We all know this biblical story, but what is the symbolic message hidden in plain sight beyond the historical Jesus? What spiritual guidance and teaching does this allegory point us to? What is this story telling us about our place in the great celestial cycles of time?
Read MoreHello beautiful souls,
On January 21st at 12:53 pm, it is the birth of the first New Moon of 2023, (after Winter Solstice … remember that it lasts three days from the 22nd to 25 December) marking the beginning of the lunar calendar. A time of death and rebirth, blessing last lunar year and planting intentions for this fresh new lunar year.
It is a wonderful time to create a vision board or creative project to focus your powerful creative energy and harness your consciousness into manifesting in this physical dimension. When people use their creative energy it enhances their electromagnetic field, or aura.
When a client comes in expressing their creative selves on a regular basis, the field around their body is huge, dynamic and beautiful. Often times just spending five or 10 minutes a day engaging in some creative expression makes a huge difference.
Everyone has something important to express, it doesn't matter if your creation a best seller, recognized by the masses, or makes a billion dollars … Truly what's important is how it changes who you are.
So I invite you at this powerful time of death/rebirth/birth to contemplate what you would like to manifest in your life in this coming year. Gather your art supplies and find a quiet place and focus.
Blessings,
JAne
Tomorrow we will be honoring the first full moon of 2023, but the last full moon of this lunar year…before this next lunar year begins on Saturday, January 21, which is known as Lunar Imbolc, Chinese New Year & other things by other cultures.
The association with women and the moon can be traced back to dusty prehistory. Since our moon controls all moisture, including water, blood, and the emotional body … It controls and regulates things from ocean tides to women's menstrual cycles.
The lunar year begins at the first new moon after Winter Solstice, (remember Winter Solstice lasts for “three three days of darkness” starting December 21 and which ends on December 25), and a lunar year consists of 13 lunar (moon) cycles. Incidentally, which is why the number 13 is sacred to the Goddess! Of course, once the patriarchy took hold, 13 got a bad rap.
In ancient times the moon was considered to have three phases; the birthed & growing moon, the full & fertile moon, the last phase being the dying moon. These phases were personified by the Goddess in her three phases, the maiden or virgin, the pregnant mother, and the postmenopausal crone. Maiden-Mother-Crone.
The full moon is a great time to honor the manifestation of what you planted in the last new moon cycle two weeks ago on Dec. 23. Since this is the last full moon of this lunar year, it is a great time to honor what you have been gifted and are grateful for in this past year. In my opinion, gratitude is one of the most powerful energies we can muster. In my work as an intuitive, when I see clients who maintain an active gratitude practice, their energy is vibrant, clean and powerful. I would go so far as to say it creates a field around them that seems to attract good things, lovely people and miraculous blessings.
It is also a beautiful time to let go of any final negative energies for the year: what you no longer need to carry, such as resentments, anger, unfinished business and outmoded ways of thinking. How you think is extremely important… it defines your future possibilities.
In this new lunar year starting on January 21, there will be the opportunity to go deeper into your process of healing and growing. You will be invited to do deeper work through journaling and creativity as I will be providing inspiration and fun assignments on downloadable PDFs… if you are interested.
Happy Friday the 13th. One of the most sacred of days in the ancient world ... when the Goddess' sacred day & number converge. Her sacred day was/is Friday, and her sacred number was 13, reflecting the 13 Moon cycles in a Solar Year.
She was deeply connected to the Moon & moisture, as the Moon influences all liquid on Mother Earth. The Goddess is know by many names ... Venus,, (born on a half shell), Aphrodite, Isis and of course the only remaining contemporary Goddess ... Mother Mary. Her name reveals traces of her lineage through language, Latin: mare ‘sea’.
The custom of honoring & worshiping the Goddess of moisture, was by eating her fish (symbolically her sacrament) on Friday… later assimilated into Christian worship, and secular tradition, ie "Fish Friday".
It was customary in ancient times on Friday the 13th, to honor this super sacred day by sharing love (as She is also the Goddess of love & fertility. Fertility because the womb room is water, all mammals are aquatic creatures before birth, then become land creatures after birth). So couples would stay home and frolic in sacred union!
By the time the patriarchy got a foot hold, these practices we're considered, well a bit heathen ... and so Friday the 13th became defamed and adversely effected by a misinformation campaign
On Saturday Jan, 21st, the first New Moon is born after Winter Solstice (which ends December 25, when the Sun/Son is reborn/born), which marks the beginning of the Lunar Year. It is a
wonderful time
to set intentions and create a vision board for yourself.

Blessings,
My primary shamanic training was with Lakota medicine woman, Patricia Spradling of Wy’East & Michael Harner at Foundation for Shamanic Studies. But there is no substitute for personal experience through revelation, spiritual awakening experiences and shamanic journey. My personal transformative experiences in the king’s chamber of the Great Pyramid, the Peruvian Amazon with Ayahuasca and at Eleusis the site of the ancient Eleusinian mystery school changed the texture of my consciousness and the trajectory of my life.
First I would congratulate the beginner who is entertaining the idea that there are higher states of consciousness! This is a first big step and requires only that your mind move from every day consciousness, beta brain waves to shamanic consciousness or Theta Delta brain waves. Most everyone is able to access these deeper places, current research, being done at several universities, is showing what our ancient ancestors have done for millennium ... escaping the prison of our conscious mind can be done effectively through repetitive sound such as drumming or chanting.
The indigenous people tell us that each person has a spirit guide on earth in the form of a wild animal spirit. This is said to be an essential part of personal and spiritual power for people. From my own experience as an intuitive reader for many years, I can share that every single person I have ever read in session has a guide. Most people are unaware of their powerful gift and how to best utilize it.
The practice of returning fragments of your soul that have been lost in trauma, abuse or given away to false power is probably the most powerful aspects of my work as a shamanic practitioner. In a non-ordinary state of consciousness or shamanic state of mind, we work together to locate and return these valuable gems to you. Often miraculous ... people report healing quickly, getting unstuck and reigniting life's purpose.
This course in three classes is a wonderful opportunity to begin your personal healing journey or deepen your healing process. Using a repetitive shamanic drum beat will allow you to journey to other realms and achieve a non-ordinary state of consciousness. Using art (doodling) helps move the energy and access parts of your soul that are in accessible through language. You do not need to be artist as much of the process is done with non-dominant hand. We are in a time when much in this world makes us feel vulnerable and disempowered. I hope to make positive change by helping people to empower themselves. Many of my clients are leaking energy that can only be remedied through spiritual transformation. From a shamanic perspective all dis-ease is created first in the subtle realms and later calcifies by manifesting into physical problems.
