Psychic Phenomena
What Is It Like To Be Psychic?
I have been asked many time what it is like to be psychic? I have always felt this to be an odd question, because in my mind I am just an ordinary human being, the same as everyone else.
We are all born with our own particular gifts and talents. Mine just happens to be a sixth sense.
Everyone of us is unique in our own special way. I just happen to have certain psychic abilities. I feel I was given these gifts to help people, to offer them insight and guidance from the spirit realm.
In the time of the European witch persecutions of the 16th century, and the American witch trials of the 17th century in Salem, people like me were often called ‘witches.’ At the time it was the only understanding people had as to why someone would know things they are not supposed not know.
Throughout human history people like me have been honored and appreciated, but also mocked, shunned and persecuted.
People tend to fear what they do not understand, and it continues to this day. Many people remain skeptical of psychic and paranormal phenomena. To them it just cannot be real. I can assure you it is.
Many more people in the world actually have psychic abilities, but because it is so misunderstood, they just do not know it, or they simply choose not to recognize, accept, or use it. These gifted individuals ‘know’ or ‘sense’ things, but choose not to call themselves a ‘psychic.’
The Ghost Who Warned Me
I moved into my first haunted house in 2005. I have been in haunted houses before, but this time I was not able to just browse and leave. I was stuck in that house for a few months.
I have communicated with beings from the other side since I was a child, but actually moving into a home where there was a spirit attachment, was a very different experience for me.
I was moving in with a family member, whom I knew had a lot of emotional issues, but who was also very sweet and wanting guidance and help from me. He was very attached to the house we were looking at renting.
I told him right off the bat, it’s haunted. Was he sure he wanted to move into a haunted house?
He asked me how I knew it was haunted, even though he knows I am psychic medium. I told him I could sense the presence. It wasn’t dark. It was male and it was associated directly with the house.
Despite all this, we moved in.
The night we moved in, I felt a presence hovering over me when I was sleeping…or should I say trying to sleep. The ghost said telepathically, “You brought darkness into my house. You need to get rid of it, or leave.”
I was very confused. “I am a lightworker. I’ve never caused harm to anyone. Why would you think I brought darkness here?”
How To Interpret Your Dreams
I have always found dreams to be most fascinating. Interestingly, my guides have taught me that there are, in fact, three types of dreams.
Many dreams are just a result of some of the mundane information we take in on a daily basis. These are usually the kind of dreams which make no sense at all.
Some dreams are simply reflective of both our fears and desires. For example, swimming close to sharks would be an obvious fear for most people, whereas winning the lottery is what a lot of folks would love to happen.
Finally, there are dreams which contain spiritual messages. These dreams are generally predictive in nature and is one of the ways that spirit chooses to show us a glimpse of the future.
So, if you have a dream which is colorful, incredibly lifelike and emotive in a positive kind of way, it could be that your guides are trying to tell you something.
Also, if that dream should become repetitive and more and more intense each time you experience it, this is a likely sign that what you have dreamt about is due to manifest.
The common denominator in most dreams is that they tend to contain a lot of symbolism. But what if you do not understand that symbology and the meaning behind it? Should you be having this problem, the following common dream symbols and interpretations may be of use to you.
My Grandfather’s Selfless Gift Of Love
Cherubic looking, my grandfather had a round face that was quick to reveal his kindness and empathy. He was just as fast to tell a joke, which he frequently did.
His tummy always shook when he laughed out loud… like Santa Claus. He was a little, round Irish man that doted on me when I was deeply in need of this level of parental love and nurturing.
It’s not too bad a story, as stories go. I was simply born to a couple of kids. My mother and father were naive country folk, and very young. Much too young to be responsible parents.
I think that children back then, especially at those tender ages, were even younger than their years, as compared to today’s worldly young people on TikTok. The world was a little more naive then, compared to today.
Anyway, when I was a baby, my parents left me with my grandfather, for him to raise me. From what I know this arrangement was not forced on him, he volunteered.
He passed away when I was 23 years old, and he was only 62.famil
Granddaddy didn’t want to go, and I had experienced so little loss in life at that age that, even as I watched him slowly slip away, I wasn’t quite understanding the process. I realize now that I simply couldn’t imagine my life without him. My grandfather and I were togetherness personified. I was his hero and he was mine.
The Time I Visited All My Pets In The Afterlife
Life has become much clearer to me over the years. But not in the usual way you might expect.
Having a Near Death Experience (NDE) during surgery at the age of 34, plus practicing as a professional psychic reader fo over 46 years, changes your outlook on life and death in many ways.
One of the questions my clients sometimes ask is, “Do pets go to Heaven?” From my lived experience, the answer is a resounding, yes!
During my NDE, I remember quickly rising up through a tunnel toward a light so bright I had to squint my eyes. I then arrived in a space that felt like the outside of an elevator. It was some kind of ‘in-between area.’
As I stepped inside, every pet I had ever loved in my life up to that moment was gathered around my feet, tails wagging, overjoyed to see me. Dogs and cats…they were all there!
So yes, in my experience, your pets will be there to greet you, just as mine were. On the other side, there are animals of all kinds, peacefully coexisting and filled with joy. I have no doubt our pets in Heaven know when we are coming home to join them. They wait for us with open hearts.
In Heaven, if you wish to have a home, you will. What you think becomes your reality there. So, of course, your beloved pets will once again live with you. They are already running, playing, and waiting for you and you will recognize each one of them.
Dream Lovers On The Astral Plane
Do you record your dreams? If not, you should! Why? Because, as many people all over the world have discovered, recording or writing down your dreams helps you in too many ways to count.
A dream journal becomes a sacred bridge between the conscious and unseen realms, allowing patterns, symbols, and guidance to gently reveal themselves over time.
In our dreams we have visitations from people from our past, glimpses into past lives, moments with loved ones who have crossed over, and even encounters with family members and friends who are still very much alive. In the dream state we can communicate with everyone that we have ever known.
Dreams often reveal messages and insights that we would not have considered or thought of on our own in the awake state.
We touch base with our higher self while we are in the healing dream state. Our soul has a conscious intelligence that communicates with our brain what we need to know. There are reasons why we dream.
I was inspired to write this blog post because one of my clients, who claimed that she doesn’t dream, started dreaming so good after I gave her these tips.
She is what she calls a “hermit” and a “shut-in”. She doesn’t go out, because she suffers from vertigo and panic attacks. She is single, and although she really wants to be in a relationship, she has now opted to have those experiences while she is sleeping through her dreams.
Guiding A Friend To Embrace Her Psychic Path
Awakening as a psychic medium is not something most people decide to do on a whim. Sometimes, the calling arrives unexpectedly, through guidance that cannot be ignored.
This story is about one of those moments. It is the journey of helping a close friend embrace her psychic and mediumship abilities after receiving clear messages from both our guides that this path was necessary.
What followed was not only her awakening, but a powerful shared experience of trust, fear, growth, and spiritual confirmation.
I have known her for over forty years. We met during a time in our lives when we were open to new experiences and spiritual exploration. We always believed in the psychic realms without fear or negativity. I knew I had abilities back then, and so did she, even if she was not aware of them yet. Everyone awakens in their own time.
We were more than friends. We were spiritual partners. That bond deepened over the years. When my journey fully began, she was fascinated and full of questions.
One day, I had to say to her, “I’ve been told you are also a psychic medium.” That is not something you casually say to someone. I know this path well myself, but even so, hearing it can be life-changing. Becoming a psychic is a huge commitment, and it is not always easy to accept. Many people struggle with it at first.
