Psychic Development Exercises - Developing Psychometry

A valuable skill which once learned can allow you as an individual to transcend the spoken word via psychic means is psychometry. Psychometry is normally quantified as the psychic reading of inanimate items such as jewellery or ornaments, however the techniques used in psychometry can be used to allow you to read and discern people, environments and buildings themselves.

Psychometry in its most basic form is a simple enough psychic ability to learn but in order to develop your perception to the fullest levels of capability takes time and effort.

Compassion Essential to Psychometry

Understanding the energetic body will help greatly when developing any psychic ability but none more so than psychometry. Psychometry is not only a skill of the third eye, but in no small part is a skill of the heart chakra also. The heart chakra is the centre of universal love and a vital component of universal love is compassion and non judgement.

If one sets about any task with judgement in their subconscious they are no longer empty and thus unable to discern the truth beyond themselves. Any information or visions may well be related to internal reflections of your own pain and suffering and not that of the item which you are attempting to read.

Using the heart chakra you can elevate your consciousness beyond your internal judgements and into an arena of compassion. Compassion allows you to resonate with an item, to understand and discern the true nature of the energetic impressions imbedded on anything which you are reading. Without compassion any developmental activities are doomed to failure.

Understanding this vital fact of spiritual and psychic development we can implement a compassionate state by using a short “waking” meditation. This meditation does not require any specific circumstances, positions or timescales it can be done very simply. It may take a little while at first but you will soon get the hang of it.

Sitting or standing comfortably, allow your attention to drop to your heart chakra.

Slowly visualise it in a manner which is best for you, some visualise it as a flower, I prefer a vortex like wheel.

Now visualise this flower growing and blossoming and as it does your heart chakra expands (if you are visualising a vortex see it spin and grow)

Some times the heart chakra will feel as though it is stuck at one area and wont grow beyond that, just push through with a bit of determination.

As your heart chakra grows beyond that stuck point you may feel a sudden burst of emotion or even become tearful, don’t hold it in, just release it and let it go.

Once your flower/vortex has grown to about the size of your rib cage, just settle into it and sense the love and compassion which now flows through you.

In this state you will be capable of resonating (becoming one so to speak) with anything or any place. This is the start state you should be aiming for before any spiritual work psychic or otherwise, but particularly psychometry.

Learning Psychometry

The first exercise will allow you to develop confidence in your ability to identify and resonate with energy patterns.

Find a number of identical objects I use five similar washers as they feel and look exactly the same.

Choose a washer which will be your test piece.

Mark your chosen washer with black permanent marker, and store the others somewhere safe.

Carry your chosen washer close to your body for the next week or so, allowing it to absorb your own personal imprint.

After a week, place your marked washer with the other washers (remember to allow it to return to room temperature)

Now the test.

Open your heart as described before, and then focus on the third eye (try and maintain a loose focus on both).

Without looking for the marked washer (you can be blindfolded or they can be in a bag)

Slowly work your way through all of the test washers and attempt to identify the one which you have been carrying.

You may find that you just know which one it is, or the others my feel cold and just not yours. It is difficult to explain the sensation’s you will feel which will help you identify your washer, but if you practice you will just know which one belongs to you.

Reading Items Belonging to Others.
Again settle down, and open your heart, once you feel you resonate with love and compassion, gently switch your focus to the third eye, and slowly empty your mind of thoughts.

Now pick up the item (favourite items are engagement rings and wedding bands)

Slowly roll it about in your hands. Really feel the curves the impressions and physical shapes.

Focus on what you feel, firstly in your hands, It may feel warm, it may feel cold, it may feel heavy it may feel light.

Switch your focus to your heart chakra and feel what the energy is telling you, you may feel joy, anger or emotion each individual is different.

Think about your body, do you feel anything impressing upon your body? Maybe a pain in the ribs, or a stuffy chest this could be a health complaint of the owner.

Now slowly place your attention on the third eye,

See any pictures that come to mind, sometimes these can relate directly to the emotions you felt in the heart chakra, sometimes they tell the story of the Item.

Take a moment now to absorb all of the information you have received, and that is the story. Try not to think to much about it, just open your mouth and speak your truth. Sometimes what you say may provoke an open response from the sitter, they may feel open enough to talk about things which would otherwise have remained bottled up. Be prepared for this.

