Mon, 11 Mar 2013 19:57:57 -0400

John Edward, a highly acclaimed psychic medium, regularly appears on internationally syndicated talk shows. A highly experienced presenter and public speaker, John Edward has become very skilled at speaking in front of large audiences, and wants everyone to know that, with a little practice and confidence, they can too.

• Know the needs of your audience and your material. Match your content to what your audience needs to hear, and share your information in an order that makes sense.
• Use body language, visual aids, or props to enhance your speech.
• Maintain eye contact and avoid reading from your notes for a prolonged period of time.
• Dress appropriately!
• Speak slowly, enunciate, and show an appropriate level of feeling and emotion.
• Project your voice. When you speak, aim your voice at the person farthest away from where you are presenting.
• Add humor when possible and appropriate.
• Keep to any time limits in place.
• Practice, practice, practice. Try recording your speech so that you can watch and listen to yourself. This will allow you to identify any modifications you may want to make to your body language, pace, voice inflection, or any other elements of your presentation.

Many religious and spiritual traditions use prayer beads. These beads typically serve as counters, helping people keep track of prayer rituals.

1. Rosary: One of the best-known forms of prayer beads is the Catholic rosary. Rosaries are organized into decades—10 small beads for prayers, as well as larger beads for counting decades. The most common rosary contains five decades and 59 beads, as well as a cross and a centerpiece. A Franciscan rosary contains seven decades, while a chaplet contains one.

For non-Catholics, the Anglican rosary contains four weeks of seven beads, as well as large counter beads between each week.

2. Mala: Buddhists and Hindus use a form of prayer beads called the mala. The typical mala contains 108 beads plus a large bead known as a guru. The beads are traditionally made from seeds or carved bone, although modern malas may contain gemstones or other types of beads.

3. Subha: The prayer beads for the Muslim faith, Subha contain 99 beads associated with the 99 attributes of God, as well as a terminal bead reserved for reciting the name of Allah.

What is a Medium? By John Edward

Sun, 25 Nov 2012 19:20:27 -0500

Mediums separate themselves from other spiritual practitioners who deal with communication with the afterlife by establishing a much stronger connection between the two planes, forming a literal bridge of the worlds. Through this connection, the medium can establish a dialogue of sorts with a multitude of beings including the deceased, and sometimes even celestial beings, angels, demons, and nature spirits.

The way a medium operates varies from practitioner to practitioner, some engaging in a trance state where they shut off from the world around them, often not recalling any of the events that transpired while the trance was in effect. Others might use their own body as an instrument, allowing a temporary possession to take place so that the spirit may speak through the medium openly. Either method, as well as several others, is seen as valid in the psychic world.

John Edward, an established psychic and author of Crossing Over, practices mediumship to connect with the other side.

World Religions: An Introduction to the Spiritual Traditions of the World, by John Edward

A religion is a system of belief that seeks to explain the “big” questions. How was the Earth or the universe created, and why? Why is there human suffering, and can it be avoided or fixed? What is life, and what is death? Does the spirit transcend death? If so, what happens after the spirit crosses over to the Other Side? These are all questions that religion and spirituality attempt to answer.

There are many spiritual traditions and formal religions in this world. In fact, there is often a unique tradition for each geographical area. We know, of course, of Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, and likely various other religions. The important thing to remember is not that which divides us, but that which brings us together spiritually. We are all trying to find answers to the same important questions. We should not let our various faiths, which often preach peace and tolerance, become impenetrable walls between us.

John Edward: The Value of Premonitions

Fri, 15 Jun 2012 13:45:55 -0400

People who experience premonitions do not always know whether to trust them. They may not understand why a certain image or vision came to them. Yet, premonitions often bring positive results. They can serve as warnings of negative events or protect people from possible dangers. They can also guide individuals toward choosing certain life paths.

In one case, a woman foresaw her husband in a worship service with another female. While she and her husband enjoyed a happy marriage, she felt unsettled by the image. A few years later, she became severely ill and passed away. Her husband remarried a woman who matched the description of the person in his first wife’s premonition, and he derived greater satisfaction from his second marriage than his first.

Often, families pass stories like this throughout the generations. People feel something that leads them to predict events or sense the spirits of deceased loved ones. These experiences can benefit the individuals who have them, as well as the people with whom they share the premonitions.

Next time you are with your family, you may want to start a conversation about premonitions and whether anyone has experienced them. Did they come true? What were the outcomes?

Based on Long Island, New York, John Edward connects individuals with deceased family members through his psychic abilities. A prolific author and communicator, John Edward hosts two syndicated television shows: John Edward Cross Country and Crossing Over with John Edward.
