The Season is over

The 133rd Lily Dale summer Season is over.  And there is a hush in Lily Dale.

As I walk past the Maplewood Hotel (now closed), I see the empty porch rockers where many a guest has rocked and talked about a plethora of spiritual subjects as they admired the view of beautiful Cassadaga Lake.  The restaurants are closed and I'm already experiencing withdrawal. The benches at Inspiration Stump and Forest Temple are empty except for a random person meditating among the trees.  And the bells announcing the start of workshops, lectures, and services are silent.

I see an occasional visitor still strolling the grounds.  Some are staying on in guest houses.  Some are here for the day or for a reading. 

And today (the day after Season) we gather as a community for a Labor Day picnic of fellowship and food.  We celebrate the summer and enjoy seeing all of the familiar faces that in the hurry and scurry of the Season we saw only as glimpses during our service to others.

For more than two months, we gladly shared the peace, the energy, the joy of this special place.  And now we have Lily Dale to ourselves again. I suppose it's the way one feels after having company... glad for the visit with them but now ready to have some time with your own family. Each one feeling the peace of this moment of after-Season.  Each one grateful for the fun and high energy of the Season and the restful energy of the off-Season.

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,...
