Interviewed by Joelene Pynnonen and Belinda Hamilton

Sherry van’t Hag has read for thousands of people both privately and publicly and was one of the three psychics chosen to audition for Brynne Edelstens’s TV show My Bedazzled Life. Sherry is the recent winner of the award for‘Victorian Psychic of the year 2012’ voted by her peers in the Australian Psychics Association. With twenty two years of experience behind her, she is renowned for inspiring and extremely accurate guidance.

I’ve heard that nurses and doctors cannot sit down and watch episodes of ER without feeling like they’re bringing work home with them… Have you ever just sat down to watch shows like Medium, Ghost Whisperer or Long Island Medium for entertainment purposes?

Strangely enough, I have to admit that I have never sat down to watch an entire episode of any of these shows! Partly, yes, because it is for a lack of a better word, ‘work’, although most of the time my work does not feel like work to me, Never the less it is ironical that I have not taken up an interest in watching shows like this. I believe it is because sometimes the way in which it is portrayed can be quiet different to the way it actually is.

For example, being consistently woken during the night while trying to sleep, seeing spirits as if they are as clear as the living right next to us and hearing or having full conversations word for word with the deceased. Spirit communication although mind-blowing is not nearly as straight forward as it is shown in these shows, but if you’d like to know how it really works then you should read my book Eternal Light, I dedicate an entire chapter to educating people about all types of spirit communication. I speak about how we as mediums receive their messages, to the six stages of perception and how they (meaning spirit) try to get their messages across to us. Each medium is unique in their approach and it can be hard to define this and how it truly works in a television show.  

Do you find electrical items tend to misbehave around you, more than they would around a non-psychically intuitive person?

Actually, I really have to think about this one. I will have to say no. And that’s the answer I prefer, as sometimes when lights are going on and off and electrical equipment is playing up it can be quiet annoying. Yes I have seen it and witnessed it but not really much around myself.

Sometimes this type of activity happens when a spirit is restless and cannot get their information through, so I find that it is not particularly a good thing. Although some spirits it can actually be their trademark, so to speak. Every time my friend’s Mother would visit the lights would flicker in a consistent manner and I know of someone’s father in law who liked to change the television to stations he frequented when he was alive. All in all, there is no harm that can be done as long as the computer saves the manuscript!

Did you find that writing your book ‘Eternal Light’ helped you to put into words, things you had previously found difficult to express to family and friends? 

Most of my friends already know how deeply spiritual I am and quite a few are very spiritual themselves. Family, on the other hand, is an entirely different kettle of fish. I cannot actually name one family member who understands anything about my spirituality or even really comprehends what I actually do.

My mother, who is now supportive, had previously discouraged me to keep going with anything spiritual or psychic in nature. She always thought I would be better off with a normal job. After many years, she now realises that it is my life’s purpose and destiny to be a psychic medium. She is now also quite a fan of Psychic TV and is beginning to realise that I am not the only one on the planet who is into this type of thing. So this is quite a turnaround for her.

My daughter of nine has grown up with it around her, so it’s soaked through her DNA; she’s just like her mother. She actually gives me advice about my personal life and tells me how it is and her hands are holy as a saint, it is apparent to me when she lays her hands upon me or I hold her in my arms.

My son who is eighteen always gives me a hard time about my spirituality in a joking way but then he will praise me about my achievements and he is always encouraging when I do my work. So I know that deep down he knows there’s something to it! For other close family members who came to celebrate the launch of my book, they were there to support me not necessarily what I do, and I know that. I can only hope that if they read the book, it will ring true to them on some level. I wrote my book for humanity with the hopes and determination that we can raise our vibration and spiritual awareness on this planet and grasp the deeper meaning of life, not having to fear death or life or one another.

You have a lot of success with your prayers coming true. Does this work when you pray for yourself or when you pray for others? And is there usually someone specific that you pray to?

