By Samantha Amaral
•
How would you classify yourself? (i.e., medium, psychic, clairvoyant, etc.)
How would you classify yourself? (i.e., medium, psychic, clairvoyant, etc.) I am a psychic medium & clairvoyant
•When did you know you were different from other people?
When did you know you were different from other people? I have always “been this way” however it was more recognizable when I was in my mid teens. I had more understanding, of course, later on however definitely was able to see a “difference” through those teenage years.
•What is your earliest recollection of speaking with spirits?
What is your earliest recollection of speaking with spirits? Looking back now it would be when I was about 5 or 6. I used to believe that my spirit guide, Maggi, was my imaginary friend. My parents were always hearing me speaking with them. However looking back now and the memories I have with her, seeing her all my life..there is nothing imaginary about it.
•Was it hard growing up with your special gifts?
Was it hard growing up with your special gifts? There came a time that I wasn’t sure what to do, who to discuss things with so the only choice I had at that time was to block things out until I could understand and have someone (human) to discuss it with. I would say more confusing than hard.
•Were or are your parents psychically sensitive? Some people believe your type of gift runs in families.
Were or are your parents psychically sensitive? Some people believe your type of gift runs in families. In their time, my grandparents time, so forth, these abilities were not really spoken about or mentioned. I do believe that my father is an empathy and my mother has dreams that come true as well as gut instincts however I personally do not feel that they have explored it in their lives.
•Have you noticed if your children have inherited your gift?
Have you noticed if your children have inherited your gift? I have three boys. My oldest, who is 12.5 at this time, has always shown signs of having abilities as I recall at his age and even younger. At this time my middle son doesn’t really show any abilities in that area and the baby is quite small.
•How would counsel them in nurturing their gift if you passed the gift onto them?
How would counsel them in nurturing their gift if you passed the gift onto them? I am an open book about it. I want them to have proper understanding so when I feel it is time to have a talk about it we do. They are still kids so I do not want them sucked into a world they are not mature enough to understand however at the same time I try to help them have an open mind and know it is OK no matter who says what!
•How long have you been giving readings?
How long have you been giving readings? I have been giving readings for the past 13 years, 5 of them professionally.
•Do you physically see a spirit associated with the sitter or do you hear audibly the spirit or what?
Do you physically see a spirit associated with the sitter or do you hear audibly the spirit or what? It happens many ways. I have seen them, I have felt them, heard them. It is never the same as no spirit is ever the same just as humans are not the same!
•What may happen during a normal reading?
What may happen during a normal reading? What you need to realize is that there is nothing normal ever! You should expect to hear the message that you need to hear rather than WANT to hear!
•Do you tape the reading for your clients?
Do you tape the reading for your clients? I do not tape the readings I provide over the phone or in person however if the person would like for me to do so I would. I do also do readings via email and online chat and if the client requests I do send copies of those.
•What do you do when you have a spirit randomly ask to give a message to someone like for example when you are at the grocery store?
What do you do when you have a spirit randomly ask to give a message to someone like for example when you are at the grocery store? It really depends on the message. If it is a warning that needs to get across I will give it. However, most times I try to sort it out and move about my business as people are not always accepting of a stranger telling them one thing or another. There are ways to give the message without saying “your dad is with you and he wants you to know xyz” and if I feel I am able to do it that way, I will.
•Are you able to predict outcomes for yourself or your immediate family? Some people believe clairvoyants are not able to foresee their own future. Is that true in your case?
Are you able to predict outcomes for yourself or your immediate family? Some people believe clairvoyants are not able to foresee their own future. Is that true in your case?Well these abilities are not for self gain so in some cases you cannot see things. However, when something is about to happen good or bad, I definitely know. I may not know exactly what it is, but there is a feeling of doom or happiness that I feel for several days prior!
•Have you ever had to deliver bad news to a client? If so, how do you deliver such bad news?
Have you ever had to deliver bad news to a client? If so, how do you deliver such bad news? Oh yes. Many times it is bad news as it isn’t the news that the client wishes to hear! I am an open book, I am kind and sincere however I am straightforward. In most all cases I will know before we even begin the reading what is coming for them, so I will always prompt the reading with “Remember, you come to me for insight..the message may not be what you want to hear but something you NEED to hear”.
•What kind of readings do you provide?
What kind of readings do you provide? I offer several different readings. I am able to connect through online chat (text), email, phone, in person, etc. This can be done privately, as a group, parties and more!
•Do you have to meet face to face with a client to give a reading; or can you do over the phone or through email?
Do you have to meet face to face with a client to give a reading; or can you do over the phone or through email? Absolutely not! I can deliver it without ever hearing or seeing the person and have for many years!
•Do the spirits speak to you in your dreams?
Do the spirits speak to you in your dreams? Oh yes, they never let you sleep!
•Do you ever predict world happenings?
Do you ever predict world happenings? I do predictions every year regarding visions I am shown! They are viewable on my website under my 2008 Predictions page.
•How accurate would you say your previous world predictions have been?
How accurate would you say your previous world predictions have been? I always show my past predictions and if I was right or wrong, I am not afraid of being wrong as there is only one who is right and that is God. I do not know of a percentage but I feel my “worldly” predictions are atleast 85-90% right in some regard.
•Are you able to turn off your gift when you want to?
Are you able to turn off your gift when you want to? Not really, it is always there. Just depends if I am paying attention or not!
•What do you tell skeptics of the world who say “psychic abilities” do not exist?
What do you tell skeptics of the world who say “psychic abilities” do not exist? Honestly I do not argue with them. There are many worldly changes coming and I feel even skeptics at this time will reconsider those who are truly gifted!
•What advice can you give people interested in seeking a psychic for help in finding a good one and avoiding a fraudulent one?
What advice can you give people interested in seeking a psychic for help in finding a good one and avoiding a fraudulent one? If it is too good to be true, it probably is! Feel connected with the person, they should feel as if you are talking to a sibling, best friend, someone you trust. Your gut will always tell you if the person is true or not..follow that!
•Do you believe anyone can develop psychic abilities?
Do you believe anyone can develop psychic abilities?I believe we all have something very special about us and if we are open to understanding and knowing that then we are able to tune and and see what that “special” part is. So yes, in many ways we are all connected!
•Have you ever tried to help police with unsolved crimes? If so, have you had any success?
Have you ever tried to help police with unsolved crimes? If so, have you had any success? Unofficially, yes!
•What are your thoughts of other well known psychics who are on TV; are they real or fake?
What are your thoughts of other well known psychics who are on TV; are they real or fake? I do not judge them. They believe in their abilities and others do as well. I cannot really say either way!
•Do you have any special events coming up that you would like to share with our readers?
Do you have any special events coming up that you would like to share with our readers? At this time you can contact me daily through www.paltalk.com for a free reading. I run specials as well through my site. I just appeared on Apsr Radio on Feb 13th and now have also been asked to send a pilot to World Talk Radio to initiate my own show! Hopefully I will have more details on that later!
•How does someone go about scheduling a reading with you?
How does someone go about scheduling a reading with you? You can contact me by email, messenger or phone if you would like to schedule or you can go through my website and submit payment and I will get to you immediately. I work a good part of the day and night and am always available by appointment and in some cases short notice!
