Before starting this book, I was aware of the term psychic but did not really understand the extent it covered. There are so many types of abilities. She starts at the beginning with the study of extrasensory perception, Nostradamus, and Edgar Cayce.

Chapter 5: Claircognizance (Clear Knowing)
Chapter 6: Clairgustance (Clear Tasting)
Chapter 7: Clairalience / Clairolfaction / Clairescence (Clear Smelling)
Chapter 8: Clairtangency (Clear Touch)
Chapter 9: Telepathy & Psychokinesis
Chapter 10: Combining the Senses
Chapter 11: Psychic Tools

The author provided exercises for each chapter that works a specific sense. She recommends using a journal to records them. The first exercise is a simple one. She asks the reader to remember the first time you experienced something happening that you could not explain. For me, I was in 5th grade and had a feeling of déjà vu. That was my aha moment.

She recommends students to imagine something if they are having difficulties with their intuition. This is the second time I have heard of this. The first time was from an animal communication instructor. The more I imagined, the easier it was to react intuitively. If you are interested in improving your psychic abilities, I highly recommend this book. It is the type of book you can refer to over and over.
