I was driving towards the local upscale mall, when I passed a cemetery that I had driven passed many times before; but since I'd professed to be a medium,  my thought atmosphere changed ever so subtly, whenever I encountered some reminder of transition.

As I drove by, looking to my right, peering into the open cemetery, I noticed a group of 20 young adults, all of them about the age of those characters from the TV show Friends, all of them huddled around a grave with heads bowed down. I could feel the sadness, and my heart went out to them. 
 
Suddenly the spirit energy of the deceased young man, was sitting in my back seat, tapping me on my proverbial shoulder explaining, "You know how I died."  
 
Yes, there he was, sitting in my back seat, wearing a black leather jacket with a helmet tucked under his arm. I noticed his helmet looked showroom new and barely worn, which made me say to him, "I guess it's obvious you weren't wearing that shiny helmet, you have tucked under your armpit." 
 
He responded, "Yeah, you are psychic, aren't you?" 
 
Then I said, "Well, come on...isn't it obvious? All your friends huddled there with all those motorcycles parked in proximity, and you in my back seat with a helmet tucked under your arm?" 
 
"You're a good translator," he said rubbing his proverbial chin, never telling me his name. He just kept on nodding and smiling with smug accomplishment as if he had chosen the right car driven by a compassionate human being with a spirit of adventure, who luckily happens to be a medium - meaning me. 
 
"Before you ask," I warned him, "Nope, I don't do that!" 
 
"But look at them," he said, "they are my friends, and it's so sad. It was all my fault. You could help them heal. All you have to do is..." 
 
"Nope!" I refused. "Funerals are sacred, and besides, I don't even know you." 
 
"What does that matter?" 
 
"You and I are strangers. Hello?"  I chuckled. 
 
"Besides," he whispered sounding like a seashell against my ear, sending me a flood of thoughts through the center of my forehead just above the bridge of my nose. These windy, blustery thoughts had the busy activity of children in them - children, which were too young to process the finality that daddy is going into the cold ground, where he will sleep forever, never to return. 
  
"Damn it!" I said, as I pulled up at the corner gas station, to turn around, and head back to the cemetery and join the memorial in process.  
 
I parked my car off to the side, walking and mumbling to myself flanked by the deceased guy, coaxing and coaching me, telling me by whom in the crowd I should stand, instructing me to say, "I'm Bryan and I've come to help you remember." 
 
"Go stand by whom?" I asked him.  
 
"By her," he said pointing up ahead, reaching his arm over my right shoulder to show the way, " by that gal," he directed, "the responsible looking one." 
 
"OOOOKAAAAY!" I said only loud enough for him to hear, as if to suggest that he (the deceased guy) was very particular, which was actually okay, because I wasn't going amongst a group of strangers to speak for someone who was too vague.  
 
I was still about twenty paces away from the group, when I finally thought to ask, "What do you want me to say?" 
 
"You're a good translator," he repeated, "You'll know..."  
 
I kept walking forward, breathing deeply, when I suddenly felt alone, like he was not next to me anymore or even around, for that matter, but present in my mind, attached to my middle brain. However, I kept walking, trying to adjust my energy to the deceased guy in order to manifest a functional, communicative, mental rapport.  
 
I was finally standing next to ‘the responsible looking female,' when I whispered my name in her ear, asking if I could be next to say a few words, while instinctively listening in, trying to catch his name from anyone in the group who would mention it....Why? Because he never told me his name. 
 
"Hey, everyone," the responsible female said, "this is Bryan and he has a few words to share." She turned and looked at me, "Go ahead, Bryan," she placed her hand at the small of my back using her other arm as a gesture of warm welcome and introduction. 
 
"Yes, my name is Bryan, and actually I am a medium, and I just met this gentleman today." I took a deep breath and then tuned-in to him as I continued. 
 
"You know, there was a time when we enjoyed the thrill of the wind in our face and hair moving at speeds that felt like flight! But then," I/he paused, "we thought we could make riding more fun, by mixing the experience with recreational activity, while bar hopping the whole time. Of course, we should wear our helmets," He/I said, "but that is easy to rationalize, except when we're not sober, because good judgement is the first to go out the window!  
 
After a while and a few more words, he (through me) compelled with a final plea, "Let's go back to the way it was, when it was fun to ride and that was all!"  
 
