I Talk to Ghosts

I never set out to talk to ghosts or spirits, but like many other things in my life...it just happened.

When I was 17, I went to France to become a teacher of Transcendental Meditation. The course, which was six months long, was being held in Vittel, where Vittel water comes from. The Maharishi had rented all the old hotels in the town, and turned it into TM central. But besides water, Vittel had another history also. During both World Wars, the hotels were used as internment camps and hospitals.

So of course, one night I was sitting on the the bed meditating and heard some noise, and the next thing I knew about twenty Germans in full uniform, marched right through the walls of my room. Well, that kinda scared me. I really didn't want to see anything like that again. And it was to be many more years before I got involved with the dead again.

But then when I started healing and seeing clients several years ago, it started to happen. In the same way that the healing at first came spontaneously, well, the dead started speaking up too. Well, what I mean is more like, departed souls who were loved ones - relatives - friends of clients sometimes come to me with messages during in-person sessions. Often this person's death was abrupt or unexpected and leaves a huge hole in the life of the client, a huge heartbreak.

Its not planned, and I don't promise clients anything like that, but when it's necessary it has happened. And the thing is, its just kinda like a movie, the departed person tells me something that I can't possibly know, and that has a lot of meaning to my client. Sometimes its the name of a dog they had twenty years ago or a favorite book, and me and the client both know, it's not an educated guess, it's the real thing. And the message, while simple, usually means a lot and really helps with the heartbreak or the issue, it helps my client move on.

Sometimes, it actually is a "ghost," what in my experience I call a "stuck soul." It is usually someone, (what we call a ghost) who is having problems letting go and moving on. So I talk to them - to their soul - and the times I have done that, the soul has moved on. Maybe there is some message for the client. But many times there is no client, just the soul - who needs to move on.

Sometimes, I have been asked - hired - to contact someone who has "crossed over," and so far it seems to have worked. I had a client a few years ago, and she wanted me to contact her Grandmother. I did, and within seconds, the Grandmother was telling me to tell her granddaughter to move the bedroom furniture back in the right place. As it turned out, it was her Grandmother's furniture, and she had just rearranged her room, and for some reason the Grandmother didn't like the change.

Then of course there's more serious things like exorcisms, but we won't deal with that now. Just light Halloween stuff like ghosts. For me its all very real, its what my work is and where it takes me.
