Joan Carra · Destination Unlimited with Victor Fuhrman

0:05
My name is Victor Furman. Some call me the Voice. I've always been
0:11
fascinated with human nature, spirituality, science and the crossroads at which they meet.
0:18
Join me now and we will explore these topics and so much more with
0:23
fascinating guests, authors and experts who will guide us to Destination Unlimited. Our
0:35
psychic gifts passed down through our DNA. Does growing up in a metaphysical family
0:41
engender and encourage the development of these gifts? My guest this week on Destination
0:48
Unlimited, psychic and medium Joan Kara, grew up in a metaphysical family.
0:54
Our father had an occult library, and her mother and aunt were highly intuitive,
0:59
so psychic phenomenon was natural and not supernatural. Joan gives guidance on matters
1:06
of the heart and business and can help you overcome blocks. She's also a
1:11
gifted medium and can connect with those who have passed. Joan's spiritual counseling is
1:17
recognized in seven books, including the first edition of the Top one hundred Psychics
1:22
in America, Psychic New York, and The Rational Psychic. She's been interviewed
1:27
in WAG Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, and The Daily News, in
1:33
which she predicted the flooding of New York City several months before Hurricane Sandy.
1:38
She's a contributing author for the series Harmony in Chakras, Volumes one and two.
1:44
She's taught at the lily Dale Assembly, the Edgar Casey Center, Wainwright
1:49
House, as well as other venues in the United States. Her website is
1:53
psychic Joankara dot net, and she joins me this week to share her amazing
1:59
story. Please join me in welcoming to destination unlimited psychic medium Joan Cara.
2:06
Welcome, Joan. Thank you so much. Victor. Joan, we had
2:10
the pleasure of meeting about twenty five years ago at Bob Cecilio's Queen's Psychic Club.
2:16
Please share with our listeners your early path and what it was like to
2:21
grow up in a metaphysical family. Wow, okay, you know, I
2:29
was living in Manhattan and I moved to Queen's and a woman that I met
2:37
like twice, she said, you know, at the Queen's Psychic Club,
2:42
and I said no, and then she told me about it. And I
2:45
don't drive, so it was a bus around the corner that just brought me
2:49
there. The Queen's Psychic Club was pretty amazing what Bob did. He had
2:53
a different psychic lecture every month, and he had psychic fares and you could
3:02
put your flyer out and if it weren't there, you're flyer. It was
3:06
still out. And he did a public access show. This was before the
3:09
internet. And his story is amazing because he started a club because he had
3:17
a dream his son died and he contacted a medium and he wound up on
3:24
this path and the dream told him that he was going to start a psychic
3:28
club, not something he ever expected to do. And that was a good
3:34
community of support. We'd all help each other with, oh we have a
3:38
gig here, we need another psychic and things like that. I did three
3:43
lectures with Bob and he really put me on a path. He was so
3:47
encouraging, encouraging she was to everybody, and pretty amazing. And Bobbleso wrote
3:53
two books and he's going to celebrate his ninetieth birthday. And one of my
4:00
friends said, because I did the reunion before COVID with Bob for his birthday,
4:05
and my friend said, Joan, you should start planning for a reunion
4:11
for Bob's ninetyth birthday at a restaurant. So you're the first to one to
4:17
be victor and I was at the last one, and I'm grateful the ninety
4:24
if he's still going strong and growing up in a metaphysical home. What's interesting
4:30
is so for me, I always say, it's not supernatural, it's natural.
4:36
And I think a lot of people have this where the grandmother we talk
4:42
about. You know, I had a dream of some relative who passed and
4:46
they would try to look at what the meaning was. So, yeah,
4:53
my family was very psychic. And my aunt would come and she would read
5:00
cards from the nine to the Ace, and she said she was taught by
5:04
some woman and she was phenomenal. She would also read the coffee grinds,
5:10
and we were too young to drink coffee, but then eventually he could save
5:13
the cups to Bran Joe to read. She would just read for family and
5:17
friends. It wasn't something you promoted in those days. There were no party
5:23
jobs to do and noone was on TV, so that was something like fun.
5:29
And you know, she had some amazing things. There's one that my
5:32
older cousin, he would call himself my uncle because he was much older,
5:38
and that was his mother. So he would say when he had his first
5:43
car. They loved their red car in front of their apartment and they just
5:46
got it. And my aunt said, but I see a new blue car
5:53
in front of your apartment that's yours. And they said, you know that
5:56
doesn't make sense. We love this card. Sure enough, like within a
6:00
two weeks or so, the car got stolen and they had to get a
6:04
new car, hopefully insurance helped, which was blue. So you couldn't argue
6:11
with Aunt Joe. You just couldn't. And my mom, she was the
6:15
dream interpreter. She always had this big, thick dream book that we really
6:23
worn out and her family would call her aunt Aunt roways we had this dream.
6:29
And she also had this is not a fun thing to have. She
6:33
had the ability to dream of when somebody was going to die. You go
6:40
to the funeral twice. It's very hard to have that talent because you can't
6:46
do anything about it. You can't save the person, and sometimes it's people
6:53
that you don't expect. One dream my mom had, which is just amazing.
