Hello, and welcome to Women’s Radio Station. I’m Dr Annette Greenwood, life coach and author. On today’s show, Dr Annette talks.

I’m excited to talk about mediumship. Maybe you’ve wondered what mediumship actually is or possibly even thought about having a reading. You didn’t know what it entails or how it can help.

Well, today my guest is Tom King. Tom has been a psychic medium for over 40 years. Tom believes we all have psychic abilities and that we are born with them.

It’s just that some people develop them more than others. Tom is honoured to be a spirit messenger and loves giving all our beautiful spirit friends a voice. He calls it living on the edge of heaven, brings such eternal communications.

Good morning and welcome to Tom. How are you on this fine morning? I’m looking forward to this conversation immensely. Hello, good morning Annette.

Yes, I am really good and I’m looking forward to sharing my experiences with and for the spirit world. Yours is a fascinating journey. I know we spoke about it briefly before, but you experienced a profound healing as a child of nine years old after contracting meningitis.

So can you share with us how that actually changed your life and connected you with the spirit world? Because meningitis was really serious back in the day and it still is, isn’t it? But even so way, way back then. No, I’m saying you’re old of anything, Tom. Just saying way back in the day.

No, I could take that. Yes, at nine years old it was Christmas time and I became very, very ill and I was taken to hospital and they weren’t sure what was going on and for 38 minutes I was down. I had passed over, passed away, however you want to talk about it and I went into a cave and I think the cave was full of color and as I walked along this cave there was an energy, a vibration at the end and this energy vibration told me that it wasn’t my time and I had to go back.

They just kept saying go back. This is not your time and as I came back I was then in a coma between 14 and 15 days and then I woke up in this physical world. So at nine years old that is a huge experience, isn’t it? To go into a cave, to be passed over for 38 minutes and then to meet this energy as you describe it that told you to go back.

So when you’d come out of the coma and your healing journey had begun, how would that affected you? Had it affected your mental health? How did you come to terms with the fact that you’d been actually told to come back from the spirit world? It did. It did affect me but as a nine year old boy I first had to work out what on earth had happened to myself in the physical, meaning that I was in a strange hospital, Christmas had gone, there was people around me, there was tubes and pipes everywhere and everybody was talking to me as though they were pleased to see me and I was like I thought I’d just been to sleep but I knew I had this thing with the cave and then it was difficult because then from then on my sensitivity rate was turned up. If I was a graphic equalizer I was 100% on everything, the light, the colours, the words, the voice, everything seemed very loud.

So it did affect my mental health and as I grew older I started to see and hear things that I thought everybody could see. Pretty much like the sixth sense, I wasn’t aware that everybody else around me couldn’t see and hear the things that I was already seeing. So you’re walking around then, you’re seeing and hearing things that you think other people can say, so at what point are you realizing that other people aren’t seeing and hearing these things? Well it was possibly when I was on my own really and I would say I was talking to different people, man, woman, dogs and everybody would tell me that was around me that there was nobody there and at first I thought they were joking because I was seeing them as clear as the physical being.

So it was very very difficult stage for me and my mental health did struggle a little bit and I became a bit of a loner to be fair because it was me and the voices and possibly a trick to a doctor. So you are at a very young age then, you’re becoming isolated, aren’t you? You’ve got almost like you’re different to other people, you’re other different to young children of nine years old and beyond. You are living in an isolated world with the voices and your mental health is suffering.

So what happens with the doctor? Because I know back in the day mental health was just not talked about in the way it is today and you were made to feel ostracized in many cases albeit not intentional but very much it was there. Absolutely, back in the 70s as it was then and there was a general drug that everybody seemed to get. It was a get well quick drug given out like sweeties on the shelf.

