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

From the Publisher

For many years I have said one of the goals of Llewellyn is what I call the "democratization of magic." By this I mean that various techniques which put you back in control of your life should be available to everyone. A prime example of this can be found in William W. Hewitt's Psychic Development for Beginners.

With the information in this book you don't have to go to a psychic. Now, you can be your own psychic. You can share the more than three-dozen exercises that will help you develop your psychic abilities. You can even do psychic healing for yourself and others.

This book puts you in control. Do you think you are under psychic attack? You will be able to deal with it. Do you need to communicate with someone who is not near a phone? You can learn telepathy. Would you like to contact spirits? This book shows you how.

Virtually all of the major psychic abilities are not only described, but are fully explained so you can do them. The exercises teaches you the skills, and helps you expand them. You can use them for your own purposes, even for such mundane things as finding a good parking place or waking up on time. But you can also use them to astral travel and heal others.

Whatever your goals in life, you'll find that Psychic Development for Beginners will give you a boost to achieve your desires.

As a SPECIAL OFFER we're including with every copy of this book a card that will allow you to receive a free copy of FATE, the world's leading magazine of the paranormal (new subscribers only). This would cost you $4.95 at the newsstand, so this is a great deal!

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

By book_review_grrl

Format: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]

Format: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.

5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book By An Excellent Auther And Practitioner January 25, 2002

By MysticWinds

Format:Paperback

I simply could not allow myself to go buy other books without commenting on William H. Hewitt's book, Psychic Development for Beginners. It is an excellent book with simple, practical excercises that make meditation and awakening the awareness of one's inner self as easy as following a proven recipe in a cookbook, and it works! The simple undeniable assurance that all ages, genders, nationalities, vocations, etc have psychic abilities is wonderfully refreshing, and releases doubt one may have in the matter. Afterwards practical information creates a sensible understanding of why we have such abilities, and how they can be best used. William H. Hewitt is a humanitarian, and an excellent author. The excercises are reasonable with out any need for special equipment, except your mind. The steps lead to wonderful daily tools, greater abilities and safeguards to help you protect them and yourself from mismanagement. Mr. Hewitt encourages practical daily applications without fear of wearing something or someone's welcome out. The "More practice the better" is encouraged with a lighthearted "be creative and have fun with it" attitude. I have found wonderful tools in my psychic abilities. Thank you Mr. Hewitt for helping me to see that I could programm my subcounscious for an alarmclock which means that now I don't have to worry about power outages, it just works so well! :D And thank you for the Beach of Time, my favorite place now to do a great many things. All the excercises can develop and gradually become more advanced without discouragement, many of my internet friends have read my tiny excerpts and have bought their own copies just for some tidbit of common sense here or there they missed in other books. The excercises and references are easy to relocate....Chakras and chakra cleaning are not mentioned much in this book, but healing, by the hands, is. This is the best book on the metaphysical that I currently have, it helped me to have a few wonderful experiences that are quite profound for me. I enjoy going back to it for review and encouragement. I am not through with this book by a long shot! :) I highly recommend this book for all beginners and searchers of psychic awareness and awakening. Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars The best book ever written for Psychic Develpment. August 3, 1999

By A Customer

Format:Paperback

When I started to become intrested in the psychic phenomenon, I nearly jumped for joy when I found this book, Psychic Develpment for Beginners, by William Hewitt. It informed me a great deal about my inate psychic abilities. It told me how to use the abilty invested in everyone by Our Creator, to make the things that have eluded me forever, to happen! It's an amazing book, and anyone intrested in the New Age phenomenon should read it. It enabled me to choose the path that I like the most. It's probably the best book written that teaches beginners to develop their psychic abilities. I've been praticing the excerises in the book, and have had extrodinary sucess. I never knew I could do such amazing things! Since I've finished it, I lead some of my friends into reading it, they to loved it. And you will to. If you have any intrest in psychic abilities, this is the one book you should read. I'm sure you'll learn from it, and hope you have as much sucess with it as I did.

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

By Niels J. Groving

Format: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.
