MysticMag chats with Opie, from Opie’s Connection, who experienced a profound transformation upon connecting with spirit. From childhood, Opie possessed the ability to see translucent spirits, but it wasn’t until later in life that the full extent of these abilities became apparent. After a serious neck injury shifted Opie’s career trajectory, they found fulfillment in office education and later worked as an analyst for the federal government. However, a pivotal moment came when seeking guidance from a local psychic medium, igniting a desire to help others in a similar manner. With a newfound sense of purpose, Opie embarked on a journey to become a psychic medium, eager to provide closure, clarity, healing, and self-empowerment to those in need.
Opie, can you share more about your early experiences with seeing spirits and how that has shaped your journey as a psychic medium?
Well, from my earliest childhood memories, I vividly recall seeing figures appearing in my room, dancing outside my window, trying to communicate with me. They seemed like people, albeit somewhat translucent and occasionally with altered appearances. I often saw them in the forest, where they would beckon to me, instilling fear and causing nightmares.
This sense of spiritual presence also created a feeling of insecurity and lack of safety from a young age. I was taught not to speak of these experiences, to keep them to myself, which reinforced the belief that it wasn’t safe to share who I truly was with others. This disconnect from my surroundings led to misunderstandings, with others attributing my experiences to imagination or daydreaming. Consequently, I was often penalized and found myself in trouble for something I couldn’t control.
You mentioned a significant career shift from working in construction to a role as an analyst for the federal government. How did this transition impact your spiritual awakening and decision to pursue your calling as a psychic medium?
It’s intriguing to reflect on how life’s unexpected turns can lead us down new paths. My journey took a significant shift after experiencing a severe injury while doing physical manual labor. A chiropractor inadvertently sliced an artery in my neck, putting me at a 95% risk of a stroke. Miraculously, my body reacted, preventing a fatal outcome. This incident compelled me to transition to a desk job, which ultimately sparked my interest in further education.
Despite being a high school dropout, I pursued college and found fulfillment in helping others through my work. However, a lingering feeling urged me to explore a different path. Taking a particular course reignited a sense of purpose within me, aligning with what I had always felt was missing. Although I appreciated the meaningful aspects of my career, the toxic environment I endured became unbearable. When the opportunity arose, I embraced change wholeheartedly.
Your journey involves overcoming trauma and challenges, providing you with a unique perspective. How have your own life experiences influenced your approach to assisting others in closure, clarity, healing, and self-empowerment?
The most significant aspect for me is the absence of judgment towards anyone’s journey, past or present. Having traversed various paths myself, I understand the weight of judgment and criticism during our toughest times. It’s when we’re at our lowest that we often face the most scrutiny and belittlement from others. In those moments, I strive to offer support and empowerment, illuminating the possibilities within their control. I’ve experienced firsthand the transformative power of someone acknowledging my resilience and guiding me to focus on actionable steps. My aim is to instill hope in others, reminding them that there’s always a way forward and a brighter destination ahead.
Could you elaborate on the connection between psychic mediumship and forensic investigation, and how you utilize your abilities to assist in cases involving missing or deceased individuals?
In my experience, psychic mediumship focuses on providing support, closure, and connection for individuals by connecting with spirits. This involves bringing forth messages and insights from the spiritual realm to help individuals find peace and understanding.
On the other hand, forensic work in this context involves delving into the evidential aspects, such as analyzing the environment and scenario details related to a particular situation. These details often provide crucial information about individuals involved or aspects that may not have been shared. Unlike mediumship, forensic work relies more on external factors and evidence, as the spirits involved may not always be in a position to directly communicate their messages.
In addition to psychic readings and forensic mediumship, you offer mentorship sessions. How do you guide individuals in developing their intuitive abilities, and what inspired you to provide support for others in building their own psychic or spiritual businesses?
Well I’ve only been going for three years and it’s been a wild ride. I understand the challenges and nuances involved in this process. I recognize that each individual’s journey is unique, and I am committed to providing personalized support tailored to their specific needs. Whether it’s offering understanding and guidance through challenging aspects or providing exercises to enhance their abilities, I strive to meet my clients exactly where they are in their development. Building trust is paramount, and I aim to create a safe and supportive environment where individuals feel empowered to explore and grow.
