HOW TO DEVELOP YOUR OWN
PSYCHIC ABILITIES TO IMPROVE YOUR LIFE
|
Everyone is psychic. Some people are more so than others
and every one of us possesses this ability. You do. I do. And we can further develop, train, and direct,
what we already possess. . . expand our psychic potential until every measure of our lives is vastly
improved. Psychic abilities are practical and usable. This is true because psychic abilities are merely
extensions of faculties normal to us. For instance, clairvoyance extends the ability to see, clairaudience
extends the ability to hear, telepathy - the ability to communicate, precognition - our sensing faculties, deja
vu - past memory recall. Every psychic ability you've ever heard of is but an enhanced version of what
is normal and typical for each member of the human race. What does it take to extend our faculties? First and foremost, a positive attitude. . . plus the
ability to relax and imagine and trust. Faculty extensions (what most people refer to as
"psychic abilities) allow us to access multiple layers of information, and sometimes simultaneously. And they
enable us to reach that wellspring of inner knowingness which resides in the deeper depths of our
being. Our intent, that directive force of our attitudes and
beliefs, determines the type of results we can achieve once we accept our psychic potential and begin the
process of developing this inner resource. As with any other talent, practice makes perfect - use
establishes value. You may notice that the process of extending faculties
normal to you has a special "feel" to it. This feeling signals the coming together of your head and your
heart. When the energy of head and heart join and function as one unit, all aspects of yourself unite
as if teammates working for the same goal. Amazing things occur when this happens. You become
healthier, happier, more loving and patient, wiser, and you attract more friends and exciting opportunities.
Literally, to be alive, truly alive, is to be psychic. Developing your innate psychic abilities is one of the
best investments you can make in creating a better future for yourself. The fact that you are reading this
article tells me you are ready to take this positive step forward. So let's begin - right now! What follows are the four basics necessary to improve and
expand your psychic potential. They are: a positive attitude, the ability to relax, imagine, and
trust. Simple explanations and easy exercises are provided. |
|
A POSITIVE ATTITUDE: Research has consistently shown that a positive state of
mind automatically increases your psychic abilities. The more positive and enthusiastic you are,
the more your faculties will stretch beyond any limitations you may have thought you had. Negative
thinking or excessive skepticism (some skepticism is desirable), will impede this process or block it
altogether. To insure that you remain in a positive frame of mind,
read uplifting and inspirational literature, at least a few pages, each morning before you go to work or begin
your day's activities. This starts you out on the right foot, and helps you to maintain a sense of
objectivity as the day progresses. Also use affirmations. Post them at eye level in your
home; an especially good place is around or on your bathroom mirror. Make certain your affirmations can
readily be seen, and that includes in your car and at work. Most bookstores and gift shops sell a broad range
of such eye-catchers, or you can make your own. Try affirmations such as these: "Every day and in every way, I am getting better and
better; I am becoming more and more." "I am peace. I am love. I am joy." "Health and wealth are my birthright, success my
tool, kindness my standard." "I am beautiful and loved RIGHT NOW, for I accept
and express the goodness which resides within me." By noticing affirmations like these posted throughout
your environment, your spirits will perk up; smiles will replace frowns. Incredible as it may seem, what you
affirm on a regular basis often manifests in your life. |

THE
ABILITY TO RELAX: The more thoroughly you can relax while remaining
consciously alert,the quicker you can unleash your heart's ability to feel and your mind's ability to create
- hence, your psychic potential. Relaxation alters your state of consiousness. The deeper
the relaxation, the more benefits you receive. As your brain decreases the speed of its brain waves,
breathing slows from the normal twelve breaths per minute to about six, for the average person. When this
happens your body uses less oxygen, thus enabling your metabolic rate to lower. The result?
