Tricks to Psychic Self defense
The Lighted Disk
In your minds eye see a .50cent size circle of light in the middle of the palms of your hands (one in each) and one on the 3rd eye space (that’s right between and a tiny bit above your eye brows). See these places begin to vibrate and pulsate with light.You will then pull the positive full force light from the universe, in its complete and entire strength. Filling these disks with that light until it can take no more. As you do this more and more often the time to fill the disks will be cut dramatically.
Next determine where the negative energies are coming from. It will be where you feel cold, tired and worn out from, drained if you will.
Now lift both palms of the hand towards the place that is draining you. This can be done with discretion and you don’t have to put your hands all the way out and front of you like a super hero. No, it can be subtle and work just as well. Also be sure to point your forehead space towards the problem as well.
With feet planted well on the ground, to allow a good connection let go of the energy you have been containing. “See” a line of Light flow through the air and “hit” the problem in question. Continue to do this with the energy full force from the universe and watch the problem begin to struggle and try to run from the light. (Be sure to continue to fill and draw light from the universe to your lighted disks so you can make ready second and third shots.)
Within a few minutes the problem will HAVE TO LEAVE because the situation becomes to uncomfortable as it implodes within the light and is lit up removing all the negative energy it had been emitting towards you.
When you are finished tone down the energy you are bringing in until you shut it off completely. Take your hand of power (Always your right hand no matter what hand you use) and direct all remaining energy through it, again in a discrete manner. This discharges the light from your body into the floor and lights up the area in a protective bubble like shield. This act not only clears you it makes sure your psychic self-defense for this area is sealed and active even when you are doing other things. You’re done here and your task has been accomplished.
Aura/Chakra Manipulation
When you wish to make ready for an attack, like when you sleep and you are physically unaware heres a technique that is helpful, it called Aura/Chakra Manipulation.What you do is before you go to sleep generate a good amount of power to make your aura tingle abit, but not enough to keep you awake. Just a nice lazy buzz if you will. To do this just think of an open water spigot and see yourself adjusting the water you want to release. Find the level that just gives you a nice slow even flow or drip.
Next say out loud so the subconscious mind hears this,
“As I walk in the dreamtime, let my Aura and Chakras act as levels of protection from the many misaligned entities out there. Let no one and nothing negative touch me, I am protected by the light of all that is loving and positive.”
Next get ready for bed and relax your physical body is done for the night; now the aura takes over and its many levels of existence on many planes are awoken to your instructions.
If you are attacked by a night visitor who wishes to feed off you or do you harm, it will stop it. See you have set it up much like an electric fence which will buzz lowly as a warning but at the first sign of attack it will zap anything’s bottom with full 100% strength and then some. It will work tirelessly for you, as you sleep not drawing anything from you, only from the energy of the universe, so there are no side effects to you.
Oh and even if one level of the aura was to be infiltrated by negativity, the other levels would fill in and chase or remove the offending entry. There are many many levels of chakra (energy vibrational centers) not to mention the meridians that work in tandem with them. So this technique is pretty much fool proof for safety as you sleep. That’s it nothing more to do even on waking, your all set.
Wrapping them up
This is easy and to the point, no muss no fuss. You are being attacked, drained! You feel it! Look toward the person or entity that it seems to be coming from. Backtrack the “ribbon” that seems to be feeding off you, keeping the light held back a bit so it doesn’t race down the ribbon to the entity until your ready.To do this “see” the energy being sent to you to drain you, light this ribbon up with positive light from the universe. Follow it all the way back to the sender.
Once the sender is found you allow the light to flow right into the entity. This acts as a light switch inside the entity that is intent on doing you harm and causes them to be immersed in Loving Light energy. Of these entities you may find that many may run from the returning light (these are the dark one who have chosen no part of the light.) Others may act silly or drunk when the light surrounds them, (these are entities who don’t really know what they are doing and are just feeding randomly without meaning to cause harm.)
Just let the light enfold them for about 3-5 minutes then shut it off. You will feel a huge difference and your tasks of Psychic Self defense is done. There is no need for grounding here because the energy has already discharged and grounded when you enveloped the entity.

Spirit Guides
Every one has a spirit guide. Some of us are more "in tune" with our inner self than others so we are more aware of them. But rest assured even if you have never met your spirit Guide it's been there all along. Guiding you in subtle ways, helping you and teaching you. With the help of these Spirit Guides we can experience the emotional, physical and spiritual lessons of this life with the help of someone or something that cares for us and who truly has our best interest at heart. Through this interchange and interaction we are able to improve and enrich the insight we gain from the karmic lessons, struggles and ordeals that become parts of our everyday lives. These Spirit Guides help us see how such experiences can be elevated beyond the physical and examined as a spiritual message.
