Return to Lily Dale in 2024

Return to Lily Dale in 2024

I will once again be making a journey from Oklahoma to Western New York. I fondly remember my first visit to the spiritualist community of Lily Dale, NY in 2014. Since that initial trek east, I have made the journey ten times, and it will be the tenth season that I have presented for Lily Dale Assembly.

Lily Dale has been an integral part of my spiritual journey. You may be guided to read my blog, Basking in the Energy of Lily Dale, to understand why the place is so special to me. I always make the most of my time on the sacred grounds surrounded by Cassadaga Lake and the Leolyn Woods. Although I am there to teach, I also appreciate being immersed in the beautiful healing energy.

While I am there July 9-13, I will be doing an author talk at Sacred Grounds Coffee House in Lily Dale on Wednesday, July 10 at 6 pm.

On July 11, I will be presenting the full-day workshop titled, Exploration of your Energy Self where we will embark on an energetic awareness journey to explore your energy self.

On July 12, I will be teaching another full-day workshop titled, Exploration of your Intuitive Self. This workshop is intended to deepen and strengthen your connection to Spirit as you hone your intuitive skills and build confidence in trusting the information you receive.

Friday evening, I will teach Self-Care for Sensitives. It is an experiential self-care workshop for sensitives. Our time together will be one of connection, inspiration, empowerment and rejuvenation.

Please scroll below for a synopsis of each event offered as well as additional information regarding each one.

Intermediate Mediumship 4-week Class Series

This series will be held on Mondays in February from 6-8 pm CT. Cost is $175 for the 4-week class series (8 hours class time plus private session). 

This 4-week intermediate class series will focus on delving deeper and tuning in mediumistically. Each class will be interactive and experiential, which means I am asking you to feel comfortable making connections, receiving information and then sharing what comes through. In addition to making your own connections, I also ask for your willingness to allow others in the class to connect to your loved ones in Spirit. Your commitment to attend all 4 classes is essential.

We will begin each class by doing a brief introduction followed by a method to build the energy in order to make Spirit connections. These classes will focus on mediumistic exploration and will involve conveying the information as it flows to you. We will utilize various means to connect including psychometry, direct and open connection. Making connections to those in Spirit will entail providing recognizable evidence and beneficial messages. The first and second class will focus on discussing aspects of mediumship and laying the groundwork for future classes. The final two classes will focus entirely on making connections. Your abilities and skills will not be tested or graded. However, I will provide supportive feedback through my observations.

Please note that I realize there are many approaches and techniques for practicing mediumship as well as numerous teachers offering mediumship classes. I encourage you to trust in the information that flows to you, while not comparing yourself to others and how they work. With that said, observing other demonstrating mediums will offer awareness in striving for evidence and compassionate communication skills.

As part of this series, I am offering availability for one-on-one Zoom meetings. First session is included as a participant of the intermediate class series. If you wish to schedule additional sessions, they will be offered on a love donation basis.

Calm within the Chaos

Calm within the Chaos

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it.
If we’re frantic, life will be frantic. If we’re peaceful, life will be peaceful.

~ Marianne Williamson

Any time the energy around you feels a bit heavy or overwhelming, it is essential for you to remember that you have the power to shift the energy. You can allow what is happening around you to affect you or you can maintain the calm within the chaos and consciously choose how you wish to respond. Becoming aware of your own energetic emission is necessary, so that you can gauge what feels “off” to you.

I have mentioned before that I am aware of issues connected to Mercury Retrograde, but I don’t intentionally fuel them with fear or worry. During my time in Kansas City recently, my patience was really tested as I experienced numerous challenges. There were issues involving my email, website, communication and even my own energy. On four separate occasions, I actually had to have my hotel room key reprogrammed. Each time was a reminder to pause, breathe and do my best to stay in a space of grace.

To experience peace does not mean that your life is always blissful.
It means that you are capable of tapping into a blissful state of mind
amidst the normal chaos of a hectic life.
~ Jill Bolte Taylor

When there is perceived chaos surrounding you, come back to you by grounding and centering your energy. To ground your energy, visualize your legs as tree roots growing into the earth below and work with grounding crystals, such as hematite, jet, smoky quartz and black tourmaline. Staying hydrated assists with grounding as well.

Then, center your energy by visualizing white light at your core and see that light shifting to yellow, which is the color of the solar plexus chakra. Breathe in peace, love, calmness and serenity as you exhale the heavy, lower vibrational energy that may be affecting you. Remember, often times you cannot control what is happening around you, but you can attain the peace within and choose how you wish to respond.

Connect to the Wisdom Within

Connect to the Wisdom Within

Our soul is already awake; it is our mind/human-ness that is remembering. Accessing our intuition and listening to the signals provided by our physical body will assist us with connecting to the knowingness of our soul – the wisdom within.

Paulo Coelho reminds us that “Intuition is really a sudden immersion of the soul into the universal current of life.” Aristotle defined wisdom as “intuitive reason combined with scientific knowledge.”

How do we access this wisdom within?
Through meditation. By quieting the mind, so the soul can speak.

At the heart of your being lies your answer. You know who you are and what you want. ~ Laozi

Take time each day to connect with YOU, your inner self, through meditation in the manner that resonates with you personally. The act of meditation takes many forms. It can be sitting quietly in reflection, listening to a guided meditation, going for a walk or spending time outdoors in nature. The intent of meditation is to just BE and listen to the guidance you are receiving. In doing so, you are accessing the wisdom within.

Quiet your mind and let your spirit speak. What knowledge does it wish to impart on you? Who are you? Why are you here having this human life experience? What lessons are you intended to learn during this incarnation? As you pose these questions and any others, listen to what is conveyed to you through thoughts, words, feelings and impressions. Allow yourself to embrace this clarity and greater knowing of who you really are as you connect to the wisdom within.

Practicing Mindfulness

Practicing Mindfulness

mindful

Mindfulness helps you to touch the wonders of life for self-nourishment and healing.
~
Thich Nhat Hanh

Zen Master Thich Nhat Hanh (Tik · N’yat · Hawn) is a spiritual leader, author, poet and peace activist, who is respected throughout the world for his powerful teachings on mindfulness and peace. Among his many important teachings is that in order to heighten one’s awareness, it is essential to be mindful of all that is experienced in each and every moment. He teaches that incorporating enhanced awareness into our daily life will ultimately enrich our lives.

An influential and inspirational presence, Thich Nhat Hanh is affectionately known as Thay (pronounced “Tay” or “Tie”) by his students, which is the Vietnamese word for teacher. He influenced my own personal journey into consciousness as well as that of numerous others, and I have found that his key teaching is that, “through mindfulness, we can learn to live happily in the present moment, which is the only way to truly develop peace, both in one’s self and in the world.”

The Plum Village.org website talks about mindfulness as, “the energy of being aware and awake to the present moment. It is the continuous practice of touching life deeply in every moment of daily life. To be mindful is to be truly alive, present and at one with those around you and with what you are doing. We bring our body and mind into harmony while we wash the dishes, drive the car or take our morning shower.”

From my perspective, as we become more aware and mindful of our own personal power, we are better able to make conscious choices, and give ourselves permission to take control of our destiny instead of leaving it up to fate.

Life can be found only in the present moment. The past is gone, the future is not yet here,
and if we do not go back to ourselves in the present moment, we cannot be in touch with life.
~
Thich Nhat Hanh

By shifting perception of an experience, the experience itself will change, including those in the past, the ones that are presently occurring and those that have yet to happen. This transformation involves altering one’s mindset and attitude as well as being mindful of one’s thoughts, words and actions – the energetic emission that radiates from each one of us.
