Is Your Home Energetically Healthy or Sick? A Psychic’s Guide to Residual Energy

Real estate: Is your home energetically healthy or sick? 

home sweet homeAs a home buyer, you spend an enormous amount of time looking for the perfect home. Maybe it’s been remodeled exactly to your liking, or it is an amazing bargain. You even hire a certified home inspector to ensure you’re buying a safe and sound home for your family. Everything looks great to push the green light to buy that house; but wait – not so fast… 

As an Evidential Medium and Psychic, I’ve spent many years being a leading paranormal expert and haunting consultant for many of the most haunted places in the United States. Residual paranormal activity stems not from active spirits that may be earthbound and have their own reasons for staying but instead solely comes from the previous occupant’s emotions and state of health at passing. That energy then gets absorbed within the walls, ceilings and floors. 

What is imprinted residual energy? 

The type of energy that is in your home either lifts you up or tears you down. Every negative word, action, illness, divorce, bankruptcy, mental disorder and manner of passing is absorbed into the walls, ceilings and floors of house. It’s like dirty sponges you can’t see but I assure you that sometimes you can feel this residual energy when you first walk into a prospective home. This phenomenon is echoes of the past playing over and over again.  Have you ever walked through the door of a house for sale and immediately wanted to turn around and walk out? If you have, congratulations, you felt the imprinted energy and did the right thing by leaving. But what if you don’t recognize that the home you’re buying is one big dirty sponge?  

Why you should pass on houses where previous occupants experienced health issues or mental illness: 

 The body when sick is very vulnerable to negative, intelligent spirits.  I was asked to energetically inspect the home of a client whose mother had a terminal illness.  The sickly mom was living with the client and the entire family experienced strange activity inside the home. When I arrived, an invisible hand pulled my hair from behind. And I’m not talking about a gentle tug; my head jerked backwards with the force of a whiplash. I was not happy to say the least. This also applies to such conditions as Asperger’s and Autism.  Any emotional and physical vulnerability can attract intelligent negative spirits before manifesting into unintelligent residual energy within the house. Whatever is happening in the present will be felt and heard after the previous owners are long gone. 

How does the previous homeowner’s negative residual energy affect yours and your families and health and psyche? 

  • As the months pass in your new home, are you having more arguments between you, your spouse or other family members? 
  • Are you feeling more fatigued than you ever have before? 
  • Did you develop autoimmune diseases despite being declared healthy prior to moving into your new home? 
  • Is any household member feeling sudden bouts of depression and anxiety that you didn’t experience prior to moving in house? 
  • Do you hear knocks inside the walls that can’t be explained? 

Residual energy is purely ramped up electromagnetic fields (EMF) that build up like a volcano.  It must have somewhere to disperse, hence the knocking sounds. 

I’ll share a few simple methods to help clear the residual energy in your new or existing home. 

Palm to wall method: 

palm on wall
Place both palms of hands on each wall of every room and thank the home for accepting you. Then with true intention in your own words, remove
and release every emotion, action and health history of previous occupants back to the Universe. This allows you to then imprint your own history to the house.  

Onyx to Amythest method: 

amethyst onyx
Starting with the top
Left Corner of front door (only inside of door) attach an Amethyst Stone either by glue or whatever method of attaching you prefer. At upper Right Corner of door attach an Onyx Stone. Move to the bottom Left Corner of door and attach an Onyx Stone and finish with attaching an Amethyst Stone to the Right Corner. This is an amazing method to raise the vibration and cleansing flow of your home.  

 We all try our best to keep our bodies clean and free of negative energy so why wouldn’t we do same for our home? After all, our home should always be our main sanctuary. If you find yourself needing a spiritual real estate consultant, please feel free to contact me.

How Meditation Can Improve Your Life

Meditation is more than just sitting in silence or chanting a mantra. It’s a powerful practice that can transform every area of your life if embraced consistently. With its benefits becoming widely recognized, meditation has shifted from ancient spiritual traditions to a staple of modern self-care routines.

Whether you’re searching for clarity during a personal crisis, trying to improve your focus, or seeking a way to lead a calmer, more centered life, daily meditation can be the key to unlocking your potential and connecting with your truest self.

What Is Meditation?

At its core, meditation is an exercise in awareness. You deliberately focus your attention to calm the mind, heighten awareness, and access a deeper sense of presence. While there are many forms of meditation—from mindfulness to transcendental practices—they all share the common goal of cultivating peace and clarity.

Contrary to popular belief, meditation doesn’t require hours of effort or complete stillness. It’s a flexible practice that can adapt to your schedule and needs, making it accessible to everyone, regardless of experience.

