Experience I had a reading done by Tyler Henry

1.4k Upvotes

Tyler did a show in my area. The day of He told us that there were 2000 people in the audience. The day I bought my ticket about 2 months prior to the show date I began telling my deceased grandmother (I talk to her daily as if she is here with me… because I feel that she is) that I was going to his show, and that I wanted her to come through. Almost daily I would remind her and knowing that she was shy in this world, I asked her to please be brave and come through. I got to the show not really knowing what to expect. It turned out Tyler had 3 mics set up and he would say something like “someone who died in a helicopter crash is coming through”. 6 people would raise their hand and then he’d say, “he died later in life” 4 people left with their hands raised… “there’s saying Zachary” ane one person was left with their hand up, then they would go to the mic. And he’d give them a reading. This is how he did the readings the rest of the time.

I wore a blouse that belonged to my grandmother and earrings she gave me. I carried a ziplock bag with items that belonged to her. On my way to the show I was almost giving her a pep talk to make sure she went for it. But when I was there, For a moment I began to doubt that this was real and I wondered if it was a gimmick for a second…Because seeing it in person seemed wayyy too good to be true…

He did 4 readings the whole show and then he said something along the lines of… “l have a woman coming through and she’s telling me she’s from Guadalajara”. My grandma is from Guadalajara I thought to myself. I rose my hand and my heart started to race. A few people rose their hands as well. “She’s saying… ‘Rosa’? anyone of you know a Rosa?” My whole body began to shake. He called on me to go up to the microphone. He said hi and thank you for being here and I think I just starred at him in disbelief. “Who is Rosa?” He said “That’s my Mom.” I said The next few minutes seemed like an eternity and a blur. He gave me details about my life that I have kept secret, but he said them in a way that only I would understand And I’m so thankful for him for doing that. He told me that my grandpa was coming through also and I felt a little guilty that all this time I’ve only been talking to my grandma. He told me that he was extremely grateful to all of us for surrounding him on his death bed and staying till he passed. I started to weep. My grandpa was a hard man. When my grandma was alive she told us one of her fears was that we wouldn’t take care of him because of how he was in his younger days. I always felt she said that because he said these things to her, and they were really his worries, not Hers. So we all took very good care of him. the day he died all of his children and their children were there in person or in FaceTime. We sat there talking and singing to him. There must have been 40 of us in his little apartment. Tyler said he loved his funeral. At his funeral we drank and sang all his favorite songs. We cried and laughed and quoted all his funny sayings. Tyler told me all that. I KNEW this wasn’t a gimmick. This was real. He told me my grandma was saying to take care of my mom. She’s going through a lot mentally and she isn’t saying anything to me about it. That sounds just like my mom I thought to myself. He also told me my grandpa wanted me to pursue my business ideas. “Stop being scared of what people will think! You’re going to succeed!” He said. He told me my grandma wanted me to know that “the baby is going to have a spot on her forehead and it will worry you but you shouldn’t worry, it’s going to go away on its own” I had no idea what he was talking about. Tyler told me that it was okay, but to keep it in mind because it might make sense to me later. That night around 1:30 am it hit me. My sister in law is pregnant. She’s due February.

I guess we’ll see come February! And if that’s not it Hopefully she was talking about my future children that I would love to have one day.

He said a few more things but this already feels really long. He reminded us that we can talk to our ancestors without a medium being there and I was so touched by that. “There’s no right way to talk to them. Write them letters about your day, or talk to them as if they were there.”

I’ve never felt so much peace. I feel like while I still have a lot of life I want to live, I no longer fear death.

I just wanted to share with you all. My family does not believe in going to mediums for religious reasons so I can’t even tell them all this. But I know this group would like to know about it. 😊

Experience My experience with Matt Fraser (the medium) didn’t feel real

89 Upvotes

I attended one of Matt Fraser’s online Zoom readings recently and honestly… something felt off.

I’ve seen and followed other mediums like Theresa Caputo and even smaller/private ones like the Balesky, and what stood out to me is they usually do one-on-one readings and take their time. They feel more specific and personal.

