[John] Well hello there. This is the third part of our interview with Psychic Medium Chris Medina. If you haven’t read the first part yet, you can click here if you’d like to start with it and you will find the second part here.
In Part Two we learned a lot about Chris’ personal and work ethic as a Psychic Medium, and the frustration involved with witnessing the effects of readings from those in the industry who are not always so well intentioned.
So spend some time with us now for Part Three… settle in with a yummy beverage for more of our interview with Psychic Medium Chris Medina of Platinum Predictions. (Part Four will be out soon!)
[Lana] We’re going to go back a little bit to when you had your first experience that you can recall. What was your reaction to it when you realized what was happening?
[Chris] My first memory of being psychic or knowing that I was different – I mean I’ve had stories that my father told me where I was doing readings for his friends when he would have little get-togethers at the house – but for me personally, it was when I was around three or around that age, maybe four. I had really bad asthma as a kid. I almost died – I lived in a plastic bubble for a long time. Back then it was a plastic bubble that they put you in. Feeling so weak, feeling that sick, at the age of four I just knew I was going to die. I said it out loud, ‘I want to die. I know that I’m getting ready to die.’ Then I heard it, ‘No, you’re not going to. There are things that you have to do first.’ I heard it as plain as day. That was my first experience with it. People can say that it was a near-death experience but it wasn’t. Before that happened, I would feel certain things but that is the first memory that sticks out in my head – that voice telling me ‘No. Don’t give up’.
My mind wasn’t that of a four-year-old – I don’t know if this makes sense to you but I always felt that I’ve always had this same mindset. I didn’t have the same experiences but I had the same mindset. I feel like I’ve always had it. At a young age I would just know certain things, know what people were about, know how to maneuver through certain situations as I would as an adult. I didn’t have the experience of what I was doing but I was always guided. I always felt that my mentality was so far ahead for my age. I mean, to sit there and contemplate death, contemplate my future, have visions of what’s going to come, dreams. Yeah, four years old was the first time that I knew - that I really knew - that there was something majorly different about me.
[John] And it never scared you?
[Chris] It didn’t scare me until I started feeling the spirits. I didn’t know whether they were good or whether they were bad - there was just always something here. The hairs on my neck would stand up. As soon as it was time to go to sleep I just knew ‘Oh it’s going to start’. I would sneak off into my sister’s bedroom for comfort to sleep because they would literally wake me up out of my sleep. I could hear them walking on the carpet, whispering ‘He can hear us, he sees us, this is him, this is him’.
[John] That would creep me out now let alone when I was a kid. How old were you when you first realized that you were hearing and seeing spirits?
[Chris] We had just moved into our new house so that was at the age of seven. When I went to go sneak into my sister’s room to sleep with her, I woke up because I felt something and I looked (the door was open) and I saw what looked like my sister waiting for the bathroom. This was an actual image – not my mind’s eye – this was physical. This little girl, standing there in front of the door and she looked at me and she said, ‘Shh’. I was like ‘Hurry up’ because I thought it was my sister. I turned over and my sister was in bed with me.
John’s note: I must admit at this point both Lana and I expressed nervous laughter and I was feeling very creeped out by this story. I would have nightmares now, as an adult, were that to happen to me – as a child, though, I’d have been a total wreck!
[Chris] As a kid – I don’t know if it was journeying or astral projection or whatever it was at the time I did not know, and to this day I still do not know what was going on, but I would turn over and I would hit a wall. I would turn over again and I would hit another wall. It felt like I was in a box and I could not open my eyes. I could not open my eyes until they were done telling me what they needed to tell me. I look back at that and it was more lessons at that time, like ‘this is what you have to go through; we’re telling you’. I didn’t feel like those were spirits, I felt like those were – if you want to say my guides.
[John] Wow. I don’t think I’d handle that very well as a kid.
[Chris] Yeah, I made the mistake of playing with Ouija boards too.
John’s note: At this point, I felt conflicted. My audible reaction was ‘Oh’ but internally I was feeling both dread and excitement. I’ve been reconciling my previous feelings of fear regarding the Ouija board and though I’m not feeling strong enough in my own energy to be able to try using a Ouija board and be confident in a positive outcome, I definitely no longer view it as a portal for negativity only. As Chris introduced his Ouija experience, I was nervous to likely hear a negative story but excited to learn about how it shaped his life experience.
[Chris] After I realized the whole Medium thing and speaking to the other side, one of my sister’s friends came over and she had a Ouija board. I asked her what it was and she was surprised I didn’t know. She was seven and I was nine and I said ‘No, what is it?’ and she goes, ‘It’s a game. You can talk to ghosts’. I asked her what she meant and how it worked and she said ‘You just move this thing around and ask questions to it’. I got so involved with it. I would make my own and my mom would thrown them out and I was so obsessed with it that I would make my own out of cardboard. I would ask them questions like ‘where’s this’ and ‘where’s that’ and I would literally feel that presence there. I’d ask ‘Give me a sign that you’re here’ and the phone - back then it was actual telephones not cell phones - we had a phone on the wall and it would ‘ding’.
I spent a lot of time growing up dabbling in the spiritual realm. Dreams, too, dreams were huge for me. I spent a lot of time alone. I didn’t come from the best family so a lot of my time was spent alone in my room sleeping. I would sleep – I would want to travel and dream of other things. I knew I had the ability to dream of anything I wanted to. If I wanted to find out things, I knew that all I had to do was just go to sleep and think about it. I would meet different people; to me it was a huge escape mechanism growing up, to have this ability.
[John] Did you decide at any point to stop using Ouija boards or is that something you would still dabble in now?
[Chris] No. I stopped using Ouija boards. I had a really bad experience. During that time I started getting into Witchcraft. I met somebody that was involved in Santeria and I was fascinated by it. I know it sounds weird and people say ‘Well why would you do that for?’ but it was a lesson that I had to go through. I had to see what was going on and see how it worked and pick up that vibe and that intention off it. So I had a really bad experience; I was messing with the Ouija board and I let something in and whatever it was, it was not human. It felt almost like an animal, kind of, and behind my door I could hear it breathing and kind of like laughing. It woke me up and I was wondering what it was doing; and that thing ran to the edge of my bed and bumped the bed and just left. So I said, ‘That’s it! I’m done!’
John’s note: At this point we all laughed a little bit and my own laughter was partly nervousness. I had the most sinister visual image as Chris described this creature and his experience, and I was trying very hard to not allow that image to settle deeply in my mind.
[Chris] Yeah. I just stopped. I just realized that it wasn’t for me. You know, my guides will tell me that that’s not something I should do, that ‘you’ve experienced it, you know that you shouldn’t do that, this is what you’re supposed to do’. I believe that it was all set up for an experience so I could witness it and see what’s going on, so when I do have readings with clients that are involved in anything like that and they’re having difficulty with it, I can relate to them on that level. I can talk about it through my experience as well.