There are many types of Spirit Guides for many many various reasons, but for now we will look a 5 basic types.[/COLOR]
The first I like to call Spirit Helpers. These are usually animals, much like power animals in shamanism. There are usually three (3) basic animals at a time that are a part of you, that aid in making up who you are at that very moment in time. Now there can be more but I have found that there are at least 3 that are yours especially.
Let me explain further. There can be such animals as a bear in your personality make up. Bear is there to teach you introspection's as well as assertive qualities and protectiveness. Maybe Otter is found in your make up also, otter teaches feminine traits and fun. Then maybe horse follows.
Horse is raw power! Power of creation and of putting into manifestation all the ideas you have. These animals help make up who you are at that moment and can be called upon to aid you in accessing their characteristics and qualities. They help you understand and come into balance with all around you. These animals may reside at your safe place, they can not be owned they simply come to you because of a need and you should be greatly honored that they choose to work with you not for you. There is much to learn from spirit helpers, listen and learn.
Now Spirit Helpers stay for as long as they deem the need to be, then another may take their place. Some stay a lifetime or many life times while others just visit for a stage in your journey. All may be accessed and talked to in your safe place at any time.
Before you ask, such animals I speak of here does not have to be Earth reality based. Yes you can have Dragons, Griffins & Unicorns and others of which the likes we do not know. In any case they are a real part of you and as such deserve your respect and your acknowledgment and your thanks.
Guides who you knew on Earth planeThe second Type of spirit guides are Earth Based Spirits who have crossed. This can be anyone from a relative to the Old lady down the street to a friend but they are someone you knew in this lifetime. Someone who was active in your life and who aided you. That person you could always call on for help and they would answer. They are still active in your life after they "cross" and still try to guide you and help you in any way they can
Guides from a Past LifeThe third type are people from past lives. They are usually from your soul group, meaning that you have spent many lives together incarnating often at the same time. They are at the same level of spiritual advancement as you are and are "soul friends."
They are there to aid you in "getting" your lessons so you can continue to spiritually advance. They are usually intertwined in helping you get through all the past life karmic issues (both positive and negative, remember Karma isn't just bad.) They guide you in realizing the gifts and talents you have stored away from achievements in past lives.They pretty much aid you seeing the full essence of the self and in growing and adding to the aspect of who and what you truly are, for that is their main job…to help you grow and reach higher spiritual levels.
Guides from a Other Planes and DimensionsThe fourth type of spirit Guide is often misunderstood. They are beings that are not from our time or place. They can be from other planets or even other dimensions. The problem with many of these beings is that they do not look like anything we have ever seen before so they scare us. We think of them as monsters and such.
Remember when you were a child and you used to see "boogie men" at night, maybe coming out of the closet. No one ever believed you but you know they were real and they were there at the foot of your bed. You were drawn to these spirits, but at the same time there was fear and panic associated with them, cause they came to you at night when you were alone.
Such beings may have been spirit guides from other places. Why did they come to a child? Because a child is open and sees many things that we as adults have been socially programmed not to see. They came to make contact with you, but upon realizing the fear you associate with them they ceased to "show" themselves to you. But don’t take that to mean they don’t still interact with you on a more spiritual level. They are ready to make themselves known to you when you can accept them without such fear. So don’t be astounded if you meet your spirit guide and it resembles a childhood "monster" it has been there many years looking out for you and helping you succeed.
Just a quick personal note; It has been my experience (and the same for many of my students) that many healers see and remember such visitors from child hood. Then upon meeting some of their healing guides they are face to face with them once more. These advanced beings from other planes and dimensions have much knowledge to share, especially healing knowledge and are kind, loving and compassionate despite their appearance. The key here to seeing if this is a gentle being is your intuition, if once in its presence you feel "icky" then follow that and leave. If however as many report, after getting through the initial shock of the appearance they feel warm and loving light from the guide then you know this is a caring being who has your best interest at heart.
Master GuidesThe final Spirit Guides we will take a look at is considered Master Guides. These are guides that are assigned to special people who are destined to be Spiritual Leaders, or Avatars. This master guide is several spiritual planes above you and helps you learn to lead. They guide you in making the best possible decisions, grant wisdom when needed and instills a respectable ethical standard in your very soul. They aid you in making you a clear connection to the Goddess and God and help you to receive clear messages from them. They also hold classes on the astral/dreamtime where you attend and teach you many of the great mysteries spiritual leaders need to know. They teach you how to 'give ' this information to others in the best possible way and aid you in the accession process of your own spiritual well being and evolution. It is an awesome task to be a spiritual Leader and not for everyone, these guides make such a task easier.

