Past Lives. Nov 3
When I embarked on learning meditation I started to go to all the classes that I could possibly attend. I wanted to experience everything available, to be better at my own meditations. I was showing others how to meditate and knew this would enhance my methodology. It wasn't long before I was incorporating how Past Lives explained many insights into relationships, fears, and attitudes. Then I began assisting clients to work through past lives.
I was blessed with the ability to see and direct them on their journey to move to incidents that had impacted their lives in a negative way. Years later in a meditation I was directed to take the course in Hypnosis to be recognized for the work I had been already doing for years Now the certificate hangs proudly in my office amongst a few others.
The course had a great teacher and  gave me wonderful  insights on how to make the process easier for me. Courses always give new awareness along with confirmation that you are on the right track.      in love and light

​My first Healing Message. Nov 2
I was about 17 years of age. Mom had a regular visit from Mary one of the locals. Mary spent most of her time alone  as she had no kids and her husband was a travelling Evangelist Minister. As far back as I can remember I never met him.
I was aware she was a very lonely older lady and like to visit our family. The community considered her slightly touched. I don't think so, just odd. Her Christmas Tree was left up all year. She's arrive an hour or so before dinner, knowing that mom would included her. She'd have to share what ever what being made. She always complimented mom as she was grateful to be included. When dusk arrived early mom would insist someone had to walk her home.
During one of her visits she told us that she had tripped and fallen and now required a cane for assistance. He husband told her the cane was an issue because of her carelessness. This made her feel very emotional and guilty. I walked her home that night.
Mary's dad had passed away a number of years earlier and told he spoke to me and said  to remind Mary that" IT WAS AN ACCIDENT,NOT CARELESSNESS. YOUR HUSBAND IS AN INCONSIDERATE MAN, STOP LISTENING TO HIM.HE WANTS YOU TO FEEL BAD."
 
This was the first time I admitted and spoke out loud about messages from spirit. I told Mary no one would believe her if she shared what I told her, as they all thought she was crazy. I was aware the message gave her great comfort and released the guilt. Many times over the years she told me how much my information had tremendously helped her..
So spirit reminded me that this was the first time I acknowledged spirit out loud helped another to heal emotional wounds. Yes, that was the beginning. I am still doing my best. Love what I do. in love and light
Always leave people better than you found them

Knowing Nov 1
I was engaged to my first Husband, Walter.  Every Saturday and Sunday Night we went dancing. I was in heaven. He loved me and the passion to dance as much as I did. I even danced on Roller skates growing up. That is how I met this husband John. That is a whole other story.
One Sunday he called to say he could not keep our date. I accepted his explanation and never gave it another thought. So Wednesday Nights were movie nights for us. On Wednesday night as he walked through the door. I looked at him and asked:"Was it worth it"?. He turned red and said "What are you talking about"? I asked "Was the little French Canadian girl worth breaking our date?" He broke into tears apologized saying he would never do it again. I accepted his apology. They say love is blind. Actually I believe the ego gets in the way as you don't want to believe that if someone loves you they would do this.
Yes, 5 years later we separated. I was a prize possession, not a partner to share everything with. This lovely man was not the individual that would be a companion and future life partner. I moved on. Do not lie to a Medium, they may not say anything, but it does not mean they don't KNOW.

"Some of the biggest challenges in relationships come from the fact that most people enter a relationship in order to get something: they're trying to find someone who's going to make them feel good. In reality, the only way a relationship will last is if you see your relationship as a place that you go to give, and not a place that you go to take."      in love and light

