Ask A Psychic

Image by permission of Linda Allen Wooten.

As a psychic and a psychic medium I get asked a lot of questions.  Periodically, I work some of those questions into my blog, as they can help others.

Our first question comes from Helen Taft.  How can you become more in tune with the spirit realm?  First and foremost, one of the biggest keys to do meditation.  It's the number one tool in hearing, seeing and feeling answers, whether those answers are from your spirit guides, guardian angels, loved ones that have crossed over, or answers from God to your prayers.  Second, you must learn to trust what you are getting in signs.  As you get signs, acknowledge them, and don't use your logical mind to explain them away.

April Hurley wants to know why some really good people have such long and hurtful roads and mountains to climb? Is it karma or their past?  There are many factors that play into reasons why anyone has hard roads and difficult situations to deal with.  Sometimes it would seem that some have it harder than others, and there are those that it appears to have a cake walk.  Before we incarnate on earth, we choose certain life lessons to learn, we even make agreements with other souls who will participate in those lessons.  There are karmic issues that come up for people, and past "punishments" it would seem.  The thing we must all recognize is that when things are going smoothly, we don't learn a lot of from that.  We do, however, have more of tendency to take a harder look at things when they become difficult.  When a person starts to awaken spiritually, and realize that difficult times means there's a life lesson involved, they then start to realize sooner and even learn the lessons sooner.  But there are equally as many people who never awaken spiritually, and that does not take away the life lessons, it just means you're not realizing why you're going through certain things, and may or may not learn the lesson. If the lesson is not learned, it will continue to come up over and over again.

What's the difference between spirit guides and guardian angels is the question for Susan Morea.  You might think there is no difference, but in reality there is a difference.  Guardian angels have never incarnated as a human on earth, but they are tasked with guiding and protecting those on earth.  Spirit guides can have incarnated on earth, and some are so evolved that they have not incarnated in a very long time.  Remember, time is a linear thing in this third dimension, it doesn't apply in the spirit realm.

Catherine Petit has provided a picture with many spirits behind her friend.

How can we contact our spirit guides, and how do you know it's not our mind just playing tricks on us, asks Sharon Bradford Englerth.  Contact with our spirit guides is for the most part done, or at least started by doing meditations.  You ask to meet your spirit guides, and you learn to see, hear, and feel their presence.  Once you've gained a trust of how they feel, what they sound like to you, and even how you see them, you then realize that it's not your mind.  The mind playing tricks is often mistaken for true guidance, and therefore the guidance is missed out on. After practice of asking questions and getting answers, and learning to trust those answers is something that comes with time.

Robin M. Plante wants to know if we are reunited with loved ones, especially children that pass before the adults.  Some people worry that if we reincarnate that we might miss a loved one, or a child that has gone to heaven before we get there. I've been shown over and over again that there is "part" of us that always remains in heaven.  If you understand the Holy Trinity, God the father, the son, and the holy spirit, it is much like this.  There is a higher-self that always remains in heaven.  When a "son", or portion that incarnates on earth, goes back to heaven, that person/personality, love and all the things that go with that is there to be with and reunited with the loved ones that come to heaven later.  You will know them, and recognize them, as they come to you as the person you knew them to be on earth.

As associated with the death of a person, Michael Cox, would like to know if it is common to "know" the moment that someone passes from earth.  This is a very common thing for people that have emotional connections and bonds. For instance, you hear of a mother being on the east coast, and her child is half way across the country, and she's awakened in the middle of the night thinking of her child, and finds out that the child was in a horrific accident.  It's not only common to know when someone passes, but when some event happens.  The bonds are like cords running between the people, and when something happens to a person that you have that kind of strong connection to, you do feel it, hear it, or even see it.

Barbara Spano Costante has shared with a picture with what appears to be a spirit holding a hand.

Street lights going off and then coming back on, is this a spirit doing this, and is it common?  Lori Robinson Ellis, if you can factor out that the street light is not shorting, then yes, it could be a spirit.  Spirits are able to use their energy to manipulate electrical things. I've even heard and experienced them turning on appliance, tvs, radios, things of that nature.  Early in my psychic awareness I turned a light on in the bathroom of my home, when I went to go out and turn the light off, it wouldn't go off.  I stood there dumbfounded for a few minutes, and listened, and was told that my gifts would be coming in stronger over the next few months.  So as to your question is it common, the resounding answer to that is yes.

Mary Sirakoulis wants to know if she has gifts, of a psychic nature?  I like to explain to people the way it has been explained to me through my spirit guides.  When God said he created man in his image, he didn't mean in the body, a physical likeness.  He meant with a spiritual likeness, and ability. In other words, when he said, let there be light, and there was light.  We have the same type of ability.  This power has been suppressed for thousands of years.  Why you might wonder?  Well, if all people know they have the ability to manifest and create what they want in their lives then they can't be controlled, and manipulated.  In recent times there have been people coming out and explaining this particular gift, calling it The Secret, The Law of Attraction, are good examples.  We can not only manifest things in our lives, but we have the ability to listen for guidance. You know, like when you hear that little voice that says, it's going to rain today, even though the sun is shining and the weather man says sun all day.  Then it rains.  Or you hear, don't take this road, it's going to be backed up, and you take it anyway, and the road is backed up.  When you start listening to that little voice, it gets louder.  Mary, you have gifts, you need to embrace them as your own, and become in tune with your guides, and you will be surprised and excited about what they show you.

