Engaging in rescue mediumship has always been significant for me. Since the onset of my journey, I felt drawn to the profound task of guiding confused or lost spirits toward the light.

I first encountered this process in advanced mediumship courses at my spiritualist church. A few times yearly, we convened in meditation circles guided by a remarkable reverend who created a nurturing and sacred environment for spirit communication.

The aim of these sessions was both simple and profound: to assist earthbound spirits who were unaware of their passing or were struggling to transition into the afterlife. These souls, often disoriented and confused, required a gentle nudge (or occasionally a firmer push) to achieve eternal peace beyond.

Our rescue circle, which typically consisted of around eight participants, would sit quietly, attuning ourselves to the spirit realm. One after another, spirits would come forward, communicating through one of us. We would hear their voices in our minds, or sometimes even channel them directly, mimicking their speech patterns or behaviors. The reverend facilitated the dialogue by posing questions to reveal the spirit’s identity and narrative. Who were they? What had occurred? What memories did they hold?

These encounters were profoundly emotional and often etched in my memory. One of the earliest I recall involved a young boy who reached out to me. He was hiding under a bed, unaware that he had perished in a house fire. The image was striking: the foot of the bed had collapsed, forming a small triangle of shelter. We then called his mother from the spirit world, gently encouraging the boy to take her hand and step into the light.

Another spirit we encountered was that of a young mother sitting on her kitchen counter, puzzled by the silence enveloping her home. She was oblivious to the fact that her entire family had died in a car accident. While others had moved on, she lingered, lost in her sorrow and confusion. With her usual grace and wisdom, the reverend connected the woman with a senior family member, allowing her to reunite with her husband and children.

Earthbound spirits – essentially individuals who have not fully transitioned to the afterlife – are omnipresent, seeking resolution and desiring guidance towards the light. Like any of us, they are souls in need of assistance ~ Amy Major

Not every case was straightforward. Once, I encountered a soldier clad in full uniform, musket in hand, searching for his unit. He was resolute and skeptical, hesitant to accept our help. Yet, our group leader knew precisely what to do. Instead of calling a family member, the reverend summoned his commanding officer. With a decisive command, the spirit saluted and followed his superior into the light without a word.

There were also moments of levity. For instance, one day, a cheerful Southern gentleman came through, slurring his speech while sitting in a rocking chair, suspenders pulled tightly. He was blissfully unaware that his moonshine still had exploded, taking him with it! His makeshift apparatus was bound to fail at some point due to lack of safety standards. It required patience and a good deal of laughter to help him concentrate enough to transition.

These stories exemplify the diverse and profoundly human nature of these encounters. Each spirit, like each person, possesses a unique history, emotional landscape, and reasons for remaining attached to the earthly plane.

What Is Rescue Mediumship?

So, what defines a rescue medium? While the term might evoke images from television dramas or ghost-hunting programs, genuine rescue mediumship is a sacred, compassionate calling. It entails aiding earthbound souls who have not fully transitioned after death, helping them find their way home.

Differing from mental or evidential mediumship, which concentrates on conveying messages from deceased loved ones, rescue mediumship resembles spiritual ‘social work.’ It demands patience and discernment, alongside a structured approach that typically includes four core elements: communication, counseling, clearing, and guidance.

Communication. Employing psychic abilities such as clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), and clairsentience (feeling), the rescue medium establishes contact with the earthbound spirit. This connection facilitates awareness of the lost soul’s identity, emotional condition, and reasons for their earthly ties. Such details are crucial for building trust and fostering understanding.

Counseling. Numerous spirits linger due to unresolved trauma, guilt, fear, or grief. A compassionate medium can provide comfort and reassurance to address these emotional barriers. Sometimes, all a spirit needs is to be acknowledged and validated. At other times, they require assistance in confronting painful truths.

Correction. Severing unhealthy attachments can be necessary when a spirit’s presence impacts the living. Earthbound spirits may tether themselves to locations or individuals, particularly if they feel a strong emotional bond or have unaddressed concerns. While many attachments are harmless, others can be disruptive. Rescue mediums delicately release these spirits, returning balance and harmony to everyone involved.

Charting. With assistance from spirit guides, angels, departed loved ones, and ancestors, the rescue medium encourages and directs the spirit to move on by revealing pathways or guiding them toward the “exit.” This stage often involves visualizing light, elevating the spirit’s vibration, and facilitating their transition to the other side.

Ghosts frequently have unresolved earthly matters. They remain here because they seek more physical sensations, may fear what awaits them in the afterlife, or, more often than not, are simply inquisitive ~ James Van Praagh

Why Spirits Stay Earthbound

The reasons a soul remains tied to the earth are as numerous as humanity itself. Some spirits may not comprehend that they have passed away. Others might be held back by fear of judgment, attachment to loved ones, or traumatic experiences related to their death. Emotional distress, unfinished business, or mere confusion can also bind a soul to the earthly realm.

Fortunately, no spirit is ever truly isolated. Even when they cannot sense them, spiritual guides and loved ones are perpetually nearby, waiting for the appropriate moment to intervene. A rescue medium serves as a bridge between the spirit and these awaiting helpers.

In certain instances, spirits may attach themselves to individuals who remind them of loved ones, in search of comfort or closure. While some attachments are benign, others may harbor negative intentions. Rescue mediums are adept at gently extricating these attachments and providing healing for both the spirit and the person affected.

Residual energy constitutes another phenomenon frequently misinterpreted as a haunting. These are not spirits in the strictest sense, but rather emotional imprints left behind by intense events. Rescue mediums can clear this energy, contributing to a restoration of calm and emotional clarity in the living environment.

Misconceptions & Ethical Practices

It’s crucial to recognize that rescue mediumship does not entail interactions with non-human or malevolent entities. That type of engagement requires different skills. Rescue mediums also steer clear of the sensationalism often associated with paranormal investigations. Their focus remains consistently on healing and resolution, not spectacle.

This work is sensitive and should only be conducted by trained, ethical practitioners. The spirit world and the vulnerable souls that seek help deserve our deepest respect.

