I’m a firm believer in LOVE.

I believe that at our core we are loving beings.

I also believe that we can experience all sorts of love while we are on earth. We can have soul mate love with our partner, we can have friendship love, love for our own children and for children generally, love for parents and caregivers, love for strangers, love for animals and just love in general towards life itself and all others. We can love God, our deceased loved ones, ancestors, our spiritual brothers and sisters and angels.

Some of us express our love more than others do, or at least more comfortably.

There’s a wonderful concept that I love called the ‘love tank’. This love tank is inside all of us and also different for each and every one of us. Our love tanks get filled up with love, but they all fill up because of different things that we receive. Some of us might feel loved when we are given gifts, others might feel loved when they receive loving touch such as a massage.

Gary Chapman has a wonderful book called ‘The Five Love Languages’ and it explains how we all fill our love tanks differently and that there are five main ways to express and also feel loved. These include gift giving, spending quality time, positive/kind words of affirmation, acts of service and physical touch. I love to share the wisdom of this book with everyone because it is so practical and can really help us to understand why we aren’t feeling loved, or why our loved ones, despite what we do for them, aren’t feeling that we love them.

I remember reading somewhere that Gary was working in relationship counselling for something like over 30 years when he realised couples would come in and say they loved each other but the partner would say they couldn’t tell that their loved one actually loved them! He realised they had a different love language.

A friend gave us this book over eleven years ago. He said that if someone had have given him this book in time he could have saved his marriage. He loved his wife and worked hard for her, but in doing so he wasn’t physically around as much. His best friend, who was unemployed at the time, was around though. It’s a sad story, but one we can all learn from.

I love my husband and he loves me, but luckily I think this book came at a crucial time for us. We were living and working together at the time and I felt somewhat unloved. When we received this book I saw that my beloved was constantly doing acts of service for me, washing up, cleaning, doing chores, taking our small daughter at the time to give me breaks and time to write, etc. But what I wanted was physical touch such as hugs and massage and more quality time together like going for bush walks and watching good movies. My hubby on the other hand really needed to be praised and have positive words of affirmation so that he felt loved and safe and happy.

Wow!

What an amazing epiphany it was for us to understand each other’s ‘love tank filling’ differences! We can have all the five love languages in differing degrees, but generally one or two will be most important to us to feel loved.

The reason I share this with you is because one of the biggest stumbling blocks in this world is our relationships. They can make us or break us. They can really hurt us, wound us or change us.

But relationships can also lift us to the highest places that we can possibly go. Support and love help us to reach seemingly impossibly heights and keep us going forward too!

When we are in beautiful, loving relationships our vibe, our aura, our thoughts, are much clearer. We can hear the voice of spirit so much more clearly also.

We can truly feel the love on earth and in the heavens when we feel loved and safe and seen.

This love is our birthright. 

No one deserves more love than anyone else. Love is always there, so close, ready to be received, absorbed, radiated out, given, perceived, and very much needed by us all. It helps us grow and survive and thrive. It helps us be healthy, powerful and strong in the physical world.

Love can transform us into the beings that we dream of being – it can inspire us to be the best that we can possibly be.

For me, love goes hand in hand with being a good psychic medium. It is with great love that I do readings and it is with great love for our spirit family that I walk in love on this earth.

I feel at our core that we are loving spiritual beings.

I don’t mean to say this is an airy fairy thing and not tangible. It is very tangible. Several times spirits have taken me to the other side and shown me the love that is all encompassing. It’s almost too much for us, as humans, to comprehend or receive. We can only get a fraction of what is really there just waiting for us to grasp.

My grandmother showed me this love, in a powerful dream, after she passed over to the other side. Many years before this dream, I was in hospital and a man appeared that I can only say was my guardian angel. He revealed to me an incredible, indescribable amount of love and he showed me that I would one day write books that would help people and also help the world change for the better. I was 13 at the time, so I dreamed for many years of the books I would write!

I have just published my first book, ‘Memoir of a Psychic: Trust Your Intuition & Thrive’ which I am so proud of and which exudes love!

It includes a life-time of powerful experiences that show without a doubt we are loved and seen by those in the spiritual world. We are intimately connected with them. They want us to know that we are all one. We may not remember this, because we didn’t want to – we wanted to come here to learn and grow and find ourselves.

One day we will become spirit again. We will ultimately return to the place of love from which we came, that place where we were before we were born into this particular incarnation. This sort of scares us sometimes, because we are very human and very attached to this life, as the wise Buddhists teach us.

They also teach us that our thoughts are paramount to our experience here and that at any time we can take control of our thoughts and thus our lives.

We can choose at any time to be the best version of the loving being that we can possibly be. It means stopping those other thoughts that are just brain neurons firing and bad thought habits.

Being the best loving beings we can be while human, means creating new beautiful, loving thoughts, feelings and positive, kind habits. We can all do this, at any time we like, no one can do it for us, and we certainly don’t need trauma to help us change for the better.

It doesn’t mean we are soft, pappy, push overs who don’t speak up for ourselves or others. It means that we come from a place of love, so any necessary criticism towards others takes the form of constructive advice, appropriate assertive communication, positive regard and respect for all others and a desire and a choice to connect deeply and authentically with others. We want to serve others, provide support and help, and help them be the best they can be.

If there’s one thing I know as a psychic medium it’s that those who pass on tell us that they love us and they want the best for us.

So while we are here incarnate we can appreciate, have gratitude, express and receive love and know that when we transition over we have done the best we can. It will make our transition home to spirit so much easier, clearer and smooth. We won’t have to waste time in a spiritual life review going over how we have lived an unconscious and negative life full of wasteful, boring, disagreeable thoughts and unkind behaviours.

We know that we have always been love, we can choose to remember this fact and this above all things is what they, our spirit family want for us here, and beyond.

To embrace LOVE, exude LOVE, be LOVE. 

Blessings,
