What Are the Signs of a Spiritual Awakening?

Karen Docherty is a Scottish evidential psychic medium and spiritual teacher trained to teacher level at the world-renowned Arthur Findlay College, working today with clients across four continents. In this episode she breaks down the real signs of a spiritual awakening, not as a lightning-bolt moment, but as a set of skills anyone can develop, and why so many of us feel it and then talk ourselves out of it before it goes anywhere.

The conversation goes to some genuinely unexpected places... a childhood spent fighting spirit children for her own bedcovers, a house she walked away from because of what she felt in one room, and a personal connection to one of the most famous and controversial mediums in British history.

Karen also opens up about a discovery she stumbled into by accident, the ability to connect with people who are still alive but living with dementia, and what that reveals about where the mind ends and the soul begins.