Psychometry in Environments.
Using the techniques described above you can experiment in different places and surrounded by different people. Once you slowly start to resonate with an environment you will become one with the signals and information which are constantly circulating. You will know if an environment is hostile or loving and have an understanding of the reasons why.

This technique also allows you psychic access to the multidimensional nature of this universe. Once you develop this skill you will slowly open gateways to witness the spiritual realms which live hand in hand with this world, seeing those things which others do not see, feeling those things which others do not feel and knowing things which others can not know. This technique is not a clairvoyance technique per se but is certainly a technique which will re-enforce your clairvoyant ability.

Psychic Development Exercises - Becoming Clairvoyant

This psychic development exercise continues on directly from the psychic aura viewing exercise I wrote earlier. If used properly it allows you to open your consciousness to a flood of new awareness of psychic possibilities thus opening the gateways to higher vibrations of energy.

The objective of this exercise is not to become bogged down in the psychic energy of the astral but to elevate your consciousness slowly to the upper astral and beyond. This is done primarily by not becoming involved in what you see, but observing the fact that you do in fact see. Do not try and interpret what you see allow the information to flood the subconscious where the truth will arise at some time.

This exercise is sometimes called scrying, though i do not like the term as it conjures up connotations of all manner of black arts from the past. It is a method of seeing reality, and allowing both your conscious and subconscious mind to accept and develop its realisations. Subsequently you as a being will take these realisations forward into your life increasing your awareness of all that is around you and in deed part of you.

Psychic Clairvoyant Seeing Exercise
The first principle of this exercise is the understanding that you will not see what you are not ready or developed enough to see (hence the importance of the spiritual development exercises I published). If you can not yet fully see the aura, this exercise will enhance this practice but you will not move forward until that level of seeing has been achieved.

Find a place where you can relax in a darkened environment (not pitch black, but certainly not too bright either)

place a mirror at eye level in order to see at least your entire head.

Enclose yourself in an effective form of protection (if you do not have one of your own you will find some posted in this blog)

Now slowly relax and breathe deep into the pit of your belly.

let your eyes now settle into an awareness of the image on front of you. do not focus too hard just gently become aware of the area between your brows (your third eye)

Try not to blink, even if your eyes start to water (in many paths the tears of the eyes are considered healing)

Slowly become aware (but do not interpret what you see) of the aura, the colours and shapes.

Relax a little further but remain unblinking.

You may start to lose focus on the face, do not worry if things start to go a little fuzzy this is normal.

It may take some practice to remain focussed and unblinking for this length of time.

Slowly from the blurred and fuzzy image reflecting to your front, you will start to discern a new image, a face which may be familiar to you yet your not aware of whose it is.

If you are able to concentrate further, you will observe the faces slowly cycle from identity to identity,

do not become involved in what you observe just be aware that you are seeing,

Do not attempt to understand it with your conscious mind, allow your subconscious to interpret.

These images tend to fall into one of three categories, there are those of your other or past lives, their are those of your guides, and those of entities wishing to communicate. Your higher self knows and can discern which is which therefore allow it to deliver the answers rather than you mentally trying to find the answers.

Alternative Exercise
Rather than using a mirror, you may prefer to do this exercise with a partner, which is just as effective. You must sit within arms reach of your partner whereby you may both simultaneously view the other. Both of you must remain perfectly still during this exercise. Working with a partner brings other possibilities to light, such as you may view your partners other lives, or guides, or indeed see your own images projected onto your partner.

Benefits of This Technique
Using this method of accessing your true being is an extremely powerful method of awakening and nurturing your spiritual self it brings with it the realisations that you are more than you previously perceived and will slowly over time permanently open doorways to higher levels of awareness and consciousness, so much so that when these channels and doorways are strengthened and reinforced you can at will show another person, regardless of their development images of your other lives, guides or indeed spirits which are attempting to communicate.

Remember the object of these psychic development exercises is not to turn you into a psychic medium, but to allow you to further your experiential spiritual development, and anchor new levels of consciousness, hence the importance of remaining detached and impartial to that which you see and perceive.

Developing the skill of Psychometry is covered in the next exercise.

Psychic Development Exercises - The 3rd Eye Chakra - Opening and Awareness

The Third Eye Chakra is commonly associated with psychic abilities and in particular psychic clairvoyance, however it must be noted that this is only one part of our energetic anatomy which enables the whole spectrum of psychic gifts. (other parts of the psychic anatomy will be discussed later). The third eye tends to open and activate relatively quickly, especially if you are a frequent meditation practitioner (even though you may be working consciously on one of the lower chakras).

