On more of a personal note....

I haven't blogged in a while, mostly due to the fact I had my lovely cousin visiting for a couple of weeks and then work is increasing on top of that.

A little about my cousin and her strength, which I absolutely admire.
She was born some odd 23 years ago and she's become this medical wonder, both in Europe and in the USA.
At birth she was diagnosed with a heart defect, and not just a simple one, but one where there were holes between her heart compartments. Not faulty valves, but holes between the compartments of her heart. They patched that up, and a couple of years go by.
Then her mother always knew she wasn't quite ok, but doctors told her she was being hysterical.
Within 2 years it was discovered that my cousin was born with water on her head. Because too much time had gone by, it is now obvious as her left eye drifts off. She got a shunt and they hoped all would be well by then.
In regards to her heart, she also has another problem on top of the previous mentioned heart defect. She has an extra nerve in her heart, that will give her an extra beat. To me it sounded like a ghost beat immediately after the initial beat.
I too forget to mention that she was born with one leg slightly shorter than the other, and one foot smaller than the other. This is obvious when she walks and obvious when one looks at her back as it is now becoming curved, as if she had scoliosis.
At the age of about 20 she noticed she couldn't hear very well, so the doctors took a look inside of her ears, tested for hearing etc. etc. They discovered a tumor inside of her ear canal. The good thing was, that it was benign, and only on one side.
She went for surgery for that, but lost the whole inside of her ear, so now she is deaf on one side and had poor hearing on the other side.
Just about 2 years ago, she was unable to hold down much food anymore, and she had to go in for surgery. They then discover that her stomach had sustained tremendously stunted growth since the age of two and her lower intestines were all jammed together on one side.
They operated on her, and enlarged her stomach and removed her gallbladder, and moved the colon to the other side so it'd be more or less equal within her abdomen.
She has food allergies, such as potatoes and many many other things. If she eats certain things, the inside of her mouth will brake out in wounds.
She also has sun allergy, so that if she goes out in the sun, without any sun protection she'll get rashes all over.
This is just a part of her medical history that I know of, that have become obvious to me. I know that there are times when she can't keep any food down and it'll either come up or down.
She's a tough cookie though, and to my amazement she is one of the most tenuous young women around.
She knows herself better than anyone, and I do wish her all the best in her life. She deserves a great life

It makes my life seem absolutely wonderful, it helps me appreciate my tremendously good health. Yes indeed I'm one of those I never have to see inside of a doctors office

The Moment - Mindfullness - Reason for Passing

Today a friend of mine spoke before my mediumship. I must say I think she is absolutely excellent in all that she does.

Today's topic was about being in the moment, and how we cannot possibly linger in the past, or for that matter be in the future. It is merely the 'NOW' that matters. It is also what teachings in Zen Buddhism emphasises. I like that thought, because it reminds us to be mindful of all there is in our surroundings in the present moment. It teaches us to truly see the colour of the sky, it teaches us to truly turn to a person that has aggravated us, with a smile and think of forgiveness. Not necessarily towards that person, but towards oneself as our aggravation is our own, not theirs. That to me is truly about mindfullness, the respect for one's own spirit. It doesn't really matter what other people think or say, when we live with love in our hearts, and we are sincere towards ourselves.

When we are mindful of our own spirit, and when we are truly sincere and loving towards ourselves is when we can only be the same to others.

My friend truly inspired me today, and her talk was aligned with a talk I had with a good friend of mine the other day about 'The Moment' and 'Mindfullness'

After her talk I got to do my mediumship, and I wanted to share a few little moments that have lingered on with me.

If spirit was funny when they were living, they will continue to be funny in the 'world of spirit. Today I connected with a lady that passed with a serious breathing issue and ultimately congestive heart failure. She was funny because as she got older, she let it 'all hang out' she stopped wearing bra's. This wouldn't be all too bad, except that she was very large chested and her boobs were left to wander freely. Also her false teeth didn't quite fit in, so she hardly ever put them in towards the end, as they were more of an aggravation than anything else. This I displayed to the crowd, as I re-enacted how she was. It was quite funny actually.

Now, some people that may glance at this blog may ask themselves: 'How does she know this lady passed with congestive heart failure'?

To me, the answer is very simple. I will feel the spirit of this person over me, I will feel her large breasts flowing freely, I will feel and see myself trying to fit the false teeth into my mouth, yet knowing they don't fit that well. And on the matter of the congestive heart failure. I will go through the experience physically what this lady went through, and she will show me an image of her heart placed on top of mine, and in minds eye as I look down on my heart, I see my heart muscle drooping, and malfunctioning. How I know it's a congestive heart failure, is also because I will see not only the heart muscle drooping down and enlarging but I'll see sweat and tears coming out of that muscle which indicate to me, this heart has no strength or power anymore to function like the rest of the heart or like the heart used to. With me it usually is the left compartment of the heart that starts drooping. Finally I will see and feel moisture, and dampness inside her lungs as if they were my own, filling up with fluids. And as they fill up with fluids, I know I cannot breath with full capacity. This isn't a very detailed description of what I see, merely a tip of the iceberg.

The experience of mediumship can be fascinating. I'm hoping to fine tune my medical visions even more than I have in the past few weeks. I'm hoping I can get as detailed information again as I was able to get only a few months ago. I know it'll be returning one day, more vividly than ever before. I'll be able to see little nooks and crannies in different organs again, and I'll be able to see calcium build up, or cholesterol in peoples arteries, not only that it's there, but exactly where and how thick it is. That to me is fun, pushing the limits of what I can see. It all so extremely simple.
