The Bridge

Sandiee — Thu, 26 Jan 2012 14:14:25 +0000

Almost immediately after my NDE, I began communicating with the otherside. What I found is that they continue to know us. They watch us grow, see our ups and downs, and encourage us to pursue our dreams. Love is the bridge that maintains the connection between souls. Although most people can’t see them, they do sense their presence. After the death of a loved one, you may find yourself thinking about them and then see something…a reminder of them in the environment. It’s no coincidence. It’s them connecting with you. Let’s face it, life can be challenging and scary. They are no longer suffering and want us to know that we can enjoy the rest of our lives. Missing them is normal and we should allow ourselves to grieve their physical presence, but know that their dimension is only a heart string away.

When the heart appeared in the photo below, I had asked for my grandmother to show me a sign of her love the night before.. I woke up about 4am and when I came downstairs after a sleepless night, I was greeted with a heart made out of tissues, which was placed so lovingly on the love seat.

The Healing Power of Light

Light is a living spirit, which comes from the sun and establishes a direct relationship with our own spirit. — Omraam Mikheal Aivanhov

Since the beginning there was light and light has been known since ancient times as a healer. Nothing can exist without it. Scientists such as Isaac Newton have investigated the dynamics of light because it affects what we see and how we feel.

The sun is our primary light source during the day and is necessary for the growth of plants, animals, and it is essential for our overall health and well-being. Just as we can suffer from malnutrition from not eating and drinking the right foods, we can also suffer without the proper amount of sun. Sunlight is the unspoken medicine that is a required component to a well-balanced lifestyle. It provides us with Vitamin D, which is essential for healthy bones and joints.

According to the national institute of arthritis at NIH, the body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Without enough vitamin D, one can’t form enough of the hormone calcitriol (known as the “active vitamin D”). This in turn leads to insufficient calcium absorption from the diet. In this situation, the body must take calcium from its stores in the skeleton, which weakens existing bone and prevents the formation of strong, new bone. You can get vitamin D in three ways: through the skin, from the diet, and from supplements.

They further suggest that the body forms Vitamin D naturally after exposure to sunlight and that fifteen minutes in the sun a few times a week without sunscreen is plenty for many people to manufacture and store all of the vitamin D they need. Experts recommend a daily intake of between 400 and 600 IU (International Units) of vitamin D, which also can be obtained from supplements or vitamin D-rich foods such as egg yolks, saltwater fish, liver, and fortified milk. The Institute of Medicine recommends no more than 2,000 IU per day. However, sometimes doctors prescribe higher doses for people who are deficient in vitamin D.

In addition to helping the bones and joints of individuals, sunlight has been known to boost immune systems, as well as, combat depression.

Seasonal affective disorder SAD or the winter blues can cause symptoms such as low sex drive and depression. Sunlight affects the hormone melatonin levels, which in turn may cause fluctuations in serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is the feel good hormone that we all crave. So when the weather warms up, take advantage of those healing rays.

Tips for taking advantage of sunny days:

Walk outdoors
Eat lunch outside
Take your break outside
Stretch outside on the deck
Meditate outside
Sit outdoors with your pets
Read a book outside

Always consult a doctor regarding supplementation and recommended SPF levels.

Discover You

Sandiee — Wed, 02 Feb 2011 18:42:22 +0000

Winter months are a great time to reflect and escape into self discovery. Many of us these days are realizing that there is more to life than meets the eye. You may find yourself questioning the purpose of your life, debating on the existence of an afterlife, and wondering of you can make a difference in this world we currently call home.

You do have a purpose, there is an afterlife, and you can make a difference before you complete your journey here. The important thing is to recognize you are not in competition with anyone and that you are here to learn and grow spiritually in your own way. This famous quote rings true; we are spiritual beings on a human journey.

People at any given time are at different stages of evolution. This is why we must periodically shed what no longer serves us. As we grow, some of our friends stay the same. This may require you to kindly go your own way. Usually this occurs when you no longer need approval from society. Believe me, not having to worry about what others think of you is true spiritual freedom.

