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.

Not Seeing Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit? Here Are Reasons Why

by 2 Comments

Black Butterfly

When a loved one crosses over into Heaven, they often send signs to let their loved ones on earth know they are in existence in spirit and still connected with them, as well as to share their love and let them know they are doing well in Heaven. Often, these signs can be very strong soon after their crossing. This is because they are still vested in the people they love on earth and want to bring them assurance and comfort during their time of grief. The signs must be very strong during these times because grief tends to immerse our souls in sadness, effectively blocking awareness of that which exists outside of ourselves. Because they recently crossed over, loved ones in spirit usually have an experienced guide with them to help orchestrate the occurrence of these signs.

Signs from Heaven

Immediately after a loved one in spirit crosses, it may seem as though there are no signs at all, or the signs may be very strong and clear then seem to lessen or disappear altogether. There are many reasons why it may seem as though loved ones in spirit are not sending as many signs or any signs at all. First, let us explore the ways loved ones in spirit send signs and examples of some of the stronger ones which may occur soon after they cross over into Heaven. Soon after a loved one in spirit crosses over into Heaven, they are often eager to send a sign to their loved ones on earth letting them know they have crossed over into Heaven, as well as to send their love and comfort. Often, loved ones in spirit are accompanied by a guide to help them during their time of transition and these guides assist with the sending of signs. Because people in spirit no longer have a physical body with which to send communications, they use the universal soul-to-soul form of communication, also known as spirit communication or mediumship, which is a much richer method for transmitting information. This method can utilize all the senses to provide a deep and direct connection with those they are trying to communicate with. The options are limitless when it comes to the many ways loved ones in spirit can send signs. Here are some examples of strong signs sent soon after a loved one crosses over into Heaven:

  • Seeing a loved one in spirit fully manifested in energy form, much like the appearance of a ghost, in which you see them in a slightly transparent form of themselves (Note: This takes a tremendous amount of energy and, therefore, a rare occurrence.)
  • Seeing loved ones in spirit in dreams
  • Finding coins or feathers in unusual places
  • Seeing repeated visual signs which remind you of the loved one in spirit, such as their favorite places in the world, hobbies, jobs, their name, or their relationship to the recipient, as well as butterflies, ladybugs, dragonflies, hummingbirds, doves, and more
  • Smelling a strong scent in the air which is reminiscent of the loved one who passed, such as their perfume or cologne, cigar or cigarette smoke, or the scent of their home
  • Catching a quick glimpse out of the corner of your eye of a presence in the form of the loved one in spirit or as a dark shadow (Note: Dark shadows are often misidentified as ominous entities, when they are really loved ones in spirit who are partially manifesting.)
  • Feeling as though a loved one in spirit placed a hand on one’s shoulder or affectionately touching your face – this feeling can be accompanied by a tingling sensation on the shoulder or face
  • Feeling a presence with you that is comforting
  • Hearing the voice of a loved one in spirit saying your name or words of comfort
  • Songs playing on the radio about Heaven or that remind you of a loved one in spirit
  • Electronics acting up for no explainable reason (e.g., blinking lights, electronic screens freezing up or digitizing, children’s toys or music devices playing on their own, etc.)
  • And much more

Reasons Why Signs from Loved Ones in Spirit Seem to Lessen or Not Occur

Often, people on earth expect their loved ones in spirit to manifest like a ghost in front of them and be able to hold a long conversation with them with questions and answers. This may happen; however, it is very, very rare. The energy it takes to do this is tremendous and the loved ones in spirit may not know how to do this immediately after crossing over. Instead, signs are sent to get their messages through. What happens though when it seems these signs are lessening over time or seem to disappear? Again, there are many reasons why signs may seem to lessen or not be present at all. It is not because your loved ones no longer care for you. They do and they are around you whether you are aware of their presence or not. Here are some examples as to why it may be challenging to recognize signs or why they seem to have dissipated:

