Publisher Description
A beloved psychic medium teaches us how to connect to Spirit and realize the most authentic version of ourselves in order to live more fully and love more deeply.
Mediumship, Travis Holp says, is like singing: we can all do it, but it comes more naturally to some. In this warm and inspiring guide, he invites us to open our hearts to the connectivity of the universe, become our own Spirit Guides, and realize we are never alone.
Glittering with humor and love, Travis shares his own story of growing up closeted in a conservative midwestern family. As a child playing with his grandmother’s Ouija board, he received messages that felt as natural to him as breathing, and yet he kept his extraordinary abilities to himself, lest he appear even more different. He spent difficult years searching for his purpose until, on a lark, he began doing tarot readings on TikTok, and he quickly recognized that the lessons he was receiving from Spirit were just as relevant for him as they were for his clients. When his social media following exploded, he embraced his role as a medium, and his life became meaningful in ways he never expected.
Along the way Travis teaches us how to:
Discover your authentic self by aligning with the synchronicities of the universe See Spirit as the love that connects everything and everyone Tap into the “internal GPS” that is your intuition Heal wounds by accessing the collective empathy of Spirit Allow Spirit to nudge you toward new channels of purposeGive and receive the pure, radiant love you deserveThrough stories and exercises, Travis opens us up to a new and expansive way of understanding our place in the world, helping us embrace our authenticity, overcome fear, welcome change, and live with real purpose. And on every page, as he leads us toward self-discovery and profound healing, his optimism and warmth remind us that we are all loved, and that a meaningful life is one filled with joy.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Holp debuts with an upbeat compendium of wisdom drawn from his work as a spiritual medium and his own path to self-acceptance. The author recounts growing up gay in a rigidly conservative Ohio town, and how coming out in his early teens allowed him to live more authentically ("When we show up as ourselves, right where we are, exactly as we are, without trying to fix, change, or run away from ourselves, the Universe meets us where we stand"). Other chapters use client readings to draw out such key lessons as the link between grief and a sense of purpose: Holp recalls watching a client realize she should pour her love for her late son into nursing, and notes "the struggles you've overcome become the road map that helps others find their ways." The author's experience as a medium lends the advice a gentle spirituality, though the book's strength lies in its perceptive takes on human nature, as when Holp discusses what it means to surrender or advises readers not to chase after their desires, but instead become the kind of person "who naturally attracts what we desire," after which "everything has a way of unfolding effortlessly." This should please the author's fans and win him some new ones.
