Product Description

Teaches teens to develop and use their intuitive powers

• Includes quizzes, meditations, journal entries, popular quotes, and fun exercises to introduce teens to their intuitive powers • Combines both contemporary and ancient stories of spiritual and intuitive empowerment • By the author of The Thundering Years: Rituals and Sacred Wisdom for Teens, winner of the 2002 Independent Publisher Book Award for multicultural juvenile nonfiction

Teen Psychic offers teens a connection to both something greater than themselves and something within themselves. Drawing from a diverse group of wisdomkeepers-including Caroline Myss, Black Elk, Myron Eschowsky, and Chogyam Trungpa-Julie Tallard Johnson invites teens to walk a sacred path by accessing their intuitive powers and developing their psychic selves.

Combining the teachings of numerous traditions with activities-such as meditations, exercises, and quizzes-as well as her own insightful narrative, Julie Tallard Johnson provides teens with a fun, meaningful process to develop their own intuitive powers and shows how to apply those powers to their personal spiritual journey. Teens will learn to access intuition, listen to their body wisdom, identify their personal truths, learn the language of energy, protect themselves from harm, and apply what they learn to develop their emotional wisdom and define their intention for their newfound powers.

From Publishers Weekly
There was a time when young people were routinely taught how to develop their intuitive and spiritual powers, according to Tallard Johnson, a psychotherapist and mentor of young teens. This "ability to access inner wisdom" was once considered an essential part of an adolescent's schooling. Nowadays, such training seems to have fallen by the wayside. Ironically, with young people facing so many pressures and risks in modern Western culture, a mandatory course in developing a healthy inner guidance system is needed more than ever. Thankfully, Tallard Johnson is helping to fill the void. Her primary goal is to help teenagers listen to their true feelings, learn to read their own energy and become more adept at living a life that is congruent with their inner wisdom (aka intuition). It's hard to find fault with her ambitions or delivery. Drawing from an eclectic stew of wisdom (such as the Sufi tradition of breathing, the yoga Chakra system, Tibetan Buddhism and the I Ching), Tallard Johnson offers an excellent primer on connecting with the inner spirit. Designed like a workbook, every chapter includes compelling testimonials, folk tales, ancient teachings, practical exercises and journaling assignments. Tallard Johnson covers many core concerns of teenagers-how to become an individual, develop self-loving beliefs, recognize and overcome substance and emotional abuse, make decisions from the higher self, create healthy relationships and find a safe spiritual teacher. Don't be turned off by the seemingly trite title-this is a book of merit and depth.

From Booklist
Reviewed with James Van Praagh's Looking Beyond.

Gr. 8-12. Teens have a great fascination with the paranormal, and these books discuss the psychic and spiritual realms using situations and explanations geared to a young audience. Van Praagh, familiar from his television show, Beyond, homes in on the larger questions teens are most interested in (Why are we here? Can we transform our lives?) as well as particular ones (Are there spirit guides and soul mates?). His book distills a lot of information found in other self-help books, adding a patina of psychic principles, and he writes easily about such topics as incorporating intuition and meditation into one's life and ways to be true to oneself. Although his frequent references to pop culture occasionally sound condescending, they will draw in readers. Johnson covers much of the same material, though with more jargon, and her discussion of spiritual practices is more heavy duty. The first half of the book is devoted to working with the body's chakra system; the second focuses on the path of the psychic visionary. An extensive source list for teens wanting to continue their personal journey concludes. Ilene Cooper

Customer Reviews

This fabulous book is NOT JUST FOR TEENS
Teen Psychic is not just for teens! Many of us, who are now adults, were not taught how to listen to and act on our inner voice - our psychic voice. This book helps people learn how to do this, at any age. I teach a class where we focus on learning how to listen to your intuition in order to live a more fulfilling life. I refer to this book all the time for meditations, exercises, lessons, you name it. Thank you Julie Tallard Johnson for writing such a great reference book that is insightful, and easy to ready and understand. May we all find the ability to live our lives more intuitively and allow one another to be our truest self.

Great book!!
I love Teen Psychic. My life coach recommend it to me. If you are new to meditating/journaling. This book has several exercises for you to practice these abilities. I learn more about my intuition and wisdom body. I'm amazed at how our bodies gives us answers. I'm 23 years old but these book is also popular with older adults.
It was also interesting reading the stories written by young adults in the book and relating to them on several levels. Teen Psychic spoke to me and I'm sure it will to you too!! =)

Great Book
I read this book adn did the meditations inside it and i feel great. I used to be inconfident and in pain all the time. I founds out from reading this book that i was in pain because i had been living the way my parents wanted me to, instead of how i was meant to. I am now much more confident and i feel great! Thanks Julie!
