April 2023 Spirit Messages

I am so excited to be here with your April Spirit messages. I have not felt this energy for a long time. The world of Spirit came through so strong with the message, 'Don't forget you came here to live. You came here to live an expansive life. You came here to live a life that is not meant to be easy. That is not meant to be smooth all the time. Do not forget you came here to live. We did not come here to merely survive.’

There's an opportunity coming into April to tap into this life force that is all around us. In the recording, you will hear that I feel absolutely giddy, and I hope you will feel the contagiousness of Spirit's presence. I could not get to the microphone quick enough to record these messages because it was just coming in so strong, this energy that Spirit wants people to feel.

The invitation at the end of this episode is quite new. I'm inviting you to dance with me. If you know me, you know I do not dance!

In this episode:

• We did not come here to chase the next thing constantly.

• It is up to us to continue to expand on this path and to continue to expand through the hurdles and road bumps that come our way.

• We are signifying the re-emergence of Mother Earth in the northern hemisphere.

• A big word that Spirit is giving me revitalization.

• Tap into that life force and allow it to grow inside of you.

• An activation of life force continues to move through us.

• Remember that only the most courageous have chosen to come forward during this time.

• Set out a new course for a new way of being on this planet, a new way of being in community with one another.

• We need to get uncomfortable before we can tap into a higher vision of newness.

• We can pave a path forward that is more aligned with what we want to see for ourselves, our families and the collective.

• The world of Spirit is letting us know that a new awareness is coming.

• It takes courage to pave a path that has yet to be walked.

• The guides are very close for April.

• We enter a new year for the astrological calendar of April.

• We haven't been alone on this journey; our next steps will not be misguided.

• If we are stuck in a cycle of old ways of being with ourselves and each other, we must choose new thoughts.

• We have to feel worthy of this life force and revitalization to move it through us.

• I am here to remind you that you were born worthy, and nothing has changed.

• The month of April is asking you to assess your wheel of life.

• Where does your desire for change want to guide you?

• We all are amplifiers of energy, and we get to choose what kind of energy radiates through us.

• There has been a lot of deep spiritual work in the winter months, and the world of Spirit applauds you for meeting your shadow.

• You are free to move on to a lighter path and trust that the lingering energetics of everything you worked on through the winter will be completed as you move forward.

• We have to stop thinking about things as being so linear.

• There is a lot of focus on love relationships coming up into spring; we're willing to be more vulnerable and more ourselves around each other.

• We cannot hide our deepest sense of self anymore.

• If we have not done the work to allow our most vulnerable sides to come through, we will enter this season feeling very naked.

• We are going to be finding much deeper relationships in our lives.

Lecture Series: Initiation Mediumship Q+A

For today’s episode, I am sharing a Q+A session from the most recent cohort of The Initiation so that you can get a taste of the types of topics we cover! I will be running this signature program at least one more time, and the waitlist is available below. In addition to the foundations for your first 3 years of mediumship development, I also tailor the classes and Q+A sessions to the needs of the students in the cohort, making each round of the experience unique! 

Before the episode, I shared a few Spirit School updates before I take my first break in 2023! There has been so much happening between the membership, running programs, planning the retreat, and building my physical school on the Squamish waterfront. I may be experiencing decision fatigue from the renovation, but there have been so many magical moments on this journey. I already have Sheila V, Dominic Bogue and Julie Poole scheduled to teach in the Spirit School space this year! I’ve also had money and connections appear effortlessly to provide solutions as I needed them. I’ve felt that my late mentor Mavis Pittilla has had a hand in making the Spirit School journey so magical!

Questions & Topics:

• Some of my readings are intuitive, and some mediumship, and some both. I've had a lot of people ask how often they can book a session. I just said they could whenever they feel called to do so. But I'm not really sure if there's a rule of thumb for this. What do you suggest, Danielle? 

• Avoiding codependency and taking opportunities to mentor clients in their own gifts
• Do you allow your sitters to record your readings? I know some mediums are very adamant about no recording, but this seems to be a popular request. What are the major concerns with this?
• Accepting cringe moments and shadows, and challenging “standards” in mediumship
• When did you really know that mediumship was for you, that this was something you wanted to do as a profession? Did you feel it like a calling or was it more like a slow burn?
• Could you talk a little bit about knowing when you're ready to serve the public? I'm finding that I'm always thinking I'm just not good enough and I am kind of wondering if I'll get to the point where I do feel good enough. 
• I've heard many people say it's easier to read for those who actually have a need, but then I get worried that I won't meet their need. Any insight to this? 
• I find myself asking clarifying questions during my readings to ensure I'm interpreting and discerning information from the spirit accurately. Any tips on how to get away from doing this?
• I find I do best when my sitter is more involved in the reading. For instance, when they ask questions, I receive the answers quickly. When we don't have a specific question or intention, I find the reading still works, but it's not as powerful. Any thoughts on this?
• Can you speak about when we have a hard time connecting to a sitter and what that might indicate, and maybe how to maintain a connection when you feel you're not connecting fluidly? 
• As a reader, how do you manage more than one spirit coming through in a reading? I often feel overwhelmed. 
• Have you ever used a feedback form for your sitters while you're still practicing prior to professional? 
• The importance of reciprocity