Along the same line, Kim Pelletier, wants to know if there is a way to develop the skills.  Yes, there is.  Kim as I mentioned earlier, meditation is the key.  Now, whether you call it psychic, intuitive, psychic medium, I don't' particular like the term "fortune teller", too many negative connotations with that one.  It's been called seer and prophet.  The terms are changed with the times, but you get the idea.  Another really good thing to do is sit in a development circle or group, and to take workshops.  Depending on what your local area is, you can find workshops.  Sometimes it's fun to travel and take a whole weekend workshop.  If you have a group of friends, you create  development circle, which can be a lot of fun as well.  But never forget the your best tool is meditation.

Anniece Brown Andress has an orb, or spirit streaking through her forehead, thank you for sharing this.

Do we really have guardian angels? And if we do, is it only one, or many?  And are they family members that have passed from earth, inquires Suzette Dubois.  You've asked so many good ones here, Suzette.  Yes, we have guardian angels.  The way I explain this is, each of us has a team.  We have guardian angels, spirit guides, and loved ones that have passed.  Now, depending on what is going on in your life as to which one steps up for you.  They always try to guide us and show us the right direction to go in.  But we live in a free will zone, and they are forbidden from taking that away from us.  In order to "help" us with a situation, we have to ask them. Where they are allowed to step in without permission is if you are going to be in some event that causes death, and you have a purpose and the death would be untimely to meeting that purpose, they go out of their way to make sure that doesn't happen.  Loved ones can help us, either by us calling on them, or them seeing something that is going on that you are struggling with, and they try to let you know "which door to choose".  If a person is determined to make bad choices, they won't interfere with that.  Sometimes the way to learn the lesson is to actually step in it to know that it really is a big pile.  So, envision that you have an entire team working for and with you, and don't hesitate to call on them for help, guidance, and assistance, that's after all what they are there for.

Jody Pibil has shared that there have two years sober, and recovery, would like to know what grammy feels about addiction and recovery.  First, congratulations on your two years, and thank you for sharing it with us.  Grammy is proud of you.  Now, let me speak in general about addiction and recovery.  These can be attached to life lessons to any type of addiction.  In life there seem to be some addictions that are more acceptable than others.  Each of us has something that we can be addicted to, some addictions do more harm than others.  There are those that are psychological and therefore doing psychological damage.  And of course, there are the ones that are physically addicting as well as psychological.  Alcohol, substances, cigarettes, just to name a few.  No matter what the addiction, you need to take a look at it, ask yourself, what am I supposed to be learning from this. How can I change this? There is nothing wrong with needing help, asking for support, both spiritual support from your team (as discussed in the previous paragraph), or from people that are here on earth.  But make sure when you get people to help and support, that you are getting the right ones.  Ones that enable you to keep going with the addiction aren't necessarily the ones that can help you recover.  Learn the life lesson and then it will make recovery easier.

And I'd like to thank Cyndi Koerner for our closing picture of a beautiful sunset.

When someone passes can they see our entire lives, or just from the time of their passing? Kathy McFarland Milligan has asked a very good question.  Of course, people that pass go through their own life review, and so that encompasses people they've interacted with.  They can feel or know, so to speak, what it feels like to stand in the other person's shoes in situations.  Instead of having a front linear view of what has gone on, they are able to see a 360 degree view from all angles, and how each person felt in the situations.  They gain perspective that they didn't have when they were on earth.  They also have the ability to see things that are currently going on in their loved ones lives, and even the things that will show up in the future.  If they think they can be of some sort of help in those things, they will try to guide in the right direction, but without interfering with free-will.  And events that people believe their loved ones in heaven are missing, they are not missing, they can see them, and oftentimes show up and give signs that they are there.

As always, I've enjoyed answering your questions, as they can pertain to many people.  If you are interested in having a psychic reading, or a psychic medium reading, get in touch.  You can look at my website, www.heavencallingearth.com, email pam@heavencallingearth.com; or call to set up an appointment.  Until next time, I send you love and light.

Death and a Holiday That Commemorate The Dead

     Memorial Day Weekend, it's another three day weekend.  What is this holiday all about?  Is it the beginning of beach weekends, pool openings, and the beginning of celebrating warm weather, the official start of barbecue season?  No, that is not what it's all about, although those things are part of the weekend.  Let's start with a little history given by Wikipedia:

     "Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering the men and women who died while serving in the country's armed forces.^[1] The holiday, which is celebrated every year on the last Monday of May,^[2] was formerly known as Decoration Day and originated after the American Civil War to commemorate the Union and Confederate soldiers who died in the war. By the 20th century, Memorial Day had been extended to honor all Americans who have died while in the military service.^[1] It typically marks the start of the summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.

