The Psychic in You: Understand and Harness Your Natural Psychic Power [Hardcover]

Jeffrey A. Wands (Author), Tom Philbin (Contributor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 2004

When Jeffrey Wands was six years old, he met his great grandmother Mary. She had been dead for twenty-three years.

Gifted psychic Jeffrey Wands's connection with his great grandmother was the first step in a remarkable journey that has led to his current status as one of the most acclaimed and successful psychics in the country. Now, in "The Psychic in You, " he traces his development as a psychic and describes what it's like to grow up with such an extraordinary gift. Using a series of compelling and dramatic anecdotes, he illustrates the joys -- and the pain -- that this faculty has brought him.

"The Psychic in You" is a book of incredible stories told in the most down-to-earth and readable way. And underpinning this exceptional narrative is Jeffrey Wands's belief that all of us have psychic capabilities, and that all of us can -- and should -- try to develop them. A fascinating read full of dramatic accounts of the paranormal, "The Psychic in You" includes information on:

- Unleashing your own psychic ability

- Contacting loved ones who have crossed over

- Understanding the dead

- Freeing yourself from pain and negativity

- Handling fear of the dead

Captivating, yet practical, this highly readable book dispels the myths and superstitions that surround psychic phenomena and provides a decidedly down-to-earth look at communicating with the other side. Enlightening and absorbing, "The Psychic in You" is essential reading for anyone seeking a richer, more insightful life.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Psychic consultant and radio host Wands describes his own paranormal gifts and urges readers to get in touch with theirs as well in this breezy primer-cum-memoir. He suggests cultivating a "psychic mindset" in which intuitions are trusted, coincidences are considered to be anything but, and virtually everything that catches one's attention as being somehow significant-dreams, passing scents, songs on the radio, flashes of light-are spirit manifestations. Much of the book consists of anecdotes about the author's own encounters with the dead, including an Indian brave who helps him find parking spots and the shade of René Descartes, who feeds him answers on a tough philosophy exam. Wands specializes in relaying messages from departed loved ones to paying clients, and he includes verbatim transcripts of some of his professional consultations. He's not always on-"There's a Mary...maybe a Marjorie or a Margaret person coming through...Someone with a letter M," he says at one point-but there are plenty of scenes in which the clients leave amazed. And sometimes the messages he conveys are either the sort of sound but obvious advice-stop using cocaine, dump that abusive boyfriend-that seems more compelling from beyond the grave, or comforting reassurances that the dead spirit is enjoying a wonderful afterlife. But Wands and co-author Philbin keep the anecdotes light and engaging, and many readers will find this a stimulating boost to their psychic mindsets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Making the inaccessible accessible, September 10, 2005

Mr. Wands' bio touts that he has earned a living as an intuitive psychic for most of his adult life. What it doesn't say is that he could have been earning his living teaching others to do the same thing. This book is his effort to share his knowledge and passion for communicating with your psychic self. And he does an amazing job of it.

The chapters flow very well except the last three. I might have been tempted to switch the order so that "Cleansing Yourself Of Pain And Negativity" came second to last simply because it is a very important lesson for anyone who wants to exercise their own abilities. And Mr. Wands makes it very clear that anyone can do what he does. In fact he encourages people to explore this part of themselves by offering simple things to do. He emphasizes the idea that all you have to do is pay attention.

I have over 20 years of working as a psychic both intuitive and in conjunction with the Tarot cards. Even I learned quite a bit from this gentle book that relies on anecdotes and compassion to relay a message of hope and communication. I highly recommend this book if you are even the slightest bit interested in what it takes to open up your own psychic self. Even if you don't care about that, the stories alone are worth the book. He also gives some excellent tips on how to avoid being scammed by a fake psychic.

3.0 out of 5 stars Easy to read...not meant to teach techniques., January 19, 2006

This review is from: The Psychic in You: Understand and Harness Your Natural Psychic Power (Paperback)

This book covers many stories and experiences. It is not an in depth teaching book in relation to 'how to' develop or practice your psychic ability. I found the title to be misleading. Great 'basic' book if you are looking to see if the psychic realm is somewhere you might be interested in. Did do two things for me....it helped in relieving a few fears and made me aware of the possible side effects of delving into the psychic world. Couldn't put it down, yet it left me unsatisfied and wanting more as my goal was to learn "how to". Barely touched on the "how to's".

This is an amazing book by a phenomenal psychic who takes the work of John Edward one step further. It's one of those rare books that you don't want to put down and when you're finished, you wish it would go on forever. Jeff Wands helps the reader become comfortable with the psychic world by relaying his knowledge in a very accessible way. You'll come away from this book with a better understanding of how to get a handle on your life. You'll also realize that the isolationist attitude that many of us have, is just not the way it really is. Once you get that, it makes life's burdens lighter, and the concept of developing one's psychic intuition is actually a very practical tool for self-improvement.

I was lucky enough to be in the audience during a taping of The Maury Povich Show and he came up to me and totally blew me away. There was just no way he could have known that my parents had recently passed away within 3 months of each other, and that they were concerned about their cat, whose name begins with an "S". Very recently I had a reading with Jeff, which was absolutely tremendous. The detail he went into and the accuracy of his psychic intuition is just astounding.

If you're looking to get your life on track, or just get to where you want to be sooner rather than later, you need to read this book and schedule a session with Jeffrey Wands. Even if it means waiting a year, it's well worth the wait. He can save you from lifetimes of going around in circles. It's also the kind of book you'll want to give to those you care about the most. Don't delay - BUY THIS BOOK!
