Thoughts from Suzane

Hey kids! Fall is right around the corner! I know many of you are saying, "Where did summer go?" But like everything, Nature has its own rhythm and flow. Something we can observe and learn from. "Go with the flow," as they say. And don't fight Nature or the changing of the seasons.

I for one need to take Nature's own advice, because ever since I was a child, I've had difficulty letting go of summer. Now I'm able to embrace the transition to autumn more, and am reminded of how the seasons serve as reflections of our lives. There is truly something about the coming of fall that helps us get ready for new beginnings - emotionally, mentally and spiritually - with winter around the corner.

Even if you don't expect there to be changes going on in your own life to parallel the upcoming change of seasons, there is something in all of us that naturally thinks about change this time of year. So since it's already in your psyche, consider taking advantage of the opportunity to reflect on whether there's perhaps some new beginning that you want to prepare for and make happen, maybe something you've wanted to do in the past but have forgotten about.

In preparation for some of the energy Nature can bring, I recently went through a process of "cabling" my huge pine tree. I learned that this tree was very healthy and happy, but if a winter storm or lightening were to come along, the tree could be knocked down and my house severely damaged. I needed to do something, and cabling seemed to be the answer.

With cabling, the basic idea is that one tree - in this case my sugar maple - and my pine would be "cabled" together! If the pine gets hurt, the sugar maple can be of great help. It's kind of like having a supportive friend around. In this case, my trees help each other to protect my house - in a connected community!

Speaking of community, one question that came up a few times during my recent workshop at Omega was from folks who had started meditating and were wondering why they would get headaches. For most people things soon get better, but every once in a while the headaches would return. Statistically, this doesn't happen to most folks, but if you are the one affected, what do statistics matter?

When a headache occurs while meditating, I believe it has something to do with the fact that you are using parts of your brain that haven't been active in a while. From a physical standpoint, as everyone knows, this kind of pattern holds true when you haven't been active and suddenly resume exercising - your muscles will let you know! The same thing happens when you meditate because for some time you haven't used parts of your brain that get activated when you start meditating - and your brain is letting you know!

The answer to both situations might be to do a little less and progress gradually. In any event, there is no need for alarm. You can manage this side effect. And it will be worth it. The vast majority of people who have immersed themselves in any kind of spiritual practice will tell you that meditating is often a powerful first step and one that is very rewarding.

Remember, while praying is the practice of asking, meditating is listening to the God-consciousness within. Every time we practice either of these spiritual disciplines it brings us closer to our loved ones in spirit. So do pray, and meditate, as often and as best the practices suit you.

Here's something new I wanted to share. My good friend and colleague John Edward has co-created an amazing internet spiritual network called Infinite Quest - a wonderful place to learn, and share, and have some fun in the meantime. Or as the site itself proclaims, "INFINITEQUEST.COM is Your One-Stop Portal For All Things Metaphysical. Learn about the Afterlife, Astrology, Numerology and much more. Coming this fall: Live interactive readings on your computer".

The Suzane Northrop Show
BlogTalkRadio.com

Mondays, 7 PM EST / 4 PM PST

Please Note: With my new TV show airing on HereTV, and an expanded traveling schedule, a weekly radio show has become undoable at this time. However, I am now hosting a show on Blog Talk Radio! Keep an eye on my calendar for more information.

September 14th: Joining me will be Stephen Lewis, the author of Sanctuary: The Path to Consciousness. Mr. Lewis has dedicated his life to the discovery of energetic possibilities in development of human consciousness and well-being. These techniques are described in his book.

October 5th: Returning will be Dennis P. McMahon, attorney and author of Into the Mystic (From the Streets of Brooklyn). Dennis will be focusing on his recent encounters with "the 9/11 restless spirits" who not only helped him "cure" an onset of "depression," but also led him to representing their interests in a New York court of law.

Because You Asked

The first question in this newsletter was sent to me by Robert:

Hello Suzane,

Let me start by saying I think that you are very remarkable at what you do for others, and also to say that I have listened to you on the radio here on WPYX 106.5 on Wolf in the Morning show. I have a few questions and I hope that you can help me make some sense out of this for me and my youngest daughter. Am I/are we just imagining it all?

I will start with my daughter first. She seems to have the ability to see the spirits of dead people and sometimes she sees or senses that someone one will be passing over soon to the Other Side. I do encourage her not to fear what she sees, but to use that gift, but she is frightened to do so. Is there a way that I can make her understand that is a gift? She is also autistic (low maintenance autism).

As for me, there are times I also see figures of people or shadows that pass by me and this happens on a regular basis.

Is it just us imagining this or are we in contact with the Other Side? I have seen my father and mother on several occasions, mostly my father. He has been with me while I was driving and I also have felt him and seen him while I was deployed overseas from 2004 to 2005. I lost my father in September of 1993 and I lost my mother in April of 2005. I was only back for about six weeks before she passed away. Are they both together and are they with other members of our family?