Many people visit cemeteries and memorials, particularly to honor those who have died in military service. Many volunteers place an American flag on each grave in national cemeteries.

Annual Decoration Days for particular cemeteries are held on a Sunday in late spring or early summer in some rural areas of the American South, notably in the mountains. In cases involving a family graveyard where remote ancestors as well as those who were deceased more recently are buried, this may take on the character of an extended family reunion to which some people travel hundreds of miles. People gather on the designated day and put flowers on graves and renew contacts with kinfolk and others. There often is a religious service and a "dinner on the ground," the traditional term for apotluck meal in which people used to spread the dishes out on sheets or tablecloths on the grass. It is believed that this practice began before the American Civil War and thus may reflect the real origin of the "memorial day" idea.^[3]"

     Now, with the history portion out of the way, what does Memorial Day mean in 2014?  It is still a day that we commemorate those who have given their lives for the liberties that we enjoy in the United States of America.  How these people came to lose their lives is not he issue, but it's a hot button for some people.  No one joins the military to support war, they do that out of a sense of patriotism.  Patriotism that used to be a very altruistic reason.  For the love of our country, for the love of the American flag, pride in our country.  Something that has sorely been distorted and lost in recent years.  We should not lose the pride in our country because we have politicians that are crooked or cheating the system, or using the people.  This should make us upset and want to change things, but don't hate the country because of the people that have been elected to run it.  What we need to do is change the people who are in office and that are making people unhappy and not following the will of the people.  It's time for us to stand united again and change things that need to be changed.  

     With that said, let's not forget that the real reason for this particular three day weekend, and holiday is to commemorate and send love and admiration for the people who lost their lives supporting this country, serving their country, being patriotic.  Connect with those loved ones, send them love.

  Intuitively, I've been shown that the reason these people did what they did and serve their country is because they loved the country and believed in what they were doing.  I've connected with many through the years of doing psychic medium readings, and often military will come through showing themselves in their dress uniform, and it is with pride that they show me that uniform.  It's something that in their lifetime they were very proud of, and should be.  In other words, they did what they did for the right reasons.  And we should celebrate their lives for the right reasons as well.  None of us has to support war, but we should always support those willing to stand up for their beliefs and support our country.

   I hope you all had a wonderful Memorial Day Weekend.  Love and Light to each of you.  If you'd like to connect with a loved one, set up a psychic medium reading, go to www.heavencallingearth.com, or email pam@heavencallingearth.com.

Meditation, The Answer to Your Prayers.

     As we move into March and get closer to the spring and warm weather, I know everyone is looking forward it.  Most, if not, all of us are over the winter.  We seem to have been blasted really well with the snow, sleet and ice.  Now it's time to melt not only the cold weather, but our hearts and listen for the answers we are seeking.

    

     Often I am asked, how can I get my own answers?  Or, how do I get in tune with my spirit guides?  The key to this is always meditation.  Many people attempt meditation, but then quit out of frustration and an inability to quiet the mind and listen to that internal guidance.  I understand this frustration and the throwing up of the hands.  I'm brought back to a time in early adult life when I was asked by a gentleman, one I had a great deal of admiration and respect for, "How do you know when God answers your prayers?"  This question was a little surprising to me, but it was also an eye-opener to me.  The thought immediately running through my head was, "What do you mean, how do you know when God answers your prayers?  I hear him just like I hear you."  Then the voice in my head said, "Wow, God picked me!  I hear and see things other people don't hear."  Now, for some they consider it to be a curse, for me, I've always viewed it as a blessing.  Again, that feeling of "Wow, God picked me."  But then further, what did God pick me for?  To get the answers to that question I knew I would have to listen closely.  

     There are those that can go into a meditation and journey without a moment of thought.  Then there are those who I will call, "wheel spinners".  What is a wheel spinner?  My definition of that is a person that when they try go to that place of quiet, calm, and relaxation in order to listen for their guidance, or their answers, they immediately start thinking of all the things they need to do.  This list can range anywhere from buying groceries, fixing meals, doing laundry, going shopping for something they need for the home.  It's the place in our mind where we've stored our to-do list.  In meditation we are not trying to access our to-do list, we are trying to access our spirit guides, and our higher-self, if you will.  

     First, I would like to say that prayer and meditation go hand in hand.  One is useless without the other.  Prayer is the method by which we let our needs and desires be known.  We are asking or requesting, that can be for something material, something emotional, an answer that seems to elude us, a need for a loved one to be healed, guidance on how to proceed in a desired goal.  The list can go on and on, it's endless the things that we pray for.  But make no mistake about it, prayer is just as essential as meditation.  For without making the request, or asking the questions there is no need for answers.  The answers come through the meditation.  

