Hello James. NICE TO BE ABLE TO EMAIL SOMEONE WHO LIVES SO CLOSE. I HAVE BEEN PSYCHIC FOR ABOUT TWENTY YEARS.

I USED TO HAVE A FRIEND WHO WAS A PROFESSIONAL PSYCHIC AND SHE TAUGHT ME A FEW THINGS ABOUT MY SPRIRIT GUIDES (I HAVE TWO). I AM INTERESTED IN PROGRESSING MY SKILLS FURTHER.

CAN YOU TELL ME, DID YOU FIND THAT YOUR SPIRIT GUIDES LED YOU THROUGH THE DIFFERENT STAGES AS TIME WENT ON? DID YOU FIND THAT THEY SET YOU DIFFERENT CHALLENGES AS TIMES PROGRESSED?

I USED TO WORRY THAT WHAT CAME INTO MY HEAD SOUNDED STUPID BUT WHEN I WAS WITH DIFFERENT PEOPLE I FOUND THAT IF I TOLD THEM WHAT CAME INTO MY HEAD, THEY WOULD UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT AND THAT IT MEANT SOMETHING TO THEM.

Hi Pauline,

More you do, the more you want to give it up. I find myself in situations and I wonder 'why me? There has got to be someone more advanced than me.' I argue with spirit and say 'that's it. I am packing the whole lot in.' Then they send me an e-mail from someone who is so desperate I have to answer it.

A medium said to me in December that I would be working so hard with spirit that they would have me working every day. They do for weeks then it stops and you then think 'what's happening?' as it comes to an end.

The real downside to being a medium is sensitivity. Some days the slightest thing can hurt you, but when everyone is running around like a chicken with no head I just seem to go into slow motion and say 'what's all the fuss?'

It's not easy being a medium but you come into contact with people like you, good white lighters. You keep up your good work - it is right for you. You're right, there are lots of spirits around you and there is that one you want that is so strong they love you so much they want you to succeed and be a fighter.
