Adventures with Spirit

June 6, 2021

“The big question is whether you are going to be able to say a hearty yes to your adventure."

Joseph Campbell
Because I am a professional medium and intuitive life coach, people often ask me how communication with Spirit works: "What's it like?" "Do you hear Spirit the same way you hear me?” “Have you been doing this your whole life?" And because I have an extensive family history of mediums and spiritual healers, people sometimes assume that I was born with some special ability they don’t possess - which simply isn’t true. Everyone has the ability to communicate with Spirit!
Spirit speaks in many ways
I think this misconception is so prevalent because people expect the clouds to part, a beam of bright light to shine down, and a thundering and unmistakably Divine voice to speak very clearly in great detail. And it does happen that way - occasionally. More often, however, Spirit communicates with us in subtle ways, like these:
  • A thought simply comes into your awareness and it’s not your thought.
  • You hear a sound (like a chime, or a whisper), but not with your physical ears.
  • A significant date - perhaps a birthday or anniversary of a dearly departed loved one - shows up (on your phone, the clock, or a license plate) and the current day "happens to be" your birthday or another important day in your life.
  • You find a penny or feather on the ground (or a meaningful song comes on the radio, or the lights flicker strangely) right when you’re thinking about someone or something special.
  • You smell a familiar scent (like the perfume of a favorite person from your childhood who is now in spirit), yet no perfume and no person is anywhere near you.
Most of the time, Spirit communication is very subtle. We miss it if we aren’t paying attention, or we don’t know what to look for. And we often second-guess it, or analyze it away.
The good news is that you can develop your intuitive, psychic, and mediumistic abilities. You can learn how to recognize, understand, and apply these natural talents and skills, and experience greater meaning and fulfillment that they bring to your life.
You can develop your gifts
If you want to learn how - how to listen to the voice of your own intuition, how to enhance your psychic skills, how to connect and communicate with Spirit yourself - Inner Compass has a course for you: Spirit Speaks: Exploring the World of Spirit Communication.
Level 1 of this fun and empowering workshop series introduces you to the joys of working with Spirit while developing your natural abilities. Level 2 builds on your intuitive, psychic, and mediumistic skills through fun and interactive experiences so that you can enjoy the inspiration and support that comes with your spirit connections.
Say a hearty yes to your adventure
Are you feeling called to explore your spiritual gifts? You might want to tune into your inner wisdom now to find out whether the time is right for you. And if you are ready to say yes, we are all ready for you - our next offering of Spirit Speaks Level 1 is coming up in just one week (Saturday, June 13). RSVP now to ensure your seat for this adventure that will surely bring greater meaning, connection, and fulfillment to your life! And if you have a different adventure in mind, or now is not the right time - check out the Inner Compass Website to see whether an individual session might help you find your way. Or perhaps you'll see an adventure among our other events that does call to you. I hope you'll find something that you feel was created just for you.