It was called Valium and it made me sleep. That’s about all it did do, just made me sleep and I wasn’t sure what was happening. I seemed to be sleeping more than living and just to be drugged up, did that make the world feel better? No, it made it feel worse and I spent a lot of time in bed not knowing what day it was or bothered what day it was to be fair and it was around that time when I was spending a lot of time in my bed that I was first visited by my Edmaster spirit guide who then told me that the voices were real and the people that I was seeing were real.

It’s just that only certain people, other people could see and hear these voices. So in some ways what they’re describing is you know you’ve been chosen haven’t you? You are a special person in the eyes of, in the real world as we’re talking about as well with the doctors and all the rest of it. You, no doubt, you can correct me if I’m wrong, but no doubt the Valium was there to try and quieten everything down and the word schizophrenia was the one that was always bandied around about people who had voices and the mental health support in those days was non-existent.

So did you feel then that when you went to CEG pain you were put on Valium? I mean what age was this? I just wanted to confirm that for the listeners but being put on Valium, so you’re spending all day in bed and it sounds like you were actually depressed or feeling depressed or it might have been the medication that was making you feel worse. Absolutely, I’m talking about an age now when I’ve left school and I’m sort of making my way out into the world earning my first pennies as it was, so that was hard enough as it was. And then this drug was basically it just made you feel nothing.

I felt nothing. I didn’t feel any emotion. I couldn’t feel anything.

It didn’t matter whether it was Monday or Friday, cold or hot. I felt nothing. Then I realised the drug itself was taking over my life and just because it was making me calm didn’t mean it was right.

In fact it was doing the opposite. I became withdrawn and I find friends are to come by and I lost trust in the living world if you want to say it that way. So that drug, and that’s a wider discussion for another day isn’t it Tom, but that drug itself and the way it impacted on your mental health has had far a reaching consequences than it just, so it’s made you feel emotionless hasn’t it? It’s quietened everything down to a point where you can’t feel what’s going on inside.

It’s made you withdraw and then it’s kind of segregated you, which is a classic sign isn’t it of mental health how people were made to feel back in the day that you were, you know, there was something seriously wrong with you and scientific research is now showing that actually that’s not the case and the voices, as I said earlier about schizophrenia, it’s something I’ve experienced myself and it’s a frightening experience. So for you at this point you’re obviously feeling quite isolated and alone. You’ve got the voices and then you’ve got this reassurance from spirit world from your, is it your main gatekeeper or guide and he’s come, he or she is it, has come to say you are okay Tom, there’s nothing wrong with you, is that kind of how it how it went? Absolutely yes, I was laid in bed one night and I felt and saw the energy of a guide, my spirit guide it was a man, I call him Feather, he was Native American, he wasn’t old, he had a young energy and that’s why I feel my mediumship is very sort of 21st century, I always try and use that but we’ll talk about that later and he sort of told me that first thing I had to do was wean myself off the drug, he said wean as well, he said don’t stop taking it straight away and I kept less and less and less and I started to feel anxious because I was seeing and feeling more again but with his reassurance and having a constant doctor at my bed, I realised that the spirit world was real and very much in this physical world what we live in now.

So Feather is actually telling you or is guiding you isn’t he to stop taking this medication that’s making you feel the way you are and withdrawing from life and he’s there telling you the actual opposite of what a practicing GP would be. So how did you feel then because you were saying earlier about your trust, your trust had been eroded hadn’t it and said then now you’ve got Feather comes into your life and you’ve then got to trust something that is completely alien to you, forgive the pun, but completely not of this earth is it, how did you manage to do that? It was difficult Annette, it was difficult because I had to learn to trust somebody who in my eyes at the time wasn’t real. Through the days, through the weeks, through the months, through the years he has proved he is very much real and he has proved to me that he can be trusted more so than our friends in the physical world.

