Today was my late day I was supposed to be able to sleep one hour longer, but this didn't happen because my grandmother decided to wake me up with chitter chatter in my ear about things that need to be done, changes that need to be made, how to do them and when.    It's all kinds of good information but to early in the morning though!  When she was alive I remember she would love to wake me up.  I would drive to Sacramento to visit her on my days off and I wanted to sleep in. I mean why couldn't I do the two birds with one stone and visit her on my day off and sleep in?  But no she had different idea for me.  She was an early bird so she'd be in the kitchen slamming cupboards and making all kinds of noise.  I knew it was intentional to wake me up I used to lay there and feel so irritated and one time I was almost in tears, so one time I said something to her, and when I speak of this now, I want to laugh, because she would never hesitate to do what she wanted or thought was right.   My grandparents were one of a kind.  She would push her way to the front and my Grandfather would say whatever was on his mind, he didn't care if he hurt your feelings or what other's thought.  He was what some would consider rude because he was very out spoken, stubborn and would get aggressive at times.  But my Grandmother was just a little pushy.  She would always tell me he that my grumpy Grandfather liked me and I knew he didn't.  He was mean.  He was a horse in the Chinese astrology and I'm a monkey, is what my cousin says...now it all makes sense to me why he didn't take a liking to me.  It's a Chinese Astrology thing!  Lol
Anyways back to my Grandmother she is a very funny woman she'd wake me up when I would visit her by making noise and slamming things and she would always say when I visited that I'd have plenty of time to sleep when I was dead.  That was her philosophy, and now she is showing me from the other side so she decided to wake me up early and she does that quite often and we had to have a little talk this morning so I'm hoping that doesn't happen anymore, but she does give me some good advice and ideas where to make some changes. And she let me know she loves me and guides me and that it's pretty amazing that I can hear see and feel Loved Ones that have crossed over to the other side. 
I am very thankful to have a direct connection to Spirit, and my Guides especially thankful that my grandmother has chose me, to be one of my amazing spiritual Guide and connections. 
I was feeling irritated, but I chose to feel blessed and thankful. 
Do you have a connection to Spirit?  
Do you ever wake up and just have no idea why?   Prior to my Spiritual Path or awareness I moved nine times in ten years.  I always thought it was the loud neighbors or the dog barking or the busy noisey....  It was Spirit!
You may hear Spirit and not understand.  Maybe you're a Medium too!

What is a booking fee? And why?  

A booking fee is a charge for doing an in-office session.  It's cheaper to do a Skype or phone session because you don't pay a booking fee.  And I don't have to pay for office space because I'm working from the comfort of my home while you are in the comfort of yours.  I always say if money is an issue then book a Skype or phone session.  Your session results will be as accurate and clear as an in person session.  I always joke around and say the only difference is you don't get a real hug, you get an electronic hug. LOL  :)

A little history of why I require a booking fee when scheduling an office session with me?

I've been meeting with clients for a very long time and never had an issue but one Saturday morning long ago...I decided to start charging a booking fee because this lady booked an office session with me on a Saturday morning at 9 a.m. and didn't show up.  I didn't get a call or email to cancel.  She didn't answer her cell phone the three times I attempted to call as I waited on her arrival.  I sat there wondering if she was okay or just decided to sleep in on her Saturday morning like I could have been doing!
It was a very disappointing and frustrating day for me that Saturday morning many months ago.  I mean at that time I was trying to do 2 businesses and I'm a single only parent with health problems with challenges daily.  I work very hard, my child has sports five days a week, sometimes six so for me to crawl out of bed at 730 in the morning on a Saturday morning to take a shower and get myself into the office by nine, I know now is and was asking a lot from my tired disabled self.  Then for her to not even have the common courtesy to call or email or even answer her phone when I called her was just blatantly rude!  As I sat in my office, eyes closed, talking to Spirit asking why... I heard my Angels chime in and say, things happen for a reason...
And that's when the messsage came to me to require a small booking fee to schedule an office session. 
In the.. I don't know, maybe year that I've now been doing this I've had two people schedule a session and no-show.  I know it makes a big difference now when someone doesn't show to their appointment at least I get paid something for the trip into the office.  It's also a little compensation for the fact that another person could have scheduled a session during that time slot, so at least it accommodates my time slightly.

