I am so happy you're here and look forward to having you follow along. Now let's get started. Hello and welcome to episode three of Medium by Design Podcast. This one is called Spider Webs. This was an experience that just bought me over the head big time back in I guess it was 1999, I think. I was shown that we are all connected through energy, but not as individual beings so much, but as a whole. And I'll explain that in just a bit. But it was pretty cool. But first, a few things before we start. For those who've had sessions with my somewhat toothless self, thank you for not gasping or fainting or falling over dead at my appearance. I went to the dentist last Tuesday, and I at that point had two more weeks of healing still. So that would be next Tuesday. I go again, or this coming Tuesday, and I hope I'll have a retainer or be able to get one. It's just taking forever to heal this one spot. So I still talk a little funny. On another note, I thought that as a big thank you for those who listened to my podcast and do listen to my podcast, I am going to extend the sale that I'm having right now to you as well. I am having a Christmas in July sale and it goes until July 31st. I am offering 50% off of all sessions. Now, this means that you can book and pay for your session by July 31st, but you can book for any time after that. So you can book for August or September, October, etc. But yeah, I'm offering that to you as well. And all you need to do is you would just go on my website as normal, click the services and appointments tab, and then choose whatever session you want, look for it on the calendar, book your session, and when you are paying for it, in the discount code spot, I think it's called discount code, it's not the gift certificate spot, it's the discount code spot. But in that spot, you'll put in in-caps, one word, Christmas in July. Easy. Again, this is available through July 31st, so just a few more days. And you know, be sure to share it with people. It's a good opportunity. I do this maybe twice a year, sometimes three times a year, so it's not often. So yeah, please take advantage of it. Please share. And there you go. So here we are at episode three, spiderwebs. If you listened to my last episode, I talked about taking a class online that really helped me a lot. I think it was 1999. Again, I'm so bad at dates, but found a website called Spirit Space. But when I just looked up the same site now, or at least the same name, it's nothing like it was before. So I don't think they're the same. I'm not sure. But it was a pretty simplistic website, and it was geared to teach a course on mediumship, and students that were enrolled were able to join a practice chat to read for other students. At this point, I had been reading for about a year or so on the keen.com site, and I've been getting pretty solid validations, but this was just an extra thing to help me, and I really, really loved that I had the chat option to, you know, practice. The important thing here though, there was always a teacher or an admin controlling the chat and who always kept things in order. So sorry to say this, but there are some very ego-driven wannabe mediums out there who can cause more harm than good sometimes. And because of the admins, they didn't really have that chance to smother the other students who were just learning. So it was really crucial, and it's crucial that if you have an experience like that or you're in a chat like that, a meetup or anything like that, that you have someone who's there, a good admin who is, you know, just watching and seeing and making sure everything is copacetic. So, as I mentioned in my last episode, I was really into researching different mediums websites, watched how they worked, their styles, different techniques they used, and all that good stuff. So here's a story, and this is after visiting one particular medium's website. I still have no idea why. This medium's website kind of threw me into this weirdness, but it did for sure. So I was home with my very young son and my dog Blue. My daughter was in school that day, and my husband was working at a local cable company just a few miles away. And I was at my old Mac. I was researching mediums, and I came upon a medium named Robert Brown from England. I pulled up his website to read about him, and my infant son was sitting on the floor playing, and my dog blue was right next, right next to him. I was in my living room and my little desk was in a nook in the corner. I pulled up Robert's website, and after about a minute or two, I started getting really woozy. I felt something is familiar here, but I had never visited this website before. For whatever reason, it threw me into a full-blown deja vu for what felt like at least 20 minutes or even more. I'm sure, and it probably wasn't that long, but it really did seem like it was forever. Now, normally when you have a deja vu, it lasts for about like two seconds. It's just a quick flash that you've been here before or seen this before, done this before, or whatever. I couldn't shake this one, and it almost felt like I was kind of stuck in this deja vu. I got even more dizzy and woozy, and I decided to drop down to my knees on the floor and put my head just down on the floor too to ground myself. I thought, oh my god, what is happening to me? I realized, you know, my little boy was right there, and I just kept thinking, what is wrong? I felt so dizzy and so woozy, and everything was like a deja vu. It just felt like all of this had already happened before, this whole scene, but for you know, longer than the normal two seconds that you usually get a deja vu. And then I remembered that my husband was on aim. That was the AOL instant messenger for you, for those back, back, back in the day. And he was there on my computer on my desk, just to the right of me. So I was still woozy and I kept kind of staying low, and I kept deep breathing and staying low and deep breathing, and I was like, I need to get up, get up, get up, get up, get up to the computer. Then it happened. I managed to pull my head up and check on everything, check my son, check just my surroundings, but every single thing was exactly the same, but it was so different. I can't even explain it really. I'm gonna try here, but you would think it'd be terrifying. But I kind of became really calm. My son was fine, but he was what I'll call kind of an an energy point or spot. My dog was fine, but she was also like an energy spot or point. I don't know what I would call it. And I was like, when I think about it now, if I was looking down, and I'll explain it this way, if I was looking down at like an ocean, there let's just say you had like ten or eleven buoys at different points in the ocean, and every buoy is like an energy spot or an energy point. I was an energy point, the table was, the computer was, my son was, the dog was, the couch was, the pillow was. There was no difference in a table or a dog or a person or a rug. Then I noticed this beautiful thin stream of light connecting all of these little energy points or buoys together. Think of it as like a laser point or a security system or something you'd see on, like, you know, Mission Impossible movie or something. But each stream was connecting to an energy point or that buoy. It was it was beautiful and