We Are All Connected

The veil between this world and the next is very thin. As a medium, I have the ability to see
beyond that veil and communicate with the Spirit World. I treat it with the utmost respect and
never abuse the privilege that’s afforded to me.

As I raise my own vibrations to make a connection, I always stop and honor their presence as I
blend with their energy. I get to see and feel a soul in its entirety, youthful, beaming, and luminous
even if it’s for the briefest of moments. I celebrate their joys and their sadness, as well as their
love. I am truly blessed to do this work, but I’ve never considered it as a job. The people who
receive a message through me from loved ones on the Other-Side often tell me what a beautiful
gift they’ve just received, but in reality I’m the one who’s received the ultimate gift. It’s a chance
for me to honor my soul purpose of being all that I can be as a spirit messenger to help others in
their time of need.

Communication and closeness with departed loved ones is also possible without sitting with a
medium. So many people come to see me and express how much they’d love to connect with the
Other-Side for themselves, rather than receiving the information secondhand.

To experience your own communication firsthand, it’s important to become aware. For example,
the next time you’re thinking of someone who’s passed over, it could be because at that exact
moment, they’re lovingly thinking of you too. Be aware of each time you think of them and keep
an open mind. As always, I urge you at the start to keep a record of your experiences in your
journal.

A beautiful story of this child’s belief in the power of thought illustrates my point perfectly. It
revolves around a little girl named Daisy who passed to spirit at the very young age of ten.
During her last days, Daisy looked up and told her mother that she was communicating with her
little brother who had passed years earlier. In fact, Daisy told her mother that the little boy was
standing right beside her and the two were having quite a lively conversation.
“How do you speak to your little brother? I don’t hear or see you moving your lips,” asked the
bewildered mother.

The grinning little girl answered: “We talk with our think.”

Also there are ADC’s (After Death Communications), which happen frequently, even though you
may be unaware of them. ADC’s are signs from those on the Other-Side. They can visit you in a
dream, play with electricity by dimming lights, turn off televisions, stereos, cell phones, etc. Since
they are energy it is easy for them to work with electrical energy. They often leave feathers, shiny
pennies, and dimes.

Nature is a wonderful tool that Spirit uses too. Butterflies, hummingbirds, ladybugs, birds, you
name it – when they want to get a message to you. They’ll do anything to get your attention to
say:” I am here, I love you and I am safe.”

We just have to be more aware of the signs and synchronistic events they put before us.
Trust me when I say: “They want to talk to you – as much as you want to talk to them.”

JOHN’S LESSON

Is someone trying to get your attention from the Other-Side? Would you like to get a sign
yourself? If so, then simply ask for one. Reach out with your thoughts and love to the person you
would like a sign from.

Firstly, the most obvious way they’ll communicate is through your dreams, so watch and record
your dreams, and notice if there are symbols that keep showing up in front of you. Are there other
ADC’s happening around you? By acknowledging them, you’re actually letting them know on the
Other-Side that you’re receiving what they’re trying to send you.

Also remember, they take their cues from you. If you’re emotional or still going through a
bereavement, then it’s more than likely that they’ll wait to send you a sign, knowing that it might
upset you at this sensitive time. Equally, they might go to a friend, or another relative to give you
a message.

Be open to any sign that they may send. If you do in fact get an ADC and you’re not sure who’s
sending it, then ask: “If this is you Mom, then send me another one of the same signs.”

Just remember – love is everlasting, and neither death, nor time, or even distance can ever
separate us from the ones we love.

We are and always will be connected.

HEAVEN’S CALLING CARDS

When you become known for a familiar saying, it’s almost like a trademark. I guess mine has to
be: “Those on the Other-Side want to talk to you as much as you want to talk to them!” Spirits
have a multitude of ways they use to get your attention, but for many people, these little signs
often go unrecognized. Whether you’ve wrapped yourself in a protective shield due to a recent
loss, or you’re totally immersed in the business of work and life, it’s easy to simply miss those
little signs and symbols that they’re trying to send you.

Of all the things I do, I love teaching my psychic development workshops. I get to watch people
at the start of the weekend in a state of complete unawareness transform over the two days, and
develop a whole new consciousness. I see them forge new connections, not only with themselves
(and their class mates), but with their loved ones on the Other-Side. There are many different
types of messages, signs, and symbols (which come in come in all shapes and sizes), which our
loved ones use to tell us that they not only love us, but that they’re still connected to us. They
can easily be missed in the wink of an eye. Another one of my popular sayings that I often use is:
“Neither time nor death can ever separate us—love is truly everlasting.”

Let’s be clear about what exactly these signs and symbols are known as. They’re called ADC’s
(After Death Communications). These ADC’s come in many forms and it’s important to stress

here, that they’re not facilitated through a psychic or a medium, or using a tool of any kind. These
are spiritual experiences, which just happen spontaneously and are usually quite personal.

I believe that when a loved one passes on, and enough time passes for them to settle, that they’ll
often do everything in their power to get your attention. When they do send a sign, what are they
trying to tell us? Simply that their spirit continues to exist, and that they love us and want us to
continue to live our lives to the fullest.

When someone passes and leaves this world, the usual forms of communication get interrupted
for a time, until a new form of communication is established. Of course, there’s often a learning
period of how it all works. There are so many different ways that those on the Other-Side will try
to communicate to get your attention.

In my latest book The Spirit Whisperer – Chronicles Of A Medium, I list many signs and symbols
that those on the Other-Side send to us. Beside dreams and smells, which are probably two of
the most common that I hear about, there are other ways and means they’ll use to send you
signs, symbols, or even a full message. It could be as simple as a touch on the shoulder, a kiss
on the cheek, or a tousle of your hair, a tingle up your spine, a sudden scent of a certain cologne
or flower, finding shiny pennies, synchronistic events, even flickering lights!

When they really want to get your attention, they’re going to do whatever they can to get your
attention, so you’re aware of them and acknowledge that they’re still connected to you and that
they’ll always love you!

JOHN’S LESSON

If you want to strengthen the connection with a loved one, and become more aware, I find it best
to get away from the outside world and spend some quiet time with yourself. I find it helpful to put
out the happiest pictures of your loved ones in front of you. Notice that shining light in their eyes,
the smile on their face, how healthy and happy they look, for in reality that is how they truly are
now.

When you feel you’re really open and ready to receive a sign, put a loving thought out to them.
Ask them to show you a sign – one that you’ll know is from them. Please keep an open mind, so
you don’t have set expectations of what you want it to be. It may be the same sign over and over,
or it could be different every time. Trust me, they’ll know when you’re ready and how best to get
your attention.

No matter what ADC you may receive, they’re always meant to be loving, joyful, and a positive
experience, ones that give hope and comfort, and are usually received exactly when you need it.
They shouldn’t be scary, frightening, or cause you grief.

Be thankful for them, cherish them, and hold them close to your heart, for they truly are calling
cards from heaven.