7:01
My dad's fore men. We were in the garben industry. My dad
7:05
had the coke factory. So his four men was his nephew and he just
7:12
moved to a new home, and he was a baby was on the way,
7:16
and my parents were going to visit the home, and then expected mom
7:21
and my mom has a stream and this is a young man. He's not
7:26
sixty years old. He's like maybe late thirties, forty of the most,
7:30
probably late thirties, and she tour. She has a tour of the home.
7:34
In the dream, she did not see the home yet, and she
7:38
hears this voice saying his name was Nicki. And the voice said he is
7:44
the home, the kitchen, the living room, the baby's coming. But
7:47
Nicki will never see his home, so sure enough, maybe with then I
7:51
don't know, they just moved. My dad gets a phone call at three
7:57
am, and Nicki went to the house of something minor and they called to
8:01
say he just died from a blood clot that hit him. And then,
8:07
you know, it's devastating. And then my parents go to see now this
8:11
very young widow with a baby on the way, and my mom said the
8:15
house was exactly like the dream she was, you know, it was exact,
8:24
and my dad looked. My dad was a big book wormed, so
8:28
he built a big library and of everything. My sister always said, we
8:31
never had to go to the library to do a book report. We just
8:35
picked a book from my dad's big library and he had a lot of occult
8:39
things. He studied Rose accrucion. I wrote Rose Accucionism, and I loved
8:45
We had a subscription to Fate magazine and readers would write in about this story,
8:52
and many of them were the same, like I woke up in the
8:54
middle of the night and this relative came and I saying goodbye, and then
8:58
they we found out that they died or I felt that, you know,
9:05
uncanny things that we talk about now openly. But the magazine was the one
9:09
to do it, and so we had a lot of books on the subject,
9:15
and it was just you know, I remember it's I think I was
9:20
sixteen and I did it. We could write a book, we could write
9:24
a report and anything we wanted. And I wrote it on astrology, and
9:28
they even I even had my parents. My dad even encouraged me, Oh,
9:33
you were just an Australia jone A class. It was from a It
9:37
was a mail order class from a guy in England for astrology. Now this
9:41
was advanced astrology and I was doing it, but being in aries, I
9:48
didn't finish and they were like disappointed, like, wall, we spend money
9:52
on this and you didn't finish the class. You know, it was an
9:54
extra class more math. Well that was good in math, so that was
9:58
okay. But I was never expecting to do this as a path. I
10:03
mean, you know, as I was someone who was extremely silent growing up,
10:11
very studious, very withdrawing the class blusher. So when the kids were
10:18
talking, I was reading the book and I was interested in, oh,
10:22
I'll be a doctor. And then my sister, she's six years old and
10:28
she was going to college and she was educational major and she mighted in psychology.
10:33
And I read all the psychology books seventh grade, eighth grade, ninth
10:37
grade. My favorite book she had was Abnormal Psychology. So I was just
10:43
devouring these books. But then I was part of you know, the Beatles
10:46
came. I was a good writer, so I was writing poems and to
10:50
me, they were little songs. And I wanted to pursue more of a
10:54
creative path because being this quiet student, I was in the advanced classes and
11:00
art wasn't like considered intellectual. But I did it in the summer and I
11:05
said, well it is intellectual. So I was trying to pursue things like
11:09
that. Basically, my day jobs didn't work. I switched from NYU to
11:16
Goddard College, which was an experimental school, no grades, We designed your
11:22
own curriculum. I fell in love with the radio station. It was like
11:24
the Bastard Child and I, me and some of the students, we really
11:28
resurrected it and it became actually a big part of the school. That was
11:33
my first time I was really with my peer group and socializing, and I
11:39
was studying writing. I worked in public radio for a year in Vermont.
11:45
After that, I came back and things were not easy. My mother was
11:50
dying of cancer. I was in a toxic relationship, which I didn't understand.
11:56
I felt hypnotized. It was just bad. And then basically I actually,
12:03
because things were so negative in my life and emotionally painful, I just
12:07
did a surrender preyer. I didn't understand why my life was going apart,
12:13
and that's when I saw this beam of light, this loving light of you
12:18
know, I wanted to be forgiven. I was not on the right path.
12:20
I haven't did drugs, so it was nothing like that I felt.
12:24
You can never describe it in words because there are no words in the human
12:31
model, but this oneness of the light were all one, even a little
12:37
spider. I remember that was a vision. A little spider is important and
12:43
it has a path, and I'm connected to the little spider. And it
12:48
was this all forgiving energy. And then I had a nervous breakdown and I
12:54
had a psychotic break and I had flashbacks. So I had memoryes you know,
13:01
of a sexual abuse account when I was young outside the home, and
13:05
that's always heavy. And I worked with the doctors and then I went back
13:11
to work, which was a healing process. And I basically besides working with
13:18
doctors, I was diagnosed with post traumatic stress and the depression I had since
13:24
the third grade that I always had. People don't believe me, but I
13:28
struggled with it and I'm better now. Besides working with doctors, I had
13:33
the spiritual path to heal myself because it seemed like that's was an aspect.
13:41
And Yale Universities doing a study, they reached out to psychics that a lot
13:46
of psychists come from trauma. So this is how I say it. You
13:52
either when you have trauma, and we all so many people have trauma,
13:54
you either self medicate and self distruct or self heal and heal others, and
14:03
that's a choice. Hopefully you'll do the latter if you can. So I
14:11
was just I took a day job in the city, temp job that lasted
14:15
three and a half years. They told me the bookkeeping, and I wanted
14:18
to do the numbers. I skipped a grade in math. I love you.
