Ability
Everyone
has psychic ability; in fact, we all have psychic experiences
daily. Being psychic is not about having some "woo-woo"
abilities that one can only be born with. Many of us simply
do not have the words or labels to identify what we are experiencing
as "psychic experiences."
There
are many myths that surround the ability to utilize our own
psychic information. Many people feel and acknowledge that
they have intuitive abilities. What they don't understand
is that the only difference between being psychic and using
your intuition is the level of trust you have that your intuition
is correct. Trust is a major component when working with your
psychic abilities. One must trust the information that is
coming through - the feelings, the inner communication, the
pictures and the "just knowing." By not trusting,
you are in essence invalidating the information that is coming
through to you from your higher self, your guides, and the
universe.
When
I was a kid, there was a TV show called the Sixth Sense that
was about a crime fighting psychic detective. During a typical
episode, there would of course be a murder, and the psychic
detective would be called in to help. This is where things
got interesting to me. When the detective would walk into
the crime scene, he would see the victim being murdered, or
he would see them floating around the room trying to provide
him with a piece of evidence. At times he would pick up an
item like a piece of paper and have a precognitive flash where
he would see someone driving a car off a cliff. I thought
this was too cool.
From
that point onward, I started reading whatever books I could
find on ESP, witchcraft (which was the only thing around in
the '70's) and the paranormal. By the end of seventh grade,
I knew that I had some kind of psychic ability, but I didn't
know how to tap into it on a regular basis. My expectation
was to see things floating around, to have these "experiences."
I figured that if I kept reading, I would have to become "enlightened."
By high school, I was turned on to tarot cards, and started
performing readings for myself and friends. I thought for
sure that I would become psychic by doing this. I was wrong.
After
many, many years of searching and studying, I found the Berkeley
Psychic Institute, and thought, WOW, these people will teach
me to be psychic.
My
first truly validated "psychic" experience occurred
while I was in a beginning healing class, learning to perform
aura healings. We were instructed to pay attention to anything
came to mind while we were doing the healing, and told that
we should mention it to the person we were working on. That
day, I happened to be working on the instructor of the class.
There was a lot of energy sitting in her aura around the back
of her head. The next thing I knew, I was saying bill, bills,
bills. The class assistant looked at me and informed me that
the instructor had finished paying bills just before class
started. I thought this was a good start, but I still couldn't
control it.
Needless
to say, I immediately signed up and started in the clairvoyant
program. The basis of the training was that you learned how
to perform readings by working with the more experienced readers.
As I sat with my eyes closed as instructed during my first
real psychic reading, I waited for these things to start floating
around the room. Well as you might imagine, this didn't happen.
A
couple of weeks later, I went to one of the school's psychic
fairs. I was really nervous. I knew I wasn't psychic yet,
and I wasn't sure what I was supposed to do at the fair. Fortunately,
they had teamed me up with a more experienced reader. Our
first client was a woman who had a question regarding her
relationship with her husband. As the other psychic began
speaking, in my mind's eye I was astonished because I was
seeing everything she was talking about. After a while, I
started to share with the client what I was seeing. The information
was in essence the same, but it was from a different angle,
from my perspective.
When
the reading was done, a light bulb went off in my head. "Oh...that's
what you want us to do... I've been seeing stuff like that
my entire life."
No
one had ever explained that this was the kind of "seeing"
psychics experience when working on clairvoyant levels. It
is in the mind's eye that you see things floating around the
room, and it is here that you see the aura. I was ecstatic.
Our
psychic experiences are controlled by the chakras. The chakras
are energy centers within the body. They are how we process
information from the world around us. Chakras can be likened
to the aperture of a camera, in that they have the ability
to open and close as they process information.
There
are seven major chakras within the physical body that run
along the spine. There are also chakras in the hands and feet
as well as where median lines cross in the body as identified
by acupuncture. Physiologically speaking, the major chakras
are located where groups of nerves meet to form nerve centers.
They are also related to the endocrine gland system, which
includes the adrenal gland, thyroid and the pituitary gland.
While
there are seven major chakras of the body, we will only be
discussing the chakras that control psychic information.
Clairsentience
Clairsentience is an ability of the second chakra; it is the
ability to feel energy. The second chakra is located just
below the belly button. The character Diana Troy on Star Trek,
the Next Generation is an empath. Empath is another term for
clairsentient. Diana feels things. On a more personal level,
have you ever walked into a room and "felt" bad
vibes, only to find out that an argument has just taken place?
Or have you ever walked into a room that someone has just
cleared, or where a healing has been performed, or where someone
is in deep in meditation? You probably felt cleared, uplifted
or that you were releasing energy and relaxing. You were processing
that information through the second chakra. When you are feeling
energy in this way, recognize that you are having a clairsentient
experience.
Clairaudience
Clairaudience is an ability of the fifth chakra; it is the
ability to hear information. The fifth chakra is located in
the base of the throat, just below the voice box. Many think
that our inner dialog is just an overactive brain. We are,
however, always receiving information on clairaudient levels.
For example, have you ever tried to figure out how to do something
and had "a little birdie" tell you what you should
do? This is your clairaudience at work.
Clairvoyance
Clairvoyance is the ability to see pictures in your mind's
eye. It is controlled by the sixth chakra, which is sometimes
referred to as the third eye. It is our ability to visualize,
which should not be confused with our ability to trust or
validate that what we are seeing. It is the most important
tool you will use as you develop your clairvoyance. It is
a tool we all use on a daily basis. Working with your visualization
skills, flexing those visualization muscles, will make it
easier for you to accept the information that comes in on
psychic or clairvoyant levels.
As
you continue to read this paragraph, can you picture or visualize
what your house looks like, or your car? Can you see your
bedroom or your office at work? Can you see the vacation you
took as a child or the face of your first love? Can you see
all of these things in your mind's eye clearly, easily, effortlessly?
This is the place that you go to visualize. It is also the
place where you see things on a clairvoyant level.
Knowing
is an ability of the seventh chakra. It is the ability to
just know stuff. The seventh chakra is located on the top
or the crown of the head. When you work with information on
knowing levels, you don't know how you know something, you
just know. Since the seventh chakra sits on the top of the
head, the body and the other chakras do not have the opportunity
to process the information involved. You are saying something
literally right off the top of your head. This is your knowing
at work.
As
you validate each psychic experience you have, you may find
that you experience one thing one time, and then you might
have a completely different experience the next time. Trust
that each of these experiences is true for you. Keep with
your integrity.
As
you can see, working with your intuition is very experiential.
It is not something that you can just read from a book. It
is something that must be experienced first hand, validated,
and then practiced and refined. Remember, we all have psychic
experiences daily. What have you experienced today?