Dear friends, family & community
My heart is full as I sit down to write this to you. Hoping all is well with you, your friends, family & community … these are difficult times. This is a long newsletter, but I have much to share that may help you now. The deepest and most powerful lessons are detailed below in “Sabbatical ’21 Report”… You are never alone, You have allies … and a few more ;-)
My schedule starting September 18th is below
If you’ve never made the journey to ECETI on Mt. Adams in SW Washington, you may consider making the pilgrimage. We attended the annual conference while camping in our new yurt tents. By day we walked the Galactic Medicine Wheel and Pleiadian Circle and listened to fascinating presenters. By night we sky-watched. 100 people or so were stretched out on lawn chairs wrapped in blankets, surveying a brilliant star studded night … the Milky Way so bright it ran like a river across the sky. Some people had binoculars, others night-vision goggles, some lasers … we were all there to hunt UFOs! Beyond the obvious planes & satellite … we were really witnessing unidentified flying objects!
Eceti summer conference
Some craft, traveling at phenomenal heights & speeds, flashed their lights in response to the lasers, and some completely disappeared while others made right-angle turns. Several years ago I saw a UFO fly directly into a doorway (portal?) at the upper area of Mt Adams. I also saw orbs with my own eyes, using night-vision glasses, shapes that were very definitely round orbs, NOT insects. The orbs flew in & out of trees, around people & into the ground … were they fairies, tree spirits or souls? We later made a trek up to 7,000 ft, deep into the Yakama Nation, a Native American reserve where we spoke to a young tribal man who told us that the “Old Ones” have lived on the mountain since ancient times.
Lesson #1. We are NOT alone — In my opinion, our space siblings & cousins are real & really out there! There is a community beyond Mother Earth, perhaps a Galactic community. We are NOT alone, there are multiple dimensions here that are teaming with life, fairies, mountain spirits, water spirits … a complex magical community. It’s time to open up to the possible!
The annual Hierarchy Of Light Conference is held in the charming town of Mt. Shasta, in the northern region of California. Known for it’s wild beauty and UFO activity, many have experienced encounters with “The Tall Whites,” an ancient race of people from Atlantis, thought to have moved into Mt. Shasta before the flood 12,000-ish years ago. Several speakers at the Conference described being taken by 8-14 ft. Atlantans to a city deep beneath the earth.
My presentation focused on “The Ferryman”, ancient and modern spirit guides, or psychopomps, who help newly disincarnate souls find their way back to their spirit’s home. Our modern culture is starting to remember this timeless wisdom, thank Goddess! We met so many lovely people with interesting ideas and open hearts. My teas & potions were well received … but more about that later.
Mt Shasta 1/4 mile mandala, created with serpentine standing stones shot through with black tourmaline.
On our way back home, we found ourselves on a truly enchanted journey inside of a 1/4 mile mandala, created with serpentine standing stones shot through with black tourmaline. The mandala keeper, Shalimar, gave us the grand tour of this megalith, equipt with giant pyramids & star tetrahedrons! Shout out to my lovely hosts: Patricia, Tyson, Starlite & Scott!
Lesson #2. Suspending disbelief encourages new ideas for negotiating these changing times. We are NOT alone, we have spiritual help.
Mother honored in my hallway
Mother Earth is speaking through many people’s creativity & meditations these days, which perhaps is an aspect of the Divine Feminine emerging. She supports us, she provides everything we need … she is the Mother of us all. I felt compelled to paint a portrait of Mom surrounded by sky on our hallway walls with latex & acrylic paint … perhaps Mother Earth herself had sent me this design directive! In my hypnosis session with Allison Coe this summer, I saw the importance of honoring Gaia on her natural holidays: Solstice & Equinox, and joining our voices together in song! This will make a huge difference in our future’s course. Shout out to the lovely young people who helped with all the trim paint: Ashe, Donna & Jake!
Lesson #3. Getting creative in a positive way opens a portal or connection to higher dimensions, making it easy to feel empowered and simultaneously difficult to be in fear. Remember, Mother Earth bats last!
While we were at ECETI, my brother called, “it’s time to come, Dad is near the end.” Such a call is never easy to receive, and it shook me. I took a moment to reflect and then check in with my guidance. In my mind’s eye I saw my father Richard, or rather a translucent version of him, standing next to his body in bed. Mildred & Ben, his parents (my grandparents) were standing in the room a short distance away. My brother was right … his transition from this world was near. So we packed up camp and started the complicated but breathtaking journey from Mt Adams through the Snoqualmie pass, across the Puget Sound to Whidbey Island … praying all the way.
Snoqualmie pass, WA
I bought white lilies & candles in anticipation, as they are the ancient symbol of rebirth (think Jesus & Easter), also the best scent to transcend the veil. Lilies are recognised as important for aiding souls on their final journey Home.
On the island ferry I closed my eyes & checked in on my guidance again, Mildred’s spirit was at the foot of Richard’s bed. His time was short.
At his home we were greeted by loving family that had been attending to him with great care. A hospital bed was in the living room & he was now comatose. Compassion flowed from me as I sat down. My mind raced … “Had I been a good daughter? No, I could have been better. Did I tell him I loved him last time we talked? Yes, yes, I did!” Thank Goddess, in that last conversation from the hospital two weeks prior, we reviewed afterlife communication.
“Hey Richard, when you make it Home will you give me a sign?” I gingerly requested.
“Well, I’m not sure if I will survive death — you live, you die … then pfffts, that’s it.” My father was funny even in his last act.
“Well, I have it on pretty good authority that you will live beyond your death,” I offered. He did not entirely believe that an afterlife existed, so my communication with loved ones in that supposed afterlife was questionable at best.”Let’s come up with a sign which you can send to me, just in case you make it to the pearly gates.”
“A Phoenix,” he said thoughtfully.
My amazing family graciously allowed me to do several things that I knew would help him on his final sojourn in this life:
Altar. The coffee table was perfect — our family gathered my father’s photos, his important possessions and a white candle.
Music. We set up a laptop playing classical music, Bach cello suites.
Lilies. They were placed near his head.
I closed my eyes & checked in on my guidance again. Both Mildred’s & Ben’s spirits were at the foot of Richard’s bed. His time was becoming shorter.
Finally it was time to pray. I pray best with my pencil. Sitting next to my father’s comatose body I drew his face, then the phoenix symbol … his parents, Mildred & Ben. As I drew, I prayed hard. As I prepared to draw a halo around his head I heard a startling “NO” in my mind … next I drew the doorway to Heaven, and on it, “Welcome.”
