Through my spiritual awakening, I have come to believe two concepts:

1. We each have a soul (“higher self”) which is the spiritual core of our emotions, thoughts, and beliefs, and this core drives our intuition and characterizes who we are.

2. Our soul existed before this lifetime and will continue to exist beyond it.

What is my relationship with my soul?

The best explanation I have encountered is the orange analogy by medium Mary-Anne Kennedy. Consider your soul as being a whole orange. The individual orange slices represent your soul’s many incarnations or lifetimes - who you are today is one orange slice. Your soul (the whole orange) is composed of other lifetimes (the other orange slices), and the combined life experiences feed your soul’s continued growth and evolution. Your soul also exists concurrently with this lifetime, overseeing and guiding you through your beliefs and intuition.

What is channeling and mediumship, and how are they different?

• Channeling is for connecting to the whole orange soul level. This is the highest level of connection - the 10th floor of a 10 story building. This often involves a gathering of your higher self, spirit guides, soul family, ancestral loved ones, along with my own spiritual entourage, all working together to deliver information intended for you. During this process, I connect with these spiritual beings and serve as their speaker and translator. As I lend the beings my voice, I am consciously listening along as a third party.

  With channeling, the messages are not necessarily meant to be predictive but are rather intended as guidance to empower you with what is true and important. Your loved ones from the soul realm bring messages of validation, healing, and advice on how to navigate your life. Regardless of what you want or hope to hear, the beings tell you what you need to hear.

• Mediumship is for connecting to spirits related to this orange slice lifetime level. I visualize this as a closer connection - the 5th floor of a 10 story building. This involves communicating with the spirits of those who have passed away and now exist in the afterlife. During this process, I am shown visuals to describe to you (like a game of charades) to help identify the spirit who is connecting, and then I relay their messages and give you space to ask questions. Please note that I cannot summon specific spirits - the intent is to invite those who wish to come through for their loved ones.

  With mediumship, connecting with deceased loved ones allows you to receive insight, advice, and closure that can help you heal on multiple levels. The connection is a powerful reminder of deep universal truths, such as the immortality of our souls, and that once a connection of love has been made, it knows no boundaries.
