Acknowledgments
How can I write this book without acknowledging everyone who championed psychic development? I am not the first, and I certainly wont be the last to help get this information into the hands of those who need it most.
All my teachers, the psychics, and authors who have been there for me deserve my gratitude and my utmost respect. The experiences I have shared within the pages of this book would not have been possible without them.
And, speaking of experiences, the people whove shared their stories with you, the readers, deserve a million thanks as well. They bring life and explanation to so many of the chapters. The friends and clients whove shared their stories in many different books, the ones who have stayed on this journey, again, a huge Thank you! Thank you for helping so many others grasp what could be their story, their intuition, and their fears.
My sister, who once again, has been there to hold my hand and say, Just get it on paper. You are amazing! Thank you, Tammy!
And Adam, for believing in me almost as much as I believe in him, and I do believe that he will be a best-selling author one day!
To my friends and loved ones who encourage and support me with coffee, love, and even the occasional cookiesyou know who you are!
And finally, Angela Wix, who, although weve never met in person, seems to know me so well offering me an extension even though she didnt know I needed an extension! A psychic in her own right, and an amazing editor. Thank you, again!
Most especially, thanks to everyone who chose to read this book! I hope you enjoy it!

Introduction
We are all intuitive. But, you know that already. Youve gotten this far in life by using your intuition, if only occasionally. You are ready to move on to the next level, to go beyond your beginnings, and tune in to all your psychic gifts. Youve likely already absorbed the basics and are looking for more. If not, dont worry! We will cover key basics at the start to ensure we are all moving beyond the beginner phase with a solid foundation in place. Either way, it doesnt matter. Its of no import, because you know, dont you? You know that youve already got something brewing. Youve already begun to tap into all the universe has to offer. But, possibly, youre stuck, though you are all set and ready to go. Now is your chance to move to the next level.
Being psychic is natural. Its normal. Its part of your birthright. It is as ordinary as breathing, yet we dont usually treat it that way. It is an innate legacy we have all been bestowed with, though we undoubtedly have not drawn on it nearly as much as we should. Perhaps it doesnt feel as instinctive to you because youve fought against it at some point during your lifetime. Maybe youve discovered that you really are psychic or at the very least, intuitive. Either way, you are at the point when you are prepared to go deeper, to understand more fully what it means to be psychic or to utilize your inherent psychic abilities.