A Channelled Message from a Spirit Named G

This is a quick spontaneous episode, and if you get something out of it, share it and tag me on IG, I will happily record more like this as it's not uncommon to get channelled inspirations.

Inner Child and Outer Expression with Jenni Conn

I'm so excited to introduce you to Jenni Conn today! I was on her podcast last year and I wanted to have her on Spirit School for quite a few reasons. Jenni is a psychic medium, a spiritual mentor, and the host of The Medium Experience podcast. She's a lover of champagne and all the beauty that this world has to offer.

Jenni has been a student of mine for a while,and has done some incredible development over the past few years including going to the UK. I admire her confidence, how she shows up in the world, and I just think that she is a fantastic human being. Jenni is giving and generous in all the different spaces she occupies, and I thought Spirit School listeners would resonate with her. Our inner world experience is different from how other people experience us and Jenni shares how astrology can help us to understand the nuances of that. 

Jenni loves psychology and uses her mediumship abilities strongly with the connection to inner child and the heart chakra. In this episode, she shares how her personal challenges have influenced how she is able to help her clients through their own inner child and emotional healing processes. She also hosts retreats where people are invited to do this deep work in a luxurious environment that reflects her champagne taste.

• As a Cancer sun, she wants to soothe the inner child wound in others when it comes up
• Jenni recognized that she needed to take radical responsibility for her inner child healing
• Her psychic and mediumship gifts opened up when she started doing this work
• I had a powerful experience sitting with my inner child to heal my stage fright wound
• Jenni believes that our astrological sun sign is our highest self we evolve into
• Our rising sign is our egoic behaviour and our moon is our inner child
• Knowing the needs of each voice helps you manage your life easier

• Jenni surprised herself by doing a 365 day reels challenge despite the feminine being chaotic
• Mediumship is a medium that can be used many ways like a pencil so it can’t be compared
• Jenni uses hers to bring wisdom from the higher self rather than evidential mediumship 
• Even inspirational mediumship has an important role in advancing us as humans
• Not everyone is meant to be on TV at the highest capacity in mediumship
• Historically, mediumship is based on an external force rather than the wisdom within us
• Jenni believes that sharing what was not expressed in life is more healing than evidence
• A teacher’s views on suicide and Indigenous Spirits are partly why Jenni did minimal training
• Cancer is ruled by the moon and reflects the light of others, so Cancers impact people

• You receive a lot more information from people who influence you when you’re psychic

• Jenni hosted the Je Vois retreat (I see) a 4 day, 360 degree view of your life
• She plans events through the lens of a woman who doesn’t know anyone
• Each day starts with education, then integration and celebration to keep from being too heavy
• Je Vois is a combination of deep hard work and luxury
• The topics for the days are inner child, align body and soul, and ascend to connect with Spirit
• Jenni is collaborating with Renata for the next step, Je Crée, which is I Create
• Themes are confess your truth, commit to rewriting the contract, and conquer the outer expression
• Champagne is part of Jenni’s brand and she sent two bottles for 2 years of the Collective

Physical Mediumship with Winter Brook

Today, I am talking to Winter Brook, a psychic and transfiguration medium, reiki master, spiritualist minister, teacher, attorney, and humanitarian. We met through Mavis Pittilla's Advanced Mediumship. I did it two years in a row and we were in a circle together in the cohort we were both in. We didn't have much time to engage with one another there, but we continued to follow each other on Facebook. Getting to know more about Winter and her physical mediumship through that connection is why I wanted to have her on today. This interview also showed how Winter’s love for animals and humanitarian work overlaps with her spiritual work. She is a natural teacher and we are so excited to have her join us in the Spirit School Collective as a guest mentor for the members to experience her energy and wisdom. 

