In a mediumship reading, I sometimes receive information that might be awkward to share or does not match the information previously received. It used to baffle me and I would leave it out because I was not trusting spirit or myself. I had one of those situations yesterday, and I chose to share what I received expecting a negative response, but it was the exact opposite. This is a tricky business but ultimately what needs to happen does when you trust spirit.
Akashic Records Message:
The benefit of starting the day with prayer and mediation is that it re-connects you with that internal eternal flame that is forever steady and glowing brightly. It provides a protective shield for when you step out into the illusive world and your flight or flight responses are triggered many times during the day. You will find that you are more quickly able to recognize that even as events appear to be unfolding out of chaos, they need not threaten your internal peace and order.
In mediumship training by Spiritualist Churches, there is a technique to enhance mediumship readings called “sitting in the power”. It is a form of training that helps you become familiar with the feeling of spirit around you. My initial training was directly from my main personal Guide so I was very familiar with spirit around me. I had a walk in closet and I set up a reclining lounge chair with blankets and pillows and I sat in the dark and did deep breathing. I would sit in the closet for an hour every day. The close proximity of the four walls of the closet made it conducive to feeling outside sensations. I was physically touched at times and as I waited for the presence of my Guide, an energy would come over me and I would experience a slight paralysis. I was always taken out of body for experiences/training, but there were times when I returned that I was encouraged to sit longer in that state of paralysis. I was filled with an expanded energy that became painful and uncomfortable to hold after awhile. But over time, as I was being stretched, I got better at it. It was physical training. I didn’t know it at the time, but what I was actually doing was re-creating the spirit cabinet that physical mediums use. This training instilled in me a heightened awareness of spirit and I am used to having constant companions. I am aware I am not alone but when I want to be alone, I just am. I don’t engage and they allow me my “privacy”. But when I take a nap or am about to fall asleep, the loud sound of the presence of energy always approaches. Since I have re-enlisted to work with spirit, I started meditating again daily. And it is like I never left. I sit quietly and breath (I no longer sit in a closet). And it isn’t long before I am somewhere else, experiencing another dimension and bringing back images and messages. So it really doesn’t matter what your intention is. If you are called to work with spirit, they will pick you up the moment you begin to enter that altered state.
There came a time in my life in middle age, after overcoming the challenges of youth, when I was called up by my spirit guide. Mediumship was not even a thought at that time. I just knew I was being summoned and I answered the call. Many of the early messages and instructions came through dreams. In many of the dreams, I was attending classes but I had no books, pens or notepads. I recall writing words that sparkled in another language on a chalk board. I also recall being given a bar of soap to shower with. It was an analogy that I needed cleansing. I had some habits that were not conducive to achieving a higher vibration so they had to be addressed. I began to receive assignments telepathically. One of the assignments was to bring a bag on my walks and pick up litter. Another assignment was to bring bags in my car and when I spotted roadkill, I was to remove the animals from the middle of the road and place them on the side of the road with a blessing. I also found that I was waking up each day with a new mental clarity that wasn’t there the day before. I was slowly being spiritually expanded and this was a gift – one that I had no ability to achieve on my own. I woke up one morning with a message in my head that I will never forget. “You have access to free knowledge and schooling”. At the time, I took it literally looking for how I had access to attend school. I had so much to learn. This was just scratching the surface of what was to come. There would be bigger assignments and sacrifices, but I was also given rewards for my hard work in the form of unbelievable supernatural experiences. These are what kept me going – for what I could only guess. But it was not mediumship. That was only a side effect.
When I first began my mediumistic practice, I was like a kid in a candy store. I wanted to try everything. These are a few things I did that I would not do today.
1. I bought a recorder to capture EVP’s, (electronic voice phenomenon), an EMF meter to detect energy nearby, took photos in the dark to capture orbs, and I went to cemeteries to communicate with spirits. I basically did my own personal ghost hunting and definitely encountered spiritual activity. I would not do any of this today and consider it dangerous. There are many spirits out there seeking to “play” with unsuspecting medium newbies or ghost hunters.
2. I asked to connect with spirits of people I knew and I would put out there what I received without permission of the people I knew. I was so thrilled myself that I was actually communicating with spirits, and I wanted everybody to know. Today, the only people who need to know that I am a medium are the people that my guides send to me for the purpose of healing spirit communication.
3. I offered free readings online. I would not do this today as it undermines not only my energy and effort, but the energy and effort of the spirits coming through. Anyone who is not willing to pay for a reading does not want a reading.
4. I joined a Facebook mediumship practice group with thousands of people and all readings were via photographs. This is no different than ghost hunting in that you have no idea what kind of spirit you are engaging with in the physical or spirit realm. There were many times I felt off about what I was receiving. Today, I work with my guides and I am never confused about how to proceed.
5. Feeling the need to let people know I am a medium. I no longer have this need. I know it does not make me special in their eyes, and in fact, it makes others uncomfortable, especially if they are not aligned with spirit communication. And there is no way I can know this. When you work with spirit in this way, they do the marketing for you.
6. Fearing that nothing will come during a mediumship reading. My fear paralyzed me so much that it prevented clear communication. My ego wanted badly to not fail. Today, fear of failure does not paralyze me. I know spirit will speak if I allow it. With the passage of time, I have become more receptive and communication is more readily available.
The Purple Ray of Light governs forgiveness, transformation and spiritual growth. While we all carry the Divine rays to varying degrees, at certain points, a specific ray will be more prominent. If you pay attention, you can know what is prominent for you. I am in purple right now.
