Quote from a Psychic

I asked Carolyn Munson, "What do you do at the Psychic Fair?"

Carolyn answered:

"It's up to the client. If I am something they need in their lives, I work with that. When they see blocks, I turn their ideas around into positive affirmations. If they come in and say, ‘What am I doing here? Am I doing the right thing?' I ask them, ‘What are you doing?' If they say, ‘I can't do that,' I ask, ‘Why?'

"I help with affirmations, changing a negative thought to a positive one. Helping their way of thinking; helping them process and clear the path they want to move towards. That is my focus.

"It's funny how things process as we sit and talk. Things make sense to the person who comes to the table. Basically, they figure it out themselves.

"The cards assist. They are a guide. I use regular card decks. Then, I end readings with an angel card deck. The whole reading comes together with the angel deck.

"I am the instrument. I channel and pick up things that people need to hear. I talk to people until they figure out what they want to do."

An Interesting Life

Time moves forward and so do our lives. We work, we raise families, we relax. As life flows, we can choose to integrate the known and the unknown. Being open to the possibility that there is more to life than what we see, brings a richness to our experience.

I recently wrote about the soul contemplating coming into a body. A huge, expansive soul has to compress itself to enter a baby's body. It has to agree to go through infancy and childhood, not the easiest of things. Interesting to mull over, don't you think?

After death, the soul rises from the body and re-expands into the infinite realm.

To me, life is more interesting when I ponder these possibilities, than when I take a straightforward, un-ambivalent approach.

Sometimes, people tell me extraordinary stories which open my perception. Other times, I have my own experiences.

I hear from people who have traveled to places for the first time, yet known where old buildings were located.

People tell me about souls who appear to them and bring messages. Sometimes these are souls of the departed. Other times, it is the soul of a living person who is having a partial out-of-body experience to convey a message.

People tell me of rainbows mysteriously appearing when visiting the home of a deceased loved one.

They tell me they heard a message, but don't understand how they heard it.

They tell me about dreams which came true.

Karreen Martin shows me photos and videos of colorful orbs moving through her home.

Mediums bring messages from my deceased parents.

At the time of death, people have seen spirits escort their loved one to the other side. Other people have seen the soul rise as a mist from the body. I am not talking about psychics. I am talking about ordinary people who are having extraordinary experiences.

My life is richer for hearing these real-life recollections.

In general, I have an analytical mind and I am somewhat skeptical. That's fine. You may also feel that way. Then, something happens. Something we can't explain. We wonder how, or why, it happened. Was it our imagination? A door cracks open in our ability to accept that there might be more to life than could be picked up by our five natural senses.

We can examine these odd incidents and choose whether or not to accept them as real. It is this questioning, this openness, which enriches our lives.

This is not about "faith." This is about experience.

I haven't asked for a while, but if you have a supernatural story to share, I would love to hear it. If you've experienced something too personal to share with most people, this is a safe place to share your story. You can e-mail it to me at gail@MyPsychicSearch.com. It can be just a few sentences.

If I receive several stories, I'll share them anonymously as a blog post.

The occurrence which you feel is unique to you, may actually be something other people have experienced which they are reluctant to share because they fear they will be judged. This is true for me too. When I share my mother's death as something other than "Oh what a tragedy!" I fear I will be judged as uncaring. Other people don't share those kinds of stories. However, I believe that some people have similar, unspoken, experiences. Let's shed a little light on how life really works.

Thanks in advance for anything you care to share.

"When souls come into this world, they are anxious. They have to take the magnificence of who they are and condense it down to fit into this tiny little baby. Sometimes they don't enter the tiny little baby until the moment of birth, or two weeks before, or a month before. Generally, they don't join that baby until very close to birth.

"You may ask, ‘What about the baby that is born at 23 weeks?' Yes, the soul is in there. They have joined the body. It is an experience for the soul, the parents, the doctor, the grandparents, and everybody who comes in contact with, or hears about, that baby coming early.

"Coming to this third dimensional reality, the soul has to condense itself, has to quiet itself, has to prepare to be non-communicative. They can't speak. How do they get their diaper changed? They holler. They learn that very quickly."

