Soul Sync with Jason Paul

What if fear was never meant to be in charge?
In this episode of Soul Sync, I’m joined by medium, healer, hypnotherapist, Master NLP trainer and Reiki Master Joanna O’Brien for an honest conversation about fear, self-worth, intuition and the feelings that quietly shape our lives.
Joanna has been a therapist even longer than she’s been a medium, and her work brings the two together. She helps people look past the problem they arrive with to the fear sitting beneath it.
We talk about how the unconscious mind tries to protect us by repeating old patterns. We get into why one painful experience can leave part of us shouting “danger” every time we try to open up, and how something as simple as the breath can calm the nervous system enough for real change to happen. Joanna also turns the spotlight on me, asking what love and trust really mean to me, and it got more personal than I expected.
Along the way she shares some remarkable experiences. There’s the learning difficulty that shifted as she began to open up spiritually, and the voice that sent her running into the sea moments before the waves turned on her son. And there’s the warning she ignored before walking into an armed bank robbery.
This is a conversation about fear, but really it’s about freedom: learning to see your feelings, accept them, and stop letting them make your decisions for you.
Following this episode, I’m releasing two guided meditations Joanna has made for Soul Sync listeners: Releasing Limiting Feelings, created especially for the podcast, and Releasing Limiting Beliefs. Follow the podcast so you don’t miss them.

The first time I told my mum I was thinking about doing a trance course, she said absolutely not. For a lot of people, trance still carries that fear. In this episode of The Mediumship Sessions, trance medium Donna King joins me again to clear some of it up.
We talk about what trance mediumship actually is, why the pioneers so often started with it, and what it feels like as you move into the state. Donna describes taking a back seat and letting spirit take the wheel, and we get honest about the difference between trying and allowing. Even when we think we’re allowing, so much of the time we’re still in control.
We also talk about:
How to tell genuine trance, and why you should be able to feel it in the room
Ego in trance, and remembering that we’re the vessel
Choosing the right teacher, and why pressure to speak is what stops you speaking
Why intention is all it takes to start sitting
Overshadowing, and why physical mediumship was done in red light
The 2012 brain scan study of Brazilian trance mediums, and Eileen Garrett’s lifelong questions about her own trance
I also share how my dad came through during a week of sitting in trance.
Donna and I are opening a fortnightly online trance circle on Thursdays, 7–9pm UK, from 3 December. It’s for those who already have some experience of connecting with spirit. Find out more: https://jasonpaulmedium.com/trance-circle-online

We talk about evidence. We talk about accuracy. We talk about names, memories and the details that prove someone has survived.
 But how often do we ask whether a reading actually made a difference?
 In Part 3 of The Art of Mediumship Curriculum, Jason is joined once again by Christine Morgan, internationally respected medium and tutor, to explore what it really means to be an effective medium.
 This isn’t about firing out strings of evidence. It’s about the grit - the story of a life, the purpose behind the communication, and how the person in front of you feels when they walk out of the door.
 Together, they unpack why the spirit world should always lead the dance, the danger of becoming a “sausage factory medium”, what to do when a demonstration goes badly wrong, and why Christine believes nothing negative in the spirit world can hurt you - only your own mind.
 If you’ve ever finished a reading and wondered whether you really helped…
 If you’ve ever had a demonstration you’d rather forget…
 If you’ve ever wondered why your guides don’t show themselves more often…
 This episode will bring you back to why you started.
What you’ll hear
What makes a reading effective, and why evidence alone isn’t enough
“Where’s the grit?” - going beyond surface-level messages
Why the spirit world should always lead the dance
The “sausage factory medium”, and how not to become one
Setting the scene at the start of a reading without closing your sitter down
Jason’s demonstration that went wrong, and what it taught him about trust
Christine’s car park moment, and why every honest medium has bombed
Working off adrenaline vs truly blending with the power
Can the spirit world hear every thought? Christine’s controversial answer
Guides, soul archetypes and the truth about negative entities
Who this episode is for
Developing mediums wondering whether their readings really help
Working mediums who feel stuck in the same grooves
Platform mediums who’ve had a night they’d rather forget
Anyone who feels confused, or anxious, about guides and “negative entities”
Mentions & ideas
 Effective mediumship · Evidence with purpose · Blending with the power · Stagecraft and demonstrations · Spirit guides and soul archetypes · The power of prayer · Responsibility to the sitter · Negative entities

Is there something you’re ready to set down before winter?
In this full moon episode of Soul Sync, Kieron Morgan, Brother of Dragons, returns to guide our monthly full moon meditation, this time under October’s Hunter’s Moon.
The Hunter’s Moon is the first full moon after the harvest. Traditionally it marked the time to gather in, prepare and take stock before the long dark months. This year it falls just five nights before Samhain, as the wheel of the year turns into its darker half and, for many of us, the veil feels at its thinnest.
I open the episode with a short introduction to the Hunter’s Moon: where the name comes from, why this full moon matters, and what it can mean for your own practice at this time of year. Then Kieron takes you into the meditation.
The full moon peaks in the early hours of Monday 26 October 2026, at 04:12 UK time. Listen on the night, in the days either side, or come back to it whenever you need it.
What you’ll hear
The meaning and folklore of the Hunter’s Moon
Why this full moon sits so close to Samhain and the turn into the dark half of the year
A full guided meditation with Kieron Morgan, Brother of Dragons (from 2:28)
Who this episode is for
This episode is for anyone who wants to mark the full moon with intention, deepen their meditation practice, or simply find some stillness as the nights draw in.
Mentions & ideas
Hunter’s Moon, October full moon, full moon meditation, Samhain, the thinning veil, the wheel of the year, Kieron Morgan, Brother of Dragons, Pendragon Reiki, The Dragon Rune Oracle Deck.

Medium and author Kay Reynolds joins me in a conversation I thought I'd lost, recorded in August 2024, on self-doubt, sitting in the power and why mediumship asks you to go within. 
Have you ever sat in a development circle, listened to someone else give a beautiful reading, and felt the doubt creep in about your own?

I recorded this conversation with Kay Reynolds back in August 2024 and honestly thought it was lost forever. Listening back, I can hear exactly where I was then: full of questions, caught in my head, and hitting a wall called self-doubt. It has shown me how far I've come, and where trust still gets tested.

Kay is an evidential medium, mentor and author of The Evidential Medium: A Practical Guide for Developing Mediumship. After 29 years as a teacher and more than a decade training at the Arthur Findlay College, she now teaches students around the world.

She shares the man who appeared in her bedroom when she was five, the dream visits that had her passing messages to her mum, and the serious illness that opened her back up to spirit and led her to Arthur Findlay. She also tells the story of the number plates her dad used to prove he was with her.

Then we get to the heart of development: why her tutors kept telling her to go within, the year her guide sat with her in silence, the day she realised the colours around her were her own spirit, and why deeper evidence begins with believing who you are.

In this episode:

• Kay's first encounter with spirit at five, and the "invisibles" who stayed close
• Dream messages, clairvoyance and growing up in the Bible Belt
• Illness, a "come to Jesus" moment and the road to Arthur Findlay
• KK and LD: proof from her dad in spirit
• Keep it simple: why mediumship asks you to go within
• A year of sitting in the power in silence with her guide
• "You're seeing you": the moment Kay saw her own spirit
• Self-doubt in circle, and how to deepen your evidence
• The whispers of the soul
