Years ago when I first started giving readings, I did not start out as a medium. I evolved into that role. I began working with my spirit guide Heik in doing spiritual readings. I wanted to help people meet their angels and spirit guides so they could understand their path on Earth. I was working with a older woman who asked me , “Will my daughter stay with the black man?” I understood her question completely, but when I looked into spirit at Heik for my answer, she looked confused. She asked me “What is a black man? Does that mean he is a man with dark energy?” What I came to realize in that second was that Heik did not see the color of skin. I was not able to answer my client’s question, but was able to finish our session. After the session I went into a meditation to explain to Heik that when we incarnate into a physical body that body has different skin tones and varieties of features. She told me “We in spirit do not see your body, we see your energy, so the color of your skin is not seen. If you have negative thoughts you tend to hold darker energy than those who have positive thoughts. In that conversation I remembered a question I had been asked by my clients, “Do spirits see us naked?” Heik answered me from her spiritual understanding, “Humans can look naked and defenseless when living in fear, but all one needs is to cover with light.” So I guess my answer was, “No.”
Years later when my daughter Sarah was 5 years old we took a day trip to Philadelphia. We were walking by a man and Sarah stopped and looked up at him and then turned to me and asked “Why is that man so dark?” I was surprised by her question. We live in an area where there are many African Americans so why would she single him out? I quickly pulled her along, and then turned around to look back. I could see a troubled man who was about to make a decision of life or death.
Years ago I met a man who blinded me by his charm and good looks. When this man came to my apartment my Siamese cat, Tiki acted very upset around him. There were many growls and hisses. Throughout the weeks the man visited Tiki never warmed up to him. I eventually started to see the darkness in him that Tiki saw the moment he laid eyes on him. I now have a Border Collie named Jacob, who I walk daily. The best part of his walk is when he sees a young child. When he sees a child his eyes fill with excitement. He takes a moment to read their energy and if he does feel fear he pulls me towards them. It doesn’t matter what the color of the child’s skin is to Jacob. What is important is that the young child has love in their heart to share with him, through touch and a hug.
Maybe when you meet a stranger and you get an overwhelming sense of a positive or negative feeling it may not be a judgment, but that you are actually reading their energy. Carol was working for an insurance company and a new woman was hired. She seemed to be lovely. Carol called me in distress telling me that she really did not like the woman, but felt very guilty because she really did not have a reason. Was she judging her because she was divorced or was she jealous because of her beauty? I advised her to send light to the woman and release all judgment, but be cautious and trust her intuition. As time went on the woman pulled others into her drama. Carol took my advice and even though many problems subsequently happened at work Carol was never involved.
I spent a lot of time in meditation trying to understand why humans can be so cruel. I came to believe that the world would be a much better place if we did not make such quick assessments based on others physical appearance, but instead trusted our intuition, and let our hearts be the judge.
