Crossing Over Into Unconditional Love
Is my mom okay? Is my dad still in pain? Is my friend trying to speak to me? Is my grandmother proud or ashamed of me? Does my husband forgive me?
These are just a few of the many questions that I am asked by bereaved family members and friend, when they lose someone dear to them.
Firstly, it is important to understand that we are all spirit with a temporary physical body. And we have free will in how we choose to live our lives. Some of us choose to be kind and giving, while some are abusive and filled with anger. It is not our place to judge each other, simply to know that free will was a gift given to us before we came into this current physical body.
When I am asked these questions, the initial part of the answer is always going to be the same. The person that you lost simply left their physical body behind; their spirit never faltered.
When someone crosses over, no matter who, or how, the moment of crossing is always met with pure love. Their angel reaches out a hand and when they touch the light shows them that there is nothing to be afraid of.
They instantly know that the place where they are returning to is a place of light and harmony. It is a place of pure, unconditional love. Hate disappears, hurt or pain disappears. There is no shame, not disrespect. And there is only unconditional love for those that remain here on earth waiting for our turn to join them.
Trusting Spirit’s Guidance During Life Transitions
When life knocks you down, when things don’t go your way, when your dreams begin to feel like nightmares, don’t fall into the trap of believing it will never get better. Your life is not over.
Challenges like these are often small nudges from the universe, guiding you to face a new direction, to try something different, and to move forward. It’s a chance to release your past and forgive those who played a part in your pain.
Our angels, guides and ancestors are with us always. They feel our sorrow, and they celebrate our joy. They gently guide us toward the right path, but we don’t always hear that quiet inner whisper.
Our spirit allies will always try to intervene when something threatens us that isn’t meant to be part of our journey. Still, the choice to listen is always ours. When we ignore their guidance, we often find ourselves veering off course.
We’ve all done this. I know I have. In 2008, I was receiving clear messages to slow down and walk away from a job that was draining me emotionally and spiritually. But I resisted. I didn’t know how I would pay my bills if I left.
For months, my guides urged me to let go and move on. Eventually, I did. I quit. I had no idea how I was going to survive financially, but I knew I couldn’t stay any longer for the sake of my well-being. It took every ounce of courage I had, but I finally left.
The Manifesting Power Of Mindful Mornings
Mornings are special. The energy of the morning is different than at any other time. When the sunlight is still fresh and gentle, the world is calm and quiet, there is a magic to this time. There is a softness that invites clarity, a gentle nudge from the universe to begin again, to step into a new day with intention and grace.
The first few moments of our day help to set the tone for our experiences throughout. Becoming aware and attuned to this fresh universal energy can be as simple as creating a small morning routine.
Now, I realize not everyone loves the morning as much as I do. If this is the case for you, the idea of creating a morning routine may not sound appealing at all. Starting with small, quick steps can make all the difference here.
Your morning routine is meant to set you up for success. It is about doing things you like in the morning, that get you in the right frame of mind and heart.
Bringing a bit of mindfulness into your morning can set you up energetically to respond more effectively to your experiences throughout the day.
Below is a list of things you can do in the morning to create a personalized routine that works for you. You certainly don’t have to do all them! Just pick one or two to get started and build from there. While consistency is important, if something is not working for you, change it up and try something new. This routine should be fulfilling and meaningful to you.
The Spiritual Power Of A Good Night’s Sleep
Many people don’t realize how important sleep really is. It’s not just for your body and mind. It’s also vital for your spiritual well-being and growth.
When I do psychic readings, one of the first things I look into is my client’s aura. I can often tell right away whether they’re getting enough good sleep because their energy shows it. A bright, balanced aura usually means they’re well-rested and recharged. A dull or scattered energy field often points to sleep deprivation.
Of course, low energy can come from many things like poor diet, emotional stress, or people who unknowingly drain your energy. But in my experience, the most common and overlooked reason is simply: lack of sleep. When you don’t get enough rest, it affects every part of your life. You feel tired, irritable, and disconnected from your inner light.
