Dromoland Castle, Ireland  March 30
Dromoland Castle in county Clare was original a stronghold is now a 5 star hotel and close to Shannon Airport. It is still owned by O’Briens,  my ancestors. I am first generation Canadian. Mom, Elizabeth O’Brien came to Canada around the age of 8 years.
As we entered the hotel they have portraits of family on the walls. Wow what an elated feeling to see and connect with all these paintings. I sat in awe, fascinating to be able to identify who was similar in appearance to my immediate family members. As I gazed at each portrait I could see Aunt Margaret, Uncle Jim, Uncle Jack, Aunt Nancy. I sat in the lobby just absorbing the energy and enjoying the overwhelming feeling of remembering all the family stories I heard growing up. I was here and it was grand.
Let me give you a little history Brians Baroimbe (Boru) was High King of Ireland 11 century renown for his defeat of the Danes in 1014. He was forced to surrender to King Henry V111 in the 16th Century and demoted to Baron of Inchquin and 1st Earl of Thomond. The castle had been destined for demolition but it was rescinded due to the kindness and his fair and benevolent treatment of the tenants.
I officiated a wedding, in Toronto for an East Indian princess with dignitaries from around the world. I discovered afterwards that the present O’Brien owner of Dromoland  Castle  had been in attendance. I was disappointed that I did not have to opportunity to speak to them. That would have been wonderful to meet a distant relative.  
 Our family history often shows up in our attitude and temperament even in our wants and desires in life. I think it is exciting when individuals look into a family background and discover how it impacts the present life. That is also why I often encourage Past Life Regression to discover whys and impact of fears, phobias and patterning that can have a negative or positive effect on this life. When we address them, the effect can be changed and Karma can be released to live in a state of GRACE.                    In love and light

 
Newry, Northern Ireland    March 29
My mothers’ family came from Northern Ireland, County Derry, but today the family is spread out all over the country. For my 30 birthday I went for a month long tour of Ireland with my Grandmother Lily, Uncle Eddie and Aunt Margaret.
On our travels we stayed in the border town of Newry, on the east coast.  Rifles and semi-automatic guns are at the borders as they check on pass ports and inquire as to your travel destinations.  We don’t hear a lot about the unrest in Ireland but let me assure you we saw enough of it during our month there. We did not always have reservations as we were touring the entire country to visit relatives.
We decided on a country estate close to the border in Newry. It was a beautiful spot and we had a wonderful dinner. I was craving corn and a hamburger and they were both on the menu. Most of our meals were  local fare and always delicious with 2 or 3 different kind of potatoes and YES nothing like our spuds for flavour. I howled when my order arrived half a cob of corn out of a can, a Pork hamburger. We retired to our rooms about 9:30pm. An hour later I called Uncle Eddie and asked him to meet me in the bar. Something was wrong and I couldn’t explain why I was so agitated. We discreetly asked about the area and any occurrences as of late. We received no insight. I had a couple of drinks hoping it would help me sleep. No such luck. I lay awake all night agitated. Eddie was in the dining room as we arrived for breakfast. He had a pleasant chat with the manager and had discovered the estate had recently been reopened as it had been bombed.   My spidy senses were right. Always trust your instincts.  First thought is always higher self. 2nd thoughts your conscious mind trying to control   in love and light

No Interfering
Sam worked in the Endocrine Dept at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. One day she asked for a favour. One of the young adolescent patient being treated for not growing in statue was of major concern. Would I tune in and see if I could help to find a solution and explain how to help.
I stated that they were giving him artificial pig hormones and his body was not accepting them.  I said if they gave him the natural product it would work. She said she would check and let me know. Sam is a nurse and gently inquired of the Doctor in charge if the treatment was artificial hormones. He stated it was. She inquired about the possibility of the issue being that he was being given- artificial instead of natural. The Dr was stern with her and stated that was what the TRAILS were about and it would remain that way.  She was reminded it was her job to follow orders and not question his authority.
I mention this only as I have always felt bad that I had no way of assisting when I knew the outcome for this young person could be changed. We have no right to interfere in the lives of other who have NOT REQUESTED our assistance. There are times as a medium you need to stand back and allow the course of action to unfold without interfering. Sam and I both struggled with the knowledge and had considered taking the parents aside The repercussions could have been enormous, including Sam losing her job. Sad but that is Natural law and how big pharmaceutical products get information on products being sold and hospitals get funding. I find it extremely difficult in times when I know the medical code is “DO NO Harm”                  In love and light

