A medium is a communicator between worlds --they mediate between the physical world and the spiritual world. Most often, mediums can talk to those who have crossed over (yes, we can smell, hear, and "see dead people"). In many instances, we can often share messages from your Angels, Spirit Guides, and other higher dimensional beings. We act in a capacity delivering messages and assisting in communications-- we are the middle women & men to deliver the messages only ...not to interpret them.
Mediums exist in nearly every culture. Some allow the energies to use their bodies to share messages --called channeling-- while others (myself included) agree just to receive said messages and delivery them, we while maintain control of our bodies. The Spiritualist movement brought mediumship to the forefront of American consciousness in the late Victorian era. Even the well known Harry Houdini and Mary Todd Lincoln participated in their day.
Séances are formal gatherings where mediums share these messages and bring closure and connections from loved ones who have crossed over. My own séances (I call them "Peeking Through the Veil") do not reflect traditional practices of sitting around in a circle holding hands looking into a crystal ball, but they do give a forum for group participation in sharing messages from the Other Side of the Veil.
Mediumship, in all forms, brings many miracles. Watch the Afterlife Investigations: The Scole Experiments to learn more about how modern day mediums practice their gifts. But know... even some of that intense contact with the Other Side, while incredibly cool, still keeps me awestruck.
I consider myself primarily an energetic healer, a shaman, and secondly a psychic. I believe every session, be it a reading or a healing, will leave you feeling better. So why book a healing when I'm already sharing this with you during readings?
I always will do what I can to remove blocks, limiting beliefs, old fears and anything else that might be hindering you from being the rock star you contracted to be. While At the Table receiving a reading, I will brush away and clear from your energetic field these things. The psychic readings tend to go a bit more psychological as we seek to understand, shift and heal the way you see yourself and your understanding of the world. Spirit Guides and Angels will share with me messages to ensure you receive the guidance and love you most need to heal thyself.
The shamanic healing work....ahhhhh! This is where I get to share with you the very best of the best. On the Table is where the true miracles occur! Your Angels actually assist me in permanently resolving issues that may have irritated, blocked or stumped you your whole life. It is in the healing where we suss out and fix the root cause of the fears, beliefs, and pains. I use a number of techniques and tools to assist in your healing but most importantly, it is the directives of your own Guides and Angels that show me how to best serve you.
A healing session is both intuitive and energetic. We chat for a bit, maybe read some cards, then create your healing plan. You lie fully clothed on the table, snug and comfy, while I use prayers, oils, sounds and crystals to make magic. Many may fall asleep while others are curious and want a verbal play by play. This is your session and never have I witnessed the same miracles twice! At least once a day I hear "I feel lighter" and take this as a great validation that the work performed was effective.
I take my role with great sincerity and feel myself in service to your soul, your very being, always. If you are curious, it may just be your Angels giving you a nudge in the right direction.
And just for a lil perspective if the energy healing feels too New Agey... Jesus was an energy healer! The miracles He performed were highly regarded esoteric teachings commonplace in the Mystery Traditions of the time. This image is from the Florence Cathedral in Italy.
Ok, I don't know if this is a real word of the moment, but it will let me chat about our 12 strands of DNA, junk DNA, and cellular upgrades in any case!
Originally on this planet (think days of Atlantis and prior), we had 12 strands of DNA... We now have only two. This explains why even modern science says we only use a portion of our brain's actual capacity and ability. With just one-sixth of our original DNA, we are literally incapable of using our full potential until these strands are re-activated.
The so-called junk DNA is actually ancient potent cells that when put back together the right way (reactivated) can help us reclaim our fullest capacity of humanness.
Regardless of how far down this rabbit hole you choose to go, cellular healing helps us feel infinitely better. We are then able to be both fully functioning & fully conscious Beings: Wholey physical and spiritual, wholey thoughtful and compassionate, wholey kind and loving, and ever the best of human attributes we can be... It also helps us reclaim our psychic potential... But all that when YOU are ready!
Some resources may talk about this strand aberration as a defiling of the planet and Her people. So if you google, just know what you may be getting into....
The healing work performed by high-level healers are re-activating these strands and repairing you at the cellular level. When we do healing work, it is so the benefits are permanent and aid you in forever freeing yourself of old patterns and illnesses. You feel better because we are bringing back to you things you didn't even know to ask for!
I'm always hopeful I can find ways to bridge my world with that of the "everyone"... So here's the first of a new series attempting to explain what these kooky New Age words mean in easy to digest language.
Ascension is essentially the graduation of humanity. We have been glorified apes living, consuming and destroying the planet.... I say this with no political agenda or irksome fist throwin' simply stating bare bones... Our Ascension grants us a spiritual aspect that is now equal to that of our physical nature.
Some may say the Ascension allows us to leave Earth and explore galaxies beyond our own. My own belief is that Ascension puts us back on equal footing with the Ascended Masters (like Jesus, Buddha, Mother Mary) and our Angels. We become better than human by embracing our inherent spiritual nature and thereby evolving or graduating from our ape-ness.
As we watch the world around us, change is in the air... emotionally, physically, culturally and planetarily, everything is stirred up right now. What a gift this can be once we can see, heal and release the triggers and resulting memories it is revealing to us.
And schiet, this is never easy work. Grueling, sobbing, and messy is how it feels to me. This season of Metal, expressed in the Autumn is always a challenge for me.
