angels protect you, you know
I recently had the great pleasure of having a reading with Sophy Burnham. She has been one of my favorite authors for many, many years. She is an incredible writer, wise and clear. You can almost hear her voice in your head, as you read. I had picked up her new book about intuition and read it cover to cover on the train. It is a great book if you are looking for an addition to the library...

A Clear Channel
I had a reading with someone I find absolutely amazing. Her name is Jennifer, she is a medium. I’ve been looking for a really talented medium for awhile now. And while psychics can have some minor talent in being able to connect with deceased loved ones, people who ONLY do it seem to be rare.
I was trolling for mediums, as many do on the web. I went through some old postings from 2004...

A New Song
My apologies for not blogging in the recent months. I’ve been a little preoccupied. A very close friend of mine, died in September and I’ve been grieving. Ed and I were friends and also attended the workshops of Deena Spears together. He was a very spiritual person who lived his life with kindness and humility. He is gone from us too soon.
I was reading a book about communication...

Gotta change the "S"
I was reminded today of something I had worked on a few years ago. Met a friend for lunch and she asked me if I knew about Vimala Rodgers, I thought about it and realized I did. Vimala wrote a book about changing your life through handwriting changes. It sounds really odd. Or at least it did to me. How the heck could changing the way you put pen to paper and make a mark on it change exterior...

I see a neon sign in shape of a palm on your...
I am (as you know) always on the lookout for talented readers. If you have contacted any of the people I have written about, you know most are fairly expensive. The service they provide is, after all, a very specialized one. The old adage - “you get what you pay for” is true (sometimes). I called a reader who was based in Texas, $27 for a reading. I called her, she had an opening...
Healings Change the Healer too...
I’ve studied for the last 15 years with various teachers and learned various techniques, but as with anything else, it’s what you bring to the craft that really defines your results. I recently had an opportunity to do some healing work for a family, through their pet. Their pet who I will refer to as BD (Beloved Dog) was in bad shape physically - tumors that were visbile through the...
Healing Potato Chips
My friend and teacher, Deena Spears has begun teaching again, after a hiatus. She does healings and weekend workshops that work with music to help you gauge the changes you’ve helped bring about. I’ve finished her level 1, 2 and 3 classes. I can vouch for her healing ability - she can track like no one else. During workshops she requested that people refrain caffeine and other...
2nd hand story about a medium
A friend of mine has been searching for a medium since her father passed away 4 years ago. She recently told me about a medium she visited, along with 2 other people. Each session was 1 hour long and individual. It was a bit pricey - $160 for the session. here is our conversation:
Friend: So I sat down and he spends a few minutes doing psychic reading for you. Like what you are dealing with...

And then there are the duds.....
And then there are the duds……
I decided when I started this blog I would not post negative reviews because I don’t think it’s necessary. I will only call them out in a post if I think they are really harming people. I would rather just shine a light on people I think are really talented. However, I think the following the story is a good example of what a mixed bag...
Sanskrit Chant with Thomas Ashley Farrand
I came across a cd called “Mantra Meditation for Creating Abundance” recently, and put it on my iPod and listened to it on the train. Thomas Ashley Farrand has the voice and delivery of a favorite high school teacher. He just sounds like a nice person. He explains the mantras and how to use them, and gives a brief explanation and also some examples where the mantra helped clear up...

Raymon Grace, cowboy dowser, water healer
Let me preface by saying I really like Raymon Grace. He does what needs doing. He has the whole cowboy energy about him - practical, if it works keep doing it. if it doesn’t then stop. There are no long discussions about quantum theory. I first read his books and then worked with his techniques and ordered the dvds. The dvds worked. He has set intention into the DVDs to do various...
Doreen Virtue
If you’ve been to the metaphysical shelves in a bookstore chances are you’ve seen Doreen Virtue’s books. She has written many books on various metaphysical subjects. About 12 years ago, I had contacted her about a reading. She told me she did not do psychic readings for payment but would do one as a sort of tithe to the Universe. She (at the time) had a year long waiting list for...

