Courage

In February, I will be speaking at the UU church and the theme for the month is Courage.  So I thought I would ask you my blogreaders for your personal thoughts and/or experiences with Courage.  Here are a few questions to generate discussion:
  • What constitutes "courage" for you?
  • How do you personally define courage?
  • Are there different kinds of courage?
  • Describe an experience where you have exhibited courage.
  • In what way(s) have you been inspired by another person's courage?
  • How do courageous moments shape us spiritually?
  • How do courageous moments shape us as a society?
I realize that these may be intensely personal questions, but I am seeking intensely personal answers.  Please share your thoughts.  I look forward to the discussion that emerges.

Update:  I have further defined my title and subject material for this lecture - "Spiritual Courage: Living in Heaven's Net".  I shall focus on spiritual courage, grace, and the meaning of the words "living in heaven's net".

Courage is the point, experience, or happening where one has to use their own motivation to accomplish something that is beyond their comfort. Just outside or way outside how they would typically handle a situation. In the end the trust or belief in self or cause has motivated an uncomfortable stand but forces growth, or death, or the girl .

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,...