The Benefits of Daily Meditation

Developing a daily meditation practice isn’t just about feeling calmer (though that’s a bonus!). There are numerous mental, emotional, and even physical benefits that can significantly enhance your well-being.

  1. Improved Focus

The modern world is filled with distractions, from notifications pinging on your phone to endless to-do lists. Meditation trains your brain to stay present, improving your attention span and ability to focus on tasks. Imagine finally completing a project without feeling your mind wandering every few minutes!

  1. Reduced Stress and Anxiety

Life’s challenges can feel overwhelming, but meditation offers a safe space to process and release negative emotions. Through regular practice, you’ll notice a significant reduction in stress levels as your body learns to activate its relaxation response, lowering cortisol (the stress hormone).

  1. Enhanced Emotional Awareness

Ever reacted impulsively in a heated moment and regretted it later? Meditation builds emotional resilience by helping you notice and process emotions without judgment. Over time, this leads to improved relationships and a deeper understanding of your inner world.

  1. Better Sleep

Struggling with restless nights? Meditation can quiet the mental chatter that often disrupts sleep. A nighttime meditation routine is particularly effective at helping you drift into a peaceful slumber, leading to more rejuvenating rest.

  1. A Stronger Connection to Self

Daily meditation encourages you to listen inwardly, fostering a connection with your authentic self. It gives you the clarity to align your actions with your values, creating a life that truly feels like your own.

6 Steps to Start a Meditation Practice

If you’ve never meditated before, starting can feel overwhelming. But remember, like any skill, meditation gets better with practice. Here’s how you can begin your daily practice today.

Step 1: Choose Your Space

Find a quiet, comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed. It could be a corner of your room, a peaceful backyard space, or even your car during a lunch break.

Step 2: Commit to a Time

Start small, committing to just 5–10 minutes a day. Mornings are ideal for setting an intention for the day, while evenings can help you unwind.

Step 3: Focus on Your Breath

Your breath is a powerful anchor. Close your eyes, take a deep breath in through your nose, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Feel the rhythm of your breathing and notice how it grounds you in the present moment.

Step 4: Use Guided Meditations

If silence feels intimidating, try a guided meditation. Apps like Headspace or Calm, or platforms like YouTube, offer sessions tailored to beginners.

Step 5: Be Kind to Yourself

It’s natural for your mind to wander. When it does, gently redirect your focus back to your breath without judgment. Each time you return to the present moment, you’re strengthening your meditation practice.

Step 6: Reflect on Your Practice

After meditating, take a moment to notice how you feel. Even a few minutes can bring a sense of peace and clarity that carries into the rest of your day.

Building a Meaningful Habit

The true magic of meditation lies in consistency. Just as we exercise the body to stay fit, meditation exercises the mind. Over time, you’ll discover that it’s not just a practice but a way of life.

Meditation doesn’t require perfection. Every deep breath, every moment of stillness, every single attempt adds up to profound growth. And when practiced daily, it nurtures not just your spiritual self, but your emotional and physical well-being too.

Take the Next Step in Your Spiritual Journey

Explore guided meditations, join discussions with like-minded individuals, and discover how meditation can elevate your spiritual path.

How to Move Forward in Grief

Grieving is one of the most profound human experiences. It has the power to break us open, revealing depths of emotion we never knew existed. But while grief feels isolating, it doesn’t have to be a dead-end road. It can also be a path to profound healing and spiritual growth, if approached with patience, self-compassion, and intention.

If you’re navigating loss right now, know this: every person’s grief is unique, and there is no timeline or “right way” to process it. What matters most is allowing yourself the space to grieve on your terms.

What Is Grief, Really?

Grief is so much more than sadness. It’s a deep response to loss, whether it’s the loss of a loved one, a relationship, a job, or even a way of life. It’s messy, complex, and multidimensional, touching every part of who we are – physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually.

Grief holds both pain and potential. It tears us apart but also provides an opportunity to piece ourselves back together in new, meaningful ways. To move forward in grief isn’t about “getting over” your loss but learning how to integrate it into your life with love and resilience.

Why Grief Can Be Healing

You may wonder, “How can anything so painful produce growth or healing?” The truth is, grief has a way of breaking down barriers, allowing us to connect deeply with ourselves, others, and even something greater than ourselves. It fosters self-awareness, clarity, and an understanding of what truly matters to us.

Grief teaches us to honor what we’ve lost, live fully in the present, and shape our future with intention.

The Healing Power of Grief:

  • Facilitates Self-Reflection: Grief prompts us to examine our values, desires, and priorities.
  • Encourages Connection: Sharing grief with a community or loved ones fosters trust and intimacy.
  • Builds Resilience: Each small moment of coping adds strength to your emotional toolkit.
  • Fosters Spiritual Growth: For many, grief becomes a doorway to deeper spiritual exploration and connection.

