a woman giving birth at about the same time that you were. Some-

thing unexpected happened. I feel that there was a problem with

the delivery. The baby didn’t make it. The soul of that baby passed into Jack. It was lost. I feel as if it believed that this was her body.

Both of the souls are still inside of his one body.”

Despite this startling information, Rebecca does not look as

taken aback as I thought she might. She tells me. “I heard rumors of a stillborn at the hospital when I was there. It’s odd but I it makes sense. Something seemed off at his birth. I was only in labor for

three hours. I had no problems but I felt very uneasy. Like there was something happening that I could not control.”

I explain to her. “I am going to help the soul that came in at

birth go into the light. It will not take long.”

I ask for an angel and Mother Mary to carry this trapped soul to

the light. There is no resistance. I feel readiness and a sense of relief from the trapped soul. In a moment I feel that she is gone.

“I tell Rebecca. “The other soul is in the light. It was not dif-

ficult. You should see immediate changes in Jack. He still needs to go through a process of integration and fully spread out into his

body as he has never had this opportunity. But, he will be more

grounded and his true personality will begin to surface.”

“I am not as surprised as you might think.” She tells me. “Jack

has had such odd behavior. Call it mother’s intuition but I have felt that something was odd for a long time.

This was a lot for Rebecca to take in. However, I seemed to be a

little more surprised than she was. We talked some more about Jack

and what to expect. She thanked me and we ended the session.

The following day I received an email from Rebecca in it she

said: “The evening after our session I asked Jack how he was feeling and if he felt any different that evening than he had that morning. Jack has had a lot of health issues so this is not an unusual

question for me to ask him. He said that he had been feeling
weird
and further that he felt that something important was missing and

it made him feel different. To me, this was confirmation that this

extra soul had gone to the light. I found myself both, happy and

relieved as well as strangely a little bit sad.”

I thanked Rebecca for letting me know how Jack was doing and

asked her to let me know if anything else came up.

A couple of days later while I was doing my morning mediation,

I received a message about Jack. I felt as if he was trying to convince this other spirit to come back into his body. An hour or so later I received another email from Rebecca.

“Today, Jack slept until 10am. He has never slept that late in his

life and normally wakes at 7:30. I asked him how he was feeling

and he told me that he was feeling good. I am a bit worried though

because he told me that he figured out what was wrong. He said

that there was a spirit missing, a good one. But then he told me

that it was back so now everything was okay. I am really concerned.

What do I do? Do you think the spirit came back?” She asked.

I immediately contacted Rebecca and told her that during my

meditation I too felt that Jack was trying to convince this soul to come back into his body.

I advised her to sit Jack down and explain to him that the spirit

that is close is his friends but that she is meant to be a spirit and not live inside of his body any more.

I told her. “Tell him that he will feel her presence close to him

from time to time, but she needs to be free. She is in the spirit

world and he is in the physical world. She loves him and wants him

to be happy as a boy in the world because she is happy as a spirit.

Jack might get sad and upset but be firm but gentle in reminding

him that this is how it has to be.”

A day later I heard back from Rebecca. She told me. “I did speak

with Jack and he was initially very resistant and said that he did not want to do as I was asking. In the end, he said that he understood

and would let the spirit be free.”

I hope you have been inspired by these client sessions and see

a bit of yourself within them. You are important to your friends,

family and community both here in the physical and on the other

side. In the next section you can explore and develop your natural

medium abilities. I have included a quiz to help you better explore your medium type as well as instructional exercises, visualizations, meditations. In the last chapter there are meditations and practices to empower you to directly help those on the other side.

Discover Your Medium Type

The ability to communicate with the other side can seem like a

mysterious gift that just a few people possess. During medium

sessions clients will sometimes ask me if they too, might have this ability. They may have experienced instances of direct contact with the other side or moments of fleeting connection and they wish to

harness their medium potential.

You may wish to explore your medium ability for a few differ-

ent reasons. You may be curious and want to learn more about the

spiritual realm, you may wish to feel closer to your loved ones who have passed over or you may desire to become a professional medium and help others to connect with their loved ones.

