The book
Every answer, gathered in one place
For years, people from all over the world have brought their questions to Chen during the weekly Ask Chen live sessions. Spirit guides, protection, entities, past lives, grief, money, relationships and the changing world around us. No question has ever been too simple, too complicated or too unusual.
This book brings his answers together, along with the teachings from my original 2012 book, Chen’s Spiritual and Psychic Teachings. Chen speaks directly to you throughout, warm, practical and often very funny, and I share my own story and the practices I use every day in notes along the way.
The eBook is the complete book as a 254 page PDF, emailed to you the moment you check out. Read it on a phone, tablet or computer. £7.99 (approx $11 USD).
How it all started
From a haunted house to a spirit guide called Chen
Until I was 35 I had never believed a spiritual dimension existed. Then, in 2003, Jayne and I moved into a house in Wiltshire where things were very wrong: noises at night, lights and heating switching on by themselves, and one night my king size bed lifted two feet off the floor. A psychic called Christina spent months clearing the house and removed around 23 spirits and a very nasty entity.
From then on I spent every spare moment learning about this unseen world. Jayne and I came to the work through crystal healing and Reiki, and at the end of my Reiki master course in January 2004, my teacher Ann looked up and said she had a Chinese man with her called Chen, who would be working with me from now on.
Chen wanted to practise coming into my body in trance, and after about nine months to a year of weekly psychic circles he could fully come through, move and speak. When I asked him what to call our work, his answer was “Psychic Surgery”. He is still our main surgeon today.
I promised myself that one day I would write the book I could not find, to help the people following behind me. That promise is part of why this book exists.

Meet Chen
A humble rice farmer, and the voice of this book
Chen’s last life on Earth was in China, in 1624, as a rice farmer with a wife and two children. He passed over at 43, and today he works through Andy in trance as his principal guide and surgeon, with a large team in spirit behind him.
“I was the humble farmer, the farmer with two children that had no money that was living on nettles.”Chen, Chapter 1
The book is written in his voice: plain words for normal people, practical advice you can use today, and plenty of humour. As he puts it, “We wanted to be the fun channel.”
You can still ask him your own questions live each week. Watch the free live sessions.

Excerpts from the book
A taste of Chen’s voice, taken straight from the chapters.
If you want to change the world, begin with your own vibration. If you are carrying trauma, resentment, fear or anger, it holds your vibration down. “It’s rather like a balloon. If you think about a young child holding a balloon, that balloon cannot rise because the child is holding the piece of string”. To rise, the string must be lengthened or let go.The balloon on a stringChapter 5: The Heart, Love and Healing
Guides work through your perception, so you notice the shape or sign you need at the moment you need it. Ask for reassurance on a hard day, and suddenly there is a white feather. The object is ordinary. The timing is the message.SignsChapter 7: Your Spirit Guides
The wetsuit protects your chakras and your field from psychic draining and attachments. The invisibility cloak deliberately reduces how strongly you broadcast your light, so you are less visible to the negative side.The wetsuit and the invisibility cloakChapter 10: Everyday Protection
And no, I do not sit around waiting for young Andrew to call me. “We’re not sat around with a pipe smoking, waiting for you to give us a call so that we can attend.” I keep a schedule of sorts and check it each day, as you check a calendar.Where I amChapter 1: Meeting Chen
You play a personality on a stage, and spirit is the audience watching. “We are watching you. We’re in the audience. You’re on the stage.” You are not alone in the moment you leave. “Someone you love will take your hand and guide you home.”Going homeChapter 21: Death and What Carries Forward
If you want the simplest spiritual advice I can give you, it is this. “Laugh every day.” Laughter raises your vibration straight away and reconnects you to love.Laugh every dayChapter 22: Laugh Every Day
Questions and answers
A few of the questions Chen answers
Asked by viewers on the live sessions, answered by Chen in his own words. Here is how a few of his answers begin.
Does everyone have a spirit guide?
“The moment you choose to incarnate, you are aligned with a spirit guide. Every person has one. Whether you become aware of it is another matter. People ask me, ‘I have not met my guide yet. Will I in this lifetime?’ You definitely will at some point. If not while you are awake in this life, then as you transition.”
“So where do you begin? My starting point is always the same: meditation.”
From Chapter 7: Your Spirit Guides
How can I tell whether what I connect with is genuine?
“Discernment is essential, especially if your mediumship is still developing. When a presence comes to you in meditation, ask it three times: ‘Are you from the highest light?’ You want yes, yes, yes. Anything else is a no. Disconnect, return to your protection, and state that you allow only a guide working for your highest good.”
“Watch for flattery. Imposters feed the ego: ‘You are special. You are chosen. I am a famous guide.’”
From Chapter 8: Mediumship and Discernment
What is sovereignty, and how do I check mine?
“We work on one simple assumption: a human being should be sovereign. Your energy should be your own.”
“When you finish any spiritual work, always check: am I sovereign? Ask yourself three times: Am I sovereign, yes or no? If the answer is no, or a yes that turns into a no, ask your guides to clear the interference and check again, until you get three quick yeses.”
“Because if you’re not sovereign, you’re not you.”
From Chapter 9: Sovereignty
Can someone put a curse on me?
“A curse is a frequency. It’s a negative stream of energy. When you send someone negative thoughts, you connect to them and send negativity down a pipe into their etheric field. Someone healthy and protected will not notice; in good health, it bounces off.”
“When we clear curses from a client, we do not actively send anything back. We protect the client, and the negative stream of energy is simply reflected back.”
From Chapter 12: Understanding Interference
Are Ouija boards dangerous?
“A Ouija board is, in itself, a harmless piece of wood with letters and numbers on it, and mediums have used it responsibly for a long time. The danger is in how people use it. If you do not state clearly, at the start, who you wish to communicate with, any energy can come through, and more than likely it will be negative.”
From Chapter 8: Mediumship and Discernment
Where does Chen go when he is not with Andy?
“There is no weather where I am. We just exist in a space. Well, a frequency, really, not a physical space, of course.”
“I attend meetings off this planet, interdimensional boards rather like your corporate meetings, where other energies and species plan the work.”
From Chapter 1: Meeting Chen
What happens when we die?
“Physical life feels real because your consciousness is locked into the role you are playing. When the body ends, the illusion dissolves, and you realise it was a theatre show.”
“If you have not met your spirit guide in this life, you certainly will as you transition.”
From Chapter 21: Death and What Carries Forward
