Am I Doing the Right Things?
Q. It’s so odd, I feel everything from almost everyone else and can always help them out but when it comes to myself, I never know what I’m doing. When I sit down and write it’s like a free flow of positive ideas based on difficult circumstances just flow out of me and I’m not really sure where it comes from, yet I know the advice is right. I wish that I knew how to listen to myself and learn how to not always feel so worried when I feel shifts in others.
I’ve recently met someone new whom I’ve grown attached to and it’s so odd because one day he runs hot, the next day he runs cold. I worry that perhaps it’s not real, or perhaps it’s his own fear that pushes him into a back corner, or perhaps that I’ve ruined something by getting worried over little things. I just don’t know where I’m going and I don’t know if I’m doing the right things but when we talk and such, everything just feels perfect.
A. You are an empath, a spirit medium, a channel, and have the ability to automatic write. All of these natural gifts are waiting to be completely realized to their highest potential.
As is the case with most people who have metaphysical gifts, and are able to help others with those gifts, our own lives can often be described as chaotic at best. We tend to over analyze anything that comes to us about ourselves, as well as block information at times. And of course, there are some pieces of information we just don’t have access to about ourselves! How would we grow if we could see our own lives as clearly as we can for others?
Though empathic people can literally feel others’ emotions around us, that doesn’t exactly tell us why those people are feeling the way they are. We especially tend to over analyze where emotion is concerned in those we love, and we want to feel “safe” with our own emotions. One of the biggest points of over analyzing in these instances, is we tend to always think those emotions of our loved ones are geared toward us, when most of the time, they are not. We end up waiting for what seems like an eternity for them to just come out and tell us why they are feeling the way they are so we can stop analyzing the whole situation to death!
In answer to your relationship question, it is fear you are feeling from him, but is not necessarily a bad thing. The fear is there because he does feel the same connection with you. The important thing to note is, the fear has not driven him away. He is working through it. Be patient.
What Can I Do to Grow As An Empath?
Q. What, as an empath, can I do to grow?

A. Lovely question. Thank you so much for asking. Your question has sparked a future post for another blog as well.
I’m taking your question to mean, what can you personally do to grow as an empath, but have given some general information as well. God Bless.
For all who are empathic, growing as an empath requires a great deal of inward time. You must get comfortable with the constant flow of feelings, learn to detach from them, and have a great way to cope with the constant flow of emotions that continually run through your spirit.
Being an empath, is a beautiful gift. Those who have it are to use it in service of others. Empathic abilities are always a part of a total package of multiple gifts.
Often being an empath is coupled with writing talents, musical talents, or art talents, and coupled with life themes such as Rescue, Humanitarian, Experience, as well as other types that are in service to others. Empaths always have other creative talents in addition to usually more than one metaphysical gift. Their creative talents are a natural way to cope with their constant emotional states.
Empaths, such as yourself, who are here with great writing talents, are here to teach, guide, bring together, and help raise the vibration levels. You have the ability to reach a mass audience.
Those, who are spiritual, usually find their calling within the specturm of light work, teaching and guiding through their creative talents, and other gifts.
Not only do empaths constantly “feel” others and their emotions, they also have the ability to project (and this is often unrealized, even if they do realize they are “feeling” others).
It is important to surround yourself with positive vibrations and support, and always be conscious of your own vibration levels. Negative environments can feel like mortal chaos to empaths, and can throw us completely out of balance if we let them, as well as others around us. Try to avoid them.
Positive thoughts, positive environments, daily meditation, and a creative outlet, as well as asking for help from God, your guides and your angels, will all help you grow as an empath.
We have been given the ability to feel others’ emotions in order to understand, grow, and help others grow.
Pennies From Heaven
Q. I had a reading with a medium once during a very stressful time in my life. My father had been gone for about a year, and I so needed to know he was with me. The medium told me to pay attention, because he had been trying to communicate with me all along through the “lucky” pennies I had been finding every where. It was true I had been saying to others how lucky I had been lately, because I kept finding pennies everywhere always facing heads.
I started putting them in a jar labeled “pennies from heaven”, and after about two weeks I stopped finding them everywhere! Is he still here?
A. Yes! He is still with you! The stress in your life eased because you became aware of his being near. You acknowledged your awareness of his presence, so there was no need for him to continue to try to get your attention.
He also uses the smell of a cigar to let you know he is there!
Waking at 3 a.m.
Q. You mention in one of your blogs that waking often between 3 and 4 a.m. is a strong sign you are a medium. I have always done this. Why?
A. The veil between here and the other side is thinnest between 3 and 4 a.m. You sense or feel the spirit energy and it wakes you.
Can Ghosts See Us?
Q. Can ghosts see us?
A. Yes and No. Ghosts who are aware they have died can see us. Those who are not aware they have died, may not be able to until they are aware.
What Happens to the Ghost
Q. My friend’s house recently had a fire in the kitchen. There was damage to most of the house, so they decided to demolish it and rebuild on the same foundation. They had a ghost that they had lived with for many years in their home. They lived peacefully together, and as weird as it may sound, they really like having the ghost there. My question is, with the house not being there anymore, what happened to the ghost?
A. The ghost is still there. She is associated with the land, not the house.
Is His Mother's Ghost Haunting Him?
Q. My neighbor’s house has a presence they can’t explain. They smell certain dishes in their home being cooked that only his mother made, and always at odd times. It might not happen for quite a while, but then it will happen again. Is his mother haunting their home?
A. No. His mother isn’t haunting their home. She has crossed to the other side, and is a spirit, not a ghost who is trapped here. When they are smelling these smells only associated with her, she is visiting, and just letting them know she is with them. She sends these particular smells, as they automatically associate them with her.