My husband bent down to whisper in my father’s ear, “we’re all here Richard, and complete, if you are. Your son & I can take care of the family. If you need to go … we have this covered. It’s ok to be free … love you always.” I closed my eyes & checked in on my guidance again: Mildred’s spirit had moved the head of her son’s bed. Just then the doorbell rang — Hospice was there for a visit.
Allowing them privacy, I walked through his wooded driveway, my mind numb. Then I felt a blanket of effervescent love energy wrap around me … Richard? Daddy? In my mind’s eye my father stood, wearing is favorite photographer’s vest and leather US Post Office satchel. Then he sent me that gift — it was a powerful feeling of unconditional love that permeated my soul. You see in life, my father was reserved with his affection, so feeling his love was truly priceless gift.
“Jane, come quick … Dad passed … just now!”
“Yes he did,” I thought to myself.
At his bedside I placed three lilies on his heart, roses around his head & rose petals over his body. As I picked up my pencil to pray with his body for the last time … my hand automatically drew a halo over my father’s head.
After three days he rose again, and that is when the phoenix signs began… and they were so frequent it was stupefying. We passed Phoenix, Oregon, on our way to Mount Shasta, Phoenix Red was the featured beer at dinner that night. My booth neighbor at the Shasta event sold T-shirts boldly sporting phoenix patterns, semi’s had phoenix emblems, Phoenix Roofing across the road, and on and on … no doubt … my father made it to Heaven.
Lesson #5 Reminder —love never dies. We never really loose our people — they are always with us & we can communicate with them! Ceremony & prayer are so important in helping souls at their time of transition from this world, on their journey Home.
Bug 19 is as much a virus of the body as the mind… and perhaps the soul! It infects people with fear, hopelessness and separation. My quiet time & deep prayer this summer was devoted to searching for some way to help with the profound suffering afflicting many of my family, friends and community. What came clearly into my consciousness was that Mother Nature always has an antidote. Mother Nature bats last!
I was guided to TONS of research on herbal remedies & to Psalm 91 (the reverse of 19). There is much wisdom in this short passage about overcoming fear & disease ... the antidote ... faith, the unequivocal understanding that we are NOT alone, our Creator is always with us. This spiritual realization and devotional practice is what will guide & protect us. Since it is written in old-fashioned language (and a little heavy on the patriarchal), I translated it into modern Divine Feminine. Here is the link: https://www.janesinspiration.com/antidote-no-91
My guidance that led me to TONS of research on herbal remedies both cutting edge and ancient wisdom … also led me to create "Antidote 91" tea, to help several dear ones in my life who have jab regret and side effects. More and more research is emerging about Mother Nature’s pharmacopeia and its effect on our health situation.

Is your soul ready to heal? Is it time to take your power back? In this three-part course, you will have a rare opportunity to experience three deep and powerful classic Shamanic journeys. From the Shaman’s perspective, fatigue, illness, depression, spiritual confusion and loss of abundance are symptoms of spiritual problems in the subtle realms—over time they can become physical. There are two major reasons for this: soul loss from past trauma and disconnection with spiritual guidance or a “Power Animal.” The Shaman’s solution is to help you collect & assimilate your lost soul fragments and find & reconnect with your Power Animal & guides.

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed, citizens can change the world. Indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.” - Margaret Mead
Dear friends,
I hope you are all doing well under these very difficult circumstances. This has been a trying time for us also. We are working hard at home and online … busy planting a garden and attempting to keep things as smooth as possible for our three daughters and my mother who lives with us. This time has also been a true gift … a wonderful time of deepening relationships and finishing unfinished business. I am optimistic about this time, that we can usher in a new age.
I don't think it takes a psychic to predict that things are going to change even more dramatically, and perhaps in the future we will mark history from pre- and post-bug19. From my conversations with this viral critter, I feel that we are not dealing with a naturally occurring entity. This virus has a metallic/machine feel — an angry, fire dragon/reptile quality. My encounter with this microscopic malevolent was beyond disturbing and brought me to weep deeply … for all of us.
This all feels extremely familiar to me, maybe a past life during the fall of another great civilization … ancient Rome, Egypt or perhaps Atlantis. Did I say fall of a civilization? Well at least, I fell this is a large event anyway, if we are to survive as a collective, we will need change our old ways and embrace a new paradigm — I really am optimistic that we can usher in a new age.
What I know for sure is that we are much more powerful than we are taught to believe: our prayers and heartfelt visualizations are powerful — with applied intentions, we can mold and shape the future. As a matter of fact I feel it is imperative that we come together now in focused compassion and do just that. This idea was the impetus for a Mother Earth-meditations on the new and full moon that I have started to do gratis — no shadow can sustain its power in The Light. We are that light.
“Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter.” - Yoda
Some unsolicited helpful suggestions, from my heart to yours:
Pay attention. Investigate alternative news sources and do some research. What is really going on is hidden in plain sight, hint; symbols, signs, numbers.
Immune support. Empower yourself by researching Mother Nature’s pharmacopeia of anti-virals and immune builders — please buy them now.
Plant a garden. You can plant seeds in containers, and veggie starts in raised beds. Get organic seeds, berry bushes and fertilizer — please consider doing it now.
Please stay safe and take good care of yourselves and your families. This is a complicated time for us all but we will get through it together. Courage to face fear requires the willingness to choose something other than being afraid; pray fervently, visualize boldly, be peace, take action, be your noble, honorable and luminous self … your light makes us all brighter. With the strength of our vulnerability and brilliance of our unconditional love, we will overcome.
“The imagination is the golden pathway to everywhere” - Terence McKenna
your friend,
Jane
These are trying times — we are in the midst of a pivotal historical period that will be studied for decades to come.
This is a unique moment, that we may never have again. Was there a moment when you wished the world would stop and you could have a minute to gather your thoughts? Perhaps the universe has capitulated. I encourage you to use this hiatus to nourish and feed yourself, I know it is natural to feel anxious, but it will do no good.
I also wanted to humbly offer some ideas about coping with our current situation:
One. Your Body. Consider making your body uninhabitable and unattractive for any virus. Perhaps consider some of Mother Nature’s natural anti-virus plants, such as: elderberry, ginger and medicinal mushrooms. By building your natural immunity you will have the best chance for repelling this nasty bug. Send love to yourself, your body and honor your self.
