What is in this for YOU?

When I take my time and stop for a little bit I reflect heavily on what I’m doing and what is in it for me. What am I gaining from giving away the information I’ve learned about Mediumship, Psychic gifts and all things “mystical?” Who is benefitting from this blog? Who am I really doing this for?

It’s a good question, one I’d like you to take a moment and ask yourself as well. I have been doing readings more and more steadily in the last few months and as a result my blog content has gone down, sorry about that. What has happened also though is I’m finding more and more people with gifts who need a place to start learning about them. Of course I direct them here and tell them to start reading from blog one and then think about how once they read through to the most current blog that they may be left hanging. I certainly don’t want to leave anyone hanging, especially if they are finding this site useful and easy to understand. With that said I will be picking up some new things to write about in regards to developing your own gifts. Now with that I ask “Who are you developing your gifts for and why?”

I started developing my own gifts pretty much out of instinct. I didn’t really have a motive other than I felt it needed to happen. Once I started to really dive in and understand who I was and how each of my own gifts worked I wanted to know more, not only did I want to know more but I wanted to test myself as myouruch as possible.

I started doing readings for friends and close family and it was a rush to say the least, when I would speak on behalf of a deceased person to the living. Describing an old apartment or fond memory they had, telling the living that the departed family member was alright and at peace became comforting to me. In the moment it was anyway, there was certainly a strain at home and there always will be. That’s with anything we dedicate time to, I want you to remember that for anything you apply yourself to. At first my wife thought it was a novelty or something I probably wouldn’t pursue too heavily, I have many interests and they all fizzle out and come back in waves.

Mediumship however never stopped being on my mind, it grew, like a small sapling into what is now a maturing tree. I consumed books and books, videos and podcasts and anything I could find for free on the Internet. Then something happened. I hit a wall. I grew as far as I felt I could. I kept reading the same things over and over, now what?

I decided I would take my perspective and knowledge and write a blog. Then the blog needed exposure so I started an Instagram and Facebook page for it. Then time went on, people booked me for readings and gave me glowing reviews, passed my cards along to family and friends. My Gift that was my passion grew into a small business. Well known people in the business of Psychics and Mediums have taken notice of me, even well known Paranormal Investigators ask my opinion on some of their cases. To say I’m humbled by all of that would be an understatement.

I recently became so overwhelmed with people asking for readings that I asked my wife to be the schedule keeper, a big step for me since I had been managing it myself for so long. Not only a big step for me though, a big one for her as well. Shellie, my wife takes care of our 2 young children, the house, the bills, the cooking and laundry and manages me now. My gift has turned into another job for someone else, thank goodness she took the position because I was drowning in schedule hell.

I write the blog for you. I want you to develop your gifts, whatever they may be. I want you to be as good as you can be with as much free information as you can get. That’s what I wanted for myself as well. I have that and so much more. Now, ask yourself “What is in this for YOU?”

What are you going to do with your gift once you have developed it into something that you can do on demand? Are you going to keep it to yourself? Are you going to tell friends? Will you make a business out of it? That’s all up to you. I just think about how I started doing this with no intention of being where I am and wonder what others are doing with the gift they have.

I’ll leave this session with this:

Do not have fear of the unknown. Embrace your Gifts, be positive and do this for you!

Blowing Smoke (sage)

Every time that I open up a new blog or go to a Facebook page where somebody is affected by something they think is a negative entity someone always suggests that they burn Sage to rid themselves of the being. It seems that it is the trend since all of the paranormal shows have shown it on television.

Have you ever come across this exact type of post before? If you are like me and read as much paranormal media as you can then I’m sure you have. Where did this idea come from that every entity is negative and should be gotten rid of with sage? I know that saging or smudging a house or area is an ancient ritual. However not every entity, ghost or whatever you want to call them is bad and needs to be gotten rid of.

I myself have used white sage many times to help calm the atmosphere of a location that was encountering negative paranormal happenings. However I have not found that this ritual will forever get rid of a spirit that does want to be there. Are all of these shows blowing smoke? What is the real answer for moving on a spirit that we no longer want in our space?

Let’s take a look at why we would not want a spirit or entity in our space. For one reason it may be very disruptive to our everyday lives, such as banging knocking or being all-around frightening which we would call a haunting. Maybe the spirit is making you feel uncomfortable in other ways, such as making you feel watched or depressed and or anxious. These are great reasons to want to have a spirit evacuate your area. Before we get into good ways to have the spirit exit your life let’s talk about why they may be there in the first place.

Through many investigations and speaking with many different Spirits I have found that the things they do that frighten us or haunt us are often ways that they try to get our attention. Many times it just feels frightening to us because the events that are occurring around us are not expected. If a spirit were to yell in your ear right now you would probably jump out of your skin, but maybe they are screaming in your ear because they have been trying for months to get your attention for help. How can you help them? Well first you have to learn to listen or find somebody who knows how to listen to them. Obviously this day in age you can go on the internet and look for your local psychic medium or a paranormal group to help you out. Hopefully if you have been reading my blog then you have figured out how to listen to them for yourselves.

Unlike an unwanted pests or bug infestation in your home these paranormal beings have a want or a need and should be listened to. If after you have done a thorough investigation it leads you to believe that this is a negative entity then you should contact the proper people to help you move them on. I think it is in everyone’s best interest however to take the time to find out what they want, more than likely they are good or at least malevolent and are just looking for help.

Don’t let negative media and television guide your thoughts about the Paranormal. It is very important for you to come to conclusions yourself, and if you cannot come to the conclusion again it is important to find a reputable team or person that can help you.

Next time you see a post about someone being afraid in their home or area and someone suggest they Sage it to rid the space of a ghost make sure you direct them here and tell them it is important to listen to what the entity has to say.

I hope you have gained a little inside from this and realize that we should not be blowing smoke at each other.
