This book is dedicated to my family, fans, and loved ones in spirit. I couldnt pick just one person because I love you all so much. All of you played a role in helping to get me where I am today. So here goes
- Grandma Mary: Thank you for the many visits from the spirit world and for always guiding me and leading me to my spiritual path.
- Poppy: Thank you for coming with me to so many of my shows and being so supportive. I will never forget our car rides together and how proud you were to see me do what I love.
- Mom: Thank you for loving me and helping me find my own psychic voice. It was with your love and encouragement that I found my strength on the world stage.
- Dad: Thank you for putting your own beliefs aside so that you could love and support me with who I am. It is because of you that I can face even the toughest skeptics.
- Maria: Thank you for being my best friend and being here right alongside me during this crazy ride. Thank you for putting so much on hold so that you could help me achieve my psychic dream.
- My Fans and Followers: Thank you for trusting me with delivering messages from your loved ones in spirit. It is because of you that I am where I am today. Thank you for recommending me and being so loyal. I will not let you down.
- Team Fraser: Thank you to everyone on my spiritual team. I want to thank my CFO, publicist, LA marketing team, drivers, and PAs who allow me to do what I do best. You know who you are.
- The Skeptics: Thank you for testing and challenging me. It was because of you that I realized I had to look deeper into my ability and work hard. You made me realize that now its more important than ever that my messages are heard.
- Sharon and Anthony and Theo and Ava: Thank you for accepting me into your family and also for supporting me. Its not every day that your daughter/sister is in a relationship with a psychic medium. Having your blessing is a beautiful feeling.
- Last But Never LeastAlexa: I cannot thank you enough for being right here by my side. Thank you for traveling with me across the country, waiting for me at home after a show, and all the little things you do like having a coffee ready for me to wake up to the morning of a big show. Thank you for the endless love and kindness that you show me every day. Thank you for being my rock when life gets overwhelming, and reminding me how special I am.
FOREWORD A Message from Matts Longtime Publicist
O ne day my life was changed forever. I received an email from a young psychic medium named Matt Fraser. He had heard good things about me and thought I would do great PR campaigns for him and put him in the news so he could help more people.
When we spoke, he explained that he was currently an EMT working in security at the Boston Seaport Hotel and World Trade Center. Matt had my total undivided attention as he spontaneously gave me messages from my deceased dad, Murray. Apparently, my dad knew the exact challenges I was experiencing in my marriage and with both of my sons. I hadnt shared any of this online. In fact, I had kept it all hidden, trying to deal with it in secret.
Talking with Matt was five minutes of total surprise. First I was crying, then laughing. My dad has a sense of humor even in heaven! That was it; I was all in.
Matt later explained that his deceased grandmother Mary, who was also a psychic medium, suggested he contact me. I owe his grandma Mary a huge thank-you!
Everything about Matt is extraordinary: his gift of psychic medium abilities to do readings, to see visions like in a movie, to hear messages with names and specific details, to feel the illnesses that a departed loved one died from, to offer the listener comfort, and show them that love is eternal. His abilities continue to astound me. He has the highest integrity, and I am so very honored to have received the call that lifted up my spirit and has allowed me to help him reach millions.
Although you may see Matt on TV shows or listen to him give radio readings to total strangers who call in with only a first name, or read an article in a magazine or see a video online, it is only part of what he does. Behind the scenes, camera crews and producers frequently get readings when Matt walks by them and a loved one in heaven appears before him, asking to share information that will ease a family members sorrow or confusion.
On radio shows, staff members line the hallways asking Matt for messages. He has even worked with several detectives to help solve crimes. He often does charity events to help the causes dear to his heart. Despite it all, Matt enjoys life and is a deeply devoted family man who has a highly developed sense of humor and is constantly seeing the positive in life.
I think you will find Matts book to be surprising and highly entertaining. This is his true life story, and I hope you are comforted by the touching moments and energized by the compassion and humor detailed within these pages. As Matt always says, Love is eternal and everlasting.
Best,
Imal Wagner
CHAPTER 1 Heaven Calls!
HANG ON, SPIRIT; I HAVENT HAD MY COFFEE YET!
People not in the habit of chatting with the dead have a hard time imagining what my life must be like. Based on some of the comments and questions I receive, Im pretty sure they think I spend most of my day sitting cross-legged in a trance, maybe hovering a few inches off the ground, leaving Rhode Island and my physical body behind as I journey across the veil to the spirit realm, before making a quick stop at a psychic tearoom to read coffee grounds and gaze into a crystal ball.
Its really not like that at all. The real Matt Fraser is just an ordinary guy who just so happens to speak to dead people. I am an open book and I am happy to share a typical day in a not-so-ordinary life.
Its eight a.m., and the alarm buzzes. Im not a morning person so I start the day hitting snooze seven or eight times. Staying in bed isnt an option with three or four public events per week, private readings every afternoon, and frequent appearances on TV and radio shows. Sometimes my schedule is so hectic I forget what day of the week it is or what city I will even be visiting. I try to motivate myself by starting the day with a song. I love all kinds of music, but nothing gets me going like old disco and pop; yeah, I guess you can say I am an old soul. Ive programmed a special mix just for mornings. Today its Manic Monday by The Bangles, followed by Gloria Gaynor belting out I Will Survive. Okay, Gloria, Im awake now!