So he built up my trust, he gave me the reassurance and every time since I have done a reading like today he stood by my side now, he smiles and he is aware that we today are delivering a message that needs to go out there to so many people. Do you know what I’ve just got I’ve had a chill right over my body there. When you said that Feather was stood there and about a message going out into the world that really sort of resonated with me because I firmly believe that through my own experiences and you and I speak quite often about the spirit world about how once you’ve got spirit into your life it does make a huge difference and one of the things that I’m intrigued to know because your journey was a health and healing journey on yourself, your mental health and your physical health and Feather was presumably by your side all the way through this and is still here now sort of 40 years later.

Do you feel drawn then, excuse me, I was in part of your work as a medium and psychic medium, do you feel drawn in a way that is healing other people in their lives albeit not through the same means that you did with meningitis but healing them from trauma in their lives from mental health or from things that have happened and they’re finding it difficult to live with? Yeah that is it 100% I appreciate that mediumship and working with the spirit world is not for everyone I appreciate that but for the people that I have helped for the people that have started the healing process in itself that healing comes back to me as in a karma so in healing others I help myself to realize that in this world we live in to see the glass as our full not our fenty and my guide always says that we must live the world and set our own standards and not let them drop for anyone because we are individuals and we can make a difference and that has been my saying all my life I call it I get mad m-a-d and that is make a difference and I feel now with the work I do with touching people on so many different levels with psychic readings and mediumistic platforms and one-to-ones that that is my skill and ability I’ve said before I don’t because that sounds like something that’s been given I feel I was given an ability to help others and in itself helping others bringing positivity into a world that only sees negative at the moment yeah there’s a lot of things going on in the world that we can’t control isn’t it so having spirit in your life presumably gives you the extra edge because they can share things with you that other people will want to know is that right yeah totally um they are the voice of reasoning they are they are someone that have experienced so many things in their many lives when they was living in the physical but also they can support help guide me to be the best person I can be so I in fact can help others give and help them through troubled stressful times so so anybody listening who hasn’t who’s maybe wondered about mediumship or having a reading is there a way you can simplify if I ask this question you know what is a medium how would you describe that to somebody who’s never experienced it before a medium is totally different to a psychic a psychic picks up on living energies and usually uses the living life force around us our aura to read for that person a medium is a conduit between the two worlds a medium is somebody who listens and feels and passes on messages from the spirit world I’m just like an operator that passes on a message and passes it down to the physical world to simplify it I in my mind I draw a triangle the top point is the spirit world as we come down to the first line that is me and the next corner is the recipient to whoever it is it’s as simple as that from the spirit world to me and pass on to the recipient I try upon try to make my medium is the readings as simple as possible because I’ve learned from the spirit world that simple messages really mean more than just to say hello it’s moon and I love you so it almost sounds like Tom it sounds like you’re plugged in you’re plugged into what’s going on in the spirit world and you’re receiving almost like an antenna isn’t it like a radio antenna if you like you’re receiving that information from spirit and then you’re passing it on to the person sat in the room or on the on the call with you to share information do you have to have somebody who’s passed over in the spirit world to receive a message so i does it have to be my granddad or my mom if it’s a young person who haven’t lost anybody does it still work the same can you still give a message yes absolutely um just on that point um there has been occasions where i’ve read for people and let’s take an hypothetical question uh person uh grandma and um when i said i feel i’ve got grandma here and uh the lady has said but grandma’s not in spirit and then i asked the question but is grandma very very ill at the moment or and she she was um in a coma and she was very ill and since six weeks after that she passed to the spirit world so it is possible to pick up on energies of the living and just one more point as well um i’ve also done some work with a particular lady and i was talking to this lady and i brought a dad through and she said but my dad’s living and he’d been in a care home for five years with very very bad dementia and i brought him through as a pure spirit soul entity oh wow that that that’s not something i’ve heard of if i’m honest i um yeah in my experiences i’ve not come across anything like that so how do people take that how do are they surprised by that is it you know do the people find it