I believe that we are all psychic to some degree. The same
way I was drawn to the tarot, many of my clients are very dependent on their
psychic skills, even if they are not consciously aware of it. My main role I
find as a consultant is to focus on events in the sitter’s life and channel
information I feel called to share. Invariably, most of my clients are
interested in developing their own psychic abilities. I am currently working on
materials for an ‘Introduction to the Tarot’ class, and an advanced class. These
tips would fall under the advanced class activities, but I thought I would share
some seeds in developing your own psychic abilities for beginners, based on
what I’ve picked up over the years.
1.
Book of Shadows – I think it is important when discovering
your psychic abilities to document and journal. For me my notes have taken the
forms of a personal tarot and a dream journal. I also jot down random messages
I receive throughout the week. I don’t always need to take action on the
information I receive, but it helps me stay grounded and reflective on my
journey. This has resulted in fine tuning my ‘tools’.
I would invite you to explore your own
definition of journaling, it may take the form of a ‘Book of Shadows’, a ‘Dream
Journal’, a ‘Gratitude Journal’, or ‘Tarot Journal’. Or all of the above and
more!

Meditation – Prayer is talking to God – and Meditation
is listening to God. You may not be comfortable with the term God, Jesus, or
Angels. Feel free to explore terminology, books, groups that you feel drawn to.
Despite believing in God – I was reluctant to speak to Angels. I asked ‘source’
for ‘help’ talking to angels, and the angels sent overwhelming messages, a host
of angels descended and I could ‘hear’ choirs of angels singing. So, I’m down
with angels now - eep.
As in day to day life, listening to spirit –
or honing your intuition - is a skill and muscle you can learn to serve you in
your life and work.

Responsibility – With great power, comes great
responsibility. If you want to improve accuracy in regards to the psychic information
you receive, you must be willing to live your best life and show respect to
yourself and others. Bam, accuracy.
4.
Trust – If you are interested in exploring your
psychic abilities, I would invite you to explore all the books that are out
there. The practitioners you wouldn’t normally go to. Events in your community
that focus on light and healing. Trust,
Ask, Receive.

5.
Environment – I’m amazed how many of my clients
with a ‘Sun in Cancer’ do not keep track of the lunar cycles. The seasons, the
lunar cycles, our diet, our sleep patterns, all affect our moods, our health,
and at times our psychic abilities. I am very much affected by barometric
pressure, and living in a valley, I am very much aware that my psychic input is
increased when I travel to higher elevations or I am near a vortex. Develop
some awareness of your responses to your environment.
Astro.com, allows you to create a ‘guest’
profile, and you can check out how you are affected in different parts of the
world – just based on your astrology chart. Yes, yes I DO live on my Saturn
line (that was helpful information). http://www.astro.com/cgi/aclch.cgi?btyp=acm&
6.
Grounding, Protection, and Shielding – I’ve left
this for last, but it is by far the most important. None of us are perfect, and
‘spirit’ will show up in the most unsavory of situations, but it is important
to start to build healthy habits that protect you when you start to delve into
the unknown. Like learning to drive a car, using your signal lights, regular
maintenance, and checking your tires, there are healthy habits you can
incorporate into your daily life, that eventually you don’t have to think
about, they will just become automatic.
I could write a book on each of these points, and maybe I
will, but I hope they will assist and comfort you as you grown and learn on
your own journey. 3800
