THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL READ TODAY: A Story of Synchronicity, Miracles, and life

3/28/12

THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT THING YOU WILL READ TODAY!


My Story of Synchronicity, Miracles, and Life

My morning started off a little rocky. Abigail, my daughter, failed to mention until the very last minute that she needed a calculator for her standardized testing today. I became very irritated with her for waiting until the last minute. It didn’t take much before my annoyance started to get the best of me and I found myself being snippy and unkind towards her. As I felt my bad mood boiling inside of me, a calm voice within told me to get myself in check. This voice reminded me that it wasn’t worth starting the day off badly or sending her into testing with hurt feelings. I had a knowing within that I should get it together because you just never know…. However, I am also human, and sometimes I like to tell that spiritual self inside to just stuff it. I decided I didn’t want to hear what it had to say at that moment.

We found a calculator, but the batteries just happened to be almost dead. I decided to run into the store and get some and that Abbie would just have to face the natural consequences of her actions- being late to school and perhaps having a lunch detention or something. As I headed back to the car after paying, that voice inside of me piped up again. “You need to apologize and make things right.” It insisted. “Don’t go your separate ways today being mad. You know what can happen if you do…” This time I listened.

I got back in the car and apologized to my daughter for being upset with her, but I also explained WHY. I told her that it is important for her to plan more in advance so that we can avoid these types of situations. I let her know that she would most likely be late (unless we had all green lights and I could maybe speed a little). I also told her that she was going to have to tell the truth about WHY she was late (and not put the blame on me for not getting her batteries sooner or something). We made our peace, said our “I love you’s” and turned up the radio to find a happy song.

A few minutes down the road, a black SUV decided that it wanted to occupy the same space as my car. The laws of physics tell us that this is just not possible! Without a turn signal, (not that it would have done any good), this vehicle started pushing itself into my lane. Of course, I freaked out! My first thought was, “Oh my God! My kids!” He was plowing his way in on the side where my 11 year old Peanut sat next to me in the front and my Pumpkin Head of six months babbled and played with his toys in his car seat. I slammed on the brakes! I didn’t even bother with the horn. I felt the car begin to lose control. I felt myself losing control. We swerved back and forth, pulled in and out of the lane… Fortunately, in the hustle of heavy highway traffic flying down the road in a hurry to their destinations, somehow enough room was made for me to do what I needed to do, and the road opened up for me to drive into the turn lane between medians. I could feel that the car was going to flip and I knew what would happen then. Everything was very surreal. Abigail was frightened and THAT SAME CALM VOICE inside of me instructed me on how to stop the car safely, and, miraculously, I did. We sat there in shock and silence as the rest of the world drank their coffee, talked on their cell phones, mentally planned their days, and pressed their accelerators to make it where they needed to be on time. Though I know they had seen what had almost happened, (as I’m sure many had to act quickly to avoid being a part of the accident), no one came back. We were left in our silence.

Abbie cried and I hugged her telling her it was okay. I was able to do what I needed to do to avoid the accident. We thanked God, our angels, and that voice inside for intervening. As I pulled away, I thought to myself, “This is like that Carrie Underwood song where she loses control of the car, her life flashes before her eyes, and her baby is in the backseat oblivious to it all…”

I dropped Abigail off at school and began the journey home. I was so upset at that stupid so-and-so driver for nearly killing me and my family! How could he or she not be paying attention? That driver was in such a hurry to get wherever they were going, they put our lives at risk! Then, that (darned) calm voice within came again… “Are you sure you’re not being hypocritical? Were you not yourself in a hurry to get your own daughter to school? Just because it wasn’t your fault this time, it could have just as easily been…” Then the epiphanies came. What if??? What if I had lost my children in that accident? How would I have survived each day after??? What IF I had lost them and Abigail and I hadn’t made up yet and were still angry? What if I had died and had left Abigail behind with only the memories of me being upset with her? How would that have affected her the rest of her life? Maybe she would have to seek out a medium like me to get that closure, and that’s never a guaranteed thing… What if the three of us were gone and I would have left behind my parents and brothers and their families without saying “I love you” one last time? What if I hadn’t only the night before gotten the courage to let someone special in my life know just how much he means to me… What if??? I’m glad I listened to that beautiful, wise voice within. If things had gone differently, I would not have had to look back at my life from the Other Side filled with regret and still longing to express myself to those I love.

There are so many lessons for all of us from this one hour of my day. This typical morning brings some very powerful truths about love, life, and God.


