We watched as the 15 month old child explored the world around her on wobbly legs, taking a few steps and then lowering herself back to the carpet to crawl again. She probably is yet unaware that she is typically the center of entertainment at family gatherings.

As time went on, we laughed with her and egged her on to give the upright position another try and she did, time and time again, making her way back and forth between her mother, her grandfather and me.

To inspire her to walk again I turned on the radio, remembering she loved to bounce and dance to the music. She immediately stood up, obviously realizing that it was more fun to dance with me while standing. She had let go of my hands and was bouncing and clapping as she headed unsteadily toward the empty lawn chair on the enclosed porch speaking and singing in baby talk. Read the rest of this entry »

Sometimes when people pass over to Spirit, they are taken by surprise and aren’t sure where they are or how they got there. These individuals find themselves stuck in their own environment unable to progress, and wondering where everyone else has gone.

How do people get unstuck and move forward? Well, that’s where rescue work comes in! Some of the most rewarding experiences in my mediumship career have occurred during the rescue sessions that I have been privileged to attend.

Once every month, a group of us would sit in a meditation circle and, with the aid of a facilitator, we would start the rescue process.  After sitting quietly for a few minutes, one of us would ‘take on the persona’ of someone who needed assistance in crossing over and getting to the light.

If you have not experimented with automatic writing, I encourage you to do so. This is the process of producing material that originates from the spirit world, rather than our individual consciousness. It is a great way to access and download poetry, music, philosophy, and all manner of beauty from spirit.

The following is an example of some automatic writing that I channeled at 10 years of age:

Just as sure as daylight breaks and dusk falls, the seasons change. They are cyclical, representing a constant and assured progression towards renewal and rebirth – an unquestioning and reassuring routine that governs all. Many do not question the linkage of natural order with all else in their lives; just as some do not appreciate the connection between their behavior and their fortune.  Read the rest of this entry »

I can remember so clearly, like it was yesterday, when my cousin Lori passed away. It has been 14 years to the day. I loved her like a sister. We did everything together. Her mother was my mother’s older sister and my godmother. Lori and I were ten years apart to the month.

Aunt Emma, Lori’s mother was like a mother to me. Lori was an only child. From the day I was born Aunt Emma took care of me as if I were also her own child. Lori and I knew what each other was thinking before we even spoke. We had a special bond.

In our young adult life I depended on Lori for emotional support and almost everything about my life. We spoke on the phone daily sometimes several times a day. We shared our most intimate secrets and feelings. Read the rest of this entry »

A psychic channel is a person who acts as a bridge between this physical world and the spiritual realm.

There are two types of channeling. The first is consciousness channeling, which is a process of awareness in which you are receiving information from a higher source – by connecting directly with your spirit guilds or angels, or by accessing information from your higher self. The higher self is the spiritual aspect of your being that contains all knowledge.

The information that you channel in this type of channeling is accessed through your psychic senses of clairvoyance (seeing), clairsentience (feeling) and clairaudience (hearing). The channel therefore receives the information in the form of thoughts and psychic visions, or it can come though feelings and sensations, or by hearing the voices of angles and spirit guides.

There is a map of our Life. In the physical realm it has a beginning and an ending. We often do not believe we have anything to say about either place. We have come into this world through an expression of another’s aspect of Love and we exit at some time without having any say.

Whether we choose to believe that we chose our parents or not, the physical-Self is veiled from really knowing if this is true. And, if we have decided when we are departing from this planet, it has simply been left to surprise.

Even though there have been many ideas written about the afterlife, most people will say they are not sure what is on the other side of this life. The opportunity to sneak over and play for a time and then come back is not easy. So what is known of the life, before or after, is behind a veil of mystery. We only know for sure that we are on a journey. Read the rest of this entry »

When people hear the term ancestor worship, it tends to conjure up thoughts of primitive practices, but it is actually a very powerful spiritual experience. I personally see it as communing with our ancestors and the technique I use is similar to that of the Yoruba people of West Africa.

If one looks at various tribes on the African continent, as well as other continents, ancestor worship is a common practice among indigenous people.

Although I cannot say I have any special reverence for my ancestors, the closest word would be respect for all the trials and tribulations they experienced. Going back through my bloodline I know that there have been prisoner-of-war experiences, material hardship and even suicides, to mention but a few, so my predecessors also had their unique life stories.
