Meditation Stories with intuitive channeler artist Benét Peach. Tap Into Your Intuition

Hello. My name is Joy D. Fanning, an astronaut of life, and I help people go inward to explore. This video is part of a series called Meditation Stories where you might hear me share some of my own stories, but the main part is to share other people's experiences because there are so many ways to meditate and so many things that come to us when we meditate. So without further ado, Here's the video. Bene, hello!

Hi Joy!

Hi! This makes my heart so happy to see you, you have no idea, but I'm pretty sure you do have an idea actually.

So mutual.

Yes! So for everybody watching, Bene and I have known each other, we just figured out 5 years, right? Yeah. Yes. Yeah, we met, we were co-workers. Yeah, for this tiny little family company, right? But, um, I really wanted to have you on, Bené, because you, like I told you before, you were like— there's a word I'm searching for that I can't find, but I'll use critical. Like, you were like the catalyst— there we go— for like, for helping me like dive into spirituality and everything. So like, I'm sure I've mentioned you in another video where I'm like, my friend Monet helped me do this and stuff. And so like, it makes me so happy that like I get to— well, not I get to share, but like on my channel, like have you here and like everybody experience your energy because I fucking love it. But thank you. Can you really Can you tell, um, everybody a little bit about yourself?

Yeah, um, my name is Bene Peach and I currently live in Oklahoma. I am a tattoo artist and a mother to 2 babies. Oh yeah, I did tattoo you.

You did? Yes.

And I do tattoos based off astrology charts, um, based off channeled messages, and I'm just now starting to get into ritual tattooing.

Oh, I've seen some of those. Yeah. Oh, I got a cool story before we jump in because I've— I got this one in here in Colombia to like—

I love it.

And literally the girl who did this to me, she's, she's actually Venezuelan. Her name's Astrid, but she's like The Venezuelan you, like, literally. And I was like, this is the most beautiful thing ever, to have Bené do this one and then Astra do this, and their energies are so similar. And she was like, I've never done color before. And I remember I was like, this is aligned, of course, and this is so perfect. So like, thank you, because these feel like my armor or something now. Like, I'm just I'm so in love with them. I love that they're together now.

I really— I love that you manifested that because you would.

Well, I always want to get a few more because I want two more to be like the elements. I can't decide if I want this to be like water or air, but obviously this one's fire.

Yeah.

And I don't know where the others will go, but When I'm ready, I'll manifest. I'll probably use Ash because she's down here, but she's a traveler too. But yeah, yeah, well, like I said earlier, you were the catalyst— that was the word— like, for my spirituality. So like, when I was like, what, okay, if I'm 37 now and it was— I was 32. Oh wow, go me! I didn't realize I was that young when we met. I thought it was like 35 or something. That was just 2 years ago. Okay, so I was 32 when we met, but I know you're a little bit— you don't have to say your age.

I was, I was 23 at the time.

Let's say, yeah, you were a little bit younger than me. But yeah, even this, to me, the age stuff doesn't even matter because like I was— I considered myself an atheist when we met. Like, I was open-minded to things, but as far as like God and all the things surrounding that, just because of my own past, I was a little like, uh, about it. And just you being you and like being like, oh Joy, have you ever tried this, or have you looked into this? And I just— your energy alone, Renee, was like all right, something's up with this girl. Like, she's got it and she's freaking 23. Like, I knew you were really young and I was like, I need to figure this out. Like, what— literally, what is she smoking? Because I want to smoke it too. And I did. But that's like, I was just drawn to your energy even though I didn't even like know the words for it, you know what I mean?

Yeah, well, thank you. That means a lot. I definitely think that like one of my deepest intuitions is for people's energy, and it was really obvious to me that you were a seeker that was looking for a lot more than what you were getting from life. I don't remember like exact things, but it was just very clear. But it's awesome that you were open and that you're here now. I love doing this. It's just like amazing. You just kept seeking. I loved it.

I honestly don't think I could be any other way. It's just like, like in my DNA or something, right? Like, absolutely.

Well, astrology chart, I remember that.

Yeah, you did my chart.

Aries moon, which is a moon that is always seeking like philosophical expansion and meaning. So it makes sense.

But to bring us finally to the topic of meditation, right? This is called Meditation Stories. How did you get into meditation? Like what age were you? Or like how did it work for you?