Therapeutic Touch 28
My friend Sam was a nurse in the Endocrine Dept of Sick Kids in Toronto. She invited me to join the nurses to learn Therapeutic Touch. Our numbers were odd so the instructor invited me to do my practice on her. Now let me share that when I do course I never go in and tell anyone what I do. I am respectful and wish to learn as a student.
When I finished the exercise, our instructor turned to me and inquired as to what I do. I said I do a variety of things. Why do you ask?  She informed me that only once before had she had someone do TT on her and she saw Angels. She saw Angels while I was working. I smiled and said yes I work with them. I also explained some of what I do.  It turned out to be a very nice friendship. If you come to any of my workshops you often will see angels in the room.
As a result of this workshop I met a lot of lovely nurses that worked in the hospital. I would get call occasionally from one of these lovely ladies asking me to help those who were emotionally distraught. Often it was when a parent was having emotional issues surrounding giving a child permission to cross or understanding why this had happened. I would glad share the wisdom of spirit to assist them to understand what was happening. It could be difficult as an empath, but honoured spirit gave me the insight to assist them. Most of these lovely ladies are not longer there so my assistance is no longer needed.        In love and light

Blog: Pearls of Wisdom
Battle of Ridgeway 1866
I was called to a home outside of Ridgeway, Ontario, Canada as the mother Joan  and  young daughter (3 yrs of age) Mary kept seeing a soldier in the house and he would  look at Mary while she was in bed. The daughter refused to sleep in her own bed. These home owners were doing renovations to the house and opening walls to removed them and make a room larger.
When I entered the front bedroom I was aware of the solider immediately. I started a conversation to inquire as to why he was remaining in this room and in the house? He was very pleasant young man but obvious taken back that I could have a conversation with him as he had not been able to talk to anyone in a very long time. I explained who I was and that I was there to try to assist him as well.
He explained that he was badly wounded in the Battle of Ridgeway. The owners of the house took him and to hide him and tried to help him while he healed. He was in his early 20’s from what I remember. He was an American soldier. They had taken his Rifle, cup and dog tags and placed them in the wall to hide them, for safe keeping and in case anyone came to question him. Unfortunately he died and so he has been residing there ever since.
The next owners of the house had removed his rifle etc. during a renovation and he was very upset that it had been taken. Now these home owners were doing more renovation and it was agitating the solider even more. So, he had been wandering through the house fretting about the removal of his equipment. He gave me his named, badge and regiment number from upper New York State and I passed it on to the family living in the house.
 I then went on to explain that he had passed and it was 100 years after the battle. His wandering through the house was scaring the daughter of the new owners. I assisted him into the light. I checked back with them a few weeks later and there was no more sightings of the solider.
The exciting part was that Pam, the new home owner had gone across the border to the library and checked the soldiers Regiment, name and badge number. The irony was that at the same time she was doing a family Tree and he was a 2nd cousin. I believe that everything happens for a reason.

Peru: Healing of Dan   March 26
It was raining again as we headed another hour through the jungle to a temple elevated high up in the jungle. We were told to be cautious crossing the small tributary of the Amazon River as alligators and snakes would be out. We had to climb a steep set of slippery stairs to the top of the hill. The temple was a large open wooden structure with benches built along the walls. The roof was thatched. An alter was at the far end to hold all the sacred objects.
I was sitting on the bench next to Dan on one side and Nancy on the other. It was hard and uncomfortable. Once into the ceremony you forgot all of that.  Again Don Augustine played his flute, drum and danced for about an hour after he gave us the Ayahuasca. This time as he gave it to me, he said drink more, you are not taking enough. I must state it is not a pleasant taste. More like soured wine gone bad.
It was sitting on the bench next to Dan who had Leukemia. The ceremony was in full swing for about an hour when I also notice a jaguar sitting between Dan and myself. I spoke to the Jaguar and asked why he was there. He said I am here to protect you.  I was very surprised and should have asked from WHAT? I didn’t. That was a lost opportunity I regret.  As I glanced at the Jaguar I also saw this large oddly shaped puddle on the ground directly behind him. At first glance I thought it was another Jaguar.  It wasn’t.
I was mesmerized at how many moneys and jaguars in spirit were running through and around the temple. Fascinating to watch the moneys swinging to and  from the rafters and on the pole of the outside walls. Outside the Mayans spirits were at least three and four deep surrounding the temple excited to watch the reaction of our group to being aware and connect through jungle medicine. I was in awe, never had I seen such spiritual accompaniment. I can still close my eyes and see them all.
When the ceremony was over the Shaman, Don Augustine came over and asked if Dan saw the puddle on the ground? Dan replied with NO. I said I did, and what is it? Don went on to explain that it was his bad blood of the Leukemia on the ground and he received a healing during the ceremony.  This ceremony went on twice as long as any of the others. As some were enjoying the vision of the opening of the pineal gland and they went up to the altar for second round to say in this state. It was a wondrous ceremony, since I see spirit already, once was enough for me. Still in awe every time I revisit the experience. On a number of occasions when I am working through a problem/issue or trying to resolve something, I have had “Mother Ayhuasca” come to visit and assist with finding the solution. Connecting to spirit is ongoing, wonderful I am truly blessed.   In love and light