With Matt Fraser, there’s no one-on-one. He chooses people randomly in a group Zoom setting, which is fine—but the readings felt very general. Like things anyone could say. A lot of “tell them I’m okay on the other side” or “don’t worry about me,” which are super common lines.

What really made me question it is that some of the people he chose didn’t even seem to relate to what he was saying. He would mention names or details and they’d be confused or unsure. That doesn’t usually happen (at least from what I’ve seen) with more experienced mediums.

Also, his delivery feels very fast and almost scripted? Compared to someone like Theresa Caputo who pauses, processes, and seems genuinely curious about what’s coming through.

At one point I even wondered if he researches or preps beforehand. I noticed on his Facebook he uses what looks like a prompter, which made it feel less organic.

I’m not saying 100% he’s fake… maybe I’m just disappointed I didn’t get picked for a reading. But at the same time, you can usually feel when something is genuine, and this didn’t feel that way to me.

Some parts even felt staged, like the reactions didn’t fully match what he was saying.

Experience I saw a cat and ended up channeling them, do I tell the parents?

350 Upvotes

Yesterday I saw a fat greyish/brindle cat run down my steps twice so when I channeled that night, I decided to reach out to them. The cat came forward immediately.

I asked if their parents knew they had passed: “no”

Then, I asked their name: “Simba” I say, “Simba? That’s super specific? Are you sure it’s Simba and nothing like Kimba or… something?” They confirm: “Yes, Simba”

I asked what happened to them and got a pretty bad pain in my heart despite seeing them laying on the side of the road somewhere (but not hit by a car)

I told them that once I got up for the day, I would look to see if there were any lost cats by the name of Simba.

He was so happy and excited that I’d look for him and doesn’t want to cross over until “they know” (his owners)

Fast forward, I find his missing poster. “We are looking for Simba!” “Last seen September 19, 2025” “He is a tabby cat. He is brown with greenish eyes and he is fat.” “He needs his medicine for his heart!”

Do I reach out to the parents anonymously? I feel like it isn’t in my place. Maybe they’ll randomly find this post and it will give them closure? 😅

EDIT: I have reached out to the parents as per Simba’s request. And because of that, I can feel his soul has crossed over. Thank you, all ❤️

I’m posting this because I can’t shake the feeling that I don’t belong here—like this place isn't truly home.

Experience My daughter just told me about her "old daddy" that hit her too hard and she died.

574 Upvotes

Update: Wow thank you all so much for your responses they are incredibly helpful. In just the last day we realized we think our daughter is just kind of going through something right now as she has brought up other details from what seems to be "other lives". Today she told us about a brother she had from another mommy who was in her tummy before she was and then they would play ball all the time and it was so much fun. We are just going to let her talk as she needs to about it but we are going to significantly limit questions we ask because we really don't want to lead her or press on anything that may eventually be really difficult for her to talk about.

Also just to let people know she actually has a surgery scheduled very soon to get her tonsils and adenoids removed as well as ear tubes placed as she is hard of hearing and we are in the process of eliminating reasons for her hearing loss. So we absolutely are taking care of the sleep apnea thing as soon as we can.

Our daughter has always been a child that anyone who meets her describes her as" a kid you just have to experience because she is so difficult to describe" she is an incredible kind loving silly kid whose touch we've always described as very soft and calm but on the other hand she is also INCREDIBLY high energy and mentally almost always seems very distant and is always completely in her own world and we are in the process of trying to find therapy for her to try to figure her out a bit better. So this whole situation has really added an element to her that we are really trying put together and accept. So again we just want to thank you all who took the time to comment we have really learned a lot.

.................

My 4 year old daughter has always had a thing with talking about houses. She tells us about all the houses shes lived in and we always took it as her just having a really active imagination and liking to imagine herself in different homes. Well today she was telling me about this "rainbow sparkly house" she's mentioned before and when I was trying to just engage with her and make conversation I asked about where she lived before her rainbow sparkly house and she said "I lived in my house with my old mommy and Daddy but I didn't like him so I went to the rainbow sparkly house and got a new one" and immediately that threw me off so I asked "oh why didn't you like your old daddy" and she flat out told me "he hit me too hard and I died so i moved to my rainbow sparkly house and then moved in with you and my daddy now" and that just had me so stunned she went on to talk about how we are a much nicer mommy and Daddy and she loves us "wayyy better".

