Debra's Column Yes, I Am A Medium Considering the many prime time TV shows airing these days, including one called “The Medium”, the idea of contacting the other side is not so unusual to many people. Nevertheless, after watching the show I often wonder how the character Allison survives constant interruption and lack of sleep. Fortunately for me, I can say my sleep is uninterrupted, and my dreams are serine. However, this hasn’t always been the case. I remember just before my thirteenth birthday, my first encounter with other side. I was in the back seat of the family car when I noticed a run-down abandoned house. It was falling apart, the siding was peeling off, and the porch was caving in. The old house was en route to my aunt’s place, and I remember feeling very sad every time we drove by. It wasn’t sorrow for the house, but it was a sorrow for something inside the house. I couldn’t quite put my finger on it. I wondered why no one ever tore it down and built something new. Shortly thereafter I went to a Pentacostal Church service with a friend of mine. That evening, for the first time, I witnessed someone speaking in tongues. This piqued my curiosity. I wondered why you would connect with spirit if you couldn’t understand the meaning. I remember saying to myself, “When I speak to spirit, I’ll do it in English so everyone can understand what’s being said.” Later on that night, I dreamt about the old house on the corner. I was inside the house, but it was clean and new. As I looked around I remembered feeling very curious. Then I noticed out of the corner of my eye an old man. He was hunched over and wore a hat. He looked very sad. Without speaking a word he told me that his entire family had left, and he couldn’t leave the house. I looked into his eyes and could feel his pain. I knew he wanted me to help him, but I didn’t know how. The next day I felt miserable. When my mother asked me what was wrong, I started to cry. I told her about my disturbing dream. I also told her about my experience at the church the night before. She looked very worried, and that disturbed me. I had planned to attend church the following night, but Mom felt it was best that I didn’t attend anymore. I didn’t understand why, but I never went back. As I reflect on this time in my life, and of my vivid dreams, I realize that my gifts had been awakened by my own curiosity. I later learned that my mother, like most sensitive people, was fearful of her own psychic abilities. I responded to her fears by suppressing my own gifts. It took me a long time to connect with my gifts again, but the more confident I became, the more my connection returned. I have since come to understand much more about my abilities, the purpose behind them, and how I can use them to help others. I have learned how to channel my abilities and direct them in a way that brings me joy, peace, and comfort. Part of my purpose as a medium is to connect to the other side with a mature and positive light. Every time a connection is made I feel like I am home. During each session, messages of love, hope, and support are conveyed, along with the undeniable actuality that life goes on. My entire life and personal experiences have enhanced my abilities. With the passing of my beloved son, Kris, I have an even greater sense of purpose as a medium and an enhanced passion for my work. I feel it is my life purpose to connect families with their loved ones on the other side. I feel such joy and blessings when I witness undeniable healing as grief becomes replaced with a sense of peace, love, and hope. I feel grateful to be a part of the healing that comes with the realization that the spirit lives on. Please watch for my next column. It will feature amazing stories from the other side, where signs and miracles are evident as families are united after death. Remember, love continuously grows, especially on the other side. Blessings to all as you live in the light! Debra Becker