So today I have somebody booked at 2:15 that scheduled her second session with me a couple weeks ago and I called her 3 days ago to confirm because my spidey senses said call her plus I didn't collect a booking fee.  I left her a message but I never heard back from her, and to be honest with all the dealings with my grandmother's funeral yesterday and the viewing the day before and all the preparations and family drama going on around me it never occurred to me that I didn't hear back from her. I do remember her she was a very very nice lady with relationship issues with a motorcycle gang boyfriend. 
So this morning when I realized I never heard back from her I attempted to try to call her again and again left a message, because I have two other people that are trying to get in today and I don't have the time available.  If she isn't coming in I could give that time slot to someone else.
She didn't answer.  I still went to my office because you never know maybe her phone was lost, broken or. .. AND....the result....she didn't show and to this day (March 26, 2014) I have not heard from her.
Given her situation it makes me wonder if she's okay or not?!

These are a few reasons why I charge a booking fee.  And I notice that people are more responsible when they have a few bucks on the line.  If they're not going to show up then they make sure they cancel or reschedule which allows me to give that time slot to somebody else.  After all I am running a business here. ;)

January 24, 2014 
I want to make sure people understand that I take my Spiritual Gift very serious.  Someone came into my office for a session a week or so ago.  I did my normal routine energy healing on her, channels the messages that came forward, gave guidance and then asked her if she had any questions at the end, like I normally do. Normally a person doesn't have questions, but she did.  She asked if I you could communnicate with her family that have passed?  I said yes.....
This is just an example of what I recall she did (NOT what she did exactly, because I channel I don't recall a lot of what is said in my sessions percisely)  but so you get an idea I'm going to give you an example closest to what I recall transpired in my office that day.  It really made me feel uncomfortable and abused spiritually.  Apparently she thought "Spiritual Healer Medium Peej" was a VIDEO GAME and you just put a quarters in and connect with a loved one that has passed to spit out a message or two, and then you just put in another quarter and see what another loved one has to say and yet another quarter in- to see what another dead realiative has to say.  
I'm not sure how other people connect, but for me if the loved one that has passed has messages they will make themselves known and present right when the clients enters my office, and they will talk and give messages before I can start my normal routine of energy healing work, sometimes resulting in me doing energy healing at the end or not doing it at all. 
If a client wants to dial up a loved one at the end then the client says I wanted to connect to my mom then most times I can hear, see or feel them. but other times I ask them to please say their name and for me- its like dialing up the spirit of that loved one then I can either see them and explain what they look like or I can feel them in my body, where I take on their energy and I can explain where they had pain or health issues.  I always hear them in combination to either seeing or feeling them.

So here's an example of what I recall and close to what took place a week or so ago: I did everything I normally do and once I was done I remember I asked her if she had any questions.  She said she wanted to connect with her grandma Sue... So immediately I explained that I felt something very painful in my stomach asked if this made sense to her, she confirmed that her grandmother had passed of stomach cancer- k -k-  Then I say she is showing me a truck- she confirms- yes she drove a truck....  This is the way Spirit of a loved one that has passed will make themselves present by giving me information only you know.   
Then she puts another quarter in (figurativly speaking) and says what about my uncle Joe immediatly I feel major pain in my head and mostly on the left side.  I ask her does this make sense to you or mean something?  She confirmed that yes it did because he had head trama on the left side from a motorcycle accident.  Then she says what about my cousin Bobby Joe does he have anything to say to me?... 

So after her fourth dial up- I said I can't  connect to see if and what they have to say to you.  I feel like I should have said this isn't a video game or I'm not a video game. But it wasn't until after she left that it bothered me.
Honestly I felt like I had been drug through the energy mud and spiritually exhausted because I take on loved ones and their energy, feelings and emotions it can be a lot of energy expelled for me and exhausting.  Plus I felt taken advantage of and used and abused spiritually which extremely affected me negatively which then irritated me, after her session.

SO HERE I AM BLOGGING about this.  My gift to communicate with a loved one is to be respected and taken very serious.  This is not a game, or joke and is NOT to be used to see or prove to you that Peej is really connected spiritually.  My connection to the After-Life is sacred!  I have helped many people bring healing to their mind, body and soul with the gift of being able to connect with a loved one that has passed.  Your Loved One will show me, tell me or give me feelings through vibrations that make sense to you, NOT ME, to confirm they are present, around us to help guide, solve, or clear up things and they bring forward information they want to share with you to guide you towards healing and closure.  

I am the channel and deliverer of messages NOT a video game to just randomly see what they have to say to you or to just experiment with connecting with your loved ones because you're curious and bored.  So please respect my connection.  If you want to connect with a loved one to get closure, healing which confirms that they are around and to experience the gift that there is life after death then schedule a session and they will channel information only makes sense to you, through me to you.  And most times they will help me hear, feel or see where you need healing, inspiration and guidance in your life and sometimes without stepping forward and making themselves appear to my vision or movie screen, is what I call it.  Sometimes I can only hear them or feel them in my body. 

