For Validation's Sake

For the sake of owning my intuition, I am going to say right here and now that there is going to be an earthquake in Chile.  The epicenter will be close to Santiago.  It's going to be between 6 and 7 on the richter scale. 

The images and information came to me during this morning's meditation.  I write it for validation and nothing more.  If I write this before it happens, it validates who I am as an intuitive.  And it is up to me to own it.

That's all I have to say for today.

Own It.  No matter what "It" is.

Love Knows No Bounds

I gave a reading to someone very far away awhile ago and learned some very valuable things about myself and the ability to communicate with the Other Side.  Love truly knows no bounds. 

Because energy is energy, all it takes is a conduit.  Regardless of where that conduit is.  I was the conduit for such an experience, and it was truly beautiful.  As it is not my story to tell, I will not share details.  What I will share is that this person knew without a doubt that I indeed had their family members "present".  Right down to some very specific details of a particular incident involving another family member. 

The biggest joy for me is to be the facilitator for opening the door to communication from Home.  As love knows no bounds, I firmly believe that my primary role for readings that require a medium is that I am present strictly to get the lines of communication going.  That is all.  Once that door opens, it makes it very easy for the sitter (person I'm reading for) to establish their own line of communication and get a dialogue going that will forever stay with them.   That is the gift.

The dialogue that ensues takes many forms.  Numbers, songs, specific animals, ear ringing in one specific ear in a very high pitch (deafens out everything else), dreams, and fragrances can be some of the many ways our loved ones try to communicate with us.  We can even ask a specific sign to be given through use of prayer.  If we do ask for signs, we must remember that time does not exist on the Other Side so a request made on a Monday in April might not show up until a Tuesday in May.  While that might seem a bit drastic, I just have to say it.  For me it was as quick as the week following my father's return Home.  Two Sunday nights post returning Home, entering our complex, my headlights came upon a young buck standing to the left between two small trees.  We never have deer here, and I knew at that moment, my dad was letting me know all was well. 

It goes without saying that "Ask and Ye Shall Receive" truly does exist.

The 4-1-1

NOTE:  This is my frame of reference, take from it what you will.

For the last little while I have been seeing "1-1's", 8-1-1, 2-1-1, etc.  I think you get the idea.  Well, the latest series has been 4-1-1 to no exception (the waking up at 4:11am hasn't been fun).  I can't count how many times in the last little while I've seen "4-1-1".  Anyways, today, if written in one particular way, would be 4/1/11.  Thus the blog and information (411) for today.  Yes, that is how easily our guides work with us.  Number trends.  (It is at this time that I direct you to go inwards when you are getting a number sequence and evaluate what it is that has been going through your mind at those times - it can often be information about that).  And of special note, the above information was not made clear until after meditation, thus the blog and information, the "4-1-1" as it were.

I was told in a reading, that my energy connects straight to the iron core of the earth.  What I gathered from this was a realization that only came about today.  So I'm going to back track just a moment to set the scene.

I began my morning with connection to self.  Before starting meditation, I said a prayer, laying my intent for meditation.  I always ask for the best possible information and that any insights be given in order to make any adjustments necessary, and ALWAYS give thanks.

One of my favorite meditations is a chakra sound meditation I found on Youtube.  Meditation serves many purposes, but for me, my primary focus is balance and protection.  Along the way as I enter a deeper meditative state as one can get in 10 minutes (note - with practice comes deeper meditative state faster), I draw energy from the root to the crown (earth to sky), imagining energy flowing from source to me to earth and back again.  Along the way I pay attention to each chakra as follows:

Red - Root (imagine the bottom of your tailbone area) - Earth
Orange - Sacral (about belly button area) - Gut/Instinct
Yellow - Solar Plexus (no explanation required) - Seat of Emotions/Source
Green (Pink) - Heart - Love
Blue - Throat - Voice
Indigo - 3rd Eye = Intuition/Cognition
Violet - Crown - Connection to Source

It is after this that I once again surround myself with the white light of Universal Love and Protection and have time to "hear" any information I am supposed to.  Then as the last bells chime, I start returning to present and allow myself to come back to the room as it were.  It really is that simple, and I firmly believe meditation is something we should all try to do.  Thus why I'm sending out this lesson of love today.  Anyways, as usual, I digress.  Back to the information.