     So, now we proceed with going into a meditation.  Our environment for meditation is just as important.  You wouldn't or shouldn't meditate in a car while driving, or in a subway while riding the train.  These are examples of places that you need to be completely aware of what's going on around you at any given time.  Though there have been times in everyone's life when they have ended up in a place, and couldn't remember how the trip.  My opinion is that you should have a place to meditate that is calm and serene, you feel totally comfortable.  When getting ready to meditate I like to light a few candle,  and burn some incense.  It adds to the peacefulness of what I'm about to do.  This is totally up to each individual.  If you are a person who i s a wheel spinner, I'm sure you can understand why you wouldn't do a meditation in the middle of a coffee shop.

     Now to decide can I listen to metaphysical or new age music and get to where I want to go.  When a person meditates they are attempting to reach an alpha state in their mind.  This i s a state of your body, more or less, being asleep, and your mind is fully awake and aware.  After doing meditation for a period of time, you might actually feel the vibration in your body.  Some people hear their answers, and some actually see images, similar to having a dream, but in a completely awake and aware state of mind.  This is the type of meditation that everyone seeks to have.  If you don't get there on your first attempt, do not be discouraged.  It sometimes take a "wheel-spinner" up to two weeks to get there.  Do not fret, because with continued practice even the biggest "wheel-spinner" can accomplish.  Normally what I suggest to people who have a hard time quieting their minds is to start with a guided meditation, whether that is in a group setting, or by purchasing a CD that has a guided meditation on it.  Usually, you can get a CD like that for less than $20.  There are many guided meditations on the market.  Some of the people who have made guided meditations are James Van Praagh, Dr. Brian Weiss, John Edward, and that's just to name a few.  I have had great experiences with Dr. Weiss's CDs.  His are the ones that I recommend most often to my friends and clients.  You will find that once you have mastered the guided meditation, which basically guides you through the steps of relaxation, and journeying in your meditation, then you can move onto an instrumental piece to work with.  The reason the guided meditation works so well, is because instead of going right to your to-do place, you go to that alpha state by focusing on the guide's instructions.  

   When you get to the point where you wish to use instrumental pieces, then you will find pieces like Anugama's Shamanic Dreams II to be very nice to work with.  There are so many, and you need only do a little practice to find the pieces that you resonate with.  I suggest that you try several different artists before settling on the one that works best for you.  Enya, Enigma, Steven Halpern all have very nice pieces that have helped a great many people.  Find what works the best for you and use it.  

     As you meditate your answers can come to you through hearing what is being said to you, or even having psychic visions.  The more practice your meditation the better you will become at it.  As with anything, practice, practice, practice.  

     Remember, pray and make your requests, and then meditate to get your answers.  When you have reached a place of true connection, you know when the answers come you can trust them.  When you start trusting them and following that guidance you get more and more guidance and it be more and more clear.

    It is my hope that you find the answers you are seeking and that continued reading and following of this blog helps you find the love and light you are looking for.  Until we blog again, keep reaching for the stars and searching for your answers.  Don't forget to follow the blog and look me up on Facebook, Linkedin and Twitter.  You can visit me at www.heavencallingearth.com.  

    

Eternal Life, Reincarnation and Past Lives

     Welcome to 2014!  This year has so many great things to behold.  As we look forward to this new year ahead of us, I've been asked to look backwards and talk a bit about past lives, reincarnation and eternal life.  Let me start off by saying, in no way do I claim to an expert on this subject.  Really, I believe I'm in the infant stages of learning about it all.  As many of you are, I'm hungry for knowledge on the subject.    I believe that when we seek knowledge about these things our best friend can be reading.  Choose as many authors as you can, read as much as you can, take hold of what resonates with you and throw the rest back.

    

     My firm belief is that Life on Earth, is "school".  We are here to learn lessons, repay karmic lessons, and experience as much as we possibly can.  This has been my take on the subject for a long while now.  First, I believe very strongly that we do have eternal life.  The eternal life that is referenced in the Bible along with other books on the subject.  Part of the way we have eternal life is that we incarnate on earth, and we live through a lifetime, we finish that lifetime and we then "die" or "passover" into the spirit/heavenly realm.  Birth here is death in that realm, and death here is birth into that one, hence we are eternal.  A quote that I read a long time ago really resonated with me on that subject, it was "We are not human beings having a spiritual experience, but we are spiritual beings having a human experience."  It lends a great definition for what and who we really are.  To understand things we have to use terms or words that we can understand in this dimension.  And there are so many things that there are no words to make us fully understand the other dimensions and realms that exist.  Many of you have probably heard of the Akashic Records.  The Akashic Records are the records for each soul and being and their lifetimes, their experiences, their karma.  It could also be called the The Book of Life, as it is referenced in the Bible.  

