What an incredible book so far. I haven't finished it, but right in the first chapter are tips to help you sharpen your 6 senses. I've been practicing the techniques discussed in this book and I'm already feeling more connected to the universe.

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Five stars simply for the number of meditation and mental exercises that will help unfold your unconscious imagination and establish a deeper connection with yourself and Spirit. Don't read this book expecting to become what popular culture would term a "psychic," as that's not the point of this book. The main focus is using meditation and mental exercises to develop a very close relationship with your intuition and personal sense of self. This is a really quick read with over 30 exercises (some better than others) that I will continue to refer to. Highly, highly recommended for those interested in the topic.

This book was a free download for my Kindle! I went to see a psychic for fun a couple of weeks ago and thought it would be interesting to see how they do it. Not what I thought at all!! It is a lot like "The Secret." It's about putting your positive thoughts out there for the universe to return. Everyone is born with "psychic" ability. There were exercises to use and practice to refine or start you on your way. I will be looking forward to practicing some of them to see what happens. Always something new to learn!!

Amazing book to know about basic psychic abilities. It's great that where the writer want you to get to your unlimited Higher mind ; where exists many possibilities to change your life and grow as a person but at the same time he tried to explain you with his some failed case studies that There is a source of infinite knowledge that governs you. So you have to obey laws of the nature. A good book if you want to learn about psychic world.

Q:
Когда вы все больше привыкаете к сфере экстрасенсорного опыта, вы начинаете считать, что можете исправить абсолютно все таким способом, который сами выбрали. Это не так. Существует разум, гораздо более высокий, чем наш. Мы должны поступать в соответствии с его советами. Достижение понимания всего в течение этой жизни не является нашей задачей. Наша задача – делать все возможное, искренне предлагать свою помощь и прилагать все возможные усилия для того, чтобы обогатить жизнь людей и мир в целом. Если мы будем действовать в рамках, которые определил для нас высший разум, то добьемся успеха. Не пытайтесь прыгнуть выше головы. Большего, чем есть у вас, высший разум не ждет от вас, и вам не следует ожидать большего от самих себя.
Не разочаровывайтесь, если ваши усилия ни к чему не приводят. Видимо вы выходите за рамки, определенные для вас высшим разумом, и ставите себе слишком большие цели.
Оставьте неудачи в прошлом и продолжайте прилагать все свои усилия всегда, когда будете иметь такую возможность.
Мы все появились на свет с врожденными склонностями, которые можно развить в превосходные навыки, если учиться, тренироваться и быть усердными. Есть то, к чему мы имеем природную предрасположенность, и то, к чему мы мало предрасположены или в чем мы ограничены. Если мы сконцентрируемся на развитии наших природных способностей, то мы можем добиться удивительных успехов в этих областях. Если мы сконцентрируется на том, к чему у нас мало способностей, мы сможем получить лишь небольшие результаты, но великие достижения здесь крайне маловероятны.
Например, у меня почти нет способностей к работе плотника. Вы можете отправить меня в школу на один год, чтобы я обучился плотницкому делу, и я, возможно, научусь немного лучше пилить древесину и реже буду попадать молотком по пальцу. Но я все равно так и не смогу сделать приличный деревянный ящик.
Зато у меня есть природные способности к писательскому делу, и я быстро научился профессионально писать книги, статьи и рассказы.
Все это относится и к вашему развитию, а также к использованию вашего разума в конкретных целях. Вы обнаружите, что некоторые экстрасенсорные способности присущи вам от природы, а к другим вы менее способны. Упражнения, истории и учебные материалы из этой книги позволят вам сделать первые шаги навстречу реализации ваших врожденных экстрасенсорных способностей.
Сконцентрируйтесь на том, что легче всего получается, и что по вашим ощущениям более естественно для вас. Конечно, если хотите, вы можете сконцентрироваться и на том, что более трудно и менее понятно. Но вы должны осознавать, что ваши ожидания могут не оправдаться. Неоправданные ожидания не являются неудачей. Никто из нас не может достичь выдающихся успехов абсолютно во всем, если бы это было так, мы бы не были людьми.
Самый успешный способ не достичь ничего – не пытаться.
Поэтому я призываю вас пробовать все, что описано в этой книге, создавать свои собственные техники и стараться применять их. Продолжайте исследовать и расширять свои экстрасенсорные способности.
Получайте удовольствие и радуйтесь своим успехам, и не забывайте благодарить высший разум.
Не разочаровывайтесь из-за неудач; они тоже являются частью вашего учебного процесса.
Будьте благодарны за любой опыт, будь то потрясающий успех или катастрофическая неудача. Продолжайте двигаться навстречу жизни, будучи полностью открытыми и творческими, используйте свои врожденные экстрасенсорные способности, создавая для себя и для тех, с кем вы взаимодействуете, жизнь, которая полностью удовлетворит вас.
Я желаю вам успехов, и пусть все у вас получится.

