Psychic Interview Lucky Number Seven… 993 more to go… …

Growing up a Jehovah’s Witness child living in a haunted house wasn’t an easy for celebrity psychic Belinda Bentley (Vh1, E!), but she turned her fear into a strength and began communicating with spirit, doing psychics readings and has become a trusted Hollywood  sex psychic for five years.

Q: What was your early childhood like?

Honestly, it was terrifying. I lived in a haunted house that had residual energy, poltergeist energy, ghost, spirits you name it, it was there. Late at night you’d hear people splashing in the pool yet no one was in it. Locked doors would open by themselves. I remember a woman hovering over me calling my name. That is when I tried to shut the medium side of me up! I didn’t want to hear it, know about it or deal with it. As a Jehovah’s Witness child I was taught there are no spirits only demons and calling out gods name would help. It never did!

I recall being around six when my aunt told me she was "ready to go," when my family went to say good-bye to her lifeless body in the hospital. She was brain dead. It was peaceful and loving. I respected she was ready, but everyone around me was crying and I didn’t understand why. As an adult I always look back on that experience and I am thankful for it. It was the only time in my childhood seeing a spirit wasn’t scary. At this point in time, I had no idea I was psychic either, but I would warn people about things that was common sense in my mind.

Q: Do you still get scared dealing with spirits?

Not really scared, but I do feel cautious and apprehensive when I feel negative energy. You always want to stay alert in new surroundings. I feel safer with spirits then I do people. People can and will intentionally hurt you. Spirits hurting people intentionally is rare in comparison.

Q: With those kinds of experiences how did you over come your fear to become a celebrity psychic and medium? What can others do to overcome their fears?

When I discovered I was psychic at fifteen years old I’d had enough of being scared. I devoted a lot of time to reading Sylvia Browns books and learning the tarot. I was afraid of the unknown. The more I learned the less afraid I became, but my religious background was deep rooted and old habits die hard. Permanent change happened when I got angry at my fears, because it was paralyzing me and keeping me from moving forward. When you realize you no longer want fear to rule your life is when things change. People are afraid of the unknown. My advice to others is don’t let the unknown stay hidden. Bring it into the light and face your fears. Knowledge really is power!

Q: You mentioned earlier you’d warn people about things, that was "common sense" to you. What kinds of things did you warn about?

My sister was asking my father if she could spend the night at a friends house. I’d interrupted to say, ‘No daddy don’t let her.’ I rambled something about she isn’t going to want to stay and she will come home upset. No one listened. At 11:30pm my sister called crying saying she wanted to come home. I can remember thinking my family was dumb for not listening and they should have known just as well as I did! At the time I was only seven.

Q: How did you become a sex psychic?

I am a regular average psychic. During my readings I’ll look at career, health, situations, events, family, love and relationships, but why stop there? Because of my religious up bringing I noticed people avoided the topic of sex, or treated sex like it was dirty. How can it be dirty when it’s the only reason we exist? We are here because of it! Then in my readings I noticed, people were having career issues, health and romantic issues due to their sexuality. Once I realized that sexual issues can cause problems in every area of our lives I felt it was important to share that with my clients and it grew into being a sex psychic. It can be healing, but it also can be a lot of fun. I don’t censor myself much.

Q: What is your most extraordinary story?

To me it is the experience where I saved a mans life by seeing a heart condition. I was certain it was there even though he had just had a physical. He listened to my words and went back to the Dr. where they found he was dying. They directed him to write his Will and say his good-byes. In my reading I told his wife "there is something you can do about it." Because of those words they got a new doctor and she saw the same thing, but offered a surgery that gave him a 50/50 chance at survival. It saved his life. Had I not seen it and urged his wife to take care of the problem he would have died with-in six month. This story reminds me of the good psychics can do!

Q: How do you deal with skeptics?

I love most skeptics. They are scientist and they know the right questions to ask to get to the bottom of a situation or to get to the truth of the matter. Skeptics don’t assume something is or is not. They just don’t believe in something until they experience them or prove them to be true. Unreasonable skeptic who put down peoples belief systems without any knowledge I don’t deal with ever. They are a skeptic for a reason and I let them be. 

Q: Where can people stay in contact with you and find out about where you will be  in 2010?

My TV shows, radio shows, classes etc… are always updated on my press page. www.belindabentley.com

On my radio show Disturbed Paranormal we cover paranormal topics and give free mini readings and free giveaway contest! Our guest are awesome! A few weeks ago we had on a psychic who channeled the late Anna Nicole Smith. I make announcements telling my listeners where to find me next.

It’s live every Tuesday at 9pm Pacific time: www.blogtalkradio.com/disturbedparanormal/ or www.disturbedparanormal.weebly.com

Today we are very lucky to have Trena Barnes Join us.  From my initial brief communication with Trena, I understand that she teaches psychic development classes which is quite fascinating.  My first look at her website really had me quite impressed.  It is one of the nicest websites I have seen in a long time and very clear and pleasing to the eye.