This is my favourite question to answer as my purpose is to make a difference in people’s lives and this is what I feel that I am doing when I pray! I do prayers for others that come true. By this I mean that I receive feedback that proves to me that my request from spirit for the person I am praying for has worked and changed their life for the better. As an example, of this I had a client whose husband had been very physical with her throughout their relationship. Of course, none of was acceptable and so I prayed that her husband see his wrong doing and his faults. I also prayed that he was to awaken to the fact that he really despised himself not her and realised that he needed to heal and immediately stop abusing his wife. I also said to my client that she would end the relationship with him and be much happier on her own. Weeks later she saw me and asked, “What did you do to my husband, he’s gone from beating me up to saying, hey I am sorry can we be friends?” She said that after my prayers he never lifted his hand to her again. About one year later she had another reading with me and she was on her own very happy.

I have had people tell me that on the night of my prayers all the noises that previously plagued them during the night had instantly stopped. There really are countless times I have prayed for people and all sorts of circumstances and things have changed. In my book, I write about what prayer is really is. Who do I pray to? I pray to the hierarchy in spirit and to the guides of the person I am working with. I do this is my own specific way.

Many years ago, while sitting in meditation I heard a voice say to me “You’re an Earth Angel”. A few days later I was about to do my first ever public speech and my friend handed me a tiny handbook by Doreen Virtue with a title that read, Earth Angels - what type are you? I had never heard the term Earth Angel until my loving guides mentioned it. And to prove I was hearing correctly they gave me a lovely sign to confirm any doubts I had in my mind about their message. It didn’t surprise me as back then in 2004. I had been working so diligently as a Lightworker through reading, healing and teaching that I knew I had a greater purpose here on Earth.

I was once told by a very good Psychic that I volunteered to come here upon this Earth at this time to help humanity with the quest for enlightenment and I believe that to be so. I have been informed that this is my last lifetime here on Earth. I believe that too. My path in life hasn’t always been easy, but to tell you the truth all I really wish for is a better more peaceful enlightened world where we can love one another and our dear planet and live in harmony.  There really there is so much work to do and I cannot get enough of it. The more I do, the better I feel. You can never pray too much and you can never love too much. I wrote my book for many reasons but to help us understand our true nature and to help humanity understand death are two.  My prayers come true because I command them to do so. My words are powerful and so are yours. Everyone can pray.

You’ve been doing psychic readings for 22 years now. What is the strangest case that you’ve had in that time?

It seems that there are so many that I find it hard to pinpoint just one incidence in particular but throughout my twenty seven year span of spiritual development I would have to say the strangest thing that has happened to me is when I entered a full conversation with my ex-partner John without opening my mouth once. In other words yes a real live true full length telepathic conversation!  This took place over ten years ago when John and I were sitting down close to midnight at his mother’s house. This particular conversation is documented in my book Eternal Light as it is quiet an anomaly! I sat to speak to him concerned about our relationship when all of a sudden I started communicating with him from my third eye. It was quite incredible; I could tell he knew what was happening by the look upon his face. My mouth was closed but I was speaking loud and clear in a telepathic method, it was so unusually profound and both of us seemed to be in a trance like state as if something else besides us was taking over, but none of it was scary, actually it was quite the opposite. There was amazing sense of peace and serenity within me as I relayed information to him through my telepathic dialogue. I spoke first then he responded.  I was the calm one while John was totally freaked out even as he was doing it. Never the less he was doing it somehow and when he had finished giving me his message our heads fell down as if to come out of the trance strangely enough his mothers clock struck midnight right at that second! His mother had passed away two years prior. I don’t know that I could do this again if I desperately tried and I am not sure what force of nature took over us that evening but all I feel is that there was such a deep connection with the two of us that it was able to take place.

You say that you occasionally use Angel cards, not Tarot cards. For us beginners, what is the difference? 

