They Were Watching Me Sleep!

I feel energy All. The. Time. I can feel a person’s energy anywhere: in-person, in an email, in a text, in a social media post, in a photo, over the phone, etc. I feel it. The same goes for Spirit energy. When Spirit energy is around, I feel it. You may feel them too if you pay attention to their signs. My gifts extend beyond feeling energy. I can hear, see, feel, sense and communicate with Spirit (energy). Remember, everything is energy and it’s always around us, whether we feel/see/hear/sense it or not. I’m lucky enough to have been blessed with these gifts to communicate with this energy for you and for me. My latest encounter was a surprise visit for me, and a gift for another.

Spirit/Energy can affect how I feel, and I’m guessing for many of you reading this, you know what I mean because you can feel it too. Sometimes I feel energy that is very strong and other times it may not be. Sometimes I pay attention to it and sometimes I ignore it. And then there’s the persistent Spirit that doesn’t give me a choice but to feel their energy, acknowledge their present, and maybe even chat with them. This was the case with the two Spirits that visited me the other night. They were persistent and would not leave me alone until I acknowledged them and ‘heard’ their messages.

Spirit will often interrupt me throughout my day, sometimes to simply say hello, but most of the time it’s to share a message with me that they’re hoping will make it to you. Sometimes it does and sometimes it doesn’t. This is by far the most difficult part of my job. I get these beautiful, loving, healing messages, answers, guidance, clarity, etc. but they never make it to the loved one(s) Spirit intended them for. I know I cannot control that, but it still makes me sad. However, I trust Spirit! I trust that if/when that person is ready to connect with their loved one, it WILL happen, whether it involves me or not. Trust!

Spirit used to visit me a lot at night, of course when I was trying to sleep. And I don’t care who you are, when you wake up in the middle of the night to ‘someone’ (Spirit) standing next to your bed, staring you right in the face, that’s friggin scary! I’ve been doing this (connecting with energy and Spirit) for a LONG time and ever since that night when a little boy Spirit ran around my bed and touched my husband’s hand, I’ve learned that Spirit needs rules/boundaries, otherwise I’ll/we’ll never sleep. Spirit and I had a little chat and now we have an understanding, they don’t come into my bedroom. They are not allowed into my bedroom or into my children’s bedrooms. They are not allowed to wake me or my husband or my children up. They let me sleep uninterrupted, well, they did, until the other night when I wasn’t sleeping at home.

Spirit is clever (I do love that about them). I’m guessing if you could hear Spirit talk right now, you’d hear them say, ‘But Joni, you never said we couldn’t come and visit you when you’re sleeping somewhere else.’ Touche Spirit. You got me there. This is when Spirit got sneaky. They visited me in my bedroom, but to their defense, it wasn’t really my bedroom. It was my friend’s spare bedroom. So clever! THIS is where my story begins…

For some time now, I’ve felt Spirit at my friend’s home, but not necessarily throughout her home, just in her spare bedroom. It never failed, anytime I walked through her spare bedroom, I could feel energy. I could feel Spirit. Now, you might be thinking, what am I doing walking around her spare bedroom. Well, the guest bathroom is on the other side of her spare bedroom. Get it? Yep, I had to walk through her spare bedroom to use the bathroom. And every time I walked through that room, I felt this lingering energy. It felt like I was being watched. The energy in the room felt a little uneasy, or maybe unsettled is a better word. You know that feeling you get when you walk into a room and everyone turns and stares at you? Yep. THAT feeling. That’s how I felt whenever I walked through this room. I never mentioned it to my friend, until that night.

My friend and I decided to have a girl’s night and since we rarely get to sit on our butts, uninterrupted, we chose to do just that. We chatted for hours. We ate. We laughed. We reminisced. We shared stories. It was SO much fun! Because we both had open schedules, which is a rarity, we decided to be like teenagers and have a sleepover. We had the best time! It was fantastic! When our eyelids got too heavy, and our full bellies relaxed us even further, we decided to go to bed.

Guess where I was sleeping that night? Mhmm. I must admit, I felt a little nervous as I just knew something or shall I say ‘someone’ was going to visit me that night. After I brushed my teeth and snuggled into bed, it began. The energy in the room got closer, stronger, and I felt my stomach flipping. It was that all-to-familiar feeling that I wasn’t alone. Oh boy, here we go, I thought. Do I talk to them and get it over with or try and ignore them and hope they aren’t that determined to chat, and they go away? There was no ignoring them that night. The energy continued to get stronger and closer. Suddenly, I could feel a female energy in the room. She was getting closer to me. She had an older, grandmother-type energy. Here’s the thing about my gifts, sometimes I see Spirit with my physical eyes and sometimes I ‘see’ them in my mind’s eye (also known as your third eye. Think of how you picture the characters when reading a book. Like that). My physical eyes were closed, but my third eye was WIDE open, scanning the room. I recognized this female energy. It was my friend’s grandmother. We never met as she passed away years ago, but I had seen pictures of her. She was standing next to my bed, bent over at the waist, staring at me. I could feel her face was about 6 inches away from my face. She was examining me, studying me, and willing me to open my eyes and talk to her. I didn’t want to open my eyes. I didn’t want to chat. I just wanted to sleep! I kept my eyes closed while she continued to study me. I didn’t feel threatened or uncomfortable by her presence. I felt her curiosity. She was visiting and wanted to know #1) Who I was and #2) Why I didn’t want to open my eyes and talk to her? She was right. I did not want talk to her. I did not want to open my eyes. In that split second, I remembered the rules I had set with Spirit at MY house, in my bedroom. I forgot to set up those same rules/boundaries at my friend’s house. Shoot! Spirit took advantage of this opportunity. I ’left the door open’ so to speak lol, and they jumped at the chance to talk. I think it’s funny now, but at the time, not so much. ;)

