Step
1 to Developing Your Psychic Side: Recognize You Have
One
In our current culture we tend to think of psychid
awareness as being extraordinary. Psychic is
defined in the dictionary as "abilities, faculties
or phenomena that are apparently inexplicable by natural
laws, especially involving telepathy or clairvoyance."
In the thesaururs under "psychic," similar
words are: supernatural, paranormal, supernormal,
preternatural, metaphysical, extrasensory, magic, marical,
mystical, mystic, occult. This would lead one to
believe that being psychic is extraordinary, and it
supports the image of the gypsy fortune teller or celebrity
psychic as being the bearer of these magical gifts.This
belief contributes to our stereotyped definition of
who has psychic ability and who does not.
You Already Have Psychic Abilities
In daily life we often use psychic abilities but don't
recognize them as such. We are each equipped with
the innate capacity to use any number of psychic abilities
on a daily basis. Many of us have had the experience
of thinking of someone, and they call. This is called
telepathy - the sending or receiving
of thought messages without speaking. Often we have
a distinct feeling abut something or someone before
an event takes place. We call this intuition.
In children as well as adults a common psychic ability
is called empathy or being empathetic.
This is a person who is aware of other's feelings and
mental state of being. This often begins as a young
child with an actute awareness of their parent's feelings
or mental disposition.
In addition to the more common psychic abilities there
are the less frequently used abilities of clear seeiing
(clairvoyance) and clear hearing (clairaudience).
These abilities often open naturally in deep meditation,
prayer, shamanic journeying and other spiritual practices,
allowing the recipient an extraordinary view of life.
The same opening can occur using a series of psychic
exercises, many of which were developed at the Berkeley
Psychic Institute in the 1970s.
I'm often asked what kind of people are attracted to
psychic training. I've trained people from age 17-65:
professionals, artists, healers and moms. The common
quality is that they have a curiosity about their psychic
ability and innate knowing. They seek more awareness
and insight into themselves and others.
How to Develop Your Psychic
Abilities Further
If you're curious about increasing your psychic abilities
and intuition, I encourage you to find a qualified teacher
or guide. It's recommended to open up these capacities
in a safe container or environment. the Berkeley Psychis
Institute is a rich resource with multiple locations
in California. Most major cities now have a Psychic
Center or Intuitive Healing Center. Investigate until
you find a teacher and method that you feel comofrtable
with. the journey to developing your psychic capacity
can be a fascinating journey of self-healing, discovery,
and yes, a bit of magic too!
