Psychic Medium John Edward’s ‘AHA!’ Moment

“I

guess, for me, the epiphany of it occurred one Friday night when I was about 17 or 18 and in a car on the way to the local mall where I was to do a group reading for 11 people,” begins John Edward by phone, after revealing the opening scene behind the ‘AHA!’ moment which changed the way he feels about his extraordinary psychic medium abilities.

“First of all, I did not experience the normal teen years,” emphasizes the now 42-year-old Long Island, New York native, who mentions that 2012 marks his 28th year as a professional metaphysician.

And in that moment they showed me ‘this (ability) is not about you…this is about your clients.’
