Personal development is not achieved by thinking a click of the fingers makes it happen. However the positivism of your mind with relevant actions can bring about more abundance to enrich your life.

Today the abundance you want in your life could be a request for something simple, like enough money to bring peace of mind when a bill arrives.

Achieving what you want from life itself depends if you are aware of the difference of attracting positive and negative energy.

The secret is to try to change your attitude by setting off a daily train of thought as to what you have and what you need. You must try to imagine you know you are going to receive the things you need.

The angels that are around each and every person are there to protect you, while other guides wait for you to let them know that you are essentially asking them for help.

‘Spiritual law of intention’ is that you send out in your mind what are your next steps in your life or your ‘interpretation of intention’.

Private readings

A medium will be able to be more positive in their approach to letting you know more about your own personal helpers. Each person that visits a medium has their own guides whose job is to try and help in everyday decisions.

In a private reading, a medium will give you the details of the choices available to you, but it is still up to you to decide what you feel your next decision should be.

Tips on how to change your mindset

1. Focus positively on the things you want to come in to your life as a present to yourself

2. Do not be drawn into a conversation with anyone who is looking at things in a negative manner

3. When you receive your present, in whichever method of delivery, remember to be grateful and say thank you to your wonderful helpers

Always remember you are in charge of creating your own personal development plan.

Take the animals who live in the wild. Their messages are sent from one pack to another giving out warnings of danger from other predators, which can include humans.

Humans and their traits are more understood by family pets such as cats, dogs and birds; it is through these levels of energies combined with an element of body language and daily routine that our pets know when we are sad or happy.

Telepathic messages and waves of energies, it is this energy that a medium use to tune in to when giving messages from loved ones that have left their physical body.

It can be difficult at times with private readings to get the correct level of communication flowing between to sentient beings. Many times one party that has moved from this world will be intent on musing in their past and the person sitting across from the medium is expecting chapter and verse about what is happening around them at the moment.

When I am giving a private reading with tarot card only, the communication I pick up is generally about the wants and material needs of the sitter and friends and family.

When an animal has died, he is found to have the same desires as humans to let his owner know he is grateful for their love and care while on earth. Groups of family members who have passed from this earthly existence often meet up stay in groups and this includes their beloved pets.

When I mention home I am always going to be referring to that great northern town which represents the old fashioned saying of a ‘welcome in the hills side’.

Years ago in the town of Keighley Yorkshire, the birthplace of my mother, the first local Spiritualist church opened up its doors with the same warm greeting to everyone.

It was the start of an era and Spiritualist and mediums up and down the country are still doing good work by carrying forward positive thoughts to congregations that gather in Spiritualist churches with messages from friends and loved ones.

Mediums often travel to churches without receiving anything but their travelling costs.

Private readings are proving popular, however, it can be daunting for a medium who agreed to give a private reading only to find the person has changed their mind but not had the courtesy to telephone and release the appointment.

Now, I guess you will be saying to yourself ‘well the medium would already know if they are any good at receiving messages’. I wish I had a pound for the times that old joke has surfaced.

Mediums life a normal everyday life, washing, ironing, watching television, the time they give for private readings is to help others. The disappointment is when a person decides to not turn up to the appointment which could have been given to someone else who had to be turned away.

Colne and surrounding areas was known for its weaving mills and coal mines and it is dear to my heart.

It will always be that great northern town which represents the old fashioned saying of a ‘welcome in the hill side’.

Years ago in the town of Keighley Yorkshire, where my mother was born, the first local spiritualist church opened up its doors with the same warm greeting to everyone.

Today the doors of many churches are still open and Spiritualist and working Mediums up and down the country are carrying forward positive thoughts for those times when life is hard as jobs are scarce.

Mediums are not miracle workers but they do bring comfort to many people who just want to find out about their relations and friends that have passed over, hoping they can give them back a lifeline of positive thought.

However, as a working medium in Cheshire, I find there is this vast spirit within everyone, each one becoming a family while times are difficult, just as it was years ago.

It is this spirit that helped our ancestors to win wars. Today, we as humans may need private readings that bring comfort from our loved ones; this can help many to continue living with hope while utilising the creative energy within that is required to be constructive and not destructive.

Looking back over our lives and sharing memories with friends and relations that are not physically present can help humans to move forward in their lives.

However, they are quite willing to help me with evidence for a private reading where a client is in a need to know situation, or a memory from the past has been forgotten.

Memories are a great way for a medium to forge links from a family member or friend who has passed over. It is reasonable to say these types of details that mediums could not know.

When giving a private reading, sometimes the messages given from spirit guides can be hilarious as they too have a sense of fun. Usually they like to be a little cheeky to ensure a person who is feeling low can smile and relax, opening up the energies that allow me as a medium to give more evidence.

Guidance from spirit guides can be a difficult and long process if the person sitting across from is sat there silently wishing to speak to one special person, this closes the energies and can hold up the guidance coming from my guides who will help to bring through a loved one.

Guides are there to help relatives and friends to bring through personal messages , some find it easy to as they are determined to pass on to their siblings or friends that they are in a good place and not suffering any more.

