The two weeks between a lunar and solar eclipse are often significant. Since the full moon lunar eclipse on June 26th, there have been several truly magical moments in my office.

Over the years, many people have had memorable spiritual awakenings in my client chair. The opportunity comes as a result of time set aside, a calm and nurturing environment, readiness, intention and, yes, perhaps a sprinkling of fairy dust, who knows.

Often the outcome has been a reconnection with brothers, sisters, parents or friends who've transitioned out of our world and back into spirit form. Yes, imagine that there is no go-between (as would be the case with a medium who channels spirits) -- but rather the direct experience of someone special who appears in your mind's eye with a specific message or reassurance.

Sometimes the outcome has been a true "sacred journey," encountering an angel or Mother Mary or Christ or Buddha.

Last week, over and over again I witnessed (and recorded by hand) a mix of these types of experiences. There are no words to describe the thrill of it. It is truly awesome as that word was meant to be defined.

In case you're thinking it's some kind of self-induced delusion on the client's part, I must emphasize that most often the recipients of these kinds of experiences are not "spiritual" people. Instead, they tend to be average Joes and Janes who may have some vague sense of something greater than themselves working in their lives, but are often without any spiritual element or structure. It's almost as though Spirit has been waiting for the right time to make itself known and grabs the opportunity afforded by one of these sessions.

How does this "opportunity" work? I use what I call Touch Hypnosis (a pattern of gentle touch on your forehead, shoulder, and hand) and a count down from 50-1 + deepening to get the client really, really relaxed. I suggest that the person go to "Sacred Space -- whatever that feels like or looks like to you." And away the client goes! Sometimes the experience flows so quickly that I can hardly keep my pen up with the client's narrative. Other times, I find myself "holding" the silence while the client is lying there with a beatific smile, obviously enjoying something special that goes beyond the need for expression.

The clients who experience these encounters find it a life-changing experience. Me, too!
