When Pets Cross Over into Heaven

by Leave a Comment

Shadow_2012

Animals, especially our pets, have a special place in many of our hearts. The unconditional love they share with us is a model for how we can love one another. Anyone who has fallen in love with their pet knows they give so much love and gratitude for our companionship and care. When it comes time for them to cross over into Heaven, it is a loss that is felt deeply by all in the household, including other pets.

Surrounded by Loving Beings

When the time comes for our beloved animal companions to cross over to the Other Side, it can be a very emotional and heartbreaking time. It is comforting to know that our pets, just like human beings, are surrounded by spirit guides, loved ones in spirit, and the angels during their transition to Heaven. When my cat, Shadow, passed, I asked the angels to show me his journey in order to share with you what happens when our pets cross over into Heaven.

Divine Guides Help with Their Transition

When Shadow passed, his spirit guides were there to show him the way to Heaven. As with people, the guides are unique to the animal. Each being is born with a spirit guide who remains with them for their time on Earth, and animals are no different. When pets cross over, their personal spirit guide is there, as well as deceased loved ones who knew them or you (people and animals), as well as the angels. The guides are there to inform them that it is time to cross over into Heaven. The pull of love is strong on Earth, especially when deep bonds were formed with their companion family. The guides gently let them know it is time to move on to Heaven, and that they will never truly be separated from their earthly companions because the love they share will keep them connected. They let them know that, once they have crossed, they can visit in spirit with their loved ones on Earth to give them comfort and signs that they are around. Like people, pets can be afraid of being separated from loved ones and the life they knew; however, the spirit guides, loved ones in spirit, and angels bring peace to their hearts and minds, easing their transition.

Time for Orientation

In the same way that people have an orientation to Heaven, animals are also given an introduction and an educational session about Heaven. They learn about their new home, as well as what they can do while they are there, including how they can communicate and help their loved ones on Earth. They are reunited with loved ones who have crossed over before them, including animal parents and siblings, as well as people who knew them and loved them. The angels, guides, and deceased loved ones often volunteer to watch over them as they await the arrival of their companion family on Earth.

Grief Transformed Through Understanding

As with those of us on Earth, our beloved pets do experience some sorrow during their transition to Heaven. It is natural to feel a sense of loss for the life and companions they knew on Earth; however, the grief does not last like it does on Earth because the abundant peace and love of Heaven embraces them. In addition, they are given the gift of knowledge and enlightenment that allows them to better understand the workings of the universe and their role in it. Any pain they felt in life disappears, and they are transformed into younger and healthier versions of themselves. They are free to run and play, make new friends, roll in the softest spring green grass, and curl up in the warmth of the sun with loved ones in spirit.

Visiting Loved Ones on Earth

After their initial period of transition has been completed, your pets in spirit can visit you on Earth. You may catch a glimpse of them out of the corner of your eye or see images that remind you of them, you may feel them curled up next to you on the couch or bed, and you may also hear the joyful sounds they used to make just for you. When animals communicate with me both here and from the Other Side, it is very similar to the way human loved ones in spirit communicate with me. They use all my senses to transmit their messages, and the thought impressions I receive are translated into a spoken language I understand. When they communicate with you, you may receive signs and messages through images, sounds, feelings, smells, and more. It is not a coincidence that the day after Shadow passed a video popped up on one of my social media newsfeeds of a very young kitten holding its own bottle as it was being fed kitten replacement milk. When I adopted Shadow into my heart almost fifteen years ago, he was only two weeks old. Because he was abandoned by his natural mother at such a young age, he needed to be bottle-fed kitten replacement milk. I thought it was adorable how Shadow would hold his kitten-sized bottle with his paws. On an interesting side note, all kittens and puppies are born with brilliant blue eyes, just like human babies. If an extremely young animal comes under your care, you should take it to the veterinarian as soon as possible. They have very special needs, ones that you would not even think about, that need to be immediately addressed.

Love Connection

Our beloved pets and companions leave impressions of their love on our hearts. The relationships we build and nurture on Earth with all beings creates a bond that cannot be broken, even after crossing over into Heaven. Love is the strongest energy in the universe. It is the ultimate power that links each and every one of us together. It is the spark of life that created our souls. When we find others whose spark grows and expands while we are within each other’s company, we know we have found our soulmates, our twin flames, and our spiritual family, both people and animals.

Blessings and love to you and yours!

In Memoriam of Shadow – September 3, 2000 – August 3, 2015 In memory of my sweet and loving Shadow, who will always be my hero, loving companion, and special boy. Rest in peace and enjoy your time in Heaven. Thank you for 15 glorious years of love on Earth.

