I’ll be honest—when I first heard about loving-kindness meditation, I wasn’t sure it would work for me. It sounded simple enough: sit down, focus on sending love and goodwill to yourself and others, and somehow feel better. But at the time, I was dealing with a lot—stress, challenging relationships, and that ever-present feeling of not being enough. The idea of showering myself with kind thoughts felt, well... a little awkward.
But I gave it a try. At first, it was tough. My inner critic was lo…
In a world that moves fast and often feels chaotic, it’s easy to lose sight of the deeper connection we share with Spirit. But compassion has a way of bringing us back—back to ourselves, back to others, and back to the divine presence that surrounds us.
Compassion isn’t just an act of kindness; it’s a spiritual practice. Every moment of empathy, patience, and love raises your vibration, aligning you with higher frequencies and opening your heart to Spirit’s guidance. When you choose compassion,…
Have you ever wondered what it would feel like to truly connect with Spirit—not just in moments of quiet, but as an ongoing presence in your life? In a world filled with noise, stress, and uncertainty, it’s easy to feel disconnected, not just from others but from the divine energy that is always surrounding us.
But what if there was a way to bridge that gap? A way to tap into love, light, and divine wisdom—no matter what’s happening around you?
Loving-kindness meditation isn’t just a practice …
I love speaking with my mentors about their spiritual journey. I was able to do that when I interviewed Lee VanZyl, a former lawyer from South Africa turned evidential medium and healer, who shares her journey of discovering mediumship and the importance of evidence in her work. She discusses the influence of her daughter and her father, who was also a medium, in her development. Lee emphasizes the naturalness of mediumship and the need for more evidence-based practices. She also explores the ri…
I've been a fan of Kay Reynolds for years. She's a psychic medium and spiritual mentor, and in this interview, she shares her journey of discovering her mediumship abilities and what connecting with spirit is like.
It's this loving connection that lets us know life continues beyond the physical "death." She describes how early in her childhood she had her 1st encounter with a spirit person and details how she knew this wasn't her imagination and wasn't someone to be afraid of.
From her childho…
Welcome back! In this episode, I interview trance medium Milada Rice-Henke, who shares her journey of growing up with a deep connection to spirit. She shares her experience with connecting to spirit and offers advice for those new to mediumship or just beginning to connect with spirit. She emphasizes that we are all connected to spirit and encourages self-acceptance and trust in the natural connection.
Milada describes her own experiences of clairvoyance and clairsentience and advises new medi…
Many people ask me about my spiritual journey and if I’ve always had the ability to connect with spirit. We’re going to take a look at that and explore my spiritual journey and how I became a spiritual medium.
Today, we’re going to be taking a look at my spiritual journey and how I ultimately was able to connect with spirit. I realized I was able to really connect with spirit as a child, but I didn’t understand what it was at the time. It wasn’t until I was an adult that I finally began to d…
Have you ever had that small, quiet little voice inside your head that begins to gently suggest you would be better served doing or not doing something? It’s so subtle that your louder, dominant logical ego mind just ignores it. What happens? You later think to yourself, “Gee I should have done that….”
How many times has that happened to you? Happens to me far more than I care to admit.
So what’s going on here? Is this just your imagination, the way your conscious mind (AKA your judgemental e…
When was the last time you experienced an event that seemed so unusual that you had trouble explaining it or rationalizing it or even understanding how it was physically possible?
Perhaps you said, "Oh that's just a coincidence" and totally ignored it. Conversely, you might have said, "The universe is trying to tell me something." Furthermore, you may be trying to reach out to your spirit guides for help or answers to a particularly bothersome question.
In the vast and intricate tapestry of li…
