We
all have psychic abilities. For many people this ability
is dormant or asleep. It’s a bit like the person who
sits at a piano for the first time and discovers that
they have a natural talent for music. The ability was
always present it just takes the right circumstances
for the talent to become apparent. Most of us have times
in our lives when we notice something at work that can
be considered psychic.
Usually this psychic ability is in the form of intuition,
hunches or gut responses that seem to defy reason or
logic. These uncanny hunches and sudden insights can
sometimes leave us feeling bewildered, but the truth
is that they are a perfectly natural ability. And like
any other talent, psychic abilities can be trained and
perfected.
There are any number of tools and methods available
to the psychic any or all of which may help to increase
or focus intuitive skills. Most psychics use some form
of meditation to enter a frame of mind that heightens
intuitive awareness. Some read palms or tea leaves,
tarot cards or rune stones or use a crystal ball; some
may involve intricate rituals. Regardless of the tools
used to assist a psychic reading they each serve to
aid the psychic in entering a form of focused meditation
which greatly enhances the natural intuitive sense.
Focused meditation provides the frame of mind that is
most receptive to intuitive information. Meditation
quiets the mind, filters out the noise and chatter of
the conscious. This filtering of conscious noise allows
the sub-conscious mind to voice its thoughts, as well
as enable the mind to tune in to the environment. Some
have called this a heightened state of awareness or
altered consciousness. The attention is drawn inward
with a kind of detached awareness. Developing your ability
to enter into this heightened state of mind plays the
important role in increasing your intuitive senses.
If you’re unfamiliar with the practice of meditation
then the following exercise should help to gain a better
understanding of the methods used. This exercise focuses
on breathing and visualization. Controlled breathing
provides an area of immediate connection with the mind
and body and also increases the supply of oxygen to
the brain. Begin by finding a comfortable place to perform
your meditation. This can be any place of your choosing,
provided that you find it comfortable and relaxing.
It is not required for you to sit, though you may, if
you choose. Many people find it difficult to sit still
for any length of time. Standing or even walking slowly
is perfectly acceptable for the sake of this exercise.
Focus your attention on your breathing.
Notice the air as it enters your body. Try to breathe
in through your nose and exhale through your mouth.
Take slow, deep breaths. Inhale slowly through your
nose and hold the breath in for nine seconds, then exhale
slowly for another nine seconds, count out the seconds
steadily, not rushed and not sluggish, try to find a
pace that feels comfortable, just remember to relax
your breathing. Inhale for nine seconds, exhale for
nine seconds, and repeat this process nine times.
With every breath, imagine that you are inhaling precious
life giving air and exhaling any unwanted energies.
After you have repeated this cycle nine times you can
begin your visualization. Try to maintain the rhythm
of your breathing without counting it out in your head.
At this point you may notice random thoughts popping
into your head, simply dismiss them as they enter your
mind, let them slip away easily. Imagine that you are
walking across a dry and sandy landscape. The temperature
is comfortable, the air is easy to breath and you feel
at ease.
As you walk along you notice a shape on the horizon.
As you near the shape you see that it is a stone building,
a round, stone building with a single door. You are
facing the door and now you see that this door is slightly
open and a light is coming from inside. Now, you are
standing at the door and decide to push the door open.
You open the door and enter the stone building. Inside
you see a round room with a table in the centre. The
room is well lit, warm and comfortable. You approach
the table and notice a small wooden box, paper and a
pen.
You form a question in your mind that you would like
answered, an issue that you would like resolved, it
does not take you any time to form this question. You
write this question on the paper before you and place
the paper in the box. You see the box has a lid and
you close it. After a moment you open the box, you see
that the question is no longer written there, instead
an answer has appeared.
You take the answer with you as you leave the building
and return to your present space. You may see immediate
results with this exercise or it may take several attempts
before the answers found within the box make any sense
to you.
Over time this visualization becomes much easier to
enter into and you may be tempted to treat this exercise
as some sort of oracle. This is not the true intention.
Instead what we are trying to accomplish is entering
into the receptive mode of meditation that was spoken
of earlier.
The easier it is to enter into this state the more likely
it is that you will become tuned into receiving intuitive
information.