I want to say I was probably around like 16, 17 when I really started meditating. I remember really specifically that a book that changed my life, one of the first ones, was Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse. And that is kind of like a fictional account of Buddha's life. But it kind of opened the door to me to Buddhism. I'm not a Buddhist by any means, but I liked reading about it a lot, meditation, and all these topics. And I kind of just dove in and haven't stopped ever since.

That is awesome. Wow, at 16. Oh man, I can only imagine what that would have done for me at 16. So like when you first started, was it hard for you or was it like instant amazingness?

I actually think it might be harder for me now for some reason, but I will say that I struggled with a lot of mental health stuff in my earlier years and meditation was something that helped me absolutely immensely. Like, I really feel like by now in my life I have gotten through that, and I attribute it to the combination of microdosing and macrodosing, but more of like a daily microdosing and meditation routine.

Oh nice, that's so helpful. Yeah, I haven't microdosed myself, but I've only heard wonderful things about it.

It's amazing.

Yeah, it is amazing.

It really rewires the brain.

Well, and it helps with so many things, right?

Yeah, yeah. It basically works because of neuroplasticity, which is the brain's ability to like change, you know, like our patterns impact the way that we actually are. So if we do something over and over, it literally changes our brain. Which is why we are such creatures of habit, I think, too, you know.

Oh, totally. Yeah.

But microdosing specifically rewires your brain and connects parts of it that are not connected while you're sober. And what's amazing about it too is that you don't even feel high on a microdose, you know, like you can go about your normal day. It does less to me than eating sugar does.

Yeah, like it's Well, it's just a tiny amount, which is the micro part. Yeah.

Yes.

Anytime. That's awesome. That is so cool. Now, if I remember correctly, like, I know it was like 5 years ago, but I know you've had some cool experiences, right? Like some in meditation and some in other forms. Do you have any like cool stories you'd want to share?

I've definitely had outer body experiences in deep meditation when combined with psychedelics. Um, and I would say that now I actually use meditation to go into a trance state for like channeling. Like, I don't do actual psychic readings like what you do, but for my art, I do try to receive like channeled messages to go into the art. And meditation is a huge part of that. Like, I use meditation to go into that state of mind, which I imagine you do as well.

Yeah, yeah. Well, I call my reading a meditation reading because I— and I meditate with the client because I'm mainly clairvoyant. So it, it helps me if my eyes are closed. I can do it sometimes with my eyes open, but it's, it's easier for me and more comfortable to just do it through meditation. Yeah, I love that you do that for your art. Yeah. Oh yeah. So how does the channeling work? Like, do you get an image, or do you get like words, or just like a knowing?

Yeah, I'm more of a clairsentient. Like, it's almost just like a download, and I don't think I would be able to tap into it as much if I hadn't spent so much of my earlier years meditating, you know, because It's like meditating teaches you the ability to quiet down all the noise that is coming from outside your mind and tap into the one inside of you. Well, to just really like be able to get into that state and listen.

Yeah, totally. Get in that observer mode. Yeah, you're not— the thoughts just kind of are watching your thoughts. Yeah, well, I'm like the astronaut now, right? So for me, it's— I just leave and I don't even— then I'm not thinking about my thoughts. I'm not focused.

Leave your body.

Yeah, yeah, that's, that's kind of my whole thing because to me there's, there's so much to explore in our 3D, but even more, a zillion times more to explore in the other realms. And to me, it's just as cool, if not super more cooler, you know?

Yeah. And even just our intuition itself, you know, like beyond guides and everything that is around to tap into, like just our intuition knows so much. And I feel like the way society is built is to distract us from that. And there's so much outside noise, and it just is harder and harder to tap into it. But I think it's more important than ever. To listen to your own truth and drown out all the other shit.

Yeah, I literally had a siren as you were saying drown out all the other noise, right? Yeah. Wow. Have you ever, um, like met any entities or anything?

Oh yeah. Yeah, definitely. I work with Kali because I had a few encounters with her. That's mainly in my magic practices, but when I'm actually, um, like channeling and downloading, I don't know exactly who I am connected to.

Do you ever ask?

No, I haven't actually. I kind of just think it's my intuition, but I mean, I'm sure I'm definitely assisted because I have a lot of signs all the time, you know, like repeating numbers or synchronicity, or just, yeah, psychic moments. And I'm just like, whoa, I just thought about that and then it happened, you know.

