Developing Your Psychic Abilities

This article begins our series of "What you need to know About..." various areas of paranormal phenomena. The articles are designed to provide the basic, essential information you need about a particular subject and offer resources for further exploration. Consider it an ongoing "Paranormal Phenomena 101" series.

Every once in a while, you get the feeling that the phone is going to ring... and it does. Or you know who it is that is calling... and you are right. A song is playing in your head; you turn on the radio, and there it is... the same song. You are overwhelmed, somehow, with the feeling that a close friend or relative is in trouble or needs your help at that moment... and you soon learn that is actually the case.

Are these examples of mere coincidence? Or is there something more profound taking place? Are we, in fact, tapping in to what many researchers believe is a shared consciousness - or superconsciousness - that connects all people... perhaps all living things? These are no longer just "New Age" concepts, but are subjects of serious speculation and research by a growing number of mainstream scientists in the fields of quantum theory, psychology and other disciplines. The idea that extrasensory perception (ESP) and related psi abilities are quite real (if difficult to measure) phenomena is gaining respectability.

Those who research ESP suspect that most if not all people have this remarkable ability to varying degrees. The ability is often likened to that of musical talent. Some people are naturally gifted with the ability to play and compose music, and practice makes them virtuosos. Others must learn and work and practice to be able to play an instrument even adequately or in the simplest way. But nearly everyone can learn to play to some degree. The same may hold true for psychic abilities.

Here's what you need to know about developing your psychic abilities.

Acknowledge the Ability

The first step is to acknowledge that ESP exists and that it is present within you to develop. Although this might sound silly or trite, begin by telling yourself that you are psychic. Make it a mantra that you repeat to yourself daily and often. This kind of self-talk has a scientific basis. It is now known that when a person learns something - whether it's a physical skill like wood carving or a mental exercise like memorizing poetry - through repetition, his or her brain physically changes - "rewires" itself, if you will - to accommodate that task. This process of rewiring your brain for psychic ability begins with your belief in it.

"It takes time for the subconscious to be able to communicate with the conscious mind, and the best way to do this is to simply start thinking about it," says Russel Steward in an article for Psychic Journal. "All these thoughts have a positive effect on developing your gift. Read about the subject. Knowledge will help, as you need some understanding of how things work. Adopt the policy you would take with a new hobby. Become involved in it, buy books and magazines, and look for more information on the Internet."

EXCELLENT POST STORMY!!!!!! :yahoo:

I love how it states that this IS becoming more "real" in the scientific world.

I also think it is quite awesome how music and poetry plays a role too. Have you noticed most paranormal sites have large "music" and "poetry" areas???

Makes so much sense to me!!

Thanks again Stormy- nice find!

Articulating was a very big problem for me when I was younger. Many thoughts would rush into my mind as a response to someone.

I was once told by a friend that I did not know what I was talking about. A year later, when it was obvious that I did, that same friend said that "we do not know what you are talking about".

After many years of practice I have gotten a lot better with concept presentations. I also work extensively with psychic developement. It is a deep process that is not well understood by anyone except for maybe 10-11 incarnated avatars. I am not one of them BTW.

However, If you are inclined to ask some questions, I will do my best to answer them.

I think you're getting pretty close to being one of them :)

I would love to hear more from you John. I have always valued your posts.

This puts me in mind of the stargate project of the early 70's and working up to as recently as 1995, a subject I have researched extensively and would very much like to get involved in myself.

Remote Viewing.

Thank you She-ra for those kind words. We all have a lot to learn.

I have some links on remote viewing that may be of interest. I found this presentation very insightful.
http://www.farsight.org/SRV/SRVmanualindex.html

For an overview of the subject, the main site was good.
http://www.farsight.org/

I myself do not recommend blocking out the ego-mind to the extent that this group recommends. I like to encourage a balance between the ego-mind(conscious focus) and the intuitive-mind(soul-mind). Their objective is scientific remote viewing and my goals are along the lines of self empowerment. To each their own.
