Jim Alstott
Sam. Hi, everyone, and welcome back to the Drop the Needle podcast. I'm your host, Jim Alstott, and I'm so happy y' all decided to join us. We have a frequent flyer on the Drop the Needle podcast with us today. We have none other than the no nonsense intuitive herself, Ms. Gail Alexander. Gail, as you may all remember, is the no Nonsense Intuitive Mandala creator, spiritual counselor and mentor, healer and author, which is what we're going to discuss today. It's her new book and it's titled Wakey, Wakey. It's time humanity pay attention. Please join me in welcoming Gail Alexander. Hey, Gail.
- [01:49]
Gail Alexander
Hey, Jim. Glad to be back.
- [01:51]
Jim Alstott
Oh, I'm so happy you're back. And boy, have you been busy since we last met. Holy cow.
- [02:00]
Gail Alexander
Yeah, it's not like I get a choice. Everyone's like, why do you put out so much stuff? And it's. I'm directed to do it and if I don't do it, you know, it just backs up. So it's better if I just do it and move forward and do what they're asking me to do, then try and fight against it.
- [02:20]
Jim Alstott
You got to get it out.
- [02:23]
Gail Alexander
That is their current message.
- [02:25]
Jim Alstott
Get it out there. So I was given the honor of reading the book before it was published and was also honored to have written something for Gail's book. And I had. I have a little summary or a takeaway from Gail's book that I want to share with everyone because it is very cool. Wakey, wakey. It's time Humanity pay attention. Really serves as a spiritual wake up call for humanity. And it's written in collaboration with Gail's spirit team, her angels, ascended masters, and light beings. The central premise of the book is that humanity is at a critical turning point and must choose between evolving to a higher consciousness or remaining stuck in destructive patterns. So we were talking a little bit earlier and you said, yeah, that's. That's pretty much on point with everything. Now within the book, though, you have some themes that are really out. Well, not, not out there in the woo. Out there right in front of you. And spiritual awakening is one of them. And you bring up a point where you believe that light beings, we as humans are light beings in human suits, right?
- [03:58]
Gail Alexander
Yes.
- [03:59]
Jim Alstott
Why don't you talk a little bit about that?
- [04:02]
Gail Alexander
Well, I think that, to think that we're not is silly. You know, it's just that we're in three and on a three dimensional Earth and have gravity, so our bodies are much more dense than maybe other beings out there. But part of the shift that's happening right now is our light bodies are coming back online. There's so much talk about chakras and energy work and things like that. That's all about aligning the light body to work cohesively with the physical body.
- [04:37]
Jim Alstott
Okay, okay. So also in there you talk about that, that transition, the third dimension, and it's like a polarization in using this comparison of good versus evil to the fifth dimension. So can you explain what that's about?
- [05:00]
Gail Alexander
Well, the third dimension is duality. You know, right versus wrong, good versus bad. The fifth dimension is all about living from your heart space. And a lot of people are having a hard time moving to that because there won't be a lot of secrets left because when we move into our heart space, telepathy starts to come back. We're hearing a lot more about that right now. There's all kinds of podcasts about telepathy, you know, and as we move higher up in vibration, all of those gifts start to come back. And it makes people very nervous because it's really hard to control when people are telepathic and can communicate without, you know, picking up a phone or a device or something like that.
- [05:48]
Jim Alstott
Right. And I know that there have been studies conducted by the US Government in that specific area with telepathy. And I don't know what it's called when you can move. Is it telekinesis when you move things? Yeah, you're with your mind or the, the energies that come from that. So I. Yeah, I mean, what we're talking about isn't necessarily new at all, but it's definitely been pushed down quite a bit. Right.
- [06:27]
Gail Alexander
Well, I think this year, I don't know about all the people who are listening to your podcast, but this has been a very rough year for people. There's a lot of people transitioning, like a lot of high powered people transitioning. A lot of people have been going through a lot of physical things, a lot of stuff with feet, knees, ankles, moving forward, hips, you know, so there's so much going on because this is our opportunity to work through it before we shift. We need to release some of it. Because it's so dense, we can't carry it with us as we go up in levels.
- [07:10]
Jim Alstott
So in that releasing. And I don't want to get too far into the weeds because we're talking about your book.
- [07:17]
Gail Alexander
We always go into the weeds.
- [07:19]
Jim Alstott
I know we do. I know. Go where everything leads us. But when. Let's say that somebody's got some of those physical issues that we're talking about. Hip, knee, back, what, what have you. Do you have any recommendations as it relates to helping that individual release, some of those things?