During meditation today, I clued in to a very important thing with respect to a piece of information I was given during a reading.  My connection to the earth's core, the iron core.  Now, I will say that it doesn't mean I'm anything special, but during today's meditation I figured out what it means for me.  Again, my understanding, take from it what you will. 

As a psychic medium, establishing a connection with the earth's core is vital to tapping in.  It is the deepest connection possible.  It is at this time that I send out healing thoughts to our planet and to those that inhabit it.  It allows me to tap into the energies like tapping into earthquakes.  (See previous blog about Japan).  It allows me to FEEL what's going on within the heart of it all.  The core of the earth.  The earth's heartbeat.  The shift and shifting.   

From root (the very root) to Source, the lines are made open through meditation.  And meditation today was a very humbling experience.  I learned so much today for which I am eternally grateful.

We all have intuition ready at the wait when we're ready to start using it.  I say now, meditation helps that connection even more.  By grounding, centering, and focusing, we allow ourselves to slip away from the human experience of ego and just BE.

The Disconnection Connection

If everything came to a screaming halt, and you were left with nothing but the clothes on your back, would you be okay in your own company?  When was the last time the television or computer were walked away from in exchange for a good old fashioned book?  A board game?  A card game?

One of those remarkable moments in time came yesterday, finding my husband home from work first thing in the morning.  While it was a quiet day at work, it was a blissfully fulfilling day at home.  Since the last time I can even remember, my husband took advantage of a true day off and we made the best of it.  After pulling out a model he's been wanting to start for awhile, and in need of a few small supplies to get started, we ran a few errands in the morning, and par for my usual course upon returning home, only a music station was tuned in.  Husband returned to his hobby and I returned to my reading.  We sat in silence together, nourishing our souls with loving activities, not needing to say a word, happy knowing we were sharing the same space.  It was beautiful.

I usually don't watch a lot of television and opt for time with myself or my friends and family.  As I watch in the world these days, I wonder how often one takes the time to be with oneself and enjoy the refreshing experience it is.  You know, an experience where you completely disconnect from all things electronic that keep you typing away about doing this or doing that, in exchange for a more organic connection.   

For me, disconnecting to all things media related, but for music, allows for a deeper connection.  A connection we should all consider making time for each and every day.  One that enriches our souls through being able to tuck yourself away from the chatter of the world and listen to the chatter of one's soul.  That burning desire to pick up a good book, paint or even garden for that matter.  Time to engage with life outside of the hectic schedule.  A time for you.  Yes YOU.  And, of course, time for those that matter most in our lives, the loved ones we surround ourselves with, not the loved things.

I wish you time for you.  I wish you the experience of time well spent disconnected from media, and reconnected with the richness of life to be lived.

Ego and The Spirit aka Beauty and The Beast

While having a flare for the dramatic (should have been an actor?! - not), I have been reminded throughout my life that I am considered to be humble.  When I have had people witness to the ability of being a psychic medium, I have been met with, "Why aren't you doing this?" and "Stop being so humble".  I can tell you the answer.  The answer is fear.  And a really strong dose of it.  So, in an effort to walk through my path I know I am meant to be on, I started this blog.  Since then, I have made it known to my immediate family that I was born this way and have been aware since about age 3.  And, as time goes on, I know that it will be something I must confide in with my General Practitioner.  Strictly because I believe as time moves on and experiences are shared within the community, my "dirty little secret" will be no more.

It is with this in mind, and for some time now, I have been working on my triggers.  The Ego as it were.  What I must remember, and what we must all remember, is that we are spirits inhabiting a human form.  Human experience is a journey of Ego.  With spirit in mind, one can learn to let go of egoic patterns that are detrimental to our well being.

Ego is responsible for all of our worst behaviors.  The hissy fits, the temper tantrums and the crying jags.  You know, the "meanie", the "nasty", the "bitchy", the "cranky".  Behaviors that dictate we don't like what's happening or we aren't getting our way.  What we must remember is that ego is our learning lesson.  It lets us know when something is needing to be tuned up.