You know, I love that. I love that. Yeah, I think I've seen— now it wasn't for myself, it was in a reading for someone else, but I've met Kali too.

Awesome.

Yeah, she's got a very interesting energy. Yeah, like, and if you look at her, like an image of her, it's almost scary, right? But when you sense her energy, to me it's not scary, it's raw.

Absolutely. Yeah.

No, it's not. It's to me more to celebrate than fear, right?

The same around death, maybe, that we're scared. Is she like encompasses all that death and life and rebirth and beginning and end and the black hole that creates all of existence?

Well, I, I don't know. I'm not scared of death myself. Like, if anything, I'm excited because I'm like, that's just the next step on this adventure. Not that I'm like rushing to it, but it's like when it comes, welcome. Yeah, like, okay, let's do this.

I always like before kids, and then I'm like, oh, I have to stick around now.

Well, I don't have kids. I just have two cats. But I still want to stick around. Yeah, I get what you're saying. For me, I work with Shiva with myself, who's also about— yeah, he works with my third eye a lot, and he's all about destruction and like recreation too. I don't know if I'm getting the terms right. Sorry, my cats are making noise. But to me, Like, I think a lot of people fear that destruction. It sounds so negative, but it's not. It's, to me, it's a transmuting, it's a change. It's not something to fear. And so like, I'm saying this, so if people run into these entities, yeah, maybe they look different, right? But that focus on like their energy, not the way they're depicted. And yeah, embracing the chaos in a way, because that's what gives birth, you know. Like, I don't know, I'm just ranting now.

I think it's cool that you bring up entities too, because I think meditation puts us in the subconscious realm of our mind, and that's where archetypes and myths live, and that's where all these entities come from and have been depicted by humans over time. And it's like we're just tapping into these creatures that represent so many things about our life, and they're depicted in numerous ways, but they all come back to themes.

Well, for me, it's their— it's like their frequency or energy signature, however you want to say it. It's Sometimes I don't even see them, right? It's— I sense them and I'm like, that's an angel, or that's Shiva.

Yeah.

Or— and I, I might not even know their name, but I'll be like— they'll either give it to me, or like you, I just don't know. But I'm like, okay, this is your energy, right? Um, and, and it's very specific. Um, like, if I can tell if it's a, a human kind of energy, even if they don't have a body, like, like a dead person or something, it feels human. I don't know how to explain it. It just feels human.

Yeah.

And if it's not human, it, it feels different. And it, it's really hard to explain, but it's like once you experience it, it's just like this knowing that comes with it. And yeah, so like, yeah, I'm clear. I have several gifts, but the clairvoyant is the one I use the most, I guess. But that's another thing. Some entities, especially when I'm like channeling for other people, like they will communicate to me in the way that that person So like, if they're a clairaudient, the entity or whatever that I'm working with for them will speak to me, and I know that that's them. It's like a hint in a way, you know? Isn't that really cool? Yeah, and that's— I just love it all.

It's amazing. I actually recently, now that you mention it, I had, um, I got sick with the C word, I believe, a few months ago, and I had a really high fever, and I just meditated through it. And I had a visitation from an angel that said it was Archangel Gabriel, and he was telling me that, like, we all need to be detoxing right now of heavy metals and of, like, GMOs and, like, everything that clouds us, because not only does it make us sick, but it keeps us from our higher selves and our intuition and like communication with all these entities. And like the next day I looked it up and he is literally the archangel associated with the kidney and detox. I was like mind blown because I didn't know that at all. Like, I don't really work—

I just love that stuff, right? Like No, that's how Shiva was for me. Like, I didn't know shit about Shiva except he was like a Hindu thing, right? And like, then when I looked him up, like, he has a snake around his neck. My, my— I don't want to say favorite, but like, the spirit animal I work with the most is a snake.

That's awesome.

And, oh, there was some other sign. Oh, he has a crescent moon. And I don't know why, but I identify with the crescent moon a lot. So it was like, and I didn't know any of this about him. And then it was like, okay, so like, I meet the Shiva guy, and I know he's working with me. Let me research him. And then to see all these symbols around him that I already was aware of. Yeah, it's that synchronicity that I mean, and once you start on this path, and it's— I kind of— to me it feels Da Vinci Code-ish, like the— so they're just everywhere, right? Like, and you're like, the numbers, everything. And well, I—

because like those symbols that are used to represent him come from the subconscious human mind, like the Akashic Record, and we all have access to that. So when you are seeing it, or anybody really, like if they're open, I think that they can like download what it means, because we all have access to that Akashic Record and that, like, symbol of— or that layer of symbolism in our minds. It's actually funny you say Shiva too, because you were just telling me that you feel like this time of night you're scatterbrained and you like it because you can kind of like play around. And I feel like Shiva connects to that because he's the lord of dance. You know, and play.