frightening it it can be frightening but anybody who’s ever visited anybody with dementia or alzheimer’s sees that there are sometimes a five minute window one minute window where a song emotion or something brings your mum back to you briefly just in that moment they’re the moments that i tap into to say that i’ve got Dorothy here she said she loved that song you play and can she have some different colour slippers because they’ve called the slippers are hers and that something in that message would resonate even though they were in the physical their mind was pure and it got misted by the physical world but the connection i was making was with the spiritual soul and the spiritual soul is 100 pure and in terms of the readings then again for the benefit of listeners and people who’ve maybe never experienced it our readings all around um the darker side of life about your mental health about death about moving over or other some lighter things can you share with people for example if they’ve got a concern in their life now and they don’t know which way to go or it might be a job it might be a relationship or something else are you able or a spirit able to share messages with you to give them some clarification on what step they need to take next that’s a good question and a question that’s often been asked actually when the spirit world come through the main object is to help and guide whoever you’re reading for through difficult times or through times where you’re okay but you just need a push in the right direction through a certain door so yes they can be difficult they can be tricky readings and one other thing i want to make a point of here if your granddad was grumpy and didn’t say many words and was a small guy that’s how he’ll come through he’ll be grumpy he won’t say many words because one thing stays true with spirit the character of the person in the physical comes back exactly the same in the spiritual that is proof in itself that your grandma your granddad your son your brother your mum were true characters and that’s how they come through to me so how then and maybe you can or spirit feather can answer this for us today if a child loses its life at a very young age 10 years later if the parent goes for reading is it the child still as it was when it when it passed over or has it grown in spirit to be 10 years older yeah very very good question and i have asked my spirit guide my edmaster my feather this question and this is his answer not my answer his answer because i have sometimes been concerned that i was getting this right and he told me some babies when they go to the spirit world grow up at the natural time so if they pass 30 years ago they may appear as a 31 year old man that bit i get my head round but why is it when a baby passes say 40 years ago that they still appear to me as a baby and my guide told me some babies are meant to return back into the generation of that family and they wait it could be several 20 30 40 50 60 years in decades that pass but that baby will then return within the family set as a new baby and that’s why they have retained the energy of a baby to return within the family at a later time in history so what so if i’ve got this right what you’re saying tom is then if you have a trial that passes away and it could be five months or five years that it will return within the same family whether it be yeah 20 30 40 50 years so it might it’ll come back into that family so it might be your your granddaughter’s granddaughter’s granddaughter that has that child and it’s come back in to the family that way have i got that right that is exactly what my guy told me because several times i i’ve never understood why sometimes a baby has remained as a baby in the spirit world and others have grown up with the years that pass something that i really want to ask you and i hope feather doesn’t mind my asking this question um and i wasn’t anticipating it being a three-way interview today but i’m more than happy to have feather here who can give you and give us some direct answers but um is it the spirits have a sense of humor are they funny do they crack jokes because i know you’re a big one for cracking jokes and making people laugh and you’ve made me laugh very often when we’ve been sharing stuff but are they funny do they make jokes or is it everything so serious i think the spirit world realize what sort of character you are and they send you a guide that matches into your character so i’m a bit quirky a bit crazy a bit mad but my guide likes that because he himself is a bit quirky when i used to do my platforms in front of hundreds of people i always used to start out with a little bit of a joke a bit of a laugh nothing lifts people’s energy up more than laughter so my spirit guy is a bit wacky is a bit crazy he’s a bit off the cuff but he’s honest and we bounce off each other does he make me laugh certainly does does he raise a few eyebrows to some of my jokes yes but it works if you’ve got a clean one you’re more than welcome to share that today tom if something comes to i wanted to ask you about your platform work as well because that’s that’s not for the faint hearted is it so you’re getting up in front of hundreds of people and you are giving messages now again my experience of um going to see a medium with platform work wasn’t brilliant and it almost sounded like he was talking to anybody with something that could pick up on what he was saying if that makes sense so i know different mediums do it in different ways i know one who goes directly up to the person and touches them