14:22
I could do math easily. So I was on that path. And
14:26
then I just assumed and maybe my ego that oh, I'm a writer,
14:31
I'm writing songs. I could sell it and I'll be supporting. I'll support
14:37
myself in my writing. But that didn't happen. So I got bounced around
14:41
through a lot of jobs and I didn't have the concentration. Luckily, that
14:46
job was a very calm place. Other jobs weren't, and I got fired
14:50
a lot. It was not easy. It was so difficult. And then
14:54
I was just reading cards from my friends the way my aunt did. And
14:56
I was in working for a friend. She had two psychics that she sent
15:03
to Japan, and my coworker was very young. It was still graduates flood
15:07
n Yu. He wanted to reading. So I'll give you a piss to
15:11
the gym because he worked there, and he said, Joan, you should
15:15
do this. I said, you had your mind because I had two jobs,
15:20
two part time jobs, and I can only collect an apployment for ones.
15:24
And he paid me. I said this is He said, no,
15:26
you're good. So he said find the restaurants. So he kept pushing me.
15:30
So then I found a restaurant that said Astrology Cafe that they had in
15:35
the back, and that was from the first vegetarian restaurant in New York.
15:41
And she was an astrologer and Virginia she wrote. She now writes books,
15:48
and she had different psychics. I was a substitute in the beginning because they
15:52
didn't you know, it was all filled. And then I was I had
15:56
my own day, and then I had two days. And then oh,
16:00
I've got her name. She was a radio broadcaster. She came in.
16:04
I didn't she didn't want to say her name. And then one of my
16:07
coworkers, the waiter, said, she just talked about she had her reading
16:12
from your here. So and then then walks in and now I'm not expecting
16:18
to do this work. I'm like, all right, and they get some
16:21
cash and they're feeding me, well, so why not do it? And
16:26
I feel as a psychic. And I and somebody even told me, you
16:30
get a like a hormone of peace and happiness, and you feel very healed
16:38
because you're helping people, and people have problems just as difficult as yours,
16:45
if not more so. It puts me in that peaceful mode. And then
16:49
and walks in a party agent and she hires me, and I never I
16:55
never heard of such a psychic going to parties. And it was for a
16:56
promotion for Self magazine. I had a work want for one hour every day
17:03
to go to these different publications and read the staff. So I met someone
17:08
in the bathroom because we were the only ones who read the receptionists, because
17:11
we knew she couldn't get in, and we were the ones who got in.
17:15
The Will Street Journal, they interviewed us, and I could believe it.
17:19
They seven hundred dollars for working one hour a day for seven days.
17:23
It was crazy, it said. I was jumping up and down screaming when
17:27
I saw the checks. And then everybody guide you with this and how I
17:32
got in the first two books Top one hundred Psychics of America, Psychic New
17:37
York. I was studying Louise Hay. Everyone was telling me read the Louise
17:41
Hay book. I said, yeah, yeah, I read it. Then
17:44
one woman looked at me, a psychic, and you said, read it
17:47
again, You're too negative. I reread the book three pages, you know,
17:53
slowly. I did every single thing that she said to do. I'd
17:59
stare at the well. I changed my negative thoughts. I was in a
18:02
lot of emotional what was me? You know, everything was a nightmare.
18:07
So I and I had physical pain that nobody could figure out for decade.
18:12
So I started to work with the book. And I knew two friends who
18:19
did PR, and they even said, oh, I'll get you some PR.
18:22
But with the discount I couldn't afford. I was living on pennies,
18:26
and I, uh, I did what Louise heads Hey said. So I
18:30
let a candle and you don't need that. Light a candle and I said,
18:33
steady, you know, steady flow clients. I now have free PR.
18:37
I have free PR. A lady calls me, and you know I
18:41
had, oh I have to put I just put in a twenty five dollar
18:45
ad in Free Spirit that was a new age magazine back then. And this
18:49
lady calls me and wants to interview me for this book about Psidekicks. I
18:55
said, all right, And then this is like days after I said that
18:59
that information, and then someone one else calls me for the book. I
19:03
said, yeah, you called me last, because she said no, I
19:06
didn't. And I said about the book. She said, that's not my
19:08
book. I'm Psychic New York. I was like, what too? Books?
19:12
I had to read for the authors and they put me into books and
19:18
I was only a year out. But I did the positive energy of study,
19:23
flow of clients and free publicity, and in those days, books were
19:30
king. It wasn't the Internet. I got a lot of clients from it.
19:33
Psychic New York. She put that book in every tourist place that sells,
19:37
you know, souvenirs, and if you came to New York, that
19:41
book was there and top one hundred psychics. That was amazing, and they
19:45
were famous psychics. She didn't put because if you did, weren't nice to
19:49
her. She said, oh, well that person was so nasty. They're
19:52
not getting into the book. So that was that, And then I think
19:57
snowboarded. You do you start to do the psychic fairs Bob had them?
20:03
You do you go to these expos and it was just amazing. It was
20:10
still hard, and then you cooked up with agents, which you don't expect.