I started with Tarot cards all those years ago and the only Tarot pack I have ever owned are the very first ones I brought. I still have them now! They are called The Enchanted Tarot Deck by Amy Zerner and Monte Farber published in 1991. Back then I am not even sure if there were Angel cards. Now with the emergence of our very wonderful Doreen Virtue, who really is the Angel lady, we have many types of Angel cards and decks to choose from and more people are becoming aware of the existence of Angels, Arch Angels and Ascended Masters and the love and guidance that come to us from them.

There are so many Angel Decks and other tools available to us thanks to her ability to channel much information directly from Angels. She of course not the only person who has published Angels cards or channels information directly from them however she would be the most well known. Within my Tarot deck there are seventy eight cards, twenty two being Major Arcana and the rest comprised of four suits of Minor Arcana that correspond to different aspects of our lives.

Tarot cards are like a visual story telling tool, and when laid out in a card spread for an individual they will tell a story about the past the present and the future.  The exact date of the first use of tarot cards for divination (the art of foretelling the future) isn’t known but the oldest surviving decks date back as far as the fifteenth century. Since the ancient times it has been common to consult the oracles of various deities in temples and shrines to gain insight into the mysteries of life. I believe that the human spirit is eternally seeking to know and understand itself and its power. To explain the tarot in full we would have to go into great detail. Angel cards seem to be much easier and simpler to understand and read and I believe they are a relatively new concept. Either way both are a powerful tool to help mediums and psychic’s gain insight for guiding people in their lives. I use several decks of Angel cards and I pull them from the deck for people. They are always spot on. I usually use the cards at the end of the reading to confirm what I have already said. 

In the past you have used things like psychometry and Tarot cards but you find you don’t need these any longer. Do you think this is because you’re stronger in your psychic abilities now or because you have a better idea of how to use your abilities? 

In brief the answer to both those questions is yes. When I first began reading I was very unaware of how much it would develop or that one of my main strengths would be medium-ship  The tarot cards in the beginning where very useful as I read straight from them, yet even then I would sometimes receive information about my client before they arrived at the front door. Because I was first starting out I would get nervous so I would ask my guides for insight before the reading had begun.

Nowadays, because I know it’s all going to come through accurately and very fast I prefer to tune in when the reading begins. Naturally, I have improved immensely overtime, in the fact that I am more confident and more trusting of the information channelled to me through all the psychic senses. I see (clairvoyance) hear (clair-audience) feel (Clair-sentience) smell (clair-alience) and know (clair-cognizance).

Psychics seem to refine themselves as instruments for messages and it does get easier to do this without any tools. This is how it is for me anyway. I don’t need or use jewellery like I used to and the cards I don’t actually need. So yes I do indeed after so many years trust my own ability more but mostly I trust spirit, and this gives me complete confidence in what I do! It’s just beautiful!

Interviewed by Joelene Pynnonen and Belinda Hamilton

Jade-Sky is a Psychic/Medium-a “direct channeller”. She was born with a special gift of being able to connect clairvoyantly with energies of deceased loved ones. Over the past 19 years Jade-Sky has fine tuned her natural skills in the areas of psychometry, medium-ship/channelling and uncovering past lives. Jade-Sky has read professionally for clients from all around the world.

How do you ask your kids to address your profession to their classmates, and their parents when asked? (not everyone is open minded about Mediums and the likes)

My children are very open to what I do, in fact when they are little they think everyone’s Mum does the same thing that I do they don’t see anything weird about it. However now that my eldest child is in high school at a new school I have noticed a difference, he mentions that I am an author first and then once he gets to know the children he says that I am also a medium.

My younger children’s friends and parent’s know what I do and who I am and they are open to it, many of them are open spiritually too and so are their kids. The other parent’s or classmates who are not close to my kids do not know what I do, I am just a Mum all the same.

 Your ability is something that you have passed on to your kids, which according to Karina Machado’s wonderful book Spirit Sisters is 

remarkably common. Does this make motherhood more challenging for you? Or is it something that they are all comfortable with?