This book is for absolute beginners. I was expecting to come away with more knowledge about the subject than I already have. But the exercises are very basic and geared toward those who have no knowledge of psychic development. Some of the exercises also seem more geared toward self-hypnosis rather than psychic development. But sometimes it's good to revisit the basics. And I did find some of the material and exercises useful. Good for beginners.

[Ellie · Rating 2 out of 5]

From my point of view I didn't really like this book. Slow going with very little development. However it was easy to read. You would have to be interested in Psychic Ability to really want to read this book, even so you wouldn't learn much from it.

[Mortimer Adramelech · Rating 3 out of 5]

Good for absolute beginners, but fairly superficial. This book gives you the techniques to start working on gaining psychic abilities, from a white light/right hand path/Guardian angel perspective.

Interesting anecdote about a hypnosis practicing lesbian ghost.

Too many cases.

not what i was looking for

[Brandi D'angelo · Rating 3 out of 5]

My mom says that I used to tell her who was coming over or calling on the phone before it happened. According to Psychic Development, we all have this ability; we just need to devote time to honing our senses. The main lesson I garnered was that you need to pay attention; what do you see? What do you hear?

William Hewitt gives multiple examples of how to sense things: ghosts, deceased people, pets, the future, etc. One downside of his advice is that he recommends VERY specific methods for finding your "psychic level" or your "psychic shield." I believe there are likely multiple methods individuals can use. We are all different. All in all, a decent read and fun for beginners.

[Ophelia Rose · Rating 1 out of 5]

Dogmatic and repetitive. The book felt like the author was just trying to fill space by repeating himself about how effective the techniques in the book are going to be. The book advertises being able to master various techniques, one of which being astral projection. In the chapter on astral projection the author tells a story about a woman he knew who could do it, and the explains that he has no techniques for it. A majority of the “case studies” are just his claims about his own work. There’s also an entire paragraph where the author basically says racism exists because people who are subjected to racism believe they deserve it? Absolute garbage.

[Denisa Liliana · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed the exercises and the journey, indeed, the exercises are meant for total beginners who want to develop psychic abilities. The book is very straight-forward, clear and easy to follow which is perfect for beginners. If it's not your first time learning psychic stuff, I don't really recommend reading this. I gave it only 4 stars because I feel that the author could have written more case studies or more information about these skills. However, there are many topics that he touches which are useful for psychic development. Happy reading!

[Jill Nicole · Rating 5 out of 5]

Absolutely amazing book. Love the author who feels like a friend guiding you through psychic development while also telling you his own experiences and stories which were all wonderful to hear, and very inspiring. I had such a good feeling inside myself the whole way through this book and would absolutely recommend this to someone looking for psychic development. It was also incredibly relaxing reading this book and doing the exercises inside, a lot of the exercises made me feel like I had just went to accupuncture type of relaxed. So thankful this book fell into my hands!

[Hilly Gooze · Rating 5 out of 5]

does a good job at bridging the gap between the beta brain waves that most of us are so used to and an alpha or theta level of brain waves which are void of thought meditative and the most productive for receiving psychic messages. I didn't think it could be put into words but here it is, does a pretty good job too. lot's of useful exercises.

[DaCane · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was enjoyable! I enjoyed doing the exercises and believe I have learned a thing or two that may be useful for my path going forward. I don’t have many works to compare it to but for now I am around a 4.5-4.8 with the stars and will continue to use the exercises to see if that changes at all going forward.

If you are interested in psychic abilities, as well as the services of such specialists, there are now more innovative solutions like magicdivination. A platform with several options for fortune telling, available at any time of the day, it will help you achieve emotional balance and it's an excellent tool for exploring yourself.
