We had my cousin come, who I do not get to see, and due to her life difficulties in the past, its really a blessing that she is here and not crossed over herself. My mother always had a soft spot for her. The first time seeing her again would have been 5 years ago after she had cleaned up her life. Let’s say that day had my mom an emotional mess, and last night gave her husband the same reaction. Knowing how much my mom would have enjoyed last night.

Well, last night I had a dream. (what else is new right?). In this dream, I knew that my mom was gone, but for some reason, I had remembered that she came back. I was then mad that she did not show up for the dinner. I had called her a few times on her phone but she did not even answer. I was MAD. I ended up driving over to her house and knocked on the door. She answered. Although she was shorter than I remembered, and she had a swollen bottom lip (no idea why?) it was still very much my mom. Her voice was the same, her hair, and the way she dressed.. all the same. It was my mom. I gave her a hug and instantly was crying. Asking why she did not come to the dinner we just had.  I am not sure that she did give me a reason, but was visibly upset.

The rest of the dream I am sure does not really matter, but what does, is a confirmation again that our loved ones are not “dead” but merely crossed over. I have had MULTIPLE dreams now where my mom has shown that she’s “back”. I really believe that we need to realize that our loved ones are only a thought away. They are with us, watching our lives and doing what they can to help us.  Dreams are the easiest way for them to communicate with us. I think that how busy we are from day to day life, that we sometimes miss or write off the signs that we see.

From using dreammoods.com here is the interpretation of the major factors in the dream

Lips 
 Lips are a means of communication as reflected in the familiar phrase “read my lips”.

Cell Phone 
To see or use a cell phone in your dream indicates that you are being receptive to new information. It also represents your mobility. Alternatively, the dream signifies lack of understanding. Perhaps you are having difficulties getting through to someone.

So as you can see, both of these parts of the dream, both signal to me, that I too am not hearing/seeing what my mother has been trying to get through to me. I think now is the time I will really listen!

I was still excited. Tania, from Eternity Readings and her friend Jenny both had to go to the washroom and I headed in. The seating was filling up fast. Based on the dream I had, we had been sitting on the left side of the room, so I decided it was best to stick with that. Sat down beside an older woman named Kathy who apparently has attended many lectures and was there that day to see Doreen and had no clue as to who John Holland was. She really felt that he was more of an “opening act”.

John Holland has amazing energy! Is always upbeat, friendly and hilarious! This is a great way to get the energy up in the room and help spirit to manifest. I really believe this as not only did he mention that, but James Van Praagh does the same thing during his lectures too!, The more happy everyone is, the more energy present the more the readings can come through!.

We were about halfway through his lecture, and he was doing readings, and made the person with the microphone stop right beside Kathy who was on my right. He knew right away that he was going to be in that general area with the reading that came next. He started to mention sign language, and Tania knew it was her sister. He picked up the fact that they were twins, but not alike (her sister had Down Syndrome) and that she loved to paint. He even mentioned that he saw a baby wrapped in blue, to which Tania admitted she was currently trying to conceive. Lets just say, that it was a very emotional night for Tania, as well as for myself and Jenny. Although I never met her sister Dina, the emotion coming through Tania, and what was in the room was just flooring.

John mentioned that he could connect with anyone who has passed, no matter how long they had been gone for, or at what age they had passed. This brought me comfort. Even though my mother did not come through at this time, I was not sad for me. I was content at having gone, and excited for Tania.

We had a 2 hour intermission (or was it an hour and a half?) where they allowed us to go and eat. I had left my jacket on my seat, and found it a bit cold outside. Having had a subway sandwich while we sat and chatted. Going over everything that he said to her moments before.

After lunch break was over, we headed back in to finish the lecture with Doreen Virtue. This was the first lecture I had been to either one of them, so my expectations of what to expect was low.

Doreen came on the stage in a more somber expression, more relaxed and low tone than how John showed up. She went through a meditation that seem to be scattered rather than something that was focused and to bring you peace. This is probably at the same point that I started to see shadows around people. While watching Doreen, behind her was a shadow, but while you tried to focus on the shadow it moved. I tried looking around the room and you would see a shadow around other people, but when you paid attention and looked harder, trying to really understand what you were seeing it would disappear. I have never had that happen before, but one of John’s messages is to never second guess or rule out what your seeing. Too many people unaware of their gifts potential second guess the images and words they are given and assume its something more “logical”.

