Past Lives
Many people believe that our soul lives on through many lives which Amanda can identify in certain medium channellings. Our soul at times remembers some of these past life events and we can identify and relate to them when mentioned. Most of us have had many past lives being anything from a warrior in Japan to a shepherd in Mongolia. Each of these lives teaches us something different and creates us into the person we are today. Past lives can date back to over 10,000 years or more. Past lives can also give us the knowledge not to make the same pattern of mistakes that have been made over many life times. We need to change the pattern if we are to move on from negative past lives which we tend to keep coming back to and repeating the same mistake over and over again until we get it right and only then can we move on. Some souls learn quickly and move on but others seem to be stuck in a never ending circle of negativity which can cause us great stress. Past lives can also be very positive and we seek the knowledge within ourselves to not make the same mistakes we have done in the past. Past lives are a wealth of information we can draw from to create the life we want to achieve. For example if you were a poor village peasant in a previous life and keep on coming back as that same person over and over again just in a different shape and form we need to seek out the reason why this pattern continues. We ask our higher self what the lesson is we need to learn from this experience and then the question if how to change it. Amanda in her medium work can conduct what is known as past life regressions which is harmless but very informative to identify and correct the previous mistakes so we can quickly move on to a better life.
There are a lot of unanswered questions regarding this subject as it is an area which very little is known or understood. Amanda in some of her medium channellings comes across a person who has harboured a negative past life. These are called past life regressions and sometimes a session is needed to clear these as they are affecting our current life. At times our soul retains information from a previous life. Some people have strong connections to Egypt or India but have never been there. These unexplained strong connections can usually be put down to a previous life in that country. Some souls bring into this life snippets of memories from previous lives which is sometimes for a purpose. For example we may keep making the same mistake over and over again during several lives so to prevent this same mistake from happening the soul retains that information as a reminder of what not to do in this life. Some past lives have been happy events and the soul wants to recreate these happy events in this life too. We recall these events and then the mind sets about how to achieve this. Some past life events were not so happy and the person is plagued by past negative events even though they have no idea where they came from as their life now is a very happy one. A suggestion to correct this problem is to ask your soul why it is reliving these memories and is there something to be learned or gained from this constant exposure. Then ask how you can clear this. A meditation session is always suggested as there maybe a lot more to this than meets the eye.
Passing Over
There are two different types of passings. Prolonged passing which is say an elderly person who has been sick for some time and ready to pass and trauma passing which for example would be a young person tragically taken by a car accident. The prolonged passing is usually expected by the souls and the transition is made easily as the souls is usually more than ready and willing to pass. A trauma passing is a little more complicated as sometimes the soul is a little reluctant to go. That is certainly not to say that it is traumatic for the soul. A trauma passing tends to linger a little longer as it is confused and bewildered but in every connection Amanda has made in her medium work to a trauma passing this confusion only lasts for a matter of seconds. In every case of any passing there has always been a loved one to greet the person passing and take them onto the afterlife.
Loved ones who have passed over do not watch over us in private moments and never invade our private thoughts. The other side has rules and regulations too and this goes against those rules. They are however with us in our general everyday lives. They are also never judging of our actions whatever they may be.
Suicide
This is a very touchy and sensitive subject for most who have been directly or indirectly affected by this kind of tragedy. In almost all of Amanda’s medium channellings which involves a suicide soul making a connection to loved ones there has always been a sense of peace around the person who suicided. In most cases the suicide has come to terms with their decision very soon after passing. Depending on the state of mind of the suicide at the time of passing most quickly settle into their new surroundings. Amanda has never known a suicide not to make the transition quickly and peacefully. If the suicide has had traumatic events through their life and has had suicidal tendencies throughout most of their life they tend to be at peace with themselves and the decisions that they have made. A lot of suicides which have had a life time of trauma feel peace from the moment they arrive. They are quickly collected by loved ones who have already passed to be comforted. Unfortunately the down side to this is the devastation they know they have left behind and this does tend to cause them grief which is also quickly dealt with. Some suicides never let on through their life that they are suffering and tend to keep it to themselves until it becomes unbearable for them to cope with and they feel their secret will be found out. Not wanting their family to be left with the burden of this secret they do what they feel is the only solution. They realise that their families would have supported them through this traumatic part of their life. The other side to this is the ones that make the split decision in a moment of traumatic experience suddenly end their life. These passing are also dealt with quickly and peace is restored to their soul. They tend to have a remorse for their actions but in no way harbour this feeling for long. The afterlife know what is about to happen and are very prepared for this. They collect the suicide immediately and get to work on restoring peace within that soul.