Every spirit rescued, every attachment cleared, and every energy healed illuminates not only the spirit world but our own lives as well. Rescue mediumship serves as a reminder of our interconnectedness, affirming that life continues beyond death and that divine love, grace, and compassion transcend all boundaries.

A rescue medium’s purpose is to guide spirits, educate the living, alleviate fear, and foster understanding. This sacred endeavor offers closure and tranquility, affirming that no one is ever truly lost.

Rescue mediumship is an extraordinary and impactful practice designed to communicate with lost or trapped spirits to aid them in achieving peace and progressing to the subsequent stage of their spiritual journey. This type of mediumship is frequently employed in situations where a soul finds itself ensnared in confusion, fear, or turmoil, hindering their ability to transition to the afterlife.

One fundamental manner in which rescue mediumship aids lost souls is by offering them guidance and support as they navigate the afterlife. Numerous souls who feel lost or trapped may not understand that they have passed away, or might be too distressed by their circumstances to seek the light. A rescue medium can assist these souls in understanding their situation while providing the reassurance and comfort necessary for them to release earthly attachments and move forward.

Moreover, rescue mediumship helps lost souls by eliminating any negative energies or entities that may be preventing them from transitioning out of their limbo state. Occasionally, souls may be hindered by unresolved trauma, guilt, or fear, which can manifest as heavy or dark energies that obstruct their progress. A rescue medium can work to dissipate these negative energies and establish a nurturing environment for the spirit to heal and let go.

In addition to providing guidance and purging negative energies, rescue mediumship can facilitate connections between lost souls and their loved ones on the other side. Many souls may hesitate to cross over due to concerns about leaving family and friends behind or because of unresolved feelings or unfinished business with their loved ones. A rescue medium can enable communication between the soul and their loved ones, allowing for goodbyes, forgiveness, or simply the closure required for them to move forward.

Overall, rescue mediumship serves as a powerful instrument for aiding lost souls in finding peace and closure. By offering guidance, clearing negative energies, and facilitating communication with loved ones, rescue mediums can support souls in releasing their earthly ties and transitioning to the next chapter of their spiritual journey with tranquility and grace.

The spirits of our departed ones occasionally interact with our tangible world to demonstrate their continued presence. They may rearrange items in our homes, such as keys, books, or decorative objects, particularly those that held sentimental value during their lives.

It is quite common for a beloved item to disappear from its rightful place, only to be rediscovered later in the most unexpected locations.

This type of spiritual activity tends to occur when we are reflecting on them, or during emotionally charged moments, serving as a comfort or affirming their presence. It is never arbitrary. It acts as a gentle reminder that their essence remains close by.

When I was about 20 years of age, I had an in-depth, personal session with a remarkable spiritualist medium whom I called Nan Lightfoot. My father learned about her through the nearby spiritualist church, and it turned out she was an elderly lady living just two blocks away from our home.

A lovely friendship quickly developed between us. I helped her with shopping and errands whenever possible, until I eventually departed England for an extended period.

After returning from grocery shopping and putting items away, Nan would brew us a cup of coffee. Throughout our numerous discussions, she would occasionally provide profound insights channeled from her spirit guides. Often, right amidst a regular conversation, she would unexpectedly switch from English to a broad Welsh dialect. These instances of Welsh conversations indicated that Nan was channeling a message from one of her ancestral guides.

Once you start discussing apports, you’ll be surprised at how many individuals recount experiences where items appeared in seemingly random spots, with no logical explanation for their presence ~ Chris Cliff

She would bow her head and recite something in Welsh, then abruptly cease. Coming out of her trance-like state with a bewildered look, she’d slowly roll her head before calmly delivering the English translation of her guide’s message.

During one of my initial channeling experiences with Nan Lightfoot, she mentioned a young spirit girl around me who identified herself as “Lali.” Nan explained how the little girl pointed towards a body of water and described her features in detail.

I instantly recognized who she was referring to. The girl had been my friend during my childhood in the Canary Islands. Like me, she was a lonely child from a show business family. Tragically, Lali drowned on the beach on Christmas Day, just before we left the Islands, and Nan indicated she had since connected with me.

However, what followed astonished me. Nan Lightfoot then shared, “Lali says she enjoys playing in your jewelry boxes.” I must confess I had often pondered why they were always in such disarray. The items would be tangled and messy, and being somewhat obsessive-compulsive about organization at that stage in my life, the chaos was perplexing. Now everything made sense. But it didn’t trouble me at all, as long as Lali was having fun!

A few years later, I considered that perhaps the trauma of Lali’s drowning and her attachment to me were hindering her from moving on. Thus, I worked on encouraging her to transition forward into the Light.

Apports were once a common occurrence in spiritualist séances, where mediums would produce flowers, fragrances, and bizarre objects claimed to be gifts from the present spirits ~ Lux Ferre

Apports Across Cultures & Spiritual Traditions

This captivating phenomenon holds longstanding cultural and spiritual importance across various belief systems globally. In these perspectives, the sudden and unexplained emergence of physical items is not merely a curiosity but a significant event interpreted as a direct form of communication from the spirit realm.

These items, often small and appearing ordinary, are seen as sacred gifts or symbolic messages. They serve to reassure the living of a loved one’s ongoing presence, signify a moment of spiritual awakening, or provide emotional closure. From ancestral offerings in indigenous customs to relic manifestations in religious mysticism, these occurrences have historically been honored as tangible expressions of the unseen, connecting the material world with realms beyond.

In Shamanic traditions across the Americas, Siberia, and parts of Africa, items such as stones, animal remains, or herbs are known to appear during rituals or healing ceremonies. These are interpreted as gifts from spirits, meant to assist in healing, divination, or convey messages from ancestral entities or nature spirits. In Afro-Caribbean spiritual practices like Santería or Vodou, items may manifest or be moved by spirits during rituals as part of offerings or messages from the orishas or ancestral spirits.

In Hinduism, instances of holy ash (vibhuti), sacred objects, or even food offerings cropping up during rituals or in the presence of advanced yogis are regarded as signs of divine intervention or blessings from deities. In Catholic mysticism, the sudden appearance or unprompted relocation of relics, rosaries, or objects associated with saints, sometimes during ecstatic experiences or at pilgrimage locations, is viewed as miraculous. Such apports are considered significant signs of divine presence or intervention.

