Meditation Station

I am blessed to have a wonderful husband who has a creative and inquisitive mind and who supports my blogging endeavors and other work. Occasionally he offers some very definite opinions about them.

For instance, he thinks I should have a cool and catchy name for my blog. (I suppose 'Willa White's Blog' is a bit plain-Jane, but it works for me, for now.)

My hubby has suggested many possible names --- sparking off some very interesting and humorous discussions. But yesterday, during one of his blogname brainstorming sessions, he asked, "What do you call the place you go when you meditate?"

"My reading room," I replied dryly. He said, "No, the place. Like nirvana. Like a heavenly space." He paused and then with great excitement he declared, "Meditation Station."

Now, I'm not quite ready to call my blog "Meditation Station", but I love his suggestion of what to call the place we go to in meditation. And more importantly for you blog readers, his suggestion has inspired me to write a blogpost about it.

Whether it is a physical space or an astral space, having a meditation station is important to the regular meditator.

For a physical meditation station, options may include a room, a chair, a rug, a bathtub, a hammock, or a kayak. Some people add to their physical meditation space with one or more of the following:
  • candles

  • incense

  • crystals

  • visual representions of a spiritual figure (pictures, sculptures)

  • music

  • flowers

  • meditation beads

  • books

  • personal journal
For an astral meditation station, a meditator may establish places to visit regularly for a peaceful state of mind or a heavenly space to connect with spirit guides, spirit loved ones, or higher learning. Some of my favorite astral places are:
  • floating in cosmic consciousness

  • a white sand beach next to aqua blue water

  • a bench in a lush garden of flowers

  • a tropical waterfall

  • flying in the sky

  • running with wild horses

Whether you create an elaborate zen den for yourself or keep it simple, the possibilities are infinite!

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
