As part of last week’s blog post, I mentioned that when I had a reading with a psychic in Palm Springs, CA, I didn’t get a ton of personal information. After our reading, I realized why that had happened.

First, the reading I got was very good and the psychic was lovely. She had quite a few suggestions for me.

Second, I always enjoy a reading with a psychic who knows nothing about me. I feel like I can sit down, see what comes through, and know that the information hasn’t been influenced by anything I’ve written online.

When I sat down with this psychic, I told her that I didn’t have any questions, I just wanted to see what came through. She was fine with that. At the beginning of the reading, she got a few insights about me. However, it wasn’t until I asked a question about writing another book that  quite a bit of information came through. I have to remember that when I ask a question, it opens the energy for the psychic to receive an answer. I had not opened that line of energy until I had asked the question.

What I realized, afterwards, was that when I sit down with a psychic who I don’t know, I have to decide if I am going to be an observer/reporter, listening to whatever comes through, or if I am going to be an active participant, asking questions, providing some information about my life, and knowing that by giving information, the psychic might get clues as to how to answer my questions.

There’s no right or wrong here. It’s a question of perspective: do I want to be the observer or do I want the personal information?

Throughout the rest of our reading, I received additional information on my writing because I had asked that question. At some point, I shifted into interview mode and began asking about her abilities and how she had realized she was psychic. This conversation was fascinating and I’ll write more about it in another post.

What I missed out on was the opportunity to ask about my children and my friends, or to connect with someone on The Other Side. I could have tried all of that. All I had to do was ask.

Observer or participant? In psychic readings and in life, we get to choose. Next time, I’ll ask more questions.

If you want to know more about how to have a successful psychic reading, read my twelve tips on the “What do Psychics Do?” page of this website. I suppose I should review them too!

Book News:  Many years ago, I interviewed Melody Krafft. She is a Medium, a psychologist, a spirit communicator, and a visionary artist. She sees, and sketches, individuals on The Other Side. Since childhood, Melody has seen people who have crossed over.

Melody remarked, “I can see The Other Side and I can draw what I see. I can do drawings, then match them to photographs. I don’t always know who I am drawing. Sometimes I have to depend on the sitter to say, ‘Oh, that’s my mom.’ Then they can pull out a photo and match it.”

Melody noted, “The whole purpose of mediumship is healing. It is not a form of entertainment. When people realize that we don’t die, it takes fear out of their life. When you remove fear from a person, it opens them up to new experiences. They realize that they are not limited.”

After our interview, I published our conversation, and many of her drawings, as a Kindle e-book.

Now, Melody has written a book of her own, “Get me out of Here! What’s beyond this madness.” In this book, Melody describes each human’s spiritual path and the three stages of awakening. Melody’s book is available on Amazon, where people can preview and/or order the book.

Melody also has a website full of ideas and sketches.

Isn’t it nice that so much information is available on our spiritual journey?

Over the weekend, my husband and I drove to Palm Springs, CA, and back to the 1960s. Palm Springs is full of mid-century modern homes, “updated” old hotels, and Homes of the Stars (of the 1960s). Palm Springs also has a vibrant, hip/funky downtown area, a huge mountain range, green grass, and an LGBTQ+ vibe.

I’m posting photos of a few of things we stumbled upon. Interestingly, there are many things to discover, such as a 26' high Marilyn Monroe statue and a home with a yard full of robots, dinosaurs, toilets, and carnival rides, known as the Robolights home. Honestly, we were driving down the street and lucked into this place. We also saw the “Naked Bridge,” a pedestrian bridge which connects two sections of a nudist resort.

While in Palm Springs, we located the former homes of Frank Sinatra, Dinah Shore, Lucille Ball, and Elvis.

We also spent time with family members who were visiting the area and renting a mid-century modern home. It was great to catch up in person after 3 ½ years apart.

East of Palm Springs, we toured Joshua Tree National Park and stopped at the General Patton Memorial Museum which featured tanks.  

Back in Palm Springs, the downtown area is lined with shops, restaurants, and bars. One thing which surprised me was the number of metaphysical rock shops. I found two of them very close to each other. Then I found, “Crystal Fantasy,” a shop with tons of rocks, books, crystals . . . and psychic readers. Who knew? Of course, I had to sit down with a psychic who knew nothing about me and have a reading.

Our reading was long on minutes, but short on information specific to me. I think I know why: I didn’t want to provide any personal information, I just wanted to see what came through. I probably should have asked more questions. I’ll write about this reading after I’ve listened to the recording. Remember how I always tell you to record your readings? I recorded mine on my smart phone. At this point, I can remember a few things she said, but most of the reading is a blur.

We had a nice long weekend, but had to scoot back to Tucson ahead of the “atmospheric river” which was about to pound CA.

