A Time to Love, A Time to Mourn

by Dana Taylor

Several weeks ago, Spirit nudged me to create a meditation for people dealing with grief. At the time, I wondered if it was a portent for things to come. Of course, grief is part of the human experience. Loving deeply delivers greatest joy, but also greatest loss when a loved one dies. At this point in life, I am no stranger to grief. I’ve walked the path of the “Valley of the Shadow of Death,” as described in Psalm 23, most memorably when my mother died, and later, my husband. Both greatly loved, both greatly missed.

For me, grief is something to acknowledge and experience. It’s a time to slow down and allow feeling to bubble up and flow out, sometimes in tears, sometimes in closet cleaning or long, long walks. The relationship mourned is not really over, but transformed. With my mother, I ultimately came to feel how much of her lives on in me–my style, my voice pattern, my love for music and family, my ready smile. Gratitude replaced grief.

Grief for my husband took a different route, as it seems we maintain a relationship of sorts as he has simply gone from physical to non-physical. We aren’t in a day-to-day marriage any longer. No more, “what do you want to eat? What should we do tonight?” But rather, he is still around when I really need him, but most of the time now, we’re leading our post-marriage lives. Me, still on planet earth, he in another dimension. But when I am in a crisis, he makes his presence known, usually through music or the sudden appearance of coins.

Two weeks ago, grief came calling to my family as my older daughter, Sara lost her father-in-law, Gary. He’d gone into sudden decline, entered the hospital to hopefully get stronger, but instead, passed away. I’d been following the unfolding drama through long-distance communications with Sara. The afternoon Gary was breathing his last breaths, I found a shiny penny sitting on top of my car. How strange, I thought. How did that get there?

A couple hours later, I received the message that Gary had passed. Though not surprised, I still felt the reverberating shock wave of emotion of the family gathered around his bed. Gary had been a strong, much beloved center of his family. Greatly loved, now to be greatly missed.

When I returned to my car, a bright shiny dime sat in the passenger’s seat. The penny, the dime. Now I got it. My husband makes his presence known when I need him….Truly, love never dies.

The Relief from Grief Meditation is my humble offering for those dealing with the pangs of loss. Hopefully, those who listen will feel their spirits lifted and find their way ever so steadily to joy and appreciation for the love they have known.

The Relief from Grief Meditation is also available on my YouTube Channel and Healing Meditations page.

Are You Having a Spiritual Awakening?

by Dana Taylor

So long 2023! It was….fun. My intuition told me it was going to be a challenging year. The winter atmospheric rivers that roared through the Santa Cruz mountains made simple things like getting to the grocery store and safely home again a major accomplishment. By the end of March living on the edge of a river had gone from charming to alarming. Without solid plans, but with faith in my heavenly guides and earthly friends, I moved my belongings into storage, and lived in several locations over the ensuing months. I had many adventures along the way, with old friends and new. As I look back on the year, one of the highlights was finding my way to Spiritual Awakenings International (SAI).
SAI was founded in 2020 by Dr. Yvonne Kason and Robert Bare, two people well-known in the community of Near-Death Experiencers. (See my review of Lessons from the Light by Dr. Yvonne Kason.) They felt led to provide a global community for people who’ve experienced a variety of Spiritually Transformative Experiences (STEs). From the Spiritual Awakenings International website:

“Spiritually Transformative Experiences” is an umbrella term for a broad range of spiritual and paranormal experiences of consciousness, that all tend to cause a spiritual awakening and gradual expansion of one’s range of consciousness. All types of STEs tend to transform experiencers’ values in a more spiritual direction and propel an increased desire to be loving, ethical, and of service to others. Dr. Kason defines Spiritually Transformative Experiences into 6 major sub-types:

  • Mystical experiences;
  • Near-Death Experiences (NDEs);
  • Other Death-related STEs such as: Deathbed experiences/End-of-life experiences; Death-Watch/Shared-Death experiences; and After-Death Communications;
  • Psychic/intuitive and out-of-body experiences of many types;
  • Kundalini / Spiritual Energy Awakenings
  • Inspired creativity
SAI sponsors monthly guest speakers and Experiencers Sharing Circles. I began watching the presentations, both live and on their SAI YouTube channel. The quality of the presentations impressed me. When they put out a call for an administrative volunteer, I felt that little intuitive nudge, “go for it.” I responded and soon found myself in training with Dr. Yvonne Kason on a weekly basis as their YouTube administrator. Getting to know Dr. Yvonne and the other SAI board members has been inspiring, energizing and just plain fun. Their individual spiritual journeys are the stuff of novels. Together they share a sense of the Awakening of humanity. So many stories, so many people having extraordinary spiritual experiences. SAI provides a global community for them to come together.
This Saturday, February 3 is the Experiencers Sharing Circle on Zoom. People from around the world show up and are divided into small groups. Each Zoom room has a trained leader. Participants can share any Spiritually Transformative Experience, usually for about five minutes, each time around within about 40 minutes. There isn’t crosstalk or counseling, but sharers find comradery and acceptance. Some people simply listen if they aren’t ready to tell their story. If you are interested in attending, register at the SAI website to receive the Zoom link on Friday. All SAI events are free with donations suggested to cover administrative costs. You can register HERE.
This weekend I’ll be joining the Sharing Circle from my two-bedroom cottage in the redwoods of Boulder Creek, CA. My wanderings ended in September when fortune smiled upon me, and I secured a house near my daughter and her tribe of five. I have friendly, helpful neighbors, should the weather cause some calamity. For moment, I am settled, snug and looking forward to the year ahead. I hope you are also.

