Summary: 5 Stars
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic, by Lynn A. Robinson, M.Ed. and LaVonne Carlson-Finnerty, has everything you need to recognize and develop your innate psychic abilities. Robinson is an intuitive consultant who has been helping people for more than 20 years, and Carlson-Finnerty is a writer specializing in health, alternative health, and spirituality. Together they've written an easy-to-understand book that will answer every question you might have about being psychic.Robinson emphasizes that everyone is psychic. It simply takes a bit of practice to develop your abilities. The book is filled with easy exercises designed to help bring you recognize psychic experiences and develop your own "sixth sense."
The authors present a brief history of psychic phenomena, beginning with the Babylonians, who "read" animal entrails to predict the future. They also list people who have depended on their psychic abilities, including Sir Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein, and Henry Ford. They also tell you how to choose a psychic, or intuitive, consultant and what to reasonably expect from a reading.
Most of the book, however, is devoted to developing your own abilities. They emphasize that "your intuition is sending you information all the time--you just need to start noticing it." People receive information in various ways. The most common are clairvoyance (inner vision), clairaudience (inner voice), and clairsentience (inner sensing). Others can touch an object and know its history (psychometry), while some receive information via taste or smell. They also discuss hypnosis, dreams, telepathy, auras, precognition, ESP, channeling, and astral travel.
Once you learn to recognize and develop your particular psychic abilities, you can then use them to improve your life, especially for mental and physical healing. Your intuition can help you decide what your ideal life is, and then help you live that ideal. For those who wish to help others, the authors provide information on how to give a reading.
Robinson and Carlson-Finnerty have also compiled several appendices of resource material, including Internet sources.
The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic is a useful reference for anyone wishing to understand or develop their innate talents. It's easy to read, with lots of practical examples, and it thoroughly covers all things psychic.
Summary of The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic
You're no idiot, of course. You know there are many types of mysterious phenomena that have yet to be scientifically explained. But when it comes to getting in touch with your psychic abilities, you have enough trouble accessing your own mind, much less someone else's. Don't call the psychic hot line yet! The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic teaches you everything you need to know to tune into yourself. In this Complete Idiot's Guide, you get:Some might think this book proves that the Complete Idiot's series is running out of subjects to simplify, but it is more likely evidence that psychic phenomena have finally found acceptance in the mainstream. The perfect bridge between the mundane and the paranormal, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic introduces readers to forms of extrasensory perception (ESP)--such as clairvoyance, telepathy, and precognition--and discusses ways to improve personal psychic abilities. Arranged much like a classroom text, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic offers plenty of history on psychic phenomena and information on how established scientific fields view and study the subject. Sidebars handle jargon and technical information with easy-to-understand definitions and examples. You don't have to be a complete idiot to read this book, but even if you are, The Complete Idiot's Guide to Being Psychic will take the mystery out of ESP. --Brian Patterson
