Leo Brown's Bio:
Leo Brown has always been a talker. Ever since he was a boy growing up in the Deep South. "I would always run my mouth and tell people what I thought," he says. Though, some loved the fact that he was so open with his thoughts, some people found him to be a bit of a loudmouth. "As I was growing up, I was thinking of ways to use this mouth I had. I tried everything from customer service rep to selling medical insurance via phone. Nothing worked because I'd end up giving advice and telling people what was coming up for them," he says with a laugh. When asked if he always knew that he was psychic, his reply is simple. "Yes, but back where I come from, people I knew didn't say I was psychic they just told me that I knew things others didn't." Sitting in a comfy brown regal-looking chair but dressed in just a pair of blue jeans and a white t-shirt, Leo seems comfortable and at peace. Ever the open book, he goes on to say how his psychic skills began to take shape. "It started with dreams and just what you would call hunches at first, but as I got older especially around eighteen, it really grew, I had friends that would ask me about their love life, jobs, basic life questions even pets and soon my name started to grow but I never thought of it as a job, I was just helping people see things clearer." How Leo got into the business as a professional psychic is another story. "Actually, my best friend from high school suggested that I should seriously think about it as a career. My first thought was, No! I can't do that," he says laughing loudly. Fast-forward to today and Leo Brown not only loves what he does but also has a strong passion for it. "I'm very, very happy and glad I took my best friend's advice." he says as his smile radiates the room we're sitting in. "I've been in this business for six years and I feel that when you pick up that phone to speak with me, you’re speaking with a friend, who truly wants to help you and empower your life." "The key is though," he continues to say with a serious look on his face, "you have to be ready for the truth, because this is your life and your reading. I can be your friend only if you allow me to be."

Suicide and the other side...

I have a handful of clients that have had a loved one pass by death by suicide. Although any death is never easy, it does seem to leave some confusion as to the fate of their soul. So I want to see if I can put this into perspective of what happens to them on the other side.
If a loved one has committed suicide this does NOT mean they have gone to hell. There is a slow transition phase that they will go through when they cross. God does look at them prior to that frame of mind. This does not automatically make them a damned soul. The transition period is where they are counsled and consoled.
With that said, I also would like to add that there is no "time" on the other side. Our 5 minutes could be their 5 years.
There are instances of suicide victims that have chosen not to cross for fear of what to expect. This does not just apply to suicide but to those that have died suddenly, children, and those that are just uncertain if they should enter the light.
No matter what the cause of death, once they have crossed they are allowed to visit. This can be from smells, to feeling their presence, seeing something out the corner of your eye, to actual paranormal activity.
Ever had a dream of a loved one who has passed? These are considered actual visits!
Although cliche' it is true...time does heal all wounds. The hurt will always be there but not as strong. Sometimes, you have to start over instead of picking up where you left off.

Psychics and Missing Persons

Opinions, opinions, opnions...if you know me than you know my blog is full of my opinions. I actually have a lot to say about Psychics and Missing Person cases, and a LOT of pet peeves as to how other psychics handle this. Let me see where to begin...
I am often asked as a psychic, "Do you ever contact law enforcement?" The answer to that is NO. Now let me explain why. First of all, it is my personal beliefthat if I am meant to be involved in something they will find me. Does law enforcement actually use psychics? The answer to that is YES, more often than you may realize. My pet peeves in all of this? MANY, psychics that do reach out to law enforcement, can and have been charged with obstruction of justice and I support that FULLY!
I think I can best describe Missing Person Cases as emotionally challengingfor all involved, including the psychic. First and foremost, it is not my job as a psychic to inform the family of a missing person that their loved one has crossed over or is still living, that is the job of law enforcement. Next, when a family of a missing person reaches out to you it is out of "total desperation", meaning they have no other stone to turn. Nine times out of ten, they have never even spoken to a psychic before. In addition, to every one of these cases that I have been involved with, the family has a "theory" of who done it and how it happened. Therefore it may be difficult to explain to them "exactly what you see".
Now on to my pet peeves...
To the psychics that jump into the middle of an open investigation, yes, you should be charged with obstruction of justice. To the psychics that "advertise" they specialize in missing person cases...they completely disgust me. To the psychics that post on their websites and all over the internet your "Insights" of a missing person's whereabouts...you are messing with an open investigation and starting rumors. To the psychics, that in your post, you descriptively describe where to find a body...you have obviously NEVER worked with a task force or the family of a missing person. If you had you would one, realize it is an open investigation, and two realize how hurtful your words are to the people that loved them. To the psychics that advertise that they will only charge for their "travel expenses" to this I would have to say...REALLY? Because as a psychic you shouldn't HAVE to travel anywhere! To the psychics that advertise how law enforcement can contact you, this is one of the many reasons as to why they WILL NOT. And finally, to ANY psychic out there trying to collect money on someone's desperation and need for insights, I have one word for you...KARMA.
The reality of all of this is that IF they are not seeking "monetary compensation" then they are seeking the recognition. If this is the way you want to earn your "fame" than I have real issues with it.
If you are reading this and fall into the category of one of these psychics then you deserve to loose what business you have for lack of compassion! Try as I may, as a psychic, I cannot find any defense for these actions.
Bottom line, missing person cases are REAL. I am completely horrified in hearing what these families as well as law enforcement have been through with psychics.

