“Local Psychic Connects with Pets”

by Leslie Olimon, Woodlands Online, 2013

THE WOODLANDS, Texas — When people hear the word psychic, they often picture a woman saturated in jewels looking through a crystal ball. This stereotype is not only false, it detracts from the actual definition of psychic. Essentially, psychic means “of or pertaining to the human soul” from the Greek word psychikos meaning “of the mind.” Looking at the etymology, it’s easy to see that the word applies to anything concerning the metaphysical or spiritual realm. Most psychics limit their abilities to serve only humans; however, Petrene Soames, England native and resident of The Woodlands, can communicate with animals as well.

The basis for psychic abilities is the extrasensory perception (ESP) phenomenon, or the ability to gain information with the mind rather than the five physical senses. This term is more popularly known as the sixth sense.

“I always knew things, and could see things, and my reality was very different from other people but very normal for me – so I suppose I did not really know I was different until I was around eight”, Soames said. “I started working with my abilities professionally in my twenties.”

As if her ability to communicate and heal animals wasn’t uncommon enough, Soames offers a rather unique approach to this practice. Since not all of her clients reside in The Woodlands, she gives the option of a phone consultation and merely asks for a picture of the pet in question.

“When I work with animals, I look at the photo of them ( if not in person ) and I tune into their unique vibration”, Soames said. “I connect with that, the same as with humans I may look at the past, where they came from [ and ] how they have been treated. I look at how they are now, this moment, beyond the moment the photo was taken. I feel their emotions, their mood, any joys as well as frustrations. I look for health problems, where they are, how long they have been going on [ and ] what needs to be done about them. I also will ask them what they would like their human family to know about them – what do they want to say – and then I listen. I generally send this info via e-mail or impart by telephone. People have found it often very helpful in understanding their pet’s health or any behavior issues… I also do this with pets and animals who have passed on, because just the same as with people, they do live on…”

An animal lover herself, Soames, at the time of this article, has taken in 17 animals ( 10 cats, four dogs, two horses, and one ferret ), 15 of which are rescue pets.

“Each animal has taught me something”, Soames said. “Sky Blue, my six year old paint gelding has taught me to face fear; my white Persian cat Chi, that perfect is not always clean, white, and fluffy… My first dog Max, that there is always room for even more love… It is amazing how much you can give out love and amazing how much you can receive… Most of all, animals are not animals at all, but something else entirely and we are all so very lucky to have them in our lives”.

Naturally, people will have their doubts. Some even scoff at the word “psychic”, thinking of the stereotypes perpetuated by Hollywood movies and TV shows.

“I hardly ever meet any skeptics, the people who seek me out are of course looking for help and are soon convinced”, Soames said. “I have been in the States about sixteen years and when I first arrived, the word “psychic” did not have much respect, a lot less than in Europe, but it has improved quite considerably. I think a lot of people feel like you just go around being psychic every moment of every day and that is not the case”.

In addition to the pet healing services she offers, workshops are also available to help people channel their minds and expand their knowledge. Soames has also written several books on life improvement and self-development.

“Solving Tomorrow’s Problems Today”

by Valerie Jones, Fate Magazine, US, 1997

For years, hypnotherapists have been helping people solve their problems by Regressing them into the Past. Now, a few therapists are trying something new – sending their patients into the future.

When Francis Reece wanted to prepare himself for a brighter future, he visited psychic Petrene Soames. Without needing to use hypnosis, Soames helped him travel through time, He saw his future unfold before his eyes and, as a result, left the session knowing how to follow his dreams.

Like Reece, people around the world are beginning to find hope and guidance through Progression Therapy, a healing technique that could revolutionize our understanding of time and space. For thousands of years, Shamans, Psychics, Mediums and Wise Women have used their abilities to peer into the past, present, and future. More recently, even mainstream Medical Professionals have used hypnosis to help people review childhood events, as well as experiences that appear to have occurred during past lifetimes. Progression Therapy, advocates say, is simply the next logical step in our search for understanding.

British-born Psychic Petrene Soames is one of a handful of people in the United States who uses Progression Therapy and she does so without using hypnosis. She has used the technique for six years. “It can take you into a future time in this life or into a future life,” she said, “both are limitless… I have taken people anywhere from a few days to far far into the future.” One of her subjects had an especially long look ahead while Soames was facilitating a progression on British television. “That person went several thousand years into the future. It was definitely this Earth, but things were much more in harmony than they are now,” she said.

Most of Soames’ clients don’t especially care what will happen on Earth thousands of years from now. They want to learn what will happen to them in the near future. Reece was one such client. At 38, the French native lives in Houston, where he is an Internet communications specialist. “I was skeptical at first,” he said. “I have a very logical mind and I was not completely sure about this.” He decided to try Progression Therapy after Soames gave him several very accurate Psychic Readings and he felt confident of her abilities. Reece said he wanted to see his future for himself rather that having it told to him by someone else . And with Soames’ help, that’s just what he did.