Two. Your Mind. Make your mind fear-proof. By cultivating an internal climate of love and compassion you will strengthen your field. Fear will weaken you. Consider a “news diet” and distance yourself from “general consensus reality” as this is only one interpretation of our daily experience. Be strong—you are a remarkable, powerful and multi-dimensional being.
Three. Your Soul. The eternal part of you is connected to higher guidance at all times — your intuition is the vehicle for accessing this wisdom. Whether through dreams, inner knowing, gut feeling or being cognizant of the signs, you will have accurate guidance for insight as well as being in the right place at the right time.
And here are some ideas about how to spend the next several weeks:
Pray, meditate and visualize healing light around Mother Earth, and all the living beings that are part of her ... including us. Be peace. Make an alter, do a ceremony invite your best future now.
Create from your heart, draw, paint, write, express your voice because your light makes us all brighter. When you create you are a creator ... your power aligns with the Great Mystery.
Go inside and be still. It is in that still place that you can connect to your soul, your eternal self. There you have access to knowledge … such as your life’s purpose while on this earthly sojourn.
Finish unfinished business. No better time … now.
Empower yourself … plant a garden, in pots, in the ground, just get something growing for later. Educate yourself about some natural herbs and mushrooms that are antiviral, antimicrobial, immune support, respiratory support. Have them handy.
As we near the sacred time of Easter, Passover and Spring Equinox, we are reminded of the death and rebirth symbolism that is prevalent in our modern religions and most ancient traditions. It cannot go on noticed that the central theme of the near-death experience teaches us the same thing—we don't die —that at the most fundamental level we are eternal and that well … God recycles.
May you be safe and healthy, your friend, Jane
“Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.”
- - Chief Seattle
As you will read in my blog articles as well as my upcoming book on animal communication, it is my fervent belief that we have the ability to talk and understand what nonhumans are saying.
I have learned many things from my foray with furry four-leggeds, and one thing I found most fascinating is that animals perceive everything as interconnected. Somehow, they have an innate understanding that they are part of the web and have a right to exist.
Let’s start with the basic strata of an animal’s existence; they operate on several different levels:
1. Instinct. A particular animal’s instinct, like a cat’s urge to hunt or a bird’s urge to make a nest, dies when the animal dies.
2. Personality. An individual animal’s personality-self is an aspect that seems to be influenced by a combination of the animal’s body and the soul.
3. Soul. A soul is an aspect that reincarnates and is eternal. Many times the same animal reincarnates within the lifetime of their human. This also includes a deeply bonded human-animal connection or a “soul-mate animal,” a relationship which can recur in recurring lifetimes.
4. Guide. A teacher or guide level — in this aspect, the animal seems to choose the person to teach the traits and wisdom that they most need to learn, develop, or embody.
5. Totem. An archetypal or totem aspect, which is a universal category that crosses cultural, historical and geographic boundaries. The animal’s totem energy is also used to symbolize essential ideas, such as the United States’ eagle, a family crest or a tribal totem pole.
6. Spirit. The level of a Goddess or God, represented within an animal form or an animal form mingled with the divine, such as a cat and a Goddess combined to be the Egyptian cat-Goddess Sekmet.
Some of the things that animals have told me are heartwarming, some shocking, and many things are downright wise. As an animal communicator I am honored to be able peek into the secret inner workings of the animal kingdom.
I was recently hired to communicate with a dog named Anubis. But it didn’t take an animal psychic to see that the Rottweiler was, at minimum, in a bad mood. He snarled and eyed me suspiciously while the dog’s human, Selene, shared her concerns about his health or perhaps a depression that her beloved pooch was suffering from.
I sat on the floor near Anubis and centered, following my breath. Then, I imagined myself connected to the web of all life (my secret formula and it relaxes the animal), and finally, asked for help from animal guides and angels.
Focusing my mind, I asked Anubis the dog what was wrong and waited for his answer. Soon imagery and feelings were flowing—I drew some red angled lines on my pad with crayon. Agitation filled my body—a crash, something had broken dramatically—I heard a loud bang and felt a commotion.
“Ok good job Anubis” I said out loud to the canine, and then reported my findings to Selene.
“Well we break wineglasses now and again, so maybe I dropped something on the floor. But certainly nothing out of the ordinary,” Selene said as she scoured her memory. “Nope, sorry Jane, nothing like that of significance.”
I looked back at the dog. I asked again slowly, directing my mind to contact the dog’s mind, “Why are you upset?” Again, in my head I psychically “heard” a loud crashing sound and felt a deep concern—empathically.
“Anubis is saying that a loud crashing sound upset him and that he is greatly concerned.” I took another run at it.
“Well, we live next to the railroad tracks, so maybe that’s it.” Anubis’s human is a kind person and wanted to make my information fit.
We continued with the animal communication session and addressed some other issues Anubis was having.
Selene called me several days later with a revelation—her elderly mother had fallen on the tile floor a week prior and broken her pelvic bone. Only the dog was home, he knew something was wrong and stayed by her mother’s side until the ambulance came.
Selene had an idea! She put the dog in her car and drove Anubis to the rehabilitation center for a visit with her elderly mother. It was hard to tell who was happier, she or the dog, and after some quality time together, the dog’s mood improved steadily; he began to eat and play again. Selene’s mother felt much better too.
To many of us, this is confirmation of animal intelligence, showing that they can understand complex situations and remember past events. But what touches my heart is the concern and compassionate that this canine companion truly had for his human.

Oregon Chapter President, International Association for Near Death Studies and Psychic Artist/Professional Intuitive, Author
1/27/2019 facilitated by Shelly Ellison
What happens when we die, based on your knowledge of Near-Death experiences and the information you have gathered as a professional intuitive?
From my experience and from my research, it seems that dying is a natural phase of the continuation of life. Something like the ancient symbol — the ouroboros, which is the symbol of the snake biting its own tail, making a complete circle. Other symbols of ancient and indigenous cultures tell us that death is merely one phase of life, and that life is ongoing. That is what I have found to be true. It also happens to be what people who die and are resuscitated (called Near-Death experiencers) and return to tell the story. As well, people who are under hypnosis report about how they experience life after physical death and their life before they reincarnated into this life on Earth.
In our modern, mechanized culture, we’ve lost the wisdom that we as humans have had for 60,000 or 100,000 years going back to the birth of the shamanic tradition. It’s as if we have amnesia in modern society.
The actual process of leaving the body and dying can happen instantly or over time. For example, an elder coming close to death will leave their body and prepare to make the journey back home. They can leave the body during a coma or Alzheimer’s, or through some kind of dreamy, far away, ‘out of it’ mindset. The elder is naturally practicing the journey home, which is something that cultures like the Tibetan Buddhists and the ancient Egyptians did — they had a road map of the afterlife and ‘practiced’ the journey home.
