I’m certified! In mediumship, that is

designingfairy

Took a fabulous workshop this weekend with Charles Virtue and Tina Daly, and I am now certified as a medium.

My big draw in taking the class was to help myself and my students. So many of us who are sensitive also have the ability to detect and communicate with spirits in the room. Having a way to “shut it off” and create boundaries is a necessary skill. So many of us have this ability, it is amazing that we aren’t taught as children how to use it alongside tying your shoes and learning the alphabet.

Although for years I communicated with animals that have passed in my practice, I hadn’t realized that I was constantly talking to my dead people relatives. This became apparent the day of the workshop. There were so many people in my bathroom talking to me and bothering me, apparently excited about the class and being heard.  When there are many spirits around like that, I often feel totally wired, which feels like nervous, crazy energy. In the workshop we learned a way to create some serious boundaries and that night was one of the first I felt quiet in my head and alone with just my thoughts and feelings.

I will keep you posted if I do go in the direction of readings at this time. In the meantime, I am offering Animal Mediumship online class that starts in August now with some new added tools. Details here.

Animal Reincarnation & Changing Perceptions

designingfairy

Can animals come back as other animals? Well, of course. As always, are perceptions change with our experiences.

Just watched a horrible movie last night, The Fourth Kind. It’s about the bad aliens abducting people. Many of the people in the movie did not believe in aliens or UFOs until they experienced first hand their presence. Bang, zoom, zip, their perception changes of what is possible in the universe.

That’s been my experience as an animal communicator. From day one in my practice, my precious perceptions and beliefs were thrown out the window on everything from animal behavior to reincarnation.

When Emma Lou made her appearance after leaving as Lucy, my belief in reincarnation was reinforced. I’ve talked to countless clients with similar experiences they can’t explain. So when my tortoise went through the dog door the other day, I wondered, who is this guy really? I immediately got the thought he was a dog I knew coming back and he was making that clear. I thought it was coincidence for just Speedy having fun when he went out the door, but when I scolded him, picked him up and put him in the other room, and he still made his way to that door, I knew he was communicating to me.

How cool is that Speedy is a former dog? I could look at it in two ways–either he is here because he loved me so much and wants more, or he’s a teacher and I’m still not “getting it.” I think the first idea will suffice.

Moms and talking to dead people

designingfairy

Historically this is a tough week for me. My mom crossed over on May 5th fourteen years. It’s a day that comes around with a thud whether I acknowledge it or not. To add insult to injury (boy, I love that expression), dealing with our special needs daughter, we now have frequent family therapy sessions. And in yesterday’s session, it came up that since I am not my daughter’s biological mom, I am not her “real” mom. It was a little insensitive oops-wording from our therapist. Ouch! With Mother’s Day approaching, all these mom injuries are hitting the fan.

Last night, my head ached. This is a sure sign that someone on the other side is trying to communicate. I saw lots of owls–my mom’s favorite creature, before she showed me a weird vision. It my childhood home. We had one fancy room that was the guest living room. Technically, it was highly impractical for a home with kids and a shedding dog. The couch was white with soft fur that you wanted to touch but couldn’t. In this room, there were fancy artifacts, expensive paintings and a glass coffee table. We were not allowed to hang out here, much less sit on the couch. (Although our beagle was known on occasion to sit there when no one was home.) It was the guest living room, after all, for entertaining, but my parents never entertained in it. Ironically then, the room sat like a museum. Out of all visions my Mom could send at this time was a clear picture of the white couch.

How did this vision apply to my mothering or grieving issues?  When I told my pal Wendy this story she blurted out, “Don’t save the best for other people!” This of course, would follow my other posts here of leaving myself last often.

How much have we learned from our Moms about giving to ourselves vs. giving to others? Were there false messages along the way? Was that special couch that I couldn’t touch a symbol that I couldn’t have the special things and treatment? That was for everyone else? Was my daughter now that couch? I could see it, take care of her for the past five years, be mom, but the role of mom was reserved and belonged to others? How long was I taught this odd withholding?

The miraculous part of all of this is Mom, fourteen years later, must have done some soul-searching on the other side to have learned this lesson now, and is now anxious to impart this wisdom to her daughter as she must painfully watch as she repeats her past mistakes.

Animals and the Astral Plane

designingfairy5 Comments

Before sleep, I usually tell Foxy I want to visit with her in my dreams. I notice this usually happens somewhere between 3am and 8am. The first half of the night I sleep like dreck. 🙂

The visits in my dreams have been consistent. I always go to the same place in the astral world. Foxy is there, living her life, and I can feel and see her with great clarity.