Growing Pains

Since January, I have had a lengthening list of odd body issues:

My right shoulder hurts.
My left knee hurts.
My left ear itches.
My body buzzes.

In February, my mother died.

Now, I have a head cold, a cough, and back spasms. Last week, I had a stomach issue.

I think I am going through a rebalancing process. Perhaps a grieving process. Maybe more of a celebration, recalibration, and reset.

I am using this time of illness to lay in bed and process my mother's death. I needed a week off to allow my body to catch up with my brain and my emotions. Mentally and emotionally, I feel great. I am looking forward to the future. Physically, I'm tired and coughing.

People tell me I have to go through a grieving process, but I don't feel grief. I feel elation that we are both free. My mother is thinking and moving again. She can play cards. She can limbo dance. Meanwhile, I am returning to my own life without needing to take care of her, visit her, and wait for "the call." I feel like she is happy on the other side and that I am happy on this side.

In fact, it's more than a feeling that she is okay. Three psychics have brought messages from her to me, telling me that she is happy. When I look at the big context in which all of this life and death stuff occurs, it makes her passing a time of celebration. I am excited for both of us.

That part of me which was angry and resentful, yet still wishing her the best, is gone. Without that part, my body is off balance. I am adjusting to a new normal. It's like being a four-legged stool and having one leg removed. The three remaining legs can shift around to provide just as much support as before, but they have to complete that movement.

When I asked a psychic about my body issues, she told me: On some level you knew that your mother's death was coming and your body reacted. You knew you were going to have shoulder this burden, then work to move forward. The pain in your left knee reflects a fear of moving forward.

Shoulders indicate that we are pushing through something. Knees have to do with forward movement. This woman told me that as soon as I could release the stress, my body would heal. I am working through the things which must be taken care of after a passing. Not only do these things have to be done properly, but I found that I had to be in the right frame of mind to do them. I had to accept my mother's death before I could deal with her papers. Who would have thought I would have trouble trusting that she had passed? Not me.

I am so lucky to have a supportive family and a set of spiritual coaches to help me through this time!

Curious about what came through when different psychics connected with my mother?

Shortly after my mother died, one psychic said:

"She's already transferred to the light. When you told me, instantly, I felt her very happy. Very happy. Very happy. She is really happy."

The same day, another psychic told me:

"When she is gone longer, she is going to get close to you. She is going to ask forgiveness. She did a lot of things that made the separation between you. She is going to accept what she has done and feel bad, and she will want to be around you, to help you. She's not there yet. She is going to get there. She can recognize it, but she needs more time.

"She had to accept she was dead. She didn't accept that right away. Your mom did some fighting. Now, she accepts she is dead, but she doesn't want to be. She still has to accept the totality of it."

About a month later, another psychic shared that my mother was apologetic. She had been through her life review and seen her missed opportunities to love and be loved. It was an eye-opener for her. In fact, the psychic said that my mother had gone through this life review a dozen times to better understand what had transpired.

The psychic choked up as she said, "She is showing me a big, wide smile and she say's, ‘I'm free. I'm healed. I have no pain. You have gone above and beyond being my daughter.'"

Ah, acknowledgment. This is a two-way street. I know I played a part in this relationship, and it's good to hear that she sees that she bears some responsibility too.

If you have ever wondered about the healing aspect of Mediumship, this is it. A chance to hear that the person who has passed is okay and is thinking about their life.

Now, as I am moving through this head cold, I expect to feel better . . . my lungs, my sinuses, my shoulder, my knee, and my back are improving. Thank goodness. I need these bits and pieces to be well so I can enjoy the years to come.

That's the news from my life. What's new with you?

Kelsey's Lithomancy

I asked Kelsey, "What do you do at the Psychic Fair?"

She told me:

I practice lithomancy, which is old, old, form of stone reading. I learned it through a dream. I dreamed I was giving a reading. When I woke up, I knew how to do it. I had never done it before. I hadn't even heard of it. I researched what I had seen in the dream, and it ended up being lithomancy.

Lithomancy uses 16 stones to provide a 12 week reading. There are ten planetary stones and six personal stones.

On my table, I have a basket which is divided into 12 sections. The person stands over the basket and releases the stones. I read the stones according to where they fall, where they point, what they lay next to, and their alignment.