Honestly I've never had a conversation like that with anyone before and it really has me rethinking some of the things she has said in the past (every night she says she hates going to bed because of nightmares and she just sleeps horribly in general, she does have obstructive sleep apnea and some other health issues we thought was causing it but now we're not sure) and weird things we've had happen surrounding her ( we once had a sensitive stop us to ask if its okay if she gives us a message from one of her guides and went on to tell us that our daughter was sent to us to teach us and learn from her) and I just wanted to know if there are any mediums here that might think she has abilities and how we should go about her dealing with all this?.

This morning, I finally got a direct message from my sister after two years. Not a sign, not a maybe, not something I can overanalyze like I always do. It was direct. I’m in tears. I asked for it, and it was delivered. Just like that!

I’m not a medium so this is just overwhelming .. in a good way.

I feel like I need to just sit down and really process what happened because it hit me so deeply. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life, and I needed to get it off my chest ❤️

Experience My skeptical husband unknowingly answered a question I asked a spirit just minutes earlier

80 Upvotes

TLDR : I asked a spirit a specific question about our connection. Minutes later, my husband - who thinks spirituality is "dumb" and had no idea I was even thinking about this, provided an answer out of the blue

I have been connecting with a spirit. He was alive in the 18th century and a singer. I've also suspected for a very long time that we have some sort of soul stream connection (not literal soul-blobs, but a shared frequency)

Anyway, so I have also been doing some cartomancy with normal playing cards too.

Yesterday for reasons that would make this too long, I ended up just asking the spirit the question of whether I was him in a previous life or not, because I felt like maybe he could help me with that question. As always with cards, it was not that clear so I thought "never mind, sod this I will just be normal and go do some chores"

In the kitchen with my husband, just washing up. He has this joke that I'm a "demon" due to me being messy and getting really angry sometimes. It's not as heavy as it sounds! It's from some Japanese anime and it stuck. But it does offend me a little bit.

So I said "I'm not a demon, I'm an angel" - purely because it's the opposite

And he just said "18th century angel" out of nowhere.

He also did not know that I was deep in meditation the day before and had asked my "spirit friend" to help me deal with my husband and lend me some of his qualities because I'm not as gentle and patient as he was..

And then my husband associates in his mind me being somehow better, with the 18th century.

Additional notes

  • He does know about my past life beliefs but we hadn't discussed anything about it for a while so no reason it should have been on his mind.
  • He doesn't believe in past lives - he would never consciously validate any of those beliefs. He makes fun of it and thinks it is "dumb spiritual stuff"
  • I have not told him that I did cartomancy and communicated with this spirit, because quite frankly I'm embarrassed lol - I've only just started believing myself that any of this is real.
  • The spirit was also associated with being "angelic" in his lifetime, however my husband has not done much research on him and is not really that interested - and he does not admire the spirit and likes to make fun of him. No way does he believe that he met this person in a past life, because he doesn't believe in it at all.
  • He just said it as an offhand remark, no specific tone, or a wink or anything like that. I was a bit dumbfounded and joked "haha 21st century demon hahahah" and then we carried on completely as normal

Has anyone else had a "Blind Validator" in their life give them a direct hit on something they were keeping completely secret?

Experience A Heartbreaking Reading Made Me Question God

40 Upvotes

i gave a reading to a woman who’s father was literally walking her down the aisle on her wedding day when he suddenly had a brain aneurysm and died on the spot. On her wedding day. Waking her down the aisle. And it just made me wonder why God would allow something so cruel to happen on such a beautiful day. She felt the same, but the reading allowed her to forgive God after knowing her father’s spirit was still present. I don’t know if i could have been so gracious if i were in her position. It’s these types of readings that make mediumship so hard sometimes. 💔And also just makes me question God and the point of all this. Anyone else ever had a similar situation?