Amanda’s work as a medium has connected with many suicides and in each and every case the soul is at peace and willing to make the connection to their loved ones telling them everything from why they did this and the events surrounding this tragedy to who collected them and what they are doing now.
Meditation
Surround yourself with a lovely aromatherapy like ylang ylang or any of the other beautiful scents we have these days. It can also be in the form of scented candles or incense. Let your mind tell you what it wants to create this peaceful haven. Maybe a bit of soft music. Amanda uses several different cds from whale sounds to rainforest. Once you have set the scene close your eyes and imagine going into the room of your mind. What do you see in there? Is there clutter everywhere? What does that clutter consist of? Is it old memories or other things that you have been hording over the years? Make sure you put each bit of clutter in a box and send it to the skip. Then watch it being removed. This may take several goes to remove it all as you may find some more in the cupboards. Then set the task of clearing out all the clutter in your mind room and organising and decorating it the way you want it. Remember this is your mind and no one else’s so you can be as extravagant as you like. Once you have cleared the clutter and designed your room which you can also change at any given time see yourself peacefully sitting in that room. Look at the surroundings outside. What do you see? Is it a rainforest or an ocean? Once you have done this meditation several times it does create a mind set for your mind to go instantly into this room. You must protect yourself by surrounding yourself with white light before attempting any kind of meditation. Once this is done let your mind relax and not allowing any of the outside world of bills, children, relationships, jobs etc to penetrate your room. THIS IS YOUR SPACE. Let your mind open up to whatever it wants to tell you. You can ask it questions regarding any subject or maybe even for a friend. You may want to know who your guides are and ask them to make themselves known to you. Anything is possible.
Psychic Abilities
Some people feel they have psychic abilities but have no idea what they are or what they are for. This confusion can sometimes result in people being afraid of this gift or gifts they have. Some on the other hand embrace it and just go with the flow. When people are aware of a psychic ability they should then ask what it is if they are unsure. A connection with your guides often reveals some astounding information. The reason why you should connect to your guides for this type of guidance is that our guides are the ones who help us with our gift. It would be like going to school with no teacher. You need the teacher to guide and educate you in the right direction. You need to create the connection and bond with your guides and understand what they are trying to teach you and how to apply your gift in the best possible way. Some gifts are to give us a new direction and career in life using our psychic abilities to help others and some are just to help guide us in our day to day lives. If you feel you have a gift and you want to further your learning then go ahead and make the effort. You will find within yourself the strength and learning’s to further this gift. When Amanda first started as a medium she had no idea what to do and no one to guide her as in human form so she just simply asked for guidance. She found the strength within herself to keep on going. Amanda found that one of the big blockages was self doubt which she quickly removed from her psychic conscious. Embracing a psychic ability whether it is for personal guidance or creating a new employment for ourselves is always our decision. If it is not what you want or it is something you want to put on hold for the time being then you must let your guides know that this is your decision and they must respect that.
Finding Your Gift
A lot of people have asked Amanda what is my gift and how do I bring it out. Everyone has a gift of some level and the first thing Amanda suggests is that you try one of two things. The first exercise is to pick up an object that is owned by someone you don’t know and concentrate on its energy. Let it tell you things about the owner or previous owners. Make sure there is someone who can verify this. This is called psychometry. The second is a little more in depth. Going by past psychic experiences and understanding them ask yourself was I correct about my gut feeling or the message I gave that person. Sometimes we receive messages and either misunderstand them or discard them as our own thoughts. We need to understand which are our thoughts and which are not as some messages are important so you don’t want to miss them. To do this like any exercise it takes practice. Amanda suggests you start by clearing your mind and doing a meditation. During this meditation ask you guides for information regarding future events or direction in business or anything else you want advice on.
