Why I don’t hold back during a medium reading

One of the reasons I’m falling in love with showing up and serving as a Medium is the complete surrender I feel in the unknown and trust.

It’s a big deal to most humans to surrender. Our survival mode, ego and mind get activated and we begin to rationalize the information in front of us to navigate new terrain. We like knowing. We like being in control. It is a a safety thing. I’m really glad we have a mind, and ego to do that job. However, I also believe that job is shared, and maybe even has a boss.

The boss being the Universe, the powerful force of Life. Spirit and Oneness. It’s job of moving Love forward- creation- connection. Moving each one of us forward. The shared job of not just keeping us safe but living in joy here on earth living. The details of your day, paint the picture of your Life and the trillions of ripples each creates. Universe is rooting for us, wanting us to succeed, so why not listen in?

This is where I love coming in! Because in moments of complete trust I ground in that connection of universal love and listen in. Now what comes next is totally unknown. It’s unique to every reading. In a recent reading I did the first thing that came through was an image of an elephant and then a zebra. A zoomed in emphasize of the zebra stripes and I heard ‘ African Safari’. The sync of words, images repeated a couple of times and I knew I needed to ask my client how African Safari resonated and if she was planning a trip there. Spirit ( Big Boss energy remember) was super excited and I already knew was urging a huge lifetime trip. She replied with big eyes, “yes I’m seriously considering teaching Internationally and the African Safari has been on my radar. That’s exactly what I wanted to ask you today!”

When we ask and can listen in to the answers- without doubt, fear and insecurity of what you’ll hear back then it’s truly amazing how much information, guidance and support you can gain. I believe it’s based in Universal Love. And I wouldn’t want to hold back from trusting in that.

Thanks for reading friend, if you’re interested in learning more about Mediumship stay tuned. I feel there’s more spirit wants me to write on it. And of course, if you like to book a reading with me you can follow this link to my calendar. https://calendly.com/borntobloom/mediumreading

Infinite Receiving

Receiving, heard this word a lot recently? Gifts from the divine, downloads and the tiny millions of thank yous’ that can fill your day? Are you paying attention? Or does this woo stuff and laws of attraction/secrets just make your head nod. This post I’m talking about the goodness of letting go of knowing where it comes from.

I wanted to go to Banff for the ExpansionLIVE business and personal development conference; and I was scheduled to deliver my first talk there. How truly exciting, and what an opportunity to share the stage with so many professional speakers. ** Side note on this: This could be referred to as #4 Marunatings,  Don’t put anything or anyone on a pedestal. OF COURSE I had this wonderful opportunity to showcase a little more of who I am. Events leading up to this though, like a week before would get me really thinking ‘Maybe I am not suppose to go’. Biggest reason for this thought, my flight ticket was yet to be booked.  I couldn’t afford the flight, and the arrangement of swapping the speaker’s fee for a flight ticket was made with the organizer of the event. With multiple circumstances, that exchange couldn’t be made and I was presented with the situation of needing to pay for my own plane fair, if still wanted to attend in person.

In person, was it really needed? I couldn’t bring myself to ask for any money, I already owed! These thoughts twirled in my mind, as my partner and I canoed Balsam Lake.  I was distracted with not knowing what to do, but pulled my focused in to the environment and storytellings of Zen.  After camping for the weekend, we made a stop at a favourite restaurant, Sichuan cuisine. Don’t know it- enjoy here. And I cried, first time all weekend. I surrendered and said okay, it’s disappointing as heck but I just won’t be there in person.  Virtual will satisfy.

Arriving later that night at a new friend’s house for a potluck drum  dancing good time, my faced gave my defeat away.  Conversation in the kitchen quickly turned into ‘there’s gotta be a away to get you there’ ‘what about a go fundme page?’ To someone opening their wallets and throwing out $40 on the kitchen counter. Followed by multiple people opening their purses, and giving twenty after twenty. I was brawling, covering my face  to desperately content the immense shock of happiness that was coming out in the ugly cry. This was my third time meeting these wonderful people. Here they were cheering me on with one of the biggest acts of kindness I have experienced. Thank you, what I’ve come to learn since then is let go on the form on which something arrives for you to receive it.

PS Zen’s aeroplane points covered my flight, and the surcharges came to $220.  In that kitchen during the impromptu go fund me $240 was raised.

Adventure Focused

We seek, we find and our blood thrives on the curious nature of discovering new places and experiences.  We are explorers! Who I am talking about? The people who call in risk taking action and might be afraid but to jump into spontaneous situations regardless of fear. The people who ask questions to gain bigger or deeper insight to a concept, it’s the curiosity that just pulls them in, and out. It’s the Star glazers, Whimsical Storytellers and Boundary Pushers. We challenge the people who contain the walls, and built in the traditional ways.  We believe the world and everything in it, is worthy of our attention.

Who shares these traits, characteristic and values with me? Does it make up and form  your way of life? I am fortunate to have found a partner in this lifetime to share earth and spirit adventures with, his name is Zen.  I would venture to say it’s a daily event that we  share something new with each other, and provoke an expansion of growth.  Perhaps it’s texting each other a quote from an audio book during the morning commute, or new song to dance or maybe it’s as big a planning a trip to Tibet. However it comes, the magic of exploring together is a special gift!A

Our body as a talking stick

You’ve probably heard of the native concept of a talking stick. A wooden handheld tool to  indicate whose talking, and when they talk you my friend are usually required to listen. For many, including myself for many years never realized a voice that talks within us. I like to introduce to you, your body.

I have travelled to good number of foreign countries and studies linguistics but failing to understand my body’s language was key to owning my health and my emotions. Let me explain.

Our bodies talk to us all the time.  I really do mean ALL the time. Sending us signals to protect us, enlighten us and ultimately put us in a thriving mode. When we ignore, or totally deny hearing these messages we are deny ourselves of vital information. A really easy example of this would be the message you body tells you when it’s full and has had enough food. You know that what that stop sign looks like, the question is whether or not we obey it. Maybe we stretch it, slow down but keep going, however we choose to response is up to us my point is the sign was given.
