PassageWays is an exciting and fresh read. Autobiographical and informational, the timeline is nonlinear, inviting readers to explore their own journeys as the author shares hers. Freedson provides clear instructions for recognizing an inner light and developing one’s psychic dimension. Near the book's conclusion, Freedson outlines ways to access forces of the psychic mind, offers experiential exercises and short scripts, and defines terms relevant to this dimension. This unique book is a must-read for anyone curious about the paranormal or wanting to develop intuitive skills.

For the psychically available, Bette Freedson’s PassageWays is an invitation to a concert that is both classical and contemporary, graceful and powerful.
Open the book and immediately enter the mysterious realm of what resides within. Freedson shows us how to accept and utilize the power of this intuitive dimension, which is often beyond our “logic” or conscious awareness but always there. Throughout her narrative, Freedson assumes our potential for deep knowing, deftly taking us beneath her storyline along the subtle trajectory of her intuitive path, inspiring us to trust our own.
