Voice Messages From The Spirit Realm
Many years ago, during one of the psychic circle gatherings that I used to host, a loud male voice suddenly echoed from just outside the room. Everyone immediately assumed it was my husband, but he was the only one who wasn’t home at the time. We hadn’t heard the electric gate open or his truck approach.
The voice clearly said, “Hello, girls.” My immediate thought was of my father, who had frequently attended our monthly circles since his passing years earlier.
I have deep respect for experiences like this. It takes considerable energy for spirits to connect with us in such a tangible way through sound. Sound is a dense, physical vibration, one of the lowest frequencies for a spirit to manipulate. Unlike the speed and subtlety of mental, emotional, or psychic communication, external sound requires far more deliberate shaping of energy.
In order to be heard audibly, spirits must bridge a vast vibrational gap by lowering their frequency to become perceptible to our physical senses. This is why such phenomena are rare and profound, requiring effort from the spirit and heightened sensitivity, openness, and reverence from us as receivers.
After inventing the telephone, Alexander Graham Bell reportedly dedicated himself to developing a device that could capture spirits’ voices. Unfortunately, he passed away before realizing that goal. I believe he would be intrigued by the sophisticated digital instruments we now use to detect paranormal activity.
Tuning Into Spirit Guidance With A Pendulum
The pendulum is a simple yet powerful psychic tool that can greatly enhance spiritual growth and intuitive development — when used with pure intention and in alignment with the highest good of all.
In my experience, anyone can dowse using a pendulum. It doesn’t require any special skills or training — just a willingness to be open, to trust, and to practice. As with any spiritual discipline or metaphysical tool, the key is practice, practice, practice-along with a heartfelt desire to become proficient.
In the beginning, it’s important to allow yourself the grace to make mistakes. That’s how we learn.
The process of discovering how the pendulum works best for you is a very personal one. There’s no rigid standard to follow. While some books may suggest a specific way it’s “supposed to work,” I encourage you to let go of rules and expectations and allow the energy of the pendulum to express itself in the way that naturally aligns with your own vibration. This will always be the most accurate and effective method for you.
Over time, as you work consistently with your pendulum, the results become more reliable, consistent and clear. You begin to cultivate a deeper sensitivity — not just to the movement of the pendulum, but to the energy behind it.
Through ongoing experimentation and commitment, you begin to attune more deeply with your higher self, your subconscious mind, and your spirit guides. The pendulum becomes a mirror and a bridge — reflecting your inner world and connecting you to realms beyond ordinary perception.
The Fascinating Phenomenon Of Table Turning
Table turning, also known as “table tipping” or “table tilting,” is a fascinating form of spirit communication that occurs during séances.
It involves participants sitting around a table and placing their hands lightly on its surface to communicate with spirit. The table then moves or tilts, or in exceptional cases floats or rotates, in response to questions posed to spirit.
Table turning became popular in the mid-1800s, a time when Spiritualism was quickly gaining popularity in Europe and North America. People were intrigued by the idea of communicating with the afterlife, and séances became a common social activity.
People in those days didn’t have the resources or easy access to mediums and channelers that we have today. So, small groups of family and friends would gather and communicate with the spirit realm.
Table turning was also considered a wonderful way to entertain guests at social gatherings and was even considered a parlor game. Even President Lincoln’s wife, Mary Todd Lincoln, is said to have attended and even hosted séances at the White House.
Other well-known spiritualists of the time, such as the Laurie family and Nettie Colburn Maynard, reportedly attended séances with the Lincolns. Mrs. Lincoln was deeply interested in spiritualism and mediumship, especially after the deaths of her sons, Edward and later Willie.
Coping With The Loss Of A Loved One
The loss of a loved one is one of the most profound and challenging experiences we can have. Even if we have a deep spiritual belief that our loved one has crossed over into the spirit realm free of pain and suffering, the grief of their physical absence remains.
It is natural to mourn their departure, to feel the sting of their absence in our daily lives, and to struggle with the reality of a world that feels less complete without them.
