Psychic ability is something we all possess to greater or
lesser degrees, and it's something that can be consciously
developed. Some people do have a an intuitive "gift,"
just as others may have gifts for art, mathematics, athletics,
etc... Through focused desire and concentration, however,
we can all enhance the abilities we were born with.
Meditation is the most commonly
prescribed practice for spiritual development and increased
psychic awareness. The word "meditation," however,
tends to be daunting to beginners. What is really needed is
simply to get quiet and pay attention. "Visions"
and other experiences of extraordinary awareness happen when
we're hyper aware of subtle energies and influences. It has
been said that genius is simply energy focused intensely and
consistently on a certain matter. To become good at perceiving,
then, we must practice getting quiet and paying intense attention
to small stimuli and subtle energies.
It's important to note that
not everyone is visual by nature. There are three main modes
of perceiving: visual, auditory and kinesthetic. Those who
are visual learn best by seeing, and think with pictures in
their minds. Those who are auditory learn best by hearing,
and "talk" to themselves more in their minds. Those
who are kinesthetic learn best by doing, and tend to get "gut"
feelings and to process experiences physically through movement
or attention to their physical sensations. Just as we all
have five physical senses, we all perceive through all three
modalities, but most of us have a primary or favored way of
perceiving life.
As
this article focuses on "psychic visions," we're
going to be working with visual perception. We can begin to
"flex" our inner vision through some basic exercises.
We'll begin by better seeing in our minds something in our
physical experience. Pick a simple object like an orange,
apple, banana, or even a book, a shoe, etc... Look around
and grab something that "catches your eye." Now
sit in front of the object and study it for a moment. Study
its features, but then "step back" and just take
it in as a whole. Now close your eyes and try to reproduce
it mentally. Study it again, and then repeat the process of
envisioning it within. Your inner vision should get crisper.
Now close your eyes and simply
envision color. Begin with red, and work your way up the color
spectrum. See a splash of pure red, then imagine two or three
objects that are red, then go back to seeing only the color.
Then move to orange, then yellow, green, blue, indigo and
violet. Take your time and try to move toward a sense of ease
as you visualize the colors and objects.
Now we're going to advance
our inner vision skills by picturing someone we're presently
close to. If you have children, you might pick your child's
beloved face, but you can choose anyone you see on a daily
basis, as long as it's someone whose face you know well. Close
your eyes and try to recreate his or her visage in your mind.
Spend as long as it takes until you get a crisp image. You'll
find it easier if you try to remember a specific experience
and picture that person as you saw them then.
Now pick a person in your
mind who you were once very close to, but whom you haven't
seen for several years. Again, pick someone whose face you
once knew very well, and try to recreate his or her image
in your mind. You're likely to find yourself in a memory to
do this, and that is fine. Get a very crisp image, and then
choose someone you've not seen since childhood, and again
recreate a clear image in your mind of this person's face.
Now choose a person you're
presently close to but who is at some distance from you. It
may be your mother in a nearby city, a child at school, or
even your sweetheart at work. Hold a vision of his or her
face a moment, and then say to yourself, "Spirit, show
me what they're doing." Then trust whatever pops into
your mind. Remember that you're playing, experimenting and
exercising here. Pay attention to what pops in, versus what
your rational mind may reason out. For example, I just said,
"Spirit, show me what my mother is doing," and I
saw her reading in her bed. I then looked at the clock and
thought it was too early for her to be in bed yet. There may
be a tendency for you to want to guess first, and base what
you see on that. Try to just allow images to pop up, and don't
analyze them for now.
Now that you have an image
of someone and what they're doing, ask Spirit what they're
thinking or feeling. Say, "How does this person feel?"
As I do this with my mother, for example, I HEAR, "She's
tired, and worried about your brother." I have no reason
to think she'd be worried about my brother; now I'm starting
to get some information that I would never have "guessed"
at, but which must be coming from somewhere.
If you're a very visual person,
you may get symbols or other visual information. For example,
you may see a happy face, or you may even see something like
a sunflower or rainbow if you're being told "happy,"
or a storm cloud or the color red if the person is angry.
At this point, your job is simply to allow perceptions in,
and to ask more and more questions in order to interpret what
you're shown. For example, you might see a sword, and then
you would ask, "Does this mean she's angry?" You
might then get a feeling of no or yes, or you may get other
information that helps you to understand.
You can set up a system with
your own higher self for yes/no answers. You might, for example,
assign "to the left" the answer "no,"
and "to the right" the answer "yes." Then
when you ask a question, if you're kinesthetic you'll get
a feeling of going left or right. If you're auditory, you
might hear yes or no, and if you're visual, you might see
a pointer going left or right in your mind. Use whatever symbol
feels right to you.
Now ask a simple question.
You might ask, "Will it rain tomorrow?" and see
what kind of answer you get. It's better, however, to ask
a question you care about, for there will be more energy in
the answer. However, if you're very attached to the answer
being what you want it to be, you may have trouble remaining
objective.
Play with this approach, and
allow yourself to get creative with it. Improvise, experiment,
and above all, have fun with it. The bumpy and harrowing road
is the one where we try to will ourselves into greater awareness.
The smooth and easy path is one where we simply allow ourselves
to play, and to trust what we're shown. Success is much easier
to attain when we relax and allow.
Of course, your beliefs and
expectations will affect your experiences here, as they do
in every aspect of your life. If you don't believe it's possible
to develop psychically, you'll find it difficult or impossible.
If, however, you believe anything is possible with the proper
focus and energy, and you believe in magic, magic will flow
over, under, around and through to find you.
