Wild Weekend With Wiarton Willie

Recently I traveled to the lovely town of Wiarton to conduct another group event connecting the living with the dead. While there, I thought I’d ask Wiarton Willie what happened to spring?! I didn’t get an answer from him, but as I write this it’s cold, wet and we even had hail this morning… Willie, you got some ‘splaining to do!! (Sic I Love Lucy episode, Ricky to Lucy)

As for the dead folks, they came through in droves… as they always do.This was a more intense group event than usual, as I had women there with breast cancer, fertility/surrogacy issues and one hoping to connect with her son who recently died in a car crash. The woman’s son indeed showed up with so much accuracy even I was stunned, giving her the peace she came for. Messages and answers were also given in the above cases. Spirit talked of family secrets as well as joyful events and helpful future predictions. (I get lots of feedback, even  years after a reading, telling me about the things I’ve predicted coming true. Always wonderful to hear!)

Two of the most amazing things that happened occurred the next day in my second group. The hostess’ deceased husband practically dragged me into their bedroom, where he enthusiastically showed me and his wife where he had been lying in bed next to her (confirmed by shocked wife). Visible for us to see was a huge dent in the covers, not there earlier that morning when she had made the bed. Nice one!

The second spooky, though wonderful event was when the hostess’ crossed over girlfriend, identified accurately by her first name, announced she would close the patio door to prove she was really there with us. Sure enough, said patio door then began to swing all by itself and slammed shut! The girl nearest the door jumped and shouted that she felt a cold breeze and became covered with goosebumps… that was the Spirit brushing past her on the way to the door. Spirit never ceases to amaze me!

It was a wonderful, though tiring weekend, as I got little sleep between events. The reason for this was that unbeknownst to me, the motel I was staying at was haunted by a ghost of local legend. I had been joking before going to Wiarton that I hoped it wouldn’t be like the movie, Psycho’s famed Bates Motel. No shower slasher got me, though sure enough there was a sign posted out front reading, “B A I T S.” Pretty funny, I thought at the time. What wasn’t  funny were all the real ghosts that wandered in and out of my room all night long. A gentleman with a drinking problem, the Indian of legend and an older woman using my bathroom, to name a few. I didn’t want to talk to them, I was trying to get some rest!

Next day, the unusual continued. Amy, my wonderful and gracious hostess came to pick me up for breakfast. She mentioned that she too had had little sleep. When I asked why, she reported that she had been plagued by bad dreams where she was in my room, over my bed, watching someone holding me down. I didn’t know how to break it to her – that was in fact what the ghosts were doing in their attempt to get my attention. What she saw in her dreams was real!

This post is dedicated to my Mom, Gram and Margy, who left the physical world much too soon. Happy Mother’s Day to them and to all of you.

SERIOUSLY HAUNTED HOUSE… SERIOUSLY!

Recently I provided a personal reading in a particularly haunted house. It went something like this: A woman called me after seeing an article recently published about my work in REM (Real Estate Magazine) and REM ONLINE. Visit their website or mine at: http://www.jadeintuitive.ca to peruse article. I arrived, expecting a typical reading appointment with this very nice Real Estate Agent. I got anything but!

After offering me tea, she asked if I’d like to tour the house before commencing the reading, seeing as I’m also an Energy Cleanser. I started in the kitchen, the first place I was “pulled to” and picked up a “Happy Birthday” message and the warning that an apparition stares in through the windows, from time to time. Agent O, as I’ll call her, validated that her birthday and her daughters’ had recently been celebrated. She has also seen a face staring in the window at her… rather unnerving!
As I proceeded upstairs, I picked up everything from health issues with various occupants, (living ones!) to their feelings of being watched, to a Spirit who climbs into bed regularly with the females in the house. Yikes! Agent O confirmed ALL of this and promptly asked me how soon I could perform an energy clearing.

Back downstairs, I focused to be able to connect the woman with her deceased loved ones, while tuning OUT the ghostly occupants of her home. I rarely give readings in such obviously haunted dwellings, so it was a challenge. Earthbounds and Spirit Loved Ones will fight for a Medium’s attention. Happily, two wonderful relatives of hers came through with startlingly accurate messages, names, methods of passing… tears and laughter were shared by all.

