The Long Island Medium, Theresa Caputo, who has a long-running TLC reality television series, said during a phone interview that it doesn't matter if she's doing a reading for one person or five thousand, the message heard will impact everyone.
Caputo will be making an appearance at CN Centre Saturday, April 6.
"Yes, of course it is different having a one-on-one than having a group reading but how I look at these large groups is they are all the same," Caputo said, who made her first appearance in Prince George in 2016. "There's only so many souls that I can channel in a two-hour period and I know that the souls who are going to speak that night are going to deliver and heal so many people at one time - not just the person I am standing in front of and that's the incredible thing about spirit."
When she's getting ready to do a reading she just starts sensing and feeling things that don't mean anything to her but are life-changing to those with which she will soon be connecting.
Caputo said she doesn't want anyone to be discouraged about not getting a reading during the public forum.
"Honestly, I find when spirit is in large groups, especially in an arena, spirit is able to move me around that space because I'm not on that stage, I will be down in the crowd because spirit is going to guide me around the arena and have me stop and deliver messages right in front of you," Caputo said. "You're going to feel as if you were in my home or your home reconnecting you with the souls of your loved ones."
There will be big screens set up so everyone can watch her in action and there will be a camera that will follow her around just like on her show, the Long Island Medium said.
"It's displayed so you're able to see, feel and be a part of the amazing experience and witness everything up close and personal," Caputo said.
People often take to social media after a show and best describe the experience as life changing, even if they hadn't been read personally, she added.
"They say they realize that others needed to hear from their loved ones more than they did," she added. "And to me, that is absolutely incredible and to realize that is beautiful. The reason so many people are affected is that there is going to be so many things said that night that you're going to be able to connect with."
Caputo said there will also be times when some members of the audience will hear what she's saying and think she's gone crazy but when she starts describing details others in the audience will be raising their hands as the ymake a connecting with her words.
"People will see how it is changing their life and it's absolutely incredible," Caputo said, who said she doesn't know how she does it but during the show she said she feels like the energizer bunny - super charged. Once she's off the stage and back on the bus it's a different story.
"Give me five minutes - I take my make up off, I wash my face and I'm passed out," Caputo laughed.
Caputo gets reflective when talking about the gift she said she's been given.
"This is my soul's journey," she said. "I've learned that I have to take care of myself. I meditate on a regular basis, I learned how to rest my mind, I take care of myself physically. I'm eating right and exercising and you know, just be kinder to myself. We all have to respect ourselves and realize we can't put ourselves on the back burner."
After years of sharing her gift of speaking to dead people Caputo is certain about some things.
"I know we're all placed here on the Earth and each and everyone of us is special and have amazing gifts and it is up to us to find who we are meant to be here in the physical world," she said. "I say this because since the age of four I always said to my mom I don't feel right, I feel different than everyone else - I don't feel like I belong here."
Caputo said her mom would assure her that she wasn't adopted and she belonged and it took Caputo until she was in her 20s to find a way to use her gift.
"But I learned that in life in general when things happen we beat ourselves up," Caputo said. "We don't respect, love and honour ourselves like we deserve to be and even with the loss of a loved one we beat ourselves up with shoulda, coulda, wouldas and only ifs and all of these emotions do not give us the ability to heal. They serve us no purpose. Spirit acknowledges these negative emotions and are telling us to release them to be able to love, honour and respect ourselves the way we deserve to be and to know that they are still with us."