Jo Ann Ward - a reiki healer surrounded by...
On Lisa Barretta’s recommendation, I called Jo Ann Ward for a healing session. I wasn’t in any crisis, but of course, things can always be improved. She and I set a time and a date and I sent her the payment. The night of the appointment, I had had yet another harried and horrible work day. My boss was barking at everyone and as soon as you turned to do his bidding, he’d snap...
Music From Beyond
At my mother in law’s funeral, “What a Wonderful World” was played. She loved the song and it was in perfect keeping with her joy and love for life. On important days - family members hear this song. I think it is her way of reminding us that she’s still involved and sees us.
This past Mother’s Day, I was up with a cranky baby and laying on my couch at midnight. ...
When someone taps you on the shoulder...
When I first began dating my husband, I worked a 2nd job during the weekends. I got to know all the random people who would stop by. One of them was Rich, a mortician. He was a lovely man. He came up to me one day, after months of perfectly normal hellos. He looked around nervously and said, “Uh, I have to tell you something.” “I see dead people.” Allllllrighty...

Why I Go to Psychics/Healers/Seminars
I go to psychics because I look at it as a step towards preparing for life. When I get ready for work in the morning, I look outside, then check the weather channel for the coming day. I bring an umbrella if it looks as if it will rain. I bring an extra scarf if it looks like it will be windy. If it’s super sunny, I put on sunscreen. When I get my readings, it’s to do the same thing but long...
Kim O'Neill - the angels talk to her
I get a lot of my psychic hookups via books or a referral. I had read Kim O’Neill’s book “How to Talk with Your Angels” and tried it out. I thought she was amazing, since I got an answer but then was so spooked (not from the angel, just me being me) that I stopped. It was during the time when I still had to dial up to the internet. So it wasn’t until years...
The time someone was totally wrong
My friend Jill is as obsessed with readings as I am. She brought me to a woman out in Suffolk County somewhere. This had to have been over 12 years ago. The house was a disaster. We were ushered into what was a formerly a screened in porch. It was so filled with junk and piles of I don’t even want to know what. You couldn’t sit. You could hear multiple yapping dogs barking and...
Sam Daniels.. all this and reiki healing too!
East West Books is where I met Sam Daniels. I went in on my lunch break, and he was doing readings. I said to God (in my head), “Good guidance that does not cost too much please”“ I got Sam. You pay for the reading at the counter, then you wait upstairs in the lovely seating and cafe area. They set up rickety little shoji screens and you sit there with the reader/healer ...
Above all - believe yourself!
A lot of psychics charge a lot of money. Some will quote you prices that are more than you are willing to pay. If that is true, then don’t do it. Just because they were on tv or written up in the paper does not mean they are a sure thing. They’re people - they can have off days, might not click with your energy, or can simply be bad at what they do. Don’t believe the spin. ...
Lisa Barretta ("the Street Smart Psychic")
While wandering the shelves of Quest Bookstore in NYC, I happened upon Lisa Barretta’s first book, “The Street Smart Psychic” I skimmed through and read a few pages, decided I liked her voice and bought a copy. It’s a good book from the psychic’s viewpoint of what to look for in a psychic and when to run far, far away. Also covers what to expect in a reading, how...

Diane Goldner - energy healer
I have known Diane Goldner for over 10 years. I met her when I wandered into a talk she was giving about energy healing. She’s a very kind, soft spoken and absolutely lovely person who has such integrity. Her energy healings are the same - she doesn’t shoot you with a bolt of energy and kick you out, she envelops you with love and helps you gently untangle the issues you are dealing...
Psychic readings: the gateway drug
A good reading is like a gateway drug…. because really, if you get a reading that’s awesome and clear and really pinpoints some issues in your life well of course you WANT MORE. Once you start, then the ideas about “you create your life” and “there is more than physical plane reality” seem more and more plausible. I had a psychic read for me 2 days before my...
The Tarot Reading
Enrique Enriquez - tarot reader, philosopher, wordsmith, artist
I’ve had a couple of readings from Enrique, and have been very happy them. He works with a beautiful tarot card deck and is very straight forward. He seems to get to the essence of the issue at hand very quickly and easily. The first time he read for me, it was in a group session, and each person in the group got 1 major...
