Let go and let God

Forgiveness 

It is so important to forgive and to let things go. Not for the person that has wronged you. But for your own spiritual growth. If you hang on to hate and anger, it will affect everything about you. 

Not only do you need to forgive others. You also need to also forgive yourself. You can't change the past. So forgive yourself and learn from your mistakes. Your past does not define who you are. 

Now this doesn't mean you just sweep things under the rug and forget. You have to work through your hurt and anger, or it will keep popping up in your life. 

In order to be free of pain, anger, and hate is to acknowledge what has happened, and to work through the healing process. 

First thing that you must do is identify the problem. We all have several experiences that we struggle through. So it's best to identify one problem at a time. 

If you have unresolved issues with past abuse or trauma. It will block and unbalance your chakras, and will manifest into mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual illnesses. 

You need to figure out the best way to work through these past experiences. You can start a journal, go to a spiritual healer, or even go speak with a therapist. 

This is not an easy process for anyone. Trust me, I work on this daily. But it is so important to let the bad stuff go, so that you can enjoy the good. It will be near impossible for you to truly be happy with your life if you hang on to all the bad and hurtful things that have happened to you. 

So next time someone does or says something that hurts you or makes you angry, don't lash out. Instead take a step back and send them light and love.

"Forgiveness is the choice to see people how they are now. When we're mad at people, we're angry because of something they said or did before this moment. By letting go of the past, we make room for miracles to replace our grievances."

-Marianne Williamson  

Drifting away from friends and family is apart of life. When a friendships come to an end, it causes pain and sadness. Know that you have learned what you needed to learn from these relationships. Then let them go without bitterness and hate. Focus on the good memories, and the lessons that came from these relationship. 

If you lose a friend or family member, it is because you have outgrown that relationship. It's just like out growing a pair of pants, you don't want to keep the pants to remind of how they used to fit you. You need get rid of them, and buy yourself a new pair that will fit. 

Remember that every experience you have had, good or bad has shaped you into the person you are now. Take every bad situation as a learning experience, and make the choice not to let your pride and ego define you. 

Living in the here and now, and let go of the past. 

One thing we are all guilty of doing, is worrying about the future. I am a huge future worrier, and it can cause a ton of anxiety and stress. The thing that really helps me when I start to worry about the future, is to completely surrender myself to God. 

I always tell myself "I have everything I need for today". Try not to think about what happened yesterday or what will happen tomorrow. Try to focus on the current day. 

Stop trying to control everything, trust the process of life. We attract everything we put out there. So if you are worrying about the "what ifs" you are going to miss out on all the good that you could have in your life. 

Remember God always knows best, and things will always work out in one way or another. Surrender yourself to the present, and forgive the past. 

When you hold on to the past, you miss the opportunities of the future. The past can be a wonderful place to visit for memories, but it can also be a dangerous place. 

Don't let your past take away your future hopes and dreams. Let go of any fear and expectations. Simply appreciate the good that is around you. 

"For God did not give us a spirit of fear, but of power and love and self control"

- 2 Timothy 1:7

Let go and let God

God bless

Who goes to heaven and who doesn’t?

I have done hundreds of readings, and there is one question that I get asked the most. "Is there really a heaven? And if so do people who commit great sins get to go to heaven?"

The answer to this question is YES. This isn't always the answer that people want to hear. And honestly most of the time I get a blank stares and don't get a positive response to this answer. It's important for everyone to remember that no one is perfect. Our spirits are perfect, but we cannot remember what we truly are. What we are now are humans, and humans sin, it's in our nature. From a small lie, to murder. A sin is a sin.

But God loves us all unconditionally, and our life experience here on earth doesn't just happen this once. Outside of these bodies, we are perfect, and we don't sin. Our life here on earth has happened many times before, and will continue to happen. This isn't a one time journey. 

The best way I can explain this is that we do this, life after life. Which means we make mistake after mistake. Our spirit is perfect but our human form is far from it. None of us are born liars, cheaters, abusers, addicts, killers, etc. Things happen to us in our human lives and we evolve into these people. We all hurt someone is some way. 

But as soon as we die, we go right back to our perfect soul, and all of the knowledge of every life and every lesson comes flooding back. The reason we come back over and over is to learn and to evolve. Unfortunaly we don't always get it right. Sometimes we get stuck, and we just screw it all up. But on the other side we have nothing but love and support routing us on.

So the answer to the question, if someone kills will they go to heaven? Well yes, if they want to go to heaven they will. There are lower level spirits that do get stuck here and don't move forward. But that is their choice, they make that happen. And I will try to write a blog about that. But I have said this before in past blogs. God has NO conditions to his love. We learn from each life, each mistake, and it makes us better and closer to our goal of being divine. 

Is my loved one in heaven even if they committed suicide? 

