'SPIRITUAL SPACES' by Sue G, Malvern, PA.
(A GOOD VIEW)My cats love my window seat in my house, even though the view isn't spectacular. That's where they watch leaves scatter, chat with birds, curl up for a nap in the sunlight, and wait for me to come home. Every day I take each cat for a walk on the patio while the other sits at the window & waits his turn. Seeing a cat on the window seat...for me, that's the best view there is. It reminds me to be more like my cats --to be patient and generous and to see beauty in the tinest of things.
THIS MONTH: Simple & Effective -- The Bedtime Meditation
During a busy day, it's hard to find time to focus & meditate effectively. So as soon as you get into bed, try this simple mantra-based technique. Start with five to 10 minutes, it may even help those who struggle falling to sleep!
1. Lying on your back, close your eyes and notice your breath.
2. As you inhale, focus on a soothing phrase, such as "I am safe and whole." You can say it aloud or in your mind. When exhaling, silently repeat the phrase. The specific phrase isn't that important; the mantra's purpose is to give your mind something simple to focus on.
3. If your mind wanders, gently turn your attention back to your breath and back to the mantra.
4: As listed above, repeat this mahntra for 5-10 minutes. You will notice yourself becoming more relaxed & your mind will become more clearer with each repetition.
As a psychic medium, the most asked question would probably be 'So when did you first realize you had this ability'. Because my birthday is this month, I thought I'd share with you my first experience with the afterlife.
It's always been hard for me to figure out when exactly I realized I could communicate with Spirit. Ever since I could remember, I always had this feeling of being 'never truly alone'. I never woke up from a life threatening illness with a new lease on life & this ability. I never had an experience where the Heavens ripped open and God himself appeared to me. My first encounter, suprising to many, was more subtle & in many ways --'natural'.
I was 5 years old, visiting my grandparents house in Babylon, NY. It was the day after Christmas & the family had come over for holiday left-overs . As soon as we were done eating, I began coloring my new coloring book I'd recieved the night before. Laid out on the floor I was creatively at work when I heard a voice explaining, "The phone is going to ring, if your grandmother starts crying, just hug hard her for me, we'll be together real soon."
Before I could even process what I just heard, the phone rang, my grandmother picked up. It was a woman who called to inform my grandparents that Sal, a close friend of the family, had passed away on Christmas Eve. As soon as she hung up the phone, she told my family the news & instantly became overwhelmed with tears. I thought to myself 'How did I know that the phone was going to ring? How did I know she would become upset by the call?'. At the time, as confusing as it was, I didn't ignore it nor question it further. I simply listened to what I was told and put coloring on hold. I climbed up to my grandma who was visably shaken. I gave her the biggest hug I could & then whispered, "don't cry, you will see each other again before you know it".
I'll never forget that moment, this sad situation somehow brought my grandmother & I closer. Looking back, it may have foreshadowed my grandmother's own mortality & my connection with her. My grandmother would pass away, a latter 6 years to the day I had my first memorable experience with Spirit.
