Psychic Medium Reading

I guess we've all had one of 'those dodgy tarot/psychic readings' in our life, I know I've had my fair share! Anyway, my wife gave me a gift voucher for my birthday to see a psychic. The psychic has been trained by Lisa Williams - so I knew she was the real deal as Lisa doesn't just churn out 1000's of 'psychics'. I was very much looking forward to booking my appointment and seeing this psychic!

Lisa Williams

So before I start, I know there are a lot of skeptics out there... When my wife bought the voucher, the psychic knew the voucher was for my birthday, she didn't know the date of my birthday, she only knew my first name, she did not have my email address and my wife paid via paypal which is still in her maiden name. So if the psychic tried to look me up, she wouldn't have found a thing about me if she used my first name and my wife's maiden name.

Okay, so I arrive for my appointment. The Psychic lives on a rural block and she has a very long driveway - Yes, the driveway has something to do with my reading lol. The psychic came out and met me outside in her beautiful environment. We go inside and she asks if I would like a psychic reading or a mediumship reading? My voucher was for 1 hour so I asked if I could have half/half.

She started with the psychic reading. The other thing I should quickly add, is that I recently bought an older Ford F150 for carrying around stock for my business. My everyday car has advertising on the rear windscreen, so I deliberately drove the truck to the appointment as I had not as yet had any signage put on it. I didn't want.... "Ohhh you own your own business etc".

So the reading began - no cards, hand holding or asking me questions about what I did etc, she just closed her eyes and said that she was going to contact her guides. The first thing she said was that she could see that I had been cleaning up and throwing away a lot of items. (The 2 weeks before I saw her I did have a big clean up at home! We had booked 2 council rubbish collections.) 

She described that I was in a high up position in my field of work - that I was on the top rung of the ladder. She said that a lot of people were surprised when I entered this field as it's not something anyone saw me doing and that I had a clerical position. (I have never owned, run a business or worked in retail. Although my business is retail, I don't 'work' in the shop. I run the website and take care of stock etc.) She also went into detail about how much things had improved in all aspects since I started there.

She went on to say that prior to me working where I currently was, she could see that I had been working on some kind of enterprise at home to generate an income, but it stopped abruptly. (Before I bought the retail store, I was working on starting my own ceramics business from home. I stopped abruptly because my Aunt got ill.) She told me so many more things which I cannot remember right now. But she blew me away!

After the psychic reading, she said that she was glad that I wanted a mediumship reading.... She said because it was such a hot day, she went to her office to open the windows and when she walked out she saw a woman standing in her driveway looking towards the road. She couldn't get the woman's attention and the woman kept looking at her watch and then back down the driveway. The psychic said that she didn't know who the woman was waiting for or belonged to because she couldn't connect with her. She said that she could feel a very strong maternal connection, but that she wasn't anyone's mother - that she was probably an Aunt. (I started crying. I knew before she went any further, it was my Aunt as she was always early and obsessed with time!) 

The psychic described her appearance to me perfectly and asked if I knew who she was? I told her she was my Aunt. The psychic said that she was no longer here but she would try and make contact with her. After a few minutes she started telling me some of the most amazing things! One of them being that my Aunt puts her hands on my shoulders when I'm stressed (She used to do this to me when she was alive) and that she speaks to me, but believes that I have only heard her once! (In the post below I mentioned that I heard her one night say 'Hi Love'.) 

The psychic told me that my Aunt was very proud of the way in which I carried out her funeral - however one person in the will did not get what they were supposed to get. This made me feel ill! I told the psychic that everyone received what was in my Aunt's will. The psychic kept talking to my Aunt and my Aunt told her a bed didn't go where it was supposed to go.... I had forgotten all about the bed! A friend of my Aunts was supposed to have her bed (It was a wiz bang electric bed lol), but the woman's sons wouldn't come and collect it, so it went elsewhere. The psychic explained this to my Aunt and all was good lol 

The psychic told me that my Aunt was now riding her old bike that I had found in the roof and she described a jungle that she like to spend time in that had little pathways everywhere. (When I was a child I found a old bike in the roof of my Grandparents stable, I asked my Dad to get it down for me and my Aunt was there at the time.... She said 'That's my old bike!'. The jungle that the psychic described with the pathways is exactly what my Aunt had in her backyard. She had a section that had little paths running all over the place!)