Peru: Healing of Diane.   March 25

Don Augustine, the Shaman was in his mid seventies when I was in Peru. He was amazing to watch with his agility and energy. During the ceremony he started with playing his flute and drum for an hour after we were given the Ayahuasca. Uzalada (my door keeper, in spirit) was jumping up and down and excited about my education in the ways of the jungles.(  I am condensing my story  to the main facts for the reader.)
In one of the ceremonies with Ayahuasca Diane asked me to be one of the six individuals to assist in the healing: three on each side and a Shaman at both ends. I was delighted and honoured to be a party to this. Each ceremony went on for 3 to 4 hours. 
 Diane was asked to lie on the floor. The helpers were to be on the floor next to her. Don Augustine was at her head and the other Shaman, Susan was at her feet.I was alone at the center on her right side. Only three of the six could get on the floor, the other three were sick or paralyzed by the affects of the Ayahuasca. The air was energized and magical.  Don Augustine had a twitch from the jungle in his right hand and pointed it at the breast that had the cancer. I watch as bolts of energy went from the twitch into the breast. AMAZING.
Diane started to exit her body spiritually. I grabbed her hand and said Diane you need to stay present in the body to heal. So the spirit withdrew back into the body.Suddenly, I looked up and  across from me was a Mayan with a dragon mask on( in spirit). I looked at him and said you need to leave, your not welcome here. The role of leader often has me stepping up to the plate to protect others. He stated he was here to assist Don Augustine.  I said oh and shut up.
In a split second the Mayan reached across to the cancerous breast and pulled a large black glob  the size of a baseball from her breast. I knew instantly this was the cancer and it had been removed. This was the beginning of healing the spirit. Diane spent many days of Banana leaves and special local mud packs placed on the area. She was also taken to a  local mineral  mud bath to assist with healing the entire body.This was just the beginning of healing for many in our group.
I am still in awe when I think about all these experiences.         in love and light
 

First day - Ayahuasca
We had another new experience the next morning. We were gathered to watch as the locals gathered a special Nut/Berry. It was green and the size of an orange. They mashed it and added other ingredients. Don Augustine (the Shaman) explained that we were to put this all over our bodies as it would kill at the parasite within the body. He also explained that if you put it on grey hair. The hair would return to the original colour. Some were excited over that aspect. Well we did as we were told. We also were given a milk like substance to kill everything internally. Believe me it didn’t taste like milk. Yuck. Anyway the result was within a half hour we were eliminating from both ends. Not a pretty sight. Since there were so many he showed us the open field they wanted fertilized for future use, that we were welcome to use. Yes, no privacy.
As I said this was going to be an usual adventure. So our bodies turned Blue. Just like the BLUE MEN ON THE DRUMS . Apparently it would take a few weeks to wear off. Later in Lima Peru t he locals all knew who was in the jungle by our blue skin. At home one night I got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and I heard a voice in the dark , oh my God, scared my son as I was still blue under clothing.
Later that night we did a ceremony. The rain was teeming down so we did the first ceremony within the enclosed building. Early in the afternoon, I went into the jungle to watch the Shamans helpers prepared the drink for the ceremony that night. It was explained the vine used was believed to be from Heaven and it was mixed with a few others plants. It was heated over an open fire to bend. They called in Ayahuasca. So that evening as Don Augustine was giving us all a sip of the mixture. Uzalada ( my doorkeeper) was jumping up and down in excitement again. I was learning more about the ways of the jungle along with RITUALS. Oh boy, eliminating from both ends again. Then a feeling of being partly paralyzed overcame me. The ceremony lasts approx 3 hours. Time flies during these rituals, is all I can say.
Ayahuasca opens the pineal gland for a fuller vision of the information being given to you. I discovered that this group had been together in the jungles in another life time. We were the cause of Joyce’s’ death in that life time and as a result we were required to help her with the healing process this time: Karma, what goes around comes around.  She left the jungle much better than when she entered. The adventure continues.
Ayahuasca is actually herbal mixture. They believe that the spirit Mother Ayahuasca is from the heaven and the spirit of the vine who assists those who take the mixture to have clearer vision. It is a tradition in Peru. The locals do it often as it is an initiation process. In love and light