​Tabitha: Oct 31
Tabitha was a Chocolate - Seal point Siamese cat. I live in Calgary and feeling very alone decided to purchase a cat. Tabitha was a great sensitive companion that was extremely aware of my emotions.  She love to lie in front of me as I vacuumed and  made sure to be directly in the path so I would vacuum  her fur too. I never had any loose hair floating about or clinging to the furniture. This was a plus in my books.
 When  company visited, if she sensed I like them she would come around and  be  available to be patted, if they wished. If she sensed I was not fond but accommodating she would hide in the bedroom climbing up on the spare twin bed and look out at the skyline and the mountains awaiting their departure.
I spent a lot of time training her to walk on a  lead.  When I pulled it  out of the closet, she would run and sit at the front door awaiting for me to attach it to her rhinestone studded body harness. There were many odd looks as we used the elevator to go down to the garage. She would lay quietly on the passenger seat of my Firebird and off we would go on an adventure. I would do all the necessary outings that were required as she sat watching for my return. What a great companion Tabitha was.
Just before Truly was born she got out of the house on the porch roof  through an upper window in the house and was hit by a car. I was heartbroken   at her loss, but knew she had served me well and this was a new chapter where she no longer was the center of my attention.
I was so devastated at finding her  body on the sidewalk in front of our house that Tom made sure to keep me busy for the next few days shopping ,walking and visiting friend to help pass the time for the grieving to be lessened. This allowed the healing process to begin. My wonderful memories of this delightful companion are intact. I am truth grateful for the precious time we spent together
 There's a trick to the 'graceful exit.' It begins with the vision to recognize when a job, a life stage, or a relationship is over - and let it go. It means leaving what's over without denying its validity or its past importance to our lives. It involves a sense of future, a belief that every exit line is an entry, that we are moving up, rather than out."  Companions, weather human or pets are precious. Enjoy them while you can.      in love and light

​Miss Muffy; Oct 30
 Shortly after Tom and I were married we purchase a black and white Cocker Spaniel and of course we called her Miss Muffy. What a treasure. We had a Chocolate/Seal Point Siamese cat called Tabitha who when climbing stairs always walked close to the railing. When Muffy came along she followed the cat and always walked next to the railing so we never worried about tripping on the stairs.
Miss Muffy was so gentle that everyone coming to the house told us when we had puppies they would like one. Tom had planned on Breeding but it was not meant to be as Miss Muffy turned out to be a hermaphrodite (he/she). When we called the breeder to inform him she was not a breeding dog he informed us to bring her back. He would put her down and give us another dog. Breeders are not stupid. They know you bond with a dog and they will never have to give you any money back. Enough said about that as that was out of the question.
We walked nine Miles a day, even during my pregnancy. I can delightfully say I only put on 30 lbs with that pregnancy and was in fabulous shape. Needed to be, as it was a very difficult labour. One of my flash back memories was looking out the window to the back yard and seeing Miss Muffy eating Tiny Tim Tomatoes right off the bushes. What a hoot and delightful pet we had for many years. She was wonderful with children and everyone who came in contact with her. Pleasant memories of days gone by.                      in love and light

 
Reflections of the Past.
I was in meditation when a past memory reminded how much I loved my gardens. I would be making breakfast around 7 am and a scratch would by at the door to the Granny apartment. I would open the door for Angel and she would share my breakfast. We would then go out on the back deck where I would have my coffee and enjoy the beautiful gardens with Angel at my side. You see I was the Fun Mummy. After coffee we would slow meander through the gardens until we reached the Pea patch.
I'd crack open the pods. One for me, one for Angel. One for me, one for Angel. We never did bring any back to the house. They were so good, we ate them all. We would pick whatever was ripe and then return. No one the wise for our fun adventure into the garden. Ah miss those wonderful days with just Angel and me. So Angel is Cathy's dog the shitzu.   
Animals are our dearest non-judgmental companions who bring tremendous joy when we take the time to cherish and enjoy them.                        in love and light

Clear Thinking  Oct 29
There is no right or wrong to mediation. There are practices that make it more effective: Music, Guided meditation, focusing on a mantra. Choose what works for you. When you are under stress it helps to calm us down and  how to change our thinking in a more positive way to see the larger picture.
It is even more important when we are stressed to meditate as during these times we produce more Cortisol. The stress hormone CORTISOL creates the fight or flight state. This particular hormone creates an adaptive response by increasing the neurological connections within the  brain. When continual stressors occur, you end up with ADRENAL OVERLOAD. This can also cause mental health issues such as  depression and anxiety and in turn also creates the sensation of brain fog, poor memory and irritability.
Daily meditation actually changes the wiring within the brain. Daily meditation has also been found to reduce circulating inflammatory markers in your blood stream, which makes it an effective treatment for those with chronic pain. It improves the immune function and assists in reversing your biologic age in comparison with your chronological age, making it a great anti-aging treatment.
Don't ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do that. Because what he world needs is people who have come alive.                in love and light

​Pearls of Wisdom; Blog Guru Oct 28

They can help you open and awaken to what really rests within you, essential giving you permission to access aspects of yourself you had not previously not given yourself permission to awaken..They show you what you didn't know was there all along and how to access the information.

