Most mediumship readings do not generally communicate wisdom from spiritual masters or advanced spirits from the realm of Spirit. A sitting with a Medium will be direct messages coming from a deceased person whom the sitter (the person requesting the reading) will recognize. Channeling, on the other hand, usually does bring forth wise and sensible messages from higher-plane entities. Channeled readings can stimulate a new level of soul growth and illumination. On occasions when our spirit-guides offer advice through a medium, most readings focus on communication from our deceased loved-ones. If you watch well known mediums on television, what you will witness are clear-cut messages from deceased loved-ones that supply confirmation of an afterlife—not messages conveying universal wisdom. Each gifted ability—mediumship and channeling—have their purpose and unique benefits. Neither is more important or impressive than the other. A reading with a psychic medium provides us with invaluable evidence that we survive death, that our deceased loved-ones still exist in the astral realms, and that our loved-ones in spirit are still love us and are watching over us from the other side.
Channeling requires a great deal of trust between the channel instrument and the Master Guide. Understand that authentic channels do not allow just any being to enter their body. Most establish a rapport with one special being, or at the most a few, who are given special permission to enter their body. The information channeled is positive in nature and is for the benefit of all. Until we have a “knowing” that this is true, we cannot fully gain from the channeled messages of advanced spiritual beings. Skepticism, however, minimal, will impede us from the full benefit of it and should be overcome. But once we have that special knowing, channeling can help us reach a new level of enlightenment.
On a further note, if either a mediumistic message or channeled message is given that does not vibrate in a positive manner with the receiver; it should be noted but examined. I tell my students, do not take any action unless they are sure on an intuitive level that this message, however enlightened, is the right message or action for them at the time. Discernment is most imperative in any contact with the higher realms.

Because I always felt somewhat different and very sensitive to the unseen mysteries of life, I was aware at a very young age there was so much more to this material world than we can see with our visual eyes. I instinctively knew that we live many life times, and that we are in reality, spiritual beings in a physical shell
When I began this journey into the unknown many years ago, there were few training facilities. And truthfully, I was a little afraid to explore and develop my gifts. Putting my trepidation aside, I began my journey at the Berkeley Psychic Institute in Berkeley, California. It was a long way to go, across the bridge to the East Bay from my home town in Palo Alto, but I persevered. During those years I also began studying astrology, about the angelic realms, how to contact my spirit guides, and past lives. I read every book available on the subjects and practiced as much as I could. As I continued to grow and expand my knowledge, paranormal events were happening at an accelerated rate in my life.
I moved to the southwest in the early eighties and met my first real mentor and teacher. She told me I would soon be doing intuitive counseling just as she was. I distinctly remember telling her, " This is just a side interest of mine and I think you must be mistaken." But, she insisted that I too would be doing readings for others. As it turns out, I have counseled hundreds and hundreds of people and worked in most facets of the intuitive arts field. This, coupled with a corporate career, has kept me very busy.
What I have found in my fascinating journey into the inner realms, is a new way of living and thinking. I have been able to experience life and its mysteries to its fullest and find wonder in all there is. The inner expansion and healing as result has been a phenomenal gift. And, I truly believe those individuals willing to explore and increase their potential like I did, have the opportunity to live a wonderfully enriched life by drawing from the limitless supply of amazing graces we've all been given.
