Rainbows! A double Rainbow to be exact!

Something beautiful happened tonight! We were on our way home and it was storming pretty good. We pulled down the street to our house and there is a beautiful rainbow! But NO....it was not one rainbow....it was a double rainbow! It was beautiful. The really wild thing about it, we saw the whole thing! I was in the car with my husband and youngest son. It was amazing! I have never seen the whole rainbow.....both ends and the middle! of BOTH rainbows! It was beautiful! At that moment. I realize how beautiful nature is. I was grateful for what I had just seen! Then it got me thinking.....what does this mean? Is there a message in this? Of course, there always is!

      I am looking at my life and realizing I am in a place I could have only dreamed about a few years ago. I have two wonderful boys that always keep me guessing. They are getting older and are ready to begin doing their own things. My oldest is 18 and my youngest is 15. They are good kids and are really something I am proud to say I helped to create! The fact remains though, they are starting to need me less and less. I guess they are really just starting to need me in different ways. That's fine. I will bend and adjust. There is one transformation in my life right now.

  I am also going through my own transformation. I am starting to be more and more busy with my own work. I have worked for years taking care of everyone, in the "motherly" kind of way. That is changing. I am now becoming much more visible to the world as a psychic, medium and spiritual teacher. I am beginning this part of my life. I am now ready to be known. That is the change. I am still and will always be a student of spirit but I am ready to share what I have I learned thus far! I am ready to pass on the wonderful things I have been privy to learn! We are all privy to this information! It is not to be kept secret any longer! This is what seeing the double rainbow made me see today. My life is changing in all aspects. I am ready. I know I am not the only one going through these changes. We are all changing. All we have to do is accept it, with our whole being and integrate it.

    It's a beautiful night as I type this post. It has been storming but the rain has stopped, the clouds have parted and the stars are beautifully shining in the night sky. Add your star to the sky. There is plenty of room. I am pinning mine up there tonight! Come on this ride with me and we will have a helluva time! Accept yourself for who and what you are and know beyond all doubt that we are all one at our core. Open your heart to the new paradigm and accept things as they come. Be the love you want to see in the world. I know that's what I am doing!

Meditation...what is it good for??? Absolutely EVERYTHING!!!!

Meditate as defined by Merriam Webster dictionary: med·i·tate
ˈmedəˌtāt/
verb
  1. think deeply or focus one's mind for a period of time, in silence or with the aid of chanting, for religious or spiritual purposes or as a method of relaxation.
    • think deeply or carefully about (something).

    Now, that's what the dictionary says. Meditation is also the key to unlocking your spiritual gifts. It trains your brain to be calm, silent and still. That's the goal! Some people look at it as a time when they decompress from the day.

  2.  There are many ways to meditate. A lot of people use it as a time to get away, maybe you like to walk, or ride a bike. Maybe you zone out on the bus on the way home from work or school. Those are all a form of meditation...you are in the zone that,'no mans land'...lots of people call it day dreaming.

  3.  That time when your brain is...well, not busy spinning over and over what just went on during the last 5 hours! That's the "happy place." That's the place we all strive to reach....but it's one of those things that when you sit down with the intent to do "it" you may not be able to quite get there! Why? The thoughts creep in. All of our "daily stuff" decides to pop up and remind you, right then, that it is still not done! It is down right maddening! Other times......you may be doing great and then 'BAM-O' you're snoring, and rather loudly in fact! Don't worry about it! It's all trial and error.

  4.  You will try certain things and some will work and some will not. No harm done! If you have thoughts floating in, tell them..."not now, I will take care of you later!" and then see the thought bubble they are in, POP! Then go back and focus on your breath. That conscious effort of stopping yourself from attaching to the thought, that right there, well that's...AMAZING! Way to go! Just keep doing it! You can recite a mantra of a single word or a phrase, either aloud or silently. You can also chant, you can visualize a scene, that is my personal favorite. It keeps my mind busy with mundane details and then just lets the meditation happen naturally. You may enjoy music while meditating, or you may like silence. It's totally a personal thing. Do what feels right, and by all means....make whatever you do your OWN! Put your own personal stamp on it! Know that whatever happens is what was supposed to happen and go with it!  TRUST is the important thing. You may have the feeling you are making it up, you are not. This is natural and how it's supposed to happen. You will greatly enhance your experience if you BELIEVE! Practice is another important part. It helps you to make this wonderful new tool part of your everyday arsenal of personal development! It's also the best way to reap the benefits...a few of which can include, but is not limited to, only what is mentioned here: better sleep, better digestion, less stress, lower blood pressure....the list goes on and on. There are no detractors from meditation...it is something that you do for you, because you are worth it!