Yeah, yeah. Oh, and he has a drum, right?

Yeah, exactly.

And I freaking— if I like— I took a drum class in college because I'm like, if I was going to be in a rock band, I would so want to be the drummer. Like, I am like all about the drums. Like, I will air drum more than air guitar.

Like, like meditation, because I've been meaning to get one and I keep forgetting. That it seemed like a really popular—

Yeah, I need to look into that. Yeah, because I mainly like meditate with binaural beats or those— I can't say that word— Solfeggio, whatever frequencies. Sometimes I'll do like shamanic drums, but like, oh, but I live in Colombia, so people do have drum circles in the freaking park every Saturday morning, and I can hear them from my apartment, and it's Sometimes we've gone to the park and I've like seen them in person and just being in that energy with those drums and oh, I love it. And I don't know if they're like doing Native stuff or just whatever, but it's beautiful. They were going just tonight. They aren't going now, they stopped, but they were over there in a basketball court. But yeah, it's—

you should just and experiment with it. I think I have a book I can send you too.

Well, I'm down with that. Yeah, yeah. But that's just like these, right? Like, I already forgot about the drum, but like, I knew there was so many symbols around that guy that I was like, okay, I can't be like ignoring this, right? Like, okay. And yeah, when I look at my own third eye, it's vertical, like she was too. So it's just like, all right, all right, I get it. Like, we're connected. Okay. Paying attention. I'm paying attention. I got the message. I'm just so, like, blessed. And like, there's another word I'm looking for, like, humble.

Humbled.

Right? Like, to be on this journey. And because like what we were talking about off camera, like so many people they're just caught up in what's going on in the world, and they're not focused. And one of the messages I got for this, um, the 22nd of February, which was yesterday— yeah, oh shit— well, I channeled the message, and it was like, don't focus on that. Like, yeah, it's gonna be a shitstorm. Don't worry about that. Like, we got your back. You focus on this, okay? And that was like for everybody, not just me, because yeah, it's enough. Yeah, I probably haven't watched the news, I think, in like two— well, over a year now.

Excellent. Toxic thing that is.

Well, it, you know, like when I— when COVID first started— see, I said the word— when it first started, I would like watch CNN every day. Because I was very scared. I was in a foreign country by myself and it was lockdown. I was already like out of my comfort zone, right? Because I don't speak enough Spanish and in a foreign country, so culture shock and everything and learning everything. And then now I'm locked in my one— my little studio apartment in this foreign city. So it was very disorienting for me. And I kind of like took a break from spirituality, everything. You know, I don't get mad at myself for doing that, because that's what I needed at the time. But when that was like last year in January, when that Capitol thing happened, like I would watch it. And then at the end of the day, I was just— the energy I felt in me I didn't like it. And I was like, I'm never gonna watch the news again. I like this, this energy. I realize now it's coming from what I'm viewing. And I, this feels icky. And I know it's not necessarily mine either, you know, like, because I'm an empath. So it's like, this is the ickiness of the whole shebang.

And I'm like, So I don't think you use daily and be tapped into your intuition. Like, I just don't think they can coexist, unfortunately.

No, I— yeah, because even when I lived in Portland, like, 5 years ago and stuff, like, I would watch the news, but I would also meditate, and it was kind of hit and miss on— because I was brand new to it, right? But like most time I just fall asleep, or get real calm, like nothing cool happened. I had several amazing experiences, but they were very rare. And I think it was because I was like, in both worlds. So it's like, now, just to give a timeline. So I stopped watching the news in January. And then I started working on my writing. I wrote a novel, I put my energy in that. And then I, when I lost my teaching job, I, I was meditating at least 2 times a day by that point. And then like, just, it was amazing, the connection with my guides, and just, it just like all blew up in this beautiful rainbow of amazingness. And I, I do credit that to me just kind of putting the shielders on or the blinders or whatever. And like, you know what, I'm not going to focus on that. And like when people, like my family in America will call me and be like, do you— how's— yeah, they'll want to talk about that stuff. And I'm like, I don't know. I don't know how things are here. One, I don't speak Spanish, so I can't like watch the news even if I wanted to, right? Like, I don't know what they're saying. I was like, it's the same. Everything is the same. Nothing's really changed yet. And, and it, I think it kind of makes them like, what? How do you not know? And it's like, you actually can live just fine without knowing what's going on. It's not that bad.

