Ken Barkin

Psychic, Channel, Metaphysical Teacher, Feng Shui and Manifestation Consultant

My first memory of being a psychic is when I was eight years old and I walked into my youngest sister’s room in our house in Maryland. My grandfather was there and he was talking to me about what he wanted me to do for my grandmother. He wanted me to watch out for her. He also gave me instructions. I didn’t think much about it, until I noticed that he was a little translucent and I realized that he was being buried at that moment. He didn’t want to leave my youngest sister or me out of the process so he came to spend the time with us. I was scared once I connected that he was being buried while he was talking to me and I left the room. I went back and he wasn’t there.

Different events would happen in growing up where I saw or knew things. I realized that other people didn’t get that type of information. So, I learned to shut it off to make others feel more comfortable. I also realized that my parents would take me for professional help if they thought I was communicating with people that they weren’t aware of. My father has admitted that to me. He would have thought I was delusional. Now he is much more open to what I do.
When I was in college in Denver, a building manager ran my astrological chart. He said to me, “you must be really psychic.” He would ask me questions about different crimes and ask me to tell him what I saw or received. He told me that my information matched a lot of the top psychics in the country. I don’t really like doing that type of reading because of the empathic gifts that I have. I tend to feel what the victim went through or is going through. So, it makes it difficult for me to see the person doing the crime. That information does come through after I detach from the victim’s experience.

When I lived in LA, I was asked by a woman who was raising money for missing children what I picked up on the children. I started doing the readings of the children. It was hard to read the energies of the children who were brutalized. After a while, I told her that I needed to stop. She told me that I was accurate for the children whose stories she knew.

As for the empathic gifts, no one had ever explained to me what it was to be empathic. I just thought I was a bit of a hypochondriac. It took me years to realize that I only had the symptoms while I was with the person who had the symptoms. I studied with a man who told me that if I felt something, it was mine. I caught on that isn’t true. Someone who is empathic is picking up the feelings of others. It helps in medical intuitive work but you need to understand what is going on to utilize the gift. Once you can identify who is actually going through what you are feeling, it usually dissipates from the empathic person’s body. Empaths can make wonderful healers because they know exactly what is going on in the subjects body, since they feel it in their own body. The trick is to not get too wrapped up in the other persons feelings. Find the balance so that you can help the one who is experiencing the pain or illness through what they have created.

The group I work with now tends to only show me certain illnesses and pain. They show me where energy blocks are but they don’t give too much input in something that a person has asked for. They assume that if the person uses their energy to create it, that it isn’t an issue. We on this plane find it an issue. So, my group will help me understand why someone created whatever they are going through and what their lessons are in the experience.

Trying to shut to the gifts off doesn’t always work, there were times where information would just come through. I was taking my youngest sister house hunting, when she started medical school. We looked at this one place and I saw the spirits walking around the space. The space gave me an uneasy feeling. I just told my sister that she needed to prove to me that the area was safe for someone who would be keeping irregular hours. As we investigated the neighborhood, it just proved it wasn’t a good fit for her and we found a much more suitable place for her that met her funky space desire with my desire to feel that she would be safe.

In 1987, I moved to Los Angeles where I did the typical work of trying to get into show business. I did community theater, worked the day job and sang at night clubs for about 12 years.

In 1996 I studied Massage Therapy. While in the training, I would touch people and they would do their release work. I didn’t understand what was going on. I was just touching people and they would stand up and start screaming at me. The instructors would watch me to see what I was doing. They would shrug but didn’t tell me what was going on. So, I studied Polarity Therapy (a form of mind, body, spirit work) and was privileged to work with Gary Strauss who taught from a more shaman base and he taught his students how to process energy and take the client through their blocks. He encouraged us to get extra sensory information to help the clients. I was in a training session when I flashed on things I could do as a child. I decided that it was time to own those gifts and utilize them in my work. As I did sessions, I would hear messages about going to the person’s home or office to make changes in their space. This led me to study Feng Shui so I understood the basics of their energy grids. From there it took me back to my psychic roots to where I am now. I utilize all the different training in my sessions to work with clients and students. The work is about what clients and students need to help them in their lives.

Over my life, I have been led to move to different areas of the country. I was raised in Rockville, Maryland. I spent a year in Providence, RI. I then moved to Denver to study Speech Pathology and Audiology, I minored in music and psychology. I did my Masters degree in Public Relations/Media Law. I moved back to Maryland and stared another Master’s Degree in Audiology, which I didn’t finish. I spent 12 years in Los Angeles. Went back to Maryland for a few years. I then did some work in London for three weeks and asked for signs as to what was next. I was led to Phoenix, AZ for seven months. I discovered that I was being asked to move around to help people around the country and world. A friend from LA came and did something that she needed to do in Phoenix and I heard you can leave Phoenix now. So, I moved to Mercer Island, WA for six months and only got that I needed to read the land and see what man had done to that part of the country. After the six months, I heard buy a new car and put my furniture and belongings in storage. I went to Berkeley and dropped off my extra packing supplies to one sister for her move to Texas. Then I visited with friends in LA. Next I went to stay with a friend in Phoenix, sang at a friend’s wedding in Kingman and headed to North Carolina to help a sister with her new baby who was born much earlier than his due date. I spent a month helping my sister and her family with their needs. I then went to do some work in Nashville and went to visit my parents in Maryland.

In Maryland, I asked for a home base and set out parameters for what style of life I wanted. I heard be in Austin on September 3. I packed up the car and head to Austin. I was in Austin by September 2. I spent a few days in Austin and then heard go to San Antonio to help your sister unpack from her California move. While there, I then heard go to Houston. I called up a friend in Houston and stayed with her but once at her home, I heard get an apartment. So, I did and spent a year in Houston. I met some amazing people who helped me hone my gifts a bit and understand some of the energies I was working with. I started getting messages about moving to Austin. I was down to about $3,000 in my checking account and I said if you want me in Austin, I need the money for the move. I heard go to the mail box and there was a check, which covered the move and would take care of me for a few months in Austin. Once in Austin, I said where do you want me to live. I heard you will have a place by 1 PM today. I was signing the lease at 1 PM that day. During the move, I asked who wanted me to live in Austin and heard God, Raphael, Gabriel, Uriel, and Michael. I figured I would be well taken care of. In 2006, I said I was ready for the next level and I heard, get a house. The money showed up for the house and I have been working from my home since then.

The life of a psychic/channel is always exciting and interesting. We just need to be willing to take the leap of faith and see where we are needed and how we can best serve. I am fortunate to work with an amazing group, which includes God, many Angels, guides, councils of light beings, masters, spirits, Star Beings, and energies from various Dimensions. I just need to be open to the Divine teams who come in to assist me with each task. My life is always a wonderful adventure.