Shadow People, Glimpses of a Presence, and Energy Orbs

by Leave a Comment

Have you ever seen a dark shape floating down the hall, a flash of movement out of the corner of your eye as if something or someone was there but when you look you see nothing out of the ordinary, or an orb of energy that you are not quite sure you are actually seeing in person, on videos, or in photographs? Are these frightening specters (ghosts), loved ones in spirit, an ominous presence around you, or angels? The dark shapes, flashes of movement, and orbs are all examples of paranormal experiences people have had and often misunderstand. Depending on the witness, these experiences can invoke fear of the unknown or wonder about the mysterious happenings.

Shadow People or Shapes

Many people report seeing dark shapes or shadows moving within their homes or places of business. Because the energy appears dark, people often misunderstand what these shapes are and immediately think it must be something otherworldly that is threatening. As ominous as they may seem, they are not. These shadowy shapes are often loved ones in spirit, both people and animals, who are visiting those they love on earth. They can also be harmless people or animals in spirit who used to reside in or visit the location. They do not have to be connected to people who are currently occupying the space. They visit because the space holds good memories for them or because they are curious about what is now happening within the space. Everything that exists is comprised of energy. When beings in spirit, including people and animals, move through our world, they may inadvertently manifest energy in this world. Because they are not consciously trying to appear fully manifested in the form they took in life, it is a blurry, shadowy shape that appears.

Flashes Out of the Corner of Your Eye of a Presence

There are other times when people catch sight of someone or something out of the corner of their eye, in which they believe they caught sight of a person or animal, but when they turn and look, there is no one there. Again, this is most often your loved ones in spirit checking in to see how you are doing. They are around you more often than you think, especially those that have volunteered to be your guardian angels. When you catch sight of them out of the corner of your eye, again, it is a brief manifestation of their energy. In this case, the sighting is intentional. it is not done to scare or upset you, but to give you a quick flash of their presence to let you know they are there.

Orbs of Energy

The most frequent sightings of orbs of energy occur in photographs and videos. The orbs are also loved ones in spirit or beings in spirit, such as the angels. They are amazing to see not only in photographs and videos, but also manifested in the air in front of you. To determine if it is an orb versus dust in the air or on the lens of a camera, it is best, if possible, to look at photographs or video taken back-to-back from the same position and lighting. If orbs are in every picture or video, then it may be dust, but if you have a series of photos or video and the orbs only show up in one or two images, then it is most likely an orb. Orbs of energy can also be seen with the naked eye. They come in many forms and colors. When my Aunt Eileen passed away in 2013, I saw a translucent orb of energy with moving rainbow facets in the shape of an elongated oval. The orb appeared in front of me as I stood outside of her house, then it moved around me in an arc and went through the closed screen door leading into her home. It was with a sense of wonder that I viewed the orb, as I knew it was her moving amongst the family members who had gathered at her home. On a different occasion, my sister reported seeing a turquoise blue orb in the hallway of her home. It was with wonder that she looked upon the orb, as it was something she had never seen before. At the time, she did not know what it was; however, she was not afraid. She assumed it was a being in spirit paying a visit.

When Beings in Spirit Fully Manifest Like Ghosts

On rare occasions, our loved ones in spirit, both pets and people, fully manifest in the form they had in life. This is a unique experience, as it takes a tremendous amount of energy to do and because they do not want to frighten people by appearing like a ghost in front of you. When I was 16, I saw my great-grandmother standing in the doorway of my bedroom. I did not know her well in life as she crossed over into Heaven when I was very young. When I saw her standing there fully manifested, I first questioned whether I was seeing what I was seeing. As I continued to look at her, I observed that she appeared to be slightly transparent. She did not say anything but stood looking at me with a gentle smile on her face. The incident only lasted a minute or two, but it left a lasting positive impression on me. It was an amazing experience. Many people report seeing fully manifested loved ones in spirit sitting on their bed or in their room around the time the loved one in spirit passed. Some of the loved ones in spirit can be heard saying “I love you,” or expressing that it is time for them to leave this earth, while others are a presence in the room in the way I described the visit from my deceased great-grandmother.

Giving Proof of Our Existence Beyond Life on Earth

The experiences described above are examples of how much more there is to our existence than appears to be and that we exist in spirit beyond life on earth. When and if you experience these unusual phenomena, I hope you can now look upon them in wonder instead of fear.

The Gift of Spirit Communication Is Within You

by Leave a Comment

Sun bursting through the clouds

Each of us is born with the ability to communicate through the hearts of our spirits with loved ones in spirit, spirit guides, past spiritual masters, the Angels, and God. There is an invisible communication network that connects us to all beings in existence. The ability to tap into that network is a skill that can be learned, or as I like to refer to it, a skill that can be remembered. Throughout the many lifetimes we have lived, as well as the time spent in Heaven, we have known of this ability and have used it. However, when we are born on earth, our memories of this ability can be veiled from us until the right time approaches. Having an open mind and an open heart helps us to retrieve the knowledge of spirit-to-spirit communication built into our souls. It also helps when you have an older soul, someone who has lived many lifetimes and whose gift is strong, to help guide you through the process and learn how to better manage it.

