Inner Divine Healing Light: Live a Joyful Life, Attain Consciousness

Deirdre Hade

Thank you. Thank you. Tom, I love being here. I love what you’re doing. So let’s just go. Here we go.

Tom McCarthy

So tell us, the word mystic, some people might not know what that means. What does it mean to be a mystic?

Deirdre Hade

Well, good question. I always like to start that way because yes, there’s some misconceptions about what a mystic is. So a mystic is someone who has one foot in this world and one foot in another world, a mystic lives in both worlds, in an expanded state of reality. And the mystique will go into deep visions or deep meditation, Sadhana and be given messages, we’ll see things in a broader perspective and then come back and tell everybody about it. All of the great religions, I don’t put myself in this category of mystic, but all the great religions were founded by mystics, by a person who had a gift to hear the divine and speak with the divine. So I was born with a little gift and I’ve spent my life learning and studying with many masters so I could understand it and be of service to people because a mystic is really, a person’s born to be of service. So I’m really here to be a service to help us all along on this journey of planet Earth, this third dimensional journey to help us all along in any and every way that I can.

Tom McCarthy

I love the story I was reading about you earlier, and I love this story, how you started seeing angels when you were very young and then you even started teaching your little friends that are like six years old or something like that. Like you had an angel school and then you finally closed down the school because you said they’re not ready for it yet, right?

Deirdre Hade

That grew the tree. Then I still have the book. I still have my study book.

Tom McCarthy

So what was that like as a little girl and I think the story of you saving your brother, you can maybe even tell that story, but what was that like when you started seeing things and hearing things that other children were not seeing and hearing and that adults weren’t seeing and hearing, was it just because you were so young? Was it just a natural occurrence? Oh yeah, everyone must think like this, or did you know it was a little bit different?

Deirdre Hade

Well, Tom, I could tell you right away, when I was very young, such as saving my brother, I did not think I was any different than anyone else. I just assumed that everyone was like this, but I did have some awareness that perhaps I was a little different and that was, I thought in a different language. And I actually remember learning English, learning my parents’ language. And I remember thinking that language is so slow. My language is much faster and much better, and my parents should learn my language. They would look at me many times and say, we’ll never learn your language, but I tried to teach it to them. And I even remember some of the words my parents wrote them down and I was trying to teach them this language I had.

Tom McCarthy

This was like at age three, four, five, six.

Deirdre Hade

And then eventually I forgot the language, as we become more and more like humanized, that part goes away. But getting back, if you want me to tell the story, but my brother and my brother lives in Nashville and he was too young to remember it, but it was a family, Laura, this story, and I’ve got to give the background to this. My grandmother was Catholic. My father was a research scientist at the city of Chicago, an atheist. My mother was a physiologist. She was more agnostic. And I grew up in academia. I was at the University of Chicago from ages zero to six. And that was the environment. There was no church. There was no commute. There was really, there was my grandmother going, oh no, your father, because he wouldn’t take me to mass. But I grew up in this scientific household. Everything was science. So when these things started to happen, it really was out of the box. 

So what happened when I was about three and a half, my brother had just been born and we went camping on Lake Michigan where a pine forest was. I love the pine forest. And I believed that the pine trees and the rocks, and even the moon was alive, was a living conscious sentient being just like a human. I did not see the difference between a human being and a tree, for me, everyone was the same. And there was a pine tree. It was very big and old of course, may not be as big as I thought it was. But the tree said that he was my grandfather. I believed him. One afternoon, we were camping there. And one afternoon we were in the tent and my baby brother was sleeping and I had a cot and I didn’t like to nap. I never napped ever. So it was time to nap. 

And I snuck out of the tent and I ran down to the pine tree, my parents were off with friends forever. And I was just looking at the pine tree talking. And then all of a sudden in the branches of the pine tree that a cloud opened up and there in the middle of this cloud, I saw a vision of a pickup truck running over the tent where my baby brother was. I immediately turned and started running up the hill. I didn’t think what is this, is this true. Like, there was no thought I just went into action. I ran up to the tent. I ran in the tent. I picked up my brother, who, for me, he was big. And I remember my mother’s words, don’t ever pick up your brother. Don’t ever drop your brother. And then I remember her words, hold his head up, if you let his head fall, you know. And so I remember thinking I have to get him out of here fast. And I tried to hold his head and like run out and go, don’t drop him, don’t drop his head. 

