A couple of years ago I had a reading with Char on the phone. I could not believe how she knew the names of people in my family, living and dead. I did not feel any fear as I thought I might, I only felt peace and comfort by her words. Being raised a Catholic, I was very worried about even going thru with this reading. I surrounded myself with statues and said a prayer to God before we started. That's all I can say is that the experience was unbeleivable. Two years later I had the pleasure of meeting her at one of her book signings. She was as warm in person as she was on the phone. She is a loving and caring person and only means well for people. After reading the book I have become more aware of the importance of being a more in tune person about what we do here on earth and how it will effect us after we are gone. Just think, isn't it a nice thought to think we will be able to see our children and loved ones after we are gone? Read the book, and also read " Talking to Heaven"

_This excellent book could have very easily been titled "Intuition- and How to Use it." I've read a number of books written specifically on the subject of developing the intuitive mode of thought and this volume is by far the best. From the start the author points out that intuition is a type of knowing that we all have. Perhaps some of us are born with it to a stronger natural degree, but all of us have it and can learn to strengthen what we have. In fact, most of us are taught from a very young age to ignore our intuition and to always use rational, left-brain thinking. You can break this conditioning. The author points out that we are given the gifts of common sense, rational thought, and intuition- and that we are to use them all in the correct blend. After all, reason doesn't work all the time if you lack all the facts- and how many times do you really think that you have all the facts? Intuition connects you to a higher level of reality that we all share- including those who have passed on.

_The author's description of life and the afterlife is classic and has the ring of truth to it. We are here to grow through struggle and making tough choices under tough conditions. That is how our spirit grows. Many of our difficulties have roots in previous incarnations. We are all spiritual beings- some of us incarnate and some disincarnate. This is important to remember if you are receiving impressions from the other side- not all spirits (either on earth or beyond) should be trusted. Our goal should not be to simply make contact with spirits. The highest goal should always be to make contact with God/higher consciousness/universal wisdom. You do this by always keeping your ego in check and making sure that your deepest intensions always corresponds with the highest possible level of goodness and wisdom.

_This book not only gives you specific individual stories of successfully receiving information from the other side, but it also tells you how to develop such ability in yourself. At the very lest, it should give you a sense of what the genuine experience is like. That's one of the most refreshing aspects of this book, its insistence that you should depend on yourself and not any spirit guide, psychic or guru. You can listen to such sources, but ultimately YOU are responsible for making your own decisions.

_The secret between intuition and mere wishful thinking is experience. It took years before I came to trust it. Then I noticed that virtually ever time I went against my intuition (but with strict logic and statistics) things turned out badly. Whenever I went with my intuition (and the natural flow underlying the surface of the world) everything turned out well, if not exactly as I had planned. There are good spirits seeking to guide and protect us if we allow ourselves to work with them. Just learn to recognize when they ARE good spirits.

This was an excellent book for anyone interested in realizing the God given psychic gift we all have. It not only has interesting story's of a psychics adventures, it answers questions to so many things that happen in our lives on a daily basis that just don't make sense. It teaches us how everyone can learn to listen to that inner voice that keeps us from making the wrong decisions in life. It also makes sense of death and why some people live so long and others only a short time. After reading this book death no longer seems scary and final. There are so many spiritual things going on in the world around us every day and now we can all become a little in tune with them. I highly reccomend this book to anyone interested in discovering the "inner you".

Learning about the psychic world and my own power to tap into it through Ms. Margolis has been transformational in my life. This book and her work helped me to transcend a painful tragedy from my past. I learned that I too can use my own intuition to steer clear of problems before they start. Ms. Margolis is an excellent writer, and it is obvious she comes to the subject with a lot of heart and compassion for the reader. It's worth every penny, and more. Buy this book if you are interested in changing your life and getting in touch with what is really going on!

This is a good book for someone who is looking for an overview of intuition and, in particular, communication with spirits. Char gives much clear-cut advice on protecting yourself from bad spirits (actually, I think she goes a little overboard, here).
It is not a book, however, that offers details and step-by-step procedures. In fact, at one point she says that she would have her students practice reading for each other at this point, but since this is a book, she'll just provide other peoples' experiences with doing readings. What a disappointment! If you're looking for really good introductory material, this book is a gem. If you're ready to start practicing, look for something else.

Despite what others may have thought about this book, I really loved it! In fact, I was so inspired by Char and her capabilities I felt compelled to check out her web site to learn more. When I called to see how much her telephone readings were - I was suprised. Its extremely expensive... but she was booked solid for 6 months! So there are a lot of people out there that are interested in hearing what she has to say. If she ever comes to my neck of the woods for a seminar or workshop, I'm there!

For some reason I just did not connect with this book the way I have others of its kind.I'm not sure why. It just didn't grab my attention or leave a lasting impression with me.Theres nothing wrong with the book and I couldn't really pinpoint anything that I felt was lacking.
The thing I have to praise about the book is that the Author gives practical advice, but is very encouraging at the same time. She keeps reminding you that you can use your intuition to your fullest advantage, you can be psychic, it is very possible for you to do all that and more.A lot of just ordinary people who have psychic ability are often egotistical and exclusionary,but Char seems pretty down to earth, especially for a psychic of her vast accomplishments and thats something that I appreciated.

I recently saw the author on a "Larry King Live" televised interview where she held her own with four theologians including Deepak Chopkra. Her perspective on intuition and awareness made sense. In this book she further explains the value of being "in sync with the universe."


You may not agree with her perspective nor her psychic readings adventures. I didn't. Yet Ms. Margolis' book opens a doorway to possibilities, and the inherent power within each of us to understand and navigate the currents of life more smoothly. This is a very interesting perspective, worth the read.


Ms. Margolis writes "life is a school, and we are here to learn lessons as co-workers with Spirit." If that concept seems plausible to you, ---- after you finish reading this book, take a look at "Many Lives, Many Masters" by Brian Weiss, "Journey of Souls," by Michael Newton, and Harold Klemp's "The Language of Soul" and "How To Survive Spiritually in Our Times."

I am not a fast reader (having two small children constantly interrupting doesn't help!), but I read through this book in 2 days! It made me cry when I read some of her stories because they were things I could relate to. I don't know if people who haven't had psychic experiences would like this book because it is harder to believe something if you haven't experienced it yourself and I understand that, but if you have had these experiences then you know that there are people out there with these abilities and that at least some of them are legitimate. For those people I would highly recommend this book.
