Yes I have lots of plans to teach people how to develop their abilities. Either with an audio program or teaching classes locally.

People who, much like yourself before, could be working at $9/hour jobs as admin assistants or something instead of pursuing their gift.
She already does that now actually. Those people simply book consultations with her instead of readings. She just worked with someone in Vegas this week.

He is popular but can one really call him the top? I read the following on wikipedia: "Choosing the first reading from a two hour tape of edited shows as a sample, magician and debunker James Randi found that just three of twenty three statements made by Edward were confirmed as correct by the audience member being read."
- John Edward - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To only get 3 of 23 statements correct does not seem very impressive to me. I don't want to start a debate or anything, but felt i needed to point this out.

And now less off topic:

Do you belive everyone has an ability in the first place to develop?

The short answer:

Yes everyone has some psychic ability and most people can develop it to a pretty high level. It helps to have some natural aptitude, but it isn't required. Putting in the time and effort are the most important aspects to achieving success.

John Edward: He's the top, not necessarily the best. Gordon Smith is very highly regarded, as are James Van Praagh, and John Holland. I personally have seen JOhn Edward in two live events. I think he's wonderful and definitely talented.

About talent: I can't even draw a cow, i draw like a 3 year old and can't seem to get better. It's easier to develop ones innate psychic ability even if one got a VERY low innate ability?

When you saw him in the two live events his success rate was better then 3 out of 23? He definitely at least cold readed at the event James Randi attended: James Randi's Swift - April 21, 2006
3 of 23 would statistically suggest that he got no psychic ability at all.

Or might his talent fluctuate? I'm simply curious on why you find him talented.

Please yet again notice that my intention is not to debate, just to get answers to these questions. I could start a new thread about it if you feel it hijacks this thread.

Raise the prices.
Maybe Erin should make a weekly draw for one (or a few) free reading. People would have to enter each lottery anew, so only those who are really interested enter every week, make it very limited.

Still, it would give those without money a chance - and if it is important for them, their guides can probably help them to win (nothing is really random, there is no coincidence in the world).

Just my 2 cent.

Love,
Sam

Hi Erin,

"Need" is very different from "want", and "willing to pay for" and "appreciate". I'd say you can probably trust people to know how many, and generally how often, they are interested in. But maybe you can't trust them. I don't know...

Well, you could just trust them. Or your intuition. That's what I do. I figure if they really want/need/appreciate my service, then it doesn't matter how much they pay me, because I'm doing what I love and they will give me what they can, if I honestly help them out.

But that's how I choose to work. And my suggestions are just that, suggestions for you to consider. You might want to choose a different approach. Whatever makes you feel right, is what you should choose.

Peace, Love, and Bicycles,
Turil
