Psychics are often thought to have unusual powers. Sadly, in some eras psychics were also thought to be witches. In fact, there has been such mystique, and confusion surrounding the psychic dimension of mind that some may be reluctant to accept their intuitive abilities, and willing to suspend their own insights for those of a professional reader.

While it is true that much valuable material can be brought forth in an intuitive reading by a talented psychic, you might also consider that YOU are psychic. Intuitive knowing is natural and innate, with much to welcome and much to be gained by learning to develop, access and apply your own psychic ability. This can be as simple as sitting in a rocking chair, or working in your garden; staring at the starts, or being immersed in the smell of the earth.

You see, what seems to be a mysterious and complex gift is really rather ordinary. All you have to do is to learn to quiet the mind, relax doing something you enjoy—or be at peace doing nothing at all—letting your mind float free. Stilling the mind has the power to block interfering thoughts from the busyness of the outside world. This is the first step to becoming your own psychic.

To begin, sit or lie down in a place where you feel relaxed and peaceful. Next, picture yourself surrounded by light of any color or any shading, briliant or soft. If problems come to mind as you concentrate, see what thoughts arise. Suggest to yourself that information for solving these problems, or any other valuable ideas, will come to you during this quiet time, or possibly later when other impressions or images spontaneously emerge into your mind.

Now just be– allowing thoughts, sensations, and pictures to come in and go out. There is no need to hold onto these thoughts or images or push them away. In this way you will find that tuning into your intelligent, intutive, inner self provides access to your wisdom, imagination and creativity.

You can practice this simple attuning exercise any time. Even a few moments spent this way can help restore energy and boost feelings of well being. This type of relaxating-into-the-wisdom time will bring your attention to insights needed for coping, solving problems and reducing stress.

Give it a try, you may be bedazzled by the power of your intuition. And let me know how it goes.