In general the first awareness of this psychic centre may be pressure or sensations in the brow area. This is one of the outermost vortex's of the third eye slowly activating to a new level of awareness. This vibration may later be accompanied by colours in spherical or cloud form. Which will in turn be followed by perception of depth and the colour violet or purple.

The awareness of these phases of development is important as it gives you an indication of progress and development. Also understanding what these phenomenon represent will allow you to know when you are capable of developing and utilising certain psychic abilities.

Brief Understanding of Sensations

There are multiple aspects to these sensations especially from a healing and developmental perspective. In this series we are interested in the developmental aspects of these sensations and what they mean to our over all progress.

Pressure in the brow- which could also be tingling, burning, or any other abnormal sensation indicates that your psychic anatomy has gained access and is activating to the level of the etheric realm of consciousness.

Colours in Vision- with eyes closed you observe any colour in any shape or form, most normally clouds or spheres. This indicates that you have developed to the point of Astral Consciousness

Violet or Purple Light - This is a very good sign and indicates that you are connecting with the upper astral realms, and therefore making progress towards liberation or higher development.

Violet is by no means the highest stage in development, but is certainly the stage that most people will reach for the time being. Another important stage in development which is still quite rare is that of seeing gold in stead of violet, which indicates development towards Christ consciousness and the spiritual planes. (there being a difference between the psychic planes (etheric and astral) and the spiritual planes).

Uses of Colours in Development

One of the most precious gains you can achieve during meditation on the colours at this stage in development is that of impartiality. The object is not to become drawn in and focused on the colours and what they are doing. Observe them but let them flow, and allow your subconscious to do the analysis. When you progress to the ability to consciously bring these planes of awareness into conscious living, being able to remove your mental process's will strengthen your psychic clairvoyant ability.

Exercise one - Stepping into Vibration
This exercise is simple and the most basic exercise, which many of you may have already surpassed but i will place it here for completion. The objective is to slowly relax into meditation and let your attention drift to your 3rd eye chakra. Once you feel a vibration or pressure in the area, simply hold your attention there and allow the pressure to do whatever it pleases. This will slowly strengthen the etheric body of awareness in your third eye.

Exercise two - Observing Colour
Following on from exercise one slowly over time you will start to observe colours, once again simply observe do not judge or become involved in analysis of what you see as things will unfold on a subconscious level. You are now slowly attuning to the astral plane. At this stage you may begin to see faces or eyes, this is nothing to fear it is other beings curiously checking out the new light in town.

If you imagine the astral being a dark place where every being gives off its own light signature. Some light signatures are brighter than others and some are brighter than most. When your light signature stands out of the crowd you will attract beings like a moth to a flame. Just observe and release you are not required to do anything at this stage (though in the future you may become able to talk to these beings, some of whom may want help etc)

Exercise three - Tuning into the Upper Astral
As before when observing the colours, slowly let your attention shift from the colours dancing or drifting in the foreground to the darkness in the back ground. Over time, even though it is pitch black you may get a sense of depth and space this is you slowly tuning into the upper astral. Slowly over time you will observe a violet or purple colour, which brings with it a sense of peace and love.

There is much benefit in just holding your attention at this level, just remember do not become mentally involved in what you see, just observe and drift. In the last exercise you may have encountered faces, and some of these people may have wanted your attention, but now at this level, your wellbeing and progress is the only concern, we are starting to approach the higher spiritual realms.

Exercise four - Going With It
A direct lead on from the previous exercise this exercise involves psychicly exploring what is beyond the colours. All that is required is to let go. Previously I said that you should hold your attention and don’t become involved. This exercise requires that you become one with the ebb and flow. You may feel yourself spinning clockwise or falling backwards or forwards, do not panic you are perfectly safe, just go with it. During the early stages you will become over excited by simple things, but once you become used to the process and more able to just let go, you may find that many things are revealed to you, but the only way you will know is by going through the meditative process.

This exercise is outstanding for delivering the experiential progress which so many crave. I can not begin to describe the type of things or places you may see, as each individual is different, has different guides and teachers, and many different lessons. This exercise is the key to the gateway which holds those answers. It is very simple, and some of you may have already experienced things but never truly understood how you got there. You now have a system which you can repeat time and again in order to learn and grow.

Ever wondered how to Become Clairvoyant The next post gives an excellent exercise.

