Psychics Thriving in Asheville, NC

Have you ever been to a place where you've felt as though everyone knew everyone.  Perhaps a faint smile acknowledgement, a quiet nod, or a sense of familiarity.  Many places felt familiar to me, however, Asheville and Cherokee North Carolina specifically have a psychic connect and pilgrimage of people with a sixth sense.

When I  lived in Pennsylvania my ability was few and far between but in Asheville I personally know five psychics.  A relief knowing that there were others like me with the same ability.  Some see us as freaks of nature.  Stating no one but God should have the ability of divine insight and guidance.  I reply, "Perhaps God is the ultimate psychic - just a thought."  To which they reply, "What?"  That's when I just nod and walk away.  Bless their hearts.

People who've had readings done know that even in the age of Social Media and Google information,  if they are read by a true psychic, we tell them things that NO ONE except them, their family, or deceased relatives know.  Example: Their first grade teacher's daughter/son names. Or, the actual town their best friend was born instead of the town she or he lists on their resume.  This is what I like to call tapping in to astral energy.

Asheville, in my opinion, a vortex for people with this unique gift.  As well as being the top city for Micro-Beers and Breweries, our little town nestled in the Blue Ridge Mountains probably has more psychics than locally brewed beers.

As a psychic I feel at home and at peace here.  If you think you have a gift or you know you do, plan a trip to Asheville!  You'll feel and see what I mean.  And don't forget to sample our local beer while you're here!

Are You Psychic?

Have you ever had a psychic experience?  Do you think you're psychic?  When I tell people I'm psychic their response is generally amazement or disbelief.

When I ask them about their experience they usually tell me something like, "I always know who's on the phone before I answer it."  Or, "I can tell when something's wrong with my child(ren)."  It could be a psychic connection, but more than likely it's intuition.  Parents have that with their kids, family and close friends.  After years of marriage husbands and wives have the same intuition.

Psychic ability is a little different. When I first realized I had this gift I kept a notebook and wrote down what I called "hits" and "misses".  A hit indicated I was right about something I predicted or accurate information that was given at a reading.  A miss meant I was off the mark by a mile!

After years of doing readings and more than two dozen notebooks later I realized my hits were more than my misses.  I was becoming more and more accurate and comfortable with my gift and readings.

I would love to hear your stories and comments about your psychic experiences.  Keep the good energy flowing.  It brings joy, love, clarity and prosperity into your life!

Whoa I See Another Bad One!

In my last blog post I wrote about psychics not being able to predict deaths . . . but I never said anything about chicken psychics!  A funny cartoon by The Far Side Gary Larson  proves it's possible.  Click on the link and full screen to see.  Enjoy!

Rest Peacefully Sylvia

I just heard that psychic, Sylvia Browne passed away yesterday.  First I'd like to offer my condolences to her family sending prayers to help them through their time of sadness.  I'd also use this as a opportunity to comment on all the social media post question: If she's a psychic didn't she know she was going to die?

Psychics are human beings.  We laugh, cry, hurt, get angry, get sick, die just like anybody else.  We're not super human.   Someone once asked me if I could tap into (read) myself. My answer is always, "Can you tickle yourself to the point of hysteria?"  No, because you can't tickle yourself. I don't know any psychics who can predict what's going to happen to themselves. We  can not predict when we're going to die or for that matter anyone else.

Case in point:  Years ago I went to a psychic after my mother passed away who told me that my dad was going to die soon thereafter.  That was 20-years ago and my dad is still alive and well at the ripe old age of 94-years old.   Death is a nature occurrence.  Death eventually comes to all of us.

So before you post those jokes about how we should know when we're going to die remember we are simply human beings who happen to have been blessed with a special and precious gift.  One we didn't ask to have nor can we give back.  It's who we are.  Rest peacefully Sylvia and someday we'll see you on the other side.

Chronicles of a Second Generation Psychic, Part III Developing Psychic Listening Skills

"Expectations will affect your listening skills. You may want to hear from a deceased family member or spouse however they may not be ready to communicate with you. Patience is important." - Deb Martin-Webster

In Western North Carolina, the culture is mostly southern lifestyle and country music. Last week I heard a country song called, I Hear Voices by Chris Young.

"You could say I'm a little bit crazy, you could call me insane, walkin' 'round with all these whispers, runnin' 'round here in my brain." 

I totally related to Chris Young's song. As a kid I thought I was crazy. I heard voices all the time. Voices of people I didn't know yet needed to be heard. I realized they were the voices of those who have passed over and were trying to communicate; to let their family members know they were okay. However, as the year went by there was one voice; one I had become very familiar with - It was the voice of my spirit guide, Mel.

I remember as a young child it was difficult for my parents to get me to sleep. They would put me into bed and I would lie awake for hours watching the street lights and listening to the sounds of the nearby traffic. It was during the summer months that I began hearing someone singing. I couldn't have been more than 5-years old but I remember singing the song along with them, however I didn't understand the words. My parents thought I was singing gibberish. It wasn't until I was in my late twenties while singing the song to my daughter a friend told me that it was a Danish lullaby called, "Den Lille Ole [med paraplyen]." Translated it means "The Little Sandman with the Umbrella." Her grandmother who was Danish sang it to her. I don't speak the language nor have I ever been to Denmark. The only explanation is that a spirit of someone from the country knew the tune and sang it to soothe me.

I honestly believe everyone has some level of psychic ability. It's just a matter of being able to listen not with your ears but with your inner-self or as some say listening with your mind's eye. Contradictory yes nonetheless listening is more than hearing. It's also feeling energy. As I stated in my first article I'm  empathetic,  I can sense and interpret energy and put it into words and images. 

Here are a few suggestions that helped me develop and trust my psychic listening skills:

Relax: The first time I heard my spirit guide was during a Closed Eye Process. The lights were dim and the room was quiet. Our facilitator who was also a Yoga instructor asked us to close our eyes and breathe in through the nose and out through the mouth. I could feel my body sink into a state of total relaxation.

Identification: Mentally or verbally ask, "Is there anyone who would like to communicate with me." Take a deep breath and wait for a response. You may not receive an answer right away but keep trying. I remember being with my mother when she died. She said, "I can't hold on anymore I can't hold on!" I had to tell her that it was okay to let go. It was 11-months after her death before I could communicate with her. The week prior to what would have been her 67^th birthday I heard her say, "Debbie, take care of your dad; don't let him grieve his life away." I kept my promise. This year he celebrated his 94^th birthday.

Be Open: Expectations will affect your listening skills. You may want to hear from a deceased family member or spouse however they may not be ready to communicate with you. Patience is important. A deceased friend may choose to come through to communicate with you first or in my case a spirit guide. Listen to what they have to say and keep trying. The person you want to hear from will eventually come through.

Document: Whenever I do a reading I always tell the person to take written notes or to bring a recording device. I may tell you something that [at the time] does not make sense or an unfamiliar name or place. Documenting helps [you] to remember details of your psychic experiences; what you hear, feel and/or see. It will make sense later.
