Beginner's Guide to Mediumship: How to Contact Loved Ones Who Have Crossed Over [Paperback]

Larry Dreller (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: August 1997

"In reality, mediums or 'sensitives' are earnest men and women from all walks of life, just like you and me." - From the Preface For centuries, people have been fascinated by the power and secrets of mediums. And today, many are interested in making contact with the spirit world themselves - either to communicate with loved ones, heal the sick, or discover knowledge - but don't know how. Yet, as Larry Dreller writes, "At birth we all are given the gift of seeing beyond this humble Earth plane into other dimensions, but as we grow older we cast this natural ability aside. Mediums did not lose this ability and are people who act as intermediaries between this world and the 'other side'." Both an introduction to this phenomenon as well as a workbook that guides the reader through exercises to reawaken their abilities, the Beginner's Guide to Mediumship shows how to develop spiritual powers, conduct seances, harness the power of prophecy, comfort and heal others, see auras, and more. Drawing on his own experience, Dreller focuses on pure and practical day-to-day applications of mediumship and how they can enrich readers' lives.

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com Review

The Beginner's Guide to Mediumship is one of few books devoted solely to mediumship that emphasizes the practical application of this ancient practice to modern life. Larry Dreller's intimacy with the art is apparent in his definition of the medium as separate from the psychic and channeler, as well as in his concern about the possible dangers inherent in this art. He wisely devotes nearly half the book to understanding the precautions that should be taken. Anyone with an interest in mediumship, from a passing curiosity to a desire to practice the art, will get something from this book, not the least of which is an awareness of how our lives interact with the realm of the spirits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not one of the better books on this subject..., July 12, 2000

After reading the reviews for this book, I couldn't wait for it to arrive so I could read it. How dissappointing it was! Although I found small parts of this book to helpful, the majority of it was silly. The author talks about NEVER contacting a suicide; what if a family member crossed from suicide? He places alot on the ouija board, how he conjured cowboys who onced lived in his apartment! There just doesn't seem to be alot of truth, as well as the fact that alot of it is just plain boring.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is the best book I've ever read in this field, July 13, 1998

Ground breaking! Fascinating and useable. I particularily like the steps on meditation and the instruction on "how to" do. The author's experiences in the seance and with the paranormal are outstanding. I've read other books on this subject, but not nearly this good. I hope Mr. Dreller writes another book with more personal experiences, with more of his insights. I liked the book enough to give copies out for birthdays and christmas!!

The Beginners Guide to Mediumship has only one problem I found...the title. This book is great for the beginner to the practicing professional. I am a natural psychic who was lead (by a leash) to the field of After Death Communication. Although my abilities are natural, and came without intention, I carefully studied the field of Medium work, before continuing contact with those on the other side, by many different avenues... (this would include first hand advice from other professionals and long time practioners of Medium work, I read everything I could get my hands on, and somewhere in there I did the soul searching I needed because of dealing with such a sensitive subject as, death) I found Larry Dwellars book absolutely an explain all. He keeps explanations simple, realistic, and what I found most wonderous, is the fact that he set down very high ethical values to the beginning Medium! Something we all in this field need to constantly exhibit & remember. Thank you Mr Dwellar!