In Spiritualism, this phenomenon is termed an apport. The term “apportation” denotes the spirit phenomenon where objects emerge, vanish, or relocate without any visible external cause. An object that appears or has been moved in this manner is termed an “apport.” Therefore, apports are items that materialize from thin air or are mysteriously relocated without being touched.

The word “apport” in spiritualism stems from the French term apporter, meaning “to bring.” One of the earliest documented instances of an apport occurred in 1819 during a séance attended by Dr. G. P. Billot. Midway through the meeting, a dove unexpectedly fluttered around the room and dropped three slips of paper, each inscribed with the name of a saint: St. Maxime, St. Sabine, and Many Martyrs. The occurrence was considered so momentous that it was recorded and subsequently published in 1839.

Apports gained traction during the height of spiritualism, particularly in Victorian-era séances. Physical mediums produced items like flowers, coins, or even live animals as evidence of spirit presence and communication. Famous mediums of the time, such as Daniel Dunglas Home and Eusapia Palladino, became well-known for their impressive physical mediumship demonstrations featuring apports. Sir Arthur Conan Doyle also extensively discussed this phenomenon.

In recent years, the topic of apports has largely waned among spiritualists and is not as frequently examined or analyzed as in prior times. Nevertheless, it remains a subject of interest for certain researchers and paranormal enthusiasts ~ Steve Parker

Research On Apport Phenomena

While apports are often linked to Victorian séances and ancient mysticism, contemporary research shows this phenomenon continues to captivate scientists, psychic investigators, and spiritual practitioners alike. Recently, a series of well-documented cases have emerged, demonstrating that apportation is not simply an ancient myth or deception, as is frequently assumed.

From controlled séance experiments to spontaneous materializations recorded by modern technology, these recent accounts provide compelling evidence that the spirit world’s capacity to influence matter is valid, though elusive.

Some of the most intriguing modern examinations of the apport phenomenon include:

Amyr Amiden (1993 – 1994)

Noted parapsychologist Stanley Krippner reported on the fascinating case of Brazilian psychic medium Amyr Amiden. Known for his knack for manifesting apports, Amiden participated in a series of controlled studies. During trance-like states, he produced small items such as gemstones, jewelry, coins, and medallions, often under rigorous observational guidelines.

What made these sessions particularly intriguing for researchers was not solely the spontaneous appearance of objects, but also the environmental anomalies linked to them. Krippner and his team documented unusual variations in the Earth’s magnetic field coinciding with several apport events. These geomagnetic variations, although subtle, hinted at a potential connection between changes in the electromagnetic landscape and the facilitation of paranormal events.

The Scole Experiments (1993 – 1998)

Carried out by David Fontana, Arthur Ellison, and Montague Keen in the UK, the Scole circle produced physical mediumship occurrences, including apports, direct voices, and materializations of objects. Researchers captured photographs, audio recordings, and claimed physical artifacts. Despite being contentious due to methodological objections, it remains one of the best-documented modern séances featuring apports.

Herbert Baumann (1965 – 1985)

Herbert Baumann, a German physical medium who operated under the alias “Jons Dave,” was meticulously studied by Illobrand von Ludwiger, a friend and direct observer of over 100 spirit apports. These apports were noted both during séances and in ordinary life.

Many of the stones he apported contained distinctive, unexplained internal crack formations that rendered them fragile and unlike any natural damage; this perplexed jewelers and scientists alike. Analyses failed to reproduce the unique crack patterns or thermal signatures of these items under controlled conditions.

Baumann’s apports often occurred in conjunction with trance states, poetic expressions from spirit communicators, and a noticeable warmth upon their arrival. Occasionally, items would show up in sealed containers, float in mid-air, or emerge from his body. Some seemed to be produced on request or appeared following specific requests from participants.

Jack Hunter

Dr. Jack Hunter, an anthropologist focused on the study of the paranormal, investigated modern mediumship for his Ph.D. His work Manifesting Spirits (2020) is a direct outcome of this research, centering on a private spiritualist group based in Bristol, UK.

Hunter applies meticulous and advanced methods to study these events, improving upon the documentation techniques used a century ago. His findings indicate that physical mediumship, where spirits produce tangible effects like knocking, moving items, and apports, is still actively practiced in private séances and circles around the world. The experiences reported are remarkably similar to those described by participants in the 1800s and early 1900s during the rise of spiritualism.

UPIDE Spontaneous Psychokinesis Case (2021 – 2022)

A notable modern case of apports was examined in Mexico City from 2021 to 2022. Researcher D’León Macías and the UPIDE group investigated a married couple who experienced the unexpected appearance of coins, medals, wilted flowers, and even apples in their residence. This is a classic indication of the apport phenomenon, which was once prevalent in 19th-century spiritualism.

The incidents predominantly centered around the husband but also occurred in the presence of the wife. To unravel the enigma, researchers equipped infrared cameras, conducted psychological and neurological assessments, consulted spiritual practitioners, and documented real-time footage of coins manifesting. This case exemplifies one of the few contemporary inquiries that fuses scientific exploration with spiritual insights into spontaneous spirit phenomena.

What exactly apports are remains uncertain. All that is known is that these items are as tangible as any material object can be. The origins of these objects are harder to identify ~ Jaime Licauco

How Spirit Manifests Messages Through Matter

A wealth of documentation exists regarding apports as signs, tokens, or mementos from the spirit realm. Shells, small keepsakes, fossils, coins, feathers, flowers, and even items previously misplaced by the participants can abruptly emerge from nowhere. These objects fit into several captivating categories:

Natural Objects: Flowers, leaves, pebbles, crystals, feathers, and even small birds or insects may appear as signs from the spirit world. These gifts act as gentle reminders from nature, imbued with spiritual significance.

Personal Items: These can be jewelry, tokens, or other significant objects associated with a deceased loved one. Their sudden return commonly represents a direct and heartfelt message that their spirit lingers nearby.

