The Psychic
Medium Who Got Ten Times More Positive Reviews Than Over 400 Psychics
& Mediums—Cheryl Anne McGill NEW!
by Bob Olson, Editor
I am
honored with the privilege to tell you about a psychic
medium whom I know you are going to love. Her name is Cheryl Anne McGill.
And there is an interesting story about how I discovered this latest
addition to my personal list of recommended psychic mediums, otherwise
known as my “Genuine & Legitimate Psychic Mediums” list. It’s a
story that says a lot about the character of this woman who is so
extraordinarily gifted.
I first became aware of Cheryl Anne a little over a year ago when she was
approved for my online resource called BestPsychicDirectory.com (which is
not the same as my BestPsychicMEDIUMS.com resource). Although this new
directory was NOT intended to list the psychic mediums whom I PERSONALLY
recommend (like the website you are on now), I founded that directory so
that the public could leave reviews about the psychic mediums who gave
them THEIR best readings.

If Angels Could
Guide Us Directly, Psychic Medium Jennifer Farmer Reveals What They’d
Say
by Bob Olson, Editor
If you are new to my websites, you might not know that I was once a
steadfast skeptic when it came to psychics and mediums. I was skeptical
about pretty much anything related to the paranormal. I certainly didn’t
believe that anyone had the ability to read our energy, as psychics claim.
And, like most people ten years ago, I had no idea that anyone even
claimed to communicate with spirits. It wasn’t until 1999 that I
stumbled upon my first psychic medium and my entire world changed.

Stillborn and
Stillhere
by Diana Gardner-Williams
We arrived at our favorite mountain cabin Christmas Eve 2003. This particular accommodation provides a kitchenette, loft, cable TV, and indoor Jacuzzi tub. The back deck overlooks a steep, wooded hill with a pleasantly loud, rushing creek barely visible through the trees. The evergreen shrubs flanking the entrance of the cabin were twinkling with multicolor lights and a holiday mug filled with candy was centered on our kitchen table welcoming us. Since we usually spent Christmas with our family, we were unaware of the charming decorations provided by the owners at this time of year. So why are we here? The fact that our beautiful baby boy was born quiet and still has brought us to the cabin in the mountains. This is where we would spend our first Christmas without our baby.

____________________ Spiritual Awakening
and the Near-death Experience
by Dr. Stephen Ruppenthal
When the mind closes down and the senses are stilled, mystics describe the
sudden effulgence of pure light illuminating consciousness, accompanied by
a flood of joy. After this experience, called enlightenment, illumination,
or oneness with the Divine, people feel a happiness so unlike and above
any other that they try to reach out to those still in the darkness we
call everyday life. But enlightenment is not just for the saints, yogis
and lamas who achieve it. It can come to any of us at any time-- at the
time of death, in a deep and life-changing dream, or in a supreme
awakening in meditation. And it is within the reach of us all. We have
only to want it and ask for it. As Hamlet says, “The readiness is
all.”

Finding a Happy “Medium”--
One Teen’s Quest for Spirituality in Modern America
by Philip Devitt
When my parents were my age, talking horses, nose-twitching witches and
belly-baring genies were all the rage on television. The networks were
brimming with supernatural-themed programs. “Casper” showed the nation
that ghosts could be friendly. “The Twilight Zone” demonstrated their
darker side. And “The Ghost & Mrs. Muir” proved that they could be
just plain annoying. It seemed that nearly every time a mortal communed
with the great beyond, it was a formula for success.

My Mom: When A Medium Loses a Loved One
by Rita Berkowitz
This time, it was my mother lying there in the hospital bed getting ready
to make her transition. But, I am a medium, so why am I so sad. I knew
about the higher side of life. I knew that she would be going to a better
place, free of pain. Yet my pain was excruciating. I was still aware of my
abilities to see both sides of life. I found myself truly experiencing a
cross between grief and the curiosity of wanting to see what would
actually happen as my own loved one, my mother, made her transition to the
Higher Side of life.