Daily practice gives you an appreciation to listen to life, with greater ease to understand how to live life with grace. When practiced daily you will find your GURU. So - guru really means - JEEE YOU ARE YOU . in love and light

Changing what you have, comes from changing who you are. And changing who you are comes from changing what you think. That is why the later is so easy. " Visualise".

​Divine Within    October26
We are expression of the Divine Universe. By accessing the state of stillness you can easily access the realm of oneness. by learning to do nothing -no thing- being in the present moment awareness will gently flow into your daily life and into your waking state and into your dream state. This is when you experience the universe within you..   in love and light

​Staying the Course: Oct 24
Over the last month I know many of my friends and colleagues have been emotionally and physically affected by the earth shift and the new moon. What a ride.
My computer went down for over a week. My cell phone was having issues .My head felt like it was being squeezed in a vise. Clients booked only to cancel a day later.  Through all of this I have learned to take each problem in stride. My biggest issue was when the Right Lower 2nd molar began to ache. It radiated pain in my lower jaw , my upper jaw and  over to the left side of my face in sympathy.  Being empathetic is not  always pleasant. This is one of those more difficult times with everything else being emphasized.
I had to go with the flow and accept that some things can change and  with others we have to address the source and make a change. I did bio-feed back. in light wellness, essential oils I even broke down and took Orajel, Amoxicillan Antibiotics for the infection and Ibuprofen to help ease the nerve pain. Everything within my knowledge and power. I don't due medication without careful thought to its effects.
The end result was that the molar had to be extracted with half my face being frozen. The infection did not allow the freezing to work so 3 times during the removal. The dentist had to put in more freezing along the jaw and once the tooth was drilled in half into the root in the center of the tooth. Painful is an appropriate word here. I still had pain with each piece being pulled out. Not a pleasant experience.
At home, I took more antibiotics, put the lights on my face to remove freezing and taught my class that evening. Life challenges  allow us to grow, find internal strength and know we can overcome anything if we just focus and apply ourselves. We have to stay the course. in love and light
There is an old saying: "That which doesn't kill you makes you stronger." I don't believe that. I think the things that try to kill you make you angry and sad. Strength comes from the good things: your family, your friends, the satisfaction of hard work. Those are the things that will keep you whole. Those are the things to hold onto when you are broken.”  ― Jax Teller

Natural Fermentation Oct 22
This fall I began to do canning again after 7 years of absence. I started with small amounts of my favourite foods. Dilled carrots, Zucchini Pickles and Green Tomato Relish. Looking forward to sharing with family and friends.
Saturday I attended an excellent workshop with Rebecca on Fermentation of Vegetables.. We did 1 litre jars of Sauerkraut and Spicy Dilled Beans. Her explanation of how natural lactobacillus ( a probiotic) occurs and assists the digestive process(the gut) was very well explained. This is  part of the Endocrine System and therefore also assists improving the immune system. Due to processed food in the diet many people have an overabundance of CANDIDA in their systems and this can be precursors to dis-ease within the body. By using fermented foods you can help to eliminate many health issues and dis-eases.
We live in a society which is now going back to basics. Years ago  it was well know that by drinking the brine from Sauerkraut you could begin the healing process of diseases with inflammation of the digestive track  such as  Ileitis, ulcerative  colitis and diverticulitus. Wonderful to see a re-emergence of natural foods.
Knowledgeable instructor, wonderful company and great fermented jars of food to bring home. I will encourage anyone wanting to know more about the process of fermentation to attend her workshop. Well done. Kudos to you Rebecca.                        in love and light Rev Alva Folkes  Dr of Natural Medicine.

