Meditation and Me

I’m a psychic medium, for lack of a better way of saying it presently. I'm also a spiritual teacher. The majority of my work, however, doesn’t look anything like what you might think an ordinary psychic medium would do. While I meet regularly with clients and give readings, almost every day is spent utilizing my abilities to advance spiritual work as part of my dedicated spiritual practice. What spiritual work might you be asking yourselves?

My typical day involves meditation, study, research, and writing. Meditation, to me, means alignment: that is, the alignment of every thought, feeling, and action into unity. I typically study the topics that come up for me during meditation. Often, these topics are related to the siddhis or psychic abilities, but not always. My research carries me to fields of investigation ranging from ordinary housekeeping for a greener planet to quantum field theory. I conduct research using my laptop, the internet, and—intuition. My spiritual teachers or spirit guides guide me inwardly, but I’ll discuss that later.

My library is extensive – loads of metaphysical books on hand, including many of Dr. Chopra’s books: How to Know God, Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire, and more recently, You Are the Universe, written with co-author Dr. Mena Kafatos. Of course, one can never have enough books on hand.

Writing is how I keep track of my work, but it also includes any insights and intuitions; my writing is a collection of evidence for the subjective realities experienced daily. To me, advancing the work is simply working through the subjective realities line by line into a cohesive body of evidence for our subjective or psychic nature – a truer, more inclusive reality.

My story is simple. It entails my spiritual unfoldment. I also call it my love story. We all have the same story once the facts are boiled down. What’s interesting to me is how one unfolds spiritually. Not all of us share the same religious beliefs, come from the same cultures, or even speak the same languages. Yet, something underlying all of manifestation unifies us as a humanity. It’s that something that unifies us as a humanity that I’m interested in. I dedicate my life to understanding what underlies what we commonly think of as reality.

Questions such as, “Who am I?” “What is my purpose?” is what I like to ask. The most significant part of my work is knowing how to conduct an inquiry. What one asks is what one receives. In my experience, the process of spiritual unfoldment is scientific. And, since what is asked is what is received, I’ve also discovered it is essential to be in alignment or meditation to do this work. Otherwise, if we’re not in alignment, the answers that come may seem confusing. Clarification comes from our timeless, boundless, limitless self found in meditation.

The work began for me in my mid-20s. I’d already spent about five years in a meditation/study group run by William Meader before this, studying the works of Alice Bailey and the Theosophical Society. I met my husband, Willis, in this meditation group. He appeared one day and reminded me of a Greek God, so I eventually married him. Willis introduced me to a spiritual teacher who started me on my non-linear path of one-pointed meditation. Others have called the process spiritual reading, mental yoga, or the Yoga of Synthesis--something I later learned to recognize as a form of device less dowsing. Developing the siddhis or supernormal abilities (As Dean Radin would call them in his book, Supernormal) is a natural part of the unfoldment process in meditation.

Every symbol has many levels of meaning; some would say seven levels. Life is one massive symbol of reality. Every subtle nuance of life is also a symbol of the same reality. I like to get to the deeper meaning of things, where life happens to make more sense to me.
