What Exactly is a Medium?

Are All Mediums the Same?

Just as people are individual people, so are the many facets of the gift of mediumship. People whose gifts fall under the "medium" category, may have many different variations of this gift, as well as different missions, and areas in which they are meant to help. Read more

Are You Here For Rescue?

Have there always been those in your life close to you, who said to you, "You can't save the world."? Do you find that others are constantly drawn to you who need help in some way? Or perhaps, you have always been drawn to, or have always been involved in, careers and/or volunteer work that is centered around rescuing in some way. If this is the case with you, you are here on a rescue theme. Read more

We Are Powerful Creators

We are all given the seemingly "invisible" ability to create our lives through the power of our minds and emotions. I am calling it "invisible" because for the most part, we live out many years of our lives, and for some, even their entire lives, without coming to the realization, or "seeing" that we are truly powerful creators, and the navigators of our own courses in life.

There is a Reason You Are Empathic

Do You Feel Cursed by the Gift of Empathy?

Being empathic can often times feel like a curse in our stages of development. We constantly absorb energies and emotions from others around us, which can be totally exhausting in a day, especially on those days in which we may find ourselves surrounded by negativity. Read more

Removing the Negativity

Is Everyone Around You Negative?

People who are just choosing the pathway to a positive life, and are awakening to their own potential to literally create the world around them, often wonder what to do about the negative people around them. I hear such statements as, "I am trying hard to think positive, but everyone around me is negative!" Read more

The Magic of Minerals in Crystal Healing

My dear friend in Australia, Jeanette Stein, has published a wonderful new book, The Magic of Minerals in Crystal Healing.

I have not yet read the book, but am anxiously awaiting the opportunity to do so! Jeanette's book has been published with brilliant photographs to help identify the various different forms of crystals, and contains a great deal of her vast knowledge in the area of healing with the use of crystals.

Jeanette is a gemmologist, naturopathic herbalist, and a registered nurse. This wonderful book has been born of all her research and studies!

From Jeanette's book description:

The Magic of Minerals in Crystal Healing is a reference book designed to help you discover which minerals you need more of and the crystals that contain them, thus enabling you to improve your own health. The book has a mineral reference book at the back to understand mineral nutrition, and a chemical composition list at the front to find your minerals. Each crystal shows a photograph, chemical composition, healing properties and an explanation of how the minerals account for the crystals healing to mind, body and emotions. Using nutrition to research the minerals that make up the crystals and correlating those with crystal healing properties provodes a world wide accepted modality to explain why crystals DO heal. This book is set to bring crystal healing back into mainstream acceptance.

Different Meanings of Some Psychic Terms

There are many different terms used out there in the marketing world for many different kinds of gifts. I am often asked about the various terms and their associations with gifts.

Psychics come in many various forms according to which gifts are strongest, and which ones they utilize in doing readings, psychic investigations, profiling, and the many other avenues of light work pursued by those with psychic gifts.

Live a Life of Passion

We have all been given gifts and tools to use in this life. There is no one who is without their own set of gifts and tools. We brought our gifts and tools with us in order to create joy and peace within ourselves, and to serve all those around us through the love and passion we create within us. You must know yourself in order to truly live from the heart, and you must use the gifts and tools you have brought with you.

What is it that you have ever done that created a "driving" within you? What have you stayed up late in order to keep enjoying, skipped other things in favor of, or otherwise felt passionate about? What are your strengths? What do you love? What have you always been good at? What gives you peace, and even, where, in your life do you need peace?

These are all questions you need to ask yourself if you are not truly enjoying your life. When we do not use our gifts, we drift farther and farther from any sense of peace within.

If there are negative obstructions in your life keeping you from living your passion, remember, you put those obstructions there. The important thing to ask yourself is why. Fears put us in a pattern of creating obstacles for ourselves in our own lives that prevent us from living our passions. In other words, we do this to ourselves.

Do not let your fears limit your life. Your potential in using your gifts is endless.

Change Can Happen

How many times has a friend said to you about another person, "People don't change!" Of course, what they are talking about are patterns of a person's behaviors, and not, of course, about a person's core personality, right?

