    Introduction

    About this book

    Both of us have grown up with psychic and spiritual experiences punctuating our childhood and teenage years. We have actively sought to develop our skills and work in the areas of psychic readings, mediumship, healing, and rescue work.

    A series of synchronicities led to our paths crossing in 2002, and we quickly progressed to working together in circle on a weekly basis. Supported by the other wonderful members of our group, we found that our work together was both powerful and profound. We are both natural teachers and we love to teach and encourage others to find their spiritual paths and develop their personal skills.

    When we talk to people about what we do most show some degree of interest. Often it is only out of politeness, which is fine. However, many people have a fascination with the unknown, and lots of people have had some unexplained phenomena or experience in their lives. There are also large numbers of individuals who do not follow a religious doctrine, for whatever reason but feel, or would like to believe, that there is more to life than the physical world around us. We are often asked ‘I want to find out more but where do I start?’ Well, start here.

    We believe that any degree of personal, spiritual and psychic development can help a person to change their life for the better. You can understand yourself and those around you on new levels, develop your intuition, help yourself and others through difficult times, learn to engage with the energy of living and, with experience, help to bring things about that will improve the world around you, as an individual, for your family and for the larger community.

    So we thought that we would pool our knowledge in order to pass something on to others and help them to begin their journey of discovery. This book covers the fundamentals of the basic subjects. It will help you to build your knowledge and skills from the ground up, as well as finding the subjects that you are most interested in and the skills that come naturally to you.

    While you could go straight to any chapter that interests you, this book is designed to be read from the beginning. This will give you a gradual understanding of all of the subjects, each chapter building on the previous one. We begin with what we class as the absolutely essential topics of protection, opening, grounding and meditation. We then move on to auras and chakras which will help you to understand the ‘energy’ that we refer to throughout. These are the foundations and even if you go no further than these you will have a very useful understanding and skill set that will make a difference to your life, if you allow it to. The subsequent chapters will serve as an introduction to a variety of subjects for you to explore.

    We don’t pretend to have all the answers, and you may not agree with some of our beliefs. That is fine. We would rather you use this as a stepping stone to discovering and developing not only your skills but your own belief structure and philosophy on life. We both believe that this path can be for everyone, not just the chosen few. We want to make spiritual and psychic development accessible and down to earth whilst acknowledging its awesome and exciting nature.

    Just to be clear

    By writing this book we do not wish to portray ourselves as the definitive experts. We are the first to admit that we still learn something new every day. Nor are we saying that our beliefs or opinions are the right and only way. They are simply ours and they may change in time, after all, who says you have to hold the same ideas forever? As with all books of this nature, some parts of it will resonate with you more strongly than others. However, even the parts that do not resonate as much will provide a base of knowledge that will help you to develop your own belief system. We firmly believe that this is one of the most important things that you can do on your spiritual path, whilst maintaining an open mind and allowing others their own personal beliefs without judgement. We don’t believe that there is a right or wrong way, just lots of different ways.

    Additionally, we do not demand that spirit communicate with us, nor do we worship the devil! We believe in a creative, divine force and are happy for everyone who shares this concept to call that force whatever they wish. Our motto is and always has been, ‘In love and light, always’.

    This isn’t a book about our philosophy or belief system. There would always be something we disagreed on to some degree, making a joint venture of that nature remarkably difficult. Although there will be an element of our beliefs that come across, this book is a guide, a workbook to help you get started in finding your path. Our beliefs, whilst possibly of interest to some, are kind of irrelevant in this context.

    Psychic vs spiritual development

    It’s important to understand that psychic and spiritual development are different concepts. Being psychic basically means that you can ‘read’ a person through their energy field. In our case, working on a spiritual basis, or mediumistically, means that you connect with Spirit, such as a Guide or loved one who has passed over, who help to pass on messages or do work on this plane of existence. Spiritual development also involves developing your own thoughts on the different levels of existence and all aspects of life and physical death, our reason for being and our interactions with others.

    It is possible for a person to be ‘psychic’ but not to develop spiritually and sometimes this can lead to their work being ego-centred. However, when you develop spiritually, you connect with people on a deeper level, in a more empathic way. Your work is heart-centred. You will also find that you naturally develop psychically at the same time.

    We believe that the best way to approach this type of work is from a spiritual direction whilst actively seeking to develop psychically at the same time. By doing this we bring harmony and balance into our lives as we integrate all aspects of our being and become whole again. As this happens we see the world, other people and our relationships on every level in a different light, it opens our eyes and our souls. It causes us to remember who we really are and why we are here. All in all, we believe that it makes the world a nicer place to be.

    How this book could change your life

    Everyone comes to this type of work from a different background and for different reasons. Some people are never ready for this type of work in their current lifetime and that’s fine. When Helen first started going along to workshops and courses she went mostly on her own. This was partly because few of her friends expressed an interest in attending, but also because it meant that there would be no one with her who would judge her.

    Seeking out this type of development will change you, but it will be a positive change. You will become more sensitive, see the world differently, be more touched by the natural world and feel more at one with life. In a strange paradox, whilst feeling more a part of life, you may also feel more detached from your earthly experiences. There are reasons for this but for now, go with the flow, it’s an enjoyable and fulfilling ride. Bear in mind that those around you who fear change may challenge you. This could be for a number of reasons, their own fear and doubts, or the fact that they care and worry about you. Your true friends will accept and support you without judgement.

    You will also meet many wonderful people on this journey who will inspire, encourage and uplift you and who you will feel incredibly privileged to encounter. Some you will only meet in passing, others you may walk with on your path. However brief this time together may be you’ll always learn something as a result and should always count this time as a blessing. We have met some truly amazing people along the way. You don’t have to travel to foreign lands or seek out gurus, they’re all around just waiting for the right time for your paths to cross. Keep an open mind and an open heart and accept all that the universe is ready to give you, you’ll be amazed at the seeming coincidences that will occur.

    We hope that your journey is as exciting, rewarding and fulfilling as ours have been.

    In Love and Light Always,

    Helen and Diane

    Before you start

    Some really important stuff

    There are only two absolute rules that we insist on when working in this way.

    1) Do not mix your spirits

    In other words, no alcohol, or other mind-altering substances for that matter! Being under the influence whilst working affects your ability and judgement. It also lowers your energy vibrations and your defences as well as your inhibitions. This can leave you and others around you open to less positive energies or influences. This is non-negotiable as far as we’re concerned.

    2) Stay Positive

    This is extremely important. Positive energy is essential when working. Although working with spirit must be taken seriously, it can also be fun and indeed laughter can help to raise the energy vibrations. If you feel negative, depressed or simply under the weather, take a break and do something else instead. You will be told how to bring yourself out of a meditation should you feel the need, and if you ever feel worried or uncomfortable during any work with Spirit, stop, ground yourself, request extra protection to be placed around you and if necessary take a break. If you feel uncomfortable while working in a group and others appear to be fine, you must still mention it. It would be wise, as a group, to change the subject for a few minutes or to lighten the mood a little before proceeding. If necessary, close down, ground and finish the session. You can always repeat the exercise another time. Put some music on, have a laugh, make some tea and eat chocolate biscuits. No one should ever feel negative or uncomfortable while working with Spirit and you should always feel confident enough within the group to voice your concerns and have them accepted by all. It is important as a group that you always adhere to this rule.

    It is also essential that you read the sections on protection and grounding first and do not attempt anything until you are happy with using the techniques.

    Working with others

    You may be happy reading this book and having a go at the exercises on your own, or at least with a friend. (You will need another person for some of the work.) However, working with others is not only rewarding, but when a group of people work together