This is a question I am frequently asked by people. The first thing I want to say is that God loves us all so very much. So of course people that committ suicide are in heaven. 

Situations in life are hard but always temporary. Life changes constantly! So if you do find yourself thinking these thoughts, just know that what you are going through is a temporary situation, and suicide is a permanent solution.

Anyone who commits suicide is mentally not doing well, and God would never punish someone for being mentally sick. 

God would never punish anyone for anything!! Let me say that again while you process this. GOD WOULD NEVER PUNISH ANYONE FOR ANYTHING! 

This is a concept that people just have a hard time grasping. God doesn't punish?? God doesn't stick people in an enteral fire pit of hell? Honestly before I had deep conversations with Jesus and honestly from what I believe from deep inside me was God too. I though the exact same thing. Heck I was a full on Christian and everything I believed was blown out of the water. 

But I had the source telling me this, how could I doubt this. I mean as he is telling me this, and it all made sense. I had no doubt. And all I could think was how all the fear everyone has in their live over God because of religion is so sad. And I knew I had to tell what I had learned. Even though people would say it was blasphemy, and it was the devil, and I was wrong. I knew I had to speak it, I knew I had to blog about everything I had been learning. 

Boy have men really messed with our heads on this one right? So basically from what I really try to explain to people is be a good person, and do good deeds because it makes you feel good, and because it makes you happy! Not because you think it's something you have to do in order to go to heaven. Your moral compass should be based on who your true self is, not based on fear. In the end we will all be together. 

God is all about love.

Love and light

Coming out of my spiritual closet

I woke up really early this morning to a close friend of mine who has passed. She started talking to me about my gift, and how I shouldn't hide it from the world. My Nikki girl, my heart was filled with complete joy to have woken up to her sweet contagious smile, and her words of encouragement. 

So I finally did it! I made a public post on my Facebook page "coming out" publicly. And even though I was so scared and anxious I had Nikki, my grandfather, and my guide John there around me giving me the strength and love to do it. 

Over the past month I have slowly been messaging people that I trust, people that I knew would love me regardless. After messaging them, and getting the wonderful support I stared to add them to a private FB page I had created for my clients to be able to schedule readings, and to post their amazing testimonials.

Today I made the page open so that the group could be seen by others. When I was changing the settings from private to closed, it was if I was changing myself from being private to open. It is a very surreal experience, something huge, and something life changing.

I came out to my entire family a week ago, and people still find a way to surprise me. You see I thought it would be friends/acquaintances that would not support me. But as I was laying in bed last night my guide John told me that a bunch of my family members had left the group. He told me that it was ok and to not to be sad about it. 

I got online too look and see who was still there, and even though I was very hurt by the ones who had left, and couldn't just stay to support me out of love. I felt so much love and respect towards the ones who were still in the group. My guides were with me, and comforting me all night. What a blessing right? A blessing that most people will never get to experience. 

I know this is going to affect me socially, I know that some people will remove me from their life, and I know some will even say that I am crazy. But for the first time in my life I can honestly say that I don't care what people's opinions are about me. I know that I was given a true gift from God, and I have helped so many people. 

I have struggled my entire life over the way people have felt about me, so much so that it has at several points in my life taken me down into a very deep depression. I would get so hurt over people not liking me, or talking badly about me. It would literally consume me. Today I finally am able to break free from this worry, and insecurity about others opinions. And thanks to my guides and loved ones on the other side working with me almost daily, I finally feel free, and I can say with such pride that I don't care what others think. 

I have always felt so misunderstood, and always have felt like I was such an outcast. An outcast with friends, and outcast with family, and even an outcast to myself. I have had a lot of issues with how I have handled situations, and how I have reacted when I have been upset. It makes so much sense to me now why I have done these things. Not only was I not letting go of my past and taking accountability for my own actions, happiness, and future. I am also a medium, a healer, and an empath. Being an empath means that not only was I having my own emotions and reactions, I was taking in others as well. And as you can imagine this gift if not controlled, has made me a time bomb several times in my life. I have lost a lot of people that I love because of this. 

I never knew what any of this was, or what to do with it all. I wasn't protecting my energy because I didn't know how, heck I didn't even know what energy really was. But now that I have finally opened myself up, and accepted this gift completely. It has given me an entirely different perspective on life, and how to protect myself, and my energy. Don't get me wrong, I am in no way perfect at this, but I have come a long way and am getting better each day. 

I have such anxiety right now for "coming out", but I feel so good, and I feel for the first time in my life like a huge weight has been lifted off of my shoulders. My guides have been working with me a lot the past couple weeks, they have been trying to tell me I was ready to "come out", and today when I woke up to Nikki being there, and after taking with her I finally just said "today is the day". 

