How to Improve Your Natural Psychic Ability - 4 Easy Steps

Label it psychic ability, intuition, second sight, or any other expression you care to use, but we are all born with the ability to know things beyond our natural realm of knowledge - an innate psychic ability.
As a psychic reader for over 30 years, I've never met anyone without some level of psychic capability, but it is usually rudimentary, uncontrollable, giving incomplete random bits of information.
Therefore, how can you reign in your psychic ability so that it is a clear helpful stream of specifics? If you'd like to reap the benefits this precious gift, try these exercises.
1. Listen to the psychic voice within.
Just as a muscle becomes stronger with use, so does psychic ability. The more you pay attention to it, the more you respond to the guidance it offers; the stronger it becomes, giving more detailed and comprehensible information. To develop this psychic muscle, start with something small. For example - you're leaving the house for the day and you feel the need to bring an extra pen with you. You already have one in your bag.
So normally, you'd ignore this urge, but to strengthen your psychic ability, listen to that voice within and respond to that urge - simply take an extra pen along. Later in day when you discover that, the pen you thought you could rely on runs out of ink. You'll reach in your bag and produce the spare. Your client signs the contract, the day is saved, and you've just fortified the fact that your psychic message was correct. Because you listened and acted in faith the next time the message will be stronger and you will understand more clearly what you need to do and why.
2. Meditation
Meditation is a powerful way of connecting to the spirit realm and after all that's from where all psychic information originates. Meditate on protection and clarity.
3. Stay away from Negativity
Negative people are an energy drain (physically, mentally and spiritually) if you must be around someone who is negative. Keep your psychic gift to yourself. There's no sense in subjecting yourself to ridicule and cynicism.
4. Give credit where credit is due
Finally yet importantly, do not attribute the accuracy of your psychic information to coincidence. Give credit where credit is due. If your psychic energy has given you, a piece of information that has served you well, be grateful; don't try to explain it away. Rationalizing is denial and that will shut down your psychic ability.
If you apply these techniques, you will begin to function at a higher psychic level, and before long, you will realize the rewards of your natural psychic ability.

Lucid Dreaming to Overcome Nightmares

Have you ever woken up screaming in terror after a nightmare that was so vivid you literally feared for your life - or perhaps the life of someone you love? We all have this experience from time to time, but if you're unfortunate enough to experience frequent nightmares, this is no laughing matter. What you need is some way to realize that what you fear is not real because you are only dreaming. This awareness is the essence of lucid dreaming - the best way to overcome nightmares.
Why Do We Have Nightmares?
We are more apt to suffer from nightmares during periods of stress, sickness, relationship problems, or traumatic events. Alcohol and certain drugs or medications can exacerbate these tendencies as they tend to suppress R.E.M. sleep - the phase of sleep where dreaming occurs. If you go to sleep under the influence, you may sleep soundly for some time, but the mind will not be able to dream. Once the effect of the substance wears off and R.E.M. sleep can resume, the mind needs to catch up on its dreaming, and this often results in more intense experiences. If those dreams are nightmares - look out!
The key to understanding nightmares, however, is to understand your fears. Shining the light of conscious awareness on these irrational fears can make them melt away. The benefits will be felt not just in the dream state, but also in your waking, everyday life. The Australian Aborigines believe that the dream state connects us to the "Dreamtime" from which all life came, and attach great importance to resolving issues while dreaming. But whatever your worldview, lucid dreaming can reduce your anxiety levels tremendously.
Using Lucid Dreaming to Overcome Nightmares
The following examples are supplied by perhaps the foremost researcher on lucid dreaming, Stephen LaBerge, in his 1990 book with H. Rheingold, Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming. Their research suggests that it is healthier to adopt a conciliatory attitude toward hostile dream figures, rather than a 'confront and conquer' attitude.
  • If being pursued, turn to face your pursuer. If it doesn't disappear altogether, start a dialog with it.
  • If attacked, show readiness to defend yourself but attempt a dialog. Or, feel love within yourself and attempt to extend this to your attacker.
  • If falling, relax and allow yourself to land. You are not going to die: it's a dream! Or, convert falling into flying and then go somewhere interesting. (This idea actually came from the Senoi people of Malaysia.)
  • If paralyzed, remember that you are only dreaming and adopt an attitude of curiosity toward the experience. Don't panic!
  • If unprepared for a test, you could simply walk out of the exam room and avoid the situation altogether. Or, have fun coming up with creative answers to questions.
  • If naked in public, remember that modesty is a social convention. In dreams, anything goes. So allow everyone else to get naked, too! (It's okay if this becomes arousing!) Who cares what happens in the privacy of your own dream?
Of course, all of these possibilities depend on your ability to realize that you are dreaming and to exert a certain amount of control over the process. So how exactly do we do that?
Fortunately, a relatively new and inexpensive audio technology known as brainwave entrainment offers a wonderfully simple way to enhance your ability to lucid dream. If you'd like to tame the fears that ruin your sleep, and convert your nightmares into exciting adventures instead, visit the following site, which offers the best overall review of brainwave products: Meditation MP3.

