking about the human body, first of all, just this, just its essence of like billions of cells that are like miraculously working and picking up on again, energy and intelligence. And like the body's just amazing. Just starting with that alone, it's able to function on its own. And then I also move into now your ancestral bloodlines, your inherited behaviors, your, the wisdom that they had, like it could fill a football field of people. Your ancestors are in your bloodline. And then I also start working with Mother Earth. Mother Earth. Her rhythms connect with our rhythms. We are, that's why we love going for walks, being on the beach and water, being in a park around trees. Our body just responds to energy that comes from those things and the animal kingdom. Right. The messages they bring us. So this, this, this amazing platform environment that we live in and this body, this vehicle is so much more complex Than, you know, I got to get up and go to work. And when we start to look at it that way, we start to play with different areas of that and then connect the spirituality to it. Right? And realize, okay, so I have this ability to experience life fully. And that's the messy stuff, that's the good stuff, that's the hard stuff, that's having a bunch of fun, that's enjoying pleasure. I mean, it's to just. That's the whole human side. And you, and you need to find that core in you to go, I need to kick this out and really start to enjoy life a lot more. And it doesn't mean you. For those introverts who are panicking right now, it doesn't mean you got to
- [23:54]
Jim Alstatt
be out in the public, change your personality.
- [23:56]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Right, Exactly. It's not about that. It's about these small shifts that create new.

Jim Alstatt
what's, what's interesting here is, and I'll speak from my own perspective here, my own point of view is that in relationships, you know, the people don't necessarily change or ascend together or their frequency or vibrational levels are at different levels points or different levels. I'm wondering what that does to relationships. Does it make it make them harder? More Difficult or how do you. And I'll just get right down to it is how do you love someone who's vibrating at a completely different frequency than you are?
- [25:52]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, that's. That is difficult. I remember when I first met my husband, which has been like 25 years now, and I was really upfront saying, listen, I'm into healing and psychic. And he says, yeah, I believe in the fae. We have the Scottish background. And I went, okay, great. So I didn't expect him to be like that, but I most certainly was going to be like that. And so even to this day, he's very, very supportive of my business. I don't think he really understands the depth of what I go into. I don't share it with him because it's not his thing. But he's so supportive and he knows I'm a healer, he knows I'm psychic. And my whole, you know, step family here that I've married into, they all know that it's not a problem. I have to be that in order to survive. I would hide it for a long, long time. So I think what happens to Jim is when we start to awaken more and more, the tougher decisions start to come about what do I need to align around me, to support me? And maybe a difficult relationship is part of the soul contract. So, okay, I really need to move into this ability to accept on a whole other level, maybe that's part of the emotional experiences somebody is supposed to go through in order to up that wisdom. And it crystallizes more in our energetic structure. So everything we do that's good and moving and awakening and growing strengthens that energetic structure that, that essence of who we are, our consciousness. So yeah, it's, it's, it's. It can be difficult. And I like to tell people just to end. I like to tell people that are a little afraid to jump into this whole new spiritual journey, you know, is their life going to radically change? And I'd say don't, no, don't worry about that. As you start to grow, things are. Start starting to shift. It could be very small things like I'm just not going to watch movies like that anymore because I really don't think it's good for my psyche, my. Or I really want to add church to my life or whatever. Right, right. So it see, shifts where it's not this radical change, but it could come to the point where a relationship is just not fulfilling that person and it's blocking them from growing after some deep reflection, you know.
- [28:18]
Jim Alstatt
Yes, I Was I was actually going to ask you when you were talking about the. What happens in these marriages, friendships, careers when someone goes through a deep transformation such as this.
- [28:41]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
You know, like when it comes to friendship, I've had a couple of friends that I've just cooled off from because I really noticed that they were manipulative and it was always about them. It was actually so subtle and I, you know. And you kick yourself going why didn't I see that before? Is that why I always felt, you know, sort of icky around this person? Is that why they sort of sort of irritated me? And then you realize as you start to grow and maybe you start to see some of the challenges like for me abandonment that maybe that person was like if you want to be with me, you got to do all this stuff, right?
- [29:20]
Jim Alstatt
Yeah, ultimately.
- [29:22]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
But it was subtle. It wasn't like bully like it was subtle. And I just realized, no, I'm not doing that. You're not. You're not a very true friend and you are who you are.
- [29:32]
Jim Alstatt
You're not the boss of me.
