The Psychic Energy Codex: A Manual For Developing Your Subtle Senses [Paperback]

Michelle Belanger (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: July 1, 2007

An authoritative manual for psychic development, The Psychic Energy Codex explores the roots of modern metaphysical beliefs, including the doctrine of the subtle body in the Western tradition, the origin of belief in the chakras, and core principles behind time-honored techniques such as meditation and creative visualization. Like Belanger's Psychic Vampire Codex, The Psychic Energy Codex makes esoteric topics accessible and understandable. The Psychic Energy Codex . . .
- De-mystifies psychic experience, taking a practical, rational approach to phenomena from psychometry to spirit communication with a style that will engage beginners and experts alike
- Provides many hands-on exercises that encourage readers to develop their own beliefs based on direct personal experience
- Teaches readers the underlying principles of psychic phenomena that can then be applied to any interaction with the subtle world

Written in Belanger's engaging, almost novelistic style, the parts of this book that tell her own story draw readers into the possibility that they, too, can develop their own innate abilities.

5.0 out of 5 stars Where was this book 20 years ago?, September 18, 2007

This review is from: The Psychic Energy Codex: A Manual For Developing Your Subtle Senses (Paperback)

This book, along with the earlier work " The Psychic Vampire Codex" by Michelle are excellent lesson books for those who wish to learn how to work with energy.
For those of us who work with energy on a regular basis, this book is a great help in developing a strategy for doing just that. There are many comprehensive and detailed subjects in each chapter. Owing to an obbvious long term study of psychology( a MUST for anyone interested in either occult OR basic energy work), Michelle also devotes an entire chapter to personality types that are problems.
The only complaint I have is that I wish this work was around 20 years ago when I was beginning my foray into the world of unseen energy. (Smirk).
Needless to say this book is a must have for anyone who is serious about energy work and it is written to be of help for anyone along this path.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very complete manual, September 19, 2007

By 

Gesigewigus (Toronto) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Psychic Energy Codex: A Manual For Developing Your Subtle Senses (Paperback)

This book is excellent for beginners just wanting to look into, and understand psychic abilities and phenomena, as well as those interested in developing such. Michelle takes you rationally and easily through a variety of beliefs, theories and exercises to expose you to a wide section of psychic abilities.

While this book is excellent for beginners, it is a great resource for people who are more developed/experienced, as it will introduce them to more concepts and theories, as well as showing you were commonly believed ideas (e.g. rainbow chakras) came from.

Very well written.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than just psychic, July 30, 2008

This review is from: The Psychic Energy Codex: A Manual For Developing Your Subtle Senses (Paperback)

The Psychic Energy Codex is more than just a book about learning how to use or become aware of one's psychic energy. The history and the complexity of psychic energy is included. I found out things in the book I never would have before and just because Ms. Belanger may subscribe to a darker form of energy work, doesn't mean that this book has to be that way. It's from her well-educated and well-researched point of view. Along with discussion psychic energy was also her discussion of group dynamics and the teacher/student relationship not only when it comes to energy work, but also the practicalities of both of these topics that provides much food for thought for the reader. Its a great read for those wanting to know a bit more in depth about being aware of one's energy make-up.