Benefits of Connecting with Heaven

There are many benefits to learning how to communicate via your spirit with loved ones who have crossed over into Heaven, as well as other divine beings. While you may receive signs they are around, it is even better to know why they are around and what they would like to express to you beyond their love. Our loved ones in spirit help us with our lives every day, and if we can open ourselves up to their messages, we can better navigate our lives and become more open to the incredible love that streams into our souls on a daily basis. Our guys and gals in Heaven know how challenging life on earth can be. Because of this and because of the great love they have for us, they do their best to support us through our earthly journeys.

Learning a New Language

Learning how to communicate via your spirit can be equated to learning a new language. This is because the way we communicate through our spirits is different from the way we communicate with one another on the earth plane. Those in spirit use all our senses to transmit messages. Seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling, and knowing are ways in which the information is received and transmitted; however, the information comes through our extrasensory senses, which go beyond our earthly senses. Symbols are also used to represent information and to communicate concepts at a faster rate across dimensions. Each person’s symbols are uniquely matched to their own experiences. It takes time and knowledge to decipher the meaning of the symbols being used. One of the most amazing aspects of mediumship is that it grows, deepens, and changes. Each day brings an opportunity to expand your knowledge and hone your skills.

Reawakening to the Gifts Within

Spirit mediums are not born knowing they are mediums or conduits to the Other Side. The veil that covers knowledge when we are born is lifted when the time is right for us to share our gifts. We are made aware of our gifts through many experiences, and in my case, I received a true calling that left absolutely no doubt as to my purpose in this lifetime. Not everyone receives this type of calling, nor is it always so strong. Each person has their own mission in life, and serving others in a professional capacity in this way may or may not be your purpose; however, you can still learn how to communicate with loved ones in spirit and other divine beings. If you feel a strong desire to learn, it is because it is necessary for the growth of your spirit to tap into beneficial guidance from Heaven.

Education is Important

Learning how spirit communicate works and how to manage the gift is very important. There are many subtle nuances used by those in spirit, including symbols to communicate the information across dimensions. There are methods that can help in the interpretation of symbols which help both the spirit medium and the recipient of the information. In addition, learning how to set boundaries, about ethical practices, and evidential mediumship, which is a method for retrieving information which can be validated by the recipient of a reading, adds more depth and understanding to this unique form of soul-to-soul communication. It truly is a life-changing experience to learn how to communicate with spirit.

Opportunities to Learn

Spirit communication cannot be taught using only a book or videos. This is because it is vital to receive active feedback from a teacher to help you learn about the process. When choosing a teacher, listen to your intuition and select the teacher you resonate with and who you are drawn towards. Depending upon your life purpose, you can use your gifts and learned knowledge to help yourself and others on a personal or professional level, depending upon your life purpose or calling in life. I hope you enjoy your connection with those in spirit and that you take the time to learn more about it to make the most of your journey in life!

Recognizing Signs from Heaven

by Leave a Comment

Message in a Bottle

Life on Earth is an accelerated course for soul evolution. We have voluntarily opted to live a lifetime on Earth to learn lessons for the development of our souls, and the negativity we encounter speeds up the process. In Heaven, negativity does not exist. Soul development does occur there; however, the lessons are based more on the giving of service, learning about the many levels of existence, and exploring the multi-faceted methods for communicating across planes. In our journey through life, we are not left to our own devices. Each of us is given extra assistance from our Heavenly Support Team, which includes God, the angels, loved ones in spirit, and spirit guides. They send us signs and messages on a daily basis that can help guide us on our life paths. The key to unlocking the knowledge that is at our disposal is to learn how to recognize and decipher the communications that are being sent from your support team in Heaven. The benefits of receiving this insider advice is almost immeasurable, as it can have far-reaching effects on the positive development of your soul.

Ascension Removes the Veil

When our loved ones ascend to Heaven, knowledge that was obscured from them while on Earth is revealed, giving them a better understanding of the reasons behind their experiences on Earth. They do not become all-knowing, but they do attain greater insight that enables them to see the events on Earth from a more informed perspective. This insight can be utilized to help you navigate your life path if you open yourself to the guidance that is shared by your Heavenly Support Team. In addition to your loved ones in Heaven, you have seasoned spirit guides and angels that have specific knowledge about your chosen life path. They have access to your Akashic Records, which contain information about your past incarnations, as well as the plans for your current incarnation on Earth. The plans contain the life lessons you have chosen to learn, as well as an outline of certain events that could potentially occur in your lifetime. These events could be major turning points in your soul’s evolution that come as a result of the choices you make about you, your relationships, your thought processes, and your purpose. In essence, you are never alone. There is always a kind and loving spirit nearby who is willing to assist you with your life path. Having an open mind, and a heightened level of awareness about the existence and presence of these spiritual beings, are the first steps you can take toward recognizing and receiving messages from your Heavenly Support Team.

