My Experience Through Mediumship Development

   I am sure many of you wonder how is possible that some people are able to talk, sense or hear the dead. Even more, how can they possible be able to pass messages so meaningful to the ones still living with no rational or logical explanation of how they got it.

Like you, I have these questions as well have many doubts and skepticism about it. However, my journey through Cartomancy somehow led me to see all this talking to spirits, as a limitless pool of possibilities. 

The first time I saw a spirit was when I was about 9 years old. I saw it just like a real person, can hear her breathing and how she put weight on the bed as she sat down to observed me. There is more details of this story that I am not going to discuss here—however that was the beginning of my journey through the spirit world.

Through the years, I had so many encounters as well stories that up to this day baffled me in many ways. While reading the cards, in few occasions I can hear them as well see them. My dilemma with spirits is that once I get to see them, I can’t pass the “aha’' moment and excitement. I just can’t  calm myself and ask these spirits “Who are you? Why you are here? What message you have and for whom?”

This led me to seek help among many of my mediums friends. I got ideas from them, of how they connect but never found it practical. I always looked for some classes and books that can help me. Finally, after all these years—I was lead to a class of Mediumship development near by the town from where I live at. I signed for it and up I went.

I didn’t have any expectations and went with open mind. Hoping that I can finally control the fear and anxiety to it and believe me—I succeed.

There was 17 of us taking this class, only two brave man, the rest were women. I saw clearly all path of life among them as well their open mind and wonder about develop themselves through this type of classes. There was no gypsy like or hippies—there were just regular people. The teacher was indeed an energetic woman, with the skill to teach but more over with the kindness to handle all our emotions through this class. The first thing this teacher did was thrown us into the mediumship with no parachute. Luckily, we all survived the first round—it was indeed a warm up for what came next through the hours.

Its hard to explain how I felt spirit on that day, but what the class gave me was the confidence to trust the unseen and just spit out what comes to mind.  Seems to me through all the readings I got that day, that my father’s family showed up. From my grandfather, grandmother, my father’s baby sister that died many years ago. However, only one Army soldier showed up for me—to asked for forgiveness from me. The readings I gave to others really blown my mind, here I am thinking that I just spoke my imagination and the one hearing it—wonders how I got such details with such accuracy.

In one of the readings I gave, I was blindfold as part of the exercise—in which we don’t see the person for whom we reading for. I have to rely first on my empathic skills and later on, I have to trust the visions I saw. This woman was very grateful for the reading I gave her as no other medium was ever able to contact her dead mother as I did. It was indeed mind blowing!

The last exercise was about to be stage medium—gosh you talking about being under real pressure with this one!

I gave two readings, to two different women. To one woman the reading didn’t do any sense but to the other it did. I remember that when I looked the room around seeking for whom to read, this lady got my attention. I asked in my mind what can I possibly say to this woman? Right on that moment, I saw the vision of this old lady, touching her heart and as she did, I felt a metal object on my heart ticking like a clock. I heard clearly this woman with lots of excitement to tell this lady that “Don’t worry dear, still ticking, everything will be alright.”

I felt apprehended about saying this to this woman across the class room, but I said it. Her face of wonder made me felt like I most imagined the vision, that I might be wrong as she didn’t gave me confirmation if any I said made sense to her. The class was over, we all were exchanging business cards and contacts—when the lady I gave the message about “still ticking” came to me. What she said really made me felt, that there is life after dead after all—that I didn’t imagine such.

She said to me, that both of her grandmothers were recipients of pacemakers later on their lives before passing. She also stated that recently, she got a pacemakers itself and she fears that it might not working properly—for which she constantly ask her doctor and spirits if she will be alright. She stated that when I said those words “Don’t worry dear, still ticking, everything will be alright” was indeed a confirmation for her and her question, giving her peace within.

I must say this class to me, was just the beginning of a new adventure. Two days after that class, I woke up by a pass by spirit named Joe. He just showed up and said hello and that his name was Joe. I asked what you want, he just said—nothing, I just stop to say hello. Right after, I felt his energy leaving my bedroom—I see now that the door of spirit world is wide open. It’s up to me to explore and that is what I will do.

Love and Light Everyone!

The Man in My Dreams

Many people dreamed about somebody known or unknown in their dreams. In most dream interpretations, to dream about people its just a view of one’s self. However, I wonder how true this can be.

Through my life’s journey, I have dreamed about people that later on I meet in real life—giving me that sense of déjà vu, wondering why this person looks so familiar? or wondering if I dreamed about this person or this one visited me in astral travel.

 Spirits of our loves one, they always find ways to communicate with us, either through giving us suggestions and signs, when mostly needed. However, they often comes in our dreams.