Empathy
Basics on working with this gift
Empathy; how to beginYou have a gift called Clairempathy- (Clear "emotion") To sense or "feel" within one's self, the attitude or emotions of another person. It is difficult to learn to use as it is not uncommon to feel overwhelmed by others feelings and emotions. What one needs to do is to learn to raise and lower shields. These shields are different for each empath and thats why its hard to teach. However there are basics that each individual can start from and later adjust as needed.
Each morning you need to raise the shields about you to a level that allows you to hear but not feel the thoughts and pains of those about you. This is fairly easily done by taking a few minutes and focusing your energies, see the solid wall being erected and see it holding out those energies that may cause you to become to involved. Allow it to build for a few seconds then seal the wall with white or bluish purple light. I know this sounds simple but it truly does work! Sometime the simple things are the best, and remember that you have the natural talent within you not to just be an empath but to naturally deal with these abilities, we just need to direct you on the right road as you discover what it (this gift) means to you.
Still another Easy TechniqueAnother helpful easy technique is many empaths carry a small little broom like the miniatures ones you can get for dolls or such. Some even just tie together a few special feathers. These brooms are weekly spritzed (not soaking wet just a spritz or two) with rose water and carried on the empath when things get to be to much they just get out the tiny brooms and brush away the energies. In their minds eyes they see the energies returning to the universe to be reused in a more positive manner. The little broom with each stroke in the air, is building an impenetrable bubble around the empath and not allowing the energies in. While doing this (brushing the air about you or your hands) the empath should be thinking something like “These energies are unwelcome and wont be tolerated. I am sorry for how those who send them feel, I honor them but I do not take them on as my own. I am a person with free will and I will not be manipulated by these energies any longer in my life
Thats it, now just put your broom in a special bag and put it away! See its an easy technique but it works and its great. If any one asks what your doing tell them its a stress release game where you clean your area and let it go at that, many are willing to accept stress release games.
Other easy Methods
There are other things I recommend for beginners and they are so simple and easy there is practically no room to mess up. All you need do is to carry specific stones and let them do for you what they are meant to do.First off is CELESTITE This stone aids in spiritual development, the development of empathy, and the "learning" how to pray in a successful manner. Praying is much like spell casting, which is pretty much what you should be doing every morning when you erect your wall. Then with the use of this stone it wont take so much time or focus and you will learn how to quickly reinforce the wall when needed or how to let it down when you wish.
The second stone to be used is Peach Moonstone also called the stone of Empaths, and is often used to judge if a person is truly an empath or not. If one is a true empath it works 100% in alleviating any unwanted energies, if they are not a true empath it does very little to help. As you can see this stone is a real must as you begin your work and as you grow into the advanced levels as this stone is used to release energies absorbed from others. So when you have that headache or are hurting or just feeling to overwhelmed this is the stone to touch and hold. You can even create an elixir from this stone by dropping it into water for a few minutes and let the water be activated by the stones qualities. Then drink the water (be sure to remove the stone first) and you will be amazed how well it works for you removing the unwanted energies and helping the true empath become more balanced and protected from unwanted energies
The third stone to consider having with you is especially good for shielding and advanced healing work is called Tangerine Quartz. The properties of this stone are as follows; this stone is Feminine in nature and gives off dual purposes in Empathy and right (positive) will. It allows the user to Shield in Empathetic nature automatically without conscious thought, as well as still being able to tap into those qualities at will. It aids in "in-take healing." Those who take in the illness of the one they heal and quickens the cleansing of the healers body. It works especially well when used with Hawks Eyes (blue tigers eye)
The fourth stone I recommend is Emerald which is often used to "hone" empathy skills as you begin to develop your own way to use your gifts. This is a stone of Honor as well so it will not allow you to stray into negative use of your gift and will keep you safe within the light. It will also protect you from Psychic Vampires and psychic attacks in general which can be made by people who are attracted to the amount of energy you are working with and feeling. You become a great "fast food" for them to eat off of.
******************************************
Well those are a few simple and easy things you can do to aid in your development, just remember if it gets to much or to scary you can always pull away by building that wall. Nothing can stop you for you have the power and you have the natural talent. There is nothing to be afraid of as you dabble here and there in your gift if you remember that you must always be responsible with this gift. That you must never invade without asking, keep in mind the harm ye none rule (and taking away a persons choice is harming, as well as reading things they dont wish to have you feel or see.) Right now at the beginning, you may feel this is more of a curse and wish it would just go away. Yet as you grow and explore and as you learn the uses of this most awesome gift you will learn that there is much more to it than meets the eye and that you were selected to have this gift for very specific reasons. Just keep to the path of Honor, Respect and Positive Intent and you will grow in the manner in which the Lady and Lord meant for you to and you will be Blessed.

