I Longed for the Manifestation

As a Medium my calling in life is to bring through Spirit which has passed to the other side and to give comfort to those who have lost loved ones on this earth plain. When my mum died in January 2008 I fully expected her to come through to me shortly afterwards. However, the days, weeks and months went by and…..nothing! I began tormenting myself with such thoughts as ‘a Medium who I can’t even bring her own mother through’! The boot was suddenly on the other foot and I began to realise why people, who have lost loved ones, need the services and comfort given by a Medium.

During her lifetime my mother and I would often say that whichever of us passed over first would manifest herself to the other and, on the assumption it was likely to be my mother passing first, the experience would help me in my mediumship by proving survival after death of the physical body. The lack of contact was therefore even more frustrating.

It was a beautiful sunny day on Thursday 26th June 2008 and exactly 5 months 3 weeks and 2 days since my mum had passed to the world of Spirit. On that day I was feeling particularly low, missing her dreadfully. I felt as if I had been hit by a huge wave. Bereavement turns our world upside down; the pain never really goes away and we just have to learn to live with it. She would often say “you should spend more time with me because you’ll miss me when I’m gone”. Howe true those words were.

I was walking my dog Zimba, a Rhodesian Ridgeback, through a friend’s woodland; it is such a beautiful place with a breathtaking bluebell wood and the River Blackwater passing through it on its way to Southampton Water. It is such a peaceful place and no-one else in sight. I feel so much closer to Spirit when I am there. Zimba was splashing about in the river as I stood in the shallows by the bank and suddenly my thoughts of my mother turned to anger at her lack of response to my continual prayers for her to make contact with me. My anger turned to uncontrollable tears and I just wanted her to appear and console me. In desperation, I looked up to the heavens and screamed as loud as I could, “why don’t you come and see your daughter? Why have you abandoned me? You promised you would come back and see me. Don’t you love me anymore, out of sight out of mind, I suppose”? If anybody had seen my outburst they would have thought I’d gone mad. Thankfully, dogs can’t talk but even Zimba looked at me rather strangely!

I walked back to the car and went home and whilst nothing happened that day I did feel a lot better by just getting my feelings off my chest. I forgot all about moment and didn’t even mention it to my partner, Barry.

Over the previous few weeks we’d been hearing some very strange noises in the house at night. Our house is about 200 years old and whilst you expect to hear a few creaks these noises were more like thuds and bangs as if someone was trying to break in. Interestingly, the noises always occurred at the same time, 3.15am. That night we went to bed quite early; I was feeling quite emotionally drained and Barry had had a busy day. At precisely 3.15am I was suddenly woken by the voice of my mum saying “OHHHH”. Prior to her death she had suffered a severe stroke and “OHHHH” was one of the very few words that she could utter. Barry was fast asleep but the noise came directly from him, from the pit of his stomach. He made the noise again but this time much louder and, as he did so, my mother overshadowed him. It was clearly her voice but coming through Barry. I sat bolt upright and my heart was pounding, and yet Barry was totally oblivious to it all!

As I looked to the left of Barry, my mum was standing by his side fully materialised and alongside her was my cousin Peter, who had died some years earlier. Mum looked radiant and at peace with a serene smile on her face. She just stood there in a wonderful glow looking at me; no words were exchanged but the room filled with an amazing sense of peace. Even being a Medium and used to seeing Spirit I found the experience quite frightening and yet amazing at the same time!

I nudged Barry, which is something I shouldn’t have done but I did instinctively. I wanted him to enjoy the experience but, of course, as soon as I woke him mum and Peter disappeared. However, my mind was suddenly filled with the words, “ask and you shall receive”.

I just wanted the experience to go on and on but my hasty actions curtailed the manifestation. I then questioned my fear and it made me feel somewhat stupid. After all, it was my mother for goodness sake. However, it was worth the wait and she came to me when I was in most need. In my heart I knew she hadn’t forgotten me and she just need time to adjust to her new surroundings. I now know that she will come back on other occasions, again when I need her and when she can help me.

It’s funny, but after that night we never heard the strange noises again. I believe Spirit was building up the energies to make her manifestation possible. They knew in advance and were ready for when I was most in need.

The next day I was jubilant, on cloud nine and couldn’t wait to tell all my friends of my mum’s visit. I was left feeling extremely privileged at my experience. Many people never see or witness such materialisation and I felt truly honoured. I could now talk with such conviction and passion about my own experience and share it with others.

