Overview

Extraordinary Psychic is both a sequel to Katz’s earlier You Are Psychic and a standalone training guide designed to take readers from basic clairvoyant techniques through advanced applications in healing, spirit communication, and boundary protection.^[1] The book emerged from Katz’s work as director of the International School of Clairvoyance and from twelve years of professional reading and healing practice.^[1] Where the first book introduced foundational concepts, this volume addresses questions that arise during sustained practice — why techniques sometimes fail to produce immediate results, how to work with spirit entities, and how to maintain energetic boundaries as a practicing psychic.^[1]

Central argument

The book’s core claim is that clairvoyance is a natural human capacity accessible through specific visualization techniques, and that practicing these techniques produces both immediate psychic results and long-term personal transformation.^[1] Katz supports this through demonstration accounts — including a Los Angeles expo where she taught sixty-five people to perform clairvoyant readings in under forty-five minutes, with multiple readers independently perceiving the same specific images about a volunteer’s upcoming performance trip to Cancun.^[1] The argument rests on the premise that psychic information exists in a universal source accessible through imagery, and that the primary barrier to accessing it is not lack of ability but lack of technique and the resistance created by cultural conditioning and personal fear.^[1]

The book distinguishes between clairvoyant reading (observing psychic information) and clairvoyant healing (reading with the intention to create change), arguing that both processes affect the reader as much as the subject.^[1] Katz draws on quantum physics research — citing Targ and Puthoff’s Mind-Reach, Radin’s The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds, and McTaggart’s The Field and The Intention Experiment — to support the claim that observation itself changes what is observed, and that intention amplifies this effect.^[1]

Key concepts

• Clairvoyant reading — An intensive meditation practice involving focused visualization, posing questions to mental images, and waiting for information to arrive about any person or situation, with the information coming from a universal source, telepathic communication, spirit guides, or the target person’s aura.^[1]
• Mental/Emotional Image pictures (MEI pictures) — Filters of perception made up of thoughtforms and feelings that determine how we approach life and relationships, often carrying trauma from past experiences or other incarnations, which act as programs running through the psyche and can manifest as physical disease or pain.^[1]
• Foreign energies — Energies from sources outside oneself (family members, lovers, ancestors, spirits, other entities) that merge with one’s energy field and profoundly influence physical, mental, and emotional health, traveling through cord-like connections and determining one’s level of personal freedom and power.^[1]
• Clairsentience — The psychic ability to feel others’ emotions and physical sensations as one’s own, which naturally emerges when utilizing clairvoyance.^[1]
• Growth period — A phase of rapid personal transformation triggered by psychic development work, during which one’s previous belief structure collapses before a new one forms, creating a gap that can feel terrifying but represents a powerful opportunity for change.^[1]
• Resistance — Anything that keeps one separate from one’s abilities, inner voice, or self-affinity, rooted in fear and often confused with intuition because fear sensations originate in the third chakra (gut).^[1]

Evidence marshaled

The book draws primarily on the author’s twelve years of professional practice, including thousands of client readings and observations of recurring patterns in energy dynamics and illness.^[1] Katz cites specific demonstration cases, such as the Los Angeles expo training where novice readers independently perceived identical images (a woman singing at a microphone, suitcases, beach resort in Mexico) that the volunteer confirmed as accurate for her upcoming Cancun performance.^[1] Another demonstration involved readers spontaneously experiencing strong emotional reactions and tears before receiving images indicating the volunteer had recently lost multiple family members, which she confirmed.^[1]

The book references quantum physics research to support claims about observation affecting reality, specifically citing Russell Targ and Harold Puthoff’s Mind-Reach, Dean Radin‘s The Conscious Universe and Entangled Minds, and Lynne McTaggart’s The Field and The Intention Experiment.^[1] Katz also draws on Carolyn Myss’s Anatomy of the Spirit and her audiotape series Why People Don’t Heal and Three Levels of Power for connections between ailments and energy dynamics.^[1] The author mentions correspondence with a reader of You Are Psychic who completed one hundred clairvoyant sessions independently, reading neighbors and strangers in online chat rooms.^[1]

Significance

The book represents a practitioner-oriented approach to psychic development that emphasizes systematic training over spontaneous experience or innate talent.^[1] By providing detailed protocols for clairvoyant reading and healing, and by framing psychic ability as a learnable skill comparable to learning a language or musical instrument, the work challenges the scarcity model that treats psychic functioning as rare or exceptional.^[1] Katz’s emphasis on the mutual transformation that occurs during readings — with the reader working through their own matching issues while reading a client — positions clairvoyant practice as a form of self-therapy and personal development rather than merely a service provided to others.^[1]

The author’s professional background includes founding the International School of Clairvoyance and later co-founding the IRVA Research Unit with Dale Graff, as well as conducting systematic research on remote viewing target materials and associative remote viewing protocols. This positions the book within a broader trajectory of work bridging experiential training and formal research in parapsychology.
