Whenever I am out in a social situation quite often the question arises what do I do for a living, my answer is that I am a medium, the responses I get to there are normally one of three things. What is one of them or Oh my god you don’t believe in rubbish like that do you, or, are you picking anything from or around me? My response to that is either a brief explanation of what I do, or simply yes I do believe and each to there own or I am not working at the moment.
I find people treat me differently once I have informed them what I do, either I get bombarded with questions or people can be distant from me, a very different reaction from when I told people I was a Admin Assistant, before I became a professional Medium. Its strange that even the non-believes assume I know all their secrets. In reality I’m just a normal guy trying to get through life, but maybe slightly more aware of unseen things to the untrained mind and eye. I am not interested in knowing everything about the people I meet, sometimes a little bit of mystery in life makes it more fun, that way you can make it up!
I am blessed with many friends who are working mediums, we all agree though on the same thing – we are just people who can talk to another world, and at this point in time we need our feet on this world – to stay grounded and not fly away with the fairies. The worst thing a medium can do is let ego take over. Although sometimes in can be tempting to play up to people when they ask you questions about what we know about them, I invariably do not.
Being a medium does not make me blessed with all of life’s answers. Sadly to date I have not received the lottery numbers and still processing what came first…the chicken or the egg.
Over the years there has been many old wives tales about mediums, psychics and those who deal with the occult and esoteric arts. As a result the idea has arisen that we are all loopy and sit in blacked out rooms talking to the air asking… Is anybody there? I personally prefer the light as for asking if anybody is there – I find myself doing this only some of the time.
I am not plugged in to the spirit wed 24/7 just some of the time. I have guides (friends) in the spirit world that guide me in my work and inspire me to work better with them using different techniques to manipulate my mind and thought waves. Alas though they don’t tell me how I should live my life or what horse is going to win the Grand National. Although some mediums will say different – I wonder if it just that my friends don’t like me or feel that will benefit me or that other mediums do not want to take responsibility of their life. I remember when I first started watching mediums work; both publicly and privately some would say “if you have any questions you best ask quick as when I switch off my life I forget all that’s been said. I have since learnt that once again they do not want to take responsibility for there own actions. I by nature and a forgetful person, but I remember the people I meet both in this world and through the next, I may not remember a word for word account of what I said, but then again who does?
The secret life off this mediums is simply, I know that there is someone there, I know that when my spirit has had enough of my body that I will go on to a different place and continue to learn and grow and I never doubt that, however like many, I doubt myself, whether or not I will be able to connect well with those who chose to use me as their messenger, whether I will give who ever it is who sees me what they need. I use the word need not want and the two are very different. Wanting something and getting it does not always manifest happiness, like money and flash car, but having your needs met quite often does, being loved, kept warm and dry, some of the basic things we take for granted. I find the spirit world seem to concern themselves with encouraging those I see to find peace, to heal those issues with that stop the finding happiness.
Every now and then like everyone my faith will be knocked, normally by a thoughtless human being, but always there is something in life that will pick me up, I feel blessed that in my own way I am open to Magic, I often get overwhelmed that I am not just talking to someone’s loved one and that there not just in the room next door or in another county but literally in another world, and I still think that’s magic!
