There are some bogus ones available by mail order. Never tried to count. Lots, but where to start? The legal profession deals with words, jails, and money. The medical profession deals with bodies and money. The psychology / psychiatry profession deals with minds and money. The Psychic healers deal with spirits and money. The new age deals with spiritualism and money. The churches deal with dogma and money. You may notice a common thread here... money. We all (those of us with bodies) live in the material world, where it has been agreed upon that money shall be a medium of exchange of energy. I can convert computer programming energy into money with which to purchase roof-over-my-head and food-on-my-table energy, and even tiger-in-my-tank energy. So, are we all just trading around existing energy? or is there some source of more? I can eat all-american-hamburger energy which came from cow energy which came from grass-in-the-field energy which came from sunlight energy to maintain my life, but stuffing a Big-Mac in the mouth of a corpse will not make it alive. Oh, you CAN indeed keep a body's muscles moving (breathing and circulating blood) by feeding it IV Glucose, but then it looks a lot like one of them machines them doctors use during surgery to keep somebody's blood oxygenated and such... i.e. so much dead meat. Although there is prana (life force) permeating everything (some call it ether), it takes a spirit for there to be life. Yours, mine, your dog's or cat's or brat's, doesn't matter which. The lower animals are more like 10% spirit and 90% instinct, so that when you cut-off a chiken's head, the body will run around for quite a while, despite the loss of its spirit, but humans are more like 90% spirit and 10% instinct, so a body being "kept alive" in a hospital is fairly boring and useless. It IS a valuable service to keep a body alive until its spirit decides to return to it, but if the spirit has decided to leave, ain't no amount of mechanical assistance gonna make that body more than a breathing corpse. Now, the ABA (American Bar Association) and the AMA (American Medical Association) have succeeded (at least in California) in making laws which require you to have a license to practice medicine in order to diagnose, prescribe for, or claim to heal a body. Those who heal spirits, me for example, in order to not run afoul of this law, need to be affiliated with a church, (and such affiliation is roughly known as "minister"), and most ministers need training or certification, roughly known by the title "reverend". Which is the long way around to answering your question... I have been in a year long clairvoyance training program which leads to my certification as a reverend, whereupon I may affiliate with the church of my choice as one of its ministers, and thence begin to practice psychic healing for a fee, without running afoul of "the law", as long as I only ever claim to heal spirit, rather than body. No problem, since a healed spirit will heal it's own body. True healing ALWAYS originates in the spirit, whether the catalyst for someone to heal their own spirit was a psychic healing, a placebo, or serious drugs or surgery proferred by a "Doctor". Furthermore, it should be noted that, while I might call myself a psychic healer, all healing which is not self induced is induced by the supreme being, A.K.A. Christ, and that at best I may strive to become a clear channel for Christ to heal others. Even so, I also need to pay my rent and buy my food from the Organic Grocery Store, so it is impractical in our society for me to spend my life in His service without charging a fee for my healing work, or taking up an additional (or retaining an original) profession with which to pay the rent. Ah, back to clairvoyance, to answer your question which you so patiently held through the last paragraph... it means "clear seeing". Psychics tend to fall into perceptual categories (or combinations thereof), just as "normal" people tend to fall into the very same categories of "thinker": 7) Knowing (Conceptual) 6) Visual 5) Aural (no, not Oral) "Normal" people are more commly noted to 4) Love, Charity 3) Power, Manifestation 2) Emotion (Empathy, Sympathy) 1) Survival (Fight, Flight) These functions roughly relate to the 7 "in-body" chakras, or energy vortices, where the spirit attaches to and controls the body. There is strong correlation between them, and bodily organs known as the endocrine system. The reason is simple... The spirit acts through the chakras (energy translators) to control the endocrine system which in turn controls the whole body. The associated ganglea interface the spirit to the body inputs (nerves) and outputs (muscles controlled by nerves). The body is infused with and surrounded by an "aura" of energy, which also reflects the state of the spirit. The chakras relate to or reflect the spirit being, and the aura reflects how that being manifests through the body into the world. The difference is like the difference between flexing your muscles, and using them to chop wood or earn your daily bread. A psychic can read someone's chakras, and "see" the health of the spirit being, and can act upon them to heal the being. Or he or she can read the aura, and "see" how that being is doing at living in the world (wealth, relationship, etc), and can act upon the aura to heal the manifestation. The spirit is the cause of the state of the body, so it's far more effective to heal the spirit and let it manifest into the aura and body, than to work only with the body, as the medical profession does. I have no idea how to bend spoons, or "prove" psychic phenomena to a disbeliever, for we each have the power to create our own reality... but for someone genuinely interested in healing him/her self, I can "work miracles" (be the agent of His power). Interestingly enough, what I heal in others I heal in myself, so it is not entirely unselfish to be a psychic healer. Further, I cannot see in others what I canot see in myself. I must continually strive to be clear of other people's energy and programming in order to be sensitive to the subtler energies of another's spirit. It is most difficult to read yourself sans bias. I have been extremely fortunate to study with some really good psychics. Most of the "techniques" derive from Berkeley Psychic Institute. Sunny