Stories Of Reincarnation
by Jenny Smedley
What does reincarnation mean? There are many belief systems based around
the theory that when our physical bodies die, our souls do not end, or go
to be judged by a harsh God, but that instead we are reborn in another
body, to learn more lessons. Jesus did endorse this belief. ‘Souls are
poured from one into another of different kinds of bodies of the world’
(Jesus – Gnostics. The Gnostics are scriptures that were unearthed
accidentally in 1945 by a peasant digging for fertilizer at a place in the
Egyptian desert called Nag Hammadi. There were fifty-two separate text
written in Coptic, an ancient language translated from the Greek, some of
which may have been composed a generation before the first gospel was
authored in AD 70.)

Article ____________________ The Out-of-Body Experience
by David Lindsay
Numerous surveys and anecdotal studies
report that people all over the world are having lucid experiences outside
their physical bodies. The out-of-body experience, also known as astral
travel or astral projection, is a natural phenomenon that everyone
experiences nightly during sleep, although very few ever become aware of
it. Despite being so little understood, it offers unrivalled potential as
a vehicle for us to obtain answers to fundamental existential questions
such as: what happens when we die, what is our purpose in life, and what
is the meaning of existence?

Dear
Laura,
My lover died a little over two years ago. I would be ok with never dating
again because I am still so in love with E., however, to get my children
and my friends off my back about "going on with my life" I
agreed to go out with R. R. is like the perfect mate (for someone else)
and he is aware that I will never love him because of E. I apologize to E.
daily for cheating on him. R. is getting extremely attached and I don't
want to break his heart. Now what?? How do I break it off with R., or
should I? If I do, I go back to harassment about "getting over"
E. Quite frankly, I enjoy the sex with R. and I can tolerate his presence
on a limited basis. I am perfectly aware that I am using him (I go through
guilt about that daily). Bottom line - Use R., make him happy, my family
satisfied or go back to living for the dead? Both options seem wrong.

Reincarnating
Pets
by Nedda Wittels
It is always sad when a beloved animal family member leaves their body and
goes into spirit. We call this death, but truly, no one dies. The physical
body drops away as the spirit separates from it and goes into another
dimension. The spirit is the being that we truly love, although we may be
attached to the physical aspect that we associated with that being. Since
we are still in physical, we often miss the sight, touch and smell of our
friend and we grieve this loss, which is appropriate.

What Really Happened
by Janis Amatuzio, M.D.
In my practice as a forensic pathologist and County Coroner, my job is to
explain a death, “What Happened” to family members, police, and the
courts when necessary. To arrive at the truth, I teach my death
investigators the distinction between making observations as opposed to
rushing to judgment. “Things are not always as they seem,” I
say. “Gather information, document the scene, follow the guidelines, and
trust that you will arrive at the truth.”

The Reincarnation Of Paul
Gauguin?
by Michelle Moshay
Peter Teekamp is an artist and near-death experiencer living in Washington
state who accidentally discovered a drawing that might be worth millions
of dollars. He believes the drawing to be an original artwork by the
famous 19th century post-impressionist artist Paul Gauguin. He discovered
the drawing hanging on the wall of a restaurant which he visited by pure
chance. Coincidentally, Teekamp happened to be writing a book about
Gauguin at the time. Having studied Gauguin for many years, Teekamp knew a
Gauguin when he saw one. Eventually he bought the drawing from its owner
for $5,000. After further examination and an ugly court battle with its
previous owner, Teekamp gathered evidence to support the claim that it is
indeed an original Gauguin. Forensic experts are needed to prove the age
of the drawing and examine the evidence.

The Power Of The Words We Use
by Keith Zang
The spoken word is a form of energy that can be very powerful. This power
can be used for the good of all, the detriment of many, or as useless
background noise that is barely heard. Often times the words we use in
interacting with others holds more power than we realize. It is important
when interacting with others, especially if we are on a spiritual path, to
focus our energies on creating positive words to help encourage others, or
as helpful advice to aid in healing emotional traumas. In doing so we will
help to spread a positive ness that can have a much greater impact on
others than we initially perceive. Such a situation occurred with me,
who's impact stretched through years, eventually reconnecting to the
spiritual realms.

