Please ask me first....
It has come to my attention that quotes from my blogs and my websites are appearing in numerous blogs and some have been used on radio shows. The links that have been sent to me are all flattering and done so in a positive light. One indeed did reference an event that I will not be attending. All that I ask, is that you email me at Jackie@ms-swami.com so I can at least be aware of it. If you can catch me at the right time, I don't mind doing an interview. I do tend to get a little disturbed when someone says that they saw my quote or something I said somewhere, and I have never even heard of it. Thank you in advance for your cooperation!!! :)

March 2014 "Rants & Raves"
As I write this it is hard to believe that we are coming up
on the end of the first quarter for 2014.
Time is flying by! It has been
wonderful to welcome spring though the weather here in Virginia does not seem
to want to cooperate. I am beginning to
think that Mother Nature is bipolar.
I am actually anxious about beginning to work in the
yard. Once again, I am revamping the
entire back yard. (A never-ending
project around here.) I am also ready
to get my herb and lavender garden underway. I have a friend with a greenhouse who starts my seeds for me. (Cheating)
March has been a busy month of working my website, a couple
of events as well as accounting.
Accounting, yes I hate it!
However I am more than pleased with the progress that has been made
considering tax day is right around the corner.
I have to admit that my YouTube channel has been neglected
this month. Time will permit for that
soon. The same as a meeting for CentralVirginia Psychic Development & Paranormal Research, I ran out of
month! (A paranormal meeting is in the
works for the month of April.)
My spring newsletter went out this week. As a matter of fact, all week it seems. I generally send out four a year, one each
quarter. I have to admit as the
subscriber’s list grows I am torn about continuing to send this out verses
publishing it here or on my website. I
have many that look forward to it and many that will inquire or state that they
did not receive it. This is a
continuing battle with the spam filters, so I am now looking at this option
instead.
Though I have offered Psychic Development to groups, I have
recently started this as a phone session and seeing a lot of success. I do want to remind you that this is done by
appointment only. They generally take
an hour and a half, but I ask that you set aside two hours. The first part is your assessment, while the
second part is on development.
Events for the month of April are filling up quickly. I will
continue to be at the Aqua Lounge in Shockoe Bottom in downtown Richmond
the first and third Tuesday of the month.
I am also looking forward to working the Spring Fling Sunday April 6th
in Chester. There I will have the Reiki
Course as well as offer psychic readings.
Other vendors there will include Thirty-one, Jamberry Nails, Orgami Owl,
Avon, Tupperware, Scentsy, It Works, and Tastefully Simple. This should be a LOT of fun.
(Check my Events calendar through the month as things are
added or dates are changed.)
Thank you to those that follow me on Twitter. I am still a little new to “Tweeting” but
have enjoyed it. I will continue to put
specials on there for select weekends.
Of course, you can always find me on Facebook.
Now to answer some questions:
Do you use an agency?
No I don’t and never have. So please don’t have them contact
me. I prefer working with people one on
one for events or appearances. An
agency will tend to keep me on the road more than what I would like or keep up
with.
Do you ever do readings for other psychics?
Yes. Psychics have a
hard time reading for themselves. That
applies to me as well. We only get very
little information verses the whole picture.
It is very common for us to trade readings from time to time.
Do you have any new projects in the works?
Yes. This has to do
with the psychic realm of things and will be ongoing for the next few
months. There will be more to come on
this at a later date.
Have you ever met someone that you did not want to read
for?
Not really. I have
met negative people as we all do from time to time. Some drain me more than others and I think that is common.
Do you plan to keep your free email follow up?
I am trying. As long
as I can keep up, yes, it will stay in place.
I have several email addresses for you. What is the best to reach you on?
Jackie@ms-swami.com this is my primary address and checked most
often.
What exactly is Reiki?
I am getting this a LOT.
It is also known as the “Healing Touch” or “Energy Healing”. Hang in there with me as I plan to write a
blog on nothing but the topic of Reiki.
What is your personal opinion on horoscopes?
Coming from someone that writes them once a month, I find
that they are fun. They are a
generalized measurement of time for each zodiac sign. Even if published daily I don’t find that they carry a lot of
weight. Just fun. It is funny though, those that don’t believe
in psychic abilities or the paranormal, I find are usually the ones that read
their horoscopes every morning.
How is Jaselyn?
Wonderful, a delight, a shear joy, and a breath of fresh
air! She has a really great personality
and learns something new almost daily.
Her and her mom, make everything I do ….WORTH IT!
Until next time...

