PODCAST! Rob Talks about his book "Kindred Spirits" on Dr. Grimmy's Medicine Show (Radio)

I had a really wonderful time talking with Dr. Grimmy on his radio show late on Oct. 26 to early this morning, Oct. 27th.  Before the interview there was 44 minutes where Dr. Grimmy spoke to callers about religious views of mediums (which are never favorable - and the caller echoed that). My interview starts at about 45 minutes, and I had a great time discussing spirits, ghosts, my new book "Kindred Spirits," and all things paranormal. There were some great callers during my segment who asked great questions.

Carol's Amazon Book Review I Like: Kindred Spirits

Reviewing books after you read them is helpful to others who may be searching for something in the genre. The more reviews a book gets on Amazon, the more visible it becomes to others, and I enjoy reading reviews for books I want to read, and I'm honored when others tell me what the found interesting and touching in the books I write. Here's one of the latest reviews for my book, Kindred Spirits, by Rob Gutro.
  (It's available on Amazon.com for $6.99 paperback and $3.49 kindle).
(My thanks to Carol for this review).

This is a fascinating story of a spirit (Ed) who befriended Rob and continues to enrich his life in so many ways. It is heartwarming to read his story filled with lessons for all of us, comfort for those morning a great loss and advice for all of us to use in contacting those in spirit. Knowing that our loved ones and precious pets live on and are around us is incredibly comforting.

There is a Difference between a Medium and a Psychic

Recently, someone asked me to tell them their future, lottery numbers and if they'll be successful in their job.  I can't tell them that because I'm a medium, not a psychic. I talk to the dead, not connect to energy for people's futures.
   Some mediums will tell you that ALL Mediums are psychics. They're not. Not everyone gets both gifts.Here's how it works:

WHAT IS A PSYCHIC? 
Psychics can tell people about their future endeavors because they tune into the energy of people or objects. They connect with their energy and feel a person's past, present and future. Psychics rely on their intuition and ability to get information for the person being read.

WHAT IS A MEDIUM?
Mediums talk to people and pets who passed.  It's NOT the same. Although mediums can get a sense of the energy around a person, whether they have good or bad energy (aura), they can't necessarily read energy into their futures. That's exactly how it is with me:  I can talk with people who passed, but I can't tell you your future.

I can tell you what a person or pet wants you to know about themselves or if they've been protecting, guiding or helping you. I can explain how the person or pet feels on the other side. But I can't tell you what is in store for you. That's a psychic.

I never developed the gift of tuning into a person's future. To me, that's a much different gift. Just as some have the gift to know when someone is going to pass away days before they do. I don't have that gift either (to me, that's unsettling).

So, when you ask a medium to tell you the future, not all of them can - because we're not all psychic and mediums. Sometimes, like me, we are one or the other.

Tarot Tuesday with Joy Andreasen: Wheel of Fortune card

Today's Tarot Tuesday with my friend Joy Andreasen is about the Wheel of Fortune card.

Joy Says:  Big changes are coming, and today you may see evidence of the direction of the change. It is important to remain calm and centered in the face of uncertainty. Don't get blown off course by shifting emotions or blinding fears. Face changes with confidence and clear thinking.
 
THE CARD MEANING (From biddytarot.com)

UPRIGHT: Good luck, karma, life cycles, destiny, a turning point
REVERSED: Bad luck, resistance to change, breaking cycles

Wheel of Fortune Description

The Wheel of Fortune card shows a giant wheel, with three figures on the outer edges. Four Hebrew letters – YHVH (Yod Heh Vau Heh), the unpronounceable name of God – are inscribed on the wheel’s face. There are also the letters TORA, thought to be a version of the word Torah, meaning ‘law’, or TAROT, or even ROTA (Latin for ‘wheel’). The middle wheel has the alchemical symbols for mercury, sulphur, water and salt – the building blocks of life and the four elements – and represents formative power.
On the outer circle is a snake, the Egyptian god Typhon (the god of evil), descending on the left side. The snake also represents the life force plunging into the material world. On the right side rises the Anubis, the Egyptian God of the dead who welcomes souls to the underworld. And on top of the wheel sits the Sphinx, representing knowledge and strength.
In the corners of the Wheel of Fortune card are four winged creatures, each associated with the four fixed signs of the Zodiac: the angel is Aquarius, the eagle is Scorpio, the lion is Leo, and the bull is Taurus. Their wings signify stability amidst movement and change, and each holds the Torah, representing wisdom.