He (the deceased) and I were in our own ‘lucid reality,' and we had to break our mutual-exclusive connection to focus back on the whole group to acknowledge and gauge their expressive response. They were solemn.  
 
I continued, "He has children and loves holidays, so each of you will see to it that ‘my' kids get Easter and Christmas," he/I pointed to individuals in the group, singling each out to assign a holiday to celebrate with his kids. 
 
A young man standing near the center and front of the group asked, "Can I finally start dating his two X-girlfriends," he gushed, putting an arm around a girl on his left and the other female standing on the right. 
 
I being the grounded medium, took the question very seriously, and responded, "I'll ask," when laughter broke throughout the crowd, meaning the young man was trying to intentionally assert some humor back into our group interaction, in order to offset the alarmingly accurate but sad truth, I had spoken - a truth grounded with individual remorse from the painful, collective acknowledgement that we are responsible for one another.
 
After the laughter died down, I said, "That's all he wanted (me) to say, and I'm leaving now," as I turned and departed walking back to my car, carefully pacing my stride, wanting to run, afraid to hear ridicule that I had desecrated their only moment to remember. 
 
 But instead, much to my surprise and great relief, there were nothing but thoughtful, "Thank You's!" spoken individually in the distance, and then spoken in unison like the chorus of a Greek Tragedy.  
 
When I turned the key in my ignition to leave the cemetery, I heard a warm breathy, passionate, "Thank You!"  
 
I put my car in drive and said, "You're so very welcome; and I thank you," I admitted, " for trusting me to speak for you." 

THE END


Here is some additional information I added later on, because of some fun responses I got from Gaia members:

There are energies in different registers that present in different ways, bearing different messages and various agendas; and each of these aspects has something to do with their vibration:  

In other words, there are ghosts that are
1. desperate

2. sad,

3. sad but aware

4. wanting to communicate before going into the light

5. already in the light but wanting to communicate

6. not aware they are dead, but wanting to be acknowledged as alive

7. aware they are deceased but want to help someone solve a crime of which they were a non-surviving victim,

8. wanting to communicate something to save or protect someone living,     ... and the list goes on, and although the above affect their presentation and our perception of how they come across to get our attention, there are other aspects that play an important role as well, like...
 
9. some spirits don't have energy of their own to present the way they prefer, but still they try, and then you only see pieces of them  

10. and if they are from a different era and frame of mind and it has been so long that they communicated successfully with someone, in spite of being earthbound, stuck in their sad loneliness, the presentation can be very morbid and eery.  

A category separate from them all is  
11. ANGER....which is a packaging in presentation that takes advantage of any kind of fear the perceiver has ever had like,

12.  fear for the experiences in life that you made you mad,

13. experiences where you were trusting yet vulnerable and finally betrayed,

14. your own experiences wherein you were afraid, tempted, suspicious, and powerless.  

This means when you cross paths with them, you start feeling the fear of the last four kinds of experiences just mentioned above, so you don't know if you should run out the room or acknowledge that someone in spirit or energy here in your presence is very mad and full of contempt from something that happened long ago.  

All these factors can affect how they present to you or how you perceive them through the filters of your own mind like your superstitions, religion, and the urban legends you've adopted as universal truth.  

Therefore, when a ghost presents to me, they measure my nature, and know that getting my attention takes a different approach, unlike those who don't know a ghost or energy is around unless they get goose bumps, coupled with the feeling of great foreboding.   By the way, all that is not necessary to get my attention, but having a desire to accomplish something meaningful does.  

When the spirit is full of trite and is mischievous, they get my attention too, wisely saving their antics for another, but showing me how smart and cunning they are in getting an emotional reaction from others, then magnifying the energy through the fear capacitor, and then doing something really weird.  

Once the fear is established, the person becomes a psychic battery providing an endless supply of energy that lasts for months and months, which is why some ghosts haunt.... because they like the particular energy of fear a particular person or region provides, and they use the energy to feel as close to earth living as possible.  

I hope this added section makes the reading informative and more interesting.

Love,

Bryan

Creator of WHEE (Wholistic Hybrid of EMDR and EFT)

Clinical Explorations

Here are a few words from Daniel Benor, MD
When I learned about psychotherapy as a teenager, I knew that was what I wanted to do. I couldn't imagine anyone actually getting paid to do something so fascinating. I studied psychology as my undergraduate pre-med major, endured the challenges of medical school, with a year's break for an NIMH research fellowship in psychiatry and for regrouping my battered energies. I trained as a psychiatrist 1967-1973, (with two intervening years in the Air Force during the Vietnam War), when psychiatry was mostly psychotherapy.