20:12
They find you and you're doing parties and you're like, you look when
20:18
I first started parties, Oh my god. I was with clowns, I
20:25
was with stilt walkers, I was with magicians. I was like, at
20:30
forty years old, I ran away to the circus. And what was interesting
20:34
was the party work. And I still say it for today. It balances
20:40
a lot of the serious, painful stories. You have to work with people
20:45
in crisis and in pain. So I like that balance because the parties lighter
20:51
readings, more fun I have. You know, I'm withty during that time,
20:56
so that's what for me, they're there for. And you know,
21:00
just things were like that, and I was, now, that works,
21:04
not steady, but but it brought me. And then I and I kept
21:08
going to Connecticut, which is funny. I was a New Yorker and hey,
21:14
what do I know about Connecticut? And I did incorporations in Westchester,
21:19
Connecticut. And I'm doing these mansions in the backcountry of Connecticut. And because
21:25
that was a real psychic, the party agent would get requests from me.
21:29
So I kept coming up, and I would, you know, if the
21:33
party, I get the Metro North and I get to New York at one
21:37
o'clock in the morning, I would take a cab to Queens. It was
21:41
kind of late. And then I wanted to move, and I said,
21:45
I did a vision board. I said I can move to oh Somehow I
21:49
got to California in Ohai, California, which is a very metaphysical place with
21:56
Christian Murdy followers and every kind of thing like that, and that was like
22:00
I was a queen there. I was like, I don't even know how
22:03
I found it, because I studied the New Age magazines and we went to
22:07
lecturing there and I was in la and I said, I don't even know
22:11
how I'm gonna get there, but I'll get there. So magical town for
22:14
me. So I said to myself, I can move to oh Hi.
22:18
But I didn't want to move there because I would have to be friends with
22:25
my clients and buy buy furniture and a TV. And then it's very hot
22:30
there in the summer. And then it reminded me of Vermont, which I
22:33
lived in for a couple of years for school, and I worked in for
22:38
a month public radio I said, well, I did this small town.
22:41
It's too much for me. I love mountains. I'm a mountain girl.
22:45
And then I said, oh, what about Long Beach. That's nice,
22:49
except there's only the Long Island Railroad to get to New York City. And
22:55
I said, wow, if I missed that train, I'm nevi getting to
22:57
New York City on time, and then I have to go to Connecticut.
23:00
So I did a vision board with a lot of nature, just beautiful nature.
23:06
And two years later, this is before all the internet, that's where
23:10
you got apartments. It was. I look at the New York Times and
23:12
they said it was an apartment that was the same rent as a nice apartment
23:18
in Queen's and it was like with a pond in a pool. I said,
23:22
I got to check this out. It's ingredient. I'm always going up
23:25
there now. I know nothing about this area, and except that when I
23:29
did the parties, and I was at night, so I never saw there
23:32
was a town or anything. And I didn't know anything about Westchester. I
23:36
called Westchester upstate and they were all laughing when I said, well, look,
23:38
I'm from Long Island. This is upstate to us, so I come,
23:44
You're never going to leave this story. I come and they showed me
23:48
this beautiful, big studio, nothing like a studio in New York, really
23:52
big, with a patio, a garden overlooking the pond, a million dollar
23:59
you. And then they say, well the price in the New York Times
24:03
is wrong, the rent is less. Wow. Wow. Yeah. I
24:08
wasn't ready yet, So they give you two weeks of And then my neighbor
24:14
comes out and she finds out I'm a psychic. She runs back into her
24:18
apartment and she comes out with the James Van Produe book and she said,
24:22
I was at the beach. I love the beach. Nothing makes me leave
24:27
the beach, but I heard this voice in my head, go home,
24:32
go home. Now. I didn't want to go home. And she's reading
24:37
the James Van Prague book on the beach. This is nuts, right,
24:44
and she's she's young and she's single, and she's she starts selling me the
24:49
apartment. This is a young place. There's a beach which I don't know.
24:53
And then I found out there's a bus on the corner because I don't
24:57
drive and I'm not going to drive. And she was so ecstatic. And
25:03
when I moved in with my family, helped me move the furniture. We
25:07
hear this big screen from the name We're going. That's the person I was
25:11
praying for to move in and I found out that maybe before was nuts.
25:17
So uh, it was like wow. We were like sister friends in and
25:22
out of each other's apartment if I needed something she had and she needed something
25:26
I had. So that she was a lot of fun. And that's how

26:56
Cara, is my guest this week. When you do mediumistic work for a
27:02
client, what is your process and how do you connect with the departed loved
27:06
ones. That's a good question for me. Sometimes before the session, I'll
27:15
just give like an invitation out. A lot of times I have to get
27:19
because now it's so automatic. I do get a symbol of a hand with
27:26
the yellow robes, which means welcome from the other side. That's my symbol.
27:33
If it's a group, I do start a little meditation with breathing,
27:37
we lift our hands and on the third one I say shake your root chakra
27:42
because we're going to be city for a while and to calm people down,
27:47
I say this is protection. We're not going to get any wild, crazy
27:52
spirits unless they're relative. And then at the end I do the same thing,
27:56
and we I thank the spirits for the comings a lot of times,
28:00
just so I went on one. I'll just go right into it. And
28:06
I never expected to do this because my aunt didn't do it, and I
28:11
grew up seeing the Tony Curtis Harry Hugh Deini film, so I didn't even
28:15
know what was possible. And this is before you had all these mediums on
28:18
TV when I started, and all the psychics I knew thirty years ago weren't
28:23
doing mediumship. So I got guided by I was working at a restaurant and
28:30
the waitress wanted to reading it and she said, do you ever get names?