Symbolic Objects: Some items possess a unique, often private significance for the recipient. Although they may seem random or trivial to others, they carry profound symbolic meaning for the individual fortunate enough to encounter them. These objects can provide insight, affirmation, or emotional clarity.

Sacred / Ritual Objects: Apports may sometimes take on the form of spiritual or religious items such as prayer beads, crosses, or protective amulets. These are typically seen as signs of divine support or reassurance during moments of spiritual awakening or necessity.

Scent Apports (Clairolfaction): An inexplicable and sudden fragrance, such as that of a specific flower, their beloved perfume, or even the scent of cigarette smoke, may arise without a physical source. These aromas often represent the spirit’s signature or a means of announcing their presence.

Taste Apports (Clairgustance): This less common type of apport consists of an unanticipated taste in the mouth, often linked to a loved one’s favorite dish or a shared memory. These flavor impressions extend subtle comfort, connection, or emotional messages from beyond.

Even though public séances featuring dramatic apparitions and apports are less frequent today, the fundamental understanding of these spirit interactions remains both significant and valid. In modern households, the phenomenon of apports often surfaces in more nuanced ways. For example, one might rediscover a long-forgotten item or find a loved one’s gift in an unexpected location.

If you have encountered similar unexplained occurrences at home, the concept of apports provides a meaningful framework. It validates these events as authentic spiritual activity and can bring comfort, a sense of connection, or even a glimpse into the continuity of consciousness beyond this existence.

Apports, even when not directly experienced, remain a potent symbol within spiritualism. They illustrate the potential for spirits to influence the physical world and reflect the profound interconnectedness of all realms of existence.

The phenomena surrounding apports are not characterized by sensational displays, but rather by the quiet, significant moments of interaction between the spiritual and physical dimensions, often taking place within the private, sacred space of one’s home. They function as reminders that reality is continually evolving and that the spirit realm is always nearby, gently impacting our lives in invisible ways.

This month’s card is the Major Arcana’s Strength, symbolizing deep inner resolve, patience, and compassionate control. We are encouraged to explore our inner selves and acknowledge the quiet, enduring bravery that rests just beneath the surface.

The Strength card famously depicts a serene, self-assured woman gently influencing a formidable lion. Her white attire represents purity and spiritual clarity, while the lion embodies raw feelings, instincts, and unrestrained desires. The infinity symbol hovering above signifies timeless wisdom and the equilibrium between the physical and spiritual realms.

This imagery perfectly illustrates the synergy between bravery and compassion. Instead of overpowering the lion with fear or brute strength, the woman tames it through affection and comprehension.

Her tranquil presence mirrors her inner strength and her dedication to responding thoughtfully rather than impulsively. Ultimately, the scene portrays the victory of the spirit over the ego and the mindful over the reactive.

Rather than seeking dominance through control or aggression, the Strength card highlights that true mastery arises from the heart, expressed through calm perseverance, loving intent, and unwavering self-confidence.

The card calls for emotional equilibrium, encouraging us to act from our higher selves, especially amidst chaos or obstacles. Now is the moment to connect with your spiritual core, trust your intuition, and transcend fear with the grace of one who understands their value.

Whether facing personal hurdles, seeking emotional recovery, or stepping into a leadership position, the essence of Strength is akin to a lioness supporting you: fierce yet calm. This month will be a significant opportunity to amplify your voice, establish boundaries that serve you well, and present yourself and others with authentic brightness. Allow your spirit to resonate, not in hostility, but in divine assurance.

The lion’s bravery is forged in the fires of hardship, and its roar encapsulates the spirit of triumph over adversity ~ Rashida Rowe

Here are the primary areas of focus for this month:

Health & Well-Being

With Strength guiding you, August is the perfect time to revitalize your energy and cultivate a more nurturing relationship with your body and emotions. You might feel drawn to incorporate gentler, holistic healing practices, such as yoga, breathwork, or energy modalities. Prioritize sustainable health habits this month that foster long-term wellness over crash diets or extreme routines.

On an emotional level, Strength encourages you to reconnect with your inner child. You may uncover suppressed fears or past injuries that merit understanding rather than judgment. Trust your ability to bounce back. You’re not meant to force healing, but to create an environment that fosters it. Let patience and self-kindness steer your recovery, whether it be physical or emotional.

Money & Finances

In the financial realm, the Strength card prompts you to exercise thoughtful restraint and calculated confidence. This is not the moment for impulsive purchases or overly risky financial moves. Instead, take control over your finances with wisdom and poise this month. Budgeting, saving, and planning for the long haul will yield far better results than pursuing quick gains.

If you find yourself under financial pressure, tackle it with bravery and maturity. The card suggests that solutions lie not in anxiety, but in your capacity to navigate calmly and make empowered choices. You might also feel inspired to pursue income opportunities that resonate with your passions or principles, particularly those that allow you to lead with heart and authenticity.

Career & Business

Strength in the workplace is characterized by stepping into leadership through emotional acuity and stability. August may test your character, perhaps through a demanding boss, a tricky project, or a high-stakes choice. Nonetheless, your achievements will stem from handling these occurrences with elegance. Remember to respond thoughtfully, not impulsively.

This is a time to articulate your truth with diplomacy and assurance. Those who remain steadfast yet fair will gain recognition. If contemplating a career shift, seek positions that enable you to motivate others, advocate for fairness, and support healing and growth. Your bravery in pursuing a meaningful journey will be duly acknowledged.

Love & Relationships

Regardless of your relationship status, strength will usher healing and genuine connection into your love life. This month, relationships will thrive on patience, open-hearted dialogue, and mutual regard. Should tensions arise, the card advises a gentle yet firm approach: create space for the emotions of others without absorbing their turmoil.

If you’re single, this energy will assist you in attracting partners who equally value your strength and vulnerability. Remain open, yet never dim your light for anyone. Those in relationships may need to navigate challenges that ultimately enhance their closeness, especially if both partners are willing to grow together instead of dominate.

