Keep doing this consistently and observe their reaction over time. If their reaction scares you - good. Be afraid. Be very afraid.

When I filmed the Criss Angel show we had all the investigators equipment going plus the cameras and microphones of the crewmen and I was doing really well. I have been considering why I was blocked. It could have been that I was putting so much of my available energy into protection. It could be that my guides were protecting me from receiving information from lower beings. I'm not totally sure but it was definitely weird. Kevin: Interesting thoughts. He did spend a ton of time moving people around to different seats and I was sort of disappointed that being behind him meant I couldn't see his face. But then again, if he were a total huckster he wouldn't have bombed. He would have had people in the audience shilling for him, know what I mean? I don't think he's a phony. I think he was either having an off night or just isn't very good at seances. I have to imagine that whoever is producing his show would have checked out his psychic abilities before putting him on television. I don't know, maybe I'm naive.

He put you directly behind him and gave you a focus that was on a child so that you were not watching him. 2. The other 2 mediums he placed on either side and tasked with balancing the energies to their sides which took their focus off of him as well. This suggests to me that he wanted those with experience specifically tasked to something other than watching his technique. Now as you say he could have just been having an off night, but I think more likely he is a blatent self-promoter who has learned some tricks to fool ordinary folks. I've seen this often in the martial arts world. Self-promoter types who purport to being able to do special techniques and then make use of a little slight of hand and suggestion. Whereas those with real technique and skill are often quiet almost to a fault. Have you consulted your guides about him? I would think they would be able to verify your thoughts about the experience. It might even be that they wanted you to see a hustler in action. Keep up the blogging, your path is inspirational. Kevin Erin,

I've demonstrated psychic abilities in the past but I would never call myself psychic. Just a random theory on why you couldn't sense anything Erin, whether I've read this, heard this, or just felt this through intuition, Psychic energy is adversely affected by electrical energy. I could be completely wrong but if there was a high level of electrical energy in the room from camera's, mobiles, recording equipment etc, then maybe that was causing the block?!

I'm learning to develop my psychic abilities but a good friend of mine has been psychic most of her life. She has a weekly radio show on a major commercial station here where people can call in for an on-the-air reading. She is so good it's eerie. Anyway, she was away recently and the radio station had a guest psychic on that was visiting from interstate (despite the fact that this was against a written agreement she had with the station) and he was taking calls from listeners. Strangely, not one thing he said made any sense to any of the callers he read for. I don't know if he was just having an off day or what, but it makes you wonder about some people that profess to be psychics. Keep up the great blogs. :-) Regards, Steve (a different one) Hi Erin,

It was like dead air. Exactly like a mute spell. lol J: Children are more open than adults, yes. They haven't closed themselves off completely to the ethereal world, but they also don't know how to protect themselves.

Weird. I'm sure there's still something to learn from it though. It doesn't sound to me like seances are very different from normal channeling sessions. I wonder why you couldn't tune into anything while you were there. It's kind of ominious in a way. Has that ever happened to you before? How long after was it before you were able to start tuning in again? The whole situation reminds me of a "mute" spell being cast like in the game Final Fantasy. It also reminds me of your post about "fear based guides," when your caller was being blocked. I wonder if you weren't on the receiving end this time around?

Um . . . congrats? Ah . . . maybe? Why are children more susceptable to psychic energy? Does it have something to do with Ruldolf Steiner and his notion that children are not fully incarnated into their bodies and exist partially in a spiritual realm until a certain age? Is this why children are more likely to see ghosts? Pineapple juice? Um . . . congrats? Ah . . . maybe?
