Practicing the Presence of God, Part 1

The following blogpost is excerpted from my Sunday lecture at the Church of the Living Spirit this morning.

Part One: Losing Sight of God

As many of you know, I am a new mother and I’m learning as much as I can about the experience. I am learning about Love and Thought and the Divine.

My little boy has started to crawl so he is not as much of a lap baby now. He sits up nicely and can play for a little while by himself. And occasionally, he looks up from playing and giggling to find me smiling up at him and other times I’m across the room.

When he doesn’t see me right away, he starts looking around frantically. Where is my Mommy? (Mommy in this scenario means: person who birthed me who I expect to carry me constantly with the strength of ten camels, feed me on cue, comfort me immediately, and love me unconditionally.)

He has temporarily lost sight of me and he knows this is not good, not okay, not natural. And he cries out and allow me to translate for you “Mommy where are you? I need you. I am part of you and you are part of me. Come back into my sight and hold my soul to yours.”

I know this is a passing phase in babyhood as he learns more about his independence and his abilities, but this new soul in my life got me thinking about how sometimes as adults we lose sight of God and sometimes we lose sight of our soul, our path.

Maybe losing sight of God is an important step in the journey to rediscovering that which was always there.

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,...