Your Personal Tour Guides for Life

Each day you can receive messages from spirit that are like sign posts directing you toward the best path in your daily life, which also impacts your overall life plan. It is like having extremely knowledgeable tour guides to help you navigate the vast experiences of life on Earth. Because these tour guides are in the energy form of spirit and have advanced communication abilities, they use all our senses to get their messages across to us. The greatest challenge they have in communicating with human beings is the built-in system that purposefully creates obstacles through the illusion of fear. This system is referred to as the human ego. It is the seat of negative thoughts that tell you this cannot be possible, that you will not succeed, or that signs and messages from spirit are just a coincidence. You can teach yourself to break past the negative illusions and thoughts to experience the extraordinary connections with your Heavenly Support Team.

Breaking through the Veil

The mental block that is put in place when we are born, otherwise known as the human ego, is a veil that can be parted through conscious awareness of the existence of life beyond the human experience. The first step to managing the negativity created by the human ego is to recognize when thoughts of failure, dismissal, and self-depreciation enter our minds. Halt those thoughts in their tracks by acknowledging their presence and thinking “STOP” in your mind. Then, replace those thoughts with positive affirmations or beliefs about the topic. For example, if you catch yourself thinking the repeated references you keep seeing about your loved one in Heaven are just a coincidence, say “STOP” in your mind, and replace it with “There are no coincidences. These are signs from my loved one in Heaven.” By opening your mind to the extraordinary possibilities of the universe and trusting that loving spirits do exist on other planes, you can consciously open the communication channel that moves past the ego and delivers specific and helpful guidance for your life path.

Everyone Is Born with the Gift of Mediumship

Everyone is born with the ability to communicate via spirit. It is the way we communicate with God, the angels, our loved ones in spirit, spirit guides, and each other. Our prayers, thoughts, and requests for assistance are sent to God, the angels, and our loved ones using telepathic transmissions from one spirit to another, similar to the way in which wireless signals are sent from one computer to another. When we communicate with each other on Earth, these signals are being sent back and forth via our spirits; however, it is something that occurs in the background of conscious awareness. When you are speaking with someone, you know in your heart when a person’s words do not sound or feel right. There may be a nagging thought in the back of your mind or a slight clenching of your stomach muscles that may indicate that this person is not speaking his or her truth. This intuitive information comes from your spirit which houses a higher consciousness and understanding of spirit-to-spirit communication. Even though everyone is born with the gift of mediumship, it does not mean that everyone on Earth is destined to be a spirit medium who shares his or her gifts on a professional level. Just as certain people are born with the ability to excel in sports, others are born with the ability to excel in spirit communication. Your path is unique to you, and if mediumship is your calling, you will know it. If it is not, you can still learn how to use the gift to communicate with your Heavenly Support Team in a way that will benefit you and your loved ones.

A Map to Lead the Way

The benefits of tuning in to the positive messages which come from enlightened beings in Heaven can be equated to being given a map to help you find the most beneficial path to get to your destination, which is the evolvement of your soul through life lessons. Please know that spiritual beings will not give you all the answers or solve all your problems for you. They will sometimes only provide clues or messages to guide you along the way. It is your job as a soul seeking knowledge and learning lessons to make decisions through free will. If you were given all the answers, lessons would not be learned and there would be no point in taking the journey.

Examples of Signs

There are many ways that our Heavenly Support Team sends us messages. It is an abstract form of communication that uses all our senses and goes beyond straightforward verbal and non-verbal cues. Your mind must be open to experiencing and recognizing the extraordinary in the ordinary that surrounds you each day. Here are a few of the more common methods used to transmit messages:

  • Music – Songs you hear in your head or that play on the radio at seemingly coincidental times, are often messages from spirit. Pay attention to the lyrics that you are hearing. If you do not know all the words to the song or the title, look it up. There is a message in it for you about a current event in your life. You could also be hearing music that reminds you of a loved one who has passed away. For instance, my dad loved the band, I often hear “Don’t Stop Believing” in my head or on the radio at times when I need a positive boost. As a note, negative songs and lyrics are not sent from your Heavenly Support Team. They only send positive or helpful messages to help you navigate your life.
  • Visual Clues – When you see an object or image that reminds you of a loved one, it is them letting you know that they are around and that they are sending their love. For instance, one morning I turned on my television and there was a show on about model trains that popped up on the screen. I have no idea what channel I had left the television on the night before, but this was odd because it appeared to be a very old show from the 1960s. I immediately knew this was my dad letting me know that he was around and that he was sending me his love. His major hobby was collecting model trains. There are no coincidences in this world, and many people may have written that off as strange, but if you open your mind, you can learn how to recognize these subtle, and not-so-subtle, messages from spirit.
    • When seeking guidance, pay attention to repeated messages that you see or read. Your Heavenly Support Team will place visual items in your path to help provide answers or guidance. Again, there are no coincidences. Pay attention to repetitious messages and signs as they are trying to help you.
  • Feeling a Presence – Some people on Earth have a very strong sense of extrasensory feeling, or clairsentience. They can physically feel the presence of a loved one in spirit. I often feel the presence of my cats who are in Heaven when I lay down to go to sleep. I feel the warmth of their love in the shape of their bodies that they had on Earth. It feels like a living cat has curled up next to me, and it may be accompanied by the feeling of a slight depression in the bed where they are laying. This may sound scary to some who have not experienced it; however, for those of us who have, it is comforting to feel the warmth and affection of loved ones in spirit.
    • When guidance comes through the sense of feeling, you may experience a feeling that something is off with a situation, which may be accompanied by a clenching of your stomach. If it is an uplifting feeling of joy or great hope, you are being given approval to move forward.
  • Scent in the Air – Have you ever picked up on a scent in the air that does not seem to fit in with your surroundings, such as cookies baking in your office or cigar smoke in a non-smoking hotel? Loved ones in spirit alter the molecules in the air to pipe in certain scents that remind you of them. It could be the smell of their perfume or a mechanic’s garage. When you pick up these unusual scents in the air that seem to have no logical source, who is it that you think of? Is it your grandmother who baked great cookies for family gatherings? Is it your father who used to love working on cars and often came home smelling of grease and oil from his mechanic’s garage? The scents are usually strong and distinct, and they may be picked up on by others in your vicinity. That is because the scent is piped into the air when they send this type of message to you.
    • Guidance through the sense of smell can sometimes have unusual connotations. For example, my Heavenly Support Team uses the scent of a skunk to indicate someone is on the defensive. When this occurs, I know how to handle the situation with great care as the person I am talking to may not be able to hear what needs to be said because they are too busy feeling as though they need to defend themselves or that they do not want to be negatively perceived for their decisions.
  • Cravings Out of the Blue – Have you ever had a sudden craving for your deceased mother’s apple pie, a craving so strong that you can taste it in your mouth? This is yet another way that spirit sends messages to us. The way they send this message is like the way they send messages that utilize our sense of smell. They alter the molecules in the air to send energy associated with certain tastes to the sensors in our mouths. This type of message is usually confused with physical cravings for certain foods. It is important when you experience a very strong craving to take a moment to think about whether this is a message being sent from spirit. Do you associate what you are craving with a particular loved one in Heaven? If so, acknowledge the loved one in spirit for their presence and the sign they sent. Know that they are there to support you in your endeavors and want you to know they are there for you.

Thank Them for the Signs

When you recognize the signs sent by your Heavenly Support Team, be sure to thank them for their efforts. They are always pleased when their transmissions are successful because it means that you are open and paying attention to their loving messages and guidance. You can also ask them for clarity and for more signs to reinforce the direction they would like you to go.

Further Research              

To learn more about how spirits communicate, I recommend that you research the topics of spirit communication, also referred to as mediumship, and intuition. There are many resources out there that can help you to understand the incredible ways that spirits communicate with you. The more you learn, the more you will benefit from the extraordinary assistance that is being given to you on a daily basis from your Heavenly Support Team. Blessings to you and yours!

Glimpses into Heaven

by Leave a Comment

People often ask me what Heaven is like and what our loved ones in spirit are doing there. As a Spirit Medium, I have the unique ability to communicate with those on the Other Side and, in the process, they often provide me with glimpses of Heaven.

Our universe is much bigger and more diverse than most people on Earth can fathom. There are other worlds and dimensions which we travel to as souls for unique learning experiences. Our home base is Heaven, which is the starting point from which we were created, and it is the place we return to for rest and recuperate after our many experiences and adventures on Earth. There are other places in the universe where we can visit and experience lifetimes; however, I focus primarily on our experiences on Earth as that is something to which we can all relate and remember. Heaven is a place of healing, love, knowledge, and learning. It is a hive of activity with beings coming and going according to their soul plans and contracts, beings actively involved in the inner workings of Heaven, magnificent reunions with gala parties for the recently returned, lifetime reviews, and much more.