What Will UFO Disclosure Bring?

by Dana Taylor

As a long-time subscriber to Gaia TV, I’ve enjoyed watching episodes of Cosmic Disclosure, Ancient Aliens, Open Minds interviews with Regina Meredith, Dr. Steven Greer, and, lest we forget, George Noory’s Beyond Belief. I’ve taken it all with a grain of salt, but the idea that our planet is regularly visited by extraterrestrials is old news to me. Yet, the culture of ridicule runs so deeply in the US, I’ve only engaged in hushed discussions with “safe” people about subjects like UFO’s and other worldly visitations. There’s been talk of “slow disclosure” for the past couple of years. The Feds have sparingly released old UFO documents. But, the sense of stonewalling by the US government hasn’t changed, until now.

The National Geographic channel on Disney+ six-part series entitled UFO: Investigating The Unknown featuring journalist investigator Leslie Kean blew me away. It’s a highly credible compilation of historical information of UFO events since the 1940’s. Though Gaia interviews speak of Dr. J. Allen Hynek and his work on Project Blue and beyond, the National Geographic series has access to television footage interviews to see Hynek in action.

The major UFO events in Stephenville, Texas in 2008; the 1967 Malmstrom, Montana nuclear base disruption; and the 1997 Phoenix Lights sightings are covered in detail. The US policy of whitewashing, ridicule, and secrecy becomes obvious. Especially revealing are the commanders at Malmstrom who were forced to sign non-disclosure agreements and knew their careers would be over if they spoke to anyone about the incident. They waited 40 years to break their silence.

But times are changing. The series also features prominent government disclosure advocates like Leon Panetta, Senator Harry Reid, and Senator Kristen Gillibrand who believe the American public can handle the revelations without running wild in the streets with fear. After all, this is now a nation of Trekkies and Star Wars fanatics.

This week got even more real with Congressional hearings with Ryan Graves, executive director of Americans for Safe Aerospace, retired Air Force Maj. David Grusch and retired Navy Cmdr. David Fravor testifying before the subcommittee on UFO’s. When NPR (National Public Radio) runs a story, you know it has the powers-that-be stamp of approval.

U.S. recovered non-human ‘biologics’ from UFO crash sites, former intel official says

Disclosure is definitely happening. The rationale seems to be safety for aircraft that has to deal with UAPs (Unknown Anomalous Phenomena). Personally, I’m skeptical that it’s a ruse for furthering the military industrial complex. Hopefully, this isn’t another excuse for war, but, rather a path to peaceful co-existence with highly intelligent civilizations that have been watching human development since the dawn of man.

Moments of Mediumship with Helen

by Dana Taylor

I first met Helen Nibs in 2005 when I made an appointment for a Reiki treatment in her Oklahoma City office. The session literally changed my life, challenged my world view, and set me on a new path of exploration. You can read all about that in my book, Ever-Flowing Streams: Christ, Reiki, Reincarnation & Me. Beyond all the events that unfolded, I gained a life-long friend in Helen.

Through the years, I watched Helen constantly developing her natural, extraordinary healing and psychic gifts. Besides her energy healing work, she discovered an affinity for spirit communication. She learned the craft of mediumship with some of the top teachers of the day, including Mavis Pattilla and James Van Praagh. She also connects to the guides of Akashic Records for invaluable life counseling. What I’ve come to appreciate about Helen’s gift, is her ability to deliver messages from the spirit realm that are precisely what someone needs to hear at that particular moment in time.

A few months ago I attended one of Helen’s Evening with Spirit World Zoom events. She limits the sessions to 20 participants, with the hope that each person will receive a pertinent message. The expectation is that Helen will be functioning as a medium connecting to loved ones who have passed over. I signed up for the event mainly to support Helen and to see how it would go. Personally, there’s no one on the Otherside that I have much desire to hear from. No great unfinished business at this point. I didn’t expect a message for me.