[h=1]How to Discover Your Psychic Powers[/h]
Anyone wishing to develop their psychic powers can take some simple steps and learn to use their innate gifts. We are born with psychic ability, some use it as naturally as breathing, some work to release it, within others it lays dormant, and some dismiss the idea completely. Everyone at some time in their life has had, or will have, a moment where they instinctively know something is going to happen, they can’t put their finger on how they know, but it is as strong as the sense of pain that no one can deny. How many times when the phone rings do you know intuitively who is calling? How often have you thought of someone and they visit, or you bump into them, or you have a flash in your mind’s eye that something is going to happen, and it does? Some know from very early in their life have the gift and use it unconsciously, while others who know they have it choose to pursue a career in occult practices, some have flashes of psychic ability and want to learn more. Many aren’t sure they have the ability but feel they may, and some want to learn more about clairvoyance but don’t know where to begin.
For the curious who have never delved before it can seem a daunting prospect, there are so many books written by adepts giving no inkling about where to start. These books are fascinating to read, but for the willing and eager novice shed no light on what the first step should be, or where and how it can be taken. Before you begin recognise you are the genie in the bottle, and once the cork is removed you will emerge as the apprentice, eager and ready to wave your magic wand. Your magic wand can be bought, made, or metaphoric, it doesn’t matter because magic begins with thought. If you think you have psychic ability, and believe you have psychic ability, your first magic step has been taken, and with dedicated practice will be enhanced.
Sacred Space:
Sacred Space – Your next step is to choose a spot in your home, it may be your bedroom, or a quiet area of your home, it could be a spare room, the only requirement is that it is a place you will not be disturbed, and somewhere that will be dedicated to your practice. This is to be your sacred space where you are going to create a comfortable, ambient environment for yourself. You will need something to sit on, this can be anything on which you can relax and feel comfortable. You will require one lamp and a desk, or small table on which a candle in an appropriate holder, incense, and oil burner can be placed. Decorate your table with crystals, a talisman or amulet, a plant, small vase with flowers, or a statue. The purpose of your sacred space is to allow you to still the mind, body and spirit. Your mind will respond to your sacred space on a subconscious level, and each time you enter your cocoon to rest quietly, your mind will switch off spontaneously. To enhance and release your psychic ability requires a relaxed body, a still mind, and a spiritual connection which leads to an otherworldly portal. Keep this space for meditation purposes only, by doing this you allow the spiritual and psychic energies to be maintained and enhanced.
Meditation:
Meditation – Meditation helps to still your mind, opening you up and allowing you to tune into, and release your psychic abilities. Taking you away from distractions such as ringing telephones, television, chatter, both inner and outer, enabling you to block out the day to day hustle and bustle. Before you begin meditating, switch off any mobiles, telephones, radios, computers and televisions, and made sure you will not be disturbed for at least 1/2 an hour. When you offer yourself the gift of meditation, you find that your mind and body begin to relax, and you will find yourself surrendering to the peace spontaneously, as time in your sacred space becomes a ritual. Meditation is a wonderful way to alleviate stress, relax muscles, clear the mind, and calm the nervous system. Some people use it to alleviate pain, and it is especially useful for those whose days are high pressure, either on the home front, or in a working environment. Many who suffer from headaches use meditation to relieve the pain, especially those whose headaches are caused by tension. Natural healers often recommend regular meditation for people who suffer from migraines, and anyone any age can benefit from regular meditation. There are simple styles of meditation, and elaborate ones requiring specific rituals. There are many to choose from, adopt the one you feel most comfortable with, or you may like to try different ones, it all depends on the type of meditation experience you want. You will feel the benefits of meditation mentally, physically, and spiritually, it is not unlike the quiet moments of daydreaming we all indulge in.
Meditation is something the individual will put their own stamp on, even when following the same instructions no two people meditate in the same way, or have the same results. In time you will find a style of meditation that works for you and you are comfortable with. The time to meditate is the time that suits you. Some people love to meditate early in the morning, others prefer later in the evening when their home is quiet and still, others will choose a favourite time during the day. Once you begin meditating, aim to continue knowing that the more you do it the easier it will be, in time it will become second nature. You are aiming for the level of attention and absorption a child at play has, children become so enthralled with what they are involved in, they are unaware of what is taking place around them as they revel in their own world.
Before beginning any meditation you will find that ringing a small hand held bell creates a beautiful vibration, and signifies the beginning of your meditation. Buddhists often use bells when they meditate, a tinkling bell helps to balance our energies. When you meditate you are opening yourself up to cosmic energies, this is necessary while you are doing psychic work in order for you to be more receptive. However once the psychic work is complete it is necessary to close yourself off until the next time you meditate
Silver light Meditation: Step into your sacred space and light your candle, oil burner, incense, and sit comfortably with your back straight, both feet flat on the ground, with hands placed palms up on your knees. If you are sitting on a bed, or a cushion, stretch your legs out in front of you, placing your hands palms up on your legs.
