Hey guys,

Have any of you been trying to develop your psychic ability, I know I have, and so I was wondering if there was any good advice out there?

1. How do you distinguish the intuitive voice and the thought voice?

2. How can you better develop psychic ability?

3. Any cool psychic experiences?

P.S. I'm going to be taking a psychic development course soon, and that is why I'm asking.

My biggest problem is I think too much. I over analyze, and this inhibits my psychic flow. If I can stop myself from over analyzing, and just feeling things out (clairsentience), I can go very far.

Hey Star,
Good questions BTW.
I am in the same position as you, since I've made myself aware of psychic abilities I have been experiencing them alot more.
No good advice, but I'm interested in what others have to say!

To say the truth, I haven't yet been able to consiously distinguish intuitive voice and general thoughts, I only realize what was intuition after the events took place.
That has caused me great difficulty in distinguishing fantasy from reality so to speak.

I'd agree and say it can be more difficult for the analytical minds, I know, and I try to pay more attention to feelings when I'm trying to listen to intuition. Not so much the thoughts, but where I feel the thoughts. You know?

Have fun with your course!

Here's a tip:

The intuitive feeling will speak through your Solar Plexus, you will feel a small sensation in your tummy. That is when you know it's your intuition rather than just your thoughts. On top of that, it is always your first instinct. The very first thought is always the right one.

The type of psychic ability we're talking about is called clairsentience (psychometry). The "I don't know why, I just know sense" operated by your Crown Chakra. This is when we have feelings about something. This is the most common psychic ability. Like for example someone will say, "I have a feeling you shouldn't go there. Umm, that guy gave me a really weird vibe." Stuff like that. If you're very talented this can be followed by precognition seeing the future before it happens.

This can be easily developed if you have desire, time, and patience. Here's a few tips: Never second guess yourself, always listen to your first thought, and run with it. Listen to your feelings, what are the first emotions you feel? When you walk into a room, how do you feel? Do you know the difference between positive and negative energy. When someone walks into a room, how do they make you feel? These are the questions you have to ask youself as a clairsentient. Let your feelings show you the way, but don't think too many thoughts, listen to that very first one. BTW, practice, practice, practice! It takes time to trust yourself. Afterwhile, you'll be able to sense spirits and entities in the room.

For a long time, I had no idea I picked up on the feelings of others, and that is why when I go to school, I always get listless and tired. When I'm around sad people, I'm sad too, when I'm around happy people, I'm happy too. Stuff like that. You need to learn how to protect yourself, and also know when to cut yourself off.

I myself have had paranormal functioning since age two when I had a near death experience from a severe choking incident that triggered and OBE.
I not only am able to soul travel,on one occasion saw my own guardian angel and she spoke to me.I have heard her on several occasions.(very long story)
I have seen "ghosts",woke to find "aliens" next to my bed on 3 occasions,I control my own dreams during sleep,I have seen both "dark forces" and Been to places of "higher learning" during dreamtime.
I have recollection of my most recent life in great detail,and I know about two others in minor detail.
I have had connection with dead relatives during "dreamtime" whereby the gave me relavant and useful information regarding certain aspects of my life.Needless to say it was accurate information much to the suprise of those close to me.
I could write a book on on developing these ability but I am not sure its wise.Why?
Think about it folks.....Do you think its fun to know the day hour and year of your own mothers death?
This is an example of my own experience.What does one gain by this knowledge but depression?
In my own case there was a reason for me to know.I am the type of soul that an extreme negative show can lethal to me,I need to be prepared for tragedy to effectivley deal with it,but thats just me.
Do you realize the amount of mental and emotional stability you must posesss?
There is know real reason to force this developemnt and it can me dangerous to do so if you are not ready.
The fact is,as you grow spiritualy in your awareness,intuition becomes second nature,see?
If your hell bent on learning,by all means do it my way of "going within yourself through meditation" Listen to the internal feelings and sensations,learn to trust in YOUR own judgement.
Take some quiet time each day,and just clear your mind.......meditation is passive,it's opening yourself to "listening" . Pray is active,it's talking too.....this is the opposite.
Make your intent clear..make your atmosphere serene.Some people choose soft music,maybe some nice incence and a soft glowing candle.
Most of all listen and trust.Warning: In my opinion any outside means of divination to develope your intution should be avoided at all cost until you have a clear understanding of the forces your opening yourself too)
And rememeber,these things occur natrually as you expand your own awarness through study and meditation.
Good luck to you............

merratti--what do you mean by

Would that be other people, or tools like tarot? What are "outside means" in your view?

In fact yes,
I was reffering to Tarot,Ouiji Board,Auntomatic writing,ruins ect...
This is only MY advice based on MY own opinion that its always best to Go within yourself to develope your abilities.
Once fully developed and there is a clear understanding of the laws that apply to using these abilities for others,then incorperating them into your life is ok.
I myself,use Tarot for example.Although these days I use them as a general"blueprint" of the seekers problem,rather then a card by card interpetation.Kind of hard to explain.I Guess what I mean is I now longer have much use for them.
Let me stress once again folks,this is just MY way,My opinion,My advise.You can laugh at it,toss it,scrutinize it,or even apply it hopefully.
Love & peace
Andrea

Merratti, that's good advice!

I have found that you can severely confuse yourself by using those tools too much. I started out with tarot, but the more I got in touch with my inner voice, the less I needed them and the more muddled the readings became. If I relied on tarot too much, the readings would be conflicting and then I'd have to sort it all out internally and without the cards.

but tarot was a great starting point to guide me on my way. I think you're right, though: at some point you have to take the training wheels off and ride alone.