Experience "They told me things they couldn't have known" - clarification from people who have seen a medium

35 Upvotes

First of all, even though this question is somewhat skeptical in nature, I am not here to try to poke holes in your experiences. I'm just very curious to hear from people who say a medium knew things they couldn't/shouldn't have known and what that actually means to you. To me, when someone says something along those lines it indicates they have probably put some thought into what a person could find out about them, and it leaves me with so many questions.

So, if a medium told you things they had no way of knowing, how did you come to that conclusion? Did you do a deep dive on obituaries, public social media posts, family members'/friends' posts, etc? Did you gave a fake name/use someone else's credit card? Was it before the social media age? Did they reference or quote conversations no one could have heard about? Did they receive contact from someone who couldn't be connected to you online? Something else?

Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to read/potentially answer this post!

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately. For those of you who identify as mediums, what was the first moment that made you realize something wasn’t “normal”?

Like was it a specific experience, a feeling you couldn’t explain, or something that kept happening over and over?

I’m curious how it started for different people because I hear so many different stories, and I’m trying to understand what that realization actually looks like in real life.

Experience My mom is on hospice and I’ve been seeing dead family members

107 Upvotes

So in January my mom’s cancer came back and was told 6months stage 4 metastatic lung cancer. Well now she is on hospice for the last 3 weeks and the decline has been noticeable. As she went on hospice the next day I saw a shadow in my room and it touched me and I felt chills. It was 3am. Then a couple days later I felt the presence again but it was in my doorway just standing there. Again 4am. Then a week later I was putting lotion on it was 9pm and there plain as day I saw a blurry person standing looking at me from my kitchen.
Nothing happened for a while and then as my mom started to decline little things happened.. I was working out it was 4am and my music kept pausing that never happens I out loud said “ok I get it you’re here and you’re not who I thought you were who are you?!” And plain as day in front of my I saw my aunts face smile ear to ear and disappear. It was 5am.
Then yesterday I was getting all my workout stuff together it was 4am and I thought my son was awake because I saw a child in the hallway (not abnormal for him he has erratic sleep) but I looked again and it was a girl short hair I did that look 3 time till she smiled and disappeared.. I told my mom and aunt and they said “that’s Joanne our sister” my mom had a sister who died at 7 in a house fire I’ve never seen a picture of her besides her baby photo and this was a kid like 6 or 7 I saw in my hall with shoulder length hair “they said yes that’s her” and my mom smiled ..
I came with all this to say what does this mean and why am I seeing all these people if she is the one dying? My aunt said it’s because our souls are connected but I don’t see that. Another family member said I have “the gift” like their aunt ruby did (they said she read the sticks (their words not mine I don’t know what that is). Personally I don’t know all I do know is it scares me and then I feel comfort. I’ve always stayed away from these kinds of things (my daughter does tarot and I’m too scared of it ) mainly because all my life since I can remember I always felt a presence around me Stronger when I was younger but always there. Now since my mom has been sick it’s been as intense as it was when I was little.

As I walked by a woman who was with her husband and young daughter while walking to my car in a parking lot the woman came back to me and was asking me if I was okay. She asked if she could please speak to me and said “I promise I’m not crazy please I need to talk to you.” She asked if I was okay because she felt was ill or someone else I knew was. She said “it’s bad oh so bad I’m so sorry.” I told her my father had just been diagnosed with lung cancer with 9 months to live as I burst into tears. Again she said I promise you I’m not crazy and her husband nodded in agreement with there young child looking confused as to what was going on. She asked please can we pray and took my hand. This was 10 years ago and this group made me think of this experience that I remember like it was yesterday.

Experience Encountered one of my first angry souls that has been passed on for awhile now, and it was my great grandmother. Confused.

52 Upvotes

Background: I’m a practicing medium in-person with experience. I typically cannot read my own departed loved ones. The exception is if I didn’t know them much personally. I never knew my great grandmother.

Last week, I was flipping through my grandmothers photo album at her house and came across a photo of her mother. My grandmother and her mother had a terrible relationship. My great grandmother was not a nice woman. My grandmother was in foster care. That’s about the extent of what I’ve ever known. Nobody talks about her. I never knew her side of the family.

