Increasing
Psychic Abilities With this Meditation Technique
We
all have psychic abilities. For many people this ability is
dormant or asleep. It’s a bit like the person who sits
at a piano for the first time and discovers that they have
a natural talent for music. The ability was always present
it just takes the right circumstances for the talent to become
apparent.
Most of us have times in our
lives when we notice something at work that can be considered
psychic. Usually this psychic ability is in the form of intuition,
hunches or gut responses that seem to defy reason or logic.
These uncanny hunches and sudden insights can sometimes leave
us feeling bewildered, but the truth is that they are a perfectly
natural ability. And like any other talent, psychic abilities
can be trained and perfected.
There are any number of tools
and methods available to the psychic any or all of which may
help to increase or focus intuitive skills. Most psychics
use some form of meditation to enter a frame of mind that
heightens intuitive awareness. Some read palms or tea leaves,
tarot cards or rune stones or use a crystal ball; some may
involve intricate rituals. Regardless of the tools used to
assist a psychic reading they each serve to aid the psychic
in entering a form of focused meditation which greatly enhances
the natural intuitive sense.
A
focused meditation technique provides the frame of mind that
is most receptive to intuitive information. Meditation quiets
the mind, filters out the noise and chatter of the conscious.
This filtering of conscious noise allows the sub-conscious
mind to voice its thoughts, as well as enable the mind to
tune in to the environment. Some have called this a heightened
state of awareness or altered consciousness. The attention
is drawn inward with a kind of detached awareness. Developing
your ability to enter into this heightened state of mind plays
the important role in increasing your intuitive senses.
If
you’re unfamiliar with the practice of meditation then
the following meditation technique should help to gain a better
understanding of the methods used. This exercise focuses on
breathing and visualization. Controlled breathing provides
an area of immediate connection with the mind and body and
also increases the supply of oxygen to the brain.
Begin by finding a comfortable
place to perform your meditation. This can be any place of
your choosing, provided that you find it comfortable and relaxing.
It is not required for you to sit, though you may, if you
choose. Many people find it difficult to sit still for any
length of time. Standing or even walking slowly is perfectly
acceptable for the sake of this exercise.
Focus your attention on your
breathing. Notice the air as it enters your body. Try to breathe
in through your nose and exhale through your mouth. Take slow,
deep breaths.
Inhale slowly through your
nose and hold the breath in for nine seconds, then exhale
slowly for another nine seconds, count out the seconds steadily,
not rushed and not sluggish, try to find a pace that feels
comfortable, just remember to relax your breathing.
Inhale for nine seconds, exhale
for nine seconds, and repeat this process nine times. With
every breath, imagine that you are inhaling precious life
giving air and exhaling any unwanted energies. After you have
repeated this cycle nine times you can begin your visualization.
Try to maintain the rhythm of your breathing without counting
it out in your head.
At this point you may notice
random thoughts popping into your head, simply dismiss them
as they enter your mind, let them slip away easily.
Imagine that you are walking
across a dry and sandy landscape. The temperature is comfortable,
the air is easy to breath and you feel at ease.
As you walk along you notice
a shape on the horizon. As you near the shape you see that
it is a stone building, a round, stone building with a single
door. You are facing the door and now you see that this door
is slightly open and a light is coming from inside.
Now, you are standing at the
door and decide to push the door open. You open the door and
enter the stone building.
Inside you see a round room
with a table in the centre. The room is well lit, warm and
comfortable. You approach the table and notice a small wooden
box, paper and a pen.
You form a question in your
mind that you would like answered, an issue that you would
like resolved, it does not take you any time to form this
question. You write this question on the paper before you
and place the paper in the box. You see the box has a lid
and you close it.
After a moment you open the
box, you see that the question is no longer written there,
instead an answer has appeared. You take the answer with you
as you leave the building and return to your present space.
You may see immediate results
with this exercise or it may take several attempts before
the answers found within the box make any sense to you.
Over time this visualization
becomes much easier to enter into and you may be tempted to
treat this exercise as some sort of oracle. This is not the
true intention. Instead what we are trying to accomplish is
entering into the receptive mode of meditation that was spoken
of earlier. The easier it is to enter into this state the
more likely it is that you will become tuned into receiving
intuitive information.