The psychic then said my Aunt was saying that I had lost my spark since she left me and that I needed to get back to what I was doing and get that ute! The psychic did look a little confused at this point lol because why would I need a ute when I drove up in a truck?!?! lol (In the post below I said that I sometimes feel like she's left me - not dead, deceased or passed away - but left me, the exact words the psychic used. My Aunt knew I was starting my own business before she became ill, and she said to my wife and I that I should buy a ute to carry around stock in case I attend markets with my ceramic items). The psychic also said that my aunt will always be with me, she will never leave me and that when it's my time she will be there waiting for me.

Again, so many more things were said...... After the reading I explained that I had been cleaning up so that I could start my ceramics again and needed to make room in the garage - which was my work from home enterprise that she could see in the psychic reading. I told her this was what I was doing before my Aunt became ill and that's why I stopped abruptly. That I was going to sell some of my ceramic items in the store and some online, and that I had also just bought the truck for events/markets. 

The psychic talked to me about mediumship and that she felt that with some practice I would be able to speak with my Aunt without the use of a medium since I had already heard my Aunt once. She also told me that she could feel that I had seen/sensed spirits/ghosts before. She blew me away. She told me so many things that very few people know about and none of it was 'wishy washy one size fits all' stuff. 

After I came home and told my wife about it, I went online and started reading more about the psychic and discovered that she now teaches. I have since enrolled in one of her courses that starts next year! lol Like running a business and trying to get a 2nd one off the ground doesn't take up enough of my time lol!

Spirits? Ghosts? Souls?

I've never been one that likes being labelled or put into a box - I am, who I am. Over the years I've had many 'encounters' I guess you would call them, with entities of some sort. I've had readings done for me and been told on more than one occasion that 'you're psychic, you just need to learn how to use this gift etc etc'. To be honest I've never really taken too much notice of these comments, as I've put it down to these readers telling everyone one something along these lines. After all most people who have readings done, would love nothing more than to hear that they're psychic and they just need to learn how 'to tap into it'.

I don't have a label for what happens to me, I can't make it happen on command, but it does happen..... In fact it's happened twice this week! From an early age I have seen things at random that I cannot explain. It actually hasn't happened for a few months, but this week I got a double whammy!

The other night I couldn't sleep so I decided to read a book, my wife was asleep. So here I am sitting in bed reading - then all of a sudden in my mind I see the face of one of my staff members, immediately followed by the image of an older man. This man had his hand on his chest over his heart and he said 'tell her I'm okay'. Now I had no idea who this older guy was! So when I went to work and explained to my staff member what had happened and described what he looked like, she looked away from me, then looked back. She said it was her grandfather, he passed away before she started working for me and that she was at his house the day before. She also said that she had been thinking about him a lot lately, as due to circumstances she wasn't able to get to the hospital to see him before he passed and she was angry at herself for this. Don't ask me why I saw this, or received this message? I do not know! I have never seen a photo of her grandfather, nor did I know that she had gone to his house.

Okay, so take two.... Yesterday for some unknown reason, the face of a woman I used to work with when we lived in the mountains flashed through my mind. I really didn't give it much thought, I just went about my work. Then this morning while I was eating my breakfast before leaving for work, I was scrolling through Facebook...... A woman I used to work with at the same workplace, had written how sad she was to hear that this woman had passed away...... Again, don't ask me? I don't know, I have no explanation.....

Are Spirit Guides Real?

I've been to quite a few medium presentations, read quite a few books on spirituality and watched a lot of YouTube videos regarding this topic. But at the end of the day, I still ask myself, are spirit guides real? I guess it would be a nice thought to know for certain, that there is one particular spiritual being that is watching over you.