Afterwards, I write up the reading and e-mail it to the client with a photo of the stones. I write a couple of lines to remind them of what each thing meant. A lot of people don't take notes, and it can be hard to remember 12 weeks of information. I write a sentence or two about each week, then send it to them. They get the picture and the little write up.

I have been doing this for several years.

I asked, "Do you know how much of the information is based on how the stones drop, and how much of it comes from your intuition?"

Kelsey answered:

Before someone throws, I have them hold the stones. I say, "Don't tell me anything. Don't ask me anything." When they throw the stones, information starts coming in. It's like data starts loading.

There are times when their Guides say, "This is what this means." Then, the Guides want to tell us something else about the situation. I ask to be the conduit. I don't put myself into it. It's whatever the Guides want to share. They are very chatty. It's like sitting with a window between us and they are all banging on the window saying, "Wait, I've got something to say!" I'm sorting it out. It always works.

It's a 12 week reading.

Kelsey, thank you so much for sharing your process with us!

In January 2009, I interviewed Cherie Fraine. Cherie is a Psychic and a Reiki Master. She also takes people on Shamanic Journeys so that they can have their own psychic experiences. In the 1970s, Cherie went through a testing process and was certified as 95% - 100% accurate.

In this interview, Cherie discusses the difference between "spirit time" and "people time," and explains how she uses Tarot cards to determine the timing of future events. Cherie noted that many people with psychic abilities are here as volunteers to help other people get to the place where they won't have to come back anymore.

In the past, Cherie worked with the FBI and with police to solve crimes.

For next two weeks, you can read Cherie's interview for free on the "Featured Interview" page of this website. After that, her interview will be available as a 99 cent Kindle e-book.

Let me know what you think of the interview.

Quote from a Psychic - Choose the Positive

We have to stay up-to-date. We have to claim responsibility for ourselves in this present day and say, "If I have the option, I choose to see things out of love, not fear." Our choice will determine our whole experience on this planet. Everything else is just details which can be adjusted. Choose to see things out of love, or to take the positive view.

Negative vibrations are in the minority at this time. They try to convince us, "This is how you have to see things." If you say, "I don't think that is the truth," they gasp.

Look in your heart for a positive, warm feeling. Look for things which make your heart feel alive. Things which make your heart feel good are reality. That is the love vibration. That is the new vibration in which we exist. We have a chance to grow better, faster, and stronger, than ever before.

Stay positive. Believe in love. Choose love, choose faith, choose loving yourself and your brother.

Infinite Timelines

I heard these ideas at a channeling event.

For every decision you make, you create a timeline. If you decide to go to the store, you create two timelines, one in which you went to the store and another in which you decided not to go to the store.

At the store, you may decide to buy beans. This will create two timelines, one in which you purchased beans, and one in which you did not. In the other timeline, you may have purchased bananas.

With every decision you make, you manifest an existence, a planet, a solar system, a universe. There are untold numbers of universes. Untold numbers of options. Untold numbers of lives which are unfolding for you as an individual, endlessly, forever.

After you pass into spirit, you integrate the experience of this life into the experience of the memory of every other life you have lived, along with the portion of your spirit which may still be living a parallel life. These memories integrate into your Higher Self.

It is like two friends walking hand in hand. They are so close that the more they walk and talk, the closer they get, until one of them disappears into the other one because their experiences in this life have been added to the grandest manifestation of who they are, which is called the Higher Self. The Higher Self is the grand being, the co-creating god of the soul that is you.

I asked, "If your experiences branch out, depending on the choices you make, like tree branches, do you experience all these different timelines while here on Earth? Do you take just one path, or do you take all of them?"

The answer is that when you focus on one incarnation, that is what you see, feel, and hear. When you move into spirit, you have access to all your incarnations.

My impression was that our decisions and timelines create a ball of energy around us with points of light for each timeline. It looks like a galaxy of stars. We stand in the middle.

Thank you, Susan Sampson, for channeling this information so we can all learn and grow

Let me know if you have felt the creation of multiple timelines while in this lifetime.

Religion

At a recent channeling, one participant asked: What is the purpose of religion?