Last night, I spent the entire dream at the same college I always go to in sleep and Foxy followed me around through the whole dream. Again, the dream was quite lucid. What was amazing this time is how strongly I felt her personality and energy. I was with her. And like in this world before she left her body, she stayed by my side.

When I woke I felt glorious!

How do you know if it is a real spirit visit vs. a dream?

  • The dream is so lucid; you are aware you are some place else but dreaming.
  • Your senses are heightened. I could feel Foxy’s fur and her personality.
  • I felt wonderful when I awoke carrying with me the energy of the Other Side.
  • It is consistent: the details, the place you go for the visit.
  • And finally, because I asked for a visit before I went to sleep!

Happy dreaming…

Spiritual Timing: Our world vs. Spirit World

designingfairy1 Comment

“Timeframes – Spirit World vs. Our World

My biggest frustration working with the Spirit world, is the discrepancy I have found between our time schedule and theirs. Here’s my translations/definitions:

soon — Could be a month to a year (ask for clarity with this message)

very soon — Within a month

March — Okay, whatever is going to happen will probably be in March if the animal is being this specific.

Spring – Be sure to ask if that is this Spring or next Spring, or several Springs down the road; trust me on this one”

Guidance through dreams

designingfairy1 Comment

Over at Julia’s Leonine Times, she mentions “So many of my friends as well as clients seemed to be in the midst of a personal armageddon.” (Do sign up for her newsletter. It’s very helpful.) Reading these words, I felt my body relax. We weren’t the only folks experiencing the crazyiness that is happening. Energetically what IS going on in the world? On the bigger scale, financially things are falling apart to be rebuilt. Makes sense, we all seem to be experiencing a painful rewiring and restructuring of our lives, as I described in my last post. In my life, this showed up as a crisis in our family  relationships. What HAS helped was my connection to Spirit.

When Foxy was dying, I had closed off. So many messages I was receiving were false or incorrect. (Turns out many well-meaning spirit relatives were trying to help me feel better with false “it will be fine.”) I wanted nothing of my Guides and helpers. I was angry and upset. They had promised she’d be here for another year or two! What I did trust was Foxy’s voice through it all, which was honest and true expressing what she was experiencing. A friend reminded me to lean on my helpers now when I need it the most, but I couldn’t. I didn’t trust it. What has come through in spite of my will, has been the enormous help I’ve had through the dream state. Every step of the crisis I would wake with profound knowing and understanding. Many of those times, I remembered being with Foxy’s spirit or dreaming of school. Through my dream state, true guidance could come through. Perhaps this is a different way, a restructuring of how I listen and receive guidance.

The 30 day tribute

designingfairy

homageIn our Animal Mediumship online class that I teach, I present the 30 day challenge. In between my usual posts here, I hope to keep up a 30 day tribute to my friend and coworker, Foxy Cleopatra. Although she has been very active in her visits lately, I still miss her physical presence and would like to pay tribute to her life in a fur body.

I invite you to join the challenge for your own animals that you have lost in the past year.

FoxyFor Foxy, who always tucked everyone in at night and slept by my side of the bed. She always refused to sleep on the bed, unlike Emma Lou, who as soon as she joined us, insisted on it.

Crazy life and Foxy visit

designingfairy

I haven’t blogged. Our lives are crazy at the moment right now. We are moving again in a month–our lease is up and we would prefer more than one bathroom. 🙂 Our daughter Jessica, who we had adopted five years ago, is having major troubles with her old trauma coming up and I can’t even begin to discuss that here. So, sometimes, when life is doing a big clearing and healing, the picture doesn’t always look very good.

On the one very positive note, our Foxy’s spirit, as she had promised before she crossed, has been very active in helping us, including visiting one of my best friends to deliver some messages. Wendy called me and said, “What a night. Foxy just visited with a bunch of messages.” To add to the validation, her son woke from a dead sleep and muttered, “I didn’t sleep well last night. The dog kept talking to me.”

Last night I had the funniest dream mixed in with a visit. Foxy burst into the room riding a bicycle! I watched amazed her tackling this bike. It was a bit of a joke because when Foxy was alive, she was constantly pushing herself to learn and try things, and was determined to always heal everything that didn’t work in her body. I asked her how it was possible she was still here. And she said, she regenerated. She then turned into Demi Moore! She told me in her Foxy voice, “I wanted to continue being your teacher, Dear.” I told her I had plenty of questions, so we sat and talked. I woke with the best feeling, awashed in Foxy’s energy!