Wild, that concept. I think we're literally in a state of psychological warfare right now. And I think like there are powers at hand that are trying to distract us from connecting to our guides and our higher selves. Like, really, I think that they know it's a time when humans are being contacted, and it's like change is trying to be ushered in. I believe in the Age of Aquarius, and all this shit is just clouding distractions.

No, I agree, because it's shifting. And it— to me, with my third eye, it looks like this grasping. Like, they're like, oh shit, yeah, I gotta catch as much as I can because it's leaving.

People are like falling for it. But then if you speak to individuals, like, it's really— it's not even like that. Like, there's a lot of people that see what's going on, you know, and there's a lot of movements that are happening that are trying to oppose these forces. So if you were to watch the news every day and not listen to your be like, oh, humanity, like there's no hope for us, right? You connect with your intuition and individuals, I think it's a much brighter picture.

Yeah, well, there's so much being projected onto us that if you're not aware, you're gonna claim it as your own, right? Which is kind of what I felt that day with the Capitol. I realized what was happening.

It's like addicting.

Like, yeah, it's addicting.

Yeah, it's a very, very low vibration. It's the reptilian part of our brain, you know, that literally turns that on. It's like the fight or flight. It has no, like, compassion or love or intuition to it. It just strips all that shit away, and it's just not where we want to be.

Not where I want to be. No, and I don't wish it. I really don't wish it on anybody. And to me, like, the really the only way to help is to just be me and let my energy kind of speak for itself. And like, I've had friends be like, I see you're posting all this stuff, but I don't know what it means. I'm like, that's okay. You don't have to know what it means. You know, like, you don't have to be, you know, where I'm at, but I'm like, I don't care anymore. And I think a lot of us are kind of coming out of the closet, and it's time. It's our time, and energetically speaking. And yeah, like, I have a lot of friends and we're all starting this, and it's like this movement, right? Like a wave of energy, and we're just surfing, surfing along on it.

Yeah, because unapologetically speaking truth, if that's your role, is like a really important thing right now.

Well, I feel like you've been doing that.

I've been blessed to never— people think that is one— that is like one of my deepest blessings in life. But I know it's not like that for everybody, and I know it's not everybody's role to speak out. But I think if you have it in you, it is important to do because it really gives uses a lot of other people's power to do so.

Yeah, totally.

Messages all the time from people being like, thank you for speaking up. Like, I'm too scared to talk to my friends about this, but it helps me know that I'm not alone. And I'm like, yes, you are not. Be true to yourself.

Well, like, I also got the message that now's the time we're all kind of finding each other and, and connecting. And I know that's true for me. I'm meeting people every day who are on this journey, and it's like, I, it's like, I shouldn't be surprised, but I'm always like, surprised, and amazed and like happy about it. Because, I mean, it's like, okay, it's like a secret underground movement feeling like, we all know what's going on. Or, you know, I don't watch the news, but I vaguely know what's going on. And, but I live in my own world. So to speak. And it's not just my world, it's a lot of other people's world too. And we're finding each other. I think this— I know so many more people in so many countries now than when I did in America. I might have known like one foreigner. And now I know more non-Americans than Americans. I just love it. Like, I, I love this connectivity from all over the globe, and it just shows that, like, it's happening and it's everywhere.

And, and it's the duality of technology too, because Aquarius represents technology, and it's like there are forces using technology to psychologically try and sabotage us, but at the same time, it's what we are using to connect with each other and rise above it.

That's a great point. Yeah, it's polar. Yeah. Well, but then where can people find you if they want to like follow you and see all your cool stuff?

I am most active on Instagram and my handle is @benepeachtattoo. Yay!

I'm following you, of course. Oh, thank you so much, Bene. I loved having you here today. This has been amazing. Yeah, I looked at the clock. I don't know how long we've gone, but it's been a while because it's just so easy, right?

Yeah, I have no idea.

Thank you.

Thank you.