Thank you so much to all of you that have supported me, especially my husband. He has been amazing and has encouraged me in so many ways. The kind of love and support that I get from him is so very rare, and I couldnt espress in words how very lucky I am.  

I am so happy and filled with joy, and relief. I am so excited to see where this journey will take me, and how many people that I will continue to help.  God is good, and he always knows what our true potentials, and paths are. Try to completely surrender yourself to the higher power, embrace who you are with pride! You don't need anyone's approval to be YOU. Good is good, and he loves you all so very much. 

Thank you again for your continued support. 

God bless

What is energy? And how does it work?

Everyone and everything is made of energy. This means energy lives in every person, place, or thing. Everything vibrates.

We all have layers of vibrating energy fields around us. We live in an environment where the energy around us is constantly shifting. 

When we are surrounded by conflict, whether it be people, places, food, ect. And most of us are unaware of how to protect ourselves, we then absorb all of this negative energy into us. Once you are aware and are making a counsious effort daily to protect and cleanse your energy, you will start to thrive no matter what is around you.

Blockages and imbalances in our energy will start to maifest into physical and emotional illnesses. Energy healing will remove these blockages as well as any attachments that are connected to you.

Once you start this healing process, you will start to heal emotionally, physically, spiritually, and mentally. 

It's important to remember that energy work takes a lot of time. It's not something you can do once or twice and think all is fixed. Stay consistent, and never put any of your energy into anything you think is pointless. 

How can I feel spiritual energy? 

In order to feel spiritual energy you have to learn how to let go and remain in the present moment with a quiet mind.  As you let go of the little boundaries you have built up in your mind you will begin to develop an awareness of a vast inner space. 

This will give you the feeling of an enormous amount of freedom and with this freedom comes a creative and genuine appreciation for life.

It requires discipline and constant work. You will have to learn how to quiet your thoughts, and to be present in the "right now". This can be done by focusing on your own breathing, and meditation. 

Meditation can be very difficult to begin with especially for people with very 'noisy' minds, but with a continued effort results are inevitable. For beginners I always suggest listening to guided meditations. 

"The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new"

What should I expect when getting a reading?

The first thing that you need to do before a reading is make sure that you let your body and soul be completely open to the experience. It's normal to be somewhat skeptical, but if you walk into a reading with the attitude of "this won't work, this is fake" then it will be near impossible for me to connect to your energy. So if this is your personal belief then I would say that a reading is not for you.

I think a reading is best for people who are feeling lost, and have a huge void inside of them over the grief of losing a loved one. Before any reading I usually ask for my clients to either say a short prayer or do a short meditation right before the reading. I tell them to ask to be surrounded by light and love, ask that I am able to connect to their energy, then ask for any loved ones that have passed to come through during the reading. 

This experience will bring you joy, fulfillment, closure, and a cleansing feeling. These are all words that my clients have used to describe how they have felt after having a reading done by me.

Now this being said I cannot speak for other mediums, I can only speak about my work and my clients experiences, this experience is all about hearing from your loved ones that have passed, not for them to hear you. They hear you all the time, they are with you during the trials that you face, and they even pop in just to check on you. 

When I do a reading I like to go in with as little information as possible. This means I don't want to know who has passed, how they have passed, what they look like, or even struggles that you are currently experiencing in your life. I am all about validation. I will always ask the question "does this make sense"  so I would like for you to answer with a yes or no. So unless I ask a direct question, do not give me any information. 

I will start with telling you who I see/feel/hear around you. I will describe who they are, how they passed, a description if needed, and even memories that connect you directly to them. Spirits will often change their appearance from young to old, they will always try to come through as the way you remember them. This being said, there are times where I will be wrong or will misunderstand spirit. No one is 100% right, and any medium that tells you they are never wrong is not being honest. 

It can at times be overwhelming for me as a medium if a lot of loved ones are coming through at the same time. They get very excited, inpatient, and at times I have to remind them to slow down and take turns. This always makes me smile, trust me they don't lose their personalities when they go to the other side. 

A lot of the time I will get random words that will make absolutely no sense to me. But this one word usually ties into a memory or something current that is happening with your life right now. For example I have had spirit mention the word "blueberries" this was a memory of where my client and spirit had picked blueberries growing up. Sometimes I look at spirit and think "huh" lol but I have to say what I get or they tend to repeat themselves over and over. You see they are all about validation just as much as I am. They want you to know that they are there, and that is why they will mention things that only you and them would know. 

Spirit will often give you guidance with your life and will make sure that you are not holding on to anger or guilt in regards to them. They are in such a happy place, and any faults they had on earth are now long gone. They want for you to be able to have peace and love for them, not for their sake but for your own. Holding onto anger and guilt with affect your personal growth, and they only want the best for you.