When Family Members Are Reacting
Differently To The Loss Of Your Pet
by Susan Dunn
The loss of a family companion animal is difficult, and my heart goes out
to you. We come to love our animals and feel a deep sense of loss when
they die. Some people tell me they’ve felt more grief over the loss of
their dog than of any human being in their life. It’s not always
recognized by others, but those would only be people who have not lost an
animal companion they loved. Or I should say, who loved them. They give us
the unconditional love that helps us thrive.

Good Grief: Seeing Grief As A
Sacred Space, part 2
by Laura Scott
In one of my last articles I wrote on the
subject of grief and loss. I was preparing myself, as if one ever could,
for the loss of my beloved friend. Miraculously, unbelievably, joyously, I
was blessed that he stayed on the earth plane enjoying life through summer
and fall. He left his frail body very recently and made his transition
home to The Other Side. It was a very beautiful and moving journey,
including his transition day when time seemed frozen still. I was so very
blessed to be right by his side for it. I am still in the process of
grieving and acknowledging all the wondrous gifts of shared moments and
lessons that his life brought me. Although a part of me would like to curl
up and take many weeks and months to heal and be still - life just isn't
prepared to let me do that.

The Stages Of Enlightenment: One Man's Belief
by Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor
Many
people have asked me what I know about the stages of enlightenment. My
first answer is that I know nothing; nobody really knows until we
cross-over. But I will share with you my belief.
I believe that we are all energy beams that reach out from
the Source, the light and love of God, like rays of light that reach out
from the sun. When we first leave the Source, we are blank slates, eager
to have experiences that will teach us all there is to know. At first, our
energy is low and dense because we are new and inexperienced. As we have
experiences that teach us universal wisdom, our energy vibration (our
frequency) increases. And slowly, after many lives and many experiences,
our vibration slowly increases so that we work our way back to the
Source—the One with the highest vibration.

Grieving The Loss Of A Loved One
by Kathleen Tucci
When faced with
the task of mourning a treasured loved one, a profound measure of strength
and will takes over. There are so many variables and plethora of
situations involved when it comes to the death of an individual. What is
key in this huge sea of despair and confusion is that physical death is
not the end. That your loved one’s soul still permeates this earth and
is around you in spirit. Many times I hear the phrase spoken; “dead is
dead”. It’s interesting to note that in my line of work, I’ve found
often-time that those individuals who were skeptical and possessed that
analogy of death, are the ones who as spirits, will try the hardest to
communicate to their loved ones still in the physical world.
Why?...because they now realize they are not dead! That life is
eternal and goes on after we leave our physical bodies.

into the cul-de-sac at the end. At the time I didn't thing anything

messages from the spirit world as being mere foolish dreams. Yet it is one
of the easiest ways for deceased loved-ones and spirit-guides to convey
messages to us. In many cases, we will actually see the face or feel the
presence of the spirit visiting us in the dream. And in most cases, they
will provide us with an important message.

A year ago, I entered a world I did not

scientific type, needing proof before I proceed. As a nonbeliever, I
really was not in pursuit of enlightenment in the spiritual fashion. It
was more my style to explore in a playful manner, without expectations but
plenty of hopeful curiosity—a sort of, "There’s got to be more to
life than I’m seeing," attitude. In spite of that, my cynical
"I’m no fool" side always won the argument, and the signs that
lay before me went unnoticed.

When A Loved One Is Lost

is broken when a family member dies. When relationships end, short of
physical death, a deep psychic loss takes place, sometimes more painful
than death.

Death Be Not Feared!
Comforting Insight For The Suffering,
Grieving And Dying
by Bob Olson, OfSpirit.com Editor
I believe that we can alter our life today
simply by learning not to fear death. And by fearing death less we
discover that we live life more! Shakespeare comments on this in Julius
Caesar: “It seems to me most strange that men should fear; seeing that
death, a necessary end, will come when it will come.”