The session started out with what appeared to be a “miss” on Helen’s part. She said a boy in a baseball uniform was coming through very strongly. No one in the group could claim a connection. She moved on. New people or information came through, appropriately matched to each participant. Interestingly, it wasn’t just a parade of the dearly departed, though a few showed up. The most moving one was a woman who had died from cancer and came to thank the friend who had cared for her. But in another instance, Helen appeared to be more visionary, relating the connection to animals and nature of another participant. She delivered a message of encouragement from Spirit.

a powerful message to me: your prayers make a difference

Then, the boy baseball player showed up again. He was persistent. At that point, I realized the ball player message was for me, which was mind boggling, because the boy is still very much alive. You may recall a boy named Easton Oliverson who suffered a major head injury in 2022 when he fell from a top bunk at the Little League World Series. The press always displayed him in his baseball uniform. While I had never met Easton, I’d been praying and sending him healing energy quite intensely in the weeks after his accident. Though I maintain a faithful daily practice of meditation and distance healing work, I sometimes wonder if I’m accomplishing anything at all. I might simply be a delusional, dotty woman spinning daydreams. Helen’s impression of Easton delivered a powerful message to me: your prayers make a difference. It was just what I needed to hear at the time.

Seeing Helen hone in on each person, catch a thread of connection and reel in a message was impressive to watch. Her lilting English accent and kind demeanor is a balm to the hurting and confused. Helen exudes a healing energy that comes through the ether like a warm hug.

Her next Evening with Spirit World is Thursday, March 16th, for the extremely modest price of $20. I understand she still has some spaces available. The participants will have an experience they will long remember. If you act now, you might be one of them. Sign up HERE.

Be A Rainmaker

by Dana Taylor
One of my favorite moments in the life of Jesus is when he was awakened from a deep sleep on a boat by his frightened disciples as they thrashed about in a stormy sea. Mark 4:35-41 NIV

Jesus Calms the Storm

35 That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, “Let us go over to the other side.” 36 Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. 37 A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. 38 Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, “Teacher, don’t you care if we drown?”
39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, “Quiet! Be still!” Then the wind died down and it was completely calm.
40 He said to his disciples, “Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?”
41 They were terrified and asked each other, “Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!”

Taking Authority Over Weather

Now when you live in Oklahoma for thirty years, as I did, you have plenty of opportunities to take a cue from Jesus and take authority over storms. Praying about weather conditions is a long-established practice for me. Of course, measuring the effectiveness of said prayers is fairly impossible. However, I did have one enlightening afternoon that has encourage me to stay the course.
About three years ago, I was living in Honolulu by then. My daughter, Sara, who lives in St. Louis, MO, with her family, sent me an urgent text.
Pray for Will and Gracie. They are on the school bus trying to get home and a big storm is here. It’s knocked down trees on their road and everything is flooding.
At the time Will was 10 and Gracie 7. I immediately took a deep dive into prayer mode and connected quickly. I saw Will comforting a very scared Grace, huddled together on the bus. My guides sent me instructions to help the bus driver maintain calm and control. Then I began to work on the storm itself. Thanks to the magic of satellite technology, I pulled up the weather map. They were in the reddest region of the tempest. Images formed in my mind of the clouds breaking up and moving away. It was if I was playing my part in a larger orchestration of storm manipulation. In real time I saw the satellite images forming a horseshoe of lessening intensity over the children’s neighborhood. Energy poured through me, along with images of clouds, wind, rain and sky. The satellite picture looked as if great hands were parting the clouds, pushing the red zone away from them.
I sighed in relief when another text reported the children home, safe and sound. A good Samaritan had arrived in the road with a chainsaw to clear the tree. The rain had abated in the area for a while. The bus driver had made wise decisions. Sadly, the flooding had been so severe on their street that two horses had been washed away.
Since that incident, I’ve taken my intervention for weather and my connection to our vibrant planet more seriously. The intelligence and spirit of earth is often called Gaia and I speak with her daily. A couple of months ago I received a beautiful image of Mother Gaia as a celestial figure, pregnant with earth in her womb. The atmosphere around her, a starry shawl and swirl of fractal lights. Magnificent.
I longed to capture some of that image in a meditation and it finally came together for me. I was also instructed to add a segment of visualization for rain for the southwest United States.
In John 14:12 Jesus said we could do the same things he demonstrated and even greater things. The growing awareness of the power of group consciousness certainly encourages like minded people to come together in the quantum fields to affect our world.
Join me and others in the Mother Earth Meditation with Visualization for Rain for Southwest United States.