1) DON’T WAIT to tell the people in your life how much they mean to you. Don’t take for granted that they already know. I can’t tell you how many times I am doing a reading for someone who KNOWS their loved one loved them, and the loved one on the other side is saying “Of course I love you and still do”, but that client didn’t hear it before their passing. She needed it just one more time…

2) Remember each word you say could be your last. Every action you take could be your last. If not your last, those moments could be the last your children, parents, friends, spouse, or other special person in your life could ever spend with you. How will you spend each of those moments? Holding grudges and letting the negativity within spill out of us at another person isn’t worth it. Do NOT put yourself in the situation where you have to look back and say, “If I had only…” The next minute is never guaranteed. It is not a right. It is not even reliable. Live in this moment; and in THIS MOMENT, I encourage you to contact the person that you have hurt, or who has hurt you, and make things right.

3) SLOW DOWN! How often does being in a hurry get us into trouble? Hurrying through work causes us to make mistakes that we often have to go back and correct anyway, thereby wasting more time than we saved. It makes us miss out on the good stuff that’s happening right NOW. It could also be more serious as in this morning’s incident. Are the consequences of causing a fatal car crash and having to live with the guilt of 3 people’s lives on your conscience really worse than the ramifications of being a few minutes late to school or to work? Is loss through death and a lifetime of sadness for many really preferable over a reprimand of some sort? Think about it.

4) This is also a lesson in forgiveness and finding the opportunity and beautiful message in everything that life brings our way. It’s a lesson on perspective. My first inclination was to come home, get on Facebook, and tell that bleepedy-bleep-bleep to watch where he was blank-ing going, and how could people be so stupid??!! However, I realized that I really owe that person a very big THANK YOU. (HUH??!!) Thank you for reminding me of the value of love, life, and my family. Thank you for teaching me that I should always speak in love that lifts up others. Thank you for allowing me to have such a miraculous experience where my Higher Power stepped in to save my stupid butt when I couldn’t think clearly! Thank you for giving me this story to share with others, because I know it will change people’s days and maybe even their lives… Thank you, my friend! May you be blessed and may you always be safe.

5) Finally, and this one’s a toughie because it requires a good hard look at the things we don’t like about ourselves, but we must be willing to see the hypocrisy in our own lives. As Mathew 5:7 says, “You hypocrite! First take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.” It could have easily been me who nearly killed a lady and her two kids today. I was also in a hurry. How often do we blame other people for doing the very same things that we do?


As all good stories do, this one has a very cool ending. Remember my thoughts I had while getting back on the road about that Carrie Underwood song? For those of you who listen to the radio, you know that “Jesus Take the Wheel” was popular a few years back, but it doesn’t get a whole lot of air time these days. As I was driving down the road having all of these epiphanies and knowing that I had to come home and share this story with you, that song came on the radio. I fought back tears, gave thanks once again for being alive and being loved, and promised I would pass along this message to all of those who would read it…

Below is the song. May you all be blessed and be safe.





Love,

New Mantra for Me; Maybe for You Too?

Hello all!



While at the Historical Spiritualist Camp, Camp Wonewoc, in Wisconsin, I learned a lot about myself. I did some dealing and healing. I did some soul searching. I opened up more spiritually and professionally. Oh, and I even helped some other people to do the same (I think)! :)



Whether you're a psychic, intuitive, healer, medium, sensitive, or any other type of spiritual person / title, maybe a new matra that I have taken on for myself will help you as well.



I used to get so nervous before readings. (Yes, even though I've done hundreds of them.) The problem was, I was so motivated to give everyone the best possible reading. I wanted to help as many people as possible and be as accurate as possible. Now, this doesn't SOUND like a problem. It's a good thing, right? Well, yes, except that I learned something very important:



One day, my guides nearly slapped me in the face with an epiphany. They told me, "STOP taking responsibility for what comes through in a reading. Stop stressing yourself out. Coming up with the information and the messages is NOT YOUR JOB! You're just the channel. you're just the messenger. You show up and do THAT job, and we'll handle the rest!"



Wow, what a lesson in surrender and letting go of ego. They were right. I took the advice and it made my days up there (doing back-to-back half our sessions) much easier. It also made me a more clear channel, and it kicked up my accuracy even more. It was so freeing to not worry about what I was going to say to people. I took on a new mantra that's been working well for me, and I'll share it with you.



One of my guides said simply, "Open your heart and let God speak." During my meditation before readings, I imagine opening little doors over my heart chakra and I affirm aloud, "I open my heart, and I let God speak."



I'm not the one speaking. I'm not the one that has to give people spiritual insight or information that will help them in their lives. That's The Universe's job. By worrying about whether what I passed along would be good enough, I was doubting my faith. I was doubting the Divine. Duh, how ridiculous! :) I was already doing well, but was so stressed out by wanting to make sure that everything was perfect and that people walked away with what they needed. By learning to surrender to the Higher Powers, I was able to be completely at peace.