     A rather simplistic way that I've been shown how we do things in the spirit realm/heavenly dimension is that when we are planning an earthly lifetime, if you will, we sit down with what I will call guidance counselors, or an elders to go over what lessons we want to learn in the up coming lifetime.  Just like in high school, there are mandatory lessons/classes, and there are electives.  Patience is a mandatory lesson in every lifetime, and it comes up multiple times.  Some of the lessons include tolerance, service, and humility.  This is just to name a few.  I'm sure everyone is aware that the way we learn patience is to put in a position of having to wait for something.  When that lesson comes up we have a tendency to say, "hey, wait, I already learned that lesson. Can you hurry up and give me what I want now?"  Obviously, we haven't learned it as well as we may think we have.    How about tolerance, now this is one that can be learned in so many different ways.  You may come in being part of a group that hasn't been given that tolerance, it can be done through race, sexual orientation, disability, economic level.  There's no way I could possibly list all the ways that tolerance can come up in life lessons.  Service to others is another lesson.  You may learn it through having a child that has a disability, or a relative that gets a terminal illness, or by serving your country.  I believe you get the general idea here of how these things come up.  Just like school, if you don't get the lesson, pass it so to speak, you are going to repeat it.

    When you have something that keeps coming up, and you can't figure out why there is definitely a life lesson attached to it.  A good example of this is when a person keeps getting into abusive relationships.  Let's say there's a woman and she is with a guy who is an abuser, whether it's verbal abuse, emotional abuse, or physical abuse, there are a multitude of lessons that can be involved here.  I actually had a client that was in an abusive relationship for a number of years.  After a big altercation where she was choked she ended the relationship.  She was moving along very nicely and had, in fact, met a man who was wonderful to her.  For Valentine's he bought her an iPod and loaded it with love songs.  He treated like a true princess.  Shortly after Valentine's Day she ended the relationship and went back to the abuser.  In her mind and part of her being she was associating being loved with being abused.  The new guy wasn't abusing her, so therefore he couldn't really love her.  This association could have started anywhere.  It could have been from the relationship her parents had, or the one she had with her parents, it could have even come from a past lifetime.  In any event, her lesson here was to learn that abuse does not equal love.  Until she could break that definition and association in her mind then she would continue to look for love in abusive relationships.    This is a primary reason that when we have something that is going wrong in our life we need to look closely at it and determine what the lesson is, learn it, and be able to move onto the next one, and to happier times.

     These types of lessons bring us up to "soul mates".  I can't tell you the number of times I've had people ask me about when they will meet their "soul mate", or they think they have and it's just not working out the way they want it to.  We do not have just one "soul mate".  From everything I've been shown, and learned from others as well, is that we travel in soul groups.    In these soul groups we agree to learn certain lessons together.  Before we go to the romantic end of that, lets explore other parts of those soul agreements.  For instance, you have a drunk driver and he/she hits a car full of teenagers and kills them, or disables or maims them.  While the agreement is not in the forefront of the conscious mind, there was an agreement to go through this lesson or lessons for all involved.  There's also the possibility of it being attached to a karmic repayment.  If in a past life you were an abuser, you may come into your next life being on the other side of the abuse.  If you were the abuser this time you may be the abused.  

     Another area of question is the fact that souls do not have a sex.  In any given lifetime we choose what sex we will be.  Also the relationships can change around in lifetimes.  You may be the mother in one lifetime, a brother or sister in another or a friend.  A husband and wife in one lifetime maybe nothing more than friends in another.  When there has been a very strong connection when you come into contact in the current lifetime you will feel a very strong magnetic pull toward each other.  That magnetic pull may draw you close, and it can be one sided.  It's good to be mindful of that.  There are so many things that come into play, it would have been beneficial if we came with an instruction manuel.  But I guess that's the whole point, to learn the lessons.  As our souls get older, we may remember, or it's considered to be awakening.  It's not a matter of finding out who we are, but remembering who we are.  

      There are many authors on this subject.  Dr. Brian Weiss is one I would consider an expert on the subject.  He has written many books on the subject, offers guided meditation, or self hypnosis  CDs, as well as conducting workshops on the matter.  His first book is Many Masters Many Lives.  A few of the others books are Through Time Into Healing, Same Soul Different Body, Love is Eternal.  A meditation CD that I recommend frequently to my clients is Mirrors In Time.   Ian Stephenson has written Life Before Life, and Children Who Remember Previous Lives.  I also enjoyed Tom Shroder's book Old Souls.  If you are looking other books just do a search of past lives, reincarnation and the like, you will come up with an endless list.  Do your own research and enjoy the study.  Take what resonates with you and toss the rest back.  Most of all enter in with an open mind and heart.

     I've been asked that as a psychic medium am I able to see past lives for a person.  There are times when it will come up in a psychic reading, or a psychic medium reading.  When it comes up it is because the knowledge gained from it can help you currently.  If you are really interested in searching out knowledge of your past lives, you can do a past life regression.  Doing a regression can be very beneficial in helping learn and remember who you really are.