Your Choice: Good/ Bad   Oct 21
In a channeling session this week we had a group calling themselves "The Black Source." I could feel the awkward  negative energy as they entered the room. My head began to hurt as if I had a band to tight around it. When I asked where they were from, told a galaxy far away. I changed the questions prearranged to reflect and discern what this group of entities wanted.
I inquired if they were aware the words  Black Source had a negative connotation to it? The reply was simply "we don't care" I asked a few more pertinent question to ascertain the reason for the visit. they would take the opportunity when ever given to approach those open to  communication..I then stated they were not welcome and it was time for them to leave as we would not work with them
My student had screaming  voice in his head "get out, get out". The 20 entities were in black robes with white  trim around  the cuffs and the edge of the hood around their head.. As they withdrew, they stated they would be back. There are as many of us as there are good. Gave my student information to try to persuade him to work with him in regards to money, career and what they could help him accomplish in the future. He had to push back in order to disconnect.
The student went to a space described as in between zone. It was foggy, not clear. I inquired was this the space between worlds where those who have passed to discern the next step of their journey. Yes was the reply, but he was alone here. He did not see anyone else. He remained there for a few minutes before returning.
It is important when doing this kind of work to have the awareness to know when to withdraw. This is where experience, knowledge and education play an important role as a director.   in love and light

Trusting a person.
Trust takes years to build, seconds to break, forever to repair. So think twice about trusting a person who has let you down more than twice. Once was a warning, twice was a lesson and anything more is taking advantage.
 
 

​Blessed  Oct 18
I have the most delightful, enthusiastic class to share wisdom knowledge and insights with. I am honoured that they join me weekly to learn about a variety of topics and then mediate to understand how it applies to their everyday live. I learn as much from them as they do from me.
As individuals we all learn at different levels of awareness. I share my years of research and study to give insights and help others understand how to cope with situations and lessons of life. The guided mediations are to help integrate the information at a subconscious level. I become excited when a student moves to a higher level of understanding. That is what my passion is all about.
Every day you witness laws of action and  reaction in order to understand the balance within your own life.  Through understanding  these natural laws we can bring balance and harmony to move into a state of GRACE to experience life fully.
There is never just one right answer. There is never just one right question.
 It is all of the above. in love and light

Emotional Trauma   Sept 28
We all have times in our lives when we are feeling down, not together or lost. Lost seems to be a big one for many these days. There is no set answer. You have to start with what is bothering me, not working for me or bringing me unhappiness or frustration. Once you have sorted that out you must find someone you can “TRUST’ to help you work through it. It may be emotional, physical or spiritual. Success is not final. Failure is not fatal; it is the courage to continue that counts. You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have. Knowledge is power and self awareness is empowering. Wisdom slowly over time, through much dedication – becomes authority over the self.
In love and light

Soul Searching
A few years ago I was aware that I needed to makes some changes in my life. Both kids are married with wonderful partners and have careers that keep them busy and we do not spend as much time together. I had been the doing the same thing for many years, and constantly updating my education. I raised my family and worked in the same large bungalow for 35 years along with many renovations. I decided to finally renovate the kitchen the way I really wanted it. The crisis came for me when I lost a soul sister and I was feeling stagnant in what I was doing and where I was living. Linda was one of those souls you do not see or communicate for weeks and when you do you practically finish each others’ sentences like it was yesterday.
For a few years my husband and I would go for a drive looking at properties all over. Nothing ever fit what I felt would be appropriate. I did not share the emotional issue of feeling disconnected, lost and bored. The bored part is a lifelong ongoing complaint. I love to be in classes and learning. That is why I read a book in a day. It was my problem and I had to find an answer that would satisfy me.
John found a picture of a lovely raised bungalow on water. We had to wait to look at it, as it was rented and the occupants were not obliging as they really did not want to have to move. When we finally visited the property and I walked into the house I instantly saw my glass top kitchen table sitting in the middle of the kitchen. I knew this was where we belonged. I did not share what I was doing with anyone until I had all the plans together. It took me a year to reorganize and settle in. With spirits supporting me, I started working on the future of what I would now be doing. I love living next to water as it is so soothing peaceful and most of the time quiet. I enjoy my swimming pool and spend as much time as I can in it. When inside, I am mostly in the upper sunroom overlook the bay or in my office looking out at the bay. I’m sure you get the idea. I  LOVE WATER – in it or looking at it. I feel at home.
My crisis is over and I am content. Many changes still to come. I do not have everything in my life in order as of yet, still working on new ideas. Change is inevitable. It’s your road, and yours alone, others may walk it with you, but no one can walk it for you.         in love and light
 