Good sleep supports your intuition, sharpens your awareness, and raises your energy. It feeds not only your physical body but also your energetic systems like the aura, chakras, and etheric field. Without enough rest, your psychic senses can get foggy, your emotions may feel harder to manage, and your connection to spiritual guidance can weaken.
Over time, the effects build up. You might feel emotionally off, mentally scattered, or forgetful. You may even notice physical signs like higher blood pressure. If this goes on too long, it can lead to more serious problems like depression. You may start to feel hopeless, like everything is a struggle. Your energy dims, your joy fades, and your spiritual spark gets low.
Spirit’s Three-Step Remedy For The Scattered Mind
I love to meditate. It’s my sacred coffee break with the cosmos — the moment when I trade phone pings and to-do lists for the whispers of spirit and the soothing hum of the universe.
Before every session, I set an intention. Usually it is a question I’d like spirit to answer. I think of it as sending a “text message” to the divine and waiting, phone in hand, for the soft chime of truth.
Today’s intention led me straight to the heart of a puzzle that troubles many parents, teachers, and sensitive individuals: Why does Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) seem to be skyrocketing in society?
In classrooms, offices, and even yoga studios, more of us are struggling with scattered focus and mental fatigue. Studies now suggest that our screen-filled, high-pressure lives may be pushing hidden attention problems into a full-blown pandemic.
I felt compelled to ask, “Is there more to the story than brain chemistry and prescription medication?”
After a longer than usual session, I emerged with a couple of journal pages full of insights that felt refreshingly simple, yet profoundly wise.
The first thing I saw in my meditation was a vision of life in the pre-internet age before we had smartphones.
I saw in my mind’s eye neighbors chatting on porches, children riding their bikes in the street until dinnertime, and evenings lit by conversation instead of blue screens. The pace was slower, and people’s nervous systems were calmer.
Love, Lust, Or Infatuation? How To Tell The Difference
When you develop intense feelings for someone, it can be hard to tell if you’re experiencing lust, infatuation, or the beginning of genuine, lasting love. All three feelings can be powerful and overwhelming, but they are very different.
These energies often manifest similarly at first: your heart races, you get butterflies, you can’t eat or sleep, and you find yourself daydreaming constantly. Not to mention the dizzy excitement you feel when you see his name pop up on your phone!
However, love, lust, and infatuation are not the same from a physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual perspective.
Infatuation can hit like lightning. One day, you’re going about your life, and the next, someone catches your eye. Suddenly, you can’t stop thinking about them. It feels exciting — like something big is happening, like fate.
Infatuation is highly emotional, and if left unchecked, it can become an unhealthy obsession with someone. You idealize them and ignore their flaws. Although it can feel a lot like love, it lacks depth and stability.
It’s easy to get caught up in the rush. But that high doesn’t always last. Infatuation can fade as quickly as it began, especially when you start to see the real person behind the sparkly image.
Often, infatuation appears when we’re in a state of desperation. Maybe we’re feeling lonely or want to be loved so badly that we project all our hopes onto someone else. We might think, “This person will complete me,” or “Everything will be better once we’re together.”
Decoding The Mysteries Of Your Dreams
One thing we all have in common is our dreams. Even if we don’t remember them, we all dream every night.
Our dreams take us to strange, surreal landscapes and scenarios — unusual places and odd situations that don’t follow the rules of the waking world. That’s because dreams don’t speak in logic or reason. They communicate through symbols, metaphors, and abstractions.
For centuries, people have sought to decipher the mysteries of dreams, from the dream interpretations recorded on ancient Egyptian papyrus scrolls to the psychoanalytical theories of Carl Jung. Jung believed that dreams speak through archetypes — universal symbols woven into the fabric of our collective unconscious.
Just as no two people are exactly alike, no two dreams are alike. Certain symbols — such as water for emotion or flying for freedom-appear across cultures, but their meaning is personal, shaped by our experiences, beliefs, and emotions.
Some dreams uplift us, while others leave us puzzled or even shaken. But what do they really mean?
Psychologists see dreams as a bridge between the conscious and subconscious mind, a way to process emotions, work through inner conflicts, and make sense of life. But beyond their psychological role, dreams also have a deeper, more mystical significance — one that is often overlooked.