it was really sparkly. And then I kind of thought about it as being like a spider web, but at each intersection was a hub of energy, again, whether that be a person, dog, chair, or table. Everything was connected by the stream of energy. Now I hear you. Why would inanimate objects have energy? I have no idea, but they were in this experience, so I mean I have to go with it. If you have any thoughts about that, I'd love to hear 'em, because I really don't understand why a chair would have energy, but it did. It was just this spider web of points, all connected by energy, and it was beautiful. I didn't move. My body had a shimmery line to my son, to the couch, to the dog, to the chair, to everything. It was also like two sides of a coin. My son was still my son, but at the same time, was an energy ball connected to my energy ball. The same for my dog. Blue was still my dog, but was a point of energy connected to me. The computer was one of those points also, and it was to the upper right of me since I was on the ground trying to get myself together. What the heck is going on? I was scared, and I knew instinctively that the computer was a point of energy also, but I also knew my husband was there. So I managed to climb up and sit for a second after being so dizzy. And on aim, I typed to him, quote, I think I'm dying, please call me, end quote. And please don't ask me why I didn't just call him. I have no idea. I'm just gonna blame it on the spirit experience because I don't know. But he did call me. I heard his voice, and things started to pull back together for me. I guess back into this physical and material place that I was used to. I think I needed to hear his voice at a time and it grounded me. So that was cool. I could I could relax, I took a deep breath, everyone was fine, things were fine, and it probably lasted like a whole 10 seconds, but to me it felt like a 20-minute deja vu. It was overwhelming. Very, very, very cool, but overwhelming. And I mean I have kids in a family to take care of over here, you know, so it's a little unnerving, or was a little unnerving at the time. So I kind of said, you know, back back to, hey universe, if you want me to be a medium, then help me do it. But please don't do that kind of stuff anymore. Thanks. But that said, I think I needed to experience that. I needed to see what energy connections are and how they work so I can do my work better as a medium. And I've heard it before, but we really are all connected by energy. Our friends and family, our fur babies, our past loved ones, our ancestors, the trees, plants. It's a huge spider web. And it was kind of cool to actually see that. So about a week later, I was at home with my son and I was sitting on our couch watching him just playing on the ground, and it started to happen again. And very respectfully, I said, Nope, can't do this right now. I need to take care of my son, I need to be present, I got it the first time, and thank you very much. And it didn't happen again. It stopped. I think they showed me, and that's all they needed to show me. But about a year or so ago, I had a very similar experience, and that will be for another episode, but it was it was the same but different. So it was kind of crazy. I remember telling my spirit space teachers what had happened at the time, and they both seemed a little surprised. They said that it was very rare but good to have such an experience, and to tell my guides thank you for the peak of what energy really is and how we're all connected, but that's it for a while. I can't be all floaty and not grounded while I'm trying to raise a family. Oh, and before I forget, this while I was trying to learn and research, it really confused me. And as I mentioned, I was reading about different mediums, I was reading reading books about different mediums, I was reading about their techniques, I was reading about what worked for them, and I thought I had to do the same exact thing they did to be able to connect to spirit as well as they did. And that's not true. You do you with this. I I like from some of the things I've I learned from the books. A lot of mediums would say I never drink caffeine before a session, I never eat before a session, I always open myself up like this before a session, I always close myself up like this before a session or after a session, I do this or that to help in a session. This will confuse you, and it really did for me. Again, you are unique in your own abilities and how you connect. Just because you read a book by a famous medium and they practice their mediumship this way or that way, does not mean that you have to. Just do you. What works best for you? You will learn that over time. I know some mediums who meditate and open up way prior to a reading, and then others who are just doing the dishes and just sit down and start immediately with no opening or no preparation. For me, and this is just me, I like to give myself a good 20 minutes to calm down, prepare my space, set my intentions, you know, any kind of spiritual work I need to do, but you don't have to do that. It just works for me. And I find that I have a better connection that way. So I wanted to add that little tidbit because as a budding medium, you want to do things in the correct way, but there really isn't a correct way. You don't have to do the same thing as other mediums do, and you don't have to have the same experience I had with the spirewebs to connect to spirit. Just trust the universe, trust source, trust your guides, do things for the highest of all good, and you will be just fine. So that's it for today's episode. I know that was a little short. I just wanted to get that experience out there just to let you know what I was talking about. Maybe you've had something like that happen to you, maybe not, but I just thought it was cool. It was it was a little sneak peek, and and then I told them I don't want to go through that again because it was cool, but it really was a little overwhelming. Anyway, next week I think I'm going to talk about something besides me. So I'll try to figure that out. I don't know, maybe something to do with jewelry or crystals or something, but I think I'm going to give it a break for you know in talking about me for another episode or two. But that note, we need to get to our reading for the week. What does our soul need to know about this week? Or what do we need to know in the next week? I know it's probably a week or two because I'm trying to do this weekly, but I'll get there. So, what does our soul need to know for the next week? Oh, the temperance card comes up. She is all about harmony and balance. She is pouring pouring liquid from one cup to the other, meaning balance. She's got one foot in the water, one foot on land. She has a glow around her head. This is patience and harmony and balance and moderation. So don't overdo things this week. Think about balance between your higher self and lower self. Lower self meaning paying your bills, feeding your family, doing your job, higher self meaning some meditation, tuning in, anything that brings you joy and just keeping things in moderation. Harmony, moderation, temperance. So I hope that helps a little bit because we always need a little bit of balance in our life anyway. But just wanted to thank you so much for tuning in.
