Q1.
Doreen, you are known as a person who works directly with Angels
to gain insight and inspiration to help us in our lives. If you
can put it into words, what is the energy of an angel like and
how would you describe them in terms of their personality when
they interact with you?
A.
If you asked 100 people who there angels were, 50 of them would
say they were deceased loved ones, and the other 50 would say
their angels were winged beings.
In my workshops, I conduct mediumship (similar to John Edwards
and James Von Praugh) and also angel readings. That means, that
I tell people who their angels and spirit guides are, and deliver
any messages from them. The departed loved ones are very sweet
people, nothing frightening or gorey like depicted in Hollywood
movies. Their personalities are similar to when the person was
living.
If
someone was spiritual, optimistic, or caring while living, that's
how they come across in a reading. If they were mischievous, then
they tend to make a lot of jokes during the session. During my
Friday evening seminar, I'll also help people who worry how their
departed loved one is doing. Many people worry if their deceased
loved one is sad or alone in heaven, and these sessions help to
relieve the living's worries.
Q2.
When did you have first contact with an angel, and how did you
know it was an angel and not some other entity disguised as one?
A.
I was born a psychic medium, although I didn't realize it until
much later, because I couldn't tell which people I was seeing
were dead and which were alive. They all looked 3-D and solid
to me. Today, the deceased look more wispy than the living world,
so I am able to distinguish the two. I've always seen the bright
lights of the angels, and I know that lower-entities can't disguise
this light, because it only comes from the Love of God. They could
dress up in an angel costume, but they couldn't mimic the Divine
light or the loving messages of true angels.
Q3.
Some people believe Jesus' words in the Bible are the only divine
source of guidance -- not angels. What do the angels say in response
to such a belief?
A.
When I use the term, "angel," I'm using is as an umbrella term
to describe anyone who helps us, and that definitely includes
Jesus. I work with him very closely, and follow his guidance carefully.
However, I'm very clear that my mission isn't to "push" Jesus
onto other people, but to live according to his example as best
as I can. In my workshops, I teach people to learn how to better
hear the voice of Heaven. For some people, that means that they'll
have more clear interactions with Jesus. For others, it means
that they'll be better able to hear the voice of God, their guardian
angel, departed loved one, an ascended master, or all of the above.
People come to my workshops to learn how to clear the static off
the line, so that they can see, hear, feel, and know their spiritual
helpers.
Angels
are non-denominational, and that's one reason why I love working
with them, and teaching about them. No one holds wars over angels!
All religions, eastern and western, ancient and modern, have archetypes
of benevolent spiritual helpers. They may use terms other than,
"angels" to describe them, but it's clear from their descriptions
that we're all talking about the same thing.
Q4.
You will be returning to the Twin Cities for two days, April 19-20,
at Unity Church Golden Valley to present "Messages from Your Angels."
What does it really take for an average person to get such messages
on their own, and to what extent is your mission about helping
people to do just that?
A.
On Friday night, I'll walk through the audience giving as many
readings as possible to random audience members. I'll also interweave,
between the readings, a general discussion of life-after-death,
heaven, and angels. I'll also answer questions, of course. On
Saturday, I'll be teaching audience members how THEY can access
these same sort of messages on their own, without a psychic or
other intermediary.
After
my life was saved by an angel during a car-jacking in 1995, I
asked God how I could repay him for sending an angel to save my
life. I was told, "Teach as many people as possible, as quickly
as possible, how to hear their angels." The very next day, I embarked
on this mission. Since then, I've traveled nearly non-stop around
the globe, teaching tens of thousands of adults and children of
all backgrounds.
I
help people to clear the fears and doubts that block our spiritual
hearing and vision. I think that my training in psychology (I
hold doctoral, masters, and bachelor degrees in psychology) helps
me to identify and clear away these fears. Every weekend, over
seventy percent of the audience tells me that they experience
clairvoyance during my workshops - meaning that they've been able
to see an angel, departed loved one, aura, or some visual symbol
in their mind's eye. I constantly hear from audience members,
"This workshop changed my life," because it teaches them how spiritually
powerful they truly are.
Q5.
Why should someone make a specific effort to connect with their
angels?
A.
I feel that it is vital that we all re-open our spiritual gifts
and open up to the voice of the Divine. It is the "emergency broadcast
system" that keeps us safe and protected. After my carjacking,
I knew that in times of danger, God always sends angels. However,
I learned first-hand that it was up to me to listen to the angels'
warnings. They tried to help me, but if I hadn't listened, they
couldn't have helped me. The world is changing so rapidly, and
many people are paralyzed with fear and anxiety about the future.
The angels can guide us through these changes, and give us solid
guidance that we can trust. They also help us to stay calm during
crises, and heal away negative situations, while extracting the
lessons contained therein.
Q6.
What's the difference between angels and spirit guides and how
does theinformation given by each compare?
A.