Over the years, managed care has squeezed psychiatrist towards medication management. While I've resisted prescribing medications exclusively, it is pretty difficult to do much psychotherapy in a 15-20 minute medication visit - -the amount of time allowed under managed care.

Fortunately, I work mostly with children (in a clinic and a day hospital), and am allowed the "luxury" of 30-minute sessions because I have to speak with parents, teachers, school counselors, and pediatricians, in addition to pharmacists and managed care companies -- all in addition to speaking with the children.

Daniel speaks on his own integrative method, WHEE,  using an aspect of EFT
I constantly sought to develop ways of providing psychotherapy along with the medications, but was unable within my limited timeframe to use the psychodynamic approaches I was taught as a psychiatric resident. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR - see: http://www.emdr.org/) was a blessing to me, as well as to my clients. I was able to use EMDR with children who had post-traumatic stress disorders, as children respond very quickly to this approach -- not having barnacles on their problems like adults do. I also used EMDR to de-stress myself.

WHEE has been hugely successful for several reasons.

7 It takes a fraction of the time that EFT requires.

7 It allows for much greater flexibility in working on target problems within the
session because it is so rapid. If the child is successful but the parent is not, or vice versa, there is plenty of time to explore alternative target symptoms or alternative methods of addressing these.

7 It is better accepted and the compliance outside the therapy room is much higher because of this simplicity.

7 It works marvelously well and rapidly on pains, and is excellent for allergies, though it may take several days to be effective for the latter.

7 It is tremendously empowering, as it is so simple and so rapidly effective in self-healing.

Some words from Bryan:
Join me very soon in sharing in-depth conversation with Daniel Benor, MD as we discuss his work in conducting clinical trials to assess the efficacy or outcome of self-healing experiences when WHEE, his own hybrid approach  of self-healing based on EFT, gets used to target an issue or a dis-ease. We'll discuss the progress he's made and how his work practically relates to health care reform on all levels.

Here is a word from Pam regarding the APO E Gene Diet:
The foundation of the Apo E Gene Diet is a nutritional plan that focuses on eating the optimal percentages of "The Big Three" - carbohydrates, fats and proteins - for your specific Apo E genotype.  One diet does not fit all  because each Apo E genotype processes foods differently. There is a unique optimal combination of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins which creates the ideal diet for each of the six Apo E genotypes.  Creating this optimal balance in your diet provides the foundation for your good health.

An Abbreviated Bio:

David Russell has lived in Denmark since 1969 and has worked in the health field since 1974. He holds an M.F.A. and Ph.D. For the last thirty years, David has taught Classical Health disciplines and Spiritual Psychology in Europe, Nepal, and the USA, as well as teaching wholistic health and Ayurveda in schools in Denmark and Norway. He has studied and practiced with classical masters in Europe, Nepal, and the Middle East in Chinese, Tibetan, Ayurvedic, and Islamic medicine. He is a member of the Secular Franciscan Order and has taught ecumenical spirituality in Europe and Nepal as well as working in the chaplaincy programs at Wilmot Federal Prison and at the Tucson Medical Center.

A founding member of the Danish Society for Integrated Medicine, David was instrumental in establishing the three major clinics for Integrated Medicine in Denmark. He has been medical consultant for Stop-Unge, a Danish clinic for drug and alcohol abuse. David has also taught in several Danish Hospital Nurse training programs, and a number of Public Education Health programs.

Here is a word from David

I thank you, the visitor to this site, for allowing me to present these thoughts. In writing Healthy Solutions, I owe a great debt to Lynn Wiese Sneyd, my co-author, who helped shepherd my thoughts and form them into acceptable English. The above mentioned sections, however, are not edited. If you have the opportunity to read original texts of Classical medicine, you will find that they move from fact to poetry, from observation to vision all in the same sentence structure! Such exuberance, such awe for knowledge, wisdom, and passionate celebration of life may seem strange to us at first, but if we mark the echo in our own hearts, we will rediscover what others have known before us.

Pax et Bonum.

Namaste,
David

Here are some benefits David's site offers:

In addition to information about Healthy Solutions, this website includes sections relating to more advanced studies of Classical medicine, as links to other websites and articles of general interest.