While we certainly cannot force change on another, it is important that we realize, behaviors are learned. They are learned from our environments, and what we have allowed to become part of us, and our daily lives.

Many people were born in negative environments and learned negativity early in their lives, thus making the negativity a pattern in their lives. So, if this is all a person knows, then that's the way it is, right? Not so. In fact, so very wrong!

The circumstances of our lives at birth were there for us to learn from, grow from, and awaken from. Once our patterns of thinking change, our patterns of emotion change, and our lives are dramatically changed!

There is always a reason we are attracted to different things and situations in our lives based on what is comfortable and familiar to us, and of course, based on what we have chosen to learn and grow through here. If you want to change your life, and the negativity patterns in your life, you have to change what is familiar to you.

Your thinking must change, and your new thinking must become second nature to you. Over time, you will find, your emotional reactions to things will also start to change.

You must look for, and be grateful for, something positive in every single situation. You must work through emotional issues at the very core. Feelings are the energy that bring forth manifestation. Negative feelings are our cue that there is growth to be achieved through learning to move past issues, as well as make peace with them.

What we think and feel determines what we attract into our lives, and thus forms our world around us. If you want to change your life, put the focus inside you. It is there, where the power lies to create the life you want.

Don't Be Controlled By Guilt

When we allow ourselves to feel guilty, especially about our true feelings, we allow that guilt to control us. Feelings are neither right nor wrong. They are feelings.

The way we feel about a certain situation should be a guide to show us what areas there is need for growth. Feeling guilty about your actions in a past situation, does not change your past actions, nor does it do anything constructive whatsoever, to change any outcomes you are unhappy with.

The challenge is to work through those feelings and be able to turn them into a positive vibration rather than a negative vibration. Patterns of guilt, including allowing another to impose guilt upon you, stifle spiritual growth.

It is important to remember that the feelings of guilt do not come from the person who imposed them upon you. They come from within you, and thus are a signal to work through your feelings, forgive yourself, and come back to now.

We only have now. There is nothing you can do to change the past, but what you are doing right now impacts your future. Start from here.

Another Great Night on Alt-Experience!

I had another opportunity last night to chat with Stone Bryson of Alt-Experience as a guest on his blogtalk radio show. Stone is a very interesting person, and I always enjoy chatting with him.

Stone is a writer, a poet, and a libertarian, who is a fabulous radio host, as well! He has a variety of deep interests, and has some very interesting guests lined up over the next few shows.

Alt-Experience is now airing twice per month for one hour and a half segments. I've accepted an invitation to join him as a regular guest, on the last Tuesday of each month.

If you missed either of the shows I've been involved with, you can listen to the archive at http://blogtalkradio.com/stonebryson.

Share Your Feelings While You Can

Never miss an opportunity to tell someone how special they are to you and how they have enhanced your life.

So, often, the grief of losing a loved one can be so overwhelming simply because we did not take the opportunity to tell them how we felt about them. We grieve deeply for that regret, and that fear that our loved one didn't know just how special they were to us.

Let me assure you. They know. They are still with you and are still very much a part of your life. They love you and they want you to be at peace.

You can still tell them. They can hear you.

It is for our own sakes, that we share our feelings with others while we have the opportunity to do so, as well as for our loved ones.

Truth Rises

Being dishonest is quite literally a waste of your time. Truth is designed to rise to the top, so no matter how many lies you must tell to keep the lie, and how much deeper the situation gets, in the end the truth will shine free on any and every single situation.

Deciding to be honest rather than telling that little white lie can prevent weeks, months, even years of stress to follow in trying to keep the little secret, for only the price of a few minutes discomfort, in most cases, where one might feel compelled to lie.

You can also prevent telling that little white lie, just by simply not answering questions you are asked that you might feel uncomfortable discussing at the moment. For instance, if you are asked a question that you are not sure you want to respond to, how about asking the person why they are asking?

In any case, if truth is inevitable, then dishonesty is unproductive - plain and simple.
