As you continue to practice, you will begin to feel the guide as an energy presence that is different from yours. When a guide works with you for the first time, it is generally a very subtle experience. Nevertheless, you'll probably feel energized, focused, and filled with well-being during and after the experience. |

There is another way to communicate with the spirit world: It's called a séance, and it's probably different from what you might expect. |

If you're like most kids, you probably remember participating in a séance, maybe at a sleepover or a Halloween party. Everyone probably sat in a circle, held hands, and closed their eyes (except to peek). Then the leader would rattle off some hocus-pocus and you all waited for something spooky to happen. Of course, everyone probably scattered in sheer fright within secondsway too soon for a visitor to appear. |

As adults, most people still conjure up this image when they think of communicating with spirits. But actual séances are not the norm anymore; they've gone the way of most of the Spiritualist activities that started in the mid-1800s. New methods, which we'll discuss later in this chapter, have become more popular today. For now, let's look at the séance's illustrious past. |