Q:  Welcome Trena.  Could you tell us how you first became interested in the Psychic Realm?  and then how that led you to actually teaching courses ?

A: First of all, thank you for the compliments Tom.

I’m not completely certain what got me started because I was quite young but I think it might have been a fortunate coincidence. When I was about 10 or so, I found some of my father’s books about UFO’s and other strange phenomena. Even at that young age I found them interesting so I started looking for similar material at the local library. At that time those types of subjects were next to the very small “occult” section so with my voracious appetite for reading it was probably just a natural progression from the Bermuda Triangle to ESP.

As I got older I wanted to learn to do all the interesting things I’d read about. Lots of the books claimed we all had these gifts and I had seen enough evidence around me to know that it was true (my mother told us about a dream she’d had about the death of her Grandmother and when the phone call came on the same day with the news, all we could do was stare in awe) but I had never exhibited any ability.

That changed in 2005 when I took a course on angels. During the course, my skeptic’s mind demanded proof that angels exist so I asked them to tell me something about my spouse that I could verify. I won’t tell you what they said but I heard a voice in my head giving me information loud and clear and when I asked my husband if the information was true, he laughed and told me it was.

That for me was definitive proof that there is much more to our universe than meets the eye. It also proved that psychic abilities exist since we have to access them in order to speak with our angels. I’d never really been psychic before (or so I thought) so we must be able to learn how to use these senses.

From that moment on I lived a very different life, one in which there was amazing magic and peace knowing that we are truly never alone in the universe. It was an incredible comfort to me and I knew that I wanted to help others experience that for themselves.

Along with loving to read, I love to write so I began to write what I think of as an instruction manual for developing your psychic ability and that eventually formed the basis of my classes.

Q: I usually start out my first question seeking to gain some general background information, but since I cheated and looked at your website I noticed that there are four main areas you focus on, namely ThetaHealing, Angel Readings, Mediumship and Reiki.  Perhaps you could tell us a bit about each of these…

A: ThetaHealing is an amazing modality so named because the healer goes into a theta brainwave state to do what amounts to power manifestation. Each of us holds beliefs in our subconscious mind and since our subconscious is actually the majority of who we are, it can create havoc in our life if the beliefs held there are in error. The theta practitioner in doing a healing goes into a theta state to connect with God, Source Energy or Creator who then coaches the practitioner about what is held in the subconscious of the person to be healed. When an erroneous belief is found or Creator notices that information is missing (such as not knowing what it feels like to be loved for example) Creator will change the belief or download the missing information to the person being healed. The practitioner psychically “witnesses” the healing take place and it becomes so.

During a session, muscle testing is used to find beliefs so we can immediately know if change has taken place by re-testing to see if the belief has changed.

Reprogramming ourselves in this way can change your life quickly. Instead of doing affirmations for long periods of time to convince yourself you believe something, Creator can instantly teach you how to and what it feels like to believe it. Both physical and emotional issues can be healed in this way.

Angel readings are similar to psychic readings in that people usually seek them out for information, guidance and clarity, but instead of gathering the information from the energy of the client, I ask the client’s angels for it.

Each of us has angels around us at all times that act as guides. These angels are here to help us with anything we require and want very much to be heard. They are speaking with us at all times. If you have repeated thoughts or synchronistic happenstances in your life chances are that your angels are behind them.

During a reading I connect with your angels allowing you to ask questions and get very specific information in return. My experience with them is that they talk to me psychically in visions and their guidance always makes you feel uplifted and loved.

A mediumship reading is similar to an angel reading except that the goal is for the medium to connect with a deceased friend or relative. Because I have been trained as a spiritualist medium, it is important that during a session, I can establish that the spirit I’m connecting with is who they say they are. I always ask for information from the spirit that my client can verify and the reading does not proceed until my client and I are certain who we are communicating with.

What is different than an angel reading is that we are connecting with beings who are not enlightened. People who have crossed over can be in death very much as they were in life. This is why we ask for verification of identity but it also means that if a spirit doesn’t wish to talk to the medium, there isn’t much the medium can do about it. Some people believe that those who have crossed over recently might not know how to communicate with a medium or are too busy to do so. I believe some spirits are a bit shy as well. Going into a mediumship reading, we must be aware that a connection might not be made.

For many, a mediumship reading can be a very profound experience because it is proof positive that there is life after death. It can be very healing for the client as it is an opportunity for them to make sure their loved one is safe, happy and comfortable. In many cases, connecting with a deceased loved one provides amazing closure that allows the client to move through the grieving process with ease.

Reiki is an energy healing treatment which is similar to acupuncture except that instead of needles being used to move energy in and around the body, the practitioner uses their hands and the energy is channeled. It is thought that the universal life force energy that each of us has within us can build up or block some areas and thus causes disease. During a Reiki treatment, the practitioner uses their hands to manipulate the energy, dissipating the blocks and allowing healing to occur.

