Dylan Bell’s story starts in the heartland of Ohio, where the backdrop of his childhood was a quintessential Midwestern scene—a small town with a cornfield in the backyard. Growing up in a close-knit family of five, with his parents and two older brothers, Dylan’s life was deeply rooted in Christian values. His family attended church three times a week, instilling a strong sense of faith and community in him from a young age. This religious upbringing, however, also set the stage for significant challenges Dylan would face as he grew older and began to understand his true self.
“Coming out as gay in a conservative, religious environment was incredibly difficult,” Dylan mentions. “At 19, during my sophomore year of college, I decided to come out to my family and community. The response was devastating. I was told I was destined for Hell and was even forced to meet with the pastor of my church in an attempt to ‘correct’ my orientation. This experience was profoundly isolating, but it also marked the beginning of a journey toward self-acceptance and independence.” Moving away from his family’s expectations, Dylan started to forge his own path, one that would eventually lead him to discover his true calling.
Dylan’s journey into the world of mediumship and spiritual guidance began in earnest at the age of 22. After earning his certification in Reiki Level Two, he started to explore card readings. His Reiki teacher quickly noticed his unique abilities and suggested that Dylan might be a medium. Through several one-on-one sessions, his teacher helped him understand his gift thus allowing him to find how to understand how Spirit connected with him. It was during this time that Dylan began working closely with his main spirit guide, Opal, learning how to communicate with past loved ones and understand the messages they conveyed. This discovery was a turning point in Dylan’s life, leading him to fully embrace his abilities and start helping others.
In 2014, Dylan founded Opal’s Truth, a business dedicated to offering mediumship, energy (chakra-based), and tarot readings. “The name of the business honors my spirit guide, Opal, who played a crucial role in helping me harness my gifts. Over the past decade, Opal’s Truth has grown into a respected service, known for its compassionate and insightful readings.” Dylan’s work has been recognized in a Do317 article and has earned him the title of the number one psychic medium in Indianapolis on Yelp since 2019. Through Opal’s Truth, Dylan has connected thousands of individuals with their past loved ones, offering comfort, closure, and guidance.
Opal’s Truth primarily grows through word-of-mouth referrals. “Clients who have had transformative experiences with my readings share their stories with friends and family, leading to new inquiries and appointments.” Additionally, Dylan maintains a website that provides information about his services and allows people to book sessions. This combination of personal recommendations and online presence has helped Dylan build a solid client base and establish himself as a trusted figure in the spiritual community.
“Working as a psychic medium comes with its own set of challenges. One of the most demanding aspects of my job is interpreting the energy and messages from the spiritual realm and communicating them effectively to his clients. This process requires a great deal of sensitivity and skill. Additionally, being open about his gift has sometimes led to people viewing me more as a novelty than a person.” Some individuals seek his company only to receive free readings or to boast about having a psychic medium as a friend.
Moreover, the emotional weight of his work can be exhausting. “Conducting readings often involves encountering deep grief, which can leave me feeling drained and heavy.” To maintain his well-being, Dylan practices diligent self-care and ensures he takes time to rest and recharge.
Despite the challenges, Dylan finds immense reward in his work. “The most fulfilling aspect of my job is seeing the positive impact his readings have on my clients. Many people find peace, healing, and a sense of closure through their sessions.” Knowing that his work can change lives for the better gives Dylan a profound sense of purpose. He views his role as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds as a mission, a calling that brings meaning and fulfillment to his life.
In addition to mediumship, Dylan offers a range of other services through Opal’s Truth. Energy readings focus on an individual’s chakras, helping to identify areas of flow and imbalance. Through these readings, Dylan provides guidance on how clients can achieve better energy alignment through actions or meditation. Card readings, on the other hand, offer insights into a person’s current path, helping them validate their direction or consider potential adjustments.
Dylan also provides coaching sessions for psychic development and life coaching, supporting individuals who wish to explore their own intuitive abilities or need guidance in their personal lives. While he offers Reiki sessions, Dylan admits that Reiki is not his primary passion. Instead, he focuses on the aspects of his work that resonate most deeply with him and bring the greatest benefit to his clients.
“When it comes to skeptics, I maintain a calm and confident approach. I believe it is not my job to change anyone’s mind or convince them of the validity of my work. Instead, I focus on being the best psychic medium I can be, letting my work speak for itself.” This philosophy helps him stay grounded and true to his mission, regardless of others’ opinions.
Dylan Bell’s journey from a challenging upbringing in Ohio to becoming a respected psychic medium and founder of Opal’s Truth is a testament to his resilience, authenticity, and dedication to helping others. Through his work, Dylan has touched countless lives, offering comfort, guidance, and healing to those in need. As he continues to honor souls and harmonize lives, Dylan remains committed to his mission, finding profound purpose and fulfillment in his role as a bridge between the physical and spiritual worlds.
