Hindrances to Developing Your Psychic Abilites

Many people have a stereotypical image of what being a psychic is like. They think that all psychics can see visions of everything you've ever done, know what you're thinking, communicate clearly with dead people and angels, predict the future and move objects without touching them. Having all of these skills would be a very tall order! Everyone (including you) has their own psychic strengths and weaknesses. Each of these skills involves some way of perceiving the energy around you in your aura. Some people can "see clearly" (clairvoyance), some people can "hear clearly" (clairaudience), and other people can "feel clearly" (clairsentience). Other psychic skills include precognition, healing, telekenesis and trancemediumship. Everyone is born with various psychic abilities and it is possible to more fully develop each of these skills, though some will feel more natural to you than others.

The biggest hindrance to becoming more psychic is the belief that you're not! Who told you you weren't psychic? Actually it was more likely that you just weren't validated for your skills as you were growing up. Maybe you were hushed up when you tried to ask about things that you weren't supposed to know (kids are very perceptive!). Maybe you had an "imaginary" friend and people told you that there was no such thing. We learned how to close it all down, especially those of us who may have been punished for these things.

A second hindrance to developing your psychic abilities is having the stereotypical image of psychics described above. Psychics do not necessarily see in wide-screen, IMax, 3-D vision, nor hear in HD, high-tech stereo. Rather their perceptions of the subtle energy they are looking at is just that - subtle. Good readers are calm and quiet. They have to turn down all the noise and clutter in order to read/perceive/tune into subtle energy. Your first psychic hits might just be a faint image or a single word or a very slight feeling around your heart.

The stereotypical image of a psychic usually doesn't include the most important psychic skill that you can develop. This is the skill of communicating on a spiritual level. When you are receiving important or sensitive information about someone, how do you describe it to them in a caring and respectful way so they can understand and use it? When you can see that someone isn't acting in their own best interest, can you stay out of judgement? How do you communicate in a way that validates them and helps them to move along their path? This is what turns a "psychic reading" into a space of spiritual growth and connection. If you would like to experience this kind of reading, please give us a call!

Exercise Releasing Hindrances to Developing Your Psychic Abilities: Sit in a straight back chair, put your feet on flat on the ground, and take a deep breath. Send down a beam of energy from your hips deep into the center of the earth. See yourself sitting in a bubble of your own energy. Visualize a "time line" out in front of you with one end originating at your birth, and the other end representing where you are right now. Create an image of a rose at the end with your birth. Move the rose along the time-line to the other end. Watch it as it picks up any and all energy that other people put into your space that invalidates your own psychic abilities. Also sop up any energy that defines a psychic as something you are not! You can run the rose along the time-line as many times as you want. When you are done, visualize the rose exploding and releasing all of the invalidation energy out of your space. Now put your attention right behind your eyes, say Hello to yourself using your first name, and also say "Yes, I have the makings for being a very fine psychic!"
