the Narrator read it as if it were a childrens book. I am stopping it because, her voice is making horrible for me. I'm only in the first chapter.

Dont know how I feel about the author

I usually dont review books that I dont finish, but I just cant get past the air of the person writing this book. I didnt mind the narrator at all, unlike others, but the author seems very full of it to me, I'm sorry to say. Cultural appropriation issues aside for the moment, I have a problem with her calling herself the "authority" on learned mediumship. She isnt the first one to learn how to do mediumship without first being naturally inclined to this talent, and certainly not the first to write about it. On top of that, she calls herself an authority on the topic, but fails to leave her personal religious beliefs out of this, yet says it's for everyone who is interested in mediumship. Not everyone interested is Jewish, first of all, ma'am. Second of all, he says there is no such thing as "evil" spirits? Even if you dont want to call them "evil" per se, there are definitely malevolent beings in the spirit world who do not have your best interests at heart, and who you need to protect yourself from, which she seems to not give guidance for. Not every entity is of "love and light", nor can they be "converted" by humans to he so. It all just seems so pretentious. What really turned me off though, and what had me listening with a side eye for the rest of what I listened to, was when she talked about her late ex boyfriend. She talks about his issues and tragedy as something more of a tool to aid her, instead of giving his situation the respect it deserved. She talks about his issues while he was alive and immediately talks about how it affected her, which bothered me. She says it added drama to her life, and how he served as the tower card for her, and how it taught her things to help her in her life, how his issues helped her see things in her own life and helped her grow and heal, even says that HE supported HER in this process even though it stemmed from HIS issues, but fails to talk about his own issues in relation to himself, nor anything in regards to helping him. I'm not saying she never did, I dont know her personally, but it seems strange to me that everything she recounts from their past was about what she took, saving, learning, healing, flgrowing, from him, but not anything given, like he was some teacher sent to aid her in her journey, NOT a partner that she was supposed to be in a relationship with. Even her dream of him rescuing her is reminiscent of this. But most of all, when she talked about his suicide, even then, she still made it about herself, and practicing her mediumship. I understand that this a book about mediumship, but, damn, I would think that your words about a past ex and friend killing himself would be a little more heartfelt and caring, not entirely hinging on your own growth, learning and abilities. It makes her seem so damn selfish and self centered. I dont know the details of the entire story, I'm sure there more than what written of course, but she shouldnt have wrote it the way she did. It was disrespectful to him and his memory in my humble opinion, and, like i said, selfish to talk about his life, issues, and passing all as tools to help her grow. He was a person, not a resource, and he should have been talked about more as such.

Best guide for mediumship

This was the best book on mediumship I have listened to. Wether you were born with obvious gifts or gifts to be discovered, she offers great advise and practices, as well as an explanation of all the different types of mediumship. From beginner to professional. I will listen to this one again in the future.

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.

Wonderful and Comprehensive Guide

I enjoyed the perspective and stories in this book. Lots of exercises to help develop your mediumship capabilities as well as pro tips to ensure adequate preparation. I liked that it also included interviews with other mediums to give a well rounded view of others’ experiences. Very well done and worth the read.

Everything said and this book is exact

I am a spiritualist, Rev. and spiritualist teacher on many different subjects for my Chapel United Fellowship Chapel in Tucson Arizona which was open as the first virtual chapel in Tucson Arizona. As I was reading all of these chapters I find that every thing we teach is all said with exact from this book. So I am very appreciative and thankful.
