Just for fun, I thought I'd share something about working with spirits, or people on the Other Side. As a psychic medium, I have worked with my share of such energies. It's fascinating work for me and is almost always very satisfying for the client.
When I am doing a psychic medium reading (I only do a few these days, being busy with my Intuitive Life Teaching), we'll hear from one or more of the client's late loved ones about 75% to 80% of the time. The rest of the time, there are several reasons for not hearing from someone:
1) The client is too young to have lost anyone close to them or has simply not had that experience at any age.
2) The client is not interested in hearing from those on the other side. The spirits will accommodate that sometimes--but not always! Sometimes, they come on through anyway, and I convey their messages.
3) The client is already in touch with his or her late loved ones, being naturally in-tune with that, or having had such a close relationship that it continues beyond death.
4) Rarely, I'm not the right medium for that or those spirits. Sure, it can happen!
When I did group readings specifically to communicate with those on the Other Side, as John Edward does on television, there were always plenty of spirits to choose from. Some are more insistent than others, while some wait patiently and hope to have a turn.
I can't speak for John, but usually when I am through working, either by the clock or my own fatigue, the spirits will leave me alone until I give them another opportunity.
Oh, and sometimes I have a spirit come through who is really for the next person's reading! I'll share one of those stories soon!
Until next time,
I remain your friendly global mystic,

In Sickness and In Health - Why You Attract Illness and Injury, Part 2
I am back with more info for you on Health and Spirit! Last time, I talked about how we all attract illness and injury as Spirit’s last-resort effort to communicate with us. And I promised a couple of examples to illustrate how this works.
Ultimately, you will see illness or injury as a big, bright message that will guide you to be enlightened about yourself. So open your mind, and read the story about Marjorie.
My client’s mother, Marjorie, died of bladder cancer, a rare cancer whose only suspected cause is exposure to second-hand smoke. Marjorie was indeed exposed to second-hand smoke, and this is an example of the way that Spirit, working with Body, will use what is in your environment to give you a message (or several).
You may have heard that cancer is often related to old anger, bitterness, or holding a grudge. As a medical intuitive, I agree. And when I learned more about Marjorie’s experience, I discovered what her bitterness was about.
First, though, let me explain about the bladder. It resides in the area of your energy that pertains to creation, procreation/children, and primary romantic relationships. When Spirit’s message to you is about one of those things, especially creating what you came into this life to create, the illness or injury will manifest in that area.
What did this mean to Marjorie? Well, Marjorie’s only child (my client) was adopted, because Marjorie was unable to have children biologically. There’s one reason she was bitter. In addition, she was relegated to spending her life behind the counter in her husband’s store, unable to create anything that she chose to create, and never given—or finding—an opportunity to develop something of her own.
After a lifetime of not being able to create, or make—think of the symbolism of saying “make water” to mean “urinate”—she developed a symbol of her anger, the cancer, in the area of energy where her anger lay or was directed.
This was Spirit’s last-ditch effort to reach her, urging her to make changes in her life so that she could be happy.
Next time, I’ll talk about preventing such tragedies by remembering the Language of Spirit.
Until then,
I remain your friendly global mystic,