Some characteristics to look for that the elder or the person is close to death is they are talking about interacting with relatives who have died previously, yet they seem to be having conversations with them in real time. Another indication that death is near is the person may have symbolic dreams, like being at the train station with a waiting train, often with relatives who have died, beckoning them to get on the train to go home. Another iconic image is the ferry dock, with a waiting ferryman ready to take the person’s soul across the river, that divides this world and the afterlife, in ancient Egypt, it was the river Styx. The ferryman is an ancient symbol in many cultures, but sometimes it is angels or relatives that take the spirits of the dead across the river, and back home to Heaven. The ferrymen take the souls across the river, back to heaven. These are characteristics of someone who is at the end of life.
My grandmother, who was a devout atheist, and thought when you died, you died, spoke to her father, the day before her death as he floated at the ceiling in her hospital room. She described him as wearing a long stocking cap and a long white gown, as he would have worn at the turn of the 20th century when he lived. She was completely convinced he was here and she conversed with him, yet only she could see him. She said he was there, and was going to take her home. This is typical. Be aware of that when people are at the end of life — talking to dead relatives or angels, as well as the symbolic language of taking the journey home.
Sometimes I see the soul leaving the body gradually. It goes in and out, and then it’s finally gone. That happens to people who have been in an accident, or sometimes it happens with a heart attack.
What do you think would be most useful for people to know who work in a healthcare setting?
People who are in a coma, have Alzheimer’s or who may otherwise seem completely out of it, can hear everything you’re saying. People who have died temporarily or awakened from a coma, say that they could hear what people were saying and thinking, such as, ‘I heard you say I was going to kick the bucket.’ That kind of thing.
The soul’s journey is symbolized by the caterpillar transforming into a butterfly. That symbol is everywhere. It’s ubiquitous globally and throughout time. The underlying message is that the soul is freed from the confines of its Earthly costume. In a sense, it’s the death of the costume, or body only. But the costume does have consciousness; I will say that. I’ve come to respect the body’s consciousness more. Let’s put it this way. There are reasons why hundreds of traditions, all over the world, wait three days before destroying or burning the body. I agree with that. Leave the body for three days. Many cultures leave the body on the sofa or the bed for three days. Maybe people don’t want to do that, but please consider not cremating the body for three days. People get really upset when I say that in my lectures, but that’s what I have learned. There’s still life essence in it. I don’t believe it hurts the soul, but I think there’s some reason it could help to wait three days before burning the body.
Some really simple things that can be incorporated into the time at the end of life: Lilies. I always have lilies if there’s anyone I know who has died. There is something about the scent of lilies that is said to pass through the veil to those who have died. It was no accident that lilies are symbolic of the death and rebirth of Jesus at Easter. The lilies have a powerful fragrance and seem to help the soul during the transition. I’m it is helpful to create an altar or ‘focal point.’ It could be before the person transitions, but also after they die, to help the soul move from this dimension to another. Also I would presume, it would give the person who is transitioning hope that they are going to survive death and possibly give them an outline of a typical journey for people who do die and return to tell the story.
What we don’t teach people is to practice how to get home, to Heaven or the Afterlife. This is what I tell my parents and in my classes all of the time: When you die, you will not feel dead. You will feel quite alive, even to the point where it might annoy you that the people you are speaking to can’t hear you and are ignoring you. You’re still you. That’s how real it might feel. There’s often an angel or a guide or a relative present. If there isn’t one around, feel free to ask for help. There’s something to be said about asking for an angel or asking for help.
Typically, people go through a tunnel, a vortex, or a wormhole. I don’t know what it is, but it’s a thing, and people go through this and meet a light being that feels like a mother or father, spiritually. Or it could be Jesus if you’re a Christian, Buddha if you’re a Buddhist. It could be a Guardian Angel or God. That person (Being of Light) shows you a move of your entire life, which is sometimes called a “life review,” where you experience everything you’ve ever done, said, or thought, and its effect on people, animals, and plants. This realization is a bit of a reality check, and often inspires people to clean up their act.
I’m not sure how this works, but most people attend their own funerals and can hear the thoughts of anyone they want. Remember Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn attending their own funeral?
It seems that when we die, we don’t have the same bodily concerns, such as possessiveness, envy, or hatred. These negative emotions seem to die with the body, but I do see souls who are very remorseful for misdeeds, such as inflicting abuse, suffering and selfishness — that kind of thing.
Can you talk about love and how it transcends our worlds?
It seems that when people die and they go to meet their maker, they experience a love so profound, so accepting, that it feels like something they never experienced on Earth, except maybe with a dog. They know, unequivocally, that they are part of something greater and loved for exactly who they are, flaws and all. For people who have died and experienced this with their maker, they want nothing to do with coming back to Earth.
People and souls on both sides of the veil can communicated love the easiest, the love that is shared between people is never lost. Love never dies.
What about this idea of judgment? Is there someone or something making decisions about where the soul will go?
No one judges us on the other side. No judging God, or supernatural penal system. But no one goes to hell as far as I can see. But it does seem like we judge ourselves, sort of self evaluation. Like, how did we handle adversity, did we treat people well, that sort of thing.
The souls seem to have a well trodden path, after the life review, there is a reunion with loved ones and then a rest period. Souls seem to be busy in the Afterlife, it is organized and wonderful from what I have figured out.
Let’s transition to the concept of reincarnation, because that seems to be how it works based on the research of people doing past life regression and people like you who are talking to those on the other side. How did you come to accept that reincarnation is part of what happens when we die?
The perception of past personalities in clients isn’t Cleopatra or Mark Anthony, the past lives I am typically shown are of regular people. I see what looks like ‘layers’ within people’s energy that I realized were specific past lives, and that there was a continuity in these past lives that came through them like a toothpick through a layer cake, if you can imagine that. Often, people were suffering from things that impacted them [from previous lives] and they were resolving them in this lifetime. Often I could see a correlation between their previous physical death and a current birthmark. Isn’t that wild?
What I have learned it that it’s so much better to get that stuff straightened out in your current lifetime; you can do it faster here
It is, because I thought you were going to tell me that souls on the other side were giving you information about past lives.
I can often see it, and it has a real application in the readings. I don’t talk about it much with people in their readings, because it’s something we can’t prove. But if it’s prominent, I will see it, and I can see how it has an impact on this life. For example, I have a client who has a very difficult life and doesn’t seem to be able to hold on to physical possessions in this life. I could perceive that the client (now female) had had a prominent position of power in a past life (then male, possibly a Roman general) and she/he had misused her/his power. Now, in this lifetime, it appears the client is paying off the karma by being unable to hold on to money or power.
