Rebecca Rosen doesn’t exactly “see” dead people, which is probably a good thing, because if she did she’d probably never make a public appearance for fear of being mobbed by all the DLO’s, i.e., Departed Loved Ones, clamoring for her attention.
Instead the spirits of the dead speak to her across the ether in a language of signs and symbols that she can interpret, but can often be understood only by the person for whom the message is meant, the still living loved one, Rebecca’s client.
MU caught up with Rosen on the last stop of the promotion tour for her new book “Spirited: Connect with the Guides Around You,” which is part memoir, but mostly it’s a how-to on tuning into the spirit messengers without a psychic middleman. Why is she giving away trade secrets? Rosen says her psychic ability was a gift she never expected to receive. She is convinced that it is an talent we all share, but like singing or ice skating or calculus, some of us are far more skilled at it than others.Rosen falls into the highly skilled category, although where the skill comes from she can’t say. She was raised in a conservative Jewish family, and had no spiritual connections until she left home for college. When she was a sophomore, the life she lived growing up began to crumble–her mother and father divorced, her father attempted suicide. Rebecca became deeply depressed, and she began nightly sleep walking trips to the kitchen where she ate everything she could get her hands on.
It was difficult for Rebeca to tell her parents, who had enough problems of their own, but there was one relative, Rebecca’s grandmother, who arrived on the scene to lend her support. The only thing that was odd about that was that her grandmother had committed suicide when Rebecca was 11.
At first, Rebecca didn’t know what to make of the messages that seemed to be coming through her pen but not from inside her mind, while she bared her soul to her journal. Eventually, she came to understand that it was her grandmother who was guiding her hand, explaining that she didn’t want Rebecca to go down the same dark road that had led to her suicide and was now taking her father in the same dangerous direction.
Rebecca’s grandmother continued to “speak” to her for two years. She even provided her with clues to identify her soul mate when she met him by giving her the names Ryan and Rose and a birth date, 9-24. When Rebecca paid an unexpected trip home one summer, her mother set her up on a date. It turned out her date’s name was Brian Rosen, and his birthday was on September 24.
Seven months later they were married, and instead of starting a career in marketing, her new husband encouraged her to develop her psychic talents, and she began giving readings in a coffee shop in Deerborn, Michigan. She did good. Today those seeking a reading from Rosen must wait three years for an appointment. Unless you were fortunate to attend one of her book tour appearances, that is.
When Rosen took the floor that evening at the bookstore, she said that she hoped we weren’t expecting the usual books signing. She explained that the only way to convince people it was possible to speak to the departed was through experience. “The work speaks for itself,” Rosen told the audience, “And it’s the medium’s job to provide enough evidence or validation to convince you that we’re really speaking to spirits.”The readings she gave of members of the audience were both riveting and moving, as the spirits seemed to elbow each other out of the way to get their messages across. At one point I thought I caught a “sign” that might be meant for me, but I was too timid to respond before the spirit of someone else’s DLO caught Rosen’s attention.
