Tapping into your Psychic abilities

Like many psychics, I am often asked how I became a psychic, in other words how I came to develop my abilities. People want to know the secret, what’s the magic key in opening these abilities, claimed by so many to lie within all of us. So I thought I’d devote a section to help some of you would be psychics and share some tips I have found useful myself in making that all important connection. Some of these things you may have heard before, others you may have not.

1. De-stress.

I do believe that all of us have some sort of psychic ability, how accessible that ability is, really depends on how we live our lives. The happier, more content we are with ourselves, the easier it will be to receive messages and connect to others. We all know how stress can take a toll on our mental and physical well being, so it’s not surprising how stress can easily block our minds. The best of psychics all have “moments” or even great chunks of time where our connection to the light (spirits, divine, etc.) isn’t as strong as other times. It is that little thing we call life and being human. So I would first start with de-stressing techniques before you can even begin to try and make positive connections to others. You must make time for yourself, wind down and let the issues of your own life go in order to see the messages clearly and without judgement. How can you give divine guidance if you are full of negative energy? Meditation is one way, for those of you who cannot meditate, just sitting down for 10 minutes each day in a quiet space will do to start with. Do anything that makes you feel relaxed and at ease with yourself. (a bath, a quiet room, candles, whatever!) You must imagine all of your daily worries and stresses leaving your body and positive loving light entering your body. Breathe in positive, breathe out negative.

2. Make Time.

In order to get your psychic ability developed, you must make time to use it. Does a doctor learn his trade in a day? Doesn’t every skill take time and practice? Every talent has someone who is a “natural born”, but even someone who is not a natural can learn any skill with time. Being psychic is no different. If you don’t practice you won’t see results. Even if you have no one to read for there are still ways of practicing. If you use a tool (like Tarot, a pendulum, etc.) then make time to use it for yourself, see if you can give yourself guidance for the day. (i.e., what is today’s outlook, is this or that going to work out well for me...etc.) If you are not using a tool, then just ask yourself questions and see what answer you get. (Do this in a quiet space to get more true answers) I would also recommend that you write down or keep a diary of your answers, as this will give you an insight to your progress.

3. Trust Yourself.

The biggest downfall to new psychics is learning to let go of your doubts when reading for others. We find it really awkward to say to someone “I’m getting the image of a woman...holding an apple and a piece of wood?” it sounds so absurd to us, when in fact it could be that person’s loved one whose last name was/is Applewood. You must say what you see, even if you feel silly saying it. I myself have found messages that where completely off the wall, when in fact they made perfect sense to my client. Feelings, visions, or just something that pops in your head are all ways of getting messages, so pay attention to everything you feel during a session. Remember you are allowing yourself to be a messenger; your guides will use several methods to get their point across to you, in ways you may not always be expecting! Yes, you will get it wrong sometimes, and in the beginning, lots of times perhaps, it’s ok don’t dwell on it and move on in the reading. After lots of practise you will begin to realise what is you making assumptions and what are true messages coming through. I found in the beginning of this path, I willed messages, I wanted something to come through and I found myself drawing all kinds of conclusions. Just go with the flow and let it happen naturally.

4. Your body is your Temple, take care of it.

This one, to me, is so important. You will get out of your body and mind what you put into it. If you fill yourself with junk or alcohol on a regular basis, you will not feel good and you will carry a cloudy mind. This isn’t to say you can’t ever drink or that you have to stick to a strict diet, but it is worth taking a good hard (and honest!) look at what you’re eating, drinking and doing to your body. Exercise should also be making way into your life, even if it’s just that you get outdoors and walk a little bit. I know of psychics who perhaps smoke or eat a poor diet and still manage to do good readings, but I often think of how much more they could be getting out of their readings if they took care of their bodies as well. To me they are not living up to their full potential and are denying themselves and their clients. Remember those times when you have woken up from a “night before”, or times when you have binged on junk food or sat in front of the television all day feeling rather sluggish? Could you honestly feel psychic after those things? Having good diet and exercise habits means you are more mentally clear, alert and confident. Would you want to talk to a tired, run down psychic?

5. Call in your guides.

Ask for their guidance and protection, even if you can’t see or hear them at all. They are there, and only wish for some acknowledgement and respect, so thank them for helping you along the way. Begin each reading (or meditation, etc.) with calling upon their assistance and end each reading with a thank you for their help. It doesn’t matter if they don’t show themselves to you, just know that you are getting the spiritual help that they see fit.

6. Use your tools wisely.

If you decide to use a divination tool, such as the Tarot or a pendulum, be sure you cleanse it properly before you use it initially. You want to clear it of all negative energies and share with it some of your own energy in order to get it working for you. The more you use it, the more it becomes yours. It’s important that you properly store it when it’s not in use and respect it as a tool to aid in your divination. Of course, you don’t have to have a tool to develop your abilities, but some people may be drawn to one.

Of course, you may not be able to do all these things at once. But every little change for the positive is one step from where you were before.

So, do I practise what I preach? Of course! I am only including tips that I use myself, things which have helped me in my experience as a psychic.

What ends up putting so many people off on their path to developing is the time it takes to get there. Like any skill, it takes time and a lot of patience, but anyone can do it if you are willing to put your energy in. Take your time and keep on and most of all, keep it positive!

Love & Light,
