I'm Becky Walsh 33 in 2005. I am a psychic medium and spiritual teacher. I teach psychic development at the College of Psychic Studies in London. I give readings on people's life issues, I also do trance, physical mediumship, platform mediumship, psychometry, remote-viewing, channelling, paranormal investigations, spirit release energy clearing and spiritual inspiration. The co-author of the forthcoming books Behind the Curtain; West End Theatre Ghosts Revealed and Acting with Spirit; Change your life dramatically!
I discovered I had strong psychic abilities when other people found me to be strange. I didn't think that having these abilities was strange because it was all I knew, I thought everyone was the same as me.
The most prominent memory was when I was at a sleep over at a friend's house; I must have been about seven years old. I talked to my friend's Mum whilst she was doing the washing up, I could tell she was really upset and worrying about her marriage. I started what's known as channeling, which is connecting with a higher source, and started to give her advice. She didn't say anything. She put me in my coat; I was still in my pajamas, and took me home. At my front door, she told my Mum she didn't want me playing with her daughter anymore because I was, spooky. I realized then that it's often wise to keep my mouth shut. After that I didn't use my psychic skills until I was at secondary school. Our school was arranged into blocks of classrooms and I used to use my psychic skills to be able to find where the boys I had a crush on were!
Before I made my living full time as a psychic I worked as a Stage Manager in West End theatre in London, mostly on musicals.
I was employed as Assistant Stage Manager on the musical West Side Story. I was then asked to call the show (literally cueing all the changes that happen in a show) once a week as the Deputy Stage Manager was going on holiday. As I am dyslexic and not able to read music this was a big job for me to learn to do this and I worked really hard! It took three weeks, but I was calling the show to a good standard.
Two months later I had a dream. In the dream I was at the show, my boss, with whom I never got on terribly well, was laughing and telling me I could no longer call the show. In the dream I was very angry. I smashed the set up, throwing the balcony truck over with Maria still singing to Tony. I awoke with a panic, feeling that I could have handled the situation a lot better. Spirit calmly said to me 'time to work with us'. The dream stayed with me through the afternoon performance that day. At the half hour call, my boss came over to me laughed and walked away. I knew something was wrong, so I went to the office. Sure enough, I was then sacked from my job without good reason. Remembering my dream, I remained very calm. I was told I could leave now or stay and work the show that night. I stayed and worked the show, which is not what anyone would expect someone who has just been fired to do. I did a great show. For weeks after I stayed angry, and took steps to take the firm to court via equity for unfair dismissal. But I then remembered what Spirit said at the time of the dream 'time to work with us'. So I let go of the court case and set about changing my life to be in a position to work for Spirit.
I now have a very strong bond with my guides. I spent a long time asking my main guide his name and where he was from. I kept hearing back 'It's so unimportant'. But I nagged and nagged. Finally he said his name was Marcus. He said if I'm in a difficult situation I put my left hand on my right shoulder and he will put his hand on top of mine, so I can physically feel him and I don't need his name. I then nagged him about where he was from. He said he was a brick layer from Essex, I was so disappointed! I believed if I had a cool guide from an amazing place that would make me a better medium. He said that spirit guides show themselves in their "celebrity" life time, if you like. That way people respect their guidance more, but this is because of our own understanding of the way the world works, not the way Spirit see it. Marcus has had many life times, still not sure he ever lived in Essex, but his celebrity life time he was in Atlantis.
I went for a pizza with my now ex-boyfriend. I had asked Spirit for a relationship with someone who would understand and support my work as a psychic medium, and as if to order my next boyfriend's Mum and Dad both turned out to be psychics! As he had grown up with it, he had a need for proof which he was searching for. I was allowing Spirit to talk through me so my boyfriend could ask questions. He said 'Why can't you move things, like that salt cellar? Why can't I see you?' Spirit then said 'They had never tried this before, but they would give it a go'. My face felt very strange and I lost the sight in one eye. With the other eye I could see my boyfriend turn white. He told me that my face was changing into that of a man's face, one eye was green and the other blue. Spirit then said that he was finding doing this uncomfortable and moved away, as he did so he touched my boyfriend's hand. My boyfriend was really freaked out and kept asking me if I was alright. I felt fine, and it didn't effect me. It was only when Ian Shillito and myself did an investigation of the Fortune theatre for our book Behind the Curtain: West End Theatre Ghosts Revealed did I get to see for myself what had freaked my boyfriend out. I allowed the ghost of the show 'The Woman in Black' to transfigure my face, which is what had happened in the restaurant. We captured this moment in a photograph, but even now I find it hard to look at it. I know I was in complete control, but that face is spooky!