Arrival in Heaven

Upon arrival in Heaven, we are greeted by a welcoming angel or loved one in spirit who proceeds to help us become re-oriented to Heaven. Often, our guides are members of the delegation who help us to cross over into Heaven when our time on Earth is coming to an end. Our guide helps us to navigate our way through Heaven and to visit loved ones on Earth to see the events occurring since our passing. They also help us to send signs to our loved ones on Earth to let them know we are doing well and have made it to Heaven. Our guides are with us when we attend the memorial services and life celebrations in our honor on Earth and often stay with us, help us, and teach us until we are ready to visit our loved ones on Earth on our own. Older souls, who have experienced many reincarnations, are much faster at being able to communicate across dimensions because they have done this in the past. Younger souls, who have not had as many reincarnations, can take classes in Heaven to help them learn how to communicate via their spirits, send signs, appear in dreams, and manipulate energy on Earth to move objects, and more.

Creating Your World

Heaven truly is what we make of it. Resources are only limited by our minds and the levels we reached in our soul’s evolution. We can create homes using thought and they can be whatever we want them to be. For instance, you can have a quaint cottage by a lakeshore or a majestic castle with many rooms. Whatever you would like your personal slice of Heaven to be is what it is. Beautiful imagery of buildings and collective spaces, which are the collaborative efforts of many in spirit to create environments, have been shared with me through readings. This includes nightclubs from the 1940s where Frank Sinatra would sing and entertain, Victorian-era towns and cities, stunningly beautiful parks with elegant flowers and trees, ancient temples from Atlantis and Lemuria, modern and ancient sports complexes, and much, much more. Often, loved ones in spirit show me the homes they grew up in recreated in Heaven, as well as dream homes with glorious views of mountains, gleaming bodies of water, and rolling hills with amazingly green grass. The colors up there are gorgeous and much more intense than they are on Earth.

We also have the power to control our personal appearance in Heaven. I have frequently seen loved ones in spirit, including pets, as the younger versions of themselves enjoying their time in Heaven. We usually opt to look like we did on Earth because that is what we are used to; however, it is usually the younger versions of ourselves in our prime. It is my impression that the level of what you can do in Heaven and where you reside correlates with the level your soul has reached with its evolution. For example, a younger soul who has not had a lot of reincarnations and who committed crimes on Earth because they have not yet learned the way of love, do not have the same abilities and access to certain areas of Heaven. In addition, there are many spiritual hospitals for these souls, as well as institutions of learning to help them to better comprehend the true purpose of their existence. Older souls who have gained knowledge with each lifetime not only have greater expertise, but also greater access to more of the levels of Heaven. They are free to create what they wish and can travel to more locations in Heaven and beyond.

Activities in Heaven

In Heaven, time does not run on the same cycles as it does on Earth. I have not yet been provided with an equivalent measure, and this may be because one does not exist or that it is to remain a mystery from humankind for now. However, I do know we have plenty of time up there to explore a whole host of activities, while also watching over our loved ones on Earth. After a lifetime on Earth, we often need time to recover from the rough and tumble ride we encountered. When we cross over into Heaven, all our physical ailments automatically disappear because our souls are no longer housed in a physical body. Our minds and souls also receive healing. Those in need of deep healing have shown me in what I refer to as the Spiritual Hospital, which is much like a mental health hospital is on Earth but with angels in attendance to facilitate the healing process. There are inpatient programs and outpatient programs depending on the needs of the soul. As healing occurs, these souls are gradually integrated into existence in Heaven to fully enjoy the paradise of Heaven’s offerings. Those who have healed or are ready to fully enjoy their time in Heaven, often send me images of themselves reunited with all their loved ones in Heaven, relaxing and participating in their favorite pastimes, such as fishing, creating art, and spending time with people and pets who have crossed over before them.

Because of the love shared between souls and the connection that goes beyond death, loved ones in spirit often visit their friends and family here on Earth to see how they are doing. They are fully aware of events happening on Earth. They are allowed to help in certain ways with our lives through the sending of signs and messages; however, they cannot interfere with life lessons we need to experience or alter the soul contracts we agreed to prior to birth. Because of this, it may sometimes seem as if God, the Archangels, and loved ones in spirit are not helping us. They are helping us. It may be in ways we do not understand or anticipate because they have a higher understanding of what we need for the fulfillment of our soul contracts for this lifetime. Because our souls continue to exist and grow, Heaven offers opportunities to learn new skills and meet other souls, like we can on Earth. Images and information have been sent to me during readings of loved ones in spirit taking classes in music and art, as well as spirit-to-spirit communication and how to work with the energies on Earth and in Heaven. Many times, I have been shown friendships and relationships being formed, as well as family members in spirit who did not meet while on Earth getting to know one another. In Heaven, we can also volunteer for jobs. They are not like jobs on Earth. We choose what we would like to do, such as becoming a guardian angel to those we love on Earth, a muse who helps send ideas to those on Earth, a greeter at Heaven’s gates, or an assistant to the angels. Many souls enjoy being of service and Heaven offers many opportunities to bring to your spirit what you need most.