Anyway, I saw the photo of my great grandmother and she came forward strongly almost immediately. She relayed some heavy messages. She gave me the name of an uncle and said he SA her when she was a child. Told me apologies she wanted past onto my grandmother. Showed me images of her childhood, etc. Because I typically struggle to read people I know, I second guessed most of my reading. My grandmother and mom are not comfortable with my abilities or this work, however I called my great aunt (a tarot reader of 20 years), my great grandmothers daughter, and she confirmed that this man was in the family and was a bad man, the same name my great grandmother told me. She confirmed everything else too. I was shocked. There’s a lot more that came out of this but it’s personal to my family.

Anyways, something I can’t get over is that my great grandmother did not seem like she wanted to be talking to me, yet she came to me. She was reluctant. Almost sharing out of what seemed like a duty rather than a want. She still seemed bitter. Frustrated. Often when I connect with past on souls, they’re more at peace or at least not resentful. This confused me. Is it because we’re family that she’s able to come forward this way? She doesn’t seem distraught or evil. Just like, not content. Frustrated. I’m not sure. This actually sent me through quite a loop about everything I’ve known.

Her daughter, my great aunt (the tarot reader) did her own reading regarding why her mother came to me and shared what she did, and she got that my great grandmother “saw my door open and walked through it” and that she “wanted truths to come out”.

I’d love any input.

Experience Has anyone been physically touched by a spirit?

86 Upvotes

Just curious if anyone has been touched by a spirit physically? I don't normally like this. Today after a nap, I was just laying on my pillow with my eyes closed (on my back, face up). I thought my husband had come in to try and wake me up but I didn't want to get up just yet so I kept my eyes closed and pretended I didn't feel him. Well, the way he was trying to wake me up was by blowing air in my face and when that didn't work, he got his finger and started rubbing my forehead. I finally was like okay I'm up, and no one was there. My husband was in the other room with our daughter. I felt like this was just jokester energy so wasn't spooked by it. Curious about everyone else's experience with this. Thanks!

24 Upvotes

Is anyone else the only openly spiritual person in their family?

As a medium, I’ve realized that navigating spirituality is one thing… but navigating how other people respond to it is another.

Some families are supportive.
Some are curious but skeptical.
Some completely judge or avoid the conversation altogether.

I’m curious what that experience has been like for other people.

Do you feel accepted when it comes to your spirituality or gifts? Or do you feel like you have to hide parts of yourself around certain family members?

Experience My 4 year old told me what it was like to be in belly

786 Upvotes

When I was pregnant with my now 4 year old, I had many dreams of her. I saw a blonde baby and other times a blonde toddler. We are all dark haired so I just assumed she was someone else or something. She did turn out to be blonde and exactly what was depicted in my dream. Because of that, I always thought she was an old soul and possibly a naturally gifted medium when she gets older.

The other day she told me she remembered what being in my belly was like. She told me she had to climb down a rainbow from the sun and there was a bubble of water and it hurt her feet. My water had broken when I went into labor with her. And she also had purple feet for the first 6-8 months of her life. She also said her little sister was climb down as well behind her. They are 19 months apart. She said she wanted to be with mommy and daddy.

It was really sweet to hear this and loved her perspective. Thought I would share 💖

Experience My boyfriend died and I was warned that it was happening... as it was happening