Breathing: Close your eyes, relax, breath in deeply and exhale slowly, do this several times then resume your normal breathing, let your breathing become rhythmic. In your sacred space time stands still and you learn to be in the moment, thinking of nothing but your gentle breathing in and out, and the sense of peace filling you. If your mind wonders, consciously bring yourself back into the moment and continue relaxing into your breathing, as the tension leaves your body and the spiritual energies heighten you will feel a little floaty.
Visualisation: While sitting in your blissful state, visualise a silvery white light beginning at the base of your spine and flowing upwards, reaching your head and spilling out from the top of your head like sparkling stars soaring upwards into the universe.
Stillness: Remain still, breathing rhythmically and thinking of nothing, feel the inner energy flow and meditate for 15 minutes, if you are able remain like this for longer, meditate for up to 1/2 an hour, then silently count down from ten to one and open your eyes. Remain seated and allow yourself to be still for several minutes. When you open your eyes after meditating take notice of your senses. Take notice of whether you feel different, or if your senses are heightened, such as colours appearing brighter as you look around, or the candle flame appearing more intense. Is the scent of incense stronger, or the fragrance of essential oil more potent, are you more aware of the texture of your clothes and their feel against your skin? Touch the cushion or chair you are sitting on with your fingertips, noticing if your touch is more sensitive. The five senses that are normally taken for granted, taste, touch, sight, smell and hearing, will be heightened after meditating and from here you are ready to begin your psychic work.
Once your work is complete it is necessary to close yourself off, you do this by sitting comfortably with your eyes closed and visualising the silver/white light moving downwards. See it moving down from the top of your head until it reaches the base of the spine where it forms a small cloudy silver/white ball, visualise the ball reducing in size until it disappears. Open your eyes, clap your hands or ring your bell. You have now closed yourself off.
Candle Meditation: When you are comfortable and settled, gaze at the flame of the candle, breathe deeply and let your breath become rhythmic, keep focusing on the candle in a relaxed manner. Keep your focus on the flame for a few minutes, you will become very peaceful, and once you feel totally relaxed close your eyes, you will continue to see the flame of the candle in your mind’s eye. Open your eyes again and focus on the candles flame for a few more minutes, then close your eyes and keep them closed. With your eyes close and your breathing relaxed, visualise the candle at the base of your spine and the flame glowing and moving upwards, filling you with warmth and peace. Stay like this for 15 minutes, or up to 1/2 an hour if you can. When you are ready to finish your meditation, take three deep breaths, then exhale slowly. Resume normal breathing, and silently count down from one to ten, open your eyes. Allow yourself to remain seated and give yourself time for contemplation, you are now ready to begin your psychic work.
To close yourself off, sit comfortably, close your eyes and visualise the candle slowly reducing until it is a tiny barely discernible flame, imagine yourself blowing it out with one puff of air. Then silently count down from five to one and open your eyes. You are now closed off.
Chakra Meditation: The chakras are your seven inner energy centers, these are the points where the energy flows through our body, once the chakras are open energy surges upwards from the base chakra and out through the crown chakra, opening you up to cosmic energy. The base and crown chakras are always open, allowing energy to move through the body gently and slowly. When all the chakras are open they vibrate at a higher speed, this is needed to open you up to cosmic energies in preparation for your psychic work. It is also necessary to close the chakras when you have finished your psychic work, bearing in mind that the base and crown chakras will always remain open. When all the chakras are open, the crown chakra is the doorway for energy to be channelled through from the cosmos. When the chakras are closed the vibrational energy of all the chakras slows to a gentle pace.
The Seven Chakras:
(1) base, (2) navel, (3) solar plexus, (4) heart, (5) throat, (6) third eye, (7) crown.
Base – first chakra – base of the spine – colour red.
Navel – second chakra – navel or sacral, just under the navel – colour orange.
Solar plexus – third chakra – below the breastbone – colour yellow.
Heart - fourth chakra – center of the breastbone.
Throat - fifth chakra – hollow of the throat – colour blue.
Third eye – sixth chakra – middle of the forehead – colour purple.
Crown chakra – seventh chakra – top of the head – colour violet.
Once you familiarise yourself with the colour of each chakra, you are ready to begin meditating. Prepare your sacred space, sit down relax and make yourself comfortable. Give yourself a few minutes to regulate your breathing, allowing your body and mind to become still. Place your hands palms up on your knees if you are sitting on a chair, or on your thighs if you are sitting on a bed, or on the floor, close your eyes and focus on your breathing only, sit like this for a few minutes.
