Chris has always credited Rosemary and her book The Eagle and the Rose for changing his life and starting him on the road of spirituality and mediumship.
It is simply the act of receiving loving and helpful messages from loved ones who have crossed over. All that is needed is a true desire from both sides to communicate. A good medium's role is not to try to convince anyone that life after death exists… they simply should be the best channel they can be and provide you with all the information they receive from those who have crossed over… then you take all that information and come to your own conclusions.
The time leading up to your reading with me can be filled with an abundance of different emotions such as: Expectations, Nervousness, Happiness, Fear of the unknown, Is this real or isn't it? All these feelings are part of the process.
Most people come to a session with a particular goal of who they want to hear from and even what should be said by their loved one to prove that this is real.... WARNING: You are setting yourself up for a big DISAPPOINTMENT!! I doubt you could put words in your loved one's mouth while they were alive physically, don't think you can do it now because they have crossed over.
It is vital that you come to a reading without heightened expectations but rather remain open to any and all that should decide to come through and make contact with you. As a client your role is to be prepared as much as possible for your reading. Know your family, the names of those who have passed over and what physical conditions lead to their passing. Please keep in mind that in-laws, and ex-in-laws are still family and may decide to make themselves known throughout the course of your reading.
Always keep a healthy skepticism about what is happening and what is being told to you. NEVER make it fit. But realize that someone you least expect may and probably will make an appearance… that is just the way it is. Just because you never met your grandfather don't assume he won't come through.
If you were coming with a PROVE IT TO ME attitude, you would be best to stay at home. I cannot change anyone's mind, nor do I wish to… you would be wasting your time and mine. I have nothing to prove.
Only answer with 'yes' or ' no' when the information is being given to you or something is asked of you. Do not elaborate, but please acknowledge the information that is coming through when it makes sense to you. Always and without exception the more you understand and can acknowledge, the stronger my connection becomes with your loved ones.
If any medium promises you the world or guarantees that you will receive communication from any one person in particular… I strongly encourage you to turn and run as fast as you can back to your car. In life there are no guarantees and when working with spirit that rule still applies. My experiences have shown when there is a genuine need those needed usually come through.
By watching John Edward's 'Crossing Over' and James Van Praagh on 'Beyond' or Rosemary Altea, you will gain a better understanding of what a medium does.
