Douglas James Cottrell
is a Canadian psychic or trance clairvoyant, healer and author. A writer and journalist once referred to Douglas as "the only authenticated successor to the Edgar Cayce phenomenon." Often, Douglas's Deep Trance Meditation style is compared to that of Edgar Cayce, one of the most-documented intuitives of our century. In fact, the media has dubbed Douglas, "Canada's Edgar Cayce."

Douglas is among a select few who are able to genuinely demonstrate a variety of different mental/spiritual abilities: remote viewing, clairvoyance, prediction, prophecy, communication with disembodied souls, dream interpretation, aura seeing and interpretation, and spiritual healing. Yet Douglas is quite humble when discussing these amazing abilities. He asserts that anyone can learn to express such abilities themselves, to varying degrees. Premonition, precognition, prediction and prophecy all represent various creative aspects of the human Soul. To read how Douglas learned to develop these abilities, click here.

Deep Trance Meditation
During the state of Deep Trance Meditation, Douglas is able to dissociate from his conscious mind and ego. His metabolism suppressed, and his body profoundly relaxed, Douglas is able to demonstrate very powerful and genuine intuitive ability, which has been tested and verified time and time again. In this state, he able to access to a level of consciousness which describes itself as "The Contemplative Mind." Unlike the conscious mind (or "Rational Mind") this consciousness is unbound by time and space. It is a collective of minds, able to access a heavenly realm known as The Akashic Records, a non-physical repository of all knowledge, thought, action, and experience, of every soul that has ever existed, throughout all time. Douglas believes this method of communication affords him the unique ability to filter out the subjectivities of human emotion and expectation that color and cloud perception of Truth.

In 2003, Douglas performed a series of Deep Trance Meditation sessions as research for a book which was published the subsequent year as Secrets of Life. During each session, he was asked questions about the soul and spirituality and spiritual abilities - questions concerning the purpose of life itself! In effect, with each answer provided, Douglas was "dictating" the content of an important book - while he was asleep! Each Deep Trance Meditation session was tape recorded and then transcribed verbatim. The information was then assembled into a cohesive publication and published by the Cottrell family themselves.