Spirits can give us messages of support and love as well warnings—but in few cases they try to tell us about what its to come or to ask us to finish what they couldn't while alive. I often felt the presence of someone very significant in my life, through suggestions or signs. His suggestions often popped in my head with the urgency of his typical personality. However, in this particular occasion—he wanted me to write a letter to give closure for someone else. Which for weeks, I kept ignoring such request.

That particular night, I woke up  feeling that someone was talking to me all night long but couldn't recall much of the dream—all I have in my mind was to write that letter I keep procrastinate for. Without further delays, I got off the bed that morning of Sunday June 29, 2014 around 5:00 am I sat to wrote that letter he wanted me for.

Once I finished the letter and emailed, I felt like a heavy weight was lifted and the air became more lighter. However if left me wonder what was the entire dream about.

That noon, I went to a workshop about Dream Yoga, in which teach recalling dreams through the vibration sounds of Hebrew words. It was an intense class, but through it I managed to recall the entire dream of early morning. In this dream, I saw the spirit of my love one getting near the bed and saying clearly “Write the letter because its needed for everything that needs to happen to be in place and for everyone to move on with their lives as they should.” Right after he said this words on the dream, I felt transport to a beach with a wide shore where there was an amusement park. I vividly smell the ocean air, heard the seagull flying by, felt the wet sand through my toes as I walked through it. 

I was not alone in this dream, there was a man by my right side holding my hand. This man was not known to me. In this dream I  saw that we both were happy, like celebrating a moment. I couldn't see clearly the face of the man, as the sun was behind his head blinding most of his features. However, I saw that he was taller than me, in shape, older, with dark and grey hair almost at shoulder length, facial hair and large smile under his mustache. Suddenly, my eyes went towards our holding hands and saw clearly that the man was wearing a gold wedding band.

I snapped out of the deep meditation where I was recalling this dream and understood the urgency of my love one’s spirit in writing the letter as well the vision of this man on the beach. It was about total closure with everyone as well  I felt it showed me, who might be my next and last husband. I am writing about this, despite it happened back in June, because I believe its important and that I will meet this man of my dreams within a couple of years. I want to come back to this blog and see how accurate this dream can become. Until then, I will continue with life as it comes—one day at the time.

Many Blessings for you all ~

Spirit Encounter: Meeting a Schoolmate

May 27th, 2010

         Yesterday afternoon, I lay down in my bed, since for some reason my stomach was not setting right, I might slept for about 2.5 hours and woke up with a mega headache from hell. All the right side of my head was hurting and up to the neck and back of the head and my ring in the ears was worst. Honestly there was no reason for such headache. Don't know what was that about, it took me a while to find balance and move around the house. I continued doing my chores around the house until bed time, around 10:45pm

        While on bed, I attempt to meditate but Dixie my cat, kept meowing around the bed, to the point to make me got up. However, it was nothing to it, she only wanted the closet door to be open for her to investigate it, still don't know why, it most be a cat’s thing LOL.

Finally made it to bed, the ringing in my ears was getting louder. I grounded myself and visualized around me my usual protection cocoon, started to clear my chakras and open my heart to connect with the grid. I talked first with Shiva my totem animal, then with my main guide, a Mayan indian I call Seth, then with Patricia and I even saw the oriental guy dressing like a Buddhist in red rope who I called Lee. I told them, that I wanted to be ease into getting to see, hear and talk to spirits like it was during my younger years before I shot down the gift; that is time for me to re-learn to do so, in order to help them and help the living as well, but that I wanted Seth to be who control who comes by.

I might doze off during this meditation and somehow I found myself walking into my living room. There I found this man, in his late thirties, medium built, with olive skin and yet black hair, seating in my loveseat. He looked very familiar like someone I met in school long time ago. However, I find out that he was the spirit of a schoolmate of mine original from Dominic Republic, who I met during high school back in 1979-80, while living in Lawrence, Massachusetts.

He was very kind, timid and smiling and I sat beside him in the loveseat of my living room. He said to me among everything he said, that to see spirit I don't have to tense up my body in bed to force out of body experience, that with just the intent and thought was enough. He said fewer things that I wish to remember now.

The funny thing was that during our whole conversation, I felt someone behind me at all times listening. Didn't felt bad but like it was part of the encounter, so I am assuming was main spirit guide Seth, to monitor this spirit encounter.

