Meditations

By John Healey View Profile
James Van Praagh is a brilliant medium, and if you like his style, then Meditations is basically the avuncular Van Praagh in pocketbook form. You can try all of this at home, on the train, in the last few minutes before a vital job interview - anywhere. I would argue that everything he's written and all of the good things he has to say can be taken from the exercises here. This is clearly a useful, meaning practical, guide showing you how to increase your awareness of the deeper subconscious and unconscious realities within you. All of the initial stages that prepare the beginner for meditation are outlined; everything sensible you'd expect to find is here. But anyone thinking of buying this needs to know that there's no mantra based technique on offer. Psychic meditation is what this is about.

So it's mainly visualisation and helping the psychological and emotional self to good health. A familiar approach, fair enough. But it's well known that difficulties on the mental levels will prevent access to deeper areas of the psyche. Now, you won't suddenly be able to give off mediumistic messages after reading this. You'd be lucky, very lucky, if that happens. This is a step in that direction all the same.
