True/Real Mediums?

[anela]

I've wanted a reading with one for years, but they usually charge way too much. Therese Rowley was recommended in a book I live, written by Jenniffer Weigel, but she also recommended James Van Praagh, and I wasn't that impressed with him. We didn't get a reading, but paid yo see him a Lily Dale, a couple of weeks after we lost mum.

has anyone here been to a real medium?

Yes, anela. She is a very strong clairvoyant who channels guides. angels and people who've passed over.

She channelled messages from my dad which were fantastic. I made an appointment to see her. Unfortunately, she doesn't do it anymore in person as I would have liked to have had messages from my mum who passed away last year. I think she still takes email requests.

Edit: after i posted, I took a nap as I'm down with flu, and strangely enough, I dreamed of my dad. It was a sad dream because I dreamed of him dying in my arms. I held him close as he died, praying for him to be saved.

I don't understand this.

I will put it that way: I have never paid one.

May I ask: How much do they charge?

whisperix we paid something like $50 each to attend van praagh's event. He did readings for eight people, but in the meantime, talked about things that were already in his books. He looked at me several times, and I kept hoping that he would come through with mum, but there was nothing. I didn't like the way he treated a woman in the audience, either - it put me off.

Therese Rowley charges almost $500 for a first-time reading. My mum would have spent that, especially since it's refundable if she's wrong, or you're unhappy with the reading (at least, that was the case a few years ago). My dad wouldn't spend that much, though, and neither would I, unless we suddenly had unlimited funds.

@astrokeen I'm sorry you lost your mum, too. ♥ I keep reading of people's amazing experiences with psychics, or past-life regressions (something I've tried, but didn't get very far with). I'm envious, and wish that I could experience something that would leave me feeling happy and comfortable with where I am. I envy people like Jenniffer Weigel, who get to interview these people, and get free readings - she's written another book that comes out in a month, and the first chapter is about someone called Thomas John. He gave her a reading the first time they met, as far as I know, she didn't pay him - and he was apparently good. Some people think he just googles obituaries and facebook posts, though. She mentioned a woman called Denise Guzzardo in her first book, who also impressed her father, but I don't know how much she charges.

I feel flattened, like my parents who played the lottery for years, at most winning $50 (in December - dad won it on a scratch-off), whereas there are others who have bought a ticket for the first time ever, and they're suddenly multi-millionaires.

Thank you for the information. I often see that a reputation is linked to high prices and not necessary with the gift itself. In real life though I would not go to many people to talk about my past as they link into my energy field.

Anela,

The lady I am referring to used to take public sessions as part of the spiritualist church practices. But stopped because she met other mediums who she saw as egotistical - they liked the acclaim and drama. She did not market herself because she was a full-time psychologist working for the local health service, she also had a doctorate in psychology. But she gave individual sittings which I benefited from. And there was no fixed charge, one gave what one could afford. In her case, she could see spirits and hear them from childhood. She was very untheatrical, sat quietly, closed her eyes and relayed messages. My dad died from motor neurone disease, where he had lost his speech and use of his hands for a whole year before he passed away. So it is very important for us to find out what he had thought and wanted to communicate. The communication was superb.
