Welcome to spirit therapy.
Hello and welcome to this first episode of spirit therapy.
I'm so grateful you're here. 14 00:01:05,639.999 --> 00:01:06,819.999 My name is Kimberly Lakin.
I'd like to take this first podcast episode to introduce myself, tell you a little bit about my history, what I offer and my intentions for this podcast.
(01:19):
Mediumship is my passion.
.999I love.
Connecting with the world of spirit.
And I love serving the world of spirit and helping people through the power of mediumship.
I really believe that mediumship is healing and that we can all benefit from it.
I believe that all humans have the power and the ability to develop mediumistic abilities.
(01:41):
If it's something you're interested in, I'm going to be sharing about that on this podcast.
I have been a medium my whole life.
It started when I was a really small child.
From what I remember, I could hear the spirit people when I was falling asleep, which really, really scared me.
As you can imagine.
If you're a medium, maybe you've experienced this too.
(02:03):
Well, what I did was I would go to bed every night with the radio on.
But that only helped so much.
I also experienced vivid and prophetic dreams.
seeing energy around people, knowing things about people, and just being extremely sensitive my whole life.
.001So I tried to dial down this knob sensitivity took it matters into my own hands and turned to drugs and alcohol, which as you can imagine didn't work, didn't help. 33 00:02:30,790.001 --> 00:02:33,120.001 I still had those spiritual experiences. 34 00:02:33,160.001 --> 00:02:34,400.001 I was still scared about it. 35 00:02:34,770.001 --> 00:02:39,670.001 But I also always had a very, very close connection with my spirituality and my higher power.
(02:40):
.001And that's something that really helped me through, through my childhood and, and through those years. 37 00:02:45,560.001 --> 00:02:51,300.001 So, I am very grateful that I hit my bottom in addiction very quickly in life. 38 00:02:52,70.001 --> 00:02:54,850.001 It was Very bad and very fast. 39 00:02:54,860.001 --> 00:03:02,170.001 So I packed a lot into about a decade or so of using and drinking and got sober at the age of 24. 40 00:03:02,470.001 --> 00:03:03,070 Thank God. 41 00:03:03,300.001 --> 00:03:05,230.001 My 2010. 42 00:03:05,240.001 --> 00:03:07,690.001 So I just recently celebrated 13 years. 43 00:03:07,690.001 --> 00:03:11,400.001 Sobriety was the beginning of my spiritual and healing journey. 44 00:03:11,810.001 --> 00:03:16,350.001 And through sobriety, I was able to connect back in with my mediumship. 45 00:03:16,985.001 --> 00:03:20,795.001 in a way that I realized it's healing potential. 46 00:03:20,825.001 --> 00:03:33,25.002 And a few years into my sobriety after some not so pleasant experiences, you could say, catapulted me back onto that spiritual path. 47 00:03:33,105.002 --> 00:03:37,465.002 And I was committed to developing mediumship and serving. 48 00:03:38,125.002 --> 00:03:41,615.002 I knew that it was my life path and I was ready. 49 00:03:41,615.002 --> 00:03:43,175.002 To commit to it at that point. 50 00:03:43,185.002 --> 00:03:50,975.001 So the next 10 years were a journey of me finding myself and healing, developing mediumship with various mentors. 51 00:03:51,995.002 --> 00:04:05,635.002 The first few years of my development, I developed on my own, which I'm very grateful for because it allowed me to develop my own language with the spirit world, really nurture my own unique connection with them without Other people telling you what to do, basically. 52 00:04:06,635.002 --> 00:04:14,805.002 So when I mentor other mediums, I really like to bring that out because I believe we each have our own unique connection, which is very important. 53 00:04:15,155.002 --> 00:04:19,105.002 We're not meant to all approach mediumship the same exact way. 54 00:04:19,215.004 --> 00:04:33,0.003 I've gathered a plethora of tools over the years from working with my own spirit team and also mentoring under world renowned mediums such as Mavis Patella, Annie G, Kay Reynolds and Danielle Serank to name a few. 55 00:04:33,0.003 --> 00:04:35,730.003 I will always be developing mediumship as a lifelong unfoldment. 56 00:04:35,740.003 --> 00:04:37,20.003 We're never fully developed. 57 00:04:37,260.003 --> 00:04:39,410.003 Every medium is always going to be still developing. 58 00:04:39,420.003 --> 00:04:41,560.002 There's always room to grow and more to learn. 59 00:04:43,260.003 --> 00:04:48,200.003 I also want to highlight just sharing my experience and what I've learned along the way from others. 60 00:04:48,610.003 --> 00:04:54,75.003 And if anything doesn't resonate, you know, listen to your intuition and your Truth. 61 00:04:54,745.003 --> 00:04:55,915.003 Listen to your own gut. 62 00:04:56,275.003 --> 00:04:58,635.003 And some things I say may resonate and some things may not. 63 00:04:59,5.003 --> 00:05:01,735.003 And we're all on our own quest, I believe, to find our own truth. 64 00:05:01,755.003 --> 00:05:04,855.003 And I want you to listen to what's true for you. 65 00:05:05,355.003 --> 00:05:08,575.003 So, if ever I say anything that you don't agree with, let it go. 66 00:05:08,675.003 --> 00:05:10,105.003 Take what resonates and leave the rest. 67 00:05:11,665.003 --> 00:05:12,885.003 I'm only one person. 68 00:05:12,885.003 --> 00:05:16,875.003 I'm sharing my perspective from I'm a Jewish witch. 69 00:05:17,525.003 --> 00:05:18,575.003 I'm bisexual. 70 00:05:18,575.003 --> 00:05:20,325.003 I'm in my mid thirties. 71 00:05:20,415.003 --> 00:05:23,955.003 I'm a white woman living in America. 72 00:05:23,955.103 --> 00:05:28,395.003 And that's just one opinion. 73 00:05:28,445.003 --> 00:05:31,185.003 You know, there's so many other cultures, other perspectives. 74 00:05:31,485.002 --> 00:05:37,365.003 And I want to try to bring those in on the podcast as well, to offer lots of different perspectives and not just Mine. 75 00:05:38,175.003 --> 00:05:53,215.002 So, please go out, research, learn as much as you can about the things that interest you, about mediumship or psychotherapy or the spirit world, and your own healing path, and know that I will offer lots of different resources and lots of different people. 76 00:05:53,325.002 --> 00:06:00,125.002 I'm not afraid to recommend other people that I know that have helped me and that have helped others and that I believe could help you. 77 00:06:00,890.002 --> 00:06:07,960.002 One thing I want to say is that throughout my years of addiction, I was never able to turn off that connection with the spirit world. 78 00:06:08,400.002 --> 00:06:11,150.0015 At the time, like I said, it was something that scared me. 79 00:06:11,150.0015 --> 00:06:13,680.002 It was something I was trying to repress. 80 00:06:14,645.002 --> 00:06:17,735.002 And I had a lot of scary experiences actually. 81 00:06:17,735.002 --> 00:06:27,485.002 I'm probably going to have a whole episode on this because I know a lot of people experience this where they're scared of connecting or they're, they have scary experiences and they want to know what it is. 82 00:06:27,785.001 --> 00:06:29,775.002 So I have a lot of thoughts on that that I'll share later. 83 00:06:30,105.002 --> 00:06:44,210.002 But one thing I want to say is that I, I was able to learn how to control my mediumship and how to, I now kind of shut it off and turn it on when I want to use it in a session, which makes it more powerful in the session. 84 00:06:44,220.002 --> 00:06:50,170.0015 And it allows me to be human when I'm not working, which is very beneficial. 85 00:06:50,170.0015 --> 00:06:51,220.002 I'm still sensitive. 86 00:06:51,250.002 --> 00:06:56,450.002 I can still tune into things if I want to, but it's not overwhelming like it used to be. 87 00:06:56,450.002 --> 00:06:58,450.002 So that's something that I teach as well. 88 00:06:59,390.002 --> 00:07:00,900.001 I don't believe it's all love and light. 89 00:07:01,600.002 --> 00:07:08,900.002 However, I do think a lot of it does come from our mind and our cultural conditioning, such as Hollywood movies telling us ghosts are scary. 90 00:07:08,900.102 --> 00:07:25,940.002 And when we feel energy outside of ourselves, if we have, especially if we have been through experiences in our life where we felt where we had maybe traumatic experiences of people around us. 91 00:07:27,215.002 --> 00:07:31,955.002 outside energy can feel intrusive and can feel scary. 92 00:07:32,505.002 --> 00:07:45,585.002 Even if it is a loving presence, even if it is our loved ones coming to visit us, our mind can, in our past experiences, and our nervous system can respond to it as a threat, even when it's not. 93 00:07:46,25.002 --> 00:07:50,75.002 And I want to be clear, I have never felt anything evil in a mediumship session. 94 00:07:50,85.002 --> 00:07:54,850.002 That's not a place where Darker negative energy is going to come in. 95 00:07:54,850.002 --> 00:07:57,460.002 I don't believe that's going to happen. 96 00:07:57,530.002 --> 00:08:12,90.001 I've never felt it and doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but you're creating, you know, you're setting the intention of who and what and why you're working and loved ones in spirit are so excited at the opportunity for this meeting. 97 00:08:12,370.001 --> 00:08:16,450.001 And I truly believe that they have a hand in orchestrating it. 98 00:08:17,25.002 --> 00:08:29,345.002 This is something I learned from, from Mavis Patila that she, she would say they're the ones that are picking you as the medium and they then have to get their loved ones to you. 99 00:08:29,365.002 --> 00:08:34,65.001 So it's a great honor because they've been watching you and they've been sending their people to you. 100 00:08:34,65.001 --> 00:08:59,650.001 So, so know that if you're a medium that that's, you know, that you've been carefully selected by the person in spirit because they feel like they can work with you that you'll understand them that they'll be able to work with your clairs in a way that they'll get their message to their loved one so that time is not going to be wasted it's a place for healing it's a place for reunion, a place for the people in the spirit world to show, Hey, I'm still here. 101 00:09:00,400.001 --> 00:09:01,370.001 I haven't gone anywhere. 102 00:09:01,680.001 --> 00:09:02,530.001 I can see you. 103 00:09:02,550.001 --> 00:09:05,770.001 I can talk to you and, and I just want you to be able to hear me too. 104 00:09:06,290.001 --> 00:09:08,120.001 So that's such a beautiful thing. 105 00:09:10,800.001 --> 00:09:15,010 I don't have negative experiences, negative spiritual experiences anymore.
