The Origins of Mediumship

by Leave a Comment

Open Skies

From time to time, people ask me where my gifts of mediumship come from. My answer to that question is simple. Mediumship comes from God. All of the gifts and skills we have as people, whether it is the ability to communicate with loved ones in spirit or excelling at mathematics, come from our Creator. God gifts us with abilities to help humankind in our own special ways. Each one of us has at least one beautiful gift to share with this world, and yours is the one that brings the greatest happiness to your heart.

Fear is the Largest Hindrance to Understanding

The great love that flows between all of our souls connects us, creating a beautiful network with God at the hub. We are all born with the ability to communicate via our spirits; however, some are more aware of this ability and are more skilled at it than others. The concept that this ability comes from anyone other than God is born from religious precepts based on fear. These misconceptions, as well as many others, demonstrate the fears of the times in which they were composed, and exhibit a lack of knowledge, as well as a lack of desire for understanding. It is truly unfortunate many religions, instead of bringing people together through love, encourage exclusivism, public shunning and, to an extreme degree, death of those with a differing mindset.

From the Heart

At the heart of the purest form of mediumship is the love of God and all of his creations. Acceptance, love, knowledge, and understanding of the universe and its workings are integral parts of mediumship. Additionally, it is our responsibility to share what we know in order to assist mankind and ease the burden of life on this plane through knowledge and understanding.

Great Responsibilities

As a spirit medium, I embrace my role as a representative of God and God’s love of us all. The job itself is not as easy as some may believe, as the responsibilities are great. Many believe we have every answer, but in truth, we are only given information on a need-to-know basis. There are times when information is obscured, because the recipient of the message needs to work through issues on his or her own or because the delivery of the information may hinder the soul’s learning process on this plane. Communications with those in spirit is an extremely complex process which comes across in an abstract form through all of the senses. It requires careful consideration of the information presented, as well as loving compassion for the recipients of the messages.

Acceptance, Love, and Blessings

For those who do not understand mediumship or who have been taught our deep connection with God is not of God, I comprehend the deep-seated fears and do not hold a grudge against the bearers. Instead, I send love and blessings their way. It is my hope and prayer we can one day love and accept one another for who we are and continue to gain a higher understanding of the divine reasons for our existence beyond our earthly realm.

 

With much love and many blessings for all,

What Will Your Legacy Be?

by Leave a Comment

GrandmomWith the recent passing of my grandmother, I began thinking about the legacies we leave behind. The way a life is lived, as well as the motivation for actions taken, is a testament of a person’s character and the impact they made on the lives of those around them. Each action and reaction to events in our lives determines the paths we take regarding the lessons life throws our way. We have countless opportunities to learn and grow as souls, and what we do with them is entirely up to us.

Remembrances

When my grandmother crossed over to the Other Side, it was not a sad time because she had suffered greatly in the past few years. Instead, I felt relieved she was no longer in physical or emotional pain. During her memorial service, we were asked to share our favorite stories about Grandmom. A few of the themes included appreciation for the way she remained true to herself, her love for her family, the child-like delight she had for digital games from Pong to Atari to Wii to computer games, and the thoughtful gifts she either made by hand or selected with purpose for her many children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

The Importance of Family

Although my grandmother could be stubborn and strong-willed, she always held love in her heart for those around her. In some ways, I think it was her strong-mindedness and determination that held us together as a family. Growing up, my grandmother’s family had many children and not a lot of money. Because of that, the siblings learned to rely on one another and to be resourceful. Strong bonds formed, and the importance of family and friendships was instilled in each and every one of them.

I consider myself very lucky to have grown up in a family that loves one another through all of life’s ups and downs. We have had our fair share of disagreements and arguments; however, they do not last because the love we share is stronger than any circumstance we have faced. No matter what has happened, we have always been there for one another.

Legacy of Love

Through my reflections about my grandmother, I was able to truly see the legacy of love she shared with us and everyone around her. When we gathered as a family for large annual picnics at my great aunt’s home, she had a way of making everyone feel welcome, including friends, friends of friends, and significant others of those in attendance. Warm acceptance and inclusion was offered to all with an open heart and mind.

Teachings

Over the years, my grandmother also taught us the value of making positive contributions to this world through handmade gifts and to give our best efforts in all of our endeavors. At the age of 16, my grandmother had to leave school to go to work. The money she made went toward helping the family. Although she loved school, she made the sacrifice. At the same time, she vowed she would complete her schooling. Decades later, she earned her diploma on her own, fulfilling her promise to herself with flying colors.