Psychic Development Exercise - Communicate with your Higher Self

One of the biggest questions by those who are interested in psychic development is "how do you talk to your higher self?". Many of those people and in deed many of you will have had a tarot reading or some other form of divination reading. These techniques are merely tools for accessing the higher self. They are pretty well formatted techniques by which you only have to read and understand the signals, there is not necessarily any required "psychic gift" in order to have a reasonably successful reading done. It is direct communication from the higher self through these tools and into your consciousness.

I have found it to be far more empowering to receive communication directly from my higher self. By establishing a connection you can communicate any time any place without the embarrassment of pulling out a deck of cards or a pendulum on a busy train or in a restaurant at dinner time. There are many ways of establishing this psychic connection but I will describe one that I have found to be very useful, and then show you how to develop it further.

Establishing a Psychic Connection

First of all you must get yourself into a relaxed and receptive state, you will over time be capable of doing this automatically but at first it may take some time. You can do this by any means that works for you, this is all about empowerment and is not prescriptive, you are in charge of your life. You can meditate gently, or light some candles and go for a relaxing bath, whatever it is that works for you the only rule is

You must be able to still your mind, and sense your body.

In your relaxed state, just sit and think some statements into yourself. They do not need to be of any great importance just feel the words move around your body.

I frequently feel the words come from my upper right hand side of my brain and travel down to the centre.

You can split your head up into quarters, and try and locate where the words come from.

This may take some time depending on your sensitivity, but this short exercise lets you know the base level of your conscious communication with your conscious mind.

This is you to you communication which you do every day without though.

You must now let your higher self know you wish to communicate with it. You can do this by just simply stating that intention.

The first thing you must do is develop a basic signal for yes and no.

This signal could be anything from a tingle sensation to a taste or sound it really depends on you.

(for me I feel almost like a second head inside my own, which nods for yes and shakes for no)

Once you have established the signal, you must now test the psychic signal, in order to discern the veracity of the communication.

The simplest way to do this is to ask a yes or no question relating to yourself i.e. "is my name Donald Duck?"

I would hope that unless you have beak and a speech impediment the signal should come back a resounding no.

You can then ask if your real name is accurate, which I would hope would come back a yes.

As a means of further building confidence in this system, ask a friend a question which you do not know the answer to, for instance "who was their first teacher at school?"

If your psychic connection is strong enough you should be able to accurately get the answer (don’t be disheartened if this takes some time to get accurate, spiritual and psychic development is a life long process)

Developing Your Ability to Communicate Further

Once you have become proficient at the above form of psychic communication, you will be ready to receiving more accurate direction and possibly even have conversations.

Once again become relaxed and receptive, maintaining a clear mind.

Split your head up into four sections (like you have just cut a birthday cake)

Now make a statement (nothing exciting just enough to reconfirm exactly where your own words come from)

Again let your higher self know that you wish to establish a psychic connection.

Now ask a question. (preferably not a yes/no answer)

After a time which may vary depending on your sensitivity, you may hear an answer.

Try and locate where this answer comes from (it should have originated from a different location in the head than your own self to self communication) (for me higher self communication comes from the upper left side of my head)

(remember these sensations are not necessarily the part of your brain or even your body receiving the message it is just how you feel it).

Summary

By working and developing this technique, you will not only enhance your psychic ability, but will enhance your spiritual development and bio-energetic template. The enhancement of the bio-energetic template in itself is a great leap forward in your development, as communicating and acknowledging the higher portions of your being re-establishes an axiational reconnection of the meridians and the bridge bringing you one step closer to truly becoming a multidimensional being.

This technique also in time reinforces you psychic clairaudient ability, and so in time, conscious communication with spirit and higher beings is reasonable target to aim for. I would not suggest that you try and attempt this too quickly as there are issues and dangers involved in such practices. I recommend allowing things to unfold naturally giving your energetic body time to toughen up and be capable of dealing with issues which may arise.

Psychic Development Exercise - Meet Your Guide

Meeting your spirit guide can be an exciting and psychic consciousness expanding experience. Depending on your level and your stage in development, your guide may vary in parallel. It is not uncommon to have a number of guides each with a different capacity. Having access to your guides can help greatly with psychic development as they can help keep you on the right track, and can also act to superimpose and confirm your intuition.


Some psychic mediums do not interact with spirit in any other way than through their guides. Thus allowing the guide to maintain a safe barrier between you and the astral realms. As with all spirit communication a high level of personal discernment is required in order to prevent mischievous entities from posing as a guide or a source of good and causing mayhem.