Is It True?
(I'm interrupting my series on Health and Spirit to talk about something that popped up today. It addresses another topic I'll be writing on soon, so I'm going with it.)
I like Abraham. www.abraham-hicks.com, if you're not familiar. The first time I heard them, I was pleased, because they were talking about the truths I had known all my life, but was kind of afraid to talk about. And I thought, "Great! Someone else is talking about that, now I can too!" That was one of my inspirations for going where I am now.
Today, I received this quote from Abraham in my inbox. (You can subscribe to their daily wisdom, too.) What struck me as extraordinary about this one is the explanation of how a person can be very sure of something that is not actually true. It also explains why you might come up with results of your thoughts/prayers/manifesting efforts that don't seem right.
For example, let's say that things are simply not going your way. And you are thinking, "Why is this happening? I did a vision board, I am positive, I say affirmations, and I trust The Universe to deliver, but it didn't. I must not be doing it right." And you're not! Because, according to the teachings of Abraham (and my own), if your vibration is aligned with your desire, it must be delivered correctly.
Here's the quote:
"Flawed premises that you have picked up along your physical trail can fall by the wayside, one by one, and you can return to the understanding that is at the core of that which you are. (But in order to discover or understand a false or flawed premise, you have to stand back far enough and reconnect with who-you-really-are before you can see it.) If you were to hear a false premise again and again, until you yourself began to believe and repeat it, now your own activation of the contradictory Vibration would interfere with your own sense of intelligence, and you would begin to attract evidence of your lack of intelligence, in effect proving the false premise to be true. And so, it becomes increasingly hard for you to call this a 'false' premise when the evidence seems to be telling you that it is true, for over time you come to believe it is true."
--- Abraham
The evidence might be having a job or relationship that is unsatisfying, and it's easy to say, "Well, I must not be worthy of one that is satisfying." And why would you believe that? Because you have been told that over and over again.
Some of my clients will argue that point with me, and they say that they don't have any problem with feeling worthy of good experiences. But the evidence says otherwise. If dissatisfaction is evident in your experience, there's something holding you back!
There will be more on this.
Next time, back to Health and Spirit!

In Sickness and in Health - Why You Attract Illness and Injury, Part 1
If you get sick or hurt, it's all your fault. Yep, that's right, you did it!
Sure, that sounds pretty mean and maybe your first reaction is, "No, it's not my fault!" But if you accept responsibility for attracting or creating illness (and everything else in your life), then there is good news--you have the power to change it!
Let me explain. Everything starts with Spirit. There is a chunk of Spirit within you, that is commonly called your Soul, and it is a part of a massive Energy, that is commonly called God--although for my purposes, I will call it something else. The word "God" is so super-charged with fear and guilt and emotion and judgment that I prefer to use a word that will better connote the idea of creation and forward motion. I'll use "Spirit" to indicate this massive creative force.
In addition to your Soul, you have what I call angels and guides, extra-physical energy entities that guide you on your planned journey through this life. (Yes, there's a plan--and you planned it!) And you have messengers in the form of other incarnate Souls like yourself, along with events, experiences, feelings, and thoughts--all lined up to give you messages that will guide you to live your best life, the life you came here to live.
Simple enough? I hope so, but take a moment to let that sink in.
Spirit constantly communicates with you, starting with your emotions and thoughts (think, for example, "Listen to your heart"), and working through many other things in your environment and awareness. Your body is a messenger, as well, but by the time Spirit starts to talk through your body, in the form of illness or injury, it has reached its last resort.
Now, we are all born with an understanding of the Language of Spirit. However, in a very short time, we forget it, simply because of the way that human beings have evolved culturally. For example, our parents had to be sure we could get along in the world, so they had to say "No" when we tried to touch the stove or run into the street or bite another child. And if you are a parent, like me, you do this too.
We only have as much understanding as we have had, and we have gotten away from the Language of Spirit, whose sole (or "soul") purpose is to guide us to our best life and to assist in fulfilling our life purpose.
What this means is that if we could remember how to listen to our Spirit (remember "Listen to your heart"), we would not get sick or hurt. Likewise, if we become enlightened or gain the understanding that we need, even after becoming sick or hurt, we would be healed.
Next time, I will cite a couple of examples to help illustrate all of this. Until then, see if you can handle it! I look forward to bringing you more!