And just then when we got out a pickup truck, a group of teenagers had gotten in a truck. This was back in the day when trucks do this, put it out of gear and the truck went down the hill, went on the hill over the tent and crashed into that tree. That tree stopped the trunk. So those kids were saved. If it had been going, those kids may not have made it because the lake was on the other side. And my parents came over shrieking and screaming and they had no idea, like how could this happen, that we got out of that? So that was my first experience. These didn’t happen all the time. But when they did every few years, you know, it was very profound. So I don’t think much about it. My parents, my dad was like this… That was that, but then later on, I had a near death experience where I had witnessed something very horrible in the south. 

We moved to the segregated south 1966 or so, something like that, but I was six and I saw something that really broke my heart. So I decided I was going to return to heaven. I knew about heaven. And so I ate a bottle of aspirin because I asked my mother once, why can’t I eat that? Oh, you’ll die. What happens? You die, you go to heaven. So I’m like, okay, that sounds good. That sounds great. So I did that and effectively I did pass away. I remember being on the roof, the ceiling of the room, looking down at my parents as they rushed me to the emergency room. I remember being up in the top of the emergency room looking down and they were talking and mom was crying. And then I remember all of a sudden just disappearing. And I don’t have any memory like of who I was. 

I just was in light. And I was very happy. I forgot all about all of that. And then I heard a voice that said, are you sure you want to do this? And I said, do what? And the voice said, are you sure you want to make this choice? And I said, I don’t know what you’re talking about. And then the voice said, well, we want to show you some things, so you can make a choice, we want you to listen. And I started, I didn’t hear, I said I don’t hear anything. And they said, listen harder. And then very faintly, I heard my name and my name, I heard Deirdre, Deirdre. I went, who’s that? And the voice said who is that? Who is that? They kept saying, who is that? And I kept listening, and then I said, oh, well that’s me and the voice said yes. And then I said, well, who’s calling my name? And they said, listen, they just kept saying, listen. I listen and all of a sudden, my heart went and I recognize the voice as my mother. 

I went, oh, that’s my mother, I forgot all about that. So I flew back, back into the room and I’m looking down and they were like, she’s a goner. And my mother was over me crying and the voice said, well, you’ve been away for a long time, too long. If you want to go back now, you’re going to have to really focus and dive back in. But if you don’t make it in the first time, you won’t make it back in the body. Too much time has passed. And I just remember calling all my strength and I looked at my body and I just remember visualizing, like I was like a Hawk or a bird that was diving into Lake Michigan. And I dove back in and I’ll never forget when I hit my body. It was so painful. I felt like I was hitting concrete, and my body was so tiny. And I went from that bliss state to like pain, pain. 

And then I opened my eyes and my mom was, the doctor said, everybody was all, no one could believe it. Now this is back before anyone talked about near death experiences. And I never even started sharing this until a few years ago when people started talking about it, well, why would I share this story, who would want to hear it? So I never shared it with anyone really. But then after that happened, I started to see the angels all the time, very tall beings, white with just light, beams of light. They started to teach me many things. And that’s when I opened my angel school, my after school angel school, that was in second grade, I taught for about three or four months. And my friends were so skeptical and they didn’t believe me. I closed the school and I remember I was very angry. I was very upset. What’s wrong with them?

Tom McCarthy

You’re already blowing a lot of people’s minds with these stories. These stories you’ve told so far, they’re like, whoa, this is really either interesting, or why did this really happen?

Deirdre Hade

I’m glad you bring that up because there’s no reason for anyone to think that I’m in my right mind. And Tom, you know, I really have never shared these stories until a few years ago. Now spiritually people are open. People are talking. This was always private. I’ve been doing my work for decades, but the foundation of being a mystic, having these mystical experiences I haven’t shared. And you know, I think what I would say to somebody is don’t believe it. You don’t have to believe it, but just perhaps think about the possibility that we are more than what we see and that this world is more than what it is, because that gives us such a richness and healing, as your summit is about, healing.

