Now Is The Time To Celebrate Life!
The time has come to recognize how far we have come and celebrate the sheer joy and privilege to be alive. Although Covid-19 is still around, and I personally know several people who are just now recovering from the illness, we are in a much better position now than a year or two ago. We have a lot to be grateful for as we start to work our way towards the future.
So, let’s celebrate! While still taking appropriate precautions, it is wonderful to be able to go out again, eat in restaurants and shop inside stores. A feeling of lightness is everywhere these days, with people really appreciating the ability to get back to some semblance of normal.
I see people smiling and laughing again while they are out and about, doing their daily errands, meeting friends, and attending functions and events. It seems even strangers are friendlier and more open to positive conversation and a more optimistic outlook nowadays. What a welcome change!
It is particularly satisfying to focus on and reconnect in person with the people who are important in our lives and make us feel happy. This year Mother’s Day was especially meaningful for many of us. It is always a beautiful opportunity to showcase the love for our mothers, both those who are still with us in this life, as well as those in spirit.
However, spirit impresses on me that honoring our mothers should happen more consistently than just one day per year. Each May, many of us resolve to show our love and respect all year through. So, how are we doing so far? Are we still honoring our mothers long after her special day is over?
A quick call, some surprise flowers, a little gift for ‘no reason’ are all lovely gestures that don’t take a lot of time or money, but can mean the world to mom, or stepmom, grandma or other maternal role-models who have touched our lives.
Choose To Contribute, Even In Difficult Circumstances
Over the recent Easter holidays, spirit has once again been making me aware of the dire need for gratitude and generosity in our world. Spirit asks us to reflect on those less fortunate who live in war-torn countries where they must survive daily atrocities.
Also, we must think of families closer to home who, due to illness or work issues, don’t have enough to live in appropriate housing, or even know where their next meal is coming from. It is our spiritual duty to volunteer or donate to charities to help those currently living in adverse circumstances.
It is also important to give thanks for what we have, even if we are currently hoping for so much more in the future. Irrespective of our current circumstances, we can still radiate kindness and generosity. We can give our time to help others or just listen to someone in need of a confidant.
Meanwhile, regardless of where we stand right now, we can continue to visualize the outcomes we are expecting, for just a few quiet minutes per day. Remember to set achievable goals and give yourself a timeline to follow.
Stay focused. Stay committed. Stay strong. Lead by example. Smile and act as if your gifts have already arrived. Be excited by the small accomplishments and the little wins as you aim higher and stronger.
We all face challenges in life, and sometimes they can seem insurmountable. Instead of giving in to fear and worry, focus on something that makes you happy or someone who lights up your life. Stay the course and maintain balance as much as possible, while you work through those challenges.
When it comes to conversations and relationships, remember that we either contribute or contaminate with every interaction. Make the effort to choose to contribute, even in difficult circumstances. Solve disagreements without resorting to posturing and name-calling.
You Are Never Alone
I receive many calls from clients who are feeling terribly isolated and lonely. And ‘lonely’ does not automatically imply being alone. Even while we may be constantly surrounded by people, one can still feel extremely alone. Having lots of people around does not guarantee meaningful connection or a sense of belonging.
I always remind my clients that if they only consider how much spirit is constantly around us, they will never feel alone again. Tuning into these soul energies around us is a great comfort and can even be a life saver.
Our departed loved ones and our spirit guides are around us all the time, but especially present when we are going through a challenging or painful time. Whether we are aware of their presence, or not, they are there.
Through meditation and other spiritual practices, we can raise our vibration and make it easier for us to feel their presence, and even ‘hear’ them. All interdimensional communication is telepathic. We just need to tune in to a higher vibration to meet them halfway.
Spirit is in a different dimension. Their energy is very fast and ours are very slow. They need to slow their vibration down and we need to raise ours in order to meet in the middle and communicate.
Many years ago, a friend’s father passed. Her dad soon after came to me in a dream. He was giving me several messages he wanted me to relay to her, but I was having a very hard time understanding what he was saying. The messages were coming in too fast. To my shock and surprise her dad then became impatient with me! In fact, he was quite annoyed.
Spirit Signs From Loved Ones
Did you know that the spirit of a deceased loved one can give you signs that they are around and looking out for you? There are many possible signs: anything from an orb of light to the smell of perfume or cigar smoke, or shadows, or a personal object being moved from one place to another. Music is another way that loved ones can communicate with you.
There is always a reason why a departed loved one tries to let us know they are around us. It can range from being a warning of future danger, to simply letting us know that they love and miss us. For many generations in my family our loved ones have let us know they are around being.
