I\u2019ve spent the last 30 years as a medium enlightening and teaching others about the Spirit world, and proving to millions that death is only an illusion. Along the way, I\u2019ve had the chance to meet and mentor many gifted young mediums.\u00a0 Some had such a strong connection to the Spirit world that I was truly in awe! I\u2019m so proud and inspired by the work individuals like Tyler Henry and Monica Ten-Kate are doing to share the art of Mediumship with a new generation.<\/p>\n
Onstage with Monica the Medium<\/strong><\/p>\n Last year I joined Monica Ten-Kate for a few episodes of her ABC Family show, Monica the Medium. We had some great times together, sharing stories and techniques, attending a development circle, and even hosting a live event in Encinitas, Ca. That event will air live on Monica the Medium, this Monday, June 6th<\/sup> at 10pm\/ 9pm central. In the episode, Monica\u2019s father has his first experience watching his daughter demonstrate her connection to Spirit. \u00a0You\u2019ll have to tune in to the show on Monday to see his emotional reaction.<\/p>\n The Encinitas demonstration was a great experience for everyone involved –\u00a0 Monica\u2019s Spirit messages were so detailed and compassionate! I was especially impressed with her ability to read dates and names. And, with my encouragement and guidance, she did her first \u201cplatform reading\u201d from the stage. Prior to our event, Monica, like many mediums, always went into the audience to work with people. I was able to show her how to wok from the stage so that she could draw upon and involve the energy of the entire group.\u00a0 This is the key to holding space in a large room full of people. When a medium goes down into the audience, one person gets a reading, but others around them can be cut off, and when the audience can\u2019t see or hear what\u2019s going on, they detach, and the energy in the room goes way down.\u00a0 Being able to do a platform reading is an art, and with some encouragement, Monica gave it a try and nailed it!<\/p>\n What is an Old Soul?<\/strong><\/p>\n Spending time with Monica confirmed everything I always knew about the existence of old-souls. We use that phrase often, but what is an old soul? When you are born, everything you need to fulfill your life\u2019s plan is already there \u2013 buried deep within your soul. When we say that someone is an \u201cold soul\u201d what it really means is that they have something \u2013 call it extra-sensory awareness, mindfulness, intuition \u2013 that allows them to tap into the wisdom of many lifetimes in a way that others can\u2018t. Not all young people are as comfortable with their gifts as Monica. Hearing voices, seeing ghostly visions and receiving messages from beyond can be scary, and intimidating. A few years ago I wrote book, Looking Beyond<\/em>, to help young people understand and develop their spiritual gifts.<\/p>\n See Monica Ten- Kate, Maureen Hancock and Me in Los Angeles on July 15th<\/sup>!<\/strong><\/p>\n I hope you\u2019ll watch us on Monica the Medium this Monday. In addition, I invite you to see this gifted young star, along with Maureen Hancock and myself, on July 15th<\/sup>. This event will sell out quickly, so get your tickets today to see us LIVE at the Regents Theatre!<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I\u2019ve spent the last 30 years as a medium enlightening and teaching others about the Spirit world, and proving to millions that death is only an illusion.