They are there to help and guide us. Some people say I cannot clear my mind of the chatter. Here is a simple meditation Amanda uses in her workshop.
Being Afraid Of Your Gift
It is certainly not a crime to be afraid of a gift and you are not incriminated by the universe if you choose not to use it. Some people are just plain afraid of it as they don’t understand it. If this is the case then ask the question of why have I been given this gift and what is the purpose. Sometimes a gift persists constantly and makes our lives very uncomfortable. This can make us very confused as we don’t want to let the gift go but don’t want to allow this gift to proceed either. Depending on the kind of gift itself which can be anything from a premonition to receiving a message from someone passed over to pass on that message to their loved one. Normally these gifts are given to us for a reason and usually as time goes by it is revealed to us what that purpose is. Don’t let the worry of a gift rule you and if the gift is making your life uncomfortable ask your guides to remove it from you until you feel ready if ever for it to appear. Gifts are never removed from us permanently and are there waiting for the right time to appear once again. We just need to control the intensity of the gift and as most people who have a gift learn easing into that specific given gift is quite easy. The reason they show us the gift in the first place is to make us aware that we do indeed have a gift. Usually a workshop of some kind can help us understand the meaning of this gift and how it can enhance our lives. Once this control takes place most people find that it is certainly a positive not a negative to have received such a wonderful present from the universe. Taking away the fear of a gift and revealing its purpose almost always brings us peace of mind.
Children With Gift
This is a subject which is becoming more and more open. It is one thing to have a gift yourself but to have a gifted child is something quite different. If the child is showing signs of a gift as many children are these days it is because the universe has sent these specific children here to learn at an early age the importance of a universal connection and to teach others their own age the importance of peace. The universe wants to restore peace to our planet as do most of us here on this earth. Amanda has found that these children are usually very aware of this gift and it comes naturally for them. They may look young on the outside but on the inside they are very old and wise souls. If you feel you have one of these children you need to once again ask the question what is the purpose and how can I help. Most parents Amanda has helped regarding these children are open and accepting of this gift and some even encourage it. As the parent or the guardian you are the one which makes the decision and if it is not what you want for your child then ask for this gift to be removed until such time as the child can make their own decisions.
Body Talk
This is one subject Amanda had discovered by accident. During a medium channelling for a lady in Melbourne in 2003 Amanda noticed the ladies body was trying to tell her something. Amanda decided to go with it and connect with the body. Amanda asked the lady was she getting any pain in the right shoulder and the lady instantly said yes. It comes and goes but when it is there it is quite painful. The lady agreed. Amanda tells the lady what she sees as the body revealed to her a mass in the ladies shoulder blade area. This mass turned out to be a tumour which was quickly removed and saved the ladies life. Body talk happens quite regularly in Amanda’s medium connection as the body tells the person what it needs or does not need. Amanda sometimes suggests taking certain foods or cutting out certain food and in nearly all cases the client always feels better. Amanda always suggests seeking professional advice once she has pin pointed the problem. The body in a very finely tuned instrument and getting it right always gives us a better chance of living a happier healthier life. Listen to your body and don’t ignore the signs as getting it right is very important. If our bodies are healthy then so is our mind and in turn our lives are better.