Yes my ability has been passed down to all three of my kids in three different ways. They are all individuals so each has their own gift. My youngest child my daughter is very similar to me she is a direct channel, a medium and she is very clairvoyant. She has channelled ever since she could talk and would accidently channel at daycare and freak her teachers out. Now that she has started school it is becoming easier for me to teach her how to close down and not to tell everything to everyone.

My second child is a healer, he is an empath and he sees things. This can be hard to deal with at night time and when he is around people that are stressed or sick as he tends to take on their energy too much. He also had a lot of premonitions when he was younger, as he has grown older he has blocked this out.

My eldest son my teenager is going through a scientific doubting stage and he has blocked his gifts for now, which actually helps him to focus on his studies and being a normal teenager.

With 4 books under your belt, do you think you’ll ever run out of material to write about?

I am so passionate about writing about so many different things, I will continue to teach and write. The world is an amazing place and the spiritual world is so vast I am sure there will be many more opportunities for me to write. In fact I am currently in the middle of writing my next book.

In your experience do those who have died hold grudges?

Each person and each spirit is individual; I have found though that many spirits see things from a different perspective after they have passed, usually they don’t hold grudges because they can see the past, present and future and how it affects everyone they have left behind.

You discovered your psychic ability through the spirit guides you had as a child. These guides were thought of by others as imaginary friends. Do you think this is a common misunderstanding about imaginary friends?

Yes I meet many people who have experienced similar experiences to me or their kids have imaginary friends, after to speaking to them they often realise that this friend was actually a spirit helper or guide. 

You say that children are more open and therefore have more psychic ability. What is it that closes us off from that as we grow older?

As children grow older and begin to learn things at school they start to use their intuition less and begin to learn to use their practical skills with reading, maths etc. Also as kids grow older they usually find new friends and often they don’t want to stand out or be different from the crowd so they begin to block what they are seeing or sensing or hearing to fit in with their peers.

As adults sometimes people may be quite reluctant to think that there is a spiritual world due to their belief systems, fear of the unknown or their own scepticism. It can be daunting for people to realise that there is more to the world than just the physical world, that there is in fact a spiritual world.

Interviewed by Joelene Pynnonen and Belinda Hamilton

As far as I am aware, the majority of ghost hunting is patient waiting and then there’s sifting through hours and hours of recordings for evidence. Do you find certain times of the year or phases of the moon bring more paranormal activity than others?

It’s hit and miss. Typically, it is when you least expect things to happen, they jump out at you. From my years of research, I think our dimensions line up at centre times with other spiritual dimensions and we are able to experience and capture unexplainable activity.

Provoking is a method that really divides the ghost hunting community. What are your personal thoughts on provoking? 

We use provocation when we are dealing with evil entities at locations where owners, managers and other eyewitnesses are crying out for help. We investigate a lot of sinister locations, like prisons. We do not use provocation against innocent spirits. We never walk into a location and just start yelling. We do our research first on the location, than we investigate. I have mixed feelings towards provocation. I don’t like walking into someone’s home and just start yelling at them. The flip side is, if you are being pushed, or bullied and you raise your voice back to stop or confront it.

With ghost ‘hunting’ apps for smart phones coming out in the last few years, do you think they are worth the time and do they have a place on a hunt?

I don’t personally use them and because of that I really don’t have a personal take on them. We team up with professional scientists that help develop specific pieces of equipment that we test and use in the field.

You say that your most frightening investigative experience was seeing the ghost of a woman at the Linda Vista Hospital in Los Angeles; this incident also affected your life profoundly. Did you ever find out who this woman might have been? And have other people reported sighting her?

