Psychic Phenomena – A Modern Mystery
Jane Doherty thinks of herself as a psychic who has been given her ability by God. She believes that her powers can help her give comfort to people who have been left behind in the world by their loved ones. Many of her clients believe in her powers and her caring attitude towards the bereaved people she comes in contact with.
Jane’s reality TV series, Dead Tenants documents the adventures of the Preternatural Research Society as they investigate haunted houses. The society is made aware of the ghostly activities by the living tenants of the houses. The series gives the audience details about a haunted house’s historical background as well as details of hauntings.
Jane Doherty is not your average psychic practitioner. Jane has quite a strong reaction to ghosts. And keeping her reaction under control has never been easy. In fact it is impossible. The size of her stomach grows by as much as six inches. Ghosts can do that to you.
Jane says that this stomach expanding feels just like going into labor. The sensation apparently dies down when the spirit departs. She says it is a sensation similar to cramping muscles and it happened to her for the first time in 1990 when she went into her first haunted house.
So how do you explain this weird phenomenon? Well, if you believe in the ancient Buddhist teaching about chakras, you will know that the third chakra is at the solar plexus, the center of a person’s psychic abilities like clairvoyance and telepathy. Other teachings define the belly as the center of the body’s energy. If you don’t believe in that kind of stuff then you are still in the dark.
Jane has written a book called Awakening The Mystic Gift: The Surprising Truth About What It Means To Be A Psychic. Hopefully the book’s contents are more compelling than its title but if your thoughts are occupied with how you can best use your psychic abilities to help people then maybe there’s not much room left to think of catchy titles.
In fact many people have been sincerely impressed with Jane’s book which not only tells about her life as a psychic but also tells the reader how to open up their own psychic powers. There are people who have come into contact with Jane and not been convinced of her sincerity. One man even writes of how he resisted her continued suggestion that her stomach was getting bigger in spite of the fact that he could feel no change.
Why people put themselves about as being psychic is a mystery. All they seem to get for their trouble is book publishing deals and reality TV series.
