Interview With a Medium: Jennifer Echo

Describe how you first found out about your psychic abilities.

My first real knowledge of this was back when I was a teenager. I didn’t even know I could do this, no one really talked about it in my family. My step-father was at his hunting club, so it was just me and my mom. I decided to turn in a little early, so I stretched out and turned my light off. I happened to look up at my window, and saw a pair of red glowing eyes, staring at me through it. At first I played it off, thinking that it was my alarm clock. I covered it up with a shirt, then looked again. Those eyes were still there! I turn on the light, they disappeared. Turn the light off, they were there. I looked all around my room, trying to figure it out.

I called my mom into my room, asking her if she saw anything. She said she didn’t, and this made me feel nervous. Only I could see it? Really? I wonder why that is, and we searched outside. No sight of anything out there, yet I could feel something or someone watching me. It was so weird! I told my mom what I was seeing, and that’s when she sighed and said she had something to tell me. She then told me that my dad used to be able to “See” things. I asked her a few questions, and it turned out everything I was starting to go through actually runs in my father’s family. Wow! I will never forget that day as long as I lived. Ever since then, strange things kept happening.

What have you done to develop your abilities?

I had no training at all growing up. I had to learn everything by myself. My mother’s family didn’t have a clue how to help, in fact some of them worried that I was possessed. Trying to go to church, asking questions to the pastor or preacher didn’t really help either. Most of them would look at me and say my gift was not from God. I would then talk to my mother, who was my biggest friend and fan, and she would say that it was indeed a gift, because I was using it to help others. She said that since all I want to do with my gift was to help others, then God was behind me all the way. That really made me feel so much better. As far as training, my gift came automatically. I would feel what you would call a “Psychic Tug”, and feel this pull towards someone or something. Once I was near the right person, I would get all this information to tell them. Sometimes I would feel like a place is calling me. Once I went to a place that called me, and I felt so much grief and sadness that I cried too. The spirits that were there were needing someone to help them to cross over. Once I helped them, they were able to safely cross. At times, I would use a regular pack of playing cards to help me see things clearly.

Describe your skills.

Good question to ask. My gift allows me to help those that have lost someone they love to get that final closure, knowing that they were loved and are being watched over. Sometimes I help when it comes to planning out goals and dreams. I am what I would call a “Life Coach” for the living. Sometimes people just need a really good friend to talk to that would understand them and not judge them. My tools are my heart and my spirit. I can sometimes channel the dead, but I can talk to them quite a bit. I can tune in to other people’s frequencies, and tell them what I see in their life that needs attention. Sometimes I help find lost things or lost people. I have been known to give anonymous information on a missing person or child. I can be an automatic writer, having received many messages this way. When I need further guidance, I can either use a special deck of cards or my own I Ching. I try not to use the I Ching, because I want the reading to be from the spirits themselves, not anything else. Once I connect to people, we tend to be best friends forever, and we always work together. I can look at a picture, meditate on it, and see things from the past, present, or future. I can hold items in my hands and know things too.

Can you communicate with spirits who have passed on?

Yes I can. When I was a kid, I used to have tea parties with my brother. He passed away before I was born. He always seemed to look like a little red-haired boy about 5 years old. Since being a teenager, my grandfather on my mother’s side has always been there, watching over me. I can tell when they are angry or upset, lonely, or spiteful. My older brother checks in on my from time to time too, and he passed away in 2013. As far as on-demand, no, I wouldn’t think so. You see, they come to me for help. Sometimes with a message to give to someone, sometimes just to be seen. I have what I call a 3rd eye, which allows me to see them on a ghostly plain. Sometimes they jump in me to tell others things.

Are you able to turn your psychic abilities ‘on’ or ‘off’ when you want to?

I wish I knew how to do that, but I don’t. I haven’t found an “off” switch yet. I tend to keep chocolate on me at all times because they do drain me quite a bit. Have you ever been at a funeral, tying to play cool and all, and saw the dead person sitting on their coffin, watching you? I have, and I tried my best not to laugh. Just because someone is dead doesn’t mean they lose their personality. When it comes to normal life, I still have to deal with it. Grocery shopping, going to the library, no matter what it is, my gift is always on.

What is life like living with these abilities?

Sometimes it’s a blessing, because I am helping people. Sometimes it’s a curse, because it always backfires when I try to use it for my own personal use. If I use it to help others, then I am truly blessed because I am able to give someone peace. Trying to turn it off is a problem. On the difficulty side, it gets to me when I am in a public place, trying to look normal. I would be standing in the library looking at something and notice the lady looking at me that had passed away in a fire. Or go to the courthouse to renew my tag, only to notice the 9 men and 3 women that were hung there. See what I mean now? It does help though when someone needs help and I can give them some happiness.

Do you think anyone can develop psychic skills?

That depends on the person. You have to remain open-minded, having the want to do good things. You can’t be a closed book on it. Everyone has a special gift within them, it’s up to them to realize it and use it. Some people get “feelings” about things, but tend to say it was their instincts. Maybe even women’s intuition. There are always teachers that are willing to teach people how to hone their skills.

What do you like best about working with PsychicNetworkers?

Because I can help others that may need it, and reach a broader base of people who may need my help. All I have ever wanted to do was to help others. This is my gift and my legacy. With PsychicNetworkers, I have a great job doing what I love the most. How many people in this world can say that?

Do you get readings for yourself?

I have had readings before, and they told me that my life would end up strange until I realize what my purpose was. I was even told I was pregnant with a little girl. All of this was true, and I was so super happy. As far as reading myself, I cannot, although I wish I could. I do tend to get flashes of things to come, which ends up being deja vu later on. I would think I am easy to read, if I let my guard down. While my guard is up, it’s hard for others to read me.

When looking for a reader to help me, I want to find someone with compassion and heart, loving, giving, and honest. I want to find someone who is most like me, and would want to help others.

Is there anything else you would like to share about your abilities?

I am a person full of love and joy, willing to help anyone that I can with all of my heart and abilities. I am a people person, and love it when I can connect with someone on a spiritual way. You know that feeling when you are teaching, and a kid finally gets it what you were trying to teach them? That’s how I feel when I make that connection with a person. I love that “click” and we bond over that subject.