Tension and stress melt away. Cellular repair and new growth accelerate, as your body uses this opportunity to
rid itself of toxins. Relaxation also fosters patience and understanding. It
gives you the "time out" you need to wind down from the day's many activities and switch into
"neutral" - that wonderful, non-judgmental state where all things are possible, and you can feel good about
yourself. Here's a way to relax that is quite effective: Sit in a comfortable chair, with both feet flat on the
floor, legs parallel to each other, spine straight. Your head will automatically balance itself on your neck,
as if cradled by your spine - thus a head rest on the chair is unnecessary. Shoulders and arms
simply hang loose, as your hands lie effortlessly atop your legs - or to one side. Eyes are
closed. Breathe slowly and deeply, allowing your abdomen to fill
to capacity with air. Establish a breathing rhythm. With each inhalation affirm that you
are protected and whole, and that all is well. With each exhalation, affirm that all tension and stress,
problems and concerns, are released. Move your consciousness to each area of your body, one
section at a time, beginning with your feet and ankles. In your mind's eye, envision your feet
and ankles at peace and completely resting. Continue to move your consciousness, this time to the
area of your lower legs, knees, upper legs, and hips - relaxing each member as you do. Affirm
complete and total peace for all. Now travel in consciousness to the trunk of your body,
its many organs and functions. In your mind's eye, focus on each section as you affirm the
reality of its perfect peace, perfect rest. Next, become aware of your chest, back, shoulders, arms,
elbows, wrists, and hands. Clearly focus on each member, knowing that it is resting and at peace. Your neck, head, face, and brain are now totally relaxed
as well. Know that this is so. Feel it. Affirm the peace that you are. While you drift in the joy of being completely relaxed,
be aware that at some special spot within you is located your center - the very center of your being. Move
your consciousness to that spot. Go there now. You know your center. You recognize the place. It is that
part of you still connected to the purity that is God, the oneness of all creation. Your center is a place
of radiance, of perfect love, perfect joy, perfect peace, perfect knowing. Just be there. Be in your center,
safe and warm, secure in the knowledge that you are wonderful, and that you have the right to be who you
are. For you are an expression of God's blessings, part of The Great Spirit and A Greater Plan
for All Creation. When it feels right to leave your center and return to
full conscious awareness, do so slowly, in steps, knowing that at the count of three you will be wide awake
and ready to resume your day. Counting one. . . affirm that every part of your being is healed and
whole. Counting two. . . feel surges of energy refreshing and reinvigorating your body. And counting
three. . . eyes open; you are alert, joyful and happy. |

THE
ABILITY TO IMAGINE: The faculty of imagination is just as important to your
health and well being as any other faculty you possess. Your imagination enables you to visualize
possibilities, to act out in your mind and rehearse before you physically perform any given task. Athletes
use this ability to great advantage, for it enables them to practice and prepare, over and over again, before
they ever move a muscle or take a step. Artists of any kind also find this ability invaluable, since it
is on the "canvas" of their imaginations that they initially splash their "paint" and explore the
mystery of form. In science and in math, the imaginative faculty is what often proves to be the final connecting
link, enabling problems to be solved that were formerly unsolvable. Einstein fully credits his
imagination with producing the actual formula of E equals MC squared - the theory of relativity - that
revolutionized the entire world of rational thought and scientific inquiry. To exercise this incredible storehouse of invention and
fun, create fanciful daydreams for yourself. Let your mind run wild. Don't try to make sense of anything.
Just play. Pretend you are a child again, and see how creative you can be. Daydreaming helps you to
visualize storylines. To hone this ability, to discipline the imaginative
process, train yourself to visualize carefully and in great detail. For example, place an apple on the table in
front of you. Look at the apple. Note its contours, blemishes, features. Now close your eyes. Can you still
see the apple? Does it look like it did when your eyes were open? Are there differences? Open your eyes and
compare the real apple with the apple you saw in your mind's eye. Try again. Practice holding the
image inside your head, until what exists in your imagination exactly matches what exists on the table in
front of you. Practice with other items, even walk through unfamiliar environments, using the same
technique, until you can visualize in your mind what you see with your eyes - with the same exact detail.
Eventually your mind will catch on, and you will be able to imagine anything you want without ever having
physically seen the item first. Expand this ability to include smell, taste, sounds, textures, and feelings.
The better you can imagine, the more psychic you can become. It all begins with the innocence of belief
and the child-like desire to play. |

TRUST: The root word of "psychic" means
"soul." Thus, psychic abilities are really soul abilities. The
"gifts of spirit" you hear so much about are no different than
psychic abilities. These gifts and talents differ only in the label you apply to them, in how they are used, and
what for. Because it is so easy for thoughts of greed and selfishness to distort such gifts and talents,
it is wise for all of us to remember this simple truth - we are not the author of the greatness which exists
within us. The power of our being, the gifts and talents we possess, are merely on loan from The One
Power, The Creator of All Things, the God within who doeth the work. Give the credit where it belongs. It has been said that "God can do no more for you
than through you." This is true. We supply the "elbow grease," the initial effort. The rest unfolds in
ways both magical and miraculous. That initial effort is based on our choice, our freedom to decide. As our free
will is inviolate, so is everyone else's. No one has the right to interfere with or try to control the
life of another. This is a universal law based on the sacredness of individual choice. The only person you can ever change is yourself. The only
things you can ever really control are your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Put your trust in the divinity of being and in your
God-given right to improve yourself; strive to be all that you can be. You may want to investigate and learn various methods of
how to meditate and pray affirmatively. Both skills are invaluable assets for a successful and
satisfying life. |

WAYS
TO USE YOUR PSYCHIC ABILITIES: Give yourself fifteen to twenty minutes each day to
practice the techniques presented in this article. Pick a time of day and a particular place in your residence
where you can be alone without being disturbed. If you live with other people, politely request that no one interrupt
you during your special periods of silence. Unplug your phone. Turn off the radio and
television set. Practice what you have learned thus far until your state of mind improves, and it is easier for
you to relax, imagine, and feel comfortable with issues of trust and faith. After you have been doing this for awhile, test yourself.