Who and what is my guide?
There is a common thread of belief that a guide is a soul who has made an arrangement to annul some of their negative karma by assisting you through your life. This may be true, however it does not make a huge amount of sense to me, and certainly has not been wholly confirmed by my psychic exploration. I have found most guides to have been spiritually aware beings in former lives, by that I do not necessarily mean that all guides are enlightened beings or such like. what I am suggesting is that spirit guides would necessarily have a solid understanding of spiritual principles in order to assist and allow you to develop to your fullest capability.

Many report their spirit guides to be of a native American or Chinese origin and this is most likely as a result of both those cultures having a solid grounding in both a spiritual and earthy type consciousness. I find it very unlikely that someone would have jack the ripper for a guide, in order to atone for his sins, as how could he really assist in your growth based on solid spiritual philosophies that he may have no grounding in what so ever.

The first guide i personally met was an old Chinese man and the second was a native American. During my psychic journey i had very little or no communication with either of them, even though i met them on many occasions. It used to concern me as to the reason for this lack of communication, as so many "psychic" and "spiritual" people reported great communion through their guides. I was eventually answered by one of my guides, who said "what exactly did you need to hear? we guide you either do or don’t do, its your choice, but as yet we have not required to speak to you"

One other sort of guide, who I have had communion and education by various means is my ascended master. As I have mentioned before ascended masters are beings who have completed their earth journey and have moved onto higher planes of existence. We all work with and under the ascended masters, but most are not ready for full contact as yet. (based upon the philosophy that 144,000 need to make the conscious journey to that stage in development, before we as a planet start to ascend, and we have not ascended yet, it is likely that we have not breached the 100,000 mark yet).

My journey with my ascended master has been amazing, and awe inspiring, and without belittling my previous guides, working with the ascended beings has opened my universe so wide that I can hardly compare my reality now, to that of even five years ago. ( I am not special or chosen or super duper, I am just a being who has made a decision to develop and has stuck to it, I do not believe anything until I see it, and I persevere with developmental techniques, so this is a reality for each and every one of you, and everything I have used to get here is either written or will be written in this blog)

Meditation to meet your guide.

There are any number of ways to meet your guide, this is a technique that i use, but it is purely visualisation and intention, which takes your consciousness to the level required to see and communicate with your guide. This is a suggestion, and I hope it gives you ides for ways that you can comfortably develop.

I select a comfortable meditative position.

Slowly start to relax and breath deep into the pit of your belly.

As you relax further listen to any internal noises you may hear (ringing, whooshing or even drum beats)

Imagine looking up and seeing a clear blue summer sky.

Feel the warmth of the sun heating you comfortably.

Hear the birds sing, and relax.

Listen to the wind gently blow, it may be blowing through long grass or a field of corn.

You slowly stand up and walk slowly through the field, feeling the comfortable heat of the sun.

You see a gate in the distance, walk slowly towards that gate.

Beyond the gate you see a wonderful stone circle, walk towards it.

You feel the peace of the area and so decide to sit for awhile.

You can choose to sit in the centre, or choose a stone and rest with your back against it.

Enjoy being relaxed in the sun, in your peaceful haven of your stone circle.

Imagine now a beam of red light coming from the heavens into the centre of the circle out to each stone and penetrating your being.

This is followed by an orange and then a yellow beam.

Relax and surrender to those heavenly lights.

A green and then a blue beam followed by an indigo and then a violet.

Each beam energising you and lifting you to a new level of consciousness.

Finally a white beam penetrates the centre of the circle, moving out to each stone and causing a cyclone of light which surrounds and protects you.

Each stone adding its own protective energy to the cyclone, it gets faster and faster, and lifts your consciousness out of this earth realm.

A door of light opens a short way to your front where you see a silhouette,

you ask that silhouette to step forward, and it does and stretches out its arms with love.

This is your guide and it comes and sits beside you.

Choose now to ask your guide anything you wish to and slowly gently await the answer.

You commune and converse with your guide for as long as you wish, there is no rush, there are no rules.

Eventually your guide has to go, but leaves you a small gift, something which is personal to you,

Take this gift and thank your guide,

Your guide slowly stands up and returns to the door of light, and disappears.

You lie a little longer, before returning to your home.

Returning gently to 3D ensuring to ground yourself in this time and this reality, being thankful for all that you have experienced.

