Developing Psychic Abilities

Everyone is psychic. Some people are more so than others and every one of us possesses this ability. You do. I do. And we can further develop, train, and direct, what we already possess. . . expand our psychic potential until every measure of our lives is vastly improved. Psychic abilities are practical and usable.

This is true because psychic abilities are merely extensions of faculties normal to us. For instance, clairvoyance extends the ability to see, clairaudience extends the ability to hear, telepathy – the ability to communicate, precognition – our sensing faculties, deja vu – past memory recall. Every psychic ability you’ve ever heard of is but an enhanced version of what is normal and typical for each member of the human race.

What does it take to extend our faculties? First and foremost, a positive attitude. . . plus the ability to relax and imagine and trust. Faculty extensions (what most people refer to as “psychic abilities) allow us to access multiple layers of information, and sometimes simultaneously. And they enable us to reach that wellspring of inner knowingness which resides in the deeper depths of our being.

Our intent, that directive force of our attitudes and beliefs, determines the type of results we can achieve once we accept our psychic potential and begin the process of developing this inner resource. As with any other talent, practice makes perfect – use establishes value.

You may notice that the process of extending faculties normal to you has a special “feel” to it. This feeling signals the coming together of your head and your heart. When the energy of head and heart join and function as one unit, all aspects of yourself unite as if teammates working for the same goal. Amazing things occur when this happens. You become healthier, happier, more loving and patient, wiser; and you attract more friends and exciting opportunities.

Literally, to be alive, truly alive, is to be psychic. Developing your innate psychic abilities is one of the best investments you can make in creating a better future for yourself. The fact that you are reading this article tells me you are ready to take this positive step forward. So let’s begin – right now!

What follows are the four basics necessary to improve and expand your psychic potential. They are: a positive attitude, the ability to relax, imagine, and trust.

## A Positive Attitude

Research has consistently shown that a positive state of mind automatically increases your psychic abilities. The more positive and enthusiastic you are, the more your faculties will stretch beyond any limitations you may have thought you had. Negative thinking or excessive scepticism (some scepticism is desirable), will impede this process or block it altogether.

To ensure that you remain in a positive frame of mind, read uplifting and inspirational literature, at least a few pages, each morning before you go to work or begin your day’s activities. This starts you out on the right foot, and helps you to maintain a sense of objectivity as the day progresses.

Also use affirmations. Post them at eye level in your home; an especially good place is around or on your bathroom mirror. Make certain your affirmations can readily be seen, and that includes in your car and at work. Most bookstores and gift shops sell a broad range of such eye-catchers, or you can make your own.

Try affirmations such as these:

● “Every day and in every way, I am getting better and better; I am becoming more and more.”

● “I am peace. I am love. I am joy.”

● “Health and wealth are my birthright, success my tool, kindness my standard.”

● “I am beautiful and loved RIGHT NOW, for I accept and express the goodness which resides within me.”

By noticing affirmations like these posted throughout your environment, your spirits will perk up; smiles will replace frowns. Incredible as it may seem, what you affirm on a regular basis often manifests in your life.

## The ability to relax

The more thoroughly you can relax while remaining consciously alert,the quicker you can unleash your heart’s ability to feel and your mind’s ability to create – hence, your psychic potential. Relaxation alters your state of consciousness. The deeper the relaxation, the more benefits you receive. As your brain decreases the speed of its brain waves, breathing slows from the normal twelve breaths per minute to about six, for the average person. When this happens your body uses less oxygen, thus enabling your metabolic rate to lower. The result? Tension and stress melt away. Cellular repair and new growth accelerate, as your body uses this opportunity to rid itself of toxins. Relaxation also fosters patience and understanding. It gives you the “time out” you need to wind down from the day’s many activities and switch into “neutral” – that wonderful, non-judgmental state where all things are possible, and you can feel good about yourself.

While you drift in the joy of being completely relaxed, be aware that at some special spot within you is located your center – the very center of your being. Move your consciousness to that spot. Go there now. You know your center. You recognize the place. It is that part of you still connected to the purity that is God, the oneness of all creation. Your center is a place of radiance, of perfect love, perfect joy, perfect peace, perfect knowing. Just be there. Be in your center, safe and warm, secure in the knowledge that you are wonderful, and that you have the right to be who you are. For you are an expression of God’s blessings, part of The Great Spirit and A Greater Plan for All Creation. When it feels right to leave your centre and return to full conscious awareness, do so slowly, in steps, knowing that at the count of three you will be wide awake and ready to resume your day. Counting one. . . affirm that every part of your being is healed and whole. Counting two. . . feel surges of energy refreshing and reinvigorating your body. And counting three. . . eyes open; you are alert, joyful and happy.

## Trust

The root word of “psychic” means “soul.” Thus, psychic abilities are really soul abilities. The “gifts of the spirit” you hear so much about are no different than psychic abilities. These gifts and talents differ only in the label you apply to them, in how they are used, and what for. Because it is so easy for thoughts of greed and selfishness to distort such gifts and talents, it is wise for all of us to remember this simple truth – we are not the author of the greatness which exists within us. The power of our being, the gifts and talents we possess, are merely on loan from The One Power, The Creator of All Things, the God within who doeth the work. Give the credit where it belongs.

It has been said that “God can do no more for you than through you.” This is true. We supply the “elbow grease,” the initial effort. The rest unfolds in ways both magical and miraculous. That initial effort is based on our choice, our freedom to decide. As our free will is inviolate, so is everyone else’s. No one has the right to interfere with or try to control the life of another. This is a universal law based on the sacredness of individual choice.

The only person you can ever change is yourself. The only things you can ever really control are your own thoughts, feelings, and actions. Put your trust in the divinity of being and in your God-given right to improve yourself; strive to be all that you can be. You may want to investigate and learn various methods of how to meditate and pray affirmatively. Both skills are invaluable assets for a successful and satisfying life.