When giving a medium a message in a private reading relatives are always eager to let the sibling know they have visited all the family members making sure they are alright, especially if there has been a birthday or an important family affair.

It is impossible for a medium to say who come through on a vibration of energy to give details in a private reading. A relative or friend has to adapt quickly to reach my vibration for me to pick up what they are saying.

A medium’s gift has to be cultivated to receive messages that would prove existence of life after death when a relative or friend is wanting to help out with emotional and financial issues.

Mediums can help a person who has booked in for a private reading to understand they have to move on and deal with the pain of losing someone they love. The help given can bring back a full night’s sleep, and heal some of the inner conflicts that the death of a loved one can bring.

I perceive my aim is to be good enough to pass details on as they are given.

Some mediums use the tarot as a way of tuning in psychically to help a person who has been left bewildered by life itself, and can not see a way forward and therefore needs some type of encouragement.

Reading the Tarot is great for the material problems that require direction, after all having back a level of inner confidence in dealing with daily problems emotionally and financially leads to a happier life.

A tarot reading can help a person to see they have to start clearing out the old negative ways and re-establishing new ones.

There is the difference between fortune telling and foretelling. a gypsy may be considered a fortune teller, but mediums are foretelling. However, in both cases you are in charge of your life and you are the only one who makes the decisions on how to live it.

I am proud to be a spiritualist, however a large percentage of traditional members of other religious faiths do not realise that Spiritualism is an accepted and established religion.

The Seven Principles spiritualists follow are legal and lawfully accepted, each one can have a meaning to anyone.

The Fatherhood of God

Nature and its inhabitants were all made by God, Laws of cause and effect is due to a creative force that affects the world. The power of God is evidential in all forms of life.

The Brotherhood of Man

We as humans are one large family; a brotherhood that regularly needs support. The purpose of this principle is to remind us to support and comfort all.

We should learn to give and to share in the good things in life but also the hard times and burdens that can affect humans and animals.

A person who gives has also to learn to receive to bring about a balance in life itself.

The Communion of Spirits and the Ministry of Angels

A Spiritualist church brings together people of all races, each one hoping that the medium taking the service will give them a message from a relative or friend.

Continuous Existence of the Human Soul

Scientists agree that matter is proven as being an energy that cannot be destroyed. A medium will give proof that although a physical body may not be of use. The spirit of the person has passed to another dimension and their personalities and character lives on.

Personal Responsibility

This principle is one that touches each living person as a reminder that all wrongful deeds and choices lie with the individual and they are the ones responsible for every aspect of their life.

Native American guides are traditionally known to be closer to Mother Nature than most , and are considered the most common of guides who help mediums use their spiritual gifts.

The various tribes living in different locations in America would have an elder or a tribe leader. Highly respected, his role was to lead and to make decisions on behalf of the other members of his tribe.
Another highly respected member of any tribe was the medicine man. He would collect herbs and stones and keep them in a pouch. He was allowed to administer his medicine to other members of his tribe; in short he was a mediumistic spiritual healer, and the items he would collect would assist him in receiving the visions that would guide him. He would also receive wisdom from the tribe’s ancestors, who would appear to him in dreams.

When we are young, we are often told by our parents that the more we ask for anything the less we receive. However, angels are allowed to assist us more if we remember to ‘ask’ them for help, but they cannot be expected to do our bidding or make decisions for us.

Archangel Michael is a leading angelic being, and is known to be strong and protective, rated as a highly ranked angel within the celestial hierarchy.

For personal protection, call upon Archangel Michael for help to protect your home, vehicle, and valuables while you are away on holiday, or if you are feeling vulnerable.
Another aspect of Archangel Michael’s role is to help reduce the toxic energies that block the world, and help to assist a person who is struggling with his career and life’s purpose. He and his team of angels can also boost your confidence and reduce any negative feelings that make you feel threatened by replacing low self-esteem with a higher level of confidence and love.

A private reading with a medium is a way of receiving helpful materialistic and spiritual help.

A guide’s main role is to help a medium verbally pass spiritual messages to help those requiring guidance through a private reading.

A guide is a highly developed spirit person who has usually lived on earth many years ago.  They have chosen to teach and act as a link between the two planes of existence, so at the same time helping a medium to develop the gift they have.

As an example, Red Indians often work closely with guides; they are well known for being spiritual people that lived and worked with Mother Nature and so many are ideally suited to spiritual work.

However a guide can also be someone a person has known in a previous life or a family member.  There are guides for different skills too.  Healing guides tend to be Chinese, Mandarin or Japanese, perhaps because all these nations are well known for their skills with healing therapies and herbs.

A budding medium will have to work carefully to recognise there guides’ teachings.  Their psychic skills have to be raised to a higher spiritual level; the gifts they have require a certain sense of responsibility when making contact with the spirit world and passing on messages of comfort in a private reading.

Each guide chooses to work closely with a medium, remaining close to earth to be of assistance, only moving away and slipping into the background at certain times.