Bless you

Psychic Development Exercise - Aura Viewing

The importance of aura viewing in developing psychic abilities is that it allows us to fine tune our senses to bands of energy which is beyond that which is normally perceived (which ultimately is what the psychic skills of intuition and clairvoyance is). This skill will develop certain aspects of psychic intuitive ability and enhance our psychic clairvoyant ability immensely. Aura viewing can be used in many practical applications. You can ascertain the health or development of an individual. You can use your reading ability to reinforce those psychic intuitive hunches you had about someone’s inner personality and thus be more able to give accurate guidance and advice. You can even use it as a gauge and measure of your own spiritual and psychic development and progress.

What is an Aura?
I have spoken previously about the chakra's and the bodies bioenergetic system. The Aura is simply the outer most expanses of that field. There are four bodies in the aura (actually there are many more, but even the most developed auric viewers will only be able to see those four) They are the mental, emotional, spiritual, and physical and each operate at higher and higher frequency bands. At first you will only be able to view those closest to the physical sometimes known as the inner aura. This is the part of the aura which reflects the vast majority of the blocks affecting our emotional and physical well being in the now time and so this is the part of the aura we will be concentrating on in this post.

Each of the major chakras has its own frequency and colour (I have spoken in detail about this in the chakra posts and so will only brush the subject here) The strength and development of each chakra reflects itself on the colouring of the inner aura, i.e. imagine each chakra as a large wheel what you see of the aura is the outer expanses of the chakra interacting with the other chakras in the auric field. If one particular chakra is more developed than the others then that will be the predominant colour in the aura i.e. if the aura colour is predominantly blue, then the individual in question will be developed up to the throat chakra.

What i have mentioned above is true and is a system used by most aura readers (even if some do believe the airy fairy notion that we have browns etc in the aura which is a huge no it doesn’t we have no brown chakra so where then does the brown come from?). There is however a key principle of understanding which many commercial aura readers do not seem to know or understand and that is the fact that you will only ever see the highest colour of your own development, no matter whose aura you read. Therefore you can only truly read those auras which are less developed than your own.

Why is this? energy is everywhere but in our physical field it represents consciousness therefore the higher the energy vibration the higher the consciousness. If you have not yet reached a specific level of consciousness you can not perceive that level of energy clairvoyantly and therefore will not be able to view the entire spectrum. Equally you will at some stage reach the level of consciousness whereby you will be able to view the entire spectrum and thus will see all colours in the aura regardless of the development of the individual.

With that in mind the first method of aura reading stands true at that stage of your development, but once you reach the second stage i have describe above, you must have a greater understanding of the chakric and bioenergetic system in order to provide an accurate reading. (I hope that hasn’t confused any one dear oh dear) in short don’t pay anyone to give you an aura reading as it is a not likely that they will perceive the entire picture. It should be used as a tool for your own development and understanding.

Aura Viewing Psychic Development Exercise 1
The first phase of identifying and viewing energy is to simply recognise the energetic form. This is normally white in colour and tight in form (around 1 - 2 cm thick). You can use anything you like in order to do this maybe a plant or a bottle however I always recommend using your hand.

Sitting or standing next to a plain background,

Gently raise your hand up until it is in direct line of sight.

Choose a point on your hand and look off to the edge (about 2 cm away) of the hand.

Slowly relax and let your vision drop out of focus until you see what looks like a tight white band around the hand. (You may have to bring your hand closer or move it further away experiment a bit)

This is energy

Aura Viewing Psychic Development Exercise 2
The next phase of Aura viewing is slightly harder and may take much more time to develop.

Using your hands again (it must be a living object from here on as inanimate objects do not have the depth of field)

Slowly reach the point where you can observe the tight energetic band.

Now choose a reference point or judge where you perceived the outer limit of the energy band to be, and reset your focus there (at the edge of the white band)

And again relax and let your eyes drop out of focus, you may need to reposition the object closer or further away.

Maintain this exercise until such times as the tight white band expands and becomes a non uniform cloud type formation, which will be much larger than the previously perceived energy field.

You are now starting to perceive the inner aura.

Aura Viewing Psychic Development Exercise 3

Now that you have observed the aura it is time to attempt to view colour. In order to achieve this you really either need a volunteer or a mirror which is stable and on a fixed point.

Stand in front of the mirror (remember you may have to move closer or further away, you may need to stand with your back to a plain background, everyone is different, experiment a bit)

Now choose a point on the body, maybe the neck or the chest.