- [07:43]
Gail Alexander
Well, I always think about when people tell me about physical issues, I always think about the chakras and what issues are associated with that part of the body. So let's say like lower back pain is usually for family of origin issues. You know, belief systems that are getting in the way. Like oftentimes for people, it's the belief system of what they were brought up to believe versus what they really believe. And they struggle with the two of us. So they've literally created something where then they stay stuck and can't move or have pain.
- [08:19]
Jim Alstott
That's interesting.
- [08:21]
Gail Alexander
You know, you think about foot pain, knee pain, it's movement forward, right?
- [08:27]
Jim Alstott
Correct. Yeah.
- [08:28]
Gail Alexander
So it's about, you know, how can you move forward? What do you need to let go of to move forward? Why are you keeping yourself. Let me use the words playing small, because that's what so many of us have been conditioned to believe that we need to do that we need to play small.
- [08:47]
Jim Alstott
Well, because it's safe. Right, but from what? Yeah, well, I mean, that's. It's perception. Right. And that's really what it boils down to. Fear, false evidence, appearing real, whatever acronym, you know, you're saying you want to come up with. But that is why. Oh, and it's. It's also what's known too. Right. So if you're. If you're playing small and you've done that the majority of your life, it's because that's a pattern in you already. And it's hard to break some of those patterns.
- [09:27]
Gail Alexander
Well, you know, considering I was just working at my day job, which is still doing some counseling things, you know, I was thinking about trauma, and one of the trauma responses that a lot of us have is. Is hypervigilance. And that we're always waiting for something to happen. And when you're always waiting for something to happen, you don't actually. You're so focused on seeing what's out there that you don't actually see what's right in front of you, and you end up getting smacked. So it's about more learning to be present in the moment so that you can actually make choices and decisions as opposed to what's going to happen in the future.
- [10:10]
Jim Alstott
Yeah. What may or may not happen. Well, that kind of transitions into signs and intuition then, too, a little bit. Which is another key theme throughout the book, where you cover how to recognize and trust spiritual guidance through signs like angel numbers, synchronies, intuitive hunches. And I know that in the book you share some of your personal experiences and pre. Cognitive.
- [10:39]
Gail Alexander
Is that where I talk about my Jeep?
- [10:41]
Jim Alstott
Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Including sensing your. Your mechanical problems with your vehicle. So that. That's. That's very cool. Why don't you tell us that story?
- [10:55]
Gail Alexander
So my Jeep was leaking, and I took it in, and the dealership spent about an hour. They're like, we'll have it back. You don't need a rental car. We'll put back in it. Everything's fine. So they put me back in the Jeep. Now, I've only had this car less than two years. It's. It's not this Jeep. Less than two years. And so I get home, and me being who I am, I get up, I go upstairs, I get a piece of cardboard, put it under my Jeep because there's already a pile of oil on the ground, so I wouldn't know if it was new and go back down like an hour and a half later, still leaking. So I take it back and like, you didn't fix it. And they're like, yes, we did. This is just extra runoff. I'm like, no, you didn't. You want to fix it this time. And so the next day, I get a phone call saying, yeah, there's a crack in the oil pan. But being we can't get parts right now because of all the fun things going on in our country, you know, it was going to take a week and a half, and they had left me an offer to, you know, trade in my car. And like I said, I still owed quite a bit on it. I'm like, it doesn't make sense to do that. But they made me a deal that I couldn't walk away from, so I ended up with a new Jeep.
- [12:13]
Jim Alstott
That is something.
- [12:18]
Gail Alexander
Because I would have never. Oh, the part I'm missing is they said they're going to tell you that they fixed it, but they're not going to have fixed it. You will never be safe in that vehicle again.
- [12:29]
Jim Alstott
Excellent. Because you just. You beat me to the Bring you Back to the. Because I knew this from when it actually happened because Gail and I are friends and we talk regularly. And I remember her saying that, and she's like, I don't know if this is a good time or not, but they're telling me that I'm just not going to be safe in this vehicle. And I said, well, I asked the question, have those voices ever been wrong before? And you just said, no. And I was like, well, okay, I don't think there's going to be a first time with this. And sure enough, there it was. And she got, she got her new Jeep, which is.
- [13:12]
Gail Alexander
Well, and the funny thing is, is then three weeks later, I get a notification saying your Jeep is in for service. I'm like, no, it's not. It's sitting in the garage downstairs. And they're. The old Jeep. Three weeks later, they finally got the part and they said they finally fixed it, supposedly.
- [13:30]
Jim Alstott
Yeah, well, good for the new owner. I'm happy for them. One of the. And this also kind of ties into your personal journeys where. And this is, this is really cool. And I'm not trying to give everything away from the book, but folks, you got to get this book too. And why don't you, why don't you talk about your multidimensional travel as a child?