Lucid Dream Induction - Remembering Your Dreams

One of the things that help you with lucid dream induction is being able to remember your own dreams. This helps build up recollection which is important for various methods that you can use to induce yourself into one of these dream like states. The problem is when some of us wake up, after a few minutes we can't even remember what was dreamt about which is going to cause problems for recollection but there are ways that you can actually improve this though.
  • Get Enough Sleep
The first thing that you're going to want to do is make sure that you get yourself enough sleep. The body goes through an REM process meaning that you want to sleep for 8 hours experience the full process instead of just the 5/6 hours that many people usually get.
The reason 8 hours is a better length is because with the numerous dreams we have during the night, they get longer as time goes on, so the longer they are the easier it is for you to remember bits from them therefore improving your recall ability.
  • Using A Dream Journal
The best tool that you can have is a dream journal. This is the basic and most essential thing that you should look into getting if you want to experience lucid dreaming. This isn't anything special, just a notepad that you can leave next to your bed so when you wake up you can note down anything that you experience in your dream.
Some people tend to prefer to wake themselves up during the night (if you are using the back to bed method this is highly useful to increase lucidity and recall) after 4/5 hours to note down what they remember and then go back to sleep for the rest of the night to do the same in the morning. What this does is just makes breaking down the dreams into chunks easier to remember than using recall on a full night's sleep.
Working from the end to the beginning is normally the best way to remember, ask yourself questions like "how did I get here" to help you move backwards in your story.
Anything you remember you should note down; dream signs, objects, animals, signs, anything you remember goes in the book. If you can't even remember anything put down "no recollection" as this will help you build the habit up.
  • Dream Supplements
There are many things you can take to help increase how vivid and lucid you can get in your dream like state.
There are many herbs out there that can actually help such as calea zacatechichi which has said to be highly effective. However the last thing you want to do is get addicted to them by using them every night so just use them in small amounts (don't worry they are safe to use).
You can also take on more natural foods such as rice, tomatoes, oats, cheese, almonds and mustard seeds. What these contain is melatonin which increases how vivid your dreams are which in return makes them easier for you to recall.
Dream recall is highly important when it comes down to lucid dream induction so you will need to make sure that you learn how you can improve your recollection so that you are able to increase your lucidity the next time you're sleeping.
There are many other methods that you can use for lucid dream induction and some you might find easier than others too. You can also check out our blog which contains tips, tricks and more methods and information that can help you with your journey to achieve your lucid dream.

I See Ghosts, I Feel Things, I Know Things - Am I Psychic? What's Wrong With Me?

