Psychic Abilities

Develop Your Psychic Abilities

Lately, I have heard of several people taking courses for various things, including developing their psychic ability, which can cost in excess of $1,000 and I felt that I needed to present an opposing viewpoint to paying extreme amounts of money to have someone teach you things you can readily learn by simply going to your local library. To a certain degree, you are paying for the course material, the teacher's time and their research however $1,000 is a lot of money and for those who cannot afford it, there are alternatives.

Just like learning to become a witch, you need to study, read, research, and practice. In the case of psychic abilities, this should be done mainly to determine the definition of what kind of abilities you may have manifested or what abilities you'd like to develop - in other words, you need to come up with a practical plan.

Seems strange to say as so many people have psychic abilities and we think that somehow we should be able to flick a switch and have it all work for us but regrettably, that is not true. Developing psychic abilities is just like learning to read, learning to ride a bicycle, etc., etc., etc. There is no instant fix or solution.

There are several types of psychic abilities and you need to feel out which one resonates with you as not everyone has the exact same abilities. The best way to discover your hidden or dormant ability or abilities is to meditate. Meditation is an excellent tool to help you focus and concentrate - a perfect state of mind to help you develop your psychic abilities as well.

Additionally, check out the books on psychic abilities in your local library or search them out on the Internet. Unlike divination techniques, they require no props to interpret the meaning of… Psychic abilities come from within you.

Some of the terms you might encounter:

ESP - this refers to extrasensory perception which is any perception beyond the traditionally scientifically recognized ones. PSI-this refers to psionic or psychic and is a short term used to describe this ability.

Telepathy - mind-to-mind communication. This can be either images or words. One way to practice this is to recruit a friend who will act as a receiver to receive your messages. It is imperative that the receiver be in a meditative state with no distractions so when the image or words are received, there is no other mental chatter to drown them out or be confused with them.

Precognition {prophecy, second sight, oracle} - knowledge or vision of a future event. It is often felt that this comes from angels or guides but anyone can glimpse into the future of the line on which they walk. You can diverge from that path and many argue that the knowledge, if real, can cause a divergence from the path, rather than a fulfillment of the future glimpsed. This is a harder one to train your mind to do. The best thing again is meditation and allowing images to come - do not try and force what you are looking for or at - allow the images to come. As time passes, you will learn which images were true and which false and then learn what made the true ones different from the false then when that sense or feeling comes with an image of precognition again, you will know its truth.

Clairvoyance, Clairaudience, & Clairsentience - meaning "clear seeing"(voyance), "clear hearing"(audience), and "clear knowledge"(sentience) - are the abilities to see, hear, and know about events regardless of distance, space, and time. Clairvoyance, clairaudience, and clairsentience can see / hear / know past, current, and future events and are usually experienced by a person in the conscious state. To do this with current events is easy as you can meditate, aim for a friend and report back on what they were doing at what time, or what they were thinking or what they were saying. Doing this in to the past also allows for easy of checking and so you can quickly develop this ability. Once you have confidence with this ability into the past or present, you can work on following it in to the future.

Psychometry - the ability to touch an object and "know" its past/history. Psychometry is probably the least studied and experimented with of the "telepathic" types of psychic abilities. To practice with this, again get a friend to give you something they wear always but bought from new and then try and see if you can pick up vibes. As you pick them up, check how they feel to you - each will feel different. When you sense something, ask your friend and it is right, note how it felt inside as you sensed it and the next time an image or feeling fits and if your friend confirms that you have hit on something true again, you'll be well on your way to developing this ability.

As you can see, this is just a brief bit of information on psychic abilities. Go to your local library for more in depth information to help develop and expand your psychic ability.
