John Edward Explores His Role as a Psychic Medium and Teacher

An established psychic medium, John Edward engages with participants at Interactive events in helping them reach out and communicate with loved ones on the Other Side. Appearing on the Oprah Winfrey Show in 2014, John Edward described his role as one of being a conduit between those who inhabit the physical world and those who have passed on.

As Mr. Edward puts it, those on the Other Side “beam me their energy and I interpret it” in ways that make sense to the person he is reading. Oprah found the use of the term “energy” in a psychic context interesting, as it related to what she had explored on a previous program about “The Secret,” where people were characterized as vibrating energies, or frequencies. She was most interested in understanding why Mr. Edward would be selected as a bridge for the transference of energy from the Other Side.

Mr. Edward explained that, more than anything, this had to do with his role as a teacher. He sees his function as one of educating those with whom he interacts about “where they are in their lives” and how this can help them. The “pivotal moments” he draws out as a medium empower people in practical ways that influence their life decisions and ability to move on from a loss or tragedy.