     When we remember we are here to learn life lessons, repay karma, and experience as much as we possibly can it gives a whole new perspective on eternal life, past lives, and soul mates.  Let us all remember and realize that the biggest lesson of all that we are here to learn is Unconditional Love.  Until next time, I send you Universal Love and Light.  

Psychic Reading for Spiritual Beings Having a Human Experience

     I hope you are enjoying this holiday season, no matter what the holiday is that you are celebrate.  It has been requested again that I answer a few questions about psychics, psychic mediums, and the information that we get.  First, I'd like to say that I'm of the belief that none of us has all the answers.  And as psychics and psychic mediums we, too, are on the same journey as everyone else.  We are all spiritual beings having a human experience.  Where we are on that journey varies from person to person.  There are people that realize and are awakened to the fact that we are spiritual beings having  human experience, and there are others that are still firmly planted in the concept that we are human beings having a spiritual experience.  And which side of that camp you land on has direct impact on what experiences you have, and how you interpret those experiences.
     At times some think one experience is  more important than another.  This is point of contention among many.  My personal philosophy on this is, while a certain experience that I have may be more important to me than another experience that I have, but none of my experiences are more important to another person than the ones they have.  The reason for that is that while we are collectively on a soul journey, we are also individually on a our soul journey.  In other words, the sum total of my experiences impact my soul journey, as do the sum total of another person's experience impact theirs.  It's the end result of those things that make us who we are, and help us to grow as spiritual beings.  The individuals who are still under the thought process that we are human beings having a spiritual experience are just as important as the other way around.  For those individuals have not yet reached the awakening that this human experience is only one aspect of who and what we are.  If one hasn't reached that point yet, it's difficult to wrap your mind around that concept.
    A thought that recently came to the forefront of my thinking is, what if, like in the James Cameron movie, Avatar, there are multiple dimensions, and we know that there are, and we can create an Avatar, if you will, to travel into that other dimension.  Now, give some thought to this is the dimension in which in our bodies this is the Avatar.  Our human body is the avatar, and the experiences we have are the creation of our thoughts.  In other words, we are creating this reality by our thoughts, and where the majority of the humans spend their time thinking, worrying about, and creating has manifested the situations we find ourselves in today.  Wouldn't that mean we have the ability to change the bad things, turn them into good things.  We can create abundance for every living being on the planet, in the universe, in this dimension.  There really is no shortage of anything, there really is no illness.  We create them by our thought energy.  We spend time creating lack, we spend time creating anger, hatred, war.  The majority of people now have at some point heard about Power of Positive Thinking, by Dr. Norman Vincent Peale; The Secret, by Rhonda Byrne, The Law of Attraction, by Esther and Jerry Hicks; and let's not leave out Conversations with God, by Neale Donald Walsh.  All of these books talk about what we can create by our thoughts.  Thoughts become words, words are energy.  Words have Power.  We create our own realities by our thoughts and our words.
     One might question if individuals in control know this, individuals with political power, world power, why then would they not encourage people to think about the abundance, think about love, peace, health, and healing?  Well, the short answer to that is it is not to their benefit for societies to know that they have this kind of power.  And or people to come together in these types of meditations and prayers knowing that they can create all that is desired and all the tis needed.  The individuals in that kind of control and power are usually driven by greed, or someone else's greed.  You cannot control large groups of people if those people know they can create their own happiness and abundance without you.  You know longer have a need to be dependent on them for decisions that effect you.  The groups of people are not in fear of not having food, they're not in fear of being terrorized, or killed in their own lands.  It's a form of enslavement.  Enslavement to their thought process for their benefit.  As more of souls awaken to the fact that we are spiritual beings having a human experience and that we are creating that experience for our soul growth, it is a freeing from all of these kinds of enslavement.  That thinking alone is enslavement.  Isn't it time that more and more people wake up and break free of those bonds that keep us tied down by someone else's agenda.
     Recently I was asked when doing psychic readings, or psychic medium readings would the vast majority of people rather I tell them what they want to hear, or tell them what I do hear and see.  This varies with the individual having the reading.  While there are readers that will tell a client what they want to hear for fear that the person will be upset with them for telling them what they do hear and see, I am not one of those readers.  My belief is in this regard is that I am allowed to decide how I deliver the message, I am not at liberty to choose what messages I deliver.  Also, if something that may seem of a negative nature comes through to me to give to a client it is for one of two reasons, one because it is something that can be changed; i.e. I see a possible car accident or something of this nature, if that was inevitable and could not be changed they would not show it to me.  But let's say I'm getting the message that "Aunt Sallie" is ill with a terminal illness, and she's not gong to recover and there are things that need to be said and haven't been, then I'm shown that it's time to make sure all things have been addressed, to give the person the opportunity to say, I love you, I'm sorry, whatever they need to say, so there will be no regrets.  My longtime friend and radio host, Scott Cluthe, whom I've done radio with for years, introduces me on his show as someone who doesn't sugar coat things, he says I tell it like it is.  I do not deliver in a harsh or cruel manner, I don't believe that is the way it has to be done, but I deliver with loving compassion for whatever the individual may be living through at this time, and attempt to prepare them for what is to come.
     Another person asked me, if a parent dies and they have three children, can and does the parent choose to be around one of those children more than another.  From what I've been shown through the years, it is similar to talking to God, or calling on an angel for assistance, they can be omnipresent.   In our human experience we attempt to put those human limits on God, angels and our loved ones in the spirit realm, and they just don't belong in that realm.  We use our human minds to try and understand things that are not of the human worlds.  Words to describe the spirit realm and it's capabilities have not advanced to the level of what is possible in that dimension.  Our loved ones, just like angels and God can be present in multiple places at one time.  They can hear multiple things at once, and can do multiple things at once.  We are attempting to use limits imposed by the human aspect of things to describe and understand things that are not of the human element.
     As always, I hope that this entry finds you in good spirits, it helps you to understand one more piece of our spiritual puzzle.  I send you love and light, and ask  you to take the word impossible, and turn it into I AM POSSIBLE.  Know that anything you want, desire, dream is very Possible, you need only to believe it and start creating it.  If you wish to book an appointment send an email, or visit my website www.heavencallingearth.com  Join us on Facebook, twitter and linkedin.