How to Move Forward in Grief

If you’re ready to grow and heal through grief, here are steps to guide the process. Remember, moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting; it means finding a way to carry your sorrow alongside hope and love.

  1. Acknowledge and Honor Your Feelings

Grief often comes with a whirlwind of emotions – sadness, anger, confusion, guilt, and even relief. These feelings are all valid. Acknowledge them without judgment, and allow yourself to sit with them. Honor your emotions as valuable messengers.

Practice: Journal your feelings daily or simply say, “I feel ___, and that’s okay.”

  1. Grieve At Your Own Pace

There’s no finish line for grief. Don’t pressure yourself to “move on” faster than feels comfortable. Healing is not linear, and revisiting your feelings as needed is a natural part of the process.

Reflection Prompt: Are you allowing yourself to grieve in your own way, or are you influenced by external expectations?

  1. Turn to Trusted Connections

While grief might make you want to retreat, connection often helps us find light in the darkness. Reach out to friends, family, mentors, or spiritual communities. Sometimes simply being heard can lighten the burden.

Activity: Share one favorite memory of what you’ve lost with someone you trust.

  1. Explore Healing Practices

Different practices resonate with different people, but all can help you express grief, find peace, or feel grounded.

  • Creative Outlets: Art, writing, music, or dance can channel your emotions.
  • Spiritual Rituals: Lighting candles, prayer, or creating a memory shrine offers a connection to something sacred.
  1. Seek Professional Support When Needed

There’s no shame in needing extra guidance. Counselors, therapists, or spiritual guides can help you process your grief more deeply and provide tools to cope. Sometimes, connecting with others who have faced similar losses (through support groups) can be profoundly healing.

  1. Create Space for Gratitude and Joy

Grief and joy can coexist. While it’s important to feel your sorrow, also give yourself permission to welcome gratitude and moments of happiness. These moments don’t betray your loss but honor it by reminding you of life’s beauty.

Example Practice: Before bed, write down one small thing you’re grateful for each day.

Grief is a Journey, Not a Destination

Walking forward in grief is one of life’s most challenging but meaningful journeys. It’s not about leaving your pain behind but learning how to carry it in a way that transforms and empowers you.

Be kind to yourself as you process loss. Trust your unique timeline, seek support when needed, and remember that healing is always possible.

Finding Balance in Life

Balancing career, relationships, and spirituality can feel like juggling too many hats all at once. Modern life often pulls us in different directions, leaving little room to breathe, reflect, or just be. But what if these aspects of our lives weren’t separate battles to fight but interconnected pieces of a harmonious whole?

Finding this balance isn’t about perfection; it’s about honoring your values, fostering connections, and creating space for mindfulness. Here’s how to begin aligning career ambitions, meaningful relationships, and a fulfilling spiritual practice to lead a more balanced and joyful life.

Aligning Your Career with Your Values

A career doesn’t have to simply be a job; it can be a reflection of your values and purpose. When your work aligns with your core principles, every project feels more meaningful. Here’s how to bring your career into balance with your values:

  • Define Your Purpose Ask yourself, “What impact do I want to make through my work?” Defining your purpose is a powerful way to stay grounded and motivated, even when work gets hectic.
  • Set Boundaries Work-life boundaries are essential. Make clear distinctions between working hours and personal time to safeguard your energy. Remember, resting is productive!
  • Celebrate Small Wins Honor your progress at every stage. Whether it’s finishing a complex task or navigating a challenging day, celebrating small successes fuels motivation and self-esteem.

By aligning your career with your personal goals, work becomes less of a struggle and more of a fulfilling part of your day.

Nurturing Meaningful Relationships

Relationships are the heart of your well-being. But when deadlines loom and schedules fill up, it’s easy for meaningful connections to take a backseat. Here’s how to nurture those relationships while staying balanced:

  • Be Present Active listening and undivided attention transform conversations into deeper connections. Leave the phone aside; focus on truly hearing your loved ones.
  • Set Healthy Boundaries Relationships thrive when they’re built on mutual respect. Prioritize self-care, say “no” when you need to, and make room for quality over quantity in your interactions.
  • Express Gratitude A heartfelt message or a small “thank you” can uplift relationships in ways you wouldn’t imagine. Gratitude strengthens bonds and invites more positivity into your life.

By investing time and energy into the people who matter most, you create a network of support and joy that carries you through life’s peaks and valleys.

