Mediumship With Tyler Henry – Book Review
Tyler is a young and talented medium, only 21, raised in Hanford, CA, and now finding himself Hollywood’s go-to celebrity medium in LA.
His accuracy with mediumship readings and his ability to make sense of how energy is received from those who have passed on are masterful.
For anyone wanting to learn how to connect with loved ones or simply to understand more about the phenomenon of mediumship, this book is a must-read.
Strangely (or not), I know Hanford. I spent a few years in Lemoore, CA, only 12 miles away, and used to visit downtown Hanford, which he mentions in the book, for postnatal yoga classes.
What the Book Covers
As you might expect, Tyler recounts his life story to date for context. At such a young age, he has already had a close brush with death.
Like some mediums (myself included), his gift really began to develop after losing a much-loved family member.
He also shares his journey of coming out as a medium and his eventual move to Hollywood.
A Deeper Look: “Signs from the Soul”
I particularly enjoyed the Signs from the Soul chapter, where Tyler explores the “whys and wherefores” of spirit communication, along with the life lessons he’s drawn from his experiences.
Tyler writes extremely well and demonstrates a high level of spiritual insight. One passage that stood out to me comes from Chapter 5, The Bigger Picture:
Our egos are our beliefs about ourselves. It’s an identity of our own creation and conditioning that doesn’t reflect who we truly are as souls. Yet, as human beings, our egos are developed from infancy and maintained throughout our lives. We think of our talents, abilities, and personalities as who we are, but these are all capabilities we have, not the defining features of our soul-selves.
When most people think of having a “big ego”, they usually mean someone who is cocky, self-absorbed, or narcissistic. These definitions represent only a small sliver of how the ego influences the human experience. We are all running around with some mix of both positive and negative self-esteem, and the amount of each usually depends on our ever-changing circumstances. Between and among the two, the ego is found.
Reflections on Soul and Identity
To expand on this, I often share a quote from Edgar Cayce—one of the great Akashic Records readers of our time—with my clients:
“You have inherited the most from yourself! The family is only a river through which Soul flows.”
Both Tyler’s words and Cayce’s perspective offer a powerful reminder of the eternal nature of the soul.
Whether we are discovering ourselves through the patterns of ego in this lifetime, or rediscovering our deeper nature by reconnecting with the soul, there is an unchanging essence that runs beneath it all.
Final Thoughts
If you’re looking for a fresh and modern take on mediumship, Tyler Henry is definitely worth exploring – he also has a Netflix show if you’d like to see his work in action.
