Who is SpiritLight?
My real name is Deirdre. I was named after the tragic Irish heroine in John Millington Synge's book, "Deirdre of the Sorrows." What that has to do with anything is still becoming clear to me. Suffice it to say, I have been aware of my psychic gifts since I was a child, and like many mediums or psychics, I did not consciously recognize how to use these gifts until much later. I came to recognize them in full force when I reached my middle twenties and predicted many incidents, which were avoided due to forewarnings. One involved my own car catching on fire, which I was able to put out in time because of a prior warning I had received just as I was leaving the house. On one occasion, I "heard" the sounds of a car crashing on the road ahead of us when nobody else in the car heard it. Shortly after, we came upon the accident scene. I "sensed" the danger of a collision with my own car, which gave me the opportunity to change my mind about taking my children with me and left them at home with their father. However, as it was important for me to go, regardless, I made sure I drove 5 miles an hour down the country road I had to travel on -- ultimately avoiding the inevitable collision by inches. Later, I predicted dangerously defective wheels on a friend's new rental car, and a bad tire on my daughter's brand new car before the recent tire fiasco become known, although these defects were not noticeable to the naked eye.
Danger, however, is not the only thing I sense. I am able to interpret people's motives, can read through the written word to get to the core of the meaning, and have used my sentient gift when hiring people. I am able to discern if a person is telling the truth. I "see" what they are saying, but I know when it is not Truth. I don't judge them. I don't think they are "bad" for not telling the truth, I simply know they are not, and that the situation in which I find myself is what it is. It is that simple. It is as though I am a machine, recording the information, unable to make even the slightest judgment or able to give the slightest reaction. It just IS what it IS.
I have also been graced with the gift of automatic writing. Faced with a particularly stressful time in my life, I found myself one lonely evening, writing automatically. The message that came through was clear and evident -- I had to keep studying to learn more about these gifts from God. When I "found" Ruth Montgomery and realized I was not alone in this unusual gift, I was very relieved.
However, my father's illness with cancer was what brought me to seriously begin studying this phenomenon in earnest. During this time, I put all my energy into the study of what healing energy was all about and attended numerous workshops, including Dr. Bernie S. Siegel's Exceptional Cancer Patients (Author of: Love, Medicine & Miracles), and I held my own healing circles. Most recently, I have attended seminars and workshops facilitated by: Jean Houston's A New Mind For a New Millennium (Author of: A Mythic Life: Learning to Live Our Greater Story) at Rowe Camp, Dr. Carolyn Myss (Anatomy of the Spirit), and Stewart Pearce (The Alchemy of Voice). I have attended numerous other psychic phenomenon seminars, including those about UFO's and Alien Abductions (Budd Hopkins, John White, et al), and have taken Brandon Bays' The Journey.
Throughout my entire life, I have been fascinated with philosophy and religion. Born and baptized in the Church of England, I have explored many faiths including, the Episcopal, Baptist, Roman Catholic, and Methodist Churches, the Spiritualist Church, Buddhism and have attended Synagogue with my husband, as well as Evangelical services. I consider myself a Christian and believe that Jesus Christ is my brother with whom I can commune at will. (Click here to read more about what I believe on this subject) I do not believe, however, that those who do not have my beliefs are "doomed" forever. I have a universal belief that all religions belong to one Source, which is the God of Us All and I embrace people of all religions. I also believe it is wrong to disagree with another's right to practice their own religion in the way they see fit. I have studied Edgar Cayce's transcripts and read many books on various subjects ranging from: the Conversations With God Trilogy and those that followed, to the Bible, Classical Poetry, Shakespeare, Deepak Chopra, Whitley Strieber (Communion Series), Sylvia Browne, James Van Praagh, Gary Zukov, James Redfield (Celestine Prophecy Series), George Anderson (We Don't Die), and all variations in between. As mentioned above, I am an admirer of Ruth Montgomery, whom I consider my mentor, and who provided me with the solace I so desperately needed when my father was ailing, and I began to question what life on this earth was all about.
In my professional life, I have had a full career in the administration of many businesses and am a certified Reiki Practitioner and Master Teacher and member of the International Association of Reiki Professionals and the American Board of Reiki. I own and operate my own Reiki studio and offer career counseling and resume consultation/administrative services (http://www.spiritlightworks.com). My career includes: program administrator for a theater school, real estate property manager, travel agent, executive assistant to the VP for development at a private 4-year college, assistant to the executive director of an art museum and personal assistant to an author. I am married and have two amazing adult children, plus 4 great step children and 2 lovely step grandchildren. My own four grandchildren (the lights of my life) were born in October 2000, January 2003, September 2004 and October 2006. Click for Nathanial, for Jacob, for Victor and for Kaitlyn respectively.
