{"product_id":"9781933665559","title":"Consulting Spirit: A Doctor's Experience with Practical Mediumship","description":"One morning during a busy clinic my dead grandfather dropped in for a chat... \u003cp\u003eThis sent me off on a journey: a mad dash through territory populated by mediums, psychics, poltergeists, and ghost hunters. Along the way I met some fascinating and often strange people. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLet me take you with me as I travel through the hinterland of what we touchingly call reality. I’ll introduce you to some of the people and beings I met on my journey. You’ll get the inside story, the nuts and bolts of how someone like me can train to become a medium. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Ian D. Rubenstein is a U.K. doctor who works in Enfield, North London. Since training as a medium, he has attempted to use the mediumistic skills he has learned in his medical work as a primary care physician.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“CONSULTING SPIRIT tells a fascinating story about a self-described ‘skeptical physician’ who found himself becoming a medium. Dr. Ian D. Rubenstein, the author, put his newly discovered skills to practical use in his practice of medicine, and this is what makes the book unique. Dr. Rubenstein found a way to make contact ‘with the realm of Spirit,’ and provides a path for ‘practical mediumship’ that his readers will find absorbing and provocative.” --Stanley Krippner, Ph.D., co-author, “Demystifying Shamans and Their World” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“A remarkable story, told with good humor and an engaging touch of bewilderment at the workings of the ‘spirit world’ into which the author found himself unwittingly plunged. Despite his light-hearted approach, he has a serious message to convey--that, as he puts it, ‘somewhere along the way, modern medicine has missed a trick or two.’ I found the book as instructive as it was enjoyable, and cannot recommend it too highly.”--Guy Lyon Playfair, author of “The Indefinite Boundary” \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Ian Rubenstein is an ideal narrator as he takes us through his own personal story of exploring the paranormal, which he tells in a warm and informal way. He is infectiously curious, albeit a skeptic and a doctor who readily admits he does not know the answers but is keen to find them out. His lesson to us all? Keep an open mind.” --Sarah Hartley, Mail on Sunday\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Anomalist Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47060862402800,"sku":"9781933665559","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781933665559_p0.jpg?v=1763641222","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781933665559","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
