My husband and I loved his program. A friend sent two tickets to see John Edward when he appeared in Miami and I attended with 3000 other close friends. (My husband had passed away and didn't use the other ticket. And no, he didn't come through.) If the man is a fraud and a cheat, so what? He called on five or six people in the audience, who might have been "planted" but the good feelings that everyone left with was worth so much. At that time in my life, I would have paid twice that to feel the good and fun and spiritual of the people around me. Luckily, I didn't have to. I came away not knowing conclusively if he talks to the dead or not, or if he's psychic or not, but I do know he makes a lot of people feel good and that to me is a real treasure.
Now watch how many nay-sayers give me thumbs down.

John Edward claims to be able to communicate with the dead - and he is so good at the technique known as "Cold Reading" that he has managed to convince lots of people that his claims are true. He does not, however, fare very well when subject to careful scrutiny by skeptics who know what they are doing.
- he's a psychological snake oil salesman. He makes people feel better and entertains others, but it's all through deception. He plays on people's fears and dreams in order to make money. Edward has also specifically said he doesn't care about the accuracy of his work - now how's that for an ethical attitude? Being right isn't important, just "connecting" with people who have been given the expectation that he will be right - for a fee, naturally.

We are all born with Psychic senses everyone you talk too Yes even YOU, has one or more psychic sense some people choose to enhance them others just ignore them others may just shut them down.
Senses are
Sight: Eyes "Clairvoyance" Spiritual Body "Eye" (called the Third Eye)
Sound: Ears "Clairaudience" Spiritual Body "Ear"
Touch: Skin "Clairsentience" Spiritual Body "Skin"
Taste: Tongue/Nose "Clairlinguance" Spiritual Body "Tongue"
Smell: Nose "Clairolerance" Spiritual Body "Nose"
*Know: Brain "Claircognizance" Spiritual Body "Mind"
Clairaudience - Intuitive
This is a person who will pick up a thought and hear it. This persons mental or intellectual understanding is very important and they can make good leaders. We all know someone that we would say was a mental person, always having to understand mentally. They carefully think things through. If this person were to become enlightened they would have the ability to become a medium, someone who channels information from entities who have passed over, because their most heightened sensitivity is to hear.
Clairvoyance- Visionary
This is a person who will pick up a thought and see it. This person has the ability to transform a thought into a vision, symbol or in colour by using their mind's eye. If an artist, a decorator, a creative person, someone who mainly uses the right side of their brain were to become enlightened they would have the ability to read auras, our chakras, draw guides and this is how they would channel what they received because the ability to see images is their most heightened sensitivity.
Clairsentience - Prophetic (1)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and just knows it. This person is sensitive to precognition and has hunches, dreams and knowings and this person usually deals with the future or present and how it will affect another. If you were to meet an enlightened Prophetic you would be able to get some information about your 'line of probability', tomorrow is not set in time remember. This could be a person who has a dream about something and that dream turns out to happen in reality. They have the ability of prediction because they 'just know' and can tune into and understand their hunches.
Clairsentience - Feeler (2)
This is a person who will pick up a thought and transform it immediately into a feeling. This persons life can revolve around how it feels to them. Their sense of touch is well-developed and they have the ability to know people by feeling what they feel. After enlightenment, this is someone would have the ability to practice psychometry. The ability to put something belonging to someone in their hand and read the energy. Depending on their other gifts, they could tell the past, present or future from the energy. They have the ability to feel how others feel but only on the emotional level. They will be able to not only empathise but experience their pain, loss, grief etc. For instance, if they were to channel energy from a persons past life they would experience the pain and hurt that that soul experienced in that past lifetime.
Clairgustance - Taste
Clairgustance is being aware of tastes without putting anything physically in the mouth. To perceive the essence of a substance through taste from the spiritual or ethereal realms. The sensation of what one is tasting is often linked to a spirit on the other side.
Claircognizance - Know
The sense of knowing through our brain, even though it is not a physical sense, simply because it has a corresponding metaphysical sense known as claircognizance, or knowing without knowing how you know.
Clairolerance - The Smell
The sense of Smelling different fragrances from Spirits to find that earthly connection, strong odours you can't escape and can't explain a reason for eg: Cooking odours, Perfumes, Perfumes, Cigars or Cigarettes, Flowers, Extra. The characteristic essence linked to a spirit on the other side.
Psychometry - Touch
Psychometry is another form of psychic divination using the sense of touch to get mental impression linked to it. Psychometric impressions may come in the form of emotions, sounds, scents, tastes or images. The visions can appear is single flat images, much like a photo, or as animations. As we exist in an electromagnetic energy reality, metal objects often work best.
Love & Blessings

I used to watch him all the time then something made me stop. I can't get into him anymore. I think he's interesting. But unless the guy is giving me a reading I can't take him seriously.