In this episode, Winter defines some of the key terms associated with physical mediumship and transfiguration to provide us with a basic understanding. She shares some of her experiences as both a sitter and a medium, giving us more context around what happens in a dark seance. Winter also talks about how skeptics going into a reading with a code word can ruin a reading because the sitter’s energy impacts the energy. The only negativity she has experienced in this work is from other humans. For those feeling that there is negative energy around, Winter reminds us that we are also spirit and can set intentions for our energy!

If you want to see the images discussed in this video, head over to Youtube around the 30 minute mark: https://youtu.be/eGG1Y8xMmyY 

Winter will also be presenting as part of the Physical Mediumship in Victorian Times event in Lily Dale, NY June 18-22. Find out more at https://www.spiritartgallery.net/

• Winter got books from the library and found out about Spiritualist churches in her area
• She is an advocate of continued education and we met through a class with Mavis Pittilla
• Lily Dale, New York is the largest spiritualist community in the US
• Spiritualism is a religion, philosophy, and science using mediumship to prove the continuity of life
• You need to be a Spiritualist for a year to live there and most homeowners are mediums
• In the summer, there would be 20-30,000 visitors pre-covid for readings and lectures
• When you go through the gate, it's almost like the energy is palpable
• There are workshops on all different metaphysical topics
• Dominic Boag is coming to teach at Spirit School and will be on the East Coast this summer
• There is a children’s week with programs so parents can go to classes
• Winter is teaching at a symposium of physical mediumship in Victorian times June 18-22
• Apports are when objects are materialized by spirit
• Transfiguration is when spirit changes the features of the medium
• Physical mediumship is usually done in the dark with red, green or blue light
• Physical mediumship has traditionally been hosted outside the boundaries of Lilydale proper
• An image of Winter’s dad with evidence was created on paper by spirit in a seance and after
• Not many mediums knew about physical mediumship, so Winter took courses to learn about it
• Mental mediumship is messages coming through for the sitter
• Sitters witness physical mediumship through the senses
• The room gets cold, and people may see, hear, smell, or feel the presence of spirit
• In transfiguration, an ectoplasmic mist builds up in front of her face and other faces appear
• Physical mediumship takes years of dedication with no guarantee of anything happening
• Elementals will elongate Winter’s ear, and recently her middle finger has been elongated
• A medium told her that she would know she’s working with an ET when her finger grows long
• In one of the photos, Winter’s face is transformed into what is clearly a man’s face
• Winter shares her opinion on Surviving Death such as how code words were depicted
• Having a code word comes from lack and prevents you from receiving other evidence
• Mediumship is not a perfect science, just as no one in other professions are perfect
• Mediums use cabinets for physical mediumship to contain the energy that is building
• Winter is tied down during transfiguration in case of unexpected movements and ectoplasm burns
• Metal jewellery needs to be removed so people don’t think it’s an apport, and to avoid interference
• Being able to communicate with animals has caused a “foster fail” for Winter with kittens
• Winter does feel some discomfort from physical mediumship but says you get over it
• As a sitter at a seance, you may feel nausea or pulling if spirit uses your energy
• Winter describes it as a 2 out of 10 for discomfort, though women have high pain tolerance
• I had a trance experience where I felt my crown being pulled and felt I needed to heal someone
• Trance is not the same as physical mediumship, but can benefit your mental mediumship
• I’ve been told by Winter and Mavis that I could do physical mediumship, but I love teaching
• Winter says the only negativity she’s experienced in mediumship is from other humans
• She does do house clearings and tries to teach people how to do it themselves
• We are all spirit, just in a different form, so you can set intentions and step into your power

March 2023 Spirit Messages

Welcome to the March 2023 Spirit Messages. This month's overarching themes are about the law of reciprocity, your interactions and knowledge exchanges, and a lot of spirituality and spiritual growth. 

 

Knowledge exchange came up in the February Spirit Messages, and I've been shifting my perspective on how I engage with my peers and with those who inspire me. I want to be reciprocal in nature to thank them for their time and energy. 

 

If I were to say that this month is to be focused on one thing, it's going be awareness around this exchange and looking at what you need as an exchange to feel filled up again.

 

As we are heading into spring, the world of Spirit really wants to bring to our attention this sense of renewal that we need to bring into ourselves. We will have some beautiful representations in the natural world around us, with Mother Earth and the abundance that comes with that reciprocity. 

 

It's a very spiritual month. A lot of the things that are coming up are around spirituality. So if you have been feeling disconnected from spirituality or disengaged from your spiritual path, this will be a really exciting month for you to reconnect.