Can you tell us more about reincarnation and souls reincarnating as family groups?
That is something that I learned [from Michael Newton, PhD]. And it’s exactly what I see. He calls them pods, but it’s like we have communities or a soul family that we reincarnate with over and over again. We might take turns in different roles; your mother might be your daughter in your next lifetime or your husband from a former incarnation, might be your best friend. There are soul mates for sure — people that we continue to incarnate with in very close relationships. But a soul mate doesn’t have to be a partner. It can be a child or a best friend. A good analogy is that a lifetime on Earth is a movie or a play, and the soul group takes turns acting different characters. That’s the best way I can describe it.
Can you address this for someone who hasn’t considered reincarnation and who experienced a traditional Christian upbringing where you are on this Earth once, then you die and go to heaven and everyone is blissfully living together . . .
Well reincarnation isn’t a necessary philosophy to have in order to believe you are going to Heaven. Christians typically believe when they die that they are going upward to the gates of Eternity to be judged by God who will send them to Heaven or Hell. There are some variations like Seventh-Day Adventists who believe that you when you die, you will lay in your grave until Jesus returns, known as the second coming. Then the soul will be judged and allowed into heaven, or not. Many souls believe they are waiting for to get into heaven. It’s a real travesty and makes for a lot of ghosts.
Of all the different theories, what makes the most sense to me is that there are levels of heaven, like seventh heaven. The more advanced the soul, the closer the soul is to the divine creator. The Bible tells us that God made us in his image, yet we returned the favor and personify God as a human, an old man sitting on a cloud. But physics tells us that the spark of life is in all living things and we are swimming in this intelligent, conscience stuff, that is creation. I like to think we are inside of God, the creation and creator are one.
If the person who is dying is a Christian, best to then have them call for Jesus and have him guide them home to Heaven. They don’t have to believe in reincarnation if they don’t want to, although reincarnation was part of Christianity up until the third century and removed by Constantine at the Council of Nicaea.
Why aren’t we talking about this as a society — the ideas that are common to different religions?
If you look at it like we’re all cousins, it’s a nicer way to look at it. The Torah which is the holy scripture of the Jews, the Old Testament of the Bible and a good part of the Koran are basically the same. Noah, Genesis and of course Jesus. who was a Jewish Rabbi who preached God’s word and does miracles, same in all. The primary difference is that he is the only sun of God to the Christians. Maybe if people understood how close our spiritual traditions are they would be less likely to kill each other of it.
That could be set up in a hospital room.
Absolutely – it’s a place to focus on. Altars are really important. I like having a sacred place somewhere near the person who is dying. If they don’t like the word alter, call it a ‘centerpiece’ or ‘focal point’ ad photos of relatives who have gone before them. A picture of Jesus or deity of choice. And fresh flowers. I have a little cloth that my daughter wove; it has meaning. A candle or battery-powered candle would be brilliant, too.
Another thing I have done and encouraged people to do is set up a symbol or sign that your loved one has made it to the other side, like a hummingbird or a penny. My grandmother’s sign was a butterfly. My grandfather is an owl. It makes it much easier to communicate with your loved one on the other side.
Could we close by talking about how to quell the fear of death?
Well, that's a good question. The superstition of materialism makes creates a scientific mindset, with little room for the unproven theories of spiritual understanding, like eternal life. The western religions have a healthy dose of fear, mostly around Hell or not getting into Heaven. This is a complex question, but maybe read about NDEs, life-between-life hypnosis and/or try hypnosis maybe.
What practical suggestions do you have for people based on your experience?
Consistently what people on the other side want is for their loved ones to know is that they are fine; they are basically doing great. And please don’t grieve for them. Because it’s a waste of time on Earth, and the energy of grief is like a magnet and it hurts them.
Are you talking about an extended period of grief?
Yes. Typically it takes people about a year or so to grieve the loss of a loved one. What I’m talking about is this overwhelming sense of grief [that can last much longer]. Also, negative thoughts and resentments toward someone who has died affects them on the other side — I talk about that in my book. The punch line is, what souls would really like, is for some kind of altar or focal point to send loving thoughts to them, and to keep them close to your heart.
After we die, they do move on, deeper into the Afterlife. But they feel your love and you can call them and they will come; thinking about them and calling them does bring them, which is why I am able to have conversations with them on the other side. But their energy and focus is elsewhere. Those are the main things I’ve learned.
And one last thing for the living: enjoying your life and being joyful is what those on the other side want. They want us to be happy.
In my work I see people who are hungry for life's meaning and who are waking up to this ancient wisdom. I am encouraged and hopeful as our culture is also awakening to the deeper truth and spiritual meaning that underlie our physical existence. With knowledge comes power.
Have you ever wondered if there were more to the holidays we celebrate than simply tradition? Did our ancient ancestors preserve a narrative to guide us to live in harmony with spiritual truth and find what empowers us? Could there possibly be power in aligning with celestial forces to manifest and affect matter in this Earthly dimension?
Many of us gather on December 25 to celebrate Christmas, the Christian holiday commemorating the birth of Jesus, “The Light Of The World”, “The Son of God”, “The World's Savior”. It cannot go unnoticed that Jesus’s illustrious birth corresponds to our celestial sun’s illustrious birth on December 25th. On this day, our tilted Earth orbits furthest from our life-giving sun, causing the shortest day and the longest night of the year.
The sun progresses 1° per day, with Winter and Summer solstices marking the furthest points and the equinoxes marking the middle points. During the three days between December 21st and December 25 the sun is at its darkest ebb, and appears to stand still on the horizon at sunset, solstice has Latin roots, meaning "sun stand”. After those three days of “darkness,” the sun resumes its path, growing larger and larger, up to its apex at Summer solstice.
The Ancient Egyptians perceived the sun as a sentient being and as a resurrecting deity, personified as the hybrid male offspring, comprised of half god and half human. Begot by God’s seed or Holy Spirit, and born to a human virgin mother, the Christian son of God was the savior of humanity who brought the good news of eternal life. This theme of a resurrecting son of God, born to a virgin mother on Dec 25th, is known by many names besides Jesus — here are a few:
Egyptian God-Man Horus, born Winter Solstice of The Virgin Mother Isis.
Greco-Roman God-Man Mithras, born Dec 25th of The Virgin Mother Amanita.