  5.  I meditate whenever I can....usually for no more than 10 mins at a time! You know what?! 10 minutes is a great time limit for ME, right now at this present time!  Next month it may be different. If you go with the flow and do what feels natural, there's no worry of ever doing it wrong!!! You don't have to devote hours to meditation and sitting in lotus position! Do it however it is comfortable for you. You have to be comfortable to enjoy it. Another way for many to start out is via this route...I use this method with moms. Moms are busy and meditation is a great tool for them  just as it is for everyone. When you get that luxurious potty break, by yourself....meditate! It only takes a few minutes! Just focus on your breath, breathe in through the nose...good, calm, peaceful white light...hold for a few seconds, and then breathe out the old, stale, stagnant air through your mouth! That's it, that's really all there is to it! As you get this down and start to feel relaxed, things will begin to happen naturally. You may see, hear or feel things....it's all good! That's how it's supposed to happen! 

  6. Another note here, this is great to start with your little ones. It's something that can be enjoyable for them as well. They will learn much easier and quicker than most of us "older folk!" Then it becomes a "Mommy and Me' activity!

  7. I am an intuitive,medium and Reiki practitioner. I do offer a variety of services on my website. Thank you for checking it out!  http://mediumsandradawn.wix.com/avoiceforspirit

HMMMMMM...????

Starting this blog entry and wondering what exactly I am going to write about!

 I could write about the energy, which is a little crazy right now....seems it's always that way anymore! Do you think maybe that's because we are in our new normal? New normal??? What the hell is that?!! The only normal thing, the thing that never changes, is CHANGE! I think most of us fear CHANGE to some degree, but we know it's also necessary. So then why do we fight it?  I ask myself this all the time. "Sandy....you know this is in your best interest."(pointing my finger at myself!) "Yes, I am well aware it is in my best interest but I would rather prolong my frustration and cling to the old out dated belief structure of my life!" When I lay it out here, it looks really silly and I think why, oh why, do I do this to myself? Well, I do it for the same reason you all do it! We are afraid of the "C" word! NO!!! Not that one.....CHANGE! We are so caught up in our day to day we never stop to realize that we are sometimes just beating ourselves up needlessly! Here is my challenge to you.....Let go and roll with change like you have never done before! I mean after all, this thing we call our life....is really just a part we are playing. Why not have your part make you happy, it may be scary at first but I know you can do it. Sometimes all it takes is a change of vantage point. Just for a moment, really let go....run with what would happen if you chose the wild and crazy option instead of the safe, more docile one! How will you every really know what you can make of your life if you are afraid to act on it? In order to get what we want out of life we must become like what we want to attract! That means our vibration needs to match what we want to attract. Those are the paraphrased words of the late Dr. Wayne Dyer. No one wants to attract negative or not good stuff, so...we need to get happy, thankful and filled with love and gratitude! How do you do that you ask? Well, you find your happy place, which surprisingly is within your own heart. I know some of you may be thinking....she doesn't make any sense! I do, really.....in order for you to have true happiness you have to uncover it within yourself. The process to do that can be long, drawn out and tedious or you can say....."these things that no longer serve me, whatever they may be; e.g. beliefs, people, places, old emotions....I release them and am ready to receive things that match the vibration of what I'm asking!" It makes total sense.....This is your world, your chance to make that change....have your NIKE moment and just do it!

A Message from Spirit

"Things are changing rapidly. You mustn't fight these necessary changes. You are wanting to fight them because you are tired of feeling worn out. 

You must go with it. You have been upgraded with the most current light codes and they have worked on clearing the most stubborn, buried and out


dated beliefs you hold. Many of you are lighter. While there are others of you feeling heavier. It is because you are still not quite at the point where you can let go of everything, once and for all. You will be able to let it go, it will just take a bit longer. Do not for a moment let this bother you. It is all natural and part of the individual process of many. Everyone is in this new energy. These next few days leading up to the solar eclipse will be


powerful and full of realizations. You are going to finally be able to step confidently into your future. I know you are having a hard time believing this. It is ok. We can assure you things are happening as they should. 