Leaving  for Peru  March 23
My friend Janet called to tell me about a spiritual trip into the jungles of Peru. As I stood there talking on the phone, Uzalada, (my gate keeper) stood in front of me jumping up and down encouraging me to go. I called Susan the Shaman in charge. Her first response was: we are fully booked this trip.  What do you do?  Well, I explain my abilities and my qualifications. Her response was: you’d be an asset. Yes you are welcome to join us.
We are meeting at such and such on this date. Well the meeting never took place. I now know why. Had I of known of what was in store I don’t believe I would have gone .To say the least I can be a prude. I gathered my supplies, met them at the airport and we arrive at Lima Peru. We took a 3 hour boat ride up the Amazon River to a small native community. This community delivered fresh baked buns for all our daily meals. We had to walk a mile into the jungle. That was when we discovered one of the ladies Joyce, lied about the trip. This was an omen to some of the work to be done in the future. I knew we were off to a very interesting journey as Susan the Shaman was very angry. Not a good start. They had to hire 4 men from the local village to carry Joyce in a wooden chair into the jungle and it was getting dark.
The young children, ages eight and up put our suitcases on their heads and we running thru the jungle to our destination.  I ran with the children as the darkness was fast approaching and I could see a jaguar on the path beside ours following us through the jungle. Knew the children were aware but don’t know if anyone else saw it. I was going to stay with the locals so I ran to keep up with them. Whew they were nimble and fast even with the luggage on their heads. Part of our crew got lost as they were slow and they had to send locals back out to find them.
It was the 100 hectare retreat of the Shaman Don Augustine on a tributary of the Amazon on stilts with wooden walkways between the buildings, in the middle of the jungle with a watering hole for a bath. The building was made of local wood and did have a door with wooden beds and a small piece of foam for a mattress along with a net to keep bugs out. The bugs were awful and they encourage everyone to smoke to keep bugs at bay. They lit oil lamps and we were given information as to ceremonies, meals, what to wear. Washrooms were at the end of the walkway, NO DOORS and everyone uses them.  No privacy. We were all in this together. The kitchen was an open air kitchen with a 5 gallon container of drinking water and it had cats claw in it to help anyone with healing.
 The three people that came for major healing: Cancer, leukemia and not able to walk, were placed in individual shelters away from the main lodge so that the Shamans could also work with them separately.  Oh, I knew at the end of the first day that this was going to be a very interesting trip..   Love and light

 Many Kinds of Love   March 22
Two years after Tom passed I received a phone call on a Saturday Morning. It was a Private Investigator. She asked for me by maiden name and I replied to yes that was me. I inquired as to why she was looking for me? She said we had a mutual friend who wanted to make sure you and your children are ok. I said “What does John want?” She asked how did you know and  I replied: You can’t have a birthday on the same day and year and not know when someone was thinking about you.
John was someone I dated long before Tom and we went our separate ways. I was not ready to settle down when he asked me to marry him. I was still emotionally healing from the first marriage. I had a board meeting that day in Toronto and we met for a drink after my meeting. It had been approx 16 years since I had seen him.
We dated and semi lived together for the first year. I went off into the jungles of Peru to heal from my loss. In the jungles of Peru I had this conversation with spirit. You should marry John. No, I am happy  with the status quo and  I do not wish to remarry. I do not wish to change my name. Nor do I want my children to have to deal with a different names within the family. I came from a community where growing up a lot of that occurred and I saw the impact on many families. I will not do that to them.       Ah , but HE NEEDS IT. Simple, marry him and do not change your name.
I came home from Peru and asked if he still wanted to be married. He set the date and we were married with our best friends attending and James and Truly standing up for us. Of course since all our birthdays are on 27, John chose November 27.  No one will forget the date.
So let me share the solution to the names problem. Everyone called John –Mr Folkes. A year later he came home with forms to official change his name. He decided on his own that this was a very simple solution. He is now my “John James Folkes”. See love takes care of everything. I am truly blessed with another love to continue on with.            In love and light