Let's get neutral for a sec and postpone my verbosity... If we look back to ancient practices, the Chinese saw connections in everything. The classic healing manuscript the Yellow Emperor's Classic of Medicine reminds us Metal is all about:
- breathe
- inspiration
- grief
- letting go
- value & importance
- love of the father
My brain translates this as:
- stern & cold
- judgemental
- practical
- shallow
- not good enough
My interpretation of metal is whack yes, but its my truth so it's mine to own and clear. By living this belief of Metal, I have been denying myself all its gifts and it's teachings. As much as I love the fall, because of my blind spots, I've made it an incredibly uncomfortable time for myself. Silly brain!
So, I set out as any person ready for healing does... kicking and screaming! I scheduled for myself a cosmic ass whoop so big, I couldn't help but fall apart-- acupuncture, past life regression and 2 energetic healing sessions all in a week. Crazy to be certain, but I knew I needed help to shake off whatever giant brambles are holding me back.
I was a mess by the weekend, feeling like I had lost myself... questioning everything in my world... and feeling utterly unconnected to this thing called Metal-- this core expression of nature that I was completely unable to touch. I was vulnerable and eager but still unsure what came next. Then it happened... a true to life death that culled it all and brought the gift of resolution.
My favorite college professor died. Brutal fucking pancreatic cancer, the beast that also took out my grandfather (who coincidentally died 25 years ago today!) and my celestial brother, Bill Hicks. Remember this is all connected -- The pancreas in Chinese 5 Element is the store-house of ideas... perhaps they were all just too damned full of inspiration!
Hal taught me to see the magic in life again. He inspired and lifted me in ways I didn't yet know at 19 years old. He saw me for who I was and championed me to feel and be fearless. Inspiration was guaranteed whether he was teaching German (sorry Professor, my tongue never did quite get in the swing) or Goethe, Schopenhauer's philosophy or the societal importance of fairy tales... Hal brought passion and mysticism into every day. I took every class and an extra year of college just to have more time being in the presence of this great man. I can see now how many of my passions, my core values, were birthed in his presence and by his light.
As my boyfriend of that time so aptly said: "He made us believe". Grieving his passing, he's been quite present helping me heal. Weird noises in my house have appeared that I've never heard in my 4 years here. Ticks and scratches totally foreign to my home. Even my family has been aware there's something visiting us. Grief has been very present for me. Coupled with my intense week of healing, I'm in a perfect moment of acute vulnerability to heal.
I began wanting to write about Metal and the Fall and all the power and healing that can occur. But I'm too puddly right now. A blubbering raw monkey tyring to inspire others. Psah....
What Dr. Becker has helped me see so clearly is .... Hal was the perfect Metal-- inspired and fatherly, he challenged us all to be our best and more importantly to be mensch. I think all I really wanted was for him to be proud of me... proud of the woman I became and not the irresponsible young adult he knew. In his presence I felt special, important and in the heartbeat of God.
From the other side, He offered me a healing-- the profound gift of forgiveness.
Shame blocked my ability to feel and embrace my Metal. And Hal has helped me heal it. 13 years later, I can finally let it go. And this is the true value of the season.
Hal has reminded me our memories always judge us more harshly than God/Goddess/Spirit does. So embrace your shame, your flaws, your colossal f' ups and
bring it on. We have no space for it, no time for these heavy and
wasteful emotions that keep us from being who God asked us to be. Find
what inspires you, what hurts you and what ails you and blocks you.
This is not comfortable work, but it is essential. Use this season to let go of what no longer serves your heart, let go of what eats at your soul and breathe your true self back into the world.
I've never fancied myself creative. In high school I was a theater kid-- go figure, with my drama, it's shocking, I know!-- surrounded by friends who had creative impulses dripping from every pore. I was a dreamer unable to put into 3d my grandiose ideas, visions and musings. Alas, I felt muse-less and while far from uninspired, certainly a artistic stump.
When I was invited to participate in RAW Denver, I was given an opportunity to not only share my work with many, but also to see myself in a new way... as an artist!
Artists must walk the razors edge... unaffected by observations and criticism to deliver to the world something fearless and bold, something that moves people to feel something bigger than themselves. The true artist moves into a place of unnamed creation to share a unique self expression birthed from the inner worlds allowing the observer to find within themselves something before unnoticed. A healing can be given in the most pure of moments that wasn't even being sought.
Well heck, sign me up baby because this is precisely what I do each and every day. Walking the razors edge, unable to be planned or edited, I move into a space of pure communication with Spirit to bring into this world the healing you most need. Holy cow, I guess I am an artist. I'll work on healing my inner 12 year old now and share with you something we can both be very proud of!
The summer has whomped me...in only the most glorious of ways! My business is full, my family is thriving and I've launched a new mentoring program that is so freakin' exhilarating! But with all the bustle, I need to find more ways to be present in this moment.
Grounding, meditating and even just plain breathing are all ways we can do this. And while it may sound simple enough, my daughter taught me that this too must be learned, practiced and mastered in order for it to be a helpful tool.
While grounding may sound like more new age hoo ha, get over it and remember why we have these tools in the first place: Awareness is the only way out of chaos! If we have awareness of self, we don't get stuck, don't get sick, and know how to be the master in our life. If we have these keys, we not only thrive but also model for those around us how they can too!
A couple of things to do everyday:
~ breathe deep, open, pit-of-your-belly breaths!
~ feel your feet, bring yourself fully into your body and learn to make friends with it
~ cultivate peace ... find something that brings you quiet and you'll start to
feel how nurturing it is
~ stay out of your head ... your brain was designed to keep your physical body alive,
not to run the show!
~ feel, don't think
~ if you find yourself stuck, do something that brings you joy
To be fully present takes some practice. When you are fully available to others and the universe, you'll discover the most wonderful blessings find you! People notice you, clients are drawn to you, relationships are easier and you miraculously find yourself happy. And when you get low, as we all do, you know how to move through it with grace.
