Good Advice From A Psychic Visitor
on getting started....
I've never really thought too much while I was growing up, (then again who does), that I was Psychic or Empathic- let alone I didn't even know what they were, until my mother started discussuing "Lilydale" around me. My sincere interest in harboring my abilities is a year old, now, (since I was 17 years old), and I've been 1 step forward and 2 steps back in the development process, as well as 5 steps forward and 1 step back.
Here is my advice...
Concerning Psychic ability, starting small is the best way to go for most, but that varies person to person. Notice you, everything in you, and everything AROUND you- look at your world. Spend a couple minutes each day meditating or even sitting quietly, and think about the smaller things in life that give you great happiness: what/who made your day that day. Start thinking positively, and get rid of those old negative tapes you play to yourself- negative thoughts manifest as negative energy, while positive thoughts manifest as positive energy, you know! Say a daily affirmation, such as, "I am beautiful both on the inside and out, and no one can tell me different," "I will develop further psychically!" and etc. If you believe in Spiritual Guides and Angels, START TALKING TO THEM! Just because you can't see them with your physical eyes doesn't mean they're not there or listening to you, you know ^_^ ! Meditation is very helpful when developing psychic abilities, as it puts you into contact with your subconscious mind, and it teaches you how to control it. To put it a little easier, meditation is just sitting in your quiet space, breathing deeply and rythmatically, closing your eyes and getting intune with your mind, body and spirit.
When you want to start testing out your wings, well, this may work for you: First what I did is I starting noticing how other people were making me feel both emotionally and physically on aside from how I took note that I was feeling in the beginning of the day...and then that manifested so that I could begin to physically feel their energy on me and interacting with my own, when they were standing next to me or around me. I also tried predicting small things for a while, like what color shirt would my boyfriend be wearing when he came into school that day, who would be on the phone when the phone rang, and etc. Just small things like THAT help you develop tremendously- because little by little your intuition and abilities are harnessed and worked on! I've had to go back recently, to my roots, to develop, because I had forgetten the basics. But since I started practicing all of this again, my abilities have been very strong again- I'm even getting events down to around the exact DATE, and people their exact astrology signs!
I do believe I am much more empathic than I am psychic, though. When I first started actively doing readings, I tried them online for most people who wanted help, or to whomever my abilities led me. I clearly saw the people and their present circumstances, and I saw important events of the past, and the images I used to get from these people were so vivid and clear- and I had no doubt about what I was seeing. Now everything is a little bit more fuzzy, and I would like to ask a question about that right after I get done.
The biggest thing anyone can do to develop empathically, is NOTICE HOW YOU ARE FEELING EVERYDAY, atleast 3 times a day, (when you wake up, during the middle of the day, and assess your emotional, physical, and spiritual feelings at the end of you day). That has put me in touch greatly with myself, (even my HIGHER self, through acknowledging my spiritual feelings...), and through being in touch with myself first, I was then able to be in touch with the way that other's were thinking and feeling. What I wrote about noticing how others make you feel, too, helps greatly. And eventually you being to learn to interpret that energy, and perhaps even read that energy and the possible futures!
So now that I am done with that, I would like ask a question, and perhaps even more people out there have the same: When I first started reading, I saw the people I was talking to online in my mind, I saw the people around them, their homes, I felt what they had been feeling, and I saw important events both past and present, and even smaller things that may seem trivial, but proved that I had made the connection...the images were very very clear and bright, and over the past 5 months they have been dwindling out, but are once again starting to get stronger: Could it have been problems I was having that got in the way of this, or do you perhaps think that I will never get the clarity I was had back?
I'd like to wish all of you out there much success and luck with their development! Thank you for taking the time to read! Jessica
Thank you for taking the time to write some very good advice for our readers. You ask a very good question.
It is not unusual to find those first moments of clarity getting blurry once you get going... there are a lot of reasons for this to happen, and as you have discovered, it does come back... I think I can help you with that also.
First, the explanation of why this happens... consider that first opening a gift - and a benchmark - now you know what is possible for you, you can work at getting back there... But if you were not also taught to clear yourself before and after your work, as you discovered, your vision gets clouded, the channels get warped... And, as you noted, if you were also going through a hard time personally, the darker energy that you were absorbing from others as you did the readings could infiltrate your space and make things worse for you... (understand that when you are working you are playing around in the energy fields of those you are reading for).
You need to have some ritual around your readings - for example I wash my hands and have a pee before and after every reading as part of my ritual of clearing... this is especially important when you are personally down... and it is important to say a few prayers to invoke the highest energy possible when you are working...
I also urge developing psychics to take time to meditate daily - this helps to clear and to focus; you must live a balanced life, eat, sleep and play well... and be attentive to the grounding - I work in my garden, play with the cats, walk my dog, spend as much time outdoors as I can - the wind and the rain are wonderful cleansers... and the sun burns off a lot of negative energy if you work with intention when you are outside... I also burn a candle when I'm reading to help keep the energy running...
The other thing that the dwindling of power is talking about is that you need to work on yourself in order to be a good reader... you need to be able to be really objective when reading - and this means learning how to take your ego and your own values out of the way... If you can't imagine yourself having to counsel a person like Hitler with interest, love and compassion at some point in your work, then you shouldn't try because it will take you down... But in order to be that clear, you must know yourself, and see the ways that you are influenced by your beliefs and attitudes - and how these beliefs influence the world you are creating...
What I am trying to say is that the blurriness is about telling you that if you really want that wonderful gift you first experienced, you're going to have to work for it... and I can tell you from personal experience that it is well worth the effort...
Hope that helps, Lotsa LLLove, Danielle