Cultivating Spirituality and Inner Peace

Spirituality isn’t confined to meditation on a cushion or time spent in sacred spaces. It’s a deeply personal experience of connecting with yourself, your values, and the world around you. Here’s how to make spirituality a regular part of your life:

  • Practice Mindfulness Daily Bring mindfulness into your routine with small, intentional acts. A few deep breaths in between tasks or savoring your morning coffee can ground you in the present.
  • Explore Meditation Meditation doesn’t have to be intimidating! Start small with guided meditations or just sit quietly for five minutes to reflect and reset.
  • Seek Community and Guidance Engaging with others on a similar spiritual path can provide encouragement. Join conversations, attend workshops, or explore communities where you feel supported.

Spirituality is the foundation that keeps you grounded amid life’s chaos, helping you reconnect with your purpose and clarity.

Practical Tips for Achieving Balance

Integrating your career, relationships, and spirituality into one harmonious life takes practice and intention. Here are practical steps you can use to achieve better balance:

  • Master Time Management: Use tools like planners or time-blocking methods to allocate time for work, loved ones, and yourself. Keep flexibility in your schedule for the unexpected.
  • Prioritize Self-Care: Self-care isn’t selfish. A good night’s sleep, nourishing meals, and physical activity recharge your energy for everything else.
  • Schedule Reflection Time Reflect on your week. What went well? What could be adjusted? Journaling or moments of quiet contemplation can give you clarity on your priorities.
  • Limit Multitasking Focus on one task or interaction at a time. Multitasking can diminish the quality of your work and connections, leaving you feeling drained.
  • Create a Morning Ritual Begin each day with intention. Whether it’s meditation, journaling, or simply stretching with your morning coffee, a ritual can set a positive tone for the hours ahead.

The Power of Imperfection

It’s essential to remember that balance isn’t about perfection. Life itself is dynamic, constantly shifting and evolving. There will be days when work takes more of your focus, relationships feel strained, or your spiritual practice takes a backseat. And that’s okay.

The beauty of balance lies in adaptability, in recognizing when adjustments are needed and having the courage to create them. Through kindness toward yourself and a mindset centered on incremental growth; balance naturally finds its way into your life.

The Journey Towards Harmony

Balancing career, relationships, and spirituality is a continual, rewarding process. By aligning your work with your values, nurturing meaningful connections, and cultivating mindfulness, you can lead a life filled with purpose and joy.

Why You’re Here: Embracing Your Sacred Purpose in a Divided World

flower 2“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”
Anaïs Nin

 

Over the last several years, I’ve met and worked with a LOT of people who have started to delve deeper into their lives.  Looking, in many cases, for the first time, into WHY they are here, HOW their life could be more meaningful, more in alignment with the Sacred Contract they have for this lifetime.  People from seemingly every walk of life, gender, orientation, geographic location. 

For me, it has been absolutely beautiful to have a chance to interact with them, and perhaps to play some small role in their unfolding, some maybe tour guide role in helping them to navigate their journey.

Even though I serve in that capacity somewhat regularly, I’m finding in my own life a different sense of frustration. Even though I subscribe to the belief that in all things, it will all be fine in the end, and that if in this moment, all things are not fine, it is not the end.

I know this to be true, and that does provide me with some comfort when I view a nation and world that seems more divided, more hate filled than any time in my nearly 72-years of life (this time). 🙂

There is a powerful reason that each one of us has signed up to be who we are, where we are at this exact moment in time.  We each have an important role to play as the evolutionary change that is on the horizon arrives, unfolds, and becomes our new normal.

Hopefully that makes you feel special and important.  Because you are.

While I’m confident that I’m not the only person who struggles to not allow myself to get down in the mud, to work (and allow) myself to stay in alignment with who I believe I came here to be, there are days that not meeting hate with hate is a challenge.

There is good news though.  We do not have to be perfect.  Ever.  Actually, because we are human, perfection is not even on the menu.  So, if in any moment, we do the best we can from where we are, and if we fall short, we forgive ourselves and begin again… it seems that should be enough.

I believe that there have not been many times where it has been more important to hold peace and love in our individual hearts; to create and hold a vision of the world that is possible, where peace and love are the dominant force for everyone.

A world where more and more people remember that there is only US. There is NO THEM. 

Often, I’m reminded of the benediction that was a regular part of worship at the church I used to attend.

Go forth into the world in peace.

Be of good courage.

Hold fast that which is good.

Render to no one evil for evil.

Strengthen the fainthearted.

Support the weak.

Help the afflicted.

Show love to everyone.

Love and serve the Lord,

rejoicing in the power of the Holy Spirit;

and the blessing of almighty God,

the Father, the + Son, and the Holy Spirit,

be among you and remain with you always. Amen.