The drawing of 'Chi' I received.

When I attended a Body, Mind and Soul Festival, I had a drawing done of my spirit guide. The artist told me that he said that his name was 'Chi'. Don't get me wrong, I love the drawing, but is it my spirit guide? Maybe she's just a really good artist who can draw a set of images freehand, and churns the same images out over and over again.... I have no idea?

A friend of mine, someone that I have known for a long time has recently become quite spiritual. She has embarked on a number of courses and has begun doing her own research, as one day she remembered that when she was a child, she had an imaginary friend..... She's trying to find out, if her 'imaginary friend' is/was in fact her spirit guide. Personally I never had an imaginary friend as a child, I did however see two spirits/ghosts in one house we lived in and heard another in the next house we lived in.

The video above was made by Steve Huff, it's almost 18 minutes long. He talks about spirit guides. If you just want to get to the bit where he talks about how to contact you're own spirit guide, skip the video along to 7.30 minutes. The technique he describes is very similar to those that I have read about in books. I've not done this exercise personally, so I cannot comment on that. What I can say is that, Steve records a lot of EVP's and will often ask if his spirit guide is present.... Either a 'yes' will be heard, or her name.

I guess one of the reasons I've never tried this exercise is that, I'm partially concerned that if a name does pop into my head, it'll just be my mind generating some random name that I've perhaps heard on TV or it's the name of someone I know or is from my past.... I don't know.    

The Good Bits - Michael Wheeler Psychic Medium

After venting my spleen yesterday, and not being able to write about the positive aspects of seeing Michael Wheeler live. I decided that today, I would list a couple of examples of the statements that he made on Saturday night.

If you have never seen a psychic medium in action, this is how it works... Michael starts each session by 'collecting information or images', he voices what he is seeing, feeling, hearing, smelling or tasting to the audience. In the early stages, the information applies to maybe two or three people in the audience. As more information comes through, it then narrows it down to one person in the audience. 

There was one older couple sitting in front of us, and their daughter had passed away and she came through. A couple of things that stuck in my mind were that Michael said that they had a connection to Germany. The couple said "No, our background is English". Michael said that this was fine, but that their daughter had given him this connection to Germany, so it must be of some importance, and that they should just remember that, and maybe later it will come to them. He also said that either one or both parents had a tattoo of their daughter. The mother raised her arm and pulled her sleeve up to reveal a tattoo on her wrist, with the name 'Iris' which also had the iris flowers around the name. The mother also stated that her husband had an 'Iris' tattoo. 

Michael stated that their daughter had said, that she knew they (the parents) had visited her grave last week, and saw a single yellow rose on her grave. At this point the mother grabbed her husbands arm and was saying "YES, YES, YES! We went last week, and there was a single yellow rose on her grave and we had no idea who put it there!" Michael talked more about the illness that their daughter endured, and then said that the parents were looking at treatment options overseas, but by then it was too late for their daughter..... That's when it all fell into place! The overseas treatment options that they were looking at were in Germany. . . .

Now I know some skeptics will read this and think.... Yeah whatever.... But seriously, how many thousands of flowers are there? How many varieties of colours? How did he know it was a single yellow rose, last week? Why was it not a red carnation two months ago? This is what I mean by when I say that Michael Wheeler is spot on every time! 

Another woman's Nan came through and everything he said was relevant, then Michael said "she's showing me a lemon tree and lemons". The woman said quite definitely "No, I don't know anything about that". Again, Michael said that this was fine, but to just remember it, because it does mean something..... Michael continued to talk about her Nan and everything fit perfectly.... Then right at the end of the reading Michael said "your Nan is really pushing this lemon thing......." and before he could finish, the woman cut him off and said... (almost sounding annoyed) "I don't know anything about lemons". Michael said "your Nan is now showing me a jar of lemon butter"...... The woman then realised that her Nan used to make lemon butter from the lemons, from the lemon tree....... She had not connected the dots.

