Once I was in the truck and i sensed and saw with my mind’s eye a large young man sitting next to me. I knew who he had to be as his reading was scheduled in a day or two. I blurted out: golly you’re a large man aren’t you. I suppose that wasn’t too polite in retrospect.

And another time in my car I felt a hand on my shoulder. I want too frightened as I sensed immediately who it was. He gave me the message to call his wife- I said OK I would when I got home, but he was adamant: call her NOW. So I pulled over and called her cell.She was in a bad way in a hospital in DC and needed to be reminded of a family friend physician who would come and be her advocate. OH, did I mention her husband had been a Doctor as well?

Most recently – again, in my truck I was driving and I was not alone. I knew who this was even though I had not done a reading nor had seen a photo of this mid life veteran who had recently ended his own life. I was friends with his sister and had every intention of helping the family in any way I could. But this gentleman was angry and testing me, saying things like: you think you can help!?!, He was fairly aggressive with me and I had to suggest his anger at me was inappropriate as I was not going to accept it into my energy field. I could understand how he was testing me to see if I was “good enough” for his family. He has since apologized for his aggression and is healing well with other veterans in the world of spirit.

The one deceased person I was, in retrospect, alarmed to “see” was a man in overalls up near a house I was visiting with a friend to see a horse. I had assumed this was the husband of the this woman, however I could not make out any features on face. For several days after I kept saying to everyone, I don’t feel like myself, I can’t find myself…as it turned out this was a disincarnate “ghost” who had invaded my energy field like a parasite, in other words, a possession where he claimed my life force to use for his own. My husband in meditation cleared me but what a humbling experience. I know possession is rare, spiritual pollution is not rare. We can carry the influence of trauma in our bodies, the echo of thought forms linked to abuse, and other entities who attach when our energy field is eroded through the use of drugs or any other addiction. I feel the most for veterans who are sent to places in the world where atrocities are committed, they can’t help but be influenced spiritually and mentally by such low vibrations. Spiritual hygiene is helpful, a spiritual practice can make us more inhospitable to unwanted spiritual pollution.

So imagine the heartbreak of dropping off a most precious being and learning she had died in your absence.

I was understandably nervous before the reading. I had done readings for pre verbal persons before but normally some ancestor or loved one comes from spirit to help with the communication.

In this reading I only received one message and I was terribly reluctant to convey it.

At the urging of the mother, who was on the phone with me, I said: this is what I hear- I will be back, I am coming back to you.

The mother said this is what she heard when she held her dead baby in the chapel of the hospital, and that is all she needed from me was the validation of the message her angel daughter had given her.

I am Facebook friends with this mother and I am having particular joy watching the little boy she has now grow and develop. I believe he may well be the daughter crossed gender, but also he may be channeling his sister from spirit.

The phenomena of channeling the deceased first happened to me with my own mother. I was at her house and all of a sudden my eyesight improved so tremendously it was like cinematography – all the colors were vivid, the sounds of the birds were heightened- it was like my sight, smell and hearing were ramped up times a thousand…

I’m not sure when I realized my mother was using my senses to experience her home place- but that was the feeling I got. Since then I am able to validate other’s experience of their senses being used by loved ones even if briefly as it is an unforgettable experience. I also believe animals can step aside and allow others to enter. I was once on a horse and all of a sudden I felt a horse who had been my beloved home bred partner. I felt Sparkle under me, not the horse I was riding. I have also seen this in dogs who step aside and let other prior dogs have the chance to experience physical once again.

But over the years this old soul (Nichole) has taught us much from her vantage point in spirit. I had worked with her mother for a year or so and one day Nichole said to me: I’m tired of you, get my mother out here with me, I know you can do this. So I traveled to the city where the mother lived and I guided her in the same visualization techniques I use to go into trance,

Not only was the experiment successful but I was honored to witness it. And the family all now has access to Nichole mentally.

I can now lead other parents to experience their child in spirit, what I call my interactive meditations. It does seem like imagination to my living clients, but that is what it also feels like to ME, I have simply learned to deeply trust what is happening in my mind and not question it.

Both Nicole and Zack have helped me with other teen deaths in readings,

I was asked by a woman some years back what happened to her son. He was missing and presumed dead, but a small corner of her mind held the hope that he was alive somehow and somewhere and perhaps didn’t remember who he had been.

What a huge responsibility for me. So I called on both Nicole and Zach and we had a “meeting” in spirit, OK so now imagine for a second you are introducing two amazing young people to each other and neither one is in physical but you are!

Anyway, they did work with me to find the young man who had drowned in a large water complex, whose body was long gone in decay but reported to his mother how he was grateful his body had dissolved into the natural world he loved so much. And I was not nearly as reluctant to extend this message to his mother having the support of my two dear friends in spirit, Zach and Nicole.

Zach was an old soul who died of an accidental overdose after nearly a decade of being clean.

I work with many who experienced accidental end-of-life events due to drug overdoses. Because I know there are no rules and no judgement I understand completely it is not what transpired but what is possible moving on into meaningful experience that matters, not the cause of anyone’s death. There is only continuation of experience.

Zach became a close friend even though I had never met him when he was alive. He became devoted to helping other people who were forced out of body by substances. He had been clean for so long helping other people suffering addiction that it was completely logical for him to choose this work in soul rescue in spirit.

We have to grasp how self destructive thoughts are prevalent and overwhelming within the minds of many who die of an overdose- the pattern of their thoughts is confused at best and distant from any concept of their true nature.

Zach was already a friend in spirit when a young horse of mine had to be euthanized from insulin resistance- the inability of the cells of my horse to take up nutrient. Zach greeted my beloved horse and they joined in spirit. So now Zach had not only his deceased golden retriever with him but also a lovely dark gray sweet horse to help convince those who died of overdose he was able to help them. Often when immersed in such negativity the deceased will not even open to the possibility of any friendship or help, but Zach had his ways of doing soul rescue gaining the attention and trust of troubled souls.

