Our ancestors

This book was taken from the idea that I wanted to leave something behind for my grandchildren and great-grandchildren. 

I want them to be able to read who I was long after I have transitioned to "the other side." 

It's a shame that we know so little about our ancestors. Don't you feel a sense of loss, not knowing who they were or how they experienced life? Have you ever wondered about the dreams and wishes of our ancestors? Were they able to see them come true? 

So, I started to write about my life and work as a psychic medium. While writing, all the memories and remarkable stories came back to me. I remembered the time when I accurately predicted a friend's pregnancy, or the day I first discovered my psychic abilities. These are the moments that shaped my life and work. 

Memories

Memories of all the readings I have given and all the wonderful people I have met. So, what initially started as a "book" for my great-grandchildren became a book I wanted to publish. 

When Covid came, I had more time to write. It is now November 2022, and I finished and published my book. 

I loved this whole process of writing and creating together with my spirit guides. They added valuable information. 

We take you into my private life and my life as a psychic medium. I share some of the most beautiful readings but also the challenging ones. Some had a significant impact on my life because of their emotional depth. 

Ben

My spirit guide, Ben, shares his view on several life topics, and he shares helpful exercises and meditations to help you grow your awareness and psychic abilities. It's fascinating how much knowledge our guides have. They can also be thought-provoking and very humorous.

Whether new to the paranormal world or not, this book is easy to read and suitable for everyone.

I am grateful for working with my spirit guides. It is unbelievable how patient they are with everyone, including me! I am thankful for my life and all the readings I have given, and I look forward to the psychic readings I will give in the future.

 

With love,

Barbara & Ben

The Chapters:

 

1. Love Beyond 9/11 

Love is something eternal. The aspect may change, but not the essence. - Vincent van Gogh.

Two women, unknown to each other, living on different continents, are united by the love of a firefighter who died in one of the Twin Towers.

 

2. I Am Still Here

There is no death, only a change of worlds. - Chief Seattle.

Signs and evidence from "the other side" show that our loved ones left their body, but their soul is very much alive. And they are eager to let us know!

 

3. Seven, The Inconvenient Truth

Sometimes, painful things can teach us lessons we did not think we needed to know.

How my seventh year of life changed my life forever.

 

4. We Create Our Own Reality

What you think, you become. What you feel, you attract. What you imagine, you create.

Our thoughts can be our biggest enemy but also our biggest ally. How can you create what you want instead of what you don't want?

 

5. Readings In My Private Time

A job is not just a job; it is who you are.

I am available 24/7 when spirit guides want to give help or address a warning to someone. This happens more often than you may think.

 

6. Awareness

Awareness is like the sun. When it shines on things, they are transformed. - Thich Nhat Hanh.

What is awareness, and how can you expand and deepen this?

 

7. Reading During Surgery

In the universe, there are things that are known and things that are unknown. And in between, there are doors. - William Blake

My out-of-body experience during an operation where I met deceased loved ones: family from the nurse who held my hand while I fell into a deep sleep. I had to pass their messages on to her. It was the closest I have ever got to heaven (till now).

 

8. How much does she know?

Childhood should be carefree, playing in the sun. Not living a nightmare in the darkness of the soul. - Dave Pelzer.

My spirit guide, Ben, said the child molester/psychopath was wondering; How much does she know? What can she see? It was a horrifying reading.

 

9. Conditional vs. Unconditional

To give and not expect in return, that is what lies at the heart of love. - Oscar Wilde.

What is the difference between conditional and unconditional? How can you create stress-free relationships with everyone around you, including yourself?

 

10. Karma

Life is an echo. What you send out, comes back. What you sow, you reap. What you give, you get. What you see in others, is in you. Judge others, you will be judged. Radiate and give love, and love will come back to you.

What is Karma, and how do you witness this in your life? Yes, Karma is often sweet but also a bitch. 

 

11. Darkness

Those who fear the darkness have no idea what the light can do. - Katasai Rakshasa

Sometimes, dark energy/dark entities want to scare us. Why do they do that? What do they want from us?

 

12. (Un)Explainable Events

Some things neither end up in a bad way nor in a good way. Some things are unexplainable. - Nivedita Mishra.

We can experience things that make us question what has happened. Strange things, beautiful things, eyebrow-raising things. I share some of my most (un)explainable ones with you.

 

13. Let Your Soul Do The Talking

Quiet the mind, and the soul will speak. - Ma Jaya Sati Bhagavati.

Higher Self exercise to find out what your soul wants. Are you HSP and emotionally intelligent? Who is your Future Self and Oversoul? What is a Soul Group? What is the essence of why you are here on Earth? What is the Splitting of the world?

