The Porcupine Effect (Poll Answer: Happy or Sad)

Recently, I posted a Poll Question and asked you to submit your answer and a few of you did. I also told you that I would be submitting my answer in about a week. As promised, here it is! *smile* Q: Regarding spirit contact, are spirits more likely have effective and evidential communication with happy-joyful people or sad-depressed people? (Bonus question: And why?) My answer: In my experience, spirits are more likely to have effective and evidential communication with happy-joyful people than with sad-depressed people. Based on spiritual natural law and especially on vibrational frequency , JOY is the clear winner. When we raise our vibration and experience happiness and joy we are resonating in closer frequency to those in Spirit. Typically, the aura of a sad-depressed person is closed off to energy (including love). Sometimes people are angry and this produces what I call the Porcupine Effect . Jagged spikes surround the person like a fortress. This keeps out energy and inform

Giving thanks

As we gather with family and friends today, many of us will say a prayer of thanks. For some of us, it will be the only time all year that we recognize our blessings in a big way. For some of us, it will be a continuation of thankfulness we have felt for Life, Love, Family, and more. I believe that giving thanks is healthy, not just today but EVERY day. Gratitude is a healthy expression of positive emotions. And by giving thanks each day, we are positively affirming the blessings in our lives and the blessings yet to come. This is a natural and regular way to work with Spiritual Natural Laws --- the Law of Attraction , the Law of Personal Responsibility, the Law of Abundance --- to name a few. When we give and receive, there is an energy exchange. It reminds me of the energy exchange we have with Trees. As we breath out carbon dioxide, the trees take it in and in return supply us with the oxygen we need for life. If at any point the cycle of energy exchange is interrupted, we become o

It's all fun & games

It's all fun and games until someone gets their eye poked! Well, a funny thing happened on the way to the Blog . . . Three days ago, I was telling my family that I need to schedule my annual eye checkup. Two days ago, I was inspired to write my most recent blogpost Seeing Spirit with Clairvoyance . And that night as I was responding to my son's cries at 4:00 a.m. it happened. In the near pitch darkness, I was bending down to pick my baby boy up when he put his hand up and his finger poked my eye. It was excruciatingly painful!!! And it still hurts! [I've had my eye poked before, but those were just glancing blows.] I commandeered my son's Frosty Bear ice pack that I reserve for his bumps and bruises from walking and other adventures. And I stationed myself on the couch for a good couple of hours as I joined the League of the Temporarily Blind. That was yesterday. My eye is recovering, but my point (ha ha) is that themes happen. I am noticing the pattern (eye doctor, spi

Seeing Spirit with Clairvoyance

Clairvoyance is the mediumship term used for "seeing spirit" and is typically experienced in the mind's eye and rarely with the physical eye. Clairvoyance is one of the 5 Cs. Read more about the 5 Cs in this blogpost . Sometimes when I 'see' spirit in readings, I get a quick glance at the spirit's face and/or body. I may see one or more of the following: facial hair (mustache, beard, bushy eyebrows) nose (big, small, average) hair style hair color eye color gender smile cheeks body build height mobility issues Usually, I notice the most prominent feature, but occasionally I notice a group of minor details that add up to the whole person. This helps with physical identification of the spirit loved one. When I describe what I see, clients often happily report, "that's my Mom" or "that's my son" and so on. [Sometimes I feel like a witness trying to give a description to a police officer. I admit I don't always notice everything, bu

Poll: Happy or Sad?

Let's take a poll . . . Regarding spirit contact, are spirits more likely to have effective and evidential communication with happy-joyful people or sad-depressed people? ( Bonus question: And why?) Please submit your answer in the comment section. I will respond in about one week with my own answer.

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

Lessons from a Child: Stumbling

Because of his new found mobility, it is necessary for my toddler son to wear shoes occasionally. I prefer him to be barefoot, but if shoes must happen that he at least wear soft shoes that do not inhibit his foot growth, so he mainly wears moccasins. However, due to the recent wet weather and resulting big puddles, I put thick-soled shoes on his feet. I might as well have hobbled him. It was worse than watching someone trying to walk in high heels for the first time. Because he enjoys the momentum and the journey of walking so much, he keeps trying. And today I am proud to tell you that he exhibits ever-increasing dexterity, balance, and confidence when he walks in the thick-soled shoes. He stills trips up from time to time as he toddles along, but he doesn't let his stumbles dampen his adventuring spirit. Somehow he knows that minor spills are no big deal and any major spills [complete with heartbreaking *gulp* tears and ice when necessary] are temporary as well. And while he app

Walking in autumn leaves

Walking in the autumn time is a wonderful opportunity to watch the trees don their brilliant colors of red, orange, and yellow. Like peacocks on display, the trees celebrate in fine style with dancing and chatting. Yes, I said chatting. As the leaves on the trees dry, they rustle in the wind, commenting on the glorious sky, the birds on the fly, and the passerby. In a few short weeks, the leaves fall and the splendor begins to carpet the ground. Depending on the strength of the wind at a given moment, the leaves can swirl and dance outrageously or softly float downward like exhausted dancers. As I shuffle through the ankle deep leaves, I savor the swooshing sound around my shoes. For me, the crunchy remnants of the glories of autumn create the perfect opportunity for white noise, facilitating a light meditative state. I am in the moment of Now. I feel the hum in my body as I resonate with the sounds and feel of Mother Nature. The autumn leaves whisper their secrets.

Growing our children

Right now, because I am busy growing up this child of mine, I am fascinated by the shaping of young minds/bodies/souls. I look at my one-year-old son and other children and wonder who they will be as adults. Will they be strong, loyal, compassionate, and adaptable people? Will they feel wounded by life events, especially social interactions, and stagnant in misery? Or will they feel grateful for the lessons, courageously become their own person, and give thanks for this Divine experience? Because of my young son, I have the opportunity to interact with various children's groups. And I have the opportunity to observe the budding social behavior of children ages 6 months to 4 years. It would seem that there are four main kinds of behavior exhibited: the child who sits quietly in his mother's lap, shyly taking in the world, rarely smiling, and stiffly going through the motions the child who jumps or climbs off out of his mother's arms to explore the room, interact with people,

Day of the Dead

On this day, family and friends gather to pray for and remember loved ones in Spirit. Even though this holiday is celebrated in many countries of the world (including the United States and Mexico), it is not a holiday that I am familiar with personally. I am very interested in what I have read about this holiday, especially because it revolves around one of my favorite topics: Spirit Communication. This holiday actually takes place on two days. On November 1, deceased children and infants are honored on what is called the "Day of the Innocents" (or Day of the Little Angels). And on November 2, the adults are honored on the "Day of the Dead". What I find most interesting about this holiday is that many people believe that during the Day of the Dead it is easier for the souls of the departed to visit with the living. People actually flock to cemetaries to communicate with their Spirit loved ones. [Spirit communication on a grand scale - awesome!] On this one day
