Psychic Development An Overview
Submitted by Global Moderator: Evie
ARE YOU PSYCHIC ?
Of course you are ... we all are capable of developing our psychic abilities and all of us have experienced the following:
* Dreams:_ understanding the symbology of our subconscious via our dreamworld.
* Experiencing Love:_ The telepathy that happens between lovers and mothers and their children.
* Prescience_ knowing what is going to happen before it does, whether big or little. For example, the telephone rings and you just know who it is, or you think of someone you haven't seen in a long time and then you see them in the mall.
* First impressions— Sensing in your depths that something isn’t right with a person or situation. Sensing in your depths that something is really, really right with a person or situation.
* Miracle:_ Experiencing a heartfelt question or prayer being answered.
* The creative process:_ especially when it flows during writing, art, music, etc. “The Zone” or “The Flow” when completely engaged in creating.
Maybe You are even clairvoyant?
* Seeing something in your perphial vision... but when you look straight on it is gone ...
* Flashes of light... that go as go quickly as they came. Or shadows.
* Sensing or feeling a presence around you that you can’t physically see with your eyes. (Maybe the hair on the back of your neck stands up) goosebumps or even a comforting touch... on your hand, shoulder.
* Hearing disconnected sounds that don’t seem to be in the here and now. Often this is your name being softly called.
* Smelling scents that don’t seem to be in the here and now.
On GROUNDING & PROTECTION
Everyone has psychic abilities, Sometimes becoming aware of your psychic abilities open channels that have been dormant. A little bit of knowledge can be a dangerous thing. Our engery can easily become drained, or we can unknowingly invite unwanted energies or experiences. Simple meditations like "grounding", "clearing", "protection" and creating a "sacred Space" can do wonders to shield you and assure that you have control during any situation.
Psychic development and spirituality opens up a whole new world as we become aware of new energies we also open our aura to receive more influences, and although this combination spells power it could also be unnerving at times.
In the hustle and bustle of life, grounding is becoming a necessity. Aren’t there times when you feel drained after listening to the problems of another? When the presence of a particular person makes you feel uncomfortable? Sometimes we wonder how we get "sucked" into someones drama. What about those sudden grips of anxiety? Confusion and inabilty to concentrate?... These are a few samples of intrusion into or draining of your energy field/Aura.
There are simple steps to protect your energy from being absorbed by another, which could result in physical, emotional or mental imbalance. Exercise, fresh air, good nutrition, personal hygiene and meditation are the keys to creating balance.
MEDITATIONS:
These are guidelines; please modify to suit your style.
GROUNDING helps in centering and focusing on the body and to live in the present. This process fosters a feeling of stability in moments of insecurity, it offers a calming effect when emotions are running high; it leaves you in peace and in harmony within and with the world around you. Grounding is about gathering together all of your energies - mental, emotional and physical and calming your thoughts and feelings to bring about inner harmony and balance.
METHODS OF GROUNDING
* Sit comfortably and close your eyes.
* Place your hands on your thighs.
* Focus your attention on your body.
* Focus on your breathing.
Imagine that you are surrounded by light. As you breathe in, inhale this light, and feel your body filling with it. As you breathe out, exhale any tension, any pain you may feel in your face, your shoulders, moving down your whole body. Inhale Light & Exhale tension until you are relaxed and calm.
ANOTHER METHOD:
Picture tiny roots coming from the soles of your feet. Feel them growing and growing, all the way down into the Earth . Visualize your roots wriggling deep, deep into the ground, taking hold there and connecting you securely to the centre of the Earth. Now bring your attention to the top of your head, to your crown. Visualize this spot, which is about an inch and a half in diameter, beginning to open. Breathe in both streams of energy up from Earth and down from Heaven. When you are ready, come aware of your body again, of where you are sitting, slowly open your eyes.
CENTERING is a good exercise if you find meditation difficult. Centering will, over a period of time, enable you to select what needs attention both in the everyday world and in decison-making issues, as well as your spiritual development.
METHOD
Inhale slowly and saying a word such as peace, love or harmony, silently on your in-breath so that you extend every syllable,then exhale the word out loud. Repeat this at least 8 times and you will be centered.
Any psychic work you do, any emotional trauma, will make you ungrounded again. This practice is something you must make part of your lifestyle.
PROTECTION Firstly and most importantly - keep thinking positively. Do not give way to negative thoughts and influences when dealing with Spirit. Easily said perhaps, but a good loving and positive attitude makes you pretty much invincible!! Here are some methods that only take a few minutes to do and can be done as many times a day as you feel a need. Know that you have the power to protect yourself. Don't forget it!
* Shield of Light Close your eyes and circle an imaginary ring of pure, white light about six inches over the head, then quarter with a cross (there are other symbols that will work just as well but for most western mediums the cross has most meaning and protective ability). From this cross in a circle of light draw down over the head and body a protective sheath of shining white light, that ends under the feet. This should then be joined under the feet.
I have heard it described like fitting a sack or sleeping bag over you and then tying it up.
* Orb of Light This can easily be combined with the method above. Image an orb of white (or blue if this seems more effective) light hovering and sending out rays of light about 9 inches to a foot above the crown of the head. Some people link this to the head or third eye with strand of light.
* Pulsating Light Defense ((((My favorite... Incredibly powerful)))) Imagine the whole body as a dynamo able to produce pulses of intense white (or blue) light. Then image these pulses being transmitted (rather like the old BBC transmitter adverts) into the ether. Concentrate on these pulses and send them out rapidly and strongly.
* Mirrors Another way to shield is after you have visualized being encapsulated in the White Light, envision a circle of mirrors around that facing outward. Do not visualize these mirrors reflecting the negativity BACK to whomever it came from but rather upwards towards the heavens to be dissipated.
* The Golden Cross This effective as a way of distinguishing "good" and "deceptive/bad" spirits. The symbolism works or whether and serves as a way to concentrate and better distinguish their nature. As you sense the spirit form concerned, mentally hang a golden cross (other potent symbols may serve just as well) with a golden chain round its neck. Spirits that you do not want do not seem able to stand this and will often flee. Better spirits will seem enhanced.
