Product Description

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.

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.

Raymond A. Moody, M.D., Ph.Dauthor of Life After Life: The Investigation of a Phenomenon -- Survival of Bodily DeathThe Psychic in You is a lucid and memorable chronicle of the life and work of a medium, as perceived by the medium himself. I greatly enjoyed reading this fascinating book, which will be very useful to anyone who is trying to make sense of the baffling realm of psychic phenomena. The Psychic in You is an excellent source and introduction to study the human interface between this world and the spirit world.

Making the inaccessible accessible
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.

Easy to read...not meant to teach techniques.
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".

a compelling read
All of us have psychic capabilities...all we have to do is develop them. Jeffrey A. Wands, one of the most successful and acclaimed psychics in the country, offers his story of developing his abilities and guidance for readers to develop their own. "The Psychic In You" is a down to earth account of otherworldly communications. It is a very readable and interesting book that will captivate and inspire.

By witnessing how Wands came to develop his skills, readers will learn to understand and harness their natural psychic powers. It all begins with recognizing the signs you may be overlooking, learning the language of spirits, and learning to believe what you are seeing, hearing, and even smelling. Wands offers help in the matters of being afraid of the dead, facing criticism, and cleansing yourself of negativity. He shares a meditation that helped him in his learning process and offers suggestions on developing your skills through analyzing your dreams, visualizing, practicing psychometry, and practicing contacting the dead. "Practice makes psychic!"

Throughout the book Wands tells his story in autobiographical form, through intriguing anecdotes in efforts to emphasize the points he is making to help the reader develop his or her psychic side. It is fascinating reading as the author shares his personal tales of meeting his spirit guides, knowing when things were going to happen, learning to keep quiet about his feelings and eventually coming into his own and truly opening up to the spirits.

Even if readers do not wish to develop their own abilities, "The Psychic in You" is a compelling read. If a reader is already honing their skills he or she will find comfort in seeing that this acclaimed medium has gone through many of the same struggles. I recommend this book to anyone even remotely interested in psychic abilities, and from the popularity of this topic in recent years; I suspect that this recommendation applies to a very large number of readers.