People continued to walk away with what they intuitively came for, and even more, and I was able to simply enjoy the process. For this, I am truly grateful.



I just wanted to share this in case there was anyone out there that might be able to learn from it and grow to trust themselves and the Universe's messages a little more.



Love Always,

My Take on Destiny vs. Free Will

I received the following question in an email and thought I would include it and my response in a blog in case others have the same question. In reviewing what I wrote, I did add some more information:


QUESTION: “If you don't mind me asking a question; If nothing is written in stone and we have free will, then why does the spirit tell [us] for example "So-and-so will be married. He is the one!" Then he changes his mind. Well, isn't Spirit suppose to know ahead of time that he changed his mind? It makes me wonder if a reader perhaps can read the energy at that time only…”


MY REPLY: You are asking a SUPER intricate question, and I will do my very best to answer it. I've often thought the same thing. I do know that when we're reading psychic energy, we ARE reading how things are set to be at that moment in time. It's like taking a photograph of your future and describing the details as they are. However, free will does change things. When Spirit gives messages, during mediumship, then I'd assume that, YES, they know how it will play out. So a psychic reads the energy. A medium relays messages from outside sources. A psychic medium, like me, does both. Tricky, huh? LOL



This also brings into play the competition between free will and Destiny. I do believe that some things ARE destined to happy regardless of which road we choose to take to get there (the free will part). Some would say, “Well then that can't be free will if it's destined.” However, consider that we used our free will BEFORE we incarnated to make the decision about what our destiny WOULD BE during this lifetime. So we still had free will, it was simply exercised long before and that option may not be open anymore because we already played the free will card. So we already USED free will in that situation.


Also, sometimes (in a reading) things will feel more set in stone to me, and then I figure that whatever actions were needed to make that event happen have already been taken, and so it's going happen regardless. Whenever something feels LESS set in stone, and I feel like the ball is in one person's court or they have total control, then I have to assume that they have not yet done the actions to set the event into motion. At this point, the outcome is more easily controlled or changed, and that’s, in my opinion, the best time to get the spiritual heads-up.


If we look at it from this perspective, then it may also make it a little easier to understand why Spirit tells us some things and not others. In the case where everything is set in stone or destined, and maybe it’s best for us not to know because there’s not a THING that can be done to change the situation, perhaps Spirit will tell us nothing. Would it do any good to know that you’d be divorced from your husband in three years? Perhaps a three years that WOULD HAVE been good and filled with happy memories would instead turn into a miserable three years of stress, worry, and irritation. The only change then that COULD HAVE BEEN made, would be one that would be harmful to you. I do believe that Spirit and our Higher Selves do offer protection for us against some things in life. For the person who says, “Well, again, if Spirit withholds the information,that is interfering with our free will again.” Okay, fair enough. If that’s not how it works, then perhaps it is our Higher Selves exercising our free will by blocking the reception of such a message. Regardless of how it works, there is protection of our psyche, heart, soul, and future at play.


I even believe that we could take that a step further and say that Spirit may even refuse information based on the fact that we COULD change it, and that the outcome if we do is not in our best interest, and so it’s kept a secret so that we stay out of what’s already in the works. Lastly, consider that we are here to live life. We are here to exist as human experiencing the human experience. If we walked around every day with our plan for that day already laid out in a handy notebook full of which moves to make, which moves not to make, and every event that was on the way, how could we POSSIBLY learn anything? If we can’t learn, how can we grow as humans and evolve as souls? Remember that our spiritual evolution is the goal here. Some information may HELP the evolutionary process, ESPECIALLY if someone is opening up spiritually and energetically to God and the mysteries of the Universe, and maybe that is why some information is more easily accessible than other top-secret files! A last note here: Some things are simply more fun as surprises. Having the ALL the answers could make us miss out on incredible emotions and some of the happiest moments and surprises that await us during our human journey. (Certainly, this doesn’t mean that you won’t have a heads-up about some of those things. You’re exercising free will in asking.) Again, tricky business!



Please understand that this is only one medium’s perspective on all of this (mine). I’ve given it based on my personal beliefs and experiences. I also feel that I was guided in my answer. However, I encourage you to take what I’ve said and explore for yourselves. What do you think? More importantly, what do you FEEL? Psychism and spirituality are not an exact science. These things come to our attention and are integrated into our learning through trial and error. I encourage you to experience and learn with your heart and with your soul rather than trying to rationalize everything with the mind. Not that the mind’s analysis is a bad thing, because it’s not, but just make sure you’re getting BOTH sides of the experience, as balance is key in all things.



I hope this helps.



