Instant Mashed Potatoes

Most mediumship students are eager to rapidly progress through their development. They are brimming with questions and enthusiasm, thirsty to soak up knowledge and experiences. I love their excitement and enjoy being part of their journey.

Occasionally, I come across students who want all their questions answered right now --- they are impatient and they don't want to wait to learn the answers for themselves at the developmentally appropriate time for them.

As a result, they are expecting a year or two of studying (or sometimes just a few workshops) to make them into a bonafide medium. I call this instant mashed potatoes thinking. Sure you can add water, stir, and you have instant mashed potatoes --- but they TASTE awful!

Like most good things in life, REAL mashed potatoes take time --- you have to wash, peel, & cut the potatoes, then boil them in water for a while, drain the water, mash them up, add butter, milk, salt & pepper for creamy texture and flavor. Then, you have some GREAT TASTING mashed potatoes. The process takes longer, but it's worth it!

I do feel that it is possible for some people to progress rapidly and well. This is where right practice and intention come into play. If you wish to be a good professional medium, it is important to cultivate good mediumship habits, have patience regarding your progress, and keep awareness of the sacred part of you strong.

So keep this in mind as you make your choices for learning and practicing mediumship.

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...

Your job during a mediumship reading

If you are the person who is receiving a mediumship reading and desiring spirit contact, you have a very important job --- CONFIRMATION. This means confirmation either by your own personal knowledge or thru the personal knowledge of another person known to the spirit. During the course of the mediumship reading, you can confirm the information that you know to be true. And some information may require validation after the reading with friends or other family members who are privy to this certain info. Here are some examples of ways in which a spirit may try to validate who they are: The spirit's personality traits or physical characteristics may be described. This is part of what I call the Essence of Spirit . Most spirits are willing to share how they passed with the medium. Sometimes the spirit will give names very clearly or just the initial. Often spirits will give important dates of reference to further validate themselves. They have been known to mention other family members,...
