When we use the word psychic there can be a misconception of what that word actually means. For some it can be mean abilities that allow you to see spirits, for others it can mean telling the future. Personally I believe being psychic is a gift that we all have, just some of us may have developed this skill more than others. Like a muscle, it needs to be trained and used daily. It is simply another way of sensing the world around us.
I have been doing readings for a number of years but it has taken time, dedication and a lot of self love to really work with this gift on a deeper level. As a child, I was naturally psychic and could sense and see spirits but over time I started to fear this gift. It made me feel different from my peers and my family. Fitting in became more important but I realize that so many of us shut these gifts down for fear of being judged. So in this blog, I will be sharing some of the simple ways you can develop your own gifts and start seeing the world in a different way.
1. RELAX, MEDITATE, AND LET GO OF CONTROL
Yes, tapping into our psychic gifts takes work, but not the kind of work you might think. You need to let go and trust what you are sensing. To do that you need to first learn how to quieten your mind. When our minds are racing with all the thoughts of the day, the to-do lists and constant worries then there is absolutely no room for anything else.
When our guides and angels try and communicate with us they do so through images and subtle feelings of knowing. In order to listen, we must learn how to sit quietly and give space for these downloads to come through. A simple meditation you can use is to simply sit on the chair. Bring your awareness to your body, the feeling of your back against the chair, your legs, and feet. Then as you breathe in, say to yourself “I breathe in peace,” and as you breathe out say, “I breathe out love.” Practice this mantra a few minutes throughout the day and it will immediately help you to center yourself.
2. ASK FOR YOUR GUIDES TO CONNECT
Our guides and angels are always around us, helping us on our own life path and purpose. Once you learn how to practice quieting your mind then you can ask your guides to give you a sign. In meditation ask your guide to come forward. Notice what they look and feel like to you. If you feel blocked keep trying. It is completely normal to feel blocked at this stage because often our fear and ego can take control, making it difficult to believe what our hearts are telling us.
To connect with your guide, first, connect to your heart center. Imagine taking deep breathes into your heart, expanding the light that resides within our center. With every breathe in imagine breathing in a bright white light that expands and surrounds our whole body. As you do this call on your guides to come forward, ask them to give you a message and their name. Afterwards, it can be handy to write down anything you feel might be important so you can go back to it.
3. CLEAR AND CLEANSE YOUR ENERGY
The more we open up psychically, the more we can absorb that may not be serving you in to your energy field. This could be in the form of negative emotions from others or just the universal energy around you. That is why, once you learn how to open up, you also need to learn how to protect yourself. A good way to do this is just simply taking a walk outside. The natural environment can have such a therapeutic and cleansing effects on our minds and bodies.
Another way is to use crystal healing or aromatherapy such as lavender or rose oil. You will know what works for you because you will immediately feel lighter and more at ease. When you feel anxious, drained or not sleeping then it can mean you are absorbing too much around you and you need to take a step back and clear your energy.
4. WORK WITH TAROT AND ANGEL CARDS
Using Tarot cards helped me immensely in connecting to my gifts. The powerful imagery and symbolism that reside within the cards activate your own subconscious mind and the powers that you already have. When I read cards I do so through my intuition. I notice what thoughts, feelings, and images come up when I look at a card and how that information can serve to help me in the present moment. You don’t need to be a professional to do this. Just get your own deck of cards that resonate with you. The images have to make you feel something.
For example, beautiful flowing dreamlike images really help me to slow my own mind down and enable me to work in a state of flow. Keeping a card reading journal can help show your progress and pick one card a day and notice the themes that keep coming up for you as you connect to the cards.
5. USING VIBRATIONAL MUSIC
Certain frequency of sounds can serve to help you to deepen your gifts further. I use 528hz which is known as the love frequency and can really help me to quieten my mind and raise my vibration. I usually listen to frequency music before I’m doing psychic work but you can use it whenever you feel like you need energy and boost. I don’t believe our psychic senses can work when we’re fearful but when we’re in a higher vibrational state. The highest vibration we can connect too is that of love. There is no stronger frequency.
Once you open your gifts keep connecting to the frequency of love. Know that your gifts are love in motion. They are not something to be feared but something to be nurtured. When we become more in tune with our intuition we start trusting our own authentic voice. You start feeling clearer about the direction to take because you’re listening to yourself on a deeper level. There is no greater gift you can give this world than the gift of your heart.