I think that the overall impression of Doreen was that she was too mellow. People seemed to be not as “energetic” with her.. a more sobering experience. She decided to start right away into medium ship readings and I think that this is where things turned ugly. I know that no psychic is 100% accurate. Tonight was an off night for Doreen. The readings that she did, seemed to be 50/50 for her. Halfway through the event, people started to leave, head to the bathroom and not come back.

Kathy, the woman beside me, who was eager to see Doreen, was one of those people. It was disappointing. I think that where she really lost me, was her comment that she’s been on UFO’s more than once, and some comment about unicorns. Although I believe in aliens, I am still unsure what to make of “abductions” or even “visits” on a UFO.

I took a small break to go to the bathroom as unfortunately Doreen’s part of the lecture was dragging on. Although both her and John Holland had 2 hours to speak, hers seemed to be 4 (or felt like that).

In the Washroom was another person attending the lecture. She took confided in me the disappointment in Doreen. Explaining how she came there to see her and did not even know who John Holland was, and yet at that point was more impressed with John.

At the end of the event, we headed over for a book signing. I had purchased his Oracle Tarot Deck to which he signed. I asked him to come visit and do a lecture in Vancouver/Canada. He told me he needed to be invited first. I told him I just invited him! He had a chuckle, and his assistant mentioned that he needs 500 people in order to do the lecture, so I invited him to my house instead! He jokingly said that I would keep him in the closet and then pull him out when I needed a reading! He has a wicked sense of humor!

So, what did I take out of this event? Aside from knowing that no psychic is 100% even well known ones, and that according to John and Doreen both, we are all alike. All of us are psychic and vibrate at different levels. That there are others that are more in tuned and in practice to their gifts, than others, but in the end, we are all the same and all have the same abilities. Its a matter of waking those up and realizing your full potential.

Both John and Doreen mentioned that your spirit guides will utilize the information that you already know. So if your just starting out, its obviously about interpretation. Your guides will give you visions, ideas and feelings that will connect to the knowledge already in your brain. Its just up to you to translate what your seeing in order for it to make sense. I think that this too is why not all psychics see the same thing. It boils down to life experience and the interpretation of what you have been shown.

For example, lets say that I predicted that your child would be a orthodontist, but perhaps he would be an ortho surgeon. If I never heard of an ortho Surgeon before then my guides would provide me the next closest interpretation.

All in all, this was an event that I am happy that I went to, and would gladly go again.

Its not until recently that my guides have given me a clearer picture of how to really understand this, enough that I would be able to pass this information onto you so that you better understand.

Its about our own life lessons. For example, I have been finding pennies EVERYWHERE. Not just me, but my two daughters as well. Yes, pennies are annoying and people usually do not care about them, and you might find one or two…. but I have been finding TONS. Sometimes 5+ a day which is unusual for me. So you take a look at the interpretation. To me, pennies go with the saying “pennies from heaven” which interpreted would be a sign from a loved one trying to shower you with gifts and getting your attention. In this case, pennies.

So if that is my interpretation then why would it not be the same across the board? Well like I said, life lessons.. what if growing up your family was poor… and you guys were always “pinching pennies”. So what if every time you had seen a penny on the ground, this is what you were reminded of? Thus, your interptretation would be about “pinching pennies” and not like mine “pennies from heaven”.

So it boils down to life lessons and interpretation. There are other factors involved here of course, but its about learning your own interpretation for what you see, in order to better accurately interpret for your client.

Would love to have your questions/feedback in regards to this!

I always use www.dreammoods.com to help me with my dream interpretation. I try and not take dreams 100% seriously as sometimes there is misinterpretation and then you end up having a completely off meaning! For example, I once dreamed I was driving my husbands truck, and had to go through the mountains. It would take three days to get there. Halfway through, I noticed that the gas tank was low, and that I needed to decide right then and there what to do. In my dream I did not have enough gas to get through to the other side, and decided to turn around and head back (which is funny as I was halfway through! You would think if I had enough gas to go back I would have enough gas to finish!). Anyways, I ended turning around and heading back and making it to the train station. There, was a leprechaun and he was trying to steal my wallet! I was furious, I kept kicking at him, and getting mad, telling him to leave me alone etc. That morning I interpreted my dream to mean that I only had 3 days left to live (trust me I was so freaked out!)

I had a dear friend named Diane, that I told my dream too and explained my interpretation and she actually pointed out that the dream reflected my fear of not having enough money for my sisters wedding in THREE months!

So when interpreting your own dreams, try and take it with a grain of salt, give it time to sink in and make sure that you have the proper interpretation especially if its something that is freaking you out!

