By John Perkins and Alexandra Leclere

Book Overview

Recounts one woman's discovery of her ability to heal through contact with spirits and reveals how others can awaken this same gift in their own lives * Explains how reconnecting with our inner sense of joy is the first step in healing * Shows how to rid our life of the traumas from the past that hinder our spiritual development, including unresolved traumas from past lives * Provides a roadmap that others can use for rediscovering their own connections to the spirit world Like many others who have discovered that they have a healing vocation, Alexandra Leclere began meeting with other healers and shamans to learn how to put her gift to use. At one of these gatherings she was shocked to find that she was the only one who could see the spirit of a deceased woman that was being honored there--a sign that marked the beginning of a remarkable adventure that taught her how to use her gift for healing herself and others. Despite the extraordinary powers of clairsentience and clairvoyance revealed to her through her work with the spirit world, Alexandra Leclere shows that the greatest gift she has received since her shamanic awakening is the ability to experience unconditional joy. Often the pain caused by unresolved psychological traumas from the past--including past lives--is the key obstacle restricting access to the powers offered by the spirits. The first step in healing requires reconnecting with the joy that resides within us. Once this connection has been established, we are all capable of restoring our connection to the spirit world. Alexandra Leclere's story provides a roadmap for finding our way back.

Fascinating, Inspiring, Compelling!

A lesson in how to bring joy (and spirits) into one's life. This autobiographical book sometimes reads like a journal with much detail, but I feel that is part of its charm. I found this book to be amazingly candid and insightful. My sense is that the author wanted to take the reader down as many carefully described paths as possible to explain how and why she ended up where she did. Given where Leclere started--as a TV producer--and where she eventually found herself--a clairvoyant and healer--I felt that the journalistic details were necessary. Afterall, it isn't every suburban soccer mom who finds herself participating in Native American sweat lodges or pursuing four-day vision quests alone in the wilderness without food or water. As a suburban soccer mom, I was happy for the lengthy narrative of how she got there. I was also inspired by her journey. I found Leclere's caveat about being wary of giving away too much of one's power very important no matter what one's quest is. This book is extremely compelling, and I hope that Leclere writes many more. I will definitely look for one of her workshops!

Fun Read, but Not a HOW TO Book at all!

I enjoyed the author's account of her spiritual path and how she opened up. But I also thought it was more of a "how to" or had ways to open up more for the reader. It is not, it is totally her autobiography. Now, I do not have a problem with that at all and did find her story fascinating BUT the blurb about the book leads one to believe that it has more methods and ways to learn than it does. That was my only complaint, I just wish it had more tips for the reader on development and expanding. The author is obviously a very gifted healer and medium and I look forward to any more books. I bet she does a great workshop!

An inspiring personal roadmap

A truly inspiring book, which, through the author's personal example, will invigorate and guide your courage to find your own spiritual path. Alexandra's story is offered as a roadmap, a starting point for you to live your own. This is a book to read and re-read along your life.

How spirit contact changed her life

Alexandra Leclere's SEEING THE DEAD, TALKING WITH SPIRITS: SHAMANIC HEALING THROUGH CONTACT WITH THE SPIRIT WORLD tells of one woman's discovery of her ability to heal through spirit contact. Alexandra Leclere was a TV producer, not a psychic, when she discovered her talent after an alternative healing session. Her interest in and research on spiritual healing brought her into contact with shamans and healers and brought with it the discovery that she could see spirits. A fine first-person account of how these revelations changed her life.