Last year a lady came into my office do a Mediumship session with a guy.  I did my normal routine and said please close your eyes, relax and open yourselves up to the healing you are about to recieve.  I did their chakra alignments and received messages like I knew the guy wasn't her boyfriend and was just here for moral support and they confirmed my feelings were right as well as I felt he never had a reading before he felt to me a little skeptical, which is fine and a normal emotion.  So after I did the energy healing I had this desire to hold my neck.  I had both hand on my neck, holding the front of my neck and I say to both of them- can you please open your eyes.   I said I feel like I want to hold my neck, does this mean something to either of you?  She said yes, he hung himself.  It was a very shoking but intense moment in that office and the look on her guy friends face was what I'd refer to as a Kodak moment.  She became very emotional and at that moment he knew I was the real deal and I felt his skeptical block come down and I was able to channel the messages, providing guidance from both of them from their loved one and Angels. 
They had an amazing session.
That day I left my office really in just amazement with Spirit once again!

I know I have many gifts and help a lot of people and there are those times I just go through the motions, but there are times I leave my office just amazed.  I am grateful and always thank God that I could hear that, or know that, or see the things I do and provide guidance, healing and messages from loved ones. 
Thank you God's Angels, the Holy Spirit & Jesus.  Thank you for reading my blogs I hope they help.  

I am sending you blessings & love,
Peej

 

I am a very feeling person. So "feeling" that I suffer from Fibromyalgia. For me it's a balancing act. Making sure I disconnect, rest, balance things out and have "Me Time" is all very important factors in my mind, body, life and soul. Especially because I am a healer that doesn't use any cards or tools when I am in session. I use my body to read and feel people's energy.  I feel energy and I feel Spirit touch me, a Loved One that has passed away, or left this physical world. 
There is a such thing as life after death. Trust me they communicate with me daily.  So when a family member wants to connect with a loved one who has passed.  They come to a Medium, like me, to communicate.  For me it's like picking up a phone and dialing up a Spirit.  I can feel their emotions, hear their voice and feel them in my body or touch my body. I am Psychic, I am a medium I do have a Communication degree and certificate, I have facilitated parenting classes but I am a spiritual healer. I am a healer. I move energy and heal your body, mind and soul. This is my God given gift. And I thank God, my Angels and the universe for these gifts daily. 
They talk a lot about Spiritual gifts in the Bible. One verse is in 1 Corinthians 12 <- - click 
More info here <- - - click

I am so feeling that I can also feel a living person's energy, vibrations and emotions.  
A feeling person, also referred to as an Empath, is one my senses and can be considered a gift or a curse. My friend Scooter always says, "Peej you have super powers- now remember he says, you can't get something for nothing." Meaning there's always a pro and a con. There is always a payoff he says. Which I relate to the fact that I have Fibromyalgia. 
And it's true. Feeling is a gift, but looking back on my life now, it could also be looked at as a curse! LOL
Its actually a gift that makes me the amazing healer and reader that I am. I mean when I'm in a session with someone I can feel if they have kidney pain or I can feel a loved one that has passed giving me a feeling that I have to decode, or they touch me, when I'm connected to their energy. I can hear them speaking or they will touch my hair, head or arm, sometimes it's their way of confirming what I'm saying is correct. I always say, "It's pretty amazing while I'm in the office- but not so amazing when a I'm at the mall." 
Because I feel everyone's crap and I hear feel and see spirit and feel energy. That's how I read people, by their energy and aura. But when I'm at the mall it's a bit overwhelming for me. I get over simulated and then feel wiped out or fatigued. That's my fibromyalgia too!

This is where meditation or what I call "Me Time" comes in handy. It allows me to quiet my mind, clear the energy, and the thoughts, take a mental and physical break and just let it all go, even if it's just for a few minutes of my day. It's just disconnecting for a few minutes here and there. I sometimes say, it's like putting gas in your car. If you're on a road trip and you've driven through two states on a tank of gas, trust me, if you don't stop that car and put more gas in it, it will force you to stop by actually running out of gas or possibly over heating. The same way as your body does when it speaks to you, it's telling you I'm tired, stop, I'm overwelmed and then if you ignore it and keep going and going, to work, to this, and to that. ..and then it says, "I'm done, I'm shutting down, "I'm sick now!" And it forces you to stop. 
Okay back to the car... You already drove 900 miles and the gas gauge says empty.  You have to stop the car, turn it off and put gas into its tank, which is also taking a break, which could be considered a break, or stop time, or meditation time, which is also known as "Me time!" LOL

