Doreen Virtue - an interview

Doreen Virtue is a clairvoyant and Doctor of Psychology who


works with the angelic and elemental realms.

Q1. Doreen, you are known as a person who works directly with Angels to gain
insight and inspiration to help us in our lives. If you can put it into words, what is the
energy of an angel like and how would you describe them in terms of their personality
when they interact with you?
A. If you asked 100 people who there angels were, 50 of them would say they were
deceased loved ones, and the other 50 would say their angels were winged beings.
In my workshops, I conduct mediumship (similar to John Edwards and James Von
Praugh) and also angel readings. That means, that I tell people who their angels and
spirit guides are, and deliver any messages from them. The departed loved ones are
very sweet people, nothing frightening or gorey like depicted in Hollywood movies.
Their personalities are similar to when the person was living.
If someone was spiritual, optimistic, or caring while living, that's how they come
across in a reading. If they were mischievous, then they tend to make a lot of jokes
during the session. During my Friday evening seminar, I'll also help people who worry
how their departed loved one is doing. Many people worry if their deceased loved one
is sad or alone in heaven, and these sessions help to relieve the living's worries.
Q2. When did you have first contact with an angel, and how did you know it was an
angel and not some other entity disguised as one?
A. I was born a psychic medium, although I didn't realize it until much later, because
I couldn't tell which people I was seeing were dead and which were alive. They all
looked 3-D and solid to me. Today, the deceased look more wispy than the living
world, so I am able to distinguish the two. I've always seen the bright lights of the
angels, and I know that lower-entities can't disguise this light, because it only comes
from the Love of God. They could dress up in an angel costume, but they couldn't
mimic the Divine light or the loving messages of true angels.
Q3. Some people believe Jesus' words in the Bible are the only divine source of
guidance -- not angels. What do the angels say in response to such a belief?
A. When I use the term, "angel," I'm using is as an umbrella term to describe anyone
who helps us, and that definitely includes Jesus. I work with him very closely, and
follow his guidance carefully. However, I'm very clear that my mission isn't to "push"
Jesus onto other people, but to live according to his example as best as I can. In my
workshops, I teach people to learn how to better hear the voice of Heaven. For some
people, that means that they'll have more clear interactions with Jesus. For others, it
means that they'll be better able to hear the voice of God, their guardian angel,
departed loved one, an ascended master, or all of the above. People come to my
workshops to learn how to clear the static off the line, so that they can see, hear,

feel, and know their spiritual helpers.


Angels are non-denominational, and that's one reason why I love working with them,
and teaching about them. No one holds wars over angels! All religions, eastern and
western, ancient and modern, have archetypes of benevolent spiritual helpers. They
may use terms other than, "angels" to describe them, but it's clear from their
descriptions that we're all talking about the same thing.
Q4. You will be returning to the Twin Cities for two days, April 19-20, at Unity Church
Golden Valley to present "Messages from Your Angels." What does it really take for an
average person to get such messages on their own, and to what extent is your
mission about helping people to do just that?
A. On Friday night, I'll walk through the audience giving as many readings as possible
to random audience members. I'll also interweave, between the readings, a general
discussion of life-after-death, heaven, and angels. I'll also answer questions, of
course. On Saturday, I'll be teaching audience members how THEY can access these
same sort of messages on their own, without a psychic or other intermediary.
After my life was saved by an angel during a car-jacking in 1995, I asked God how I
could repay him for sending an angel to save my life. I was told, "Teach as many
people as possible, as quickly as possible, how to hear their angels." The very next
day, I embarked on this mission. Since then, I've traveled nearly non-stop around the
globe, teaching tens of thousands of adults and children of all backgrounds.
I help people to clear the fears and doubts that block our spiritual hearing and vision.
I think that my training in psychology (I hold doctoral, masters, and bachelor degrees
in psychology) helps me to identify and clear away these fears. Every weekend, over
seventy percent of the audience tells me that they experience clairvoyance during my
workshops - meaning that they've been able to see an angel, departed loved one,
aura, or some visual symbol in their mind's eye. I constantly hear from audience
members, "This workshop changed my life," because it teaches them how spiritually
powerful they truly are.
Q5. Why should someone make a specific effort to connect with their angels?
A. I feel that it is vital that we all re-open our spiritual gifts and open up to the voice
of the Divine. It is the "emergency broadcast system" that keeps us safe and
protected. After my carjacking, I knew that in times of danger, God always sends
angels. However, I learned first-hand that it was up to me to listen to the angels'
warnings. They tried to help me, but if I hadn't listened, they couldn't have helped
me. The world is changing so rapidly, and many people are paralyzed with fear and
anxiety about the future. The angels can guide us through these changes, and give us
solid guidance that we can trust. They also help us to stay calm during crises, and
heal away negative situations, while extracting the lessons contained therein.
Q6. What's the difference between angels and spirit guides and how does
theinformation given by each compare?

