Who Really are Psychics Anyway?




Psychics by any Other Name

The Goals of an Intuitive Session
It is my utmost pleasure to provide a coaching session for anyone who feels that need one. I have worked with a variety of topics including relationships, work/career, life path, spiritual awakening and so much more.I have also worked with various tools including no tools at times. Sessions are intense both for you and for the sensitive providing the service. So it has to have some order. I understands this field of spiritual coaching can be a bit scattered and riddled with scammers out there, from street corner gypsy to motivations gurus in large arenas. Somewhere in the middle are those providing hard core advice and relief and healing to those who need it. Those who are called to do provide healing. 

What some call psychics I call sensitives. As you read this piece the word psychic and sensitive will be used interchangeably. A psychic is an umbrella term used to describe a person with paranormal abilities and/or who is able to perceive at a higher level, hence the word "sensitive".  Psychic abilities have always been around and recorded since ancient times. Psychics can be clairvoyants, palm readers or mediums. Psychics can provide advice on all aspects of a persons life and let them know information about their life's purpose. The guidance that a psychic provides to the client has the ability to change and improve their life if the person chooses to consider their advice.


 About Compensation for Services

Paying for services is one of the most difficult things to sort through for a lot of healers who were told they are not to charge for their services and gifts. What many do not understand is that these sessions are work and involve time, skill and energy. If someone just provides this for free for everyone, they are giving away a tremendous amount of energy and not replenishing it. They are being disrespectful to themselves and all other healers who give so much of themselves in this process. This is not a healthy or balances situation. Research should be done by the client on the intuitive healer’s process, referrals and of course your own gut instinct.

Those insisting that this particular gift be given away without anything in return are speaking out of fear and ignorance. Ask a yoga teacher, chiropractor, food store owner, or even religious leader not to accept his collection/donation plate at the church and see how ridiculous that is. As with anything, if you are being asked to give a compensation that is unreasonable or harmful to you, run don’t just walk the other way. In cases of true emergencies there is always help available that you don’t have to sacrifice for. A true professional will help you through the emergency and help you accordingly.

Stereotypical Image of a Psychic
There are notorious scam artists with titles of healers, psychics, helpers or any other name. In fact, there are highly skilled psychics with extraordinary abilities but don’t use them for the greater good. Because of freewill, they can use their abilities any way they can, even if it’s for selfish hurtful reasons. These are people who will lie to you, mixed with some truth, frighten you and try to get you to pay unreasonable amounts for doing spells and cleansings or other spiritual works activities. That’s not what a healer does. To manipulate others with spells or other such rituals is interfering with another’s freewill and has huge karmic consequences. Nothing good can come from that so again run away and find a true healing service. As for cleansings, you can have some one professionally assist you. With Feng Shui, there is usually a cost but you can always try it yourself for free or small amounts of money.  (excerpt from book You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal")

Some Individuals committed to healing are listed below. Although not all are sensitives, many are. Healers can include:
  • Technically Sensitives: Psychic, Medium, Empath, Clairvoyant (and these have many subcategories
  • Shaman 
  • Priest
  • Reverend
  • Pastor Wiccan
  • Rabbi
  • Chaos Magician
  •  Eclectic Reverend
  • Voodoo Practitioner
  • Santero/a
  •  Someone who has gone through what you have but may not have official title
  • Miscellaneous (word of mouth referral you can verify) 
  • Traditional therapist with an expertise in Spiritual Emergence Issues
I don't advocate one type of sensitive over another. It really depends on your own fundamental beliefs and what resonates with you. If you don't have anything in particular, then doing a little bit a research on the list above can help you in deciding what is the best fit for you.

It is widely believed that Sensitives gain their power from either a spiritual gift or their bodys ability to use their brain more effectively. From what we know, it is estimated that human beings use only about ten percent of their brain. It is a common theory that psychics have the ability to tap into the other ninety percent of the brains power and this is the source of their gifts.

There are several natural gifts that psychics can use to help their clients. Some psychics have the ability to communicate with other spiritual realms that we do not have access to. These types of psychics are usually called mediums and they can give you messages from departed loved one. There are people with the ability to receive messages in their minds. A clairsentient feels a message, a clairvoyant sees a special message and a clairaudient hears a message. There are also psychics that are great animal communicators. They can telepathically connect with animals and allow us to know what they are feeling.

As I've said in a previous post and part of my book You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal"
Psychics can use several tools to enhance their abilities. Astrology is used to display how the patterns of the planets relate to the events in our lives. An astrology reading is used to let the client know what to expect in their life. Numerology works in a similar way. A persons date of birth is used to indicate the lifes path.

Tarot cards are used to answer a clients specific question or give an overview of their current situation. There are two types of cards in a tarot deck: the major and minor arcane. Psychics will most likely focus on the major cards during the reading since they reveal the major aspects of a persons life. I use then as a concentration tool and use both major and minor arcanas. 