“It’s difficult for me to visualize things,” Reece said, “so what I saw was not clear, like a movie, but I was able to have a good image… It was like being in two places. I was here, but I was also there – really there… There is no doubt in my mind that it was happening.” Reece first saw himself doing a future Internet installation in Spain. “I was working for a company that was supervised from Asia,” he said. Later he saw himself back in the United States, in an attractive office, interacting with people from the Asian team. Reece also viewed his future home. “I just bought a house about seven months ago, but I didn’t see that house. The house I saw was much nicer than the one I have now,” he said.

Perhaps most important, Reece’s Progression instilled in him a new confidence and a sense that his life is headed in the right direction. He said he can now be more selective about the jobs he accepts, instead of “killing myself for little money, but getting nowhere.” In spite of his having slowed the pace since his Progression, Reece said he makes a good living and is happier and more relaxed now. “For me there is no doubt that what I saw is going to happen. I’m already headed in that direction,” he said.

Soames described her technique for Progressing clients into the future: Once they’re in a state of deep relaxation, she leads the person, by suggestion, to a stairway, a door or a corridor that acts as a portal for moving back and forth through time. “I always take people back in time before taking them forward. That way they can get an idea of what it’s all about,” Soames said. “I remove blocks from their childhood or past lives, allowing their higher selves to heal and clear the problem, so we aren’t stopped from going forward.”

After a person has passed through the doorway and into their future, Soames tells them to look down and describe their shoes and their clothing. She asks what they are feeling and asks if anyone else is with them. “Once we’ve established where we are, I tell them, ‘Let’s carry on and see what happens next…'”, she said. People often describe a day or part of a day. Sometimes they tap into future events in their job or a relationship. Gathering as many details as possible, Soames asks what the person did to arrive at the future they see. “If they’re happy with what they see happening, it’s wonderful. If not, they can decide what steps they’re going to take to avoid that thing,” said Soames, who is convinced that people direct their futures by the choices they make.

One of her clients, Dr. Thor Magneson, proved that point quite nicely. A professional fund raiser from Iceland, Magneson met with Soames for a Progression while she still lived in London. “He had a meeting to go to in three days in Barcelona. There were going to be a lot of rich, influential people there and he needed to know how it was going to go,” she said. According to Soames, Magneson was Progressed three days ahead and saw the room where the meeting would take place. The scene was very detailed, down to the wood grain on the conference room table and some French windows that would soon impress him. “His original intention was to focus on a certain person he thought was going to donate a lot of money. But because of what we did in the Progression, he focused on someone else. That worked out for the best and he phoned me afterward. He was absolutely ecstatic”, she said.

“Interview with a Psychic”

by Past Present and Future Magazine, US, 1996

How did you know you were Psychic?

I was always Psychic. My father was a Psychic. At age five I began having Past Life recalls. Fifteen years ago I was Regressed. I have since developed a way to travel backward or forward in time at will without using hypnosis, which I use with clients.

How are you able to do this?

I move to where I see what’s going on and ask what the scene is. If I see myself buying a million dollar house and having lots of articles published in the next three months, I can ask myself what I need to do to achieve this even more easily. I also ask if there is anything I need to overcome to get to this situation. I work slightly differently with clients. When they go forward in time, in each session they can choose to go forward to two times. They need to be really sure they are there, so I ask them to describe everything. It’s like being in a stop-frame movie. They see whatever is happening in their life at that time.

How accurate is this technique?

I’ve done many Progressions – six years, a few years, days ahead. People have returned and confirmed this. I took a man who is an International Fund Raiser ahead two days to an important meeting in Barcelona. After he got back, he described the people, the furniture, the room – everything was exactly as it had been in the Progression. Before that he believed the main person he needed to focus on in the meeting was the one whom he initially needed to deal with. He discovered that another person was actually the one to focus on.

Can you be very specific?

People see the relevant parts. They will say there is one particular part I want to see. I help them focus.

How do you see the future?

The universal shift of consciousness everyone is talking about is already taking place… As we move forward I see cars that drive themselves, labor saving devices, sound system computers, time and space travel becoming usual, psychic abilities coming a lot more into play. Time isn’t fixed. We’ll soon let that concept go. All the catastrophes will not be as bad as forecast. Some people will leave this planet and some will stay. I believe that people are basically good and perfect inside.

How would your views fit into a Christian perspective?

We don’t need anyone to threaten us or tell us what to do. People need to look further inside. One of the primary things I do is to help people heal. I heal the psyche and help people remember all the things they can do. It isn’t a matter of going forward, it’s a matter of coming back to the God knowledge that we had before we became humans. Each time we advance, we open up. The moment you say “I’ve got it!”, you’re probably wrong.

What about all the suffering today?

Of course a part of my emotional self will feel badly about tragedies in the news. On an awareness level, I believe a person plans out their entire life before they come. As a Psychic, I could actually sit down and figure out why they decided to have whatever happened occur. Humans are becoming gods. We are creators and we can create. That is why we are racing toward our own evolution. This is why we are remembering who we are and what we can do. We have forgotten who we are.