February 2014 "Rants & Raves"
What a short and crazy month this has been! I think I can credit a lot of this to
Mercury Retrograde running from Feb. 6th to Feb. 28th. (A high energy Retrograde I might add.) The month for me began with renewing my
business license as well as my notary commission. (This always takes nearly a whole day for whatever reason.)
Thank you to those that came out to the Aqua Lounge in
Downtown Richmond this month. I will be
returning there in March on Tuesday March 4th and Tuesday March 18th,
psychic readings begin at 7PM. Feel
free to email me for details. Also a
thank you to those that attended the second Tarot Card Workshop. This workshop will be offered online through
my website very soon! (It has been delayed a little longer than I originally
had planned.)
Jaselyn and I have worked out a schedule that fits both her
needs and mine. As you can see by her
Valentine’s Day picture, she is growing like a weed! (A refreshing change to last Valentine’s Day when I lost my
Mother.)
I spent a full day in the studio this month filming an
episode of “A Haunting” from one of our cases in 2009. I love this show! I also loved the fact that it is an hour to which I think the
family was able to get out their story in its entirety. I have to admit that I was a little
skeptical going into this case with what they reported. Boy, did that location prove me wrong! I can say that we could back up their claims
with some footage to prove some of what they reported. It was GREAT to reunite with them and see
how well they are doing today. They
described the filming as “Therapy” to give them their final closure. This is projected to air this summer on
Discovery’s Destination America, and I will keep you posted. If you have an interest in the paranormal be
sure to visit our website. For the locals with a paranormal interest, I will
set up a meeting for the public sometime in March.
It is amazing to see how my clients have evolved over the
years. From their psychic readings to
the reports of the paranormal. It
certainly does make things worth my time!
As always, I continue to add new projects to my plate. What is life without goals?
I am seeing a lot of new traffic to my website. Though I do not wish to take time from your
psychic reading to ask, please take the time to email me and tell me how you
found my site. I would GREATLY
appreciate it. I advertise on several
different sources and sometimes have a hard time tracking which is most effective.
I am getting a lot of inquiries on the Reiki Course. I plan to spin off a blog on this in the
next few days. Meanwhile, if you have
any questions regarding Reiki, feel free to email me directly.
March is right around the corner. With that don’t forget that Daylight Savings Time is March 9th
and the first day of spring is March 20th. Hallelujah! It has been a
rough winter here in Virginia. (I am
most certain that this will be followed by a 100-degree summer.) Your free monthly horoscope will post to my
website on March 1st. I am
kicking off March 1st with live psychic readings in Chester,
Virginia. Also, keep an eye on my
Events calendar, as my schedule is forever changing and sometimes events are
added with little notice.
Upcoming, I will be working on my spring newsletter, so send
me your email address if you wish to be added to the list. I also hope to update my YouTube channel in
the next few days.
What is the best time to reach me for a psychic reading? Between 1PM to 1AM.
Until next time…

Will my case be on TV?
The immediate response to this question would be NO.
With so many paranormal shows, and paranormal specials
appearing, this is now becoming a common question. Our intention and focus is on YOUR case, not television. On the flip side, we have also upped our
screening process on cases to make sure that it is not YOUR intention.
I want to take the time to clarify some of this
process. We are indeed contacted by
production companies on varying occasions throughout the year. In addition, we have had homeowner’s submit
their own cases to various shows. So
let me see if I can give you some insight as to how this works.
Let me give you an example of some of the questions a
production company will approach us with:
-
Do you have a location with a history of….
-
Has anyone ever reported …
-
Have you had an investigation with….
-
Have you ever been in a location like…
-
Do you have a family that has experienced …
-
Do you have any cases that were not paranormal because of …
-
Do you have any footage of…
-
Do you have any families that need help with….
-
Have any families changed their lives because of …
-
Can you back the families claims with evidence of ….
That is just a short list to give you an idea of what we are
asked on our end. Now in the event that
we have a case they are looking for, there are questions for the homeowner’s
that may appear like this:
-
Are they comfortable with sharing their story?
-
Do they mind going on camera?
-
Are they looking for money?
-
Do they rent or own their home?
-
Will they allow production in their home?
-
Are they willing to travel?
On our end, we are looking at everything INCLUDING the
production company that has contacted us:
-
Are they looking for the “worst of the worst” for ratings?
-
What have they produced before?
-
What kind of airtime are they looking at for this case? (6 minutes or an hour?)
-
Have they ever produced anything with the paranormal
before? (That is a BIG deciding
factor!)
In the event that we can make a match with all of these
pieces, you will be contacted by either JACKIE or NIKKI. (No one else portraying as CVAPI!) Your information is NOT released to ANY
production company unless we contact you first. If you give us the go ahead for them to contact you directly then
we will do so. (For those that are submitting
your own cases, we would appreciate the same in return.)
In reality, there is only a SMALL PERCENT that we can make a
match to. We have also had cases to
which the homeowner has backed out of filming to which we are completely FINE
with. There is also no time limit as to
when these cases occurred. Recently we
filmed our best case from 2009.
However, we have been asked before to return to the location for
additional footage.