Can things change in a reading?

In speaking to one of my clients today, they had spoken with another psychic that told them "things can change in a reading". This is not the first time I've heard this so I wanted to discuss this a little further.
First of all, I want to remind you that the whole purpose of a psychic reading is so that you will know what is to come. Can you change that? Sometimes you can.
A good example of this is a traffic ticket. If I see you getting a traffic ticket and you remember that and slow down, then your in good shape. More so than not, you remember AFTER the fact.
Another example would be if you ask if you will meet someone new this weekend. Well if I tell you yes, and you go out, then it is highly probable. If on the other hand you decide to stay at home, well now, that changes everything.
These are just two examples of how "things can change". I have not experienced any drastic changes in readings, unless the individual has actually changed something.
The timing of matters can be delayed, for this you can thank the Universe. But timing is crucial in all events. "For everything there is a reason and a season".
So as for the original question..."Can things change in a reading?"...
You yourself can change things. The only thing a psychic can do is relay to you how things will play out, what you do with that is up to you.
Now, for those of you that have been told that things can change in a reading, and you have had NOTHING materialize or come to pass...this I would question.
The changes I have seen are generally small details controlled by the client.

Reiki for the "Greater Good"

I have received a few emails asking if Reiki can cure a specific ailment. I want to tell you exactly how Reiki works. The healing energy is channelled into you for "the greater good." It enters your body and it "goes were it is needed." I have had a couple people tell me that their Reiki session fixed another aillment that I didn't even know they had. As a practitioner, it is not up to you to direct the energy.
Also there is no "Right way or wrong way" to preform Reiki. Nor is there ever a "bad time" for you to receive a Reiki session. I have found that the ones that state this are generally the ones that are charging a ridiculous fee!
If you have any questions about Reiki, please feel free to email me on my website at www.ms-swami.com

The Gifts

I have been asked many times about the varying gifts of a psychic. So I want to take the time to discuss a few things. First of all not all psychics are mediums, but all mediums are psychic. What is a medium? It is someone that can effectively communicate with the other side.
Clairvoyant. 90% of my readings are clairvoyant, it means that I am clear seeing. The best I can describe this is that I can visually see what is to come. (Like mini movies.) The other 10% of my readings are Tarot readings by request. Can all psychics read the Tarot? No. Can anyone learn to read the Tarot? Yes. I have seen many great Tarot readers that can also pick up clairvoyance from the Tarot.
An Intuitive and an Empath. An intuitive is someone that "reads" by their "gut feeling", it does not mean they can actually see things that will come. An Empath is someone who picks up on emotions. Are they psychic? In my opinion, no. Although they can be accurate at times, and they are psychic abilities, it does not "make" them a psychic. Unfortunately, many have found that they can make money at readings and now consider themselves psychic. This is generally found out after a few readings due to lack of accuracy, or they will state "I cannot read for you right now."
For a clairvoyant reading please feel free to contact me at www.ms-swami.com

Choosing a psychic

I don't expect everyone that visits my site to choose me for a reading. Sometimes, you need to let that "gut feeling" lead you. What "feels right" and what doesn't. Some key things you will want to look for:
- How long have they been around?
- Do you "feel" you would be comfortable speaking to them.
- What are their gifts?
- Can you find them on the web?
- Do they offer a reading that would fit you? (Ex. Tarot, Clairvoyance, Medium, etc.)
- Is the price a reasonable request? (A higher price does NOT mean a better psychic.)
There is another "red flag" that you need to look for...
If they do NOT disclose what they charge, be leery! (This is a common scam.)
Also note, how will you pay? (Do not send cash or Western Union!)
Let your instincts lead!

Somethings you should not have to pay for...

I was speaking with another psychic yesterday and I have to say we agreed to disagree. Although we all work by our own standards and code of ethics, it is my personal opinion that you should never pay for a house clearing or a house blessing.
I do understand that to some this is part of their psychic services, but it doesn't mean I agree with it.
Clergy offers these services, generally free of charge. To the homeowners that I personally know, if someone tried to charge them they found someone else. She then referenced that our work is somewhat like "clergy", as we work as spiritual counselors.
Well then this just confuses me. As I said, clergy generally does not charge for this service. I personally have never considered myself as a "counselor." To me this is someone who "gives advice", not discloses what they "see". So no, I am afraid I do not see that connection.
This to me falls into the same category as how we offer our paranormal services free of charge. I also do not support the teams that are charging for them.
Yes, we all have a right to make a living. However, I do feel that there are times when charging for something is not appropriate.
Like I said, just my personal opinion, but some things we should not have to pay for!