(09:15):
.001I haven't for a long time. 107 00:09:16,640.001 --> 00:09:29,920.1 And Not to say I don't think it doesn't exist, but I do think that we can get to a place where what we're tuning into and what we're declaring that we work with is what we, is, is what we want to experience and that we have control over that. 108 00:09:30,200.101 --> 00:09:34,120.1 That's very important that you know is that you have control over your own energy. 109 00:09:34,510.101 --> 00:09:45,570.101 So if you ever experience something you feel is, unsafe or you don't want around, you All you have to do is tell it to get the F out, basically. 110 00:09:46,490.101 --> 00:09:50,550.101 Just command whatever you feel is there to go away. 111 00:09:50,670.1 --> 00:09:52,90.101 It could just be your grandmother. 112 00:09:52,540.1 --> 00:10:00,350.1 But if you're not sure and you don't like it and it's not feeling good to you, know that you have control over your energetic space. 113 00:10:00,830.101 --> 00:10:14,355.101 So that's something that I came to realize that, you know, if there's, if there are dark forces and stuff out there, that they can only mess with us if we give permission to mess with us, basically. 114 00:10:14,355.101 --> 00:10:23,510.101 And we might not realize we're giving permission, but we can't be scared unless we, you know, Let them scare us basically. 115 00:10:24,60.101 --> 00:10:25,460.101 I'll share, I'll share more about this. 116 00:10:25,470.101 --> 00:10:31,500.101 If I share anything tonight well, whatever time it is when, when you are listening, but it's nighttime when I am recording this. 117 00:10:31,500.101 --> 00:10:34,780.1 If you hear anything that you want to know more about, please let me know. 118 00:10:34,780.101 --> 00:10:42,90.1 You can go over to my Instagram at medium Kimberly and just leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like to hear more about. 119 00:10:42,120.1 --> 00:10:43,300.1 I would love to hear from you. 120 00:10:45,325.1 --> 00:10:49,805.1 I've worked in the field of death, dying, and grief for 18 years, for half of my life. 121 00:10:50,155.1 --> 00:10:55,845.1 When I was 18, I started working in an assisted living facility with people with dementia and at the end of life. 122 00:10:56,115.1 --> 00:10:59,155.099 And I fell in love with working with that population. 123 00:10:59,545.099 --> 00:11:03,45.1 I love working with the elderly, with people with dementia. 124 00:11:03,255.099 --> 00:11:11,695.1 I just have a knack with communicating with people in dementia and meeting them where they're at because people with dementia have one foot in this world and one foot in the next. 125 00:11:11,765.1 --> 00:11:23,115.1 And so I was using my medium capabilities at the time without even realizing it to connect in with their soul and always just loved, loved working with them. 126 00:11:23,255.1 --> 00:11:32,675.1 Also, I love the elderly because they don't typically judge you on petty things like the way you look or if you're cool or whatever, they just care if you're kind. 127 00:11:35,150.1 --> 00:11:40,910.1 I've had the honor of assisting many people through the sacred transition of death and dying. 128 00:11:41,300.1 --> 00:11:44,330.1 Been there with many people at that point of death. 129 00:11:44,380.1 --> 00:11:47,550.1 And like I said, consider it an extreme honor. 130 00:11:47,570.1 --> 00:11:51,650.1 And just as birth is sacred, I believe that death is sacred as well. 131 00:11:52,190.1 --> 00:11:55,230.1 It's, you know, birth is coming from the spirit world into this world. 132 00:11:55,540.1 --> 00:11:58,160.1 Death, we're leaving this world, going back home to the spirit world. 133 00:12:00,370.1 --> 00:12:07,920.099 For 13 years, I worked as a certified nursing assistant and caregiver, both in facilities and private duty in people's homes. 134 00:12:08,480.1 --> 00:12:15,160.1 I thought I wanted to be a nurse, so I took all my prerequisites and got accepted to a bachelor's science of nursing program. 135 00:12:15,490.099 --> 00:12:21,620.1 However, I did not accept admission because I had a moment of clarity and realized nursing was not my calling. 136 00:12:22,550.1 --> 00:12:26,670.1 However, I am so grateful that I took classes such as anatomy and physiology. 137 00:12:26,930.1 --> 00:12:32,260.099 It gave me such a better understanding of the human body, and it serves my mediumship and my energy work. 138 00:12:32,590.1 --> 00:12:50,10.1 I can better understand what's going on in someone's body and also the spirit people that come in the mediumship sessions can communicate through sensations in my body, how they passed and what ailments they had in their life more clearly than before I had this knowledge. 139 00:12:51,650.1 --> 00:13:10,705.1 So with this 18 years of experience in healthcare as an end of life tool as well as being a newly trained depth oriented grief therapist and with my mediumship experience, I offer a In my mentorship, I offer education that grounds the spiritual into science by bridging these worlds of psychotherapy, death and dying, and evidential mediumship. 140 00:13:10,705.1 --> 00:13:13,445.101 A one on one mentorship session with me. 141 00:13:13,845.101 --> 00:13:27,745.101 This is a place where you can ask me anything you want, basically, and we can do one on one development of mediumship, psychic abilities, intuition, healing abilities, life, business, spiritual mentorship. 142 00:13:28,340.101 --> 00:13:33,430.101 We'll make a plan together, grief, education and, and guidance. 143 00:13:33,620.101 --> 00:13:38,310.101 Not, it's not therapy, but I can offer information and tools. 144 00:13:39,390.101 --> 00:13:43,980.101 This mentorship is perfect for developing beginning medium people that are curious. 145 00:13:44,180.101 --> 00:13:55,180.1 Also, if you just have questions or if you had a mediumship session with me and you just have like a ton of questions about the process, spiritual philosophy, that's a great thing to book. 146 00:13:55,500.1 --> 00:13:57,450.1 Just know that it's not going to be a reading. 147 00:13:58,225.101 --> 00:14:00,505.101 And you can book one or you can book as many as you like. 148 00:14:02,725.101 --> 00:14:07,225.101 I want to talk a little bit about my mediumship sessions, what they entail. 149 00:14:07,685.101 --> 00:14:17,285.101 So I do evidential mediumship, which means my intention is to bring through lots of specific evidence, you know, without a doubt who I'm communicating with. 150 00:14:17,685.101 --> 00:14:19,665.101 I want to do that before I give you a message. 151 00:14:20,405.101 --> 00:14:20,925.101 So. 152 00:14:21,315.101 --> 00:14:26,825.101 Whether you go to me or you go to another medium, try to give the medium as little information as you can. 153 00:14:27,315.101 --> 00:14:29,5.101 This is because we use our mind. 154 00:14:29,5.101 --> 00:14:30,175.1 It's mental mediumship. 155 00:14:31,5.101 --> 00:14:39,475.1 People think that it's going to help or that like we're trying to find out information on the side, like to help us and it doesn't, it makes it so much harder. 156 00:14:39,885.101 --> 00:14:41,765.101 For example, I do like to read for friends. 157 00:14:41,765.101 --> 00:14:49,195.101 I just, you know, I want to try to help everyone, but it is so much harder to read for friends because you already know things about them. 158 00:14:49,205.101 --> 00:14:50,895.101 So it's very hard to stay neutral. 159 00:14:51,65.101 --> 00:15:02,455.101 When you don't know anything about a person and you're in that energetic zone for mediumship, you're in that altered state of consciousness, you know that everything that's coming into your mind is coming from the world of spirit. 160 00:15:03,730.101 --> 00:15:12,220.101 If you're having to kind of go, Ooh, is this my try to parse out? Is this my mind? Is this the spirit world? It really can make things difficult. 161 00:15:12,530.101 --> 00:15:17,310.101 So I'm going to ask you for either just yes, no, or I don't know in a reading. 162 00:15:17,680.101 --> 00:15:21,800.101 Try not to give me any additional information and also don't be afraid to say no. 163 00:15:21,950.101 --> 00:15:24,820.101 So I give, I bring through information in the readings. 164 00:15:24,820.101 --> 00:15:28,0.101 I'll just list off a few things that are possible that could come through. 165 00:15:28,795.101 --> 00:15:32,25.101 This list is from a book called Medium by Constanza Morningstar. 166 00:15:32,335.101 --> 00:15:35,605.101 I did some mentorship under her before. 167 00:15:35,605.101 --> 00:15:36,875.101 She's wonderful. 168 00:15:37,135.101 --> 00:15:39,665.101 And I just really love this concise list. 169 00:15:39,665.101 --> 00:15:41,815.101 So some of the evidential things that can come through. 170 00:15:41,835.101 --> 00:16:10,350.1 Relationship to the sitter, age at death, cause of death, circumstances surrounding their passing, physical characteristics, name, occupation, address, personality, character, hobbies, interests, habits, foods they like to eat, special possessions, characteristics that made the spirit communicator unique, special memories, stories, shared memories with the sitter, family and friends and spirit who are with them on the other side, pets in the spirit world, and a message can be anything. 171 00:16:10,570.1 --> 00:16:33,30.1 A few examples, though, are wanting to express something they didn't get to say before death, validation of end of life decisions, a desire to make amends, a new perspective on an old situation, validating of attempts at spirit contact, validation of dream visits, emotional support for the sitter during their life crisis, during a life crisis or difficulty, and guidance on upcoming events in the sitter's life. 172 00:16:33,330.1 --> 00:16:34,730.1 I just Love that list. 173 00:16:34,730.1 --> 00:16:38,580.1 And of course, so many other things, the list is infinite for the things that can come through. 174 00:16:38,850.1 --> 00:16:43,650.099 And the message can be very, very specific for whatever you're experiencing in your life. 175 00:16:45,60.1 --> 00:16:46,900.1 I work as both a psychic and a medium. 176 00:16:47,580.1 --> 00:16:51,230.1 A psychic is when I use my soul to connect to your soul. 177 00:16:52,60.099 --> 00:16:55,450.1 Mediumship is when I'm connecting with the souls of those who have departed. 178 00:16:55,450.1 --> 00:17:02,350.1 So they no longer have their body, but they still have that same, it's soul to soul communication, just like psychic is soul to soul. 179 00:17:02,690.1 --> 00:17:04,990.1 communication with us here in the living. 180 00:17:05,300.1 --> 00:17:07,820.1 Mediumship is that same soul to soul communication. 181 00:17:07,820.1 --> 00:17:10,310.1 They just are in a different place and don't have a body. 182 00:17:10,310.1 --> 00:17:12,60.101 I focus on mediumship. 183 00:17:12,60.101 --> 00:17:16,550.1025 However, usually psychic stuff comes in most every reading. 184 00:17:16,980.1015 --> 00:17:20,110.1015 I'm just not a fortune teller. 185 00:17:20,430.1015 --> 00:17:24,610.1015 Don't come to me if you want to know who you're going to marry or what you should do. 186 00:17:24,630.1005 --> 00:17:26,950.1015 I'm not, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life. 187 00:17:27,710.1025 --> 00:17:29,430.1025 I'll offer you something better though. 