Such experiences are truly wonderful and whilst they don’t make the pain of missing loved ones disappear they do help and, as a Medium, I hope that I can use my experience to help others.

My favourite quotation on inspiration

"When you work only for yourself, or for your own personal gain, your mind will seldom rise above the limitations of an undeveloped personal life. But when you are inspired by some great purpose, some extraordinary project, all your thoughts break your bonds: your mind transcends limitations, your consciousness expands in every direction, and find yourself in a new, great and wonderful world. Dormant forces, faculties and talents become alive, and you discover yourself to be a greater person by far than you ever dreamed yourself to be."

Patanjali, founder of Yoga sutras, 2nd century b.c.

Stress

A lecturer when explaining stress management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked 'how heavy is this glass of water?'

Answers called out ranged from 20g to 500g.

The lecturer, 'The absolute weight doesn't matter.

It depends on how long you try to hold it.

If I hold it for a minute, that's not a problem.

If I hold it for an hour, I'll have an ache in my right arm.

If I hold it for a day, you'll have to call an ambulance.

In each case, it's the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.'

He continued,...

'And that's the way it is with stress management.

If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later,

As the burden becomes increasingly heavy,

We won't be able to carry on.'
'As with the glass of water,

You have to put it down for a While and rest before holding it again.

When we're refreshed, we carry on with the burden.'

'So, before you return home tonight, put the burden of work down.

Don't carry it home...

You can pick it up tomorrow.

Whatever burdens you're carrying now,

Let them down for a moment if you can.'

So, my friend, put down anything that may be a burden to you right now.

Don't pick it up again until after you've rested a while.

Here are some great ways of dealing with the burdens of life:

Accept that some days you're the pigeon.

And some days you're the statue.

Always keep your words soft and sweet.

Just in case you have to eat them.

Drive carefully. It's only cars that can re "Recalled" by their maker.

If you can't be kind, at least have the decency to be vague.

If you lend someone £20.00 and never see that person again,

It was probably worth it.

It may be that your soul purpose is simply to be kind to others.

Never put both feet in your mouth at the same time,

Because then you won't have a leg to stand on.

Nobody cares if you can't dance well.

Just get up and dance.

Since it's the early worm that gets eaten by the bird, sleep late.

It is the second mouse that gets the cheese.

When every thing's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.

A truly happy person is one who can enjoy the scenery on a detour.

Have an awesome day and know that someone has thought about you today.......

I did.......

My 'Spiritual' Journey

My personl 'spiritual' journey has been exciting, extremely challenging at times and somewhat lonely but, nevertheless, absolutely rewarding. I had to go through many life-changing experiences to understand what my calling was in life.

My mission as a medium is to prove life after death. Re-uniting the two worlds together is such a great privilege giving comfort and inspiration to those in need.

My journey is far from over and I would like to share my experiences with you all. I am now able to share my gifts with you through large audience demonstrations and at private one-to-one sittings.

Thank you for taking the time to read and for supporting the work that I am doing and please feel free to comment on the blog or to ask any questions.

Demonstration of Mediumship

I'm doing a demonstration of mediumship come along if you're free it's at the Mowlem Community Room in Swanage on Saturday 12th September 7-30pm. Please ring Gillian Baggott for the availability of tickets on 01929 401 571.

Chris Evans - Radio 2 Morning Show

A lot of negative things have been said about Chris Evans in today’s Press, I came across Chris purely by accident as I was flicking through the channels on my radio; he wasn’t how I remembered him. He has certainly mellowed and matured considerably, it was a great pleasure to listen to his show. He’s got energy, wit and a sharp sense of humour. I’m sure he’ll adapt to what the listeners expect of him.

We all know that he has some big shoes to fill but he’s no “thick arse”, taking a helicopter’s pilot’s license doesn’t come easy. So you TOGs out there; give the guy a chance and welcome a new chapter in Radio 2.

I’m sure he’s watching closely with interest to all the comments that have been written about him. Let’s give him a chance as it’s in his best interest to make the Morning show a success. Change happens for a reason, let’s embrace it. We all have a past but hopefully we learn from our mistakes in life. Are you the same person you were 10 years ago??? No I bet you think you’ve changed for the better. Hopefully you’ve changed and have grown from the experiences from the past!!!

