Whitsundays-based spiritualist and author Marion Weatherburn is preparing to launch her second book, ‘Wired Not Weird’, this Sunday at the Whitsunday Sailing Club.
Describing herself as a fourth-generation spiritualist, Marion has completed nearly 7,000 readings over 37 years and her new book, ‘Wired Not Weird’, is both memoir and manual.
“This book is a spiritual handbook. It teaches people how to hear, how to listen, and how to know, so they can connect with their own guides and loved ones,” explained Marion.
The new book focuses on empowering people to develop their own spiritual awareness. It outlines exercises like her unique ‘colours, shapes and numbers’ method to help people distinguish messages from mere thoughts.
“It's something that I've developed over many years to help people realise what part of their brain they're hearing messages in,” she said.
“Generally for most people, 85 per cent of what goes into their brain is a thought. The other 15 per cent of what goes into their brain is a message from a guide or a message from a loved one.”
Marion helps people understand the difference between a thought and a message.
Her belief is that everyone can access their spiritual guidance.
“I’d love to put psychics and mediums out of work,” she laughed.
“Not because I don’t believe in the gift but because I want people to feel it for themselves. That’s what the book helps people do.”
“Psychologists work on a mind level. I work on a soul level,” she said.
In addition to the launch event at the Sailing Club, Marion will speak at the Proserpine, Cannonvale and Bowen libraries, and at the Beach Book Boutique in Airlie Beach.
