The Dr. Pat Show: Talk Radio to Thrive By!: James Van Praagh - Medium, Teacher & Author with his most recent book: Growing Up in Heaven

James Van Praagh is a "survival evidence medium," meaning that he is able to bridge the gap between two planes of existence, that of the living and that of the dead, by providing evidential proof of life after death via detailed messages. His very natural, easy-going style would lead you to believe that Van Praagh is chatting with a friend on the telephone, not communicating messages from the grave. "I'm clairsentient," he explains, "which simply means clear feeling. I feel the emotions and personalities of the deceased. I am also clairvoyant," he adds, meaning that many times he will actually see the spirit as a solid form and will describe their physical traits.
