The name John means ‘gracious’ and the name Edward means ‘wealthy guardian’ and indeed John Edward is a composite of these attributes.
Firstly, he is a gracious person. The day we are to speak I have confused my times and am caught off guard by his call. John ever gracious, offers to ring back later. John, as his surname Edward suggests is also a guardian of a wealth of knowledge of the spiritual world that few of us are privy too.
John Edward is a psychic medium, he has preserved that ability that to an extent, most of us are born with. John says we all have a level of’openness’ and’ intuition’ when we are born but seldom retain as we become more attuned to the material world and lose that childhood connection to the extraordinary.
John’s mum was supportive of his abilities and his Dad ‘an army guy’ also came round to accept his son’s gift. With this support behind him John could explore his gifts and he did. From early on John would have an uncanny ability to be knowledgeable of family events that happened before he was born. One such example played out when he was driving with his mum one day and as they passed a particular place he recalled of his mum cutting her ankle on a broken bottle there 13 years before. There was no way John could have known this event that had happened before he was born and was never told about.
John was so in tune with the spirit world that as a child he was visited by his late grandfather and says he didn’t think there was anything unusual about this and even believed the other kids at school also had such visitations!
As an adult John worked as a ballroom dancing instructor and while studying health care administration, worked asa phlebotomist. John explains this is the person ‘who sticks needles into people as painlessly as possible’ at this point I remark to John that this job was not so different to his present occupation. While his former job required him to extract a physical component from a person with as little pain as possible he now extracts pain from those suffering emotionally and spiritually. John says that in all the interviews he has done no one has ever made that association before but he agrees with it.
Now that John’s audience is so large he can’t do the plethora of personal readings that are requested so his public appearances and readings help make up for this, as does his website which offers books and tapes that satisfy a spiritual need.
Whether you believe or don’t believe in the work of psychics and mediums, or indeed in a spiritual dimension, John believes in the importance of starting a dialogue as everyone at some stage faces questions of spirituality.
You can see John when he appears in Tasmania with his ‘Crossing Over’ forum at the Derwent Entertainment Centre at 7pm on November 12.