188 00:17:30,240.1025 --> 00:17:35,170.1025 I will show you you know, like I said, I don't like to focus on psychic, but I want to meet the need of the soul. 189 00:17:35,170.1025 --> 00:17:45,440.1025 So if someone comes and it's what they need, I just talk about what's going on in their life and what's likely to happen. 190 00:17:45,960.1025 --> 00:17:58,280.1015 If they continue on the same path, and if you would like a different outcome, what are some things that you can shift in your life to have a different outcome? I really don't believe in this is going to happen to you on x day. 191 00:17:58,280.1015 --> 00:18:00,60.1015 The future is not set in stone. 192 00:18:00,520.1015 --> 00:18:02,230.1025 We have the ability to shift our future. 193 00:18:02,760.1025 --> 00:18:08,420.1025 That's a whole nother conversation on, you know, of course, fate versus, you know, versus destiny and free will. 194 00:18:08,560.1025 --> 00:18:15,0.1025 But I believe, I believe in both, but I do believe we have sometimes more free will than we, than we realize. 195 00:18:15,110.1025 --> 00:18:18,520.1025 My intention with a mediumship reading is to bring through healing. 196 00:18:18,590.1025 --> 00:18:20,650.1015 I want you to know that your loved ones. 197 00:18:21,190.1025 --> 00:18:21,960.1025 They're with you. 198 00:18:21,990.1025 --> 00:18:24,200.1025 And it's not me that is making them appear. 199 00:18:24,830.1025 --> 00:18:31,570.1025 They're with you and they bring through evidence in the mediumship reading to show what they've seen to show that to prove that they've been around you. 200 00:18:32,170.1025 --> 00:18:35,940.1015 And the spirit world are the ones that prove life after that. 201 00:18:36,50.1015 --> 00:18:37,730.1015 I'm not proving life after that. 202 00:18:38,500.1015 --> 00:18:39,890.1025 I am not there to convince you. 203 00:18:39,910.1025 --> 00:18:41,870.1025 I am there to Be a mouthpiece for them. 204 00:18:41,910.1025 --> 00:18:43,270.1025 I am just a translator. 205 00:18:43,270.1025 --> 00:18:44,70.1025 It's not about me. 206 00:18:44,990.1025 --> 00:18:55,210.1015 If you think of them coming with a different language, or if you think of like, what would a translator do sitting between two people that are sitting, speaking two different languages, it's not about the translator. 207 00:18:55,210.1015 --> 00:18:57,620.1015 It's just, simply sharing the message to the best of my ability. 208 00:18:57,820.1025 --> 00:18:59,690.1025 Sometimes I'm going to mistranslate things. 209 00:18:59,730.1025 --> 00:19:01,310.1025 Sometimes I'm going to get something wrong. 210 00:19:01,450.1025 --> 00:19:03,160.1025 No medium is going to be a hundred percent accurate. 211 00:19:03,775.1025 --> 00:19:05,695.1025 And I'm not going to be the medium for everyone. 212 00:19:05,715.1025 --> 00:19:06,615.1025 That's important to know. 213 00:19:06,615.1025 --> 00:19:08,495.1025 No medium is going to be for everyone. 214 00:19:08,495.1025 --> 00:19:11,105.1025 That's why we have so many wonderful mediums in the world. 215 00:19:11,475.1025 --> 00:19:15,845.1025 Because we work through our references, our life experiences that we have been through. 216 00:19:16,315.1015 --> 00:19:30,295.1025 Because I have been through some gnarly things in life, I'm able to empathize and I tend to attract people that have gone, you know, that have gone through a lot or that the spirit communicator has gone through a lot as well. 217 00:19:32,535.1025 --> 00:19:42,815.1015 I want you to know that a mediumship reading is inherently healing because of the energy that the spirit world, that spirit, the power of the universe is bringing through the mediumship reading. 218 00:19:43,165.1025 --> 00:19:58,645.1015 So we're creating that space for you are, coming to reading wanting healing, everyone that's coming to a reading on some levels, wanting healing, understanding, clarity, closure, wanting some new perspective, wanting to know there's life after death, wanting to know their loved ones are okay, their loved ones are around. 219 00:19:59,195.1025 --> 00:20:05,440.1025 So The spirit world is bringing in healing for whatever you're going through, whatever is on your mind. 220 00:20:05,450.1025 --> 00:20:06,540.1025 That's very important to know. 221 00:20:07,340.1025 --> 00:20:11,460.1025 And it's very important to know that you can talk to your loved ones and they can hear you. 222 00:20:11,510.1025 --> 00:20:13,30.1025 That's something I tell every client. 223 00:20:13,660.1025 --> 00:20:16,820.1025 So if you've worked with me before, you've heard me say this. 224 00:20:17,90.1025 --> 00:20:24,660.1025 That you can communicate with your loved ones through writing, through talking out loud, or through simply directing your thoughts towards them in your mind. 225 00:20:24,670.1025 --> 00:20:26,380.1025 They are only a thought away. 226 00:20:26,650.1025 --> 00:20:29,550.1025 They will be right there next to you as soon as you ask them to be. 227 00:20:29,560.1025 --> 00:20:30,960.1025 That's very important to know. 228 00:20:30,960.1025 --> 00:20:33,260.1025 It's very important to know that you can ask them for signs. 229 00:20:33,905.1025 --> 00:20:39,235.1025 So, we want to be very open minded when we come to a mediumship reading though. 230 00:20:39,615.1025 --> 00:20:44,235.1025 Please don't come to a mediumship reading wanting to hear only one specific thing or one code word. 231 00:20:44,905.1015 --> 00:20:46,335.1025 It's okay to be skeptical. 232 00:20:47,205.1015 --> 00:20:50,715.1025 The more open minded we can be. 233 00:20:51,515.1025 --> 00:20:59,445.1025 The more curious, the more open to anything, no expectations, that gives the best reading. 234 00:21:00,165.1025 --> 00:21:06,45.1015 We'll have the best results by letting go, by being, by, by being open to anything that comes through. 235 00:21:06,185.1025 --> 00:21:10,85.1025 That's not to say you can't have emotion and have to just be like, okay, I don't care. 236 00:21:10,515.1015 --> 00:21:15,925.1025 But if you're open, excited, sending your medium a smile is always helpful. 237 00:21:16,325.1025 --> 00:21:19,765.1025 We're often extremely sensitive self conscious people. 238 00:21:20,395.1025 --> 00:21:30,135.1025 I know I am and I've had to work a lot to be able to do a reading and to be confident enough to just say what I'm getting to get the nose. 239 00:21:30,135.1025 --> 00:21:31,575.1025 It takes years of practice. 240 00:21:31,585.1025 --> 00:21:35,655.1015 And if you're developing medium, you know, this, it may look easy, but it's not. 241 00:21:35,975.1015 --> 00:22:00,855.1015 And it's taken taken years for us to get where we are when we're working professionally and able to just what, you know, what we received, just let it roll right off our tongue, that worrying, about what it means or how, you know, how, you know, Well, if it's going to be good enough for something like that, I strive to be the best person I can in my mediumship and in life in general, if I've messed up, I want to talk to you and I want to apologize about it. 242 00:22:01,145.1015 --> 00:22:09,945.1015 And I do that if I messed up and I don't know about it, I want to know about it, you know, so I want to have that chance to have the hard conversation and to repair it. 243 00:22:11,105.1015 --> 00:22:16,255.1015 So on that note, if you've ever had a reading with me, and for some reason, something didn't sit right, or. 244 00:22:16,800.1015 --> 00:22:23,140.1015 Or if I just know you, if you're anyone in my life, know that I'm someone that's open to having those hard conversations. 245 00:22:24,400.1015 --> 00:22:26,380.1005 I think that it's important. 246 00:22:26,390.1015 --> 00:22:34,850.1015 We, do that as people mediumship as well is, you know, if you're, if you're a medium, we have to learn to have those hard conversations because. 247 00:22:36,700.1015 --> 00:22:59,760.1025 They're going to come through in mediumship as well So the more we work on our communication in life, the more our communication is going to unfold and improve in our mediumship so if we shy away from conflict shy away from hard conversations Our mediumship sessions might not go as deep as we'd like them to be so that's something to consider and something i'm Continually working on so for the last year. 248 00:22:59,790.1025 --> 00:23:10,770.1025 I have worked as a grief therapist and training while in a master's of psychology program With an emphasis of depth psychology in marriage family therapy and clinical counseling. 249 00:23:11,330.1025 --> 00:23:17,280.1025 I'm currently writing my thesis on the healing potential of mediumship as an adjunct to grief therapy. 250 00:23:17,860.1025 --> 00:23:19,980.1025 And I'm very excited about it. 251 00:23:20,620.1025 --> 00:23:28,170.1025 I've delved so deep into this topic and I can't wait to share with you more about my findings and courses are coming from it. 252 00:23:28,210.1025 --> 00:23:32,530.1025 I've already gone double over the page limit that I'm supposed to for my thesis. 253 00:23:32,540.1025 --> 00:23:34,270.1025 So I think it's going to be a book as well. 254 00:23:34,840.1015 --> 00:23:45,580.1015 And some of the courses that are coming this year are my mediumship one on one course where we will go over the basics of mediumship. 255 00:23:45,590.1015 --> 00:23:49,950.1015 So if you're just starting or you're curious, I will have a course for you. 256 00:23:50,280.1015 --> 00:23:55,40.1015 We'll go over the mechanics of mediumship, the ethics of mediumship, spiritual philosophy. 257 00:23:55,40.1015 --> 00:23:57,0.1015 how to nurture your unique connection. 258 00:23:57,420.1015 --> 00:24:03,140.101 We'll go over, you know, basics such as the clairs and just really nurture your ability. 259 00:24:03,140.101 --> 00:24:11,60.1015 And also I will help guide you through the blocks that come up because a lot of healing comes up on the mediumship path. 260 00:24:11,480.1005 --> 00:24:19,660.1015 Another thing that we're going to be going over in this mediumship one on one class, which is also, I'm going to have it as its own kind of one off. 261 00:24:20,270.1015 --> 00:24:35,80.1015 Course that anyone can buy separate, but it'll be included in the mediumship 101 is grief training for mediums so I working as a Interim grief therapist the last year and then writing my thesis all about grief and mediumship. 262 00:24:35,660.1005 --> 00:24:37,830.1015 I Know a lot about it now. 263 00:24:38,220.1005 --> 00:24:38,880.1015 I don't know everything. 264 00:24:38,880.1015 --> 00:24:54,380.1015 I'm still beginning as a therapist, but I am going to be sharing what mediums need to know when they're working with, with clients, how to operate as a medium under your scope of competence and your scope of practice, how can you better, and also. 265 00:24:55,135.1015 --> 00:24:59,645.1015 what to look for if you need to get your sitter a higher level of care. 266 00:25:00,825.1015 --> 00:25:03,425.1015 Suicide ideation is very common in grief. 267 00:25:03,685.1015 --> 00:25:13,145.1015 So knowing what to look for and how to help a person who's experiencing this, I feel every medium needs to know this to be an ethical medium. 268 00:25:14,435.1015 --> 00:25:25,730.0025 And of course, to have referrals and to have things in place in your mediumship practice that offer safe container as possible for you. 269 00:25:26,310.1025 --> 00:25:28,360.1025 The people that are coming to you for help. 270 00:25:29,390.1025 --> 00:25:32,510.1025 Grief is the hardest time in a person's life often. 