Another Step on the Spiritual Path
I apologize for the lack of entries lately. I've been confused and contemplative, and not really on "output" mode.
I went to see a psychic for the first time on Thursday.
I understand that there are many people who dismiss the notion of psychic abilities; just one year ago I was one of them. However, over the past year my views gradually shifted after reading about seemingly credible experiences or descriptions of psychic phenomena. I was really curious, and figured this would be a good time to give a psychic a chance, and see what would come of it.
Since she is also a medium, she is able to contact people who have died, and also our spirit guides.
We sat down, and she said that my father was coming through. Then, right away she said, "Who is David?"
I raised my eyebrows and said, "That's my brother."
She said that my father was acknowledging him, and saying that David had a pain in his right leg, perhaps a pulled thigh muscle. I have not spoken to David since the reading, so I have not yet verified that.
I am not going to attempt to convince any skeptics of my experience. But the mention of my brother was the first of a few instances that she showed her abilities as a psychic medium.
I felt it to be a valid experience with a medium that allowed me to communicate with my father and my spirit guides. The next day I was feeling pretty good, and I realized it was not only the details of the experience that mattered to me... it was having somebody acknowledge me as a spiritual being... which has not happened in a long, long time. I felt more spiritual worth, more connected to my spiritual self.
By Saturday some of these feelings had worn off, and I experienced a sort of spiritual hangover. I felt my disconnect from spirit more acutely, as I now knew what was missing.
The whole experience has left me with a longing to be more connected to my higher, spiritual self.
I am aware that this whole post may seem "out there" to many people. Yet this experience was meaningful for me, and I wanted to write about it.

Don't worry about what the skeptics may think, as nothing can invalidate the way this experience has made you feel, Mike. I go and see a psychic (different one every time) about once a year, with mixed results. Sometimes the person I see is extremely accurate and other times they're way off the mark. I'm glad you found someone you clicked with and who helped you to work out some of your thoughts on spirituality. The spirit is a much neglected aspect of modern life, so I'm sure your intention to reconnect can only be positive. Take care, Mike :-)
just stopping by to say hello. hope that you are having a good day
Hi Mike,
I enjoyed your post, and to me it did not seem "way out there".
Although I have never been to a psychic, it is something I would like to do.
It occured to me that you may be interested in INDIGO CHILDREN if you aren't already aware. I did my research on them for my Masters Degree in Holistic Thinking. I bet you would enjoy Googling them.
Nice to have you post again!

PS I am very curious to hear if your brother has leg pain!
Amy,
I appreciate your comment. You’re right, it was a valid experience for me, and that’s what matters.
As you said, the spirit is much neglected in modern western culture… and I feel the need to heal my spiritual self…
Hi, Mosaicmind, hope you are doing well.
Lena,
I’m glad you enjoyed it and didn’t think I was going off the deep end :) Actually, I probably didn’t need to be so defensive in my entry… I’ve had so much exposure to the scientific/rational/materialistic viewpoint that I think I was almost reacting to my own thoughts.
I had not heard of indigo children, so I did google it, and found it interesting. Thanks for sharing. Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to see auras.
Hey Mike, how are you? You haven't been around lately. Hope all is well.
Hello Mike,
Just checking in and hoping all is going well for you!

Kelly and Lena,
Thanks for checking up on me. I’m doing OK... I alternate between feeling discouraged and hopeful. I hope to get back to posting entries and commenting on blogs more regularly. I’ll be by soon to say hello!