Personal Growth

This August, spiritually and emotionally, offers a rich opportunity for empowerment. The Strength card invites you to liberate yourself from limiting beliefs, quiet your inner critic, and follow your intuition. You are encouraged to extend the same compassion you afford others to yourself.

Additionally, this month is a chance to reclaim your narrative. Whatever has caused you to feel diminished in the past—be it fear, failure, or rejection—can be reinterpreted through the lens of resilience. Tools like journaling, therapy, or energy healing can assist you in rewriting these narratives. Remember, your spirit is unbreakable.

Let August be a chapter of quiet strength, sacred confidence, and fierce grace. The lion within you is ready to awaken.

As August 2025 unfolds, it’s crucial to pause and reflect on the energies enveloping us and how we can navigate them gracefully and powerfully. One compelling card that often surfaces during this time in tarot readings is the Strength card.

The Strength card, the eighth in the Major Arcana, is depicted by a woman gently soothing a lion. This card signifies inner strength, bravery, and resilience. It serves as a reminder that we harbor the capacity to overcome any challenges we encounter and to confront our fears directly.

In August 2025, the Strength card may beckon us to access our internal reserves of bravery and fortitude. This could bring moments where we are confronted with obstacles or tough situations, prompting us to dig deep and muster the strength to persist. It may also be a period requiring us to face our fears and insecurities to advance along our path.

When the Strength card emerges in a tarot reading, it signifies the importance of believing in ourselves and in our capabilities. It encourages us to have confidence in our inner strength and to trust in our resilience. This is a message of empowerment and assurance, reminding us that we can handle whatever challenges arise.

In the context of August 2025, the Strength card may indicate the necessity of finding balance in our lives. It could signal a time to prioritize self-care and self-love, nurturing all aspects of our physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being. By addressing our own needs and honoring ourselves, we can fortify our internal reserves and approach any challenges with poise and confidence.

Overall, the Strength card in August 2025 stands as a potent symbol of resilience, courage, and inner strength. It urges us to trust in ourselves and our abilities, and to confront our fears with bravery and grace. By accessing our inner power and seeking equilibrium in our lives, we can navigate the energies of this month with assurance and determination. Continue reading →

Creative expression acts as a crack or gateway into another segment of ourselves… leading us into our intuitive and spiritual essence. Engaging with our creativity is to unlock that door of potential.

Doubt about our creativity often arises when we compare ourselves to others or to renowned artists from history. The life stories and creations of master artists served as reminders, indicating that creativity isn’t a product of instruction, but rather an inherent quality. Engaging with this essence involves experiencing it firsthand, in whatever manifestation it takes.

I embarked on a painting journey as a hobby in my late 20s, initially driven by a wish to acquire painting skills, even though I believed that my Finance and Accounting background limited my creativity. I had never perceived Art as a healing medium or recognized its personal therapeutic value.

At the outset of my art journey, I delved into art books and explored the lives of various artists. I also became part of a local art group. One day in class, I felt compelled to depict the Buddha. As soon as I grasped my brush, I sensed a presence beside me and envisioned the face that would soon grace the blank canvas, long before it became apparent to anyone else. That artwork significantly redirected my life path as I embraced my creative and spiritual talents.

Approaching an empty canvas is akin to saying yes to life and the uncertainty of what lies ahead. There are numerous advantages to affirming ‘yes’ to painting. It lets us articulate ourselves through our creations, offering a moment to reflect on our lives and the meanings we assign to our experiences.

Every artwork or creative endeavor can serve as a new conversation, or a fresh page in the story of our lives, each piece holding unique significance. Timeless Wisdom, depicted in the image above, stands as a reminder that my inner wisdom is perpetually within reach, even during instances of feeling lost.

The physiological response heightened for a stunning creation just as it does when gazing at someone cherished. This indicates that art triggers a pleasurable response directly to the brain ~ Prof Semir Zeki

Art narrates our stories and enables communication with those who might not fully comprehend our spoken words, instead connecting through our visual expressions. Participating in group art classes also fosters social interaction, allowing connections with individuals from varied social and cultural backgrounds, facilitating enriching and rewarding experiences.

As we enhance our skills in pursuits like painting, the competencies acquired carry a sense of agency over our circumstances beyond the canvas. Painting serves as a powerful metaphor for life—it encompasses every experience, sorrow, and joyful moment as they compile the layers of our life’s masterpiece.

Sometimes, viewing life, akin to a painting, from a different angle reveals its true value and beauty. It is during these moments that we gain the chance to make alternative choices and focus on what truly matters to us.

Certain paintings may never adorn the walls, serving as a reminder that not all relationships and experiences endure. Some connections require additional care, attention, and deeper layers of understanding.

If a painting’s composition is flawed from the start, no amount of layering may rectify it. Similarly, there are fundamental principles and human needs that must be met within our relationships for love and harmony to flourish.

There are instances when breaking away from traditional composition and artistic conventions leads to remarkable art. Can you envision a world devoid of the masterpieces created by Monet, Van Gogh, and Picasso, to name a few? They were pioneers who ventured into uncharted artistic territories, illustrating that there remains an abundance for us to create and share, free from the constraints of historical works.

Your talents dwell at the intersection of your values, passions, and strengths. Finding that intersection is the initial step toward crafting your masterpiece, Your Life ~ Michelangelo

When an artist embraces life experiences and channels them into their work, it becomes a reflection of their journey. It renders personal experiences accessible to viewers, providing them with an opportunity to embark on their own inner journey through the healing energy radiating from the art.

Beautiful visuals inherently foster subtle feelings of well-being and joy in those who appreciate and derive pleasure from their beauty. The benefits of art and creativity are universal.

Our distinct creativity can bridge the gap, guiding us back to our hearts. It serves as a means to find tranquility and comprehension as we navigate through life. I hold the belief that everyone possesses their unique ‘space’, an endeavor or passion through which they can feel this connection—be it painting, writing, composing music, or tending to a garden.

For each individual, this experience is unique, yet once found, it becomes unmistakable. Time appears to freeze and a seamless flow emerges. In that zone, the desire to depart diminishes, but even upon leaving, the effects of the connection remain with you, resonating throughout every facet of your life. If you’ve identified it, cherish it and remain true to it.