- [14:02]
Gail Alexander
So as, as a child, I had a white pedal car, and I thought that that's how I multidimensionally traveled because it would happen a lot while I was in, you know, pedaling around because it was monotonous. So that was when I would be traveling and then the little boy down the street kept stealing my pedal car and leaving me his fire engine. And I would panic as collateral because I'm like, he doesn't know how to use it. He's not going to know how to come back. And so my parents would go down and get my pedal car back and bring him back his fire truck. But yeah, that, that's how, as a little kid, that's how I thought I multi dimensionally traveled. I didn't realize it was me. I thought it was the white pedal car.
- [14:48]
Jim Alstott
Well, of course, why wouldn't you, why would you think it was you? You're like, it's got to be this special car, right? It's going to get you where you need to go. I love that. By the way, I had mentioned earlier, when she uses her spirit team, that's really what ends up happening when Gail writes and that's when she says, I don't have much control over it. Because the spirit team comes a knocking and it's like, it doesn't matter what time. It's like, hey, you better. We need you to start writing this down. And she goes, so I remember hearing about that, and I was like, you.
- [15:29]
Gail Alexander
Mean when they told me I had three weeks to write the book?
- [15:32]
Jim Alstott
Exactly. And you did. That's another amazing thing I had mentioned also in the little synopsis that you talk about, really this rapid technological advancement without the corresponding consciousness that comes with it, that could really lead to humanity losing its heart connection. What. So what are the consequences when that happens?
- [16:11]
Gail Alexander
Civilizations can end. We think about Atlantis and, you know, part of the reason that Atlantis destructed was because it lost its heart connection and was just power hungry and was misusing all of the things that they created and all the gifts that they had had, and they ended up destroying their civilization.

That's. Well, that's a warning we should really heed.
- [17:12]
Gail Alexander
Are we going to destroy our civilization? Probably not. I think we're past that point. But we might throw ourselves back quite a bit from where we could actually be. That's the choice.
- [17:26]
Jim Alstott
Yeah. And with that, sometimes I don't know if you've ever thought this way, but it'd be nice to go back to the late 1980s when we really didn't have cell phones and we didn't have the distraction and we didn't have this constant deluge of information coming at us 24 hours a day where it's actually impacting the brain function and wiring, for a lack of a better term, of adolescent brains, because of the constant. What is it called? Doom scrolling. It's can't pay attention, can't pay attention, can't pay attention. And it's. I think it'd be nice. I wonder how many car accidents or how many fewer car accidents would occur without having the phone.
- [18:28]
Gail Alexander
Yeah, I think it's illegal now, at least in the United States, to use your phone while driving.
- [18:33]
Jim Alstott
Oh, sure, illegal saying that people don't. But, oh, no. One of the other things that comes out in your. Your book is the practical guidance piece. And what I mean by that is in Gail's book, there are three guided meditations for healing, and you discuss the importance of spiritual practice and address how to work through fear, relationships, personal growth, all from a soul perspective or spiritual perspective. And I know that there was one of the meditations that you wanted to discuss. Why don't you go ahead and tell us about that one?
- [19:19]
Gail Alexander
Well, you know, I've written. Most of my books have meditations in them that's not new for me. So the first one in this book is the adrenal one to help calm us down a little bit. And then there's a rainbow flame meditation, which is really cool as well. But the one that I was really surprised that they had me put in the book was you go into a healing pyramid and you levitate in the meditation. And I didn't think that they would ever, you know, want us to talk about all the healing work that went on in the pyramids and stuff like that. So I was very surprised when they put that in this book.
- [20:00]
Jim Alstott
So I wonder. I wonder why. Unless the. Your guides or your team decided we got to pull out the heavier artillery for something like this, because the course we're on could be. I don't want to say, you know, it sounds dramatic to say cataclysmic, but maybe I, you know, what if what you're talking about with the potential of. Of some of these things is. Is pretty significant. So I'm sure there was a. A definite reason for that coming out. Right.
- [20:39]
Gail Alexander
And it's fun to levitate. So.
- [20:43]
Jim Alstott
Yeah, you know, I. I'm usually one for doing that in my dreams and being able to. When you get into the. The practice of meditation, it is almost. I think your brain does get to that. Dreams too, which makes complete sense as to why you would be able to do that in. In your meditation. And that's, that's really.
- [21:12]
Gail Alexander
I have. I have done it with a group of people. It was a lot of fun, you know.
- [21:17]
Jim Alstott
Oh, that's right. You did. Did you do that one on one of the.
