How Joe Kicked Me Out of the Spiritual Closet
Hello beautiful soul,
Welcome to the Spirits Are Talking blog, my name is Lisa Silverman. I’m an intuitive, evidential psychic medium, animal communicator, and certified oracle card reader. Not only that, I’m an energy mover and shaker, healer, and spiritual coach.
Yes, I said it loud and proud! I’m totally WOO-WOO and out of the spiritual closet.
Since I was a child, I have had the ability to see, feel, and hear energy. I would always hear my loved ones that had passed over. At the time, I thought that this was normal. It was only in the last four years that I got cracked open so deeply, that I could not ignore it any longer. I had been given the gift, so I decided to hone my skills and use them for the highest good. This became my life purpose: to help others heal from grief and heartache.
It is through me that I connect to the divine energy source, enabling me to channel the energies of past loved ones and events; this allows me to give clear and comforting messages. Tapping into this energy not only changes lives, it promotes everlasting love. I am on this planet for a reason: to mend one heart at a time.
This is how my personal and professional spiritual journey began…
Four-and-a-half years ago, I woke up to a broken iPhone. I was not happy to say the least. Running to the phone store was far from my list of priorities that day, but I knew it was something I had to do. Eventually, I wound up at an Apple store in a nearby mall. It was a location that I typically didn’t visit.
As I walked into the mall, I heard this voice say, “Hey gorgeous!” Without hesitation, I turned around to see who was calling out to me. Surprisingly, I didn’t see anyone. Then, I heard the voice again, “Hey beautiful soul.” I began looking around, scanning in every direction. I said out loud, “Am I on Candid Camera?” I continued to hear this strange man’s voice loud and clear. Yet, I still didn’t see anyone.
I then realized that the man’s voice was communicating spirit to spirit, heart to heart. He says to me as clear as day, “I need you to go talk to my daughter. She works at the Apple store.” I was confused and curious, thinking to myself: “What’s going on? Are you kidding me? Is this really happening to me?”
Suddenly, the voice loudly called out, “Lisa, you got this…anytime, anyplace, anywhere. YOU ARE A PSYCHIC MEDIUM. You can do this anywhere. You need to own this gift now.” And so, it began. He proceeded to tell me his name was Joe and that he needed me to talk to his daughter. Joe noted that it was going to “take a lot of energy for me to reach you, but I’m going to direct you to her. Don’t worry, I’ll be there to guide the start of the conversation, but I need you to go with the flow…listen to my words and the tone of my voice.”
Meanwhile, I waited at the Genius Bar with my broken phone. I wasn’t in the best mood and I felt a lot of energy swarming around, including this ‘Joe’ who insisted that I talk to his daughter. Finally, I was next in line to be helped. This adorable worker, a gal named Stephanie, was directed over to assist me. We started to talk and suddenly, she brought up the topic of loss, just as the voice had told me she would. That was my cue. I politely asked, “By any chance did you lose your dad not too long ago?” Stephanie quickly replied, “Yes.” With this confirmation, I said confidently to her, “I know this is crazy, but I am a medium!” For the first time ever, I had claimed it. I was a medium. Wow!
This man’s spirit had prompted me to open my mouth and blurt those three words out. “I am a medium.” It was at that very moment that I owned it without hesitation. Boom! My life had profoundly changed. After the initial shock, I said to Stephanie, “I have your father standing here, right beside you, and he wants to give you some messages. Would that be okay?”
While I waited for her response, Joe was in my head talking up a storm. He was so excited to connect with his daughter. She agreed with tears in her eyes. I felt nothing but pure love, joy, and grace. I did a blessing to create a sacred space between us; our guardian angels were also there to protect and facilitate the flow of communication.
While I had natural psychic abilities, I had never communicated with or provided messages for someone else’s loved one on the other side. This was the first time that I had channeled for a stranger, who I knew absolutely nothing about.
