Q:
Ступив на Землю под тем именем, которое вы носите сегодня, вы уже имели некую цель, которую поставила перед собой ваша душа. Доверьтесь Вселенной. Будьте открыты, приветливы и восприимчивы. Поверьте в себя.
Знайте: вы можете совладать со всем, что бы ни выпало на вашу долю. Помните: это ваша жизнь, и вы здесь для того, чтобы сиять.

Q:
Общению с обитателями потустороннего мира не научишься за мгновение, это долгий процесс. Лучшими учителями, наряду с бабушкой Фэй, для меня стали время и опыт. Желание пообщаться с бабушкой пересилило мой страх и увеличило шансы на вовлечение в этот процесс. Язык интуиции, или экстрасенсорный код, используемый в расшифровке посланий из потустороннего мира, уникален для каждого медиума. В ходе совершенствования навыков становится проще понять этот язык и легче расшифровать код.

Q:
Способность мыслить в терминах божественного порядка придает сил. Все мы – любимые дети бесконечной прекрасной Вселенной. На то, в какой точке мы находимся и по каким причинам умудряемся все терпеливо сносить, есть разумное основание. Попытка извлечь какой-либо урок в кромешной тьме является весьма эффективным способом не дать ей вас поглотить.

HIGHLIGHTS:
Gandhi: “Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony.”
1. Your intuition is asking to be heard.
- The higher part of ourselves sends messages to our future selves to help prepare us for future events.
- Loving yourselves is directly connected to the health of our bodies, mind, and spirits.
- The only way to grow intuitively is to seek information.
- Fear stops the intuitive process at its tracks.
2. SHINE: You have the experience to deal with whatever comes your way. Remember, this is your life and you are here to shine.
- We are all here to shine. Taking the steps necessary to fulfill our goals as souls is what makes us glow.
- It is difficult to remain in a place of fear when you are filled with laughter.
- Our soul's development is measured by our reaction to life circumstances and how well we hold onto our willingness to love. Taking the steps necessary to fulfill our spirit's goal is what makes us sparkle.
- Employ humor as a learning tool, it serves you well.
- When you accept love and return it, it becomes a part of your sparkle in your soul. Love is your companion in this world and into the next.
- When you love, you glow. People are attracted to light.
- When you work on an elevated intuition level, your character radiates with lightning speed. Be a tool for the greater good.
- When you are in an upbeat space, you beam, and good things and people find you.
- Intuition streamlines: Ambition is a spark sent from your soul. You’re so speaking to me through your passion and your peace.
3. Our guide’s core job is to light a path.
- Spending time reflecting on lessons learned is time well spent. Those on the other side are powerful teachers.
- Your senior guides' vibration is already familiar to you. You may think that this steady inner voice is simply your own. The voices will sound the same, but your guide will always be assuring and never deliver an unconstructive message.
- A helpful way to verify a signal from your higher self is to check in with your intuitive senses. The more you notice your intuitive voice, the louder and clearer it becomes.
4. Keeping your mind open keeps your awareness up.
- What once was a source of the pain may now be a source of wisdom and joy. It is a matter of balance.
- Observe how you experience input. Recognizing your procedure will serve to strengthen your intuition.
- When we remain conscious of our thoughts, we can wash away the dark ones and focus on the glory of the here and now.
5. To be grounded we must have a strong presence of being.
- When you know you are safe, you know when you are not.
- Big or small, an unspoken problem makes a lot of noise.
- Two critical elements to strive to develop: grounding yourself and defining your boundaries.
- Growing yourself spiritually helps add a sense of balance and dignity to your life, even in the most awkward of times.
- There is tremendous power in visualization, especially when combined with words of deep wisdom.
6. KIDS: Instructing children to be aware of and alert to their instincts as an act of love. When you do so, they learn a method of self-protection.
- Positive thoughts help create a fabulous life. Teach your children to think about others and themselves with love, and good things are sure to follow.
7. COMPASSION: Compassion can be a lifesaver.
- Compassion as a hand extend it to others and us. It reminds us of who we are and honors shared weaknesses. Compassion sets with the wounded and has no hierarchy.
- Boundaries and compassion make a gracious team.
- To judge another harshly is simply another manner of not forgiving and loving myself.
- It is empowering to shut out the voice of fear. What others think of me is none of my business.
8. GRIEF: It is when the pain is shared that it has a chance to dissipate.
- Beware of anyone who has suffered a significant loss and is desperately pretending there wasn’t one.
- Our loved ones in spirit know our pain and wish to grant us comfort as well, which they often do through our dreams. When a dream featuring a loved one in spirit is remarkably vivid, and we feel lucid and composed during and after, chances are it was a "visit".
- Most spirits blend back into a natural state, complete with the memories of all the lives their soul has left. This is a blissful state of consciousness where the soul knows its sole purpose.
- Surrounding those who need support is a great act of love.
- Relinquishing fear around dying frees up your energy for living.
- When any pure feelings are honestly liberated, the mirror action offers tender relief.
- If we are witness to a friend feeling his or her pain, we are made more aware that we have ignored our own, and have darkened our spirit as a result.
- The truth must be affirmed for us to move forward.
9. DEVELOPMENT: Our soul's development is measured by how we respond to life‘s conditions and how well we hold onto our willingness to love.
- Develop your intuition, and you may find you have an opportunity to help other people take a chance on themselves, and learn to shine.
- We must be willing and able to stand alone to truly stand up.
- Be open to the brilliant possibilities the universe has to offer and see them falling into your lap.
- Replace every negative thought with a positive one.
- Triumph is your ability to move in the direction of the soul‘s purpose despite greed and fear.
- Observe your patterns. When you begin to understand your drama, you begin to be liberated from it.
10. When you act on an intuitive impulse, you were celebrating one of the thoroughly joyful aspects of life on this planet.
- Who we are is defined by our reactions to the circumstances life brings our way.
- Your ability to identify the sensations you have when you envision your loved one is related to your ability to recognize their energy.
- If people do not allow themselves the emotion that is theirs, those emotions will rule them.
- When your consciousness is raised, so is your ability to receive spontaneous insights.
TIPS:
- Quick fix: say something generally kind about yourself, and then say something pleasant to someone else. You can change your life, moment by moment, with each thought.
- Musical chanting is powerful. Its place is the singer in neutral and is a beautiful and useful way to alter our state of consciousness.
- Write yourself a glowing letter recommendation

Fascinating stories of a Minneapolis medium. I was in a book group with the author's mother and adored her, so feel a kinship with Jodi.

This is the second time I have read this book. I really enjoy the light hearted style of Livon's writing.
It is a wonderful insight into what it is like to be a medium, and sheds light on the idea that we are all intuitive.
I go back to this book because of how accessible the author makes this topic. She is very clear about reading your own intuition and learning to trust it. It is a grounded and entertaining read that is worth dipping into more than once.
