PREDICTIONS
Some
of the people who have written to me have told me how they
predicted a plane crash, a car accident or some other major
event. This sometimes causes great concern, which is understandable
because these are often things we are unable to change. You
can't just walk into the airport and say "One of your
planes is going crash!" Chances are folks will think
you are a little disturbed.
So
why then do we have these big premonitions? Often our psychic
sense has been giving us little reminders that it is there,
small insignificant signs. We may brush these off as being
merely coincidence, so in an effort to get our attention,
we see something larger, something more dramatic. This is
our psychic awareness waking up and shouting, "Look,
I'm here! Take notice." It often works too! When people
do write to me about these premonitions, they are in fact
starting to discover their own psychic gifts. When you finally
acknowledge that the gift is there, you will find the big
events start to disappear, allowing you to concentrate on
developing your skill in a more humble fashion.
Psychic
intuition is a thought-based talent, and it can feel like
you are remembering an experience that was not yours. Often
what comes into your mind is a picture, much like a photograph.
These "photos" can be black and white, color, still
or moving like a short movie. There are also feelings to be
picked up. This may not happen as quickly as the "photos,"
as this is a deeper form of psychic awareness, but they may
be a lot more important. The role of a psychic or medium often
goes beyond just giving messages or making predictions. They
need compassion and good communication skills to act upon
the information received.
Please
remember you are dealing with people's emotions; mediums need
experience in presenting this information. For this reason,
please do not expect to be able to give readings immediately.
You may also fail more than you succeed, and end up spoiling
your chances for respect and credibility.
Of
note here is another aspect of both psychic and medium development.
It's all too easy to become a little proud of yourself and
think you are "special." Let me tell you now, this
attitude is a road to disaster and failure! Remember there
are many people the world over who do predictions and have
psychic abilities; you are just someone who has awakened your
own skills. This thought will serve you well: be humble and
have respect for those you are able to read for and you will
continue to develop.
Please
also adopt a policy of respect. You hold within you a special
gift and great responsibility goes with it. People you read
for will have come to you from many different backgrounds
and belief systems. They may come in fear, sorrow and with
little understanding. Your job is to inspire them and make
them feel worthwhile, while at the same time honestly conveying
what you pick up. Take your time to explain things they may
not understand, but don't rattle on beyond what they are ready
to hear. This discernment will come to you, but it is good
to think on these matters from the outset.
DEVELOPING
MEDIUMSHIP
I
sometimes get asked how people can develop their own mediumship
skills. While the process is not difficult, intention, sensitivity
and respect for others are important.
Most
would be mediums train in a development circle or with a teacher.
A good place to start is your local Spiritualist church, as
many groups start from there. However, you may have to be
invited or wait for a suitable opening.
I
advise all seeking to develop mediumship to first awaken their
psychic skills, then read about other mediums and learn how
they get their information. Give yourself an idea of what
to expect, what is possible, what could be fantasy. Build
a firm base on which to expand, and be patient but explorative.
Pay attention to your dreams and what they tell you and allow
them to guide you. Although you can develop the skills on
your own, try to find someone who will study with you.
CONTACTING
YOUR SPIRIT GUIDE
Our
expectations of how spirits contact us are often too high.
Spirit existence can best be described as thought energy,
so it makes sense for them to contact us through our own thoughts.
But how do you tell the difference between spirits and your
own mind? The thoughts will sound like your own, but they
may also be of better clarity, more structured and eloquent
in delivery.
If
you can still your mind, as with meditation for example, you
may be able to detect these thoughts better. Ask questions,
but don't ask for predictions for your own life, and see what
thoughts come to you.
"If you believe there are limits, you will work
within them. If you believe there are no limits, then you
may go beyond the generally accepted methods of communication."
- Robin Stevens
HOW
DO YOU KNOW?
How do prove to yourself that your psychic ability is real?
By experience. You store the episodes in your memory. All
those things you knew that came true, all the things you could
tell other people about themselves, each and every episode
fuels your proof. At some point, chance and coincidence are
mathematically no longer a factor. You search your feelings,
you begin to trust yourself and see the good you are doing
and the comfort you are giving. The mysteries of the universe
lay before you, no longer mysterious, but like a giant unread
book.
Then
you remember God gave you the capacity to read.
