Lessons from a Child: Take the leap

My son and I were taking a child-directed walk recently.  And my little guy was using a stick to "weedwack" the grass (he loves this kind of imaginary play so much that maybe he'll have a lawn care business when he grows up, haha). 

So he's buzzing away happily like a happy worker bee - quite literally making buzzing noises with his mouth - and he slowly meandered over to a clump of trees.  And THEN he did something that made my heart pound.

He clamored up onto a little ivy-covered hill about two feet high.... and LEAPED forward into the air...grabbed a low-lying tree branch like a monkey... swung there for a few moments... and then let go in a perfect dismount!

I was stunned.

He's two.  Two going on three.

While I stood there flabbergasted, he proceeded to climb the little hill again, leap for the branch, swing, then dismount.  He did this 10 times in a row with only one fall.  He had a blast!

How freeing it is to be fearless!  To know that “I will do it; I have to do it; I have the means to do it.”

Fearlessness is an essential prerequisite for attaining enlightenment. Great are those who are always fearless. To be completely free from all fears is one step on the path of enlightenment.

My son shows this kind of fearlessness. If I had admonished him and made him afraid, he might not have taken the leap.

To cement this topic of "Taking the leap"...

The other day, I did a reading for a young lady.  Her dog and her grandmother in spirit came through and she was delighted, but then she asked, "what does my grandmother think about what I am doing?"  The grandmother indicated that:
  • the young lady is traveling to another country (she verified that she was leaving for Ecuador in a few days)
  • and that she is surprised that her granddaughter isn't worried about knowing the language (she is not worried)
  • and that the granddaughter doesn't know when she will be returning home (she is going for one year to teach abroad so she does not know her date of return)
  • and that many people are trying to talk her out of the trip, but she feels that she MUST go (she said her family and friends are attempting to strongly discourage her)
The young lady confirmed all of it.  She especially confirmed that she is TAKING THE LEAP.  She would rather go and have an amazing experience then live with regret.  She's following her Divine Hunch.

Bottomline:  Each day, I learning to respect "THE LEAP" for myself and for others, and most importantly to heed its' call.  When you feel the amazing combination of intuition, fearlessness, and faith - TAKE THE LEAP.  We each have the greatest safety net - it is sometimes called the Universe, God, and the Divine.  Be fearless.

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,...
