Psychic – Sylvia Browne

I have no reason why, but amongst a world of well known psychic mediums, I have never really connected with Sylvia Browne.  In actual fact she was the one medium that I never bothered about in the slightest.  I have never seen/read any of her interviews or programs.  I just wasn’t interested in her at all.

But recently I was given a copy of her new book ‘Psychic – My Life in Two Worlds’ (ISBN 978-0-06-196672-9) released earlier this year.  So I thought I would give it a go.

I was expecting the same type of content as the likes of Allison DuBois,  John Edward ecetera… but I was pleasantly surprised by Sylvia Browne.

Her life story from birth to the present time is written in a matter of fact way.  She hasn’t had a smooth ride in life, but she doesn’t lay any blame.  It is the way she instinctively moves on to the next stage.

She goes from being the daughter of an adoring father and mentally ill mother, marriage to an  abusive husband. divorcee, bankruptcy and then round the circuit again.  All these true life crisis whilst still trying to come to terms with her natural abilities.

It was thought provoking read, especially to a woman who has survived living in similar circumstances.  It is also an amusing read such as the time the whole family including some elderly relatives.  When before her eyes 2 of the older relatives faces started to disintegrate.  This obviously shocked her until her Grandmother approached her gently later in the evening and said ‘it shocked me to the first time I saw that happen’.  This gave her the reassurance to carry on trying to understand her gifts.

With Psychic – My Life Between Two Worlds, even the personal family photos are interesting.  You find yourself reading about her first husband and then checking out the photos.  Just in case you can see a wicked twinkle in his eyes, some indication of his real personality,  that she may have missed.

Maybe the best thing about this book is the fact that even Psychic mediums make bad decisions in life, and in Sylvia Brownes case, it seems that she repeatedly made bad decisions.  But I am of the opinion that everything does happen for a reason and if she did not have those life experiences she would not be in the position she is now.   Even her guide, Francine, when asked her opinion used come back with useful comments such as ‘it will be alright’.  Considering on Francine has no sense of time this was never really helpful.

All in all this is a good read.  Easy going but a very good insight into one of the best know psychic mediums of our time.

Sylvia Browne I offer you my sincere apologies for my previous ignorance.  I think you can safely say that you now have one more fan.