A reading in person, or by phone.

I have meant to write about this and I seem to forget. Often I am asked what is the difference in a reading in person and one on the phone. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING! This also applies to chat and email readings. What I am reading is your energy. Your energy does NOT change weather you are in front of me or not. 98% of my readings are clairvoyant (Clear seeing, and what I see), the other 2% are when someone requests a Tarot reading. In person readings I tend to use the Tarot because it gives you, the client, a visual. So in actuality, all readings are the same.

Full Moon during Mercury Retrograde

If you didn't get a chance to see the moon last night, maybe you will catch it tonight. What a sight! It is a proven fact that the full moon effects people and animals in various ways.
A full moon during Mercury Retrogade can cause anxiety, depression and a general feeling of uncertainty. If you are having those feelings this week, I want to assure you that you are not alone!
Mercury Retrogade will end on May 11th. This is when things seem to shift to a more positive note and you may begin to feel "normal" again!

Psychic Chain Letters

What is a chain letter? It is a letter developed to go out to many people, leaving "blanks" in it where your name is filled in. This gives the "personalization" look to the letter, and it appears it was written just for you.
Thanks to a friend, I have in my possession a numerous amount of these letters from some very "well known" psychics. (She has these letters from her elderly sister who lost her life savings and over $150,000.00 to psychics.)
Generally they appear as being personally directed to you and anywhere from $19.99 to $299.99 will turn your luck around! (I'm thinking fairy dust maybe?) And there are some that will even send you a dollar store trinket as your lucky charm. I find ALL of this to be very disturbing. These are well known psychics that have appeared on television numerous times. Two of them, I have contacted myself.
People, DO NOT buy into this! I cannot "fix" your problems for any amount of money, nor can anyone else. These letters are going out to thousands of people. I have said this many times but let me give you a refresher:

1. DO NOT send a psychic cash.
2. DO NOT send a psychic money via Western Union. (You have no recourse, Paypal acts as a credit card company.)
3. DO NOT send a psychic money out of the country.
4. And NO we do NOT know the lottery numbers!

Career & Finances

I hope you all had a great weekend, and I want to pick up with last week's topic on to what people ask a psychic. The second most popular topic is on Career & Finances. There are several out there nowadays that are unemployed and seeking their next job opportunity. As well as those that are seeking to advance in their careers by either switching jobs or furthering their education.
Finances are a all time concern for everyone. They can range from those that are struggling to those that are financially secure but concerned what the future may hold. These questions can also pertain to the sale of homes or properties to investments.
Either way Career & Finances remain the secondary category next to Love & Relationships. Love is an all time consuming emotion, no matter what is going on in your life at present.
For psychic readings, please visit me at www.ms-swami.com.

Love & Relationships

I am often asked what is the most popular question that people ask about. It is by far their love life. I don't believe people realize what a powerful emotion love really is. It can consume us altogether.
Everyone's situation is different and everyone is unique. Concerns range from new relationships, break-ups, marriages and divorces, looking for the right one to thinking of living together. The list goes on and on.
It is cliche in saying that "you are number one", but it is also true. It applies to all of the circumstances that I listed above...
With love being an all time consuming emotion it is important that you remember this one thing...

IF YOU DO NOT LOVE YOURSELF, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT ANYONE ELSE TO LOVE YOU?

The second most popular topic would be Career & Finances. More to come on that later.
Have a great weekend!

What is Reiki?

Reiki is Japanese for Universal Life Force Energy, or often referred to as Spiritually Guided Energy. In short it is a form of "energy healing". It pertains to working with your chakras. (Chakras are the energy centers of our bodies that turn and process the energy inside of us.) There are 7 main chakras in the body, with each one having a specific color.
A Reiki attunement/session can be done hands on or sent by distance. Either way it is effective. Can it heal your headache? Can it fix your toothache? Yes and no, the energy healing is sent to "heal" the greater good. Meaning it goes into your body where a healing is needed.
Reiki can be learned by anyone. I first learned of Reiki through raving reviews from my clients. I have to agree, it is life altering!
I am now offering Reiki Courses in a Distant Learning format. Now available is Distant Learning: Reiki Master Course, Handbook and Certification. (Reiki Master means that you are certified in Reiki to teach others.) This is now available on my website at www.ms-swami.com
This is a hands-on course including assignments, case studies and a final exam. You and I will work closely together in order to make you a Reiki Master. I didn't waste a lot of time on the history of Reiki as there are many great books available on the subject. This is completely geared to you becoming a Reiki Master. For a limited time I will be offering this course directly from me for $195.00. When the course goes into distribution it will be a lot more. ($370.00 I believe!)
Upcoming will be Distant Learning for Level I & Level II, as well as Distant Learning for Level III and Masters.
PLEASE feel free to email me on my site with any questions or concerns!

