Quotes from Tyler Henry

I hope to kind of revolutionize and kind of rewrite a lot of what people think of when they think of mediums.

I never want to scare anyone.

I would say that my ability doesn't' have an off switch but instead is more of a volume dial. When going about everyday life I try and switch that noise to becoming background noise, but have taught myself when to turn the volume up, such as in readings.

In a reading, I might hear a voice, see an image or even get a physical sensation that corresponds with how someone passed.

When I'm not doing readings, I just spend a lot of time alone and try to meditate. Going for walks in nature is also really good for me. It's a way to center myself without having people around, because my ability is less of an on-off switch. It's more like a radio volume dial, so I always have background music in my head.

For me, it's really important when I go into a reading to not have any bias and so that's a big reason why I never know who I'm meeting or where I'm going.

I grew up in a very small conservative town and as a result there were a lot of people who didn't like what I did. So I would say for anyone who is dealing with bullying, regardless if it's not to do with being a medium, I know what it's like to be alienated and feel different.

My closest friends do come to me all the time about their personal life for advice but we have healthy boundaries!

I always encourage people to go to a doctor, a doctor knows best in most cases.

Making chocolate with RuPaul, it doesn't get much better than that honestly. That's the dream; that's what everyone aspires to do.

I don't claim to have all the answers about how the afterlife works.

It's really surreal watching myself on television because I pick up on all my mannerisms. You really get to see yourself in a completely different light when you actually watch yourself.

My goal with any reading is always to give the client what they are meant to hear.

I'm too much of a hippy for the east coast.

I usually go straight for coffee when I wake up. I start my day with a half hour meditation... but only after a cup of coffee. Caffeination with meditation might sound funny, but it's how I don't fall back asleep in the morning!

A lot of the people that I read have never had a medium experience before - it's comforting.

In a reading, I communicate what I see, what I hear and what I feel. It's as simple as that.

I feel like I always touch my hair all the time so I'm always correcting it.

I can work with skeptics - cynics are a little bit harder because they already have their mind made up. There's nothing that I'm going to say that's going to change that.

Being a medium, a lot of religious people are like, 'ok. that's talking to the dead.' The bible talks about it in a very different context so I think there's more stigma to being a medium.

I had people having prayer circles for me at the age of 10.

I believe if someone is authentic, they shouldn't have to advertise. If you can really talk to the dead, people are going to hear about it.

I do feel like it's my responsibility to deliver information in a way that's going to be sensitive to my client's feelings, but I'm not so much responsible for what I see.

Dreams, I would say, are probably the most prevalent way a loved one will try to deliver a message.
