I cried out, Mom, we have to say goodbye to Grandma! Surprised by my own words, I paused before continuing, We have to go now. She’s going to die tonight. Getting a strong feeling when you first meet someone. He described an experience where he got a feeling that the person he just met would be someone significant and that he felt he was meant to play a role in this person’s life. As we hurried to the car, my mother’s phone rang. A feeling of familiarity nagged at me. What started as an unexplainable certainty was now becoming a reality before my eyes: my mom answered the call, and she was informed that my grandmother had taken her final breath only moments before. This would foreshadow a lifetime of readings in which messages would come through, for which I simply couldn’t understand the context. Time and time again, I would be taught that context isn’t essential to being a conduit. Trusting that what I was interpreting intuitively was factual—without analysis—was the first step required in putting the validity of the messages to the test.

I’d had no prior discussions with my family about souls being able to communicate after death. I didn’t know whether my parents would find my interaction to be comforting or disturbing, especially in light of having predicted my grandmother’s passing. I knew that both my parents attended church and that my extended family was deeply religious, with rigid beliefs. I struggled to fit my experience into their framework. If after death there is only heaven and hell, how was my newly deceased grandmother in my room? I understand that my ability is a gift and not something for which I can take any credit. I’m just a conduit for information to come through and reach those who are open to hearing it—something we all have a natural ability to do, to varying degrees. Practice breeds consistency, and the more we develop and trust in our gut feelings, the more significantly and accurately our intuition can help us. Even after doing countless readings, I still have to remind myself daily to “get out of my own way” and allow myself to be a clear vessel through which messages can flow. Suddenly, I was jolted awake with a feeling of total alertness. I was not alone in my room. Just as my eyes adjusted to the darkness, a light appeared. Was it a car’s headlights beaming in from the street? I rubbed my eyes. Standing at the foot of my bed appeared a figure. It looked like a considerably younger version of my newly deceased, elderly grandmother. To this day, I am amazed by how calm my ten-year-old self was about this event. My dead grandmother was standing at the foot of my bed, smiling, and enveloped in golden light. Though she looked forty years younger than I’d ever seen her, her essence was unmistakable. Tyler Henry discovered his gift for communicating with the departed when he was just ten years old. After experiencing a sudden, accurate premonition of his grandmother’s death—what Tyler would later describe as his first experience of “knowingness”—life would never be the same. Now in his twenties, Tyler is a renowned, practicing medium, star of the smash hit E! reality show, Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry , and go-to clairvoyant of celebrities, VIP’s, and those simply looking for closure and healing. He has worked with some of Hollywood’s biggest names including Khloe Kardashian, Amber Rose, Margaret Cho, Jaime Pressly, and Monica Potter.More than ever, people are coming forward and sharing their experiences with after-death communication. Through television and film, the question of whether life exists beyond death has captivated our popular culture—not because it’s a new question, but because people are opening their minds to new answers. When I first got the call that my television show, Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, had been green-lighted, I promised to make it my purpose to explore whatever answers came my way and to share them honestly with the world. That’s the mission I’m still on, and my own questions multiply by the day. With all the different opinions about mediumship and psychic phenomena in circulation, I aim to provide unique, easy-to-understand explanations, obtained through my firsthand experiences. I understand that my ability is a gift and not something for which I can take any credit. I’m just a conduit for information to come through and reach those who are open to hearing it—something we all have a natural ability to do, to varying degrees. Practice breeds consistency, and the more we develop and trust in our gut feelings, the more significantly and accurately our intuition can help us. Even after doing countless readings, I still have to remind myself daily to get out of my own way and allow myself to be a clear vessel through which messages can flow. How we should try to be more childlike if we want to develop our intuition – being open, receptive, nonjudgmental, removing bias, and allowing our imagination to soar. The next evening, as I settled into bed, I lay down and closed my eyes. After the harrowing previous twenty-four hours, I tried to quiet my emotions. As I began dozing off, I noticed a sweet fragrance wafting into the room. It was distinctly familiar. In my half-conscious state, I realized that this scent was the same flowery perfume my grandmother wore when I was a little boy. As Tyler’s grandmother was terminally ill with cancer in April of 2006, he began having strong intuitive hunches that would later turn into a series of profound visions that proved to be true. After a series of life changing events (including a near death experience), Tyler’s passion, calling, and life purpose has been to bring clarity, closure, and evidence to those he is privileged to read.

It is noticeable from a writing standpoint, that a ghostwriter undoubtedly was used because there is no way a 20 year old speaks in this manner or can describe situations/philosophy in such a way. This does cause some inconsistencies in the text but this isn’t a bad thing and “Between Two Worlds” is still quite worthy. From Tyler Henry, clairvoyant and star of E!’s hit reality series Hollywood Medium with Tyler Henry, comes Between Two Worlds, a captivating memoir about his journey as a medium thus far. At ten years old, I’d just had my first experience with what could only be described as a knowingness. This feeling wasn’t just a hunch. It was a conviction that did not waver, despite not understanding from where it had come. Since that day, a bizarre knowingness would change every aspect of life and death, as I came to understand them. Having never learned before what precognition or intuition is, I was deeply confused by what happened. Why had I awoken in a manner unlike anything I’d ever experienced—imparted with unknowable information and an urgent need to communicate it?I recently bought two of Medium (yes, that kind of Medium!) Tyler Henry’s books (you may know him from his TV show Hollywood Medium from a few years ago — which I’ve never seen and had actually never heard of before being recommended his new Netflix series Life After Death with Tyler Henry which I wrote about here).