271 00:25:32,530.1025 --> 00:25:43,160.1025 And we need to be very, very sensitive and, and understand to the best of our ability, what's going on in the grief process and how we can be the best help we can. 272 00:25:43,230.2025 --> 00:25:49,30.1025 This podcast and any information I provide is obviously not a substitute for therapy. 273 00:25:49,410.1025 --> 00:25:57,300.1025 If you are experiencing a hard time with your grief or if you're experiencing suicidal ideation, please reach out to a grief therapist. 274 00:25:57,670.1025 --> 00:26:02,180.1015 Therapists all specialize in different things, so please make sure to find a therapist who's had training in grief. 275 00:26:02,420.1025 --> 00:26:11,20.1015 If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, there's a suicide hotline that you can call or text in the US or Canada, and that number is 988. 276 00:26:13,130.1025 --> 00:26:18,800.1025 If you live in another country, simply look it up on the internet and a hotline should pop right up for you. 277 00:26:19,270.1025 --> 00:26:28,735.1025 It's important to know that it's something that's very, very common to have thoughts about death and to have some suicidal ideation in grief. 278 00:26:29,45.1025 --> 00:26:33,165.1025 There's a big difference between wanting to be with your loved one. 279 00:26:33,185.1015 --> 00:26:40,915.1025 There's a big difference between having those passive thoughts and having a plan and a timeline and a method. 280 00:26:40,975.1025 --> 00:26:45,155.1025 So please know that There's such a stigma around it. 281 00:26:45,165.1025 --> 00:27:15,945.1015 Please know that a trained therapist is not going to immediately just want to lock you up That's the fear people don't want to talk about it because I'm like, oh if I share this with anyone I'm immediately gonna get institutionalized and That's not the case if you are if you are If you really need and you really are wanting to end your life, then yes, that's a possibility, but it's better to get the help and go through that experience and be alive and be here than it is to keep it to yourself and be with it alone. 282 00:27:16,595.1025 --> 00:27:32,615.1015 A trained therapist is going to understand, especially someone that is trained in grief, and sees how often this occurs, the having the thoughts and what, and they can see a kind of typical experience of grief and what is going to need more assistance from therapists and doctors. 283 00:27:32,995.1015 --> 00:27:40,375.1025 So please find it, find a therapist if you're having any of these thoughts or feelings and know that you can share. 284 00:27:40,385.1025 --> 00:27:43,215.1025 If you don't know where to start, you can always reach out to me and I will. 285 00:27:43,425.1025 --> 00:27:45,835.1025 Help you find a therapist in your area. 286 00:27:46,425.1025 --> 00:27:54,335.1015 I'm very passionate about this topic because I just feel like so many people are alone when they don't have to be. 287 00:27:55,195.1015 --> 00:28:00,995.1025 So as I segue into talking about the next group I'm offering, I just want to emphasize that. 288 00:28:01,720.1035 --> 00:28:14,100.1045 It's not for the acute stage of grief it's more for when you're more settled in your grief, you are hopefully working alongside with your therapist and this next group. 289 00:28:16,0.1045 --> 00:28:16,960.1045 Mediumship for grievers course. 290 00:28:17,320.1045 --> 00:28:29,50.1035 If you're someone that is grieving the loss of a loved one and you want to learn how to connect in with your loved one more and receive signs and nurture your relationship with them, then this course is for you. 291 00:28:29,100.2035 --> 00:28:32,750.2035 I do, like I said, I believe every human has the ability to connect with your loved ones. 292 00:28:33,90.2035 --> 00:28:35,200.2035 And we're closer to our loved ones than. 293 00:28:35,425.2035 --> 00:28:39,895.2035 Then a medium is so we're going to be able to sense them more easily. 294 00:28:40,285.2035 --> 00:28:51,465.2035 And I want to be clear that this isn't about denying grief and this isn't about denying, you know that our grief is very real and we wish that we'd rather have them here in the physical. 295 00:28:52,475.2035 --> 00:28:53,735.2035 I know that to be true. 296 00:28:53,765.2025 --> 00:28:56,145.2035 I I've experienced grief firsthand. 297 00:28:56,915.2035 --> 00:29:01,375.2045 I lost a loved one 20 years ago that was very, very close to me and. 298 00:29:02,210.2045 --> 00:29:08,140.2045 So the things that have helped me on my own grief journey are things that I want to offer to others. 299 00:29:08,740.2045 --> 00:29:14,0.2045 Mediumship and therapy are two things that have helped me so much. 300 00:29:14,390.2045 --> 00:29:24,860.2045 So in this course, we're going, it's going to be also a community in place where, you know, you can meet people that are going through the same thing that want to get excited about sharing signs with each other. 301 00:29:24,900.2045 --> 00:29:27,500.2045 And also grief can be so isolating. 302 00:29:27,920.2045 --> 00:29:30,490.2045 It feels like, I'm the only one experiencing this. 303 00:29:30,490.2045 --> 00:29:31,560.2045 People don't understand me. 304 00:29:31,560.2045 --> 00:29:33,750.2045 The world just keeps going on for other people. 305 00:29:34,490.2045 --> 00:29:36,750.2045 Maybe I'm pretending to be okay when I'm not. 306 00:29:37,50.2045 --> 00:29:53,705.2045 And these are people that are just going to get you and be on the same wavelength as you and also We can get excited and know that magic is real and know that our loved ones You know only the physical body dies and everything else that makes us who we are lives on and that's so exciting That is so exciting. 307 00:29:54,275.2045 --> 00:29:55,175.2045 There's no death. 308 00:29:55,945.2035 --> 00:30:10,835.2045 But at the same time, like I said holding those two the tension of opposite two things can be true at once that there can be No death in a way, you know, our loved ones are still involved in our lives and we can still connect with them. 309 00:30:11,305.2045 --> 00:30:16,115.2045 At the same time, we can be grieving and wishing they were here so much because it isn't the same. 310 00:30:16,155.2045 --> 00:30:29,495.2045 I know it's not, but it does offer a new perspective and a connection that is so healing and so nurturing, inspiring, and helps us see the world in a whole new, with a whole new set of eyes. 311 00:30:32,160.2045 --> 00:30:58,290.2045 I'm also going to be doing a writing with grief workshop that I'll probably be a part of the mediumship for grievers course But I'm gonna also offer it as its own Separate thing because I also love writing and writing is something that has really helped me through my own grieving process so we'll go through, you know guided meditation and writing prompts and I'll be assisting you to connect in with your loved one through writing and through guided meditation. 312 00:30:58,820.2045 --> 00:31:02,910.2045 I'm also going to offer this course for the basics of mediumship for psychotherapists. 313 00:31:02,910.2045 --> 00:31:10,710.2035 So if you're a therapist or you know, a therapist that wants to know more about mediumship, this is the course for you or for them. 314 00:31:11,120.2035 --> 00:31:20,195.2035 So What is going to be taught in this course, I'm going to share lots of different techniques of how to work with your client to process that session. 315 00:31:20,195.2035 --> 00:31:25,615.2025 There's so much processing and integration that can happen after a mediumship session, which is why. 316 00:31:26,215.2035 --> 00:31:32,425.2035 Most mediums don't allow someone to come back within six months to a year. 317 00:31:32,465.2035 --> 00:31:34,215.2035 There's so much integration that happens. 318 00:31:34,245.2035 --> 00:31:42,75.2055 And also you need to give time for new information to come through and for the healing to unfold that was brought through in that session. 319 00:31:42,705.2045 --> 00:31:46,545.2045 Unfortunately, the reality is, is people also have bad mediumship sessions. 320 00:31:46,965.2045 --> 00:31:50,85.2045 Not every medium is going to be a bang on every day. 321 00:31:50,135.2045 --> 00:32:12,530.2045 Mediums have good and bad days, but Some, the truth is just like with any profession out there, there's good mediums and there's bad mediums who maybe are not trained or are frankly scamming people, you know, so taking, taking advantage of people in the most vulnerable times of their lives, which is horrible, but there are people out there like that. 322 00:32:12,530.2045 --> 00:32:15,790.2045 Just like there's, scam artists out there in every single. 323 00:32:16,330.2045 --> 00:32:17,460.2045 Profession out there. 324 00:32:17,910.2045 --> 00:32:50,630.2045 However, there are amazing incredible mediums and I know a lot of them so, It's very important as a therapist if you know that your client is going to be going to a medium If they're open to to talking about it is to helping, you know, helping them What are the things you need to know to find a good medium? And then if they do unfortunately have a bad session how to process that together in the therapeutic container I'm gonna share in this course is how to assist your client if they are wanting to develop their own mediumship, if they're wanting to connect in with their loved ones, how you can support them in that process. 325 00:32:50,630.2045 --> 00:33:21,910.3035 Not like you're teaching them mediumship, but just how you can be there for them and know the kind of the basics of mediumship, just like learning about any other subculture or anything, just so you can help them to know maybe, What, you know, what's a dream visitation? When is it someone's mind processing versus, versus a real visitation or a mixture of both? When is it their fear or their mind coming in? And of course, talking about things like signs. 326 00:33:23,850.3045 --> 00:33:27,480.3045 There'll be a lot more there but I'm very excited about these classes. 327 00:33:27,510.3045 --> 00:33:29,570.3045 I have so much information I want to share. 328 00:33:30,140.3045 --> 00:33:47,160.3045 If you're interested, you can head over to my website, Kimberly Lakin, K I M B E R L Y L A K E I N backslash mentorship, and you can fill out the form there and you will receive more information when the courses are ready. 329 00:33:49,80.3045 --> 00:33:50,380.3045 A couple of fun things about me. 330 00:33:50,430.3045 --> 00:33:51,380.3045 I am a mom. 331 00:33:51,380.3045 --> 00:33:52,860.3045 It's my favorite thing in the world. 332 00:33:52,860.3045 --> 00:33:55,350.3045 I love my toddler more than anything. 333 00:33:55,940.3045 --> 00:34:03,820.3035 He's the sweetest, most incredible soul I could ever have meet and know. 334 00:34:03,860.3045 --> 00:34:05,290.3035 And I'm just honored to be his mom. 335 00:34:05,720.3035 --> 00:34:07,690.3045 And my husband's pretty cool too, just kidding. 336 00:34:08,270.3045 --> 00:34:09,40.3045 They're both my world. 337 00:34:09,40.3045 --> 00:34:11,230.3045 I love them so much as well as our two kitties. 338 00:34:11,710.3045 --> 00:34:14,380.3045 My total crazy cat lady. 339 00:34:14,760.3045 --> 00:34:19,70.3045 I also love hiking, swimming, being in nature. 340 00:34:19,80.3045 --> 00:34:21,670.3045 The forest is my favorite place along with the ocean. 341 00:34:22,170.3035 --> 00:34:23,370.3025 I'm vegan. 342 00:34:24,640.3035 --> 00:34:27,310.3025 Have you heard the joke?

(00:48):
We are here together to experience the healing power of mediumship.
Welcome to spirit therapy.