Dreams
Many people dream and some say they don’t. Some dreams seem so real like being with a loved one who has passed over. In Amanda’s experience as a medium these experience are real. What happens is while our bodies sleep our soul removes itself from our bodies to make contact with a loved one or make contact with our higher self or guides. After the event has happened our soul is then returned to our body and a small recollection of the event is retained. Most of these connections are peaceful and enjoyable. Some unfortunately have nightmares and these can be very unsettling for days even weeks after the event. There is always meaning in every dream we have whether is be a wonderful dream or nightmare. Interpreting them is the hard part as not all nightmares are negative. Some nightmares are a part of a healing process and the mind letting go of past experiences. Some are messages which we have interpreted as something bad about to happen but in fact it is something wonderful. For example you may dream of a loved one passing and you immediately expect the worse but in actual fact it is quite the opposite. It could actually mean that this is the end of the old negative life and there is soon to be a corner to be turned with a wonderful life ahead. Once again this is where we need to be in contact with our higher self or our guides to decipher whether it was a love one warning us to stop a particular event from happening or just a little insight into a wonderful future event. Dreams can be very confusing so going by our gut instinct is very important and if the dreams are persistent seek out a professional to help you to understand these dreams. One lady Amanda helped was having persistent dreams of a very violent nature. As Amanda worked with her Amanda discovered it was an event from a previous life which had still haunted her. Amanda did a clearing and to this day the lady has not had the recurring dream which plagued her life for so long.
Guides
Guides can appear in many different forms but they all have the same job and that is to guide us through our lives and send us in the right direction. Guides connect to us in many different ways like a message which is received by a thought which we know was not our own. It may also be by a gut feeling for example you my not feel comfortable about something or someone and your gut feeling turns out to be correct. It may also be in the form of a physical guidance for example you maybe deciding to take a trip overseas and are not sure whether to go as your gut feeling is telling you something which makes you feel uneasy. On the news you see that that particular country has suddenly had an official warning to all travellers because of unrest in the country. These messages from guides can come in big ways or small ways. You may have had a dream about something that has been worrying you for sometime and then they give you the solution to this problem and usually in the simplest form possible. Never underestimate your guides as they know our past, present and future and only want what’s best for us.
Connecting to and finding out who your guides are is always challenging for most people as many have no idea who their guides are and it is not through lack of trying. Don’t give up and always believe that they are there to help us. For a start ask for what you are wanting and be specific. They can’t help you get what you want if you don’t know what you want yourself. Don’t expect things to appear instantly as the road to learning and appreciating what we receive is full of ups and downs but good experiences always enhance our lives and we learn a lot from our journeys and our mistakes. Don’t always think of a wrong turn as a negative one as most times this is where we really are supposed to be heading and for a reason which is nearly always revealed. For example a client of Amanda’s was in a big city which she was unfamiliar with. She went by her gut feeling and ended up on the wrong train (or was it). This train journey took her to a different destination in another part of town. She got off the train and decided to have a look around. The lady came across an old book store and found the old book she had been looking for years for. Most guidance connections come to us early in the morning when we are just waking up. Another way to connect to our guides is through meditation. We all have guides even if you are not a believer. Some guides are in the form of a family member or close friend passed over. Some guides appear to us in a physical form. You may encounter an Indian or older person or in another different form as in a ball of gentle white light and they nearly always appear with a lovely gentle energy around them. Guides never ever watch over us in private moments nor do family members who have passed over as that is an invasion of privacy and against their laws.
What Happens When We Pass And Where Do We Go?
At point of passing we are always met by a familiar loved one or several loved ones who have already passed. People talk of going towards a white light which is the tunnel from this world to the next. We leave our bodies behind but take our minds and identity with us. When we arrive on the afterlife which is a different dimension to our physical world we are then taken to what’s known as a type of recovery centre to help us adjust back into the afterlife world. We are normally only there for a few days depending on once again how we passed. The afterlife plane is the most beautiful, peaceful, tranquil place and no one should ever be afraid to go there when it is their time. Amanda through her many medium channellings has never had any soul that’s passed over to say a negative comment regarding the afterlife. It makes no difference what you did in your life on earth whether good or bad we all end up in the same place. In many of Amanda’s medium channellings the person passed over comes through to tell loved ones here what they are doing now whether it be Grandma and Grandpa who lived on the farm and Grandma loved to crochet on the front porch overlooking the mountains or a young person who loved to travel and wants his family to know where he is at this point and where he has been so far.
