Talking to Spirits – How to Contact Deceased Friends and Relatives From Home

Posted by admin on May 8, 2012

Are you interested in spirit communication? 

Does the idea of opening a wild, wacky and wonderful window into the world of spiritual beings sound scary……or scintillating and sensational?  In my many years of experience with psychic and paranormal research, I can tell you that there are 3 very specific camps that most people fall into.

  1. “True Blue” believers
  2. Hard core skeptics and cynics
  3. The CURIOUS but not convinced

Which one are you?

The truth is, you can get all of the personal proof and afterlife evidence you want, without having to believe anything I say is true, or to take the skeptics at their word, either.  The afterlife IS available to be studied by anyone with a sincere interest, and who is willing to go out on a bit of a limb and be adventurous with respect to the unknown.

I want to share with you 4 things you can do to begin to experience the afterlife NOW.  These all have worked wonderfully well for me, and have opened me  up to an amazing array of experiences over the years that I didn’t believe possible.  Remember though, just because something works for one person….doesn’t mean that it will work well for the next.  That’s why it’s important to use different channels, approaches and mediums (no pun intended!) for accessing the kind of evidence AND experiences that work for you.

  • Ouija Boards and Spiritual Tools
  • EVP (voice activated digital recording of electronic voice phenomena)
  • Psychic Mediums
  • Meditation

Many of these things work really well together.  For example, using a digital recording device while “working” with a ouija board can be a very cool experience, and can yield amazingly empowering results.

One one hand….the ouija board planchette is moving around seemingly on it’s own, and then later…..when you listen to the recording, EVP’s are captured very clearly that you KNOW you didn’t audibly hear while using the board.

Spooky?  It can be!

But exciting?  If you are genuinely interested in spirit communication……..Very!

Again, meditating before speaking to a psychic medium can be very effective for me as well, as does practicing meditation in general, on a daily basis prove to be a great spiritual tool for opening yourself up to realities that are closed off during ordinary consciousnesses.

And remember……one of the most important lessons I’ve learned from 20 years of exploration is this:

it’s often equally as difficult for your loved ones to come through on THEIR side, as it is for us, to access them….on ours.

Using time tested tools and techniques like above may be controversial to some…..but there is a reason they’ve been along for as long as they have and continue to be used.

They WORK!  (And if you don’t believe me….I challenge you to see for yourself!)

Is Spirit Communication REAL? The Best Way to Get PROOF The Afterlife is Real

Posted by admin on May 1, 2012

I can still remember the first  experience I had that convinced me of the afterlife…….very, very vividly.

I didn’t believe easily.  As a matter of fact, as many of you already know, I RESISTED the idea strenuously instead.

Why?

I was a hard core skeptic who thought that all talk of psychics, mediums, past lives and paranormal powers was all a bunch of new age nonsense….and wishful thinking mumbo jumbo.

Even having a few very smart and scientific members of my immediate family in the  medical profession, who reported incredible experiences related to them by patients, didn’t sway my skepticism a bit.

Needless to say, for me to believe in spirits, or even open my mind a crack….was going to take an exceptional, once in a lifetime kind of  experience that left no room for doubt, or alternative explanations that appealed to my common sense.

Of course you know what I’m going to say next, right?

As hard as it was for me to admit…..I HAD that exact experience.

Here is what happened:

I spoke to a psychic medium by phone, who came highly recommended by a few friends.  This was NOT a celebrity or famous reader, but rather….a “simple” psychic who worked at home, by phone…..for one of the larger phone based services.

To say I was dubious that ANY psychic, working from home and by phone, could tell me ACCURATE information about my life, or my loved ones who I had lost, would be the understatement of the century.

Although that’s exactly what happened….and THEN some!

The medium not only told me things about my own life that were obscure, specific and highly accurate, she also told me things about a loved one that I had lost that almost no one else in the world knew.

She told me things about specific conversations we had prior to a recent passing that only myself, and the relative I had lost knew about.

She told me things that I needed to check, in specific places, to resolve a family dispute related to this passing, that even I didn’t know.  (but validated, to my astonishment, by checking an obscure spot in the family home where a clarifying document was left)

There were messages that were both specific and symbolic alike, and NOT the sort of general stuff I was expectncting, based on what I had seen on TV, or read about by other folks who “debunked” psychic readings.

No general statements, leading questions, fishing for answers or cold reading to be found.

Was everything accurate?

Absolutely not.  About 20% of the messages the medium shared with me were either too hard to interpret, or didn’t seem to fit, although most of these misses were in the first 5 minutes, and it wasn’t until a clearer picture started to emerge that the reading got uncannily good.

Could she have guessed any of the amazing “hits” or even gotten them from my friends who recommended I call her in the first place?

No way any of this could be guessed….and even if my friends would have set me up in a dishonest way (which I don’t believe for a second) the intimate information shared in the 30 minutes we spoke went WELL beyond the kind of stuff they knew, or you would share with friends when close family passes away. 

