Anthony Mikolojeski An Evening with Spirit The Asheville Medium
May 15 @ 7:00 pm
The Center

Anthony-Mikolojeski-1-v1.jpg

Our loved ones are very much a part of our daily lives!

Anthony Mikolojeski is a third-generation Polish-American psychic and natural-born medium. He first experienced his gifts of clairaudience, clairvoyance, clairsentience, and communication with the spirit world as a child of five years of age. Over the years, these spiritual experiences increased, which led him to realize he had a special mission in the world, which set him on his mediumship journey. As a psychic medium, he is very passionate about his work and he believes mediumship is the most fulfilling experience in his life. Being able to connect with loved ones in the spirit world not only provides the evidence of the afterlife, but also allows the love, closure, and healing to be given to his clients. A simultaneous healing occurs for the loved one in the spirit world and the client here in the physical. This healing allows us, as souls, to let go of the deep emotions that may be holding us back in life; thus allowing us to live more fully and joyfully and on our blueprint path. Anthony has studied with some of the world’s top mediums in the U.S. and U.K. His travels have led him to study at the prestigious Arthur Findlay College to further his advanced education in mediumship.

“My responsibility is to hold a positive space and always come from a place of love. I truly feel that I was given this beautiful gift from God to help people. This opportunity to give validating messages imparts the beautiful understanding that our souls do live on past the physical realm.”

​

Clairvoyance – the ability to see images/visions and people

Clairaudience – the ability to hear sounds and voices

Clairscentience – the ability to smell perfumes, foods, tobacco

Claircognizance – the internal feeling or clear knowing by Spirit

Clairempathy – clear emotion while tuning in the emotional experience of the person or place

Animal Communication – receiving messages from pets from the spirit world, as well as pets that are still living.