Repeat the process of relaxing and identifying the white band.

Refocus on the edge of the white band, and relax further.

When the white band becomes a cloud.

Choose a reference point at the outer edge of what you perceived to have been the cloud, and relax further, allowing your eyes to fall further out of focus.

Slowly over time the cloud will start to yellow (this stage may take the longest to achieve)

Relax a little further, and using your knowledge of the chakra system, see if you can perceive any further colours, like greens or blues.

It will take a bit of effort and practice to reach the stage where you can easily view colours, try not to be disheartened if it does not come straight away, everything new takes time to integrate.

My Experience
For me learning to view auras was initial confirmation that at least some aspects of spirituality were true, because I could see it. I used this to motivate me on my developmental path. In time as my healing ability increased I used it to allow me to focus on any issues or blockages that I perceived and have found and still find this skill to be powerful and useful.

I have used aura viewing to reinforce my intuition in order to provide counselling, as people don’t often tell you or even realise the depth that issues can reach. I have used it for healing in order to ascertain precisely where to focus my energy and what type of energy to use. The number of uses for this skill are only limited by your own imagination, but the prime objective is to help you develop the part of your senses which has been shut of and lain dormant awaiting your call.

Psychic Development Exercise for Enhanced Intuition and Clairvoyance

One of the biggest blockages to Clairvoyance, Intuition and Psychic development or should I say psychic ability occurs when we are just children. Have you ever heard it said that children are extremely psychic? I bet you have! what changes? what stops those intuitive events from occurring later in life? Believe it or not "good parenting" prevents the continuance of psychic abilities.

Parents know that in order for them to instil discipline in a child and allow them to grow and function in the material world they must keep their child in the here and now. They attempt to stop their children using imagination to enhance their play experience by using statements like "its in your imagination" or "your making that up" or "stop daydreaming" and without realising it they are asking their child to stop flexing a set of very important spiritual muscles.

The ability to imagine or visualise, is the foundation of the psychic capacity of clairvoyance (the ability to see what others can not see). In our 3D material world, visualisation has almost been outlawed as if it were a form of insanity when in fact it is creative focus and the foundation of the manifestation of all abundance in the world of matter. In its most basic form "if you don’t have a dream, how are you going to have a dream come true?" Though it is not manifestation i am talking about today, but the psychic ability of clairvoyance.

If under use and avoidance of visualisation is a blockage to psychic clairvoyance then quite simply it stands to reason that in order to resurrect our hidden abilities we must master the art of visualisation through concentration on the imaginary.

Psychic Development Exercise

The following exercise, like many other spiritual exercises, is multi faceted, it is not only an exercise to increase clairvoyance through visualisation but improves concentration exponentially and gives you the strength and ability to look inside yourself in order to see what is there. Primarily this exercise is a mindfulness technique, but through its use you will find your intuition and clairvoyance will increase greatly.

The technique itself is very simple, yet extremely powerful.

First you must adopt a comfortable meditative position (preferably one where you can look without undue stress on your body at an object)

Breathe deep into the pit of your belly, and slowly start to relax and regulate your breath.

Choose an image, preferably a spiritual one (possibly an image of Jesus, or a piece of sacred geometry or a symbol, you can even use the naked flame of a candle).

Slowly focus on the image, taking in every detail, every colour every pen stroke.

Over time you will burn this image in your minds eye.

At this time gently close your eyes remaining focussed on the image in your minds eye.

Again without too much effort, see every colour and shade, every pen stroke every line.

If you lose the image gently open your eyes and refocus.

At some point during the visualisation of this image your mind will take over, and the image may start moving or rotating. It may get larger or smaller.

You may feel or smell the image, Just flow with it, allow the image to do what ever it wants to do.

At some point you will become so familiar with the image that you become one, with its energetic blueprint.

You will become so in tune with that image that you understand it without a word ever being spoken.

Your intuition has bridged the gap of separation and you have flexed your clairvoyance muscles.

Repeat this exercise as part of your spiritual practice, and you will regain the psychic ability to see that which others do not. The psychic power of clairvoyance.

Summary of Uses

Using this technique as a method to intuitively understand spiritual imagery, geometry etc will accelerate your journey through the path of knowledge to the path of wisdom. You will create for yourself a bed of understanding which will benefit you as you grow spiritually. It will take time and effort for your psychic clairvoyance to return but in the mean time your intuitive ability will grow and flourish.

