Jessica Messenger - When The Dead Speak: A Psychic's Journey into the Spirit Realm

What is a ghost? Is every unexplained presence the spirit of someone who has died? If consciousness survives death, how does it make itself known to the living?

In this deeply personal talk, psychic and developing medium Jessica Messenger traces her own relationship with the spirit world: from her earliest unexplained encounters and first attempts at communication, through the development of her psychic senses, to learning to work with spirit through mediumship.

Drawing on first-hand experiences of apparitions, intuitive knowing, signs, synchronicities and communication with those who have died, Jessica explores the many ways in which spirit appears to manifest. Along the way, she will explore the distinction between psychic ability and mediumship; what it actually feels like to receive information from spirit; how she has learnt to distinguish intuition, imagination and possible spirit communication; and how repeated experiences have challenged and reshaped her own understanding of death, consciousness and the spirit realm.

This isn't an attempt to prove the existence of ghosts, nor a traditional demonstration of mediumship. Instead, it is an invitation inside one person's evolving relationship with the unseen, including the experiences that convinced her to keep asking questions, the ones she still cannot answer, and what years of listening to the dead have taught her about the living.