They retain the same personality on the afterlife and bring that personality through when a medium reading is in progress. Some people think there is nothing after you pass but the 1000’s of medium readings Amanda De Warren has conducted this definitely proves otherwise.
Loved ones who have passed over do not watch over us in private moments and never invade our private thoughts. The other side has rules and regulations too and this goes against those rules. They are however with us in our general everyday lives. They are also never judging of our actions whatever they may be.
Missing People
Amanda has been contacted by many loved ones regarding missing people. Amanda during her medium channellings is able to establish whether a missing person has passed or are still living by connecting to loved ones which have already passed. Loved ones will let Amanda know whether this particular person has passed and if this is the case the missing person then makes a connection to Amanda bringing through information regarding their passing and personal information regarding themselves that only loved ones would know. If this missing person has not passed then loved ones bring through vital information regarding the whereabouts and particular information regarding the missing person. These connections can be quite confronting and a loved one must always be prepared for what Amanda has to say. In several cases Amanda has led family members to actually find their loved ones gone missing. People go missing everyday for many reasons. They may not seem logical to us but to them this is an escape and some feel it is best for their family that they just disappear. This sadly results in a lot of heartache for the family left behind wondering what happened and where they are. They are never able to get peace and closure and move on.
Motivational Words
Amanda’s connection to Kerry Packer
There is a story behind the motivational words. Several years ago when Amanda was just starting to become known she was also becoming disheartened about the way some of the media and others disregarded her and mocked her abilities. Amanda feeling very upset about this sat in her office with Kelli her faithful dog and asked what to do about it as things seemed to be going nowhere no matter how hard she tried. Amanda had a lot of faith in herself and her ability and just wanted to go out and help so many people. It was New Years Eve and Amanda decided she wasn’t in the mood for celebrating that year. As Amanda sat in her office at about 9pm she noticed the front porch light kept coming on and as it is sensitized she thought maybe it was a possum which kept setting it off. This went on for some time until Amanda retired to bed about 10pm. At 2am in the morning New Years Day Amanda’s smoke alarm went off outside her office. Amanda went downstairs to turn it off and as she passed her office she thought she saw someone sitting there on her office chair. She turned off the alarm and went back to bed and within ten minutes the alarm had once again gone off. This time she knew someone was trying to get her attention. She went down to her office and opened the door and immediately sensed a very strong presence. This was no ordinary presence; this presence had an air of great intelligence and knowledge. He identified himself as Kerry Packer who had only just passed over. Amanda has a column in Take 5 which is owned by ACP magazines, a Packer company. Amanda sat for some time listening and writing down the words of wisdom this man was leaving her and she knew this was pure gold. Before she knew it, it was 6am in the morning but this man was persistent and was still going. He talked to Amanda for hours about himself and how to change things into Amanda’s favour but most of all he gave her 9/ A4 pages of wisdom. Amanda calls them her packer wisdom cards. Which she still uses every day. Amanda still has strong connections to Kerry Packer and knows when he is around. She will listen to his guidance as he still is a very powerful energy that Amanda has a great deal of respect for.
Amanda wants to market the Packer cards and they will be available from this website.

Ouija Boards
These boards are most common around young girls and teenagers. They are often used as a bit of fun but let me express to you how extremely dangerous they can be. The inexperienced, naive and gullible have all suffered from an experience with a Ouija board. Amanda was asked to go to a home on the Gold Coast where a very dark energy was causing grief. Amanda immediately picked up that this energy had come through in a teenager’s bedroom at the back of the house. It was causing a great deal of havoc in this normally quiet household such as throwing items around and making its presence known in a physical glimpse of this dark creature. Amanda battled with this dark energy for approximately two hours to remove this entity as it was very stubborn, vicious and violent. It scratched Amanda’s arms and pulled her hair but eventually Amanda won the battle. There are many more stories similar to this so if you are thinking about playing with a Ouija board think again as it would be a lot less dangerous to walk an unmarked minefield than it is to play with a Ouija board