Everything has been a leading up to this. Know that much of the information your leaders(in all walks of life) are presenting you with is not the whole picture. Even though they are in a position that lets them influence many, things are most definitely changing for the greater good. They(leaders) are going to have to become more transparent. Plans you have with other groups will 


stall and there will be no choice but to work together. On a personal level, you are experiencing many, many symptoms. they are the same as you have dealt with all along. The difference is the fatigue you are feeling. 


It is not something that just goes away after a nap or two. This is because your DNA is being ex-sponged to let go of once and for all, the things from this life and others that held you back....or your deepest fears. You have been able to accomplish more in this lifetime then you had plotted out for yourself. The road you chose was in your chart but it was the rough road, one of the most difficult. I know you may not believe that but it


is the truth of the matter."

STAYING TRUE TO YOU



Being your authentic self is so important. No one but you, can fill your shoes. You are here for a reason and that reason is unique to you. When you start to get that nagging feeling that you are not "good enough," ask yourself why? If the why has anything to do with other people......THROW IT OUT! Do not, for a second, compare who you are to anyone else. 

We are all important and have meaning. That meaning is for you, and you alone to figure out.  Everything you need is inside of you already. I know it sounds so clichèd but it's 100% true. All you have to do is get quiet and go within, through prayer or meditation. I am cheering us all on! We have come so far. Our only option now is to finish what we started! You can do it and I can too!

Moving On

 I am in a bit of an odd place. My Father-in-Law passed 

Monday, January 11, 2016. He had been sick with various issues for the last few years. His life had it's series of up and downs like every ones does. He was the oldest child of his 5 siblings...One sister and his parents passed before him. We had gotten kind of used to the hospital routine with him...he always rallied and recovered nicely while admitted to the hospital, only to go down hill when he was left to his own devices at home. He was a proud man, wouldn't accept help from his sons or anyone until he was in dire need and he had no other choice. We had gotten used to this...To say he was a tough old bird is an understatement. His last "big" hospital  admission his mother and sister, both who are passed, came to me. It was a little odd, I never knew either of them in life. His sister explained to me that this time around for her brother was very difficult. She asked that I help him to not be afraid of "death" and talk to him. His mom asked that I help him to be unafraid as well. I told them both, I will but, he doesn't like to talk about his death and frankly, we don't really talk that much in recent days. His sister said to me at that point that he would be coming "home" soon.  I told my husband and thought how weird the message was but then, we went about our days doing the same routine....visiting him in the hospital...he would then come home and then ended up being admitted again shortly after that...it was the routine we were used to and familiar with.

 He was on dialysis in the end stages of renal failure, among other problems...he became a shell of the man he used to be. He called me on New Years day to ask if I could drive him to the doctor's office to have shots in the spine for chronic, unrelenting back pain.  I thought, what the hell? He never called for help, and much less from me! To call either one of his sons wouldn't have surprised me as much, but me...his daughter-in-law? I had offered till I was blue in the face to help him with anything he needed, as we all did. He had never taken anyone up on the offer...but now the tides had changed and I was asked to help. OK, perfect I thought...maybe something will come up and we can talk about what his mom and sister had asked of me a few months back.  I showed up to take him to the doctor's office and we chatted the whole way there, about a 20 minute drive and then about 15 more minutes waiting in the doctor's office. I did notice, he was very reminiscent about everyone he had lost and his life in general. I listened mostly but talked when I got a chance. We had a good visit but much to my own upset, I didn't get to talk to him about not being afraid of death...our conversation just never went there. I decided that hopefully, just by being with me he had received some kind peace. I hoped that was the case. Otherwise, I had failed miserably at the one thing I was asked to do by spirit. My husband called to check on him that night  and he was doing pretty good. We went about our next 7 days without much worry or thought of anything changing within our world.