Hello and welcome to this first episode of spirit therapy.
I'm so grateful you're here. 14 00:01:05,639.999 --> 00:01:06,819.999 My name is Kimberly Lakin.
I'd like to take this first podcast episode to introduce myself, tell you a little bit about my history, what I offer and my intentions for this podcast.
(01:19):
Mediumship is my passion.
.999I love.
Connecting with the world of spirit.
And I love serving the world of spirit and helping people through the power of mediumship.
I really believe that mediumship is healing and that we can all benefit from it.
I believe that all humans have the power and the ability to develop mediumistic abilities.
(01:41):
If it's something you're interested in, I'm going to be sharing about that on this podcast.
I have been a medium my whole life.
It started when I was a really small child.
From what I remember, I could hear the spirit people when I was falling asleep, which really, really scared me.
As you can imagine.
If you're a medium, maybe you've experienced this too.
(02:03):
Well, what I did was I would go to bed every night with the radio on.
But that only helped so much.
I also experienced vivid and prophetic dreams.
seeing energy around people, knowing things about people, and just being extremely sensitive my whole life.
.001So I tried to dial down this knob sensitivity took it matters into my own hands and turned to drugs and alcohol, which as you can imagine didn't work, didn't help. 33 00:02:30,790.001 --> 00:02:33,120.001 I still had those spiritual experiences. 34 00:02:33,160.001 --> 00:02:34,400.001 I was still scared about it. 35 00:02:34,770.001 --> 00:02:39,670.001 But I also always had a very, very close connection with my spirituality and my higher power.
(02:40):
.001And that's something that really helped me through, through my childhood and, and through those years. 37 00:02:45,560.001 --> 00:02:51,300.001 So, I am very grateful that I hit my bottom in addiction very quickly in life. 38 00:02:52,70.001 --> 00:02:54,850.001 It was Very bad and very fast. 39 00:02:54,860.001 --> 00:03:02,170.001 So I packed a lot into about a decade or so of using and drinking and got sober at the age of 24. 40 00:03:02,470.001 --> 00:03:03,070 Thank God. 41 00:03:03,300.001 --> 00:03:05,230.001 My 2010. 42 00:03:05,240.001 --> 00:03:07,690.001 So I just recently celebrated 13 years. 43 00:03:07,690.001 --> 00:03:11,400.001 Sobriety was the beginning of my spiritual and healing journey. 44 00:03:11,810.001 --> 00:03:16,350.001 And through sobriety, I was able to connect back in with my mediumship. 45 00:03:16,985.001 --> 00:03:20,795.001 in a way that I realized it's healing potential. 46 00:03:20,825.001 --> 00:03:33,25.002 And a few years into my sobriety after some not so pleasant experiences, you could say, catapulted me back onto that spiritual path. 47 00:03:33,105.002 --> 00:03:37,465.002 And I was committed to developing mediumship and serving. 48 00:03:38,125.002 --> 00:03:41,615.002 I knew that it was my life path and I was ready. 49 00:03:41,615.002 --> 00:03:43,175.002 To commit to it at that point. 50 00:03:43,185.002 --> 00:03:50,975.001 So the next 10 years were a journey of me finding myself and healing, developing mediumship with various mentors. 51 00:03:51,995.002 --> 00:04:05,635.002 The first few years of my development, I developed on my own, which I'm very grateful for because it allowed me to develop my own language with the spirit world, really nurture my own unique connection with them without Other people telling you what to do, basically. 52 00:04:06,635.002 --> 00:04:14,805.002 So when I mentor other mediums, I really like to bring that out because I believe we each have our own unique connection, which is very important. 53 00:04:15,155.002 --> 00:04:19,105.002 We're not meant to all approach mediumship the same exact way. 54 00:04:19,215.004 --> 00:04:33,0.003 I've gathered a plethora of tools over the years from working with my own spirit team and also mentoring under world renowned mediums such as Mavis Patella, Annie G, Kay Reynolds and Danielle Serank to name a few. 55 00:04:33,0.003 --> 00:04:35,730.003 I will always be developing mediumship as a lifelong unfoldment. 56 00:04:35,740.003 --> 00:04:37,20.003 We're never fully developed. 57 00:04:37,260.003 --> 00:04:39,410.003 Every medium is always going to be still developing. 58 00:04:39,420.003 --> 00:04:41,560.002 There's always room to grow and more to learn. 59 00:04:43,260.003 --> 00:04:48,200.003 I also want to highlight just sharing my experience and what I've learned along the way from others. 60 00:04:48,610.003 --> 00:04:54,75.003 And if anything doesn't resonate, you know, listen to your intuition and your Truth. 61 00:04:54,745.003 --> 00:04:55,915.003 Listen to your own gut. 62 00:04:56,275.003 --> 00:04:58,635.003 And some things I say may resonate and some things may not. 63 00:04:59,5.003 --> 00:05:01,735.003 And we're all on our own quest, I believe, to find our own truth. 64 00:05:01,755.003 --> 00:05:04,855.003 And I want you to listen to what's true for you. 65 00:05:05,355.003 --> 00:05:08,575.003 So, if ever I say anything that you don't agree with, let it go. 66 00:05:08,675.003 --> 00:05:10,105.003 Take what resonates and leave the rest. 67 00:05:11,665.003 --> 00:05:12,885.003 I'm only one person. 68 00:05:12,885.003 --> 00:05:16,875.003 I'm sharing my perspective from I'm a Jewish witch. 69 00:05:17,525.003 --> 00:05:18,575.003 I'm bisexual. 70 00:05:18,575.003 --> 00:05:20,325.003 I'm in my mid thirties. 71 00:05:20,415.003 --> 00:05:23,955.003 I'm a white woman living in America. 72 00:05:23,955.103 --> 00:05:28,395.003 And that's just one opinion. 73 00:05:28,445.003 --> 00:05:31,185.003 You know, there's so many other cultures, other perspectives. 74 00:05:31,485.002 --> 00:05:37,365.003 And I want to try to bring those in on the podcast as well, to offer lots of different perspectives and not just Mine. 75 00:05:38,175.003 --> 00:05:53,215.002 So, please go out, research, learn as much as you can about the things that interest you, about mediumship or psychotherapy or the spirit world, and your own healing path, and know that I will offer lots of different resources and lots of different people. 76 00:05:53,325.002 --> 00:06:00,125.002 I'm not afraid to recommend other people that I know that have helped me and that have helped others and that I believe could help you. 77 00:06:00,890.002 --> 00:06:07,960.002 One thing I want to say is that throughout my years of addiction, I was never able to turn off that connection with the spirit world. 78 00:06:08,400.002 --> 00:06:11,150.0015 At the time, like I said, it was something that scared me. 79 00:06:11,150.0015 --> 00:06:13,680.002 It was something I was trying to repress. 80 00:06:14,645.002 --> 00:06:17,735.002 And I had a lot of scary experiences actually. 81 00:06:17,735.002 --> 00:06:27,485.002 I'm probably going to have a whole episode on this because I know a lot of people experience this where they're scared of connecting or they're, they have scary experiences and they want to know what it is. 82 00:06:27,785.001 --> 00:06:29,775.002 So I have a lot of thoughts on that that I'll share later. 83 00:06:30,105.002 --> 00:06:44,210.002 But one thing I want to say is that I, I was able to learn how to control my mediumship and how to, I now kind of shut it off and turn it on when I want to use it in a session, which makes it more powerful in the session. 84 00:06:44,220.002 --> 00:06:50,170.0015 And it allows me to be human when I'm not working, which is very beneficial. 85 00:06:50,170.0015 --> 00:06:51,220.002 I'm still sensitive. 86 00:06:51,250.002 --> 00:06:56,450.002 I can still tune into things if I want to, but it's not overwhelming like it used to be. 87 00:06:56,450.002 --> 00:06:58,450.002 So that's something that I teach as well. 88 00:06:59,390.002 --> 00:07:00,900.001 I don't believe it's all love and light. 89 00:07:01,600.002 --> 00:07:08,900.002 However, I do think a lot of it does come from our mind and our cultural conditioning, such as Hollywood movies telling us ghosts are scary. 90 00:07:08,900.102 --> 00:07:25,940.002 And when we feel energy outside of ourselves, if we have, especially if we have been through experiences in our life where we felt where we had maybe traumatic experiences of people around us. 91 00:07:27,215.002 --> 00:07:31,955.002 outside energy can feel intrusive and can feel scary. 92 00:07:32,505.002 --> 00:07:45,585.002 Even if it is a loving presence, even if it is our loved ones coming to visit us, our mind can, in our past experiences, and our nervous system can respond to it as a threat, even when it's not. 93 00:07:46,25.002 --> 00:07:50,75.002 And I want to be clear, I have never felt anything evil in a mediumship session. 94 00:07:50,85.002 --> 00:07:54,850.002 That's not a place where Darker negative energy is going to come in. 95 00:07:54,850.002 --> 00:07:57,460.002 I don't believe that's going to happen. 96 00:07:57,530.002 --> 00:08:12,90.001 I've never felt it and doesn't mean it doesn't exist, but you're creating, you know, you're setting the intention of who and what and why you're working and loved ones in spirit are so excited at the opportunity for this meeting. 97 00:08:12,370.001 --> 00:08:16,450.001 And I truly believe that they have a hand in orchestrating it. 98 00:08:17,25.002 --> 00:08:29,345.002 This is something I learned from, from Mavis Patila that she, she would say they're the ones that are picking you as the medium and they then have to get their loved ones to you. 99 00:08:29,365.002 --> 00:08:34,65.001 So it's a great honor because they've been watching you and they've been sending their people to you. 100 00:08:34,65.001 --> 00:08:59,650.001 So, so know that if you're a medium that that's, you know, that you've been carefully selected by the person in spirit because they feel like they can work with you that you'll understand them that they'll be able to work with your clairs in a way that they'll get their message to their loved one so that time is not going to be wasted it's a place for healing it's a place for reunion, a place for the people in the spirit world to show, Hey, I'm still here. 101 00:09:00,400.001 --> 00:09:01,370.001 I haven't gone anywhere. 102 00:09:01,680.001 --> 00:09:02,530.001 I can see you. 103 00:09:02,550.001 --> 00:09:05,770.001 I can talk to you and, and I just want you to be able to hear me too. 104 00:09:06,290.001 --> 00:09:08,120.001 So that's such a beautiful thing. 105 00:09:10,800.001 --> 00:09:15,010 I don't have negative experiences, negative spiritual experiences anymore.