One of my worst egoic patterns that I am learning to release is judgment.  And as my triggers are hit on a daily basis, I learn to get to the meat of the matter - what it is I'm seeing in myself that's being reflected back.  Upon figuring it out, it is recognized, released, and its behaviors released.  Now, it isn't going to happen over night, but the more I acknowledge and release, the faster it will go away.
With the two most important factors driving my life course being Love and Help, part of releasing judgment is letting go in love.  For instance, I have a particular person that must be a part of my life, despite their departure from it, and this person pushed alot of my triggers as it were.  When I made the decision to recognize a bigger picture, I realized one important thing, this was their ride.  I just happen to be an unavoidable passenger, but I must recognize what it is I see in myself from this person's behaviors, learn from it if I haven't already, and then let them go on their journey in love and light.  It is not up to me to take on their lessons.  How unloving is that?  It is also not up to me to judge.  It is not up to any human to do so.  It is an unloving behavior.  What is loving is how I view the situation now.  And although I have my frustrating moments, it is getting better.  When this person causes a disruption, I move faster to feeling sorry that they feel they have to behave this way, and try not to buy in.  I send them love and healing on their journey, and let nature take its course.  It always will.  It is the Karmic Rule applied to all energy.

What you put out is what you get back.  My intentions are to put out love and light, to you and the world, in hopes of building a better planet.  One that finds us all on a journey of building a better self, which in turn builds a better world.

Ability vs. Gift - Oh how I continue to grow.

So, I have to say, if ever messages from the Other Side were coming through, these days see not a minute go by without someone or something arriving.    I have watched John Edward on two different shows in the last week and a half, and I am reminded of a blog I wrote soon after watching the movie, Hereafter, with Matt Damon.  Now, I am not going to say I'm right, but gosh, could I be closer?  I had said not to be surprised if a psychic comes back to TVland.  Well, while I cannot confirm that Hereafter may be based on his life, one of my favorite psychics, John Edward, is starting a tour once again, while promoting his new book "Infinite Quest". 

There have been three psychics that I have always been drawn to.  Sylvia Browne, John Edward, and James Van Praagh.  Boy am I glad to see John Edward conveying what I feel may be the final piece for me to move forward confidently.  John Edward gives people the tools to experience connecting to passed loved ones.  He does not advocate that his new book is to allow people to run out there and start making money doing what he does.  Instead, he encourages the use of his book to allow people to open to the possibility of receiving messages from their passed loved ones, angels, and guides without the use of a psychic medium.  How brilliant.  He's right, and it's time for me to get on with workshops. 

However, I have come to an even better understanding of things thanks to all the help I've been receiving from psychic mediums making guest appearances and offering up books for help.  With special thanks to John Edward for putting a better spin on things for me.  And, as always, a veteran in the field has some pretty vital information for someone like me.  Information I immediately took to heart.  You see, how John Edward worded what he does is one of the best ways for any psychic medium to word what they are able to do.  I even used the word in the preceding sentence.  I am "able".   What I have is an ability to communicate with the dead.  What I leave people with is a gift.  When I have said I have a gift, I don't believe I should be.  John Edward stated that by saying it's a gift gives the impression that I am better than other people.  Well, I'm human, that's it.  I have an ability to communicate with passed loved ones, angels, and guides, and the ability to see things not yet present or things that have come to pass. 

Of all the spirits working by my side, I can now add my beloved father to the mix, and let me tell you, his visits have been not in the dream state I have been expecting, but loving hands placed on mine during a cry, to the point of turning my right hand ice cold.  While I don't have all of the answers, and because they don't have formal training for psychics, I know in my heart of hearts that it is him.  Having made his transition, and knowing his daughter has the ability to see beyond the physical realm, it has made contact that much easier. 

I also discovered something even more remarkable.  I have always known that my ability comes from my dad's side of the family (love you mom). And, as I sat very early on this Friday morning reading and doing one of the exercises in the book, I made a discovery.  It chilled me to the bone.  My "angel" Jonathan that I've talked about is my great grandfather.  Of all the things, I just received a history of the "Hartt" line and my dad's grandfather was John.  I am hoping to see a picture of him soon.  While Jonathan shines in gold he is tall (about 6 feet) and sturdy.  He has narrow features and is stalky.  Now, as I sat doing this exercise thinking of all of my team working with me, I started listing all of my helpers over there when I came across the astouding moment of realizing just who Jonathan was.  I would have never put the link together, but now, thanks to my dad, I can.  My dad is always doing stuff like that these days.  From a lone buck to a lone mountain goat, or even the gift of history, he is always helping out.  I love it!

What I want to tell you is that our loved ones want is nothing more than to be able to reach those of us still in the human world.  It is also our responsibility to stop sloughing "signs" off as coincidence.  From waking up at a certain time to certain numbers always being noticed, they are always trying to communicate with us.  We just have to take the signs for face value and stop trying to "ego" it away.

