This book is dedicated to my “clear seeing” acquisitions editor, Amy Glaser;
production editor Laura Graves; all the revision and proofreading editors at
Llewellyn Worldwide who work on my books as a team; and my mother, who has
carefully gone over each of my books and set me straight if I’ve muddled things
up! Thank you all for your vision.
introduction
W
hen I was in college, everyone in my dorm knew I was a clairvoyant. You
see, the walls were paper thin, and I was working for one of those psychic
hotlines in which I would give clairvoyant readings over the phone. My next-door
neighbor in the hallway was always very shy around me and seemed too frightened
to talk or return my smiles and waves. I never heard a peep out of her until one
night, she knocked on my door. I opened the door and she stood timidly in the dim
light of the hallway looking at me with earnest and friendly eyes.
“There’s a spider in my room,” she said. “Will you kill it for me?”
My jaw dropped. Then I couldn’t help but chuckle. “What makes you think I kill
spiders?” I asked. “I’m a vegetarian; I love all living creatures.”
Her face fell. “I … uh …,” she began. Then the rest spilled out in a rush. “I figured
that since you tell fortunes you must be into all sorts of spooky Halloween stuff and
… maybe … oh, I don’t know … ” She looked up at me balefully. I imagine she
thought I might like to throw the spider into a cauldron and cast a spell.
I went into her room and she pointed out the offending arachnid, which was still
lying on her bedspread. Gently, I captured it in a drinking glass, carried it down the
three flights of stairs, and released it into the bushes outside the dorm hall. She
followed me sheepishly and grinned. “Thanks,” she said. “I’m sorry I implied you
were evil or bad or something. What is it that you really do?”
Thus began one of my most satisfying exchanges with a layperson that would
alter another’s perceptions about clairvoyance; many would later follow. You don’t
have to make a huge effort to promote clairvoyance, even if you believe it has
changed your life. In fact, the best thing you can do to advance the cause is to make
an effort not to shy away from intrusive questions and curious eyes.
Being clairvoyant is a big responsibility but it also comes with great blessings.
When you are clairvoyant, a whole new world of sensory experience can open to
you. The past and the future can seem more accessible and even better, more
changeable. Best of all, you may be able to see some people whom you dearly miss,
if distance or even death has separated you.
Imagine being able to see true visions of the past, present, and future with your
own eyes. You can have the gift of powerful psychic vision, and it will feel natural
and normal. Forget those movies where a clairvoyant doubles over in pain or
shock, wincing because of terrifying premonitions. Clairvoyance can be a source of
gentle wisdom, the sort of message that appears to you while sipping a cup of tea,
rather than one the universe can deliver like a whack over the head with the “clue-
by-four.”
Clairvoyance (“clear-seeing”) is the ability to see literal or symbolic truth using
your eyes or the mind’s eye. Being labeled psychic unfortunately carries with it
certain expectations. It implies that you know everything. However, psychic
perception simply means that you receive information through senses other than
your usual five. Yes, you see with your eyes, however most of the perception of
light that enters your eyes is actually processed and made useful in your brain. Thus
clairvoyance, like physical eyesight, is something that is mostly performed by your
brain. However, it also has a special link with spiritual ability. Think of it like your
physical eyesight is governed by your body and your mind, while your clairvoyant
sight is regulated by your mind and your spirit.
This book is designed for the beginner. With it, you will be able to learn how to
experience clairvoyance on your own terms. Whether you’ve been struggling all
your life to control your ability to see flashes of visions or you’ve never seen
anything more than what’s in front of you, you’ll be able to develop your natural
talents and potential abilities. We’ll start with honing ordinary powers of
observation. The natural world is full of omens waiting to be noticed and put to use.
When you’re ready to move on to seeing things that are out of the ordinary, you
can start with your eyes closed. The world of dreams is the best place for any
budding psychic to start understanding the strange symbols and vibrant landscape of
clairvoyant thought. Besides, you’ve probably already been dreaming all your life.
Once you start gaining mastery over the understanding of dreams, you can then
develop the ability to meditate and even go into a trance to see things in your mind’s
eye the same way you experience dreams.
For those brave enough to move on, you’ll be able to start being clairvoyant with
your eyes open. Tools that inspire your eyes and your subconscious, called scrying
tools, serve as simple focus objects, like a bowl of water, crystal ball, or candle. By
providing nondescript imagery or a blank slate, scrying tools invite your eyes and
your mind to fill in the blanks with other things. Just as in your dreams, things that
you see may be very symbolic, or you might find an emerging talent for seeing the
literal past, present, or future.
Moving forward, you will be given tools for removing crutches for (and barriers
to) psychic development while still keeping healthy boundaries. Once you’re fully
equipped to perform clairvoyant readings for yourself, you may want to do
readings for others. You can learn to use your newfound clairvoyance to read
people and advise on matters of love, money, career, and family. Finally, we’ll get
into the theory of clairvoyance, and we’ll learn how to tell the difference between
seeing spiritual visions … and being a candidate for the loony bin.
You’re about to embark on an unusual journey for people in our modern culture.
For most of us, seeing things that “aren’t there” is something to be feared and is
often misunderstood. As you approach clairvoyance seriously, you’ll find yourself
in a new world of ethical and spiritual issues. It is up to you to build a structure of
moral, realistic, and socially conscious behavior when taking on the life-changing
role of a clairvoyant. The life can be exciting, exhilarating, thought-provoking, and
theologically inspiring. You’ll need to know when to keep your eyes open and your
wits about you. You’ll need to be able to relax and close your eyelids to the world.
This book is designed to empower the capable and clairvoyant you.
How to Use This Book
This book was written with the complete beginner in mind, so that even someone
who has never had a clairvoyant vision will be able to develop that ability. To that
end, skills are taught in a specific sequence to ensure smooth transitions. For
example, you’ll go from comfortable, everyday practices like observation and
dreaming to more advanced techniques like seeing spirits and interpreting visions. It
is important not to skip around in this book, even if you want to jump ahead to a
more interesting part.