 He went to the doctor on Thursday, Jan. 7th. He had a episode of passing out and was taken by ambulance from the doctor's office to the ER.  We were not aware he was in the hospital until Sat the 9th. Why, you may ask? Well...he wasn't going to tell us, and often times would tell people he had talked to us when in fact he hadn't. I think this must have just been his memory going, not intentional. We heard, from my sister-in-law his reason for being hospitalized, which was the same as always. He was expected to rally and recover as he did every other time. There was even talk of him going home on Monday, Jan. 11th. So, Monday started for me as it usually does, getting up and making sure the boys were up and ready for school....I was at the kitchen sink getting ready to make a cup of coffee when I see him, my father in law , popping into my minds eye!!  I thought, why am I thinking of you this morning? Then my phone rang...it was my husband. His brother had called him at work and told him their Dad had coded 3 times that morning and they had brought him back but he wasn't expected to make it much longer. Everything started to click, why I had seen him that morning and also that it was very possible that what his mom and sister asked me to do had nothing to do with helping him to overcome his fear of death before his time came. It was about actually helping him to transition calmly and being unafraid by everything he was going to be encountering. 

 It did feel very surreal as it was all happening. He would be with me for a few minutes and then it was as if he faded out for a few minutes and then he would come back, this went on for about 30 minutes. He asked me in the very beginning of this exchange why and how was I talking to him? I explained to him, "this is what I do." He had no prior knowledge of what I do, so to say he was a bit surprised, would be totally, 100% accurate! He then gave me the "look"....that look of, "Oh, now I get it....now I understand you. It makes sense!" To say that I was happy with his response would be a very true statement.  I was trying to get to the hospital as fast as I could. I told him that he didn't have to fight anymore and he could go, all he had to do was let go, there was nothing to be afraid of. I told him, his mom, dad and sister were waiting for him and would help him to go the rest of the way"home".  He said to me at this point, "Get here!" I have to think he meant to the hospital so I was there with my husband. I told him I was going as fast as I could! He then says, "tell me if you can still see them when you get here." I feel like he was seeing them and was just kind of surprised and shocked. I think he actually was starting to see them as his fear was going away and I think they must have looked like very faint or wispy images of themselves. I think this was why he was still holding onto his silver cord. He also did want his boys to have their support systems by their sides, I'm sure of that. I just said, OK. Now was not the time to tell him I didn't have to be there to see them. I parked and raced up to the floor and there were so many people inside and outside his room....3 people I knew...my husband, brother- in-law and sister- in- law and various doctors and nurses. Also in the room, waiting patiently and quietly was spirit,many of them. His Mom, dad and sister to name but a few. As I walked toward my husband, I looked at my Father in law's body laying there in the bed. He was hooked up to a ventilator and there were IV's and lots of syringes and other remnants of item used in the attempts to bring him back to our plane of existence. As I looked at the shell of the man I had know for the last 20 years....it was very obvious, he wasn't in that rundown and broken shell anymore. I said to him at that point....."they are here, waiting. You can go." He then looked at me and smiled and walked towards his family and never looked back. It was such a beautiful experience and I am so thankful I was able to have it.

 Does it make my grief any less? I can't say,  we all grieve differently and that grief...is important. Initially, I had some conflict over whether or not I did the right thing. I mean this man had rallied and recovered every time. When they thought he wouldn't. My husband had told me that when he was fading in and out(so when he was "out" with them, he was "in" with me and when he was "in" with me he was "out" with them) at one point if they ( the medical team) could have gotten  a certain body system stable they were talking about getting him hooked up to the dialysis machine. This only added to my anxiety and fear over the fact that maybe, I had stepped in and done something I wasn't supposed to.  As soon as those thoughts began to invade, my intuition or higher self would kick in and remind me. You work for spirit. You did your job and although you are powerful, as is every one, you did not control his passing. You helped him, you made it smooth. You did exactly as you were asked to do. I know this is the truth. Nevertheless, I am still human and I grieve. It breaks my heart to see my kids cry for their grandfather, and even though they were not terribly close,it is still a hard loss for them. I grieve for my husband who no longer has a dad on this plane. Even though I feel a little confused and foggy, I am aware it is grief that I am feeling so deeply within my own heart.

 I am so very thankful for this last gift he and his family decided to give to me. The chance to help him pass with grace and be unafraid. I needed to get this out, so a blog post seemed appropriate. If there is a lesson or an experience to take away or remember from this I would say its to not take anything for granted. We don't know which day will be our last for our current incarnation. Express your love to one another and don't hold back. You are here and you are important to those who love you. Oh, and it is a really good idea to talk to your loved ones and let them know where the important papers are and also what you want done with your human shell when you are ready to make the transition home.  That makes the process of it all so much easier. Hope you find this post helpful. Angel kisses ;)