Signs of Getting ready to Cross. March 20
When we love someone deeply we can choose NOT TO LISTEN to the words being spoken.
This is a hard one for many to know. They may actually say. No, I won’t see you tomorrow/I won’t be here next visit. Sometimes we dismiss this statement and reply with a laugh or oh right. Please take the next statement with the insight and love I am sharing and do not feel this is about material issues as it is not. It is about taking care of business on behalf all family.
Make sure the legal will is in the hands of those who will deal with it appropriately. I have seen too many families ripped apart and squabble over money, possession and even the wishes of loved ones being ignored. Enough said.
One of the first sings that an individual is preparing to leave is giving their precious possessions away. Now this could be close or a few weeks away. Higher self knows when the body is preparing. They might not know it consciously, however, I believe they are not saying to openly but are very aware. They may not want to share these with family. The second one is telling you what they want for a funeral service etc.
Personal experience.
I was writing exams on Horticulture as I was a Humber College .I studying and Tom called me into the living room and ask me to watch The John Candy special being present in Toronto after his passing.
As I sat there he said I do not want a Police Funeral. I replied with oh Tom, you have 25 years on the force. Why would you even say that? He was an excellent police office and respected by many.He raised his voice a few octaves and said. Al are you listening to me. I do not want a Police Funeral and especially no one in uniform. I have become disillusioned with the attitude of those in charge and those are my wishes.  So, I stated I hear you and I am listening.
Little did I know the next day he would pass with a heart attack?  I made a lot of Toronto officers angry including his Supervisor at the time. When I spoke to her I shared his wishes and told her her if they showed up in uniform I would personally escort them out. She replied wit,h you won’t. I said don’t try me on for size. I would and am very capable.
However, his wishes were followed and I did change one wish I wanted 2 of his friends in uniform as Guards. I felt after 25 years his work needed to be represented.   Today is the anniversary.   In love and light

​Permission to Cross. March 19
Food for Thought. Sometimes our very  ill loved ones hang in to say good bye to someone they haven’t seen in a while. That is their choice. Perhaps you aren’t ready to let them go. When we have a family member young or old at deaths door and they are suffering, it is everyone’s best interest to give them permission to cross. I have seen too many elder hang in because a family member doesn’t want them to leave them. I get it. We love them. If you are in this situation I recommend talking to the person and telling them how much you love them. What they mean to you and then give them permission to cross.
 
I used to get phone calls from a few nurses at Children Hospital asking me to speak to the parents of a serious ill child. I would tune in and share the insights the child would give me. Pain, suffering, how the parents well so emotionally distraught the child felt it needed to stay in the physical for a longer period of time than was necessary. Other times it was a new born and I would explain, that the health would be very poor and so it needed permission to let go of life. They were often difficult situations for all involved.
So my request is. Think about the individual who is ill. Do they need to be here suffering. No! Please give them the opportunity to cross if that is their wish. Do not hold onto the inevitable. In love and light

 Proof of Communication           March 18
I was asked to by a good acquaintance to come to their home to comfort her dying father John  and to assist him to cross. I arrived just after he crossed.  I stayed to prepared the funeral service.  He was an International Vice-president for one of the Canadian Banks.  We started with a prayer for his safe crossing, and that was comforting to the family. He was a kind with a wonderful sense of humour. He was known for telling jokes. John loved to play tennis everywhere he travelled. The family were sharing who and what would be said etc. The daughter Julia said shall we bury him in the beautiful blue suit he looked so nice in. John piped up, “No, I want to be buried in my tennis whites. You know how much I loved tennis”. So it was. He shared that he was no longer in pain, and his wishes along with jokes to ease their pain.  He stood to my left during the service smiling like a Cheshire cat. I know it was a comfort to his family to know he could share insights and laughter with them from the other side.
 Mike a very dear and long time friend and John had made a pact that whoever crossed first would come back with a message that there is life after death. I was not aware of this. Directly after the service walked up to Mikes’ daughter asked,  if she would pass on the message. “He wants you to tell Mike that he is fine and everything is as they both had imagined it to be.”  What a pleasure to be a part of confirmation of the proof of life after death. I received a phone call a few weeks later from Mike in Costa Rica to share the story with me and ask if he could write about this experience. I replied with I would be honoured. Mike had written a book  in two languages on his life called,” German Boy, English Girl”, World War 11 from both sides. At the end of his book he talks about the service and the confirmation of the message received through me.  Mike sent me a copy for my library. I am honoured. The book title is accurate, the names have been changed.          In love and light

