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

When 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.

However, if after reading the first two chapters you have attained a certain level of clairvoyant practice, it is okay to read on past that level. You can apply the skills you learned while examining your dreams or meditating when figuring out how to interpret symbols (explored in chapter 5). In short, you don’t have to push yourself beyond where you feel comfortable, but by all means go ahead and learn what is in store for you. Build at your own pace to more advanced levels.

Getting Started

Perhaps you’ve already had some psychic flashes—brief images in your mind of a future event that later came to pass. You may believe it was déjà vu or your mind playing tricks on you. You might not believe that you are a naturally talented psychic, or you may simply yearn to have moments of insight and intuition that can empower your life. No matter your level of experience, confidence, or ambition, you can start with some basics.

I’ve tried to remember my first clairvoyant experience, but honestly, I can’t! When I was a child, I didn’t just have an imaginary friend, I was constantly co-creating myself along with entire imaginary worlds. When I would tell my parents about visions I saw, they did not simply ignore a child’s ramblings. Instead, they paid attention and encouraged my ability to see the world in a different way. When I had dreams that seemed to be premonitions about the future, my mother would smile and share some of her own, and she still does to this day. I don’t believe my upbringing made me clairvoyant, however; it simply allowed me to begin developing my potential at an early age.

Everyone has the potential to be clairvoyant. Yes, even the grumpy old staunch atheist aunt in your family or the skittish and fearful young friend who can’t even stand to think about the supernatural. Seeing is believing, and we all piece together our world from our perceptions, faulty or otherwise. Every one of us with normal, healthy physiology can’t avoid making assumptions about our world based on information that comes into our brains in the form of visual cues as well as mental perceptions. The least creative person in the world still has dreams, and the most overactive imagination in the world can still tell the difference between an apple and an orange by sight.

When I was a very small child, my favorite soup was alphabet soup, and my favorite cereal happened to be one that was also made up of letters. I would screw up my eyes, think up a question, and then gaze into my bowl, hoping that the swirling letters I had moved with my spoon would give me an answer. They never disappointed me, but they were apparently expensive, and my parents preferred to purchase brand X cornflakes whenever we ran out. Undeterred, I continued to ask my questions of my cornflakes, gazing into the milky mysteries of the floating, soggy shapes that stuck to the sides of the bowl. What were once letters became pictures, but I could still tell the story of my answers as easily as if I were reading them in a book. What I was doing was a childish

form of scrying in a manner almost identical to the tea leaf reading I do for adults to this day.

Where should you begin developing clairvoyance amid the backdrop of cultural tendencies and confusing psychology? The best way to start is with the skills and abilities that you already have. You may be a seasoned psychic or maybe you’ve never had any experience ever; all the same, you will have to identify what you are working with. You have your eyes, brain, and potentially a spirituality as your first resources; it is time to assess the prominence and importance of each.

How to Tap Into and Strengthen

Your Clairvoyant Potential

Everyone is born with clairvoyant potential, even those who have limitations of visual acuity or a tendency to avoid intuitive thinking. The difference between an amazing seer and somebody who has never experienced a psychic vision is that the former put a lot more time and effort into developing clairvoyant potential. Yes, some people stumble upon natural predispositions earlier than others, but the reaction to clairvoyance can affect its development. Some people recall being vividly imaginative and clairvoyant as a child but then losing that ability while growing up. The good news is that you haven’t lost that special talent! It might just be hidden from you right now in the course of your busy everyday life.

Think about when you were a very small child. Did you have an imaginary friend? Did you see things in the dark or in the clouds in the sky that
