Video: Empowerment of the Light Bearers Click READ MORE to launch the video. May 20, 2019 Church of Spiritual Light Empowerment of the Light Bearers As I reclined in my cot, preparing for the Reiki/crystal bowls meditation to begin, I saw burning embers permeate the space. They fell down like dry autumn leaves that had been set ablaze. I understood that these leaf-sized pieces of ash represented the negative energy that was or would be released during this healing ceremony. I heard the following: Out with the old; in with the new. It is a time of renewal as we release that which does not serve us. As those words formed in my mind, the Beatles’ song  Let it Be  started playing, and I realized these were, indeed, words of wisdom that were speaking. It’s all about letting it be—stopping resistance and allowing for a natural flow. It’s all about opening the heart.  With that thought, I saw a globe of energy swirling in front of me. It was circular, but on some level, I und...

Video: Luminosity Click READ MORE to launch the video. Goddess I AM Luminosity: 10-05-18 Before the meditation began, I saw a shower of bright gold raindrops. It sprinkled down over the room like a gentle spring shower. The room began to fill with this energy, and soon the floor looked like a small golden lake. Its surface danced with lights, shimmering as if it were alive, casting sparkles of light across the room. I had a difficult time concentrating because the golden shower continued as people entered the room and introductions began. A message began: The golden drops of rain replenish the spirit just as a fresh spring rain replenishes a parched Earth, giving sustenance for growth.  As these words poured forth, I saw a seed in the ground. Like time-lapsed photography, I saw a small root begin to grow, anchoring it within the deep, rich rain-soaked soil. There was movement at the top of the seedpod as the plant began to sprout. It breached the shell of the seedpod and began to...

Video: White Tiger Returns Click READ MORE to launch the video. Goddess I Am Meditation: 10-19-18 White Tiger Returns I settled into a space before the meditation began, and right away I began to perceive energy. I saw horizontal layers of pastel clouds of energy. There were seven or eight layers, and every other layer flowed in opposite directions. This was a gentle, loving motion that reminded me of a mother rocking a newborn. I smelled the unmistakable scent of roses. As this permeated the air, I felt and then saw Mother Mary enter. As her presence flooded the room, the rose fragrance changed to a mist, and it rained down on the room.  The clouds dissipated; they had served their purpose of bringing in this divine love, this divine energy from Mother Mary. I heard these words: The foundation is now set. The protections are now in place for healing. This healing will carry all throughout the day and into weeks to come.  In my mind’s eye, I saw a bathtub. It had claw feet ...

The Reluctant Messenger - Tales from Beyond Belief: An Ordinary Person's Extraordinary Journey into the Unknown by  Candice M. Sanderson Clark Press book review by Barbara Bamberger Scott "The message captivated me; the authors of my first message about a flower had revealed themselves through this familiar lyrical language." In this mystical memoir, a psychologist turns psychic and shares the results of that experience. In 2013, Sanderson, a widow who had raised two children to successful adulthood, had a demanding but rewarding position as a school psychologist. Things seemed organized and predictable. But then, Sanderson says, “In ten minutes, my life changed forever.” In the midst of her daily commute, powerful words came into her mind, bidding and forcing her to listen and later record a message which spoke of a flower as a “flow-er of energy” and urging her to be such a “flow-er,” to grow and flourish. Though the experience caused her heart to po...

Video: Eye of the Tiger Click READ MORE to launch the video. Before the meditation began, I saw a path carved out of a dense jungle or forest; it was inlaid with clear quartz crystals. I saw a white tiger walking stealthily on this trail as I heard the following:   This is a holy path, one that connects the spirit world with the physical world. Follow the tiger and step upon this path of wisdom. For those who are on this path have stepped into the timeless wisdom of the Garden of Eden. It is outside of time where ordinary is no longer ordinary.    The eye of the tiger: follow the eye of the tiger.   As I glanced at the inlaid crystal path something changed. The jewels morphed from crystal clear to multi-colored. An understanding swept over me and I realized the path represented the chakras (energy centers) within the body. I had a knowing that humanity has only begun to understand the chakra system. It is much more complex than we can even imagine. As we evolve, ...

Video: Earth Star Click READ MORE to launch the video. May 6, 2019 Earth Star: Church of Spiritual Light Most of the snowbirds had flown back to their northern cities; southwest Florida this time of year are too hot for most of them. The traffic was significantly reduced, so my sometimes 90-minute commute to Fort Myers took less than an hour. My friend Carmel and I arrived at Church of Spiritual Light more than thirty-minutes before the crystal bowls/Reiki meditation began. We settled into our cots, in preparation for this event, and right away I knew things were different from the other times I’d attended this event. I often receive messages as soon as I lie down but not this time. I immediately felt energy as it churned throughout my body. My stomach began to growl and gurgle as if I had not eaten in days. I knew this represented energy shifting through my body.  I heard people entering the church for the meditation, but I kept my eyes closed as I focused on these strong vibra...

Video: The Great Star Nation Click READ MORE to launch the video. I settled in my cot at Church of Spiritual Light for the Reiki/Crystal Bowls meditation. Within seconds, a message arrived:  April 15, 2019 The Great Star Nation comes to the Earth, bringing with it the skies of knowledge, lighting the path to follow. Lead on, past the cosmos and beyond. Know that your essence began in the cosmos, the stardust from beyond is the glue that binds your essence together. Light up your life. Let your inner light, your inner star, shine forth. Know that your essence is contained within the stardust that is everywhere.  Let your light shine within, shine without. Spread your wings of light throughout the cosmos. Be at one with the universe. Know the wisdom that lies within.  Like a homing beacon, it calls you to step outside your physical body, to step outside your comfort zone. Allow. Simply allow. As I heard these words, I knew I was at one with the universe. I was one who kn...