Music: Good for the Soul   March 17
 I have been requested to write on music. I am not an expert. But have knowledge of how it works in conjunction with the physical, emotional and spiritual bodies. The frequency of 528 Hz is LOVE.   I use music in mediations to help calm/raise specific emotions.  I have music that was written for the CCMBA to get the energy flowing. (Ask anyone who does a CCMBA Workshop with Truly and myself?).   A musician who writes his music could explain this at a deeper level as they write what they are feeling.
Each Chakra has its own sound to contain the essence, secrets and elements within and vowels sounds. I am putting the note, element and vowel sound for each chakra. This is only a brief explanation.
Base: Middle C /Earth/Ooo ,      Navel: D/ Water/Oh,        Solar Plexus: E/Fire/ah                                        Heart: F /Air/Ay,       Throat: G/Ether/Eh,         Brow: A/(light)/Ee,      Crown:  B (thought) Ee
If you have an affinity to music, follow what feels best to you .Experiment to find what works and  remember WHAT WORKS FOR YOU may not work for someone else. Music is personal and you will be drawn to what FEELS right for you.  The music you listen to often fits the mood you are in. I am aware of only one note that has a frequency that is found in rap music that scatters the energy around individuals rather than calming them. For the moment the note and frequency escapes me. This is why I PERSONALLY am not fond of rap as it is often disharmonious. I will state again that when people make STATEMENTS of authority it is their TRUTH not always the truth. If you want a good answer ask a musician why they write.
This blog was request by TE. And this was why?
 I'm wondering what your take on listening to Hz music for relaxation or meditation. Some say the different frequencies are healing for different chakra or health conditions. Some say that certain frequencies being posted on you tube are not good at all. I listened to a really nice rainy one with native flute music that was supposed to have a healing frequency in the background. It seemed ok. Then I read somewhere else that frequency was not that great to listen to. It's all very confusing.
 It transported me back to my cottage as a kid and laying a cozy in my bunk bed with the wood stove on and listening to the rain. It was the first time in a while I was able to keep calm and balanced in my mind.  (T.E. this one worked for you)
 
 

The Lord’s Prayer/Healing     March 17
May people do not know that the Lord’s Prayer it was given to mankind to balance the chakras. It can be used in times of distress and major concern. Joan was in the congregation when I did a spiritual talk how  the prayer works to balance everything in the body, mental, physical and spiritual and that was why it was given to us. Joan later that day was rushed to the hospital with a heart attack and remembered what I had said and started to repeat it over and over and over. It calmed her down and she was later released out of the hospital and the concern was lessened. So let me share how it works. Please use it.
 The King James Version (out of original tongues)
Eyes                        Our Father which art in Heaven
Crown                    Hallowed be thy name.
                                Thy Kingdom come.
Back head              Thy will be done,
                                 As in heaven, so in earth.
Throat                     Give us this day our daily bread
Upper heart           And forgive us our trespasses;
Lower heart           As we forgive those
                                 Who trespass against us.
Solar plexus            Lead us not into temptation;
                                 But deliver us from evil.
Abdomen                For Thine is the kingdom,
                                  And the power,
                                  And the glory,
Groin                        Forever.                  AMEN                                 in love and light  

Talking to Jesus/Soul Lesson  March 15
I was going through a difficult time. One of my students had turned on me and was maligning me across Canada. It was a simple issue of EGO on their part. (Easing God Out)  I stand in INTEGRITY and try to do what is right by all. I will not explain more except to say that they had wanted to remove me as the Pastor of my Church. Spirit stepped in and gave the information on how to deal with it. I was mentoring and working with this individual for a very long time. I loved them dearly and could not believe they had turned on me for such a petty thing. I was devastated to say the least. Others had tried to intervene to bring us back together. Their hearts were in the right place and were trying to bring awareness  and understanding to a politically correct situation, however this individual  had their back up and refused to communicate, as they felt I had wronged them in my actions.
Feeling totally devastated I had decided it would be best for me to leave the foundation and in a meditation, Jesus showed up. This was the gist of what he said to me. We want you to stay. We need you to stay. You are knowledgeable, wise and are not judgemental in the affairs of the foundation and how you treat everyone. You are a wonderful leader and your work is important for many to learn and grow and progress. Please stay.   (On a personal note more was shared to comfort me.)
Well, I took a month off and did stay for another 10 years. The result of this soul lesson was that I was propelled up the ladder of knowledge in many ways. I am not angry at this person. It is simply than when you lose trust you can never get it back. To this day this individual cannot admit and/or apologise for the, hurt and wrongful treatment, so I have chosen not be around them. I wish them well.
When we choose to walk in light we raise our vibration. We also have to forgive those who hurt us as it frees us to be in that higher frequency of love (528 HZ) and not be stuck in a heavy lower energy. The same lesson will be repeated and more difficult the next time for those who do not learn. They have to work through the karma of what they have done.
Mercy is that love which embraces the misery of the human person.     In love and light