In this episode:

• We're going to find ourselves outside and connecting with nature. 
• We give, give, give and tend to overgive as parents, but there is an opportunity to receive if we shift our perspective.
• There is the opportunity for us to be recharged and refilled by little nuances that happen every day. 
• This is going to be a month of expanding our awareness. 
• We will shift that perspective on 'how can I make this a more reciprocal experience?'
• The things that can bring us the most joy will be those little moments. 
• Be the person who looks out and takes in that moment of full presence and gratitude for the experience you're having right now.
• Reframe anxiety: 'It's like I get to experience these nerves and call them excitement.'
• Not everything that depletes us will be changeable.
• Find the law of reciprocity in existing situations and relationships.
• I don't believe we are meant to live this life without hiccups or depletion.
• We are coming into a lot of completions when it comes to the end of March - a lot of it is around stories you're telling yourself. 
• The practice of awareness and of being extremely hyper-present gives us spiritual resolve, and becoming aware of love and joy in your everyday moments will fill you up. 
• Little practices will help build the spiritual strength you have sought in other places. 
• Not everything that works for someone will work for you; spirituality, above all else, is not a one size fits all journey. 
• I need to say this directly from Spirit, 'you are not a burden.'
• Keeping so many different worries and concerns inside can lead to digestive issues, and it's time to break this cycle. 
• Release some of what you're carrying and share that load with others; it is helping other people in their karma. 
• When we are sitting and listening to people, we're not trading wounds.
• We need to ask the people approaching us, 'do you want me to sit back and listen to you? Or can you inform me when you are looking for my feedback or advice?'
• We want to get a lot more emotionally intelligent in our exchanges.
•  There are counsellors out there that will happily listen to you.
• There will be so many powerful dreams and feeling of the presence of the spirit world.
• Not everyone has the privilege of rest, but carve out time for it if you do.

From Hoping to Having with Julie Poole

Today, I am talking to Julie Poole, an intuitive psychic, healer, channeler, Reiki Master/Teacher, Professional Hypnotherapist, Coach and Author from the UK. I discovered her through her astrology forecasts on YouTube and resonated with her Virgo forecasts! I also had a reading with her, which was very accurate for what was happening in my life. Her background as a therapist and spiritual teacher are reflected in her grounded and holistic approach to her work. 

In today’s episode, we talked about our consciousness rising here on earth and how we are moving towards a Golden Age. Julie shared how aliens, highly evolved beings, are supporting us in our evolution and how we as humans will connect to each other in a new way. Her new book, From Hoping to Having, showcases her wisdom and experience with the law of attraction. Julie says that the reason many people don’t have results is that they are not following all the steps, so her book provides the foundation for you to manifest!

• HEBs want to help up because the universe rises when earth does
• I grew up in a family obsessed with sci-fi and had a fear of aliens

• Her children were brought up with her talking to spirit, using crystals, and running a circle

• Because her books are channeled, she writes them quickly, the longest taking 10 months
• Her new book is called From Hoping to Having: The Three Rs to Create Your Best Life. 
• The three parts, the three Rs are remember, reset, receive
• Remember is about your creating from your personal, spiritual and I am power 
• Reset is about reprogramming your responsibilities, boundaries and commitments
• Receiving is about kindness, gratitude, forgiveness, prosperity and health
• People feel that the law of attraction doesn’t work, but they are missing steps
• There is a separate affirmations booklet to complement the book
• You need to have boundaries in order to manifest the life of your dreams

Collaboration and Community with Emily Barnard

Today, I am talking to my dear client turned friend, Emily Barnard of The Things That Make You Go Woo podcast, and @emilyandherstars. She is an astrologist, teacher, medium, and Akashic records reader Emily was my very first online mentorship client and we have become very close friends over the past few years. We have a mutual love of history, pop culture, and memes that translates into our passion for sharing information instead of gatekeeping.

In today’s conversation, Emily and I are discussing the importance of collaboration and community on the spiritual path. To foster these types of connections, Emily created the Third Eye Library, an online space for people to explore their spiritual curiosities in a safe and supportive environment off of social media. The tagline is “Ancient wisdom, modern mystics” and there are several librarians covering a wide range of topics. 

In the Spirit School Collective, Emily will also be teaching a series of classes on Astrology for Lightworkers to help us understand how it can support us on our path.

Inconvenient Truths in Mediumship Development

Inconvenient Truths in Mediumship Development

This episode was recorded in December, and it was based on some inconvenient truths that came up when I was preparing content about being a confident lightworker. Developing confidence is not an easy path, and it takes a lot of courage to step into this work. If you are not someone who does readings or serves the public, this episode will give you some insight into how vulnerable it is to show up in this way.

