Here I am at Lily Dale, NY again. I'm here this time to learn Psychic Investigation. I am with a friend who has a keen interest in this topic, so I thought I'd come along to have a new experience working with spirit. We'll see what this week will unfold.
I also came to get away and experience a different environment to help me write. I've had some issues about completing my book. I have so much information to share, but the immensity of it is overwhelming to me. I have to remind myself to focus on the next part of the writing and not to think too much about the future or in the details of "book writing. I don't have writer's block. I always have something to write about, its just that because its so close to my heart, I put a lot of pressure on myself and feel anxious about completing something that as an immense amount of importance to my personal journey. Perhaps I place too much importance on it, but it feels that significant to be. I remind myself to write for myself and my own need to express my story and not to be concerned about what will happen later.
There is no television here and little to do in the evenings and so I am in my room writing on my iPad. I think about home, what is important to me and feel overwhelmed with gratitude of all the blessings I have. What a luxury to be able to devote my time to what I love and care deeply about. I feel spirit close to me now, knowing that they support me 100% in whatever I choose to do, but especially when I engage in my work that is part of my life's purpose.
I can often times see another's life purpose so clearly, their life experiences leading them to a place where they are living honestly and from their heart. You can see it in another when their face lights up just talking about what they care deeply about. I was recently visited by a bereaved father. His son transitioned only two years prior, he is deep in the mourning period. His wife, unable to cope, has taken to sleep whenever she can and talks frequently about suicide to be with her son. I listened to his story, his love for his son, and how he was a special light in this world. His son was autistic and developed leukemia. Him and his wife tried to find a bone marrow donor to save his life, but there isn't a registry in Canada. He solicited citizens to come forward to have a swab taken from their cheek for their DNA to be tested to see if they were for a match for his son. He did all he could to find a donor, but it was not meant to be. When he talks about what he is doing to bring awareness that a donor list is needed, and his face lights up. His son's words echoing in his head that people don't have to die.
Even thought his son did transition without a donor being found, he laid the foundation for his father's work perfectly. I hope his father continues to pursue the public and governmental bodies to make this registry happen. I feel, his son's life wasn't about being saved from leukemia, his son's life was about displaying the need for us to fill another's need. So often, the newly bereaved focus on a life lost, the details surrounding the death, and how they could have prevented it. They can often be full guilt or feel victimized. To gradually move to an understanding that there is a bigger picture at play, can help to move them through the grieving process by realizing there is a reason why traumatic events happen to us.
There are so many reminders of what our life path is for us to notice on a daily basis. Many of these reminders occur because of the workings of spirit. Spirit can include, but not limited to, the ones we loved here on earth that have transitioned to spirit, but also angels and guides and higher light beings. These beings of light help us by leaving clues and gentle reminders to what we need to learn, remember and pursue for our own growth and healing. Every life path is different, but there are threads of commonality of learning and experiential opportunities that can be offered to us and these can be orchestrated in an infinite number of ways. Some common learning themes are: compassion, patience, self-reliance, truth, honesty, balance, self-confidence, self-worth, understanding and knowledge, self-care, caring for another, joy, creativity, kindness, etc.
Now that I am aware of this, I often try to go beyond the obvious situation and find the hidden gem of understanding being offered to me. This can be difficult when you are in the mist of a situation, but with patience, what you need to understand will surface in a number of ways.
Most people are aware that their dreams hold information for them. This can be the easiest way of receiving a message from spirit and your own higher self. The message of the dream can be lost if time isn't taken to ponder on the dream and what it might be trying to tell you. I often suggest to those who are recording their dreams to take special notice of the emotion of the dream. This can be a clue to what emotion your subconscious is trying to express which has been suppressed by your conscious self in your waking state. This can help you to get in touch with what needs to be brought to your awareness and resolved.
In different stages of my grief, I have had dreams of Elizabeth. I know the difference between a visit from her and my own feelings needing expression. If you reflect on what it is you are needing in your waking life a dream can make sense. I often feel the need to hug her and have had many dreams where I am able to fulfill that need.
