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
- 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. - 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.
- 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.
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!
- 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!
