Secrets Of The Sixth Sense

CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR future? Hoping to reconnect with a lost loved one? If you’re looking for answers in daily horoscopes or online quizzes, you’re almost certainly not going to find the specificity you want.

For centuries, people have turned to psychic advisors for insight, clarity, and comfort. Through visions, tarot card readings, or messages from the other side, a gifted psychic can offer guidance that feels both personal and otherworldly.

Chris is a third-generation Egyptian psychic and devout Christian, who combines her intuitive gifts with deep faith and prayer.

At The Psychic Gallery in Spring Lake Heights, Chris has been offering guidance for nearly three decades. She sees her work not as fortune-telling, but as helping people find direction, hope, and healing.

I recently sat down with Chris to discuss her story, her process, and her perspective on the role of the psychic in the modern world. From the moment I arrived at The Psychic Gallery, the room felt warm and inviting, with the faint scent of incense lingering in the air. It’s a calming space that reflects a grounded approach to faith and intuition. Our time together was the perfect mix of comforting and enlightening—and thankfully, didn’t reveal anything too scary.

When did you first realize you had psychic or intuitive abilities?

I was nine years old. I’m actually a third-generation psychic. My grandmother, my mother, and now even my three daughters all share these gifts. For me, it began with seeing visions and spirits. I’ve been doing this work for over 28 years now. Sometimes the visions are right on the spot. Other times, those visions don’t come true until a year or two later. But they always find their way into reality.

Is this something you were born with, or did it develop over time?

I was born with it.

Who or what influenced you to share your gift with others?

Honestly, no one really influenced me. I just enjoy helping and advising people.

Does your practice include tools like tarot, astrology, or crystals? Or do you work strictly through intuition?

I use a crystal ball, and I also do tea leaf readings. My most popular sessions are tarot card reading and full-life readings. I also do twin flame readings, which reveal things about love and marriage. They can be very in depth.

How do you prepare yourself mentally or spiritually before a session?

I light sage and incense to cleanse the room. Then I shuffle the cards at least seven times to pick up the person’s energy. I begin when I can feel the energy of that person.

Can you recall one of the most powerful or memorable readings you’ve done?

About 15 years ago, a woman came to me feeling doubtful and very down. I predicted that she was going to have twin boys. She told me that she had her tubes tied, so she didn’t believe me. Two years later, she came back to see me, along with her twin boys. She brought me flowers as a thank you for giving her hope.

Your gift must present you with some incredible surprises. Can you talk about something unexpected or surprising that came through during a session?

Recently, a spirit came through for a woman who was adopted. Her grandfather appeared and told her that her biological parents were still alive and that she would be able to reconnect with them. She had always been led to think they had passed away. He gave her the location to find them, and she did.

I also had a woman who was told that her husband was killed in the line of duty while he was serving in the Army. I told her that her husband was still alive. Of course, she didn’t believe me. But a few months later, she was notified that there had been a mistake. It turns out that the names of different soldiers had gotten mixed up and her husband was indeed still alive.

You probably encounter a fair degree of skepticism in your work, even from customers. How do you handle skeptics or those unsure about psychic readings?

Skeptics need to come to a reading with an open mind. If you’re not open, you never know what’s going to come through. More often than not, though, even those skeptics become believers by the time they leave.

What would you say is the most common reason that people seek your guidance?

Love and family. Most people want clarity about relationships. They’re looking for guidance on how or if to proceed with things.

Do you see your psychic gift as a blessing, a responsibility, or both? 

My gift is a blessing for sure.

How do you recharge or protect your own energy after guiding others?

I meditate. Sometimes for an hour. Sometimes for an hour and 32 minutes. Timing is everything!

Do you believe everyone has some psychic ability within them?

I do. Intuition is very real. Everyone has it to some degree, but some people are afraid of it or they simply choose not to use it.

A lot of people wonder about whether something we’ve seen could be interpreted as a sign from the universe. Do you believe that “ordinary” people receive these kinds of signs?

Absolutely. Pay attention to signs, and even numbers. 11:11 is one of the strongest.

How do those messages from the universe, or from the “other side,” usually come through for you personally?

Through vibrations. Loved ones speak through them, and vibrations are often stronger than words.

You’ve been practicing your gift in person for many years, but recent years have seen an advent of psychics on social media. Do you have an opinion on TikTok psychics?

Many TikTok psychics don’t have your best interests at heart. A lot of them are just in it for the money, and some even turn to witchcraft, which can be more negative than positive. It’s always best to meet with someone in person or over the phone and never go through with anything you’re not comfortable with.

What spiritual practices do you personally live by?

I believe in going to bed with a positive mind and positive thoughts, because the way you go to bed is the way you wake up in the morning. I cleanse my own energy with prayer and

meditation. It’s important to clear negativity.

What role do you believe psychics play in people’s lives today?

We provide guidance and support. It’s not about fear. It’s about helping people move in the right direction and away from negativity.

If you could give one piece of advice to someone curious but hesitant about a psychic reading, what would it be?

Don’t be afraid. We are here for guidance and to offer support for things that may be weighing heavily on your mind.
