Welcome to my website.
My name is Barbara Bandel, and I started my psychic medium practice more than 30 years ago; how time flies!
I was born and raised in the Netherlands and am a proud mother of two sons.
I've been invited numerous times to talk about this beautiful profession on TV and radio and give live psychic and audience readings.
I also wrote a book about various interesting psychic topics and what it's like to be a psychic medium.
When I was young
When I was young, I often read photos to my classmates. Seeing dead people and communicating with my spirit guides was normal to me.
As a child, I loved to spend time alone and talk to my guides. As I grew older, I decided to find a 'normal' job. I became a secretary for a couple of years, but it never really fulfilled me.
Giving psychic readings is my true passion. I decided to help as many people as possible.
When I was young, I couldn't find information about (trance) mediumship, psychics, readings or how to develop psychic abilities. There were books here and there in the public library, but that was it.
'If you knew who walked beside you at all times,
you could never experience doubt or fear again' - Wayne Dyer
How do I work?
When I give a psychic reading, I don't want to know anything about you. You can ask questions later in the reading, but I always want to start.
I focus on your energy, and within a few seconds, your guides tell me about you and your life. I repeat what your team of spirit guides tell me.
Commonly, you don't even need to ask questions because your guides will bring the subjects you have questions about. They know your questions and what you are dealing with.
Daily guidance
They are with you daily, knowing your happiness, joy, worries and pain. They know you on a soul level. You already knew your leading guide before you were born.
They know what you want to learn in this lifetime, who you will meet, what you want to accomplish, and how you want to grow as human beings and souls.
Your main guide knows the shortest route to all of this. Your guides know your past, present and future. So, the advice I receive for you is tailor-made. It's not standard advice, suited for anyone.
Your guides know how to get you where you want to go, and that route is different for every person. You can ask any question you wish; there are no weird or stupid questions.
No information
When I give a psychic medium reading, I don't want the information to come from different directions or spirits.
I open myself up, and it is crucial to feel safe and know that the information comes from the purest and highest source.
I don't want any uninvited spirits giving me information that may not be correct. So, a long time ago, I agreed with my main spirit guide, Ben, that he is my 'filter' at all times.
All the information first goes to Ben, who filters it and passes it on to me. That way, I know the information I hear, feel and see comes from the highest possible source.
Collaborative effort
When I give you a reading, it's a collaborative effort. Your spirit guides and Ben work together. If a deceased loved one communicates with me, it's because Ben has given them permission to do so.
I believe in perfect timing and synchronicity. Everything in our lives will happen when all the components are precisely where they need to be.
I can look pretty far into the future, like twenty years ahead. For us humans, one year sounds and feels like a long time. One year is like turning a page for our guides and the Universe.
Self-care
Self-care is a priority for me. I pay close attention to my mental and physical well-being, ensuring that I work when my concentration is at its peak.
It's not only that I have to focus, but I also have to change my brainwave cycle.
When I give a reading, I don't exist. My view on life, subjective opinion, ego, and how I look at specific subjects don't exist.
You want a reading coming from the highest source possible, not a reading where I give you my opinion.
'Before you are born, you decide what you
want to learn in this lifetime'
One of the things I love about giving online psychic readings is that I can tell you who you are. You don't have a soul; you ARE a soul. I love to help you remember who you are and why you chose to be born again.
Before you are born, you decide what you want to learn in this lifetime. You chose your parents, profession, soul purpose, and where you want to live.
You chose your skin color, body shape, who you will meet, when and where, etc. Soulmates agree to meet each other again.
A clean slate
And then you are born, and you forget everything you knew so that you can begin this new life with a clean slate.
As if you've never lived before. But information is still there. It's still inside of you. You can find all that information when you connect with your heart.
You can't click when you are in your mind, your thinking. Meditating is a great way to connect with your heart.
Your soul stores everything you do, every emotion you ever have, everywhere you live and everyone you've met in every lifetime.
Familiar feeling
That's why some people you meet can feel so familiar to you. Like you already know them. You do.
Some people, places or countries feel like coming home to you. It can happen when you go to a city or country you've never been before; you feel like you know exactly where to go.
You have been there before in a previous lifetime. That's why some talents are so easy for you, like you already did this your entire lifetime.
You did, but in previous lifetimes.
I look forward to talking to you.
Love,
Barbara