I have had "1-1's" for weeks now.  311, 811, 211, always with the ones.  My angels and guides converse with me in numbers, my father with animals and cold right hand, and everyone else that comes through with whatever images they deem fit.  It really can be perfectly random to me, but will always hit home with a client.  It is up to us to become "tuned in" as it were, and allow ourselves to be open to receiving messages from those on the other side.  I am not advocating that everyone run around and turn themselves into a psychic.  It really is a huge responsibility.  What I am advocating is allowing yourself to be open to the possibility of receiving messages from not only family passed, but your own angels and guides too.  Tuning in to a better frequency to help out in life is always a leg up.  I mean, how many times have you banged your head against the wall going, "If only I hadn't", or "I should have - blank - but didn't".  "If only I'd listened to my gut".  (That's where free will comes in - but that's another blog for another time).  Wouldn't you love to be a little more tuned in to allow yourself to be guided by spirit along the way? 

The answer should be yes.

Love and Light.

The Japan Earthquake and More...

"What if the very foundation of mankind is about to be rumbled???" Vague. Sure. Right. Yes. People could say one could read whatever one wants to into the statement I made in my December 2, 201 blog, but I'll tell you this. The foundation of mankind has been rocked. An earthquake measuring 8.2 hit Japan. The tsunami that followed was devastating. Is it over? No.

Now, it doesn't take a scientist to figure this out. I get that. However, I am not an earthquake expert and not more than an hour ago, an aftershock of 6.2 hit. They will continue, and there will be worse. Japan is in a state of emergency and everyone needs to be evacuated. The nuclear plant has exploded and don't let the spindoctors tell you otherwise. Reports of radiated human beings have come in.

All of us need to take a step back and take a look at the bigger picture. The global picture. Japan has just undergone one of the largest earthquakes in history. Libya is at war. North Korea and South Korea are at odds. Civil unrest has ousted the leader of Egypt, and the civil unrest is contagious.

Many religious people would consider this the end of days. What we need to realize is that this an opportunity. An opportunity to be better humans. ALL of us. Whether we believe in a higher power or not the signs of a necessary change cannot be ignored. Personally, as one who does believe in the other side, we are being given the universal bonk on the head as it were. Things MUST change if mankind is to continue because what we're doing right now is NOT working. Who cares about fighting each other anymore, oil does not matter. Humans do.

As I have stated before and I will really say it now. We are coming to a pinnacle. Think of it this way. If one were to draw an "X" consider it a pair of swords crossed. When one gets to the center there are two directions one can take. Let's say that one road leads to certain destruction and one road leads to construction. With construction comes the laying of a strong foundation, and with this pinnacle will come the choice. To build this planet to be the better place it really can be or self-destruct.

I have full faith in the fact that humans will give their heads a shake, come together globally, and start playing nice with each other. I understand we all have our paths to lead regardless of what that might look like, but we do have a choice to do better. We don't need oil, so to heck with the wars. There are so many natural sources of energy someone can think up something kinder for our environment. And what about those trapped in amongst crises? There are people out there trained for this kind of emergency situation. We cannot help the lives lost. And I'm going to say it, because I know that people will say these things. "Consider it population control." "It was their time", etc. It's tragic. Pure and simple. It is devastating. But.....it is also an opportunity for the world to truly wake up.

We have to be better. And by better I mean kinder, gentler, more compassionate, more understanding. None of us are perfect, we are human, but things have to change.

I have to say I don't know how we're going to do it, but maybe it's a sign of the times when companies like Coca-cola (despite being coca-cola) start showing commercials about the things the company is doing to help out on this planet. I know, I know. They're kind of an oxymoron when they still sell 2-litre plastic bottles yet invest in eco-programs, but at least they're getting the idea to start being nice to the planet. Maybe that's what it takes, more commercials. Sometimes I forget that we live in a media driven society, but if that's what it takes to get us back on track, so be it.

My promise to you is this though. And really it's a promise to myself, my family, my friends, and this planet. I will continue to do my part. No more vague if any bells and whistles occur. A message is a message. Plain and simple.

Please, love your loved ones and send out thoughts or prayers to those in need. Miracles can and do happen. Let's send out wishes for a safe evacuation and that Japan gets all the help they need. These are our fellow humans, nothing else matters. Love is the only reality.

Namaste
