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!

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!

Small Medium Comes To Chicago!

I am thrilled to announce that I’ve been invited to Chicago, otherwise known as “the windy city”, to give readings at a special group event! Wow! This will be my first trip to Chicago and I can’t wait. One of my clients, very excited about the readings and life coaching I’ve given her long distance, is organizing this event to bring me there live, on Saturday October 23. I do a great many sessions by telephone, this will be a wonderful opportunity for me to see new faces and places. Next stop… Oprah!

For those of you who are wondering why I usually sign off with the tag line “Small Medium over and out”, I’m finally revealing the answer: because I’m small, (well, okay… short) a good friend of mine with a clever sense of humour quipped one day that I should call myself “The Small Medium”. Finding it rather catchy, that’s become my handle. Nope, never drove a truck, though I have worked in radio, so there you have it. Small Medium conquors the windy city. See you all there!

Small Medium over and out.   Please visit my website or email me at: jadeintuitive@yahoo.ca  to make an appointment for in-person or telephone readings, Reiki healings, spiritual counselling/life coaching or personal appearances.  Please note, there may be a waiting list of up to several weeks.  www.jadeintuitive.ca

Serving The Servers!

People have been asking me more and more lately, how I balance a regular life with my irregular career as a Psychic Medium. It’s a good question and the answer is… striking a balance is sometimes tricky. While I’ve learned to turn my psychic abilities on and off, somewhat like a tap, there are times when it spontaneously occurs as I’m doing day-to-day “human Jaye” stuff. The Spirit side I work with knows this full time profession of mine is indeed a calling… so sometimes it simply “calls” on me to help.

Case in point, two seperate incidents where I was out having lunch on one particular day, and dinner on another, then found myself bringing through dead relatives as an un-ordered side dish! During dinner with my producer, discussing our newly-completed paranormal TV show proposal to be hosted by yours truly, I kept thinking about what a lovely man our waiter was. He was indeed a sweet fellow and a good waiter, but someone in particular was directing my attention towards him… his deceased mother. She was so persistent that I finally asked our server if I could pass a message along to him. Ethics in my field, as well as common sense, dictates that we mediums musn’t just blurt out messages from the dead to the living. Our waiter happily sat down beside me, eager, though stunned to hear from his mom on The Other Side. She told me of difficult times before she passed, but talked about how much her son was there for her and how he’d looked after her. He confirmed all these details… including the phrase she often used to describe her son, “a lovely man”. Before leaving the restaurant, my new friend told me he’d called his girlfriend without waiting for his shift to end, to pass along the amazing details of this last talk with his mom. I left with most of my dinner in a doggy bag, as there wasn’t time to actually eat it. That’s okay, I love doggy bags!

Later that same week I was having lunch with another friend/business person when I found myself asking him if he felt nauseous. As a medical intuitive, I often pick up on physical symptoms of others close to me. Nope, he said he felt fine. I mentioned that our waitress must be having some tummy problems.  Trying to enjoy the fresh salmon sandwich I’d ordered, I did my best to tune out the feeling that someone in spirit wished to talk with her. As you might guess, I finally gave in… the persistent gentleman was her deceased grandfather who started by telling me she was having real-life problems in her relationship with her dad. This, the waitress told me was true, and so her fathers’ father continued. His intention was to help heal the father/daughter relationship, as well as to send love. He and his grandaughter had been very close. He acknowledged the waitress’ sister as a doctor, another bang-on detail, talked of her going back to school and put his (my) hand over his heart… a gesture depicting his pride at being a war hero. Why had I been feeling a sick feeling in my stomach? Spirits often identify themselves by how they died – he’d been poisoned by his enemies post war. Yup, another day of the doggy bag for me.

What I do is also my life, so it’s all good.  But next time you see me at a party – I may just want to blend in and have fun like everyone else. After all, you can’t squish appetizers and frothy drinks into your purse… purses make poor doggy bags!

LILY DALE, N.Y… Here I Come!!!

It’s arrived!! The time I’ve been eagerly awaiting since getting the news on Halloween (an auspicious date, to be sure!). What news , you ask? Well, just the phone call to announce that I’d been chosen to speak and appear as a special guest Medium at the largest centre for Spiritual and paranormal development IN THE WORLD! No biggie. Laugh. Perhaps if I could convince myself that it wasn’t the big deal I know it to be, I’d be less nervous, as I continue preparing for the most important seminar of my career to date. Not usually prone to nerves, as I’ve been a professional inspirational speaker for awhile now, but this isn’t just any old place – it’s the world renowned Lily Dale Assembly in Lily Dale, New York. And no, that’s not like the chicken of the same name.

The Lily Dale complex was established in 1879 and has remained since then, the premier centre for everything Spiritual, paranormal, metaphysical and inspirational. It’s known around the world… yikes! How did I ever get myself into this! Actually, all kidding aside, it is with great honour and gratitude that I will be speaking there this Friday July 2, 2010, presenting a workshop on Spiritual Dowsing and Divining with U.S. paranormal investigator Tim Vodopivec in The Assembly Hall from 1-4 pm. Be there or be square!! We’ll be teaching everything you need to know about the use of  the Divination tools known as dowsing rods and penduluums.

Some of the country’s biggest and best have spoken at Lily Dale, including Dr. Wayne Dyer, Dr. Deepak Chopra, my mentor, the great Allison DuBois, real-life inspiration for the hit television show MEDIUM and the person who suggested I go to Lily Dale in the first place, John Edward, James Van Praagh (Executive producer of the show GHOST WHISPERER), paranormal investigators Jason and Grant of the TV show TAPS. I could go on, but you get the idea. Okay, just reading these names over, I’m giving myself the jitters again, so I’m gonna wrap it up and get back to work.

I’ve also been given the priveledge of appearing as a special guest Medium, giving readings in The Maplewood Hotel on the Lily Dale grounds the following day, Saturday July 3 and Sunday July 4, if the line-ups are long enough! Smile. Appointments can be made to see me in both my seminar and at The Maplewood Hotel’s front desk. See you there!

Blessings and light,