28:33
I said no, she said try. I said, all right,
28:37
as for Steve, and then she said to give me the message and then
28:41
I talked about love and she said that means a lot to me because Steve
28:47
is in a coma dying, and I was upset. I'm starting to cry.
28:51
I never did such a thing. And then a few months later she
28:53
I bumped into her and she said that was her son and she couldn't even
28:56
tell me because it was I was so upset, but that freed me to
29:02
give names, and some of them names were oddbull names, you know.
29:07
And I would give a message and people would say that's someone who passed,
29:12
and I was shocked. So I didn't have anyone guiding me. Now everybody's
29:17
going to all these places to study mediumship. I didn't study it. I
29:21
was guided. So and sometimes I'm going to be honest. I have a
29:29
friend excellent medium. And then she went I'm not going to name the places,
29:33
but she went someplace and they said, well, you're just really not
29:37
a medium. You should take this class with me. And it's like over
29:40
one thousand dollars. But she's doing it for twenty years. Why does she
29:42
have to learn it their way? And when I was in when I moved
29:48
to Connecticut, Connecticut, I Faundly was a spiritualist church. I talked to
29:52
them. I said, if you ever need a medium, she said,
29:56
actually we do because the ministers who were these legends, they were in the
30:00
nineties or something they retired and then passed, or we have you visiting ministers
30:07
who aren't psychics, so we'll tap it will use you. So I was
30:11
there quite orthen and do the readings and then they train their own mediums and
30:17
got more and then I kind of got phased out. But that's all right.
30:19
Let other people have a chance. Do you get your messages through Claire
30:25
Audience or clairvoyance or a company? Oh? Everything, oh everything, even
30:29
body movements and all right. I hear a voice sometimes it could be like
30:37
a gruff voice or something. I feel sensations on my body. They don't
30:42
hurt through an illness or an ailment or operations. I feel that I see
30:51
pictures and for food time, I say psychics get that between the party,
31:03
work and eating all the food of the dead people. I had one time
31:06
is I said, this is a spaghetti houlet and the person said, yeah,
31:10
he eats spaghetti for breakfast. So and you get nicknames and it's very
31:18
interesting and people. One of the things that I want to folks stress is
31:26
don't feel guilty. You did everything you could for your love to one.
31:29
And if you had an argument with your mother and she unexpectedly I do,
31:33
had that same argument for fifty years, and you know what, she still
31:37
loves. She let them feel. Oh she hates me and Lola, and
31:41
you don't have to keep well, they have furniture. They could kill us
31:45
and oh we weren't there when they took their last breath. That's all right,
31:51
that's all right, So no guilt. Too much guilt, and people
31:55
beat themselves up over this. One of the things that I do as an
31:57
interfaith minister. I've inducted many funerals, and one of the things that I've
32:01
hear from time to time is people will say, I wish I had told
32:07
them I love them. I wish I had asked for forgiveness. I wish
32:09
I had offered forgiveness to situations where their loved ones had passed away and they
32:14
didn't have a chance to have that final conversation. What do you say to
32:16
them? You can still do it. They hear you, and they know
32:22
what's going on. You know. I had a client say, does my
32:25
father know I adopted two children? And the answer was skating. She said,
32:32
oh my god, yesterday I wrote them ice skating. I said,
32:36
your father was there, So they know what's going on. And just talk
32:42
to them as though I'm just going to talk to you and say I always
32:46
wanted to say this, and it was hard forgive. This is a journey.
32:50
It's not the easiest thing in the world. Intellectually it is, but
32:53
in your heart and soul level. It's a process, so you're allowed.
33:00
Is there is there anything? Is there anything during a session that you will
33:02
not share with a client. I only did that once. I only did
33:07
that once. You know, a lot of people say you're going to say
33:09
anything bad. I said, I I'm going to call it stress, and
33:13
I'm going to give you coping mechanisms for your stress. You know, if
33:17
you're losing your job, I wouldn't say you're losing I said, oh yeah,
33:21
now beginnings and new opportunity. So it's how you phrase it. I
33:24
don't know. If people ask me when so and so going to die?
33:28
I said, listen, you'll be first to know. I won't go there.
33:30
I'd never want to go there. The only thing I didn't share I
33:35
just couldn't. There was a lovely client, a gay guy adopted forced a
33:39
child and no he didn't adopt. He wanted to. He had the I
33:45
don't know what's called. He was like sponsoring this childhood. He was going
33:49
to adopt, and it was setting some old like grandfather or relative pop thatb
33:55
not. The parents wanted the kid back and he he was devastated. He
34:00
said, no, I really love this child and I did see that the
34:05
child was going to leave, but I couldn't say it. He was so
34:07
heartbroken as it was, I just couldn't say it. He then adopted another
34:13
child, but I couldn't do it. I couldn't do it. And some
34:16
things aren't revealed to us, and that's really important. We're not god.
