If you’ve ever wondered what happens after death, Emily Dexter might have the answer.
The self-proclaimed psychic, 31, says she regularly speaks with the deceased, who have supposedly explained where people’s spirits go when they die.
“When we pass, we go to what I lovingly call a spiritual spa day,” Dexter, from Lake Tahoe, California, told Southwest News Service.
“So, we hang out with our dead loved ones for a week or two then head there, where we basically cope with and heal from all the difficulties we had while we were human.”
That period, she continued, can last anywhere from a week, a year or five, depending on “the person and their path.”
“Afterwards, we continue on our path — which usually includes popping back in to check on loved ones or guiding them when they pass, or moving on to our next life, or rejoining our higher self,” she added.
Dexter realized she was psychic when she was just a child and claims she would converse with the dead while playing in the forest and could see dead relatives in her house.
“I have been able to do this from the moment I can remember,” she said. “I thought everyone could see their past relatives standing in the room with them — I thought it was normal.”
It wasn’t until she was 8 years old that she realized her abilities might be different than her peers.
“I told my mom about all those weird things that had happened to me, and I would remember knowing that my mum didn’t know what these things are,” she explained.
Growing up, she “suppressed” her psychic capabilities because she “didn’t know how to talk about” what she saw.
“I was at the stage where I wanted to fit in but seeing dead people doesn’t really help you fit in,” she said.
But ever since she embraced her psychic traits in her 20s, it has become “integrated into my daily life.”
“Passed loved ones aren’t usually great with boundaries — they will want to give someone a message,” she explained.
Spirits, she noted, are “guides” for the living, who she likes to think of as “friends” who can “help you out.”
“You don’t necessarily see them, but you can hear them or just feel them with you,” she said.
“They are your team of helpers that work to help your life go the way you would like it to go and achieve the things you want to achieve.”
