Mediumship Reading: Embracing the Pauses + Stillness

This week I had the honor of sitting down with Laureen for a mediumship reading. I had the pleasure of connecting with a few of her Good Spirits and Ancestors.

I find that listening to others' mediumship readings always resonates in some way and has a way of spreading universal messages for others, so my hope by posting and sharing is that you receive any messages, guidance, healing or comforting words that may need to find you.

I will be posting my practice mediumship sessions on my podcast, YouTube and clips on my social media channels, as well, as I continue to hone this skill. You can sign up and join the waitlist for a practice session on my Patreon if you're interested.

Through these readings, it is my hope to help us all remember: We are all interconnected. Our energy continues to exist beyond this plane, and we have a responsibility to one another while we are here on Earth.

Speaker 1 0:00

And we'll just take. We'll start out by taking some deep breaths together and we'll see what. Who comes through? Okay, do you have an aunt who was crossed?

Speaker 2 0:14

over yes.

Speaker 1 0:19

And was she very chatty? Yes, okay, okay, okay, okay, chatty, yes, okay, okay. So I'm right away getting this energy of an aunt who is like very chatty and, um she, did you have a close relationship with her?

Speaker 2 0:34

Yeah.

Speaker 1 0:35

Yeah, okay, she feels almost. It felt almost like a mother figure when she first like showed up, um, but she's like no, no, no, no, I'm I'm, I'm an aunt. I was like, okay, okay, is she your mom's sister? No, no, okay, but definitely had that maternal.

Speaker 2 0:55

It could be. My mom didn't have sisters and my dad didn't have brothers, so I have an aunt that married in on my maternal side and then on maternal side.

Speaker 1 1:03

They're blood ants to zebic okay, okay, she, she feels like very close to you, almost like a second mom. This would be an aunt who you hold that way. Um, let me see, okay, was she kind of like her energy, like the life of the party? Yeah, but all my answer kind of like that, so it's hard to like narrow down which one it could be okay okay, a couple of things she's making me feel like, um, maybe she passed in her 60s or potential to related to breast cancer in some way.

Speaker 2 1:49

I know which one it is, yeah.

Speaker 1 1:51

Okay, and did she pass around Christmas or was there someone's? Was her birthday around Christmas?

Speaker 2 2:05

I think she may have passed around November-ish, I'm not sure when she transitioned. Okay, is there any connection to the name Noelle Noelle? My sister was going to be named Noelle.

Speaker 1 2:28

She was born at christmas time noel or natalie but she got a different name. Oh really, yeah, okay, okay, let's follow that because she was showing me that. Make that's you know okay, let me follow that. Um, she brought up noel and christmas time. Has your sister been going through any like major life transitions or health situations, or has there been a shift in your relationship with her?

Speaker 2 2:51

um, there's been a shift the past year, just in the siblings and yeah, we're all pretty close, but it's just been a stressful year for everyone.

Speaker 1 3:00

Yeah, okay, okay. Is this your dad's sister? Yeah, did she have a tense relationship with your mom ever?

Speaker 2 3:17

Probably Okay. I mean, maybe I'm not sure Okay, but I could see there being historical stuff Maybe.

Speaker 1 3:31

Okay, is money tied to the source of some of the tension with your siblings right now.

Speaker 2 3:39

It could be money. I think more of it's just respect, okay.

Speaker 1 3:42

Yeah, okay, I think more of it's just respect, okay, yeah, okay. Um, she's just making me feel like there's a need to, that you've had a need to set a boundary and enforce a boundary, and it's been difficult and hard, um, but that you're doing what's right for you and you're putting yourself first, and that she just wants to validate that and affirm that. And, um, she's making me feel like she has experienced a similar dynamic in when she was here.

Speaker 2 4:16

Um, also makes complete sense okay oh, I needed that, stephanie thank you, that's so awesome.

Speaker 1 4:23

Yeah, yeah, okay, let me see what else she has to share. Okay, I asked if she has any other like messages for you and she is making me feel. Do you feel like you were kind of um in a period of waiting, or almost like stuck or stagnant, or like you're in? There was some sort of big shift transition in your life that took place and now you are just like wtf, what comes next?

