You Are a Medium: Discover Your Natural Abilities to Communicate with the Other Side

From the title of the book you would think that the majority of the book is about developing communitcation with the otherside. However, approximately the first 200 pages of this book contain history and samples of readings she has given to express how those on the otherside are also still learning from us. I was looking for a book that focused mainly on developing and strenghtening communication.I feel the development section did not provide enough of what I was hoping for.The development section of the book gives information on the "clairs" and basically provides a guided meditation which is repeated several times throughout the section, with changes to a section on some occasions, asking you to experience the "clairs". The exercises are mostly performed while going through a self-guided meditation. I agree that meditation is a great tool for enhancing spiritual growth and enhancing awareness for the more subtle world around us. She doesn't provide alot about exercising those senses outside of guided meditation. I have studied and practiced meditation, experienced guided meditations and received 500 hours hypnosis certification. Having experienced exercises quite similar I find you really have to pay attention to whether these experiences are coming from your minds creation, subconscious or genuine spirit communication.She does not go much into how spirit will validate what we are experiencing through meditation is actual communication. I also believe when we are looking for signs we have to be able to discern coincidences for valid signs. It is only my opinion that you have to have a bit of healthy skeptisism so when you do have a genuine validation you will realize what a blessing it is.Without going into detail, I have had and am having experiences that have validated something going on, on the other side, that is why I was drawn to start looking for a new book to help me strengthen this "unseen" relationship or relationships. I will use a couple of things I picked up from this section, but most of this I am already familiar.This may be the perfect book for others, it just was not what I was hoping it would be. I feel I may just need to get back to some exercises I have read in some previous books.

Overall, a great book. It's structured in a way that will help guide those who don't understand their abilities to a place where they can begin to decipher/interpret the messages they are either feeling, sensing, hearing, tasting, etc. The exercises are tailored in a way that individual strengths can be improved with practice. I had a most unusual experience while reading Sherrie's book last summer. I noticed that about half way through this book, the pages seemed to glow around the circumference. They took on an aura of pinkish lavender! I thought maybe it was eye strain, so I took out my contacts...but still the lavender glow continues when I pick up this book. 😀 This book is packed with Sherrie's life experiences which will enable readers to relate to and apply rock-solid best practices for mediumship development. A great book for serious students!PS: Sherrie, if you're reading this, in reference to your section on Walt Disney: my mother used to play with Walt Disney's nephew in Kansas City, MO when she was a young girl in the 30's-40's. He lived but a few blocks away from her, and she frequently would sneak off (against her mother's wishes) to go play with him. Apparently, he was quite the handful, ornery, and had a dirty mouth at a young age (my grandmother attested to that as well). 🤣

I have to say that when I bought this book, it was a bit of a lark. I lost my father this year and have felt his presence around me since. This book is a great guide to anyone that wants to learn to communicate with loved ones. I also purchased both the "Discover your Psychic Type" and this one. I read this one over a period of a month and am still reading the other one.You can do the step by step exercises as Sherrie suggests and I incorporate them along with my yoga practice. Yoga is a whole body prayer and very meditative so at the end of my practice, I have been spending time focusing on the exercises Sherrie gives. This is a practice, as well and both seem to go together for me anyway.I have had several breakthroughs with moments of visions and dreams that were very positive. I started with the other book to help me with my Tarot readings and there has been a wonderful opening.Several notes to anyone that wants to learn about this practice. Get the hard copy of the book not the kindle. You may end up writing and marking the pages as this will be a textbook if you are serious. Also, do not worry about the test for your Medium type. You may find you are one or part of all. Sherrie makes that clear in the back of the book. I had abilities in all areas.If you just want to explore and read a fascinating book with an open mind I think you will find this book amazing. Sherrie is a wonderful teacher. She has a special connecting ability to the reader which is no surprise as she to connects to the spiritual realm. Her explanations, her methods and spirituality are very understandable way no matter what your beliefs are.

