I have always been a firm believer in psychics and the work they do; I have had positive and negative experiences, but my acceptance and understanding, remains steadfast.  As someone who suffered from a Near Death Experience (NDE), a few years ago; I understand there is life after death.  My NDE took me to a wondrous place, full of colour and memories; I felt free, at peace, with a great feeling of relief. I came back from this occurrence, learning from the messages I received.  After such a traumatic incident, I sought answers, from what I had just been witness too.  I was of course given a scientific explanation by the Hospital, I was recovering in, but I also spoke to other, less orthodox, less conventional people, who seemed to give me the answers I was looking for.

My first encounter with a Psychic was in the year 2000.  At the time, I was running my own business in Salisbury, Wiltshire and was at a low ebb.  I felt stuck in a rut, unable to move forwards.  A friend of mine, who was working for me at the time, suggested I go and see a lady called Terri Day, she was an internationally renowned jewellery reader.  I spent about an hour with Terri, at her home; providing her with a gold ring; she clasped it in her hand and went into a kind of trance.  Much of what she said was very true.  I still have the recording of the reading and when I listen to it, on occasion, I am actually struck, with how much she new then, about my life now, seventeen years later; I was less impressed in 2000, than I am today.  Time eventually shows us, the way towards a better future, a future, that Terri pin pointed very accurately.

I had several other readings done from people, who were probably not psychic at all; these were impostors, who were there to make a quick buck.  You have to understand that, individuals like myself, usually only seek solace, from a psychic, at times when we are more vulnerable, when we are feeling down or have lost a relative or friend; a charlatan knows this, and will take advantage.  A lot of psychics are nothing but, they are just very intuitive and a fantastic reader of people, their emotions and body language; they observe your character and do not have the abilities they claim.

In 2009 I went to see famous female celebrity psychic, at the Mayflower Theatre in Southampton.  I had always watched her on television, and was wowed by her alleged abilities. I felt sure, seeing her on stage, would be an unforgettable experience.  With high hopes, myself and my partner settled down to watch her show. I can't explain, how disappointed I felt with what I was witnessing.  Without wanting to libel anyone, I felt that the whole show, had been a fraud; feeling totally  duped, by the end of this spectacle. This was not the woman I had seen on television, this was a poor imitation, if you like.  She had done, what no one else had, made me feel sceptical about something I had believed in all my life.  I was disenchanted and felt let down, by a personality, I had trusted to be true and honest; incredulous, I left disappointed!

I remained anti psychic for many years after this, even refusing to practice Palmistry, a passion of mine.  That was until the NDE changed my whole outlook on life. I knew at that point, it was time to believe again.  Looking down at oneself, laying lifeless, was a game changer.  I still remain unable to fully explain an encounter, with destiny, that I assumed impossible.  I understand, what I viewed was rare and unlikely to ever happen again, but it did occur, and I recall the details precisely. This encounter will never leave my thoughts and will always be a reminder of what there is to come.  For me at least, death is no longer a scary thing.  In the past, I have been asked, if this was a religious experience; after thinking for a moment, I answered in the best way I could,  It certainly wasn't religious, in the sense of meeting God, it was more spiritual, feeling content with oneself and at one with  the Universe.  even today, I can't say I believe in God, but I do believe in an afterlife.

In 2015, the psychic from hell came into my life, during a time of illness. As I have said already, a 'fake psychic', will show themselves, at a time when you are most vulnerable and receptive to their charms. She used her Oxfam connection with me, to enter my life, as someone, who could help me get through, a particularly difficult time. A person, who was a work colleague, who I trusted, suddenly admitted she, could converse with the dead; due to our bond, I believed her, hook line and sinker; after all I had no reason to doubt her motives.  

She wasn't who  she  seemed, she was harmful, without remorse. She became visible and valuable, at a disturbing time for me and had researched what she had to, in order to gain my trust and believe in her.  Trusting her, was all she needed, to stop me from challenging the same organisation, we both worked for.  She was employed by my superiors, to break my will, confusing my head with platitudes and empty promises. I believed her every word, right until the end, when I discovered her motives were not what she claimed; they were worrying and callous, a means to an end for her.  She was not a psychic, she was an impersonator, fraudster, a fake. Only when I started to recover from my assailable state, did I finally challenge who she was and thank God I did. She will have to answer for her actions in the future, Karma is a great thing and one day it will come back to bite her good and hard.  I have thought about publicly exposing her  and have tried, on several occasions, but as I know now, she has no conscience; there are other ways to confront her misdeeds. There are those, who will defy, denounce and investigate her; better people than I. When you are faced with a fraudster, report them to the relevant authorities, let them deal with this person.  When I tried, I was threatened, as she did her best, to discredit me; when others throw down the gauntlet and question her, she wont be so lucky; time will eventually heal my wounds!

I have met other psychics since this time and remain committed to those who have real abilities in helping others.  One should never judge others, on the crimes of a few: not everyone is tarred with the same brush.  In any vocation or cause, there are those that are good and others that are bad.  I had my problems with Oxfam, still do, but not everyone who works for them are terrible, self serving, heinous or deficient.  I have come up against some poisonous people, especially in recent years, but I still believe that most in this world are good and true.  If you are thinking about employing the services of a psychic, I would suggest you follow a few simple rules. Firstly, do your reseach, make sure this person is who they say they are; Google them, investigate online. Secondly, rely on others for recommendations.  If previous clients have a firm belief and positive experience, then chances are, they are right. Thirdly, always go to their home and not the other way round.  A pretend psychic, with no address, will soon disappear, when they are discovered.  Finally, trust your intuition, if they don't seem bona fide, they probably aren't! 

I have had various connections with true psychics.  These relationships, have been invaluable and played a large part in my life, made me question myself and those around me, as well as giving direction for a better future.  These were the constructive, beneficial and life changing bonds, that are still with me, thankfully. Never walk away from something you don't understand, close your mind or reject a concept, just because your consciousness isn't open to it.  Embrace new thoughts and ideologies, but always be careful, of others, who's false claims, cause harm, hurt and in some cases irreparable damage!