If you listen with the attitude that you won’t like the show then you won’t. I’m sure Chis has a lot to offer and I think he’s ready for this new and positive challenge, I believe in perfect timing. Good Luck Chris, give it your best, I know you’ll be perfect.

Watch your 'Thoughts,' they become words.

Watch your 'words,' they become actions.

Watch your 'Actions,' they become habits.

Watch your 'Habits,' they become character.

Watch your 'Character,'for it becomes your Destiny.'

Mum Passing to the spirit world

My mum died in January 2008 after suffering a stroke 3 years previously. The stroke changed her life forever; she could no longer speak normally and became partially paralysed down one side, her lack of speech caused considerable frustration to her not being able to express herself or join in on conversations anymore. Whilst her vocabulary was limited she would come out with 2 classic phrases - "Hello Darling","Bloody Stupid" and "OI", showing us all that her character was still very much alive.

She was just trapped in her body; we didn't know how much brain damage was caused by the stroke, so when we were conversing with her we didn't know what she could understand. For me, a big part of mum had already died and I hated to watch her suffer as she was a person who had a good sense of humour and fun to be with. She was extremely dignified always putting others before herself. "I don't ever want to be in a position where other people have to look atfer me" she would often say, "I would rather die than suffer". You wouldn't put an animal through so much humiliation or suffering.

Mum's life on earth was not the happiest, living in a loveless marriage for over 30 years. My father had had an affair over that period with another woman. I could never really work out why mum stayed with him as he didn't deserve her loyalty. I guess she must have loved him in her own way, or maybe there was a deep sense of fear. He became a different man leading a double life and treated everyone with sheer contempt.

I'm convinced that my mother's stroke was very much part of her lessons in life; nothing happens by chance or coincidence and it set her free from the day to day anxieties from my father. The nursing home became her home and the nurses and helpers became her extended family. The carers in the home were fantastic and gave her the unconditional love that she had been denied for years.

Even though I was a medium I found, the reality, of my mum's impending death very hard to accept and comprehend. People always think Mediums cope better because they believe in the afterlife; well I can tell you, that is not true as much as it's a comfort you still miss the physical contact and presence terribly.

I wanted to be there for her actual passing and decided, no matter what, I was not going to leave her side. One night as I sat in the small lonely hours beside her, I prayed and asked her soul that she would give me the honour and privilege to watch her passing to the spirit world. I have been told on many occasions in sittings what it's like from the dying person's point of view when they relive their experiences from the spirit world, but I wanted to know and witness it for myself.

When we were told by the doctors that the moment was drawing near, my sister and I sat in her room by her side waiting, It's quite distressing watching the final process of death taking place and listening to the choke breathing; it was extremely labour intensive for mum. But, she hung on till my father eventually arrived. Then all of a sudden I beacame aware that the temperature in the room started to change and it became colder and there also appeared to be a foggy atmosphere building up, I then could see as clear as day "Robbie" my mum's favourite dog, a west highland terrier, which had died many years ago, also my mother's father whom she adored. I called out to my sister to see if she could see the same but, she was far too upset and frightened to look, I found the whole experience fascinating but also devastating at the same time.

Our grandfather had come to greet and take my mum peacefully off to the spirit world for the long awaited rest she so deserved and where her loved ones who had gone on before her could be re-united once again. She could the adjust to the transition and new environment she now found herself in. I'm sure they've been partying ever since!

When the time eventually came her spirit just sat up and rose upwards away. She was at peace with a serene look on her face and the room filled with a tremendous tranquility even though she had left her body. She was at last FREE form the metal pain, anguish and torture from my father's abusive behaviour over the years. After all, death is only birth into the spiritual realms.

I couldn't bear the fact that I would never be able to talk to mum ever again physically. She would never be able to tell me that things would be alright when I was upset or give me a cuddle at times of distress. I would never hear her laugh or get told off by her again, I knew I'd miss our telephone conversations too.

Losing a parent or someone close affects us all in different ways. The pain never goes away you just learn to live with it and in time the pain isn't so acute. You're left with an emptyness, but at least I have many fondand wonderful memories of mum and I couldn't wait for my first spiritual visit............... which I hopefully would be soon. No doubt I thought that she'll be nagging me more than ever once she's learn't of spiritual communication, which I longed for.