I do remember turning towards this schoolmate that if I am not wrong he said his name was Dionisio or Ernesto.  I asked him if it was true that he had a crush on me while we were in school. He felt kind of embarrassed about it and smile without looking at me and said, “Yes I did, but you never paid attention to me and I knew you didn't like me that way anyway”. I smiled at him and told him that we can still be good friends as we always were. He looked at me and smiled while his eyes water with tears. I felt he needed someone familiar to talk to and that is why he have been hanging around among the living. From what I learned from him, he died in USA during a car accident in his 30s and he have being among the living without crossing over, as he said he is not ready for it yet.  After this, I don't remember leaving the living room, just woke up in the morning with my right arm in a lot of pain and my eyes looks like I didn't have any sleep how so ever, like I have been talking all night long.

We never choose the spirit we want to talk to, they choose us for any reasons beyond our comprehension.

It's funny how this came about, since I have a talk prior with my guides.  Don't know why it happened to be the spirit of an old school mate of mine, maybe because he doesn't look like he crossed over and needed help. I didn't see in him, the inner light I see in crossed over spirits, he just looked like a normal human being.  Honestly, I was expecting to see family, but the truth is that we can’t choose who we see in the other side of the veil. It’s obvious that spirits like living people, come to us for reasons beyond our expectations or comprehension, to learn from us or for us to learn from them.

Now the question for me to figure out is, “It this was a vivid dream as many of mine or it happened for real?... I know I am doubting the reality of it, but being aware of going to bed wanting this and happening, might be a trick of the mind itself, who knows….

I only sense that this might the first encounter of many….time will tell! :)

Hey, You Have The Wrong House!

April 8th, 2010

        

                I have been feeling a strong painful pressure over my crown chakra for the past two days, like someone stabbing a knife through the top of my head. At the same time my ears were ringing more than usual. I felt that it was time to retreat and found some balance and grounding through meditation, thinking that this might be the problem of my sensations.

I went to bed around 9:00PM and started to meditate by relaxing my body and focus in the visualization I got in mind. While doing this my ears were ringing louder like blowing smoke through it. In the first time my higher self’s voice was calming down by saying “Let it be, is that you are getting ready to received spirit communication”.

After hearing this, I calmed myself and stood there just listening, waiting for the communication, but while waiting my ears started to ring louder again more stronger than before. However, this time I saw myself in a dark room but with windows all around and the outside was very well lighted. I saw this mid thirties white male wondering outside my house while peeking through the windows. I can see him clearly, he had wave blonde and brown hair a little over his ears in length and he was wearing a neon blue T-shirt. He was curious and smiling but it was something about the grin on his  face that didn’t felt right about him.

He kept wondering around the windows when he came cross the main door, he was about to open my door but instead he put his head through the window to see. My first reaction to it, was to yelled at him “Hey, you have the wrong house, you need to go now!” I snapped out of this meditation and realized that I either were half sleep having a vivid dream or it was something beyond my comprehension at this moment. All I can figure out at this moment was that the dark house  where I was sitting at, was my protection shell and that the individual trying to enter was an Earthbound spirit, I will never know…….but something I have learn through spirituality…if the energy doesn’t feel good, be prepare to get rid of it quick.

Spirits Asking for Attention, In the Most Odd Ways

       Last night, before I did my spiritual work.. I visualized a barrier around me, at first I did it with bricks.. making a box all around me with bricks, but then to enhanced it.. LOL.. I put stainless metal around it, reinforced with heavy duty rivets LOL I am laughing because I thought it was crazy, but the darn thing somehow works..

       Here I was inside my metal/brick box kind of dark and alone inside, I started to open my chakras, clean them and get some healing. As I was doing it, I keep saying "Only my spirit guides, and beings of light should be inside my box.. wondered or dark spirits should stay away". I did what I meant to do and kept the barrier asking spirit guides to help me to keep it up all night so I can have some sleep.


LOL I was unease pass midnight, I kept waking up by the sound of voices outside of my box..don't know if they were talking about me or my box but the "spirit whispering" was constant. I checked my box and saw it intact.. no holes or anything and kept my prayers on my beings of light. Fall to sleep again, when I heard someone in top of my box, banging the hell out of it, and with me inside.. can you imagine being inside a metal box and someone decided to bang the hell out of it? yeah.. its a bad yu-yu for real LOL

I looked up and saw this black man in his late 40s, wearing clothing from the 1930s or 40s, kind of reminded me of the cotton pickers of the era around here in Mississippi. He was wearing a white shirt, beige ripped pants and a dark tan hat. He kept banging, but didn't say anything, I guessed because I was ignoring him.. thinking that I need my sleep.. I place my request to spirit again and the banging stopped. I turned on my side and when felt asleep again.. from under my box, I heard a man's screaming his heart out on my left ear.. that sat me down on the bed, for real LOL

This time while inside my box I said "I want to sleep and recover from all this past week, please keep these wondered souls away from me so I can sleep"... I went back to sleep but the whispered continue until I didn't heard it any more..