(09:15):
.001I haven't for a long time. 107 00:09:16,640.001 --> 00:09:29,920.1 And Not to say I don't think it doesn't exist, but I do think that we can get to a place where what we're tuning into and what we're declaring that we work with is what we, is, is what we want to experience and that we have control over that. 108 00:09:30,200.101 --> 00:09:34,120.1 That's very important that you know is that you have control over your own energy. 109 00:09:34,510.101 --> 00:09:45,570.101 So if you ever experience something you feel is, unsafe or you don't want around, you All you have to do is tell it to get the F out, basically. 110 00:09:46,490.101 --> 00:09:50,550.101 Just command whatever you feel is there to go away. 111 00:09:50,670.1 --> 00:09:52,90.101 It could just be your grandmother. 112 00:09:52,540.1 --> 00:10:00,350.1 But if you're not sure and you don't like it and it's not feeling good to you, know that you have control over your energetic space. 113 00:10:00,830.101 --> 00:10:14,355.101 So that's something that I came to realize that, you know, if there's, if there are dark forces and stuff out there, that they can only mess with us if we give permission to mess with us, basically. 114 00:10:14,355.101 --> 00:10:23,510.101 And we might not realize we're giving permission, but we can't be scared unless we, you know, Let them scare us basically. 115 00:10:24,60.101 --> 00:10:25,460.101 I'll share, I'll share more about this. 116 00:10:25,470.101 --> 00:10:31,500.101 If I share anything tonight well, whatever time it is when, when you are listening, but it's nighttime when I am recording this. 117 00:10:31,500.101 --> 00:10:34,780.1 If you hear anything that you want to know more about, please let me know. 118 00:10:34,780.101 --> 00:10:42,90.1 You can go over to my Instagram at medium Kimberly and just leave me a comment and let me know what you'd like to hear more about. 119 00:10:42,120.1 --> 00:10:43,300.1 I would love to hear from you. 120 00:10:45,325.1 --> 00:10:49,805.1 I've worked in the field of death, dying, and grief for 18 years, for half of my life. 121 00:10:50,155.1 --> 00:10:55,845.1 When I was 18, I started working in an assisted living facility with people with dementia and at the end of life. 122 00:10:56,115.1 --> 00:10:59,155.099 And I fell in love with working with that population. 123 00:10:59,545.099 --> 00:11:03,45.1 I love working with the elderly, with people with dementia. 124 00:11:03,255.099 --> 00:11:11,695.1 I just have a knack with communicating with people in dementia and meeting them where they're at because people with dementia have one foot in this world and one foot in the next. 125 00:11:11,765.1 --> 00:11:23,115.1 And so I was using my medium capabilities at the time without even realizing it to connect in with their soul and always just loved, loved working with them. 126 00:11:23,255.1 --> 00:11:32,675.1 Also, I love the elderly because they don't typically judge you on petty things like the way you look or if you're cool or whatever, they just care if you're kind. 127 00:11:35,150.1 --> 00:11:40,910.1 I've had the honor of assisting many people through the sacred transition of death and dying. 128 00:11:41,300.1 --> 00:11:44,330.1 Been there with many people at that point of death. 129 00:11:44,380.1 --> 00:11:47,550.1 And like I said, consider it an extreme honor. 130 00:11:47,570.1 --> 00:11:51,650.1 And just as birth is sacred, I believe that death is sacred as well. 131 00:11:52,190.1 --> 00:11:55,230.1 It's, you know, birth is coming from the spirit world into this world. 132 00:11:55,540.1 --> 00:11:58,160.1 Death, we're leaving this world, going back home to the spirit world. 133 00:12:00,370.1 --> 00:12:07,920.099 For 13 years, I worked as a certified nursing assistant and caregiver, both in facilities and private duty in people's homes. 134 00:12:08,480.1 --> 00:12:15,160.1 I thought I wanted to be a nurse, so I took all my prerequisites and got accepted to a bachelor's science of nursing program. 135 00:12:15,490.099 --> 00:12:21,620.1 However, I did not accept admission because I had a moment of clarity and realized nursing was not my calling. 136 00:12:22,550.1 --> 00:12:26,670.1 However, I am so grateful that I took classes such as anatomy and physiology. 137 00:12:26,930.1 --> 00:12:32,260.099 It gave me such a better understanding of the human body, and it serves my mediumship and my energy work. 138 00:12:32,590.1 --> 00:12:50,10.1 I can better understand what's going on in someone's body and also the spirit people that come in the mediumship sessions can communicate through sensations in my body, how they passed and what ailments they had in their life more clearly than before I had this knowledge. 139 00:12:51,650.1 --> 00:13:10,705.1 So with this 18 years of experience in healthcare as an end of life tool as well as being a newly trained depth oriented grief therapist and with my mediumship experience, I offer a In my mentorship, I offer education that grounds the spiritual into science by bridging these worlds of psychotherapy, death and dying, and evidential mediumship. 140 00:13:10,705.1 --> 00:13:13,445.101 A one on one mentorship session with me. 141 00:13:13,845.101 --> 00:13:27,745.101 This is a place where you can ask me anything you want, basically, and we can do one on one development of mediumship, psychic abilities, intuition, healing abilities, life, business, spiritual mentorship. 142 00:13:28,340.101 --> 00:13:33,430.101 We'll make a plan together, grief, education and, and guidance. 143 00:13:33,620.101 --> 00:13:38,310.101 Not, it's not therapy, but I can offer information and tools. 144 00:13:39,390.101 --> 00:13:43,980.101 This mentorship is perfect for developing beginning medium people that are curious. 145 00:13:44,180.101 --> 00:13:55,180.1 Also, if you just have questions or if you had a mediumship session with me and you just have like a ton of questions about the process, spiritual philosophy, that's a great thing to book. 146 00:13:55,500.1 --> 00:13:57,450.1 Just know that it's not going to be a reading. 147 00:13:58,225.101 --> 00:14:00,505.101 And you can book one or you can book as many as you like. 148 00:14:02,725.101 --> 00:14:07,225.101 I want to talk a little bit about my mediumship sessions, what they entail. 149 00:14:07,685.101 --> 00:14:17,285.101 So I do evidential mediumship, which means my intention is to bring through lots of specific evidence, you know, without a doubt who I'm communicating with. 150 00:14:17,685.101 --> 00:14:19,665.101 I want to do that before I give you a message. 151 00:14:20,405.101 --> 00:14:20,925.101 So. 152 00:14:21,315.101 --> 00:14:26,825.101 Whether you go to me or you go to another medium, try to give the medium as little information as you can. 153 00:14:27,315.101 --> 00:14:29,5.101 This is because we use our mind. 154 00:14:29,5.101 --> 00:14:30,175.1 It's mental mediumship. 155 00:14:31,5.101 --> 00:14:39,475.1 People think that it's going to help or that like we're trying to find out information on the side, like to help us and it doesn't, it makes it so much harder. 156 00:14:39,885.101 --> 00:14:41,765.101 For example, I do like to read for friends. 157 00:14:41,765.101 --> 00:14:49,195.101 I just, you know, I want to try to help everyone, but it is so much harder to read for friends because you already know things about them. 158 00:14:49,205.101 --> 00:14:50,895.101 So it's very hard to stay neutral. 159 00:14:51,65.101 --> 00:15:02,455.101 When you don't know anything about a person and you're in that energetic zone for mediumship, you're in that altered state of consciousness, you know that everything that's coming into your mind is coming from the world of spirit. 160 00:15:03,730.101 --> 00:15:12,220.101 If you're having to kind of go, Ooh, is this my try to parse out? Is this my mind? Is this the spirit world? It really can make things difficult. 161 00:15:12,530.101 --> 00:15:17,310.101 So I'm going to ask you for either just yes, no, or I don't know in a reading. 162 00:15:17,680.101 --> 00:15:21,800.101 Try not to give me any additional information and also don't be afraid to say no. 163 00:15:21,950.101 --> 00:15:24,820.101 So I give, I bring through information in the readings. 164 00:15:24,820.101 --> 00:15:28,0.101 I'll just list off a few things that are possible that could come through. 165 00:15:28,795.101 --> 00:15:32,25.101 This list is from a book called Medium by Constanza Morningstar. 166 00:15:32,335.101 --> 00:15:35,605.101 I did some mentorship under her before. 167 00:15:35,605.101 --> 00:15:36,875.101 She's wonderful. 168 00:15:37,135.101 --> 00:15:39,665.101 And I just really love this concise list. 169 00:15:39,665.101 --> 00:15:41,815.101 So some of the evidential things that can come through. 170 00:15:41,835.101 --> 00:16:10,350.1 Relationship to the sitter, age at death, cause of death, circumstances surrounding their passing, physical characteristics, name, occupation, address, personality, character, hobbies, interests, habits, foods they like to eat, special possessions, characteristics that made the spirit communicator unique, special memories, stories, shared memories with the sitter, family and friends and spirit who are with them on the other side, pets in the spirit world, and a message can be anything. 171 00:16:10,570.1 --> 00:16:33,30.1 A few examples, though, are wanting to express something they didn't get to say before death, validation of end of life decisions, a desire to make amends, a new perspective on an old situation, validating of attempts at spirit contact, validation of dream visits, emotional support for the sitter during their life crisis, during a life crisis or difficulty, and guidance on upcoming events in the sitter's life. 172 00:16:33,330.1 --> 00:16:34,730.1 I just Love that list. 173 00:16:34,730.1 --> 00:16:38,580.1 And of course, so many other things, the list is infinite for the things that can come through. 174 00:16:38,850.1 --> 00:16:43,650.099 And the message can be very, very specific for whatever you're experiencing in your life. 175 00:16:45,60.1 --> 00:16:46,900.1 I work as both a psychic and a medium. 176 00:16:47,580.1 --> 00:16:51,230.1 A psychic is when I use my soul to connect to your soul. 177 00:16:52,60.099 --> 00:16:55,450.1 Mediumship is when I'm connecting with the souls of those who have departed. 178 00:16:55,450.1 --> 00:17:02,350.1 So they no longer have their body, but they still have that same, it's soul to soul communication, just like psychic is soul to soul. 179 00:17:02,690.1 --> 00:17:04,990.1 communication with us here in the living. 180 00:17:05,300.1 --> 00:17:07,820.1 Mediumship is that same soul to soul communication. 181 00:17:07,820.1 --> 00:17:10,310.1 They just are in a different place and don't have a body. 182 00:17:10,310.1 --> 00:17:12,60.101 I focus on mediumship. 183 00:17:12,60.101 --> 00:17:16,550.1025 However, usually psychic stuff comes in most every reading. 184 00:17:16,980.1015 --> 00:17:20,110.1015 I'm just not a fortune teller. 185 00:17:20,430.1015 --> 00:17:24,610.1015 Don't come to me if you want to know who you're going to marry or what you should do. 186 00:17:24,630.1005 --> 00:17:26,950.1015 I'm not, I'm not going to tell you what to do with your life. 187 00:17:27,710.1025 --> 00:17:29,430.1025 I'll offer you something better though. 