Bristol England Hauntings #10: The Starved Monk of Vassals Park

One of my books is called "Ghosts of England on a Medium's Vacation" and is all about the various ghosts I met when I took 2 vacations in England. Recently, Bristol Live in the UK ran a series about haunted places in Bristol, so on this blog,  you'll read about 1 each week for the next several weeks!      Meanwhile if you want to read about the ghosts I met (Queens, shop owners, members of the royal court, Tavern workers, Shakespeare's sister, and even a dog, check out my book on Amazon.com.  Now, onto the hauntings in Bristol, England:

The starved monk of Vassals Park

Vassels Park

There used to be a building on the land at Vassals Park, and legend has it a Catholic Monk used it as a place to hold mass at a time when it was illegal to do so.

When visitors came to the building, the monk was hidden away in a "priest hole" in the house, so as not to be discovered.

But it is rumoured that he was once left in the priest hole, where he starved to death.

There have been multiple reported sightings of a monk walking through solid objects and there have also been sightings of a hooded figure floating on a footbridge in the park.

 

A Nice Note About my Pets and the Afterlife books

It's always nice to hear a good word from anyone and this note on my facebook page about my Pets and the Afterlife books made my day:

Pam Korzon-Zangardi After reading your book I realized that my cat had reached out to me from the beyond to let me know her sudden illness and subsequent passing was not my fault and she was not mad at me for decisions I made. THANK YOU!

ABOUT Pets and the Afterlife and Pets and the Afterlife 2:

Q&A: Will Spirits Find Me if I Move?

Today's blog is about whether spirits can find us if we relocate or go to a place they don't

Spirits can find you anywhere

know. To understand that you need to know there's a difference between a ghost and and spirit. I explain that in depth in my books "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead." Here's the answer to the question, after a brief refresher:

Ghosts are Earthbound. They are the energy and conciousness of people or animals that decided to stay on earth at a location of their choosing. They cannot move from there unless they accompany a living person out of that enviroment. (there's much more in the books). 

Spirits are those energies of the formerly living that crossed over and joined the energy running through the cosmos. You can think of it as Heaven, Paradise, Valhalla, etc. They can go anywhere at any time. (More info in my books). 

Q: Mom died six weeks ago, and we had her cremated. We have her urn in the living room. We haven't sensed her presence yet, but I'm trying to keep an open mind about it. If she is inclined to visit, but Dad and I move to another house, would she be able to find us if we put the urn in the new house? Or would she only be able to look for us in the house she'd lived in? 

A: Your Mom is a spirit. Her energy is connected to you by the love you share, like an invisible tether. Since spirits (who have crossed over) can go anywhere she will always be able to find you wherever you move.  Spirits can find you anywhere in the world you travel. In 2009, the spirit of my puppy Buzz made himself known to me when I was on vacation in Puerto Rico (see my "Pets and the Afterlife" books).

 Spirits have the ability to go anywhere in the world at any time and can even appear in more than one place at the same time (defying physics!)
 
You can read more about it in my books "Ghosts and Spirits" and "Lessons Learned from Talking to the Dead" available in paperback and E-book on Amazon.com  

IGT Paranormal Investigation in Bldg Rob and Troy Heaviness in Room

Energy is the foundation of the afterlife. In all the talks I give, I explain that the afterlife really has nothing to do with whatever religion you are or are not. It's about Energy. As I also explain in my 4 books, every living thing has physical energies running through their bodies. Think of blood pumping, or the little electrical impulses that happen in our brains when we have thoughts. That's all energy. So, when we die, we become energy. Sometimes that energy stays behind on Earth as a Ghost, Other times it crosses over into the light and we become a spirit. But energy can also be left behind and impressed in walls, on furniture and on objects. Such was the case in this Inspired Ghost Tracking investigation I took part in years ago. The IGT Team was called into to determine the noises and appearances of figures in a building being renovated in Virginia.This is a short video of when I walked into a room, and asked Troy, another medium in the group, what his impressions were.
