Think about all the input you've received over your lifetime about the psychic realm. The popular media tends to view psychic phenomena with an equal measure of suspicion and fascination. The popular TV show The X-Files taps into the public's strong desire to investigate the nature and truth of psychic experiences and events. In movies and on TV, though, psychic phenomena tend to be larger than life, often with supernatural or paranormal qualities attached (they do have to entertain, after all!). But harnessing psychic power in your own life is not so extreme, scary, or out of this world. Being psychic can be an everyday way of being, another part of who you are.
Traditional religions have a wide range of viewpoints on psychic matters, not all of them positive. Your own parents, depending on their religious backgrounds, probably downplayed psychic impulses or spurned them, for fear of putting ''silly" ideas in your head. Yet each great religious tradition from Buddha to Mohammed to Christ has a tradition of prophecy and miracles. (We'll be exploring the rich history of psychic intuition in Chapter 2.)
How often have you stopped to think for yourself about what being psychic really means?

Perhaps the intuitive messages you receive can be looked upon as gifts from the universe, offering to guide you along a clearer, smoother pathway. Perhaps they originate from an all-seeing and all-loving God who speaks to you through these impressions. Or perhaps they are entirely physical biochemical sensations, brought on by hormonal overloads of body chemicals that scientists are only just discovering. Experts have no answers to these ponderings. Explore your beliefs so that you can resolve any possible barriers that could prevent you from opening up to something new, such as your own incredible psychic potential!