I resigned from my longstanding career to devote more time to the healing arts in the quest to help others. I feel that it is time to commit -- for better or for worse. I believe that we have to LIVE what we BELIEVE. My dream is to eventually expand my current business into a healing center, incorporating many modalities within the healing arts and I am currently writing a book about my experiences.
What I will do for you and how I conduct my readings:
First of all, I care about you. I am a Spiritual Medium/Healer. During meditation, I call in my angelic energies and spirit guides to assist me in requests for healings and readings, and if "they" feel it necessary, enhance the session through automatic writing. My healing gifts encompass all faiths, for I believe that God sends His Angels to guide us on our chosen paths, and that He is available to everyone at any time. I believe in our innate ability to heal ourselves through our soul knowledge, and will call upon my client's own spirit guides and angels to assist and form a healing energy for them to carry with them after I have completed the healing process from my end.
I listen carefully when I counsel. I believe that what might be considered to others as destructive behavior might rather be, on some deeper level, the Source telling the physical body to sit up and listen -- to feel the pain, recognize it, and to then deconstruct or unravel the reasons for this behavior.
Before an appointment or an E-mail Reading with you, I will meditate up to one hour. I will receive visions, hear messages from Spirit and then, if called to do so, will automatically write down what is necessary. This is important, and is the main reason why I will ask for the problem that is troubling you ahead of time. I do not believe in wasting people's money in a chat room or on the phone to get to the heart of the problem. I believe my gift is to be used ethically, or not at all. However, that is not to say that those who do are not genuine. The total time taken for one E-mail reading can be up to two hours at a minimum, for I not only want to meditate on the problem, but then I must decipher my notes afterward. I will compose a message with your reading containing up to 1,000 words. A 15-minute chat session, however, is enough for the basic information to be imparted as all the preparation is done ahead of time. If you need more time after that, the groundwork is already done and can be extended to suit whatever assistance you require. I provide discounts for referrals.
My web site also has a Prayer Circle, which I invite you to join. As well as an In Memoriam page where you may put your loved ones' names.

Testimonials:
Julie writes: "Deirdre put me in touch with one of my Spirit Guides who turned out to be my great grandmother who I never knew. She told me that she was from Czechoslovakia, described her clothing, and said that she had lived by a river, which had blue cornflowers nearby. This was all correct information that I did not have any knowledge of until I checked with my mother, who confirmed every detail. She has also helped me physically with her healing energy ."
Cathleen writes: "All I can say is 'WOW!'. I am still going over what you sent and will take it home tonight to absorb it since there is so much imagery and information. However, I just have to share with you that I cracked up laughing over the 'mares eat oats and does eat oats and so on'. My mother used to sing this refrain to my sister and I and we all used to sing it over and over. It was one of my mother's favorite nursery songs to sing to and with us. I feel strongly you were picking up on my mother's presence."
Gwyn writes: "Thank you very much for your incredible message. Almost every sentence strikes me so much, even the very first message like 'you truly need more inspiration, not only in your studies, but also in your life.' Yes, it's what was happening to me in the past few weeks -- I was lacking of energy and power on both study and my living. Deirdre, thank you very much again. Without you, I may have lived a life in suffering. I really believe in you and your advice and the advice from your angels. I will follow all of that and I will let you know from time to time about this."
Rosalinda writes: "Thank you so much for my reading. I get as much pleasure and joy reading it as I feel you get meditating for me."
Sue writes: "You were right on. I had so much pain the other day....I've been doing the exercise and it is helping. Wow. You got my Aunt's name. Interesting. My mom's sister. And.... my great aunt.....and her son, who was killed suddenly.... he was her favorite. Yes I would like to have another reading. Very cool to get these names. Just too many to be a coincidence."
Maggie writes: "Oh how can I thank you!? This is so important to me -- how many times did [he] say to me [when he was alive] 'when we were good, we were really really good..' And that I was fantastic, and to be good. Just Monday night I was talking to him, and asking for a sign, some way to know he's ok, that it's ok. And I just prayed to be open to it, tho I didn't know what I expected. Then I sort of forgot about my request. And here you are, just a short time later with this. It gives me hope, consolation, and many many tears. God has so blessed me to be connected to you. I am so so deeply grateful. Thank you for sharing your gifts.
Jane writes: "What a gift! This is absolutely amazing and so unexpected. I keep re-reading it and finding more in it. Thank you so much for putting yourself into the channel for me and I know [he] thanks you also for helping him get word through to me. It really helps me forgive and move on to sending him positive energy and thoughts now."