That seems like wonderful guidance to help me be who I am, who I came here to be.

Please feel free to add it to your guiding principles, if it fits.

Dreams & Dream Messages: Unlocking Guidance from Your Subconscious and the Universe – Part 2

Part 2
Daydreams and Their Messages

Daydreaming is often seen as a distraction, but what if it’s actually a message from your subconscious, a bridge to your intuition, or even whispers from the divine? These mental wanderings can serve as tools for creative problem-solving, emotional healing, and spiritual insight, offering access to wisdom that may not come through in your waking consciousness.

What Are Daydreams?

A daydream is a spontaneous and often involuntary thought process where your mind drifts into imagined scenarios, ideas, or fantasies. Unlike nighttime dreams, which occur in deep sleep, daydreams happen while you are awake—often when you are relaxed or not fully engaged in a specific task.

During a daydream, your mind weaves together thoughts, emotions, and memories, forming stories or visions that can be as subtle as a passing thought or as vivid as a full scene playing out in your mind. These mental wanderings may seem random, but they often carry hidden meaning and insight.

The Purpose of Daydreaming: More Than Just Escaping Reality

Daydreaming is not just mental escapism; it serves an essential purpose. It allows for creative breakthroughs, emotional processing, stress relief, and deeper intuition. Instead of dismissing them, see them as moments of self-exploration and insight.

If you keep daydreaming about the same place, person, or situation, your soul may be trying to tell you something. These recurring thoughts can reveal hidden desires, unresolved emotions, or even glimpses of what’s to come.

Daydreams as a Tool for Self-Discovery

Daydreams often reflect your deepest desires, fears, and emotions—even if you’re not consciously aware of them. If you experience recurring daydreams about a specific situation, person, or outcome, it could be a sign that your soul is trying to get your attention.

Pay attention to recurring daydreams – If a particular thought or scenario keeps playing in your mind, it likely has a deeper meaning. If a daydream stirs intense feelings, and you have a strong emotional response, it may reveal something important about your inner state. Some daydreams feel more vivid than others, you experience unusual clarity or detail, almost like a vision rather than a simple thought. For example, If you constantly daydream about moving to a new city or changing careers, your intuition could be nudging you toward a real-life transformation.

Spiritual Insight: Some daydreams carry messages from your higher self or the Universe. If a daydream feels mainly symbolic, uplifting, or profound, consider it a divine nudge toward your highest path.

The Science Behind Daydreaming: Shifting Brainwaves to Receive Messages

When you daydream, your brain naturally shifts into an alpha state—a relaxed, meditative brainwave pattern associated with creativity, problem-solving, and intuitive insight. If you relax even further, your brain may enter a theta state, which is linked to deep intuition, spiritual connection, and divine guidance. Alpha State (Relaxed Focus) Enhances creativity, helps generate solutions, and makes unexpected mental connections. Theta State (Deep Intuition) Opens the door to higher consciousness, divine messages, and subconscious wisdom.

Many intuitive and spiritual downloads happen during these moments of mental wandering. This is why visionaries, artists, and spiritual seekers often rely on daydreaming as a powerful tool for accessing inspiration.

Using Daydreams as a Spiritual Practice

Instead of letting daydreams come and go unnoticed, you can intentionally use them for self-discovery, creativity, and guidance. Here are some ways to work with them:

Step one: Notice Patterns in Your Daydreams and keep a journal of recurring themes, symbols, and emotions that appear in your daydreams. Over time, you may start seeing clear messages and insights emerge.
Step 2: Ask for Guidance Before Daydreaming. If you want to receive clarity on a situation, try setting an intention: “I invite my higher self to bring me insight through my daydreams today.” Then, simply allow your mind to wander naturally and observe what arises.
Step 3: Use Daydreams as a Visualization Tool. Since daydreams naturally engage the imagination, they are powerful for manifestation. If you keep seeing yourself in a specific scenario, lean into it—visualization is a key step in bringing your dreams to life.

Final Thoughts: Daydreaming as a Divine Gift

Daydreams are not distractions—they are doorways into your subconscious mind, a tool for problem-solving, and even a channel for spiritual messages.

The next time you find yourself drifting into a daydream ask yourself: What is this dream trying to tell me? Is there a deeper meaning behind this thought? How can I use this insight in my waking life?

Your inner world is full of wisdom—sometimes, you just have to let your mind wander to hear it.

Dreams & Dream Messages: Unlocking Guidance from Your Subconscious and the Universe – Part 1

Part 1
Dreams, whether experienced in sleep or as waking visions, serve as powerful channels of communication from the Universe, your subconscious, or your higher self. They offer insights, guidance, and healing in ways that often transcend logic.