It is important to be prepared for anything, spirit can bring up traumatic events such as abuse and other situations. This is not to upset you, but to set you free from what you are holding onto. This experience is amazing but is also very overwhelming. You are getting a ton of information, so if something is said that doesn't make any sense at the moment, it doesn't mean that it is not significant. I have had several clients that have messaged me days after the reading and say "I know what that meant now". Once you process everything usually other things will start to make sense. 

It is normal to be nervous or even anxious before a reading, the unknown is often scary and overhwhelming for us as humans. Even though I have talked about this is previous posts I want to again make it clear that everything I do is based around God and Jesus. I will not even allow for any darkness to come to me. I do not believe in witchcraft, and I always say a prayer before each reading. I believe 100 percent in what I do, and for me knowing that our loved ones and pets stay with us after they pass is very comforting. 

I hope that this answers a lot of your questions in regards to how I do my readings. Let the love and light shine upon you, God bless.

Love and light

Taking your power back

Do you make choices because they come from your will and what you want? Or do you make choices because of what someone else is wanting, guilting, abusing, or manipulating you into doing? 

This can happen with anyone, your spouse, your boss, a friend, your religion, or even a parent or family member. It is time that you stand up and take your power back! No more letting others control your decisions or emotions. If you are letting someone control how you feel, or how you act, then it's time that you step away so that you can free yourself of the situation. 

Society has stepped in yet again and taught us from a very young age that it is bad to be blunt, and to say exactly what you think. They say "she is too blunt and has no filter, therefore she is rude", or "you need to serve others before you serve yourself". They have taught us that it is selfish and mean to speak to your mind, and that you must respect your elders, and always put others needs ahead of your own. My opinion on this is don't respect anyone who doesn't respect you no matter what their age is, and always put yourself and your needs before anyone else's. Respect is earned, and it is not selfish to enforce this or to say your truth. 

For you to step into your power, you must take the power back from those warped and twisted definitions of what power means. Quit giving your power and energy away, take back it, and learn to harness your energy and power. Like I have said in one of my previous posts, this may be the point where you need to step away from someone, or set boundaries. You need to redefine this relationship and take back your power without feeling guilty or selfish. It is never selfish to take care of, or to stand up for yourself. You must alway put yourself as a top priority so you can be your best you! You will be no good to anyone if you are not taking care of YOU! 

Quit making excuses on why you let someone control your actions, and your emotions. Quit blaming others, make the decision to take control over your actions, and over your reactions. Excuses hold us back from being the best we can be, so let it go and let your life become what you want. I know I have personally struggled with this, as I think we all have, we make excuses for why we let a friend or parent control our emotions and decisions. I for one and currently working on taking my power back in a relationship, and with that being said it can be a very hard and emotional process, it is going to take time to retrain yourself into doing what you need to be happy, regardless of what someone else might say. 

The end result will be that you are living your life the way you want, and the way that you feel is best. Take it easy on yourself, cut yourself some slack, quit being so hard on yourself, and letting the self talk put you in a dark place. We are the ones that are responsible for our own happiness, so don't let anyone make you feel fear or guilt for doing what is best for you. Change how you react, and remove yourself from these people until you have learned how to "not care" what they think or say. This is going to take a lot of practice, so keep working on it and don't give up.

If someone you love does something that is hurtful or mean, make sure you say to yourself, yes they did hurt me, and it's ok to be sad, brokenhearted, and mad. But stop there! Don't let their actions ruin or control your life. You have the option to let their decision define you, or you can accept what happened, feel all of your feelings, then take responsibility for yourself, pick up the pieces, and move forward. If you let your entire life fall apart because of something someone else did, you are choosing to let this happen.

It's time that we take situations and learn from them, learn how to be better, and learn how to never let anyone control our emotions. Remember people can only take our personal power if we allow them to do so. So stand up tall, take pride in who you are, and never let anyone make you feel like you are not worth something. 

God Bless

You attract in your life a reflection of what you think/judge

What does it mean when someone says "you attract into your life a reflection of what you think and what you judge"? 

I am going to try and give you some examples and touch on some of my own personal struggles and growth. If you think people are dishonest, then you will attract dishonest people, if you are focused on unhappiness then you will be unhappy, if you are constantly negative then your life will be filled with negativity, and if you say your life is miserable, well you will in turn have a miserable life. 

In other words what you put out is what you are going to get back. This doesn't mean if you have an illness that you have asked for it, or if you have a streak of bad luck it's because you have put it out there and now is has come back. But if you focus non stop on this illness, or your bad luck, then it will get worse. 

I have mentioned in my previous posts how powerful our mind is, and most of us are so unaware of just how powerful it really can be. Everything that you hold in your councious thought becomes your cage and your reality. So if you start saying positive affirmations daily then your life is going to start to become more positive, it will literally become whatever you put out. 