The Hall of Records

Within our magnificent home base of Heaven, there is a Hall of Records which contains information about everything that was, is, and will be for each of our souls. The files, which are referred to as the Akashic Records, contain our soul contracts for each lifetime, including the present one, as well as every detail of the lifetimes we have lived and are living, and information about future events for our souls. The future events are written in outline form and can be updated depending upon the actions we take in our current lifetimes. This is because of free will. There are events which are scheduled to occur in alignment with agreed-to soul contracts; however, the minute details may not be written yet due to constantly changing conditions here on Earth based on the decisions we make. When I am shown the Hall of Records, I see a large, white Parthenon-style building with a wide set of stairs leading up to a landing with six regal columns. Scattered throughout the image are people dressed in many different styles of clothing, as well as scholars and attendants in comfortable white- or cream-colored tunics and gowns. As a note, past life information can be accessed within the Hall of Records in an interactive manner, which allows visitors to delve into the past to retrieve information in a way that immerses them in the experiences. The Archangels, who are tasked with overseeing everything having to do with humankind and Earth, manage the Hall of Records and work with many orders of angels to help organize and facilitate events on Earth which coincide with soul plans and lessons for all on our planet. Guardian angels, some of whom are people who lived on Earth who volunteer to help their loved ones, are also given tasks and permission to send communications by the Archangels. For those who volunteer to be guardian angels to loved ones on Earth, they are given specific access to the Akashic Records for those they are watching over. They are allowed to communicate approved information through dreams, signs, and spirit-to-spirit communication – either directly or through someone who specializes in this unique system of communication, such as a spirit medium.

Epiphanies from Heaven and the Universal Mind

Heaven is an imagination hub, or conglomeration, where all ideas are created and sent through epiphanies to souls meant to bring them to fruition based on their soul contracts. The idea hatchery is often referred to as the Universal Mind. The ideas are disseminated at the appropriate time and place by God and the Archangels, as well as those who assist them. It is then the job of the Archangels to assign a muse to share the ideas with the beings destined to bring the ideas to fruition on Earth or in another world or dimension.  Specific orders of angels, as well as loved ones in spirit who have volunteered to serve as muses, are responsible for the actual transmission of the ideas to the matching soul. There is a significant amount of real-time organization which takes place to facilitate this process. Many events and circumstances need to be devised at the proper times to bring ideas to light with the proper resources for the recipient.  It is an incredible process which is also employed for the events and circumstances in our daily lives, in which we are placed in situations which encourage optimum opportunities for working through the lessons we agreed to in our soul contracts.

Why Do We Leave Heaven?

People often ask why we leave Heaven if it is so wonderful. We agree to temporarily leave Heaven to accelerate the growth of our souls. The lack of negativity in Heaven provides a certain kind of learning that is missing the great challenges that life on Earth or what other worlds may offer. We agree to a lifetime on Earth for strong and fast lessons, but then return to Heaven when our lessons have been completed. There are very important reasons why we need to be here and why we have the experiences we do. One of the most important is to discover our spiritual connection to all there is. Once we do return to Heaven, we have time to rest and enjoy activities we love while waiting for our loved ones on Earth to join us at their designated time. The love we share with one another keeps us connected across all dimensions because love is at the heart of our very existence. Once we are reunited with our closest soul groups, we decide where and when we would like our next adventure to begin.

So Much More

I hope you have enjoyed this glimpse of Heaven. There is so much more to it than we can perceive and what I can describe in this brief article. Each day, loved ones in spirit and the angels show me more and I hope to bring it to you to help you better understand not only why we are in existence, but also what exists beyond life on Earth.

What is Psychic Amnesia and What You Can Do to Avoid It During a Spirit Medium Reading

by Leave a Comment

A spirit medium reading is a three-way system of communication in which a being in spirit communicates with a spirit medium. The spirit medium receives and then transmits the information to the recipient of the reading. The recipient then identifies and claims the loved one in spirit who is coming through and opens themselves up to the messages being shared. It is a cooperative effort which requires active participation from the being in spirit, the spirit medium, and the recipient of the reading. At times, the recipient of the reading may not readily recall the person or animal coming through, or they may not immediately recognize the memories or messages being shared. This phenomenon is often referred to as psychic amnesia. There are many reasons why this can happen, even when everyone involved is doing their best to ensure clear and concise communications.