Psychiatrist and intuition expert Judith Orloff describes four types of dreams that can reveal hidden truths, help solve problems, and even support emotional healing. Additionally, daydreams—often dismissed as distractions—can be another profound way messages reach us.

Psychological Dreams: Insights into Your Inner World

Psychological dreams reflect your inner world, mirroring your thoughts, fears, and emotions. They help you process feelings, confront hidden aspects of yourself, and gain clarity about your personal truths.

Unlike prophetic or spiritual dreams, psychological dreams are deeply personal, drawing from your life experiences, emotional patterns, and mental state.

Symbolism in Psychological Dreams

These dreams often communicate using symbols rather than direct messages. For example, being lost in a dream may symbolize uncertainty or feeling directionless in waking life. A storm could represent emotional turmoil or unresolved tension. A locked door might indicate something within yourself that you are not yet ready to explore.

A common psychological dream is being chased. Many people experience dreams of being pursued by an unknown figure, an animal, or even a shadowy presence. This often symbolizes avoidance. You may be running from a fear, an unresolved issue, or a truth you are hesitant to face. Ask yourself—what are you avoiding in your waking life? Is there a decision, conversation, or responsibility that feels overwhelming? Your dream is urging you to confront it instead of running away it.

Problem-Solving Dreams: Your Subconscious at Work

Problem-solving dreams act as a mental workshop, helping you navigate challenges and uncover creative solutions. Your subconscious mind continues working while you sleep, offering insights that might not emerge in your waking state.

These dreams often present symbolic solutions:
A key unlocking a door may suggest that a resolution is within reach.
Finding a map might symbolize clarity and direction for an issue you’re facing.
Climbing a mountain could represent perseverance and overcoming obstacles.

Why Problem-solving Dreams Matter Problem-solving dreams give you access to ideas and perspectives beyond your conscious mind. If you wake up with a strong feeling about a dream, write it down—there may be wisdom in its symbols waiting to be
deciphered.

Healing Dreams: Restoring Emotional and Spiritual Balance

Healing dreams bring comfort, release, and restoration. They often appear during emotionally challenging times, offering reassurance and guidance for inner healing.

How Healing Dreams Work

These dreams help process emotions, release trauma, or provide messages of comfort from a spiritual source. They may involve:
Symbolic Imagery—A warm light surrounding you may represent divine support.
Encounters with Loved Ones—You may dream of someone who has passed away, bringing a message of love and reassurance.
Physical Sensations—Feeling warmth, peace, or even a sense of being held can indicate spiritual healing.

Example: If you’re grieving, you may dream of a departed loved one embracing you, offering reassurance that they are still present in spirit.

Healing dreams serve as reminders that your soul is resilient and that unseen forces are always guiding you toward wholeness.

Dreams are a bridge between the conscious and the divine, offering guidance, healing, and insight. Whether through deep sleep, sudden visions, or even wandering thoughts, the Universe is always speaking.

Are you listening?

Asking for a Sign and Receiving an Answer

Have you ever found yourself at a crossroads, unsure which path to take? In those moments, asking the Universe for a sign can offer guidance, reassurance, and a sense of connection to something greater than yourself. But how do you ask? And more importantly, how do you recognize and trust the answer when it arrives?

Here’s how to navigate this practice with openness and trust.

Setting an Intention

The first step in asking for a sign is setting a clear and purposeful intention. Be specific about what you need guidance on and what kind of sign you would like to receive.

For example:
“Universe, if this is the right decision for me, show me a butterfly.”
“If I’m on the right path, let me see repeated numbers like 111 or 444.”

Approach this request with sincerity and an open heart. Think of it as a conversation with the Universe, your guides, or your higher self. By doing so, you create an energetic signal that you are ready to receive guidance.

Patience and Letting Go of Expectations

Once you’ve asked for a sign, release any expectations about how or when it will appear. Signs often show up in ways we don’t anticipate, and if we try too hard to control the process, we may block ourselves from seeing the answer.

Trust that the Universe hears your request and will respond in perfect timing. Be open to unexpected forms of communication—your sign might appear in a song, a passing conversation, or an object that suddenly catches your attention.

Avoid overanalyzing or second-guessing. Instead, allow the message to unfold naturally.

Recognizing and Trusting Confirmation

When a sign appears, acknowledge it and trust your inner knowing. Often, signs come with a feeling of deep alignment—a quiet, yet undeniable, “Yes, this is for me.”