This was the answer:

"When you incarnate on different planets and in different galaxies, they each have their own vibration. They each have their own perception of reality.

"Let's say that you are coming from Andromeda and you are going to incarnate in the Milky Way Galaxy. First, you will incarnate on a planet at the edge of the Milky Way Galaxy. It is a planet that welcomes souls who have not been here before. On that planet you will learn, and get used to, the energy of the Milky Way Galaxy.

"Similarly, if you were going to other galaxies, you would spend time on those kinds of planets.

"After that, you may decide to incarnate on Earth, but you are not used to Earth's energy. You don't know what is expected of you. You don't know what is right or wrong. You have been living in absolute freedom, so you come to a tribal experience where taboos tell you what is right and what is wrong. Or, you come to a religious experience which tells you what is right and what is wrong.

"Religion trains you to live in third dimensional reality.

"These are stages that you use to come to the absolute freedom of living in third dimensional reality and knowing that there is a higher power that you can interact with, without the cloak of religion."

Thank you, Susan Sampson, for bringing this information to us.

30 Day Anniversary

Today is the one-month anniversary of my mother's death.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about my mother's funeral and I shared the powerful forgiveness prayer I had said. That prayer created forgiveness in both directions. I forgave her and I asked her to forgive me. Since then, I have come to see that there is a third important part to that prayer.

My mother and I had a difficult relationship. After her death I wondered, "Could I have done more to improve the situation?" I wondered how large a percentage of responsibility I bore for the friction between us. Could I have done better?

I realized that the third part of the forgiveness prayer was self-forgiveness. I needed to forgive myself for anything I could have done to improve this situation, which I had not done. I had to remember how many hours I had spent thinking about our relationship and trying to release the perceived slights. I had done a lot of work.

After her passing, I second-guessed myself. That's when I realized that it didn't matter if I could have been more tolerant. I had to stop feeling bad that I might have found an alternate approach. I had to forgive myself for anything I had not done, and I had to forgive myself for any negative thoughts about myself. It's important to be honest with ourselves, but it is not necessary to berate ourselves for things we could have done differently. We have to work with the situation we have in the moment. I needed to remember the good and kind things I had done. I can think about the things I didn't do which could have made the relationship worse. The words I might have said if I hadn't exercised restraint. Self-forgiveness - the third part of the prayer.

I continue to wonder about the relationship my mother and I shared. Why did it have to be so hard? Were we working out Karma from past lives? Had we set this up before birth so that we could have a learning experience? Did something happen during this lifetime which set this trajectory?

Moving on, here's something which surprised me. For years, I had been teased that my mother was dying, but she had not passed on. Several times my mother had told me, "I'm dying tonight. I won't be here in the morning." We had said a tearful goodbye. The next day, she was back to eating lunch and playing cards. Several times, her doctor had told me, "The clock is ticking," yet it continued to tick.

This time, she actually passed into spirit and I am having a hard time believing it. On one hand, I accept her death. I attended her funeral. On the other hand, I keep thinking I'll wake up and find that the universe has played on a joke on me. I don't trust that she has passed.

It's hard to work through all the financial paperwork, such as cancelling her Social Security checks and her health insurance, when I keep wondering if she is coming back. Is this normal? Have other people experienced this?

After a death, there is much work to be done: cleaning out an apartment, deciding what to do with belongings, arranging a funeral, hosting relatives, contacting financial institutions, cancelling credit cards, etc. I don't know how people who are deeply grieving can think clearly enough to complete these tasks. I have friends who have fallen into deep depression after their mother passed. How did they manage to do all of this?

Last week, I spoke with a psychic and found that I didn't want to ask about my mother. I think we both need a period apart to heal before reconnecting any more than we already have done.

Thirty days after her death, I am coming out of the fog of all the work which needs to be completed. Soon, I hope to get back to transcribing the universal messages from psychics, so I can share those ideas with you.

I hope that writing about the thoughts which surround my mother's passing is helpful to anyone out there who might be going through the same thing.

Take care.

Gail

Aura Photography and Chakra Energy Centers

Each of us lives within an energy system. Our body is surrounded by an energetic aura, and we also have energy flowing though our anatomy. Our body has seven major energy centers, known as chakras, which convey internal energy.