How quickly can you relax and still receive full benefit? Can you form clear images in your mind by simply
deciding to, instantly? How confident are you of your ability to improve your life, to be all that
you can be? Are you willing to trust your inner guidance? Are you willing to trust yourself? Are you
willing to love yourself? Look in a mirror. See the eyes of perfection looking
back. Say to your face in the mirror - "I love you. I appreciate you. I forgive you of any mistakes you have
ever made. Today is a new day. The past is gone. I choose to begin anew, better, wiser, kinder than
before. I choose the path of excellence because I am unlimited in how wonderful and productive and creative I
can be. I treat others as I want to be treated. I respect the rights of others, and I choose to respect
myself. I am grateful for my life, my health, and my intelligence." When you resume activities, after your period of silent
relaxation, notice the objects around you. Allow your vision to slip lightly past the first object you
see, almost as if you were beginning to see double. Do you see anything unusual? Look again. Eventually you will
begin to notice a white misty band of energy around the object, usually an inch wide, some times
wider. Scan the room you're in. If you are still relaxed, you may notice that everything in your room has
this same band of light surrounding its surface. This is an aura. Everything that exists has an aura; people, animals,
objects, plants, the land. That misty band of light you see is caused by the speed that in individual or object
is vibrating, and by their temperature and degree of consciousness. Many times, especially around people, the
aura will be colored and have designs in it, such as rays or spirals. Artists throughout history have
painted auric bands around the heads of wise leaders and saints, as a way to depict holiness. But the
fact is, everyone and every thing has an aura - some larger than others. To test this, invite a few wall that is white or lightly
colored. Remove all decorations so you have a blank surface. Dim the lights. Have one person stand with his
or her back to the wall, looking straight ahead. This person should take a few deep, quick breaths to
increase air capacity, and relax, empty of thought or expectation. The other people should stand at least
half-a-room away from the person in front of the wall. When looking, allow your gaze to slip slightly past the
individual, as if you are seeing double. Does an aura appear? Most people will see a white glow around the
individual almost immediately. Some will see colors. Others will see designs in the colors. Have the
individual in front of the wall move his or her consciousness to the left, then right, then high up near
the ceiling. (This is done by the person deciding to; thinking makes it so.) Does that person's aura change
location as his or her consciousness moves around? Most people will see this, especially after
practicing for awhile. Don't try too hard, though, as too much efforting actually blocks your ability to see an
aura. Once you are able to see auras in dim light, you can begin to train yourself to see them in full
light. Tell yourself you can do it and you can. Trust the process. It works. Find books about auras and read what is known about
possible meanings to the colors and designs. Each color or hue seems to be reflective of how an individual
feels, including moods and basic personality. Large, expansive auras of bright, clear colors are
usually found around people with a lot of strength and charisma, and who are healthy. Training yourself to see
auras can be a beneficial extra, especially if you are in the healing profession or work in sales and
promotion. Open your hands, bend your fingers somewhat, and bring
both of your hands together, stopping just before the fingers of both hands touch each other. Relax,
and blank your mind of thought. Can you feel anything between the palms of your hands? Is there any
heat or energy movement pre sent between your finger tips? If you feel nothing, rub your hands together
rapidly until you create some static electricity. Now, repeat the exercise. Bring your hands and fingers
almost together, but not quite. Do you feel anything this time? Most people will feel something akin
to a body of energy or a presence between the hands and fingers. Some recognize that this energy or
presence is elastic, and that they can stretch it as they slowly move their hands further apart. The body of
energy you feel is the power of your auric field. You can see the aura, as in the exercise you did before
this; or you can touch it, in this simple hand demonstration. While you're looking for books on the
aura, search also for books on healing hands, touch for health, or working within the auric field. Once you
train yourself to sense and see this energy, there is no limit to what you can accomplish once you put the
skill to use. For instance, staying about three inches away from a
person's body, you can glide your open hands through the air around that person, moving down the body
to relax the individual, and moving up the body to energize the individual, until you have massaged
