MEDIUMSHIP - THE LONG ROAD

PODCAST DOWNLOAD LINK (MP3):

The idea of sharing my life as a medium comes forth as strange and slightly uncomfortable even though I have been opening up to speaking about it for the past few years. I have been investigating and lecturing on the subject of mediums with a local paranormal investigation group and doing readings for the local pagan/metaphysical community and my circle of friends and acquaintances I have known over the years. I will be speaking of it as a radio Co-Host and doors are opening in ways I never imagined and the journey getting there has not been an easy one.

I will save the details of how I got there for another time, but I will say that growing up as an extra heightened sensitive has been both scary and a blessing combined in one. When relying on myself it worked in ways that defied the natural order of things, resolving many problems in my favor. As a child I would read someone's mind, mention their thoughts out loud and at times heard it, as if the person was actually speaking it; this did not make me popular with others. I realized it was not considered normal and growing up always had the feeling as if I were on the outside looking in.

My way of seeing became a part of my life, and I came to the conclusion that all of us have some degree of intuition that we are able to tap into. The reason for this is that it helps us dwell deeper and look into ourselves when life seems uncertain and not necessarily always as an extra sensitive but enough to have a new inkling of insight then go back to everyday life. Both types have their purpose and all of it is important and a contribution to the race and culture although it's the extra sensitive that tend to get the attention once their work gets out into the world.  For this reason they are often put on pedestals and come down very quickly when their imperfections are revealed.  People tend to focus on the gift and forget that there is a human being behind it with flaws and problems and most of the time they have learned compassion and insight into the human heart. That is what makes them able to work so well with the spirit world and help humanity on both sides of the veil. I am not making excuses if someone does not act in an ethical manner or does not treat someone right. Keep in mind that spirit is not often a respecter of personality and often those people with rough beginnings or a flawed background is someone who has gained a lot of wisdom and is often your best teacher.

Allow me to share information from my wealth of experience. I am often asked what is the best way to work with your intuition and and find out what path it is opening up for you. The following advice may seem basic but it works. 

1. Trust Your Dreams. We have heard this one countless times before but dreams do come from the subconscious and that is where you are tapping in to other realms and receiving visitations from loved ones, those who have passed over and those who are still alive on this plane of existence. Keep a notebook by your bed and write them down as soon as you can, even the so called silly dreams. In review of your dreams you will be surprised at what you learn about yourself.

2. Waking Dreams.  This is where something happens in your waking life and it works in two ways.  It tends to repeat it's self in different situations until you learn what the pattern is trying to teach you and then it starts to shift, or an unusual circumstance happens and you know it was meant for you to witness it. For example you saw an old friend on the bus and he or she smiled and waved hello and then you find out that this friend made his or her passing recently and no one but you saw this person; I am only naming one example. Both situations should be interpreted as if it were a dream. You will be surprised at the answers that come up.

3. Waking Dreams (Physical).  Another form of a waking dream is to watch what comes in your hands and it appears to reflect your current circumstances. For example, after my mother passed away, I was at the library bookstore hoping to find a book to escape with. An antique book called “The Palace Beautiful" by L. T. Meade was chosen that day. It was a story about these sisters who just lost their mother. I completely identified with it and it helped me through my grief as well as discover a new author whose books I now collect and continue to find inspiring.

4. Decisions.  When making a decision you will often know it is the right one, simply because it feels right and everything seems to flow right in place. If you still wish to take the time to work with on a decision, let it go for a day, and it can make a difference and you will have a better and clear way of viewing the situation. I know this seems so amazingly easy but we often forget that when under stress.

5. Nature.  Go out into nature and just be still. Listen to the wind and ocean waves. Look at the pattern of trees, stare at clouds, and watch the petals of flowers flow with the breeze. Often you will start to hear sights and sounds coming out outside of your normal thought process. Remember all the stories and tales of those who went up to the mountain or sat under the tree and when they came back they were wiser and transformed.

And remember this:

Keep your word. 

What you say matters.

Words have the ability to change a whole future.

Love deeply. It is the reason behind all we do.

You have a whole universe inside of you waiting to be revealed. You matter.

I will talk to you all on the air.
