Hello, you are awake, What next?

Straight out of the meditation I saw the table in the middle of the room shaking and I had the feeling that the table just wanted to take-off, as in lift straight up and levitate. It didn't. But, this being my first experience ever with meditation, I really had no idea what to expect. The group I was with was used to "table-tipping". Not me. The problem with this table was that it was round and on three legs and too stable for table tipping in any one direction. An important first lesson for me.

While Carrie was out of the room grabbing the smaller four legged table I started to have the "impression" of wood, water and black chains. Old weathered wood, like that on a ship, and tons and tons of water... I kept thinking inundation, water washing over the wood, like the wood was sinking in and out of the water. I said this out loud to the group, just as Carrie came back with the little table. Another psychic in the room said she also felt it, it was a ship, and then it was more clear to me, yes, that's what it was. But I also felt slavery, bondage, very hard labor, like this person was a slave on a ship. What was I seeing? (The impression was very clear in my mind, this is known as "claircognizance".) We started to ask the spirit questions. Was it recently dead, tip the table once for "yes" and twice for "no". There was no response. Carrie offered to help the two women at the table, who said the table was shaking. She joined them, and I had a feeling that I should be at the table too, and one of the other women said, looking straight at me, "She should be at the table". I had to agree and I joined them.

What do you do at the table? Well, you place your hands lightly on the top and try to encourage the spirit to respond, concentrating on the table, the grain of the table, nothing but the question, the spirit and the table. In the candlelight, in that room, I saw the illusion of the hands on the table being merged with the table, like the fingers were roots planted into the wood. It was a strange, but consistent illusion, and as the table rocked, the hands wove in and out of the wood. Once I arrived at the table I could feel how violently it was shaking, but it still didn't have enough energy to tip. We changed that. We asked if the spirit had been dead 500 years, (one for yes, two for no). The table tipped twice to my right. Just slight lifting the left legs off the floor up/down/up/down.

If I didn't have my hands on the table, I wouldn't believe it, even in the same room, without my hands on that table, I wouldn't believe it. So I don't expect anyone reading this blog to believe me. We started asking more questions and the table tipped in response, we finally had it working. All the while we are doing this my neck/back injury was killing me. I had to assume it was how I was leaned over this little table, until everyone in the region of the table was complaining of back pain. We asked our spirit if he suffered from a back injury. The "yes" was a resounding tipping over of the table into the lap of the person on my right. We thought this spirit was here for the person on my right (Judy) and we asked, but got two quick tips - a "no". Then Carrie asked the spirit to tip the table in the direction of the person it was here for. The table tipped onto the lap of the person on my left (Angela), but we all knew it was for the woman behind her (Bebe). Angela said she felt like the table was being pulled through her. We also determined that this man was of Nordic descent and a laborer on a ship, who died on the ship.

It was an interesting evening, that continued for two hours on that path. My first ever medium-ship group was a huge success.

So, now let me back up a few weeks and explain how I got here. I went to see a psychic friend of mine (Carrie) because she had done a reading for me in mid 2007 that I thought was an unlikely scenario. She suggested a business partner that would be the farthest from my imagination at that time. True it was someone we both knew, but no-way was that ever going to happen. And then in Dec. the impossible became a possibility. I had to go back to find out more. Should I pursue the venture? How did she know this? etc...

Leading up to this visit, from mid November 2007 I started to have visions of myself with a pure white light emanating from the center of me. This vision showed me as a radiant being, so bright that my physical body was completely cast in shadow. When I had this vision of myself I was completely at peace and felt whole. There is no way to describe this except that it felt "true". I had this vision for a few days and then it went away, I assume due the chaos that surrounds the holidays at my home. I wanted it back and sought this feeling. I knew it had to do with me being centered and I knew what I did to evoke it. I had thrown myself, completely and totally, into a project that I knew would bring pure joy to the individual that was going to receive it. This was not something that could be purchased. It was something that had to be arranged, and I was the only one who could do it. This gave me my bliss.

This blog is about my pursuit to reach the person within. The person I know to be psychic/spiritual and the path that will lead me there. I don't know where this journey will take me, but I can tell you in the weeks that I have spent pursuing it, I have had nothing but fun, laughter and adventure. If at the end of this journey that is all I have from the trip, it will be time well spent.
