Trusting Spirit
The age ol’ saying “Home Sweet Home” definitely rings true for me right now!
New York, Massachusetts, and San Francisco were all fantastic, this past month. It was a lot of hard work and rewarding at the same time.
This past year, I’ve taken a leap of faith and started doing larger audience readings, where I’ve had much success in bringing through beautiful and amazing messages from crossed over loved ones.
I still consider myself “in training” when it comes to this work. And I feel that, as a medium, I will always be in training for the interpretation. The way I receive messages is constantly evolving, as I am also evolving on a human level.
One thing I enjoy speaking about before a Gallery Reading is how I receive information from those in Spirit. It is always a unique experience and very similar to playing a game of “charades” with those who have passed. The reason for this is that those in the Spirit realm have no physical body. They can’t communicate the way they were accustomed to in physical life. Think for a second, if you had no physical body, voice, etc., how would you communicate? With your thoughts, of course! As this would be your only means of getting messages through to your loved ones.
With this being said, the spirits work to communicate telepathically. The only test for the medium is to be able to trust that what is received is truly from Spirit. This is a process called “validation”, which everyone that has received a reading from me, has witnessed firsthand. I constantly strive for more and more validation when communicating with the hereafter.
In private or individual sessions, the energy is much stronger and direct from crossed over loved ones. Whereas, in a group setting, there are so many people trying to come through and communicate that it can be overwhelming in the sense of energy. Think of thousands of images, thoughts, and names entering into your head, and whichever energy is strongest is the energy that will have the best chance of coming through, in an audience or group type of session.
The biggest lesson I’ve learned with this type of work is to trust what I am getting. And when the person on the receiving end is not able to validate the information in the moment, they will always be able to, after some time has passed and if they have been open with their loved ones, in life, about the information that did come through for them. I’ve learned this lesson several times over the past two years. One in particular led to the discovery of a young girls remains, who had gone missing a year prior.
Another huge lesson I’ve learned is to work at getting the group involved in taking ownership of the information. And although I know it can be very daunting to think of raising your hand and participating in such an event, allowing yourself to be vulnerable in a crowd filled with strangers, the benefit can be life changing if we allow ourselves to go there. And, unfortunately, if an audience member cannot allow themselves to be that vulnerable; they will lose their chance for a profound and healing experience to take place.
Recently, I gave a Gallery Reading in Walnut Creek, CA to a group of about 100 people. I felt that this group, out of all the large groups I’ve read for so far, was the most fearful to participate in the healing experience. Don’t get me wrong, there were still SO many wonderful messages and healing from loved ones on the other side, especially for those who took a leap of faith and owned the information. For others, they lost their chance for an intense experience to occur.
At the beginning of the session, I kept getting tapped by a woman named Mary. Now of course, everyone has a Mary and so I kept asking for more information, and she gave me more: her age (93), the fact that she passed from lung cancer, mother figure to someone there that evening, and I kept hearing April fools in my head, which was my way to interpret there was an April 1st connection to her. After several minutes of repeating the information, still, no one took it. I was insistent and even said, “Ok… Someone here is going to understand this, and before the night is over, you will have your “aha!” moment. But it would have been too late.”
Half way through the session, I saw a hand go up in the very back of the audience, as a soft voice came over the microphone. “I am sorry, I just didn’t think of it earlier, but my grandmother’s name was Mary, she died at age 93 of lung cancer, and her birthday was April 1st.” This particular woman had come to the event hoping to hear from her departed son. Unfortunately, because she didn’t acknowledge this information when I was offering it, she lost the connection to her grandmother, whom I feel was the catalyst to bringing through her son.
This happened a few more times. After the event, I was pulled aside by an older gentleman who said he also understood everything that came through for him regarding his father, but he didn’t want to participate. And again by another woman, who completely froze in her fear of the participation.
Now, please don’t get me wrong- I was very grateful for the people that did participate, because there was so much healing and very precise messages that came through. Yet, for the others that did not participate, I really, really wish they had….to show the group how truly amazing an evening of Mediumship works when everyone involved lets their light shine. This was a big lesson for me to spend more time with the audience, making them feel totally secure and comforted, before bringing forth the messages from their beloveds on the other side.
