How to Help Someone Who Is Considering Suicide

I was 25 years old when the news reported that the lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, had killed himself. I remember thinking, “Wow, that guy had fame and fortune and was still so unhappy that he took his own life.

I am in the somewhat unique position of being able to speak to people on the other side who have committed suicide. And I have done countless readings for clients who are suicidal

Can we contact the soul of a person who is living, not deceased?

The Power of an Unanticipated Compliment

The other day I was sitting in my office and I started thinking about an acquaintance. She’s a really lovely person who is kind, compassionate, and very giving. While I was having these thoughts, one of my guides said “So tell her how you feel about her.” I responded, “Just out of the blue?” “Yes,” the guide replied. “Why not?” I sent her a message on Facebook and said “Hi, I just wanted you to know how highly I regard you.