Speaker 1 4:52

yes okay, so she's affirming and acknowledging that um, and this like asserting yourself in this relationship with your sister. Is this like kind of like a new behavior, like normally you would put her first, her needs first, and over your own and spanking new first time.

Speaker 2 5:10

Yeah, it's been really hard boundering.

Speaker 1 5:12

Yeah, and it feels like very raw, very uncomfortable like a whole new world yeah.

Speaker 1 5:20

She's. She is making me feel like everything is going to work out, Like you are in this period of pause and it's needed for a reason, and it can feel frustrating, but it is here to help you shift your perspective. And she's also making me feel like the more you lean into this new you, the more that you continue to put yourself first and expand this new identity of yourself. That's when things are going to start to move more and fall into place.

Speaker 2 5:55

Thank you. Also is like everything serendipitous kind of any cards that I've had pulled lately it falls exactly in line. So I think, yeah, that makes complete sense. It's been a complete time out.

Speaker 1 6:09

Yeah okay, okay, um, do you have any questions for her that you would like me to ask?

Speaker 2 6:17

um, how can I honor her and carry the gifts that she gave to us on? Cause she was so wonderful and so loved and left so soon and we miss her so much. She was just a great human being and a wonderful pie maker. A pie maker, yeah, she made the best blueberry pie, right.

Speaker 1 6:45

As you were asking that question, I heard her say cook, cook my recipes. Yeah, so if you do have some of her recipes, that's one way is to cook her recipes, to share a meal, to set out a plate for her, like she's there and just talk to her. That is one way that's going to like bring her even closer to you. And I also heard like she lives in you, did you look?

Speaker 2 7:11

like her. She looked yeah, as I'm aging, I'm like, oh my gosh, I look just like my dad's sister.

Speaker 1 7:17

She's like, she's like you, like where she's showing me, when spirit shows me someone through their eyes, like it's their way of being, like this is my mini me like this is my uh, you know my twin um like her energy lives on, like through you, like thank you, and it's beautiful, yeah, and you're that gift. Like you are that charming, energetic, like warmth that she carries. It lives in you and other people are receiving that from you and that is an honor to her.

Speaker 2 7:51

My sister and I both had dream apparitions after she passed that were very similar. She remember that? Or like it was there. We were both very young and had almost the exact same experience after her passing.

Speaker 1 8:11

Oh, let me see. I mean, just my logical brain is like that was a visit, that's, that was a total visit. I mean, I just know that for a fact.

Speaker 2 8:16

Yeah, um this really, and it really brought us peace too. And at her passing, because, yeah, disheveled, and she's like nope, there's more for you guys. You need to both stay put, stay in place and do what you need to do. Yeah, it was so beautiful yeah, okay, let's, did she.

Speaker 1 8:36

Did she tell you a lot of jokes? Was she someone who? Did she have a funny sense of humor?

Speaker 2 8:43

I think very dry but very intellectually funny.

Speaker 1 8:48

Yeah.

Speaker 2 8:49

So you really had to like, keep up with, like her wit was really dry and fast and funny.

Speaker 1 8:54

Yeah, when you had this visitation with her, was she kind of witty and just speaking like how she normally speaks, or no, it was like angelic, like yeah okay, and now that I'm starting to read more about this stuff, I'm like.

Speaker 2 9:11

I wonder if it was my subconscious bringing me what I needed or if it was really an apparition those, those are visits.

Speaker 1 9:19

that was her. Yeah, yeah, that that 100. That was her. Yeah, yeah, that 100% was her. Let me see what else she has to say. Is your dad still with us? No, he's not, he's not. Was he a little difficult. I mean, we all are in our own way. Yeah yeah, um was. Was there some sort of like difficulty or challenge, like a situation that kicked up like right before he passed Um, um.