I feel my mother is still helping me with life issues. Growing up with her she would not encourage my psychic abilities. She could have helped gain a better understanding of what gifts I had, because she was also psychic.
After she passed away many years ago, I feel now that she does try to help me understand my gifts, even though it really does not make sense, because she never helped me much when I was younger. I guess since she passed on, she now looks at it in another way. When she is around she gets my attention with the smell of flowers.
My mother was a really great psychic in my eyes. She passed away on St. Patrick’s Day on March 17th, 1997. The time she passed was 12:12 exactly, and when we got home all our clocks were flashing 12:12. My mother still visits me. Every so often the clock will flash 12:12, and I know she is around.
Today, I went into the bedroom and I saw this very bright light with the shades down. Once again the clock was flashing 12:12. I have two alarm clock stacks on top of each other. The clock on top was tipped over, while the one on the bottom was flashing 12:12.
Living With Spirit
People ask me what it’s like to ‘live with spirit.’ They wonder whether I can read minds or whether spirit is constantly speaking in my ear. I think sometimes they envision a little angel on my shoulder, chattering in a non-stop staccato, as I go through the day.
The simple answer is that I am no different from anyone else. Spirit does not come forward without reason, unless I specifically set out to do a psychic reading.
Aha! So what does ‘without reason’ mean? Well, there have been times when I have been very glad of my connection to spirit.
When they want to, they can interrupt my thinking, just as if they were sitting right beside me. That can be handy when there’s a warning to be had.
One time, while driving along a 16-lane highway, I suddenly veered from the core lanes into the collectors without a lot of warning for the friend who was following behind me. She knew this driving maneuver was unlike me but she had a feeling that she knew what might have caused the quick switch.
When we got to our destination on the other side of the city, she said with a big grin, “Next time, could you ask your spirit guides to give me a bit more notice before you change lanes?”
It was only then that I realized what I had done. Without questioning the source, I had automatically followed their instructions and, as a result, we made excellent time across the city and did not get stuck behind a major accident that had just occurred further ahead.
When You Wish Upon A Star
My dad always said one should make a wish on the very first star that you see every night. Anything your heart desires will come true. When you see, or hear the word star…what emotions arise in you?
Think of how many up-lifting songs have been written about the stars. The first song many people learn on an instrument is often Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star. It reminds me of the theme song for the Walt Disney classic, Pinocchio. It is such a ‘feel-good’ song. When you wish upon a star it makes no difference who you are.
For some of us a star was the very first symbol that made us feel good about ourselves as children. In kindergarten getting a star for a job well done was a big deal! It always had such a sense of pride to show my parents at the end of a week how many gold star papers I had acquired.
A great pastime for children, especially at summer camp here in Maine, is laying on the ground looking up at the stars and hoping to see a shooting star.
Night people often say they get their batteries recharged by looking at the moon and stars. It brings them a sense of peace and hope for the future. One thing we can always count on is the sun, moon and stars will shine again.
Looking at the heavens for answers, ancient mariners used the stars to navigate where they were on the ocean. Sailors learned how to navigate by watching the movement of the stars.
According to natural navigating coach, Tristan Gooley, the North Star, known as Polaris is directly above the North Pole. “This means that whenever we point towards the spot on the horizon directly below the North Star, we must be pointing north,” he writes.
Mental Mediumship
There are two forms of psychic mediumship: physical and mental. Physical mediumship is instead the manipulation of energies and energy systems by spirits. This type of mediumship is involves physical manifestations that can be observed by others, such voices; tapping, raps and other noises; apports (materialized objects), and materialized spirit apparitions.
Mental mediumship however only utilizes the mind and is purely mental phenomenon. Forms of mental mediumship include perceptions of clairvoyance (seeing), clairsentience (sensing), claircognizance (knowing), clairaudience (hearing), clairempathy (feeling), clairolfaction (smelling), clairgustance (tasting), clairtangence (touching), inspirational speaking, automatic writing, and energy healing. These mental aspects express more of the personality of a medium than the physical aspects, as all thoughts come through the mind of the instrument.
The sending and receiving of thought vibrations by the human mind has been known to man since the dawn of time. Telepathy and psychokinesis have also been extensively studied in parapsychology. I believe the thought vibrations sent out from the human brain take on form and persist in the ether after the individual sending them has forgotten all about them.
These thought waves have the ability to interact with the thought waves of others that come within the same range of vibration. In other words, like attracts like. A person thinking thoughts of a certain nature will attract to themselves from the ether thoughts of a like nature that have been sent out by other individuals.
Each individual is a sending and also a receiving ‘station,’ all attuned to a unique frequency or rate of vibration. As a result, it is best to send out those kind of thoughts that will attract to us only similar thoughts of a constructive nature.
