It’s a big deal to put your shingle outside of your office in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. Becoming a certified medium, healer and teacher is no easy feat. Years of study, mediumship circles and public demonstrations not to mention the self-healing needed to continue to evolve.
My shingle, which is 24 inches by 18 inches (regulation size), was created by the elder who did just about everyone’s shingle as well as other signage in Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. They are beautiful. I was one of her last clients. I went to her home; her artwork was showcased in every room. I was happy when she decided to create my shingle. I gave her my business card for the possible color scheme – blue, indigo, purple. A week passed when I finally got the call. I was excited. She was able to get the purple in the sign, a little silver and bright pink. Remarkably, I loved the pink. I could feel the energy of love put into it. Backstory: My shingle was bright and bold. The day I brought it to my office one of the mediums in the near vicinity claimed that it was larger than hers. I showed the president at the time the first chance I had that it was the same size. My beloved shingle is retiring after nearly six years. In its place anew. It reads: ‘LORI CARTER (in black) Spiritualist Medium (in pink) Healer & Teacher (in purple) with my website FromTheEthers.com (in blue) and my phone number (in black). It also has art: A woman’s healing hand holding planet Earth. From Earth, a dreamier like as if an etheric Earth begins to Ascend and finally in the result a transparentized pyramid with Hebrew written within. In ways, I’m sad for old to go. I will keep it in my office once I figure out how to hang this new shingle. It’s good to clean things out, or throw them away, and replace with new, a new energy, to whom I have become in the past nearly six years. Looking forward to the next chapters. Blessings of Peace and Love!

The other day was just like any other. I went to the post office to get my mail. Interestingly enough there was a package for me. I thought to what I ordered. Nothing.
I sent a text to my daughter to see if she’s been getting way too many packages from Amazon at home. LOL. Nope. My friend got in the car and asked if I was gonna open it. Backstory: One time a potential client sent a manila envelope wanting help. The envelope had childlike writing and Disney stickers on it. It was super odd. When I called, the person answered, and hung up when I said who I was. Strange, right? On the other hand, I had another client who continuously sent cash – always received. I decided to finally open the package. The box read: ‘Luxury.’ It’s safe is what I thought. It was a beautiful tea mug, with a spoon, a luxury coaster and a silk swatch of material. I knew who it came from – one of my students. She sent a tea mug that read, ‘TEACHER’ the last time she took class with me. What a beautiful surprise. I’m almost afraid to use it. I just completed two online courses that lasted eight weeks each. She almost didn’t sign up for the last series of classes. I know she’s happy she did as am I. I love teaching classes, although it does take a lot of energy, which at times is depleted from doing readings and writing. Some days I was not looking forward to class, but when the time came, I was so happy for it. It’s beautiful to assist and ultimately watch others grow their gifts. We all have them, if only we can awaken to them. I am starting online Intuition Development classes this fall, more than likely two – a beginner and an intermediate. As I recalled when the country shut down, everything is energy, so I can teach online classes. If you’re interested, send me an email at LoriCarter@aol.com. See you then, or until next time! Blessings! Admit it. You say it and/or have said it. In my younger years, I swore that I was a sailor in a past life.
I have cleaned up my language for the most part long ago, but still sometimes that F Bomb slips out. Some people believe the word and other similar words have lower-level vibrational energies. Backstory: The F Bomb was never to be said anywhere when I was growing up. I had the guts one time to say it at the dinner table. My dad had a reach like no other. I never said it again in his presence. I grew up though and when I would say it in my own house, my dad chided me saying that my kids would use the language. I didn’t believe him. Guess what? They do and at this point I’m OK with it. I have always said that regardless of what word one uses, it is the intention, the energy, behind it that counts. One of my master teachers disagreed with that idea, hence the curbing of my language. Think about it – if one uses the F Bomb with anger, it is a lower-level vibration. On the other hand, if someone says the F Bomb with laughter, perhaps with a funny joke, I believe the vibrational quality is higher. What about saying the F Bomb and having no energy around it? Not too long ago, Tom Brady did an interview with Howard Stern and used the F Bomb in passing on several occasions. It was odd hearing it from him, but his intention was not of a lower-level vibration. On another level, what if the F Bomb is said inside one’s head, not spoken out loud? Or written? Again, it’s the intention, the energy behind it. It’s not even just the F Bomb, it’s any word or words put out with negative connotations – hate, envy, fear, greed, etc. Think about it. Be mindful. I shared with my daughter the other day what grandpa once said and her thought process is ‘as long as my children do not swear at people, I’m fine with it.’ I thought it made sense and I liked it! The apple doesn’t fall from the tree! Peace P.S. I’ve had enough of writing and saying the F Bomb in my head for quite some time. Occasionally, I change my mind. I’ve always felt that it was unnecessary to visit a gravesite. Spirit is always around us. We can talk with loved ones on the higher side at any time. It’s true.
