External confirmation

"No one checks with an expert outside themselves before saying 'I am happy' or 'I am in love.'  We rely on our ability to know ourselves from the inside out." --- Deepak Chopra

No one?  On the contrary, I know plenty of people who take a survey before deciding for themselves. They are swayed by others' opinions and pronouncements.  Sometimes this is quite evident in my conversations with them.  A barrage of questions and concerns cause panic about every life choice imaginable, such as:
  • Should I take this job?
  • Am I happy?  Will I be happy?
  • Is _____ my soul mate?
  • Am I really in love?
  • Should I stay married?
  • Can I trust my husband/wife/sister/brother/mother/father/child/friend/coworker/lawyer/doctor?
  • Am I going to have children?
  • Should I move to Arizona or New York?
  • Should I worry about my children's life choices about education, career, finances, spouses, and children?
They are seeking advice, the green light to go ahead. Many people are looking for the "burning bush" or the "lightning from God" (otherwise known as external confirmation). Why is this? I believe this is because they don't trust themselves to make good decisions.  "Just tell me what to do!" they say.

Personal responsibility can be a bit daunting sometimes and assigning blame and accountability seems easier.  However, choosing the doorway to happiness is up to you, up to each person.

Outer knowledge is objective and inner knowledge is intuitive.  Yes, there is a tug of war between Reason and Intuition from time to time, however you must depend on your connection with GOD thru your own Soul for discernment. 

We each have FREE WILL. By going inside of ourselves and LISTENING we can gain awareness of our inner guide (that space within where God talks to).  Here is the link to Part One of my "Listening to Your Inner Guide" series of five posts that I wrote a couple of years ago.

Refresh yourself with practice and knowledge of these key concepts. Take Deepak Chopra's statement to heart. And more importantly, become a person who is consistently "happy" and "in love" with Life by knowing yourself!

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
