It gives me great pleasure to be able to present these teachings through my good friend and colleague Martelo - a wonderful, extraordinary medium. I know how difficult it has been while writing this book, having disturbance with his vision, so I am therefore sympathetic for him in the way he has kept to his bargain in letting me bring the knowledge of the afterlife to be installed in print. I hope he may be able to finish this documentary without having any disabling moments. The Hierarchy on a higher plane is sending healing rays to him at this moment. I know Martelo, being an initiate of the fifth degree, will come through. We have been close together for a long time and know each other very well indeed. I would like to finish this on a better note if possible. Don't give up because you think nothing is happening, you may get a surprise out of the blue which will prepare you for the next step ahead, and see what we all can learn in the process. Once again, I am delighted to be able to be asked to come to the Earth plane for a short period. Always remember you are never alone, even in the silence in which we dwell. Waiting for the right time and the right person to communicate with us is why we do not rush in when we see someone aspiring; we wait and have patience until the time is right.

A comprehensive (but fun and easy-to-use) guide to accessing spirit guides, from an accomplished medium. Having a relationship with your spirit guides is common in spiritual circles--whether those are your ancestors, power animals, or just entities from the beyond. These could be the voices of the departed, but they could also be earth spirits or just an entity from a place you haven't been yet. Whatever the source, veteran medium Catharine Allan guides readers through the question of what it means to speak to spirits, how to do it, and how to honor and protect your relationship with their powerful energies.

We all have questions about our lives, our souls, and loved ones who have passed on. Now we can find the answers.

In "Heaven and Earth," world-renowned spiritual medium and bestselling author James Van Praagh reveals the techniques that anyone can use to contact "the other side." Combining his own experiences with the testimony of others who have been touched by their spirit guides, Van Praagh encourages us to embark on our own journey of discovery, teaching us to

" recognize and listen to our own inner voices

alter our awareness to make contact with the

spirits of the departed

interpret our dreams as messages from beyond

use our inherent psychic gifts to help and heal others "

Most of us go through life without developing the wonderful, natural, God-given abilities inherent in all of us. In "Heaven and Earth," James Van Praagh gives us the tools to bring them to life.
