Before addressing how to develop your psychic and spiritual abilities, it is important to have a good understanding of the different types of abilities and gifts that people can have.
Clairvoyance:
Being able to see very clearly in your mind's eye, either a future event or an issue or medical condition. In my healing work I often see the underlying issues relating to what is happening in a person's present life. Sometimes this involves seeing issues from their past lives which impact on their present life. One very clear example of this involved a client I worked with using reiki energy. She had a frozen right shoulder. I saw very clearly that this was the result of her sleeping on her right side and going to bed angry that no one was helping her with the housework. When she resolved the issue by speaking to her family, along with a second reiki treatment the frozen shoulder healed within two days.
Clairaudience:
Being able to hear inspired thoughts. When I work with a client, I often hear one of two things, either I hear what they say to themselves, eg their negative thoughts which lead to their unhappiness or I receive a channeled reading which I verbalise to them.
Clairessence:
Sensing smells which are not present. EG roses or frankincense. When you are doing healing work, this is often a confirmation that you are on the right track.
Intuition:
Intuition is that sense of knowing something is right or needs to be done. It is internal guidance from your higher self or your spirit guides. This is a valuable and easy to develop skill.
When you have a sense that you need to do something, and it's a positive task, follow it through. Another way to know if your intuition is guiding you is that you receive the same message over and over until you follow through.
Medical Intuition:
Scanning the body and aura with your palm just off the body. When you do this you will often pick up messages from the body, either a hot or cold spot, a vibration, a visualisation or a feeling or knowing that something isn't right.
Readings through touch:
Jewelry, furniture and even house readings all reveal the energies of the person who owns them. My grandmother was a very nervous woman and I was not able to wear her engagement ring until I changed the energy in the ring.
Mediumship:
Being able to connect with people who have passed over. This can be as simple as feeling as if you are having a conversation with someone in your head or it can be an experience through a dream. There are many earth bound spirits who have chosen not to go into the light who connect with psychics who can 'pick up' on their energies.
Energies of our loved ones also come through when we are thinking about them, psychics pick up on their energies quite easily.
Tarot Reading:
Just like jewelry or furniture readings, when a person shuffles the tarot cards their energy vibration resonates on the cards. It is very easy for a tarot reader to read the person's energy. The same applies to the cards that we pick. We intuitively pick the cards whose vibrations match our own at that time.
Reiki Readings:
Reiki involves touching the body or working in the aura. As you touch any area of the body, a good reiki reader will pick up messages via a vision, a change in the energy flow, clairaudience, etc and will be able to pass this information onto the client IF it is in the client's best interest.
Channelling:
Clairaudience comes through like dictation, you hear everything as if someone is speaking to you, and if relevant you pass this information on. Alternatively you listen to what you are being told and decide to pass on the information in your own words.
Channelled Writings:
Like clairaudient channeling, but where you write down the messages you are being given. I find it essential to write the messages down as they are received in a deep, meditative state and you do not always remember all of the information after the meditation.
Empaths:
Feel other people's energy
Dreaming:
(Dj vu) Some psychics dream future events, whilst others connect to the spirit world during their dreams. If you have an unusual dream, write it down as soon as you wake up.
There are many ways you can develop your psychic and spiritual abilities. These gifts are available to everyone. Become aware of how your inner self communicates with you, so that you too, can have greater access to your psychic and spiritual gifts.
How to develop your psychic and spiritual abilities
To develop your psychic abilities, the easiest way to do this is to practice meditation or healing techniques. The daily practice of meditation will help you to connect with your intuition and raise your energies to "pick up" on psychic messages. Alternatively the practice of healing techniques will also raise your energies to the spiritual level required to pick up psychic messages. Here is a simple meditation that you can use to develop your psychic ability.
Breath Meditation
Breath meditation is a very simple meditation that you can practice almost anywhere. Sit down in a comfortable position in your favourite armchair. Close your eyes and roll your shoulders backwards to open up your chest cavity. A slow breath takes around three seconds to inhale and three seconds to exhale. As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing all the way down to just below your navel. Pause, and then exhale slowly. As you breathe, your abdomen will begin to expand and contract. If you find that your shoulders are rising and falling, this is due to shallow breathing where you breathe into the top two thirds of your lungs. To practice deep breathing, place your hands on your navel and feel your abdomen move out and in with each breath. The added benefit of deep breathing is that your diaphragm moves up and down which gently massages your lower organs.
Practice this breathing for around twenty minutes a day to develop your meditation skills. Use this time solely to focus on your breathing technique. If you find that you have a lot of thoughts surfacing, do not become distracted by them. If you have a pen and paper beside you, you can use the first ten minutes of your meditation to write down your mind traffic.
If you need something to focus on, you can use the word "calm" or "relax" on your outgoing breath. If you are tired, you may find yourself falling asleep during your meditation, this is quite normal. When you have a time restraint though, be sure to have a timer handy to wake you. If you use a timer to finish your meditation, be sure that it is not too close to you, as it may startle you when the alarm rings.
Alternatively, if you want to finish your meditation naturally, imagine that you are awakening from a deep sleep. Wriggle your toes, stretch slowly, open your eyes and focus on the room around you. When you feel that you are fully awake, you can attend to your usual activities.
Healing Techniques
There are many spiritual healing techniques that you can use to develop your gifts. Meditation, Reiki, Spiritual Healing groups, learning Tarot are just a few. Find out what is in your area, join a group, read books. If you want to develop your gifts, make it your intention to find a group or teacher in your area, you'll be amazed how quickly one will manifest. Many years ago I wanted to learn meditation as a way to develop my spiritual gifts. That very day in the mail there was a flyer about a course in meditation. Wow, that was the fastest manifestation I'd ever had. It was also the course that lead to the development of my innate talents and gifts which had previously been hidden.
