As a young boy, Quassan Castro, started receiving messages for the people around him. His visions first came to him in dreams and he didn’t quite understand the depth of the messages. Not sure how people would respond he kept the messages to himself. Even more interesting, he didn’t want to invade in others personal spaces by offering them a message without asking.
However, he couldn’t stay still for long, the rebirth of his spiritual awareness that he’d repressed in childhood had begun to manifest itself with rigor while in his early 20’s.
"As I got older, I became more aware that there was something deeper operating. My intuition had awakened," said Quassan.
He’s often compared to famed psychics Sylvia Browne and Allison Dubois depicted in the hit TV series "Medium". Quassan says that he’s not trying to challenge people’s beliefs about psychics, he simply wants to let his abilities speak for themselves.
Quassan is a clairvoyant, a clairaudient, a psychic medium and a motivational spiritual teacher. One of those people who didn’t believe in psychics was Nick Loizides. During his first conversation with Quassan, who had never met him, Nick received life altering confirmations that would forever change the way he perceives himself.
Nick has been in the music business since 1993, as a music producer and A&R representative. He believes that he has seen and experienced many things in the past 15 years but he says that speaking to Quassan was an eye opening experience. Growing up in New Jersey, in a strict Greek Orthodox home, Nick was not exposed to psychics and was very apprehensive.
“There are some people who are not ready to hear from the other side and they are very cynical. I respect those who have the ability to use the stars and cards. I don’t need anything. All I need is someone who is open to be helped,” said Quassan.
At 15 years old, Nick was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. As he got older, he began seeing an herbalist, who is a person who grows, collects, or deals in medicinal herbs, while trying to find an alternative way to deal with his illness. Nick said, "I still go to a regular physician but I realized that I wasn’t taking care of my life. I needed to cleanse my system."
One day while talking to his herbalist he started to tell Nick about his experience with Quassan. The herbalist told Nick that he’d be able to obtain clarity about his career and health if he opened himself up to speaking to Quassan.
Nick said, "I was apprehensive but because my friend told me about it, I thought that I should try it."
That evening the herbalist called Quassan and told him about Nick’s desire to speak with him. When Nick finally took the phone, he explained that he didn’t want to hear about anyone dying. He said Quassan assured him that wasn’t what readings were about.
Quassan began immediately by asking Nick if he had trouble sleeping. He explained to Nick that he had a son that he had lost to a miscarrage and he was with him all the time. Nick said that he became very emotional because the loss of his son was very hard on him and he did have trouble sleeping.
Being a music producer is very frustrating at times when trying to create music beats for artists. Nick said he had become very despondent over the way his life was going and he would go to his grandmother’s grave and ask her if she was disappointed with him.
Nick said that he became extremely emotional when Quassan told him that his grandmother was with him.
“Q told me that my grandmother was with me at that moment. He said her name and told me that she communicated that she wasn’t disappointed. No one knew that every time I visited her grave I would ask that question. I couldn’t believe he knew her name. When I told my mother about it, she just cried.”
Quassan also told Nick about his best friend’s father, Ronnie, who died of a massive heart attack.
Nick said, “Ronnie was the best thing that ever happened to me when I was a kid. His house was the first house that I could visit under the strict rules that my parents had. One day I went to visit and Ronnie told me that I was losing weight and I didn’t look good. I went home and told my mother and we went to the hospital and I found out that I had diabetes. In way he saved my life in many ways.”
Spiritual giftedness comes naturally to Quassan. Nick added that he was comfortable and has introduced Quassan to many people, including the rapper Rakim and DJ Kid Capri, who both have been well known in the music industry for years.
Nick agreed with Quassan when he said that there’s a lot of misconception about having an ability “see” things that other people can’t. Moreover, they both agree that everyone has the ability to tap into their own intuitiveness if they want to.
Quassan said, “There are people who know that there is going to be a telephone call or have dreams that are familiar days later. Every ability has the option of being fined tuned as with any gift, including those like playing an instrument, singing or painting.”
“Once you experience it. It’s a life changing experience. When I refer him to other people I tell them that they need the "Q Experience". It was life changing for me. I became very focused and wanted to learn more about the world and myself. Every one should have the ‘Q Experience’,” said Nick.
Quassan has read for people from every imaginable background, every age group and socio-economic status, from ages 18 to 91. Most recently, he was invited to Essence magazine for a meet and greet with the staff. He has worked with clients to relieve physical pain, grief and mental blockages. He also helps clients connect with their loved ones on the other side and can assist seekers in examining their past lives.
Quassan is currently working on many projects including writing a memoir entitled, “Dancing with the Spirit: 40 Days of Meditation and Enlightenment”. He is still looking for a publisher and has hopes that he will find one soon. He also has a popular blog at quassan.blogspot.com or he may be reached by phone at 973.748.7014.
