In
case you haven’t been paying attention
to all the media hype, there are people in this world who can communicate
with spirits from the other side. They are called psychic mediums, or what
I prefer to describe as “spirit messengers.” Whatever you prefer to
call them, these spiritually gifted folks actually can
see dead people—just like in the movie The
Sixth Sense (although it is not at all scary the way Hollywood
portrayed it).
You have probably heard
of some of the more famous psychic mediums like John Edward, Sylvia
Browne, George Anderson or James Van Praagh. All are bestselling authors
and have been featured all over the media, including television shows like
Larry King Live, Montel Williams, 20/20, 60 Minutes and Oprah. John Edward
even has his own immensely popular television show.
But there are also many lesser-known psychic mediums who are as equally
gifted as these major publicity moguls.
Mediumship is a rare
gift, but there are more genuine and legitimate psychic mediums in the world than
most people might expect. I have had the opportunity to meet some of the
most gifted psychic mediums on the planet who are not
widely known or highly publicized. These psychic mediums have as much to offer as
the celebrity psychic mediums we watch on television and read about in their
books. This is why I feel compelled to tell the world about them through
my writing, so as to guide people toward the genuine
psychic mediums and away from the phonies and frauds (yes, they exist too).
One of these incredibly
gifted, although not so famous, psychic mediums is from the Boston area.
While she may not be widely known across the country, she has already
earned a high reputation among Bostonians, even many New Englanders. Her
name is Rita Berkowitz, and she takes the gift of psychic mediumship to a new
level—she can draw the
spirits she sees as a psychic medium. Rita Berkowitz is known as a Spirit Artist.
As if communicating with
your deceased relatives wasn’t exciting enough, Rita Berkowitz also gives you a
spirit drawing as additional “tangible” evidence that these people
coming through in the reading continue to exist. Imagine getting a drawing
of your deceased parent, grandparent, spouse, child or friend from a woman
who has never met you and knows absolutely nothing about you. How much
peace-of-mind might that provide you to know that your loved-one is still
alive and well—and watching over you—in the spirit world? The
emotional benefits of such a priceless gift are life-changing.
Once I had heard about
Rita Berkowitz from other well-respected psychic mediums, I couldn’t wait to get
a drawing done by her. After years meeting some extremely gifted psychic mediums, I felt I had seen it all. Then Rita’s gift exceeded my belief
system once again.
During the reading, Rita Berkowitz communicated with my deceased
father and grandmother as several psychic mediums had done before her, telling me
things about my life that she could never have known or even guessed. Then
came the shocking new twist. After verbally describing my grandmother with
details about her skin, her eyes, her hair and her style of dress, Rita
Berkowitz then drew a picture of my grandmother as if she were sitting right there
in the room with us.
Since I was used to
getting readings from psychic mediums, I rarely got emotional the way I once had
when I was new to mediumship. But seeing my grandmother’s face appear on
Rita’s drawing pad was an especially emotional experience. Of course,
Rita was also offering me verbal messages from my grandmother, so the
combination of verbal communication and visual validation added an extra
impact to the reading. It was a special bonus to be able to walk away from
the reading with something as concrete as this drawing to share with my
friends and family members.
I also had the
opportunity to look at Rita Berkowitz's portfolio of spirit drawings. Inside the
portfolio are copies of some drawings she has done throughout her career
as a psychic medium and spirit artist. Next to these drawings, Rita has
photographs of each person she drew, taken while they were still here on
earth. Rita’s clients brought these photographs back from home "after" the
drawings were done, sometimes years later. Seeing these photographs next
to the drawings is a poignant experience. The resemblance can be so
remarkable that it makes the hair stand up on the back of your neck.
Some of the drawings look
exactly like the photographs, even with the same ponytail in the hair, the
same jewelry or the same clothing. Still, some of the photographs are not
one-hundred percent exact, but the facial distinctions (the eyes, nose,
ears or mouth) are so clear and obvious that there is no question who Rita
was drawing. Even when an artist draws a person who is still living, the
drawing is not always an identical portrayal. But you know who the person
is because the artist captures the most significant attributes of that
person’s face.
In my grandmother’s
case, it was the eyes that were the first identifying marker. My
grandmother had markings under her eyes that were unique, and Rita
Berkowitz’s
drawing made me feel as if my grandmother was looking straight at me. Rita
also perfectly matched the hair, mouth and even the dress style (if not an
exact dress she used to wear). Plus, Rita was able to verbally describe my
grandmother’s sallow skin, her brownish hazel eyes, her slightly crooked
nose, and her “home perm”—all details that she made sure to describe
in words in case her chalks could not properly duplicate the color, shape
or texture.
Rita Berkowitz is a gifted psychic
medium who doesn’t need her drawings to alter one’s life with her
readings. Her gift of spirit communication alone can change the course of
one’s life. I know the messages she gave to me from my grandmother were
as valuable as the picture she drew. And being a counselor, Rita is
professionally capable of dealing with the many issues that may come up
during a reading, bereavement issues being just one. But it is Rita’s
spirit artistry that clearly sets her gift apart from other psychic mediums, and
allows her to give something extra to her clients.
You may also ask Rita to
draw one of your “spirit guides.” Spirit guides are souls from the
spirit world who watch over us and guide us through life. We may know them
from this lifetime, but not necessarily. A spirit guide may be someone we
know from another lifetime, or know only from our time in the spirit
world. Their assistance may never be completely known or understood while
we are here on earth, but their help to us is invaluable. Many people
enjoy knowing what their spirit guide looks like, and some believe that
the drawing brings them closer to that guide. Whatever your beliefs, Rita
Berkowitz has been very successful drawing spirit guides and many of her clients
have raved to me about the personal and spiritual benefits they received
from that service.
Rita
Berkowitz does
psychic medium readings, spirit drawings, or a combination of the two for
her clients. She can do these over the telephone to anyone in the world,
as well as in person. If you have her do a drawing by phone, she can mail
it to you. Her fees are generously priced. As I’ve said before, most
people don’t think twice about spending the same amount of money going
out to eat, buying a new outfit or splurging on some new shoes; why not
invest in something that could benefit your life in such a positive way?
Call Rita today at 781-871-2563. And to be fair, I should warn you that
many of the psychic mediums we have written about in the past have become so busy
that they needed to increase their prices just to meet the demand. Call
Rita now while her prices are so very reasonable.

PS, On this page you'll notice Rita
Berkowitz's spirit drawing of my great, great grandfather, Julius (see
drawing and photo of Civil War soldier). This came from a telephone
reading I had with Rita in which she mailed me the drawing. I had to ask
my mother to mail me the only photo of Julius known to my family, which my
aunt had in her files. The photo my mother sent arrived in the mail about
the same time as the spirit drawing from Rita, and I was absolutely amazed
at the resemblance. Obviously, Rita saw Julius as a little older than the
photo my mother sent, but there is no question that Rita drew Julius with
incredible accuracy. My wife, Melissa, recently had the spirit drawing
framed for me as a birthday present.
