Tips for Awakening to Your Psychic Potential

Instinct is inherent in all sentient beings. Intuition is an interchangeabledescription for instinct. I believe intuition to be an untrained, unconsciousdemonstration of psychic ability. It is the ability to tap into our higherconsciousness. By learning to utilize our senses we may retrieveinformation within and beyond our present senses. It is possible toengage more use our brain’s sentient ability.
Here are some tips to begin awakening to your inner gifts:
Space Clearing
Your senses are more rested therefore more available when theenvironment around you feels safe with pleasant smells and serenecolors; soothing sounds. It is good to have an uncluttered environmentwith comfortable furnishings decorated with pleasing art and items thathave meaning to you personally. This allows your senses to relax.Learning to relax is one of the first necessary steps to your inner psyche.If your mind is busy with sensory impute you are distracted and can notperceive your senses or thoughts.
In similar fashion as to dust that accumulates in our homes so alsodoes energy from our thoughts and feelings build up in our personalenvironment, vehicles, and workspace. It is best if these energies arecleared on a regular basis. You will find this is beneficial to your healthand soothing to your mind.
There are various methods of energetic clearing. You can use saltwater, rose water, lavender water or a smudge stick (sage bundle). Someprefer incenses such as frankincense or dragon’s blood. Whatever yourchoice, take it throughout your space. Think of a white or pink light fillingthe environment. You can pray or ask for Spirit Guides and Angels toassist you by clearing the environment for you. (It is best to not call ondeceased relatives for this one.)
Meditation
Meditation is the key tool, as through this practice you begin todifferentiate between feelings, thoughts and desires versus a psychic
impression, mystical experience or spiritual wisdom. When you havevisions or insight into an event of the past, present or future, you will wantto be able to interpret what you receive. You will learn the sensitivitynecessary to tell what feelings are yours and what might be coming fromsomeone else around you.
In meditation you will become better acquainted with these diversemessengers. You will learn to differentiate one from the other providingyou more accuracy in your interpretation.
Meditation offers many health improving benefits. Spiritual and psychicdevelopment is a nature side effect of regular practice. Meditation does not have to be complicated or timed to be beneficial.If you are a beginner I would suggest sitting up rather than lying down.Start with sitting for just 2-3 minutes. Set an egg timer or other suchdevise with a pleasant alarm. Start by closing your eyes. Drift inside as you take a nice slow breath inthrough your nose; fill the lungs to capacity, hold for a slow count of three,then exhale from the mouth just allowing the air to release easily andgradually. While you are inhaling think about breathing in a white light ofcleansing and purity. Imagine this light filling every cell of your body asyou inhale. As you exhale think of the light expanding out through youraura nine feet above, below and all around you. Think of it removing allnegativity so that only the energy serving your highest good will remain.All negativity goes into the Earth to be transmuted, cleansed and renewedto be used again in its most positive form. Think of yourself as a tree with roots extending deep into the Earthgrounding and renewing your life-force. Feel the calm healing vibes fillingyour body and aura.
If you have trouble “seeing” then just narrate the story in your mind. Theintent will create the same effect in your brain. Much like a program yourun on your computer. The computer merely reflects what you enter.
Once you have cleared your energy simply focus on your breath. Niceeasy, even flow of breath. You can count the breaths if you like, but countto five then start over again so you do not get tripped up on losing countetc.
The effects of meditation are accumulative and will continue to improve asyou practice.
Practice
As with any endeavor the more you practice the more you learn, the moreimproved you become. Meditation and energetic clearing should be doneeveryday for the best results.
Another practice that will benefit your psychic awareness training is toask questions about things and listen to your inner reactions. What doyou “feel”, “think”, “hear” or “see” with your senses. You might want towrite these thoughts in a journal. As you write often more insight willcome. Be sure to date and time your recordings as it can be helpful toreflect upon your progress.
If at first you don’t succeed try, try again. It will be worth your effort.
Dream Interpretation
The brain doesn’t really speak in language. Learning dream interpretationwill give you the Rosetta stone of your mind’s language. This will helpyou interpret the psychic impressions you receive.
We connect with our psychic abilities through the sensing and feelingside of the brain… not the intellect. Senses, feelings, dreams etc arefrom the right hemisphere of the brain while intellect and reasoning skillsare the left hemisphere. It stands to reason you can not force insight tocome. You can not make it fit a prescribe outcome. You have to learnto stop thinking and allowing yourself to observe your feelings withoutopinion. Give yourself some time to get to know your inner self. Have funexploring your inner terrain of consciousness. Ask questions. Ponder thethings you wish to have a better understanding of.
May your journey begin….