There is not a single spiritual ability or indeed aspect of life which does not require concentration and focus in order to ensure success. This exercise will allow you to develop that hugely important skill which will pave your journey with spiritual gold. The main reason so many seekers can read about spirituality but not practice the concepts is due primarily to lack of concentration and focus. Through this exercise you will develop both.

This technique flexes the visualisation muscles which in many have lain dormant since childhood. By exercising them again you will be able to furnish the intuition, which you have developed relatively quickly, with a cloak of imagery. What you intuitively sense will be translated by the natural ability of our body to visualise, into an image of what is present that others do not see. Psychic Clairvoyance.

Psychic Development

Psychic development, in my opinion is not the be all and end all of spiritual development, it is a side effect of the path. As we start to realise the true nature of ourselves and our natural energetic blue print opens up everyone will experience some sort of psychic phenomenon. This is perfectly natural and indeed useful to your spiritual journey in itself. To develop psychic abilities you do not have to be special, or a chosen one or what ever other label that some people wish to adopt. You are psychic, you always were, it is only the energetic blockages and dis-empowerments that have restricted the flow of energy through your psychic channels and centres rendering your view of the world as material and 3 dimensional.

There are draw backs of psychic development as well as the many positive aspects which I will discuss in this post.

The Benefits of Psychic Development

One of the things that will have occurred to you during your spiritual journey (if it has not yet it will) is your reliance on others and sources beyond your experiential comprehension. How do you know for sure that what you are being told is true? Even if what you are being told is true, how do you know that what you are being told is in alignment with your own individual path and best highest good? The fact is you do not. You have to wade through the charlatans and cowboys, then filter through those who use their talents to empower themselves and keep you dis-empowered for their continued benefit, before you even find a glimpse of the truth.

By pursuing psychic development you open up a whole new universe of direction assistance and possibilities. Before you open up your psychic abilities you are restricted to what you can learn by what others want you to know. You can find the answers which are appropriate to you by using your inherent tool of psychic empowerment.

Your ability to work for the good of all sentient beings enhances with your psychic ability. I will go into this in much more depth in a later post, but suffice it to say there are things that are essential to the development of the collective which can be done psychically allowing your process of empowerment to be a process of empowerment for all.

You are as infinite as anyone else on this planet. You have the same abilities as anyone else on this planet anyone who says otherwise, does not have your best interests at heart. All I have ever intended to do in this blog is to show you how to safely open the doors to yourself, I don’t want to be your master, i want you to be your own master, to hold your power and spread your light.

Draw Backs of Psychic Development

The major draw back, which is perfectly apparent if you look around the web, is the fact that many seekers do not progress from their stage of psychic development. As they experience the excitement and intrigue of the other planes of existence they get sidetracked, and may think they are developing spiritually but in fact they are not. They are feeding the ego, and disempowering our collective.

Yes there is value to be gained from assisting those who are as yet unable, but as I observed in the rules of one highly ranked psychic forum “if you see any of our competitors advertising on our site report it to us and they will be banned”, things have gone way too far, not only are they ensuring the spiritual dis-empowerment of their members, they have also convinced their subscribers to protect the masters of the psychic arts from any competition. (I wont place a link here because I have scanned their aura and it is not good energy)

“The wise man built his house upon the rock”. You can join a psychic development circle at any time, and will most probably start to see results reasonably quickly, however it is those who follow a psychic path rather than a spiritual path who are most likely to fall into the stumbling blocks I mentioned above. As I have always recommended by building a solid spiritual foundation prior to allowing your psychic powers to open up naturally you will know what to do with them rather than following a purely commercial path.

There is an energetic risk of transference through every contact you make both physically and psychically. Without adequate spiritual development you will have no idea that this occurs and more importantly what to do about it. This transference builds up over time and eventually impinges on the health of our friendly neighbourhood psychics. I have yet to meet a psychic who was aware of the affects of transference of negative energetic imprints. Through psychic development after spiritual development you are more able firstly to deal with these issues, and more importantly contact higher dimensional entities who will provide a positive transference experience.

Summary
I do highly recommend flexing your psychic muscles. This sort of development will empower you, and your journey. It will take you out of the clutches of the cowboys and onto your true path. I believe however it should be done at the correct time. That time will be particular to each individual but my suggestion would be at a time when you have outgrown the curiosity and are truly devoted to your own personal, energetic and spiritual development.
