Do Dead People Walk Their Dogs? by Concetta Bertoldi Read Free Book Online

me in open contact with God and the Other Side is to practice meditation. Finding some time in your day to quiet yourself, breathe deeply, and open yourself to that connection can be really helpful. In a focused way, express the desire to be in contact with your guides. Maybe visualize yourself opening a window to let in the Other Side.
    Basically, we need to practice awareness. We need to tune in to the instincts God gave us, listen for the little voice that runs alongside our own in our head, pay attention to the different feelings we get in our body that inform us of other levels of truth going on around us all the time. Even though there can be a playful nature to our psychic abilities they aren’t primarily for our amusement. The main reason we have this is for our protection and our soul growth: in other words, to learn our lessons. A classic example would be if you are in a shop and your own mind is telling you something like, “The manager just walked into the backroom. I could put those earrings in my pocket, pay for my chewing gum, and walk out—nobody the wiser, and I’ve got a cute new pair of earrings.” Then that other voice that is there to protect and teach you says, “Don’t do it, honey. You don’t need ’em that bad. Even if you don’t get caught, they’ll always remind you of a moment when you were dishonest and you will never enjoy them.”
    Even if you don’t think you are especially psychic, virtually every single person can think of at least a few times when they had a strong feeling that they needed to avoid a certain person or stay away from a particular place or situation. This feeling was nothing more or less than their sixth sense, what some call ESP (extra-sensory perception), which essentially is a form of being psychic, but instead of cautioning us about our own behavior, it’s warning us about someone else’s behavior. I can think of several occasions where I used this very ordinary kind of ESP in my own life.
    For example, sometime before I went public I was working at a famous sporting goods store. There was a guy, Willy, who worked in the service department. I always got a vibe from him that he was a little odd. I knew there was something wrong with him, but didn’t know exactly what. It bothered me, but there was nothing I could do about it since he always just seemed to be doing his job. One day I was driving and I saw Willy with a little boy; they were both wearing baseball uniforms. Suddenly I “knew” that Willy was a child molester. Now I was really upset, wondering what I could do. I knew it, but there was no way for me to prove it. But then I heard in my head the Other Side saying to me, “A conclusion is coming.” I realized I had to just let things play out without my intervention and just trust that the right thing was going to happen. It was only a short time after that that the boy’s parents found letters written to their son. They were actually from Willy, but they were written like they were from someone else. The boy had been very, very upset by the things that Willy was doing with him and had tried to break away from him. He was refusing to see Willy and Willy was trying to get him back under his sway. The letters were along the lines of “If you don’t go with Willy, I’m going to kill your parents.” Crazy, horrible stuff. When the parents found the letters, they easily put two and two together and went to the police. Willy was picked up and pleaded no contest and went straight to jail. Granted, in this case, I had the added assurance of hearing from spirits that “a conclusion was coming,” but my original impulse—straight from the gut, garden-variety sixth sense—was that there was something not good about this person. He was poop on a plate, and now he’s where he belongs—poop behind bars!

Are children more psychic than adults?
     
    I do think this is generally true. Lots of kids have bits of memories of who they were before in other