So take time this winter to visualize the things that would bring you true happiness. The 14th Dalai Lama believes that the purpose of life is the attainment of happiness. Visualize who your with, where you live, what types of foods you are eating, and anything else that would be a part of your happy life. Write down these visuals in a journal. You will start to see recurring themes. Include dreams in your writings. Often times dreams will piece themselves into a picture of your purpose. Don’t be concerned at the speed of your evolution, but rather enjoy the discovery process. It is also not necessary to tell everyone you know about your self discovery. It’s between you and your soul.

As you continue to explore the soul, you will experience more joy in everyday life. Again, it’s the attainment of happiness that we’re after. So make time for yourself. Read books because they are offerings from other souls, take a nap, have a cup of tea, go out with some new friends, travel, and listen to your heart. But don’t just follow it, lead it.

Being You

Sandiee — Sun, 21 Nov 2010 16:24:26 +0000

You cannot lead from the crowd. ~Margaret Thatcher

Being you is being true to your passions, not what others expect of you. You are living this life for no one but you, even if you have an immediate family of 12. Part of who you are can lend itself to making the lives of others a bit easier, but no matter what, you do what you do to advance your goal. The goal for every human soul is to do what you love and give gratitude along the way. Sometimes the discovery of what you love to do takes time to figure out, which then leads is into the dangerous territory of complacency. Life is about stepping out of the comfort zone and shaking it up. I myself have gotten to where I want to dig my heels in and refuse to open the door toward progress. Why do we do this you might ask? Because the brain perceives change as a threat to our existence. Change doesn’t feel safe. We want to be assured of success before we even give change a chance. Forget about the what ifs and the fear of what others think. Life is too short to grab hold of someone’s dream other than your own. Also know that you owe no one an explanation for who you are. There will always be someone to judge, criticize, and disagree with you. I say so what. While they are busy judging you, you are headed toward progress. The kind of progress that makes your heart skip a beat and your soul flutter in your heart. Go for it now and remove all self imposed limitations and be authentic.

Hereafter

Sandiee & Sophie

Last night I went to see the movie by Clint Eastwood, called Hereafter. I admit I can identify with some of what Matt’s character George talked about in the movie. Life for me is different. Sometimes I’ll be talking to someone, while at the same time their deceased loved ones start passing me messages that they want me to share. It’s like having one foot in this world and the other foot in the next dimension. Like George, I began relaying messages after a traumatic near death experience. For me it’s just a new normal. I enjoy life as much as anyone else, but navigate through it a little differently. It has been more of an adjustment watching people’s reactions to my new life, then relaying the messages themselves. Though my faithful clients really value what I do, there have been a few who shudder at the word psychic. At first I was so worried about other’s opinions of me, that I was afraid to share messages or discuss my rediscovered gift. I now view it this way, if I wasn’t supposed to share this gift with anyone, then I wouldn’t have it.

George viewed the gift as a curse, where as I view it as a gift from God, for that’s where all spiritual gifts resonate from. The movie also exposed fakes and ‘psychics’ using some outrageous techniques. I was appalled. I am a pretty ‘normal’ person and see no need in bizarre antics. At a typical reading, it is not uncommon for me to show up in jeans and a Victoria Secret Hoodie. I’m not into psychic theatrics and neither are my clients. They just want the connections and that’s what I give them. The common thread between all of the messages I have conveyed thus far is love. Even abusers that have come through during readings, want to be forgiven and offer apologies for the past. It amazes me that it seems that baggage can carry over into the next dimension. George also saw actual glimpses of the souls he was communicating with. This is how I see them. After connecting to the energy of my clients, I see their deceased relatives and friends in 3D color. I then must interpret what they are showing me. These days I no longer worry about whether I have made the right decision by coming out into the public eye, for I am just doing my job like everyone else.

