Positive Personality – Margaret Brazil
|Interviewed by Patrick Bridgeman
Margaret Brazil had her first psychic experience, “seeing a room full of spirits” late in life. Now 62 years old, spirits utilise her in every way to convince the people who come from all over the world to see her that they are present, and that they are very real.
The best readings are usually to those who are sceptical. The spirits go all out to prove their existence – to show off! There will be fireworks! It’s good to be sceptical, not to be gullible. Plenty have come through my door sceptical, but nobody has ever left unconvinced. Nobody can explain or contradict the evidence that’s given through me in a private reading.
I had my first psychic experience over 20 years ago. I am clairvoyant, clairaudient and clairsentient. I’m a “medium” in the real sense of the word in that I act as a go-between for clear and lengthy two-way conversations between the person and the spirit or spirits.
There is no secret. None of us are Chosen or are Special. Some of us just develop this gift, maybe through pain or heartache, while others might live their lives busy with other things and untouched by quiet thought or meditation.
At the beginning, I was more amazed than the people who came to me by what was coming from my mouth. I wasn’t sitting down trying to “home in”. In fact, I had to teach the spirits manners after a while. It’s like having children in the house and needing to teach them their place. I had to learn to control them. They can’t just butt in, all of the time, into my life. I have to live normally too. Although, if there is something extreme, they will try to get word to the family by appearing and speaking regardless.
One night I was sitting alone at home when I saw a movement beside me. On the white wall opposite me, an oval frame “appeared” and in it a picture of my father – who died in 1969. As true as God. As though I was watching a short film, I could see him walking from the bus stop on the Quays, down O’Connell Street, wearing his hat and coat and with a newspaper folded under his arm. I watched this for a good five minutes. At least. I kept looking away, looking back. I wasn’t seeing things. Now, if someone has an explanation for that, I’d love to hear it. Because I don’t.
I’ve a private phone number and I don’t tend to give it out. But two decades ago, it started ringing a lot. Every day. People looking for readings. I’ve never asked anyone how they heard of me. Over time, I came to trust that they were meant to find me. That I can do something for them. That I was meant to see these people who found me. That I must have something to give them. There are no coincidences.
I’m inclined to see each person only the once, unless they really want to come back again. I wish for them to be at peace, to find comfort and then to live their lives, not to become caught up in the dead.
Also, I’m not a fortune teller. People shouldn’t come to me if they’re looking for that. Nor am I a healer. I can’t even look after myself most of the time. Rather I’m a channel through which people who have passed on can communicate with and heal their loved ones. I can’t heal anybody, but I can facilitate wonderful healing that comes from this higher level.
Whatever God it is you believe in, He does not keep secrets from people who take the time to talk to Him.
Spirits are always just a thought away.
At the end of our interview, as I was about to say goodbye, Margaret asked me, “Who is the other Patrick?” My Granda Paddy popped into my head and she went on to provided me with evidence that it was him who was communicating with me through her. He told me that he was very proud of me because I was doing something that I loved, and that, while he didn’t want to take credit for where I now was, he’d always been there beside me, giving me guidance and looking after me. Thanks Paddy!

Hi Margaret, my sister gave me your book to read last year, I couldnt put it down. I lost my son just over 2 years ago and the comfort I got from reading your book and knowing that you can see people as they were in life is wonderful. I have heard psychics and mediums describe those that are passed over as lights and energies. But I dont want to think of my son as these things, but as he was and knowing that you see our loved ones as they were is heart lifting. Thank you for what you do and for the comfort and peace you bring to peoples lives.

I just read your book “When Spirits Hold my Hand”, I just loved it so much at times it brought me to tears. The work you do is wonderful. I would give anything to get absent healing from you I have suffered from a very bad back over the last 25 years and other ailments.

Hi Margret just read your book, it is a pity I did not come across your book before now,
you gave me great comfort. I love to have a reading with so, so much has happened I
need to know. Can I meet you sometime.
Hi Margaret,
I have recently read your book. I would like to tell you how much it moved me, I have told all my friends about it and we are passing it around for all to read. I would like very much to have some absent healing from you if possible. I suffer from asthma and high blood pressure which is under control with medication. I have suffered recently with leg pain, I have also had a fall but the pain is in the other leg. I had torn ligiments from the fall and my knee and ankle have never been the same since. I would appreciate if you could send me some absent healing. If you ever visit Cork I would be grateful for a reading also.
Regards
Michelle

Hi Margaret, You helped me get through a very difficult time about 15 years ago and I have never forgotten you. You allowed me to be in contact with my much loved father and both of you helped me to understand and deal with my situation. You used to run wonderful meditation sessions near Tallaght which were the highlight of my week at that time. Everything worked out for the best and what I learned from you has stood to me well ever since.
I bought your book in the Airport last year and I really enjoyed it. Hope you are well and happy. God Bless. Jane
I am presently reading this amazing book.
I would love to get a reading with Margaret for my cousin.

Could we please meet you for a reading? It would do her so much good ! We can come from Belgium no problem (if you still live in Ireland). Thank you so much !
God bless you