- [29:34]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, I'll wave at you on the street but you know, not inviting you for dinner.
- [29:40]
Jim Alstatt
Okay, so I know we've talked about energy and in the book Energy Mastery and most people know about chakras and auras at a very surface level after 35 years. What do you understand about energy that the beginner type books or what have you don't teach.
- [30:06]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
They. I don't think they teach about that energetic structure and then how all the components within it that I've been talking about and how it all works together and how you can reach those other outer subtle bodies which is a lighter, lighter and lighter version of you that vibrates. That's where your frequency increases when you want to increase your frequency and vibration. How do you. How do how to work with those by working with your chakras or working with different PowerPoints in your body to reach those. And even through pranic healing which is a beautiful method of energy healing the how to actually, you know, clear out some of those subtle bodies. Those are the ones that are your aura people call them that are so important and of course so are your physical body. So if people have it I'll even go extreme of saying is people starting to having mental health issues or people are starting to be burdened with this over ever looping emotion or they're starting to get physically ill. It happens starts out in the subtle bodies. That's so in order to get there you've got to start working with the chakras and the meridians, channels and all that. So it sounds overwhelming. Like, oh, my gosh, where do you start? And I just taught that in a master class yesterday. We did a guided journey visualization. I took them through really deep into doing a body scan with our healing guides. And it's like, hey, where's the most immediate point in my body? Do I need to have to heal? And one lady said, I have. It went right to my, you know, lower abdomen and my stomach area and my intestines. She says, I have issues there. And I said, well, that's where the sacral chakra is. And that's the most loaded one when it comes to emotions and feelings of security and sexuality. That's all in there.
- [32:03]
Jim Alstatt
And so creativity and everything else. Right.
- [32:06]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
And I wasn't suggesting, because I'm not a medical doctor, I'm a doctor of education, is that could be one of the reasons, you know, why this is happening. And so time to delve into there. You can spend a lot of time just on that one beautiful chakra. Our chakras are amazing. They pack a huge punch of so many different complex levels of us, from our creativity, like you said, or feelings of security, all the way up to divine connection to our expression, to our sense of love, our drive. And they're really, really beautiful to work on. So it's not like, oh, my gosh, how am I going to get all this cleaned up by next Saturday? It's not like that at all. You can't. So it is that journey. But when you start to heal immediate pieces, when you really listen to your body and you tap into your soul and that with your intuition, and this is all. These are all the things I teach. But when you start to really listen to your body, which is more intelligent than us, our body, like, we get gut feelings. Right. Or a body you just know, you shouldn't have eaten that thing, but you did.
- [33:12]
Jim Alstatt
The old gut brain.
- [33:14]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, yeah. And even just start at that level of going, okay, where do I need to work on first? And now. And then move into the energetics of that. Okay, what energy center is this? Like, what, what does that mean? What do I need to work on? And it takes a while. I mean, I mean, I'm 64 and I just sort of got it about the abandonment thing. Right.
- [33:35]
Jim Alstatt
That's interesting for sure. So if you talk about the energetic body as technology, and I know that you work with meridians, chakras and multiple modalities, is there a unified field theory at work with These as in how do. How these systems talk to each other?
- [34:02]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Absolutely. Like I said. But the subtle bottles of these just get lighter and lighter. It's almost like it's your antenna system and the outer body is your spirit body. So that is your human body's energy field that can connect to. It is connected to your soul. And it can now communicate with, you know, divine essences. Essences, realities, dimensions. So it's about clearing the highway to that thing. And the two you have to get by is the emotion and mental, which is two. Two of the biggest challenges that people have in this world. If you think of all the counseling and therapy and anxiety and fear, anger. Yeah, that's at play right there. At play. Like a person who's really angry and hateful. I feel for them, to tell you the truth. I used to hate them too, but I feel for them. It's like, man, you are. You are struggling. You are. You know what's underneath? Hate and fear and all that? Love. It's a fear of, you don't have the love, you not be given the love. You've been rejected at love you don't belong. Like, everyone's sitting in prison. I always think of these prisoners going deep, deep down, they're hurt little boys and girls, and I don't mean to minimize them, but it is. They're hurt. They got hurt and now they're expressing it in ways and they're defending themselves. And then they went too far. Right. And so. But inside of them is a beautiful soul. And they've got a big life journey. They have a big spiritual path.
- [35:39]
Jim Alstatt
So I know that you actually refer to yourself as a energy alchemist. Is there a difference between then an energy alchemist and an energy healer?