Visit by John the Baptist   March 14
My meditation group wanted to try to meditate in the pool in my back yard. I thought what a wonderful idea. Water represents the emotions of the physical body. This has to be a great way for emotions to be brought to the surface to be released. Wow, was I in for a surprise.
Our group met a usual and they entered the warm waters of the pool. Some floated in water and a few just relaxed on the stairs. It was early evening and the sun was still shinning. I started to walk them through a wonderful meditation until they were in a very relaxed state. OMG at the other end of the pool stood John the Baptist. He began to blessing everyone in the pool. I stood there overwhelmed that we were honoured not only by his presence but that he was blessing each and everyone there. Some of my students were advanced enough and saw the proceedings. When you trust the process of teaching and living, wonderful events bless your life. This was one of those memorable events.   In love and light

Guardian Angel/Door Keeper.Doorkeeper  March 13
Basics here. Before you are born you decide who will be your Door Keeper (Guardian Angel). You choose guide who will support/assist you on your journey to stay on track with your life path. Make sure other teachers and guides step in as necessary to help you with new projects or information/issues you need assistance with. They are there for the duration of your life. They are aware of all of the soul lessons you need to learn.  They do not tell you what to do. No one in spirit tells you what to do. They will encourage you in a direction to assist you. Bring people into your life to help you learn lessons. It is worth while to try to understand the past life connection and why they have been CHOOSEN BY YOU to assist in this earthly journey. When you get to know them well you can ask them to give you a sign/symbol or name  that they are there and working with you at specific times. You need to practice mediation to learn all this information. This is not a one time lesson: meditate daily for a clear and good connection.
My Door Keeper is Uzalda, a medicine man from the Zulu tribe in Africa. When I ask if he is there he shows me the deep lush forest of the African jungle. When I asked how I knew it was Africa, he showed me the elephants in Africa. The African Elephant is large than the Indian Elephants and the ears are larger and a different shape. When I started working with Uzalda, I discovered we had been brothers in another life and he was helping me to focus on healing. The white lines painted on his face represented different  portions of the body. When I was to assist someone to heal, a portion of one of the lies would be missing.  I learned a lot over the years from him.
He has a very large stature that looms way above me. When people see him they comment about how powerful he appears. I remind them that when I started this journey when not many were in this field so I needed someone strong, powerful to protect me to protect my back. He certain has done that. In my work I often ask him to show me he is with me for comfort, acknowledgement that I am guided and in a safe loving environment. In love and light

Meditation Circles  March 12
Circles are great as the individual with the lowest energy (beginners) moves up I to a higher level of vibrations as the individual with the higher vibration(advanced) moves up higher  So we bend energies in a circle. YOU NEVER GET UP AND LEAVE once a circle has started. You can cause major issues and pain for the physical body. I recently sat in meditation and 2 people did this. Teaching for so long I made sure the energy was brought back to circle and closed. You do not touch a medium when they have left their body as it can cause irrefutable damage. History has recorded that mediums have passed as a result of this happening.
To my story. Not all churches have good energy. Same circle as yesterday. I sat and began to drift into a deeper state of awareness. There was a dark hooded man standing behind me. I inquired to who he was as the energy emitted from him did not feel positive. No reply. I asked him to leave. No reply. I said either you leave or I closed down. No reply. I closed down. Now when you sitting for one full hour meditating this can be a very long hour.  About 45 minutes into it, I thought I’ll try again.
Wow, he was still there. I requested he leave again. He ignored me. So I said once again ,you are not welcome in my meditation and It’s time for you to leave or I will closed down again. He ignored me again. As I began to close down he swatted me across the back of the head. I almost fell out of my chair.
Lesson in this was. Always ask for highest and best. Never work in energy that does not feel good. Just because you are supposedly in a sanctuary, be careful .Learn to Protect Yourself where ever you meditate.    In love and light

Gift of Mentoring
I love what I do, watching the spiritual growth of an individual. The  “AH HA” moments when information seeps in and they get it. Speaking the language that assists students to advance to another level of awareness and I have a no nonsense attitude as a straight shooter. I tell it like it like it is. If you have misperceptions or don’t get it, I am honoured to change it into terms you get. I am patient, kind considerate and work very hard to assist you on the journey of knowing yourself, your gifts and sharing how to attain your goals. You must also be aware that I know when you are fabricating, not being honest. When you share, I tell you what your SOUL needs to hear, learn and understand. I am here for you and make sure we cover the basis for your growth. There is not much I can’t answer as I have experienced and studied and learned everything I teach. I am available when you need assurance. I push you when you need pushing. I back off and understand when it is overwhelming and you need to integrate. I am excellent at what I do. I am a natural teacher, always wise beyond my years with insights.
The gift of working with spirit needs to be cultivated and nurtured by someone who understands what you are going through and know how to help you grow, learn and be better than them in the end. This is my wish for all my students. 
I had someone in recently to see if I could help them on their Journey. They told me they paid $250 for a 1 day workshop and learned more in 1 hour with me than they did in the Development Workshop. SAD!
My advice CHECK THE CERDENTIALS of anyone who is teaching. Ask for names of where they trained and would they give you names of those who have taken their courses. Just because they did a couple of week-end courses does not mean they are EDUCATED in the subject. This does not mean that because they are just starting they are not aware and cannot teach.  We all have to start somewhere. Talk to them and make sure you feel comfortable with the subject they are offering. Do not do it blindly. Also be aware that they cannot take you spiritually past where they have not learned. Like attracts like. I encourage all of my students to teach when they are comfortable that they know the material. They all have certificates on subjects they have completed.      In love and light