Some psychics see auras and chakras. Those of us who can't see those things on our own, can be the subject of Aura Photography. This computerized system isn't exactly an aura photo, but is based on information coming through the hand as it is placed on a conductive metal base. I won't go into the technical details because I am not familiar with them. The more-interesting thing is what aura photography shows and how it differs from person to person.

At the last Psychic Fair, Cindy Rost was set up with a computer system for aura photography. She invited me to sit down and have my aura analyzed. What did we see? Red. We saw red. My red aura indicated an emphasis on grounding, stability, and security. Red can also indicate fear, but I didn't feel fearful. This photo was taken less than two weeks after my mother had passed away and I had spent those weeks arranging a funeral, dealing with finances, contacting people, and putting one foot in front of the other to get through all that needed to be done. I was not surprised to see that my aura focused on dealing with the basics. I have posted this photo above and labeled it "Aura Photo 1."

Let's take a deeper look. Beyond the red aura, the photograph also shows my seven major chakra energy centers. When we talk about chakras, we often begin from the bottom of the body and work our way up. This is what you can see in Aura Photo 1:

The root chakra is wide open, indicating a focus on the basics.

The sacral chakra, which is about self-worth, sexuality, and creativity, is closed down.

The solar plexus chakra, about emotions, is pretty open.

The heart chakra, about love and compassion for ourselves and others, is small.

The throat chakra, about speaking our truth with compassion and love, is wide open. (Thank goodness! I was at the Fair and wanted to spend the day talking with people).

The third eye, about intuition and psychic images, is closed.

The crown chakra, about spiritual connection, is open.

Cindy told me that, ideally, all chakras should be about the same size, and they should be about the size of my crown chakra. When the chakras are balanced, no chakra is much larger or smaller than the others.

I would like to try this again in a month or two, after I've finished all the paperwork, etc., which comes with settling someone's estate.

In contrast to March's photo, you can see a photo above which was taken several years ago in which my aura was a high-vibrational purple. Cindy reminded me that aura photographs are a snapshot in time. As we change, they change. And, on any particular day, we may be more focused on one area of life than another. The photograph reflects our current thoughts and emotions.

Now, I want to show you two other aura photographs.

Aura Photo 2 is from someone who is very psychic. You can see all the white in this photo. White indicates a strong connection to Source. This strong white reached down to the ground. However, she had colors too; red, green, and yellow. In addition, her chakra energy centers were of various sizes indicating that she had work to do on herself. Just because someone is strongly connected to Source and very psychic, doesn't mean that they don't have their own issues tied to life on earth.

Finally, the third aura photo (Aura Photo 3) is from someone else at the fair. This photo has a cerebral, yellow, energy which comes from the solar plexus.

You can see that everyone's photo is different in terms of the color of their aura and the size of their chakras.

I hope Cindy returns to the Psychic Fair. Cindy is based in Sierra Vista, AZ, where she is working on her Ph.D. She is analyzing her work from a scientific perspective. However, she finds that her intuition assists with data interpretation and presentation. Cindy runs the "Unique Body Balance Wholeness Center." You can contact Cindy at uniquebodybalance@gmail.com.

If you get a chance to try aura photography, go for it. It's fascinating.

Let me know what you think.

What do Psychics do?

I asked Kaci Pielstick, "What do you do at the Psychic Fair?" She answered:

"I do Tarot card readings. I have been doing this for seven years.

"My readings are a little different from what other people might do. I do transformational readings.

"If you are struggling with something specific, I am going to tell you the steps to take to overcome that struggle. I'll tell you about the roadblocks to move through to solve the problem. Big picture, small picture.

"It's not just answering the question of whether someone is coming into your life, it's talking about what you need to work on to attract that great person into your life.

"It's transformational.

"I also have crystal energy.

"Outside of the Fair, I do life coaching. I teach Tarot card reading and psychic development. When I teach Tarot, it's about how you use your intuition with the Tarot cards. Everyone does it differently. That's what I teach, more than the Tarot cards. However, I don't do this at the Fair. Here, it is about the healing with the Tarot cards."