  • Strong grief can temporarily block the ability to recognize signs (Note: This is because deep grief turns the attention inwards and can be all encompassing at times. Experiencing grief after loss is a natural process in which we need to give ourselves time to process our feelings and emotions, as well as time to adjust to the major transitions and changes to our lives.)
  • Not knowing how loved ones in spirit send signs or communicate with loved ones on earth
  • Expecting the same sign every time
  • Loved ones in spirit give us space to heal our hearts (Note: If they constantly made their presence known, those of us on earth would have difficulty moving forward because their presence may potentially prevent us from adapting to not having them physically with us on earth. This is a major transition for both you and your loved one. Even though your souls remain connected, adjustments need to be made and acknowledged for healing to take place.)
  • Times when loved ones in spirit are not allowed to interfere with decisions we need to make. It is during these times that it will feel as though they are not with us.
  • We are very sad or focusing too much on the mundane issues of life, which eats up focus and closes us off to recognizing signs
  • Misconstruing signs as representations of negative entities
  • Missing or dismissing signs due to lack of knowledge, fear, sadness, skepticism, or disbelief
  • Not giving yourself time to heal and adjust to the major transitions which occur when a loved one crosses over into Heaven, which can lead to a desperate search for signs when loved ones in spirit are trying to give you time and space to heal
  • They are learning how to send signs to loved ones on earth and participating in activities in Heaven which temporarily suspend the sending of signs

Be Kind to Yourself and Know Your Loved Ones in Spirit Are There for You

As with any major transition in our lives, we need time to adjust to the changes. While we are processing grief on earth and living our lives, our loved ones in spirit are also adjusting to their existence in Heaven. You and your loved ones in spirit are connected through the hearts of your spirits. There is nothing that can break the bond of the love you share. Be kind to yourself by giving yourself time to grieve, learn about how loved ones in spirit communicate and send signs, and have patience with yourself and your loved ones in spirit. They are there for you and will send signs when the time is right for you.

Why Spirit Communication Uses All the Senses

by 2 Comments

Sun shining through the clouds over mountains

When loved ones communicate from the Other Side, they use all the senses to bring through identifying information about themselves, as well as messages for their loved ones here on Earth. Recently, a client asked me why they do that rather than sharing information through straightforward conversation using words alone. If they can transmit words and phrases, why don’t they just do that instead of using all the senses to transmit messages and information?

How Spirit Communication Works

As a spirit medium, I receive and share communications from the Other Side for clients interested in connecting with their deceased loved ones, as well as for myself and those I love. It is a complex form of communication using all the senses to transmit information across dimensions from one being to another. Images of deceased loved ones are sent to my mind’s eye, also referred to as the Third Eye, to provide a description of what they looked like in life. They also send images of activities they participated in while on Earth, places they lived, jobs they worked, hobbies, and more, to help with the identification process. Words, phrases, meaningful songs, and sound effects are used to enhance and add to the information coming through. In addition, physical indicators are provided to indicate how they passed, as well as if there was anything unusual about their physical condition that would be noteworthy in order to help identify them. I receive a good feel for their personality traits, as well as memories associated with specific tastes and scents. The information needs to be pieced together like an abstract puzzle in order to identify the loved ones coming through, as well as to interpret the messages they are sending. All this information is transmitted from their spirit to mine through the invisible network which connects all of us to one another.

When my client asked why loved ones in spirit communicate in such an elaborate way instead of just stating the information in a straightforward manner, it got me to thinking. Why don’t they do that? It would certainly be easier than piecing together the bits of information to identify them and bring through messages. To me, the way they communicated using all my senses was a given. I never questioned it. I accepted it without question as their preferred method of communication. When presented with this question, I asked my Heavenly Support Team for the answers.

 Receiving Answers

The most immediate answer I received was that spirit communication is part of the great mysteries. By that, I mean the great mysteries of our existence. For example, the reasons for our existence, why we are experiencing life on Earth, and whether Heaven exists. As human beings, we are on a spiritual journey on Earth to grow as souls. We experience a myriad of challenges and victories designed to help us to discover our strengths and weaknesses, to learn to love ourselves and others, and to help us discover our connection with the divine and what exists beyond life on Earth. Faith is a significant part of our lessons. Throughout our lives we face a multitude of situations designed to build or instill faith. The gift of free will enables us to decide for ourselves what we believe or disbelieve.