34:21
We don't know everything. I had one client, Oh my god, she
34:24
had to go for a biopsy for a breast and I said, oh,
34:27
I don't see a cancer. And she came back to me a year later
34:30
and she said, you know, it wasn't just you. Every psychic guy
34:34
went to said I won't. I don't have breast cancer. But I did
34:38
and I had the operation. And she said, well, how come nobody
34:43
knew? I said, it wasn't revealed to us, and that's well,
34:47
I can. I don't know. And I do encourage people to go to
34:52
the doctors. I'm not one of those people who say, oh, we's
34:54
it meticine? No good, Oh my god, they study too, That's
34:58
what I say, they study too. And you know what, there's nothing
35:01
more wrong with medicines. Yes, you could look at it's cool. Complemental,
35:08
yes, no, your vitamins, no things you can do, but
35:13
work with your doctor. You know, I'm not going to tell you.
35:16
I don't know. I'm strict that way other people. I'm not going to
35:21
argue with people. You do your journey, but there's nothing wrong with going
35:24
to the doctor. Yes, sometimes they it could be over medicated and things,
35:29
but just listen to both sides. That's how I would say. My
35:34
spiritual teacher used to say never instead of always, in addition to so don't
35:38
look one. Yeah, don't eliminate the one. You have all these wonderful
35:43
sources and resources, use them all, use them all. That's all.
35:46
I've got to write that one down, all right, I'm going to write
35:49
that. You're going to email me that that is a gem, a gem.
35:53
Your work has been recognized in the Top one hundred Psychics in America,
35:58
Psychic New York, and other publications. What did it make you feel like
36:02
to be honored in that way? Well, the first two was like,
36:06
because I was just a year out. The first two I was like ecstatic
36:08
because how you know, it was something I wasn't expecting to do. It
36:15
was not my path, and I was I was like, I wasn't a
36:20
good office work and because I couldn't concentrate. I was recovering from PTS,
36:24
and it was something where I go, how could this even be? And
36:31
then it was giving me things I wasn't giving myself, like, and then
36:37
I became my own boss with this, which was like I still do it.
36:40
And now with the Internet, which you know is a curse and a
36:44
blessing, I've been more typing than I did it in office, and yeah,
36:49
it's terrible. And also because I was a bookkeeper and my accountings at
36:58
a wall up clients, I'm the only one who does this very detailed Excel
37:02
spreadsheet and I know all the all the breakdowns and stuff. And then I
37:07
did my own pr I got in magazines and stuff, and newspapers I called
37:15
and and I got in. I got in those. Now it's a little
37:21
more difficult for me because I'm from old school and I did well with the
37:24
print heads and everything. But I met a loss. I tried some Instagram
37:30
things. I'm not obsessed with it, and the printings weren't working the way
37:36
they used to do. So I met a loss, and I'm just,
37:39
uh, hire a kid, what'd you say, hire a kid? A
37:50
teenager? Yeah, Well, I hired someone it was a lot of money,
37:52
and she was she was good, but it was just I said,
37:55
I can't keep up. It's too much for me, and and I so
38:00
how Yeah, higher kid is the thing. Yeah. You were a contributing
38:06
author for the series Harmony and Chakras Volumes one and two. What did you
38:10
share in those books? The first book I did the first No, I
38:17
did the upper Chakras, And I had this amazing story my friend who's the
38:23
editor and whose idea of this book was, she had a whole bunch of
38:30
dealers writing it. I swear to god she was the And I said to
38:36
her, oh, Olivia, I really I'm not going to do the lower
38:40
chakras because everyone everyone always says you're the healers say you're too much in your
38:45
head your lower chakras or block. So we're talking about that, and I
38:50
give this phone call from this guy with an Indian accident and he says,
38:54
my name is Son and I was meditating on Mount Shasta and I'm will listen
39:00
and I have her listen to it, and he says, he starts talking
39:07
to me about my roof shock or was blocked, and he's talking about things
39:12
they said, are you kidding me, just writing about that, and we
39:15
couldn't figure out. I said, how did you get my name? You're
39:19
in Mount Shasta, but what are you doing? And he said, oh,
39:22
I just worked at the Deepak Chopra Center. And we couldn't figure this
39:28
out. And he said, oh, when I teach in New York,
39:30
I'm and invite you. And we were like shocked. I said, why
39:32
would this guy pull me the oud of the Blue? So I think we
39:37
put that in the book. But the other book, which was really I
39:40
think we did three one I don't even remember now. I wrote she wanted
39:47
it about children, so I wrote about psychic children, and that was really
39:53
an important issue. And I interviewed my younger cousins, third cousins due they're
39:59
telling me the kid to add in psychic visions, and I looked it up.
40:07
An EON's Institute of Noetic Science has had a study that it's genetic.
40:12
You know how people say, oh music runs in the family, or role
40:15
doctors, Well, the psychic So I was fascinated by that because you know,
40:23
the young kids are very into it, and I promised them, you
40:29
know, you know, you always say we're going to get together and if
40:30
you never do, but I did promise them I'm going to I'm going to
40:34
teach the kids and everything. But it was like a that is amazing,
40:39
you know, because are intuitive. This is a question That's come up from
40:45
time to time when I've interviewed other people with your gifts. What do you
40:50
say to parents who have a child who's manifesting these gifts. When I was
40:54
a kid and I would share what I was experiencing, I would be told
40:59
not to talk to anyone on that. It was my imagination to shut up.