The departed loved ones give "down to earth" advice, such as whether
to return to night school; selling their house; their love life;
health concerns, and such. You might say that our departed loved
ones function like "micro-managers" when helping us. Our guardian
angels are "macro-managers," who help us with more global and
spiritual concerns, such as our life's purpose, releasing fears
and doubts, and avoiding the ego's traps. It's just as easy to
hear the voice of God and the other higher-ups, as it is to hear
the voice of dear old Uncle Fred. For important life issues, you'll
want to contact God, Jesus, or some other pure soul. But there's
nothing wrong with contacting Uncle Fred to say, "Hello, I love
you and am thinking of you!" or to ask him about his secret for
clearing 1957 Chevy carburetors.
Q7.
Give us a picture of what someone will experience at your event
in the Twin Cities.
A.The
workshops are fun and inspiring experiences. For one thing, you're
surrounded by audience members who are like-minded. Many of them
have had angel experiences or recent losses, and I love when audience
members create a community of support and encouragement for each
other. On Friday night, I walk through the audience with a wireless
microphone, so that I can give as many readings as possible.
Usually,
the departed loved ones will call me over to their living loved
one, and ask me to deliver specific messages. So, I'll follow
their lead. The angels and ascended masters come through to let
the person know that their prayers have been heard, and are being
answered. Saturday morning begins with a wonderful concert with
the incredible band, "Angel Earth," who is touring with me. Then,
I give a general overview of the most common fears and doubts
that block our Divine guidance and intuition. I firmly believe
that all of us possess spiritual gifts that allow us to see and
hear angels, if we'll only give up these fears. Then, after the
morning break, the audience members enjoy a deep, clearing meditation
with the angels accompanied by beautiful music.
They
conduct angel readings on each other, learning how to do mediumship,
see and interpret aura colors (which reveal our life purpose and
general emotional state), and to see and hear the voices of angels.
They might see these angels in their mind's eye, as whispy fragments,
or as full-color, three-dimensional visions - everyone is different.
But the point is that these angel readings help audience members
to get corroboration that validates their spiritual visions as
being real, instead of imaginary. At the end of the day, we hold
question and answer sessions. And graduates of my Angel Therapy
Practitioner course are on-hand to provide personal counseling
or encouragement for audience members.
Q
8. For those who plan to see you in April, what advance homework
would you give if they would like to prepare in advance for what
you will be teaching them?
A.
No homework or preparation is needed for Friday night - just come
as you are, and be prepared for some powerful and very pleasant
experiences. I am not out to convert or convince anyone about
life-after-death or angels. I think that only experiences can
create our beliefs. So, my only goal is to create experiences
where people can make up their own minds about what they believe.
On
Saturday, we ask that you dress in layers, as the room temperature
fluctuates due to the influx of angels in and out of the room.
Also, it's great to bring a pillow and blanket, so that you can
lie down during the morning meditation. Someone once commented
that my meditations look like slumber parties - people don't fall
asleep, but the angels do take them to a very deep place in the
unconscious, where healing can occur.
Q9.
I understand you will be joined by some special musical guests,
the international group AngelEarth. Describe why you chose to
have them accompany you and what effect does their music have
on you?
A.
I'll tell you, God is so good to me! Angel Earth is one of the
greatest bands I've ever had the privilege of knowing, hearing,
and working with! The band consists of Michael Wise on guitar
and lead vocals, his son Sean on bass and vocals, and Mark Watson
on keyboards. They travel all over the U.S. and Canada with me,
and audiences are wowed by their talent and music skills! Every
weekend, their music sounds better than ever! People keep telling
me, "When I first heard them, I thought they were lip-sinking
to a C.D., because their sound is so rich, I couldn't imagine
it was live music." The band plays original and cover soft rock
before and after the workshops. And Mark Watson plays the most
amazing meditative piano music during the angel meditations. His
music just takes people away from ordinary consciousness!
Q10.
Our featured topic this month is on death and dying. What special
message do the angels have for our readers at this time on how
to cope with the fear of dying or the loss of a loved one or pet?
Mediumship is the fastest route to healing from grief that I've
found. I used to practice traditional grief counseling, but I've
given it up in favor of mediumship and angel therapy.
Most
grief comes from the living person being worried about their departed
loved one. They worry, "Is my loved one happy? Are they in heaven?
Are they angry with me? Could I have prevented the death? Was
I there for them enough? Are they alone in heaven?" and so forth.
Of course, they miss the physical presence of their departed loved
one, but the large share of grief are these worries. Through mediumship,
you get rapid answers to these questions. You begin to understand
that there's no such thing as death. Only the body dies. The soul
and personality live on. Not only that, but the soul is usually
much happier in heaven. If they didn't finish their life's purpose,
they'll often act as "spirit guide" to the living person, to vicariously
fulfill their mission through that living person. There are many
ways to conduct mediumship, and we'll be going through them thoroughly
during the Saturday workshop. Some of the methods include seeing
a medium such as myself at a workshop, seeing a medium privately,
writing a letter to a departed loved one, holding silent conversations
with the loved one, or asking the loved one to visit you in your
dreams.
But
most of all, remember to tell your loved ones, living or deceased,
that you love them. We can't say those words too often!