When you are ready, begin your meditation by focusing on the red glow of the base chakra, visualise the light moving upwards until it meets the orange glow of the sacrum/navel chakra, visualise the two lights merging and continuing upwards. The light reaches the yellow glow of the solar plexus chakra, and moves upwards to the green heart chakra, it continues to the purple throat chakra, merging with the purple third-eye chakra. The light continues up to the violet crown chakra, spilling out through the crown and surging up into the universe, opening you to the white cosmic light. You are now at one with the universe in a place of bliss, a part of the cosmic energy, you have opened the doorway, allowing the glowing white light of the cosmos to stream down and fill you. Meditate for 15 minutes, and if you are able up to 1/2 an hour, then when you are ready bring your consciousness back to your breathing, take a deep breath in and exhale slowly, do this three more times. Relax into your normal breathing, count backwards from ten to one and open your eyes. After you have finished meditating and given yourself time to sit and feel, you may begin your psychic work.
Upon completion of your work it is necessary to close the chakras (the base red and the crown chakras will remain open and vibrate more slowly). Sit comfortably, close your eyes and beginning with the violet crown chakra, visualise the light moving downwards, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and merging into the base chakra red. Open your eyes and clap your hands together once, or ring your bell, your chakras will then be closed.
Beyond the five Senses: After meditating you become more aware not only of your five senses, but of your sixth sense, your intuition, knowing, gut instinct, whatever you want to call it. It is that feeling you can’t quite put your finger on, the knowing you find hard to define, the feeling that sends shivers down your spine. The indefinable something that is difficult to put into words, you can’t taste it, touch, smell, see, or hear it, but you know with every fiber of your being it’s there. It’s the premonition that tells you something is wrong, or you know something unpleasant is about to happen. Have you had the vague sense that something wonderful was going to unfold, yet you had no reason for your sense of wellbeing. Do you ever know what someone is going to say before they say it? Are you sometimes certain you know what someone is thinking, without them having to utter a word? When you have these feelings and there is no logical explanation, you are tapping into the energies that are swirling around us all the time. Psychic information is readily available, it’s just a matter of using your psychic abilities to tap it. Intuition is called the sixth sense because it is inherent in everyone. We each have intuitive abilities, just as everyone has artistic or athletic abilities to greater or lesser degrees. Everyone can draw a picture or throw a ball, but some people are naturally more gifted in these areas, and once they hone and develop these gifts, they can become professional artists or athletes. The same is true of intuition, some people are naturally gifted intuitively, and once they focus and develop these gifts, they can become professional psychics. Just as everyone can become a better artist or athlete through training and practice, you can develop and improve your natural ability and benefit from your intuition and psychic powers.
Psychic powers can be developed and intuition sharpened, it’s all a matter of becoming aware and being able to tell the difference between what you think will be, and what you feel will be. Your thoughts come from your conscious logical mind, and intuition is your non logical sixth sense working for you. Also don’t expect to be right all the time, the important part of developing your psychic ability, is the belief that it is there in a nascent state, it just needs to be awakened. You will find that your intuition is sometimes very strong, and other times barely discernible.
Once you harness your psychic awareness you will have a deep understanding of how it feels, you will know you can communicate on another level without conscious thought, and without doubts. This sense of knowing is like the beating of your heart, it just is, it has no relation to your physical senses, it is channelled from a higher realm. It is like the understanding you have with some people you meet, and without any logic you know and understand them. This understanding goes beyond the earth plane and is coming from a place of spiritual awareness, the more you accept this higher sense, the easier it is to understand and accept.
When you are using your psychic ability you are looking into the soul of a person, the physical manifestation you look at is very different to the spiritual core of that person. When using your psychic ability for another person you are looking inside them. You learn to accept that people are who they are, people are capable of changing their behaviour but they cannot change their nature. Learning to develop your psychic powers takes faith, the kind of faith that Christopher Columbus had in believing that the world was round. Or the faith Nostradamus had when he documented his predictions, done at a time when people were being accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. People believe there is a higher power watching over them, they make offerings to the omnipresent being, they chant and hold religious gatherings, they worship this power. They can’t smell, taste, touch, see or hear it, but from the depths of their being they know it is there. Your psychic powers cannot be seen, they are intangible, indefinable, yet they are there, and by acknowledging the gift within you infinite possibilities will be unearthed.