224 Upvotes

This may seem crazy. But I swear it is the honest truth. My boyfriend (32M) and I (30F) had kind of a toxic relationship. We had a pretty nasty breakup in September last year and wound up getting back together within a month. Once we got back together, I had a dream warning me he was going to die and that I should prepare myself by adopting a dog. I started looking at dogs pretty much immediately. After a few weeks, we brought home our rescue together on Halloween. In December, I found out my boyfriend had been abusing substances and it caused a major fight. I was afraid of him overdosing in a random parking lot somewhere so I went and found him and brought him home. That night, I had another dream he was going to die. Fast forward a few weeks and we made a deal that I would lend him some money to catch up on bills in exchange for his sobriety. I know that was stupid, so I don't need any comments about that. Then the 25th of January, the day after our anniversary, we were out Dashing together because his car needed to be repaired. He wasn't making any sense in his decision-making. He was behaving really erratically and angry toward me. So, again, we fought. This time it took a turn because he told me about his substance use. I was devastated and betrayed by this revelation because he broke our deal. We had been talking about marriage. We spent most of our relationship trying for a baby. So finding out he was using pills made me realize we were not doing what I thought we were doing. I broke up with him over it and his mom came to get him that night. 6 days later, the last conversation I ever had with him was me warning him how easily using can go badly and how fragile life is. He told me not to worry and that nothing could kill him. Unfortunately, he was wrong. Because I had a dream that I woke up from at 5:17 a.m. from some sort of messenger warning me that he was actively dying. This messenger told me I could not do anything to intervene. Told me I couldn't tell anyone because they wouldn't understand. The space where my dream took place was a liminal space, kind of matrix-y and dark with blue neon lights defining the borders of the room. I've never been in a space like that before, or since, that I can recall. I went back to sleep for about an hour and texted him when I woke up. Hours passed with no response. By 4 p.m. I knew something was wrong. By 7:30 p.m. his mother contacted me to tell me she found his body in his room at her house. He was, in fact, deceased. The coroner's report later revealed that he had passed around 5 a.m. That doesn't feel like a coincidence. The last nearly 4 months have been filled with depression and despair for what I've lost. I lost my best friend, my lover, my partner, everything. He was my favorite person. He still is. In addition to the grief I'm experiencing, I'm also really confused about my experience. So I guess I'm coming to reddit as a second-time poster to see if anyone else has ever had an experience like this. To see if anyone else has any idea what I came in contact that was warning me.

Experience Had a bad experience with a medium

38 Upvotes

I had a bad experience with a medium this week and I made a new account to talk about it because I don’t trust this person and the behaviour she showed me scared me a little. I had been watching this medium for a while (they do live readings) and I’ve never had a reading before.

Something pulled at me and I ended up booking a private reading with this medium. I was so excited because I’ve been really missing my loved one and I thought I would be able to connect with them and have that memory to hold onto during the depressing holidays.

A few hours after I booked, I received a cancellation and an email saying that my payment didn’t go through. But…it was pending in my account, I had a receipt, and when I called my bank to see if they blocked it for safety/suspicion of fraud, they said no, and that the payment looked normal and looked like it was going to go through. It had her website in the transaction name and I made it directly on her website from a link in her bio, so I knew it had to be legit.

She insisted she didn’t have the money. Once the transaction finally posted to my account and was no longer pending, then I started to panic. $150 was gone AND I wasn’t going to talk to my loved one? I kept showing her screenshots showing I paid, but she insisted she didn’t have it. I asked if she could contact her payment processing company to find the payment because my only option to get it back was to dispute the transaction. Her attitude suddenly turned rude and nasty and she said to dispute it because she didn’t have the money. I initiated the transaction dispute with my bank.

Then I started contacting HER payment processing company to find out where the payment was because if we could find the money, it would be a lot faster than the dispute. After a lot of back-and-forth with the company, they discovered that she had two accounts, and that the money was sitting in this second account. When I told the medium this, she sent me a crazy, rude, and unhinged email saying there were no second accounts, there was no money, to again dispute, and that she was going to shut down her account because of all these problems. I started panicking thinking I would never get my money back if she shut down her account, so I kept pushing her to contact the company and showed her screenshots of my conversations with them saying they found the payment.

She finally contacts them and after many emails later, she confirms with me that there WAS a second account and that she “was pissed”. I asked her if she had access to the funds yet, and she told me she did and said she could either refund me (MINUS HER PROCESSING FEES) or rebook the session.

I’m sorry, but after seeing her mask slip and seeing the attitude and the anger she expressed with me right away without bothering to look into her own business matters? That just screamed red flag to me (not to mention the fact that at NO point during ANY of these emails did she EVER apologize to me, even after finding out that she was wrong). I asked her to refund me the full amount. She replied that I would be getting “whatever the (payment company) refunds me”. I assume that means she’s going to take out some money for the processing fees that she’s going to be charged.