Most of the inconvenient truths come back to taking action and seeing things from a higher perspective. We are here to have a human experience and that often means moving through discomfort. I hope that the truths I share provide some examples of how to build your own confidence as a lightworker, or as a human.

Feel free to share your own inconvenient truths in Spirit School, or by tagging me @squamishmedium on Instagram!

In this episode:

• The only way to get over fear is to walk through it
• I started the podcast to talk about how vulnerable it is to show up in mediumship
• Showing up publicly to do readings is a real legit fear
• Learning and hearing that you’re not alone helps 
• Confidence is on the other side of action
• People are always scared of doing practice readings the first week in The Initiation
• Despite the fear, Initiation students are glad they had practice readings week one
• Once you walk through the first resistance, you’re in the arena
• I don’t want to have regrets about not doing things because I didn’t feel ready
• The time is always now
• Everyone is waiting for a “signier sign” to know when it’s time to do something
• Having the inspiration is your soul offering the opportunity now
• If you have an inspiration, you should run with it 
• Things work out better when I do them before I’m ready than when I plan for perfection
• I have a team supporting me, so I can act on ideas much quicker now
• You can always see things from a higher perspective
• We can get stuck in the vortex of our difficult human experiences
• Sooner or later you will be asked to look at that situation from a higher perspective
• It may come externally through others, or through reflection on your healing journey
• I don’t want to bypass that some things happen to us out of our control
• “History is written, so now what?”
• I am able to zoom out and find the higher perspective quicker after 10 years of healing
• Someone’s true colours discouraged me from having readers under my brand in 2022
• When no one signed up for the agency, it only took me a couple days to let it go
• Spirit made me realize that there were other things that needed my attention
• When I am healing, I ask, “Can I see this from the eyes of the angels/spirit world?”
• You grow the most through discomfort
• We don’t change, and have less growth, when things are comfortable
• I ride the cycles of ebbs and flows with a higher perspective and acceptance
• I have seen the biggest expansion on the flow side of that ebb that I honored
• Memes are brilliant ways of expressing things in a synthesized way
• There is always a cringe after teaching or recording a podcast episode
• Cringe moments are here to teach us how to accept ourselves as we come
• Like intention, acceptance is another secret sauce to live a free and expansive life
• The healing couldn’t start until I came into acceptance with myself and what happened
• In the end, you truly are your own best friend, even if you have friends and coaches
• I had to get to a place where I could lead myself through every single situation
• You're actually not meant to bypass the human experience
• There is a lot of dialogue about ascending and replacing icky feelings with good ones
• I needed to experience the grief of losing Bender to grow as a medium
• I believe that our guides also evolve when we have human experiences

February 2023 Spirit Messages

Hopefully, you all had a good start to the new year and feel hopeful for 2023. What I have to say around February may bring you some inspiration and bring you hope and clarity on where the world of Spirit sees us moving our attention and energy next.

I know so many of you out there want to be able to share all the things that you know. So, I feel very much that Spirit's encouraging us to give ourselves a bit more space to figure these things out, see where we land, and really get clear on the intention of the ripple effect that we want to create in the future and for our future selves.

I hope these Spirit messages land for you today and this month. I hope to see you in Spirit School, and if not, I will see you on the next episode of Spirit School, the podcast.

In this episode:

• We're holding the duality of things going well and not going well and we get to choose which one we lean into
• At the end of 2022, there was sifting energy and shaking energy, trying to get the good stuff to come to the top – and there was a lot of discomfort.
• As we move into February there's a new heightened awareness about who we are and what we stand for
• Around Valentine's Day, you will have confidence and clarity around how you're choosing to spend your time and who you're choosing to spend it with
• Showing up in your own inner truth for the month of February will be lighting a path for a new way of potentially being
• I would love for people, instead of saying, 'pick your brain,' if you can present it as a knowledge exchange
• By showing up and honoring your own inner truth and worth, you’re giving other people permission to do the same.
• It’s about sifting out other people's voices and other people's beliefs and other people's analogies and phrases and terminology and really identifying your own inner truth
• If you want to go deeper into these Spirit messages sit in spiritual contemplation (suggested direction included)
• We are in a time of great divine free will and the future is still unset
• This isn’t a time to make rash decision or big pivots
• We need to reconcile our inner truth and come into a level of acceptance of it to heal it
• Start making decisions that are reflective of the future you desire, not the history and the cycles of the past
• A lot of us will start to feel a lot more contentment and start making decisions from that content place
• Spirit is celebrating us so hard; they're literally rooting us on and celebrating us
