Should be titled: Contacting SYLVIA BROWNE'S Spirit Guide, December 15, 2007
I have studied metaphysics for over 20 years and during that time I have already developed a connection and relationship with my own spirit guide. I love Sylvia Browne and her work, so when I saw this book in a bookstore one day, I was excited to see what she had to say on the subject and to see if there was anything new I could learn from her. After reading the other reviews, I felt sorry for the people who spent money on this book. Just from what I read in the bookstore, I could tell this book did not offer anything practical on how to develop a relationship with one's spirit guide(s), something I felt the people reviewing this book were seeking. Others remarked that this book was life-changing and one of Sylvia's best -to-date, which I thought was wonderful for them, but surprising. While I found Sylvia's book interesting and I enjoyed getting to know more of her story, it seemed to be merely an autobiographical account of Sylvia's relationship with her own spirit guides, with very little to assist others (including the text I read from the CD) in developing such a relationship (thus the title of my review). The book "Opening to Channel: How To Connect With Your Guide", written by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer, seemed more like a handbook to connecting with your guide and was very effective for me. I highly recommend this book, as I think it offers more of what people are looking for when they buy Sylvia's book. It includes exercises/meditations that helped me to be open and receptive to my guides and I had brilliant results. Although the book's title, "Opening to Channel" might spark an automatic response in most people, the book helped me to distinguish that I am a conscious channel and I am aware of all the information my guide is giving me, versus going completely unconscious as most channels are perceived. I am able to connect and when I do readings for others, they are very much like Jon Edwards or Sylvia Browne in that I am fully awake and alert to what I am telling people. Opening to Channel by Sanaya Roman and Duane Packer: Great book...and it is probably what you are looking for. I owned it, read it, used it, loved it, lost it during a move, missed it, bought it again, used it again, loved it again, and I read it once every couple of years or so.

Excellent Book: Effort Required, January 3, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Contacting Your Spirit Guide (Book w/CD) (Hardcover)
This is a book that gives you a technique to contact your Spirit Guide. It is A technique and like all techniques you have to use it. It is a little like lifting weights. If the weights sit on the floor, gathering dust, you are not going to get strong. If you lift them only once and give up, you are not going to get strong. You have to lift them regularly. You are going to have to work Sylvia Browne's technique until it works. As usual, Sylvia Browne explains clearly what to do and why you do it. If you are not going to make an effort, then don't buy the book, but if you want to do something spiritual for yourself, this is a good book with good techniques to help you do it.

Following directions&Paying attention, October 13, 2003
This review is from: Contacting Your Spirit Guide (Book w/CD) (Hardcover)
I have read everthing Sylvia Browne has written and found the CD included in this book to be extremly helpful.It is imposible to meditate while you read,so the CD was an excellent tool. Even thought the book is short it holds the key to open the door to meeting a very special sprit that is yours alone.I have meet my guide,Marcia,by folloing along with the CD and it was an experience that I can only compare with the birth of my childern.I know that anyone who wants to do it can.You must let yourself be clear in your mind and open to the experience.I promise it is worth the effort.Sylvia has made it easy and very possible and I thank her for it.Give it a try and you will not be disappointed!