Some signs may be subtle, while others are unmistakable. If you asked for a butterfly and suddenly a butterfly lands right in front of you, that’s your confirmation. If the Universe wants to make sure you don’t miss it, it may send the same message multiple times—repeated numbers, animals, or words that keep appearing in your daily life.

If you’re unsure, you can always ask for the sign to be shown again for clarity. The Universe is patient and will work with you until the message is fully understood.

Strengthening Your Connection to Signs

Receiving signs from the Universe can feel exhilarating when they flow freely—but at times, they may seem to disappear just when you feel like you need them most. This is part of spiritual growth. Trust that the connection is always present, even when it feels quiet.
Two key practices can help strengthen your ability to receive and interpret signs:

1. Gratitude: The Key to Strengthening the Flow

When you receive a sign, express gratitude—whether it’s a whisper of thanks, a journal entry, or a heartfelt acknowledgment.

Why? Because gratitude does more than show appreciation; it tells your brain to look for more signs.

Your brain is constantly filtering information, scanning for patterns based on what it believes is important. When you react to signs with excitement and appreciation, you train your mind to become more aware of the Universe’s messages.

2. Reflection: Understanding the Message

After recognizing a sign, take a moment to reflect on its meaning:
 How does it relate to your intention or current situation?
 What emotions arise when you see it?
 Does the sign bring clarity, or does it ask you to be patient and trust?

Your mind may want to overanalyze, but instead of dissecting the sign, feel into the moment. If needed, ask your higher self or spirit guides for additional clarity.

Sometimes, the answer comes in ways we don’t expect—a sign may show up in a form that’s outside the box of what you originally asked for. The Universe has its own way of guiding you, and part of the process is learning to trust and build a relationship with a higher power.

Aligning with the Flow of Guidance

Asking for a sign isn’t about demanding answers; it’s about co-creating with the Universe. By setting a clear intention, letting go of expectations, and remaining open to confirmation, you create space for divine guidance to flow.

The Universe wants to communicate with you. Are you ready to listen?

Signs, Synchronicities, and the Universe’s Nudges: Are You Paying Attention?

Have you ever experienced something that made you stop in your tracks? A moment so oddly timed that it felt like the universe was speaking directly to you?

Maybe you’ve been thinking about an old friend, and suddenly they call. Or you keep seeing the same repeating number everywhere. Or perhaps, like me, you hit roadblock after roadblock in something you were convinced was the “right” decision—only to realize much later that those obstacles were actually guiding you to something better.

When Life Says “No,” It Might Mean “Look Again”

Not long ago, I was trying to secure a home improvement loan. I was sure it was the right move—logically, it made sense. But after researching, applying, and trying every avenue, the answer was still no.

I thought I understood why it wasn’t working out, but something in me wondered: Was this more than just bad timing? Was I being guided in another direction?

Looking back now, I can see that not getting the loan led me to a completely different path—one that turned out to be far better than what I had originally planned.

Was the loan rejection a sign? I believe it was. Even though I couldn’t see it at the time, life was nudging me toward something I hadn’t yet imagined.

Where Do Signs Come From?

We often think of signs and synchronicities as coincidences, but what if they’re not?

Some signs feel external—like messages from nature, chance encounters, or perfectly timed events. Others arise within us, like strong gut feelings or sudden flashes of clarity. These moments feel different from our usual thoughts. They have a weight, a presence, as if they are
“new” information being given to us rather than something we thought up ourselves.

So if these signs aren’t coming from our own minds, where do they come from?

The Web of Connection

You’ve probably heard the phrase, we are all connected. But what does that actually mean?

Think of the internet. A vast, invisible network, connecting people across the globe. Now, imagine something even more expansive—a web of energy, connecting all beings, all thoughts, all possibilities. This is what I call the One Mind or the Akashic Field. It is the mind of the Creator, the Source of all that is.

Thoughts are energy, and energy moves. Just like entering a search into a web browser, our thoughts send out signals into this vast field. Some thoughts are mundane—what you had for breakfast. Others hold deep significance—insights that guide you toward your highest path.

Signs as Invitations to Expand

Signs, synchronicities, and nudges are ways the universe invites you to go larger in your life. They push you beyond your current thought patterns, beyond your comfort zone, toward something more aligned with your Soul’s path.

Your Soul and the Divine are always communicating with you. You also have a team—guides, guardians, and loved ones in spirit—who support your journey. They aren’t pushing you to be someone you’re not; they’re reminding you of who you already are.

Of course, not every influence in your life has your best interests at heart. Some obstacles are just part of being human. Some resistance comes from within—old fears, doubts, and conditioning. But for now, let’s focus on the loving force that does want the best for you. The one that whispers, nudges, and, sometimes, outright blocks the wrong path so you can find the right one.