We have guides with us at all times. They are either cheering us on, or trying to get us to move in a specific direction to further our goals, or to avoid an unnecessary unpleasantness. And at times, they are also watching us in awe and frustration at the same time as they witness us trying to carry our world on our own shoulders completely unaware of their existence. I am blessed as my guide put me through a spiritual boot camp. I was told to quit my job. I had a great fear of poverty so that was a tall order for me, but I reluctantly did it. (At this point, I already had a pretty strong relationship with my guide and trusted him. I figured I would win the lottery or something similar since they wouldn’t let me go without money… boy was I wrong). After about a month of no source of income, I got cold feet and tried to get another job. Nobody would hire me. Not even as a retail clerk. So I started selling items on ebay to bring money in. Then I received notice that in 2 weeks, my townhouse was being tented for termites, and I had to vacate for 3 days. I had no money, nowhere to go and I had 6 animals. As the date for the tenting came closer, I just got on my knees and surrendered. 1 day before, a friend asked where I was going, and I said I didn’t know. He happened to know someone who had a temporary vacant house that I could stay at. So I was provided for. Then bills started to become due and the day before, something for the exact amount of money would sell so I could pay the bill. The mortgage company foreclosed on my home for non-payment but the papers were lost for 3 years so I lived rent free in my home for 3 years. My car payment was not being made and I didn’t know how that was going to resolve. I had a car accident (nobody was injured) coming out of a grocery store and the car was considered totaled so I did not have to pay it off. I no longer had a car but I had a bike. I rode my bike to yard sales to find things to buy to resell. I was living on ebay sales and giving Akashic Records readings and all of my food, and utility bills were paid through this. I would head out on Saturday mornings, not knowing where to go, but I was directed telepathically to the general area and I always found the yard sales. There was one time where I was loaded up with items including a gaming system and my bike broke down. A young man came by in a car and asked me if I needed help. I accepted and he put my bike in the back of his car and he drove me to the area where I lived. Our conversation was spiritual in nature. I thanked him when I got out and asked him his name and he replied “Angel”. I lived very close to Goodwill so sourced there frequently. I was looking at a purse by Alexander McQueen to resell but they wanted $20 for it. I decided it was too expensive and didn’t know who Alexander McQueen was. I was riding my bike home and was told to go back and buy that purse. I did and made almost $300 from that purse. After 3 years of following guidance, witnessing countless miracles, and being provided for time and time again, I began to live my life based on guidance because my life depended on it. Fast forward, the house was finally foreclosed, and I was finally able to get a job, and one job led to a better and better job and I was able to purchase another beautiful townhouse so I was “rewarded” for trusting. When you live like that, you achieve a knowing rather than a believing in unseen forces. As Jesus said “the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it”. What I would say is there are probably many being called to the narrow way, but few are answering.
I always know there is a good chance I will outlast my pets, and I will experience grief when they decide to leave, but I will continue to adopt as long as I live. I recently personally experienced the loss of one of the best friends I have ever had, and was not prepared for the grief I would experience. Jack was part human – he was so in tune to my son and me and was so independent in his own soul. He was a unique personality and my son and I share in the grief of losing a very dear friend. We are both better people as a result of having Jack in our lives. As a medium, I know life continues and I experienced all the tell tale signs that Jack was still with us through the EMF meter, and through us calling out the name Jack by mistake when we meant to say another name. I also see his little orb – I recognize him. I also saw him in my dreams and he was beautiful fluffy white and healthy. But all of these things did not alleviate my grief as he was missing from my life. His bed was empty, all of the things we shared together were no more. I came home to the silence devoid of the excited barking that I was taking too long to get in the house to greet him. I was also blocked from the light of God. I could not pray, meditate, and mediumship was out of the question. I was shut down. But little by little I am returning. I was able to pray this morning. We also have our beloved Oliver who we both thought would go first as he is already 18, but he stays loyally with us as we all provide each other comfort. But I know before long I will have to endure the loss of another great friend. But I will take courage as it is all in the name of love.
While I am a medium, I know that is not my true purpose. There are many people who fear death. The closer one comes to death, if they have not had experiences with spirit in their life, they can feel a lot like a lifeboat lost at sea. Because of my experiences with spirit and because of the blessed spiritual life I lead, which includes frequent out of body experiences, I am one of the many who know there is life after death. I have looked down on my body with great gratitude for housing me and a great loving familiarity but I have seen that we are separate. And I viscerally know and understand the all too familiar feeling of coming back into my body after a traveling session which is always guided. So without explaining these things to people I meet or already know, I let my energy speak. When you possess a confidence about life (and death), people who need that can benefit from being around that energy. I have some elderly people in my life who simply do not believe in mediumship or spirit guides. And I would never dream of trying to convert them. But I know on some level I can offer them my blessings and comfort, and they will feel comforted not really knowing why, and it doesn’t matter. A true spiritual warrior knows their enlightened name is Nobody and does their best work in silence.
I recently had a client who came for a Tarot Card reading that someone else purchased for her. She had never had a psychic reading before and seemed a little bit nervous but I couldn’t tell if she was just like that or if it was the reading. So I began by explaining what I do, how I connect, and my other services (mediumship being one of them). She confided that she recently had a love one pass over. As the reading progressed, I was compelled to tell her I was feeling that she felt fearful about something. She said she was fearful that I was going to bring her loved one through. I had automatically assumed she was familiar with how the various psychic modalities worked, and did not tune into her energy quickly enough. As soon as she said this, I explained how that would not happen without her consent (it can be very traumatic to be directly told about a loved one in spirit if you did not ask for it, and is considered unethical in the mediumship community). Once we talked, she was visibly more relaxed and the reading ended well. But I am sure we both learned a lesson that day. Only go to a psychic if you are completely comfortable with it. And as for me, there will be a brief explanation on exactly what will occur and that modalities will not be bleeding into each other, and ensuring the other person is comfortable before I go further.