Yeap, the visualization of the box works, but I guess I have to create some acoustic padding, in case someone else come and bang the hell out of it... LOL I am laughing now.. but I was kind of pissed off last night about this LOL .. I guess the new gift is "hearing spirits" all night long LOL .. darn!... can I have a balance among these gifts? LOL

Love ya'll :)

Spirits shows themselves in different ways, I guess..

February 23, 2010

  Yes, its getting weird as days pass indeed.. today I went to bed around noon, since I have to work my night shift later on today. Somehow, I must have an out of body experience, I remember wanting to go to the bathroom since my bladder was about to burst.

I went to the bathroom or dreamed that I did. The joke is that I washed my face when I felt a presence walking behind me and sitting on the toilet seat. I didn't dare to look up right of way, kind of ignore it but it was seating right besides me. I heard this young man possible around 17, saying.. "Don't fake it, I know you can see me, you are safe with me" so I moved my neck to my left and start seeing this guy from the bottom up.. didn't saw his shoes but he was wearing tight pants in vertical stripes of navy blue and white. Followed by a dark almost black short coat or jacket, kind of reminded me of Beetlejuice character.

As I keep my eyes up looking at him, saw that his hair was yet black parted in the middle but the freaky thing about it, was that his right side of the head the hair was shaved and designed as corn rolls in black man, mostly resemble the shape of a brain from the side, while the left side was long and straight black hair passing his shoulders.

 

It gets interesting when I saw his face, he looks like a Mediterranean male, olive skin, almost diamond shape face with a dark black mustache.. kind of reminded me of Vladimir the impaler from Hungary. I thought "Darn, do I need a cross, wood sticks and Holy water for this fellow? WTF!  LOL 

 

 

 

This sucker just looked at me and in a fabulous gay fashion ( no offense) he said  "I brought something for you" and put this necklace made out of small beads white and black in color and wrapped around my left hand. I started to wonder what it is with jewelry and spirits?.. this is the second time..

Anyway, I said to him, "You know, this is too girly, you might as well give it to my daughter she likes this kind of stuffs" He said then "I always bring presents to your daughter, she has tons of it in the drawers inside the closet, I brought this one for you".  I smiled to him and accept the present and felt suck back like in a vacuum and woke up in my bed.

Looked at my hand but nothing was there, so I figured it should be some symbols involved on this starting from this freaky fellow's outfit, to what he gave and said".. don't know.. but its getting weird as day pass for real .. I guess cosmic changes and symptoms of ascension can make you see weird things indeed LOL

 

Is this was a dream or this was real?.. I start to question this myself     LOL..

Spirit Encounter: The man in the three-piece suit

February 22th, 2010


       I went to bed around 10:00pm or so and was some how restless without knowing of why. I was sleepy at first, after having a deep profound meditation with my friend Linda. I turn off the lights and somehow it was a cold night, so I was totally under the covers head to toes.

       Close to midnight, I felt someone standing beside my bed right by the lamp but what was very unusual was the brightness inside the bedroom, because I know I turn off the lights before went to bed. I peek under the covers thinking that might be hubby turning on the lights, but to my surprise is was not him. It was an older man hovering beside my bed, almost 3 feet above the floor. He was wearing a three-piece suit in different shades of blue, from navy to grey blue and in different textures of fabric almost like Rayon fabric because it shined.


Did not see his face and neither his feet, just his torso and by his pod belly; I assumed it was an older man. I could not take my eyes from his waist, since instead of a clock pocket with chain starting from his center button of his best to the side pocket; he had a military dog tag. I stared at it and somehow it got very close and all I remember seeing was the last four numbers on the dog tag. They either was 4256 or 4656, not quite sure now.

By the clothing of the man, I felt him of British origins and either from late 1800 or early 1900. He could not be any of my Puerto Rican relatives, because all the ones I know that are dead were deep in to the polyester era when it comes to dress up. Gosh, I hate those days LOL Anyway,I felt that this man’s spirit might be a relative of someone that I might know among my friends.

I was too tired and sleepy to deal or investigate this fellow, so I ignored him and called my spirit guides to set boundaries for me that I needed my sleep. Right after, the presence disappeared in thin air as it came alone with the cigar smell that he brought. I do not felt this fellow as being an earthbound spirit, he was too bright in light and his light came from inside of him. I did not felt threaten or scared by him in anyway either I was at peace. However, I think his visit was with a purpose of leaving me to figure it out.
