I NTRODUCTION
T his is a book Ive been preparing and looking forward to for a very long time.
My formal work as a psychic, researcher, master hypnotist, past life regressionist, lecturer, and spiritual teacher has taken me all over the world for more than half a century. But Ive noticed a remarkable increase in the past ten years in the number of parents who come to me for help and advice about their children, wondering if its possible that they might have a psychic child on their hands. The parents reactions range from scared to confused to worried to fascinated to, in the rarest cases, delighted. Their children tell stories of imaginary friends who seem far too real; visits from spirits they later recognize as deceased family members; Angels rescuing them or just making an appearance to say hello; detailed memories of other mommies and daddies and lives in other times and other places; dreams about past, present, and future events that happen to be completely accurate; knowledge of where they lived before they came here; and a variety of abilities that far exceed the limits of our five physical senses. The parents dont understand whats happening, why its happening, or what to do about it. This book is for them, and for all of you who find yourselves in the same confused and confusing situation.
You want to know if your child is psychic.
The answer is Yes, they are.
All children are psychic. In the pages that follow youll learn why that always has been and always will be true and perfectly normal. Youll learn the many ways their psychic gifts can manifest themselves, the best and worst ways to respond to those gifts, and how to most effectively teach and be taught by your psychic child. And above all, youll learn that at the core of these wonderful gifts is exactly what lies at the core of life itself: the sacred, perfect, all-loving presence of God.
As the past ten years have unfolded, Ive wondered time and again why more parents than ever are showing up at my proverbial door to share their joys and concerns about their psychic child. Theres nothing new about children being born psychically gifted, so why the increase in parents who want to talk about them? Are people finally becoming more comfortable with the idea of openly discussing psychic issues that are occurring in their own homes? Are advanced spirits coming to earth in greater numbers as part of this worlds ongoing spiritual awakening, with the result that our children are more psychic than ever before? Or are we within distant sight of the end of life on earth, during which the veil between this dimension and the dimension of the Other Side will slowly but surely dissipate like a fine mist, leaving us all in the perpetual God-given glory of Home?
During these ten years, through countless clients, travels all over the world, and many other books, Ive been gathering my thoughts, notes, research, and stories for Psychic Children. May it provide answers, hope, faith, and peace to you and the psychic children with whom you share them.
Sylvia C. Browne
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.

Psychic Children:
Gods Eternal Miracle
W hen my granddaughter Angelia was six years old, she had a dream. She was on the Other Side, quietly walking through the Orientation Center, a breathtaking oblong temple where spirits returning Home were talking to spirits about to leave for another lifetime on earth.
She found herself at the door to a room with a vast wall of veiled glass. Curious, she started to step inside, and got a brief glimpse of babies, for as far as her eyes could see, all of them happy and playing, while grown-ups moved among them, taking care of them.