when they’ve got a message so how how does your because are you still doing platform work or you’ve stopped that all together now i’ve stopped it now whether in the future i do in other platform remains to be seen i suppose my guy will tell me if he feels i need another push when i go on to platform i don’t meditate i um i have some loud music just before i go in my arm like rider white swan by mark bowland songs like that that lift me up and when i come out it is i’m bubbling i’m ready when i do a platform i like to go to the area or the specific person i’m usually within the area or the specific person i don’t like to throw it out because if you throw it out there there will be 10 15 people with their hands up saying that’s my dad that’s my dad that’s my dad and they are actually helping anybody because if you go to the wrong person the person that is with you on that platform right next to you will go well you can talk to inmate if you want but i’m clear enough because i want to talk to my mother who’s sitting in the back row you’ve gone to the wrong person so just remember that the spirit world will only talk to you if you get the right recipient why would they pass on a message to someone they don’t know um no no i i understand that what you’re saying um my experience was very uh he just kind of stood there and said i think he said the name of a street which is where i was living at the time and then the message he gave um it was it was very personal once i will share it here but i said something was going to happen before the end of that year um to do with a family member and it never transpired it never happened at all so that makes people start to doubt doesn’t it the skills of genuine mediumship so i know you’re a genuine tom but what about those people maybe in an audience who heckle or who they say mediumship is quackery or whatever word they want to use how do you deal with that and have you really have you experienced that at all yeah uh another very very uh interesting question yes um i would call an house party i did for 12 people and it was a small room and i was stood at the back and i was giving messages out and the drinks were flowing to say the least there were other spirits there if you know what i mean yeah um the drinks had been flowing and the guy at the front he didn’t have a seat he he just said kept shouting this is rubbish all the way through and i just let him be and right near the end of what i thought was a difficult uh platform for me i said i want to come to the guy who sort of laid on the carpet by now he’d had a few drinks and he was as the newt as they say so i said i’m coming to this guy and he said oh i want you to tell me i’m on a roundabout somebody in spirit loves you and i told him the name of this person that had passed in a car crash in a car which he was in there was a deadly silence an absolute deadly silence and he came up to me at the end and said i thought this was rubbish i thought this was lots of other words nobody knew about that i was trapped in that car and this person had passed the spirit world and he got out the car and nobody knew about and he hadn’t told anybody and nobody in that room knew about that and he came up to me and he shook my hand and he said thank you the real reason why i was drinking was i couldn’t get over that i couldn’t get over the fact that my friend was passing away in front of me and i couldn’t do anything you have enabled me to see it differently and i can now move on with his spirit with me oh wow we see i’ve gone goosey pimply all over again i have i mean what what validation must that have been for you i know you wouldn’t doubt yourself anyway tom but for some mediums to be heckled like that and to to be you know somebody just not believing of anything at all that might give them a bit of a knockback and the confidence wouldn’t come through it but you on the other hand as an authentic medium you’ve gone back to him haven’t you with some direct information from feather and you’ve actually nailed it and that is you’ve done two things there haven’t done that you are authentic and that mediumship is of great value and you’ve helped him with some healing process at the same time so i mean how how must you have felt after that it was funny because feather came through to me at the beginning when i was going in the car and he said to me there will be times tonight where you will doubt your ability there will be times tonight where it will be hard for you but he said this last message you gave must be to this person the person that’s troubled you all night the person that’s giving you grief but he said we’ll keep him till the end because he needs to know this and when he’s given this message he’ll need to go away and deal with it rather than giving him the message at the beginning if you know what i mean because he hadn’t dealt with it his way was to be aggressive and he was a big guy he was six foot four when he shook me and i just checked hold my fingers were still there he was a big he was a big guy and since that day i’ve never seen him now but he did say when he shook me and that he now had a faith and a belief that there is something more than just the physical world and that in itself is a transformation isn’t it it’s a transformation in how he’s perceived you how he’s perceived the spirit world and it’s taken and that must have been a uh i like to call it a synchronicity that he was there on that day and it was you and feather who actually gave him that validation about about the spirit world and it sounds like he’s changed as a