I made another appointment to return and clear the energy/ghosts and made to pack up and leave for the evening. But of course, every good ghost story has a twist. The lady of the house asked to show me a treasured photo she had taken of her house, unoccupied, prior to moving in. The picture was taken during day light hours, showing the front, exterior of the 100 year-old house. Clearly visible in the upstairs windows, were the heads and bodies of 4 distinct apparitions, peering out, in striking detail! Is this house haunted? I’d say so… seriously!

BEAUTIFUL MUSIC

This past Friday I had a lovely experience in the subway, and am sharing it for a very special reason. As I approached the Street exit, I was suddenly flooded with the sound of beautiful music, growing louder with each footstep. The music was coming from two talented musicians, including one playing the violin. I stopped to listen because I have a deceased Uncle who was a violin virtuoso and because the music was incredibly soul-stirring. I stood right in front of the duo, noticing that I was the only one to do so and wondering how anyone could NOT stop to take this in.

The next thing I knew I was crying. Not merely due to being moved, but also due to the presence of mothers – mine and the violinist’s, from the Spirit Side. As I stepped forward to drop some money into her case, she acknowledged me with a nod and smile, then asked if she could play me something special. I wanted the song my mom used to play on the piano, but the tune eluded me, so instead, she played The Prayer. As I thanked her, I felt the familiar pull to give her a message from her crossed-over mother, which I did. The message was about love and hope, answering something this musician greatly desired to know. Little did I know, that later that day, this talented violinist would give me a great gift in return.

A few hours later, as I descended the subway stairs in a haze after an upsetting hospital visit, there were the duo, still playing. My new friend, the violinist asked if I remembered my mother’s special song, and this time the melody floated easily to me. She caught the tune and proceeded to play me For Elise by Beethoven. It was both stirring and healing, bringing my mom back to me for a few brief moments… much-needed moments.

As we hugged goodbye, this talented woman asked if she could play me one more song, in thanks for channeling through her own mom. As she started playing she whispered in my ear, “bring this to the people”. I thought the best way was to write about it. Thank you “A, like Audrey Hepburn”!

My Personal Version Of “The Help”

I just saw a fabulous movie, The Help and was moved to write and dedicate today’s blog to my own experience and to the woman who helped raise me, like the main character in the movie. Her name was Margaret, Margy to me, and in so many ways, I owe my life and the woman I’ve become to her.

Margy was our family’s housekeeper. She was also one of the most amazing women I’ve ever had the honour of knowing. My grandparents hired her back when my mom and her brother were little. I owe my life to the fact that they did. She was employed to clean our house, usually once or twice a week and I’m sure when she started the job, she never would have dreamed what an integral part she would play in an as yet unborn little girl’s life… me.

Margy made sure I came into this world safe and sound and if that wasn’t enough, she then loved and looked after me like I was her own. I remember playing cards together, being rocked when I was crying and my favourite activity – playing “Margy swing me”, the game where poor Margy who was attempting to clean the kitchen floor, had to stop to swing me in circles. I erupted in giggles and she never minded. My grandma was always admonishing me not to “get under foot” when Margy was busy tidying the house… and I perfected getting under foot to an art form! How I loved those times with my Margy.

I recall coming home from school one day, where having been teased and prevented from going inside to use the washroom, I had an unfortunate “accident”. I was mortified to go home with soiled underwear and afraid that I’d somehow be in trouble. Margy changed and cleaned me up, (after finding my not-so-well hidden underwear hiding in the hamper under other clothes) then did some laundry so that no one else would know. I don’t think I ever loved her more than at that moment.

Then there was the time I put my foot into a pail of soapy water in a desperate attempt to avoid going to the doctor, a place I loathed. There was Margy to sooth and cajole me into going upstairs, where my mother was waiting, telling me all would be okay.

Margy was also fond of the expression, “time will tell”. When I was older, time told that Margy couldn’t have children of her own, as a result of being pushed down the stairs by her abusive husband. This news greatly angered and saddened me, as the wonderful woman I knew deserved only the best, not a louse of a husband. I know I was the daughter she never had and it was my great good fortune to be so.