There are armies of souls in spirit willing and able to help anyone transitioning. Often, for example, veterans will aid veterans, teenagers will aid other teens and so on. There is always help for anyone who if open to help.

The post Helping out appeared first on How Spirit Works.

I was honored to have the opportunity to work with several family members who died in a small airplane crash. The grandparents, one of their children and his spouse and their two daughters also died within the same event. I had a deeper more personal connection to this family so I felt compelled to reach out to these people.

The grandmother was the most healed and well adjusted of all the family members when I opened in meditation. She greeted me in an house which was vivid although it no longer existed in physical. I met with different members of the family in different rooms of this house.
The most heartbreaking death was of one of the daughters, a talented musician who managed to crawl from the small plane but was covered with fuel and burned to death, while the rest of the family asphyxiated before their physical death, She was having a huge problem rectifying the pain of her death in her mind. So I worked with her in prayer and with her music for several months.

In one of the subsequent “meetings” the grandmother had a beautiful meal laid out in the dining room of this lovely home, many dishes, but what I remember the most was the coconut cake with lemon filling- a true masterpiece! Unfortunately I can only “taste” in the same way the deceased can, in the idea of the sensation of flavor, It made me long however for the amazing cakes my mother used to make.

I have a few clients who have asked me to work with different members of their family in the world of spirit. As I meet them one by one I love the perspectives on my living client from the loving vantage point of these individuals. I acquire a feeling of the person my living client is from the connections he/she had with her deceased loved ones. I feel as if I know their ancestors and many of my living clients come into deep friendship with me.

I respect anonymity with my living clients and none of the stories I share are without the permission of my living clients.

The post A family affair appeared first on How Spirit Works.

I guarantee my work as there are times when the deceased do not want to speak with me even if they are aware of my presence. One deceased person said she thought I must be the devil! Another time I was reading for a woman in Australia and I had such vivid visuals I KNEW I had her husband.. however he was with his first wife in the world of spirit and the second wife was not pleased, so I returned her money as I just don’t need the negative karma.

Once, when I was asked to work with a twin in the world of spirit with her sister, I was a bit concerned because of the closeness of these two women. I wanted to make sure I was not reading from my living client.

When her sister in spirit said she had left writing on paper with violets also on the paper, the living sister protested, She has cleaned out her sister’s apartment and sorted through all her things. And there was nothing with violets.

A few months after the reading I received an email- the living sister found an old guest book her sister had written in years before when she was visiting, and you guessed it, the page had violets. I particularly love the work when it is something even the living do not know.

I was once asked to work with a person in Europe who had never spoken English, and while I was skeptical I could read the deceased, I thought I’d give it a try. My living clients were looking for a certain old bible which had a lot of the family history recorded in it. The deceased person was able to show me the piece of furniture the book was in and why they had overlooked it as it was hidden in a binder. I later heard they did indeed find the family bible.

I will often see and describe items when I ask the deceased to show me things I could not know. One never knows the significance of, say, a leather jacket or a cranberry glass necklace. But when my clients do find these items they are generous enough to let me know I was receiving accurately.

When I see things I could not have gleaned from the living client it is a validation to me I am not picking up information from my living clients.

There are some readings where my living client, my deceased client and I laugh a lot. This story comes to you thanks to Carrie, who gave me the green light to tell you all about her reading which was just a few weeks ago.

Carrie lives in West Virginia and I was contacting her aunt, Helen, who transitioned in 2003. Aunt Helen was not much older than Carrie, they were more like sisters growing up.

The first thing out of Aunt Helen’s mouth addressing me was: “You’re (a psychic) hitting below the Bible belt down here.” It took me a heartbeat to figure out she was joking, I’m not used to the readings opening with a joke

Then Aunt Helen showed me her fluffing up a maroon throw pillow. Not sure where this was going, I asked Carrie if there were maroon pillows in the room she was in. She replied that, yes, there were some on the couch she was sitting on. So then I knew that Aunt Helen was in Carrie’s house, in that room with her.

The meditation was moving really fast, and I struggled a bit to keep up with Aunt Helen. I started describing to Carrie the room she was sitting in. I saw that her TV was directly in front of her and window/s on either side of it. The chair that Aunt Helen was sitting in was to the left across the room.

When I do remote viewing, in a reading I am probably seeing through the mind’s eye of the deceased, or reading their mind visually. Or, my mental vehicle, that travels to do the readings, might be perceiving the environment the deceased is within.

Quite frankly, I’m not sure exactly how this works. With some deceased clients it is relatively easy for me to see where they are and with others I don’t see the scenery as vividly. Sometimes the deceased are in my space seeming to sit right in front of me! I’m quite sure these deceased are with me in my home and communication is incredibly easy for me.

But, getting back to Aunt Helen…I apologized to Carrie if this remote viewing was creeping her out. Carrie replied: “no problem, it takes a lot to creep me out.”Then Helen showed me that Carrie was still in her pajamas and her robe.

To which Cathy replied: “now I am getting creeped out, that is exactly what my husband said when he left then house this morning.”

Aunt Helen chimed in: “you might have gotten dressed up for me!”

That is how this rather raucous reading began, and even though it did touch on the serious topics that Carrie wanted to discuss, Helen’s light, her personality, her energy was a delight to work with.

Helen had transitioned at a fairly young age, and even though she did not want to be deceased she was making the most of her experience. Carrie has a great guide in her aunt. Carrie was so in the spirit of this reading, of course she misses her aunt every day, but this was much more of a joyful reunion a foretelling of when they are together in the same level of experience after Carrie transitions.