There are people like myself, who from an early age have been

aware of and able to communicate with those on the other side. Yet, everyone shares this innate gift. With a bit of dedication, understanding and practice it is possible to develop your latent abilities and become a more skilled medium.

How Your Loved Ones Get Your Attention

Developing your innate medium abilities begins with becoming

aware of the often subtle and elusive interactions that you are most
193

likely already experiencing with those on the other side. Sometimes we have surprising encounters with the spirit realm that are unmistakable and easily recognizable. You may visually see a deceased loved one, smell their favorite perfume or hear their voice speaking to you. I had a client tell me that while on the phone with her daughter, the reception went blank for a moment and she heard

what sounded like her husband who had passed over say “I love

you”. These kinds of encounters are exciting but not as common

as those times when you suspect that a loved one is close, but are

just not sure. A loved one’s presence may be experienced as a feel-

ing of comfort or warmth in your heart, a penny you find on your

doorstep or a light in your home that flickers. Have you ever had

a dream of a loved one that seemed to be more real than a dream?

You felt their presence and their love and woke feeling as if you

had been with them. That spontaneous insight about someone on

the other side that helped you to understand them better may be a

loved one sending you a thought message. While reading a self-help

book or practicing meditation, have you ever had the feeling that

there was someone beside you, learning along with you? It is easy to discount these types of interactions. Yet your loved ones reach out to you in these and other subtle ways. Even when you are not aware

that you are doing so, you are intuitively receiving the thoughts,

love, warmth and comfort of those who have passed over. Intuition

is an innate sense that we all possess which bypasses conscious reasoning and empowers us to connect with our loved ones in spirit.

The Four Medium Types

Intuition is a fascinating and enriching aspect of our true and au-

thentic nature. It is the key to understanding ourselves, our world and the world of spirit. When we die we shed the heavier and

denser shell of the physical body. What is left is the energy body

or spirit, an intricate system of consciousness, love and wisdom.

194 ~ Discover Your Medium Type

The energy body is not confined by the material laws of matter. It

allows us to connect and communicate with others in the physical

and nonphysical realms through energetic intuitive impulses. Even

though we tend to think of ourselves as physical beings, we are also energy beings. The physical part of you is just a temporary earth

suit. It will one day be shed and what will be left is the pure energy and spiritual vibration of who you really are. You are able to intuitively connect with your loved ones in spirit because you too are an energy being. The physical body is simply a convincing decoy.

Those in spirit communicate to you through their intuition and

you receive their messages through your intuition.

Just as we all have a particular learning modality, we also have a

specific way that we absorb intuitive energy vibrations. Some peo-

ple learn best when material is presented visually. Others are more auditory and like to listen to lectures or taped information. Many

people are kinesthetic and do best with a hands on approach to

learning. Similarly, there are four basic ways that we intuit. We may absorb energy vibration through our thoughts, our emotions, the

physical body and our energy field. An emotional intuitive is at-

tuned to emotional energy. A mental intuitive intuits thoughts and

mental energy. A spiritual intuitive intuits through the energy field or spirit while a physical intuitive absorbs energy into the body. Although you likely intuit through all four of these modalities, there will be one or two which are stronger and which you are more naturally attuned to. You connect and communicate with those who

have passed over into the spiritual realm through these same intui-

tive modalities. I call these different ways of naturally connecting with the other side your “medium type”.

To gain confidence and trust your ability to communicate with

the other side takes practice and an open attitude. Do not except

to immediately get the kind of verifiable evidence that your logical brain may desire. It is best to become sensitive to the shifting vibra-Discover Your Medium Type ~ 195

tions and energy sensations that you may experience and quiet the

thinking and analyzing mind. You may want to see, hear and talk to

those in the spirit realm like you do the people in your day to day life on earth. This may or may not happen and most likely it will

take some practice and further development to fully trust what you

receive. To begin, let go of your expectations of how you want to

communicate and discover how you already are.