 

14. Build A Life That Reflects Your Soul

The beauty of you is how you wear who you are. - Timothy Egart.

Exercise to build the life you want to live, step-by-step. Ben shares meditations about healing. Where do I come from? Contact with your Soul Group, Oversoul and Future Self. He also explains about your own cocoon, how to use it, what you can do inside your cocoon, and how does it look on the out- and inside? Your personal cocoon is eternal - just like your soul- it travels with you during every life and in between lives.

 

Some 5-star reviews:

 

My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories by Barbara Bandel is a non-fiction memoir and guide in which Bandel shares her experiences as a psychic medium.

The book includes exercises and meditations to expand and deepen your awareness. Bandel begins with a brief introduction covering the backstory, her spirit guide, and her work.

She then transitions into a wide range of her experiences, from communicating with the deceased son of a dear friend who had taken his own life to her first encounters with photographs that trigger sight and intense energy at the age of seven.

This is followed by a transcendental journey while under an anesthetic for surgery that put Bandel in touch with the family of the nurse holding her hand.

As someone who is not a psychic medium but is fascinated by the gift, My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories intrigued me from the beginning.

This is usually where the appeal ends because there is a massive difference between talking about experiences and writing about them in an engrossing way. Barbara Bandel is not only a psychic with some incredible stories to share, but she is also a talented author who can convey her experiences engagingly.

I loved the meditation techniques but admit that I have not yet dared to try them. When I am ready, Bandel's guidance is where I will start.

This is a beautiful tribute to all those Bandel has made contact with and for, and a wonderful piece of literature for those of us who want to read, listen and absorb. Highly recommended.

Barbara Bandel’s My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories is an enlightening guidebook for the soul.

It is designed to open the hearts and minds of readers to their souls’ primary goal on earth, which is to learn, grow, and expand their consciousness.

Easy to read, I found the author’s personal stories informative and entertaining.

Drawing from the wisdom of her spiritual guides, this is essentially a book about the meaning of life, suitable for anyone looking for ways to nourish their body and soul so that they can go on a journey of spiritual discovery and connect with their spiritual side.

Ultimately, this book will enrich readers’ lives in subtle but substantial ways.

Switching off from the bustle of the modern world can be a very difficult thing indeed when we’re facing constant stimulation from the media and stress from many sources.

Books like these help you to remember that love, peace, and harmony should be at the core of what we strive for every day.

I loved all the different aspects of author Barbara Bandel’s work, from her perspective on spiritualism, life, death, love, and trust that she offers, through well-penned anecdotes and her gentle, friendly narration, to the well-organized advice she offers as a mentor to anyone seeking more opportunities for meditation and rumination on their extrasensory perceptions.

Fans of mediumship are sure to enjoy the variety of her stories and experiences, but what impressed me very deeply was the genuine desire to help and comfort others.

Overall, I found My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories to be a highly engaging, motivational, and enriching read, and I would highly recommend it.

My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories by Barbara Bandel was well-written and it is the first book I have ever read about a real-life psychic.

It helped me to understand what a psychic does and the profound experiences they can have from their contact with spirits.

Whilst I enjoyed reading about the different spirits, it was the 9/11 firefighter spirit that really touched me the most; like the author, I can remember exactly where I was and what I was doing when the awful event took place.

In addition to finding the author’s encounters interesting, I also found her lessons on mediation to be both informative and understandable.

I have tried mediation before without much success, but I felt the author was able to give me a much better grounding on mediation than I have ever had before and this awakened a desire in me to try it again.

Overall, I found this book to be a worthwhile read that left me hoping the author will write another book, sharing more of her history with spirits.

Anyone who has lost someone dear to them would benefit from reading this book. Even pet owners could gain peace after their beloved pet has crossed the rainbow bridge, as Barbara Bandel describes her interaction with deceased humans and animals.

Many grieving persons could find comfort in her narrative in which she points out signs that a loved one is near.

Many individuals did not recognize these signs or symbols, but they now understand that their treasured friends and family are still around them.

The theme of the book is peace and inner understanding, and that resonates in every word. The stories will appeal to readers who embrace the spiritual realm.

The author and “Ben” guide readers through a series of exercises than can help expand their awareness. Bandel’s words will remain with the reader long after the book is finished and may inspire them to search for a deeper understanding of themselves.

My Most Memorable Psychic Readings and Personal Stories would be a suitable gift for anyone who has lost somebody dear to them, for as long as the reader has an open mind the stories in the book will provide comfort.
