Product Description
Margaretta and Catherine Fox?s successful communication with a spirit entity in 1848 sparked a new understanding of the spirit world in the United States. This new movement is called Modern Spiritualism. Based on Spiritualism?s rich tradition, Elizabeth Owens demonstrates how one can develop natural clairvoyant skills in order to hear the “wisdom of the spirits.”
Emphasizing patience and practice, the author insists that clairvoyance is possible for everyone. She explains many forms of clairvoyance (psychometry, clairsentience, clairaudience, and so on), and offers examples based on her own experiences and those of six other Spiritualist mediums. Exercises in meditation, memory development, visualization, and symbol interpretation progressively help readers enhance and cultivate their own innate gift of the “sixth sense.”

“Clairvoyance is the ability to `see’ things using psychic perception rather than your physical sense. Clairvoyant images may be experienced as scenes, symbols, words, numbers, colors, or even spirits. This positive and encouraging guidebook shows that with patience and practice, clairvoyance is possible for everyone.” – From the back cover
Elizabeth Owens, a certified medium and Spiritualist minister, has written an engaging and informative guidebook for those wanting to develop psychic ability. Specifically, Spiritualism & Clairvoyance for Beginners is an accessible practicum for “seeing” with the Third Eye and decoding the images and symbols that arise. In addition, Owens also teaches that intuitive information can be received through “clear hearing” (clairaudience), “clear smelling” (clairgustance), and “clear sensing” (clairsentience).
Filled with fascinating historical and personal anecdotes about spirit contact, Spiritualism & Clairvoyance for Beginners provides progressive learning exercises on meditation, memory development, visualization, psychometry and symbol interpretation. Nineteen different exercises designed to increase psychic awareness are included in this book, as is seven workbook pages for recording your experiences and insights.
While the author is a Spiritualist and some of the information in the book addresses interacting with departed spirits, Spiritualism & Clairvoyance for Beginners can be used by anyone wanting to learn how to “see” and decode intuitive information. Whether this is done with the help of departed spirits is optional, especially if you’re not open to that sort of thing. But if you’re fascinated by mediums (those who are in contact with the dead), you’ll be especially pleased at the information and insight offered by Elizabeth Owens.
When I began reading this book, I wasn’t expecting much-especially since many “beginner” books are quite shallow and unhelpful. However, I was delighted and surprised at the great foundation the author provided, especially with the nineteen exercises. How I wish *I* had this book when I first started my journey with psychic ability! While some of us had to “fly solo” when learning particular psychic skills-trial and error, angst and disappointment often constant companions in the early stages-Spiritualism & Clairvoyance for Beginners is a wise companion, providing an excellent map for beginning your journey into psychic development.
Here is a nice little book filled with validation of experiences and lessons on how to improve your clairvoyant talents.
Elizabeth Owens is a practicing spiritualist at the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp in Florida. She teaches spiritual development there as well as having several books on the subject.
This book provides an overview of the clairvoyant talent, that is, as the author puts it “a natural talent.” She goes further to explain “clairvoyance is a French word meaning clear seeing. It is the art of seeing spirit entities, which may or may not be visible through the eyes of others.”
She expands on this concept well in her book. She gives us some wonderful background and history about the Spiritualism and Clairvoyance experience, where it started and especially about her own camp in Florida.
She gives some good examples of the talent, and introduces some members of her group who also contribute their personal experiences and talents to the content of the book.
I liked the flow: simple and easy. It is not intended to be an advanced teaching tool, but a gentle introduction to the concept and basic practices.
Ms. Owens includes some of her techniques for advancing and improving your own natural clairvoyant talent. There are chapters on Meditation and Interpretation. There is a chapter on symbolism and using it to enhance the reading experience and improving connections with the spirit and the client. There is also a discussion on other forms of clairvoyance, such as “X-ray Clairvoyance” and “Medical Clairvoyance” and more.
The author provides some exercises in the book for you to work with. These focus on meditation practices, enhancing your abilities to observe and retain the observations, personal interpretation of various symbols, and other techniques to enhance your own talents. These exercises are well thought through, are short so you can concentrate on one step at a time, and can be worked into your own schedule. There is room on the pages for you to record your thoughts and experiences.
She also brings in the experiences of the members of her group, giving you some validation of experience in the variations that can exist in the talent of different readers.
There is a workbook section near the end of the book, for you to write down personal development, notations and experiences. There is also a resources section, listing not only contacts and websites for her own Spiritualist Camp, but also other well known Spiritualist centers.
This book is not really path specific, though the author and many of the members are of the Spiritualist path. But the benefit here is that anyone of any spiritual path can pick this book up and read it and not feel intimidated or pushed in any one direction.
If you are unfamiliar with clairvoyance, if you have experienced this talent yourself and don’t know where to begin, or if you think you have this talent and want to start expanding it, this is a nice book to start with. boudica
I really enjoyed the easy to follow instructions for developing my clairvoyance. I had no idea it would be so easy and that it was a natural ability. I really liked the workbook format, too. The information about Spiritualism was also very interesting and helped me to understand why this ability was developed widely by people. I had no idea what I had been seeing in my meditations was clairvoyance. Wow!