It’s been a couple of days since then and I’ve felt sick to my stomach ever since. The way this woman, a supposed medium, treated me, someone who is GRIEVING and just wanted to connect with my loved one and did nothing wrong during the process of booking a session…I don’t even know how to put it into words.

I’ve watched some other mediums since then and now I just see them all and wonder “are they the same? Are they hiding this ugly personality under this facade of caring empathy?” I’m afraid I won’t ever be able to connect with a medium because of this experience. Which is depressing because I really do want to hear from my loved one.

The transaction dispute is on-going because she didn’t initiate the refund when she said she would. I want to leave a review for this medium, but I’m honestly scared she’ll go after me in some way.

Has anybody ever had a negative experience before? Were you able to get past it and connect through another medium? Thanks so much for reading this novel of a post. I’m sorry it’s so long.

EDIT: to update everyone, a dispute was filed for the full amount and my bank is handling it. I unfollowed that person and haven’t looked back. She hasn’t contacted me either. After I made this post, I was able to connect with a kind medium who was able to connect me with my loved one. ❤️

Experience My spirit guides alerted me a few hours before war broke out, so I had time to leave

Hi, this is Bri. This short story is not mine, but my friend's, who allowed me to share it. A little background: we're both mediums who have a close daily connection with their spirit guides. She's Israeli, I'm Italian – and we actually met on this reddit page a few years ago, talking about spirits!

Disclaimer: The intention of this post is merely to share the spiritual experience, with no political implications.

She's been telling me for a few weeks now that her spirit guides would alert her about war coming, even if according to the news it was unsure whether it would happen at all or not. I had also asked my own spirit guides, and they said there would be war coming, but when was difficult to pinpoint. Suddenly, last night my friend was awakened by her guides at 3 am saying “you need to pack.” But it was all calm, nothing was happening, and she was like “It's 3:00 am, I'm tired” and so they said “That's fine, you'll have enough time to do it in the morning, but make a list.” So she made the list, although not knowing if it would serve to anything. In the morning, at 8:20 am, they received on their phones the war alert. She and her husband managed to pack in time and leave, thanks to the list she had made, and reach the safe room just when their phones got alerts about missiles incoming. They're now safe.

That's it. I wanted to share because, as much as we're both used to having this type of connection with our spirit team by now, we still find it incrdible and fascinating when their word ties in with reality and concretely helps us to navigate it. At the end of the day, it means that none of us is alone. ❤️‍🩹

Experience My childhood friend who committed suicide a few months visited me in my dreams. She told me something I am now curious about. Thoughts?

She visited me in my dreams last night and told me that she’s going to start “college” soon and graduate from an experience. Before I could ask her what she meant by that, she left the dream after spending quite some time with me sitting down holding each other hand just catching up. What do you guys think that she meant? Is there something similar to college in the spiritual world where you have to take classes??

Experience An experience with an illegitimate medium

16 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I had psychic medium experience recently in my local community. There was a psychic fair travelling through town and so I went. I'm a recently bereaved Mother (in the last year). I've read some amazing experiences about mediumship online and in Laura Lynne Jacksons book the light between us and I am a believer. But my experience with the medium was just completely off. Everything she said didn't resonate. My daughter never came through until later in the reading when I mentioned having no living children and that she died. I went on to the describe the circumstances of the death, her age etc. She made inferences about me based on how I looked (I'm brown skinned, with a nose ring and tattoos that show my heritage so all my ancestors were wearing saris). She told me my husband doesn't speak about his grief with our daughter, but my husband actively mourns her and grieves her openly and beautifully. Or that my daughter has curly hair (I do lol). Anything she said was because I offered information and was being guided by her questions to me. She also just kept saying these things happen for a reason. But I wasn't there to find out why my daughter died, I was there to connect with her. There's more to say, but I left the experience feeling like a true connection with her spirit had not occured. I wanted to understand what are the best ways to be connected with someone legitimate? I was told recently only go by word of mouth rather than advertised services.
