My Mediumship Journey
From a young age, I realized that I was not like everyone else. I did not understand how I was different, I just knew I was. I have always been connected to Spirit and have had the ability to sense, and sometimes even see, spirits. As a child, I remember sleeping with all the lights on because I was terrified. I also remember shopping with my mother and being able to pick up on emotions of everyone around me. It was very overwhelming and I became a child that did not like to be around large groups of people. During my teenage years, I developed some coping skills and completely shut Spirit out of my life. I was able to live a fairly normal teenage life.
After the loss of my father, my abilities became even more magnified, and I was unable to block them out or ignore. I lost my father tragically, so the loss totally devastated my entire being. Suicide leaves so many burdens and scars behind. I was truly a lost soul looking for answers and direction. I carried a tremendous amount of guilt and burden for many years. One day on a whim, I scheduled an appointment with a medium. Even though I knew the afterlife and communication with departed loved was very real, I went into the reading with skepticism and very low expectations. To my pleasant surprise, the medium did a tremendous job in bringing forth my father and other loved ones I had lost. The evidence she provided went beyond any expectation I could have ever held. I left that reading with no more guilt and no more burden. I had spent many years in therapy and though it did help tremendously, the messages from my father were the missing keys I needed to heal. It was at that moment I realized I needed to develop my abilities further so I could offer others who are suffering the same healing I received.
I have spent many years in development under some amazing mentors. I regularly sit in development circles because there is always more to learn. A medium's relationship with Spirit is constantly evolving and so are our abilities.
