So You Want To Be A Medium
A Down to Earth Guide
by Rev. Rose Vanden Eynden

Are you fascinated by the spirit world? Wish you could communicate with loved ones on the Other Side? According to Spiritualist minister Rose Vanden Eynden, everyone possesses innate capabilities for spirit communication. Emphasizing the principles of modern Spiritualism, So You Want to Be a Medium? demonstrates how to enhance one's spiritual senses for working between worlds.

Through exercises involving meditation, breathing, dream work, symbols, and energy systems, the author teaches how to prepare one's mind and body for spiritual communication. Readers also learn about the many kinds of spirit guides and elemental energies, how to get in touch with them, and how to interpret their messages. Whether you're seeking to become a professional medium or simply interested in a closer connection to Creator, this fascinating guide to the spirit world can enrich your spiritual life-no matter what your religious background.

Rose will be coming to Progressive Spiritualist Church July 30 - August 1.
Watch for details!!