As we continued the reading, Joe said to me, “Tell my daughter I’ve been gone for three years and that my name is Joe.” So, I asked if any of this made sense. As tears streamed down her cheeks, Stephanie responded, “Yeah, absolutely.” Next, Joe showed me a visual picture of the New York Skyline, indicating that he was born and raised in New York. I asked his daughter if that was true and she replied, “Yes.”
I explained that, “When I channel loved ones during a reading, I can hear their thoughts, experience their feelings, and see scenery, mini clips, or snapshot images.”
Joe shared with me that he had died within two weeks of his own mother’s passing, noting that he was happy she had passed first. He then proceeded to apologize about divorcing his daughter’s mother. After relaying some other personal details, Stephanie confirmed that they were all true and accurate statements.
Joe then asked me to give a message to his son Joey. In response, I asked if he also had a brother named Joey. He confirmed, letting me know that both his son and his brother held the name, Joseph III. He took pride and honor in his lineage, explaining to me that, “My dad is Joseph, I am Joe, and my son is Joey.”
At this point in the reading, Joe’s gregarious energy began to come through. He wanted me to ask Stephanie about the pennies. So I asked her if she was finding pennies on the ground a lot lately. She replied, “I find pennies all the time, in the most random spots, like in the middle of my floor, out of nowhere, or sitting right in my car seat waiting for me!” Then Joe started singing this song, “Pennies, pennies from heaven…” As I sang this song to her, she started to cry again; it was a song that he would often sing to her while she was growing up.
Joe also knew that Stephanie was going to have a baby and he was very insistent on having her move away from her current residence. I proceeded to ask if she was planning on moving, because “Joe is telling me that he does not like the place you’re living at.” She instantly replied, “Yes, I’m moving in a few weeks.”
Through channeling, I was able to communicate Joe’s message to his daughter Stephanie. He wanted her to know that he was around all the time and that he loved her so much. He always stayed connected and never missed the important things. He even mentioned a few specific events that only made sense to her. Not only that, he made some predictions for his daughter’s future, two of which actually came true!
This adorable gal, who was only there to assist me in fixing my phone, ended up in a deep conversation with me and her dad. By the end of it, she felt a great sense of relief and healing. In awe of what happened, I walked out of the Apple store with a new phone, a feeling of immense gratitude, and the sense that love was all around me.
Seven months later, I received a call from Stephanie. She had successfully moved and was expecting a baby within the next few months. Excitingly, she wanted to book a full session with me! Compared to our first reading, the second one was filled with even more information, revelations, and messages; some being from other relatives wanting to connect.
Since that encounter, I have opened up to my abilities and channeling for others. Knowing that I could not take this calling lightly, I dove right in and kept learning! For years, I have studied with some of the world’s best psychic mediums, healers, and teachers. To date, I have had the opportunity to reconnect hundreds of people with their loved ones on the other side. It has been an absolute privilege to share their beautiful, accurate, heartfelt, and healing messages.
I owe so much to Joe for telling me to “own my gifts and share them with others.” This was a very special encounter, one that I’ll never forget. Joe changed my life, and fortunately, he is still my guide. Every now and then, he continues to kick me in the butt, pushing me further and further out of the spiritual closet. I am forever grateful for Joe, his daughter Stephanie, and the beautiful messages from spirit; all of which validate the gift I have within.
Like Joe said, “I got this.” It is a journey of the soul and my soul purpose is to do this energy work. We all suffer from loss at different stages in our lives, some more deeply than others. Based on the readings that I have done so far, there is one thing I know with great certainty: Our loved ones live on. They want us to be happy on this earth.
Whenever you have an aha-moment, you desire confirmation, or you feel the need to connect with spirit, I invite you to book a session with me online! I also recommend you check out the testimonials on my website. I know that you will gain the clarity you need, while having an uplifting and healing experience.
Remember, anytime that we unite with loved ones, magic unfolds. With that, I look forward to connecting with you on this beautiful journey!