Yes, this was the moment in my life that I became closer to the other side than ever before. After this experience, I have been searching out answers through tons of different sources. A former nurse at the hospital reached out to us and told the story about how she once worked there and experienced seeing the same Lady Spirit I saw. We did a return to Linda Vista hospital for a Ghost Adventures episode. We even went as far as researching info at the coroner’s office to see if there was any pictures of people who passed away at the hospital to try and match up with the spirit that I saw. It was closure for me to return and try to communicate with the spirit. I feel as if we might have helped the spirit understand what happen to her and possibly she could move on to a better place. This experience and image of the spirit is now a part of me.

You’ve experienced partial possession before and describe the feeling of a ‘dark presence’ coming over you. Do instances like this make you
reconsider chasing ghosts?

It is the most dangerous side of what we do as paranormal investigators. I’d never believed an energy could overtake your own self but it does happen. You have to be very strong spiritually. I have learned over the years how to improve that side of me. Sometimes the negative energy is too strong to face and I have lost my own self in this dark force. It is a feeling of dread. There have been a few times that I have thought twice about what I do and if I want to continue to do it. I have a family and I never want to put them in harm’s way. I am now very cautious.

How does it feel going into lock-down in a potentially haunted place? Do you have to prepare yourself for it in any way?

I don’t think to hard about it because I don’t want to work up my imagination. I want to go in with an open mind, but at the same time be very
cautious of the lingering energies that we could possibly come into contact with. I do the research first and learn the facts, than investigate the location from an open-minded perspective to see what evidence we can gather and match up to the eyewitness accounts.

I love what I do. Every day is something new and adventurous. You never know what you will encounter when stepping foot into a supposed haunted location. At times it is an extreme adult adrenaline rush. I question and learn new things about the afterlife every day that I am still breathing in this world. The unexplainable is very fascinating and intriguing to me. This is why I keep pursuing The Other Side!

Interviewed by Joelene Pynnonen and Belinda Hamilton

Jen Irishu is a Spiritual Counsellor who started out on her path by giving Tarot readings. She now travels the countryside sharing her amazing story, leading workshops, providing hands-on healing and doing radio and television appearances.

You describe finding others like yourself as a feeling that you had ‘come home’. What was it that had been setting you apart from others before your psychic abilities began to manifest?

I always felt I was different, even from a very young girl. I remember going to school and discussing a television program I ‘thought’ I had watched, only to find it on a couple of nights later! My dreams have always been prophetic, coming in clear messages or guidance, or in symbols, which are much harder, as you have to try to work them out.

I came from a very catholic family with rigid ideas about heaven, hell and God. I believed in re-incarnation! I questioned my religious faith over and over again, feeling there must be more to it. I was always questioning everything, and still do.

As I grew up, in to adulthood, I found I was thirsty for more. I wanted answers to why I felt so alone, in a world where I was misunderstood. It wasn’t until I started working in a medical clinic with like-minded ladies, was I able to open up and share my many ‘out there’ experiences…those ‘woo woo’ ones, where others think you are off the tree! I had finally been understood and accepted for who I was …I had come home to myself.

As well as raising money for and donating to children’s charities; you have written a book, Angels in My Dreams, to help children come to terms with grief and death. Is there is a spiritual calling for you to help children?

It is more than just assisting the children I am passionate about. To be honest, they are very accepting of death and dying. It is their parents, family and friends who struggle more. Although The Angel in my Dreams and The New Adventures of Angela and Eli…books 1 & 2 in The Angel Series, were written for children, it appears to be a journey of love for all ages.

Many people say that their psychic abilities become obvious in times of high stress or emotional trauma. Yours began to grow after your divorce. Do you find it strange that so many psychics, mystics, mediums etc. find their abilities surge, or develop after a traumatic event in their lives?

