Hello. My name is Joy. The light just followed. I have come to be known as Joy Light based on my website name. I will explain how that came about later. Some call me Psychic Joy, some just call me Joy. To me, the name is just part of who I am. Each of us follow our own path, find our own way, and go thru our own personal experiences and trauma(s). Along our journey we encounter life experiences that help us learn, grow, and become who we truly are. I call them stepping stones. My stepping stones were the psychic experiences I had early in life. I questioned if they really happened, (yet knew they did), but I was too young to have the tools or words to express them. As I grew older I was drawn to reading material on metaphysical subjects, I came into contact with mentors and others who helped teach me about the psychic realm, and I had periods where I denied or stuffed my psychic experiences down inside to avoid having others think I was strange, weird, or even worse, mentally imbalanced. It was my father, also gifted, who helped me come to understand my gifts. His mind was far beyond his time while in the physical world, and although I lost him at a young age, he was here in the physical long enough to give me a solid base from which to work and grow spiritually. It is his unconditional love that I draw my strength from, and God's gift that I have been blessed with that moves me forward.
Since early childhood I have received premonitions of events to come, and understand the "pathos" of knowing in advance such devastating events such as earthquakes, airplane crashes, natural disasters, and sudden death. I am clairvoyant, clairaudient, and clairsentient and a few other things I have not figured out yet. As a Spirit Medium I receive messages from loved ones who have crossed over, giving me the special ability to channel communication between the earthly world and the wonderful world of Spirit. Through my psychic abilities as a medium I have learned to trust my connection, giving names, dates, events and information that can be validated by my clients. I channel such information in a positive light for others. Knowing the peace, joy and comfort they receive from these readings, deepens my dedication to all who seek answers.
Most of my life I have been able to see, hear, sense, and feel energies not of physical form, but always present around us. In early childhood, this truly was a difficult position for me, as I was not psychologically or emotionally prepared to work with and understand my insights. I stuffed my premonitions and advance knowledge of events deep down inside. I read about paranormal topics, discarding those things that made no sense, and relying on those precious few pieces of truth that I found hidden deep inside the books written by mystics, prophets and spiritual counselors. As my life moved forward, I found my personal belief system conflicted with mainstream society. I searched for inner truth, I read on all religions, and I tried hard to make myself "fit" into their teachings. There was even a period in my life where I went through counseling to find out why "psychic episodes" kept happening to me. I thought that if I dug deep down inside of me and cleared out all my "baggage", then the psychic experiences would stop. I was successful in working through my childhood scars and life's inner trauma, but the visions, premonitions, and voices continued to penetrate. I came to terms with my abilities only after I accepted them to be a part of me, "who I am". Once I stopped resisting my natural psychic gift I found healthy ways to work with the flow of "energies" that exist on different levels of consciousness. I was able to remove the blocks that kept me from being fluid and transparent in a world of energy. Learning how to work with the Spirit energies around me came through professional training in mediumship. Learning how to openly share my natural spiritual gift came from you, my clients, who validate each and every reading with feedback, facts, and words of thank. It has been a long road of searching, seeking, and finding, but today, I am here, I am who I am, and I am always happy. And yes, I talk to dead people, and they talk to me.
In 1992, before the world wide web existed, I was writing information on a piece of paper. I stopped to rest for a minute, when suddenly and without effort on my part, a force unknown to me moved my hand and wrote the words Joy Light on the paper. Then the word Oneness appeared. I did not understand what had happened to me, but through research, I found out it was called automatic writing. I set it aside. In 1997, I wanted to create a website offering information about metaphysical topics. It was then I realized why Joy Light had come to me and I knew I needed to create the Joy Light Center website. As the website evolved, I evolved and in 1999 I was catapulted out into the world of professional psychic by a friend who pushed me to share my gift. Everything moved very fast. It seems the Universe simply stepped in and took over, guiding me and placing me where I needed to be. In 1999 I was reading for different psychic forums. In 2001 I was introduced to Sandy Anastasi who trained John Edward, a world famous psychic medium. Under her guidance I completed my training and certification in psychic mediumship. In 2002, another chance meeting opened the door to training and certification in Reiki Levels I, II, and III. In 2003 my psychic friend Debra and I started an online Psychic Group to help educate the online community in authentic psychic mediumship. We offered free psychic reading sessions to help others learn how Spirit works thru all things. As a result of those sessions we were flooded with a sea of requests for our services from folks who heard about us through word of mouth, thru friends, or other psychics. Thru the years I have been pushed and pulled to find ways to balance my personal life with my life path. Today I just go with the flow, knowing there is much yet to do, much to accomplish, much to share, and trust that the Universe will help me continue to find a way to balance my "life work" with my daily life demands.
I really do not like the word psychic because it raises images of commercialized fortune telling, psychic scams, etc. rather than the true meaning of the word. If I could invent a new word to be used in mainstream society that would accurately represent the kind of work I do, I would. To be identified in the same category as tarot reader, astrology reader, and those who use divination tools to "enhance" their readings is misleading. I do not use divination tools. When I read I connect directly with Spirit energies and your energy and guides. This is not a gift I learned, but a gift I was given from birth. I have learned how to work with the energy, and how to turn it off or on when I do psychic readings, but I have not been able to find the words to explain how I do that. So I will just tell you what I believe and know to be true for me.
As I stated earlier, I believe we each find our own path as we seek to understand our own Spirituality. Myself, I believe we are all spiritual beings in physical form and we are spiritual beings in energy form. When I read I connect with Spirit "Beings" that do not have physical bodies. Their level of consciousness, their ability to communicate and convey messages, their ability to intervene and help guide us on a daily basis, for me, is factual. There is no myth to it. There is no sin to it. There is no religion to it. But because it is not tangible to our five physical senses, one's own personal belief system becomes the driving force in understanding, accepting, or rejecting it. I struggled with my psychic abilities for years, but once I accepted my gifts and ability to connect with the other side, I also accepted me, the full essence of me "Who I Am".
My work, my life path, is to help others understand the unity and inner-connectedness of all things, the Oneness that we all share as Spiritual Beings in human form. Today, I share my gift as I travel my spiritual path, I communicate messages from loved ones on the other side, and I marvel at the unconditional love that vibrates through me each time I connect with Spirit Energies. Their authentic, sincere, spontaneous, and sometimes hilarious ways of conveying messages are beyond explanation, but I have faith in my connection with them, and do not fear. Each time I open up to the Wonderful World of Spirit I am comforted by their loving energy as they help me touch you soul to soul and guide you along your path. I honor their messages and allow them to tell their stories in their own way, and in their own time. When you validate all that Spirit conveys by confirming the information they provide, I am amazed. It is truly a spiritual experience for "all" of us. However, what I believe does not have to make sense to you. It did not make sense to me for a long time. I will at times post a personal psychic experience that may help you better understand my journey....and your journey as well if you have had psychic experiences. It is good to share. We should not be afraid to tell anyone.
As I close my story, I am inspired to leave you with this message from all that I have learned. Your personal belief system is one of your most important resources. Be it based in religion, be it based in spirituality, be it based in faith, develop it, understand it, and trust in it. Your mystical experiences, be they through dreams, inner sight, gut feelings, or unexplained miracles really do occur. Listen to their message. But above all, go within to the inner silence of your Being, come to terms with the essence of you, and accept yourself for who you are. Open yourself to the true understanding of your Spirituality. Namaste!