Although I have not been chosen for a reading - just sitting, listening and watching the process unfold is quite amazing. I truly believe that there are special people out there, who have gifts that most of us cannot comprehend.

The Amazing Michael Wheeler

Last night my wife and I went to see Michael Wheeler live at Toukley, and prior to the show I knew that I would have so many great things to blog about today! To be honest, I have really been struggling with what to write... I wanted this post to be full of light and positive things! Don't get me wrong! Michael Wheeler is absolutely amazing!!! As we had seen him before, we knew what to expect and I wanted to write about the experience as a whole. So I am going to write about the whole experience, unfortunately not all of it was good and I am probably going to come across as a snotty nosed whinge bag, so I apologise in advance.   

My wife and I have only lived on The Central Coast for a few years. When we first moved here, people that my wife works with described Toukley as "Mount Druitt By The Sea". I personally thought that this was a pretty harsh stereotype and dismissed it, as I didn't know anyone from Toukley and on the odd occasion that I did some shopping there, I never encountered any people who made me feel that this stereotype fitted. 

So last night Michael Wheeler's show was at Club Toukley RSL. My wife and I are not club people, but we wanted to see the show. So I purchased the tickets in advance, and had a look on the website to see what was on offer food wise, and decided that we would have dinner there prior to the show.

After dinner we joined the queue to the function room where Michael's show would be taking place. So far things were going well, that was until we all entered the room and took our seats. The first thing I noticed is, that a number of people had alcoholic drinks with them.... At first I thought that they were bringing the drinks in with them, from the bar outside. Then I noticed that there was an actual bar inside the function room.... Okay, now I'm not at all against drinking! But this wasn't a 21st birthday party with an open bar! We were there to see a highly respected Australian psychic medium. His show was two and a half hours long, and throughout the entire show people were constantly getting up for their re-fills. All night long, all you could hear were people kicking their empty glasses over on the timber floor or getting more and more pissed. Sorry for the language. But seriously, if you cannot go two and a half hours without getting a snout full, you have a problem. Attending a psychic medium show, is not a party, yes it can be entertaining, but it is not a rock concert.

Due to the free flowing alcohol, there was one man in particular that was getting on the nerves of quite a few people - both my wife and myself included. We'll name him Richard, but we'll call him Dick for short. Dick was sitting directly behind me. Dick was drunk before the show started, as was his female partner. When Michael came out on stage and the show started, Dick proceeded to comment along the lines of:- "F**k he's a freak, F**k he's weirdo, F**k this, F**k that"... You get my point. 

A woman who was seated beside my wife, commented loudly enough for Dick to hear that she did not appreciate his behaviour. A man seated across from me continually looked over at Dick as if to say "Shut up!". The woman in front of me continually glanced backwards at Dick giving him those "stares". A woman sitting in the same aisle as Dick also commented on his behaviour. Now I don't go looking for fights.... But at one point, I was trying SO hard to focus on what Michael was saying, and all I could hear was Dick swearing - that I turned around and gave him the mother of all death stares. I swear to god that, it took every ounce of strength that I had not to punch him, he had pushed me to my limit. 

Two and a half hours of yobbo drunks has turned me off Toukley. I will never again set foot in that club regardless of who has a show. I am very sorry if you live in Toukley and feel that you have been branded. That is not my intention. I am aware that there are good and bad in all suburbs, but last night I saw a huge chunk of bad, and I can now completely understand why Toukley is referred to "As Mount Druitt By The Sea".

Before the show started, I purchased a deck of cards created by Michael Wheeler and Jackie Austin called "A Journey In Developing Your Intuition". The photo above is not one that I took, as my cards are still in their shrink wrap, as I have not had time today to have a look at them, I will most likely do this tomorrow. 

Michael has one more live appearance listed on his website, and it's actually not too far from where we live, so we're going to go along. It will be interesting, as even though the venue is a club, it's a Country Club - not an RSL. If you ever have the chance to catch one of Michael's shows, I encourage you to go along - even if you're a skeptic. This guy is the real deal, and blows people away with the messages that he brings fourth from the other side.

