Review

William Hewitt maintains that everyone is born with some degree of psychic ability. That, if they knew how to access and utilize their inborn psychic abilities they could succeed at everything they turned their mind to, from solving everyday problems to enjoying dynamic and fulfilling relationships. Psychic Development For Beginners shows some fast, easy ways to unleash personal psychic force and become a happy, healthy, fully developed human being. These 44 practical exercises will quickly enable the reader to realize a host of spiritual and material benefits, from learning how to contact a spirit guide to alerting oneself of imminent danger with psychic warnings. These exercises are simple, take little time, and they allow the reader to design a personal psychic development program and proceed at their own pace. These exercises are presented along with 28 psychic case studies that illustrate the incredible capabilities at the reader's command -- once they've released their natural psychic potential. Psychic Development For Beginners is a unique and unusual self-help book. -- Midwest Book Review

Product Description

Just imagine this: a friend gives you a ring to look at. She tells you that it has been in her family for generations. Suddenly, your mind is filled with images. Births and marriages, lovers and deathbeds, infants and the aged. You describe the images and your friend looks at you in shock. Everything you said was part of her family history. How could you have known?

This wasn't luck. It was an actual skill called psychometry. And as with all skills, you can do exercises to improve it. Now you can learn how to enhance this ability and many others in William W. Hewitt's Psychic Development for Beginners.

Using more than 25 examples and 44 easy but potent mental exercises, you'll learn to develop all of your psychic abilities. Psychometry is just one of them. Other skills you'll learn include psychic healing, telepathy (mental communication with others), clairvoyance, communication with the spirit world, prophecy, astral travel and creative visualization.

Psychic abilities can be very practical, too. The book explains how to use your psychic abilities to develop a psychic alarm clock that can wake you up at any time you desire, keep you from falling asleep at the wrong time, or even help you find a parking place.

5.0 out of 5 stars Get "rock star parking" and more using your psychic power, March 28, 2003

By	book_review_grrl "book_review_grrl" (Raleigh, NC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychic Development for Beginners: An Easy Guide to Developing & Releasing Your Psychic Abilities (For Beginners (Llewellyn's)) (Paperback)

This is one of my favorite metaphysical books. It contains 44 practical exercises that you can use to help develop your psychic abilities, including creating a psychic shield for protection, sensing psychic information just by touching an object, and creating a psychic goal bowl. It can be used by beginners and non-beginners alike. I find that every time I return to it, I learn something new. There are many metaphysical truths lying buried in William Hewitt's words. Very highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars For Those Who need Help Starting, August 24, 2002

By	[e-mail] - See all my reviews

This review is from: Psychic Development for Beginners: An Easy Guide to Developing & Releasing Your Psychic Abilities (For Beginners (Llewellyn's)) (Paperback)

I readed this book in one sitting . As I read it I try out some of the things he offers. I have been working with the psychic world for a few months on a serious level. I always knew I could do it . I just hide it away. Like so many people do. So when I started I try to find a book that was plain and to the point on the how too.I had read books by John Edwards and Sylvia Brown for years.And I have gotten some good ideas from John Edwards. But I think this book is more to the point for all who are really interested it trying all they can . They all give examples . But this book is more the hands on do it your self type that a person needs who knows they need to take one more step . But what is that step. I borrow this book from a library to see if it was what I thought I wanted . After reading it I am now buying it today . In the book he mentions that you need only one good book in a time frame of say one year to get you started and I would say this is the one good book. I have read MANY books on the subject and so far this by far the easiest to understand and work with.

2.0 out of 5 stars Easy and pleasant read, but not very deep, July 30, 2006

By	Niels J. Groving (Denmark) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Psychic Development for Beginners: An Easy Guide to Developing & Releasing Your Psychic Abilities (For Beginners (Llewellyn's)) (Paperback)

This is surely a book for beginners. After a few basic mental exercises to easily and quickly go to 'your basic psychic level', the rest of the book is mostly a long list of pleasant case stories intermixed with very short and easy descriptions on how to do something similar - just by asking your higher mind and/or guide/angle for it.
I see the value of the book as an appetizer to a potentially wonderful and very pleasant life with just about any power and knowledge one could imagine. But it will probably not make you a psychic unless you are already VERY close. Perhaps one should keep in mind that the author has a background in hypnotherapy and builds somewhat on (self-) suggestion.
I bought the book because of some exercises mentioned in a review, and indeed some of them might show up to be beneficial over time. As usual, this will depend more on the student than the teacher. But again, more depth would have been nice.