So instead of being depressed all the time and saying how bad life is, how worthless you are, how you can't find or keep a job, or how unhappy you are, how ugly/fat your are. Try saying I am happy, I am healthy, my life is wonderful, I will find a job, I will be successful, and I am beautiful. 

This doesn't mean that life isn't going to test you, and it doesn't mean that life isn't going to be hard and throw you some curve balls. But it does mean that you can turn your life into whatever you want. 

Not only is saying and thinking with a positive mind so important. But what you allow around you is also going to affect the way you feel about yourself, and the way you feel about your life. 

You may have people in your life that you love dearly but if they are nothing but negative, or are constantly putting you down then they are no longer healthy to your mind, body, and soul. Sometimes you have to walk away from people, and it's not ideal, nor is it something that you may want to do. But how can you expect to start having a healthy outlook on life if you are around someone who is like a constant cloud hanging over you.

This also applies with places and habits, if your workplace is full of non stop gossip and cruelness, this will eventually start to influence your way of thinking. If you are an addict and you allow yourself to hang out at the bar with your friends, then this as well will start to affect your thinking and will start to temp you in a negative way. 

You may have to walk away from someone, find a new job, or even find a new hang out place if these things are no longer positive for you. Now this doesn't mean that you need to judge and put other people down, it means that you may have to just wish them nothing but happiness and simply walk away, or just take some space and set some boundaries. 

We as human beings are not perfect and we always make mistakes. So if you catch yourself judging or putting someone down, don't beat yourself up about it, just take a step back and try to go in a different direction. Another huge thing to do is to believe in yourself, if you don't believe in yourself then who will? 

Stand up for what you believe in, speak your truth, and don't back down to intimidation of any form. Never give up on something you believe in, and never give in to something you don't. Now this being said don't let your pride blind you, because there is a huge difference in believing in something, and being prideful. 

Remember that everything you are looking for lies behind the mask that you wear. So make sure that you don't deprive yourself of anything, shoot for the moon and if a door closes then build another. 

I myself have have experienced this as we all have, and it can be a very difficult thing to do. People may tell you that you are mean for putting yourself before them, but that is not true. In fact it is the complete opposite! 

If you don't put yourself first then you will never be able to make anyone else happy, nor will you ever be able to have the experience of having others enjoy you as a person. It's like the analogy that if you are on an air plane and the oxygen masks come down. Do you put the mask on you first or your child? Well you need to make sure you put it on you first because if not you will pass out and will no longer be able to help your child or anyone else. 

So first and for most take care of yourself, make sure that you are getting what you need to to be happy so that you can in turn help to make others happy. 

Society yet again has put this label on things, and on people. But if you can get past what others expect, or what others think and say about you. Then you will be able to excel so much with your personal growth. I have always been a very blunt and matter of fact person. It's been very hard for people to understand, or even like this quality about me. I for several years and even now still struggle with the fact of caring what others think or say about me.

Think about it this way, it is not any business of yours what other people think about you! It's only important what you think about yourself, and what your close circle of people think about you. If you have a close circle of people that put you down and don't build you up then you need to rebuild this circle. 

I know that I am in no way perfect, and even though I write about not judging, and having a positive lifestyle. It doesn't mean that I don't struggle with these things on a daily basis. I am human, and we as humans sin, it's a fact! 

Once you can accept that fact and know that it is ok to make mistakes then you will start to be more understanding when others around you make mistakes. So if you make the decision to walk away from someone, do it with a heart full of love. Let go of any hate, and try to forgive them. Don't forgive them for their sake, but for yours. You can't expect others to forgive you if you are not willing to do the same. If you hold onto a grudge or anger, this is only hurting you. It is important for your inner peace to forgive, and let it go. You can always forgive someone, and choose to not be around them: 

This is something I work on every single day and if you can get to a point where you can acknowledge and work through this, that will mean that you have become the best YOU. 

Life is about learning from our mistakes, so make sure you are truly learning from them, then let it go and move on. Love yourself for everything that you are, and enjoy this short life because it is such a blessing. 

God bless

Can you be a Christian Medium?

This is a question I have asked myself several times when this journey started. It has been, and is still a current issue that people are having with me and so many people around me. This is my response and my guidance to others. 

Of course you can be a Christian and be a medium. I know in the bible it talks about witchcraft, and false profits. Well I am in no way able to tell the future, and any honest and good medium will tell you the same. 

Even when we get advice from our guides or someone else's guides they don't just come out and say what will or should happen. Sure we may get information on a new life coming in, or a new job. But life changes every minute, and we still need to learn from life situations . 

My guides don't tell me what will happen, they are there to support and lead me to the correct path. The bible in my opinion is amazing! But the Old Testament and New Testament are very very different, and after Christ sacrificed for us everything changed. 

For me when I started on this journey I had to pray, and do a lot of soul searching. I will be honest I was worried that what I was recieving wasn't of God. Not because anything felt negative or bad. But because Christians as people try to make you follow what they think, and how they interpret of the bible. 