My Margy is still with me, but now from The Spirit Side. Sending her gentle, loving energy and the feel of her work-roughened hands in mine, as she twirls me in a game of “Margy swing me”.

On The Spot Predictions – What Can You Tell Me Right Now!?!

The life of a professional psychic medium is certainly never boring! One question I’m asked, practically as soon as people know I’m a medium is, “what can you tell me right now?!” Like other pro psychics, I like to prepare before readings… much like athletes preparing before races. Giving on-the-spot messages is akin to running a world-class sprint, but without the benefit of any warm- up laps. Depending on the situation, I’ll do my best to accomodate this request because what I do is also who I am. And because sometimes I’m called to action without any notice due to the fact that the Spirit World waits for no one!

A recent case in point was a meet and greet held at a prestigious Real Estate Brokerage to discuss my giving a seminar – as a former Real Estate Agent, I give talks, positivity coaching and energy clearings to “my former peeps”. I had been warned by the friend brokering (pun intended!) the introduction to “keep it corporate” and not get into my other stuff. Ie: don’t discuss that I’m also a medium. The first thing the Managing Director said to me was, “you’re the psychic, what can you tell me right now?” Okay, “just be corporate” out the window! Closing my eyes for a moment, I gave her the name of her deceased mother, in answer to what her nickname might be… most of her last name (which I hadn’t been told), that someone in the office was battling breast cancer and some other stuff. When I opened my eyes, mouth agape, her next question was, “How soon can we book you?” 

When I presented a small teaser for about 20 agents, many told me of “strange coincidental circumstances that drew them in to hear me” and several booked reading, clearing and coaching sessions. An assistant manager heading an upcoming breast cancer fundraiser, asked if I wouldn’t mind predicting the weather for the event and keeping it dry, if I could. I told him it would rain some in the morning, then clear up and be sunny for the rest of the day. He then asked, “Will we hit our mark of $10,000”? Pondering that, I replied that they would hit it and in fact, exceed it! Next an agent who was donating his long ponytail for a wig, to be cut off at the event, asked me if one of their own agents or someone from outside would shave him? My answer from The Other Side was that someone outside the company would do the honours.

Post cancer fundraiser, the Manager in charge thanked me for my positivity and correct predictions. The day brought a little rain until noon, then it cleared up and got sunny, they easily exceeded their ten thousand dollar goal and… the gentleman with the pony tail had it removed by the highest bidder – a woman from The Canadian Cancer Society.  Three for three, not bad!

I really do love this unusual, but highly rewarding career. As George Elliot said, “It’s Never Too Late To Be What You Might Have Been.”

SPIRIT HELP – ON THE LIGHTER SIDE

Today’s theme is the lighter side of psychic messages and predictions. For my loyal followers (thank you all!) who may think that spirit help is always of a serious nature, this post is meant to lift spirits… pardon the obvious pun, with true stories of a different sort.

Last evening I attended a lovely intimate dinner party, hosted by two dear friends. Besides great company, fabulous food and wine, there was a psychic theme as well (hey us psychics are FUN guests at parties too!). Our esteemed host is VERY into scrabble, so I suggested a twist on his favourite pasttime – “psychic scrabble”. Spirits like board games too, so as a medium, I thought it would be fun to encorporate the two! Earlier in the day, when the host partook of a little “blackberry scrabble”, he told us of an interesting occurence: his board spelled the name, “Jade”. Since that’s the name I use professionally, ie: JadeIntuitive, it was the spirits’ humorous way of giving a positive sign for the evening. The Other Side sends signs all the time, it’s kind of their trademark. Numerous messages were spelled out, both on the scrabble board and by me directly channeling them, for each guest. The spirits made sure no one was left out. Everything from the name of a deceased grandfather’s beloved dog, to a military relative giving a salute, to a gentleman accurately telling me of his career working the railroad. A delightful night was had by all!

On another occassion, after giving messages to one of my favourite clients, she said she had to ask me just one burning question. Her deceased mom had already provided many accurate details and advice, but here’s what she “just had to know”: how to cook her mom’s famed rice dish! Seems my client and her sister had argued for years on the correct way to make this particular recipe… each remembered it differenty. Mom came through, giving the exact measurements, how many cups of rice, to cups of water etc. Trust a mother to help you make her favourite food just right… even from the spirit realm!