188 00:17:30,240.1025 --> 00:17:35,170.1025 I will show you you know, like I said, I don't like to focus on psychic, but I want to meet the need of the soul. 189 00:17:35,170.1025 --> 00:17:45,440.1025 So if someone comes and it's what they need, I just talk about what's going on in their life and what's likely to happen. 190 00:17:45,960.1025 --> 00:17:58,280.1015 If they continue on the same path, and if you would like a different outcome, what are some things that you can shift in your life to have a different outcome? I really don't believe in this is going to happen to you on x day. 191 00:17:58,280.1015 --> 00:18:00,60.1015 The future is not set in stone. 192 00:18:00,520.1015 --> 00:18:02,230.1025 We have the ability to shift our future. 193 00:18:02,760.1025 --> 00:18:08,420.1025 That's a whole nother conversation on, you know, of course, fate versus, you know, versus destiny and free will. 194 00:18:08,560.1025 --> 00:18:15,0.1025 But I believe, I believe in both, but I do believe we have sometimes more free will than we, than we realize. 195 00:18:15,110.1025 --> 00:18:18,520.1025 My intention with a mediumship reading is to bring through healing. 196 00:18:18,590.1025 --> 00:18:20,650.1015 I want you to know that your loved ones. 197 00:18:21,190.1025 --> 00:18:21,960.1025 They're with you. 198 00:18:21,990.1025 --> 00:18:24,200.1025 And it's not me that is making them appear. 199 00:18:24,830.1025 --> 00:18:31,570.1025 They're with you and they bring through evidence in the mediumship reading to show what they've seen to show that to prove that they've been around you. 200 00:18:32,170.1025 --> 00:18:35,940.1015 And the spirit world are the ones that prove life after that. 201 00:18:36,50.1015 --> 00:18:37,730.1015 I'm not proving life after that. 202 00:18:38,500.1015 --> 00:18:39,890.1025 I am not there to convince you. 203 00:18:39,910.1025 --> 00:18:41,870.1025 I am there to Be a mouthpiece for them. 204 00:18:41,910.1025 --> 00:18:43,270.1025 I am just a translator. 205 00:18:43,270.1025 --> 00:18:44,70.1025 It's not about me. 206 00:18:44,990.1025 --> 00:18:55,210.1015 If you think of them coming with a different language, or if you think of like, what would a translator do sitting between two people that are sitting, speaking two different languages, it's not about the translator. 207 00:18:55,210.1015 --> 00:18:57,620.1015 It's just, simply sharing the message to the best of my ability. 208 00:18:57,820.1025 --> 00:18:59,690.1025 Sometimes I'm going to mistranslate things. 209 00:18:59,730.1025 --> 00:19:01,310.1025 Sometimes I'm going to get something wrong. 210 00:19:01,450.1025 --> 00:19:03,160.1025 No medium is going to be a hundred percent accurate. 211 00:19:03,775.1025 --> 00:19:05,695.1025 And I'm not going to be the medium for everyone. 212 00:19:05,715.1025 --> 00:19:06,615.1025 That's important to know. 213 00:19:06,615.1025 --> 00:19:08,495.1025 No medium is going to be for everyone. 214 00:19:08,495.1025 --> 00:19:11,105.1025 That's why we have so many wonderful mediums in the world. 215 00:19:11,475.1025 --> 00:19:15,845.1025 Because we work through our references, our life experiences that we have been through. 216 00:19:16,315.1015 --> 00:19:30,295.1025 Because I have been through some gnarly things in life, I'm able to empathize and I tend to attract people that have gone, you know, that have gone through a lot or that the spirit communicator has gone through a lot as well. 217 00:19:32,535.1025 --> 00:19:42,815.1015 I want you to know that a mediumship reading is inherently healing because of the energy that the spirit world, that spirit, the power of the universe is bringing through the mediumship reading. 218 00:19:43,165.1025 --> 00:19:58,645.1015 So we're creating that space for you are, coming to reading wanting healing, everyone that's coming to a reading on some levels, wanting healing, understanding, clarity, closure, wanting some new perspective, wanting to know there's life after death, wanting to know their loved ones are okay, their loved ones are around. 219 00:19:59,195.1025 --> 00:20:05,440.1025 So The spirit world is bringing in healing for whatever you're going through, whatever is on your mind. 220 00:20:05,450.1025 --> 00:20:06,540.1025 That's very important to know. 221 00:20:07,340.1025 --> 00:20:11,460.1025 And it's very important to know that you can talk to your loved ones and they can hear you. 222 00:20:11,510.1025 --> 00:20:13,30.1025 That's something I tell every client. 223 00:20:13,660.1025 --> 00:20:16,820.1025 So if you've worked with me before, you've heard me say this. 224 00:20:17,90.1025 --> 00:20:24,660.1025 That you can communicate with your loved ones through writing, through talking out loud, or through simply directing your thoughts towards them in your mind. 225 00:20:24,670.1025 --> 00:20:26,380.1025 They are only a thought away. 226 00:20:26,650.1025 --> 00:20:29,550.1025 They will be right there next to you as soon as you ask them to be. 227 00:20:29,560.1025 --> 00:20:30,960.1025 That's very important to know. 228 00:20:30,960.1025 --> 00:20:33,260.1025 It's very important to know that you can ask them for signs. 229 00:20:33,905.1025 --> 00:20:39,235.1025 So, we want to be very open minded when we come to a mediumship reading though. 230 00:20:39,615.1025 --> 00:20:44,235.1025 Please don't come to a mediumship reading wanting to hear only one specific thing or one code word. 231 00:20:44,905.1015 --> 00:20:46,335.1025 It's okay to be skeptical. 232 00:20:47,205.1015 --> 00:20:50,715.1025 The more open minded we can be. 233 00:20:51,515.1025 --> 00:20:59,445.1025 The more curious, the more open to anything, no expectations, that gives the best reading. 234 00:21:00,165.1025 --> 00:21:06,45.1015 We'll have the best results by letting go, by being, by, by being open to anything that comes through. 235 00:21:06,185.1025 --> 00:21:10,85.1025 That's not to say you can't have emotion and have to just be like, okay, I don't care. 236 00:21:10,515.1015 --> 00:21:15,925.1025 But if you're open, excited, sending your medium a smile is always helpful. 237 00:21:16,325.1025 --> 00:21:19,765.1025 We're often extremely sensitive self conscious people. 238 00:21:20,395.1025 --> 00:21:30,135.1025 I know I am and I've had to work a lot to be able to do a reading and to be confident enough to just say what I'm getting to get the nose. 239 00:21:30,135.1025 --> 00:21:31,575.1025 It takes years of practice. 240 00:21:31,585.1025 --> 00:21:35,655.1015 And if you're developing medium, you know, this, it may look easy, but it's not. 241 00:21:35,975.1015 --> 00:22:00,855.1015 And it's taken taken years for us to get where we are when we're working professionally and able to just what, you know, what we received, just let it roll right off our tongue, that worrying, about what it means or how, you know, how, you know, Well, if it's going to be good enough for something like that, I strive to be the best person I can in my mediumship and in life in general, if I've messed up, I want to talk to you and I want to apologize about it. 242 00:22:01,145.1015 --> 00:22:09,945.1015 And I do that if I messed up and I don't know about it, I want to know about it, you know, so I want to have that chance to have the hard conversation and to repair it. 243 00:22:11,105.1015 --> 00:22:16,255.1015 So on that note, if you've ever had a reading with me, and for some reason, something didn't sit right, or. 244 00:22:16,800.1015 --> 00:22:23,140.1015 Or if I just know you, if you're anyone in my life, know that I'm someone that's open to having those hard conversations. 245 00:22:24,400.1015 --> 00:22:26,380.1005 I think that it's important. 246 00:22:26,390.1015 --> 00:22:34,850.1015 We, do that as people mediumship as well is, you know, if you're, if you're a medium, we have to learn to have those hard conversations because. 247 00:22:36,700.1015 --> 00:22:59,760.1025 They're going to come through in mediumship as well So the more we work on our communication in life, the more our communication is going to unfold and improve in our mediumship so if we shy away from conflict shy away from hard conversations Our mediumship sessions might not go as deep as we'd like them to be so that's something to consider and something i'm Continually working on so for the last year. 248 00:22:59,790.1025 --> 00:23:10,770.1025 I have worked as a grief therapist and training while in a master's of psychology program With an emphasis of depth psychology in marriage family therapy and clinical counseling. 249 00:23:11,330.1025 --> 00:23:17,280.1025 I'm currently writing my thesis on the healing potential of mediumship as an adjunct to grief therapy. 250 00:23:17,860.1025 --> 00:23:19,980.1025 And I'm very excited about it. 251 00:23:20,620.1025 --> 00:23:28,170.1025 I've delved so deep into this topic and I can't wait to share with you more about my findings and courses are coming from it. 252 00:23:28,210.1025 --> 00:23:32,530.1025 I've already gone double over the page limit that I'm supposed to for my thesis. 253 00:23:32,540.1025 --> 00:23:34,270.1025 So I think it's going to be a book as well. 254 00:23:34,840.1015 --> 00:23:45,580.1015 And some of the courses that are coming this year are my mediumship one on one course where we will go over the basics of mediumship. 255 00:23:45,590.1015 --> 00:23:49,950.1015 So if you're just starting or you're curious, I will have a course for you. 256 00:23:50,280.1015 --> 00:23:55,40.1015 We'll go over the mechanics of mediumship, the ethics of mediumship, spiritual philosophy. 257 00:23:55,40.1015 --> 00:23:57,0.1015 how to nurture your unique connection. 258 00:23:57,420.1015 --> 00:24:03,140.101 We'll go over, you know, basics such as the clairs and just really nurture your ability. 259 00:24:03,140.101 --> 00:24:11,60.1015 And also I will help guide you through the blocks that come up because a lot of healing comes up on the mediumship path. 260 00:24:11,480.1005 --> 00:24:19,660.1015 Another thing that we're going to be going over in this mediumship one on one class, which is also, I'm going to have it as its own kind of one off. 261 00:24:20,270.1015 --> 00:24:35,80.1015 Course that anyone can buy separate, but it'll be included in the mediumship 101 is grief training for mediums so I working as a Interim grief therapist the last year and then writing my thesis all about grief and mediumship. 262 00:24:35,660.1005 --> 00:24:37,830.1015 I Know a lot about it now. 263 00:24:38,220.1005 --> 00:24:38,880.1015 I don't know everything. 264 00:24:38,880.1015 --> 00:24:54,380.1015 I'm still beginning as a therapist, but I am going to be sharing what mediums need to know when they're working with, with clients, how to operate as a medium under your scope of competence and your scope of practice, how can you better, and also. 265 00:24:55,135.1015 --> 00:24:59,645.1015 what to look for if you need to get your sitter a higher level of care. 266 00:25:00,825.1015 --> 00:25:03,425.1015 Suicide ideation is very common in grief. 267 00:25:03,685.1015 --> 00:25:13,145.1015 So knowing what to look for and how to help a person who's experiencing this, I feel every medium needs to know this to be an ethical medium. 268 00:25:14,435.1015 --> 00:25:25,730.0025 And of course, to have referrals and to have things in place in your mediumship practice that offer safe container as possible for you. 269 00:25:26,310.1025 --> 00:25:28,360.1025 The people that are coming to you for help. 270 00:25:29,390.1025 --> 00:25:32,510.1025 Grief is the hardest time in a person's life often. 