“My wife died a few months ago and I was wondering – can you connect with her?”

I’ve never considered myself a medium, in the sense that I could connect with the deceased friends and relatives of my clients, on demand. But here I was – doing a reading – with this heartbreaking question resting on my lap.

I quieted my thoughts for at least a minute. I thought I would start getting nervous. But somehow for that minute I managed to stay in a calm state-of-mind.

Slowly the images began to come through. And then that damaging thought occurred…

What if I’m wrong?

With such a delicate situation underfoot I hesitated a bit to relay what I was seeing. What if the images I was getting were off? Do I really want to launch into a scenario and be terribly mistaken, possibly hurting this man even more?

Before I could contemplate any longer I started to speak. I began describing the woman that I saw. My leg started to tingle, and I inquired why.

Turns out that I had indeed connected with his deceased wife. She apparently had a limp, hence my tingling leg.

When I got off the telephone with him I was both excited and shocked. Excited because I’d just done a “John Edwards” move. And shocked because the images that came through were so plain and matter-of-factly.

I always thought when I connected with the deceased it would be some kind of glitzy inner production. You know like some kind of flash you see on shows like Ghost Whisperer.

But it wasn’t ANYTHING like that.

And that’s why TRUST is such a big deal for us.

Psychic thoughts are almost like chameleons. They’ll blend in with whatever’s going on in your mind – to the point that sometimes you’ll barely recognize them.

For example, while I’m giving a reading I might have a passing thought about a conversation I had with a friend earlier in the week. I used to ignore those fleeting thoughts. After all, what does my private conversation have to do with my client?

I quickly realized that that’s the way your psychic mind works.

If a conversation I previously had pops up out of nowhere during a reading, the basic message of that conversation almost always applies to the person I’m reading for.

It’s just a matter of trusting what you see, hear or feel when you’re in that psychic state-of-mind.

And it’s actually a lot easier than it sounds.

You simply have to be open to trusting what you see, feel or hear. And if you’re doing a reading for somebody else, you have to be trusting enough to relay those thoughts.

So if you were looking for the whiz-bang method, there is none. There’s only TRUST.