Additional tools include crystals, runes, and pendulums. Good psychics know how to use these powerful items to get the answers that you want to know about your life. A psychic can also use their gifts to not only tell about possibilities about your future. Some can actually see glimpses of the future and make quite accurate predictions about the upcoming events in the world but this is tricky since it is where destiny and freewill intersect.

Some sensitives have amazing abilities, but there are certain things that you should not expect from a psychic. A psychic can not predict lottery numbers, horse race winners, or provide you with gambling tips. A psychic that tells you that they can do this is merely a scam artist that wishes to take your money. Also, avoid psychics that ask for an absorbent amount of money without providing any proof of their skills. However, do not expect a psychic to be accurate all of the time. Everybody makes mistakes and a psychic is no different.

When you visit or contact a sensitive, they will let you know their specialties and will usually have several services to offer you. They can give you a general reading or you can simply ask the questions that you wish to be answered about your life. You will be amazed at the psychics intuition and how many details that they can give you about your current situation. It is important to remember that psychics can guide you in the right direction, but it is up to you to follow their guidance.

How I do my sessions

Many times people will want to ask a question and speak to a sensitive.  in my case an Empath I get asked many questions that cannot be answered on the spot. For those, which I have created my book "You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal!". I answer many of the commonly asked queries there. For specific and individual issues there are steps to take to make the best of the experience. Please understand no psychic or sensitive can just answer out of no where. Often times, there needs to be order, preparation to be able to be present and concentrate as in any therapeutic environment. 

  • Go to website in advance and follow simple instructions there
  • Do make an appointment,  please don't just call, email or text
  • Have your question or issue ready, even if it's a general issue
  • Have notes from any past sessions with anyone else
  • Release expectations, this is a healing process

You will find much more information on my specific skill set and how to empower your own intuitive abilities.

Do You Know Enough About Ghosts and the Paranormal?


 
For centuries people having been and continue to talk about ghosts, spirits and all other supernatural events. Ghosts, spirits and other paranormal events are hot topics of conversation from ages. Many people believe in ghosts and others believe that all the strange events can be explained with the help of science. Just a look at the listings of current shows and see how many are based on paranormal topics. Reporting paranormal events has also increased exponentially.  Both the average person and the researchers are curious about the above and other phenomenon like:
  • Deja Vu
  • Astral Travel/Out of Body Experiences
  • Near Death Experiences,
  • ESP (Extra Sensory Perception)
  • Poltergeist 
  • Alien/UFO
  • Angels and Demons
  • Miracles
  • Psychic abilities
  • Much more...
Some people think that ghosts are spirit of people who have died in the past. The presence of spirits is also explained in different ways. Some people think that ghosts remain in this world to complete there unfinished business. Some also believe that they remain to help guide others through here. According to some religions, ghosts are the demons that mean helpers of devil. Most of us have heard about ghost sightings, spiritual communication, and other supernatural activities. Most often hauntings occur in places where people have died or where their bodies are buried.

Nowadays many people and even scientists are trying to study ghosts and other unexplained stories. Some instruments which are used to interact with ghosts are: 
  • infrared sensors, 
  • thermal cameras, 
  • geiger counters and 
    Recent photo with ORB above my head
  • digital voice recorders. 
With the help of these instruments, professionals try to understand supernatural events. In addition to electronic equipment some spiritual mediums of communications are also used. There are no scientific sources which can explain the reliability of these methods but they are used widely in study of the paranormal.

After hundreds of years of research and studies, nobody can prove the existence of ghosts, spirits and other paranormal events. However, they can't disprove any of this either. Do ghosts really exist? The answer to this question really lies in a personal belief. You can find a lot of material written about ghosts, spirits and other unexplained mysteries but nothing has been proven scientifically. However I will say that science is just one resource we can use not the only one. We as humans are still evolving and so is our ability to learn and understand. We are learning that we have more than logic. This gives hope that more answers will be forthcoming and they are. Let's keep searching.

Are Orbs REALLY Ghosts Caught on Camera?

What are orbs

The short answer is, it depends on who you ask.

Orbs in the context of this post are spherical objects that appear in photos, videos and sometimes to the naked eye. These orbs are sometimes not perfectly spherical but most often are. Some people can create orbs digitally, but this is not what we are speaking of here. Many people believe these orbs are conscious energy, that is, they are sentient entities or ghosts/apparitions. Orbs can vary in size, color, brightness, and have very different shapes within them. Orbs have a way of appearing around specific people as well. 

Skeptics will say it is most definitely not ghosts or any spiritual entity. It doesn't matter what the orb looks like, who took the photo or video, or any explanation associated with it. I feel we definitely need to examine all possibilities. But when one closes their minds completely, we stop our ability to expand.