Thank you,
Robert

Robert:
Thanks so much for listening to me on WPYX where the Wolf and everyone is quite wonderful and gracious to me.

No, you are not imagining things and neither is your daughter.

Love never dies, so yes your mom and dad are both connected on the Other Side, to each other and to other members of the family who share that love connection.

Children with even a touch of autism have been know to have an increased awareness of the after-world, and an ability to connect to loved ones in spirit.

I think you're right to accentuate her not being afraid but I wouldn't put too much stress on her. Let her enjoy the experiences and let her enjoy her childhood. She'll let you know when she is ready to open up and spread her wings so to speak. I would just keep letting her know she is safe and protected continually.

I don't think you are imagining your parents by any stretch. More that they are truly letting you know they are around in ways that you can understand. I also don't think it was any coincidence that you were there for your mother after your return.

Your daughter is blessed to have a warm and supportive father like you. Hang in there, with love.

Blessings,
Suzane

This second question was sent to me by Veronica:

Hi Suzane,

I was just listening to you on Jess' show and you talked about channeling. I have passed information on to people or have spoken and shared things . . . people would thank me or say boy what I just said was really good. The only thing is I have no memory of what I just said or that I've passed on a message most of the times. Sometimes I may just remember a few words. Is that normal?

And also there are times I will say something and I remember doing so, but don't know where the information comes from and it is validated later. I've also had experiences with visits of those who have passed on, that I know are real or I can just "see" or "feel" things. Is it typical that someone can receive information in several different ways?

Also, I don't seem to have "control" over this, it just comes as it comes. I know this is a long multi-part question; would really appreciate your input.

By the way, there are other supposed psychic mediums as they call themselves but have not been able to give me an accurate reading. I had a reading with you and you were very accurate and I was able to understand things later that you said that didn't make sense to me at the time of the reading. Just wondering if you may know why that can be? Unless they aren't as intuitive as they think they are?

Thanks,
Veronica

Veronica:

Yes you are right, the process of "channeling" is when you are the vessel, if you will, of passing the information coming through you along to someone else. The technical process involves bypassing the left brain and having the information go directly to the right brain so logic can't interfere. It's like a "download" that happens very fast and when it does, there is generally no recall because there's not supposed to be, as the information is not "saved." And yes, some people can receive info in several different ways, and we don't always have much control. What you describe happening to you is "normal" for sensitives. And quite often information you get in a reading will make more sense later- it's just the way it is sometimes.

When we become the conduit for information, the data is to be passed on and not to be retained. This is what all true mediums and intuitives understand. Their job is not to hold onto what is not their business, so to speak.

I have said and will say a million times, it is not my job to say whether another medium is credible or not. That is up to you. I believe you are astute enough to know to have sessions with those who can give you the information credibly and with integrity. I believe you would ask for the best quality of any service provider, and/or be referred to someone by those you trust. Be it for your own health, or the health of your child, or any other important service. This sensible approach should apply with mediums and other intuitive professionals as well.

Hope this helps.

Blessings,
Suzane

This final question was asked by an anonymous writer:

Hi Suzane,

I wanted to first let you know that I saw you for the first time a few months ago when you came to the Albany area and all I can say is WOW! You have been blessed with such a tremendous gift. You provide such an enormous comfort to so many and I thank you.

Now here's the question: Two years ago last week, my best friend's husband's uncle finally passed on. They lived directly across from each other and the house has been empty since his death. There is a real estate security lock on the house and no one has been inside due to legal issues. All of the uncle's belongings remain in the house. The uncle and nephew were extremely close. The uncle was a very strong figure.

Recently, my friend's dog woke up them up in the middle of the night to go out, something the dog never does. After going outside to let the dog out, the husband stopped for a cigar and looked across the street at his uncle's house. The entire place was lit and the door was open. The police were called but found nothing - no forced entry and no one was in the house. What would your take be on that?

Dear anonymous writer,
Thanks for your kind and supportive words. I've been doing events in Albany for a long time and love it! I'll be there again in the spring . . . so keep posted.

I would say that that your friend's husband (the nephew) got a "Wow!" visit from his uncle. It is really clear to me that the uncle was letting everyone know that he was in his house for all that were able to see, especially his nephew. And of course the dog was on top of this from the beginning!

DPs can come in so many different ways. Physical manifestations like this are much more common than we think.

I would also add that since there are legal issues and no one's allowed inside, I'm sure the uncle is checking in to make sure things are dealt with the way they should be. No coincidence that his favorite nephew saw this energetic event taking place. And very telling that the dog never behaved like that before.

Blessings,
Suzane

On a Personal Note

I'd like to end this month's newsletter with a quote from the complete works of Swami Vivekananda:

Inspiration is much higher than reason, but it must not contradict it. Reason is the rough tool to the hard work, inspiration is the bright light which holds all truth.