The most impressive parts of the reading contained information that not even my siblings knew….or know, even to this very day.

My best advice for you?

If you are skeptical about psychic mediums…..or that there is an afterlife, or that your loved ones MAY be closer than you think, talk to a few mediums and find out firsthand.

If you are curious but NOT convinced?

The same advice applies!

Reading articles like this one will NEVER give you the certainty that you seek.  Neither will watching mediums on TV, reading books or even listening to what the skeptics say instead.

The only way to get PROOF positive is to have the actual experiences yourself.

Remember -

One bad reading doesn’t mean anything at all.  I’ve had plenty  of them since that fateful day.  I’ve also had hundreds of incredible experiences, with amazingly talented clairvoyants who have changed what I believe is possible……forever.

Why do I say don’t OVERDO it?

Because when you have an amazing experience with “the other side”, the temptation is often to want to keep having the experience over and over again and it CAN become an obsession.  (especially if you really miss the person and want to keep the connection alive)

Instead, I recommend simply having a few readings until you find an AMAZING psychic who is right for you.

He or she WILL give you the evidence and the comfort that you seek….and then step back and be happy for yourself, and your loved ones are never far……and will be there for you when you need them most.

 

Psychic Scams? How to Tell if a Psychic is Telling the Truth

Posted by admin on April 25, 2012

Some “psychics” lie.

Some guess. Some fish for answers. And some just take your money and don’t care what happens afterwards at all.

And yet, some psychics are SO amazingly intuitive, enlightening and inspiring that a reading can have a profound effect on how you perceive your past, enjoy your present and pursue your future as well.

I know from first hand experience, as I’ve had just about every type of reading under the sun.

For example?

The kind of reading where you’ve just had something amazingly important happen in your life….and yet, 20 minutes in, the reader is still telling you about something small, trivial and totally off base.

Or, the kind of reading where the reader looks up at you expectantly after everything they utter…..looking for some slender shred of recognition or acknowledgement that they should pursue this path in the hope they hit something that fits.

Or, the kind of reading that the psychic gets BELLIGERENT when you tell them that they are off base. (Even when you say it really politely, too!) Everyone who has experience with psychics, clairvoyants or mediums over a long period of time knows this type of reader…and the more they “miss”, the angrier and more insistent they get. No fun.

And yet, once in a while you get that reading where information comes through that is so accurate, and so incredible that your jaw drops. When you hear something from a loved one who has crossed that you KNOW in your bones would be impossible for the psychic or medium go get on their own. Or when a reading just “gets” you on this incredible intuitive level, and you KNOW the advice is so fresh, unique and life changing, that you literally have an “A-HA” moment out loud.

So how do you have MORE of the kinds of readings that blow you away, and LESS of the ones you want to immediately forget?

The truth is, there is NO single, simple answer: Instead, here is a simple checklist that has served ME well over the last decade as a psychic researcher and publisher, and that still serves me incredibly well today.

Prepare properly for EVERY reading.

Write down a small list of questions you want answered, before the reading begins, and let THEM control the direction of the reading. (rather than allowing the psychic to go on a tangent or direction they’d prefer)

  1. Stick with the SAME psychics:
  2. I can’t tell you how important it is to find readers you TRUST, and stick by them…much the way you’d trust any other professional. After all, you wouldn’t keep switching doctors after every visit, would you? When you find someone you LIKE, work at cultivating a relationship that grows closer over time. I still speak to the same psychics today that I called 5 years ago….and this personal connection makes ALL my readings powerful, productive and enlightening.
  3. Know when to say NO! When a psychic is getting it wrong, speak UP. Don’t accept bad information, or offer wishy washy responses to wrong readings. Remember, you control what you create in this world, and if you want genuine guidance from the Universe, or from spirit, or from your guides, or whatever you believe in…..you have to be willing to participate.

Lastly, when your own gut tells you something is wrong with a reading, and the insight, information or direction doesn’t sit well, STOP it, end it, or simply hang up the phone. The truth is, your own intuition is the most powerful ally in the world when it comes to discerning fact from fiction…and listening to it SHOULD be your tool for transformation as well.

I Think I’m Psychic! The Truth About Psychic Experiences (No Bull)

Posted by admin on April 4, 2012

Who else has had a “psychic moment” ? 

Have you had an intuitive experience that was so odd that you were almost embarrassed to tell anyone what happened?  I’ve had many, many weird moments of psychic serendipity in my life, but probably only 5 or 6 things SO profound that I didn’t know how to process what had happened, once I had a moment to scratch my head and reflect.

