    Shinto, often referred to as "the way of the gods," is Japan's indigenous spiritual tradition, rich in rituals, beliefs, and practices that have evolved over centuries. Unlike many organized religions, Shinto does not have a single founder or a unified doctrine; instead, it is a diverse amalgamation of ancient animistic beliefs, reverence for nature, and deep respect for ancestral spirits. This uniqueness allows Shinto to seamlessly blend with other spiritual practices, particularly Buddhism, which has coexisted with it for over a millennium. 
    At the heart of Shinto is the concept of kami, the spirits or deities that inhabit all aspects of the natural world. These kami are not limited to grand gods; they can also include the spirits of mountains, rivers, trees, and even objects. This belief fosters a profound connection between individuals and their environment, promoting an ethos of harmony and respect for nature. Rituals and practices in Shinto are designed to honor these kami, ensuring their favor and maintaining the delicate balance between humanity and the natural world. 
    Throughout Japan’s history, Shinto has played a significant role in shaping cultural identity, national consciousness, and social customs. The tradition has influenced art, literature, and festivals, providing a lens through which to understand the values and beliefs of the Japanese people. From the serene beauty of shrine architecture to the vibrant celebrations of seasonal festivals, Shinto permeates daily life and cultural expression. 
    In this book, we will explore the historical development of Shinto, its core beliefs and practices, the significance of kami and rituals, and the interplay between Shinto and other religious traditions.

    A scientific, brain-based approach that provides an understanding of psychic abilities, spirit communication, and energy healing. 
     
    Jeff Tarrant was fascinated by the paranormal as a child but then his training as a neuropsychologist turned him into a hardcore skeptic. If something could not be reliably and consistently demonstrated in the laboratory, then it wasn’t real.  
     
    These rigid ideas were gradually worn away as he repeatedly witnessed and experienced things that simply should not be possible—telekenesis, clairvoyance, telepathy, mediumship, energy healing, and more. … This book follows his journey of studying, interviewing, and testing a wide variety of mediums, psychics, and healers as he tries to determine what is going on in their brains when they engage in these supernormal abilities. Readers will get to know these gifted people, exploring what makes them tick and discovering firsthand evidence that this stuff is real. 
     
    If we can understand how the psychic mind works, might the rest of us be able to use this information to help develop our own abilities? Becoming Psychic uses knowledge uncovered through case studies, expert interviews, and research to offer a variety of practical insights to help readers develop their own psi abilities.  
     
    Each chapter concludes with a “try it yourself” section, helping readers apply specific concepts and techniques into their own psychic development practice. In addition to uncovering the tips, skills, and tools identified in Tarrant's research,the book also explores how to use brain-hacking technology, such as neurofeedback, audiovisual entrainment, and pulsed electromagnetic fields to “nudge” the brain toward heightened psychic abilities—as well as quieting internal chatter, supporting empathy, and enhancing creativity—all the mental skills necessary to move from balance and wellness to the extraordinary! 
     
    Becoming Psychic fills an important gap in the psychic development literature.  
     
    There are books that tell the stories of psychics and mediums. There are books that focus on the science and evidence for these practices, and there are books devoted to teaching you how to develop your own skills. This book contains all of the above and more!
