There are times I innocently find myself in social situations in which I’m expected to psychically “jump through hoops,” especially with curious friends who are more scientifically inclined.
In this particular instance, I was invited to lunch at the home of my friend John, who is a medical doctor. (All of his family had previously seen me for readings, with the exception of his wife.) After lunch, I was led into the family room and John casually handed me a framed photo of his two young sons with another child. I glanced at the photo and commented that it was nice. Undeterred by my casual comment, he returned the photo to me and asked me directly “What about the boy in the middle?” I replied instantly, “Well, he’s dead….” I had sensed a Spirit presence directly behind me and I had been relayed this information using my Clairaudient ability (the ability to hear Spirit). I then began to receive specific details relating to the young man’s tragic death, strongly emphasizing that it was an accident. (I was later told that there was some uncertainty in this regard, and someone close needed this assurance).
Afterward, we entered his living room and John proceeded to show me another framed photo, this time of his deceased father-in-law. As I reached for the photo, I distinctly heard a male voice say to me in no uncertain terms, “DON’T hold the frame like that—hold it this way!” The energy was off-putting, so I barely glanced at the photo. Returning the photo I said, “Your father-in-law had quite a cantankerous personality.” He looked puzzled and replied, “No, not at all. He was a nice man.” Well, I knew what I had heard but decided to let it be.
As the story goes, later that evening John, believing I had been mistaken, discussed with his wife the perplexing incident regarding her father’s photo. As my friend repeated my exact words, his wife’s excitement grew evident and she exclaimed, “That’s my father! But you’d have no way of knowing that! As a scientist, he had framed glass slides lying about at home and when we were young children at play we’d sometimes handle the slides and smudge our fingerprints on the glass. It was one of his pet peeves and he would scold us.”
No matter to what extent you are gifted as a Medium, the Spirit realm remains “the boss.” They decide when and what to give you. Most of the time, I can turn my abilities on and off such that I can carry on normal daily activities without Spirit interactions. It has taken me a very long time to be able to harness these abilities in such a way that they no longer bombard my life and “manage” me. However, there are times, regardless of what I’ve personally achieved, when in my daily existence I can experience a breakthrough from the Spirit realm, with the sole purpose to give guidance. In these circumstances, my being is intercepted momentarily, as I am used as a vessel for what the Spirit realm wants to accomplish.
At the time of this incident, there was only evidence of the presence of her father that seemed otherwise insignificant without a meaningful message having been conveyed. However, I now realize that this was not the case in that, unbeknownst to us all at that time, it was an example of the Spirit realm at work, subtly laying the groundwork for a future time of need. At a later time, John’s wife unfortunately became gravely ill and after all the necessary medical tests were completed, he arranged for her to have a medical reading with me regarding her health issues. The information received in the reading was of enormous help to her in facing a diagnosis of Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and an insight given to her in the metaphor of “a living condition,” allowed her to hear that she would successfully come through the illness.
It is my belief that her willingness and trust in the information and the guidance given to her in her later medical reading was borne out of that earlier experience of the Spirit realm “networking” in the familiar voice of her father. It laid the foundation for a more important time to come.
