Publisher Description
A twist of fate changed the life of author Tiffany Hopkins forever: in the midst of her fast-paced career in the big city, she unexpectedly inherited a cottage in America's oldest intentional Spiritualist community. The little town of Lily Dale in upstate New York is wholly comprised of people who believe in talking to the dead, drawing an average of 20,000 tourists every year. These seekers come to experience the practice of spirit communication: booking séances, meeting one-on-one with mediums, and fully immersing themselves in the otherworldly atmosphere of this rare and wonderful town. After learning how to be a medium, Hopkins began focusing on normalizing talking to the dead, getting the word out about the practice of embodied mediumship, the art of connecting with the self to hear from the other side, which offers potent expansion to anyone willing to be curious about the world beyond the veil.
Beyond encourages readers to increase their powers of empathy, intuition, and imagination to inspire creativity, heal body and mind, and even create community and find their way to like-minded souls. In addition to a step-by-step guide to the basics of mediumship, Hopkins includes prompts and exercises for developing skills like discernment and boundaries, assuming trance consciousness to create in a state of "flow," and working with others in collaborative circles to pool ideas and receive more nuanced feedback from the universe. Readers will come away with a fresh appreciation for this world--both physical and metaphysical--and an exciting new way to approach their life by strengthening all six of their senses.

Loved this look beyond the veil
Really just a beautiful book for anyone who has any interest in the world of mediumship. Whether you’re on a journey to become a medium or just want to know more about the practice, Beyond should absolutely be on your TBR. I found this book to have a great blend of history, personal anecdotes, and practical information. Many of the exercises focus on proper grounding and boundary setting, which honestly are so helpful and important beyond just mediumship.
Beyond really exceeded my expectations in terms of the scope that was covered. I am fascinated by the practice of mediumship and deeply believe that there is so much more going on around us than what is widely accepted. This was the perfect read for me to further explore that spiritual path. I love that Hopkins explores mediumship as something that goes well beyond simply connecting to loved ones that have passed. Through her experience, open minded perspective, and conversational writing style, she makes some really profound insights very accessible. This is not just a guide for selecting a medium or becoming one yourself. It’s about connecting more deeply to the energy within yourself and the world around you.
The writing style is a refreshingly candid and sincere glimpse in the work of mediumship, including the positive and challenging aspects of the journey and profession. Hopkins is so thoughtful, genuine and well-considered. You can tell that she really wants to provide her readers with something meaningful, helpful and honest.
I highly recommend this book to anyone who believes that there is more to our spiritual and physical existence. Beyond offers a fantastic means to explore the unseen realms of energy and connection. The book just gets better and better as you keep reading. It also contains an incredible trove of resources. Whether you’re seeking out a medium, want to become one, or just want insight into the mediumship without the intention of engaging, it’s worth a read!
