Another woman brought a wristband belonging to her deceased child. Immediately an older gentleman in Spirit came through with the child, telling me his name was Charles. She couldn’t place the name. That night I received an email saying her husband’s grandfather was Carlos, and Charles had been the English name given to him. She told me how she and her husband cried with tears of joy knowing that their child was with family on the other side. Just as Carlos used the English version of his name, sometimes the departed who had minimal English conversational skills when they were alive are still able to impart a dramatic message with quite detailed information to their loved ones.
You will need much patience in your search for communication from your loved ones. As I have mentioned, different mediums have differing strengths and weaknesses and so do those dearly departed souls in the Spirit world. Some days they will be chatty, while others they may be quiet. You must have had a conversation with a relative or friend that was hard-going because they just didn’t feel like talking. It’s the same in the heavenly realms; personalities don’t change just because they have passed on. Your beloved may be busy overseeing another family member or working on a divine plan and not in the mood to be interrupted.
Children often come through very excited to catch up with their mum and dad, letting them know they had no pain making the transition and have met up with their grandparents and even some pets. Yet their actions and symbols are often far more impressive than their level of conversation. You won’t find a five-year-old child speaking with the same level of conversational skills as a 30-year-old adult. It may take several visits to a medium over a period of time to allow confidence, rapport and energy to build up to successfully get a total picture of what they wish to communicate with you. This is why it is essential that no matter who you see for a consultation, keep all your notes and recordings.
Tony drowned in the family’s swimming pool when he was four years old. Their pet labrador, Charlie, had alerted the family with his barking, but it was too late. His mum, Pru, found him at the bottom of the pool. On the second anniversary of Tony’s passing, she decided to have a reading. Tony came through immediately; he was holding a beach towel and a kick board in his hand, jumping up and down with excitement. Pru found this very distressing, why would he be so excited to go swimming when he died in a pool?
When I described the colours in the towel and the markings on the board, Pru covered her mouth in shock. ‘Georgina, we had bought those for Tony for Christmas, but he died two weeks before. The presents are still in his bedroom.’ Tony held up a painting. He pointed: ‘Mummy, Daddy, Chacha and Baby.’ Tony knew that he now had a little sister, Katie, who was just three months old. ‘Chacha’ was the name he called his dog Charlie.
Pru was comforted to know that Tony was indeed watching over them. When Katie was two, Pru decided she was ready for another session. I could sense Tony’s presence prior to her arrival. He was very vocal this time, chatting about the new baby boy and that he wanted him to have his bike and cars. He didn’t want the baby to have his name; he should be called Toby. Pru was as confused as I was, it didn’t make sense. Six months later Pru rang to say she had just given birth to a baby boy who she named Toby. She didn’t know at the time of the reading that she was pregnant, but Tony knew.
Some clients have very unrealistic expectations—sadly, there can be no guarantee that you can tap into a loved one. So if a psychic medium guarantees they can contact your loved one, a warning light should be flashing bright and red. Take this as a warning. A genuine psychic will tell you nothing is 100 per cent guaranteed from the Spirit world.
Some mediums will be able to distinguish how the person died, and may give you names of those they are with in Spirit; others may not. Many will be able to tell you about your loved one’s personality, likes, dislikes, pastimes and interests. It may seem trivial or inconsequential to you; nevertheless it is important to them.
Sometimes a person who you least expect will come through and give you a message, not the beloved who you were seeking. I understand this is frustrating for the client and also for the psychic medium, but there is nothing predictable about the afterlife.

The function of wisdom is to discriminate between good and evil.
Cicero
Have you ever felt totally drained when you hang up the phone after talking to a friend, leaving you with a headache or completely depleted of energy? Have you walked into a shop and felt suddenly spaced out, only to find the sensation leaves when you walk out the door? Or do you feel nauseous or overwhelmingly tired when a certain family member visits? If so, what you experienced was ‘energy zapping’. People store negative, stagnant and polluted energy in their bodies, and unfortunately this remains with them until they drop off the energy onto someone else.
My client Frank was worried about his son Sebastian. Whenever Sebastian returned home from visiting a particular group of friends and walked past him, Frank became dizzy and drained of all energy. My guides told me Sebastian was experimenting with drugs which altered his energy field. His aura was leaking energy. Just like a creeping vine seeks out a stable object to latch onto to thrive, Sebastian’s leaking energy field was unconsciously reaching out to Frank’s powerhouse of energy, depleting his reserves and dumping negative energy on him. Frank needed to learn psychic protection.
Psychically protecting your aura and energies is essential on a daily basis. Prior to visiting a psychic or medium, imagine yourself surrounded in the most beautiful gold light. A qigong master once told me to symbolically paint my aura—the energy field surrounding the body from the top of the head to the souls of the feet—ten times with gold light. I imagine I’m in an eggshell and I see myself being dipped in beautiful gold paint ten times. I find this technique much quicker and more effective. Remember to redo the processes when you’ve left the session.
