Wands - Another Door Opens

Because I understand that those of you who are new to the idea of continuing life after death and after-death communication may find some of the concepts in this book confusing or difficult to accept, I would like to explain why I sometimes say I know or believe something that might leave you wondering, How could he know that? or Why does he believe that?

In virtually all such instances, it is what Ive experienced as a psychic working with clients and communicating with those in spirit that has led me to my knowledge and beliefs. Although my work may seem unusual to you, I am really not very different from anyone who has practiced a craft or a profession over a long period of time. The more you work at something, the more information you gather about your particular field, and the more expertise you have, the better you know how things work, so to speak. Therefore, I may, for example, say I know that there are no coincidences in life, or I believe it is fear that holds people back from finding fulfillment. When I say these things, it is because those in spirit have communicated the information to me and/or because, over the years, my clients have confirmed their validity through the outcomes theyve achieved as a result of our working together.

In addition, I have found that many people are surprised to learn that I use a variety of methods derived from many different religious or spiritual traditions to help me with my work. Like those who practice Buddhism, I believe in reincarnation as a way for the soul to evolve and find its purpose in life. Yet I also use Catholic beliefs, prayer, and practices to attract positive energy and connect with my higher self. Because, to me, water signifies purity and is the source of life, I sprinkle holy water in places where lingering negative spiritual energy is causing problems for the current occupants. I even use some of the principles of feng shui, which derives from a Chinese tradition, to shift the energy in particular locations. In fact, I will use whatever ritual I can in order to bring up and connect with a higher spiritual vibration.

Those of you who have been brought up to follow a particular religion or spiritual tradition may find this eclectic approach disconcerting. I, however, was born into this kind of eclecticism. My birth father was Jewish, and my mother, born Anglican, converted to Judaism. I was never told there was a right or wrong way to connect with God or the higher power, and as I was growing up I was drawn more and more to Catholicism, whose rituals and prayers I find grounding and comforting.

That said, however, I believe there are many different ways to connect with the world of spirit, and I dont believe there is any right or wrong road to achieving spirituality. Your belief system, whether or not you label it religion, is always very personal. To me, the only thing that really matters is using your own core beliefs to make the spiritual connection in whatever way works for you as an individual. Ive explored many different paths and taken from each of them whatever has been helpful to me. I dont believe theres anything wrong with combining what you get from a variety of beliefs.

So, as you read on, I invite you to keep an open mind. Dont think that my way is the right way or the only way, but do seek the way that will help you to enrich your own life by making that spiritual connection. And, finally, if it works for you, dont worry about what other people think.