Reiki treatments are done with the client lying down on a massage table and are very relaxing and rejuvenating.

All of these services can be done in person or remotely, that is, by phone, email or Skype.

Q:  What type of person would be best suited to your classes on mediumship and psychic development ?  Are there any important requirements before someone signs up?

A: Anyone who is interested in angels, psychic abilities, ghosts, crystals, alternative healing or the paranormal would be suited to my classes whether they think they have ability or not. The classes are fun and filled with laughter which helps dispel commonly felt fears.

There are no requirements specifically for my classes but having an open mind would be helpful. You do not have to believe in everything right away, but the classes are a great way to open the door to a world you didn’t know existed. Just about everyone I’ve taught has had some kind of eye-opening experience that is proof positive of the reality of this stuff. Our angels are especially great at giving us proof of their existence in the physical world.

Previous ability isn’t necessary either. As I’ve said before, we can all do this. Most people find that they’ve actually been using their abilities all their lives and didn’t realize it.

Q:  How long does it usually take someone to learn the skills you teach?  Is there a time frame which they should plan for or does it really depend on each individual ?

A: Everyone will be using their abilities by the end of the very first class. Trusting that they are using their abilities takes a little longer. As I said, most people realize right away that they’ve been using their psychic senses all their lives but didn’t know it. I think this is because movies, t.v., books and even other psychics have portrayed that these abilities are gifts given to special people only and that they are difficult to learn and use. This is hooey! In reality, being psychic is easy, fun and natural.

Trust is important because when you first start using your psychic ability, it seems like you are making it up, or it is your imagination. Some people are really afraid of doing this work and that can make their ability shut down as will trying too hard.

Practice takes care of most of these. Over time, you will receive validation of your ability by experience or by using your new skills with someone else. That helps immensely with trust. When you become confident at what you are doing, fear also becomes less of a problem.

The best part about all of this is that very little practice seems to go a long way. These abilities are rather like a muscle. Work them out regularly and they become strong and reliable quickly.

Q:  I already mentioned that you have a really nice looking website (and maybe a newsletter as well ?).  Tell us about it and how people might contact you?

A: My website is located at www.treeoftranquility.ca There you can find more information about the services I offer plus courses and articles about developing your psychic skills. I also publish a monthly email newsletter. If you are interested in receiving it please send me an email at info@treeoftranquility.ca If you prefer to call, I’m located in Calgary, Canada and my number is (403)519-8030.

Thank you so much for the opportunity to connect with you and your readers Tom.

I wish you all angel blessings!

Thanks for joining us today!  Wishing you all the best from Psychic4u.net and beyond…

Today we are lucky enough to have Maureen Holleran answer a few questions in what will be psychic4u’s fifth online textual interview.  And we have 995 more to go… Please do contact us if you would like to participate as well.

Maureen has an interesting background and has a lot to offer in the psychic realm.  So I am just going to jump straight into a few questions for her and get psychic interview number 5 kick started!

Maureen thank you for joining us today.

Perhaps you could tell us a little background and how you first got involved in the psychic realm and how it all got started?  How long have you been helping others with your psychic abilities?  What type of psychic abilities or specialties do you have or feel you can best help others with? 

Often the question regarding when did I first recognize my psychic ability? It is about my painful journey opposed to psychics whereas their family supported and respected the pursuit of intuitive knowledge. Here is my story…

Around the age of five, already manifesting within myself Psycho Kinesics (PK) which is defined by the phrase “mind over matter”.

Growing up in a large wealthy family, which was often clouded by the material world, proved to be a difficult obstacle for me to overcome. I was labeled strange, different and of course crazy. Many years of poor choices and hard lessons to enable me to admit that I was not following my true path marked the beginning of my journey.

I was in my middle 20’s when I took part in various PK studies. UCLA, parapsychology department known for PK research proved to be very rewarding.

My professional background of 23 years experience has proved to be feasible and above all advantageous to clients such as Disney and Fortune 500 executives as well as professional heavy weight boxers.

I maintain a remarkable degree of objectivity – with focus in the following:

Relationships, Business/Finance Ventures, Past lives, and good old fashion spiritual development. I am able to connect with past loved ones when necessary for the situation.

Clairaudient – Intuitive, Clairvoyant – Visionary, Clairsentient – Feeler and Prophetic * I utilize many tools to receive psychic impressions, visions, feelings above all the ability to see beyond the range of vision.

I noticed on your website that you have some knowledge in the area of Tarot Cards or Tarot Readings.  Can you explain how this works for someone who is completely new to it and how might it help someone ?

I am self-taught in every respect – reading and searching for authors became my mentors. I discovered the wealth of knowledge to be gleaned from astrology, numerology and most importantly the Tarot.

