In addition, I’ve included in each chapter a student case study so you can see how a specific technique directly benefited someone else’s spiritual self-growth.

Did you know we possess five psychic senses that correspond to our five physical senses? Because psychic/intuitive information can come to us in a variety of ways, it helps to be aware of how we can receive these messages. Our five physical senses are comprised of sight, touch, taste, hear, and smell. Our five psychic senses operate on all of these levels too; for instance, some of us hear our messages, some smell certain odors that evoke a deep symbolic meaning, and others feel an answer to a question through touching an object or a person’s hand. By staying open to how you may receive psychic information, you will be less likely to miss or second-guess what you are seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, or smelling.
It is also interesting to note that whichever of your senses seems most strong at present may change to another sense as you continue to evolve. This is where your notebook can play an important role: jot down any and all psychic snippets you receive at any given time and keep track of how you received the information. By snippets, I am referring to fleeting pieces of information that seem disconnected or do not seem like an entire message. Examples of snippets can be seeing a wash of color, or hearing one word or a short phrase. Very rarely does psychic information come to us as a full sentence or in a scene played out in our mind’s eye. Interpreting our psychic messages comes down, in large part, to recognizing how we usually receive our information and then in knowing what particular symbols mean to us. Can you remember any recent psychic impressions? Through which sense, or senses, did they occur? At your leisure, reflect upon your experiences to date—in the near future it will be interesting to note how your receptivity changes and deepens.
Be sensitive to your five psychic senses as you proceed through this workbook. Give yourself the freedom to experience in your own way and at your own pace. Psychic development is very individualized and personal, and you will experience many “light bulb” moments and increased joy as you progress on your journey.
Becoming more psychically aware is similar to being a detective. Instead of gathering facts about time, place, and modus operandi, you will be uncovering details about your inner workings (and possibly the inner workings of others). Consider how paying attention to the above topics can support this process.
Chapter 2, Meditation: Harnessing Energy & Receiving Messages
Practice a rejuvenating loop breathing technique, correct common problems that often occur, and find out how to stay grounded while meditating. Two scripted meditations full of wonderful guided imagery help you master your own meditative style.
Chapter 3, Trust Your Inner Self
In order to progress along your psychic path and implicitly trust your soul’s voice, you need to acknowledge where you are in your current stage of spiritual development. A descriptive writing exercise gives you important feedback for your future use.
Chapter 4, External Energy: Auras
Now you are ready to experiment further with your energy, specifically the energy you project into the outside world. Learn four powerful techniques to help you practice seeing auras and try a method for tangibly feeling them too.

Focusing on your complex and mysterious chakras is next. All seven of them reveal an immense amount of information about your psychic state of being. Discover useful ways to keep them healthy and vibrant.
Chapter 6, Protecting Your Psychic Energy
You do need to be careful of outside influences and energies, both from other people and from the Universe at large. Four highly effective techniques are discussed, along with the importance of staying spiritually ethical.
Chapter 7, Crystal Energies: Spiritual & Practical
Crystals are beautiful and mesmerizing and can take you to a more advanced psychic level. Not only will you learn the basics about properties, colors, and shapes, you will also practice working with your magical stones.
Chapter 8, Working with Dreams & Guides
Receive life-changing messages through your dreams and from your spirit guides. Instruction on directing your dreams and meeting one of your wise teachers will help you uncover a deeper path to your own inner wisdom. A scripted meditation is included.
Chapter 9, Animal Spirit Messengers
Animal guides serve another important role in your ongoing psychic work. Discover the key differences among various animal species, how creature spirits can assist you, and how you can benefit greatly from their highly significant messages.

Would you like to access your past lives? Two techniques are discussed that will make it easier to reveal your previous incarnations. You will also understand why your other lifetimes shape who you are in your current life.

Chapter 12, Importance of Ceremonies & Rituals
Rituals can have an amazingly positive impact on your spiritual development. Two types are highlighted here: spoken-word ceremonies that release intentions and written-word rituals that assist you in completing one of your lifetime goals.
Chapter 13, Never Underestimate Your Psychic Potential
Now that you have a well-rounded knowledge base of your psychic abilities and how you can use them in your day-to-day activities, you may wish to explore other metaphysical tools. Read descriptions of these additional methods to help you decide your next step.

Rebecca Bloom¿s Begin Your Psychic Journey is a treasure-chest of spiritual practice, beginning with its enchanting cover of mountain valley and stream. Within she presents a variety of tools for exploring links between one¿s intuitive nature and day-to-day experiences. Ms. Bloom¿s message encourages one to learn to explore and trust his or her inner nature. Even if the reader only reads and works with the chapter on meditation, the money and effort would be well-spent. Beyond this chapter are a variety of lucidly presented activities, such as those on crystals, dreamwork, animal guides, auras, chakras, and others. Each activity is easy to follow and is capped with a helpful anecdotal entry. Much wisdom pervades this outstanding manual for perusing one¿s spiritual journey. Joseph Kirschner, Professor Emeritus

I know you have read it over and over -- a 'must have for your collection.' This is truly one of those books. Ms. Bloom, the author, speaks to us easily and freely. I have read many books where I felt like the author was either talking to me like I was incompetent or way over my head. Ms. Bloom writes as though she is sitting with the reader and speaking to them. This is quite helpful. She has the ability to explain things to the reader that gives you many an 'aha' moment. What I appreciate the most is that this book will help the reader move forward no matter what stage of self-discovery you are at. I have gifted this book to a few friends and have been thanked over and over for the insight provided. You will find that this book will be a treasure in your collection.
