Perspective Shift

I've had this book for quiet some time now. Because this review, if you want to call it that, is already looking to be quiet lengthy, I'll skip over most of the unnecessarily information and get right into the book.

The books entire set up is on a basis of psychic awareness, and development, coming from "The Four Psychic Reception Areas" as they have chosen to so eloquently call them. The areas that they are refering to are; psychic vision, hearing, feeling, and intuition.

The first of these that they taught about and discussed was "Feeling." They call this area the most accessible, and the easiest to open and interpret. They claim that this is what happens when you get "gut feelings" or "instincts." They call these events "psychic impressions " that are "...plucked from the energy field that surrounds us."

"All people, places and objects constantly radiate vibrational patterns, and your physical body is like a large antenna able to register and assimilate their meanings as inner feelings..." They say that this area is linked to a physical sensation. It's location is in the solar plexus... "...the solar plexus functions as a "master antenna." Numerous nerve networks associated with the autonomic (or involuntary) nervous system are located there, spreading over the abdomen like a latticework of fine wires. The autonomic nervous system not only provides direct access for psychic impressions to the subconscious mind, but it also is linked to every major organ and most endocrine glands..."

The method they offer for accessing this is about what you would assume from a book titled "You Are Psychic." It's as follows:

1. Relax your body by taking several deep breaths and slowly exhaling. Sit or stand comfortably, facing away from anyone who is present, and close your eyes.

2. Focus your awareness on the solar plexus area ad feel the
impressions you are receiving.

3. Don't try. Don't force. Just be open and aware, You should feel
as if you have full access to the master antenna in your solar plexus
area.

4. Note the impressions you experience.
Does the room feel calm or vibrant? Does its energy feel sluggish, smooth, or
scattered?

5. Briefly go to several other rooms or environments and
tune in the same way. compare and differences in feeling you sense from each
location. They then ask you to tap into this feeling receptor and think about several people that you know, one at a time. Essentially they are asking you to practice empathy. They want you to see how they feel right now, etc... You know the drill. They want you to practice this regularly and to learn how to feel a persons own individual "vibration, or aura," essentially their "Psionic Signature" (not in the book) They say that doing this will help you access this Psychic Feeling on command.

After this they move into the psychometry section entitled "Psychometry: Psychic Feeling Through Your Hands." Afterwhich is no more teaching. The rest is discussion about how to practice, what it does for you and the like.

Psychic Intuition

The reception area, as told by the book, is located at the top of the head. In an almost funnel/whirlpool like image. The book states that Deja Vu, Precognition, etc... All stem from this area

"The neurobiological basis for locating the Intuition Psychic Reception Area
at the top of the head is that the central fissure of the brain lies there. That central fissure provides the most direct and unobstructed pathway to the corpus callosum, the massive nerve bundle that interconnects the two hemispheres of the brain. with the recent emphasis on the advantage of using both the right and left sides of the brain, access to their primary connection may well be of profound importance. Moreover, shifting your awareness upward to the crown of the head consistently causes a marked increase in alpha-brain-wave activity--the brain-wave pattern most frequently associated with altered states of consciousness and increased extrasensory ability" "Tapping the Gateway to Psychic Intuition"

1. Relax, sit comfortably, and close your eyes.

2. Picture a funnel, it's wide end extending up and out from the center of the top of your head.

3. Gently guide your awareness upward and focus your attention out through that funnel. Be open to whatever you experience. 4. Remember, do not try too hard; do not force your concentration!

5. Practice alternating between your normal eyes-open awareness, and thinking up with your eyes closed (turning your attention upward to the Intuition Psychic Reception Area)

6. Feel how a multitude of impressions seems to be pouring into your mind through the funnel. Notice the sensation of heightened attunement that opens to you there. They say that this area is the easiest to switch on once you know how. This area is used to gain knowledge. They used an example of a graduate of "Free Soul" who used this method, and was given the exact time and date of her child's birth, as well as the birth weight, three weeks prior to the event. That, as well as the writing using a similar version of this to help with his academic success at MIT.

Psychic Hearing

This area is located at either side of the head, above ear level. They say that this section of the skull lies over the cerebrum that processes auditory information. That at this location nerve signals from the inner ear are gathered, sorted, and integrated so that sound waves striking the ear drum can be perceived as words or language.

This section is used when focusing in on peoples conversations across the room, or in a noisy environment. They give a method for this, as expected, and it seems to be scarily similar to methods prescribbed for "clairaudience" practice.

1. Sit comfortably; relax.

2. Take a deep breath and exhale gently.

3. Practice sensing the different parts of your head area. Without touching them, be aware of your ears and the level of your ears.

4. Now shift your focus upward and sense the area above your ears. Be aware of the sides of your head one or two inches above ear level.

5. Note how this area has heightened sensitivity, like a microphone ready to amplify any sound or signal. Picture huge megaphones channeling psychic vibration directly to the temporal lobes.

6. Alternate the levels of focus several times, first aiming your awareness at ear level, then letting it slide up to the temporal-lobe area above the ears. This reception area is located at the third eye region of the forehead (about a half inch up from the middle of your eyes) 1. Before pinpointing your exact Vision Psychic Reception Area location-your third eye-it is important to understand the foci or center points of both the physical and psychic vision fields. An awareness of how that center point shifts when you switch from physical to psychic vision is crucial to understanding and effectively using your Vision Psychic Reception Area.

7. Begin by finding the center point of your physical vision field. Relax and look straight ahead. While looking at the entire scene in front of you, feel where the center of your vision field is in relation to you race. For example, if a perfectly straight and level line were extended back toward you from the center of your field of vision, where would that line touch your face? most people find that the center of their physical vision field lies between their eyes and about an inch below their eyebrows, approximately at the bridge of the nose. 3. Experiment to get the clear feeling of where your physical vision's center point is. If you are having difficulty extend your arm, pointing a finger at yourself and with your eyes open gradually bring your finger closer and closer to you (keeping it in the center of your fiend of vision) until it touches your face. Do not stare at your finger. Look straight ahead and keep your finger in the center of what you see until it touches your face. This point is the center of your physical vision field. The steps continue until about 6. You get the general direction they are trying to go in. From this step they basically tell you to try shifting your vision to this location. They tell you that you have both visions accessible with your eyes open, but this is often ignored.

After some exercises they go into other clairvoyance related things; dream interpretation, psychic vision, etc...

The book continues with some other interesting and semi-entertaining sections. They teach some mind over matter stuff like biofeedback. That particular section is entitled "Mind over Pulse: Learning Heart Control." They also talk about some Healing topics, among a lot of other things. The book is about 260 pages of actual information.

This book was fairly well written I must admit. I don't really appreciate the way in which it was written though, so if you pick it up, don't expect it to value your intelligence. I cannot say I disapprove with the authors methods though, especially when you consider that this book is entitled "You Are Psychic," It's fairly obvisus to locate the target audience. That audience more often than not being a group of people looking for direct, straight to the point explanations and exercises for developing psychic-abilities. It's a pretty cheap book, around $11.20 on amazon. I have read better articles online about some of these topics, so I wouldn't point you in that direction if that's all you're gunning for. It does have some very good information about the mind and related content though. Those sections are what made this book worth reading for me. If you're just bored though, I'd recomend picking it up. It's a very easy read and you will probably get through it in a day or two.