Over the years on my spiritual journey I've learned a few things here and there from classes, Silvia Brown, Sonia Choquette, self help books, and many more and really just experiencing things and experimenting myself. I have discovered a few things that work and help me disconnect, which then allows me to be in alignment with my higherself, Spirit and my soul. It allows me to disconnect, clear and be in that quiet space of peace, even if it's a few minutes. Sometimes it feels like I have to force myself, but after I do, I feel spiritually refreshed and feel a sense of a clearer thinking, and just a peace calm feeling body. After I mediate I feel stronger and better. This only takes a few minutes out of your day. And if you do a few minutes here and there throughout your day, it's awesome for your soul.

Here area few things that work for me:
You can take a bath with a candle burning and just watch the candle's flame flicker and just feel the warm water on your body and how wonderful it feels. Not thinking how wonderful- feeling how wonderful. We want to give the brain a rest and not think about anything. And trust me- thoughts will come in and I just put my hand up and imagine I'm pushing them aside and sometimes I have to say, "I hear you, but right now I'm taking some "Me Time" and you can come back later, after my "Me Time."

We all have God given gifts or senses. When we're taking some me time we want to put the knowing or thinking senses aside and we want to relax and feel, which requires your eyes to be closed, so that when we see, which also requires one side of your brain to take a break, so don't see and analyze- you look at something and admire. You look and feel. No solving or thinking or brain work allowed when looking. Turn off that curiosity and just be free from it all. Just admire, which is feeling and enjoy what you see. 
It's almost like day dreaming, which is also a great "Me Time" exercise. When you sit there alone and quietly and allow yourself to let go of ego and any learned expectations and just day dream, you allow your mind to go on a journey and venture off into a fairyland. It's an amazing gift and tool to be able to venture off into our safe place. This allows us to disconnect from reality and from analyzing things and let's us dream while we are awake, allowing all of those fantasizing thoughts to come in, venturing off into a great space and allowing wonderful thoughts to enter. It's such an amazing feeling, once you've returned from an adventurous fantasy and you feel happy and spiritually charged and hopeful. If you can imagine it, then it's possible, not just in our head, when we day dream, but in our real life's journey, which allows hope and openness to the possibilities. Sometimes when I allow my expectations or learned ways to be pushed aside and just let myself go, I will see things unfold and I get answers. Not everyone can daydream. This is what I consider a God given "gift" and to some it can be very frustrating.  So if you try it once and it doesn't just come naturally then you can't do it- try the other things I will share. Please don't try and try and get frustrated and then retreat into your head and feel irritated or frustrated. Just let it go and find something that is easy and makes you feel good, relaxed and revived.

Going to the beach and sitting alone on the sand and watching the beautiful waves for a few minutes, then closing your eyes and just listening to the waves for a few minutes, then opening your eyes and watching- well you get the idea. While doing this you want to focus on your breathing- in and out slowly, not thinking about if you're breathing too slow or too fast, remember we are feeling not thinking, just feel the breathe in and feel the calmness set in, while setting the intention that this is "Me Time" and for the next few minutes you're turning off your thoughts. Disconnecting from that analyzing side of the brain. You're goal is to disconnect for a few minutes and just enjoy the beauty of the ocean and Mother Earth. You could sneak in talking to your Angels, or allow a few minutes of prayer at the beginning, but to be honest I need you to set an intention with yourself and your Spirit Guides that this is "quiet time" because let me tell you one of my Guides is a chatty Cathy. So you should say out loud or in your mind's eye, this is me time and we're NOT open for business and we're going to push those thoughts aside, and for the next however many minutes you choose I'm going to be mostly focusing on disconnecting and feeling, then you can talk after I'm done, and then I will listen and be open to thinking again.  But until then, I'm on a break. (And remember to thank them for respecting your wishes after.)
Then just relax, focus on your breath and admire the amazing waves crashing and the peace and comfort you feel from the sounds of the ocean.

Another thing that works wonderfully for me is walking at night. Not waking during the day, but walking under the stars. It does something to me, my mind, body, and soul. I'm not sure if it's just the stillness of the night, the stars or the moon, but it does something to my soul.  Plus it's like hitting two birds with one stone. Haha that's sure an old school phrase, I mean where did that phrase come from?  lol 
I say it all of the time and I've never hit a bird! Who hits birds anyway?! lol

Okay Peej- back on track here! Walking at night is amazing! You get a break in the stillness of the night and disconnect from the energy of everything at your home, and then you get some exercising in too after dinner. 
A win win!

