Bo Maxwell recounts her personal journey from a staunch skeptic with a degree in mathematics to becoming a psychic medium. Her transformation began at 32 when her deceased grandmother appeared to her in spirit form, a startling experience that led her to question her previous beliefs. This event, corroborated by her husband, prompted her to explore spirituality, initially using a pendulum for communication. She eventually developed clearer communication, seeing and hearing spirits, overcoming her reluctance to embrace these abilities due to societal perceptions.
Bo explains that seeing spirits is often a combination of a faded visual and an inner knowing. She describes it as seeing an object in a dimly lit room, where the visual is present but the clear identification comes from an intuitive understanding. She notes that spirits often appear in the age they passed, but can shift if discussing a specific period of their life. Her family had a history of spiritual abilities, which her mother shielded her from, but she discovered this heritage after her grandmother's passing.
Bo details the crossing-over process. When a person dies, they release their physical body but take their 'programming body' (mind and ego from this lifetime) and spiritual body through an 'in between' state. In this state, they review their life from multiple perspectives, including those they impacted. The physical body no longer restricts manifestation, so thoughts and beliefs can directly shape their experience. Spirits can get 'stuck' in the in-between due to fear, unresolved issues, or deeply ingrained beliefs (e.g., about punishment), which keeps them from fully transitioning.
Fear, such as the belief in hell or losing connection with loved ones, can cause spirits to halt their natural transition. Bo emphasizes that assistance for these 'stuck' spirits involves providing love and support, helping them release their focused fears, and allowing the automatic transition process to resume. She believes that the negative emotions tied to linear time diminish in the afterlife. Sudden deaths can also lead to temporary confusion for spirits, but typically, loved ones and guides are present to assist in their journey home.
Bo explains that individuals who caused harm in their lives experience an intense and challenging life review, reliving their actions from all perspectives, including those they hurt. This process applies to both negative and positive actions. She speculates that individuals who lack empathy, such as narcissists, might not get 'stuck' as easily because their experience of empathy-driven regret during the life review would be different. She believes every soul is inherently good, with the 'programming body' influencing actions in life.
Bo discusses a significant shift in consciousness, moving into the Age of Aquarius. She notes that the world has experienced a period of 'shaking the bucket' (referencing COVID and societal upheaval) which brought hidden issues to light. The pendulum, which was swinging towards individualism and negative forces, began to shift mid-to-end 2025, moving towards community, compassion, and balance. Upcoming years, particularly 2026 and 2027, are pivotal for cleaning up old systems and fully entering this new, higher vibrational state. This era will see people aligning their choices with their inner desires rather than external pressures.
In this new era, people will become more attuned to their intuition and spiritual gifts, as societal clutter and stress decrease. The removal of 'blinders' will lead to a broader understanding of existence. Bo highlights a significant increase in divine feminine energy globally since late 2025, which she sees as a force for balance. She describes the current societal turmoil as an 'extinction burst' from old systems that cannot survive in the new, higher vibration, akin to a temper tantrum before they fade away.
Bo addresses the idea that some people may not raise their vibration, explaining that this creates a necessary dichotomy for others to understand their own growth. Her deepest spiritual insight is that past lives are non-linear; all lives happen simultaneously from the perspective of the 'other side'. Each soul is a 'full soul experience' in every life, and these lives are more overlapped than sequential. The meaning of life, from her perspective, is to have experiences, collectively and individually, moving through them and collecting wisdom.