Happy holidays to all, Passover and Easter respectively. Remember to set a place for your “invisible guests”, as crossed over loved ones celebrate holidays with you as well!

LIFE-SAVING PREDICTION

This is how the day started, much like any other work day… I arrived at a new client’s home, where I soon would be performing a Reiki healing for her. Pausing in the driveway, I made a call to set up a business meeting for sometime that week. The CEO told me he was available that day, which was a Monday, or on Thursday. Something (which I often call my spider sense, really it’s my psychic sense… I’m actually a bit arachnophobic, ironically enough) told me to book it for that same day, so I did.

Inside, my Reiki healing went beautifully and I also spent an hour talking with the nice woman, my new client. As a lovely aside to this story, she told me the following week that she never could have conducted a big training seminar without having met with me first. My positivity talks and Reiki often have that “unblocking”, calming effect on people.

I arrived at my second appointment, the previously scheduled meeting. I wouldn’t find out until weeks later, the extraordinary results experienced by the gentleman I met with. This was a first meet and greet where my hope was that this influential CEO would like me enough to refer me to some of his esteemed colleagues. I thought that was my reason for being there, but as usual, the Universe had another agenda! He did indeed endorse me, placing a call right then and there to a business friend, calling me “astonishing to listen to”! The CEO, who I’ll call “Bill”, asked me to demonstrate some of my gifts, so I provided him with a mini Reiki healing and an example of psychometry; I interpreted the energy of a valuable artifact he’d been given, as well as a photo of his grandchild. He was further astonished by the accuracy and details I gave him about both. All in all, I was there for three hours… quite a lot for a busy businessman!

The Universe’s reason for the meeting came in the form of an important prediction I made while there. As a psychic and healer, I’m given information which I see, hear and feel to pass on to people. Some of my correct predictions have told of upcoming log cabins, houses, jobs and romances. Often what I see takes the form of  health warnings. The ethics and responsibility of doing this work correctly dictates that I supply messages with care. So I gently told “Bill” that I saw a brain disturbance happening with him. He didn’t know what I could possibly mean, at the time. That’s because I was foreseeing a future event. This prediction helped to save his life.

Three days after our meeting and my prediction, “Bill” suffered a stroke. He was sent home by two doctors with the instruction to simply take an aspirin. Perhaps having my message uppermost in his mind and feeling something more serious was wrong, he took himself off to another hospital, where they gave him a catscan and MRI. It was confirmed that he’d had a stroke and this hospital immediately checked him in. As health warnings all over the news tell us, strokes are serious brain injuries and need immediate medical attention. The faster the treatment, the better the chance of recovery.

Luckily “Bill’s” stroke was relatively mild as I understand it, and his speech and ability to eat and walk are returning. He’s improving nicely he tells me, expected to make a good recovery. He also has been telling people about the brain problem that a psychic named Jaye McKenzie predicted to him during a meeting. Boy am I glad the Universe made sure I knew to make that meeting on that exact day. Because you see, three days later…  the Thursday he suggested… may have been too late!

Take good care of yourselves and listen to your intuition.

Happy Chanumas!

What do you get when you mix one part Channukah with one part Christmas? Chanumas!! I made this word up when I was a kid in honour of blending these two wonderful holidays… yup, I was lucky enough to celebrate both in my family. I remember driving downtown with my gram and gramps to gaze at the Christmas windows done up by The Bay – like many kids, I looked forward to that all year. But not just because of the windows filled with colourful, moving displays… I loved going for car rides and adventures with my grandparents. Gramps made everything into a story, a glorious adventure and gram brought cookies and other goodies to eat along the way. Gram never left home without some form of food in a baggie, in her purse. You never knew when you might get stranded without, heaven help us, any food to eat!! It was a jewish tradition, this great love and worry over food. Plus, my gram was the best baker, known for miles around for her pies, pin wheel cookies, cakes and lemon tartes. I’m happy to admit I rarely leave home without some back-up food to this day. Partly because as a holistic healer, I follow the six small meals a day way of eating; and partly because doing this  helps me to feel closer to my gram. When we keep up  traditions, it really does keep our deceased loved ones closer in our hearts. And they love seeing this from the Other Side, it brings them nearer to us as well!

