EXPERIENCES AS A MEDIUM: "CHANNELING" THE DEPARTED
Kate McGovern
February 05, 2008
You may wonder what a medium is, what it means to be a medium or what is the difference between a medium and a psychic. Rather than offering stuffy discourse, I decided to share some of my experiences as a medium. I hope you enjoy them.
I´m in a church, playing music for a funeral. I´m pretty sure that I am the only one, however, who is listening in my head to the person who has recently died.
She died very young, only 22 at the time of her death. And the death was a suicide.
What the young woman is explaining to me is how much torment she was in. When she was about fourteen years of age she started feeling other people´s pain, so much so that she felt in constant grief. She lived a tormented, sad life.
Nothing her parents did for her—and they did a considerable amount because they loved their daughter—could console her or bring her out of the constant grief she felt for individuals and for the whole world. She saw only suffering.
I listened to her story, including her wanting to express to her parents how terribly sorry she was for the sadness and disappointment that she felt she had caused them.
What I also saw was that she had angels all around her who were there to console her and comfort her. The young woman was still so wrapped up in her grief that there was no opening for the angels—yet.
NOT ALL STORIES OF THE DEPARTED ARE SAD
In the same church , again while I was playing music for the service, a lovable, accomplished older gentleman had passed on. He told me the story of how happy he had been. He had traveled the world, written books and loved his wife and children so very much.
I asked him if he had any advice for me. Travel, he said, and experience other peoples and other lands. Don´t close yourself in.
WHAT I LEARNED AS A MEDIUM - A GO-BETWEEN, A COMMUNICATOR FOR THE DECEASED TO THOSE THEY'VE LEFT BEHIND
I know with all surety within me that our spirit continues on. People pass on only to be liberated from the material bonds placed on us from our bodies and this beautiful third dimensional experience.
Here are some of the things I have learned from visiting with so many souls on the "the other side": They go through different stages. At first, depending on how ready they were to die, how much they had integrated their life experience here, and the wisdom and light they had gained for their soul—they go into another world where their experience continues on much the same level as it was in their earthly life.
They do go through a period of assessing the value of this life and whether or not they had accomplished and learned what they set out to do before birth.
For some, their experience on the other side is glorious, joyful, light and still full of mission and purpose.
For others, they can remain lost, feeling burdened, not letting joy in.
Some people just want to rest.
Other folks want to minister to their relatives who are still embodied.
Still others seem to be connected to other dimensions and spirits from places other than earth.
Recently, a woman who had been married for sixty-five years wanted to visit with her husband who had passed on about a year before. He actually started the visit a bit early—he was "in my head" about ten minutes before the appointed time to meet with his wife in a phone session.
What struck me about this particular incident was that each of them had the same type of emotions to relate to the other: That they wanted to have given more to their mate, they missed each other terribly, they wanted the other to be happy and fulfilled, and especially to hold no guilt so they would be free to move on.
With all of that exchanged amid tears and laughter, the husband who had been waiting to move on, did just that. All three of us on the phone experienced it with him—there was a feeling of lightness, harmony, release and joy. It was a profound moment and one that I felt privileged to have participated in. The wife and her daughter, who was also on the call, expressed that they saw him in their picture of him very differently—more peaceful.
I could tell you story after story of the wisdom that is gained by the soul after it passes on. That is what we call 20/20 hindsight!
So while we still can, let´s make every moment as aware and special as it can be. Let´s have a grateful heart for life before it´s too late. Let´s leave here with no regrets—especially no unexpressed love. Let´s choose to open, to acknowledge others, to savor every bit of our particular circumstance. Soon enough it will seem that it all happened in the blink of an eye.