Speaker 2 9:58

Yeah, he was really stubborn. He really wanted his way or the highway. Some of us listened and not everyone did, so it was yeah she's great.

Speaker 1 10:10

I wonder if, let me see if he's stepping forward. Um, okay, yeah, sometimes spirit blends hold. I'm gonna pause there for a second before I go deeper into him. Um, she just has one final, one, final just thing to note. Um, was she? Did she? Was she like very proud of her house, like? Did she like keep, like, decorate her house nice? Did she always have fresh flowers or and stuff like that? Or her house?

Speaker 2 10:39

was just awesome. Yeah, she had knickknacks and family photo albums and the story keeper and the cook and you know you want to put it in a more prominent place, or make her a little altar, like that would be, another way, and then she also brought up fresh flowers.

Speaker 1 11:07

So I don't know if she gardened or had a nice garden or if she if there's some sort of flower that she was her favorite, but maybe just like add that next I will.

Speaker 2 11:16

Yeah, yeah, I'll ask around. Thank you, yes.

Speaker 1 11:19

Yes, Okay, I'm going to let her step aside and then let's see. I feel like dad is coming through. Um was there. Was there something with his heart? Did he have a heart attack or anything?

Speaker 2 11:36

Um, we thought that was how he would pass, because he had some heart issues tooth infection that was going to lead to a heart disease that would eventually take him.

Speaker 1 11:47

Okay.

Speaker 2 11:48

But yeah, there was fear of heart stuff.

Speaker 1 11:50

Okay, yeah, he's bringing me to the heart. Did he want to stay in his home and that was a source of tension towards the end Spot on Stephanie.

Speaker 2 12:02

Yeah, yeah, he did. That's very funny to know, okay, and did he pass in the home? No, he didn't, but he, he almost did okay um, yeah, I'm just.

Speaker 1 12:18

I'm just hearing like I'm sorry I was so stubborn like he is acknowledging that, like that he had a lot of that, that energy that added just some extra stress at a time that was already stressful, you know.

Speaker 2 12:34

It's okay, you did it his way.

Speaker 1 12:39

Were you on the phone with him when he passed, or did you FaceTime or did you?

Speaker 2 12:47

My sister called. Yeah, my sister-in-law was my best friend. She called me and she said he's going to transition soon, so he'll be there.

Speaker 1 12:56

OK.

Speaker 2 12:56

But I know I've got my altar up.

Speaker 1 12:58

OK.

Speaker 2 12:59

I just put it together like in 30 seconds, Like like it went really fast.

Speaker 1 13:04

Yeah.

Speaker 2 13:05

I said other sister called and said he passed and I said I know how I said well, I lit my candle Just kind of knew like he had transitioned.

Speaker 1 13:18

Okay, wow, I have chills Okay, and so he, so you. You weren't there physically, though, right, but you were connected, yeah.

Speaker 2 13:27

Okay, yeah, most of my siblings were there with him, and those that weren't felt his presence.

Speaker 1 13:35

Yeah, yeah he. He makes me feel like he was surrounded by love. He was not alone, it was yeah he felt um, he felt very, very cared for and he said thank you, thank you.

Speaker 2 13:48

That's just the way he made everyone in his life feel. So, we just wanted to make sure he got that right back.

Speaker 1 13:54

Yeah, yeah, and have you had some? Did you have some dreams with him in it after he passed?

Speaker 2 14:05

I may have he's felt really distant and I haven't like he was super religious, so I didn't want to bug him, just kind of let him do process and see what happens. Um, but it was also the grief rollercoaster, so you don't you know, there's so much stuff going on that you don't know what's what in the world.

Speaker 1 14:29

You know, yeah, he's he's ready, willing and able to show up in your dreams. So if you place that out there and on your heart like, thank you yeah. Oh yeah, he's totally down to visit you that way. Thanks, dad. Yeah, okay, I know parents aren't supposed to have favorites, but go on bring it but were you, maybe his favorite.

Speaker 2 14:57

Yes.

Speaker 1 14:58

Yeah, yeah, yeah. He is making me feel that just like an immense amount of just like warmth and love and like a bear hug Like yeah, and I just heard I just I love you so much.