I know what it's like to see spirit, to hear sounds, to sense energy and to know or dream things that later happen in the same, or similar circumstances. Sometimes it can be really scary. Sometimes it can be really draining on you energetically and emotionally. Especially if you're a big dreamer.
So here is my 5 point plan to help you cope with what you experience on a psychic level.
Number 1 - Don't Panic!
Firstly, I don't think there is anything wrong with you. In fact, given my experiences these things are quite normal! You are more open, intuitive and sensitive than many others and while some of you may not be able to talk openly to others about it, please remember that you are not alone. These things can be controlled and either developed and integrated into your everyday life, or reduced, even stopped altogether.. When it comes to precognition always remember, you are not causing things to happen - you are simply aware of them before they do.
NB: If you're hearing voices that encourage you to do bad things to yourself or others, or to act out of character or inappropriately, or if you are causing harm to yourself, feel suicidal, or feel there is more to your condition then you must seek professional, medical help.
Number 2 - Start A Journal
Keep a diary of your daily activities including regular stuff as well as the spooky things. This will help you to realise how often it doesn't happen (the days when you're 'normal'!) and how often you're right about things. More importantly it will help you to get your thoughts out of your head and on to paper. It will help with the whirl of thoughts going round your head and will be useful for you in the future if you choose to develop your psychic, intuitive or mediumistic side.
Number 3 - Put Psychic Protection In Place
It is essential that you understand how you can learn to shut out the things that interfere with your everyday life, and maybe your sleep patterns (which is quite common). Psychic protection will help to keep you more grounded and able to function at work, at school or college and at home. For some of you, simply asking your spirit guides to stand around you and stop these things happening may be enough.
Number 4 - Meditate On A Daily Basis
Take some time to meditate each day. This will help you to remain calm and centred. Put psychic protection in place before you start. If you're comfortable doing so, you may want to let your spirit guide know (talk to them even if you don't know who they are, they will be around) that if there is anything that they wish to communicate to you, this is the time to tell you. Also let your spirit guide know that the rest of the day and night spirit shouldn't interrupt your life. You may want to include your meditation experiences in your daily journal too.
Number 5 - Make Connections
Connect with people of like mind if you can. Look for meditation groups, spiritualist churches or crystal workshops (just as examples). It's always a relief to talk to others who know what you're on about. If you are unable to do this in your local area, try connecting online. Although please be careful who you connect with, and essentially who you meet up with and put the usual precautions in place if you choose to meet.
Connect with your spirit guide too. You can do this through meditation given enough practice and time. To do this, put psychic protection in place before you meditate and simply ask you spirit guide to step forward during your quiet time and let themselves be known to you. There are also guided visualisations that can help you to meet your spirit guide, but remember they will only make themselves known to you when the time is right. I personally would suggest you find your guide for yourself rather than asking a medium or someone else to just tell you who they are as you need to be able to really connect with them so that you can work with them well in the future.
These steps may be enough for you, certainly for the time being, but the chances are you will need to decide what you want to do next. Do you want to develop these skills or shut them out? Once you've put these measures in place it should give you some breathing space to decide and then to research what to do next.

Ancient Egypt, The Land of Magic

As time ticks by and our nature changes ever so much, we are in fact caught up in our own dark ages, we could call it the dark ages of our mind. everything that we need to change ourselves is right in front of us, yet we do not see.
The land of magic have so much to offer the modern world, and yet people divide their knowledge as they have done with their own modern information, this only leads people away,... not towards..
The people of ancient Egypt are pretty much like us today, but their knowledge seems to go beyond anything the world has ever seen.
How can this be? How can we have lost so much and gained so little. Simple, we divided ourselves. Divisions in people, divisions in knowledge, divisions upon divisions.
Revelation;
Mythology, legends, poetry, fables are words that does not exist. They are merely words that was created in our modern time to communicate, about certain ancient manuscripts.
But they can never be a fact or a truthful name to anything ancient, simply because we were not there, and we lack the knowledge behind the words. We can presume, we can have theories, even ones that sounds most reasonable, but we do not have a concluding result that is pure truthful.
The people of Ancient Egypt thought nature was magical, and that magic existed all around them, and personally I would agree.
For is our earth not magical in itself? Is not the blessing of water, earth and air, a real truthful magical force by itself? All the planets in our endless universe, that just circle around in nothingness, is that not magical?
People in our modern world have always tried to harness the power of these magical forces, and rename them to something more, should we say earthly... Stripping them for their magical description...
By this I mean, just because the real functional description is lacking, does not mean that the function by itself is not magical.
Take Wind, can anyone explain its true functions or how exactly it works? yet we now sell wind power... but no one can create wind without air?.. they are one and the same.. a self creating force.
The human seems to be the most remarkable creation in the fact, that we a perfectly put together. Hands and fingers that can create, a subtle feeling to become more than just a primitive cell of life, an idea of what is to come, and the will and choice to change.
The people of ancient Egypt already knew this, and it was probably a much better foundation for having the biggest dreams, and creating such gigantic monuments, than what we are asked to believe in, today.

