Dangerous advice

So there are a few critiques I have. The first is the use of white sage, THIS IS CULTURAL APPROPRIATION AND UNETHICALLY SOURCED! Smudging white sage is a CLOSED PRACTICE! Unless you are Native American, or have been invited to use this practice directly from a tribe the practice of smudging white sage is cultural appropriation and harmful to the tribes that use this sacred and rare herb.

Furthermore, just as there is positive energy there is negative energy. I understand that in her opinion those in spirit or spirit beings do not harm people. However, there are negative energies that may cause harm. Please even if you do not believe in these be careful and protect yourself from negative energies by warding. This doesn’t mean you have to be afraid to connect with spirit, you don’t. Just be careful and protect yourself.

Overall, I liked the exercises gone over. There where just a few things that were red flags for me in this book like the white sage. The author probably isn’t aware it’s a closed practice, but I just want to make sure anyone who reads or listen is aware.

Computer generated voice

I will have to read this myself, as I couldn’t get past the reader. There is a name for the reader but I’m 99% sure it’s a computer reading this. There’s a distracting lilt to this voice and I couldn’t listen past a few minutes. I cannot rate the material until I read this myself, but just an FYI on the voice.

Not written to be an audio book

I got absolutely nothing from this book. Sounded like just a woman with a monotone voice reading her idea outlines for a future book. BORING. Wish I could exchange, Audible says NO.

Excellent Exercises

I have taken a few different classes for mediumship and this book has some of the best exercises for developing all the different Clairs.

Will Be Back

This is the ki d of book I could revisit time and and time again!

Couldn't handle the narrator

The monotone vioce of the narrator is awful. had to quit! just don't do it

Great book

This book was in very good detail. The music was there all the time. Lot of beautiful information

Well..

I can’t say this book was horrible. But the ladies story is kind of scattered and she wasn’t good with describing her personal experiences. It’s like she would tell a story of her own and then do like a teaching lesson. Idk I really struggled to get to chapter 2 and couldn’t continue to chapter 3. Some people may enjoy this book though but I can’t handle the scattered stories.

Informative, but not Meant To Be Read Aloud

It was s slow start. I quit listening to it and moved onto another more interesting book. After finishing that one, I came back to this one. and glad I did. It is a very good reference book. Would be better to have a hard copy right in front of you to look up how-to meditations, psychic development exercises, and endless other NUMBERED LISTS. Like I said, a good reference book!

At first, I didn't believe the narrator was a human voice! But very near the end of the reading, I actually heard her pause, take a breath, then raise the pitch of her voice ever so slightly as if she was bored...before continuing her flawless delivery. It made her voice sound more believable to me.

I gave it 3 and 4 stars because although it was mostly good and informative, the writing style and the delivery was slightly boring. It seemed a little behind the times, too sweet, condescending, and it seemed as if she was seeking validation for her beliefs. Near the end it seemed like she was proselytizing for The Spiritualist Church. I also strongly disagree with some of her smugly held beliefs, (such as: There is no such thing as evil spirits, ghosts or Earthbound spirits). I do, however, believe in the need for absolute confidence and fearlessness as the medium interacts with the beings from the spirit world.

A can't put down read.

This book is the best that I've found in the explanation of how to become a Medium. Sharon leaves no stone unturned. A must read.

Amazing!!

One of the best audio books I’ve read on this topic - 100 per cent recommend!!!

Boring and unbelievable

I thought this book would be interesting. However I felt the narrators voice was immature and not convincing
The journey by the author sounds far fetched and lacks credibility

A good book a terrible narrator

This would have been a much better book if there had been a more connected narrator. Sincerity is key to delivering the message so I wish the writer had read it to us.

An extremely well written guide

This book has managed to take the mystery out of a seemingly elusive subject, and offers a very practical guide to those interested in becoming a medium.

It's content is up to date in terms of correct taught practice, and it is full of helpful advice .

As a fully trained healer and teacher, I recommend this to anyone interested in branching out into mediumship.

Deep and supportive spiritual book

This was an unexpected gem.
I am a spiritual healer & know that my next step is to develop my mediumship and channelling skills.
I jumped at the opportunity to access this book, read beautifully, and was amazed at the supportive information and exercises within.
This is a brilliant step by step guide to accessing your connection and then gradually developing skills as a medium, as well as powerful and practical business tips. The case studies as well as experiences of other mediums compound the book’s effectiveness.

Acceptable

Gosh, I wish the reader had been someone else. The voice is clear and well-paced, but totally detached from the content. I half expected 'fasten your seatbelt' or 'your call is important to us' to appear in the same voice. Unfailingly impassive - my jaw was soon pretty tight.
The script is OK, though. I was grateful that we weren't told there is only one way to do mediumship. There is a lot of decent advice around the importance of meditation, accepting the difference of our gifts, getting verifiable evidence and so-on. I suspect the author is an excellent medium and teacher, an OK author and was partly the victim of a poor choice of reader.