Mine had begun to grow well before my divorce. As I mentioned above, I had the ‘gift’ from childhood. I guess I was ‘shelved’ for a period of time until I was ready to ‘open up’ again. It was after the death of ‘my other wing’ when I truly began my re-awakening. What happens during times of grief, trauma etc is…on the top of the head is a chakra, called the Crown Chakra. The Crown Chakra opens during such times, allowing a direct spiritual connection, and through it you can reach your higher potential. The crown chakra is also connected with the third eye. I call this the opening of the bridge between our two ‘worlds’, the spirit world and us. Always remember…when the student is ready, the teacher will come.

During emotional upheaval we often retreat within to look for answers and guidance. When we are in the silence, it is then we hear the whispers from our spirit friends. The key is to train yourself to really listen and learn to distinguish between the mind and our messages or guidance. We all have psychic abilities; call it a sixth sense if you like. All we need to do, if this is the pathway we choose to go on, is to develop them to their highest potential.

You have a healing technique called ‘Rainbow Healing from the Heart’. Was this something you developed yourself? If so did it take a lot of effort or did you find it came naturally to you?

Yes, it is. I began with Reiki, as many of us do. I became very interested in the Chakras, colours and how this affects the body, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Being able to receive messages from my spirit guides and friends also assisted me when I was giving a healing. I would receive guidance to pass on to my client.

Here is an example – using my hands to scan the body, and my knowledge of the chakra system, I feel a lot of heat coming from an area needing healing, eg. The Sacral Chakra, situated below the navel. Many women have trouble in this area because we are so busy looking after everyone else, we usually forget about ourselves. It is also the area of self- respect and self-esteem. Fibroids are not giving birth to an idea or to us in some ways. Relationship problems occur in this region. Sexual abuse also manifests in the sacral region, hence diseasing our wombs and ovaries with many different ailments. Once I find the area that needs healing, I then ask my guides what the problem is and what my client can do about it. Using my counselling skills, I then sit with my client and go to the cause of the effect. Once they have an understanding of the source, the beginning of the problem, we then use meditation techniques to assist in clearing and healing. I have seen miracles happen. All I am is the instrument to assist in the healing process. My client is the healer. 

What about death do you think scares people the most?

I feel it is fear of the unknown. There is no such thing as death. Messages of Love, my spiritual awakening proves this. I was also afraid of dying until ‘my other wing’ came to me ‘after’ his death to show me a heaven I never knew existed. He and my other spirit friends have taught me so much since his passing. I have been able to share this in the children’s books.

If only every one would understand this, there is no ending, life is eternal. We can still communicate with our loved ones after our passing. We still grow and learn in the spirit world…we still have life, even though it is not as we know it to be now, on the earth plane.

I do know this, if we have unfinished business before we pass, you take it with you, to complete, from the other side. The Boy in Messages of Love had so many regrets, so much unfinished business, he vowed he would ‘stay’ until he had fixed it all.

When I am with a person who is dying, the first thing I ask them is, ‘Do you have any unfinished business you need to complete?’ It may be as simple as regret over a bad word to a family member or colleague that they are still carrying in their heart. A simple sorry may be all that is needed to find peace. To rest in peace you must have peace.

Interviewed by Joelene Pynnonen and Belinda Hamilton

A decade after quitting his job and pursuing his own journey, Andrew Warnes is at a pinnacle of his incredible quest as an experienced and sought-after psychic, and a successful practising life coach. He has been selected from amongst thousands of psychics to be on television’s “The One” in 2011 and then selected as Psychic of the Year (ACT) 2012.  His journey continues, no stopping……

For at least the last 6 years I have been a strong believer of the terms ‘when you know better, you do better,’ and ‘you get out of life what you put into it.’ What would be the first small step you’d suggest to someone who is at rock bottom, to begin turning their life around?

We have to realise that life is a journey. For some people that journey starts young with an inner knowing about the universe, for many of us though, it’s different. For me it started many years ago very slowly, I never did anything, spiritually, I just fumbled along, not fully believing, but wondering if there was something different out there. Moreover, many others did, like psychics, healers etc, well, they were right on top of it. I could never be at their level. That, of course, was my ego stepping in and for me, it was real. Also I made it hard for myself. Being a bloke, I hung out with other blokes and did blokey things, like sport, cars, motor bike and worked in science. Not a great recipe for building one’s psychic ability.