Creativity serves as a mighty force capable of transforming and healing individuals in deeply significant ways. Whether manifesting through art, music, writing, or other forms of creative expression, connecting with one’s creative essence can yield numerous advantages for mental, emotional, and even physical health.

One of the key ways creativity can inspire transformation and healing is through offering a means for self-expression. Many individuals find it challenging to articulate their thoughts and feelings verbally; however, engaging in creative expression allows them to communicate in a manner that feels genuine and impactful. This avenue can be particularly advantageous for those who have encountered trauma or are grappling with challenging emotions, as it enables them to process and release these feelings in a constructive and healthy manner.

Creativity also possesses the ability to motivate and elevate individuals, encouraging them to perceive the world anew. When immersed in creative activities, we can tap into our imaginations and explore fresh possibilities, which can be profoundly empowering. This sense of potential can be especially beneficial for those feeling stagnant or trapped in their circumstances, as it allows them to break free from limiting beliefs and envision a more promising future.

Moreover, research indicates that creativity positively influences mental health. Engaging in creative activities has been shown to alleviate stress, anxiety, and depression, improving overall well-being. This effect arises from creativity’s capacity to center our attention on the present moment and immerse us in tasks that evoke joy and fulfillment. In this respect, creativity can act as a form of mindfulness, fostering a state of calm and presence.

Beyond its mental health benefits, creativity can also exert a healing influence on the body. Studies suggest that participating in creative endeavors can strengthen the immune system, diminish inflammation, and even reduce pain levels. This is because creativity stimulates the release of endorphins, the body’s natural mood enhancers. By investing in creative pursuits, we harness this innate source of healing, promoting comprehensive wellness.

In summary, creativity wields the power to profoundly transform and heal individuals. Whether through painting, dancing, writing, or any other creative form, engagement in creative activities can significantly enhance mental, emotional, and physical health. So, the next time you find yourself feeling overwhelmed or stressed, consider tapping into your creative side, and witness how it can facilitate healing and personal growth. Continue reading →

I realized that I possessed the gift of spiritual healing many years ago during a visit to my father in the hospital. He was in significant discomfort, and something compelled me to gently touch the knee on which he had just undergone surgery. My intention was solely to comfort him, but I noticed his face transform from excruciating pain to immediate relief. This struck me as a miraculous moment!

The next profound healing miracle occurred when one of my twin daughters, at around 8 years old, was ice skating. I was observing the children relishing the beautiful winter day when my daughter unexpectedly slipped and fell. Her agonizing scream is etched in my memory. I instinctively knew something was seriously wrong! By the time I reached her, others were already assisting, but her screams persisted. Hearing her in distress pierced my heart like an arrow.

Upon reaching her, I immediately noticed the bone sticking out through her skin. I placed my hands over the fracture on her forearm and softly said, “It’s okay, it’s okay.” Instantly, she ceased crying and exclaimed, “Mommy, it doesn’t hurt anymore.” I was astonished, as were the onlookers.

I supported her arm all the way to the hospital, but once we arrived, they insisted I remove my hands. Again, I had to endure the sound of my daughter screaming in pain, feeling utterly helpless.

After they stabilized her arm, they allowed me to see her. I laid my hand on the cast and instantly sensed it was improperly fitted. Initially, they were reluctant to believe me, but I persisted in asserting that something was amiss. Eventually, they consented to a second x-ray, which revealed that my daughter’s arm was indeed misaligned. Consequently, she required another procedure. A nurse asked me how I knew. I chose not to respond.

A healer’s power is not derived from any unique ability, but rather from the courage and awareness to embody and express the universal healing power inherent to every human being ~ Eric Micha’el Leventhal

Once the second cast was applied, I felt reassured that her arm was properly positioned. However, another issue arose. I sensed that the cast was digging into her bent arm. Once again, my concerns were dismissed. To this day, my daughter bears a profound scar from the cast’s pressure on her arm.

Throughout the years, I have increasingly recognized my healing capabilities. I now regard it as a privilege to be endowed with such a gift, yet I have never perceived the healing as originating from me. I am merely the vessel or channel. The healing flows from a higher power. This talent has been invaluable over the years, though I do not boast about it. It is simply reassuring to know it exists.

My guides have provided significant assistance in helping me understand more about spiritual healing and energy medicine. For instance, I have learned that when you place your hands on someone to facilitate healing, you must first “air wash” their entire aura to cleanse the energy. Once you sense heat emanating from the injured area into your hands, do not allow it to dissipate into the atmosphere; instead, envision placing it in a jar and sealing the lid. Additionally, be cautious not to absorb it into your own body, as some people inadvertently take in the energy they are meant to remove.

What Is The Gift Of Healing?

The spiritual gift of healing is an ancient and esteemed ability recognized across various cultures and religious traditions. From esoteric doctrines to mystical practices, healing is regarded as a deep connection to divine energies, allowing the healer to channel these energies to restore health and balance.

The universe and our existence within it result from a complex interplay of energies, and each individual embodies a microcosm of this larger whole. Spiritual healing focuses on restoring harmony and equilibrium within the energetic systems of the body, mind, and spirit. The healer serves as a conduit for divine or universal energy, facilitating the recipient’s return to a state of balance.

This spiritual gift is considered miraculous due to its profoundly transformative and supernatural characteristics. It surpasses conventional understanding and taps into the realms of faith and divine intervention. Those who possess this gift can channel divine energy or power to bring about physical, emotional, or spiritual healing for those in need. The rapid or inexplicable recoveries observed through this gift frequently defy medical rationale, often leaving both recipients and witnesses in a state of awe.

Modern Healing Miracles

Here are just five instances of people who have reported experiencing miraculous spiritual or faith-based healing:

Andrew Strom: Evangelist Andrew Strom shares his personal account of healing from a persistent eye condition. Despite medical predictions indicating irreversible damage, he claims to have undergone sudden and complete healing during prayer.

Anita Moorjani: Diagnosed with terminal cancer, Anita experienced an overwhelming sense of love and acceptance during a near-death episode. Upon regaining consciousness, she felt an unprecedented peace, and her cancer mysteriously went into remission. She attributes this transformation to her spiritual awakening.