Before a client arrives for a Dearly Departed reading, I set aside quiet time where I meditate and pray that I will be used as a divine instrument to assist the client who is arriving for their session, and that the right information will be given for them that day. It is often at this time that the dearly departed will appear, as though they too are preparing for the session and are keen to have this opportunity to express through a medium what they have not been able to say since they passed over.
The way you approach a reading, and allow your loved one to communicate in general, is affected by your outlook and reactions.
It is only natural through grief that you may become obsessed in wanting to visit numerous mediums for proof and comfort of your loved one’s existence and presence. Consider how your beloved would cope with the continual interruption to their development on the other side. They too need time to refresh, adjust, catch up and learn where they’ve been and what will be expected for their soul’s development in the future.
The afterlife is a continuum of our earthly existence. Your beloved may be found in a ‘spirit hospital’, enjoying divine healing.
Then there are the reunions with loved ones already passed on— kindred spirits embrace those nearest and dearest, excited at the opportunity to meet up once more. Some eager souls enjoy the opportunity of learning from the great masters; while others keen to reincarnate are prepared to enter a stage of learning much like returning to school. There are moments of restfulness and times of great activity in the afterlife. You need to seek balance, both for the living and for the departed.
I find it easier to tap into the energy of the dearly departed when I have a name, or an item that belongs to the individual.
Many times in a General/Futuristic reading, Spirit manifests and cuts right through the predictive part of the reading to grab my attention to pass on a message for the client. I am a mental medium. I see things that pop into my head, feel pain or sensations in my body, and hear words, songs and inspirational notes.
It’s like going over your favourite song—you don’t
actually hear the words, but you sense them.
There are some psychics whose strengths lie in clairaudience, or clear hearing. The famous English medium Doris Stokes was such a person. Her gift materialised through her hearing ability.
There are a small minority of exceptionally gifted mediums whose facial expressions and voices change as they deliver their messages.
A female medium may sound masculine and take on the physical attributes of male energy.
The many great spiritual masters we have had through the centuries possessed wonderful qualities of mediumship and the ability to alter their physical state or produce manifestational changes through their knowledge of matter. Jesus was able to multiply bread and fish to feed the masses; he could walk on water and change water into wine. This concept may shock and insult your personal concepts of biblical writings, yet you are investigating the afterlife. Jesus is a brilliant example of a messenger from God!
He appeared to his disciples three days after his passing. He was a great healer, medium and man of the times. Is his legacy one of teaching through example?
This is very controversial, I know; however, if we are to align our thoughts with the fact that there is an afterlife and we leave our physical case, the human body, with the soul leaving to venture to heaven, or the afterlife, isn’t that what the Bible says happened to Jesus when he died?
I have witnessed my qigong master, Zhao, stand on raw eggs in their shells. The eggs were cracked open afterwards and poured into a container as proof of what he had accomplished. A manipulation of his energy was needed through much training and discipline to accomplish such a task. So too, Saint Germain, reputed to be one of the greatest alchemists of our times, knew of this secret.
Likewise the Indian master, Sai Baba, produced in his hands the ashen-like substance, verbuti. Of course, there are sceptics who say magic and sleight of hand delivers these results and that there is no such thing as people being able to communicate with the dead. So where does that leave Jesus’ appearance after the third day? If we are taught to pray to a God or deity that we can’t see, yet believe our prayers and requests will be heard and many will be answered, then why can’t we believe that through the correct channels we will be able to access the afterlife?
Psychic protection techniques
Just as there is light, so there is dark. If we didn’t have the darkness, we wouldn’t strive to be closer to Godliness. You need to be mindful that we do not wish to attract Spirit visitations where there are lower frequency individuals—spirits who, when they lived on the earth plane, were deceptive to down right evil—who will try and jump in where, literally, angels fear to tread, influence your daily tasks, mimic people you know and lead you off in wrongful directions. Just as hygiene should be part of your daily ritual, now you need to incorporate psychic protection into your daily routine.
There are books written specifically for psychic protection techniques, with extensive information and workings, so I will just explain what works best for me on a daily and weekly basis. Not all of these techniques will be applicable for you. Just as a person who has false teeth will use a different cleaning method to a person who has natural teeth, the end result will still be clean teeth. The same is true with psychic protection.
Working through from morning to sleep, these are a few solutions and approaches you may like to try.
Aromatherapy, sandalwood oil
I recommend one that has minimal or no chemical residues. Place a small drop at the back of each ankle, inside the pulse point of both wrists, at the nape of the neck, the top of the crown of the head in the hair and on the third eye position, the space between the eyebrows. Be careful not to get this in your eyes as it can sting. This creates a psychic protection circuit around your body. It’s similar to applying fabric protection to your new lounge, the stains won’t soak in. This will discourage negative energy to seep into your energy field. It can be reapplied during the day.