Psychic Reading for Spiritual Beings Having a Human Experience

Are the TV shows about Psychics and Mediums Accurate?

  Hello again to all my loyal friends, and fans.  A subject that has come up a number of times in the last few months is about televisions shows involving psychics or psychic mediums.  I've been asked if the ways things are shown is real or is it all made up.   The main purposes of my blog is educate those interested about psychics, psychic mediums, and all things associated with psychic readings and psychic medium readings.

   My earliest memory of psychics being on TV was Miss Cleo and the Psychic Readers Network, and then there was Dione Warwick and the Psychic Friends Network.  I don't know what your opinion may have been of those infomercials, but mine certainly weren't of a positive nature. Both were commercials and infomercials about call-in lines for psychic predictions, and psychic readings.  Of course, there were many jokes and generalizations about psychics and the work that they do.  This was not a good foundation for psychic phone readings to be based on.

  We've come a long way since that time, in both education about psychics.  As I have written before, not all are good, not all are bad.  And since the timing of Psychic Readers Network and Psychic Friends Network, there have been several psychic mediums who have done television shows that has done as much good for the reputation of the work, as those first two did to damage it.  John Edward's show, Crossing Over, and then there was Beyond with James Van Praagh.  People were able to watch members of the audiences get readings from these two mediums and see how connecting with their loved ones worked.  Not only were the members of the audiences brought to tears, but television audiences wept as well, hoping to possibly to be able to make that connection with their own loved ones.  

  And then came the television series that were put on.  They were put on as entertainment, but my belief is that they also helped to educate people.  Keeping in mind that there is, of course, the "Hollywood" aspect of the show, and there is also a foundation, if you will, of truth in some of it.  And how much reality there was in the show depended on which show you might have been watching.  Let me start with Charmed, which was a show about three sisters who got their powers back after the death of their grandmother, "Grams."  Phoebe was the psychic sister, who was able to see things that were yet to come.  She had the gift of precognition, which means to see things before they happen.  The way in which her precognitive abilities were shown is by her touching someone or something and seeing the impending trouble.  Because the premise of the show was that the girls were always fighting against demons, Phoebe rarely saw good things coming in the future.  The act of touching something or someone and getting a premonition is the element that is not necessary.  I'm not saying that it is not possible, I'm saying it's not necessary.  Touching someone or something and getting information about the object or the person is called psychometry.  As the girls grew closer, their gifts grew as well.  Phoebe then received the gift of empathy.  Being an empath means feeling what another person feels.  Having this gift can be overwhelming, especially if you are unaware of having it,  and that in turn causes an inability to control it.  An example of how an empath picks up things from others is, an empath can be in a room full of people, everyone is happy and having a good time.  The next thing that happens is that another person walks into the room and she happens to be very angry, the energy in the room changes dramatically.  The empath will pick up on this and feel the anger raging in his or herself. I'm sure you have felt something similar to this in the past.  This is one of the ways that a psychic or medium gets information, either about the person who has died, or the person having the reading.  The psychic is able to differentiate what they are feeling is associated with the dead person, or the person having the session.  I'm not going to go into the gifts that Piper, or Prue had in this blog.  While they did have some gifts that psychics and mediums have, the vast majority of theirs were for show, literally.

  The next show I would like to talk about is Ghost Whisperer, with Jennifer Love Hewitt as Melinda Gordon.  Melinda was able to see, hear, and communicate with "ghosts" in the show.  In reality there are some souls that have not moved into the light because they have unfinished business.  Psychic Mediums are able to see, hear, and feel things from a soul that is communicating with them, so this is the part of the show that was real.  Again, the "Hollywood" aspect of this show is that number of times that this happens in one small town.  James Van Praagh was the Co-executive Producer on this show.  Having him on board certainly helped to keep this show closer to psychic mediums experience.

