Why Mediums Should Keep Their Eyes Open When They Work
Most mediums close their eyes when they work, and most beginners assume that's how it's done. A working medium suggests, gently but firmly, that it's the wrong way to do it.

Here's the case for switching to eyes-open, why it's uncomfortable at first, and what your work will feel like once the change settle

Why Your Spirit Guides Sound Like You
Ever tried to communicate with your spirit guides and only heard your own voice in your head? Almost everyone has, and almost everyone has assumed it means they're making it up. They're not. The voice sounds like yours because that's how spirit guide communication actually works. A working medium explains why the voice is supposed to sound like yours, what spirit guides actually are, and why this is good news rather than evidence you don't have access.
