These are the questions MediumChannel asked during my interview after my reading with them.

MC: Can you describe in detail what it is like when you are having a vision about someone’s future, or explain how it is given to you by your guides?

MM: I once had a psychic reading and the psychic told me that I was a “psychic freak.” This was the psychic’s way of
telling me that I received my information in a variety of different ways. I see, feel, and hear information about a person’s life or deceased relative. It is then up to me to interpret whatever I see, feel, or hear. No pressure! Every reading is different for me. Some readings are more visual, others more feeling based, and still others more audio.

Many times when I am in a session with a person I will see what looks like a movie in my head. Other times, words will simply roll across the screen of my mind. And still other times I may see or hear nothing, but simply have a feeling about something I need to communicate to the person.

When I sit down for a reading I take about 5 seconds to collect myself and then the information starts pouring out of me.

MC: Did your abilities develop naturally, or did you have to really work at it?

MM: This is a gift that I was born with. It is a gift that I will have for the rest of my life, and also one that I am very proud of. So in some senses my abilities did develop naturally.

That said, I believe in pushing myself to be specific and accurate, which does require work. For instance, my aunt was blessed with a wonderful voice and is a very naturally talented singer, but in order to keep her voice in shape she has to practice regularly. Psychic ability is similar. Although, I had a much more natural proclivity I also pushed myself very hard to be specific and accurate.

When I was 19 I began to give readings on a more professional level. At this time I became determined to hone my gift as much as I possibly could. I read everything I could get my hands on about psychic ability, and began meditating regularly. Although I had a natural psychic gift the more I practiced the stronger my abilities became.

MC: Do you recommend any books that are helpful in developing psychic abilities?

MM: There are so many great books on the market today. I think the most important thing is to do what resonates with you. Not every program for psychic development is going to work for every person. If a particular exercise is not working for you, do not try to make it fit, simply find another exercise that you are more comfortable with. There are some people who find meditation immensely helpful, while other people may prefer more hands on exercises for developing their psychic ability. The most important thing to overcome is a sense of doubt. That is why I recommend that people incorporate daily affirmations into any psychic development program.

There were two books that I found helpful. The first is called Opening to Channel and the second is called How to be a Happy Medium. These books, while not overly complicated, helped me immensely.

MC: Why are you doing this work? What motivates you?

MM: I am doing this work because I have to. I was given a gift, and I believe that is my obligation to use that gift to help not only myself and the lives of my clients but also to help society. Every single person on this planet is given certain gifts and abilities, and this happens to be mine. I also believe that there is a real need for genuine psychics and mediums, because there are so many fakes and frauds feeding off of people’s emotions.

MC: How do you suggest that people prepare for a reading with you?

MM: The only thing that I ask is that people keep an open mind. I do not ask that people try to make my information fit, and I take full responsibility if my information is not accurate. I also recommend that people have a pen and paper ready to take notes because I do tend to speak very quickly. It also helps to be able to look at the information that you have received in a session later, because many times I will predict things that will happen several months into the future.

MC: Besides readings, do you do any other work in this area like radio, seminars etc?

MM: I regularly appear on radio shows giving readings or talking about psychic and mediumistic abilities. I also provide lectures on everything from psychic fraud, to developing psychic abilities, to psychic children. I write articles about psychic ability, and work hard to educate people about mediumship.

MC: Do you prefer doing phone readings or in-person readings, and why?

MM: There are benefits and disadvantages to both. In a phone session I am unable to see the client’s facial expressions or reactions to my information. This is a benefit because it lets the client know for certain that there is no other way than psychically that I could have received the information. An in person session can be more useful if a person feels that a phone session is too impersonal. I do not have a strong preference either way as the accuracy is not affected whether or not I read a client in person or on the phone.

MC: Do you have advice for “closet mediums” or people who may have similar gifts but do not understand what is happening to them?

MM: The most important thing I would say to “closet mediums” is that there is nothing bad or dangerous about mediumship or psychic abilities. It is completely natural. It is also not happening to you because you have done something wrong. I do not believe that every person with psychic or mediumistic ability is meant to give psychic readings. That said, it does not mean that you cannot use your intuition to help improve your life.

Also, talk to your guides, they are listening even if you do not get an immediate answer. People are also free to e-mail me anytime, and I work had to respond to each e-mail that I receive.