New Thinking Invites Healing

Sandiee — Mon, 11 Oct 2010 14:52:06 +0000

Every person out there at some point needs to come to the end of their own understanding and then go beyond that. There are so many close minded thinkers who are stagnant in their views. I was talking to someone this weekend who refused to acknowledge all of the different methods of healing. I agree that traditional medicine has it’s place, but I also want to add that there are holistic measures that we all can take to heal the ‘whole’ person. This person has also completely given in to the notion that she has to live life in pain and suffer the rest of her life. I want to challenge that ‘old’ way of thinking. A great way to change the pain in your body is to change your mindset. Whatever you tend to think is reflected in the body. So instead of thinking about your pain, ‘think’ about something that makes you happy and calm. A renewing of the mind is not a new concept, but one from biblical teachings. It works for all people, regardless of your beliefs. Taking steps to change your ‘old’ thinking habits can and will be the beginning of totally transforming your life. In addition to choosing to refocus the mind, also remember to stay away from negative influences, including images, TV, and music etc.. Stay positive by surrounding yourself with positive things and people. At one point I had to make a commitment to stay away from people who complained constantly. I never stopped caring about them, but at the same time, their negative mindsets were having an influence on me. You have to make the ultimate decision to feel better and make the necessary changes that will breathe the life back into you mind and spirit. You are after all, the author of your journey.

Messages from beyond are more common than you think. Today I just can’t imagine not knowing what it would be like without them. Let’s face it, life can be hard and any bit of encouragement is very much appreciated. When our loved ones die, they always will provide some kind of clue that they have arrived and are okay. When my grandmother died recently, I begged her to show me some kind of sign. Though I communicate messages for my clients, I have to admit, it is hard when someone from my own family dies. I, like my clients, want confirmation that all is well. They will come through. It will be when you least expect it. When I was driving to the nursing home to clean out my grandmother’s things, I called my father and told him that I needed the “red sweater”. When in Florida, I used to borrow her red sweater. He said okay, if you can find it, it’s yours. When I got there my dad and I went straight to the closet. I parted the clothes and as if on cue, the red sweater was right in the middle! It was as if she put it there for me :0) I know she is around me. The other side is only a heart beat away. So remember, ask and they will give you a sign. Believe.

Believe In Your Path

Sandiee — Sun, 26 Sep 2010 18:58:54 +0000

If you can imagine it, you can have it. Visualization is a part of the process of realizing your dreams. We are all born with imagination. As children our imagination soars to limitless heights, but then as adults, we are taught to be ‘realistic’. I had a client recently, who wanted more for herself, like many others in this difficult economy. Before she can make it happen, I told her about ‘letting go’ of what no longer serves her and imagining her new life. Let go of the fear of failure. Let go of the need to run your adult daughter’s life. Let go of loss. Let go of the fear of lack. In order to move forward, we must drop the past. Take a river stone and write down all of your fears surrounding change, then toss it into the river. If you surrender your fear of change, then you are free to embrace all the possibilities of a new life. Once you free yourself, believe. Value what your soul wants. It’s amazing but our loved ones who have already crossed over, really are concerned about our well-being and want us to fulfill our purpose in life. My client had some souls come through to encourage her and to let her know that she was valued. Her negative thoughts and patterns were all an illusion. We all must learn to shatter the negative illusions we create and inspire the creative spirits to develop into the truly gifted souls awaiting to be revealed. Celebrate your soul. Believe in yourself, so that soon you will inspire others to greatness as well.

A Message From An Ex

Sandiee — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 16:28:49 +0000

Many of us have ex’s… ex-girlfriends, ex-boyfriends, ex-husbands, and so forth, but did you know that the love continues beyond the grave! Though you may have deemed them gone or forgotten, that little spark that drew you to them in the first place, remains behind as a little love note from heaven. I did an intuitive guidance session for a client last night and to her surprise her ex-husband came through! I picked up his energy about 5 minutes into the session. He was showing himself to be between 40 and 50 years old at death. She confirmed this and said he had a near death experience at the age of 40 and then died at the age of 50. Wow, that was a great validation! I also stated that he has a brotherly feel to him and she also stated that he was more like a brother to her, throughout and after their marriage. For the remainder of the reading, he had messages for her concerning her health, which she said was all true. I could tell that he was indeed genuinely still attached to her and wanted her to be well for the remainder of her journey.

Well, this goes to show you that when you think it’s over, it might not be!

SUCCESS

To laugh often and much:
To win the respect of intelligent people
and the affection of children:
To earn the appreciation of honest critics
and endure the betrayal of false friends:
To appreciate beauty,
to find the best in others
and to leave this world a bit better,
Whether by a healthy child, a garden patch,
or a redeemed social condition:
To know even one life has breathed easier
because you have lived.
This is to have succeeded.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
