Acknowledgments

Special thanks to my parents, Seymour and Helen Farber, who have always been my champions. Dad, thanks for continuing to help from the other side, particularly for inspiring me to revisit The Seymour Agency. Thanks to my husband, Jeff, for being my best friend and supporting me on yet another endeavor, and my children for putting up with me while I wrote this book and not minding too much having such a weird mother.

Thank you to Dr. Dorothy Martin-Neville for telling me I could be a medium and Rita Berkowitz for teaching me how. Thanks to Kitty Woud and Eileen Davies for loving support in my mediumship development. Thanks to members of our circle for sitting with me, allowing me to share our stories, and especially to Mary, Marcy, and Becky, for so many years together. Thanks to everyone who has given me the opportunity to spread love and healing to both worlds through readings and demonstrations. Thanks to my students for allowing me to share the wonders of mediumship. Thank you to all my teachers on both sides of the veil, for love, support, and guidance.

Thanks to Julie Lucey, and Gerald and Marion Lichtenstein for proofreading my initial book proposal. Thanks to Noelle Tkacz and Ellie Luisi for being my second (and third) pair of eyes. Thank you to Tina Wainscott, my agent, for taking a chance on me and helping me cope with commas. Thank you to Angela Wix, my editor, for bringing this book to its full potential, and Llewellyn Worldwide for supportively embracing a new author.

Dedicated to my mom and dad

Disclaimer

Not everybody has the ideal emotional strength and stability to be a medium. Good mental health, including a strong connection to reality, is vital. People with certain types of mental illness, including clinical depression or psychosis, are advised to consult a healthcare provider or spiritual mentor before pursing mediumship development.

Do not engage in mediumship when youre feeling physically, mentally, emotionally, or spiritually unhealthy. Do not practice mediumship while depressed, drained, seriously sleep-deprived, or emotionally unstable, nor while drunk or under the influence of mind-altering drugs.

Expressing belief in a supportive and healing afterlife is not to be misconstrued as in any way advocating suicide. Suicide is not a solution to lifes problems. If you or someone you know is considering suicide, please call the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline at 1-800-273-8255 in the United States. Outside of the United States, contact the International Association for Suicide Prevention (IASP) at https://www.iasp.info/resources/Crisis_Centres/.

Neither the publisher nor the author takes any responsibility for any possible consequences that may result from the readers use of content contained in this publication and recommends common sense when contemplating the practices described in this book.