41:01
Basically, what do you say to kids today who are manifesting the parents
41:06
of kids who are manifesting these things to listen. And one of the things
41:13
Olivia as the editor and publisher said, she put in the sentence don't shut
41:19
down your child because what if this That means even if something's happening at school
41:23
or being bullied or whatever, they know not to tell you because you're already
41:29
reinforced that. So listen to the children and get some information because sometimes they
41:35
have beautiful messages for you, so you can gently guide them with encouragement.
41:51
Encouragement, but maybe you could even say, well write everything down and let's
41:59
look at that. You know these amazing stories of American children who had pest
42:06
life experiences and then they proved it. You know, they have a few
42:09
cases like that. So I would say listen and be gentle. That's important.
42:15
The l word listen, I think is so important. My guest psychic
42:19
medium Joan Carra, We'll be back with more after these words on the Old

alone and that someone cares. To learn more, Please visit Humanity Healing dot
42:51
org. Humanity Healing is where your Heart is. Hello. I'm Sandy sedgeby
42:57
a host of Home Times Magazine's Flesh radio show. What is going on?
43:01
My passion is sifting through information, research and innovations from new thought teachers,
43:07
speakers and researchers, pushing back the boundaries of what we know about life,
43:12
energy, metaphysics, and the universe. I love shifting perceptions about who we
43:16
are, why we're here, and how quickly impossible becomes normal when we open
43:22
our minds, expand our awareness, and accept that the only limits that exist
43:27
are those we place upon ourselves. So if you're the kind of forward thinking,
43:30
eager investigator of what lies beyond the current reality that most perceive, why
43:36
not make a date to come play with me in the Field of Possibilities at
43:39
four pm Pacific time seven pm Eastern time every Thursday, and together we can
43:45
discover what's really going on. Back on Destination Unlimited. My guest this week,
43:52
my dear friend, psychic medium Joan Karra. Joan, You've taught at
43:58
the Edgar Casey Center, the Wayne House, Lilydale Assembly, and other venues
44:01
in the United States. What were those experiences like and how did it feel
44:07
to teach others to embrace their gifts? You know, it's funny. I
44:12
never expected to be a teacher, but I'm a numerologist, so I'm born
44:15
on a twenty five two plus five to seven. It's the lifelong student and
44:20
teacher and it is the most psychic number, so it did come natural.
44:23
And my oldest sister is a teacher, so it was natural. And because
44:29
I went to an experimental college, very small classes six people, independent studies
44:36
twelve people. I enjoyed that small way of having a group. It was
44:40
exciting because the creative part was how to develop a class, and because I
44:45
had many different subjects, I could do a series on psychic development. It
44:52
was very exciting. I loved it. I'm not teaching the way I used
44:57
to now, it's such a different time. It's before COVID. I called
45:04
up a lot of places and I said, what's happening. We're not getting
45:07
the numbers we used to go because before COVID, they started these video classes
45:13
and you used to have, you know, twenty five people show up,
45:15
and then all of a sudden, you look if you get six. So
45:19
it was getting too small and you couldn't guarantee, you know, So that
45:23
was very difficult. But during so it was just you know, I don't
45:29
know, it's difficult. What I liked was the discipline of besides teaching and
45:35
seeing the students grow, it was working on the proposal because you have to
45:40
think as a planner, and in some places like Lilydale, I had to
45:46
propose as a class and then they have to review it. And I'm very
45:52
vetted, so I have to prove myself as a psychic to a lot of
45:57
places. I work at New Age or is the teaching places and also spiritual
46:04
churches, your name at the party agents, so they get reading from me
46:07
because I'm not off the wall, you know. Like it was amazing some
46:12
of the students to goole bunch of classes and they were like amazing. I
46:15
still have people telling me when you toured energy healing. The woman I worked
46:22
on and she verified it, she had this this neck pain or shoulder pain
46:28
and when I after I did it, she never had it again. I
46:30
was like stunned. I was like not expecting that. I want to tell
46:32
you one thing. I had a psychic development class and the woman was very
46:37
negative and we exchanged crystals and said, what from the person her vibration on
46:44
this crystal? You know what do you see? I have nothing? I
46:47
have nothing? So I said if you could give me the first initially you
46:53
know, she said he, and I said second and third ABC, Then
46:58
I said you mean N one, two three. Then they said give me
47:01
a color and she said read. You see I have absolutely nothing. And
47:06
then the girl who she read whose crystal it was, said, actually you
47:09
do. I just visited my sister in their new home. Her initials are
47:15
ABC. The number on the house is one, two three, and it's
47:19
a red door. So if you believe you have nothing, you're not going
47:23
to recognize that you have something. Right, You've made some major predictions in
47:29
media and elsewhere that have come to pass. Please share these with us well.
47:36
I have. The best one is the flooding of New York City.
47:38
I was an integrative study group and they had they had a shaman from Greenland.
47:45
This goes back twenty something years ago, and he talked about his visiting
47:51
all over the world, the Dali Lama, the pope, that Greenland is
47:54
melting. And I told them about my visions about New York and he said
48:00
it's not if, it's when, And he said, you need to share
48:04
your vision. So then I get a I don't know if it was the
48:07
millennium or something, a bunch of psychics by daily news, and of course
48:10
they want to know marriage and divorces and celebrities. And I always say,
48:15
I'm not a celebrity pop. I'm not a psychic pop barazzi. And I
48:20
didn't want to do I said, I have something more important to say.