Reasons Psychic Amnesia Occurs

  • Only wanting to hear from one person
    • This blocks out openness to others who may be trying to come through to help you with your life
  • Concentrating only on people who recently passed
  • Thinking of your own perspective of the person, not the perspective of the person coming through
  • Waiting for a code word, name, or specific message
    • No matter how much unique identifying information is brought through, some people will not believe it is one of their loved ones in spirit unless they hear a specific word, name, or message
  • In a group reading setting, some people do not want to be the center of attention
  • Denial based on fear
    • Some people do not want to revisit the pain of someone’s passing
    • People have mentioned they denied knowing the person coming through because they were fearful of the emotions that would be brought forth
    • Uncomfortable with spirit communication because they do not understand how it works
    • Do not want to hear from a particular person due to painful situations encountered in life
  • Fear of the unknown
  • Skepticism about spirit communication
    • People who have had negative experiences with people who were not authentic or genuine, or they may have heard stories from others about this, may not want to believe the information coming through
    • Strong religious beliefs or teachings which deny this type of communication exists or is a product of negative beings may be deeply ingrained in someone and they may not be receptive to the information being brought forth
  • Thinking only of blood relatives, not friends, neighbors, associates, or others
  • Being awestruck
    • This can happen at any time, but most often when someone is sitting for a reading for the first time – it is as if their thinking mind has stopped functioning and they cannot even remember details about their own lives, let alone loved ones who have passed
  • Not understanding how spirit communication works
    • Spirit communication is a complex process which involves the use of all the spirit medium’s senses – people who are not familiar with the way it works may sometimes think it is as simple as a fireside chat in which all information about a person’s life is easily shared
  • Impaired judgment due to inebriation from alcohol or drugs
  • Distraction
    • Thinking of other things and not living in the moment
    • Not paying attention to the information being shared
    • Having pets, small children, or other people in the room
  • Fatigue
    • If someone is very tired or exhausted, it may be challenging for them to recall information or to recognize it when it is coming through
  • Strong grief
    • Messages may be brought through, but the person may be so distraught that they have a hard time hearing and digesting the messages

Ways to Avoid Psychic Amnesia

  • Keep an open mind and heart
    • Enter a reading with no expectations or pre-conceived notions of how you who you would like to hear from, how they would come through, or what they would like to share with you as you never know who is going to come through for you, nor can you anticipate the message they will bring
    • Your loved ones in spirit know who you need to hear from and why – remember they view your life from an enlightened perspective
      • They often bring through information which may bring healing for your soul
    • Be open to the information coming through because your loved ones in spirit are doing their best to share information using a very intricate communication process which involves the transference of their messages and information using all the spirit medium’s senses
      • It is like pieces of a puzzle that need to be brought together to define who it is coming through and what they would like to share with you
    • Know that anyone who has passed can come through, including blood relatives, in-laws, ex-in-laws, friends, acquaintances, co-workers, relatives whom you never met but who know you from watching over you from Heaven (such as great grandparents), pets and more
  • Release your fears and trust in the bigger picture
    • Receiving communications from your loved ones in spirit is an amazing experience that originates from the most powerful energy in the universe – love
    • Be aware that fears are often an illusion which block us from achieving our dreams and living the lives we are meant to live
  • Prepare for your spirit medium reading
    • Familiarize yourself with the process
      • Do your research with reputable spirit mediums
      • I provide articles and brief videos to help people understand how spirit communication works
      • I also explain how spirits communicate with me prior to each reading I provide
    • Know that spirit communication is a very complex process which involves the full participation and cooperation of you, your loved ones in spirit, and the spirit medium
  • Record your reading and/or take notes
    • If you don’t remember right away, there is a good chance you will remember later or the information they shared will be revealed in the future
    • Sometimes information shared in a reading may be referring to a situation occurring in the future that you have no prior knowledge of
  • Be awake, alert, and sober as this is a special form of communication which requires your active participation
  • Allow time to grieve before contacting a spirit medium for a reading
    • In the first stages of grief, which includes feelings of anger and denial of the person’s passing, it is best to wait until your heart and spirit have begun to heal and accept the person’s or pet’s passing
  • Do not be too hard on yourself if you temporarily forget loved ones or memories
    • There may be a reason why you are not remembering information right away, such as those in spirit wanting you to speak with others about them after the reading

Relax and Enjoy the Experience of a Spirit Medium Reading

Most of all, it is important to make the most of your spirit medium reading by relaxing and allowing the process to naturally unfold. If you open yourself up to this incredible form of communication, the healing that comes from a spirit medium reading can change your life in amazing ways. Enjoy the communications coming through from your loved ones in spirit, as they are motivated by love, which is the greatest gift that can be transmitted from one being to another.