The Tarot is a symbolic record of human experience and I found the cards to be a link to my PK ability. The Tarot cards fall into place through movement and energy in ways that were similar to PK. There is a symbiosis between the two disciplines. The Tarot is a rewarding tool and every negative can become a positive.

Are there any important lessons you have learned in giving psychic readings over the years?

My unusual life experiences and vivacious style create a unique ambience for my clients whom enjoy the fascinating, energetic reader that I am. I find my interactions with clients to be just as enriching for me as they are for them. As I mentioned already maintaining objectivity is very important as well as motivated by good intentions.

What would you tell someone who has never received a psychic reading before, is afraid or has doubts about getting a reading and holds back for fear of finding out ‘what they don’t want to know’ ?

I would encourage anyone with concerns as mentioned above to wait until they work through the fear and such before seeking a reading. I found long ago that when an individual by choice seeks counseling – they will get a referral (to see a trusted professional) they make an appointment they have fears about what will come up but they are prepared for such. It is the same when seeking consultation from a *trusted referred intuitive, psychic, light worker and so on) – stay clear from a professional which does not embrace personal power and shows signs of hidden agendas.

Is there anyone in this world to whom you would *not* want to give a psychic reading to ?

Myself and any family members which I am emotionally attached too. **Others which are motivated with testing my insight and do not desire to have an honest reading.

Thank you so much for taking the time to let us get to know you! Tell us how you can be contacted or a link to your website.

Ok, now onto today’s featured interview. Today we are talking with PaganOne.
Thank you PaganOne for joining us today!

Q: Tell us a little bit about how you first became interested in
helping others with your psychic abilities or some general background
on yourself or how it all got started?

A.  I honestly have always been interested in helping others get insight into their personal issues and conflicts.  In college, I began to really study other belief systems and really felt drawn to the Pagan beliefs and the use of energy and magic in order to connect with others and to get myself on a path toward my goals.  I really began to get serious with Tarot when my mom passed away in 2005.  I had been playing with the cards before then, but after her death I really devoted myself to the study of them and began reading for myself to help guide me through that difficult time.

Q. I understand that you like to focus on giving tarot card readings
? If so, tell us how tarot card readings can help find insights into
peoples lives and why you chose to use tarot cards as a tool?

A.  I enjoy Tarot readings as I personally like to have a tool that I can feel and see.  The symbolism in the Tarot card art really drew me to them, as symbolism is truly that of the unconscious which then allows for more insight by bringing that to the forefront and allowing the person receiving the reading to see things they may not have been aware of.  It also tends to make the person put some effort into what they want.  The future is not fixed and there are steps that can be taken to get what we want in life, but it is not always easy. Tarot can be brutally honest, but to those that are open it can be an excellent tool for self growth.

Q. Is there anything that surprises you when you give readings,
perhaps unexpected insights that you were not expecting or prepared
for ?

A.  This has happened many times!  Not only on myself but there have been many cases where a client has wanted to focus on a specific issue but the cards have other ideas in mind.  I tell my clients that if the cards are going in a different direction then that is energy that they need to more focus on at the moment.  Again this goes back to the unconscious level and the cards can really force you to look at the true issues at hand that we all sometimes may not want to face but if we want to make progress we have to.  This can be a difficult thing to tell a client, but I have to be honest with what the cards are telling me and convey that to my clients.

Q. Do you feel that the use of tarot cards is the best way to gain
insights into helping others? Do most psychics use tarot cards? And
if not why?

A.  I would never say that one way or one tool is the best.  I prefer them as my tool and have found that they work the best for me and I can make the best connections with them for my clients.  Many psychics use Tarot cards and some do not.  It really is a matter of personal preference as to what each psychic uses and what tool they feel provides the most accurate results for their clients.

Q. If someone has never had a tarot card reading before, what reason
would you give them as to why they should get one right now ?

A.  For anyone wanting a reading or if they are just looking for some insight into an issue or general feeling about the things going on around them, Tarot can provide an excellent source for that.  Not only do they get an idea of the energy around them, the cards are something visible that the client can see and take some of their own ideas from.  Sometimes having something to see can really make the reading more clear and create a feeling of introspection that you may not get from other sources or tools.

Q. Is there anything else you would like to add or say about yourself
or how you feel you can best help people? Also, tell us how people
can contact you or if you have a website they can visit to find out
more.

A.  I truly enjoy reading for my clients and helping them to not only reach their goals but also to be more confident in themselves and trusting of their own instincts.  I abide by high ethical standards and will never tell a client what they want to hear, but will tell them the truth be it positive or negative.  If there is negative energy or a situation that the client needs to move away from, I will do my utmost to help them navigate that situation for the best possible outcome.

I am a member of the American Tarot Association and am in a constant state of learning.  I feel that we all should be seeking further knowledge and if I am going to be asking of my clients to look inside of themselves to make changes, then I should be willing to do the same!