Love,
Gem

Open Your Heart and Let God Speak

The Meaning of DEATH in Dreams


The Symbolism / Meaning of Death in Dreams:



I've had several people tell me recently that they have had dreams of dying or of loved ones dying. I, myself, had a dream of my own death just a few nights ago. I know these dreams are pretty common, but I have to wonder if there is something going on astrologically or on a larger scale that is inspiring or causings these death dreams.

Anyhow, dying in a dream typically denotes the end of something or someone. However, this is rarely a literal "end." Instead, it is usually a symbolic "end." So, if you dream of your own death, you are quite possibly dreaming about the end to the "you" that you have been up until that point, or the end to a part of yourself or a phase in your life. Whenever there is death, there is rebirth. So this end to the old you or this aspect of yourself gives way to the NEW you, or part of you, that is ready to be born!

What if the death in the dream is a murder? Well, this could be interpreted to mean that the end to that person as they are, the aspect of that person (such as their unhealthy co-dependence in a relationship or denial of the spiritual self), or a certain experience is at the hands of another person. So either another person is responsible for this happening or you FEEL that another person is to blame. However, if this is a good thing causing change, then that person is really a catalyst for a positive outcome!

To give an example: A woman contact me very upset, frantic really, because she'd had a dream that her child had been murdered by a family member. I helped this woman interpret her dream to see that it was really about how she felt that this family member had forever changed her child in a way that was irreversable, (since death is final; there's no changing it). (I encouraged her to help her child take this opportunity to reinvent himself and discover his own personal beliefs and grow from/with them.)

So, quite often the death dream is viewed as a horribly terrifying experience when, in actuality, it could be a very positive message: A NEW BEGINNING! Get ready to get creative and build something new! Enjoy the experience :).

I hope this has been helpful!

The Volcanic Eruption Within DOES Bring Peace...

I wrote this in an email to someone and realized that there are others who feel the same types of pain, loss, and isolation. We're all here going through the same things. Hopefully this will speak to some and help them to find peace....

****************************

...Never lose hope. As a spiritually evolved person, you know that there is rhyme and reason to EVERYTHING that you create for yourself in your lifetime. Perhaps it's time to look at the situtations you've been through and where you're at now. Can you find patterns? What seems to be the underlying theme in the trials of your life?

I'm personally going through a MAJOR healing process of my own right now too. I have to look back at the events that have brought me the most pain. I then allow myself to FEEL that pain, that anger, that sadness.... Whatever my spirit needs. (We are spiritual beings having a human experience, after all... Denying ourselves our right to experience does NO GOOD. Denial is NO GOOD all the way around, actually!) After that, I trust that it's being thrown in my face over and over again so that I'll LOOK at it. I know that I can't ignore the pain. So, we look at it and find out what's the common thread?

What do these separate events have in common? I can see several commonalities in mine. Once you've done that, then ask yourself this: "Okay, if these are the common themes, what am I supposed to learn from them? What were these events supposed to teach me? I didn't plan this pain all for nothing!" The trick is not to let the suffering be wasted. Once you can find and accept how these things have added to making you a stronger, more beautiful spirit, the pain will begin to subside and you're on the road to healing!

WARNING: The process WILL initially intensify the pain. You may find yourself digging up things you've been busily ignoring in your everyday life for years! When it comes up, it's like a volcanic eruption! However, after a volcano erupts, the fire does cool, and so will the pain. It's an intense experience that will act as a catalyst for peace within. (Hey, healing is hard work, but it's very much worth the process!) Just be aware that you're likely to become more moody, sensitive, and more easily triggered by events that remind you of your pain than before. However, at this point, you're out of denial and making progress. It won't stay that way and you'll start to feel the weight lift from you. You'll know you're headed in the right direction!

I urge you to go to the videos section [of our website- http://geminirose.ning.com] and watch the Neale Donald Walsch ones. If you only watch one, I suggest the "God Says Yes" one. (I think it was the first one added.) When I speak in my daily life, or when I'm thinking about life, or when I'm praying; I imagine what Neale talks about in his brief video. I imagine that God agrees and says "yes" to everything that I'm thinking/saying. "My life is falling apart..." and God says, "Yes, Gem, you're right. It is!" If I say, "Nothing ever goes right!" Spirit agrees, "I know.... That's true..." On the other hand, if I affirm "My life is beautiful and I'm surrounded in love", God replies, "Oh yes, you are!" "Everything always works out okay in the end..." I'll hear "Yes it does.... and it will..." It really puts things into perspective, because then I KNOW that I'm going to really GET whatever I am choosing to create at that moment.

I wish you all the very best in your travels to a more peaceful life both within yourself and in your surrounding experiences. One affects the other, and YOU create it all...


Love,
Gem