Sharing Traditions

The handmade gifts she made also demonstrated her desire to give her best from the heart. She always kept her recipients in mind as she knitted and sewed personalized Christmas stockings, cross-stitched advent calendars, and constructed wooden mangers for each of her children and grandchildren – and there are a lot of us! The mangers have a special story. My grandmother, who is my mother’s mother, asked my father’s father if she could have a copy of the pattern and instructions for the beautiful wooden mangers he built for the Hluchan clan. At the time of her asking, my parents were in the process of ending their marriage. Instead of harboring grudges, as some do in cases of divorce, my grandfather shared it with her. His actions touched my heart. Within a year, my grandfather crossed over to the Other Side, making the transfer of heritage more important than anyone realized. Without my grandmother’s intervention, the patterns and instructions for making these beautiful structures may have been lost forever. Due to the actions of my grandmother and grandfather, both sides of the family are entwined by a tradition that will live on for many generations to come.

Doing Our Best

Although my grandmother was motivated by love, she had her faults too, just like each and every one of us. Being able to recognize that we are all here to learn and make mistakes, helps me to look past the times when we are not at our best. All of our experiences, whether positive or negative, contribute to the growth of our souls while on earth, and I would like to think we are all trying to do our best to live our lives in a meaningful way.

How Will You Be Remembered?

When it comes time for you to cross over into heaven, what do you think your legacy will be? What impact have you had on this world, and how will others remember you? Today is a wonderful day to let your light shine and share your love with yourself and others. If you allow yourself to be motivated by love, you are actively fulfilling your life purpose, no matter how big or small the action. If all of us lived in this manner, not only would we each have a legacy of love, but also a better world.

Blessings and love to you!

With Light and Love,

What is Evidential Mediumship?

by 4 Comments

Mosaic from Other SideEvidential mediumship is the practice of gathering and communicating information for the recipient of a reading to validate in order to help him or her identify the loved one in spirit who is coming through. It is very important to identify the communicator prior to the sharing of personal messages. Knowing who is communicating is as important as the messages being shared, because the specific messages could only originate from a specific being in order to have meaning and provide healing for the recipient. For instance, if a recipient received a message about a loved one in spirit saying “I love you” from the Other Side, it would be nice to hear. However, if the recipient knew the message was coming from his or her mother who had a hard time saying it while living on earth, it would take on a whole new meaning and add depth to the communication, especially when accompanied with an apology by the mother for not saying it while she was alive.

Utilizing the Extrasensory Senses

Information is transmitted between the spirit medium and the communicator using the extrasensory senses. These senses, which are gifts that a spirit medium is born with but may not always be aware of, mirror the earthly senses of seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling; however, the stimulus is received internally rather than externally and it includes claircognizance, which is the extrasensory sense of clear-knowing. Therefore, when transmissions from another dimension occur, a spirit medium, or a person who is highly sensitive to and aware of his or her extrasensory senses, must place his or her focus on the internal information being transmitted soul to soul. It is, in essence, a form of telepathy in which information is transmitted through the transfer of energy.

How to Gather Information

To expedite the identification and validation process, the spirit medium asks questions of the communicator coming through, such as:

  • Are you male or female?
  • What did you look like?
  • What did you do for a living?
  • How did you die?
  • What was your personality like?
  • How old were you when you passed?
  • What is your relationship with the recipient?
  • Where did you reside?
  • What were your hobbies?
  • Did you have any siblings?

Requests  can also be made, such as:

  • Share with me a memory that will help the recipient identify you.
  • Show me where you lived.
  • Share with me what life was like for you.

Free Will Reigns

In response to each of the questions and requests, the communicator in spirit decides whether or not he or she prefers to answer, and if so, how he or she will answer. Free will is a gift that we retain throughout our existence, and attempting to control a communicator in spirit or demand specific answers may be met with resistance. Keep in mind, those who have ascended to heaven have a much broader view of life on earth, and they know better than we do the information we need to receive in order to heal our lives.

Enhancing the Senses

When a spirit medium consistently practices the evidential mediumship method, the communicators in spirit coming through often provide answers to the questions and requests before being asked. The answers come in a variety of forms depending on the skill level and heightened awareness of the spirit medium. Again, all of the extrasensory senses are used; however, some spirit mediums are more attuned to certain senses than others. For instance, clairvoyance, also known as clear-seeing, may come easier for one spirit medium, while clairaudience, also known as clear-hearing, may be the specialty of another. Spirit mediums can work on improving awareness and abilities regarding all extrasensory senses; however, it is important to note that the dominant sense may be toned down a bit in order to heighten awareness of the sense the spirit medium is working on. This may be disconcerting at first because the spirit medium may be used to receiving information a certain way. Once a spirit medium has experienced this type of transition, it is easier to recognize the fluidity of the communication process, as well as its ability to change and grow as the spirit medium is ready to explore the full scale of his or her gifts.