Exactly,the readings become muddled.It's so interesting that I too used tarot after I had began"my seach" and by then I made sure I was well grounded,with good intent,knew how to protect myself and so on.
Then after sevral years I realzied I was just using Tarot for confirmation for what I already knew inside about the person,see?
It was then I stopped using them altogether.
Now the information is "just there"
When I said how it comes natrual as you progress on your path it reminded of a story of what happened to me at work one day.I have "felt" other people thoughts (mental telepathy) on many many occasions.I was never able to verify this because I didn't want the other person to know (embarress them,or make them feel invaded)
Well on one occasion it seemed harmless so this is what I did.
I was working in a deli making sandwiches.I knew this customer well,and he I heard him say I wish I could have shredded lettuce(something forbidden by the boss)
So,I shredded his lettuce (boss wan't there) and when I approached the register I said" Here ya go,shredde dlettuce just like you wanted" and his face went white and he asked me how I knew that.I said you told me.He said NO, I thought it...I never said it.I know you are not allowed to do that.I would Never ask you to do it.
I said"Well ,you did" and inside I knew I had my proof.
On another occasion in the same store every time I reached for a cup in the store it flew into my hands.Only when no person was around.Then one day a strange customer came in and he saw it.I had my witness.Well,I would have,but he ran out of the store.BUT it was caught on Video so I felt verified.LOL LOL
It's so interesting,,,,,,ya know? Even to this day I am still learning and developing.In the matter of Pyscic ability,I guess I am a pro.BUT....I also know how dangerous this could be in the hand sof some individuals.
What if they chose to read minds to invade?
What if they made objects Move to scare people?
What if they revealed information to an unstable person(Negative)and they person did something awful?
It's a responcibility.Some call it a gift.I have come to envy those who don't know.Ignorance is bliss has more meaning to me now.
I should ad one more thing.Through all this I do not read for myself.

Hi StarLover. When you are trying to utilize spychic abilities, try putting the thought into the back of your mind. Concentrate on what you want to accomplish for a few minutes, then turn to something that will occupy the frontal parts of your brain like something visual or especially something mathmatic. Then just go on with your day or your lesson or whatever. The results will become obvious with practice. You can actually feel it in your medula oblongata after a while. Good luck!

Psychic development is like developing any other skill, some people are better than others, some are easily born with it, but don't utilize it, or for the most part nobody tries to develop it. Everybody is psychic, it's the skill of it that counts. I don't think it's dangerous to develop psychic ability just like I don't think it's dangerous for people to develop the skill of Martial Arts. To each his own, and anyone can be irresponsible with psychic abilities, just like anyone can be irresponsible with any other skill. However I do agree that you must be responsible and set guidelines for yourself. Yet I don't discourage the development of it because it is inherent within all of us, and to fully develop it means you can control it completely even the cons of it. Just like a martial artist knows not to be violent, but when the time comes he is not going to sit on his phanny, but he will be responsible because he knows his own power. Ignorance is never bliss, we must learn to know ourselves and others, and psyhic development is just another way.

Tarot cards are great, and they help me tremendously because I tend to second guess myself, and the tarot cards can set the record straight. Sometimes the psychic messages don't come in very clearly, and so the tarot cards can make it more clear. It can be confusing if you don't really know the meanings or you use it frivously. I agree that eventually we're not meant to use tools with psychic ability. The real use of tarot cards aren't for fortune telling anyway.

Thank you very much Fishkitten. Sometimes I give myself a headache because I think too much.

Merratti, those were some pretty amazing experiences, but in your case it sounded like it was hard to control. Was it because you didn't have formal training? Most of the time we just need to learn how to shut it off, you know. Just like I'm trying to do right now.

I went to a psychic and I was asking her some small questions about the cycles of heightened psychic powers according to moon phases and such. She told me that waning moons are a bit more mellow, but at full moons, the info is overpowering. I asked if it is hard for her to handle at times, and she she stated, "Oh, no, Honey! I went to a psychic institute. I've learned to just shut it off."

Hi star,

No,no formal trianing here(at least not physical training)
I have had guidance from the highest source,my own spirit guide.Those experiences though never included turning it off.I am aware of "tuning out" because if I did't I would be in a mental hospital now! lol
You make very valid points about developing your talents and I agree with you,good analogy.I think what I was trying to convey when I was warning people its not all roses,is that it is a responcibilty,and not to get caught up in the "sensationalism" of the talents.To question ones own motives,thats all.
Thank you for your reply,it was great appreciated.
Love & Peace
Andrea

Have you thought of meditation? I am reading the book "the complete idiot's guide to meditation.' I think it is quite good. It gives approaches to meditation, prayer and meditation, how to meditate even if you are an athiest. It is very explanatory.

I do believe in meditation and I feel that one can raise ones awareness through finding calm within oneself. If you create silence within you then you can converse with universe.

I guess I havent given you the right reply. My goal in life is self illumination and i take psychic development as by product of it achieved during/after the process. I do want to develop my psychic abilities if possible but not without knowledge of how to utilize it productively. Hence, I told you about meditation.

merratti, i was wondering about the aliens next to your bed.

i had a dream where aliens removed a cancer from my body. were your's big headed grey guys or were they wearing suits similar to the predator suits in the movie... thats what the ones looked like i met. they were friendly and shoot they removed my cancer.


months prior i was trying to just "forget" the mystical encounters i had earlier in my life through xanax and weed. i had a dream where a literal cancer went straight into my head. 2 months later when i quit all the drugs and embraced my situation i prayed for its removal.... its a neat thing

just wondering what yoru experiences were like and what your dudes looked like
