I was watching a YouTube thingy the other night, featuring the young psychic/medium, Tyler Henry. He was doing a psychic reading for a celebrity client, explaining that he asks all clients to provide an object related to someone they want to connect with. It helps him get the “conversation” started, so did she bring one? …
Lily Dale
Lessons from Lily Dale
I recently stumbled across an article about the spiritual community of Lily Dale in upstate New York. It brought back a bunch of memories about a trip that I took there a few years back, which I feel like revisiting. If you’re not familiar, here’s a quick refresher: Lily Dale was established well over a …
Why Psychic Development Should Be On Your Bucket List
I recently had a client here who told me that he was taking a psychic development class. But he quickly added that he had no intention of “turning pro” like Yours Truly. Another one of my blog followers posted something similar in a comment. As if becoming a professional psychic, medium, animal communicator or whatever …
Getting A Sign From The Dead
I was at a demonstration of mediumship last week, a gallery demo where the mediums would present messages from spirit-side to the audience. Because I was working the door, I had a unique perspective as I sat in the back. As the audience members engaged with the mediums, I was made super-aware of how we …
Psychics and Religion
A few years ago, I used to read at a local New Age shop. And you could pretty much count on getting some nasty piece of literature shoved under the door each week, claiming that what we were doing was “evil,” “of the devil,” we were going to Hell, blah blah blah. I’ve gotten similar …
How To Meet Your Spirit Animal
Once when I was taking a mediumship development class, the teacher gave me a long, penetrating look. That’s always a bit weird. Spinach in my teeth? Someone doing “bunny ears” behind my head? WHAT? She took a deep breath, pointed at me and said, “You must always bring an animal through from the Other Side …
The Psychic Power of Joy
One of my favorite movies was on TCM the other night: A Hard Day’s Night is celebrating its 50th anniversary. Watching it again, I found myself smiling, laughing and dancing along to the Beatles music in my pajamas. I started thinking about one of the reasons the Fab Four were such a break-out phenomenon: its widely thought …
Can Anyone Be A Medium?
So I was just at this weekend workshop for advanced mediumship training – always good to tune things up, learn some new skills, stretch a little. During a break, I was chatting with one of the other students about what we did, etc. I made a comment that I believe everyone has psychic ability. She …
Boo! Some Thoughts On Ghosts
Last night, I was still in a food coma from Thanksgiving and all its leftovers, so I found myself on the couch watching a marathon of one of those ghost/haunting shows. Things flying through the air, funky smells, noises, apparitions, lots of screaming people. Made me happy for my quiet little un-haunted house. But it …
Sylvia Browne, The Imperfect Psychic
I was saddened to see that Sylvia Browne passed away. Although I got the feeling that she had been sick for awhile – she didn’t look good in some recent pictures. So I’m glad she’s at peace and romping on the Other Side. That must be some party. Anyway, as I was scanning the news …