Another thing I've noticed is laying or sitting there playing Candy Crush or any video game where your looking at the game and trying to solve or figure something out that you're seeing on a screen.  It takes your mind away from reality for a while.  You're not thinking about work or your relationship issues while you're on level 67 on Candy Crush and you're trying to get to the next level for the last 25 minutes haha it's impossible! Because your mind is in a space where is connected to that game, trying to plan the next move, thoughts of life are pushed aside because you're using strategy to complete that level and move on to the next. Never thought you'd hear that come out of my mouth huh?! LOL

Another thing that really helps me is getting a foot massage or full body massage. I love love love massage. I lay there, they soak my feet and then massage me.  Sometimes when I'm laying there I want to think or listen to my Spirit Guides talk while laying there and I just say, "I'm taking some "Me Time" right now, come back later."  And I just lay there and feel how amazing it feels to feel the warm hands massaging me and I feel how relaxed I am and how I feel in that moment.

Something I tell clients to read a book. Not a self help book, because that allows you to think about yourself and you do a lot of reflective thinking. It has to be a love story or a thriller or mystery so that when you're reading it you're actually in your head, as if you're watching a movie in your mind.  I'm not much of a reader so I can't relate, but this is something my Guides bring forward all of the time.  For me to read a book I have to be on an elliptical or treadmill to read.  I know- Crazy huh?!  But very true LOL

Guided meditation is also great for those of us that are always in our heads. When you listen to a guided meditation your eyes are closed and your hearing someone taking you through a journey and your relaxed and heart is open to this amazing journey that someone is guiding you through.  A lot of healing comes from guided meditation.  It works with your subconscious mind.  I love guided meditations. I have several on YouTube under "Medium Peej".

Another good "Me Time" exercise is listening to music, the kind where you are singing the lyrics. When you listen to your favorite music it feels good, it does something to your soul, plus how can you think about your stressful work issues when you're singing the words to an amazing song?  Now wait a minute. .. I'm not talking about listening to county music or some Marvin Gay, which usually are love story based songs, especially if you're having relationship issues!  That would just activate energy and the whole point is to disconnect.  Make sense? Just music that you like and that you can sing the words to. I mean feel good music. La♪la la♪♫ la la🎶 
And dance to it.  Move your body.  Get that energy flowing and shake it! 


These exercises allow us to disconnect mentally from our life, body, and thoughts, and allows us to be open to peace and stillness. The results are amazing. I always come back recharged, refreshed and stronger!

Like Cora says in my favorite movie "Madea goes to Jail, Madea calls her daughter and asks where she is because she isn't supposed to drive and she needed a ride. Cora says, I'm getting my hair done, I'm having some "Me Time" let's just say Madea was not happy about her taking time for herself and she let her know. I love that movie. It does something to "MY" soul lol
We all think about and WANT "Me Time" , but life, work, our children, friends or just life get in the way.  Life and people are always going to want our time until we decide our body and soul NEEDS "Me Time", it will go to the bottom of our list of importance and not be a priority. And things I notice when I don't make time for me is I start getting snippy, or fatigued or exhausted feeling.  I feel like I'm on a treadmill or hamster wheel and I exert a lot of energy but get know where or get very little done.

Make time and make it priority- trust me, you will notice a huge difference in life. I know it brings me peace!

Thank youfor reading and I am sending you love and light. 
Peej

Thank you everyone for all of the wonderful reviews on Yelp!!!  (Even if Yelp has filtered half of them :(   that's a whole "other" blog for another day hahah!!

I feel very blessed to be a Spiritual Healer and enjoy what gifts God has blessed me, my body & soul with, and the ability of being able to help, guide & inspire, and meet so many wonderful and amazing people!  I work with Spirit, which means I hear, feel and see Spirit.  I don't use cards or ask any questions- like what is your birthday or what questions do you have today!  I say,"Sit down, shut up, and put your seat bealt on!"  with a smile and chuckle of course! LOL  and then I channel the messages I hear, feel and see!  Nine times out of ten you won't have questions when I'm done with you! ha
 
Reading reviews to me, is great to hear, and to see how I helped and how they felt and feel, but I love reviews because they really help explain to everyone (that don't know me-) how I read and that I am the "real deal" and not a gypsy fake!! LOL!  So thank you again it really really helps!