271 00:25:32,530.1025 --> 00:25:43,160.1025 And we need to be very, very sensitive and, and understand to the best of our ability, what's going on in the grief process and how we can be the best help we can. 272 00:25:43,230.2025 --> 00:25:49,30.1025 This podcast and any information I provide is obviously not a substitute for therapy. 273 00:25:49,410.1025 --> 00:25:57,300.1025 If you are experiencing a hard time with your grief or if you're experiencing suicidal ideation, please reach out to a grief therapist. 274 00:25:57,670.1025 --> 00:26:02,180.1015 Therapists all specialize in different things, so please make sure to find a therapist who's had training in grief. 275 00:26:02,420.1025 --> 00:26:11,20.1015 If you are experiencing thoughts of suicide, there's a suicide hotline that you can call or text in the US or Canada, and that number is 988. 276 00:26:13,130.1025 --> 00:26:18,800.1025 If you live in another country, simply look it up on the internet and a hotline should pop right up for you. 277 00:26:19,270.1025 --> 00:26:28,735.1025 It's important to know that it's something that's very, very common to have thoughts about death and to have some suicidal ideation in grief. 278 00:26:29,45.1025 --> 00:26:33,165.1025 There's a big difference between wanting to be with your loved one. 279 00:26:33,185.1015 --> 00:26:40,915.1025 There's a big difference between having those passive thoughts and having a plan and a timeline and a method. 280 00:26:40,975.1025 --> 00:26:45,155.1025 So please know that There's such a stigma around it. 281 00:26:45,165.1025 --> 00:27:15,945.1015 Please know that a trained therapist is not going to immediately just want to lock you up That's the fear people don't want to talk about it because I'm like, oh if I share this with anyone I'm immediately gonna get institutionalized and That's not the case if you are if you are If you really need and you really are wanting to end your life, then yes, that's a possibility, but it's better to get the help and go through that experience and be alive and be here than it is to keep it to yourself and be with it alone. 282 00:27:16,595.1025 --> 00:27:32,615.1015 A trained therapist is going to understand, especially someone that is trained in grief, and sees how often this occurs, the having the thoughts and what, and they can see a kind of typical experience of grief and what is going to need more assistance from therapists and doctors. 283 00:27:32,995.1015 --> 00:27:40,375.1025 So please find it, find a therapist if you're having any of these thoughts or feelings and know that you can share. 284 00:27:40,385.1025 --> 00:27:43,215.1025 If you don't know where to start, you can always reach out to me and I will. 285 00:27:43,425.1025 --> 00:27:45,835.1025 Help you find a therapist in your area. 286 00:27:46,425.1025 --> 00:27:54,335.1015 I'm very passionate about this topic because I just feel like so many people are alone when they don't have to be. 287 00:27:55,195.1015 --> 00:28:00,995.1025 So as I segue into talking about the next group I'm offering, I just want to emphasize that. 288 00:28:01,720.1035 --> 00:28:14,100.1045 It's not for the acute stage of grief it's more for when you're more settled in your grief, you are hopefully working alongside with your therapist and this next group. 289 00:28:16,0.1045 --> 00:28:16,960.1045 Mediumship for grievers course. 290 00:28:17,320.1045 --> 00:28:29,50.1035 If you're someone that is grieving the loss of a loved one and you want to learn how to connect in with your loved one more and receive signs and nurture your relationship with them, then this course is for you. 291 00:28:29,100.2035 --> 00:28:32,750.2035 I do, like I said, I believe every human has the ability to connect with your loved ones. 292 00:28:33,90.2035 --> 00:28:35,200.2035 And we're closer to our loved ones than. 293 00:28:35,425.2035 --> 00:28:39,895.2035 Then a medium is so we're going to be able to sense them more easily. 294 00:28:40,285.2035 --> 00:28:51,465.2035 And I want to be clear that this isn't about denying grief and this isn't about denying, you know that our grief is very real and we wish that we'd rather have them here in the physical. 295 00:28:52,475.2035 --> 00:28:53,735.2035 I know that to be true. 296 00:28:53,765.2025 --> 00:28:56,145.2035 I I've experienced grief firsthand. 297 00:28:56,915.2035 --> 00:29:01,375.2045 I lost a loved one 20 years ago that was very, very close to me and. 298 00:29:02,210.2045 --> 00:29:08,140.2045 So the things that have helped me on my own grief journey are things that I want to offer to others. 299 00:29:08,740.2045 --> 00:29:14,0.2045 Mediumship and therapy are two things that have helped me so much. 300 00:29:14,390.2045 --> 00:29:24,860.2045 So in this course, we're going, it's going to be also a community in place where, you know, you can meet people that are going through the same thing that want to get excited about sharing signs with each other. 301 00:29:24,900.2045 --> 00:29:27,500.2045 And also grief can be so isolating. 302 00:29:27,920.2045 --> 00:29:30,490.2045 It feels like, I'm the only one experiencing this. 303 00:29:30,490.2045 --> 00:29:31,560.2045 People don't understand me. 304 00:29:31,560.2045 --> 00:29:33,750.2045 The world just keeps going on for other people. 305 00:29:34,490.2045 --> 00:29:36,750.2045 Maybe I'm pretending to be okay when I'm not. 306 00:29:37,50.2045 --> 00:29:53,705.2045 And these are people that are just going to get you and be on the same wavelength as you and also We can get excited and know that magic is real and know that our loved ones You know only the physical body dies and everything else that makes us who we are lives on and that's so exciting That is so exciting. 307 00:29:54,275.2045 --> 00:29:55,175.2045 There's no death. 308 00:29:55,945.2035 --> 00:30:10,835.2045 But at the same time, like I said holding those two the tension of opposite two things can be true at once that there can be No death in a way, you know, our loved ones are still involved in our lives and we can still connect with them. 309 00:30:11,305.2045 --> 00:30:16,115.2045 At the same time, we can be grieving and wishing they were here so much because it isn't the same. 310 00:30:16,155.2045 --> 00:30:29,495.2045 I know it's not, but it does offer a new perspective and a connection that is so healing and so nurturing, inspiring, and helps us see the world in a whole new, with a whole new set of eyes. 311 00:30:32,160.2045 --> 00:30:58,290.2045 I'm also going to be doing a writing with grief workshop that I'll probably be a part of the mediumship for grievers course But I'm gonna also offer it as its own Separate thing because I also love writing and writing is something that has really helped me through my own grieving process so we'll go through, you know guided meditation and writing prompts and I'll be assisting you to connect in with your loved one through writing and through guided meditation. 312 00:30:58,820.2045 --> 00:31:02,910.2045 I'm also going to offer this course for the basics of mediumship for psychotherapists. 313 00:31:02,910.2045 --> 00:31:10,710.2035 So if you're a therapist or you know, a therapist that wants to know more about mediumship, this is the course for you or for them. 314 00:31:11,120.2035 --> 00:31:20,195.2035 So What is going to be taught in this course, I'm going to share lots of different techniques of how to work with your client to process that session. 315 00:31:20,195.2035 --> 00:31:25,615.2025 There's so much processing and integration that can happen after a mediumship session, which is why. 316 00:31:26,215.2035 --> 00:31:32,425.2035 Most mediums don't allow someone to come back within six months to a year. 317 00:31:32,465.2035 --> 00:31:34,215.2035 There's so much integration that happens. 318 00:31:34,245.2035 --> 00:31:42,75.2055 And also you need to give time for new information to come through and for the healing to unfold that was brought through in that session. 319 00:31:42,705.2045 --> 00:31:46,545.2045 Unfortunately, the reality is, is people also have bad mediumship sessions. 320 00:31:46,965.2045 --> 00:31:50,85.2045 Not every medium is going to be a bang on every day. 321 00:31:50,135.2045 --> 00:32:12,530.2045 Mediums have good and bad days, but Some, the truth is just like with any profession out there, there's good mediums and there's bad mediums who maybe are not trained or are frankly scamming people, you know, so taking, taking advantage of people in the most vulnerable times of their lives, which is horrible, but there are people out there like that. 322 00:32:12,530.2045 --> 00:32:15,790.2045 Just like there's, scam artists out there in every single. 323 00:32:16,330.2045 --> 00:32:17,460.2045 Profession out there. 324 00:32:17,910.2045 --> 00:32:50,630.2045 However, there are amazing incredible mediums and I know a lot of them so, It's very important as a therapist if you know that your client is going to be going to a medium If they're open to to talking about it is to helping, you know, helping them What are the things you need to know to find a good medium? And then if they do unfortunately have a bad session how to process that together in the therapeutic container I'm gonna share in this course is how to assist your client if they are wanting to develop their own mediumship, if they're wanting to connect in with their loved ones, how you can support them in that process. 325 00:32:50,630.2045 --> 00:33:21,910.3035 Not like you're teaching them mediumship, but just how you can be there for them and know the kind of the basics of mediumship, just like learning about any other subculture or anything, just so you can help them to know maybe, What, you know, what's a dream visitation? When is it someone's mind processing versus, versus a real visitation or a mixture of both? When is it their fear or their mind coming in? And of course, talking about things like signs. 326 00:33:23,850.3045 --> 00:33:27,480.3045 There'll be a lot more there but I'm very excited about these classes. 327 00:33:27,510.3045 --> 00:33:29,570.3045 I have so much information I want to share. 328 00:33:30,140.3045 --> 00:33:47,160.3045 If you're interested, you can head over to my website, Kimberly Lakin, K I M B E R L Y L A K E I N backslash mentorship, and you can fill out the form there and you will receive more information when the courses are ready. 329 00:33:49,80.3045 --> 00:33:50,380.3045 A couple of fun things about me. 330 00:33:50,430.3045 --> 00:33:51,380.3045 I am a mom. 331 00:33:51,380.3045 --> 00:33:52,860.3045 It's my favorite thing in the world. 332 00:33:52,860.3045 --> 00:33:55,350.3045 I love my toddler more than anything. 333 00:33:55,940.3045 --> 00:34:03,820.3035 He's the sweetest, most incredible soul I could ever have meet and know. 334 00:34:03,860.3045 --> 00:34:05,290.3035 And I'm just honored to be his mom. 335 00:34:05,720.3035 --> 00:34:07,690.3045 And my husband's pretty cool too, just kidding. 336 00:34:08,270.3045 --> 00:34:09,40.3045 They're both my world. 337 00:34:09,40.3045 --> 00:34:11,230.3045 I love them so much as well as our two kitties. 338 00:34:11,710.3045 --> 00:34:14,380.3045 My total crazy cat lady. 339 00:34:14,760.3045 --> 00:34:19,70.3045 I also love hiking, swimming, being in nature. 340 00:34:19,80.3045 --> 00:34:21,670.3045 The forest is my favorite place along with the ocean. 341 00:34:22,170.3035 --> 00:34:23,370.3025 I'm vegan. 342 00:34:24,640.3035 --> 00:34:27,310.3025 Have you heard the joke?
