Psychic Awareness

Psychic awareness takes many forms. And different people find different

forms easier to develop than others. But regardless of what type of person

that you are, you can develop all of them, it just takes patience, a certain

amount of effort and the determination to do it. On this page I am going to

describe the three major and most common form of psychic awareness and show

you how to develop them.

Before I actually get into a description of any of the psychic abilities, I

need to explain something. You will be working with energies, spiritual and

psychic energies. And for all practical purposes, they are the same thing.

Every living thing has a field of energy around it as a result of the life

energy. Plants will have a smaller and simpler energy field that animals and

animals will have a smaller and simpler field than people. Someone such as

myself who uses a lot of energy and does a lot of energy work will have a

larger, more defined energy field that the average person.

Clairvoyance: This is simply the psychic ability to see the energies that I

talked about in the preceding paragraph. And this ability is inherent in all

You just have to learn how to do it and then let yourself do it.. It will be

much easier if you can get someone to help you with this, and their part

will be very simple. Have them sit quietly in front of a white or light gray

wall. The wall should be flat, not glossy. If no such wall is available some

pale colored wall or even a large piece of paper behind them will work.. Now

you stare, not directly at them, rather just beside their head. Let your

eyes get slightly out of focus so that they are slightly blurry. Keep

staring. Very soon, you should see a pale light around the other person's

head. It will be a very light gray, blue or white. This light is sometimes

called the "etheric double" and will extend out anywhere from one to three

inches. Now keep looking. Just beyond the etheric double you will start to

see some colored areas. These may be any color. This colored light around a

person is called the "aura". And you may notice many colors around the same

person. It is unusual for a person to have only one color around them. If

more than one of you are trying to do this at the same time and you see one

color and the other person sees a different color, it does not mean that one

of you is wrong. You will see the colors that you happen to be "tuned into",

but you will only see the colors that are there. Now are you ready for this?

Spirits, even Spirit Guides, can be seen the same way that a person's aura

can! It will take some practice and they are not as easy to see as a person

s aura because their energy levels tend to be at a higher level, but you can

see them! Later, I will list color correspondences and what they mean.

Psychometry: The energy that you have been learning to see can also be felt.

And it really is not hard, you just have to let yourself do it. So how do

you go about it? First, take inventory of how you feel, that is, what is

your emotional state, check your entire body, any aches or pains, stress or

whatever. Now go stand next to someone and see how you feel. Think of them

but pay close attention to yourself. Did your emotional state change? Do you

suddenly feel tired or feel any discomfort anywhere in your body that was

not there before? Remember you have to relax to do this. Don't try to force

it, just let it happen. And remember that you can do it! Any sudden changes

will be what you are picking up from them. As you first start to do this,

the changes may be very subtle and you may have to really look for them.

Something else that you can do, and this requires the cooperation of the

other person even though they might not really realize it. Stand behind them

as they are seated. Place your hands on their shoulders and RELAX. Now you

should start picking up impressions. They may be feelings or ideas, concepts

Just let it flow. See how easy it is? The energies that you are learning to

feel can also be impressed on an inanimate object. Does someone that you

know have a favorite chair that he or she uses all of the time that no one

else uses? Sit in it and see if you don't feel their presence. Borrow an

item from someone that they normally have on them all of the time, a watch,

a pocket knife, a necklace, etc. Hold it in your hand and close your eyes.

Now see if you feel any impressions, and remember that these may be very

subtle. Do all of these things. By practicing all of these things, you will

find that it comes easier and easier, and that your own sensitivity to them

will increase. And actually, you have been doing this all of your life

without even realizing it. Surely there have been times when you were in a

particular mood and had someone come near you and your entire mood changed.

You had picked up their mood. You may even have been at a party or other

gathering of friends and had someone else enter and seen the mood of the

entire group change. It happens all of the time. Now that you are becoming

aware of how this can happen, you will learn how to control it so that

others can't have such a negative effect on you. I will explain more about

that in another lesson.

Mental Telepathy: This is simply the transference of thoughts from one mind

to another. It is also the manner in which your Spirit Guides can

communicate with you. The methods of learning this are very simple, but it

does take practice. This is easiest to learn if you have another person to

help you. One person will be the "sender" and the other will be the

receiver". Lets start with the sender. Choose a thought to send. It may be a

single word, a simple phrase, an object or idea. Form the thought as clearly

in your mind as you can. Then let it go. And repeat. Do not try to hold the

thought in your mind for if you do that is exactly what will happen, you

will hold it and not send it. By letting it go, you will send it to the

receiver. Now for the receiver. Let your mind become quiet and still. Do not

try to suppress all thoughts or you will also be suppressing the thoughts

that are being sent to you! Now as a thought enters your head, ask your

partner if that was what they were trying to send to you. With practice you

will become more and more sensitive and will surprise yourself at how

accurate you can become! Take turns at being the sender and receiver. You

say that you don't have a partner that you can work with? Well, you do have

your Spirit Guides that you can work with. And you don't even have to teach

them how to do it, they already know. Now, how do you know that the thought

that you are picking up is someone else's and not your own? Well, in a

number of ways. It may be that it seems rather strange that you would think

such a thought, if so, chances are that you didn't. And at first the

thoughts may be very faint, so faint in fact that you are not even sure that

it was there. But in time, they will strengthen. As you gain experience, the

thoughts of others and those of your Guides will "sound" different in your

head than your own. I have even known people that could "hear" thoughts

being sent to them so clearly that they actually thought that they were

being spoken aloud. It has happened to me a very few times. As with

clairvoyance and psychometry, the keynotes are, relax, practice, self

confidence. And I can not stress those three keynotes enough.

Some Thoughts on Using Psychic Abilities: As I have often said, everyone has all of these abilities, they are innate to everyone. We all use them all the time without even realizing it. Now do I go around reading other people's minds? Absolutely not! That would be an inexcusable breach of their privacy! But I do use telepathy to communicate with my Guides. And use the other abilities in other ways. Let me give you an example. A few years ago I used to frequent a particular club. There was also a rather attractive woman who also frequented the same club. She always dressed in such a way as to portray the image of a hard boiled sex kitten. Frankly, even though I do like women, I was not interested in the persona that she was portraying. But one evening I happened to be seated next to her and we got to talking. And things didn't add up. She was pleasant enough to talk to, but what I was feeling from her did not jibe with the image that she was portraying. Finally I said, "Betty (not her real name), let me see your hand for a moment." She looked a little confused but handed me her hand. I took her hand in mine and closed my eyes for maybe 5 seconds then said, "That's what I thought. You are a phoney!" She looked really confused and asked what I meant. I said, "You are trying to look like a hard boiled sex kitten, but you are nothing but a damn softie!" She laughed and agreed with me and told me that she even cried at soap operas. We actually became rather good friends after that. Now, did I read her mind? No, but I did find out what kind of person that she really was from feeling her energies.
