What does 'Psychic' mean to you?

 PSYCHIC- "relating to or denoting faculties or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance."...that's the best definition, by far that I found online.

 PSYCHIC- "the ability to foretell the future with uncanny accuracy and inform people what lies ahead for finance, relationship and health and be 100% accurate with no mistakes whatsoever"...yep; I'm afraid that's the definition that some people have.

I have psychic abilities but I do not call myself a 'psychic' for a number of reasons.

Here's why...I don't focus just on giving a psychic reading...I give everything the Universe gives me and most importantly expectations of the second definition seems to come alive for some people.

What I tell everyone before I begin a reading is that for me...psychic abilities enable me to read the energy and vibrations on the path you're on.

It's also a reminder to us all that God gives us free will and that people, places and things on our path can change...it's the mystery of the Universe.

It is a gift from God; make no mistake about it. 

But some gifts are clothed in mystery and uncertainty; and that's the beauty of psychic abilities.

                                                                   

Is it OK to Talk to the Dead?

Whenever we lose a loved one, we mourn, grieve, cry; etc. We move on the best that we can, remembering those who have gone before us. As time passes, we talk to our loved ones, gesture towards the sky in remembrance, (as most football players do), ask them for advice when we feel stuck, tell them how much we miss them, etc.

However, when people see that I'm a medium, and that I talk to people who have passed, all of a sudden, I'm a disciple of the devil. I'm treading on dangerous ground; sacred ground that religion deems a sin.

Again, we don't spend time attempting to understand metaphysical gifts such as mediumship...we reach a conclusion based on fear. We separate ourselves from those things we fear, attach a label to the gift and the person that has that gift and immediately dismiss them as somebody or someone to be feared or worse; shunned; ignored, isolated.

This has happened in my own church which I attend.
 I sit at the back because I know there are people several rows ahead of me that have talked about me and my gifts in a negative way and choose to not engage me in conversation so I choose just to sit there and worship God; Jesus, Mary; etc.

Gifts are meant to be shared not put in a box so people can feel at ease. When used correctly in a spiritual way, mediumship is a gift from God. Period.
Peace.

The Sacred Storms of God

We all know the story of Noah and the ark and the flood but more importantly the promise from God that He would never do that again.
Bur God never promised that storms in our life would never come.
There are internal storms and external storms and they all come for specific reasons.

Take a thunderstorm for example...why is it, that we are so captivated by them?
Why is it that when there's rain or a storm, we instantly feel like taking a nap or going to sleep?
Could it be that God is telling us it's going to be ok, even in the darkest times?

Could it be that when we go to sleep during a storm, that the rain is actually the Universe's way of chanting? Chanting soothes the soul and puts us in another place.
The thunder reminds us of God's awesomeness (not to be feared but admired) and the lightning reminds us to seek shelter, just as when we go through bad times to seek the shelter in a safe place, even if it's in our heart and soul.

Next time a storm is approaching; ask the Universe...ok...what are you trying to teach me?
The answer just might surprise you.

                                                               

Time to Claim Your Baggage

In the readings that I've been honored to give to people; it is amazing that a feeling comes over me every time.
And that feeling is that my baggage that I carry with me, isn't as nearly as heavy as others.

A parent grieves over burying his or her child; questions go unanswered as people pass suddenly without warning; loved ones who grieve over a child, family member or friend who take their own life and so on.

It's time to realize that our baggage we carry is exactly that; our baggage and what we have to deal with isn't as nearly catastrophic as our neighbor's baggage; our co-workers baggage, our friends baggage and other family members baggage.

By claiming and owning our baggage, we can start to deal with it and move on with our lives to find peace and happiness...two things that Spirit stresses that we need in order to find more wisdom and knowledge and enlightenment.

This holiday season, be appreciative that the baggage you claim as your own, isn't as heavy as others.
Even if it's foggy and you have to dig through the weeds that life puts in front of you; be sure to claim your own baggage.
At the end of the day, you'll be thankful.

                                                                       

What Happens at 3 am?

So what happens at 3 am?
There are numerous explanations but there is one that definitely gives the best and most reasonable explanation and the one that Spirit has wanted me to pass on.

There is a veil between the physical world and the non-physical world. The Irish call it the Thin Veil and this veil is extremely thin around 3 am.

Perhaps it's always a good idea to say our prayers at night...give thanks for our blessings; talk to those loved ones who have passed and tell them how much we miss them and most of all say a prayer of protection.
I begin the day and end the day with a prayer of protection...I just simply give thanks for my gifts and my blessings in life and then ask to be protected by the light of God, the infinite and divine and to ensure no negative entities, energies or spirits come into the light.

This also ensures I have protection in my dreams and allows all of the downloads that the Universe wants to give to me.

Loved ones want to reach out and tell us that they are ok and it's when they have enough light or when the veil is thin, is when they reach out.

Embrace the other side for they have much to teach us in the way of the Universe.

Is it Time to Change the Way You Think?

Because of my metaphysical gifts I run across skeptics all the time; and that's ok, because I'm skeptical myself. I was just born that way as my analytical mind just naturally pushes back on things that are not of the physical world.

But to be honest, even that's an excuse that I conveniently use...I'm not as nearly analytical as I use to be, and that's because as I put on my metaphysical mind more and more, I see the results that the readings and messages I've been privileged to give take hold and have a healing effect on those who come to see me.

This would not have been possible, if I didn't open my mind to more possibilities. I had to radically change the way I think about the world, the universe, religion, spirituality, etc.

So, what's the worse that could happen if you changed the way you think? About all the topics that you have a definitive opinion on? What's the concern? What's the hold up? What's the fear?

Just for one day, consider looking at things from a completely different viewpoint and see what happens. There's a whole world of new information that is waiting for you to discover.

Is it time to create your own 'bizarre world' where you see things that go opposite of what you now to be true or what you were taught to be true?

This is how wisdom is obtained...not by the things you already know; but by discovering things that you once thought were not possible.
Do this for one day or even for a few hours...you won't regret it.

                                                                 

My Crusade for Black.

Black...the color that seems to represent darkness; evil, negativity; vampires, witches, cats, etc.
In the movies bad cowboys and villains were identified as wearing something black, especially hats.
Funny...the people who historically have worn black do not see it that way as all.

Johnny Cash wore black, not only because he liked the color; but because it rebelled against what he saw as injustices in the world, which was the poor, the homeless, the men and women who were in prison and had paid their dues but were left there anyway, etc.
At funerals. we wear black to pay respect for those loved ones we have lost and to mourn.

Priests wear black to represent the suffering in the world, especially the suffering of Jesus.

I was taught in elementary school that white was the presence of all color and back was the absence of all color...ironic, isn't it that black was the absence of all color, but for generations we were determined to call all people who were black, 'colored folks'.

And how do black people or people of color feel? I never thought much about it until I attended a conference this past September and heard from several impressive speakers who happen to be black how they grew up with this stigma attached to them. How they have heard all of their lives that white is good and black is bad.

Black...nighttime is black; but at nighttime is when we get our rest. Nighttime is when most of us talk to God. Nighttime is when we spend time with our families; a healing time for most of us. Nighttime is when we can decompress from the busy world and give thanks for all of the blessings we have been given.

It's ironic that in several of the mediumship circles I've been involved in, I've been told not to wear black because it's offensive but then the very next thing that happens is we dim the lights and are plunged into...darkness before we meditate.

I'm on a crusade for black. Join me and never be afraid of the dark again.
