The Seance: Healing Messages from Beyond (Former Title: Seance: A Guide for the Living) [Paperback]

Suzane Northrop (Author), Kate McLoughlin (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: September 1, 1995

A seance is a second chance to say I love you or goodbye.

A seance with Suzane Northrop is nothing like those portrayed in the movies. There are no raps, no flickering candles, no moving tables.  But you do sit in a circle, and once there, you may not leave.  Then, with her eyes closed, Suzane begins to speak.  She brings messages from the dead. She offers hope. And she changes lives.

In this groundbreaking book, Suzane makes you an eyewitness to seances where sorrow and anger turn to love and forgiveness. You will read the testimonies of people who have heard from those on the other side.  You will discover dramatic truths that will take you by surprise...whether you believe or not.  And if you choose, you will learn how to communicate with the spirit world, discovering for yourself the inner peace that comes with the knowledge that death is not the end.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

"This book is a travel guide, a detective story, and a how-to manual. It is a book about death and a book about life. . . It is not my job or my place to convince you of what I believe -- that we do not die. . . You need only have an inquiring mind, open to the possibilities of life ... "
-- Suzane Northrop

You will not just discover your departed loved ones.

You will discover yourself. . . healed, forgiven, transformed, unafraid of death or life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Keeps it simple, September 15, 2000

I have had the pleasure of seeing Ms Northrop in a seminar. She keeps her information very simple and direct both in person as well as in her book. She states outright that she is not a stigma of any kind. She just happens to be sensitive to certain vibrations. Sometimes with any of the new age work, I feel the author can get carried away with descriptions, and explaining contact can get exaggerated, you won't find that with Suzane in person or in this book The Seance. She explains how she recognized her gift as well as explaining in simple language what it is she feels, hears, and sees when communicating with those that have crossed over. (so this book is idea if you think you may also be having contact from loved ones who have passed) There is also a section with something called Bench Exercises where Suzane sets up the scene so that you can also contact your loved ones that have passed...safely. (so again if you would like to learn how to recognize when your loved ones are trying to communicate, you can find it here) This book makes a great gift to send to someone that has lost someone they love. I have done that several times with loads of appreciation that always follows.

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally inspirational!, December 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Seance: Healing Messages from Beyond (Former Title: Seance: A Guide for the Living) (Paperback)

I have heard Susan Northrop on our local radio station many times and I couldn't figure out what she was all about and why people were so obsessed with her; however, my mother, who is very young, suddenly became terminally ill and is enduring a slow death. This book has helped me understand and start to accept what has happened. Northrop gives a powerful portrayal of what happens to our inner selves when we pass over to the "other side" and I have to say, while I am not sure in how much I actually believe, I do know that my mother will be fine where she is going and will no longer feel any pain and suffering. This book certainly makes you think about things in a different light. Reading abour her experiences has certainly helped with my own healing process and I plan on attending one of her seminars when she is back in CT. Thank you Susan for helping me bring closure to my many fears and questions.

5.0 out of 5 stars Comforting, enlightening and healing, February 1, 1999

Several years ago I had the extraordinary luck to happen upon this book. While I have always had the idea that life does not end with death, I did not truly believe. This book led me inside myself, outside the obvious, and gave me the grace to accept the cycle of life. I have sent several copies to friends who have lost loved ones, and they feel, as I do, a tremendous peace upon finishing the last page. Truly a must read.
