I am not an avid tv watcher. I'm more of a wait until the series becomes available on Netflix, Amazon, HBO, etc and then binge watch the whole thing at one time, kind of girl. However, there is one show that I DVR and watch weekly when it's on and that is Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry. If you've never heard of it, I suggest you look into it...believer of that sort of thing or not.
Tyler is a clairvoyant psychic medium so he sees more like images and symbols and presents that information to the person he's reading. He just delivers what he sees and works with you to try and piece it together in a way that makes sense...to you. He even admits that if it doesn't fit specifically for you, ask a family member because all he knows is that the message is for you or someone you know. He is merely the conduit to allow someone to come through. A lot of what he does is reading your energy and your body language, but also I think there's a level of legitimacy to him. To be only about 20 to 21 years old, he has this genuine spirit about him that I find endearing. Now, I know it's tv and some things are scripted but also, I feel like some of the reactions of these people can't be faked. Maybe I'm just gullible. I have to admit though, there are loved ones I've lost and it makes me wonder if I were in the presence of Tyler, would they come through and have a message for me? It's something that crosses my mind with regularity when I watch his show. It's actually something I long for when I watch the show. Now that can't be healthy and I'm sure I should have been in therapy 9 years ago immediately after my father passed unexpectedly...but I like my hole in the sand thank you very much. I've gotten good at carrying this around.
I really enjoyed this book because Tyler explains his process, his first experience with speaking with those who have passed, and how he has tried, over the years, to gain a grip on his ability. He provides some really great perspective on life and death, and seems to exhibit a wisdom well beyond his years. You have to go into this with an open mind because if you don't, you'll be miserable through the entire book. However, if you open your mind and just let yourself read his perspectives, some of what he says has some resonance. Do I agree with everything he says? No. Does that make him wrong and me right? No. Does that make me dislike him in any way? Definitely not. Sure we have a difference of opinion, but that's okay.
I just ultimately really liked that he didn't spend time rehashing the episodes of the shows that I've already seen. He provided a greater world of information and I'm glad I picked up this book. It's definitely outside my usual niche and probably considered a little alternative for me. However, I look forward to what the future holds in store for this young man.