Bruno Groening: Groening, a German healer, channeled divine energy for healing. Thousands reported recovery from various ailments after attending his gatherings. While some of these healings may have medical explanations, the sheer volume and diversity of cases challenge easy clarification.

Delia Knox: In 2005, after a car accident left her paralyzed from the waist down, Delia attended a healing event where she felt a sensation in her legs during prayer. Astonishingly, she stood up and walked, surprising herself and those around her.

Harold Fuller: Born blind and raised in a religious environment, Harold fervently prayed for vision. He reported a remarkable healing during a religious service, wherein he regained his sight completely, with no documented medical explanation.

Jaxon Buckley: Diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and given weeks to live, Jaxon’s family turned to prayer. He reportedly had a vision of Jesus, and shortly thereafter, scans revealed a significant shrinkage of the tumor, leading him into remission. There is no scientific rationale for this striking change.

Jean-Pierre Bely: The Frenchman Jean-Pierre Bely, afflicted with multiple sclerosis and wheelchair-bound, visited Lourdes in 1987 to bathe in the waters of the Grotto. Following this, he noted a gradual enhancement in his condition, ultimately culminating in full recovery.

Numerous documented cases of unexplained healings have garnered verification from medical professionals over the years.

Kathryn Murray: After a car accident left Kathryn paralyzed from the neck down, she dedicated herself to intensive prayer and meditation. Gradually, she regained some movements and ultimately learned to walk again, a recovery that medical science cannot entirely clarify.

These narratives illustrate firsthand accounts of individuals who attribute their healing to spiritual or faith-based experiences, providing support for miraculous interventions that extend beyond conventional medical reasoning. It is essential to acknowledge that these instances represent just a few examples, and scientific consensus regarding miraculous healings is not always present. Factors such as misdiagnosis, spontaneous remission, or the placebo effect may come into play. Nevertheless, for those who encounter such events, they hold deep significance and serve as testaments to their faith.

Jesus Christ: The Divine Healer

Jesus Christ stands as one of the most prominent figures associated with healing gifts. The New Testament chronicles numerous instances where Jesus healed the sick, restored vision to the blind, and even resurrected the deceased. His healing miracles are viewed as expressions of divine compassion and omnipotence. For instance, the Gospel of Matthew (8:16-17) states, “With one word he drove out demons and healed all who were sick, fulfilling what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases.’”

Jesus performed extraordinary healing acts. He restored the sight of a man who had been blind from birth by making mud with his saliva, placing it on the man’s eyes, and instructing him to wash in the Pool of Siloam. Subsequently, the man regained his sight. A paralyzed individual was lowered through the roof of a house where Jesus was teaching; Jesus forgave his sins and instructed him to stand up and walk.

Jairus, a leader in the synagogue, implored Jesus to heal his dying daughter. Even after learning of her death, Jesus approached her, took her hand, and commanded her to rise. She came back to life, underscoring His dominion over death.

A Roman officer asked Jesus to heal his incapacitated servant. Jesus, impressed by the centurion’s faith, healed the servant from a distance, exemplifying that faith—not proximity—is the key to healing. Jesus also cured ten lepers who cried out for mercy, sending them to show themselves to the priests; they were cleansed while on their journey. Only one returned to express gratitude.

Jesus serves as an exemplary model for contemporary spiritual healers. The numerous healings he carried out, as recorded in the Gospels, showcase his compassion, spiritual authority, and divine connection. They illustrate his capacity to heal an extensive range of physical, emotional, and spiritual ailments, providing hope and restoration to those in distress. Through these actions, Jesus reaffirmed the significance of faith, the power of divine love, and the spiritual potential for miraculous transformation in our lives.

The Wounded Healer Archetype

The wounded healer archetype holds substantial significance in the realm of spiritual healing, shaping how healers perceive and approach their practice. The most effective healers often draw from their own experiences of adversity, trauma, or personal challenges to empathize with and assist others.

This archetype underscores a healer’s ability to relate to others in pain. Having personally faced challenges, healers possess a deeper understanding and connection with the struggles faced by those they seek to aid. This empathy fosters genuine compassion and support, vital components of the healing process. Through their own trials and tribulations, healers undergo transformation and growth, gaining insights and resilience that enhance their healing practice. This personal healing journey equips them with wisdom that can significantly benefit others seeking wellness.

The wounded healer archetype encourages healers to embrace their vulnerabilities and imperfections. By acknowledging their own wounds, healers cultivate authenticity and humility in their work. This transparency creates a secure and trusting environment where healing can flourish, allowing clients to feel understood and accepted without judgment. The shared experience of overcoming hardship serves as a powerful impetus for healing, as healers narrating their own struggles inspire hope and encouragement in those they assist. This collective journey reinforces the belief that healing is attainable for everyone.

Although healers often leverage their wounds in their practice, the ultimate aim is to transcend personal suffering and facilitate healing for others. By channeling divine or universal energy, healers become conduits for healing forces that surpass individual pain. In this capacity, they emerge as beacons of light and catalysts for change in others’ lives.

Ultimately, the wounded healer archetype enhances the spiritual gift of healing, infusing it with empathy, authenticity, and transformative potential. By embracing their own wounds, healers access a deeper well of compassion and wisdom, empowering them to guide others on the road to wholeness and healing.

I recognized some time ago that I possess an intrinsic compassion, and the power of compassion is a trait that healers embody and utilize ~ Ricky Williams

Signs Of The Gift Of Healing

Do you have a profound yearning to see others healed, both physically and emotionally? Are you instinctively drawn to environments or practices centered on healing, such as prayer groups or faith-based healing services? Do you often feel compelled to support or offer prayer to individuals who are ill or facing difficulties? Have you witnessed or experienced beneficial outcomes after praying for someone’s healing? It’s essential to acknowledge that this does not assure a gift, but it can indicate one.

If you responded affirmatively to any of these inquiries, you might possess the spiritual gift of healing. Here’s a list of indicators suggesting you may have this gift:

Intuitive Insights: You often experience intuitive flashes, gut feelings, or a profound understanding of others’ physical, emotional, or spiritual states.