When you dream about a loved one it is often to let you know that they have entered the light and they are all right. The dream itself can have many connotations. You often become aware around 3 to 5 am. This is simple that spirits are able to communicate easier when all the heavy equipment vibrations are not around. All big factories and daily electrical use is at a minimum. Spirit visits through vibrations. They also have to learn how to communicate. Your super-conscious and subconscious is open and your conscious mind is at rest during the sleep state and that is how they are able to communicate.
Sometimes your loved one comes back to give you a message. It could be that there is after life. It could be information that they did not have an opportunity to share before passing. Perhaps something you need to know about an event in the present time. If they have gone through life review they will often show themselves as they were during their prime in their 30’s. This is to let you know they are fine but also they have settled into the afterlife and all is well.
 We call this a VISITATION, not a dream. The spirit has actually come into your dream to communicate with you. If a loved one or friend shows up in your dreams, it is not a dream. They have come to VISIT. It is common in the first few weeks of a passing for visitation of the family and/or friends. The spirit hovers around the family to check in on them as they try to comfort us during the initial period of loss. Depending on the individuals grief they can hang around for a few years. This is why it is important to send prayers to encourage the soul to continue on with the next step of life review.    
I am only scratching the surface of this topic in hope it brings more understanding.       In love and light

Matt’s Cottage.
My brother wanted to purchase a cottage in Bala. He found a beautiful 3 bedroom home with a closed in porch overlooking the lake. It had a Boat House and fabulous dock for 3 or 4 boats. The owner had lost her husband and wanted to sell the cottage. Margaret rented the cottage to one of the original Women Hockey Players (Ida) for the past 10 years. The stipulation of the sale was that Ida was allowed to stay until she went into a retirement home or passed.
My brother called and asked me to assist with deciding what to offer and how long did I think Ida would remain in the house. I told him to lower the asking price as it was just an investment and not useable for now. Go ahead and purchase it as Ida would not be long in the house. Probably out by the Spring and  it was now early autumn.
Well it worked out well for Matt. The papers we signed and a few days later he received a call. Ida had passed and the house would be emptied within 30 days. Pays to have a big sister who has friends that can see into the future. I have been up often and enjoy his beautiful cottage. In love and light

I encounter many students from all walks of life. I treat each individually to assist them to move forward  grow and learn at whatever level they are on. One of the meditation students was emotionally distraught and I was aware that suicide had crossed her mind a few times. I was awakened by spirit late one night to check in on her. I sat across from her on the couch and explained much of what I am about to share with you.
Life is precious. Heaven and Hell are here on the earth. This is the only Universe that we learn real soul lessons in the physical. When you choose to take your own life there are repercussions. God does NOT judge you.  You judge yourself and often come back sooner then you should, with harder lessons in the area that distressed you the most. The irony of this is that from the other side you believe you can handle more and choose a tougher situation to work through. The afterlife for these individuals are often a revolving door as they are aware there and forget how tough the earth plane can be. You do not bring the memories back to know that this was a past life soul lesson.
As I stated this is where we LEARN SOUL LESSONS not in the afterlife. It may be difficult but asking for assistance from others makes the journey here easier. Baby steps and changing your thinking to positive thoughts is the first step to change. There are many ways of changing thought process. I often give affirmations to use every time they start to think negatively. Positive thinking in combination with addressing what the issue/problem is and seeking professional help is advised.
The student returned to the next class and said,” thank your staying with me to explain why it was necessary to stay”. I smiled and said you are welcome. “As a man thinketh in his heart so he is” We assist each other to the best of our abilities.    In love and light
It is scientifically proven fact that every mental change is followed by a physical change, for every thought we think has its effect upon the physical body in which we live. The Chemistry of Thought