Agitated
In the work today I was addressing how agitated I become as I am so sensitive to Mother Earth and the vibration produced by all the tremours. I was reminded once again how little time I meditated. Just finished 45 minutes, so today I am calmer. I have been working on personal issues that agitate me. Guess that makes me human. I have a few people in my life that their actions are not in harmony with mine. I try to address what is going on inside me,  that they either irritate or upset me by their words and actions .I do soul searching to find how to resolve MY INNER Conflict. It’s my issue not theirs. Anger is an attempt to vent or pump up frustrations and cause inner conflict  so that we withdraw or act out. My choice to see what portion of my SOUL can grow and learn by understanding the WHY? Meditation often helps me calm down and speak to spirit to find the answers I am searching for.
Even roses have thorns my dear. In love and light

Sarcasm: Sept 19
Webster Dictionary meaning: a taunting, sneering remark. Those who use sarcasm are using their own pain, resentment and frustration to vent on others. They are looking for a reaction and they feed on the vulnerability of hurt feeling to feed their own ego. When they get a response or see the reaction is negative, it reinforces the attitude and this can become addictive behaviour. Do not react when you feel hurt unless you can address it in a positive affirming way that this attitude is not appropriate. This is their issue not yours.

Marriage. Sept 18
I had the pleasure of attending a family wedding. To hear the words chosen that represented the commitment of a mature couple in the ceremony. When young people marry it’s always about the passion, children, making a home, encouraging each others’ career and growing old together. In perfect world this would work for everyone. We do not live in a perfect world.
When mature couples marry the ideals and desires change. It now becomes about mutual respect, sharing interests which could be a drive in the country, a vacation or even walking Fido in the park. None the less it is wonderful to see love blossom and grow and mature enough that two individuals wish to make a commitment with family and friends in attendance to share the joys of the future.  So, I personally find it exciting and wonderful when someone finds a new partner who truly wants to share the future, whatever that might be.
Wishing all mature loving couples many years of joy, happiness and long life.         In love and life.

Changing Seasons.
Being a gardener I am always looking at how splendid Mother Nature occurs each season. I spend a lot of time in my sunroom looking out at the bay here on Lake Chemong. It is so peaceful and quiet. I have noticed over the last few weeks how all of the Cedar Trees have begun to take on the colour of Rust as the tops of the trees are so heavily laden with seeds and the branches are drooping from the weight.  Other Ever greens such as the Blue Spruce are appearing brown at the top loaded with pine cones. This represents a very cold winter with lots of snow.
In the past I have watched over the late summer for the black and brown (Monarch) caterpillar. I have not seen any where I live now. For those who have them in their back yard, please look at the length and  density of the black in the center. When you cannot see the skin between the black hairs it means hard winter.
So heads up my friends. I predict a long hard winter. Put extra food in the pantry and make sure you get the winter tires on for safety.    In love and light

Blessed: Thank You Francis Sept 14
I had a beautiful outing with the Red Hats in Port Hope to see Beauty and the Beast at the Capitol Theater. After Our fabulous dinner at a local Trattoria I went to car the car collect sweaters for the ladies and my shawl as theaters are always too cold with the air conditioning. As I threw the shawl over my shoulder something whip by me. My sister said I felt something brush by me, shall we look.  I assumed it was the fringe on my beautiful Peruvian Shawl and said “Oh it was just the fringes”.
About an hour later I looked down and my diamond cluster ring was missing. OMG I thought, don’t panic. That’s what we felt by the van. Obviously the fringe caught the ring and pulled it off my finger. I sat there quietly putting out a prayer to Francis ( in spirit) who often visits and has a way of assisting in many avenues of my life.
I sat there quiet and  said please Francis have the diamonds sparkle as I get close to the Van so I can find my ring easily. I repeated it a couple of times. I sat through the balance of the outstanding performance enjoying the company of the ladies and the actors and trusting all would be well.
As we left the theater I whispered, ”Please Francis, Help me find my ring”. The ladies window shopped as I walked straight back to my van.  Approximately about 15 feet away right beside the van I could see a sparkle on the sidewalk. Yup, it was my lovely cluster Ring. I am truly blessed to have such a wonderful connection to spirit and know how to ask for their assistance. “Ask and ye shall receive” 
 Thank You Francis for your continued help.                                  in love and light
 Tomorrow is never promised so today I want all my friends and family to know how thankful I am that                   all of you are in my life.