Crystal protection
Amethyst is the crystal of tranquil dreaming. It symbolises intuition and is a natural choice for psychic opening and intuitive work. Its high frequencies act as a barrier against lower energies, making it a protective tool against psychic or spiritual attack. It activates the higher mind, allowing one to gain a clearer comprehension and understanding of the dynamics and root causes of life experiences. It is crucial, prior to using any crystal, to wash the stone under cold running water to cleanse any negative energy.
Wear amethyst as a pendant or on a charm bracelet, or for babies and young children, hang it as a mobile over their crib or bed for protection and as an aid for sweet dreams. You can also place an amethyst crystal next to your bed for protection. It’s essential that amethyst jewellery is unhampered by a solid backing, allowing the stone to convey to the wearer its full energies as it nestles against the skin. All these attributes can be found in my signature jewellery piece, Spirit of God.
In this piece, the perfect equilateral triangle symbolises Mind, Body and Spirit or the Trinity and is housed inside a circle, representing God—no beginning, no end—encompassing the whole person, the whole of humanity, the whole Cosmos. Within the circle lies a bezel-set facetted Brazilian amethyst gemstone. Amethyst engenders communion and communication with one’s guides and angels. See www.georginawalker.com.
Gold light technique
Imagine you’re surrounded by gold light, from the top of your head to the souls of your feet. This allows protection of your aura— the energy field that surrounds your being. Many psychics recommend surrounding yourself with white light, especially when in a situation of fear, but remember the lower frequencies or dark forces are attracted to the light or white. Purple or blue would be favoured in these circumstances of fear. The gold light can be used multiple times during the day to refresh or protect your energy field.
Salt
You know how good you feel after a dip in the ocean? The salt purifies and takes away negative energy, making you feel alive and refreshed. If this is unavailable to you, a good substitute is rubbing a salt scrub over your body under the shower or in the bath, placing a cup of salt in your bath, or placing a cup of salt in a bucket of warm or cold water and soaking your feet for 40 minutes. Make sure the water is not discarded in the kitchen sink, where food is prepared; we don’t need vegetables stained with negativity. Place salt in containers or bowls made of glass, ceramic, wood or shell, just not plastic or metal, and place under tables, beds or office desks—anywhere that seems to be an energy drain or where there are negative individuals. The negative energies will be drawn to the salt container. Empty the salt down the toilet once a week and refill.
Sage or smudge stick
We have American Indians to thank for sage’s contribution to warding off negative energies. At the end of each week, I sit down with a lit sage stick, and work in an anticlockwise direction from my head to the souls of my feet. At times I feel the negative energy lift off my body’s aura. For those who find sage too pungent, you can use lavender. When smudging your home or a room, have a window or door open to allow negative energies to escape. If you have spirit visitors who you wish to move on, this works wonders. Don’t forget, you can also command a spirit to leave by saying, ‘Please leave, and go to the light’. The use of oil burners using lavender or sage are appropriate, just watch small children near naked flames. My neighbours always know I’m awake when they smell my favourite Nag Champa incense burning—smoke dispels lower energies.
Water
At the conclusion of my reading day, I have a shower and wash my hair, allowing the water to wash away any build-up of negative energies I may have accumulated. Then I change into a complete set of clean clothes. My ironing person just loves me—he’s never out of work! Residues of negative energies can be trapped in the pores of our skin and on our clothes. A glass of water will also absorb negativity: It can be a great solution for an office full of stress and can be easily left on a desk or table without anyone the wiser. Never d
rink this water though, or use it on plants, because you’ll be allowing this negative residue to feed your body or your plants. If you’re accustomed to having a drink of water by your bed, place a saucer or lid on the glass.

The priest and the medium
A heart needs only its own voice to do what is right.
Vanna Bonta
My eldest son, Andrew, attended a Catholic college. Early one morning, I had a very vivid dream that I had to give a message to the head teaching brother at the college.
The dream quoted biblical passages, and I was to give the brother courage and confidence in his abilities as a priest. Now there was no way I was going to ring or even write to a Catholic brother and perhaps bring extreme pressure to my son who attended that school.
All through the morning, I kept hearing in my mind: ‘You must deliver this message, you must’. No way, I thought. So I went shopping.
Upon my return I noticed that a portrait of Andrew in his college uniform had fallen off the picture wall. I had a whole wall full of a variety of photos of the family. No-one else had been home so I thought it was just coincidence, although deep down I was secretly thinking, ‘Surely this isn’t God or Spirit at work’.
I put the picture back up, did some work around the house then went out again. The house was left empty, again no-one else was home. Upon returning, I opened the front door, and jumped back, absolutely stunned and shocked. The photo of Andrew had not only come off the picture wall, it had made its way from the wall, around the corner, under the archway and was facing upwards towards the front door. I couldn’t miss it!
I rang my friend, Louise, who is not into conservative religions, yet she said, ‘Oh, whatever the message is to that brother, you’d better give it to him. Something’s going on in your house.’
I’d cut my finger on my writing hand, quite badly. I don’t have perfect writing at the best of times—no-one can ever read what I write—so I had an excuse again not to write to the brother.
