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.

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.

Everything is Energy

Everything is Energy

Energy definition according to Merriam-Webster dictionary:

  1. the strength and vitality required for sustained physical or mental activity (a person’s physical and mental powers, typically as applied to a particular task or activity)
  2. power derived from the utilization of physical or chemical resources, especially to provide light and heat or to work machines

No activity is possible without energy, and its total amount in the universe is fixed. In other words, energy cannot be created or destroyed, but can only be changed from one type to another. This includes your loved ones who have transitioned from the earth plane. They no longer have a physical body, but still remain energy.

Breath is life-force energy. When we restrict our breathing, we diminish our life energy. Deep breathing expands the lungs, which then send a direct message to your heart, which in turn starts beating slower. Focus your awareness on your breath – each inhalation and exhalation. Is it shallow or deep, slow or fast, smooth or rough, regular or irregular?

Thoughts, words, action = energy!

Be mindful of the energy you are putting out into the Universe with your thoughts, words and actions as you are attracting this same energy back into your life. What you focus on becomes your reality. Your self-talk and the other thoughts running through your mind are similar to radio signals. Choose to be conscious of those energetic emissions.

What energetic emission/radio transmission are you sending out? No need to define it as “good” or “bad.” Simply have the awareness of your energy. Is your energy scattered or focused/grounded? Empowered or dis-empowered? Clingy/needy or confident? Stable or unstable? Joyful/happy or unhappy? Light or heavy? Now, take a deep breath and really tap into creating consciously with your energetic emission.

Journey with Support

Journey with Support

marcelproustquote

Let us be grateful to people who make us happy, they are the charming gardeners
who make our souls blossom
. ~ Marcel Proust

We are not alone on this journey…

Every human being desires to not only feel loved, but to give love as well. It is innate within each one of us to want to connect with others, to want to be open and to live an authentic life. We want to love and to be loved in return. Expressing love and sharing kindness takes such a small effort, yet has an enormous effect. This ripple of love surpasses anything anyone could imagine if they would simply allow this love to come in. There is an essential need for people to grow together, support one another and walk together as both human companions and soul companions.

Recognizing your connection to those people who are in your life today will assist you in understanding the important roles we play in each other’s lives. Please remember though to not compare your journey to anyone else’s journey as we are all having our own unique human life experiences. As fellow travelers on this journey into consciousness, let’s be happy for one another, celebrate the accomplishments and be supportive during the challenging times.

Personally speaking, I’ve had relationships with both friends and colleagues shift and change. It isn’t a bad thing per se, it just happens. My true friends know that I am always a phone call, text or email away if they need me. Some of my friends I am in daily contact with. Others, there may be days, weeks and even months that go by with very little contact, yet once we do talk; it’s as if no time has passed. To me, that is what true friendship is all about.

Some people feel hurt and neglected if they have friends who aren’t “daily connection” friends. When you feel this way, honor yourself and what you are feeling and then ask yourself a few questions. Have you reached out to those friends in your life? Have you let them know that you miss them or that you need them? Have you been the kind of friend to them that you want them to be? Friendship is most definitely a 2-way street.

Ultimately, we are here to support, encourage and love one another for this human life experience.
