Gifted pyschic, Betty Balcombe, has written a primer for utilizing our natural God-given sixth sense. This is a quick reference for those interested in accessing and exploring intuition, inner knowing and other psychic gifts. Note: this is a year 2000 reprinting of Everyone's Guide for Using Psychic Ability. The book first appeared in print in 1988.

I've read the first two chapters. Personally this book doesn't cut it for me. The way she sees the chakra is completely different from what I'm used to (ie: 7 levels) and she attributes different colors to them. That in itself isn't the biggest deal, but her exercises seem to require extremely specific hand positions and such things which personally (from experience) doesn't require such complex coreography.

I have no doubt that what she wrote works for her and will work for someone else our there, but to me, this book isn't what I would see as a "good book to learn from". It's more of "this is my way to do it" with a laundry list of what I can do and you can do the same thing.

Read the entire book, from cover to back. She offers alot of what I would call theories or ideas; ways to look at situations! I would say that having the gift she does, the things she says are true; however, some of the book seems to have just someones perceptions of things in general. I liked what I learned, and I also have opened up a few things in my mind, and I have to say I felt something while reading this book. First book on psychics I have ever read, and I would reread a few of the chapters. Betty offers a few mental exercises to tap into your abilities which, given time, has shown me a few things I've personally never thought I would've experienced without having read the book. The approach and beliefs I personally do not find to be able to handle by everyone, but some of the things mentioned in there are provable by science. A good book, gets better in the later chapters.

You really need an open mind for this one. I don't agree with everything inside it. Concepts and conclusions are flawed and or incorrect.
However the meditation exercises are worth reading.