The words “life force,” we hear often, do you know what is it? Can you describe it? Can you harness it, if so how? Can you see it? Although it is difficult to explain or describe, we believe it is there and it is quite natural for us to use the term “life force,” without fully understanding what it is, we simply believe. You are not a physical being having a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being having a physical experience. Centuries ago people were more in touch with their intuition and their faith and psychic powers helped them to survive. Their instincts were heightened because they had to be, they were more in tune with the weather, the seasons, and all that grows. They learned how to be in harmony with the earth, with nature, with their intuition and their knowing. Maybe they didn’t call it psychic powers, or even refer to it, but they certainly used it, because their lives depended on it. With heightened psychic powers grow you are in a better position to help yourself and those close to you, loved ones, family members, friends, colleagues. Psychic awareness will assist you in your working life and your love life, it will help you to develop an intuitive understanding of the inner workings of your body, and the messages your body sends. As you become more in tune and responsive, you will attain a greater level of understanding and be able to unleash your potential, leading to more flexibility, acceptance and understanding of others.
Awaken your Psychic Powers:
When you begin psychically reading the energy from someone or something, it is necessary to put aside your thoughts and your ego, ego has no place in psychic work, think of yourself as an instrument through which information channels. When using your psychic powers it is necessary to let go of all the things concerning you in your life, and to step beyond your problems or worries. By doing this you are preparing to open yourself up to information, and energy vibrations emanating from people, objects and places. Meditation allows you to bring yourself into balance, mind, body and spirit, making you a clear channel receptive to information. For you to be a successful psychic tool, being in balance is a necessary part, hence the more work you do on yourself, the more finely tuned you will be as a psychic instrument. Developing your psychic powers is a lifelong journey, and there will always be something new to learn, to help yourself develop you can work on your own energies and learn how to make them flow easily.
When you enter your sacred space to begin your psychic work, it is necessary to consciously leave all your troubles behind. By allowing yourself the freedom to meditate without any distracting thoughts, you enable yourself to become a more powerful psychic. To work to the best of your ability, leave your conscious, earthly thoughts behind and surrender to a higher consciousness. It is absolutely necessary to be open to the information you are receiving, and not to be ruminating about any number of earthly activities. It will not help you, or the person you are reading for if you are distracted about what time the gardener is coming, or if you are wondering whether you remembered to cancel your dental appointment, or if you will make the theater on time. Psychic work requires attention, and intention.
Psychometry; The term psychometry, was first used by an American professor of physiology, Joseph R. Buchanan in 1842, one of the first people to experiment with psychometry. His inspiration for the name came from the Greek words psyche, meaning soul, and metron, meaning measure. The results of Professor Buchanan’s experiments with his students were beyond coincidence, and his compelling theory was that all objects have souls that retain a memory. He wrote a book, Journal of Man, in this he documented the results of his extraordinary experiments. Recorded in an object’s aura, is its past, and like people an object has a field of auric energy surrounding it, and objects contain within them the mental aura of the person possessing the object. Someone with psychometric abilities is able to hold an item that is quite old and access the emotions of the person who owned it. An antique has hidden within, emotions, experiences, and the life path of the owner, a gifted reader will be able to perceive the life and death of the person.
Psychometry is the reading of an object through touch, within an object there is a history, a store of information left by those associated with it, a blueprint. A sense of its history and the person, or people associated with it, can be perceived through impressions emanating from it. An item is imbued with vibrations from emotions and actions from the past. Some psychics will put the item down and touch it, others like to hold it in one or both hands, often the psychic reader will close their eyes and touch the item to their third eye. Psychic readers will use their own discretion depending on what they are most comfortable with, seeing things that are not perceived using normal vision. Emotions are powerfully contained within an object, and the reader will be able to tune into these emotions which reveal something about the person being read for. With this type of reading you will be using your intuition, your psychic awareness, and learning how to read the energy patterns that are imprinted on all objects. Of course there are various other ways to do readings and it is entirely up to the individual.
Automatic Writing; to do automatic writing the psychic must sit down with a blank piece of white paper in front of them, while holding a pen, or they may sit at a typewriter or computer screen, and then begin writing without conscious thought. The conscious mind recedes into the background, so that wisdom from other realms of consciousness many be channeled through and handwritten, or typed. Often those who do automatic writing have no idea what they have written until they read over their notes.
Channelling; When a psychic is channelling, they are receiving messages from another plane of existence, as though words are pouring into them and through them, to then be spoken out loud. The practice of psychometry can lead to channelling especially with those who have a natural ability.
Clairaudience; A reader who is clairaudient, is hearing messages and receiving guidance from a higher energy, as though there are voices that the ears are perceiving, yet no one is around, it is usually soundless with words forming in the mind, to then be spoken out loud.
Clairsentience; The more empathetic individuals are the ones who seem to have the ability of clairsentience, they naturally pick up emotions and energies from others, they can tell what people are feeling without any outward signs of stress, emotional upheaval, sadness or anger. Someone with this ability will feel things wherever they go, this may be a dinner party, a park, a shop, the doctor or dentist. Their ability will read atmosphere very easily, and they often have a very good understanding of others.