Now in regards to my dream last night, I actually dreamed that I was at work (I do bookkeeping for another company) and apparently I was in their office. We were all chatting and I was working away. The part of the dream that really sticks out, is I was talking with the other employee there and was mentioning that the boss would have another baby. In my dream I actually predicted another baby girl and related her to APRIL. The funny thing is, that in this dream, the boss had fallen asleep at his desk, and in his sleep shouted out about something about his baby girl and wanting to keep her. I know he has a little girl right now, but I just felt that there is going to be another little girl and not too far away! (Not sure if its this april or next!) I will have to wait and see how that plays out!

So, if you had a dream about someone similar to that, where you had seen information, would you tell them? Or just keep it to yourself and see how it plays out??

Not all of my dreams as you can see are 100% accurate, but dreams are important sometimes and help provide insight into our lives.

For example, another dream I had over 9 years ago, was that an old family friend was inventing colored condoms in the attic of her house. She was testing them on this machine up there while I watched. Even explaining that she was testing out flavored ones (trust me, this is NOT her job!) In the morning after this dream, I called my mom. Told her that she needed to call her friend Laurel (the mother of the girl in the dream) as I just felt that she needed to contact her. She called me back 1 hour later to tell me that Laurel had tried to call her the night before and because my mom had a new number was unable to reach her. Turns out that her daughter was pregnant and wanted to tell my mom. Had I not had that dream and told my mom to give her a call, this might have been a lost connection. Her daughter and I were able to rekindle our friendship (we had kinda lost touch over the years) and now proudly consider her my best friend. Our daughters (as we were 3 months apart with our pregnancies) are now best friends!

Would love to hear your thoughts, or even dreams you had that you either told someone and it came true, or kept it to yourself and it came true later!

He came into the room and started with telling us about his own gifts and experiences, and walking us through a guided meditation. It was different than the last one he did at his previous event, and kinda wish that he would have just done the same one but still very pleasant experinece.

I think that Tania was a bit overwhelmed with all of the energy that she was feeling, I thinking having sensory overload with everything she was hearing (from spirits) and what she was seeing in regards to James guides in the room..etc. I think i am lucky that way in not seeing people with my own two eyes by rather in my mind as the only issue I faced, was a pressure in my ears (still not sure why) and a whistling/ringing sound in my ear at one point that seems only Tania and I could hear.

James, came on the stage at around 7pm, and then after a few minutes of talking about his own gifts, and a few odds and ends, he started in on the readings. Its so hard to not tear up for the people who are having a loved one come through. A younger girl (probably in her early 20s!) lost a friend, her father and a few other family members, and the names that James was giving her, the situations he provided were all accurate. Her mother too was able to confirm the things he was saying. Both mother and daughter were crying at this point. I had tears in my eyes and was really happy for them.

Another mom had her father come through at first, and she seemed hesitant at first to accept the reading. It was then that James brought through her daughter. Insisting that they had a picture of her daughter on the fridge, only to have her keep insisting that she did not. After telling her about this garden and area outside, that James said would be for the girl who had passed, they did confirm all of this. The reading was great, and brought forth alot of information to which they both agreed with what James had said. As they got towards the end of the information James again went back to the fridge insisting it was a fridge that they would open both doors. The mother said that they had only a one door fridge, then it dawned on her that the fridge in their garage has a two door fridge and that there is probably a picture of her daughter on that one. James parting comment to the mother, was that her daughter was now in the place where rainbows were made. It was that comment that really resonated so much stronger with this mother that she started to cry a bit more.

Even though myself, Tania, my sister and my friend did not recieve a reading from James, you still can’t help but be happy for the people who did. To still feel the moment with them, and get a bit teary eyed yourself.

The book signing was after the event, which is the first time that I have been able to get a book signed, as the last event he did not do that (with there being twice as many people I can understand why). I actually was first in line! Whoo hoo!! The coordinator said he would take our picture, but obviously you can tell from my facebook page post, that the picture was not clear at all! I guess I will take what I can get!

Would I suggest you go and see James Van Praagh yourself? Yes! I definately think that you need to go and see him at least once in your life! I really enjoyed myself the first time, enjoyed myself the second time…. would I go again? Yes… I do think I would!

First off all, there is NOT SUCH THING AS A CURSE! If someone has told you that they put a curse on your house, family, friend…etc.. the only weight the “curse” would have is whatever attention you give it! It does not exist!

I had this following email from a client of mine along with my reply below.