I would have thought the same thing If I didn't keep getting them all over my photos and had my spiritual awakening. There is such a thing as taking a second and admitting we just don't know everything. So it is possible that there is some "ghostly" energy around us? That energy doesn't end at the time of our death but simply changes form? Many people ask me to tell them what specifically an orb means on their photo. But that is a delicate question and not always easy to answer.

This is how I explain in my book  "You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal!"
"Orbs are a phenomenon that appears in photos and videos and is worthy of examination. There is a huge debate as to what they are. On occasion, some orbs can be seen by the naked eye but are much more often caught by cameras. There are many opinions on what these orbs actually are. The jury is still out as to what exactly these objects are. Some insist they are simply dust, water, bugs, sand, snow, or camera defects. I have to say that for me, it is hard to explain their placement and context, their distinct appearance, and the feeling one gets when looking at them. I feel comfortable saying that since I took most of these pictures, or was around when they were taken, it is unlikely these orbs are any of the above. If I were at the beach with sand, then I can say it could be sand instead of an orb. If I were in place where there were bugs like an outside scenery, again I could say that could be the reason for the spherical object. But even bugs have a slightly different appearance when photographed." 


Here you see just two of the many examples I have captured in photos. I would ask you to look at your own photos, all of them and see if you see any curious shapes that cannot be explained by a lighting issue or technical abnormality. 
Photo taken days after I published my book

The orb that got me looking at all my other photos


You will see many orbs I captured throughout the past few years. There are other interesting topics covered, but this most definitely was one of the inspirations for writing my book.

Born Again: Spiritual Awakening And Near-Death Experiences



Near-death survivors tell us stories of out of body experiences and spiritual awakening. How could it be possible for near-death experiences to result into religious experiences that would totally transform a person? Is it really possible to attain enlightenment through this experience?

Most people would perceive that spiritual awakening is associated with religious personas, like saints, yogis, and lamas. Therefore, ordinary people experiencing spiritual awakening can be both fascinating and frightening for some. There are some who intentionally journey towards enlightenment through meditation, yoga and other traditions and rituals. But there are others who experience spiritual awakening on their death-bed.

In an essay written by Dr. David San Filippo titled Religious Interpretations of NDEs, he stated that a near-death experience (NDE) is a conscious experience in which the individual experiences a sense of being detached from the physical world during the process of physiological dying.

Medically, near-death experiences as described by Dr. Filippo, is when the patient cannot breathe making the muscles in the heart to fail and powerful substances are released. Also, NDE survivors say that they would have an out-of-the-body experience, where the spirit or the soul detaches itself from the body. During these detachment, survivors can experience seeing darkness or the light, meeting spiritual and divine people, and somehow judging their lives.
In a survey performed in 1991, there were 13 million Americans or 5 percent of the population who report that they have experienced an NDE. Near-death experiences and spiritual awakening after them can actually transcend any culture and religion. Regardless, if the patient believes in the divine or Supreme Being, near-death experience could happen.

What happens during a near-death experience?

  • The survivor first feels a sense of being dead and peace. 
  • The soul or the spirit separates from the body and meets with different entities which have already passed away like family, friends, even angels and religious persona. 
  • The spirit seems to be rising into the air and encounter a Light which is often associated with the Supreme Being, whether it is God or Infinite Intelligence.
  • The survivor then senses what happened to their life and judges it. 
  • Commonly, the survivors feel reluctant on going back to the world of living. 
  • Survivors cannot sense any time or anything that would restrict them from going wherever they want.
  • There are significant psychological effects of these near-death experiences to the survivors. According to Dr. P.M.H. Atwater (People are dramatically Changed by NDEs), here are some the psychological effects which can also be somewhat referred to enlightenment or spiritual awakening:
  • Unconditional love- NDE survivors turn themselves into fully loving and generous people who would wonder and express themselves to each person they see.
  • Timelessness survivors begin to follow the flow and tend to ignore schedules and time frames. They would shift their focus and give more importance on the present.
  • Psychic some survivors would wake up or return to the world of the living with heightened senses or extrasensory perception.
  • The soul- survivors would show more interest on reincarnation and would later on accept this concept regardless of their previous belief. Since they have experienced the soul or the spirit separating from the body, they understand that the body is nothing but a coffer for the soul.
  • Communication- NDE survivors display the use of new language or new vocabularies which is totally different with what they are used to speaking before. These effects of NDE can be treated as spiritual awakening since the person transforms into a new person.


Actual Stories of Experiencers  

In my book "You're Not Crazy, It's Paranormal!" one of my chapters is dedicated to various facts related to a NDE and how it can transform someone completely. I had the pleasure of speaking with actual experiencers who share their personal stories. There is such hope one feels after hearing about these, our fear fades a bit and we can be a bit more present and in the NOW.