I provide readings through various sources, all of which can be found on my website: www.paganonetarot.com.  I encourage all clients or prospective clients to visit and read about me, or any person they will be contacting to seek advice from.  My email is open for consultation if you are not sure what reading option is the best for you and I will be happy to help you decide that.  Just drop me a line at paganone@paganonetarot.com!

Thank you PaganOne for taking the time to participate in the Psychic4u.net 1000 Interviews Challenge !

Your very welcome   I am glad I could participate.

Gabriela Castillo "Gabi" is a sexy, red headed, ball of energy! This healer transforms the lives of those who come in contact with her. She is also known as a good "luck charm", because after spending a few minutes with her people see their "luck" change for the better. Good things start to happen and right now, we can all use a bit of luck!

Please explain what it is you do.
My name is Gabriela Castillo and I am an energetic healer with psychic/empathic/medium abilities.  My sessions are 45 minutes long.  Thirty minutes of healing work and a 15 minute debrief on their healing experience.  I work primarily over the phone with both people (adults & children) and animals (domestic & wild). I facilitate positive energy frequencies that help bring transformation and balance to my clients on all levels.  When I facilitate these frequencies part of a client’s "healing experience" maybe me and/or them getting psychic information. I also have medium abilities in speaking with people & animals who have crossed over.  This is part of healing as there may be important messages my client needs to hear to help them transform their lives for the better.

Can you share an extraordinary story with us that you experienced first hand in your healing practice?

This is a human client: I worked with a person who was very ill.  It looked like they could pass on.  I worked with them and within days their condition changed so radically for the positive that the doctors where baffled.  The person who was also in financial difficulty also found employment and things greatly improved for them.

This is an animal client: I worked with a horse who was born with feet that bled.  The owner did not believe in what I do but this was a last attempt to not euthanize the horse.  It is a very painful condition.  The horse could barely walk much less stand.  It was in so much pain that the it was aggressive to almost every living thing that came near them.  During the first session the horse made VERY strange and radical movements for a horse.  The owner and trainer could hear chiropractic adjustments happening. The owner being connected to the horse felt her Rheumatoid Arthritis go away as well as tingling in her entire body.  The horses feet stopped bleeding, calluses formed, it’s personality completely changed to sweet and loving. The horse was walking well, medications where also more than cut in half and at one point were no longer needed.

Can you tell us some other problems, illness and aliments people contact you about?

People come to me for help with challenges such as emotional issues which includes depressions, addictions, bipolar disorder etc, chronic diseases, injuries, chronic pain, difficulty with personal relationships, needing guidance with career and work issues.  Another aspect of my practice is when people work with me their own psychic gifts "wake up" and they find themselves perceiving more than they ever have than with just their "normal senses.

Working with animals is similar.  People (owners/trainers) asking me to "fix" the animal companion in their lives.  What they come to see is that human and animal have to work together to shift issues.  What I do goes beyond animal communication and more than just emotional and physical healing.  My work creates transformation in how animals are perceived, communicated with and treated by their human caretakers.  My work also "wakes up" each person’s own gifts to communicate with their animals.  People say that after working with me they were able to effectively communicate with their animals on their own.

In addition to all that I have also helped with "healing" paranormal disturbances.  I see everything as a lesson.  If a person or family is having trouble with ghosts there is something to be learned there and yes, it is an unusual lesson but there non the less.  I have effectively help people in this way as well.

You mentioned getting psychic information, are you psychic?
Yes, but in the terms of my healing practice.  I never know what I am going to get.  Sometimes I get tons of psychic information and other times it is more about the energy healing.  It’s about what each person/animal needs for their transformation and healing.  That’s not something I control…something bigger than me is at the helm!

What is that biggest goal you have with your healing/psychic work?
First, is to get energetic healing/psychic work as a "normal" part of everyone’s healthcare. Second, by doing this it will allow people to see how we are all connected-all species and the planet itself and that things can be done differently so that business, governments, people prosper but not at the expense of all other life on the planet which includes the planet its self.

Can you give our Psychic 4 U readers advice on how they can learn to become healers too?
That’s a complicated question.  First, find a healer/psychic to work with who is credible!  As with any profession there are those more talented than others so choose wisely.  Second, working with a healer will open you up to the possibilities of how your gifts can work for you in what you love to do.  Not everyone is meant to be a healer like me but if you learn how to use your psychic gifts (and all people have them to varying degrees) you can help make your life better as well as that of every person/animal you encounter.  The first healer/psychic should be able to guide you in this.  It’s exactly what I do for my clients.

Where can people find out more about you?
They can find out more about me at www.GabrielaCastillo.com or my radio show: Animal Matters at http://www.blogtalkradio.com

We are on a role here at Psychic4u !  Today we are please to include our second interview with a psychic and are glad that Melissa Becelar was able to answer a few questions.

Before I begin, I would like to say that I used to have a pet cat named Juniper.  He was 18 and died last year in the spring time.  Unfortunately he got a small cancerous tumor on his tongue and it got so bad to the point where he could not really eat any food correctly so it was not right to let him suffer anymore.  He was a really good cat though.