result of that so i guess one of my questions and i’ve got i’ve got loads of them tom we need more than an hour but um the people’s people are always left with questions further questions after readings you know so for example with this guy you’d said what he said to him somebody else might go away and start to question things more start to question about life and about spirit and um you know could they could they themselves could they have this gift so do you find anybody ever asks you questions like that and if they did how would you deal with that because i know you were saying earlier that you believe everybody’s got psychic abilities we’re all born with them it’s just develops them so if somebody wants to develop them are you able to help them develop or would you um point them somewhere else yeah uh i believe that when we’re born we’re born psychic and that’s why children and our lovely pets are more psychic and spiritual than we will ever be the child talking to the friend on the swings the imaginary this the drawings the children do with no way they could know that our pets how do they know when they bark in a room when they know there is an energy in that room so can you be taught when we are born we are born psychically so we can all um enable ourselves to establish what we can do and work with that and mold ourselves into better psychic people when we’ve got that initial psychic energy you can sit in something called the circle usually uh led by a medium i have run circles myself and i’m proud to say that some of the people that i have uh trained and worked with are now out there as fully pledged mediums that is fantastic so it is all about having the belief that we can be better people and in itself help others to heal and i guess that’s probably a good time to ask you then um how can people contact you either for a reading or to find out more about any trainings that you might offer or just anything where they’ve got questions that they’d like to be answered how can people connect with you um i am on facebook um my page on facebook is toms tarot capital t for toms capital t for tarot um it’s a private group but within that group i tell a few jokes we talk about psychic stuff spiritual stuff and i do go live on some thursday and friday nights and give messages from our beautiful spiritual friends i also am on a website called myguru.com my name on there is apollo and this website runs uh 24 seven i i truly believe that we can all be better people within ourselves and for probably half of our lives we we put shells around ourselves to protect ourselves and then for the second half of our lives we start chipping away at those shells and realize who we really are like there is a saying which says can you remember who you was before the world tell you told you who you were meaning that find your true self and the only person real opinion you should listen to is that person that looks in the mirror every single morning that’s a powerful message that tom isn’t it and that’s there’s something there in there about being your authentic self isn’t there something about finding your truth dig it into your own integrity and finding out who you really are so yeah in the early stages of your life you’re 20s 30s and you don’t even know who you are at this point apart from you know maybe somebody who’s had a profound healing journey like yourself and even that took some time to get over so the second stage of your life as you’re talking about is the one where if you’re not going to look yourself in the mirror at some point and deal with the person you are or the person you want to become or find out what it is you truly want and what what talents and what gifts and what other things you’ve got to share your contribution to the world for me that it has to have some purpose to it and some meaning and without doing your own soul search chain you don’t find that path or is that is that what you would say tom is that your experience i believe that we as we get older and more mature let’s use the word mature and wiser probably like a good cheese or wine but that’s spirits we don’t want to talk about them right as we get older we realize that being who we are being true to yourself is all you can really be because there may have been times in our lives where people have put us down there may have been times in our lives where we feel bad about ourselves there may have been times in our life where you just think what next for god’s sake what next but if you can look yourself in the face and say you know what i have made a difference and that as a legacy is lovely to think that within your life you have made a difference to other people’s lives for a positive way what a lovely legacy to leave yeah and yeah whoever we are and wherever we are it’s never too late to make those changes is it and to be able to if you want to look at it that way get to the end of your life and have no regrets about the choices you’ve made and the things that you’ve wanted to do because it’s made you into a better person or you you’ve contributed to the world or i mean i know you you support food bank part of your voluntary work and that is just another side of a very genuine authentic person that you are i do have one question that’s just come to me now which is for people out there who may have had family or friends who’ve taken their own lives and they are worried about what happens in the spirit world because they they maybe didn’t know this was going to happen and it’s been very unexpected how how could you console somebody who’s feeling like that