What Are The Pagan And Wiccan Holidays?

There are 4 major and 4 minor holidays celebrated through out the year by many pagan traditions. These include the four major agricultural and pastoral festivals and the four minor solar festivals of the solstices and equinoxes. Major Sabbats occur at the peak or midpoint of the four seasons. These Sabbats originated from the Celtic harvest festivals which were religious, agricultural holidays. The Minor Sabbats occur at the beginning of each season. These are marked by astrological events. The Sabbats are generally felt to be a time for the entire community or families to gather together, give thanks, celebrate and be merry.
Many times individual magick is not performed on the Sabbats. More often, a symbolic ceremony is held to mark how the changing seasons reflect our changing lives. The wheel of the year also corresponds symbolically to the life cycle of the Goddess, from the Maiden in the spring, to the Mother in summer, and the Crone in late autumn and winter. It also marks the life, death, and re-birth of the God (Sun), who is born from the Goddess on Yule (Winter Solstice), grows to maturity by spring, is joined in union with the Goddess on Beltaine, and dies on Samhain, to be re-born once again at Winter Solstice. And so the wheel
turns.
Yule - (Winter Solstice)
December 20th - 23rd
This sabbath represents the rebirth of light. Here, on the longest night of the year, the Goddess gives birth to the Sun God and hope for new light is reborn.
Imbolc - (Candelas)
February 2nd
The older Pagan names were Imbolc and Oimelc. 'Imbolc' means, literally, 'in the belly' (of the Mother). For in the womb of Mother Earth, hidden from our mundane sight but sensed by a keener vision, there are stirrings. The seed that was planted in her womb at the solstice is quickening and the new year grows.
The holiday is also called 'Brigit's Day', in honor of the great Irish Goddess Brigit. She was considered a goddess of fire, poetry and healing.
Ostara - (Spring Equinox)
March 21st
The Spring Equinox celebrates the arrival of Spring, when light and darkness are in balance but the light is growing stronger. The forces of male and female are also in balance.
Beltane -
May 1st
Beltane is the time of the sacred marriage which honors the fertility of the Earth; it represents the divine union of the Lord and Lady.
Midsummer- (Summer Solstice)
June 21st
The Summer Solstice, the longest day, is a time of triumph for the light. This holiday represents the Sun King in all his glory.
Feast Day of Mary Magdalene - July 22nd
(Not a traditional Pagan Sabbat)
Lughnasadh - (Lammas)
August 1st
This is the celebration of the first fruits of the harvest. The Sun King, now Dark Lord, gives his energy to the crops to ensure life while the Mother prepares to give way to her aspect as the Crone.
Mabon - (Autumn Equinox)
September 21st
During Autumn, we begin to see the waning of the Sun more obviously now as the days continue to grow shorter until the Wheel of the Year spins around again to Yule. At the Autumn Equinox, the days and nights are equal. It is a time of balance, but light gives way to increased darkness.
Samhain -( End of Summer)
October 31
It is said to be the time when the veil between the worlds is very thin, when souls that are leaving this physical plane can pass out and souls that are reincarnating can pass in.
Darkness increases and the Goddess reigns as the Crone, part of the three-in-one that also includes the Maiden and Mother. Divination is heightened this night. This is the time of year for getting rid of weaknesses. A common Ritual practice calls for each Wiccan to write down his/her weaknesses on a piece of paper or parchment and toss it into the Cauldron fire. Jack-o-lanterns, gourds, cider, fall foliage can be used as altar decorations.

