Develop Your Psychic Abilities

So if everyone is psychic, there must be some way to harness and sharpen this power right? Of course there is.

This page will give you a short but solid overview of things you can do to explore your personal psychic talents. Even if you don't believe you have any psychic ability, if you put a sincere effort into these suggestions for even a few weeks we believe you will notice definite progress.

Whether or not humans have always lived in the state of mind we experience today is unknown. In a way it's difficult to imagine the detached confusion most people call awareness as being the natural human state. However this is not relevant.

The important point is we can raise our level of consciousness and improve our awareness far beyond our current state. Quest for psychic ability aside this is a goal definitely worthy of your effort.

Lifting The Fog

Most people today walk around in a cloud. Everything is on autopilot and their minds are totally in a state of delusion where they spend all their energy focused on a past that is forever gone or a future that hasn't happened yet.

The key to enhanced awareness is living in the moment and being fully present in what is happening right now.

Start immediately! You don't need to learn any complex techniques to begin, just start paying attention to your life as it happens, in the moment.

Be aware of the sensation of sitting in your chair. Be aware of your hand on the mouse. Be aware of things you see and hear around you. Stay here and now as much as you can.

This will require a good deal of focus on your part because your mind is going to drift back into the fog after only a few seconds. That's ok because your only job is to get back to now every time you realize you've slipped.

Over time you will begin to develop a real awareness of the present world around you. From here you'll open up an amazing new world of possibilities.

Basic Meditation To Focus Your Mind

Beyond the basic practice of everyday awareness we strongly urge you to begin a relaxed program of meditation. This does not involve any sort of mystical, hocus-pocus style chanting or other "far out" activity. Meditation is usually nothing more than patient observation and/or focused consciousness.

There are numerous styles of meditation, and a variety of different exercises. We encourage you to find something that fits well with your beliefs and personality and to explore this without pressure or anxious expectation.

The most basic form of meditation is a simple breathing exercise that can improve your focus, decrease stress, and have a positive impact on your blood pressure and cardiovascular health. Here is a basic overview of this form of meditation:*

1. Find a comfortable position sitting, standing, or lying down.
2. Be sure your back is as straight as possible without straining.
3. Let the tension fall out of your neck, shoulders, and hips.
4. Relax the rest of your body and feel your weight sink beneath you.
5. Begin by breathing out slowly and evenly until your lungs stop on their own.
6. Inhale deeply, imagining you are pulling the breath from your lower lungs.
7. Don't force or strain your breath at any time, just inhale until you feel "full".
8. Hold the breath for a few seconds until it feels right to breathe out.
9. Empty your lungs slowly and evenly, as if from the top to the bottom.
10. Let your lungs sit empty for just a second before repeating the process.

Do this exercise daily for as little as three minutes at a time (surely you can spare 3 minutes!) and you'll see real results within a short time!

And you can take basic meditation to the next level by learning about the chakra system.

If you have any current heart or lung problems, or if you're diabetic you should consult a physician before engaging in any deep breathing exercise.

Learn To Listen To Your Intuition

As you begin to practice your awareness, and to develop greater focus, you need to start listening to your intuitive voice. This is just an expression, and we are not implying that you will actually hear a voice (thought it's ok if you do).

Often when people receive intuition it is in the form of mind pictures, body sensations, or pure knowledge. It's not really important how your intuition speaks to you, only that you begin to recognize it when it does.

Most of the time we know what action to take, and we know the answer to a specific problem. But we tend to cloud the issue by over thinking it and fretting that we might make the wrong decision.

The key to peace of mind and a happy life, in many ways, is trusting ourselves and following our true intuition. So please decide now that you will seek out the inner voice that compels you toward the right action for you.

Practice sitting quietly when there is a choice to make and observing what thoughts, feelings, images, etc. come to mind naturally and without worry. Many times such experiences are our intuition leading us.

This might take some time and patience on your part but you will discover your intuition if you persist. The good news is we all have this capacity so you really can't fail.

Believing Is Seeing

We should point out here that if you don't want to find your intuition or your psychic talents, you probably won't. Does this mean they aren't real?

Perhaps, in the same way philosophers would argue the chair isn't really there if you believe it not to be.

By the same token those who believe the chair is there have a nice place to sit down. Believe you will develop your psychic talents and you'll open up a whole new world wherein you won't have to worry about whether or not your decisions or sound, or if people like you or not.

Reality is not a matter of what is taught in school or broadcast on the evening news. Quite often that which is real and true is completely different, if not opposite, of what passes for "information" in our education and media systems. The bottom line is you are in charge of what is real for you, whether you like it or not.