48:22
I said, New York City is going to flood is water and oh this
48:25
water in New York City. Six months later we had Hurricane Sandy, and
48:30
sure enough it was a major flood. Some of these when I have visions,
48:36
you know you're half away. It's not like I'm walking around the street.
48:38
It shakes you up. You feel it to the core, and you
48:43
feel emotionally what it is, and you are upset, you know, if
48:49
it's something painful. I did Trump and Hillary's birthday numbers, and Trump had
48:55
the numbers. And I also heard psychically that that it would be a woman
49:00
who is not connected to her husband who would be the first female president,
49:06
and obviously Hillary was connected to her husband. I've been meditating on this crazy
49:15
year now. Before I even say anything, I just want to say,
49:17
We've had the eclipse, and we had the solar flares the sun and even
49:28
an earthquake in New York, which has happened before. So we have a
49:32
lot of shaking up to do. They will be reforms in the government.
49:37
Let's hope that there's reforms for the Supreme Court, age limits and a code
49:40
of ethics. Connecticut, we have a very strict code of ethics. You
49:45
can't accept the gifts from more than fifty dollars, and they have age limits
49:50
and in Connecticut with most states do their own for their own state court.
49:57
But it's time we look at that. We have too much of a diverse
50:01
America to say now we're going to take away lgbt Q right and now women's
50:09
rights. So there's a lot going on. I still think it's almost like
50:15
a wake up calls. So I would say there's a lot going on in
50:19
America. Yes, it's very like you know, the South is different than
50:22
the Northeast, which always will be we need. That's all I could say.
50:30
I don't know how you know, but there's gonna be some This is
50:37
going to be a rollercoaster year, and I pray for the country not to
50:40
have the violence of you know. Yeah, January sixth, I was shaking
50:46
for days. I couldn't sleep for days because I kept seeing that picture that
50:50
I'm climbing on the building. So, yeah, we have to heal the
50:54
country mentally because we have great things here. I mean, America is great.
51:00
You don't have to remake it to be great, but I think the
51:02
greatness needs to be compassion, absolutely, no question about it. This is
51:09
what we're striving for This is what people of insight and people of open hearts
51:15
is compassion for everyone, whether we agree with them or not. We have
51:20
to start seeing each other as as sisters and brothers and move forward with compassion.
51:22
What would you like our listeners to know about the responsibility you carry with
51:28
your gifts. That's an important question. I've had to deal with people had
51:32
serious mental illnesses, and I do not take it upon myself to say I'm
51:40
going to heal you come every week. I would never do that. In
51:46
Luckily psychic taught me when I was first beginning. He said, and you
51:51
could predict. I see you go into a doctor. By the way,
51:53
here's a number. I have referrals that I give. I also, I
52:02
worked at the YWCA, which had domestic abuse counseling, and I give that
52:07
out. If they're in an abusive situation with a partner, I make sure
52:12
they go. I mean, I can't force them, but I suggest I
52:15
give them the tools for serious issues. You know they can look. I'm
52:22
not going to see someone every week, so I do suggest you need that
52:29
weekly. You could go to a therapist. Thank god, we have medications
52:34
or things you can do. But take this very seriously, because I remember
52:43
I was at one of the expos and there was a woman out there and
52:45
we're all packing up, and she was in a paranoid state with two little
52:50
children. All the neighbor's going to kill me, and it was obvious like
52:52
she was in a paranoid state. And the other psychics were like, oh,
52:57
we could heal you, and blah blah blah blah. And the first
52:59
thing I said, do the children need today? Where are you going to
53:02
go on the bus? Does your husband know you're leaving on the bus?
53:07
How do you know the neighbor's going to kill you? So I calmed her
53:10
down. I was the only one talking to her like that. I didn't
53:15
think it was a place for a psychic to say, oh, I could
53:20
heal you of the demons or whatever that's wrong. Get them to the doctor.
53:27
I'm very serious about that, and I have, luckily because when I
53:34
do a lot of networking, that I have these people I could refer them
53:37
to. And I just started I got it. Actually invited doctor a man
53:45
who is on PBSL lot with the brain scans, So I got invited to.
53:50
Well, they did a case study that we could listen to and then
53:52
I got invited to a networking and I met with them. They gave me
53:55
a tour. So I said, you know, I've been telling my clients
54:00
to look at your information, even for brain health or how to eat healthy
54:04
and what you can do. And so I would say, and I have
54:09
a lot of cases, and I've asked therapists. I had these shutdown boys
54:14
by the time they are eighteen, moms, I'm not going to school and
54:16
I'm not going to work, and the parents enabled them. I said,
54:21
that's serious. You have to see you're going to have the kid thirty years
54:24
old, which now they are who are not functioning. So I am very
54:35
strong with that, and I want people to realize there's a whole community that
54:40
will collaborate with healing someone. You know, don't think you're God that I'm
54:46
just going to give you wiki and your mental illness is going away or your
54:50
infection. That's serious. So be humble and reach out to a lot of
54:59
professional because you know there's serious things out there and you need to be responsible
55:06
and not egotistical about saving and curing everybody. The only way you're going to
55:10
do is get get the help they need, the integraty help them get the
55:15
help they need. Yeah, the integrity of my dear friend psychic medium Joe
55:20