- [35:54]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I think an energy alchemist brings all of the pieces together because our thought forms are energy. So we think of something goes out there. When we feel something, it goes out there. So it's working with everything energetically. And we are energetically connected to the universe, the cosmos, the divine realms. So it's just this great big sea of energy. And it's like how to manage all of that. Right. And how to understand it and how to also protect yourself energetically. So, yeah, I deal on a lot of. I delve into a lot of elements around energy as opposed to just healing.
- [36:36]
Jim Alstatt
Okay.
- [36:37]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah.
- [36:39]
Jim Alstatt
So speaking of healing, can someone actually become their own healer? Or do we always need outside interventions at certain thresholds?
- [36:51]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I believe, and I. And I now am teaching you people how to become their own self. Healers working with Energy. I believe everyone can do it themselves. I work on myself every day. In fact, it's before I get out of bed. Right. So you're really in that zone of relaxed. And I just do some really quick, simple. Get rid of energy out of my body. I don't want anymore. I zap all of my, you know, activate all of my chakras. I pull stuff out of them. I, you know, request universal light to come down into my body. That we have a grid around us, this beautiful grid full of crystals. I just activate that. So that takes about 10, 15 minutes. And unfortunately, I think I wake my husband up when I'm doing that because there's this more energy. So we usually get up about the same time.
- [37:45]
Jim Alstatt
The Taurus field is that. That the energetic field around us.
- [37:49]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I do that too. And it's. You can do that, but you have to. I stand up to do it, to get this energy flowing from the top down, from the bottom up. And I just get that whole thing going when I'm, you know, making my morning drink, I just. I get that going as well. And those are the things. But it's. It's. It's removing energy. I don't want. If I've been anywhere, I've picked up energy, and I always forget to put a white light around me so I don't pick up the other people's energy. And so it's getting rid of that and so clearing, illuminating, and then energizing it with that. That whole Taurus Gotcha realm. Yeah, yeah.
- [38:28]
Jim Alstatt
So in the. The late, great Pat Longo used to say, surround, ground, and shields all the. Before you would go out into those crowds of people or just anywhere outside of your own environment that you've got this level, this frequency or energy that is consistent. You know, I've got one more question before we jump into the musical questions, and it's. If you could give someone just one practice that addresses ascension, connection, and energy mastery all at the same time, what would it be?
- [39:12]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
It would be shifting your perception that you are this beautiful spiritual being. You are worthy. You can connect. You can talk to Jesus, you can talk to God, you can talk to Buddha, you can talk to Archangel Michael who came to me the other day. You were this amazing spiritual being, and don't ever forget that. And when you understand that, then you go, okay, okay, now I got to start dealing with the human side, or I have to understand that a little bit more and embrace it.
- [39:49]
Jim Alstatt
I love that. I love that. And I would wholeheartedly support and agree with what you just said. I couldn't have said it better even if I wanted to. So thank you for. For your answer on that. Okay, so as anyone can tell you that's ever listened to the podcast, this is the section where I get to ask some musical questions of the guest. And as I mentioned regularly, I believe that the music is the tie that binds. And I also believe that everyone has a soundtrack that accompanies their life if they just take a moment to think about it. So are you ready to go into our musical questions?
- [40:33]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Sure.
- [40:34]
Jim Alstatt
All right. What was the first song you fell in love with on the radio or one that you heard that you can remember saying that. I can't wait to hear that song again.
- [40:45]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I was about 7, and we were allowed to watch TV Friday night and Saturday morning. That was it. With some chips and dip. And I fell in love with David Cassidy on the Partridge Family. That was a TV show, and they were a musical family. So they sang, and he sang I think I love you. I don't know the title of the song, but that's it. I was in love with David Cassidy, and I would sing that at the top of my lungs.
- [41:13]
Jim Alstatt
And I don't think you were alone there, which was why I was on Friday nights. Okay, so did your family have a song that everyone would belt out on road trips or vacations when you're growing up, or it could be with friends when you were in school or in college or what have you?
- [41:34]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Well, with my family, we traveled a lot because my dad was in the Canadian Air Force, so we were always on free flights somewhere, and we lived in Europe most of my childhood, and even in the car, because we travel everywhere in Europe every summer, we would sing Here we go into the wild blue yonder. Here we go into the wild blue yonder. And we'd be singing it with him. And I don't remember the rest of the words.
