Law of Attraction Magazine Holiday Issue (Nov./Dec., 2018 | Page 34

you know that there must be God. I mean this is really surrendering your mind to
the possibility that there is indeed is family member spirit coming through. That is
because love never dies. Love, like life, never dies.
Jewels: Since we are coming up on the holidays many people feel the loss of their
loved ones. How can we feel better when we are missing their spirit? What would
your suggestion be?
James: The most important thing to realize is that they are there with you,
especially during the holidays. I often tell people to set an extra place setting for
the Thanksgiving dinner and have a conversation with those that have passed. At
Christmas, I'd buy them a gift and put it under the tree or for during Hanukkah. It's
really about realizing that they are not dead, they are very much alive, but you just
can't see them. I also suggest another exercise that I teach in my school, especially those who are in grief and want to
contact with someone that has passed especially during the holidays. Just write them a letter and then fold it up and put
it away in your desk and then write in your calendar, "Response" for a week later. Then sit down, take out a piece of
paper and write a letter FROM THEM to you. You will be delighted when you reread the letter.
Jewels: Now, that is a great idea! I would have never thought of that in a million years. That is so brilliant. Oh I'm
going to try that! So when you started all this, was it a natural ability or something that you developed?
James: Both. Being an authentic medium, you are born with that skill. BUT, I think that as everyone is born with the
ability to play the piano, but not everyone is a concert Pianist. You have to have that foundation first of all. But with
children it's easier for them to see colors around others or lights. I remember I was 7 years old and I was saying my
bedtime prayers and asked my Mother who are all those people with light' on them? And she said "Oh those are God's
angels. You see them too? I saw them too when I was a little girl. Don't be afraid of them. They are there to help you
and they are loving." So I experienced that as a child and then it stopped in my teenage years which other things
happening like puberty and my mind was elsewhere....
Later I wanted to be a sitcom writer and I went to California after living in New York to go to San Francisco State
University. I received a broadcasting degree and to make a long story short, ended up in Los Angeles where a sold a
few scripts. But then I worked for a talent agency (temporary job), and a lady asked if I wanted to go see a medium and
I said... "Oh, i know what that is... it's where you talk to dead people, right?" She asked... "You don't believe in that? I
told her that I have a sense of it.
Well, I went and met this gentleman front England and he said, "Oh you a re a medium," and I said "What????" So he
said to me in two years time, Spirit is going to use me as a medium. I said, "That Is that crazy! But he did bring through
details of my love ones who had past over. So that got me FASCINATED that there is a possibility that this stuff might
be real. So I went to a book store called Bodhi Tree Bookstore that you are probably familiar with on Melrose, right?
Jewels: Absolutely, everyone knows that book store in L.A.
James: So I went every Saturday and I just pulled books out. I was like a sponge and I read things on meditation, near
death experiences, UFO and of course all this psychic stuff including life after death experiences. I ended up learning
how to meditate to visualize your future as I work with the breath. I would visualize myself as a TV producer and
writing a book.
After a bunch of temporary jobs, I ended up at Paramount Studios and one afternoon my co-worker went into her
cubicle and behind her I saw this dead lady. So this spirit lady looked right at me and she said that's my granddaughter...
"Tell her that I am alright and happy." And then she started talking about Idaho with a yellow house with white shutters
mentioned needlepoint. "Please tell her all about that"..and I thought, wow... this is WACKY! So I asked my co-worker
and she said that is my Grandmama and she told that they made a pack that when she dies that she would come back