The Gratitude Attitude
I'm exploring some new thoughts on gratitude.
Do you know how I work? I wake up with ideas or a song in my head, I receive messages from the Cosmos, I think of things in the shower. Lots of people do, I believe, but what makes me a little different from most is that the thoughts I receive seem to be sent to me to ponder, clarify, and share with you.
One recent thought was about gratitude. Now, I know a lot of people, probably you, like the idea of gratitude. Several years ago, Sarah Ban Breathnach (www.simpleabundance.com) appeared on the Oprah Winfrey Show, talking about gratitude and the use of gratitude journals as a tool to change the life of the writer.
Writing down several items you are grateful for each day somehow lightens the load and brightens the mood. I do not doubt this method--used it myself for a bit--nor do I condemn Sarah's views or teachings. I think she is really onto something!
However, my recent download from the Universe about gratitude went further down the rabbit hole. It went beyond the idea of saying, "Thank you", to God, the Universe, or some unnamed Higher Power.
If you consider that God or whatever Supreme Being you choose (I like the Universe, but that's just me) is not a human and does not have human characteristics--no matter how much some people like to bestow such characteristics upon IT--why would He/She/It need to be thanked? God is not your grandmother, tapping her foot by the mailbox and waiting for your thank-you note from your birthday two months ago.
Ooh, I just realized I owe my grandfather a thank-you note for my birthday two weeks ago...
Anyway, here's the deal: Gratitude is for you.
That's right, gratitude is for the gratituder. Thanks are for the thanker. Not with regard to your grandma! I'm talking about the Universe. When you give thanks, when you say, "I am grateful", when you offer a feeling of joy about receiving something...
IT IS FOR YOU.
Not the thanks. The GIVING of the thanks.
Giving thanks makes you feel worthy, or at least more worthy than if you did not. What did you mother tell you when she picked you up from the party when you were six? "Did you thank Mrs. Smith?" You didn't know why you had to, but you learned to say thank you. Mrs. Smith certainly appreciated the thanks, and thought you to be a polite child, but God is not Mrs. Smith.
Gratitude is for you.
I remember when I first discovered my abilities as a psychic medium. After some readings, I would be so overwhelmed with the enormity of this gift, I would literally sit on the couch agog, and I would say, "Thank you, thank you, thank you!" I felt so connected to my gift and to the Universe that I felt completely grateful.
Now I understand that I was giving thanks so that I could truly feel the receipt of my gift.
Enormous.
Ponder it, and let me know what you think.
Until next time,

Just Some Cool, Spooky Stuff
As a professional Mystic, I often find remarkable things in everyday events. And I usually notice the Big Messages that are intended for me. A recent one really stuck out, bold type, lights flashing, fireworks... I couldn't miss it, and it came from my late husband.
My younger daughter is graduating from high school next week. (She was only three and a half when her daddy died and doesn't remember very much about him.) Last night was her voice recital and after all the students and the teacher sang, the voice teacher had an announcement. She had brought a gift for each of her students.
She made a brief and passionate speech about how this gift was very meaningful to her, that it had changed her life, she'd read it twice already, and she wanted to share this wonderful information with her students.
The book she gave them is Dale Carnegie's brilliant manifesto, How to Win Friends and Influence People.
It was only a few weeks ago that I mentioned the Dale Carnegie course to my daughters, and told them how important it had been to their daddy. He was a proud graduate of the course and posted his diploma in every office he ever worked in.
Well, honey, I lost it. I told my daughter through copious tears, "If your daddy were alive, he would be giving you this book for your graduation!"
Considering all that I know about the workings of the Universe, I know that he was the one who made sure his daughter received the book--and I felt it was far more powerful than if I had thought to give it to her. It was a gift to me too.

Another Big Ol' Truth
A message that has been coming up a lot lately, both for my clients and for me, is that about aligning your energy and working on it the same way you work on the practical, logical, tangible things. Think of the energetic or vibrational wonder that happens to you when you work in your garden. You're physically and practically doing something, taking action, to get your garden to grow. But at the same time, you're thinking about and feeling the goodness of connection to the earth, you're putting your energy and thought into your garden.
Your life is like that. If you don't like your job, then you are only doing the logical part. If you're unhappy in a relationship and you do things to help it like going to counseling, having conversations, or setting up date nights, that is only the logical part. Work on the energy part.
Look at it this way--you were given both intellect and intuition. When you use them both, you are at your best.