I once read an article about Fern Britton's depression, she said "it's like standing with your back against the shore never knowing when a wave was going to hit you" I think the same applies to bereavement.

Whilst my mother was in the rest home, each day my father visited my mother "in guilt" pretending to be the dutiful husband, fooling no one, his arrogance was unbelievable. Back at the house my father was entertaining his mistress on a regular basis, she was seen strutting around the house as if she owned it. Little did she know that my father was cheating on her also, he had been having an additional affair on the side for a year. I don't know where my father's got the energy at the age of 72! perhaps most men would be proud of his conquests. Sweet revenge for my mum though.

I don't believe couples should stay together just for the sake of it, my parents were ill matched and should have seperated years ago giving them the opportunity for self growth. I look back at both of them knowing mum condoled his behaviour over the years and think what a waste of life. What have they both achieved?????? I must certainly learn by their mistakes.

Mum often use to say "I won't always be here and you'll miss me when I'm gone". How true her words were.

Life is so precious to be enjoyed and lived to the full with no regrets.

Carful how you make your will out girls!!!

Ballons

Life is too short to wake up with regrets,
Love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy.
They just promised it would be worth it.

Friends and family are like ballons.
Once you let them go, you can't get them back.

Testimonials

I Have had several readings with Terri over the past 20 years. It was usually when I had a decision to make in my life or an emotional problem. She has given me the courage to continue along a suitable path or brought thro' from the spirit world dear friends or relatives who have died. It was if they were in the room with us. She came with me on holiday one time to an island she had never visited before, a monk came thro' and told her the history of the place and continued with the information the whole time we were there. It was her pointing out interesting facts to me and not the other way aound. I have introduced many people to Terri all of them have been amazed at her ability. She has an incredible gift which many people would benefit from knowing her. Wendy Jewson

"Terri is one of the best mediums I have had the good fortune to deal with and I have dealt with a few. Her evidence is concise to the point of excellence and at private sittings with her there have always been three people present - Terri, myself and the cemmunicating spirit person. I strongly recommend her: there is nobody better and you will not regret a sitting you have with her." Alan Musgrave-Scott, Sqn-Ldr RAF (retired)

On my first visit to Terri, I was struggling with terrible feelings of guilt, I also felt as if I had "lost myself" along the way too, after a couple of visits to Terri I found I had a new direction, questions were answered and feelings of guilt that I had carried with me were cleared from my mind.

All in all, my experiences with Terri have been life changing, and I can never thank her enough for that. With love and gratitude, Tracy

When I first came to see Terri I was at a very low, very confused time of my life. I do truly believe that from that day everything changed for me, she helped me So much, I regained direction, understanding and new hope and she helped me find myself again. I have never met anyone else like her and I feel blessed that I had that opportunity and I recommend her to everyone I meet. She is a tremendously gifted person, intelligent, with a wonderful sense of humour and with out doubt she has a great connection with the spirit world that has left me truly amazed. She has a lovely warm heart and I hope I always stay in touch with her as I am forever thankful. Victoria

Be careful for what you pray for?

Zimba my beautiful Rhodesian Ridgeback has brought me and my partner Barry a lot of pleasure, he is like the child that I never had and has taught me a lot, and has brought an abundance of pleasure.

Zimba demands a lot of time and attention and is very much part of the family. I woke up smiling today thinking " beware of what you pray for as you might be unlucky enough to have your prayers answered".


Well I never thought much about if after that until I was having problems with Zimba's health, to my utter disbelieve he started going bald. When he lay on his back he looked like a sow with a bright pink belly with no fur. What's going on I thought.

After many expensive trips to the vet they discovered that Zimba was allergic to washing powder and detergents. My wanting the house never to smell "doggy" was killing him with kindness. I pondered on my dog's sensitive condition and remembered my prayer to GOD. I actually got what I prayed for, a very sensitive dog, what I thought I'd asked for was a psychic dog sensitive to the spirit world. So be warned, make sure you know what your asking for!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I've just finished a sitting with Lotte Duncan who's a celebrity Chef, TV presenter and Food writer. Over the years she's become a good friend, after the sitting she asked if I on blogger, Twitter and Face book and when I said NO she responded sharply "you should practise what you preach" so here goes!!!!!!