Two people can read the same scripture and both will have different views and interpretations. The trick is to not just read the bible and say "ok this is what it says, so that's that" you have to pray and talk to the Lord at the same time. 

Reading it isn't enough, you have to listen, and feel his guidance. I am very very fortunate to have connected with Jesus. Like I said in my very first post he was who I actually connected and spoke with first, it was not my guides. He has led me to many people over the past year. People that have needed help, and needed to find him, and the results have been amazing!! 

My journey started out with me brining people to the Lord. He was very clear on what he wanted me to do and I have never questioned it. I did what he asked and I have brought several people to him. It's something I will continue to do. So if I never questioned that, then why was I questioning it when I started to have more contact with the other side? 

Well it's because society has taught us that this is a bad thing, an evil thing. And yes there are people that do this and connect with "bad" or low level spirits, and do take their work to a dark place. I for one don't, everything I do is about Jesus. 

He is with me for every reading that I do. I pray to him before my readings, and I pray to him whenever else I feel the need. The reason I am talking about this is because I had a fellow medium bring this issue up in a Facebook group that I am in. 

This saddens me so very much, her post was about how her family telling  her that she is speaking to "demons" and not to spirits on the other side "heaven".

This was also brought up to me after a recent reading I did. I was told that family members were telling one of my clients that I communicate directly with the devil. 

Now I for one could give two shits what you think about me, but I feel like this needs to be discussed because there may be a time where another Christian like me goes frantic and searches online for Christian Mediums. Hopefully my blog will pop up and give some kind of guidance and faith. 

This is my opinion to the "Christians" that want to say what I do is from the devil. You are not a true Christian if you are saying these things or saying anything judgemental about anyone. That is not what being a Christian is about! 

Jesus wants us to love, and it is not our job to judge anyone! That includes someone who is a medium, someone who is an addict, or even someone who has killed or hurt others. We all go through life doing the best we can do. 

I for one feel sorry for the close minded people that make these harsh judgements. You are missing out on so much love by doing this. I want my blog to be there when the next Christian is scared because of what their beliefs are. In life we all grow, and our beliefs change. 

I have a gift that God and Jesus have made sure I am aware of. And to me it would be disrespectful if I did not use the gift that they gave me. So many people struggle with this, and I was ignorant to it just like most are. But know I can say I have grown, and I can stand up for what I truly believe is right. 

Don't ever let anyone make you feel like you are worshiping or following the Lord in the wrong way. As long as you follow him there is no wrong way, Jesus's love does not come with conditions! He already payed for all of our sins, all you have to do is follow him and love him. 

Here is something from the New Testament that I think we all really need to listen to. 

Matthew 7:1-5 
“Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be measured to you. Why do you see the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye? Or how can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when there is the log in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take the speck out of your brother's eye."

I think people get the wrong idea about when we say we communicate with spirit. This all comes from God. At least for me and for a lot of mediums that I know. God and Jesus talks to all of us, it's just that the majority of people done realize or pay attention. 

This gift is inside all of you. So with all of this being said I am proud to say that I am a Christian Medium. 

So be kind to each other and try to not judge someone as you have never walked in their shoes. God is good and loves us all. Always let his light and love surround you. 

Love and light

Getting rid of negative energy/attachments

Have you ever hung out with someone that seemed to drain/exhaust you? Or gone to someone's home and felt instant anxiety and discomfort? 

This is you literally sucking out their energy, this is something that happens to all of us, I know it happened to me all the time before I knew what it was. I would literally have to stop hanging around certain people because I would feel so exhausted and almost stressed out after. 

This journey of mine is just starting, and spirit has prompted me to share things that I learn. So here are some tips and ideas to help you keep your own energy and to not take from others. 

You may find your own way to do this, but at least this is something you can start with. We all have good days and bad, and we don't want our good energy to get sucked out anymore than we want to take someone's negative energy in. 

You can also get what some people call "attachments" this doesn't mean you have an evil spirit following you around, but it could defiantly mean you have picked up the negative or dark energy from a low level spirit. 

I know being a medium this was something I stressed about in the beginning. But after realizing how easy it is to keep this energy from attaching itself to me, it was a worry that seemed to disappear. 

When I wake up in the morning as well as before I do any readings I always pray and visualize a bubble, a bubble that is made up of the white light and love that comes from Jesus. Now if don't believe in Jesus or are not sure what you believe in, then you can just visualize the white light and love. 

After I visualize being in this bubble of love and light I then ask that my angels surround me in a circle around the bubble made of white light and love. I always think of them as holding hands all around me. And yes you have angels too, we all have them, several of them actually. 