the entire auric field of the person involved. Historically, this kind of sharing, of helping another to
feel more comfortable and cared for, was reserved only for religious or spiritual rituals, and practiced
during services dedicated to healing. Now this type of knowledge is universal, and anyone who wishes to can
practice the skill. The effectiveness of this gentle technique is incredible! When distraught, confused, or nervous, use the relaxation
technique given earlier (when you put your consciousness in your center). This time, once you have
aligned yourself with your center, remain there for awhile, affirming and knowing that Divine Order is in
effect, that you will be guided to take the right step and do the right thing that is the most appropriate
for your highest good and the highest good of all concerned, when full consciousness returns. This is all
you need to affirm. Be in your center, that place of perfection and wholeness. Relax and be. Invariably,
once you are alert again, you will be guided or inspired in a positive way and any confusion you once had
will either lessen or disappear. Train yourself to reach your center without much effort. A few deep
breaths should be enough to free your mind from its present state, and take you there. Relaxation is the
key. Intent is what makes it happen. I know a man who built his entire house using this
technique. Knowing basic construction methods and with a few how-to books handy, this is what he did - each
time he needed advice, he would clearly and in detail outline his problem within his mind's eye, and
propose a question. Then he would sit down, take a few deep breaths, relax, blank his mind, and align his
consciousness with the center of his being. His, yours, mine, everyone's center is THE CENTER OF ALL
KNOWINGNESS, all power, all wisdom, all perfection. And we can go there whenever we need aid or
advice or assistance at any time, no matter where we are. When this man returned to his wide awake,
alert state, he took the first thing that popped in his mind and actually did it. His finished house is one
of the most ingenious dwellings I have seen, a tribute to the power we all have within us, if we would
but tap into that wellspring of knowing within us and discipline ourselves in how to access what is there. One way to clear your residence and your body of any
distracting ener gies or unwanted spirit forms, is the following: relax fully and in your mind's eye imagine
a giant circular disc. This disc is radiantly powerful, unbreakable, and functions as if a screen or
sieve. Envision that this huge radiant disc is located in the ground below your residence, and that it
is large enough to fully encompass your entire property. Now, slowly lift this disc with your mind (you
do it by deciding to); silently tell it to lift. As it does, see and know that all discordant and distracting en
ergies are caught in its sieve-like screen, and are removed from your environment and from your body.
Continue to see the disc lift higher and higher, until it has passed through your residence, your body,
all objects, air space, walls, floors and ceilings, until it dissolves in the upper stratosphere, leaving no
trace of any essence, spirit-form, or substance caught in it. Your environment is now clean and cleansed,
and so are you. If you feel the need, repeat this exercise two more times. Open a few windows to let the
air circulate freely. Place a house plant or bouquet of flowers in a central location to add that
final touch of freshness and beauty. The circular disc technique is an example of using
creative storylines (like when you practiced how to daydream), that can have an immediate and positive impact
on your life. Another example of this is when you are about to have surgery. In a relaxed state,
prepare your body for what is about to happen. Envision all parts of your body, each cell, listening to you and
paying attention. Explain the surgery in detail, illustrating in your mind's eye that only what medication
is needed will be utilized, and anything else will be immediately flushed out of your system. Show your body
how appropriate this surgery is, and how much better it will be able to perform once it has
healed. Affirm Divine Order, that all medical personnel will accomplish their tasks ably and efficiently and
without difficulty. When the surgery is over, rehearse any movement you might
make in your mind first, and in detail, before you actually do it. Rolling over, sitting up,
going to the bathroom, eating, bathing, whatever. During your psychic rehearsals, affirm and know that as
each movement and task is made, there will be little or no pain, and you will be able to accomplish
that movement without risk or problem. Make no exceptions. Practice in your mind's eye before you do
anything, all the while imagining a speedy and safe recovery. In most cases, a technique like this will bring
about stunning successes and incredibly rapid healing. Surprise your doctor, try it! Thank you for
reading this article, and for taking the time to do what was suggested. Remember, practice makes perfect. The more
you use your psychic abilities, the broader their range and the greater your accuracy. |
