The implications of talking to dead people

I have started this blog in for two main reasons, one is to share insights and understandings on topic’s that will help and support my clients or anyone else who looking for help. The second reason is to be able to share with the world ,my inner world, my thoughts, feeling and reflections on life. My poetry I have on the blog is the best reflection on the later. So today I would like to share with you an experience I had today within a psychic reading and the reverberating effect it has had on me through the day. Without divulging the details of the reading ,what happen was I came through with the name of the person the client was wanting to connect with who had passed away. I came through with their name and the abbreviation they used to be known by. Obviously for the client this has great validation of the fact this person they had loved and lost was still there. For me as psychic medium it also validates my own abilities and gifts. The experience itself is hard to explain as its very subtle and very delicate .The best metaphor I can use is it feels like my mind is an open space and the name of this person just gets dropped in ,like a coin into a jar. The place this name comes from, or emerges from, inside my mind feels ever so slightly different from the normal churn of thoughts. This thought is different enough, for long enough to pluck it quickly from my mind and share it with the client. Yet more than just game of guessing what thoughts are mine and what aren’t, there is genuine feeling of another person communicating. I have had too many “beyond probable” points of communication to doubt that it’s real. Yet despite this personal evidence it is easy to forget the broader life implication in what this really means. The truth is, in some way somehow, random strangers who I have never meant or never known who have died, connect with me to pass on messages to people still living that they love. What this means is there is reality layered over the world as we know it that is far more mysterious, magical and miraculous than we could imagine. It means that peoples like John Edwards and other successful mediums are the true pioneers of the frontiers of the most unexplored and misunderstood reality on earth. Yet the great news is this is not areas that can be own, sold or exploited and maybe that’s why there is so little interest or research and development that’s goes into truly exploring these things. Connecting and communicating with this universe within our universe is open to anyone wanting to make that connection. Its takes a readiness to unlearn, its takes heart that’s willing to be open but more than anything, it takes a kind of child like curiosity ,with eyes wide open you able to think “ummm what if” Readings like today vividly remind me that in the midst of all the social injustice , fear and anxiety that seems to be surrounding us today, that life is more unknown ,that known. It rapidly dissolve the modern arrogance and disenchantment of “knowing it all” and feeling that there is nothing left to discover or explore. Today’s reading reminds me there is vast universe of undiscovered terrains and connections, mysteries and worlds waiting to be explored. As bat crazy as it may sound this excite me, it inspires me and today’s reading reveals how wonderfully weird and interesting our existents really is and how privilege I am to be part of that magic.

Talking to Dead People

Connecting with Those Who Have Passed “I talk to dead people”, was classic line from the movie “The Sixth Sense”. I remember watching the movie, engaged and riveted by the subject matter as it is so close to what I myself do. Since then there have been a number of different people like John Edward (an international psychic medium) who have made the whole process of communicating and connecting with people that have passed away more accessible to the public.

Why we want to make contact…

So, what is it that compels us to try to communicate with the dead? For me, when I experienced the death of someone close to me, it was driven from a feeling of loss and the need to make sure that in some way, somehow, that person was still there.  It’s a horrible feeling when a life, so close and so dear just disappears, just vanishes. With a cold lifeless body before us we sense and know that this person is no longer there. Their body housed them but it feels as if their spirit has gone. That then raises the important question of: “gone where?” We ask: “Where are they now? Can they see me, feel me and hear me?” We seek out mediums and spiritualists to find some kind of link, to know that the person we loved still, in some way, shape or form exists.

Wanting specific information…

As a medium it is my job to try to help clients sense that continued existence. It’s not an easy job to do as often high expectations on the part of the client make it difficult to be able to deliver. I understand people’s scepticism as they want me to convey something very specific to prove that it is truly their loved one coming through. To say “I feel a Granddad with the name John” is fairly generic and could just be good guessing. What people want, understandably, is some kind of hard proof, something so unique that it is impossible for me to just guess.

During a reading I did a few years ago I came through with that kind of detail for client, Ann-Marie. (She is actually featured on the front page of my website.) She told me that someone close to her had died and that she wanted me to connect and see what came through. I felt a strong presence and it seemed like a father. She confirmed that her father had recently died. After the initial message of love and assurance Ann-Marie pushed a little and said she was looking for something more, something more specific.