I am just reading your book and I would just like to say thank you for your book. I see that a lot of thought has gone into the book with regards to expressing the particular ways one receives messages by way of mental emotional physical mediumship etc. I also enjoy the fact that you always emphasise opening up to the divine first. The book is from the heart and it comes across as a sharing to heal as well as to inform those who are not fully embodied into their gifts. After reading this book I not only know I am a medium, I now accept I am. A big thank you again for your time. Praise You

Although I didn't resonate with everything in this book, 'You Are A Medium' offers some amazing exercises/meditations to help you develop and helps you to identify your mediumship type eg; The Healers - Emotional Intuitives; The Knowers - Mental Intuitives; The Manifesters - Physical Intuitives and The Seers - Spiritual Intuitives. Over all, well worth the purchase.

Good interesting book, with some things which made a lot of sense . This book is only for people who have medium experience really as it will only mean something to them. For me it was great and helped me understand things a lot better.

Great Book Well Packed Quick Delivery Brilliant Thanxs

Excellent book. highly recommended. Prompt efficient service, excellent condition, prompt arrival. Anyone interested in this should read this for development

If I could give this book a negative zero I would, wasted money for a book that is just deceiving to the title. It is 6 months and I cannot get my money back because the book is sooo boring that I cannot finish it, I am losing my mind. I wil just dump the book for donation. I thought it was just me having a hard time to finish the book until I read all the other reviews....this book by Sherrie Dillard will frustrate you trying to read it..If you are looking for a great book I recommend James van Prag talking to heaven.

I wanted to like this. The cover and title are so inviting, but...so deceiving. While I normally read with intense enthusiasm, this book has me trying to force myself to finish it, in case I'm missing something. It's incredibly basic, information is of a surface and superficial nature, meaning it can easily be found by googling, nothing new and her accounts of her client sessions are very impersonal. Doesn't dig into any topic or story, simply "touches" on topics, as if crossing them off a check-list, I felt nothing. You know how when you watch Long Island Medium and you "feel" how she's impacted a grieving person's life? You can't help but to be moved by the healing she just facilitated and the feelings of hope are so overwhelming, even though we don't know these folks, you can't help but cry for the life-transforming event that they've just encountered. Well nothing of those emotions and feelings are felt in this book. No hope, no inspiration....no feelings of awesomeness are transmitted. A reader that is looking into this book has probably had some form of spiritual experience and has most likely read other books. If anything, this could be okay for one of those 1st books, but for anyone even remotely started along a spiritual journey, looking to elaborate on the topic so that they can grow, this leaves much to be desired.

I am very disappointed with this book. I read all the good reviews and was hopeful. 90% of this book is the authors readings she has done for people. Exercises with obtaining your medium abilities starts at page 213- 244. With the title you ARE a medium I thought it would be more about learning the required skills a person naturally has to connect with the other side. She does a good job with determining what type of medium you naturally are.

This book was so much more than I expected. Initially I was upset that the test was so far back in the book, and that there were less meditation writings than her first publication; however, the second part of the book was so much more rewarding than the test to determine your medium type. It delved deep into life lessons our soul may be experiencing, and gave so much valuable and practical insight into how I looked at the circumstances I have faced in my life. I personally highlighted this book more than any textbook I have ever purchased for my University degree. I was thoroughly impressed by this read and I STRONGLY recommend it to those who actually do desire to develop their mediumship skills, or who are looking to understand the spiritual nature of spirits, and the other side. Amazing, truly amazing.

A lot of the information here backs up what I have read in similar books. More detail, however, is given over to meditating and becoming aware of details sent from those who have passed over. She also helps you to identify the reader's medium "type".

This book came to me at a time when I really needed the message . It's a spiritual message that helps me to face life's difficult issues by putting me in touch with my spiritual self. Time will tell if I will be able to contact those who have passed but I haven't finished the book yet. I believe I will.

The author is well versed in the subject matter which keeps the reader captivated until the last page. The documentation of people's and personal experiences enhances the process and supports the subject matter. Well done.

I recommend this book to anyone who is wanting to get involved in developing the mediumistic abilities and who want to learn to communicate with spirit. Believe me it takes a lot of time and practice. Really all the book is telling you is to sit still and focus on your emotions if you are an emotional medium to tell the difference between your and the ones spirit is sending you.

The book is a good one for anyone interested in what a medium does. It is warmly written and engaging. An easy read and so delightfully surprising with antidotes from the author's experience.

I absolutely love and resonate with this book. In fact I'm finding it difficult to put the book down. Sherrie Dillard did an excellent job explaining everything thing in detail and examples. Love it!