Hindu God-Man Krishna, born Dec 25th (and other days) of The Virgin Mother Devaki.
Buddhist God-Man Buddha, born Dec 25th (and other days) of The Virgin Mother Maya.
Babylonian God-Man Tammuz, born Dec 25th (and other days) of The Virgin Mother Ishtar.
From the vantage point of the early 21st-century, it seems our culture is rich in material things and bankrupt in great wisdom. But things were not always this way — in ancient times, architecture and allegory were teaching tools employed to instill guidance and solace for this earthly sojourn. As Descartes ushered in the Age of Enlightenment in the 1600’s, we replaced the mythical and symbolic mind with the logical and scientific mode of thinking. But did we throw out the baby with the bathwater?
This question has haunted me since I was young, and is what provoked me to research indigenous and religious traditions and spiritual philosophies around the globe. My investigations took me from the megalithic structures of ancient Egypt, England and Mexico to the myths of the ancient Romans, Meso-Americans and Chinese. My conclusion? The epic struggle between the darkness and light of earthly existence, as well as the inevitability of physical death and the promise of everlasting life, are ubiquitous as central themes.
This annual celebration of the sun’s death and rebirth or resurrection, embodies the theme of our life on Earth. It represents our descent from our “real” home (with “God” in the Spirit World or Afterlife) into 3-D matter and incarnation in the physical world, or Earth, and back again. This important wisdom has been taught through stories and celebrated throughout history during the solstices and equinoxes. In our current paradigm, these guiding principles have all been all but lost. And the cornerstone of wisdom that, we are eternal spiritual beings who are reborn of this world, has been all but eclipsed.
With the generous gift of the return of “The Son/sun of God”, and his nursing rays, Mother Earth would sprout her seeds, her crops grow and people could survive. By understanding the symbols that are hidden in plain sight, we can have access to timeless wisdom to help guide our life, plant our heart’s desire, and have faith and confidence that we are eternal. It is reassuring that the season’s feelings of generosity and the “Spirit of Giving” that was revered by the ancients is still alive and well today.

“If you want children to continue dreaming to the moon and beyond, then dream with them, both by sharing your fervent dreams, and by diving heart first into their own.”
~Vince Gowmon
As a child, I conversed with imaginary beings, invented entire worlds for my friends and me to explore, and dreamt up countless stories. I was fortunate to have the loving support of my parents and wonderful teachers who encouraged and enjoyed all that was born from my overflowing imagination.
I remember, however, how quickly things began to change as elementary school came to a close. The focus shifted from creative exploration to preparing for the difficulty of higher grades and the “real life” that followed. Less daydreaming, more standardized testing.
Once I’d found myself on the other side of my education years later, I was drawn very quickly to the world of spirituality, perhaps hoping to recapture that magic and fulfillment I’d known as a child. I find it interesting that so much that fascinates us in the spiritual community -- psychic intuition, angels and guides, past life memories -- are such a natural part of the experience of children!
I’m now the father of a bright, 9-month-old son who has already begun showing signs of intuitive intelligence, and I can’t wait for the day he has the words to tell me all that he knows and all he can see.
With the right tools and support, I wonder if all of us could enter adulthood with our intuitive gifts intact. That’s why I’m so grateful New Renaissance’s beloved intuitive Jane de Forest is offering her new class, Nurturing Intuition: A Workshop for Kids and their Parents this Saturday, October 27th. **Children must be accompanied by parent or guardian, and parents and guardians get to attend free!**
It was a joy to connect with Jane and hear her take on the intuition of children, as well as what she has planned for the workshop and her group reading event, Messages From Beyond, which will next be on Friday, October 26th and Thursday, November 1st.
Children are naturally intuitive and psychic by nature; they arrive on earth with an open channel to the subtle dimensions. This window typically closes around age seven, when the world of magic is left behind for a rational and material one. Although, a new type of children with increased psychic abilities and spiritual knowledge is incarnating now who may keep the window open longer.
Past life experiences are commonly expressed by children when they are just able to talk, often describing who they were when they were “big before”, where they lived and how they died.
Although invisible friends are considered fantasy, from my vantage point, they are ancestors, Spirit Guides and Angels.
With a little training, parents can nurture their children’s intuitive ability, enabling deep personal and spiritual confidence. Here are some basics:
1. Show that you (and other adults) accept their unseen world.
2. Read fairy tales. These are important for creating a safe place for magical thinking, flying, Angels and aliens, talking animals and trees, fairies and elves. This strengthens the limbic system, the primary seat of creative thought in the brain.
3. Be in dynamic relationship with Spirit Guides, Angels and nature spirits -- build fairy houses, write letters to elves, ask trees what they are thinking, etc.
You will learn techniques to use at home to cultivate a platform for your child to maintain their natural intuition and psychic ability, including: a guided meditation for your child to talk to their Guide and draw them; how to attract and communicate with fairies, gnomes and elves; and how to deal with “Boogie Men” and other undesirables, often found under beds and in closets.
This is so dear to my heart. I have volunteered for ten years in public schools teaching children creative development. I feel it is the solution to a world gone mad; to grow a better world we need to start with the children.
Messages From Beyond is a monthly event where I communicate with loved ones and animals on the other side of life. I create a “drawbridge” with my automatic drawing technique which allows me to access the subtle realms easily and with great accuracy.
On one occasion, a young daughter who had died in an accident came through from Heaven with specific details that I rendered on my drawing pad. She described the care her family had taken at her funeral and the color of the flowers. They confirmed each detail as the girl communicated clearly, and although the family was suffering from her loss, they were comforted to know that she lived on and that their love would never die.
We have had many dogs and cats as well as a horse showing up from the afterlife to comfort their owners. It is a wonderful experience to feel the love in the room filling the space.
Not a session goes by that is not deeply moving and touching to the many people in the room. I am grateful to create a bridge from this world to Heaven; it is a profound honor.
Please bring your imagination, and join Jane for her wonderful events at New Renaissance.
Blessings,
David

This year on September 22nd, night and day are in perfect balance as the Earth makes her annual sojourn around our Sun. Fall Equinox is the time for celebrating with gratitude the abundance of the harvest we have reaped in our lives.
Our ancient forebears celebrated this important marker with ceremony. They believed that thanking the Earth and all her bounty, honoring the Gods, as well as celebrating this special season, was important.
From The Great Pyramid in Egypt, to Stonehenge in England, to Chichen Itza in Mexico and Chaco Canyon in the U.S., our ancient ancestors aligned their sublime architecture with the Fall Equinox.