  Then we have the show Medium, which is based on the life of Allison Dubois.  Allison is another psychic medium.  In the show when a case needs to be solved Allison had a "dream" which gives her clues to lead to what happened.  Reality is that mediums do at times get information that can be helpful to law enforcement in solving a crime, or helping to find a missing person.  For the most part, mediums do not have dreams every night that are connected to their readings.  There are psychics and mediums who at times get information about things that either have happened, or are going to happen, and the information can be helpful to law enforcement.  Just as there are in all walks of life, there are law enforcement officers who believe in the gifts that psychics have, and are willing to use those tips to help solve a crime or find a missing person.  For many reasons, most of which are obvious, law enforcement will not come out and acknowledge that this is a practice that is used in their departments.  but psychics are used in situations similar to that of a confidential informant.

  All in all, the more recent television shows that have been based on, or feature a psychic or a psychic medium as based on some foundation of truth. In other words, some of the things that are portrayed are true and accurate, others are exaggerated for entertainment purposes.  And if you are thinking about having a reading you should decide what is the purpose for having a reading, if it is for entertainment purposes, you and a few of your friends are doing it just for a "hoot" as they say, then you can just pick any one you want, and "remember" you were doing it for fun, and keep it perspective.  If you are, however, doing it because you have lost a loved one, or you are experiencing a life situation that you need guidance in, then do your research first.  Talk to a friend who has spoken to one, search on-line and read as much as you can about the person you are going to make an appointment with.  Learn what the tell tale signs are of a scammer, Is Your Psychic Real or a Scam?  You can also visit a site that Bob Olson has created to help people find a good psychic or psychic medium, http://www.bestpsychicdirectory.com.  Seeing a psychic for fun is one thing, and seeing one for healing and help is completely different.  Make sure you select the right one for you.

  Until next time, Love and Light to you all.

When to Have a Reading

  To have a reading or not to have a reading.  Some are not sure if they want  a reading, or even if it will help.  Then there are those who would like to, but it goes against their religious beliefs, and they're not quite sure if they will end up in hell if they do.  Let me state outright, my purpose is not to put anyone's religion down.  We all have the right to believe what we choose, and should be able to do that without anyone judging it.  I would like to state that my personal belief is that all religions have a foundation in truth.  Not only do they all have a foundation in truth, but rooted in love, compassion and understanding.  Through years of man's interpretations those foundations have drastically changed.  It's kind of like reading a book, and telling someone what you think the author meant when he wrote it.  If you ask ten different people, you are likely to get different interpretations.  So, on the aspect as it applies to having a reading because of what your religious views are, I say, if it feels right to you, then have one.  I can assure you that there is no punishment for having a session.  You won't be arrested, no ads in the newspaper are taken out to let others know you have done it.

  Now, I would like to address timing of having a reading.  If you have lost a loved one, and you are hoping to connect with them there is no specific amount of time that must be waited out before you can have a session, or that you will be able to get through to them.  As for the timing on your end is another factor to be considered.  When someone passes people are in a great deal of pain from the loss, and very emotional.  This is normal and won't hinder the contact, but you may have a better experience if you wait a little bit until you have time to adjust per se.  Not that we ever adjust to being without someone we love and care about, but the emotions will calm down.  This is a very personal thing, and for each individual it may be different.  My opinion on this is to go when it feels right to you.  I have souls come through to me right after having left this dimension, before there has even been a memorial service.  Whether you decide to have a reading right after, or wait a period of time, a session with a good medium usually brings through some very comforting information.

  How about if you are going through a life situation, such as a financial situation, or the break up of a relationship, or you are having a medical issue?  Is this a good time to have a reading?  The answer to that question purely depends on whether or not you do your research and find a reputable genuine psychic to do the reading for you.  All too often people don't do enough research and end up having a session with a charlatan or a scammer.  When you are going through a situation like any of the ones I have mentioned, you are vulnerable.  The charlatan can smell it, and they will use it to their advantage.  They can end up doing more harm than good in these cases.  If you have gotten a referral from a friend, or you have researched, a reading can be very helpful.  Read my previous blog about signs that you are being scammed.  When you have a session with a reputable psychic, or psychic medium he or she can help you quite a bit.  But rest assured a genuine psychic, or psychic medium will never try to make you dependent on them.  They never tell you must return to them, or that you should buy some expensive item to get rid of whatever is going on.  A suggestion may be made about doing meditation, or attending a workshop.  Or you may even be referred to someone who does genuine healing work.

  All in all, whatever the reason for having a reading, be it to speak with a loved one who had died on the earthly plane, or any type of life situation, the most important aspect is doing your research, or get a good referral from someone you trust.  Psychic readings and or psychic medium readings are very helpful in many different ways to many people.  Only you know if the time is right for you.  There is no specific time that is better than another to have a reading.  The most important part is getting someone to do your reading that is working in the light, and only has your best interest at heart.
