A Spirit Stopped By

As I told you in my last blog, I met with a medium Bernie Scott and it was quite a unique experience-- sort of an experiment you might say.  We connect once a year and I journal everything as her messages often come to light months following these sessions. A few days leading up to our appointment, I sat in several meditations asking the Universe specific questions - but adding a new twist- I requesting that my answers come through Bernie.

I am an author illustrator working on my own books. This is new for me as in the past I design for clients and I have been channeling a story that centers on endangered wildlife. I will not go into detail as it's currently in production, but basically all of my questions for this medium focused on my books.

Two months ago my sister's 62 year old husband Lee died suddenly as a result of a rare blood cancer.  So It's Your Birthday describes this experience.  Prior to his passing I packed up all of my belongings and moved in with my sister thinking I would be there to help him during his recovery, never expecting his tragic death. I was able to be there when the dust settled and the phone calls and flowers faded... my 2 week visit turned into 6. During my reading an incredible gift was given to me when Lee arrived singing a song about Pine Trees - his home is surrounded by them and his favorite golf course is named Southern Pines. He thanked me for everything I did and told me that his wife, although still grieving, is coming along strongly and he feels part of it has to do with my healing energy. He spoke of a hawk and I was reminded of his memorial service on the golf course where a lone hawk circled overhead as my daughter played Amazing Grace on her clarinet. He then proceeded to show Bernie a scene that mirrored one I have witnessed in meditations again and again, for several years now. She described it perfectly and told me Lee was taking me to this place to help me with my writing. I interrupted her to explain that it was the exact place in my meditations and that I was writing a story based on this. She thought it all seemed very odd -"where are you taking me?" she asked. He then explained that he wanted to help with the books in appreciation for what I have done for my sister. I was quite moved and thanked him. He described a location that I have researched for this endangered animal story and this reading gave me the validation that I was hoping for.

I still had one more question I was hoping to find an answer for. A few years ago I was given a mysterious message.  I was told that I would be working in video production regarding my own project. I worked as a professional video editor years ago and have moved onto publishing and none of this made any sense. I was hoping my session with Bernie would enlighten me. I had asked for some clarity regarding this during my meditations. She saw a screen with me speaking about my book and described the animal that my children's book is based on. I was speaking on camera about the reality of what I am writing about. This video blogging will be connected to my book and it will help bring awareness, I will inspire many people, then the computer screen turned into a TV screen and she laughed and said "oh my, I think you are going to get noticed big time!"

Next my parents stopped by to describe in detail a few activities they had witnessed recently and we had a good laugh. My mother showed Bernie two books open and one book shut. This was to confirm that they are keeping a close watch on my work. In truth I currently have two children's books (part one and two) and another book that is unrelated. It's wonderful to know my mom and dad are cheering me on- how fantastic is that?

So what did I learn from all of this? By using meditation to ask questions prior to my reading I was able to gain insight to valuable information that has been waiting for me. I must admit this was an experiment, but I am convinced that our guides and loved ones are always there to help us. Why not begin asking today- give this method a try and see what answers you receive. My results have left me feeling confident that I am moving in the right direction.

Psychics Are Smartphones- How's Your Data Plan?

Every so often I approach a meditation with hopes of connecting with someone other than my guides. I just set my intention during my opening protection prayer and add that I would like to connect with a family member or whomever is on my heart. By stating your purpose at the opening of the meditation you are asking the universe to assist you.
I didn't always used to do this. I thought this communication was only possible through mediumship. After all they're the telephones to the ether world, not me. I was just a person that used meditation to connect to my higher self and guides that walk with me. But, I was wrong. Since asking to meet with family in my meditations, I've had wonderful encounters with so many that it would take up too much space on this post. This communication with spirits first began when a very strong thought, more like an urging nudged me to visit a medium and so I took that step.

So what about your visitations with mediums? How often are you having readings? Is it less than a year apart? What are you searching for?

Mediums are people who live and breathe just like you sharing their ability to connect with spirits that have crossed over. Many are helpful in bringing you realization that life continues after physical death. After all - these spirits once walked this earth just like you and I. Some mediums are not well developed and sometimes misinterpret and you need to listen to your inner voice as it will alert you to this. Daily meditation will help you decipher the truth, you will know when the information feels correct.

If in fact you are still questioning that life continues after the physical death then medium-hopping may not be the best answer. However, if you have visited a medium and you have concrete 100% assuredness of life eternal, than isn't it time to take it a step further? I'm not saying you cannot enjoy those wonderful loving moments when a relative connects and you feel as if you've just been hugged, these meetings should be cherished as they are priceless. What I am referring to is this - If you want to discover the mysteries that truly lie within your grasp, why not begin there? Take it beyond "Hi dad, yes I was just out in my garden singing your favorite song- yes, the medium I am sitting with has it correct and I know you heard me, how sweet..." Take it to the next step, set your intention on making a connection that will help you on your journey. Meditate before making that appointment with a trusted medium and set your questions to the universe. If you are going to be using the connection much like a telephone, than choose your questions wisely... make the most of your minutes.

For example, maybe you have questions concerning your journey. So you sit in meditation prior to meeting with the medium and maybe you say this.

"I want to create ________ how do I begin?"
"I would like to begin doing ________ how can I best achieve this?"
"I want to relocate, but my job is here, how can I move yet keep my job?"
"I would like to meet someone that can shed some light into my problem with _______"

Now when you sit with a medium you may just get some different messages coming through. You may be given inspiration, encouragement and information to help move thoughts into action. Just try it, I am about to sit with Bernie Scott, whom I admire greatly and it has been one year since my last visit. I have set my intention - I have meditated on what I would like to know about my journey. I will update you in a future post. 

As for my loved ones, they will probably continue to pop in when I sit with a medium, and I will continue to ask them to stop by in my meditations and you can too - remember, they are always a thought away and would love to be asked in for a visit:)