The Autumnal Equinox is the “hour hand” that tells us what time it is in the Great Year. Just as we can tell the hour of the day by noticing how high or low the sun is in the sky, so do we tell time in the 26,000-year precession cycle by noticing the position of the sun on this equinox relative to the twelve ancient constellations of the zodiac.
Our Thanksgiving holiday reflects the Fall Equinox harvest ceremonies of our ancient ancestors in the Northern Hemisphere. But little else about the last quarter of the year is known today, although it was an important time for ancient cultures.
The advent of cold weather causes many in the animal world to hibernate and the plant world to die off. As we descend into this darkness, we symbolically hibernate also and go deeply into ourselves. Our ancient ancestors saw this as a time of symbolic death, when the Earth Goddess or Vegetation God gave up its vital force — dropping the once-living leaves and stems to the ground, or being cut with a scythe for harvest.
One of the best known mystery schools of the ancient world was at Eleusis in Greece, called the Eleusinian Mystery School. Scholars believe that the mystery schools system for training initiates did not originate in Greece; arguably there were more ancient ones in Egypt, Crete and pre-Columbian indigenous cultures. Not much is known about mystery school ceremonies, because they were protected by an oath of secrecy punishable by death.
Nevertheless, the few scraps of information we do know are fasinating. Their most important ceremonies were held at the Fall Equinox, which was a potent ritual. The initiates would probably consume some kind of hallucinogenic beverage in the temple and experience a symbolic death. They would then be taken metaphorically to the Underworld, which had nine levels, to experience the negative aspect of existence. Initiates would then be guided to heavenly realms, called the Elysian Fields, where there was unconditional love, acceptance by the Gods and great beauty. This was both an instruction on how to live well in this world and also the promise of what to expect in the afterlife IF the initiate behaved in accordance with divine principles (karma).
Most all ancient and indigenous cultures understood that we are composed of two aspects while residing on the Earth plane: of spirit and matter, that is to say, the spark of God which animates the earthen clay vessel that is our physical body. These philosophies or religious understandings saw that the light (or our soul) descends into matter to form a physical incarnation that has the express goal of enlightenment.
This last quarter of the year, starting with Fall Equinox and going ending with Winter Solstice, is the time of year when we can heal, releasing all aspects of our negative earthly existence, such as ego, resentment, hatred, materialism, lust and so forth. Now is the perfect time of year to let go of whatever obstacles are holding you back and blocking your progress to enlightenment and transformation. Take a moment to write those things down on a piece of paper and burn them in a thoughtful ceremony on September 22nd.
Ceremony was a vital aspect of our ancient ancestors’ lives. Most of the megalithic temples were built over electromagnetic anomalies or “lay lines” and natural aquifers. These megalithic structures were built with stone rich with magnetite and crystalline composition, in order to manipulate the natural flow of electro-magnetic current, which created a field that enhanced an altered state of consciousness for initiates.
Stonehenge, for example, is built over an electro-magnetic anomaly, with stones lined up with the magnetic north facing the magnetic south of the next stone. Ultimately, the structure forms a giant magnet with a measurable field. It’s also interesting to note that NASA records reveal that geomagnetic activity on our planet is most likely to happen around the Spring and Fall Equinoxes, events that would directly greatly impact sacred sites.
This combination of cutting-edge science and ancient knowledge has contributed to the popular hypothesis that these structures, in combination with sacred ceremony, created a real energetic portal allowing the initiate to travel to the realm of the Gods.
During my own experience in the Great Pyramid of Giza on the Spring Equinox (it is built over a natural waterway, encased in limestone, its inner chambers is constructed with a granite rich in magnetite and crystals), many of us spent private time in the King’s Chamber taking turns in the rose granite box. And a number of people who did this had powerful visionary experiences or encounters with spirit guides and teachers.
From my study of the near-death experience, I have come to believe that there may have been an aspect of this “journey to the light” that may have been incorporated into the rituals of our ancient ancestors. The theme of birth-death-rebirth is ubiquitous in all religions and symbolizes not physical death per se but the death of our earthly constraints of ego and materialism and mis-directed life-force energy. This is the symbolic understanding of the annual cycle of the Earth, represented by the primary markers that designate the four quarters: Winter Solstice, Spring Equinox, Summer Solstice and Fall Equinox.
In our busy work-a-day world we have a little opportunity to honor with gratitude our life’s abundance and the spiritual journey on this Earth plane that is so important. As initiates in the Mystery School of Life, while we are tasked with enlightenment, we lack the advantage of the organized systems known to our ancient ancestors.
For that reason I have chosen to take the time and effort to create a presentation and ceremony for you, gratis. I will go into detail about my research on the importance of the Fall Equinox and the last quarter of the year this Friday.
Please join me at New Renaissance Bookshop, 1338 NW 23th Ave, Portland, on the eve of the Equinox for this free event. I offer this as my sincere service to making the Earth a better place. Please bring nonperishable food items that we will donate to our local food bank.

Jane's Inspiration, LLC provides intuitive business and personal consultations, Jane deForest, an artist, intuitive and workshop facilitator. Workshops, seminars and classes are also available, featuring Jane's techniques for meditation, mindfulness, spiritual growth and life balance.
Her book, Adventures of a Reluctant Intuitive. A story of a psychic, clairvoyant, empath, intuitive medium who reluctantly discovers her gift and uses it to help people heal themselves and their relationships. In large part she helps people find their way back on to their spiritual paths, connect with what is authentic within them and create a positive future. She discovers that she is a medium, enabling her to communicate with spirits on the other side (after death communication), can understand what some animals are saying telepathically (animal communication) and she is able to see remotely (remote view) events in the past, present and potential future. Through telepathic communication with souls who have died and transitioned Home to Heaven, she is able to deliver messages to their grieving loved ones who remain behind, bringing hope and comfort.
Although she is not a psychic fortuneteller, she is able to see potential future events and they're changing nature. This discovery brings her ultimately to the understanding that the future is malleable and in great part dependent on the choices that people make in each moment. A person’s choice to forgive and love or to resent and hate will open doors of opportunity or slam them shut as well as create residual real life effects (karma, the golden rule, what-goes-around-comes-around). She is able to see in real time how what people think and feel about others, their life circumstances and their spiritual life colors their tomorrow.
She is able to also help business people survive, prosper and negotiate through the uncertain terrain of the corporate and small business world. Her exceptional psychic & intuitive skill enables her to "see" the potential success of certain ventures and the best strategies for new projects.
Her ability to communicate with animals, especially horses, captures the reader who loves animals. This provides a fascinating look at the intelligence and dignity of the animal world.