Disappearing Act
by Michael Rawls
He sat there in his room at the Franciscan
Care Center, watching television, Wimbledon doubles with those sisters
tromping their opponents. He was wearing his work shirt and pants, gray in
color, with his name embroidered above the pocket. We walked in, greeted
him and sat down to visit. We discussed things that were happening in our
lives, in the lives of people he knew, things going on in his community.
We asked about his health, and learned what he was going through.

Fire in the Soul: A New Psychology
of Spiritual Optimism
by Joan Borysenko
I had almost finished the
first draft of this chapter late in June 1990 when a tragedy led our
family to ask the age-old question: “Why? If there is any love in this
universe, why do bad things happen?”

Handling Your Fears
by Alina Ruigrok
Fear is a feeling that too often runs our lives. Whether it is fear of
commitment, rejection, failure, death, flying, or any other phobia, it
tends to keep us from living our lives to the fullest. Fear can be handled
rationally and can be controlled if you are willing to work on it and are
motivated enough in controlling it, instead of it controlling you.

Ask Psychic Medium Laura Scott (Issue #4)
by Laura Scott
Dear Laura,
I will be moving out of the state I presently live in soon, however my
house in this state has not sold yet, and my husband has offered to stay
here until it is. My major concern is that I do not feel he will be
joining me when the house sells. For two years we have had problems
since I found out he cheated on me. We are supposedly trying to work
our problems out, but, I get the impression, that he does not really want
to. I'm desperately afraid he will cheat again, and doesn't really
love me at all. I am very confused, and don't know where to turn.
What are your thoughts on this?

My Heart To Yours
by Lyndsey Watson
"Honey, if you die first will you please contact me when you get to
wherever you go next?" About two years ago this question sparked a
lively discussion between me and my late husband, Larkin. Each of us had
our own unique belief system created by our life experiences. We shared
them fully that day and very completely disagreed on the subjects of life
after death and especially of "spirit communication".

___________________ The Game Of Life And Death
by Asoka Selvarajah
It is often said in spiritual teachings
that the world is an illusion, suffering is unreal, and that Good and Evil
are dualistic fantasies. Doubtless, this is all well and good. Yet, how do
we reconcile this with the fact that all of this seems very real indeed to
the vast majority of us?

As Above, So Below
by Alan Seale
My friend Dorothy died on Sunday afternoon after a very long and
challenging illness. When the call came that evening, I heard the news
with such relief. She was finally released from a body that had
presented her with major challenges for most of her 62 years. While sad
that our many years of crazy adventures were really over, I felt such a
lightness in my heart knowing her new-found freedom.

__________________ Seeing Grief As A Sacred
Space, part 1
by Laura Scott, Psychic,
Spiritual Teacher and Channel for Healing
One of my beloved friends is getting ready to leave his body, and
transition to The Other Side. It is a sacred time that permeates the rest
of 'daily life ', and creates a natural space for reflection and sharing.
You see, folks often forget that no psychic or medium is exempt from the
challenges of living life. We don't get a 'pass' card when it comes to
dealing with the tough stuff. Just like your car mechanic can still have
car trouble, your plumber can have bad pipes in their house, or for
that matter, your Doctor—who is neither exempt, nor excused, from any of
life's illnesses or dis-eases. Like all of you, that means when someone I
love prepares to leave the earth plane, I grieve.Click

We Are Eternal: What the Spirits
Tell Me About Life After Death
by Robert Brown
Whether I'm in New Zealand,
Europe, the United States, India, or any country that I have visited,
whenever it comes to the question-and-answer times after my readings, I
can virtually guarantee that one of the first questions I'll be asked is,
"When did you first become aware of spirit? When did you first
realize that you had psychic gifts?" I can guarantee that this is the
same question most mediums are asked. This question is invariably followed
by, "Why you?" Click