Tom McCarthy

No, absolutely. And the thing that all we are is what we see is pretty outdated, that’s an archaic way of looking at things, you know, everything’s energy and there’s, I’ve met so many people like you that are mystics that can see things and pick up on things that not everyone else is hearing. And they’ve been so accurate in so many situations with information like you picking up on, you know, how you saved your brother or when your mother had cancer and you were 16 and she was given a year to live and you were able to help her extend her life by many, many years. And then I love too, when your mother did pass and you were there, how she appeared to you and said, you know, no one dies. You know, we don’t die. 

There is no such thing as death. So I think it’s healthy for people to look beyond what they take for truth just because they can touch it and feel it. So I think it’s really beautiful. And just so everybody knows, stay in here because we’re going to have a couple more questions, but at the end, you’re just going to do a special little meditation with sound bowl that I know you’re absolutely going to love. So we’re going to cut. We’re going to do that towards the end, but let’s talk about mystical experiences and can people who maybe have not experienced what you’re experiencing, can they learn to do it? Can they start tapping into that ability or more of their inner wisdom?

Deirdre Hade

Absolutely Tom. And that really I feel is my purpose is to awaken anyone who wants to know that place within you, to awaken that within you, because we all have that ability. We’re all one, I’m you and you’re me and me as the mystic, I’m an aspect of you, and you as someone who may not have had that experience, are really an aspect of me. So when we come together, I go through a series of energetic initiations and openings based on the tree of life from Kabbalah and the chakras, of course, from the Vedas and these guided journeys, radiance journeys will guide you into touching that place because the mystical experience works with several energy fields. So these are the very refined energy fields that, you know, you may not be able to pick up like this, you may not be able to see it with these eyes but you can sense it and feel it. 

And you can also experience it inside. This is where the experience lies. I also want to say that from my work of working a lifetime with people, I started doing readings when I was 18. So this is back in the day before anybody knew about this, it was just kind of a small group. What I’ve learned is that every person has had a mystical experience and you may have just forgotten about it. But if you look, every single person has had probably more than one experience that was out of body, time stopped, time shifted, things were different, not the same, a new meaning came in, everybody has had that.

Tom McCarthy

So everybody’s a mystic, they just don’t know it. They try to conform by going back to what everyone says is reality versus opening that gift up. And there’s so many great things that can happen when you open that gift up, you know, the guidance and the light and the healing. Talk about the healing light. I know when you were with your mom, I think it was one day with your mom where all of a sudden, like the whole room lit up, and you said like, who turned on the light? There was no lights turned on. How can we tap into that healing light, those that are coming to the Global Energy Healing Summit for healing, how can they tap into that healing light that you’ve experienced so many times and helped so many people with?

Deirdre Hade

Absolutely. Well, that’s what we’ll do in our journey today. I will be bringing all of us into the healing light to tap within the light is within you. It is within us. And when you venture inside and you find this treasure box, this treasure box really is your gift. And it’s what brings healing, joy, happiness, transformation into your life. And I’ve seen this with thousands and thousands of people that I’ve worked with worldwide, incredible transformation. Forgiving where people thought you could not forgive, those kinds of instances. And all that happens when we open up to the subtle energy frequencies of love, because it’s really about love, light is a thing of love. It is the love of non-duality, the level of oneness, the love of union, where we know that we are really just particles within a great being that is ourselves.

Tom McCarthy

Yeah. Well, that’s beautiful. And even, you know, our friend and you know, you agree with him, but he says the most powerful healing, the most powerful healer is unconditional love. I love too, how you talk about the light is within. A lot of people think there’s something, you know, I’m defective, I need something from the outside. Somebody has got to come fix me. Something’s gotta come fix me. I need a miracle from the outside. And what you’re saying is the light is on the inside. We just need to let it shine. We need to open up. The other thing that’s really interesting you talk about is this subtle energy, because I think everybody’s looking for the magic bullet, the thing that whoa, look at that, I feel instantly better, or wow, that hit me like a ton of bricks or a lightning bolt, but subtle energy is incredibly powerful. 