Trust Your Instincts Sept  13
When we understand and apply he universal laws an truths we find everything begins to fall into place as the universe is supporting our effort to have deeper understanding of yourself, your goals, and even your friendships.
Be sensitive to the inate desire of your heart and respect and work with it.
Have the spiritual desire to help and serve others through the avenue you are seeking.
Focus on what you desire to succeed and others will be drawn to you.
Then watch how the universe supports all that you do. You will attract those of like mind and things will come to you in surprising ways and opportunities may arise that your never dream of. Stay positive and constructive with all that you do
.           In love and light
“When everything is working well it feels like one coherent whole, but if something is out of whack, we have to diagnose what is going on with one or more parts.”

Spiritual Growth Sept
Spiritual Growth happens when we realize every choice has consequences. In some cases, the failure to choose is the result of letting go of the old for the new, the familiar for the unfamiliar. This is the essence of choice; the ability to let your wishes be known, to let go and stand on new and unfamiliar ground. Choice is the divine teacher, for when we choose a certain path or opportunity it is our opportunity to develop our intuition and follow our hearts desire. Choice teaches us how to listen, and why we must obey the whisperings of our heart. This is the choice to grow. When we consciously choose growth over STAGNATION we will be supported by the UNIVERSE and will find truth and strength in your ability to withstand the consequences of your choice. In love and light
                            If you stand for nothing. You’ll fall for anything.

Curses Sept 9
This has been brought to my attention a few times lately. Curses DO NOT WORK. Many years ago it was accepted that curses worked due to peoples’ BELIEF SYSTEM. We have evolved to such a degree in knowledge, education, awareness and spiritual growth they curses no longer have any power over our belief system.
So let me share what Jesus gave to me in a conversation today. An individual that believes and acts or accepts the belief that curses work, needs the most help as they are the most fearful and truly have no self direction.
A curse only works if you BELIEVE and FEAR everything emotionally associated with actions of fear. For self awareness ask yourself1/ where you are at. 2/ What do you need to address in your thought process?  So question the information about the person’s thought process - where are they coming from and what is their educational background to wish to do someone else harm? Restructure your life through positive thoughts to learn from the so called curse.
Example: Susan was approached by a mutual friend.  Sarah told Susan that Muriel had put a curse on her. Susan laughed and stated that she did not believe in curses. So it did not affect her outlook in any way as she simply dismissed the idea. This attitude confirms that Muriel is not coming from a positive place but rather one of fear, jealousy and it was time to walk away from that friendship.     in love and light

Discernment
There will always be useful information for everyone and is should be uplifting and inspire the individual to think in a positive manner. You have FREE WILL and the choice to work with the information that is available to everyone. You will know truth when you hear it. You will feel it in your heart or your guts. Spirit will encourage you to move forward, never backwards. You can never unlearn knowledge. This can be scary but they will never trick or talk you into anything that is not for your highest good. Spirit will never represent a channel as the ONLY SOURCE. Many will have similar information, however, the delivery may be different. A good channel will have spiritual solutions to life challenges, to help you understand why, how or just the cause of an issue or problem. The message should be uplifting, not one of fear, or drags you down. It should inspire you with positive choices to move forward into the future.   In love and light
I think the biggest form of flattery is when other starts to use your material and verbage and call it their own without permission. The tragedy is if they don’t have the education and knowledge to back it up it could back fire on them. In all the world there is no one exactly like me. Everything that comes out of me is authentically mine because I choose it.
