A taste of Lily Dale

We had a great class on Wednesday night.  The vast majority of the attendees had never been to Lily Dale before and the handful of people who had been before only came in for a reading or a walk around the Dale, so the entire group had never attended a public message service or a healing service before. 

I welcomed them to Lily Dale and to the "Lily Dale Experience".  Then, I proceeded to explain about Spiritualism, Mediumship, Spiritual Healing, and a little of Lily Dale's background, what happens during the Season and the off-Season, and what opportunities are available to them here at Lily Dale.

We then attended the Community Healing Service at the Healing Temple here in Lily Dale.  The service consists of a healing portion, a spirit message portion, and some hymns and prayers.  I served as both a healer and a medium that night. 

After the service, our class stayed behind for Q&A.  My students were very curious about various aspects of mediumship.  Some shared about their own experiences with spirit communication.  Others asked about how mediumship works, how messages are received, dream visitations from spirit loved ones, and more.

One lady I gave a message to asked me "How did you DO that?"  Prior to this evening, she had been a non-believer and now she knew that spirit communication was real.  Her father came through from spirit and gave identifiers of physical condition and personality.  He also mentioned what she is doing with her mother right now and encouraged her.  She truly needed this confirmation of his presence around her.

With another lady, I brought through her grandparents and they presented with physical characteristics, personality traits, and completely in line with her experience with them.  The grandparents also mentioned an important date right around Halloween, but not Halloween (such as 10/30 or 11/1).  She confirmed that her birthday is October 30th, the day before Halloween.  This was spirit's way of acknowledging her birthday.  Her sister was attending the class with her and was a bit envious that the grandparents didn't speak with her too, but she was delighted for her sister. *smile*

Another attendee asked me why she felt an intense heat coming from the healer's hand and saw a beautiful white light during her time on the healing bench.  I explained that this was her way of perceiving the healing energy as it came in contact with her body and spirit.  She was amazed!

Thank you to all who attended the class.  I enjoyed meeting you and some of your loved ones in Spirit.  And I am happy that I could be part of your spiritual journey!

The class was sponsored by JCC Continuing Education Department and the Chautauqua Visitors Bureau.

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

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,