Speaker 2 15:19

I'm so proud of you, kid. Thank you, stephanie. Thanks dad.

Speaker 1 15:32

When you were like younger and getting ready to figure out what like calling and profession you wanted to do, like did you experience some pressure from your mom to do something more practical and maybe your dad was like more supportive of like whatever lit you up.

Speaker 2 15:45

Since I hit the ground he was like name her this and she's like no, it needs to be this. Like he's been like that kind of support even before I came into the world. Like Like be you 100%. And there has been this whole like go to college and do get your insurance, you know, and do what everybody's and since his passing I really feel like I'm figuring me out more, you know, yeah.

Speaker 1 16:14

He's making me feel like. He's like I don't care what you do, I just want you to be happy. And he's also making me feel like has there been some sort of major transition regarding your career or profession, like recently, where you're like I don't want to do this anymore? This is not for me. This is like making me lose my light and maybe you want to try something else and go in a completely different direction. So follow that. He's saying you are supported. It's meant to be like. Um. He's also making me feel like there's a lot of anxiety and uncertainty about it. Yeah, Maybe even like security, like financial security, like how is this? How am I going to pull this off? How is this going to work? Yeah, it doesn't make sense on a piece of paper. No, that's it. Those are the best ideas, and he wants you to follow that.

Speaker 2 17:06

Okay, thank you. That's exactly what I asked in this reading, that's. I totally put that out there last night and this morning Like, am I supposed to go back? Am I like, as I've had a lot of health stuff and I don't know that you know where I'm supposed to be or what I'm, and I just really feel like it's a shake in the past to freaking repurpose?

Speaker 2 17:30

you know, that yes, yes, so that makes yeah, but I what I'm not and I have much anxiety and, like my family, who are very like, are like what are you doing You're? Have you always felt um different than the?

Speaker 1 17:49

rest of your family or siblings.

Speaker 2 17:50

Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 17:51

You're, you're supposed to be like that. And he says it's a superpower and it's a gift.

Speaker 2 18:09

And so yeah, Thank you.

Speaker 1 18:12

Yeah.

Speaker 2 18:12

Yeah, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Speaker 1 18:15

Yeah.

Speaker 2 18:16

Have you ever tried?

Speaker 1 18:16

acupuncture I love it. Okay, I'm not a medical professional, so please take all of this with a grain of salt. No, go on, but yeah, he just brought up acupuncture, so I don't know if you do it consistently or if you've done it in the past, but maybe try that for grounding and for releasing some of this like excess energy that's in you, because he is making me feel like there's a lot of anxiety, a lot of uncertainty. Um, thank, you.

Speaker 2 18:45

That was the other thing I asked how do I release it like, yeah, because I have been carrying it around and I'm like doing yoga and trying to just free a lot of it.

Speaker 1 18:54

Yeah, good, that's great. Keep doing that, that's great. Um, but maybe this will be another little added boost cool I will thank you yeah, um, okay, let me see what else. Did you guys go on a solo trip, just the two of you, when you were younger?

Speaker 2 19:16

or like I wish, I wish we did, but no, no, we were always group, yeah.

Speaker 1 19:26

Did your family ever visit like the grand Canyon?

Speaker 2 19:30

I know what he's getting into. Um, no, I, he wasn't with me. I was with my school, is that?

Speaker 1 19:38

what I? I yeah, he's brought up a trip in the Grand Canyon.

Speaker 2 19:41

Yeah, that was, um, uh, a trip that changed both of our lives, and it was me and I was on a trip in the Southwest with my friends from school. Okay, and he knows, that was like a game changer for, I think, everybody.

Speaker 1 19:56

Oh, okay, okay, okay. Was there some sort of loss associated with that trip? Yeah, yeah, okay. So he's, he's just um, he's bringing that up and just validating that experience and how profound it was, and not that it not that it needed to happen, because I don't think loss ever like needs to happen. Right, it's incredibly painful, but just also acknowledging, like you said, the the redirection that you experienced.