I will never forget that last walk he took out the front door.  I must have let him out that front door 100,000 times. He would always go through the same routine.  He would walk to the end of the stone covered path and then stop and pause at the driveway.  Then he had to decide if he wanted to walk into the woods towards the right or stay left and go into the garden and backyard.  This time he chose the garden and the backyard.  I watched him walk towards the garden and then he stopped and turned to the right only briefly.  He was looking towards the area in the garden that I had dug out for his burial place.  It was almost as if he knew what was going to happen later on that day.  Till this day that image of him walking out the door and on that path will forever be etched in my mind.  It is like two roads diverged in the wood and he took the one less traveled by.  That was the choice he made every day.

I can honestly say that he really was my best friend.  And I think many people feel that way about their pets as well.  Pets are a unique gift and have the same magic as any other life form on this great earth.  They embody everything the universe had when it was first being created from a tiny spec of dust and so they are our brothers and sisters as well as good friends.

And now, onto our interview with Mellissa…

1. I know you’re an animal communicator what else do you do?

I am an actress, model, producer, super hero and business owner. I own two companies The Network Studio and The Actors Source. They help actors across the world meet with people that can hire them for film and TV.  I am looking for another job if you know of any openings!  Kidding…

2. If you’re an actress and business owner what made you decided to become an animal psychic? Was there anything specific or significant that happened?

I don’t really think I decided to become an animal communicator. It seems to have chosen me. I was on this radio where I was talking about my eight dogs and educating people on adopting dogs as opposed to buying them. 1 millions of dogs die each year because they are homeless. My mission is to make people aware of this, it wasn’t to read animals! The host said let’s take a few calls and read their animals. Stunned, shocked and nervous I said “OK.” I didn’t know what I was doing, but I was able to accurately read their pet, tell what they looked like and more just from a caller calling in!

Most of my time is spent doing animal rescue work and I am always trying to gain the trust of abused dogs or another creature.  When you are trying to gain the trust of a being who doesn’t understand the language you speak, you need to find other ways to communicate.  I always have been really connected to animals. Many of my friends are psychics and healers and they would always tell me I had gifts but I just thought it was a strong connection.  In the past year or so after that show I started to really work on it.  It’s a huge benefit. It’s like being able to speak another language.

3. Are you an animal communicator, animal psychic or both? What is the difference?

A pet psychic is a person who can see the animals past, potential future or the future of a situation. I use this ability when deciding if a home is fit for a dog. If I get a bad sense or see something traumatic happening I listen to myself and continue looking for a home I feel good about. I guess on occasion I have told a dog I see a juicy steak in their future. They usually love that.  When I communicate with a dog they tell me what is going on, what they want and what they want their owners to know.  That is actually what is funny.  The animal is telling me what they want not what is best for them which gets confusing for their human partners sometimes!  Also, animals tell me things about their humans. Often when an animal is acting out and behaving badly it is because their owner is having an emotional melt-down.  All in all I would say both.

3. What is the strangest animal you have worked with?

I don’t find animals strange.  I find their humans strange a lot of the times.  Animals are instinctual, funny and just do what they want.  Their people are the ones that make me laugh! If I had to pick though, I’d say a snake. It was strange, because I had to do it over the phone I can’t do them in person. They make me a little nervous, but I love them just the same as any other creature.

4. How do you communicate with animals? How does it work?

Every animal is a little different. Some show me pictures and images of what is around.

Most of them let me pick up on their feelings both emotional and physical.  On occasion I will get an animal that talks like a human.  I tend to feel them in my whole body and I often humanize them.  I guess the actress in me takes over.  Sometimes I catch my self flipping my hair back with my head when I am talking to a horse. Things like that.

5. How can my Psychic 4 U readers learn to communicate with animals? Is there an exercise your recommend?

If you get pictures of things or you think you know what your pet is feeling then listen to it. Write it down and you might see a pattern. When he looks at me like this, I feel he is in pain and so on. Then you might see he is limping or walking around less than he usually and you’ll know you picked up on something. Chances are if you have an animal you are already doing it.  Just focus on their energy, close your eyes, be quiet and you will here a little voice saying "SNAUSAGES"…

6.  Are there any TV shows or programs airing featuring you and animals?

I am going to be on “It’s Me or the Dog” with my 8 dogs this season.  You can see me on the commercial if you watch animal planet!  I also have several shows in development and I have a new column in The American Dog Magazine called "Dear Melissa"  I am like a Dear Abby for Doggies.

7. Where can people learn more about who you are and what you do? Is there a website?

I own a lot of websites, but the one that is all about my animal communication is: 

http://www.celebritypetcommunicator.com/

This site will update everyone on the airing of my Animal Planet episode, my interviews like this one on Psychic 4 U, my paranormal radio guest appearances and red carpet charity events that I attend! There will also be a place on my site to donate to animal charities soon. Some of the charities I work with are Animal Acres, West Coast Mastiff Rescue and Best Friends. The other websites I have are just me in bikinis wearing tons of makeup…I am sure no one wants to see those.

