Why meditation is vital for your spiritual development

By Jeaux BartlettNovember 1, 2018November 6, 2018 Development, Meditation meditation, online classes, spiritual development

When I first began studying Spiritualism, one of the first things I learned was the purpose of meditation is to “know thyself.” I honestly didn’t get it. I know myself, I thought. I’m Joanna. I’ve been living with myself my whole life. But I didn’t really. I knew a shallow layer of myself, the one…

When my Mum died, very shortly after an unexpected cancer diagnosis, I took charge and got on with things. “What else am I going to do?” I thought. “Someone has to.” Grief myth #5: Stay busy I took all my available vacation time, plus a couple of extra days when my boss donated some of…

When I teach people about setting and maintaining boundaries with Spirit, someone usually asks this question: How do you deal with a pushy Spirit? My answer: Have your gatekeeper deal with them. I call my gatekeeper my bouncer guide. When I picture him, he doesn’t look anything like a stereotypical nightclub bouncer, but that’s part…

If internal strength and emotional fortitude were visible like muscles, I’d look like a bodybuilder. How about you? When I was 10, I moved from England to Barbados, a lovely little island in the Caribbean. I’d been living with my dad, step-mother, brother and baby half-sister in England and I moved to another country with…

If you’ve taken any mediumship or psychic development classes, you’ve probably been told to develop a symbol dictionary. Or, at the very least, that the information you get through symbols is important. Both of these things are true. Symbols are the language of Spirit. However you receive information from Spirit, loved ones on the other…

Even though it’s been more than 30 years since I left England (I was 10, if you’re counting), sometimes I still feel extremely British. Dealing with my hurt and pain is one of those times. It’s during those times, when I’m grieving and vulnerable, that I’m mostly likely to fall back onto a strongly-rooted default…

By Jeaux BartlettSeptember 20, 2018 Spiritual development

If you feel the energy of the people around you or of a place, you’re not weird. If you feel physically unwell when people are yelling or the music is loud, you’re not too sensitive. If you feel other people’s illnesses or emotions in your body, you’re not crazy. You’re an empath. Being an empath…

Do you remember your first romantic crush or relationship? Are you still with that person? I’m not. Michael J. Fox seem to be happily married to someone else and I wholeheartedly hope it stays that way. But I was crushed when I realized it was never going to work out between me and Marty McFly….

Grief myths: Don’t feel bad – like you can help feeling anything but bad when loss occurs

No one meant to teach you unhelpful things about dealing with grief. Your parents and caregivers taught you what they knew. Unless they’d done a bunch of spiritual development work, that was likely what they were taught by their own parents. Society also does a good job of impressing beliefs upon us. It’s so good…
