Seeing the Dead, Talking with Spirits

NEW AGE / SPIRITUALITY "An exciting personal account of an apprenticeship with the spirits. Alexandra Leclere is wonderfully candid about how to avoid teachers who take our power away, to practice discernment in dealing with psychic energies, and to walk between the worlds in balance and with humor." --Robert Moss, author of The Dreamer's Book of the Dead and Dreamways of the Iroquois How difficult is it to accept that you are clairvoyant? For television producer Alexandra Leclere, the possibility was something she never expected to encounter. Her first contact with the spirit world began after a successful alternative healing experience allowed her to avoid invasive surgery, inspiring her to research various forms of spiritual healing with the idea of producing a television special on the subject. But at one gathering of healers and shamans she was shocked to find that she was the only one who could see the spirit of a deceased woman who was being honored there--a sign that marked the beginning of a remarkable personal odyssey into the world of shamanic healing, where she discovered that she herself was an unusually gifted healer. Despite the extraordinary powers of clairaudience, clairsentience, and clairvoyance that were awakened through her work with the spirit world, Alexandra Leclere learned that the greatest gift she received from her shamanic awakening was her 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 relationship with the spirit world. Alexandra Leclere's story provides a roadmap for this journey. ALEXANDRA LECLERE was the president of an international television production and multimedia firm for more than seventeen years before discovering her shamanic vocation. She works internationally with clients, and she gives sessions at the Oaks Healing Center in New Rochelle, New York.