tom that is one of the most difficult tasks that i have um over the years i’ve had many um energies spiritual energies spiritual people connect me who have taken their own lives and they all come through with a beautiful pure energy let’s say that first every inhibition any problem that they have in the physical whether that be of a mental or a physical nature that has gone that that has been removed and they come through but they all come through with a feeling that they’re trying to relieve the pain that is being left behind in the physical world the void where the lady the mom goes into the bedroom and the bedroom is as it was five years ago that is why they come through can you tell me mum she doesn’t have to visit the grave every week can you tell me mum she doesn’t have to hang on to the clothes i am well i am fit and to let them know that they’re with grandma with granddad they’re with people who were loved within the family set they are loved and they are around that table now that in itself starts the healing process of a very difficult situation but when people are in dark places like that when people have committed suicide when they come through to me they have no feeling of that i don’t feel anything mental or physical it is a complete release from the restrictions and sanctions that they put on themselves that’s quite an emotional message that you give there i mean that it’s not happened to me but i do know people who’ve lost people through suicide and i do know people that have worked with who’ve said they wanted to commit suicide and and relievingly they haven’t but for you to be able to deliver that message to somebody and for anybody listening to be able to hear that that is a strong message of hope and if they may be sat because they’re living in a bit of a time warp there out there they’re going into the bedroom of their their child whether it be a girl or a boy and they are keeping it exactly as it was they’re not letting go are they they’re not able to let go for whatever reason but you giving that message there as you say that starts a healing process yes what it is they are stuck on that day at that time they are stuck there their life froze at that moment and with giving a message of hope and giving a message of mom i’m okay they in themselves can start to come to terms with an an healing process that can take years i am not a god i am not somebody who can say everything is right everything is pure but i can give them a start i can show them the first step on the staircase to recovery and that first step believe it or not is the most vital step because they are stuck in a dark void a shadow of themselves what they used to be and if they then can see a glimmer of sun coming through a blind then i know what i’m doing can start to help the healing process and you know just listen to what you’re saying it’s not difficult to see why feather actually chose you to be um for him to mentor you for for whatever an expression because you know you sound though um you know i could sit and listen to you for hours and hours on end and i’m sure that there are so many questions that people would have as well to to to know more about the world to know more about feather and something comes to me there about feather is feather your only guide or do you have more than one is it when you are doing a reading because i know you don’t just use mediumship you use tarot as well don’t you so when you’re getting information through from tarot or your spirit guys is it more than just feather is it or is feather that you know he’s the main one and he brings in other energies as well feather is my ed master my ed teacher if you can remember back to school days black and white photos maybe i don’t know but if you can remember back today you had an history teacher you had a geography teacher you had a maths teacher so if there are specific things that you need in a reading maybe to help somebody with a relationship some teacher may come through that as social skills or if somebody is struggling with moving forward with a particular reason somebody another specific teacher can come through so i’m not saying i have loads of guides i am saying i have probably three or four other specific guides all overseen by my master feather who i don’t mess about with he’s my gatekeeper he’s my bouncer he’s my dorman because sometimes it can get a bit too much so has there ever been readings when he’s moved in and said enough yes most definitely because sometimes when you’re with a link and you can feel the love of your mum dad brother coming through it’s hard to stop that link because you can feel the love there between the daughter and the father but then feather comes through and he says seven or eight minutes that’s it we need to start hit the healing process of all these hundreds of people that is in this room you can’t stay at one too long you can feel the love but then you need to pass that on and help the healing of other people within the room i like that idea from that feathers a bit of a bouncer and if you’re getting out of hand he’s in there to give you a tap around the back of the head and remind you losing charge here most certainly and once or twice he has stepped in um if i can briefly tell you one where a guy came through and this guy used blue language um and i i was struggling to pass the message on without using that language which i don’t use he just stepped in and said ask the gentleman give him a message and and we we we we just passed on that this this gentleman used blue language and we passed the message on as