- [21:22]
Gail Alexander
I did it on one of the social clubs with Jen Weigel. Yeah. Where I had everyone levitate in the middle of it.
- [21:30]
Jim Alstott
I'm sure that was well received.
- [21:32]
Gail Alexander
Yeah. And then. So we tried to talk about it afterwards, but no one was in a place to talk.
- [21:37]
Jim Alstott
Oh, yeah, well, I missed that one. And I. I would have liked to have done that because I, you know, me, there's.
- [21:45]
Gail Alexander
There's.
- [21:46]
Jim Alstott
I couldn't be holy when, When Something happens, I react, and there's no filter or breaks on it. It just comes out. So.
- [21:59]
Gail Alexander
So I wanted to go back to. You were talking about, you know, everyone's so busy in their life with all these devices and things like that that keep our brains always active. That's why meditation, guided imagery, music, you're seeing like sound, baths, all of that is to get us to connect to the inner rhythms within ourselves, because we need to remember those if we're going to be happy, healthy and whole.
- [22:28]
Jim Alstott
That's a good point.
- [22:29]
Gail Alexander
The three H's. Happy, healthy and whole. Well, I guess whole with a W, but yeah.
- [22:37]
Jim Alstott
No, and thank you for going back to that because that is important to note that the calming of the mind. And it's not like you can ever completely shut it off, but you can get a lot of distractions tucked away nicely for a period of time that open up for some really good things. You talked about the collective.
- [23:05]
Gail Alexander
Oh, yeah.
- [23:07]
Jim Alstott
So let's spend a little time discussing the collective.
- [23:12]
Gail Alexander
Okay. So the collective, as you said, that came through when I wrote this book, was angels, archangels, ascended masters, and light beings. So at the beginning of each section of the book, there's a channeled message from the collective. So I thought I would read the one that's in the preface.
- [23:32]
Jim Alstott
Oh, good, thank you.
- [23:34]
Gail Alexander
Because I got a copy of the book before it came out. So it says to humanity, there's much love available. With that said, you as humans block the magnificence of this frequency because of the power and possibility this frequency holds. Love is capable of transforming. It is time for all of you to remember the love, light, and power that you all carry. It is time for you each to be who you are fully meant to be. Be your own power Ranger. You have more support than you can fathom. Go forth, live, laugh. Love and experience connection, joy, and the beauty and gift of being incarnated. We know it does not feel like a gift, and yet each breath, each moment of connection is exactly that, a gift. Time to open your presence in the present. Good journey. We, the collective, are always here for you, sending peace, grace, blessings and love.
- [24:33]
Jim Alstott
Your collective is quite clever. Quite a group of wordsmiths there. I'm really curious, though, if you are even able to do this, but can you describe what the communication experience is like for you from the collective? And how do you distinguish your own thoughts from your spiritual team's thoughts?
- [25:04]
Gail Alexander
So it depends on who I'm channeling. They all come in a little bit differently. Like we've talked before, that Metatron is one of my main guides. And when he comes in, he's very pushy. He's the one who tells me I have to do mandalas at certain times and kind of the colors that they're going to be and things like that. The collective was a little bit more gentle, which threw my rhythm for the book off because, you know, they weren't as demanding other than telling me it was going to be three weeks, you know, that it was going to take me. But it was a much softer approach. And my last book I actually wrote typing it. This one, I had to hand write again. All the information came in through handwritten versus me sitting at my computer typing. And as I talked about before, they still don't like the keyboard for my imac, so they always make me write on a laptop. They like the feel of the keyboard better.
- [26:04]
Jim Alstott
I'm curious to know. Well, they probably don't tell you why, but that just.
- [26:12]
Gail Alexander
I write fast. I write faster than I type.
- [26:15]
Jim Alstott
Oh, do you? Okay.
- [26:16]
Gail Alexander
And I don't think when I'm writing. Sometimes I'll think while I'm typing or I'm looking at the screen to see what it looks like as I'm typing. So sometimes I'll stop when I'm writing. I won't stop until it's done.
- [26:31]
Jim Alstott
Okay, so that, that makes sense because then it's flowing out and don't have an opportunity to think about what you're putting on the.
- [26:38]
Gail Alexander
The punctuation or things.
- [26:40]
Jim Alstott
Right, right.
- [26:41]
Gail Alexander
Yeah.
- [26:41]
Jim Alstott
Well, that doesn't sound right. No, that's exactly what I heard. So just say it. Yeah, I could see going back and forth on that. I know I would. And I want to hop back to the multi dimensional travel as a child using your white pedal car, which is cool.
