I know the thought of visiting a psychic medium kind of freaks people out, or it has people very skeptical about the outcome of the visit. No, they don't use crystal balls or convulse while doing the reading. I would recommend visiting a psychic at least once or more during your lifetime. You won’t regret it.

In November of 2015, I decided to go and visit a psychic. My mom and I had been talking about it for a while, and I decided to go. My father had passed away tragically a few years before that, and I needed some closure. Also, my grandmother had passed away in 2011 and we were close. So, connecting with her again would be nice, too.

Honestly, I didn’t know what to expect when I first walked in. The entire process was a learning experience, though, where I was wondering what would happen next. This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

“It’s really simple,” she said, rubbing her hands together that sounded like sandpaper running across the floor. “The first thing I need you to do is relax,” she said, before inhaling deeply. Exhaling, she continued. “That’s the main thing — relax. You’re just going to sit right there, and I am just going to use your energy to communicate. I’ll touch your energy, soul to soul. You shouldn’t feel anything, let me know if you feel uncomfortable.”

That’s how it started. By the end of the session, her words and the words of my deceased loved ones had practically given me a nice, warm hug. It was honestly great. The aura of the room was not eerie or creepy at all. Rather, I just sat there in comfort. You get to ask her questions and she answers them with the help of the energies who are there for you on the other side. Also, your deceased relatives give her validations, which she repeats, so that you can feel comfortable with the connection. It’s almost as if you are speaking to your loved ones directly, but the psychic interprets what they want to say to you.

A week ago, I went back to the psychic and I got to talk to my father and grandmother again. It was cool that both said that they keep tabs on my day-to-day life. Your loved ones may not be here in the physical world, but they are still there for you in the afterlife. Trust me.