What about the Crystal Skull you recently described on your web site?

The skull was a harbinger. We are getting new creative energy. Creative matter is building up around the Earth. We can draw upon it to create, re-create, and repair what we already have. The tools are there, it’s just a matter of taking the time to tune into them.

“Woman Progressed into Future”

Front Page of Psychic News, UK, 1995

LONDON Psychic Petrene Soames Progressed a woman “hundreds of years into the future” during a three-hour program on cable TV last month. “She went into a time when the earth as we know it has ceased to be and where people live happy and peaceful, non-materialistic lives,” Petrene explained.

“The people seemed to be dressed in white and were governed by a group known as ‘The Teachers’. It sounded most idyllic and very spiritual. She was quite reluctant to come back to the here and now.”

During the Live TV program – broadcast between 9 p.m. and midnight – Petrene also Regressed a man into four past lives. Seated in an enclosed cubicle with hidden cameras present, the Psychic guided the man back into former lives in Russia, England and France.

Petrene does not use hypnosis in her work, but employs deep abdominal breathing, visualization and other general Regression techniques. “As a Psychic, I see all their chakras opening,” she explained. “If the person has any guides or spirit people around them, I sometimes pick up their presence as well. Often I see the person moving out of their physical body and standing by the top of their head as they are lying down. Then I know I am in communication with their higher self.”

Asked how she could be sure she was actually making contact with a person’s past life and not tuning in to the former life of a spirit guide or person close to them, Petrene was adamant chat such a situation was “very rare. In my experience, I have only come across maybe one case in 25”, she maintained. “Mostly when people are Regressed or Progressed they are quite sure afterwards that it was really themselves. Often, they have already had some recollection of that life. It is not generally a total surprise.”

The first subject Regressed remembered a past life as an 11-year-old boy in France in the 1930s, another as a newly-married man in the 17th century England and a dramatic episode which took place in an existence as an eight-year-old Russian boy. “He remembered hiding outside with his mother and father while people on horseback were raiding and looting the village”, she said. “He was very frightened.”

When the subject discussed his Regressions with Petrene afterwards, he admitted initially being “very skeptical” about it all. However, this turned to surprise when he began to remember details himself.

The young woman Petrene Progressed into the future also found herself “on another planet” in one incarnation. “It was a spiritual world but a solid planet which was mainly desert”, the Psychic explained. “Apparently there had been a lot of destruction and people were trying to build things up again.”

Psychic ability runs in Petrene’s family. She lives in Colliers Wood, SW London, where she heals, conducts Psychic Development Groups and gives Private Psychic Readings. She began using Regression techniques 12 years ago and seven years later started to Progress people forward in time. “I was lucky to have had very vivid past life memories myself when very young”, she disclosed. “It was very obvious to me then that there were many realities. Now, all kinds off down-to-earth people are interested in Regression and they are coming out with intriguing facts and figures relating to their own former lives.”

Petrene is convinced that free will exists and believes there are “alternative scenarios” for everyone. “As a Psychic, I can tell people what is going to happen”, she said. “If they go along with that, that’s all right. But if they want to, people can change the whole thing. Most certainly there is free will. We are all a lot more in control than we realize.”

Time, Petrene pointed out, is not necessarily a fixed thing and people can travel to and fro within it.
“This same expanded perception is encountered in Mediumship”, she explained. “You can tune in to all kinds of different wavelengths. It is really very, very simple. Just a matter of putting logic aside and letting go.”

“Step Back in Time”

by Richard Allen, South London Press, UK, 1993

You only live once, or so the saying goes… But can we be so sure? Mystics throughout the centuries have believed the human spirit does not die but returns to earth to live in many different bodies. This idea is shared by many Psychics and hypnotists who claim they have the power to take people back to their past lives.

Psychic Petrene Soames conducts both Regressions to past lives and Progression to future lives, but says she does not need to use hypnotism to achieve them. She claims her Psychic ability is able to penetrate the mental parts that hypnotists cannot reach…

When I underwent a Regression with Petrene at her home, I was told to breathe deeply and was guided into a deeply relaxed state, like that between waking and sleeping. Petrene told me to imagine myself on a stairway and taking four steps downwards. When I was on the fourth stair, she told me to look at my shoes and describe them. They were maroon oriental slippers complete with pointed curling toes!

Petrene then asked me to describe my surrounds and I saw a medieval town square bathed in bright sunlight. Through a further series of non-specific questions such as “what are you doing now?” and “what can you see?”, I found myself relating a day in the life of a Syrian baker in the 1760s – selling bread, buying a copper saucepan and sitting with my uncle. Petrene then took me back to the stair case and after descending four more steps into my psyche we repeated the process. This time I was a bored pen-pusher in a city firm in the 19th century, a kind of Bob Cratchett character. My final incarnation was as myself – as a child at my parents’ on a winter’s day. So where did these visions come from?…