So for me, I had to have a fall before I would look inside myself. It was a big fall, right down into the gutter, lots of emotional pain and fear. It wasn’t an overnight realisation but I realised that I would need to do something otherwise I would be carried away in a box. This is when my journey began and it’s when phrases like “when you know better, you do better” start to mean something. If you had asked me about this 10 or 15 years ago I would have ranted on about some sort of one-sided philosophy and I wouldn’t be able to repeat what I was talking about.

What was the other part of the question? Oh that’s right ‘you get out of life what you put into it.’

See this whole thing is about looking at our lives in another way. We can go on living day in day out in our mundane way, which most of us are doing now or we can decide that maybe there is something there that is unexplainable. Maybe there is something much larger than all of us. What’s important is that we’re just a little open to this possibility, that’s all. 

So then you add some small dimension of yourself to yourself, it may be only a belief, a decision, a habit, anything, it doesn’t matter what it is. But what you is, do you say to yourself “This is going to be my belief until I change my mind about it or modify my belief”. Simple enough. It may be what you asked me before ‘when I know better I do better’. Ok, I’ll believe that is a truth. Incidentally, this is close to something I asked myself a long time ago, so it’s a great example. 

What happens next is interesting. Things will start to happen that will help you reinforce this truth. Really! It does happen.

So for me, I started to read, and talk to people about new age philosophy and other spiritual things. Before I knew it, I was doing it, and I might say, I was doing it very well. So I knew better, so I did better. 

The next part?

“You get out of life what you put into it” is exactly the same. You learn not to be the victim. You learn to be responsible for your own destiny, it’s fantastic.

As for avoiding hitting rock bottom? Yes, that can be done, I wish I had done it sooner, but that’s my stuff. We need to look at our lives and search very deeply for what we want. Most of us only do that after we’ve suffer huge pain, many don’t at all, they just continue to suffer. The most important thing is to try, then try again, then again, and keep trying…..and it all starts by making a decision not to hit rock bottom. You’ve got to remember, this is not for the faint hearted, you know, say to the person on the street “Give up you job, your house, your life as you know it and look to the unknown and walk towards it……” No wonder people are frightened, it’s a very scary proposition. It doesn’t have to be, but for many, they would rather keep the life they are currently living.

 Do you believe in reincarnation? If so, do you believe some people carry extremely heavy burdens from a previous life that may make their reinvention a challenge?

You know, I was meditating one morning not that many years ago about humans being here on earth or wherever and it dawned on me that God, or Buddha, Shiva or whoever must have been a real prick. There we have, on the one hand, a God of love and on the other hand, a God of suffering. I don’t get it. That’s crazy, and to think, we’re born and die and then there’s nothing else. That’s super crazy, what’s the point of that. Why wouldn’t God put us here with a life of bliss! That’s so, so, simple minded and narrow. But what if we incarnated. Hah, now that’s a whole different thing. We’re born, we live and learn, we die, we’re reborn, live and die etc. etc. now that makes a bit of sense to me. That’s a loving God. That’s a God that says “I’m going to give you a birth, it will be tough, you have things to learn and you’ll keep going back until you learn it”. And that God also says “Trust in me and I’ll show you the way”. Absolutely profound.

As for the reincarnation itself. I’m sure there are millions, no billions of reincarnation stories. Each one profound for that person. Some are bloody hard, others are somewhat ‘easy’, it depends on the individual, and that individual’s karma. Just remember, that whatever you carry over from your last reincarnation is a reflection of you karma. If it’s difficult, crappy stuff, that’s what you had to work on, and visa versa. 

Of all your reinvention success stories, do you ever take the time to reassess yourself and pat yourself on the back for a job well done?

