We Can All Learn Life Lessons from this Happy Medium
A Book Review by Henry Reed
One of the boundaries that is evaporating these days
is the one between life and death. Psychic mediums have always been able to
cross this boundary. A few of them have been able to help us do likewise. I’ve
just encountered one who can do more even than that. In her new book,
The
Happy Medium: Life Lessons from the Other Side, Kim Russo offers us a hope
chest full of possibilities for us to appreciate and explore.
Kim’s a TV celebrity now (hostess of Lifetime Movie
Network series, The Haunting of), but
when she was a child she was a reluctant viewer of the “other side.” As an
adult, she accepted her gift, shared it with others, and has come away with many
gems of wisdom that can be an inspiration to the rest of us.
The publisher, Harper Elixer, says this about the Kim and her book:
When she was nine years old, Kim Russo discovered she had an amazing gift—she
could communicate with the dead. Deeply skeptical, she denied her talent for
years. But as she gradually reconciled her ability with her religious beliefs,
Kim embraced who she is—and ultimately accepted her soul’s mission as a voice
for the spirit world.
Known as the “Happy Medium” for her authenticity, warmth, and her honest,
positive readings, Kim has helped people from all walks of life to connect with
those who have passed on. Now, this world-renowned medium demystifies the world
of the dead for everyone. The key to understanding, she contends, is energy,
which cannot be destroyed.
The Happy Medium
interweaves experiences from Kim's life with some of the best, most astounding
behind-the-scenes stories of her celebrity readings from episodes of her
Lifetime show,
The Haunting Of . . . . In addition, she gives you the tools to
access the energy that is all around us, including the experiments and lessons
she uses in many of her sold-out appearances and courses around the world.
Following her mantra, “Let them lead you,” Kim shows you how to let the world of
the dead guide you to greater understanding of life’s biggest questions.
For myself, what I found most interesting was her descriptions of life on the other side. In particular, imagine this after-life reality: Getting to experience how each person in your life experienced you: how you said it and the impact on them, what you did and the impact on them. I hate to wait until I’m passed over to have that gift to be able to see yourself as others see you (except maybe the views of my ex-wives).
Edgar Cayce claimed that folks don’t get wiser when they pass over, but they
certainly become aware of a lot more. That’s a kind of wisdom in itself. Kim’s
book is full of it!