The section called "Introduction to the Conception of Classical Medicine" contains diverse themes relating to holistic medicine and is relatively easy to understand even if you haven't had any previous background in alternative therapy.

The section "For Students" takes a deeper look into various concepts of Classical medicine and is easiest to comprehend if you have some previous background in either Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine.

Finally, the section "For Practitioners," which is more detailed, assumes that you have advanced knowledge of Chinese or Ayurvedic medicine. This menu is mostly for those who practice medicine or are therapists and wish to gain further interdisciplinary insights to enhance their own base of knowledge.

Here is a word from Bryan:
Join me for a subtle conversation with David N Russell, PhD, D.sc. about the extrordinary perspectives in our ordinary world, which inspire life-transforming  experiences in self-healing.

Did you know that Visionary Series Podcast and Workstation are about to launch?

I've been volunteering for most my life, but not until the past eight
years have I been putting my intuitive skills to the task, and these
days, humane societies' events are getting the best I've got as an animal
communicator.

What I find surprising, as animal communicator at these events, is that I
get to do medical intuitive work too, because people ask about their
pets' health, allergies, and intolerances, and I also get to be a
medium, because some pets have transitioned and human companions want to
know if the animal was 'okay' with euthanization.

Of course, I get to help bring harmony in households when several pets
don't get along, and so the scenarios are endless, especially when human
transitioned soul-minds pop in. I usually charge $5.00 per 5 to ten
minute consultations and as an option to keep the cost modest, I interact with several animals at a time, which is called a group animal reading for friends who take care of each others' animals. All proceeds go to the local shelters.

As spiritual folk, perhaps we can find a way to volunteer specifically
using our intuitive skills, since the country and world are open to
integral sharing and receiving. Consequently there may be a chance
to introduce more gifts, even the spiritual, subtle-energy kinds that have just as much value and can do a whole lot of good!

Is anyone else currently writing short stories, poetry, a novel? I am definitely interested in knowing more about your present endeavors.

Now, that I am interacting more with publishers I understand I should put thoughts into action, which I will, so as declaration to this philosophy, I share information about the books I am currently writing:

At some point in my life, the future stopped happening, and I am glad, because there is no form or shape of manifestation worth holding in my field to use as a model for what I should or would expect as a meaningful experience, yet unfolding.

Please stay tuned to my own book entitiled:

The Moment 'Future' Stops Happening
This book talks about earth reality's tertiary resonance, which is in continuum with all planes of awareness having this quality or characteristic theme in common:

Creation happens the moment an idea is conceived.

This book gives instruction on how to perceive the immediate result when thought couples with conscious will, cancelling out the time-separation paradigm, an illusion that slows down our insight into this actuality. The Moment 'Future' Stops Happening   makes clear reference to ideas from books written by Cynthia Sue Larson, Stanley Kripner, and Charles Tart, all of whom I interviewed on my podcast called, Making It All Click -- Visionary Series.

The Making of Making It All Click -- Visionary Series
This is a book or memoir of the great conversations and anecdotal moments of inspiration shared with all the wonderful guests who come on the show. This will be a priceless documentary, because the people I interview and the readers and global community they serve are invaluable!

Walk-In, a psychic thriller novel, which I am working on...
What if you agreed to a walk-in, but suddenly decided you want your life back?   If you were infused with prehistoric, present, and futuristic perspectives of what was, what is, and what always will be, could you go back to life as you know it? Walk-In, a psychic thriller, is an unsettling, but triumphant story about the power of conscious choice coupled with the mixed blessing of infinite understanding.

Bryan is presently writing the self-empowerment book Akashic Creation:
Imagine being fluent in using intuition to perceive synchronicity before it happens. I am writing a soul-searching manual explaining how visionaries perceive, desire, and become that which truly honors life's higher purpose as a benefit for family, community, and the universe, specifically through the magic of synchronicity.

Some practitioners among us may have more clients, possibly new, with experiences or energy symptons, which feel like a personal haunting.

Although we take a contemporary point of view through new age spin or rhetoric that we all draw energy and experiences for karmic lessons, some are true visitations by energy with its own intelligence.

And at times it may be difficult to distinguish a real 'visitation' from experiences caused by elementals, which are thoughts and fears that we obsess over, which end-up gathering intelligence through those feelings that belong to the original idea or insecurity.

