The development of your psychic abilities begins and ends with your awareness. What you are aware of and why, is the founding cornerstone to how you perceive the world around you. Perception comes after awareness because you must first be aware of something, before you can perceive it. Perception is how you interpret that which you are aware of, and, with these two things combined, you get ‘your take’ on the world around you. These things are applied to your life at all times, and must be expanded if you wish to develop your abilities.
Meditation
Meditation is a great place to start. It allows you passage to a deeper understanding of yourself. Meditation is actually quite flexible in terms of approach and execution, as it really has neither a “Right way” approach or execution. It is used for a myriad of things such as concentration (To relax, and fixate your mind on a single thought or object for an extended period of time), or awareness (To relax and expand your mind and senses to feel, see and hear more… allowing yourself to take in information that was previously overlooked), or even to conquer a fear or obstacle in life.
Meditation is merely the means, or the tool in which to train yourself the skill of concentration, or expanding your awareness. Your psychic development hinders on your ability to expand and accept more of what is out there to find. But be wary, as you begin to embark in your psychic training journey, you will likely be treading in unfamiliar territory, and thus it is your imagination that will likely lead the way. This is not uncommon, and is your mind’s way of trying to bridge a gap between what you are used to, and what you are not.
It is for this reason, that when you begin developing your psychic abilities to not abandon reason or logic. The imagination is a powerful tool when used correctly and with restraint. Because without logic and reason, one would only have exorcised their imagination to the point of believing what they think they feel or sense. But, don’t abandon your imagination either, it has it’s place in your training as well. Instead, use your imagination to perceive and be aware beyond, and use logic and reason to keep you balanced.
As for the meditation itself, start by getting into a comfortable position, this can be sitting or laying down if you like. Once you find a comfortable position, sit or lay still, let your mind go blank, as if it is emptying itself of all your thoughts and troubles, until you find yourself in a state of peaceful nothingness. Try to embrace this peaceful nothingness for a minute or so, allowing it to wash over your whole self. You may begin to feel some odd sensations, such as tingling, buzzing or a light sense of vibration, even a little warm or cold. These sensations are fine, even good, as long as they aren’t causing any discomfort.
At this point, if you want to work on your concentration, then all you need to do is pay attention to your breathing. Try to be preset with each inhale and exhale, gently keeping your attention on each breath. Try not to monitor your breathing in such a way to cause any stress, and try not to control your breathing while you do this either. Allow it to remain in a natural, peaceful and effortless state.
In the beginning, you will likely have stray thoughts pop in and out, they may even take you on a short little adventure without you noticing. This is natural, simply as soon as you realize it has happened, softly bring your attention back to your breathing. Eventually less and less intrusive thoughts will interfere, and you will be able to maintain this peaceful state of concentration for longer. I use this meditation a lot when I want to clear and center my mind, and it works quite well.
If you would rather work on expanding your awareness, then it is a little bit different then working on your concentration, it’s also a bit more tricky. Having practiced and improved your concentration can help tremendously here. Start by relaxing and coming to a state of peaceful nothingness, but instead of placing your attention on your breathing, try to move it through your body a little.
An example would be to place it on your left hand, allowing your awareness and attention to seep deeply into it. Again without stressing over it, try to feel the skin and a little of the atmosphere around it, then a little deeper to maybe the blood vessels and tendons, then to the bone. Try to keep the area of your awareness to that of the size of a golf or tennis ball, which ever is easier for you to maintain. Move it slowly and gently up your wrist to your elbow at a comfortable pace. While doing this, don’t overly concentrate, as you also want to maintain that blank space in your mind as much as you can. When you begin to get better at moving your awareness around your body, the less you will need to concentrate to maintain this state. This is where it gets a little tricky.
With the comfortable blank space in your mind, you want to open it up to where you are placing you attention and awareness. Allowing for pictures or anything that may be important to show up in this blank space. For instance, if your awareness is in your left hand, and you want to pick up some specific information about it, let’s say because it feels tingly, then place your awareness in your hand, then open the blank space up and allow into it pictures, words or even impressions. Allow the answer, or even a clue to come to you. Just try not to force any pictures, thoughts or impressions using your imagination.
With some time you will get better at it, and eventually you can practice expanding you awareness to outside your body. Its important to remember to let the information come, and not force it to. This will help taper any bias or lust for an answer, and allow for the answer to be more accurate naturally. This also can promote an acceptance of your psychic abilities.
When starting out, take small steps and don’t try and leap for the stars. Don’t be impatient, if you truly want to develop your psychic abilities, isn’t it worth the wait and do it correctly? Those who jump without thinking, find themselves freefalling in a dream. It may seem tough in the beginning, or even you may feel as if you are getting nowhere, but the saplings to any tree bear no fruit in the beginning, but with time and patience, it grows. The same goes for Developing your Psychic Abilities.
Anyways, I think that covers Lesson 1, See you in Psychic Training | Lesson 2
