Psychic Development Books or Training

[Alex Wu]

Is there a good psychic development book for beginners, or some kind of in-person training program to get a beginner going on his feet? I am really interested in learning to tap into my own spirit guides/higher self and those of others.

Hi Alex,

The first book I read when I started psychic development was 'Psychic Development for Beginners' by William Hewitt. It's a good book for absolute beginners.

And thanks Angela for the mention - I also have a course that's starting in December, where I teach you (or rather, channel lessons and homework from your spirit guides, for you) one-on-one for six weeks. It is really good fun and the students have really enjoyed the first one which is finishing up soon.

As for other courses, I took the course Soul Realignment Soul Realignment: Akashic Record certifications, Akashic Record Readings, develop intuition, intuitive development - it is very in-depth, mostly for people who want to start their own business and is more about the Akashic record than communicating with spirit guides, although a side effect of doing it for me was opening up to guides as well.

Hi Alex,

I am a Soul Realignment colleague of Anna's and Anna is wonderful - I highly recommend working with her.

The book I started with was The Psychic Pathway by Sonia Choquette - I love her stuff.

In the meantime, I have a free guided meditation for meeting your spirit guides on my website if you are so inclined and feel it may benefit you. Home - * Simply Divine Life *
I also can coach you on communicating with your guides and intuitive development.

Blessings,
Keena

Hey Alex,

I know both Anna and Keena (and I also know lots about Soul Realignment, the intuitive development modality they're trained/certified in). I don't have any personal experience with Keena, but I'm good friends with Anna and have learned much from her. I'm sure either one of them would be able to help you out.

I also want to let you know about Slade Roberson's site, Shift Your Spirits.

Slade's "thing"--what he does as for a living (in addition to writing, and other projects)--is communicating with Spirit--with spirit guides. One of the reasons his site Shift Your Spirits exists is, as he has written on his site, to teach people how to connect to their own guides.

He has an entire blog category devoted to the topic of spirit guides, and he also has two products that you can check out on his site (I'll let you explore those on your own; I don't want to be too sales-y. I will mention, though, that I had similar intentions to you a few months ago, and I found Slade's class Talking to Your Spirit Guides helpful). (Slade's also releasing a comprehensive intuitive development and certification course--in his words, a "Professional Intuitive Training Program." It's not out yet, but you can learn more about it here. I'm pretty sure he'll mention on his blog when it's ready.)

One thing I want to mention is that it's helpful to have an awareness of what you want to do. E.g. Do you just want to connect with your guides, or do you also want to learn how to do readings for others, too?

I always find it difficult to pinpoint (or at least, articulate) my desires (since my desires are usually really massive and interconnected, so singling one out and saying "this is my desire" feels like I'm not acknowledging all my other, inseparable desires), so I won't ask you to do the same, but the point I want to make is that there are many ways to connect with that which we call Spirit, and in my experience (which may differ to yours), I make the most progress when I work with the people who resonate with me and heed my intuition. I've done the opposite--not heeded my intuition--and I can say that heeding it, by far, yields more satisfying results that seem to account for the "big picture" of my desires rather than just a single desire I've "plucked" from that larger, collective mix of desires and tried to will into being through effort alone.

That said, your experiences might be different to mine, but that's kind of my point--your experience will be unique to you, so it's helpful to trust yourself as you explore the various (and many!) options you have available.

I've been meditating each night for the last 4 nights, and I've noticed I'm getting some subtle communications. It's fascinating because there's a whole world I'm about to explore, it's exciting and a bit scary too! Thanks everyone for the thoughtful replies, I'm going to keep meditating, start with a book or two, and go from there. Something tells me my psychic channel is already opening