Enjoy a few photos:

 A few months ago, we bought a new vehicle, a Subaru Forester. This car meets my husband’s need to drive down rocky, sandy, sometimes-primitive, roads. He’s been enjoying the ride. Today was the first time I drove the car. Why am I telling you this? There are things which we think about and plan, but they are only ideas until we actually experience them. Yes, I understand that the car has lane controls and adaptive cruise control; however, I need to feel them move the car to really know how they work.

I’ve been reading a bit about life between lives – the time between lives when we plan our next incarnation. According to what I have read, we plan the outline of our life based on the things we want to experience. While alive, we can add details (we have free will) and we can feel the emotions associated with doing whatever it is that we have planned.

For example, we may plan a life with children. We can idealize parenthood and dream of it. But no amount of planning prepares us for the visceral emotions when pulled in ten directions, while listening to screaming children, and having to get dinner on the table – that is the hi-def experience.

A Spirit Guide explained to me that between lives, we make choices and decisions with total awareness. We are shown what is to be. We are not drafted into these lifetimes, we choose them. However, we have to live these lives to get the full meaning.

The message went on:

“In the transitional state, you will know and see what is imperative for you to know. But it would not be a blessing for your natural development to know ahead of time how things would switch, turn, and be. Part of the gift of physical life is being fully immersed in the lifetime that you have selected in order to bring it to the fruition of it’s highest and greatest good.”

So, on some level, we know in advance about upcoming dramas, crises, and situations. We are not completely surprised by them. We have a clue. Then, in the body, we co-create the situation, adding to it, fleshing it out, and feeling it.

Spirit remarked:

“If you had known the pain that you were going to go through, you might have said, ‘Well I won’t love as deeply.’ Then it wouldn’t have been as sweet, or as real, at that time. If you had known traumas or things that were going to happen, you may not have selected being there, or you might have quit. It is imperative to stay with the program. It is co-created. The results, while they were glimpsed ahead of time, have to be lived.”

This reminds me of Garth Brook’s song, “The Dance” in which he says, “I could have missed the pain, but I'd have had to miss The Dance.”

You can mentally know what is coming, but actually experiencing it and having the feelings fills out the experience. It’s a knowingness, not a thought or a hope. We came to “know.”

So, the next time you find yourself at a crossroads, the next time you find yourself in a dire situation, remind yourself that there may be a lot to be learned from that particular experience.

Let me know how you’ve seen this play out in your life.

At a recent channeling event, we were told to journal whatever was going on in our lives. When we write things down, we mull them over; we think about how to phrase stories and ponder what certain events mean to us. We see connections and synchronicities. Putting thoughts on paper helps us remember what really happened. Years later, we can refer to these notes.

The writing theme came through in several personal messages at the end of the channeling.

Spirit encouraged one person who was dealing with a throat issue to say the things which needed to be said. While she couldn’t tell those things to the person who was a point of stress in her life, she could write them down.

Spirit explained:

“There are times when we need to speak for ourselves. Not necessarily for another individual to hear us or for another individual to become more aware. These are things which need to be stated, need to be said, need to be clarified, need to be argued, need to be . . . whatever your energy is calling it. The blocked energy in your throat is because of things which are not being said . . . Give them a voice. Give them a release . . . Be very specific. You need to get them out of your system so that they don’t intoxicate your vessel. You can reach a place of release. There is something very healing about releasing -- stating, writing, and getting it out of your system.”

Spirit encouraged a second person who had a lot going on in her life to write down all the things which needed to be done, then to note which things she had to do and which items could be delegated to Spirit. For example, she planned to sell her house. She could do the sorting and the packing, but Spirit could bring her the perfect buyer.

Another person in the group was undergoing medical tests. Spirit advised that she write everything down so that she and her children could read the notes later. The notes might reveal family patterns. Or, they might inspire her children to get certain tests which head off future medical problems.

A portion of the channeled message pointed out that we create our life stories.

Spirit said:

“Everyone looks at their day as if it is a complete chapter. As if it is a complete book. If you remember that it is only a paragraph in the story of your life, you’ll let there be some funny ones. You’ll let there be some sad, melodramatic ones. That is what makes the book interesting.

“If all books were the same, how boring. Each of you should admire the paragraphs that you are writing in your daily pages. Respect them. Kudos to you.

“Not all books are straightforward. Not all books are mysteries. Not all books are comics. Not all books are logistical. Every book serves its purpose, not only for the author, but for whomever is on the receiving end of that information.

“And, if you have reached the end of that hardcover book, and you feel you are done, it’s time to start a new book. Time to open a new hardcover and start writing.”

I enjoy writing. I chronicle the things going on in my life. Writing helps me remember when and how things happened. I admit that it’s hard to remember everything. I love re-reading pages from years ago and reliving the way things really happened – not just how I remember the events, but the actual facts and details.

See? I’m writing and you are reading. So much fun (for me).

Enjoy your day.