Providing a Blank Canvas for Learning

When we were born, the knowledge we had of Heaven was temporarily veiled from us. This is done to provide us with the maximum amount of opportunities to grow as souls, because if we came down here knowing everything, there would be nothing to strive toward. Part of our spiritual journey includes the quest to rediscover the hidden knowledge about the existence of worlds and beings beyond our earthly existence. Because life is a journey based on free will choices about whether to believe or disbelieve in something greater than us, we are given glimpses or hints of the extraordinary through miracles, near death experiences, dreams, visions, and spirit communications and signs, including uncanny circumstances that have no earthly explanation. These experiences are designed to inspire us to think, question our beliefs, reinforce our faith, or provide answers to questions about our lives.

Leaving Room for Questions

The phenomenon of spirit communication provides proof of our existence beyond life on Earth, but it also leaves room for questions. It is the universal language of the soul which transcends ordinary verbal communication in order to provide in-depth first-person perspectives from the deceased loved one. Unique identifying information, which would not be known to the spirit medium but known to the recipient of the reading or their loved ones, is shared to provide proof of the deceased loved one’s continued existence in spirit. It could be the description of a specific episode in the life of the recipient or the recipient’s relatives in which only they were present. The very richness of the communications using all the senses provides a fully immersive perspective from the sender, which allows for seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, smelling, and knowing information about the past, present, and future. Language barriers do not exist, as any words or phrases brought through are automatically translated into a language the spirit medium best understands. This is true for deceased loved ones who spoke a different language, as well as animals who also have the ability to communicate spirit-to-spirit.

The incredible experience of communicating spirit-to-spirit goes beyond two-dimensional verbal communications to a fully immersive experience providing detailed sensory impressions of actual experiences of the deceased, as well as information and guidance about the future. The process itself is awe-inspiring and humbling, as it brings forth knowledge and proof of that which exists beyond life on Earth. In view of our purpose in life to journey onward as souls gathering knowledge and basing our spiritual beliefs upon our experiences, it makes sense that spirit communication is part of the great mysteries. It provides extraordinary insights and knowledge which inspires us to think and to determine for ourselves whether we are believers.

Signs and Messages to Loved Ones on Earth

When loved ones in spirit send signs or bring through messages directly to their loved ones on Earth, without the help of a trained spirit medium, they use all the senses as well. For example, they will place a scent in the air which reminds the receiver of the scent of a loved one in spirit, such as their specific cologne or perfume, cigarette smoke, flowers, or food baking or cooking. The scents piped into the air usually do not fit within the environment in which they are experienced. For example, one morning I smelled brownies baking in my kitchen, even though no one in the house was cooking or baking and had not for hours, and all the windows were closed, meaning the scent was not wafting in from a neighbor’s home. There were no scented candles lit or any other devices which would have piped the scent into the air. There was no earthly origin for that scent. The experience immediately brought to mind my father’s mother, who loved to bake and cook. It was her way of letting me know she was around. Because loved ones in spirit utilize all our senses to communicate, they have a vast treasure trove of methods for getting our attention in order to let us know of their existence beyond life on Earth.

These occurrences, which are not coincidences, inspire awe and wonder about the great mysteries, which is exactly what they are designed to do. Through the gift of free will, human beings have the ability to believe or disbelieve the information being provided. Instead of providing all the answers in a straightforward manner, beings in spirit employ communication methodologies which encourage the inner journey of determining personal faith and beliefs. Again, this quest to rediscover the knowledge within our souls is part of our spiritual journey as human beings and is written into our soul contracts as lessons for this lifetime.

It is an Honor

The ability to communicate spirit-to-spirit is a unique gift and an honor. It enables me to help others on Earth to better understand our universe, how spirit communication works, our soul purposes, and evidence of what exists beyond life on Earth. It does not mean I am all-knowing. Like you, I am on a spiritual journey to rediscover the hidden knowledge of the great mysteries. Being able to communicate directly with beings in spirit fulfills the calling bestowed upon me in this lifetime to be the bridge between this world and the next. It enables me to help others with their spiritual journeys, while also encouraging my own explorations into the deeper meanings behind our existence.

May your own journey include many inspiring moments of wonder and awe, as well as encouragement to explore beyond the ordinary experiences of life to reveal the extraordinary mysteries of the universe.