The other day I set the intention to visit a good friend’s gravesite. It’s not like I hadn’t been there before – four times now to be exact. She’s been on the higher side for just over four years. The third time I went, I left a dime and a penny – 11 cents. It’s the Master Number of Intuition. The coins were still there. I stood chatted about our business plans for the greater good. I know she’s guiding me. I also chatted with her about the mate she is directing my way. Before getting out of my car at the cemetery, I found 11 more cents – this time a nickel and six pennies. The Master Number 22 is about being a Master Builder. We were building our business and I continue with her help from the higher side. As I got into my car, I felt that I had the support and answers as to what directions to go. I slowly turned my car around and as I was about to move forward, a hawk danced near the passenger side front windshield. It fluttered there for about 20 seconds. It’s one of her animal totems. The one word Native-American meaning: Messenger. She wanted to be sure that I knew she was there. Amazing! Thinking to a future trip – another 11 cents equal 33 cents, the Master Teacher number. That she was and continues to be. I have been teaching intuition development classes for several years – both in person and online. We shall see when those coins will be ready to drop. For today and moving forward, I believe setting the intention and then going to a gravesite can be a profound act on so many levels. It’s OK to change your mind. Blessings of Peace and Love I’ve been known to roll up my sleeves and fight for the greater good. I have no problem helping those who cannot or will not fight for themselves. I have also learned when to pick up that sword and when to remain still.
Opening your throat chakra by speaking your truth is a good start. You say I do speak my truth, which may very well be true. But how much do you swallow, do you not say because of fear, a lower-level vibration? I have been a reporter, a freelance writer for more than 25 years; heck one medium said that I was a reporter in a previous life. LOL. I never really liked reading the newspaper because most of the articles were negative. Same with watching mainstream media. I haven’t done that in forever. I have worked to raise my vibration for many years and will continue onto the next plane of existence and beyond. The way we raise our vibration is to bring more happiness, more joy, more love, more peace into our lives. Remember how that feels – play more. Connect with nature more. Ground yourself by walking barefoot in the ground and/or building sandcastles at the beach – Getting in the Dirt. Affirmations always help – I love myself and others the way I and they are, I bring joy into my life and to others, I offer positive solutions, I AM a powerful spiritual being who can make a difference in the upliftment of the collective, the oneness of all that is or ever will be. Does it mean that I am perfect? No, it does not. Sometimes I find myself Getting in the Dirt, going into lower-level vibration thoughts. I realize it and turn my attention to the positive. That’s one big aspect to change – realizing the behavior and going inside to adjust it. Good and less than good exist in everything because of the Law of Duality, which is a Natural Law. We live in the United States of America, so we get to choose. I prefer the higher vibration side, which does not include greed, power and fear. Who here wants peace, love, joy, enlightenment? I have always believed and hoped that the planet Earth would Ascend into a Higher State of Being. We are in the Aquarian Age where peace, joy and love will prevail. When is the question? Everything is in Divine Order. You may think that your little bit won’t help. That’s not true. Every little bit does help, and we can raise the vibration together and set the intention of living peacefully with love, joy, etc. Raise Your Vibration and assist Others to do the Same! Keep in mind that grass can grow in the dirt or not, again, the Law of Duality. Peace, Joy, Love and Light Sent to the World, the Universe and Beyond! |