But it’s not as easy for people that are just, you know, living in the material world to tap into. You’ve got to be, like, it was hard for me. I used to just like, you know, not be able to experience that, now I can, but it took some time. It took really opening up and becoming vulnerable and becoming quiet and meditating and really listening and feeling. So this is really great stuff you’re sharing with people, I love it. Subtle energy sounds like it came, you know, the ability to see it and feel it came much easier for you. But you are saying that even people like me that had a hard time maybe early on, we can still do this.

Deirdre Hade

Well, I’ll tell you, I’ll be honest, in order to be able to continue to work with subtle energy fields, I have to work a practice, I don’t just wake up and go about my business and live normal because it does close down. And I went through periods in my life where it did close down and I suffered greatly. I was very, very depressed, very sad, very dark times. And I remember, and I would pray and pray, God, how do I get back? How do I get back? And I think this happened, so I would go on a journey of study, which I did of the Vedas. I had a guru for many years and went to India and I studied the Kabbalah tree of life for over 20 years, mentors in the I Am Presence teaching when I was 20, some of the original founders, they were ladies that were 90 years old and I’ve worked with the shamans in Mexico of the Black Jaguar lineage. So just coming from an scientific family, you know, study for me, it was like, that’s just what you do. You inquire. So through all the inquiring, the gift opened back up and opened back up and I learned to have more of a mastery of it. So what I do know is that anyone can open to the subtle energy fields because I became closed just like everyone, now I’m like everyone else. And I had to go on a journey to find my way back. And the gift of that was it showed me how to help people find their way back.

Tom McCarthy

That’s incredible, yeah. Because you wouldn’t have known otherwise because it was so easy for you earlier, but then you had to work to get it back. That really is a great gift. I love that.

Deirdre Hade

And I worked decades. So I tell people, my joke now is I say, oh, just give a little shout out and say, well you know, you can come and work with me and do my courses with me. Or you can go to India. I suggest you work with me. I love India. Everyone should go. But India, what my India journey was, it was very, very, very intense. I don’t think anyone needs to go through it. It was not India, the, you know, the five-star hotels. It was India. And I had several enlightenment awakening experiences, that were quite profound. Getting back to what you were saying about the subtle energy and the light within, yes, I just want you and everyone here who is with us to know the light within you has always been within you, and it is a light that no experience you’ve ever, ever had can touch. It is a kind of purity that is beyond purity, cause it is the light of your original soul, your original being. It is the light of God.

Tom McCarthy

That’s awesome.

Deirdre Hade

When you touch this, the traumas, the PTSD, things in our mind, which keep us in bondage to wash away. And if I may, because I always love stories. A little story to illustrate this. I was working through my foundation with the Women’s Prison Association in New York. And it was working with women who had been through harrowing life journeys, things that we can’t fathom. These women have been through that kind of trauma. They were all in jail. Most of them for defending themselves from their perpetrator or their pimp or their drug dealer, you know, trying to say, and they would try to defend themselves and they would be put in jail, that’s the story. So I’m working with these beautiful women and they have just come out of Rikers, very intense, very intense jail. And they were all sitting around with hats and crossed up and a lot of these women dress like men, look like men, they just, you know, all the femininity, it was not safe. And I went through the healing journey, which we’ll do a little piece of today, and brought them into this light. And afterwards they were very, very moved, lots and lots of tears. And I will never forget this one woman who was the most closed up woman. She was like, I don’t want to do this. What’s this, this is weird, right? I came over and put my hand on her heart cause she was really crying, and I said, what is it? And she opened her eyes and looked at me. She goes, ah, I never knew I had light inside of me. They found it. I thought the only thing inside of me was darkness. And see, her experiences were the darkness, she’d had a hard life, but the light was not touched.

Tom McCarthy

Wasn’t extinguished, yeah. That’s beautiful.

Deirdre Hade

I said that light will change your whole life, that light is who you are. And I’ll have to say of the women that we worked with with my foundation, the women that went through our program, none of them returned.

Tom McCarthy

Wow. That’s awesome. Great job Deirdre.

Deirdre Hade

Isn’t that something, none of them returned. 

Tom McCarthy

That’s beautiful. Well I think we’ve kept people in suspense long enough, so let’s give them an experience with you. And then we’ll come back at the end and talk about how they can do more with you too.