Working with spirit has never been spooky. I once had a client who wanted me to do a reading on his underpants, and asked me to take them off for him! I've been more spooked out by the living than the dead!
My first realization that the voices were the dead and not my imagination was a bit spooky for me at that time. I was in a cabin on a cruise ship with a Magician and a Cabaret singer. We were talking about whether there was such a thing as real magic. The magician said that there wasn't. I said I could tell people things about themselves though holding items that belonged to them (Psychometry). The cabaret singer gave me her ring. The visions and information I was being given came as quite a shock, not like I had had before. I became aware this item had belonged to her mother. She was wearing this ring at the time of a fatal accident. I didn't know where her mother was, but her Spirit was with the three of us, and she had things to say to her daughter, through me. I always felt that a medium would be able to see the Spirit of the person stood behind the client they are reading for, like a ghost. I could see her, but only in my minds eye. It was like recalling the images from a dream. I could feel a dull pain as an example of what her mother had felt in the accident, and the emotion her mother was feeling, like a watered down version of her experiences. After her mother made her goodbyes, I felt totally drained. I couldn't remember very much about what I had said during the communication. The words were not of me but though me, and most of the time I was too busy being stunned to listen to what I was saying, and the advice her mother was giving. People on the ship after that started coming to me for readings, it snow balled from there.

Different people at different times inspire me. Aspects of people, rather than the whole of them. The part of people that is their Best and which shows itself even in the most difficult situations. It's those people who can bring the best of themselves forward whenever they can. We often look to many of the figures such as Mother Theresa or Nelson Mandela, who seem to me to have gone through so much and held fast their whole life to a vision. But for me it's the person who is human but brings the best of themselves forward in a moment. Someone can be the most giving person from nine to five then fight the old lady for the seat on the bus. Being spiritual is in everything we do. People who try to do that inspire me and others to do the same.
When I was a child I often had the dream I could fly. I have always wanted to teach people to fly believing that it would bring about peace. If you can show people that anything is possible.
Now I really do think people can fly, with their minds, as anything is possible, what stops them is belief. All it would take is the absolute belief that they can, and the absence of the belief that they can't. The problem with the world is a spiritual one. We hear two voices in our minds, the fear voice (the ego) or the love voice (the higher self). I would like to prove that every thought we have creates our life and our world. That way I could teach one person to think differently, that person would teach one and before you know it everyone would change. We would only need around 20% of the population to change the way they think to make a dramatic difference to our world.
I don't think I was anyone of great importance in a past life, I'm hoping this will be my "celebrity" life time, or at least one of my last.
One day soon everyone will have the abilities I have. The vibration of the planet is changing. Every dimension vibrates at a frequency to make it solid to us. As our universe changes frequency we will have a stronger connection to the spirit world and maybe even other worlds. You can look around you now and see the change. Part of that change will mean; All people reconnecting with their psychic abilities, and many people also becoming mediums; Animals are not left out of this upgrade, and many will begin to recognize themselves as individuals (my Mums dog already knows itself in a mirror.) A few more natural disasters will unfortunately occur but will bring a deeper understanding of ourselves and our world.
Part of the beginnings of this change was brought about by the death of HRH Princess Diana. Since the war Britain had had a 'stiff upper lip' to emotion. Diana really was the Queen of Hearts, as the national outpouring of grief for her opened Britain's heart chakra. Many such major events all around the planet change the energy system of mankind. We have a spiritual evolution that is about to unfold in the whole of the world.