I am pleased to announce that today I am posting our first mini psychic interview.  I thought about doing this for a long time but never really got around to it.  If any one else is interested in participating please do contact me at the contact info at the top of the this page.

We are delighted to have Barb Powell do our first psychic interview here at Psychic4u.net and are glad that Barb was able to give us some of her time from her busy schedule.

Hello Barb, welcome to Psychic4u.net !
**  Thank you!

Q:   Could you start by giving us a little background?   When did you first know you were psychic ?  How did it all start?
A:  I always knew I was ‘different’.  I was labeled the weird one in grade school and high school.  I was a very shy child and would zone out in school.  I enjoyed spending time on my own in the woods, talking to spirit or my imaginary ‘friends’ as my family liked to call them.  It wasn’t until I was in my early 20’s that I began to understand what the word psychic meant.  I had always thought that life was about work…going to school, getting a job, getting married and having children.  I began to do some research and discovered a whole new world is out there.  One that I could easily relate to what the books were saying to me.  I knew the name of what it’s called to see colors around people and other living objects.  That other people do see those who have died.  I felt empowered in that I wasn’t as different as the people who I called my peers thought I was.  I understood that I didn’t have to make myself fit into a mold that wasn’t me.  I was a psychic medium, one who could see things that most can not.  I allowed myself to be me and it opened up an entire world that I tried to keep covered.  This discovery set me on a journey of changing my entire life path.  A path where I made certain changes in my life to be authentic to myself.  I allowed myself to be who I actually was, not want I thought others wanted me to be.  I started on the path of becoming a professional psychic medium.

Q:  I see you do Television shows. When shows seek you out what do they want you to do? What is your specialty?
A:  I am what I like to call a jack of all trades.  I do a lot of things in the paranormal world.  I’m a paranormal investigator, where certain local teams seek me out to come to their ‘investigations’ for me to see what I can pick up from the place of business or private home.  I have even been called out to farms where there have been cases of animal mutilation of unexplained phenomena.  I have worked on certain criminal and not so criminal cases of the missing, missing people and animals.  I also have worked on cold case files with detectives and police that seek my skills.  There has never been a time where I have contacted the authorities myself to relay information that I may get by watching the news or reading the papers.  There are certain rules with the work I do in order to keep myself physically and mentally healthy, a person can only do so much.  Of course I do workshops, seminars and other speaking engagements and also perform psychic medium readings in my home office or via the telephone all over the world.  When I am contacted by television shows it all depends on what the show is about.  But mainly I am myself and use my skills to the best of my ability.

Q: In your everyday readings is there an area that you specialize in and feel that you can help people the most ?  For example love and relationships,  career and finances…
A:  In my everyday readings I like to think my specialty is helping people discover the path they were meant to walk on.  There are way too many people who are feeling stuck in life.  They are not sure if they are in the correct relationship, they doubt themselves, they are not happy and they are in a never ending cycle.  I like to dig deep within them to discover what is working for them and what is not working for them.  I think knowledge is power and by knowing certain things about ourselves and our past it helps us to make changes.  Validation of what we may already know helps seal those cracks of doubt.  When I do a session I like to look at all areas of a person’s life and unlock the blocks that keep a person from moving on and growing.  In the work I do I have come across everything from conversing with animals to getting inside the thoughts of a serial child abductor.  I tend to forget sometimes how unusual my life is to other people around me, yet to me it’s quite natural.

Q:   Is there a common theme from the people who have sought you out already looking for answers to their questions/problems?  Are they troubled? Happy? Sad?  Confused?
A:  I have not recognized a common theme with people who seek out my services.  I find that when I sit down with someone whether it’s on the telephone or in person I try to be very non judgmental and non emotional.  That way I am not putting any personal spins on anything.  I don’t see the person who is well dressed and appears to have everything together in life, I see a person who is in front of me wanting to hear from their spiritual guides, angels and their future.

Q:   Are there any important traits you feel every psychic should have and if so what are they and why are they important?  Do you feel you have any of these traits ?
A:  I truly believe that an important trait for every psychic is to have integrity and have the knowledge of responsibility.  There are many people in this world who have many different issues.  Some of those issues can lead to reliance on the abilities of psychics and I think that’s wrong.  It can lead to a dependence and thereby not allowing an individual to grow.  There is a difference between giving messages from spirit and telling someone how to live their life.  Spirit does not interfere with the natural spiritual and emotional growth of living person’s pathway.  I practice this trait in every session I do.