My AMAZING Clients!

I just wanted to take the time to say how I am continually amazed by my clients! I LOVE them all, lol.
I really do appreciate when you take the time out of your day to let me know that things I told you have come to pass, or where you are at in your life right now.
I love the fact that you know what the weather is doing in Virginia, and that you take the time to wish me a happy holiday.
I love the fact that you send me your family recipes, and your family photos. As well as the fact that you ask me about me and my family. I think that is the coolest!
I have a questionnaire sent to me by Sally in Houston, Texas, all about me. I think its a FANTASTIC idea! I will take the time to get it up here on the blog in the next few days. (I think some of you know my work schedule better than I do!)
Meanwhile, I appreciate ALL of you!

How to tell if a psychic is legit.

Last night I was on the themixtalk.com with Psychic Craig Eugene. (We will be back next Tuesday night at 9:00PM). We had a caller, Kimberly from Virginia who asked a wonderful question...."With all the psychics out there nowadays, how can you tell if they are legit?" I want to go a little further with this...

As with any industry, it is scary to see how many scam artists are beginning to surface. There are ways that you can research a psychic. This applies to if you find them online or locally in your area.

1. How long have they been around? If they have been around for awhile, this needs to be taken into consideration. A lot of scam artists come and go rather quickly.

2. Can you validate their credentials? If they claim to have certificates, degrees, or organizations they will generally have a live link to validate their claim.

3. What does Google say? Try typing the psychics name or stage name into any search engine. If you only have the first name try entering the word "psychic" in front of it. (If it comes back with a Ripoff report, then there is your sign!)

4. What if they are local? Do they have a business license within the county or city they are working in? You can either check with the county or city or ask them to show it to you. (Be careful of the ones that are reading out of their homes...some are legit, but there are usually strict licensing laws pertaining to this.)

5. What if they are local and have no website? Then this is just scary. Most businesses have a web address of some sort available to the public. It is also a "red flag" if they only work for Psychic Services.

6. How do I choose a psychic on a psychic service? Start by LOOKING AT THE SERVICE. I will not name them but there are TWO major psychic services on the web where ANYONE can be a psychic. Don't get me wrong, because there are legitimate services out there that do test their psychics. HOWEVER, there are a lot of psychic services that advertise on the WHAM board. (Work at home moms) As well as some sites that offer various scripts for them to read...Scary isn't it?

7. Did they ask you for your birthday? Unless you are seeking an astrology reading, I have REAL issues with this. It is too easy to give a "generalized reading" of your zodiac sign.

Remember you the client have a right to choose, walk away, or end any reading at anytime. Here are some key words to look for:

Cash or Money Order, Western Union, Negativity surrounding you, Aura Cleansing, Hex or Curse removal, Spell casting, They need you to purchase something in order for something to come to pass, Lottery Numbers, or any "claim" that they can change things for you. These are STRONG signs that you have landed a scam artist!

You should pay for your reading....and NOTHING ELSE!

Phone System

There are two options available to place a call for a psychic reading, both are featured on my homepage. The 800#, will process your credit card information. It is set for "up to" a 30 minute call. (This means you would have to have $70 available on your card in order for the call to connect.) If my status reads "Unavailable" you may call the number and it will give you the hour that I will return. Your other option is the Click4advisor format. This requires that you have internet access to sign up with them. This is a per minute charge of $2.99 a minute. As always please feel free to email me for an appointment at ms-swami@comcast.net. Please make sure you include your time zone as I am in the Eastern Time Zone. FREE EMAIL FOLLOW UP TO ALL PAID CALLERS!

Your email address

As you know, I am currently offering a free email follow up to all of my paying clients. PLEASE make sure you send me an email so that I have your address! The phone system DOES NOT ask for your email address.
Very seldom do I send out "email blasts", however I do this from time to time. They generally include basic information, updates to the site, upcoming events and any special that I am running.
If you are interested please email me at ms-swami@comcast.net and ask to be included on my mailing list. Your email address is NOT shared with anyone! That is MY personal promise to you!
***Upcoming in the next few weeks, look for an online Tarot Workshop as well as information of Reiki!***

Rate Change

You will notice that there has been a rate change on my front page. I do not anticipate another increase throughout 2010. Due to an increase in connection charges, I did slightly raise the rate. My rate has been the same for over 3 years now, and this is the first increase.