Heightened Sensitivity to Energy: You are attuned to subtle shifts in energy and may perceive tingling, warmth, or vibrations in your hands or body during interactions with others.

Healing Dreams / Visions: You may have piercing dreams or visions related to healing, receiving guidance or being immersed in a healing atmosphere.

Strong Empathetic Capacity: You readily feel and understand the emotions and experiences of others, often forming a profound connection with their pain or distress.

Comfort With Physical Touch: You have an inherent inclination towards touch, finding solace in offering physical support or comfort to others through hugs, hand-holding, or gentle touches.

It’s important to recognize that these signs are not definitive proof of your potential as a gifted healer, but rather indicators of possible innate healing abilities.

Spiritual healing is a method utilized for ages to foster physical, emotional, and mental well-being. It is rooted in the belief that a spiritual energy can be directed to aid in healing the body and mind. This energy is commonly referred to as universal life force energy, chi, or prana.

One primary advantage of spiritual healing is its capacity to alleviate stress and foster relaxation. Stress triggers the release of cortisol, a hormone that can negatively impact health. Spiritual healing aids in balancing energy and alleviating stress, promoting better bodily function and healing.

Additionally, spiritual healing can enhance our emotional health. It can assist in releasing negative feelings such as anger, fear, and sadness, while encouraging feelings of peace, joy, and love. By clearing emotional obstacles and fostering a positive energy flow, spiritual healing helps cultivate balance and centering.

Beyond its emotional and physical advantages, spiritual healing also positively influences mental health. It can cleanse the mind of negative thoughts and beliefs, promoting clarity and focus. This can lead to improved decision-making, better relationships, and enhanced overall well-being.

Spiritual healing can be practiced in various formats, including meditation, prayer, energy healing, and Reiki. Many also seek the guidance of spiritual healers, who are trained to channel healing energy to foster balance and healing within the body and mind.

In summary, spiritual healing is a potent instrument for improving health and wellness on all levels. By connecting with the universal life force energy that envelops us, we can foster healing, mitigate stress, and elevate our emotional and mental health. Whether practiced individually or with the assistance of a healer, spiritual healing can be a transformative and empowering journey for those aiming to enhance their overall health and happiness.

This week brings a breath of fresh air. After the upheaval experienced over the last fortnight, the astral energies finally align for a softer cadence.

We commence the week on a productive note, thanks to the Virgo Moon providing insight, clarity, and motivation to finish tasks. It’s an ideal moment today to resolve outstanding issues, address your to-do list, and create a more organized atmosphere. Your endeavors today establish the foundation for a more fulfilling and balanced week ahead.

In the late morning*, a gentle quintile between the Moon and Jupiter fosters positivity and altruism. You may find yourself lending a hand to a coworker, offering counsel, or simply appreciating the little things in your life. This fleeting but significant moment enhances morale and reminds us that even small acts of kindness hold great power.

Midday presents a lovely Venus sextile to Chiron, allowing for emotional healing and self-acceptance. You might have the chance to engage in a deep conversation or reflect on a past hurt that is finally ready to be released. With Venus in clever Gemini and Chiron in courageous Aries, this configuration supports the sharing of your vulnerabilities in constructive and brave ways.

In the afternoon, the Moon joins forces with Mars in Virgo, amplifying our capability to take action. This transit is favorable for managing tasks that require attention to detail, strength, or perseverance. You may feel an inner urge to initiate movement, repair what’s lacking, or express yourself where you’ve refrained from doing so. Just remember to avoid becoming overly critical or perfectionistic; channel this energy into improvement, not flawlessness.

As the evening approaches, the energies become slightly more intricate. The Moon creates a quincunx to Chiron, stirring emotional unease related to past wounds, soon followed by a square to Venus. These factors may spark minor misunderstandings in relationships or leave you feeling momentarily misaligned with your desires. If you experience moodiness or unease, grant yourself compassion and engage in self-care activities. A calming bath, journaling, or simply disconnecting from your phone might provide the relief you need.

We will start to seek security, closeness, and genuine emotional ties. Relationships become more sentimental, and familial bonds deepen. This Venus cycle is perfect for domestic activities, romantic connections, and nurturing the bonds that provide you with the most safety.

Thursday, July 31: Spiritual Depth

Midday, the Moon shifts into intense Scorpio, drawing us into a deeper emotional tide. The lively, liberating vibe of earlier in the week transitions to introspection and spiritual longing. Scorpio Moon days are ideal for shadow work, emotional breakthroughs, and pursuits demanding depth and soulful commitment.

Don’t be surprised if your intuition feels heightened or if you’re drawn to the mysterious, metaphysical, or transformative experiences. This is a time for inward reflection, meditation, or engaging in activities that cultivate psychological or spiritual insights.

Friday, August 1: Inner Truth

Scorpio’s transformative energy persists, urging us to look beyond the superficial and connect with our inner truth. Though the day might feel quite serious, there is quiet strength in emotional honesty and discernment. Steer clear of drama or unnecessary confrontations; this is a day best spent safeguarding your energy and focusing on profound, essential tasks.

Maximize Friday by closing out the workweek with mindfulness. Clear away emotional or energetic clutter and dedicate some time to personal healing or spiritual realignment. Your weekend will benefit from the space you create today.

Saturday, August 2:  Gentle Transition

Saturday marks a transitional day as we prepare to move from emotional depths to light-hearted exploration. With no significant aspects today, it’s a great opportunity to progress at your own speed. Respect your emotional cycles and grant yourself the gift of relaxation, or engage in activities that bring you serene joy, like journaling, tarot reading, or spending quality time with a close friend.

Sunday, August 3: Joyful Exploration

The Moon moves into adventurous Sagittarius in the early morning hours, setting the stage for an uplifting and expansive Sunday. This is your green light to embrace spontaneity, venture into new experiences, and welcome joy. Whether it’s a nature walk, brunch with loved ones, or diving into a creative endeavor, follow your curiosity and do what brings you happiness.