This is different, of course, from being visited by a discarnate entity, which  crosses paths with a human through a place where discarnate memories are intense and invariably get shared with the human through his or her own intuitive nature; and now the human and discarnate entity have a thought or experience in common. This common thread is the tie that binds until the human empath distinguishes these psychic experiences and memories as energy from another source, instead of de ja vu.

Of course, these experiences are karmically planned and willed, being a part one's  life blueprint, however a well-grounded intuitive can help bring illumination, so the human can quickly realize, self-realize, and finally release both the psychic memory and the entity associated with that memory. At the core there is a spiritual  issue, which the human must acknowledge, so that there is no affinity for a similar experience.

I once interacted with a family who left a house because of an entity, and when I visited the family at the new house (at their shaman's request), I saw the entity at the older home (clairvoyantly) and became familiar with the entity's obsession. Although the  house had been on the market many months, there was no interested buyer, and we surmised that the entity made the environment on the premises inhospitable.

One night while watching The Exorcist at the point in the show where Reagan, the possessed girl, was being lifted from the bed with both priests in the throes of ardent spiritual battle for her soul, I instinctly left the television and entered my kitchen, specifically compelling the entity to go into the light and to give up on the idea that his discarnate obsession could ever bring gratification from this present spirit-earth bound perspective.

After several minutes of encouraging, empathizing and compelling this complacent, mean-spirited entity, and after deciding that he would not comply with my coaxing, I figured out it was not my battle, and then went back to The Exorcist.

The mother -wife of the household called me the next day, saying the entity came to their new house that previous night, swinging the front door wide open and walking with loud foot steps down the hallway. At first, she and her husband thought it was the teenage son returning home, but he was already fast asleep.

The next day they used a Ouija board to get more information and the spirit they contacted spelled out my name. So, the wife-mother  called me with the impression that I had mettled and inadvertantly given the entity an 'energy path,'  which he used to find their new home to reestablish his haunt. 

Knowing what happened, I said, "I did no such thing," and then I continued by asking, "Do you have an interested buyer for the other house yet?"

"Why, yes, we were notified by the realestate agent and the buyers want to proceed with immediacy."

I replied, "That is why the entity has come to you. Go to your shaman!"

 A week later the mother-wife of the household called to tell me that she (with her shaman's assistance)  performed a night-long sweat (lodge), where she was instructed to heal the entity and send it into the light.

"And did you?" I asked.

"Yes, I did," she answered.

"Well, good then. I was not supposed to intervene, but you were, and the entity would have followed you around until you did, because you lived in that house and picked up memories, which got absorbed into your personal vibration and your family's collective benevolent vibration, through which the entity relived  experiences from a recent past life and with synergy through your family's love-bond,.  This consoled his loneliness and wreckless sense of abandonment, which showed up as unexplainable, metaphysical mischief woven into the fabric of your daily lives.

(The End)

Bryan continues here:

"I would not be surprised, if some of us  start getting more intuitive cases  related to these other-worldly experiences, so be on guard, especially during this time of energy transition."

Any promise to the world worth articulating is a promise worth hearing twice.   A promise is a commitment one makes to him or herself, not another.  

If we want to believe in the promises Obama articulates on our behalf for a brighter tomorrow, wherein we all share and rejoice, then we all must commit to what it takes to create it, and commit to ourselves and each other in the process.   

A promise  is more like how co-creation happens within this plane and beyond.  

It is a well-choreographed song and dance of commitment and mutual, consensual compromise set in the universal key signature of intergalactic harmony -- flats, sharps and all accidentals allowed!

Lynn Andrews sent me some books, and I just received them in the mail.

Literally it is christmas every day, so I don't know, which will be more difficult:

(a). To physically inventory these books/CD's/DVD' s, because they are many and I need a product description for each item  using the launch program/software I am coding-writing with a friend*, or...

(b). To send these books away after gently reading and then blessing them.

I am but a momentary burst of air, like a breeze, giving these seeds of great expectation a little flight, because each book and author have already changed the world.

I have a piece of their highest aspect in my being, which is the greatest gift of support or the greatest investment ever made in me by such an inspiring group of exceptional human beings.

I hope to convey my gratitude and co-create a relatable experience, which another can internalize for her/his own emotionally intelligent growth.

Be-loved,

Bryan
