: Top Lessons Ive Learned from Dead People

Introduction

I stand at my front door watching my client walk to her car. As she turns to give me a small wave goodbye, I reassure her I will help her and tell her once more that I know everything will be better than okay. I step back into my house, close the front door, and take a deep cleansing breath its only Wednesday morning and Ive already met with nine people this week and seven of them are struggling the way I did in my past.

My name is Lisa Anne Rooney, and I am a medium. I see and talk to dead people. I cant remember a time I didnt see spirits, but it took me a very long time to accept and deal with my gifts, using them to enhance my life rather than cause constant struggle.

Every day I am reminded that I need to help these and many more people out there in the world who dont have a clue why they feel the way they do. These people usually dont know what is happening to them but know they feel off, or they have an idea whats going on but arent sure how or if they can even connect to their abilities.

I have been doing sessions professionally for many years, and what Ive learned is that I seemed to attract clients who are gifted but not using their abilities, just as I didnt. At some point, I realized that I needed to create a tool for them. My clients are the type of people who do not necessarily want to go join a spiritual group or church but realize that in order to be balanced, they must get a grip on their abilities. This is what ultimately led me to write this book. I fought my abilities and turned away from them as much as I could, but when I finally did start working on them and balanced myself, it changed my whole life. I am driven to help people and give them techniques and tools to use to connect to their abilities so they do not make the same mistakes I did.

There really are many reasons why I didnt realize it or believe I had special abilities, not in the least because I struggled with my reality of seeing and hearing dead people. One of the major reasons I struggled is the obviouspeople would think Im nuts! As a young child, I was terrified of the dead people I saw and didnt tell anyone what was happening because I knew people wouldnt believe me, and I also was raised Catholic where talking to the dead is a sinthe devils work. I thought it was best to suffer in silence, and as I grew up, my search became how to turn it off and control it. I was able to find a mentor, but to my surprise, lessons were more about honing my abilities, not shutting them off. But even with honing my abilities I still didnt see or understand the purpose of it all. Why should anyone be able to see the dead? What good is it? Its not like the spirits are here to give us lotto numbers (although maybe there are a few cases). Sometimes spirits have nothing to say but Hello, Im here and when they do have messages, a majority of the time they are obscure, representing only a tiny piece of the whole puzzle of our lives. A lot of times, messages make no sense in the moment we receive them, but the good news is that Spirit often gives us messages we need to hear today in order to get to tomorrow or a few days from now.

The craziest part for me is that I really only learned to balance myself through my unwillingness to accept my abilities. Without those struggles and lessons I learned along my journey to find a meaning to it all, I wouldnt be at a place in my life where Im able to help others hone their abilities, balance their lives, and use their gifts to be able to empower themselves and be everything they want to be.

My goal with this book is to bring a different approach to the spiritual world through humor, fun techniques, and practices. I will show you how we all can be balancedbody, mind, and soul. In my struggle to stay normal and average, I learned that there is nothing normal or average about any of us. We are all extraordinary, if only we would just realize and believe it.
