Melissa Goerke On the Quest for Human Happiness and Self Improvement

I have sat down for a reading with no less than three mediums this year.  Mediums, as in a person who claims they can speak to the dead.  I think next year I will go back to interview all three of these women because I am fascinated by what they do.  I want to know what led them down this path and is it something they could always do?  Did they get hit by lightning or have some other experience that opened this door?  Each of them very clearly believed that they were communicating with the beyond and I am so fascinated by their ability.  Some days I believe 100% that they are truly getting messages from my deceased loved ones.  Other days I think they have an uncanny ability to read minds.  In any case, the information they have given me has been shockingly accurate, and has sometimes given me goosebumps because it felt so true.

For instance Lisa, a medium who used to work with me, saw my late husband with a boy at his side.  She asked if I had miscarried a child with him.  I told her I had not and she said “he’s telling me that this is his son who passed before birth, and he is so happy to be with him.”  I am one of only three people, including Billy, who is dead, who knows that his previous girlfriend had gotten an abortion without his consent.  It broke his heart and haunted him for all the years after.  No one but the mother, Billy and I knew of this.  So how did Lisa know this?  Either she was really talking to Billy or she read my mind.  The mind reading would be really amazing because i hadn’t thought about the incident in years!  Still I was comforted to think that he had been united with that child that he mourned for in life.

Lynn, whom I met with in November, told me that my grandmother was standing before her with her sisters Mary and Helen at her side.  Not only did she totally nail the names of my grandmother’s sisters, she then went on to inform me that they had both died before my grandma, and were waiting for her when she got there.  Lynn also did the most amazing vocal impression of my father, and used exact phrases he has been known to say.  Very freaky stuff.  While in her presence I did feel a sense of calm, and my brain seemed more quiet than normal.  I felt very at peace and very loved.   I’m not sure if that was due to her energy or because were were being visited from beyond by people who loved me.  Whatever the case, I have to say it was a truly profound experience and I would like to visit her again someday.  It is too soon to say whether any of her “predictions” will come true, but I’ll certainly be keeping my eyes open for any developments.

Most recently I spoke to a woman named Jill who does readings by phone.  All she had was my first name and my work phone number.  She said she walked with my spirit guide for days before we talked, and that she picked up very strongly on my late husband.  Funny aside on that, Billy also showed up in a reading for my mom when she went to see Lynn.  We now joke that he really needs to get an afterlife, LOL.  Anyway,  Jill also seemed very accurate and brought up things about Billy’s childhood that were very true.  She also had a number of observations about me that were very timely.  Her advice really helped me to understand where I’ve been going wrong of late, and I felt so much better after our talk.  She gave me some very concrete actions to take as well as highlighting the direction I should take in 2009.  Her sense of who I am as a person was dead on and it wasn’t because she googled me and read this blog.  The things she said about my skillset were all totally on the money as it relates to my day job and roles I have fulfilled in the past, which I found surprising.  She reminded me about my successes in the corporate arena and really helped me to feel proud of them in a way that I have never experienced.

Of the three people, Jill spoke the least of the dead, but she did get messages from them.  Lynn seemed to be the most accurate; even getting people’s personalities down pat.  All in all, the three women were all very good at what they do.  Still I have no idea how they do it.  If they are really speaking to the dead that would answer so many of my questions about life after death, yet it also opens up a whole new round of questioning.  Such as, why are the dead still hanging around?  How much, if any, influence do they have in our lives?  What do they do when they are not flocking to mediums?  Is my late husband so bored that he needs to show up in the readings of any person who may have ever known me?  Why does my father spend so much time visiting my house? (All three have told me that he does that quite a bit)

If anyone out there is a medium I would love to interview you to find out how you first realized your gift and how it comes to you.  In the meantime I plan to spend some quiet time reflecting on the similar messages I have gotten from each of them and deciding what they mean as I plan for 2009.

Have any of you had any experiences with mediums that you would like to share?  What are your thoughts on how they do what they do?
