the Third Eye

Development of the "third eye" is strongly associated with intuitive unfoldment and clairvoyance.

The third eye is located above the physical eyes in the middle of the forehead and is also known as the brow chakra.  The third eye is often referred to as "the Eye of Knowledge". And many Hindus wear a tilaka to represent the third eye and some Hindu women wear a bindi.

With third eye clairvoyance, visions show internally in the mind's eye (like on a movie screen).  For me, this manifests occasionally as still pictures and mostly as extremely-fast moving pictures (sometimes as 3-D images - which I think is funny because it's the "3rd" eye).  Clairvoyance helps me to see spirit.

In the beginning of my intuitive and mediumship development, I would occasionally feel a tightening in my brow chakra area, akin to a sinus headache.  I eventually realized this was my 3rd eye getting used to being operated on a frequent basis.

This led me to understand the following about development of spiritual gifts:
Just like our physical muscles are trained thru physical exercise, our spiritual muscles are trained thru spiritual exercise.  With consistent training and right practice, we can rely on our physical muscles to benchpress an impressive amount of weight and we can rely on our spiritual muscles to do amazing things too!
Applying this understanding to my 3rd eye, I began to do meditations and spiritual exercises to:
  • bring my awareness to the 3rd eye area
  • practice opening and closing the brow chakra (much like stretching)
  • clear the energy of the brow chakra (energy can become congested in energetic or physical ways sometimes)
  • set right intention to utilize the 3rd eye with right practice for the purpose of clairvoyance
  • regularly practice clairvoyance to keep the area toned (regular exercise)
One of my favorites ways of preparing the 3rd eye is an East Indian method.  You lick your thumb and place the saliva on your 3rd eye.  This immediately brings your awareness to the area so that you have a physical reference and you can begin to clear the energy of the brow chakra and start stretching. 

Please be gentle with your self as you begin this process - start slow and build your endurance over months and years of practice.  Remember that right practice and right intention are essential for good and consistent development of your spiritual gifts and the 5 Cs.

Lily Dale: The Season

"The Season". *** To those of you are not familiar with Lily Dale, this phrase may seem to indicate the time of year (winter, spring, summer, fall). But for those who know and love Lily Dale, it's so much more. And I shall attempt to describe some of "The Season" to you now. Running from usually the last weekend of June until the day before Labor Day, "The Season" takes place during the summer months in a spiritual community called Lily Dale. Whether summer visitors come for a day, a week, a month, or a season, they mention that they feel "an amazing peace when I enter the gate". For many, "The Season" has been a time for spiritual pilgrimage and renewal, education and fellowship, evidence of spirit contact, and healing. During "The Season", there is plenty to do every minute of the day. The schedule is abundant with healing services, spirit message services, thought exchanges, lectures, circles, seminars, and classes. In ...

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...

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,...