Discover the Illuminati Secrets of the New World Order

The notorious 'Illuminati' are a secret society, formed on the 1 May 1776. It was said to have been formed by the mastermind Adam Weishaupt, and was intended for the worlds 'enlightened' population to take over due to power in wealth and knowledge. In today's world, we know the absolutely minimum about this low profile dominant group lying dormant in our world, and have no idea of its planned capabilities.
The powerful Illuminati have been argued by many famous writers to have been causers of the worlds main events, such as the on going credit crunch crisis or the UK priministeral elections. They simply have so much power they can do whatever they want. One of the most interesting facts about these people is that they are on the rise again, and are coming to power without fear this time, and with bias events in the world happening in their favour such as the USA presidential election, the Illuminati can control the united states from within, and even the world.
You may view this organisation of masterminds sly or secretive, but they are not at all evil. For instance the Illuminati claim to have caused the credit crunch was said by a secret speaker to be an attempt at training the worlds population up for knowledge and understanding when it encounters disasters such as itself when new world order is started. The new world order the Illuminati wish to install is a clever and well thought up system, where the worlds governments and leaders will be diminished and one grand master if the Illuminati shall rule the world with the supreme knowledge given to them through enlightenment. It will benefit the world in many ways, by stopping national debt and other humanitarian disasters, by enforcing the enlightened ones knowledge and power from the intelligent organisation.
But there is more... You yourself can learn more and become an enlightened member of the new world order, and help the world through intensive knowledge presented to you by hundreds of years of omniscient members such as Issac Newton or Albert Einstein (yes these were members of the Illuminati, notice the trend of intelligence). However the Illuminati are in a time of need, and offer a free information document on the following link to give a full, detailed description of what they are, openly.
So go on, it will benefit you in the time soon to come!
Learn the secrets most people will never know about the worlds new order!
Become enlightened while you still can.

Mystical, Magical Friend With Autism Telepathically Describes Her Perceptual Reality

Can you describe your type of communication abilities in regard to supported typing and telepathy?
It is significant to say that I am somewhat unique in my ability to interpret data. (7-8 percent of nonverbal people with autism currently share my ability but more could with the proper training) Many others who share my vibrational realm are hindered by a lack of cohesive thought. This happens because knowledge is not necessarily word dependent. I have mastered the ability to decode vibrations, and find the word that is most useful to describe it.
Nature is a complex organism of thought forms, reaching for vehicles of expression. I am capable of expression, only when all systems are balanced and synchronized. Achieving balance is like walking a tight rope with both arms extended hoping to keep my balance and to stay on the wire. As my partner, you assist me with the tenuous hold I have on my expressive vehicle. You serve as a balancing pole so to speak. Safety is part of the service you provide me. For I know, in most cases, you will help me rebalance myself before I fall. Even when the fall has not been averted, you provide me with a safety net. I know you won't let me flounder for long before you bring me to safer ground. Know that to master this linear world is challenging for me.
The tight rope can be viewed as linear thought. My understanding and reasoning are broad, but I am restricted by the confines of the wire so to speak. I can only stay connected to you when I am balanced on it. Precarious as it seems, I am shifting. Becoming more open to what physical reality has to offer. Beauty is present in all dimensions. It is difficult to limit oneself to a singular reality when being bombarded by invitations to other galaxies and planes of existence. Channeling higher thought forms through you is good for my brain and my nervous system.
What specifically can I do to keep you balanced and on the wire so you can communicate to those dependent on linear though?
Achieve a certain level of grounding. Just by being in your presence, I feel a sense of calm, just knowing I am not on the wire alone without a safety net. I target and translate thought forms that you might find interesting, by tapping into sources outside of myself, or I should say my body. I am encapsulated in an energy bubble that carries me safely from one domain to the other. Perhaps, you can picture it like a hot air balloon. You serve as a tethering cord so to speak. I allow you to be my guardian because you are skilled at thought transference. You are also good at listening without questioning too deeply. Frustration occurs when you are not open and flowing. I have trouble joining the current of your energy stream and feel confined to mundane practices of earthly survival. You are at your best when you enjoy being with me and are happy. Transfer of information between us is grounded and transferred by energy chords or streams. Think of our process as a flowing river. If you build a damn as you often do, my flow of information stops. Love, intention, joy and light-hearted acceptance, all assist in an uninterrupted flow of ideas. Know that you are going to have to remove the damn time and time again before you fully realize what you are unintentionally doing.
I am a friend, student, teacher, and advocate to amazing souls diagnosed with severe autism. Open your heart and mind and you will feel their presence. Telepathy, telekinesis, intra-dimensional communication and support is part of their perceptual reality. Love and connectedness is the universal theme.
