Small intimate group mediumship readings are both powerful and very special for those who attend. It’s a time when participants come to realize that life truly is eternal, and our family and friends who have passed over, are never far from us in Spirit form. Group readings can be emotional, but they are often filled with laughter and hope. As an evidence based medium, it gives Emily immense joy to connect with the Spirit of loved ones and pass along their healing messages, wisdom and sometimes humorous meanings, in a safe, supportive and intimate setting. Her goal would be these gatherings give all who attend a good understanding of the afterlife and what happens when we leave our physical body and cross over. As far as the several people who come through in these readings, it’s important not to get locked into just one person as she gives you the evidence. Along those same lines, she cannot promise who will come through in a group reading, it depends on the needs of those in Spirit, and who is best person to help you with your own needs. Group readings often contain messages of universal guidance and wisdom from your loved ones that can benefit the whole group.

Drumming for Theta: The Relaxed Mind Through Rhythm - Drumming repetitively at about four beats per second, has been proven to relax the mind, inducing either Alpha or Theta in nearly all participants in studies on the effect of drumming. An abstract from the US Library of Medicine by Professor Winkelman, concluded, from a study: “Research reviews indicate that drumming enhances recovery through inducing relaxation and enhancing theta-wave production and brain-wave synchronization. Drumming produces pleasurable experiences, enhanced awareness of preconscious dynamics, release of emotional trauma, and reintegration of self. Drumming alleviates self-centeredness, isolation, and alienation, creating a sense of connectedness with self and others. Drumming provides a secular approach to accessing a higher power and applying spiritual perspectives.”

"Part of grieving is not finding a way to give love to someone or something that you once loved. This expression you once had to give or accept love seems lost. Opening your heart to new ways to show your love can fulfill that expression.”
