Having Trust in Spirit to Overcome Fear

Just had a wonderful weekend away with dear friends Susie, Spencer & Sheena at the Spirit-Qest event which is held every February.

The weekend was filled with lots of opportunities to meet like minded people, attend workshops to continue my learning and most importantly... have fun!

I have to say that my highlight of the weekend was being able to help someone develop on their spiritual pathway. 

Susie kindly asked me (well in truth forced me!) to help facilitate a beginners workshop. 

Like in most workshops, people tend to be shy of putting their hand up to ask questions in a room full of people. And I have also found that many mediums are actually quite shy, the majority aren't showmen.

So I was full of admiration for a lady who got the conversation going - she has been sitting in circle for over 10 years, receiving lots of spirit links, however she had never been able to communicate a message to a recipient, she had a mental block about it and was very nervous.

I sat with her for 10 minutes and by the end of our chat she was giving a message to her friend! 

And all it took was 1 tip to get her over her mental barrier. The advice was something kindly passed onto me by my friend Bonnie a few years back and so I was naturally pleased to be able to share it forward.

I use it for both spiritual work and in my professional role, as I find its great for helping me speak in public, be it on a 121 level or in a group of people -  here it is:

• at first don't focus on your recipient or audience as your energy goes to them and doesn't stay with you
• focus on something just behind or above or to the side of them
• let your gaze and your mind relax
• and then speak from the heart
• and most importantly, have trust in spirit as fear is the only thing stopping you moving forward