All Information is Important

It is important to note that recipients of a reading may or may not recognize all of the information coming through. This does not mean that the information is incorrect or random in any way. Even if you do not understand the information, it may have great importance to the recipient. Do not dismiss it. Communicators on the Other Side bring through specific information and messages for a reason. If the recipient does not immediately recall the information or if it does not readily make sense, ask him or her to write it down as its meaning will be revealed at a later date. It may be that the recipient has temporarily forgotten certain details, or it could be information for the future, or it could be that the recipient needs to speak to another person on earth to validate the information. Either way, loved ones in spirit will do what they can to help the recipient remember at a later time or will help them to remember the information that came through in the reading when the future event occurs.

Keep Growing

When practicing evidential mediumship, a spirit medium will often develop his or her own preference for the order of questions and requests asked. It is often helpful to revisit potential questions and to think of additional ones in order to delve deeper into communications from the Other Side for the benefit of the recipient, as well to increase the depth of one’s skill set as a spirit medium.

Blessings and love to you and yours!

Messages from the Other Side: The Soul Importance of Expressing and Showing Love

by Leave a Comment

I love you!Heaven is a place filled with love and knowledge. When our loved ones cross over into heaven, they experience an awakening as they review their lives and realize the impact of their actions while on earth. I cannot even begin to count the number of times people have come through in spirit asking for forgiveness for the lack of love that they showed or expressed when they were here. This type of message is not only to ease the hearts of those receiving it, but also to teach us about the vital importance of expressing and showing our love to one another while we are living on earth.

Generators of Positive Energy

Everything we are and everything we do is based in love. We are created from the supreme power of love by our Creator, and we are meant to continue to generate the purity of that love through the actions we take on a daily basis. As souls on a human journey, we face many challenges here on earth. It is the relationships and love we cultivate that helps us through the dark times and brings us great joy when we celebrate the light. We are truly here to help one another. All of the mundane problems of everyday life are but catalysts to encourage us to work through our problems together; to search out and find the love that is already there in the hearts of all of our spirits.

You Can Take It with You

When we cross over into heaven, we take with us our spirit and the love that connects us with the special people and animals in our lives. The expiration of our physical bodies on earth is not an ending, but a new beginning on a different plane. Within our spirits, we carry the love, knowledge, and relationships we cultivated throughout our lifetimes. Because love is our reason for being and one of the few things we take with us when we go, it makes sense that sharing and expressing our love is vital to our souls. It also explains why our guys and gals in heaven repeatedly send messages about the importance of expressing and showing our love to one another.

Overcoming Fears of Intimacy

Do you hesitate to tell someone you love them? If so, why is it so difficult to say it? Is it because you were raised in an environment in which love was not expressed? Is it because you were hurt in a relationship or relationships in which you loved and it was not returned? The fears that prevent you from sharing your heart were put in place as a challenge for you. The challenge in this type of life lesson is to overcome your fears in order to realize that love is everywhere, and the more you share, the more you receive in return. At first, it may feel awkward or uncomfortable to let your guard down and be vulnerable with someone; however, with the right person, the risk is worth the rewards. Even if someone does not feel the same way you do, at least you expressed the feelings in your heart. You can feel good about that, knowing you have done your best by communicating and sharing the love within your heart for another, whether it is a friend, family member, or significant other.

Giving Gifts from the Soul

For those on the receiving end of a loving message or gesture, it is a blessing and a gift from the soul. Even if you think someone already knows that you love them, show them and tell them anyway. Each person is a unique being, and we cannot profess to know all that is going on within another person’s mind; however, by clearly communicating your feelings, you effectively remove any question someone may have about how you feel about them. Think about how many times you may have agonized about how someone feels about you. Wouldn’t it have been great if you had received clarity directly from that person? This is the gift you can give others when you clearly communicate your feelings in a way that can be heard and accepted by others.

Clear Communication Coupled with Positive Actions

More often than not, it is communication problems that lead to the demise of a relationship. Instead of withholding your feelings out of fear, express them in healthy ways. Tell the people you care about that you love them, and show them your love through your actions. For instance, do something for them that brings a smile to their face, such as making a handmade gift, completing a task or responsibility that will give them free time to relax, or scheduling time for a special experience that will create happy memories. Each one of us wants to be loved, accepted, and appreciated for who we are, and if you are not giving or receiving that in your relationships, it is time for a heart-to-heart conversation about each person’s needs, as well as potential solutions for improving the relationship. If, after the talk, the individuals involved do not follow through or make an effort to improve the situation within a reasonable amount of time, it may be that he or she is not truly vested in the relationship. At that point, you may need to make a decision about whether or not the relationship is worth pursuing.

Remember to Love Who You Are

As you are sharing your love with others, be sure to be kind and loving toward yourself. Schedule time to participate in activities you enjoy, including hobbies, exercise, reading, sports, meditation, and more. Be as kind to yourself as you would be to another. Love is what we are here for, love is what we are, and love is the only thing we take with us when it is time for us to return to heaven.