Q:  I wonder if you have any general thoughts on the current time we are living in and where we may be going in the future? Lots of people are out of work, and wondering if they will have a job .  It is hard to trust our business leaders and politicians too.  There just seems to be a lot more uncertainty in the 2000’s than at any other time I can remember.  And then there is this talk of 2012 and how it will all ‘end’ near that time frame.  Any thoughts?
A:  Life is life…where there is light there is also dark.  Good things happen as well as bad things happen.  It just depends on how you look at it.  With the economy the way it is, we shouldn’t blame anyone.  What good does that really do.  Perhaps we should stop blaming and actually begin to focus on our lives.  Focus inward, look beyond the negative and rely on where we are going.  It’s easier said than done I understand that totally.  But we all need to start somewhere.  Should we place all our trust and dependence in someone else such as our political leader…no.  Everyone has a job, people make mistakes, we make mistakes.  The main focus should be on moving forward and not continuing to make the same types of mistakes.  The economy will get better, eventually.  We should begin to see a significant change within a 3 – 4 year period.  With 2012 around the corner people fear that the world is ending.  I see it as a chance to make changes with how we live…the way we treat the earth and ourselves.  How can we blame others about the world when we are using and littering plastic and non degradable objects and items.  The food we ingest is not entirely healthy, etc.  Change begins in each of us individually.  When times of tragedy happens in the world we tend to pull together and make a HUGE difference.  Why can’t we start small and change the outcome of certain future economical disaster?

Q:  Do you have a website?  Tell us how people can contact you and find out about other services you provide.
A:  www.barb-powell.com  I always tell people who are seeking my services and have questions of whether or not they can ‘trust’ in the quality of my skills to search my name.  I believe a person needs to listen to their own gut or intuitive feelings and whether or not they have a pull towards a certain someone.  I can also be found on facebook and myspace.  I’m everywhere.

Thank you for letting us get to know you a bit Barb!  Much success and best wishes to you from Psychic4u.net!

This has to be one of the most heart warming stories I have ever heard! A cute cat that roams around a hospital with severely ill patients and then having this special ability hops on their beds not too long before they pass away.

Check out this cat, it sure is mysterious and really sort of confirms the idea that animals seem to have a 6th sense or a psychic sense?

I have a cat and I admit sometimes he does not seem the brightest about things, he does know how to read me, and he also really knows how to get what he wants.

It is clear that animals have a very good sense of smell, it amazes me how my cat is able to pick up scents the second he perks his nose out the window.  But maybe their sense of smell also gives them cues on the health of us humans? hmmm I am not sure.

Surely cats are very sensitive animals very keen to their environment and surroundings.  But can they actually tell when someone is about to die?  I really don’t know, but it seems plausible.

My cat also knows ahead of time when there is about to be a thunderstorm or lightning and he tends to hide under the bed well beforehand… so if he can sense that magnetic energy in the air before a storm, perhaps he can also sense the energy of someone about to pass away.

What a nice heart warming thing this cute little cat does for those ill patients.  Pets surely are one of the greatest gifts we have on this earth!

The didgeridoo (can you say it five times really fast? hehe and by the way isn’t that a cool sounding name for an instrument???) is an ancient aboriginal Australian instrument and perhaps the world’s oldest instrument according to Aboriginal Art Culture and Tourism Australia. Here are a few more interesting observations about this amazing and unique instrument:

1. Possibly the world’s oldest musical instrument
2. A wind instrument originally found in Arnhem Land, Northern Australia.
3. Is made from limbs and tree trunks hollowed out by termites (insects).
4. Is cut to an average length of 1.3 meters and cleaned out with a stick. or hot coals.
5. Was used as an accompaniment to chants and songs.
6. Produces a low-pitch, resonant sound with complex rhythmic patterns.
7. In sure tribal groups only played by men but in most groups by men, women and children.
8. Traditional various forms at the didjeridoo where found in Central Australia around Alice Springs. 
9. The Didgeridoo is the sound of Australia.
10.If the earth had a voice it would be the sound of the Didgeridoo.

I just got done listening to a sample of what a didgeridoo sounds like courtesy Astarius, a psychic healer and Didgeridoo expert artist and musician.  You can listen to the same sample I did, check it out below and click on the word ‘play now’:

[display_podcast]

It really is one of the most interesting sounds and musical instrument I have ever heard. Apparently the instrument has some built in healing power because of the frequency of the sounds that it produces.  We are talking low frequency sound that you hear and actual vibrations that you can feel if the end of the didgeridoo is placed close to the body.

So anyway, to me it seems like the perfect instrument and tool of the psychic healer.  A great instrument to use in combination with psychic healing powers.

On Astarius’s sound healing page he writes:

Sound is the primordial first cause of Creation. The Didgeridoo is a musical instrument of the Dreamtime and came into being through Tribal Aborigines. The Didgeridoo is played through circular breathing. Inhalation and exhalation are simultaneous, so the sound is continuous, echoing the Endless nature of Eternity.

Astarius also does Psychic readings in addition to the beautiful didgeridoo music he creates. Fascinating, and amazing!
