A talk with Steven the Medium

“In February, 2010, I visited a medium who looked straight at me and said, “Do you know you have abilities?”

Things started happening. Our doorbell had been broken for several months, and we would hear a computerized voice saying “Install Cover,” anytime someone rang the bell. On the day of my birthday in June, someone rang the doorbell, but instead of hearing the computerized voice, I heard the song “Happy Birthday” playing. I knew immediately it was Spirit. The next day, the computerized voice was back! Countless experiences like that began occurring.  Now that I was open, Spirit could communicate with me.

Shortly after, I completed a sixteen-week mediumship course. I learned so much, and finally received clarification on what was happening to me.  I also sharpened my abilities. The progress felt unreal. I also learned that my grandmother had been an incredible medium. This was something I had never known.

I have been performing professional readings ever since, and it has changed my world. Communicating with Spirit and relaying beautiful messages to people has given me feelings I have never experienced in my life. I plan to continue learning and growing this ability. My life changed in February 2010, and I would not trade anything for this magical new world.”

I am offering a Free Meditation for those who are stressed during the outbreak of Coronavirus.
