Next Steps

I have been struggling with how to use this public space- this blog. I am a medium who talks with guides and masters and God/Love/Universe/Infinite Intelligence. I can easily channel words of wisdom. Words that are elegant and wise and beautiful. Like this:

For those who have forgotten, there is nothing to fear not even death. You are right where you are supposed to be. You have nothing to fear, nothing to lose, nothing to escape. You have everything to love, to cultivate and understand. You will find away to persevere. Your road may be more difficult than the roads others travel, but your heart and soul will always be unique and strong. Please understand that God has not closed his eyes. The Power of Love is a gentle and persevering parent, watching lovingly from afar because they know that you got this. Take this day, and everyday, to remember you are not forgotten and to seek the gifts of love and support that are before you, that you may have easily overlooked in everyday life. Love, Light and Peace. Be kind to one another, above all else.

But I am also a writer. I am a human being who has thoughts and ideas and exciting insights, even if they do come out a bit less eloquently. And yes, Spirit has made it very clear that She and I are One and therefore, any words that I am able to type through the gifts of clairaudience or automatic typing are just as much mine as they are Hers. But the writer in me, the human in me, feels like they come too easily. Channeling and listening are too easy! The words that come don’t have to be fought for or struggled with. Writers are supposed to find the act challenging, isolating, and trying! That’s what higher education and Wikipedia have taught me.

In typing those sentences, I figured out how to use this space…

I will be used to explore how complicated and hard we humans make this existence. Considering that sometimes this is helpful, while other times it is painful. I mean hard isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it brings a sense of accomplishment a sense of pride, as sense of contentment. And complicated isn’t necessarily bad either.The more complicated my thoughts and story lines become, the more often I find that they all end at a similar spot- where love and connection are important, where fear creates havoc and where people have the power to grow and shift and learn.

But sometime complicated can have bad results. Take this piece of NYS legislation, people don’t even know what they are signing. And hard can lead to hopelessness and giving up.

So, this will be a mixed medium of sorts. (Pun intended) Brilliant words from The Source itself. Simple words. And then my human brain full of complexity and with the urge to create and be a full fledge individual will add some commentary. Together we can see how the human experience is one of complexity and simplicity side-by-side. Together we can explore how we can celebrate the individual body that we have in this lifetime, and still stay in the flow of Spirit and Light.

Remember, Individuality is not bad and neither is Oneness. We were given the gifts of both. It’s all about balance.

And now some more eloquent words to close us out:

From time to time no corrections are not needed, sometime the most precious gift that the Universe can give, is the reassurance that you already know what’s going on. Good job! 

A Trustworthy Guide

My name is Brandi and I live in Rochester, NY. I am a spirit talker, youth advocate and a community builder. I see no separation between spirituality and service. Spirit is meant to be active. Not only are  we the mouth of God, we are also the ears, arms, legs and hands of God.  Like Gandhi, King and other practitioners of principled nonviolence, I believe that in order to change the world, we must first change ourselves.

I practice traditional mediumship, and am an active member of Plymouth Spiritualist Church in Rochester, NY, but my strongest messages are not traditional. Rather than identify as a medium who connects directly to the energies and spirits of past loved ones.  I identify with the title given to me by my guides: “Spiritual Guide Dog.”  It is my hope that the messages I bring unhinge and open society,s inner compass; providing the guidance, nurturing strength and intuition that lives in us all, but sometimes gets buried under life's distractions.

My passion in life is people and the communities that they create. I know that our communities are only as healthy as each individual. I have a Master in Community Development and Planning from Clark University in Worcester, MA. The classes I took talked about changing systems and shifting paradigms, but not about changing the paradigm of the heart, of Revolution of the Human Spirit. It is only when we shift within ourselves,and reclaim the truth that we all are a unique part of the light that is “God”, “Infinite Intelligence”, “Love” that we will be able to heal our world and build a true community foundation. My vision is to create and sustain systems and communities that give life that protect, and create safe spaces for our souls and bodies, to learn, to grow, to create and give.

My messages often reach to the very core of purpose, paths, and passion.  What are the lessons that many of have come to learn right here in this lifetime? What are the themes manifesting at this point in history? What are the unique skills and passions that are going to keep us on the path towards knowing ourselves, and therefore knowing God?

Messages come to me clariaudiently through my guides. These are protective forces who only allow messages through that are surrounded in the highest vibrational frequencies, those meant to connect us with our higher selves and move us toward our highest and best good.

Apart from my message work, I am a youth work professional who focuses on youth leadership, youth/adult partnerships, and asset development.  I am a strong supporter and advocate of the framework of the 40 Developmental Assets as set forth by the Search Institute. I believe that young people possess some of societies' most creative minds and believe that they should be at every planning table in every community. We should be creating a society with them that allows youth voice, choice and engagement.

I love doing message work for young people. Spiritual discovery and understanding is beneficial at any age, but can be especially helpful to youth who are beginning their journey of self awareness.I believe the sooner that we can help young people see their own divinity and beauty the better. Imagine the beauty and power of young people who are encouraged to reach out and claim the essence of God that flows through their mind, heart and body. It is my dream one day to be able to run a spiritually engaged summer camp for youth where service and self discovery are explored side-by-side.