quick as possible and then we moved on because every second word was the swear word it was difficult to work out what he was trying to say but we have got to remember that the spirit world are excited to have that reconnection with the mother son mother daughter thing so to them it’s like a birthday party and they will connect to any medium that feels will be authentic to pass on the relative message not to stand there and say look at me ego ego ego my latest dvd is the sale there we all know people like that yeah and i know you’re totally um very much against that kind of thing and you always want to come from a place of authenticity and i mean i feel empowered just listening to what you’re talking about and how how you describe your guys and feather but something struck me there when you’re talking about um the right medium will come through so for example if it was um you’re doing a reading for somebody and they’re they’re unwell they’ve got a health problem could you possibly get a doctor that’s passed over come through who specialized in that area like say a heart condition or or something going else going on in the body would would that be a possibility interesting question um medically whenever i feel something that whether it’s an arm a leg a knee i always push them towards seeing a doctor or some help from the nhs i always tell the people the recipient that i am not medically trained it’s a feeling that i have from there and if i can just give you one story and then we’re getting near the end um i did some work once in an hospice and it was the happiest week i’ve ever had believe it or not and this guy gave me one bit of advice and he said to me people may not remember what you said people may not remember what you did for them but people will always remember how you made them feel so when you leave here today you go out and make people feel good and i’ve never forgot that never no that is um that is something here i would hold close to my heart in the coaching work i do as best you can you always want somebody to go away feeling that i like to use the word empowered but that that’s just me but everybody else might feel different it might be confident it might be something else but you want people to go away as best you can and if i do a reading feeling wow that that’s made some difference somewhere and i think with what’s going on in the world today i’m going to ask you whether feather would share some message of inspiration or hope because you could because of what’s happening we can’t change that you and i both know that we have no control over it but is there something that feather or any of your other guides would like to share with us that just might inspire somebody when they listen to this this interview that they go oh yeah that that’s a just a different way of looking at things yeah absolutely i’ll try and keep it brief feather is always a real character and he’s often quoted people from me he’s often said to me death is a wonderful way of cutting down your expenses sorry yeah that’s how he sees things it’s a Woody Allen quote but he brought it to me one night because i thought there’s no way but that is a way of um but he says as well your conscience is the inner voice which warns us that somebody may be looking meaning that our conscience what we’ve got to come to terms with the things we do and say stand up for yourself and if you only ever believe in one thing in life believe in you set your own standards he always says this but don’t expect other people to adhere to them because you will end up disappointed so believe in yourself and as you get older and more mature realize that your friends may be less but certainly they will be more sincere yeah that’s a lovely message um and i feel like i know feather really well just by our together that i can almost feel his energy because it comes across in how you speak and how how you say things and i guess i know we are coming to the end we’ve got about three minutes or so for you um doing what you do do you find yourself having to i don’t know have some kind of other personal development do you feel that you want to grow in other areas or is it that you just you are quite happy and content to stay with feather and what you do there and the messages you give and the messages of hope that you give to people or do you ever feel drawn into anything else i am always open to new possibilities and it never ceases to amaze me what messages can come through from the spirit world however feather has been with me for seems for always and i know that you will guide me into other areas where i need to go but the experience and the love that we share in this physical world is the only thing that we take with us on our next journey not the fancy car not the lovely central eating or the brand new carpet we don’t take anything with us only the experiences we share and the love that we share with our special friends and pets that’s the only thing so with simplicity feather explains things to me with simplicity i think albert einstein said if you can’t explain it to a six-year-old child then don’t meaning i hope you’ve understood today how i’ve tried to make mediumship and the world of a psychic as simple as possible i think you’ve done that in spades and we’re actually down to our last 30 seconds and i just want to say a huge thank you to tom king and his amazing guide feather for joining us today on women’s radio station please check us out on instagram women’s radio station linked in all those other mediums so to speak and until next time my blessings sending love