After Passing, my Mother's Story Continues

I want to share a few things which happened after my mother crossed to the other side two weeks ago: a funeral insight and messages from mom.

Funeral Insight

My mother had a beautiful, traditional, religious funeral. One of the most-touching parts was a prayer of forgiveness. My brother and I were asked to walk up to the casket, individually, and say a prayer of forgiveness. It was suggested that this be a two-way prayer, with two parts.

We were to forgive the deceased person for anything they had said or done which had offended us. We were also asked to forgive the person for not being the person which we needed them to be; for not meeting our idea of what the perfect parent would be. So it wasn't just forgiveness for what they had said or done, it was also for what they had not said or done, which we wished had happened.

The second part was to ask for forgiveness from the deceased person for the things we had said or done which had offended them. Then, we were to ask forgiveness from them for not being the person they needed us to be. No one is perfect. We all have blinders and challenges.

This set of prayers is meant to wipe the slate clean and to release all grudges. As we forgive, we ask that no one suffer or be punished on our behalf.

I also asked that my mother be supported on her journey to the other side. I wished that she feel happy and free.

This prayer had a profound effect on me. Wiping the slate clean and moving into two-way forgiveness helped re-frame my thoughts. My mother and I had a difficult relationship. I'm tired of focusing on the slights and the lack of support. I want to move forward. However, I am human. I still say and think things about my mother which are less than generous. I am working on this.

Messages from Mom

Towards the end of her life, my mother had dementia. I thought that when she passed, she would go into a period of healing and I would not hear from her for a while. Turns out this was just my idea, not how things actually worked. Yes, she is in a transitional period, yet I have heard from her.

On my own, I received a surprising message. As I walked my dog, I received an impression in my mind. I didn't hear a voice, but she conveyed, "Good game, Gail. You were a worthy competitor. We played this game all the way to the end. No one gave up. No one gave in." Wow.

Then, at Sunday's Psychic Fair, a couple of psychics brought messages from mom to me. One message came from an energy worker who I didn't know was psychic. I just wanted someone to check that my energy system was clear. I wanted to be certain that "no one" from the cemetery had attached to my energy and come home with me.

As this woman began working in my aura, she asked, "Has your mother passed?" Then her faced clouded up and she tentatively questioned, "Was it recent? She is still in transition." It had only been 10 days. This woman had not known about my mother's passing.

The energy worker went on to tell me that my mother had not wanted to leave this world. My mother knew she was dead, but had not accepted it. She was taking time to complete her transition. This made perfect sense. While alive, my mother never believed she would die. She fought to stay here. Over the years she had exit points, but she refused to go. It was fascinating to hear this message from an intuitive energy worker with whom I had never before spoken. The Intuitive provided additional confirmations from my mother.

I know this kind of inter-realm communication happens, yet it surprises me to experience such a clear connection to someone on the other side, and to hear from them so quickly after their death.

It's a world of wonder.

gail@MyPsychicSearch.com

To connect, I need to get on what I call "The Highway" where all of the information lies. It's like an energy field of the universe where information is held. Every reader has a different way of getting there. As far back as I can remember, the breath gets you to a different level. Once you've done it for a while, you can get yourself there quickly because you know how to do it. You just reach up and ask for assistance with information for the person with whom you are talking. "There goes Martha Lou! Can we have Martha Lou back here please?" Then Martha Lou comes back and stands behind the client.

On that information highway is where I personally see someone or get a feeling. Some [deceased] people are very animated and show up how you would recognize them, then they revert to how they look now. If your grandfather shows up with his pipe and his hat and his beard, I'm going to explain that to you. Then, he's going to go back to how he looked at 35 or 40, which is how he looks now. They assist us in identifying them. The first image is just to get recognition. They understand skepticism. They know that people are skeptical. After I convince you that I am talking to your grandfather, and you confirm, "Yes, he smoked a pipe with cherry tobacco. He loved it," then he can give me whatever it is that he wants to say to you or your family. Or, he can answer a question.

Not everyone shows up with the hat and the pipe and the tobacco which I can smell. It's almost like the readings; there isn't a set way that spirits show up. Sometimes it is just a ray of light behind someone. It just depends. There is no one way.