Back to my story… when we arrived home after seeing all the pretty windows and lights on houses, (we had to drive some distance to see the lit up houses, no Jewish house in our neighbourhood would be caught dead with Christmas lights… pun intended) a surprise would be waiting for me. Gramps had put up a Channukah bush, as he called it – his effort to pay homage to my Scottish half. A really sweet and meaningful effort, all things considered. Thanks gramps!

I celebrated the Christmas side of Chanumas on Christmas eve / Christmas day with my parents and my Nanny. Twas the night before Christmas, marked by the exciting drive to pick my grandmother up, dad’s mom, and bring her home for the holiday. She was special for many reasons, not the least of which was her extraordinary psychic ability, which I have inherited. But on Christmas, Nanny was special because she thought she was the female Santa Claus!! She arrived with several shopping bags overflowing with presents and it was my job to place them carefully under our tree, real of course. Mrs. Claus, aka Nanny, wouldn’t have it any other way. How I loved that job; so many presents, so little time! We had eggnog, I was allowed to open one gift at the stroke of midnight and fell asleep with dreams of sugar plums dancing in my head. Oh, that was also because I danced with The National Ballet of Canada and knew every song of the Nutcracker by heart!

In the morning, Nanny and I had her favourite, a grapefruit half with honey, while I waited impatiently for my parents to wake up. They weren’t morning people and alas, neither am I these days, laugh. Mediums tend to be night owls (evidenced by my writing this at 2 am). In our home there was an order to opening presents, little to most significant, my mom’s order. It was a good one, as the best was saved for last. The day was also marked by my dad’s famous turkey and all the trimmings. He was the cook of the family, and he did it well. Still does, though my mom and his mom are now there in spirit… too bad they miss the yummy food tastes… but not much else. Our spirit loved ones join us for special occasions. I think mine enjoy the pulling of the holiday crackers the most! For those who don’t have a big family to celebrate the holidays with, or any family at all in some cases, please don’t feel that you’re alone… your family and friends surround you. Even if you can’t “see” them, they ARE there, sending you love.

I hope you enjoyed my holiday story. Wishing joy, peace and abundance to my loved ones, friends and clients both here on earth and on the spirit side. God bless us… everyone!

Happy Halloween, Medium Style!

Good evening all,

it’s  Halloween night, the time when spirits are at their strongest. Oh, you thought it was the night of goblins, witches and things that go “Boo!” Well, there are those things as well, and candy… lots of candy, but mostly, there’s good old-fashioned ghosts and spirits. They like the holiday as much as we humans do, especially when there’s a full moon to give them added strength. I’m referring of course, to earthbound ghosts, those who haven’t crossed over into the light and spirits, those who have crossed. Either may be seen this night. Look out, there’s one right behind you!!!

Last weekend I cavorted with the crossed over spirit kind, on a full moon in Chicago, Illinois. One of my wonderful clients brought me to her windy city for a special edition of the group psychic mediumship parties I’m known for. I worked from afternoon into early the next morning giving readings to all the good people in attendance. One fellow even came all the way from Ireland! Wow, that’s pretty far, I was flattered! He had a charming accent and demeanor to match. I connected folks with parents, grandparents, friends and relatives on The Other Side. There were tears, there was laughter and many wonderful messages. One woman “recognized” me from a past life we shared together (that happens once at every event I do) and another gentleman’s spirit folks asked me to take and hold his hands. We shared a memorable heart connection for those few moments which I shall never forget. A lot of love flowed between myself and the two clients responsible for this amazing weekend… the one who lives in Chicago and the one who got me there. We are all now close friends as a result. Other memorable moments: ladybugs, stew and lightning high (93 stories) atop the Hancock building. Sincere thanks to all who took part and made it such a success. And by that I mean both the living and the dead!

Enjoy this night for all things sweet and scary. Happy Halloween from your Small Medium.

Jaye, Over and out.