I then ask for them to protect this bubble and to not let anything except love and light enter. Now it is also important that not only do you do this but that you don't hold fear inside you, fear of having a dark spirit attaching itself to you. If you have nothing but love and trust then they won't have that attraction to attach themselves to you. 

This is how I have managed to give readings for someone who is depressed or having a lot of emotions. If I didn't do this I would leave these readings an emotional, exhausted mess! 

I also have a kind of cleansing I do before bed every night.  I try to do a night time mediation which I recommend, if you have never done this there are several guided meditations on YouTube you can find. 

When I do my meditation I like to visualize a stream of white light and love pouring into the top of my head. I then visualize that this light and love then proceeds down through my body, and limbs pushing out any darkness or negativity that I have picked up during the day. I visualize that it pushes the negative energy out of the bottom of my feet and that it then curves down around my bed and goes into the earth where it can be recycled. 

I do this so that every night I can feel like I am going to bed filled with nothing but love. At the end of this I always feel like my body is full of this bright beautiful light and that there is not even a dark speck left inside me. 

After a lot of practice you will be able to do this for your home, your work space, your friends, family, honestly anything that you hold dear, or that is a sacred place for you. I now put a bubble around my home and my family everyday and I cleanse it every night. 

You won't believe how much this will start to help you when you make it apart of your daily routine. I was at one point someone who would have read this and and brushed it off while rolling my eyes lol. But your mind is a powerful thing, and if you start to do this, you will everyday notice how the negative self talk, and the anxiety and stress of everyday life starts to get a little bit less. 

Everyone has their struggles, life is hard for all of us. But the ability we have to turn the negativity around is an amazing gift, a gift that we all have and just need help to tap into it. It's kind of like in my past post I made the comment about being in a dark room and spent the majority of my life searching for the light switch. Once you find the switch and turn that light on, things will only get better and you will start to really appreciate life. 

If I can get to where I am right now with all of the pain, and devistation I have had in my life with this disease, then I truly believe anyone can get there. Yes life is still going to be hard, and at times it is still going to feel hopeless. But I promise if you start to open up this gift that is inside of you, you will feel like your life has changed. 

They say we use only a certain percentage of our brain, this doesn't mean that God didn't give us access to all of it, it means that we choose to only use a small portion. I think we all have the gift of clairvoency, the gift of healing, or even the gift to connect to the other side, and hopefully I can help give you the tools to open your gift. 

Thank you for following me on this journey, may the love and light always surround you. 

God bless

Beginning my spiritual journey

I have always had a strong connection to God, and have always been very intuitive. I look back now and realize that I have had this gift my entire life, I just didn't know nor did I understand what was going on. 

I remember always feeling a presence, seeing things out of the corner of my eye, thinking that every house I was in had ghosts, and I always seemed to know what to say when someone was having a hard time.

People used to say "I was a good therapist" but now that I have connected the dots and accepted this gift, I know that I am more than just intuitive. I know now that it wasn't me being a good therapist, but it was spirit connecting with me and helping me to guide others. 

This journey of mine started a little over a year and a half ago (2014). My health is not good and had started to decline rapidly, I was faced with a crossing point: the hardest decision of my life and the most devastating up to date.

I knew that even though I had gone to college and I had worked my way up to a career that I loved so much, a career that was taking off and had just hit its peak, heck I had the job I had always wanted, the challenges I wanted, and finally the money I wanted and needed to help support my family. 

Unfortunately one thing always stood in my way, my body. No matter what mind and soul wanted to do, my body always had other plans. It had gotten to the point where I would put all of my energy into my job, and would come home drained, in pain, and just plain moody and mean. I would crash hard when I would get home, and it would take the entire weekend for me to rest and recover so that I could do it all over again the next week.  

My husband and kids didn't deserve this, and I didn't deserve this. My "intuition" had come to the rescue just like it always had, and I followed it just like I always had. One day I just decided I couldn't do it anymore and I walked away from my dream job, walked away from the money and security. 

I had no clue what the heck we would do but I knew it would be ok. My husband had just started a new job path maybe 4 months before and had started over with his wages. So now we were in a position where we had 1 low income, 2 car payments, a house payment, and twins. 

In spite of all of this, I had something telling me that it would be ok. I was a mess I'm not going to lie, I had fallen into a deep depression. Then one day something told me I just needed to start digging into all the questions I have had for my entire life about religion and spirituality. I literally was spending all day from the point of taking my kids to school until I went to bed reading, and watching YouTube videos. 

Then it just kind of hit me, literally I was told to start reading about religion and the bible. I was praying and I could feel that I was being told what to read and where to go. I honestly have no idea how things start for other Mediums. I know that a lot of what I have read says that they first connect to their spirit guides, and that is who talked and led them to where they are now. 

My guides were always there with me, they were my "intuition". But my first spiritual encounter, the most deep, and real encounter of my life was with Jesus. He spoke to me and I was finally able to understand why I had been fighting with the "religion" side for my entire life.