When I realized that I hadn’t set up the boundaries with Spirit in this new space, another Spirit popped in. I was laying on my left side and the grandmother energy was in front of me. She sort of stepped back and all of the sudden, I could feel a male energy behind me. He was a big, strong man, with a strong presence. He wore a checkered/flannel-type heavy, thick shirt, a leather belt, possibly wool pants, and he had a hat on. The way he was dressed looked like he was from the 1930s or 1940s. He looked like he had been hunting or that he worked outdoors. He had big, strong hands and I remember his legs. His legs were big, thick and strong too. He was a big guy! He didn’t speak, he just stared at me. Sometimes Spirit will do that. They pop in, wanting to be seen (for some reason), and then they leave. The question is, why? Who was he? What did he want? Why didn’t he speak? How could I have helped him? In that split second, I decided to call in my Spiritual Team of helpers to set up some boundaries and shoo these Spirits away so I could get some sleep. They came in, as requested, to do their job and poof, the two visitors were gone. Goodnight.

Morning arrived. I walked into the kitchen and greeted my friend who had been sipping a cup of coffee on the sofa. I poured myself a cup and joined her. We chatted and enjoyed our coffee when I felt a nudge to tell her that her grandmother had visited me last night. She proceeded to tell me that the lamp and grandfather clock in that bedroom belonged to her grandmother. A ha! That’s why her energy was so strong. Then, I finally fessed up and told her about all the uneasy energy I often felt in that room. She explained that her grandmother had boxes and boxes of pictures, and she stored them in the spare bedroom closet. Ding ding ding. That’s it! That’s why I was feeling all of this random, unsettled energy. I was feeling/sensing/connecting to the energy on these pictures. Yes, objects hold our energy. Like the lamp, the grandfather clock, and the pictures all have my friend’s grandmother’s energy on them. When there’s THAT much energy, it’s really easy for me to feel.

Moving on to our final question: Who’s this mystery man? When I started to tell my friend about the male spirit I saw/sensed in the room, she freaked. We couldn’t even believe what happened next!

If you and I have ever talked about energy, then you know that like energy/frequency/vibrations attract that same energy/frequency/vibration to itself. When you have like/similar energy with another human, you are drawn to one another. When this similar/shared energy comes together, it multiplies, it’s gets stronger, and the ability to connect with Spirit and receive their messages gets that much easier. It’s like that old saying, two heads are better than one. Well, 2 high-vibe energies are better than 1. My friend has high vibe energy, add that to mine, and we used this to answer our myster man question.

After I had finished telling my friend about the male spirit, and describing what he looked like, her eyes got big and she said, “I’m feeling a nudge to look at the photos in my phone. Oh my gosh, I think I might know who he is!” She scrolled through her photos for a minute. Then stopped. She looked up at me with shock and excitement on her face. “Joni, is this him?!” She said with anticipation. I screamed, “Whatttttt. Yes, that’s him! How in the world did you know?!” She said she had a feeling (Like minded/high-vibe energy at work). Then she proceeded to explain why/how she had his picture in the first place. She and a friend were talking about genealogy and they both had been doing some research. Her friend had recently found some information about her grandpa and shared his picture with my friend. She forgot she had it in her phone until our conversation about my myster visitor. (NOT a coincidence. All orchestrated by Spirit!) We could not believe the guy I saw the night before was the guy in the picture, the grandpa of a friend! What are the chances? Well, I suppose pretty good considering I talk to dead people. But how fun that Spirit knew to come to me, to get to my friend, to get to his granddaughter. Brilliant! We were shocked and excited! So amazing! Divine intervention at it’s finest.

THIS is a such great example of what can happen when like-minded, high-vibe energies get together! You can literally solve mysteries. So fun! And how lucky were we to be able to solve this mystery so quickly? I had a piece of the puzzle. I shared details of that piece with my friend, and then she was able to find the final piece of the puzzle (which she got from this male Spirit’s own relative!) Crazy! Together, we finished the puzzle. We solved it, with the help of Spirit of course!

Thank you, Spirit! Thank you for choosing us. We shared your message with your granddaughter, and she was floored! Thank you for pushing me to finish this blog. I forgot about it until today when you popped in to remind me. Since the spare bedroom encounter, more details about her grandpa have been discovered. Now I wish I would have given the poor guy time to talk. LOL.

This is what it’s all about, my friends! What seemed like a simple, random encounter was just the opposite. It was soooo much more! It was Divine intervention. ALL of it was supposed to happen so Grandpa could get his message to his granddaughter. Spirit knows exactly what they are doing. They will take advantage of any opportunity to get their messages ‘heard,’ even if the Medium (ahem, me) tries her best to ignore them. ;)

Thank you for reading!