Can We Trust Our Own Minds?

A number of weeks ago I wrote about seeing a Lisa Williams show, I have also embarked on one of her courses. Then as you know my wife and I went to The Health, Harmony and Soul expo last Friday, where we attended a Mitchell Coombes and a Michael Wheeler show - which were both one hour long. I have always been interested in the afterlife and I have read much about it. 

After seeing those three mediums live, I walked away from all three shows having learnt one lesson. All three mediums stated in their own words that our deceased family and friends, can hear us if we speak to them. Our 'speech' can come in the form of actually speaking out a loud or in thought. 

Now I have always been a non-sleeper. I have so much trouble getting to sleep at night it's not funny, so as a result I usually read until I can't keep my eyes open any longer. However last night was different, I was tired and decided that I would try and sleep without reading. I was lying in bed and the thought that was running through my head was "Am I tired enough? Should I get my book?" 

At the EXACT moment I was having this thought, I heard "Hi love, how are you?" It was my Aunts voice! Well it certainly sounded like my Aunt. You see my Aunt hardly ever referred to me by my name, she always called me 'love'. 

So was that wishful thinking or imagined as a result of the shows I have recently attended? Was it my mind repeating - mimicking something I had heard my Aunt ask me multiple times in the past? Was it actually her? What was it that I heard while I was questioning myself about how tired I was? I wasn't asleep, so it wasn't a dream. Has anyone else experienced something like this? 

Whoa! What An Amazing Day!

On Friday my wife and I went to the Health, Harmony and Soul Expo and the Food and Wine Expo in Newcastle. I had been looking forward to these expo's since we purchased our tickets online a couple of weeks ago. It's funny, I thought that I would walk out with a bunch of soy candles, because that's typical of me. . . As it turned out, I didn't buy a single candle! I did however buy a bunch of other stuff, of course none of it was stuff that I 'needed'. 

I'll start by showing you some of the goodies we got from the food section of the expo. There were so many chocolates to choose from, but we stopped at two types of chocolate and two types of nougat. . . Thank god! lol We tried a sample of the Bondi Chai and it was yummo and will be available in supermarkets soon, so keep your eyes open for that one.

We also bought some chilli chocolate powder and two spice mixes that can be used in any type of cooking, as well as being mixed with sour cream or yoghurt to make dips. . . I tried a sample of the dip and it was amazing!

Lunch consisted of a bunch of tastings from lots of little stalls, we had Vietnamese spring rolls, Mexican style soft tacos - which tasted like nothing I have ever eaten before!

We also had vegetarian food from govindas and gozmeles. We were stuffed! If I had room I would have kept buying and trying different foods lol

I bought a number of books, which I wasn't expecting to do, as I already have a number of books on my 'to read' list. lol There were two guest speakers in particular that I really wanted to see, and they were Mitchell Coombes and Michael Wheeler.

Mitchell Coombes is very similar to Lisa Williams personality wise, he was quite funny. At one point he was reading the woman sitting right beside me, then he stopped and said "the man sitting next to you has really nice energy". He then continued on with her reading!!! I was like... What?!?! Wow!!! lol I met him after the show and he signed both books and a cd that I had purchased. 

The next speaker was Michael Wheeler, I had purchased his book and met him before his show. He was very good and will be hosting his own show near where we live in a couple of weeks, which we hope to attend :o)

We also purchased these pieces, my wife liked the glass infused mineral necklace and I liked the Buddhist beads and labradorite crystal.

This crystal has some fantastic colours! Unfortunately because of the rounded shape, I can't capture them properly with a camera. As soon as I saw it sitting amongst all the other crystals, I knew it had to come home with me. I've yet to decide where I'm going to put it, I also had no intention of purchasing any crystals, that was until this one jumped out at me.

Now this drawing blew me away, I was so close to not having it done as it was quite expensive. There were two women reading and drawing spirit guides. We must have walked past their stall four or five times, and each time I was in awe of their drawings. Every time we walked past, my wife kept telling me to go for it. Eventually, I caved in lol The drawing is about one metre high and about seventy centimeters wide. 