- [41:59]
Jim Alstatt
If we go into the sky.
- [42:00]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah, yeah, yeah. So we obviously did that more on planes. You might have been doing that just to calm our nerves because we were, like, on Hercules cargo, you know, planes free. It was free, right? So we were flying all over the place. We'd swinging in these little red canvas seats, and it was so loud back there, and there's like, you know, you know, crates of goods back. Oh, man, it was hilarious.
- [42:26]
Jim Alstatt
I bet that would have been really neat as a child traveling that way, though, you know, that's probably a wonderful memory. So what was your favorite song that you and your friends would belt out in your senior Year of high school.
- [42:45]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
At home we had limited channels, but we always had the theater. There was no streaming back then. Now we're. Now we're. Now we're into the late 70s.
- [42:52]
Jim Alstatt
Oh.
- [42:53]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
When I was a kid, it was the early 60s, so. With David Cassidy. But we went to the theater and I saw this movie, Grease 15 times.
- [43:07]
Jim Alstatt
Holy cow.
- [43:08]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Every Saturday we'd go. Me, my. My two besties, we'd go. And then we really got into Grease Lightning.
- [43:18]
Jim Alstatt
Yeah.
- [43:19]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah. What I want in my hand. I've got chills. It's. They're multiplying. So you're the one that I want. Olivia Newton John and.
- [43:28]
Jim Alstatt
Oh, yeah. Hopelessly devoted. That.
- [43:31]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yes. Yeah. But it was like. Yeah, yeah, it was.
- [43:36]
Jim Alstatt
Did you guys do the hand jive thing? Oh, yeah, of course. Of course. You can even go to karaoke where somebody or some places having a karaoke night, and people will do that hand jive thing as they're singing that song. So, yeah, I kind of thought that maybe you. You guys would do that. So did your musical tastes change after high school when you were in college?
- [44:04]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Absolutely. I discovered disco. So, you know, it's embarrassing. It's embarrassing to say, but I became a disco queen. So on the weekends, Friday and Saturday night, we go and we dance into the wee mornings and we, like, do the Hustle and Saturday Night Live. Not Saturday Night Live, Saturday Night Fever. You know, all. All that music. And we danced and we danced and be danced. Yeah.
- [44:30]
Jim Alstatt
Bees. So did you also do the. The skating thing with that? The.
- [44:38]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
No, no, no. Here.
- [44:39]
Jim Alstatt
That in. I remember, like, roller skating and doing the dancing and everything was really popular too. So that's. That's interesting.
- [44:48]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
We didn't. We didn't have that in Canada. That's quite interesting. No, it was Discothex.
- [44:53]
Jim Alstatt
Oh, okay. Yeah.
- [44:54]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
You know, with the strobe light and that ball and the glass Amir ball and. Oh, yeah, yeah. So I spent like a good five years discoing. Yeah.
- [45:04]
Jim Alstatt
Wow.
- [45:05]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Yeah.
- [45:05]
Jim Alstatt
Wow. Okay, so what's a song that gets your positive juices flowing?
- [45:11]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Bruno Mars, Uptown Funk. Put it on. And I can't stop moving. I. I bust into moves I didn't even know I had. I feel it afterwards. But, yeah, I just love that. I love the beat. And he's just so adorable.
- [45:27]
Jim Alstatt
It's a. It's a great song. And he is quite talented. You know, funny side story, My. My youngest, they would play that song over and over. And he turned to me one day and he goes, do you think Bruno Mars is talking about Julio Jones? Who is a wide receiver at the time for the Atlanta Falcons. Do you think he's saying, julio Jones, go get the stretch? No, probably not. But anyway, what's the name of a song that's your guilty pleasure that you. You wouldn't want necessarily anybody knowing that it's on your playlist?
- [46:09]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
And then one I sing with. With my hairbrush, you mean?
- [46:11]
Jim Alstatt
Sure, yeah.
- [46:13]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Hell, yeah. Whitney Houston. What's that one? I always love you. Oh, yeah, the Dolly part. And it's like. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
- [46:23]
Jim Alstatt
You're gonna belt it out right now.
- [46:25]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
No, I wish I had those. Oh, big finish.
- [46:30]
Jim Alstatt
Oh, yeah.
- [46:30]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I wish I had a voice like that. But, yeah, that's. That's.
- [46:34]
Jim Alstatt
She had quite a voice.