Why Does This Matter?

Maybe you feel content with where you are. And that’s okay.

But life is temporary. As Bugs Bunny wisely said, “None of us is getting out of here alive.”

We’re here to explore, learn, grow, and experience. The signs you receive aren’t about forcing change on you; they’re about helping you enjoy your life, uncover your dreams, and actually live them.

Which brings me back to my home improvement loan.

I thought I needed that loan to make my home “better.” But my Soul knew better. It knew I was meant for something more. The “no” I received was actually a redirection toward something that truly fulfilled me.

So the next time life puts up a roadblock, ask yourself: Is this just an obstacle? Or is it a sign?

And if it is a sign, where might it be leading you?

Using Gratitude to Raise the Energies

We all know that being grateful, and showing gratitude is a keyway of creating incentive to move ourselves out of a rut, and it can be instrumental in our own healing, and to give us perspective.

It can drive us towards manifesting positive outcomes, promote forgiveness and understanding, and mostly make us realize that our own problems, in many cases, are solvable. It can pull us out of Victim mentality, and even on the darkest of days, a glimpse of Gratitude can help shift things in a positive way.

A lot of emphasis around gratitude has been based on manifesting and creating what we desire or want in our lives. This can be money, a lovely home, a healthy relationship, a job we want and more. For the individual, this can be empowering, however we now need to shift
this to a collective consciousness.

To achieve this, we must be aware of the light and the dark. We cannot afford to put ourselves into a state of denial, as this ungrounds us.

We, as human and spiritual beings must become aware of when Gratitude is being used as a tool to manipulate people into unethical practices.

The importance of this is to have an awareness of the lower and darker energies that are happening. Just because things appear pretty on the surface, does not mean that they are.

“If you observe for long enough, people will reveal who they truly are.”

You do this by considering what a person may be intending gain for themselves, to listen to your instincts and intuition. To become self-aware of any agenda of your own, which may subconsciously influence your perception. Going into some sort of Spiritual denial of the darkness, putting blinders on because you want to see only the good in people, does not serve you, or humanity, and it does not raise the vibration. It achieves nothing. You need to have an awareness of the darkness to counteract it, much like an antidote for venom. You cannot administer the antidote if you deny what the true illness or injury is.

Therefore, it is important to be aware if the source of the gratitude has an agenda for self-gain or not. To do this, we can identify if there is a selfish agenda behind a show of Gratitude.

We can ask the question: “Who stands to gain power by showing or staging this gratitude”? Look for patterns. Is the person repeatedly using big words, causing hype? A helpful way to identify if Gratitude is being used as a manipulative tool, is that you will find yourself feeling some sort of sense of obligation, that feeling of cognitive dissonance where you are being pulled into agreeing, it “appears” to be good, but your gut says otherwise. This is a false spiritual connection.

We see powerful leaders in many sectors showing gratitude, and staging empathy, while around the world people are dying, losing their jobs, families are being broken up, being moved from pillar to post. This staged persona is to get people to trust and see a leader as a “good” person, so that they trust and believe what is said to be true.

Spirit has told me that:
“TRUE GRATITUDE HAS NO AGENDA, IT IS TO GIVE ENERGY TO OTHERS, NOT TO CONTROL THEM OR TAKE FROM THEM.”

As humanity is heading towards a major shift in consciousness, and our old ways of living are breaking down, causing upheaval in society, and the planet makes her voice heard through earth changes, it is our responsibility as lightworkers, highly sensitives, and Spiritual beings to increase the positive energy.

One way of doing this is by sharing “Gratitude without Agenda.” To give pure and legitimate energy rather than to deceive and to take the energy from a person or people.

Gratitude without agenda is a pure energy, that has an uplifting effect, therefore raising the energy of a person. We need to shift our gratitude away from material things and send that gratitude to each other. Let a person know what is special about them, and how grateful you are for that. Raise that person’s energy up and encourage others to do the same. Send gratitude to ALL living things, animals, plants, the earth. Material objects come and go, they go out of fashion, cause competition. Shift your gratitude to things that can receive it and benefit from it.

The more we do this, the higher the vibration of energy is created, which reconnects us into the flow of the higher Spiritual Realms.

You lose nothing by showing pure gratitude, in fact you become uplifted yourself.

We need to move humanity beyond this stuck human cycle, where the best and the worst comes out of us to the surface, in a disaster and then we revert right back to how we were before. We need to evolve our consciousness and move to a state of balance where we intentionally help uplift each other regardless of a situation, which will allow us to hold that higher vibration as the norm, and therefore, raising humanity towards the 5th dimensional consciousness’.
