"The Art of Spirit Communication"

Speaking with the Dead: description of services for programs small or large

There are two ways to contact the dead in my 49 years of experience speaking with them. Either the old way by asking for their name and title to you so I can travel to where they are in the universe or by them pushing through my consciousness, generally because they are already present. The first method is the the ancient method passed down to me and is used in more old-school mediumship. The latter is also ancient but sadly has been made into a dramatic event in the public mind no thanks to television's need for dramatics. However, the latter method is generally in cases where the soul coming through me is in dire need to tell the client something. Receiving evidence or direct information that only the deceased and the living would know is crucial to ensure the right spirits are connected and I take this very seriously. Space is blessed prior to program and all measures are taken to ensure the best results possible. Special attention is made to the sacredness and sanctity of contacting the deceased. Please note this is not a seance and does not include darkness, holding hands, chanting, bell or other traditional seance tools or ritual although I was trained in this way in my youth. Instead, my mediumship skills are presented in a light, positive, loving format distinctly unique to my training and my family's ancient spiritual traditions that will provide you or your group with a happy, fulfilling and positive spiritual experience in a lighter setting. The old way can be offered by request (traditional seance) and is still a very loving experience of course. However, movies have made the seance into something to be feared, so please only request this if you wish to have a loving experience, without fear or the need to be 'entertained'. 

I do travel. There may be additional fees if far from Galena, IL

I take my work seriously, not for sensationalism or commercialism. Contacting the dead is a sacred event.

I will not book 'shows' where people buy tickets and only a few get readings in front of spectators. This is exploitation of the Dead, the sacredness of the art of mediumship and makes the sacred into an 'entertainment'. I will only do events in which all present will have a reading. No spectators.

4 person limit per hour. Please contract me directly by text at 630 945 2911 or email me at: 

christophermcbrien@yahoo.com

Remember, not all spirits will show up just because you want them to. They do what they wish. That said, I do have an amazing track record for reaching them. The deceased do tend to gather around me well before their chance to speak to their loved ones, especially if they have something to say or the living sincerely wish to reach out to them.  I move the program along to meet the needs and requests of both the living and deceased in a timely manner to cover as many

Chris has been performing exorcisms, home blessings and cleansings, and combinations of the two, since 1996. Using multiple spiritual disciplines including, Pictish Shamanism and Mysticism from his family background (lifelong since 10 years of age), Sufism (9 years training) and Traditional Witchcraft (7 years training), Chris uses his 36 years experience and multi-faceted training to bless, cleanse or bless and cleanse your home in a manner that aligns as closely as possible with your own personal spiritual beliefs. 

"I was trained to do exorcisms as a Sufi. I am still in that Order. I will combine what is needed while making an effort to incorporate your own belief system into a House Blessing/Cleansing. For exorcisms I must simply do what is needed to exorcise an entity from a person, place or both. I will ask qualifying questions of the client. I will direct clients to other services if I feel they are in need of alternatives to my services. For exorcisms I will bless all who live there and have them stay on premises until I am done to make sure those involved are free from possession as well as making them a witness to the process to make them stronger in the experience using the power of love over evil. It's vitally important in this process to strip away the mystery of evil to take away evil's main diet, fear. Exorcisms may last only a few hours to days. I do have a sliding scale for services as my calling to do what I do is not about money, but about being of service to those in need. 

Exorcisms, Home Cleansings and Blessings: $500 (suggested, sliding scale available) plus mileage

Energy work is usually requested to send energy with a various charge to help bring about a specific end result. Chris has been working with this art since he was 10 years old learning how to meditate in his grandparents back yard. His amazing gift of mediumship, vast experience in his family's shamanic tradition, training from teachers including his 9 years with a Sufi master specializing in this art uniquely qualify Chris. His clients and those working with him will palpably feel the energy he raises, and those receiving always report positive results! He is adept at the use of ancient names and sounds to achieve the best results. His ability to astral travel as well as his near death experience both help him be especially effective. 

Besides the use of drumming and chanting, Chris also utilizes a rare form of energy raising through the art of Dhikr (Sufism)

Energy Work Session: $400

Workshops are available:

Meditation Class (Weekly Saturday 10am)

 Each Meditation Class session will incorporate elements of Chris McBrien's Shamanic (30 years) and Sufi (9 years) meditation training incorporating relaxation & visualization technique, release and awareness techniques, dhikr/chanting of holy names for inner and outer awareness and a weekly spiritual lesson! The methods taught go right to the heart of helping activate the seeker in moving towards their purpose by cultivating self reflection. Great for the beginner and meditation veteran alike! Every Saturday morning 11am - 12pm! Limited seating! Located upstairs in Chris' historic Victorian Parlors in the Turkish Meditation Room at 303 1/2 South Main St. in beautiful historic downtown Galena! A great start to your day! Only $25 per session! Donations of greater welcome.

Day Shamanic Intensive:

Spend a whole day with a shaman! Chris's family brought a unique form of shamanism, documented in a family book that is on both the state and national historic register, from Northern Ireland's remote Antrim coast to America in 1809. They have diligently kept it alive and Chris is the head of this rare and legendary family tradition of the "Picts". This program has been performed from his home all the way to Germany on DOD bases and back to the famous Circle Sanctuary in Barneveld, Wisconsin by special invite of Selena Fox, the most famous witch of her generation. From his unique meditation technique to lessons on grounding, energy raising, directing, perception of inner and outer states, astral travel to basic communication with spirits and charging stones and sacred spaces, this program is one of the rarest and most unique experiences you will have in the art of shamanism.

Shamanism Group Intensive: $1000 (up to 10 ppl)