Speaker 2 20:31

Yeah, because I feel like that shifted me and I didn't listen. And now I'm getting shifted again and getting the same message like freaking, listen, this time You're going to listen this time.

Speaker 1 20:44

Yeah, yeah, do you have any questions for him?

Speaker 2 20:47

Does he have anything? Anything I need to take away or tell anybody?

Speaker 1 20:53

or Did your sister have a more? Some frat fracture in the relationship with him?

Speaker 2 21:01

yeah, I think that just the caregiving towards the end was has been really, really hard on my siblings.

Speaker 1 21:08

Yeah I just, you know, I heard, I'm sorry, he just wants to. That's okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, was he close with his mom? Yes, okay, he's just making me feel like they're together. And you know, I just heard like I'm at peace, I'm happy and I love you all.

Speaker 2 21:32

Thanks, Dad.

Speaker 1 21:33

And none of this misrubs what his religious beliefs in life like no, I mean spirit can absolutely still be religious on the other side you know I mean we are, um, we're all energy. So I think over there, when they over, I think they just have a better understanding of, like you know, perspective.

Speaker 2 22:03

Yeah.

Speaker 1 22:03

Yeah, absolutely. But let's see, Did he like suggest praying a lot as kids? Like did he want you guys to pray?

Speaker 2 22:13

every day, yeah. Yeah, I heard him say you could pray more okay, because that's something that came up in a previous reading and it kind of hurt my heart, because he's like you don't have religion and I'm like, but I have spirituality, no you, you can use religious tools in your spirituality.

Speaker 1 22:39

so he he's not making me feel like you need to go to church and you don't have religion and I'm disappointed Like that's not the energy at all.

Speaker 1 22:46

That's not the energy at all. It's um, it's almost like a cheeky way of being like, hey, you could pray more. You know, like I, if he, if he used to mention that all the time, it could be part of your spiritual practice. He loves you, he accepts you, he's proud of you for exactly who you are and how you're living your life. There's nothing you need to change, thank you. Nothing you need to change. Yeah, if, if you want to call on him, as you know, an ancestor, to help you, to help you in finding guidance and clarity on your path during this transitional time, then yeah, maybe pray the rosary, but make it spiritual. Do a spiritual practice, like do a cleansing bath and then pray the rosary or do a yoga session and then pray the rosary.

Speaker 2 23:38

Just made religion beautiful Stephanie. Yeah, something like that you know, yeah, no, that's cool. I never thought of it like that yeah.

Speaker 1 23:46

It's going to be a way to tap into him and his essence and what he loves and enjoys and respects, but also meld it with who you are and your soul's alignment you know Nice. Yeah, okay, I'm going to see if he has any final messages and then I'm going to thank everybody for coming through. Okay, the last thing I heard was he not able to meet your current partner?

Speaker 2 24:17

He met him. But, yeah, my current partner couldn't be there the last couple of visits and that that like yeah that was hard.

Speaker 1 24:28

Yeah, okay, okay. He just made me feel like your partner is a safe place, like the this, like almost like that same similar feeling of a bear hug that your dad was giving you, like I'm getting that same feeling of like when you're with this person and he approves of this person, he loves this person.

Speaker 2 24:57

I know he does, he really does, yeah, he does, he really does, yeah, and he's so happy for you and he just wants to acknowledge how warm and safe you are in this relationship.

Speaker 1 25:09

Yeah, and for you to it's. It's allowing you to be even more authentic and pursue your path. So that's what he wanted to share.

Speaker 2 25:22

Thank you so much. Yeah, oh, I'll be selling next, stephanie. Thank him thank you so much. That was so beautiful. You are spot on, chica. Oh, thank, you're going to be on fire this is only your third one.

Speaker 1 25:58

Well, I had done 50 a couple years ago, but yeah, my third one in a couple of years.

Speaker 2 26:05

Wow, you really just hit home. Thank you, you're really special. I hope you know how special and talented you are. Thank you.