The reader held my hands for maybe 30 seconds before she let go, as though she had received a shock! She asked me if anyone had ever commented on my energy before? I laughed and told her what had happened when Mitchell Coombes was reading a woman who was sitting bedside me and how he had commented on my energy. She shook her head and said that she could understand why he said what he did. She said that I have amazing energy! 

She continued to tell me that my spirit guide was Tibetan and he told her that his name was Chi. The reader went on to say that there was a very strong dragon influence and that I should be aware of dragon symbolism and signs. The reader spoke more about both Chi and the dragon, before drawing the image above...... What was so amazing was, that so much of this image she drew with her eyes closed!!!

The Photo Arrived!

We received our photo today, that we had taken with Lisa Williams. I have actually cut this photo down, as a friend of mine was standing on the other side of Lisa, and she is not aware that I have a blog, so I didn't want to post her image without permission. 

Since we saw Lisa Williams show, I downloaded one of her courses which I mentioned in a previous post, and yes, I am still enjoying the course. I have also purchased both of her books, and I eagerly await their arrival! If you ever get the chance to see one of her shows, go for it!

Lisa Williams

The other night my wife, myself and a friend of ours went to see a Lisa Williams show. My friend is a huge fan, and prior to her mentioning Lisa to me, I had never heard of her before. This was weird for me, because I have always been into 'new agey' kind of things, and I'm a frequent shopper in new age stores. I also have quite a collection of books on various new age topics, yet I had never heard of her?!?! How can this be? I guess that perhaps I wasn't meant to know about her until now.... I don't know.

Anyway, since I hadn't heard of her or read any of her material, I did a search on you tube to watch one of her shows. I was completely blown away and I couldn't wait to see her! She was so specific! There was none of this .... Oh I see an elderly gentleman whose name starts with a G or maybe a J..... Does that ring a bell? One particular reading she said:- I have a young man here by the name of Craig, he passed over due to a car accident, and someone here tonight has his name tattooed on their arm...... Yep, sure enough a woman stood up, she was Craig's Mother and she had the tattoo just as Lisa had described. Lisa went on to discuss Craig and the nature of the accident to a T!

The clip above is from you tube to show you just how specific she is.

Before we saw the show, we were able to meet Lisa as my friend is a member. She was such a warm and genuine person. She hugged the three of us and we had a chat, she didn't have any airs or graces about her. She also signed a photo card for each of us and we had our photo taken with her. I would post the photo, except the photographer is yet to send it to us. I will post it in another post :o)

It's funny, because about a year ago I was looking at some online new age courses. I had shown them to my wife and I was 90% sold..... But there was just something that I couldn't put my finger on, that was holding me back from signing up, so I decided against them. Then the other day, I discovered that there were courses on Lisa's website. I asked my friend if she had done any of them, and if she had, what did she think? Well it turns out that my friend had done four courses and said they were brilliant. She brought them with her so I could have a look at them. After hearing about the topics covered, I downloaded my first course the other day. 

I have only just started it and I have to say the course is quite challenging! Not because it's like "quick find a spirit to talk to now!" It's very much about learning about yourself. The basic idea is to keep a journal while you work through the questions in the course. A lot of the questions are reflective and require you to disassemble situations or feelings of the past and examine them. 

I was actually going to write a separate post on this, but it actually fits in well here. When you take medication such as I do, it alters not only your behaviour, but also the way you think. For example, if something happened previously that may have sent me into a rage, instead I may now decide that the better option is to remove myself from a situation. Whereas in the past this would never have happened. Since taking this medication I have often felt, that I need to get to know who I am all over again. As time and time again, a situation or conversation arises and I find myself questioning, what would the correct response be? So I do feel that this course has come along at the right time, considering that it is all about learning about who you are as a person. 

If Lisa Williams should venture into your neck of the woods, buy a ticket and go along. You wont be disappointed. :o)
