The song of the church bells

You know those days when you're rushing around trying to get from point A to point B as fast as you can?  Today was such a day for me.  I was zooming here, zooming there - it was a case of drop off this person, pick up this from the store, run back for an appointment, hurry hurry, and so on.

I was the essence of the White Rabbit in the Alice in Wonderland stories ... "I'm late, I'm late.  For a very important date."

Urgently but carefully, I made my way through a string of traffic lights - sailing through the lights that were gloriously green and stymied by the lights that were repressively red.  I was filled with impatience to complete my duties, to meet other peoples' expectations, to get to the next event.

At one of the red lights, I was paused next to a church.  It was high noon and the church bells began ringing a beautiful tune.  Traditionally, the noon bell is rung as a call to prayer and to spread good-will to everyone on Earth. 

As I sat there carried away about the music, I was struck with a Joy so intense that I forgot my urgency, my errands, my time table.  It was peaceful sitting there listening to the church bells. 

When the light turned green, I didn't want to leave.  "Please let me stay and listen," I thought. But the line of cars behind me were waiting and the other drivers were hurrying on their own missions for the day.

With great regret, I moved my car forward slowly.  I didn't have the luxury of defying the Time and the flow of traffic, but I could carry the prayer of peace in my Soul.  So I moved.

The song of the church bells faded as I progressed further.  But I was uplifted.  In my heart, I thanked them for the sweet Joy and moment of Peace they had given me, especially the reminder that all is unfolding in Divine Right Timing.  And I carried the song with me for the rest of the journey.

I love listening to church bell. The ones up at Morningside Crossing just sound so beautiful. They restore my hope in humanity, bit by bit.

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,...
