James Van Praagh believes that death is not the end. In this book he describes a variety of techniques to expand one's psychic awareness and intuition. He explains that the spirits can be teachers, companions, creative inspiration and even offer protection once we learn: how to fully see, feel and hear; how to strengthen one's aura; how to recognize signals from spirit beings; the role of angels; to overcome fear; and how to protect ourselves from negative or harmful sources.