For those who have lost a parent, this grief can bring an added layer of vulnerability. Regardless of our age, the loss of a mother or father can leave us feeling untethered, with a foundation in life that once provided security and guidance now shaken. Even if we have spent years caring for them through illness or decline, their passing can still leave us feeling profoundly alone.
This transition marks a significant shift, not only in our outer reality, but also in our inner identity. And yet, in the depths of grief, there is an opportunity for deep reflection, gratitude, and connection.
One of the most powerful ways to navigate grief is to focus on gratitude for the connection you shared with your loved one. Their love, wisdom, and presence shaped you in countless ways, and that influence does not disappear with their passing. Celebrate their life with vigor. Share their stories, embrace cherished memories, and allow their laughter to echo through your heart.
Our Pets Speak To Us In This Life And Beyond
Some of the most beautiful messages I’ve received as a medium have come from departed pets.
They bring messages of love, gratitude, and reassurance that they still walk beside their human companions in spirit. They also offer wisdom and insight into their owners’ lives from their unique perspective.
It is deeply moving to experience the enduring love of a pet from the other side. The grief of losing a pet is often unacknowledged or misunderstood, yet it is real and important to process and share.
It has been several years since we said goodbye to our beloved family dog, Lucy. She passed away in 2016, just before her 17th birthday, and I can never fully express the love and joy she brought to our lives.
By sharing how she helped me communicate with her – both in life and after her passing – I hope her story can help you feel a deeper connection with your own pets on the other side.
Lucy’s story began just before Christmas of 1999. Our trip was to buy storage boxes for an upcoming move, but instead we came home with a puppy in a box! From that day on, she burst into our lives and our hearts.
For a little dog, she lived such a full life. Wherever we went, she followed – by boat, by plane, even across continents when we moved to Dubai. She reminded us that as long as we were together, life was one big tail-wagging adventure.
Your Future Child May Be Closer Than You Think
One of the most meaningful connections I have been able to make as a psychic since I was very young is that between a mother and the soul of her future child.
For example, I remember seeing a three year old child (for some reason I almost always envision them around that age) playing next to a sixteen year old classmate when I was still in high school.
Six months later, that classmate left school because she was pregnant. I remember chalking it up to mere coincidence. At that time, I was still coming to terms with my psychic abilities and often doubted them.
Over the years, however, it has happened so often that I no longer question it. I now know that I see unborn souls connecting and acclimating to the energy of their future mothers.
Interestingly, I have never seen this connection with fathers. Perhaps it is because the soul needs to align with the body and energy of the mother as the two will soon merge?
One experience that stands out is with one of my friends. Her husband had been married before and had a son from his first marriage, as well as a son with her. She desperately wanted another child, but he was adamant that they couldn’t afford it. He also believed he could only have boys and wasn’t interested in trying for another.
One night we went to a local play together. My friend is blonde, fair-skinned, and blue-eyed, while her husband has black hair, brown eyes, and dark skin. During the play, I suddenly saw a little girl playing on the carpet next to her. As soon as we had a chance to talk, I told her what I had seen.
Psychics And Mediums: What’s The Difference?
The terms “psychic” and “medium” are often used interchangeably, mostly because people assume they are one and the same. While they do overlap, the truth is they serve different roles.
Understanding what makes them different — and what they have in common — is key if you’re exploring psychic readings, spirituality, and metaphysical practices.
First of all, think of it this way: all mediums are psychics, but not all psychics are mediums.
A psychic is someone who is capable of extrasensory perception (ESP), which means they can perceive information beyond the normal five senses.
The word “psychic” comes from the Greek word psykhikos, which means “of the soul, spirit, or mind.” This, in turn, is derived from psykhē, which means “soul” or “mind.” So, essentially, “psychic” refers to anything related to the mind and soul.
Psychics use their abilities to sense information about a living person’s past, present, and future. They can perceive potential life paths, challenges, or opportunities.
Their gifts may include more than one ability, such as clairvoyance (seeing), clairaudience (hearing), clairsentience (feeling or sensing) and claircognizance (knowing). Using these perceptual abilities, psychics can offer their clients clarity, guidance, and insight into life’s many questions.