The truth is, no matter what you believe is fact, or fiction…..everyone has glimpses, flashes and dashes of deep intuitive insights, and those moments happen far more than many of us like to admit. (especially if you are super skeptical like many of MY friends are)

For example?  Believe it or not, precognitive dreams are very, very common….and in 2012, there are several major scientific studies right now focusing on JUST that one area alone.   Speaking of dreams, lucid dreams and spirit visitation dreams are 2 other very common psychic experiences that are very evidential, and can be some of the very BEST proof that the paranormal is in fact, very real.  Years ago, for example…..I had a dream visitation from a friend I hadn’t seen in several years, where he stood at the foot of my bed and just watched me with a calm, serene look on his face.  When I woke up the next morning, and arrived at work……I learned he had passed away suddenly in the middle of the night.

Very strange.  Yet very true.  How does one explain something like that away?  When it happens to YOU, it’s very tough not to be changed forever by this type of experience.

Feelings of extraordinary knowing are very common as well…..such as knowing who is going to be on the other end of the phone BEFORE You pick it up, and it NOT being someone common, or who you hear from often.

(I’ve had this experience many times with email even, or have thought of a really, really old friend for the first time in years, often mere hours before getting a Facebook friend request, or an email that comes out of left field…..from that very person)

How does one explain that?

Or process that intelligently, without just brushing it off as chance, luck or sheer coincidence.  (something all of the skeptics, debunkers and cynics are HAPPY to do for you, and laugh at the mere suggestion that psychic serendipity may be at play)

What about crazy paranormal or spiritual experiences like OBE’s (out of body experiences) or astral projection, or having an experience with a spiritual energy or even a deceased loved one?  (I’ve had several of those in the last 5 years, and it WILL change what you believe, as it certainly did for me)

Feelings of deja vu?

They are pretty common as well!  Past life memories (which I’m not 100% sure how I feel about, or how much credence I give most of these reports) or even incredible experiences with psychics, clairvoyants or mediums who tell you things you KNOW are 100% impossible for them to have known, and yet…….they know them anyway.

I believe you’ve got to BE a bit psychic yourself, to have a successful experience with a psychic or medium, but that is something we’ll talk about in more depth in another article :-)

What is a Genuine Psychic Like? 3 Good Qualities EVERY Real Psychic Will Have

Posted by admin on March 26, 2012

Do all psychics and mediums share the same gifts?  And if they all have the same skill, is the advice I should expect from each reading going to be the same?    If not….what are the differences?  How can I tell a real, authentic psychic or medium from someone who is just pretending, or making it up, or is still learning on the “job”?

Let me share with you the one consistent truism I’ve encountered in 2 decades of writing, researching and exploring psychic phenomena, both personally and professionally alike.

As a self confessed paranormal junkie…….the ONE challenge, over and above all else, has always been to be able to spot a psychic scam, before I waste my time, energy, effort and income…..on a reader who is trying to pull a fast one.

And the good news is, while this may be surprising to some….there really are very few “scam” artists out there, although there are certainly a small minority who make a lot of noise and news.

The bad news?

There are lots of professional intuitive’s who aren’t really all that psychic…..and who may have good people skills, aren’t worth paying for their predictive powers, insight or illumination at all.  (I tend to find that only about 1 in 10 of the professional psychics are really impressive and worth paying to see)

With that in mind, lets’ look at 3 qualities every good psychic or medium WILL have (bar none)

1 – An Area of Specialty

Good psychics specialize.  It’s really true.  I’ve rarely found that a really gifted intuitive was a “jack of all trades” and did many things really well.  For example?  A gifted medium will NOT do future predictions, or do detailed “love readings” or tell you about your past lives.  (unless of course that information is coming through from your loved one “on the other side”.  The key to getting a great reading is to know what you need ahead of time, and stick with psychics and mediums who do that one thing REALLY well.

2 – They are HUMBLE (And Open Minded about Themselves….AND Their Abilities)

I’ll never forget speaking to famous medium John Edward last summer in a small group session, and he told us that he was always skeptical of the information that comes through, and where it’s coming from.  Losing that sense of wonder, and curiosity about HOW exactly these things work…..even when you HAVE the power, in my experience, is almost always a bad sign.  As a matter of fact, after hundreds of readings, I can honestly tell you that the more over-confident a clairvoyant is, the more insistent they are that they are always right, the less confidence I have in their ability to deliver what they promise.

3 – A track record of success (and the fans and followers that go with it!)

There are very few “amazing” psychics, from your local community to the more popular online networks that are unknowns.  If a reader is GOOD, they  have fans, friends and followers who are anxious to spread the word.  If a reader or a psychic service has been around for a while but has no “history” to check, it’s a bad sign and NOT someone I would trust paying a large fee to speak with.  The good news is, there are lots of well established, well credentialed clairvoyants who ARE as good as advertised….and who are willing to offer you a performance promise to back it up.

Remember, much like any other professional services industry, there are LOTS of amazing mediums and gifted intuitives out there, and plenty of quacks and crackpots to go along with them.  Learning to separate out which group is which is the KEY to having great psychic experiences, and the 3 simple traits above are a great place to start!
