Everyone has gifts.
The level to which we can access and utilize them is another matter.
Our psychic abilities are alot like other gifts, such as the gift of
music, song, skills in sports, or business acumen, in that you have to
practice and learn about it in order to hone your skills.
While
some people are born with the ability to know and see far beyond what
most of us are able to, we shouldn't get discouraged by the ease with
which they access their gifts.
Some people are born
with this door more open, but some people are born as business prodigies
and musical virtuosos, as well. That doesn't mean that we shouldn't
work on learning the instrument of our choice. Most people don't have
innate ability when it comes to their successes.
It turns out, that most, if not all people, had to work hard to get what they achieved.
So,
what are the steps to accessing this knowledge? This will range from
person to person, but it certainly will begin with awareness of
yourself. If you are running from point A to point B, never taking a
second to care for or inquire deeper about yourself- then you likely
aren't developing the awareness to hear beyond your inner monologue.
The
first thing you have to do to receive an answer is to ask a question.
If you aren't questioning, than this is your first mistake.
Here are a few steps to beginning to open to your own psychic abilities:
1. Set aside time dedicated to yourself and to increasing your inner awareness.
For
most people, psychic thoughts and feelings will come from inside as a
intuitive "lurch," not in a movie-eque way with visions and involved
dream sequences, although this may happen with time! (Hey, anything is
possible so don't discount it..)
2. During this time, close your eyes and really go within.
Begin
to play with your other senses. See how far you can hear into the
distance. Put a series of objects in front of you and use your fingers
to trace and explore them, use your sense of smell and taste to explore
your environment. Question yourself about what are sensing. What do
you notice that you hadn't noticed with your eyes open?
3. Exercise.
Our
mind is more rested and more open when our body is tired. So many
people spend their days at the desk and then go home to flop on the
couch. Despite the exhaustion many of us feel at the end of the day,
our body has unexpressed energy that it is holding onto; maybe it's
frustration from an interaction with a co-worker or excitement over a
promising deal; whatever it is, releasing is necessary. Some
suggestions include joining a sports league, doing yoga, dropping into a
dance class, or hiking. Whatever way you enjoy using your body, make
time to do it.
4. Begin to question when you want to know something.
Start
with small things. Where is there a parking spot? What time will my
wife be back? etc. etc. See if you can begin to get answers to some of
these questions. You'll find the more you do this consciously, the
easier it is to question subconsciously and start to get answers to the
questions you are asking.
5. Consciously note your predictions and intuitive feelings when they come true.
It's
almost like a stream that starts as a trickle and begins to gain
momentum. Become aware and consciously make note of when when you are
using your abilities. This is a good way to better understand when a
thought is your intuition knocking or when it is something that's been
generated from your thoughts, feelings, wishes or fears. Being an
"active antenna" also makes it more likely that messages will be sent
your way. People tend not to send mail to an address that isn't
checking the mailbox!
6. Recognize the intersection of manifestation and psychic ability.
We
all also have the power to manifest what we want. The intersection
between manifestation and psychic predictions can be confusing. Did
that thing happen because I wanted or feared it was going to happen or
because I knew it would and it was inevitable? Much of our lives are
created by us and our thoughts and feelings. Begin to play with the
idea of creating your future from your desires. Set intentions and
create goals and action plans. You may be surprised to see that this
helps you to tap into your abilities, to foresee possible pitfalls,
recognize when a person is an ally that can assist you, and attract more
fortuitous coincidences.
Using these tips and practicing
everyday will begin to open you up to the amazing amount of information
that is bouncing around at any given moment. Make sure you protect yourself when you begin to play with your psychic abilities in the white light of love and protection.
You want to surround your aura with a golden net to keep out negative
energy. Being more sensitive is wonderful, but you want to make sure
you are only letting positivity and light into your sphere.
Have fun! Let us know your results!