Hello Cheri,

how are you? I have received a conception reading from you a while ago. It predicted March which I am vety happy for.At the same time it makes litlle bit worried, because it can be another miscarriage. I have also got in touch with a natural healer who told me that the reason for my miscarriages is in the energy of my current child, apparently my childs energy doesnt allow anyone else to enter…the spirit feels there is no room for anyone else and leaves ( thats why early miscarriage). she suggested it is something betweeen them which comes from past life and I need to clear up the energy between them. she offers her help…but i just wanted to know your opinion???

thank you very much for your help and precious time

My Reply

If I told you that there was a bad curse on your house and that you needed to pay me 1000.00 to remove it.. would you? that’s just the thing veronika, that this woman is playing on your worse fears, by offering to help you solve this problem for money right?? (there is no such thing as a curse either! just an FYI)

 The thing is, when someone experiences a miscarriage, it has nothing to do with the children trying to fight over who comes first. it does NOT work like that!!! A miscarriage happens for a few reasons, scientifically, its because the baby did not develop properly. Usually the genetics determine everything but if your working on a puzzle and you don’t put it together right, then you start again right?

 In a spiritual way, the reason for a miscarriage, before we come here, we write up a blue print of our lives. it shows the path that we will take, the lessons we plan to learn and the people we will meet during our life time. Sometimes we realize that they we need to make a change, and we go back.. thus a loss.. sometimes this means that the child that would have been second now comes first, and sometimes the first child still decides to come first. its subtle changes that happen and never anything “evil” or bad from one soul to the other…especially not from the other side. Everyone at home is at peace with their journey, whether they just got home, or they are on their way again. Please do not pay any money to this person to have her “help”. The only help she would be doing is “helping” herself into your wallet!

I did remove her name as per her request, but she agreed to allow me to share this email with you. I just wanted to point out that there are people out there that are willing to pray on your worse fears! If you are worried about something, ask someone else for advice! I am always here if you have a question like this, or similar!

Has anyone else had this happen to them?

So what makes it easier for you? To read the posts/updates on facebook, or the blog? (or both). I just want to make this as easy as possible:)

Hello there everyone!  I know I have been away for a long time.  I did get so overwelmed with readings, especially free ones, that I did not have time to post on here.  Also a lot of you may remember my health issues.  I had a total shoulder replacement on 11/9/11.  It was and is not fun.  I had to delay readings including free ones for about 2 weeks.  I am not scheduling into mid December, but if I can shuffle my cards, I will begin resuming readings next week, slowly that is.  I have talked with Cheri a lot the past few months and we are really excited about doing some classes soon, probably into new year?  Not sure yet.  I have had about a dozen confirmed bfp’s in the last 2 weeks.  It makes me so happy to read those emails. My website will be going under construction soon, so Fall Specials will end as of Nov. 30th.  I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving if you celebrate. See you soon.    xoxo

SUZANNE

We have the power to manifest our desires. I have given you plenty of examples that will teach you how to open yourself up to receiving what you want most!

The power is within yourself!

If you wanted a new job, why not start telling yourself that you will have a new job and that the opportunity is going to come to you in a dream? Or that you will find the listing online… did you know that whenever I applied for a job and went to the interview that I would call my mom and say “I want this job I want this job I want this job”, and I have been offered the job. (I did this twice and got the job both times!) I have a client that I have been working with in order to help her get over her negative way of thinking. I MADE her email me during the stressful time of interviews and the wait and told her to change her way of thinking. Normally her instinct is to assume that someone else would get the job and that it was not going to be hers….. I kept telling her that negative thinking pushes opportunity away. I wanted her to email me and tell me that this job was hers. Tell me that they would be telling the job was hers and allow herself to feel excited about this. She got the job (This was also predicted for her for the month of October which is when she got the job).

Its hard to change your way of thinking. I have been told that that it takes 21 days to form any new habits so perhaps its time to get started! Believe that anything is possible and you can direct good things into your life. Believe that you have the power to change it because you do! You don’t need a spell.

Sometimes the reason things in our life that are blocked are because of ourselves or a life lesson at work. Its up to you to determine which is standing in your way. Stress is never a good thing and its about learning meditation to let it go.

I guess it really troubles me that someone would “cast a spell” to help with certain aspects of your life. I do believe that most peoples intentions are pure in helping you, but I really believe that you can help yourself. There are some people out there right now (I wont name names) that are offering spells as a way to generate more money from people who are looking for help. Please please please, realize that you have the power to do this yourself!

I am even going to print of some of the information for me too!

If you have any tips or tricks that worked for you, I would love to hear it! Please share it on the blog in the comments section. We all know that trying to conceive can be a stressful journey, but we also have to realize that we are NOT on this journey alone. We as women have all “been there done that” so lets share what we know!

Here is the information I located, and also a link back to the site for more information!