Most certainly. Very important that I do. I’m cautious though. I’m very lucky to have a number of mentors who keep me on the straight-and-narrow. They tell me if arrogance is slipping in, not that it ever has, they just watch me and warn me. It’s lovely to have that.

I’m actually reassessing myself all the time because my story or I should say the story is changing all the time. It’s an interesting phenomenon. You see, over time there is theme to what people’s challenges are. Five or six years ago, I saw lots and lots of people with chronic fatigue, now I only see a few. Just at the moment, it’s people wanting to find their essence, what their true reason for being here is.

I will say, I have a nice way of patting myself on the back and it happens when a return client comes to me. I’m good at feeling the person’s vibe emotionally, where they are actually at and how they feel at the time. When they return I frequently feel them on another vibrational level. I love this, it’s why I do what I do. It could have been that I had nothing to do with this new vibrational level, but they say, in returning to me, that I did. Now that’s a buzz. And it’s an even bigger buzz when I predict something nice is going to happen and they call me to say it has, that’s nice too. So if that’s patting yourself on the back? Guilty as charged, your honour!

Your psychic readings are done through Tarot. What is it that drew you to this medium?

I started with Angel cards not that many years ago. I would use maybe two or three packs. Then I tried Tarot and got dark results, so stayed with Angel cards until my ex-partner gave me her small pack of Tarot and I used it a couple of times with Angel cards. The readings changed, I think, for the better. Then it was a matter of doing hundreds of sessions with both and then a few rushed sessions with the Tarot. I got into the habit of carrying that small Tarot pack around with me, still do, here it is…..

Tarot now has a particular energy for me, its non-duality, which means that there is no right/wrong, good/bad, light/dark. There is only the message, and I give that message as I see it and feel it. There’s an important point I need to make though. If you’re sitting here and we’re doing your reading and I come up with some information that I need to pass on, I’m careful how I deliver that message. If I tell you something that you’ll find tough emotionally, you’ll close down. You won’t listen to the next thing I tell you. This is human nature, so I’m cautious how I give the message.

Do you have a preference for a particular Tarot deck or do you prefer to use multiple decks in your readings?

I can use them all. And I have a number of different brands including Rider/Waite. The cards I’m using mostly at the moment are the Guilded Tarot. They’re really colourful and very sexy, the images, especially of the women are beautiful. Ha ha, lots of women gaze longingly at the pictures of the men in the cards as well, so it’s not one sided.

Many of your clients want to find out about their past lives. Has there been a case of past lives that particularly stands out to you and can you tell us a bit about it?

I often do myself out of business with past life work because I believe we’re born into this life and it’s in this life that we have to learn to live and learn. So work in this realm, for me, is of idle interest only, and that’s what I tell my clients. Having said that I have had a couple of spectacular results. One was a woman in Ireland who wanted to know about her mother and one or two things that she felt had happened to her. I stopped her giving me too much detail and away I went. There was a time pre WWII and there she was in England and very poor, very tough life. Anyway, the story I gave her matched what she had dreamt almost word for word, she didn’t believe it. I would say or describe something and she would finish the description. Real crazy stuff, hey, I don’t make the rules.

Another instance a number of years ago, here in Brisbane, where this woman came to me and it turned out she, her sister and two brothers were abused sexually by their father for many years. We looked at this and got a picture of this abuse happening for many generations. Incredible. Anyway, this woman moved to the Central Coast in NSW, I think she’s still there. What became really interesting was that she never talked to her brothers, especially the older successful British businessman one and mentioned to her that the fact that we looked at this abuse through the ages may mean that she has the power to halt it in her family. Powerful stuff eh? Anyway, months later, she called me to say she had been in contact with the older brother and that they would be meeting up when he visited Australia in a month or so. Apparently now the whole family are talking to one another. Maybe it was what we did, or maybe a coincidence, I don’t know. Great story though isn’t it.