A. The departed loved ones give "down to earth" advice, such as whether to return to
night school; selling their house; their love life; health concerns, and such. You might
say that our departed loved ones function like "micro-managers" when helping us.
Our guardian angels are "macro-managers," who help us with more global and
spiritual concerns, such as our life's purpose, releasing fears and doubts, and
avoiding the ego's traps. It's just as easy to hear the voice of God and the other
higher-ups, as it is to hear the voice of dear old Uncle Fred. For important life issues,
you'll want to contact God, Jesus, or some other pure soul. But there's nothing wrong
with contacting Uncle Fred to say, "Hello, I love you and am thinking of you!" or to
ask him about his secret for clearing 1957 Chevy carburetors.
Q7. Give us a picture of what someone will experience at your event in the Twin
Cities.
A.The workshops are fun and inspiring experiences. For one thing, you're surrounded
by audience members who are like-minded. Many of them have had angel
experiences or recent losses, and I love when audience members create a community
of support and encouragement for each other. On Friday night, I walk through the
audience with a wireless microphone, so that I can give as many readings as
possible.
Usually, the departed loved ones will call me over to their living loved one, and ask
me to deliver specific messages. So, I'll follow their lead. The angels and ascended
masters come through to let the person know that their prayers have been heard,
and are being answered. Saturday morning begins with a wonderful concert with the
incredible band, "Angel Earth," who is touring with me. Then, I give a general
overview of the most common fears and doubts that block our Divine guidance and
intuition. I firmly believe that all of us possess spiritual gifts that allow us to see and
hear angels, if we'll only give up these fears. Then, after the morning break, the
audience members enjoy a deep, clearing meditation with the angels accompanied by
beautiful music.
They conduct angel readings on each other, learning how to do mediumship, see and
interpret aura colors (which reveal our life purpose and general emotional state), and
to see and hear the voices of angels. They might see these angels in their mind's eye,
as whispy fragments, or as full-color, three-dimensional visions - everyone is
different. But the point is that these angel readings help audience members to get
corroboration that validates their spiritual visions as being real, instead of imaginary.
At the end of the day, we hold question and answer sessions. And graduates of my
Angel Therapy Practitioner course are on-hand to provide personal counseling or
encouragement for audience members.
Q 8. For those who plan to see you in April, what advance homework would you give
if they would like to prepare in advance for what you will be teaching them?
A. No homework or preparation is needed for Friday night - just come as you are, and
be prepared for some powerful and very pleasant experiences. I am not out to
convert or convince anyone about life-after-death or angels. I think that only
experiences can create our beliefs. So, my only goal is to create experiences where

people can make up their own minds about what they believe.
On Saturday, we ask that you dress in layers, as the room temperature fluctuates due
to the influx of angels in and out of the room. Also, it's great to bring a pillow and
blanket, so that you can lie down during the morning meditation. Someone once
commented that my meditations look like slumber parties - people don't fall asleep,
but the angels do take them to a very deep place in the unconscious, where healing
can occur.
Q9. I understand you will be joined by some special musical guests, the international
group AngelEarth. Describe why you chose to have them accompany you and what
effect does their music have on you?
A. I'll tell you, God is so good to me! Angel Earth is one of the greatest bands I've
ever had the privilege of knowing, hearing, and working with! The band consists of
Michael Wise on guitar and lead vocals, his son Sean on bass and vocals, and Mark
Watson on keyboards. They travel all over the U.S. and Canada with me, and
audiences are wowed by their talent and music skills! Every weekend, their music
sounds better than ever! People keep telling me, "When I first heard them, I thought
they were lip-sinking to a C.D., because their sound is so rich, I couldn't imagine it
was live music." The band plays original and cover soft rock before and after the
workshops. And Mark Watson plays the most amazing meditative piano music during
the angel meditations. His music just takes people away from ordinary consciousness!
Q10. Our featured topic this month is on death and dying. What special message do
the angels have for our readers at this time on how to cope with the fear of dying or
the loss of a loved one or pet? Mediumship is the fastest route to healing from grief
that I've found. I used to practice traditional grief counseling, but I've given it up in
favor of mediumship and angel therapy.
Most grief comes from the living person being worried about their departed loved
one. They worry, "Is my loved one happy? Are they in heaven? Are they angry with
me? Could I have prevented the death? Was I there for them enough? Are they alone
in heaven?" and so forth. Of course, they miss the physical presence of their departed
loved one, but the large share of grief are these worries. Through mediumship, you
get rapid answers to these questions. You begin to understand that there's no such
thing as death. Only the body dies. The soul and personality live on. Not only that,
but the soul is usually much happier in heaven. If they didn't finish their life's
purpose, they'll often act as "spirit guide" to the living person, to vicariously fulfill
their mission through that living person. There are many ways to conduct
mediumship, and we'll be going through them thoroughly during the Saturday
workshop. Some of the methods include seeing a medium such as myself at a
workshop, seeing a medium privately, writing a letter to a departed loved one,
holding silent conversations with the loved one, or asking the loved one to visit you in
your dreams.
But most of all, remember to tell your loved ones, living or deceased, that you love
them. We can't say those words too often!