You see I live in Utah and this is a very religious state. I had tried off and on for my entire life to go to the LDS church and it never felt right, then I thought about being Catholic and that didn't seem like the path I was supposed to take either. 

The Jesus stepped in, I was finally ready to listen and to open that side of me. The side I had been fighting against for my entire life. It all made sense to me now, like a light had finally been turned on in a dark room, a dark room where I for the majority of my life couldn't find the switch to turn it on. Jesus literally led me to the bible, but he had also made sure that I knew that things had changed, and the "rules" had changed after he died and sacrificed for us. 

I now knew thanks to his guidance, that religion was man made, and that the true "church" was in Christ himself. After this experience I had thought of myself as this born again Christian. Then God, once again had more in store for me than what I new or expected. 

Just as I had thought I had finally figured it all out, then my Clairvoyence and Mediumship started to really surface. This made me face something new once again. You see Christians don't believe in mediums, in fact they think seeing and talking to spirits on the other side is not of God but is "witchcraft" and of the "devil".  

So now here I am thinking I have found my path, then these things start to happen, and I start to communicate with spirit and I am wondering if I am channeling "the devil", or am I just scared because of what people have told me to believe in. You see even though I had realized that religion was man made I was still following the words of men to an extent, so again what do I do? Where do I go from here? 

Once again I turned to prayer, and to Jesus, and I got online and I started to search for "Christian Mediums". I did find a few but not many and most of what I found was preaching about how it was not of God but instead was deceiving spirits that are really from satan. 

At this point none of that really mattered, because Jesus had again been there when I needed him. And I new that this was a gift, a sacred gift that I shouldn't question. A gift that I have always had, but just had not opened all the way. And I knew that I was meant to help people. I was meant to help guide, and heal.

I decided at this point to just dive right in, go big or go home! That's how I have always been so why change now. I told my mom, my step father, my husband, and my best friend first. And of course they were supportive and open but I think they still had doubt, doubt they would never tell me about because of the love and respect the have for me.

I had then made a decision that I was going to read for all of them. Now when you read for someone you know, you then start to doubt yourself. When loved ones from the other side come through you wonder if it is in your head, and if the reason you are able to read so accurately is because you know them so well. 

The readings with my step father and my husband kind of put my doubt aside. I never knew a lot about my step fathers child hood or past before he married my mom, and my husband had things he had never shared with me. During these readings I was told so many things by spirit that I could have never known. Both my father and husband were very emotional, and felt such love, and closure. 

This just motivated me more, so I opened myself up to receiving msgs for anyone. This is where things started to take off for me. I am in a Facebook group for the actor Charlie Hunnam, lol yes I know I have a weak spot but that is a entire different story. Now you need to understand that this group is huge! And when I say huge I mean world wide and over 50,000 members. 

I had a couple girls that I was chatting with back and forth on the page but never in a private msg, and I honestly didn't even know what state or country they lived in. Then all the sudden I had spirit come in and lead me to a couple of these girls. They were very open and things went better than I ever could have imagined. 

So now as of this week I have opened a secret FB group for me to do readings and to share my journey. Yes it is a "secret" group as I am not quiet ready to fully come out with this. I have thought long and hard about who I would trust to add to this group, so I sent out some private msgs to some of my friends that I knew would love me either way. I think the total was 6 people, the rest of the people added had come from the ladies that I had read for. 

Word of mouth has been huge for me, and I am so unbelievably grateful. I am not fully ready to "come out" of the closet at this moment but I am slowly working on it. I did my first readings in my home today, and for the first time since I quit my job I feel like I am doing what I am meant to do. 

I no longer feel lost and without a purpose. Before all this all started to happen I had felt like I had lost everything about me. My purpose in life was to be a nurse, or so I thought. A big lesson that I have learned through this experience is that no matter what you think your purpose in this life is, God always has a bigger plan. And if he pulls something away from you, even though it may hurt and devastate you, he always has a reason, and he always knows what is best for us. 

I now know what I am supposed to do, and I am not going to question this gift that God has given me. I know that I am supposed to connect with the other side, and not for the spirits sake, because trust me they are living it up over there lol. The reason I am to connect to them is for us here on earth, whether it's just a message saying that they are with us, closure from losing them, and most importantly the opportunity for us to let go of any guilt that is holding us back. 

They don't want us to suffer or to be sad, they want us to be happy and to have closure. I am hoping that I will continue to find the courage to "come out" to everyone. I know that a lot people will be skeptical, and may even think I am crazy. But I know that I am doing what the Lord wants me to do, and I have so much peace with that. I feel so much love and so much joy, and I can't wait to see where this journey takes me.

Let the love and light of Christ always surround you. 

God Bless