- [46:36]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
And I have to put my. My ear pods in and do it myself because my husband, he's not into that type of music. No, he's not into Whitney Houston.
- [46:44]
Jim Alstatt
Well, that's fair. That's fair. And you're very kind to do that. So what is a song that you believe could change the way people think or feel about the world around them positively if they just listen to the lyrics?
- [46:58]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I'd have to say I was really moved by. It's funny. I'm not that moved by lyrics. I think one of the reasons is I am not an auditory learner, so I get the words wrong. Just like your son, my husband will go, that's. That's not the line. It's not.
- [47:16]
Jim Alstatt
And so, you know they have a book with. With mistaken song lyrics, Right?
- [47:22]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Like. Yeah, with Blue Rodeo. There's that bad timing. That's all. I always thought it was that time in Nassau.
- [47:31]
Jim Alstatt
Well, yeah. What is it? Jimi Hendrix. Instead of excuse me while I kiss the sky, it's excuse me while I kiss this guy. And I was just like, yeah, that. Okay, cool. Anyway, what's your song?
- [47:48]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Well, the song that really hit me, I think it must have been from the 90s. We are the world. And that's when all the stars came together, like Michael Jackson. It was led by Quincy Jones. Oh, thank you. It all feels like five years ago. Quincy Jones and, you know, just all the stars at that. Singing stars at that time did a beautiful coming together. And Bob Geldoff, I think, arranged this whole charity. Yeah. And it was just so beautiful. And it's like, we are the world, and we have to help each other. We have to heal together. We have to stop this violence and cruelty.
- [48:24]
Jim Alstatt
Oh, yeah. It's. It's certainly a good song, especially for that. The message. So this happens to be my favorite question and it's. Sometimes there are songs you hear that ring so true that they can stop you in your tracks. In the songs, lyrics either sound like they were written specifically for you or by you. What's that song?
- [48:49]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
I'm just starting to get into goddess work. And so the goddess work is. It's not like a worshiping or anything like that, but it's about. And I think this is really helping me with my groundedness, my humanness and my Celtic connection. My blood is. I know my female, you know, ancestors, my grandmothers, they did worship goddess and I don't know what their rituals were like. My immediate grandmother loved the goddess Brigid. And I also didn't know that the Celtic cross, you know, on a grave site, there's a ring around it. That's because the Catholics anyways couldn't quite accept Christianity. This is. My father told me he grew up in it. So that's the moon around the cross. So they brought some of their paganism with them. And so I just know my grandmothers did. And it's feeling so good to connect. So there's some amazing, beautiful, stirring music out there that is sort of goddess centered. And Lorena McKinnon, I think she, she's Canadian. I'm just starting to learn some of the other people's names, women that are singing it. And it's so feminine and it's so powerful and it's, it's, it reveres, you know, the goddess energy and I'm really starting to enjoy that. But when I sit down in the morning and I. And I'm working, like I start to work, I really try to stay in a certain space. Like when I'm creating, creating or I'm answering emails, I put on crystal bowl sounds.
- [50:34]
Jim Alstatt
Okay. Yeah.
- [50:35]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Oh, it just, just tingles, right? Whereas the goddess, they have words and stuff like that. And so it sort of. I get distracted. So I just need to go into this zone. And that's how I work is to these beautiful, crystal, bold soundscapes.
- [50:49]
Jim Alstatt
Big advocate of that. My best friend who happens to live in Qatar does soundscapes and she does sound healing and therapy. She's a clinical therapist and she uses that in her practice as well. And she is really quite accomplished. Her name's Carrie Muller and her soundscapes and I listen to a lot of them. Believe me, they are the best soundscapes that I have ever heard, hands down.
- [51:19]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
Oh, I remember you shared. I happen to look into her name. I'm a little. I'm always cautious with ever putting myself into a place where energy is being emitted. I'm very select what I expose myself to or who works on me. And and so there's this whole world I'm starting to explore a little bit too in that sound frequencies and I think they can be very, very quick.
- [51:44]
Jim Alstatt
I think yeah is amazing from that especially because if you consider the fact that your body is 80% water and what frequency and sound does to water and those frequencies that she uses for very specific reasons or means in the healing process really start to come through especially I mean they're very effective in a recorded platform but in person it is otherworldly. But anyway, I'd like to thank you for all of your answers. I'd like to thank you for your time as well. So big thanks to you.
- [52:26]
Dr. Kelly Edmonds
My pleasure.
