Chanda Parkinsons diverse background and passions include the arts and music, professional work in the nonprofit sector, owning and operating several businesses, volunteering as a social justice and human rights advocate, and mothering three children. An early life interest in Christian theological studies blossomed and expanded to include Eastern Philosophies tied to Buddhism and Taoism, Metaphysical and Esoteric studies, and Celtic Shamanic Practices, which she continues to devour with great fervor. She has been a student of psychic development for more than twenty years. Chanda has been a professional psychic intuitive, tarot practitioner, esoteric astrologist, and spiritual teacher for more than fifteen years. She holds a tremendous desire to contribute through meaningful work in the world. Her greatest joy is witnessing others discovering and stepping into their own natural spiritual gifts. Meditations for Psychic Development is her first published book.

Dedication
This book is dedicated to all the followers of the spirit realm. It takes courage, presence, and discipline to maintain a sense of wonder in a chaotic and demanding world. I honor you with this work. To all of my beautifully talented women blood and bone ancestors who did not get to express themselves freely, I express your voices through my own because you could not. Finally, to my children, who sang my soul awake the moment they were born. No matter the naysayers, stay true to yourself always.

Acknowledgments
Thank you to my wonderful children Jacob, Addi, and Mia for giving up precious time with me over the months it took me to write this, and for supporting me with your love and ongoing encouragement. My deepest gratitude goes out to my partner, Troy, for carrying more of the weight with our household and children while simultaneously being both my harshest critic and my biggest fan. You have put up with my self-doubt while repeatedly pushing me to stretch out of my own comfort zones. To my dearest friends who listened while I endlessly spoke about this project, you know who you are and I am forever grateful. To my clients over the years: you are the reason this book happened at all. Thank you for inspiring me daily. My greatest joy is seeing you open doors to your own psychic abilities, self-awareness, and the beautiful part you play in making this world a better place. I am perpetually in awe of how gifted you all are, and honored I get to be included on your journeys. Finally, many thanks to the publishing team at Llewellyn. Your wisdom provided beautiful shape to all the material I presented from the beginning. I am so thankful for your willingness to work with a first-time author.
Foreword
If youve picked up this book, youre about to embark on an exciting, sometimes frustrating, but very rewarding journey. Having an interest in psychic development is a natural part of being human. I remember my own beginnings, which I document in my 2009 book, Bridge to the Afterlife .
It was more than twenty years ago, I was going to college in Boston and after two unexpected deaths, I felt a calling to explore all things psychic and mediumship. I read numerous books, attended development circles, and slowly over time, began sharing my gifts as a medium with people from all walks of life.
Over the years, Ive learned that one of the best ways to develop your psychic abilities is by implementing a meditation practice. Meditation is an ancient technique that receives a lot of buzz about how to do it, when to do it, why to do it. Ultimately, it is a sacred experience of quieting oneself and expanding ones senses for peace, tranquility, and new insight.
But Im not going to lie. Meditation isnt easy for me. I still come up with a number of reasons not to do it.
