Listening to Your Inner Guide, Part 5

...continued from Listening to Your Inner Guide, Part 4

Our inner guide is our connection with God and therefore our connection with all knowledge and peace.

Here are some ways to strengthen your process of inner listening:

1. Still your mind. Let go of your ideas of what you THINK you need, and CREATE a clean slate in your mind, so that you can hear your SOUL.

2. Listening becomes more difficult when we want a certain answer or confirmation. We end up closing our minds to receiving the REAL answer that is right for us. Many of our questions are just calls for confirmation of what we already believe.

3. God's will is not dependent on our ability to hear, act, or listen. Instead of making judgments about what should be happening, the only real request becomes "Show us the blessing or the lesson."

4. You might not get the answer you think you want, but it will be the right one. Be patient. The answer will come at the right time. As Spiritualists, we often say DIVINE RIGHT TIMING and DIVINE RIGHT ORDER. This concept can be tough to swallow. Especially if we don't want to hear that we have to wait.

5. The true inner voice is always known to those who desire the truth. We will recognize the truth because we are at peace. (I always pray for the people on my healing list...that they seek the highest and best and that they find it. Here's a secret: If you seek it, you will find it.)

6. We don't have to ask our inner guide for permission to do absolutely everything. That would make it more about fear than trust. Constant questioning may be just a lack of trust and avoiding personal responsibility.

7. Assume that your inner guide is always on duty and will let you know if you need to do something. Feel safe and secure in the knowledge that you are being taken care of.

8. Write down the guidance that you receive. You may start to notice patterns of fear that you are breaking through or patterns of guidance.

At first, you may see listening as a way to get answers to a problem that is troubling you, and that's okay. Next, you will listen because of all the wonderful insights this experience gives you, and because it offers a path of peace and joy. I hope that you all realize how intuitive and wonderful you all are.

Q & A: Will our session be a conversation with spirit loved ones?

Q: What happens during a mediumship reading? Will it be a conversation between me and my spirit loved ones? A: Each reading is unique, so I never know what to expect during a reading. As a medium, I open myself with the highest and best intention to receive information from your spirit loved ones. Once we establish contact with a spirit loved one and have established their identity, we can engage them in conversation and ask them questions. Many times, a reading is an opportunity to chat with your family and extended family and maybe a few of your closest friends. It can be a special time for reunion and a sharing of memories. It can be a chance to say "hello" or "I'll see you again" or "I love you". Perhaps it will be a time for making amends and apologies. Or it can be an opportunity for closure and explanation. Or it can a time to receive guidance and opinions from those you trust in Spirit. Or it can be a confirmation of your own experiences with s

Flashes of light

I am a medium , so I 'see' things. *smile* Well, every now and then, I see a small light. (And I don't mean an orb or a light flying around the room like Tinkerbell.) I am talking about a small pinprick of light that remains stationary and lasts for 2-3 seconds. It resembles a star from the night sky, albeit a very miniature one. This little 'flash of light' is a spirit. Sometimes I see a 'flash of light' (or a miniature star) around clients during readings --- either near the client's chair or in another part of the room. Also, I remember seeing them in a museum, on the trail in the woods, here at home, and at church. When I see that pinprick of light, I focus on asking the spirit to provide me with more information and to share their essence . Much like seeing spirit in side vision , it's a way that we can perceive those in spirit. These flashes of light are just another way for spirit loved ones to communicate that they are with us. In fact, some

Timeframe for spirit contact

Q: My mom just died unexpectedly last week. Is it too soon for me to try to make contact with her through you? I vaguely remember someone telling me that they're not "available" right after they pass? Is there a general timeframe? Please let me know. Thank you. A: There is no official wait time before establishing communication with a spirit loved one. I have noticed some spirits are ready to communicate immediately and other spirits take longer. Some mediums suggest a six month time period. I feel this is a good timeframe for many clients because by then they have processed some of their grief and are not in a desperate space. There is a difference between being ready and being needy. It just depends on the client and the spirit. Trust your own soul regarding this. When you are ready, you just know. What a blessing it is that you know you will connect with your mother's spirit in divine right timing and that love never dies. If you have a general question whose answ