- [27:02]
Gail Alexander
I also had my first experience. I don't know if I talked about it in this book. I know I've talked about it. My first experience by locating, I was at camp. So I was like 12. 11 or 12. So.
- [27:16]
Jim Alstott
So, okay, you opened that door.
- [27:20]
Gail Alexander
Okay, so what? So I was at camp. It was overnight camp, so I was there for four weeks. And I remember standing in what they were calling like the cantina or store and I was out on the balcony of it. And then the next thing I knew, I was playing with my friends at home. And then someone called my name and I was jerked back to the camp.
- [27:45]
Jim Alstott
Oh my gosh. Okay, well, I know you did not mention that. And that's. That would be freaky for sure. But you know, depending upon your Age and how many times that's happened to you? It may not be anything new, but.
- [28:04]
Gail Alexander
That was the first time that I remember it ever happening and it didn't happen again for years because it kind of freaked me out.
- [28:14]
Jim Alstott
I could see that it's like that Leaper. Isn't there a movie called Leaper or something that were or Jumper where they're doing that, that the jumps back and forth. So the reason I brought up the, the question about the multi dimensional travel as a child was really more to give you an opportunity if you feel comfortable doing this, maybe giving some of the parents out there let's say that their child is experiencing a similar phenomenon. What advice might you give them in understanding where this is coming from with their, with their kids?
- [29:00]
Gail Alexander
Well, I think a couple things are true. When I was little, a long time ago in the dark ages, a lot of the information that was not available back then. So like if I had told my parents that this stuff was happening, I'm sure I would have been sent somewhere. You know, parents are more. Kids know more now. They come back with more gifts. Like you hear lots of little kids talking about past lives and things like that, or telling their parents, I was here before and I was. Blah, blah, blah. I think for parents it's just staying open. Whether it's imagination, whether it really happened, it's just staying open to it. And let your kid talk about what they need to talk about. Unless it's putting them in danger. And then, then you need to do something. Like if they're having commands to do things that are not in everyone's best good, then you need to act on it, step in. Yeah, sorry, that's the therapist part of myself. But for the most part it's kids. Until kids go to school, they're still very connected to the other side. Once we go to school and start conditioning kids to learn and things like that, they start to lose their connection to everything on the other side. At least that's what happened when I was growing up. I don't think that happens as much now because people are more open to talking about it.
- [30:27]
Jim Alstott
Right. That restrictive reasoning where color in the lines. No, the, the sky can't be green or something like that. And that's one of those things that fortunately I always got a kick out of my, my boy's coloring and doing whatever. You know, I was never a parent that was just like, nope, it's got to be this or nope, it's got to be that. I didn't much care. I just enjoyed Watching him, you know, color in a color. My youngest would say he was drawering because he would draw and color at the same time. So it was a cool little word he made up. But you're, you're right about that. And I do recall looking back a couple of times where my kids were very insistent that we'd been someplace before that we hadn't. Have we been here? You know, they'd ask. And I said, no, this is our first time. Are you sure this is. I think we've been here before. No, this is the first time, bud. You know, one of those.
- [31:30]
Gail Alexander
Basically. Yes.
- [31:32]
Jim Alstott
Yeah. Right, right. So, you know, I guess it's easy to, you know, hindsight's 20 20, right? From the vantage point that we're in right now, going back there, you could say, oh, yeah, well, I get it. Yeah, well, maybe you were here before. Tell me more about it, you know, and instead of, you know, moving on so quickly, opening it up for, for further discussion and just kind of feel things out. So, yeah, so I've got a few more questions and then we'll get to the musical things. But this is, this is really kind of interesting, you know, when you were talking about the mechanical issues with the Jeep and wasn't actually fixed, despite what the dealership said. For people who struggle to trust their intuitive hunches, how can they begin to distinguish between fear based thinking and genuine intuitive guidance? That seems like a perfect place to end part one of episode 41 with the no nonsense intuitive Gail Alexander. But before we wrap up today's conversation, I just want to say how powerful and eye opening this episode has been. From Gail's first experience with multi dimensional travel to her collective waking her up in the middle of the night to get started on her book, we've covered a lot of ground. But guess what? We're just getting started. In part two of this conversation, we dive even deeper. You'll hear some wild and thought provoking stories from Gail's concerns about technology's impact on human consciousness and connection to how Gail channels messages from spiritual beings, emphasizing that this, this is humanity's moment to choose transformation over destruction, love over fear, and heart centered living over ego driven existence. So be sure to come back for the next episode. You're not going to want to miss what's coming up next. Until then, keep your heart open and your playlist loud. See you in part two.
