This book is about the power of the mind and how it relates to psychic phenomena, principally divination. It takes a look at the history of the field and at people who practice the psychic arts, based on data provided by an internationally distributed psychics' survey. In addition, it shows how you can hone your own psychic skills and practice divination to enhance your life. Never before has anyone surveyed psychics and channelers directly about their art.
