    How To Develop Psychic Abilities

    Some people believe we all have psychic abilities. Some of us may have more natural abilities than others, the same way that some of us seem inclined towards music or mathematics.

    Some people believe we all have psychic abilities. Some of us may have more natural abilities than others, the same way that some of us seem inclined towards music or mathematics. But just like any other skill, psychic abilities can be trained and enhanced. The following exercise can help to increase your natural psychic skills.

    Steps:

    1 Meditate: Experiment with various techniques until you find one that feels right for you. Keep a healthy diet. Remember, there is no right way or wrong way to perform meditation. It is only important that you are able to relax and focus your mind. If you continue the practice of meditation for any length of time, you will begin to notice the existence of your own spiritual energy. It is the connection to your spiritual self which provides intuitive information. Strengthening the connection to your spiritual self will result in an increase of your psychic abilities Meditation is most important for psychic abilities. It can help you in many walks of life for instance if your child has trouble reading teach him to meditate and they often get better. It may seem odd but it helps a lot.

    2 Try to be more aware of your surroundings: Upon waking in the morning, make an effort to lie still for a few minutes without opening your eyes. Try to notice as many sounds, textures and smells as possible before you decide to open your eyes. This exercise, if carried out for several weeks, can greatly help to increase your levels of awareness and intuition.

    3 Listen: The act of listening is important in increasing psychic awareness. After continuing this exercise for some time, you will begin to notice an increase in your overall awareness, which affects your level of intuition.

    4 Pay attention to random thoughts and feelings: Keep a journal handy at all times and try to write down those thoughts that seem to come out of nowhere. You may notice after a while that patterns tend to emerge. Thoughts that previously seemed completely random and unconnected begin to form themes or recognizable ideas.

    5 journal: Record your dreams in your journal. If you have been following the awareness exercise outlined above you will have noticed that your dreams are much easier to recall. Allowing yourself a few minutes to be still upon waking makes it much easier to remember dreams with more detail than if you rush out of bed in the morning and hurry to start the day. Try setting your alarm clock to wake you up ten or fifteen minutes before your normal waking time. Give yourself some time to remember your dreams and make a few quick notes in your journal.

    6 Embrace the power of silence and solitude: Keeping away from the rowdiness and distracting activities of noisy distractions, can help the mind think more clearly, in terms of developing inner mental accuracy and focus. Drink in the beauty of natural sounds, like the chirping of birds, the babbling of water from a brook, waterfall, etc. These natural echos are known to enhance intuition and psychic abilities.

    Tips:

    1. These simple exercises can have dramatic results if practiced regularly. These steps are just a few of the many techniques available for increasing your perception of psychic ability. There are many other methods to choose from. In your search for information regarding psychic development, it is important to be wary of any methods which declare that psychic abilities are the result of external forces, or any teachings which insist that psychic powers are anything other than a natural human ability.

    2. You may find that the special sensitivity provided by self-hypnosis is an aid to achieving your goals by psychic means.

    3. Sometimes, just seeing the ability being done by someone else will lead to yourself being able to do the thing. Note that this is only a temporary "shock" effect by your subconscious seeing the real thing being done

    4. Practice, practice practice! If you are easily disappointed, psychic abilities aren't for you. You really need motivation and dedication to get to results.

    5. A technique that works well is a voice recorder. Keep it on a night table and learn to recognize dreams of probable significance while still in the dream.

    Warnings:

    1. Mainstream science is not quite at the point of accepting the validity of scientific studies performed in parapsychology and consciousness research, i.e. there IS proof of psychic functioning (telepathy, remote viewing, clairvoyance, precognition, healing, psychic diagnosis, psychokinesis) however most people remain unaware of these results, and many others maintain a pseudoskeptic outlook (whereas real skeptics would investigate the available data, pseudoskeptics don't bother).

    2. The effects of psychic abilities are poorly understood. You might harm yourself accidentally by overdoing it. However, this is for you to figure out.

    3. The general public doesn't take it too well if you talk about anything related to psychic abilities or experiences.