Deirdre Hade

Great, I love that. Thank you all for being here. It’s just really such a joy. So what we’ll do, this is my crystal healing bowl. I met the creator of the crystal bowls 20 years ago, Lapita. So I’ve been playing these crystal bowls a long time. And this is a crystal alchemy bowl. Alchemy means it’s infused with gemstones, which hold a frequency, so she’s an emerald and gold and platinum crystal ball. And the sound of the bowl opens up the frequencies in your the tree of life and your chakras. I’m gonna take you on a short visualization, It’s actually energy work and it’s not really visualization, it’s energy work. But I just want to let you know, what I’m leading you on, if your imagination doesn’t pick up, you don’t really see anything. Don’t pay any attention. That’s not what it’s about. Just go within and allow yourself to feel. What do you feel like? What do you feel like in your body? If you feel as though you went out, you went unconscious, where did I go, let that go. 

That means that your soul allowed your ego to move aside so your body and spirit could have healing. So that’s what that means, okay? We’ll begin so let’s close our eyes. Just listen. Now begin to simply watch your breath, watching the breath draw in, watching the breath drop out. As you feel your body relaxing, your shoulders relax, your face relax, your whole body kind of very still. And as you watch your breath, bring your attention to the top of your head, we’re at the top of your head and your forehead, and this location is the eye of the silent watcher. The I am of the I am, and just imagine that you’re now looking from an internal eye into your surroundings and into your body from a very neutral place, a place of complete neutrality, no judgment. You’re just observing. This is the observer. And now imagine you’re looking down over your face and you’re letting all the muscles in your face relax. You’re looking down over your shoulders, you just let all the burdens and tensions go away. 

You look down into your organs and there, they just fall away. Your feet just fall into the earth and your hands fall into the earth. So peaceful. This is the knower, the you that has existed since the beginning of time, it’s pure consciousness. And here from this pure consciousness, we look now into your heart as we enter the inner worlds, the heavens within of your soul, for here in your heart, a beautiful rose is opening with petals and petals of light. And you are falling now through this rose, falling and falling and falling deeper and deeper and deeper through petals of soft white light. And this soft white light is like silk, gently washing away anything of the day, any problem, anything that’s being held on to, it washes it away as we fall and fall and fall, and as we fall into our heart, through our heart, we gently arrive at a pair of golden doorways. These are the doorways to your soul. And here, these doorways have a name, a sacred name of your soul. And this sacred name now blows into the name of your soul. Again, just relax into this experience. 

The great doors open as you enter the sacred garden, the garden of your soul, and here in this sacred garden, many trees, many flowers are all around you, shining radiance, shining healing light, and here in the garden, you’re very young, maybe five years old. Remember what it was like to be in wonderment of life. And as you walk through the garden you see there down on a path, a beautiful image. This image is your guardian angel, your ascended master. It is a light being who is always loving you, always watching over you. Go to this being for this being awaits you. Follow the trail to this light. And as we come to this being, we see that they’re standing next to a fountain. This is the fountain of life. 

The fountain of light, the eternal waters of life, as this great being calls you close and takes a silver ladle, and puts it into this water and pours it over you, washing you, washing away trauma, karma, obstacles to you knowing who you truly are as this beautiful water falls down over your body. As this beautiful water pours in through your crown chakra. Now going down through your whole body, and you see there at your feet wisps of smoke, washing away, letting go, letting go, letting go until you are pure light, luminous, free, peace. We find ourself within the fountain now in a great crystalline temple, a temple of many crystals of light and windows of light as light pours in upon you and there with your beloved, in the center is a treasure box. Go to this box and open this box. 

And here in this treasure box is a gift of light for you. Take this gift, hold this gift in your hand, now place this gift in your heart, and as you place this gift in your heart, the light from this gift shines through your lungs and your organs, your whole body, feeling your whole body with healing light, luminous light. Simply commune with this presence for this presence is your eternal soul. Your I am, your creator. Simply being with this light, this love, is your place of healing, of transformation, of joy. As we listen to the mantra of enlightenment Allow this light to fill every cell, this is your moment. This is the light of the mystical self. You can even say quietly within, I am the light, I am the doorway to all that is, all possibility, all potential, all happiness. I am the doorway, and it is done now.

Tom McCarthy
