Through The Eyes Of A Medium
I am blessed to work side-by-side with my husband teaching various spiritual classes. Mediumship development is a significant part of our class offerings.
My husband and I have very different teaching styles and receive information from Spirit quite differently. This allows us a combined knowledge and experience base to work from. Our unique gifts and personal approaches have been a godsend in teaching students how to receive and understand messages in order to be able to do mediumship readings.
Over the years we have found that many people start out with grand expectations of how a connection with Spirit will happen; and how easy it will be to make sense of the whole session (whether as the reader, or the receiver). Quite often, we see our students become frustrated when something magical or miraculous doesn’t happen in their readings, especially in the beginning.
The Power Of Your Empathy
If you are an awakened empath, you are probably well-aware of your ability to not just feel the emotions of others, but to also see, hear and know things associated with those emotions and feelings. Unfortunately, as empaths we do not come to this Earth with a guidebook on how to work with our amazing gifts.
Like most of us, you have probably also been fumbling along, learning through trial and error… while learning from others, who also learned through trial and error, and so on, and so on. And through all this you have most likely also been made aware of the so-called ‘shortcomings of being an empath,’ instead of the power of being an empath. And if you are lucky enough to have recognized or been taught to own your power, it probably still came attached with a reminder of the ‘shortcomings.’
The Joy Of Mediumship
People that know me call me the ‘Happy Medium,’ because I am usually very upbeat when I am bringing through their loved ones. I do feel always so happy to do readings and to share my gifts with those I read for. I love connecting with my clients loved ones on their behalf. It is always uplifting, because it confirms what I know to be true – there is an afterlife.
I got a call from one of my dear clients last week that told me that she was happy to connect with her mother, who came through in a reading after she did what I suggested she do before going to sleep. She was so happy that she told me she was going to do this every night, in order to try an connect also with other loved ones that have crossed over.
Helping my clients tap into their own unique psychic powers is also gratifying. I always let my clients know when I see that they have certain gifts, and how to tap into them and use them in their life.
How To Truly Help Others Without Ego
As a spiritual or metaphysical practitioner there is no substitute for having a spiritual mentor or teacher of your own to guide you. People typically tend to continue the same ego-driven behaviors in their lives, over and over, not catching it. They can’t catch it without practice and guidance from someone who can help them see the nuances of slipping back into ego-dominated behaviors.
In other words, a workshop or certification course, or reading some articles and books, and then practicing on your own, typically will not offer you much success in personal transformation or your field of work. As Einstein said, you cannot solve problems with the same mind, i.e. mindset, paradigm, consciousness, level of awareness, that created the problem in the first place. This is why people go to 12-step meetings, psychotherapy, support groups or work with a mentor, guru, or teacher – to get viewpoints, input, suggestions, guidance from other people who are also on a journey.
Communicating With Your Spirit Guides
Each of us has spirit guides that are with us from the moment we are born, right up until we take our final breath. Just as they are named, your spirit guides are here to help guide you through life. There are spirit guides who are with you for shorter periods of time to help assist you through certain situations, and of course, your closest spirit guides who will accompany you through your entire life.
What differentiates your guardian angels from spirit guides, is that your spirit guides, at some point in history, lived a physical incarnation on Earth and grew enough spiritually to earn the honor of title of being a spirit guide. They went through very similar issues while here in this world, compared to what you will experience in your own life. This is why they become your spirit guide, devoted specifically to you, and this is what makes the two of you the best team!
Social Survival Skills For Empaths
Being an empath can be an incredibly helpful gift to have in day-to-day life. But living with this gift also has its challenges, and overcoming these are part of the journey for every empath.
While everyone’s gifts and experiences are unique, some life lessons seem to be very common among the empath community. Feeling misunderstood, or like you don’t quite belong, is a good example. I’ve heard this from so many empaths! Finding your tribe is incredibly important and helpful as you navigate your sensitivity. Connecting with people who understand you can support your growth and greatly increase your comfort as an empath.
The Difference Between Psychics And Mediums
The work of psychics and mediums are often thought to be exactly the same, when in fact, they are not. All mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums. Think of psychics as the main label and mediums as a type of psychic. Like many professions, psychics specialize in different modalities. Mediumship is just one.
My definition of mediumship is the ability to connect with spirits who have passed. Mediums are able to pick up on messages that are coming through from people who have crossed over to the other side and are no longer attached to a physical body in this world. Mediumship is a very specific type of ability that only some psychics have.
