Greetings One and All ....

 

Today I'd like to speak about psychic abilities, the fact that we all have these abilities and how to encourage and improve them.

Everyone is born with a degree of psychic abilities, some of us more than others perhaps, yet all have a part of the collective link-up to the Divine True Source Consciousness.

As children we often used our imagination at play and in school. Many of us had imaginary friends. These imaginary friends (mine was Abigail) kept us company, calmed our fears, played in the yard or playground with us and shared a large part of our waking life with us.

As we grew up, we left our imaginary friends in our childhood, letting physical reality dull our imaginations as we progressed into maturity.

Any wonder why children, especially younger ones, as so enthusiastically inclined toward use of their intuition -- yes, children have intuition – represented by their abilities to employ imagination. Imagination is the key to unlocking our intuition. If you don't believe this statement, just watch a small child at play for a little while and they will show you how it is done!

Does this mean we must become childlike in order to tap into our own psychic energies? Yes ... in a way! A child's innocence precludes them from preconceived notions and thought patterns.

For us to develop our own psychic abilities, we first need to discard any preconceptions we may have about the extrasensory or “clair” senses, that is, clairvoyance, clairsentience, clairaudience, clairsavorance, and clairesscent. The clair senses correspond to the five physical senses – seeing, feeling, hearing, tasting, and smelling. The prefix 'clair' means 'clear' and refers to the ability to reach beyond the physical.

Once we are willing to reach beyond the physical using the clair senses, we can begin to develop a deeper connection with the Universal Mind to tap into our psychic abilities.

Imagination often is drawn from memories – memories that store images and emotions associated with past experiences. Allowing our imagination to run free during meditation, contemplation and/or visualization opens the channel to memory storage and is a most important step to connecting to and fine tuning our psychic abilities.

Meditation is another important step toward tapping into our psychic abilities because when done correctly, that is, as a deep, uninterrupted flow of concentrated thought upon an object or subject, it brings us to a peaceful state of consciousness. At this level of consciousness, we are able to continue from the light state of meditation to a deep state of contemplation where we become more aware of the Universal Cosmic Consciousness – the All That Is.

Visualization Exercises, sometimes referred to as Spiritual Exercises, are another way of developing our psychic abilities. Visualization involves using our imagination in a light meditative state and opens our mind to reception from the deeper levels of consciousness.

A simple spiritual exercise that will lead to light meditation and further to deep contemplation if you desire, is to simply concentrate on the word “love” by repeating it over and over again in our mind and heart and following the path where it leads. If you begin to feel any form of negativity, bring your concentration back to the original place of peace and serenity by again repeating the word “love” over and over again.

We use our psychic abilities daily without realizing it – if we are driving down the road, perhaps daydreaming, and “just happen” to notice the speedometer reading over the posted speed limit, an inner voice might tell us to slow down, which we do, and around the next curve sits a radar activated police car. Hmmmm .. that may be one ticket that we didn't claim because of own intuitive psychic abilities.

Yes, intuition and 'being psychic' are almost the same --- the difference being TRUST. Trusting your intuition validates that the feelings, images and thoughts we have are coming from our Higher Self, our Inner God-Mind, our connection to the Universal Cosmic Consciousness.

Well, we kind of went all over the place here – there is a lot of territory to cover when looking inwardly to unveil our own psychic abilities. I trust I have given you enough information to spark you to look further, study more and tap into the flow of Universal Energy that is readily available to all of us.

You all have my warmest wishes.