Clairvoyance; “Clear seeing”, those with this ability see that which is not there, they can perceive images from the past, present and the future. The images can be floaty and ethereal or vivid and clear. They are not seeing with their two eyes, they are seeing with their inner eye.
Dowsing; When hearing the word dowsing people automatically think of dowsing for water with a stick. A crystal on a leather, or silver necklace, can be used to answer questions or locate lost objects, or give a psychic reading by helping us to access our own intuition with great clarity, allowing us to see, hear and feel things, beyond the earthly.
ESP; This is a term that was used all the time and it encompasses psychic powers, and the ability to tune into the energy waves that are bouncing around the cosmos all the time. Those with a heightened sixth sense are able to do this quite naturally without any effort at all. With others it takes time to develop the gift, ESP stands for extra sensory perception, making you privy to information that goes beyond the five senses.
Intuitive; an intuitive is someone with an exceptional intuitive ability, this goes far beyond a hunch or gut feeling, they are able to tap information available in higher realms, allowing them to gain and offer wisdom to others.
Intuition; Our higher self is constantly trying to help us in every way imaginable, it is always sending messages and communicating with us, offering knowing and understanding. It is the voice within that always has the answers, but is not always listened to.
Medical Intuitive; Someone who is a medical intuitive usually becomes involved in work as a healer and is drawn to the natural health industry, this person is a psychic with the gift of tuning into health issues. Often a medical intuitive will become a hands on healer, using reiki, therapeutic massage, acupressure, acupuncture, or become involved in homeopathy or Bach flower remedies.
Medium; A medium is someone who is able to commune with spirits, they have the psychic skill to connect with someone who has passed over and relay messages to their loved ones. Often those who follow this path usually have a natural gift they cannot deny and seem to gravitate into this field.
Psychic; A psychic receives guidance from higher realms and on different levels, their powers are honed to the point they work without any tools, they have the ability to look at a person and read them, or to tune in and receive higher guidance. They receive psychic information in various ways and their powers are highly developed.
Psychic Detective; A psychic detective can be a valuable asset especially when using their ability to assist the police, they have the ability to find lost children and to solve crimes. Scotland Yard in London often used the famous clairvoyant Doris Stokes, she documented some of the work she did for them in her book ‘I Hear voices in my Ears.’
Readers; Someone can be a reader whether they are psychic or not, there are many tools to choose from, others combine their psychic ability and use psychic aids, for some it is tarot cards, others read palms, tea leaves, runes, or do astrology or numerology charts. Many try various styles until the find the right one for them.
Remote Viewing; This is the unique ability to be able to see places and people that are far away, they are able to see beyond time and space.
Scrying; The psychic gazes into shiny surfaces, such as water, clear mirrors, black mirrors, and is able to see images and glean psychic information.
Sixth Sense; ESP, extra sensory perception, the ability to receive information as it rockets around the cosmos and pluck it from the ether, the senses are heightened to receive information that is not perceived by the earthly senses.
Telepathy; Someone who is telepathic has the ability to read information from the mind of others without them speaking, telepaths are able to read people minds.
Trance Channel; A trance channel has the ability to enter into an altered state of awareness, to go into a trance and channel another entity through them, when doing this they often speak in a different voice. The entity who speaks through them is highly evolved and from another realm of existence. It is a fascinating experience to watch someone work with this gift.
Beginning Psychometry:
Psychometry is something you can practice on your own, you don’t need to have anyone there with you to read for, as you can touch or hold any item and read the energy from it. This way you are able to practice whenever you choose and you don’t have to rely on someone being there. Although when you first begin you may find it helpful if there is someone to give you some feedback after you have read an object belonging to them. This is one of the most practical ways to develop your psychic abilities, and is often the catalyst to an understanding of how your particular psychic powers work. Once you work in this way you will be able to decide what your particular psychic strengths are, then make choices that complement your unique abilities.
(1) You will first require an item such as a piece of jewellery, a watch, a pair of sunglasses or glasses, or any small item belonging to someone else. You place the item on your altar, table, or desk in your sacred space, before you begin to meditate.
(2) Follow the step by step techniques you have learned about meditating, light your candles, incense, fragrant oil, sit comfortably in your sacred space begin a simple meditation with your eyes closed.
(3) The person whose object you will be reading can place the object in your hand, or you can read the item while they are not there and write down what you see, hear, feel, sense and smell. If you are writing, make sure you document everything no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, to the person you are reading for it may have enormous significance. If you are speaking directly to the person and revealing what vibrations you are picking up, relay everything as it may have profound meaning for the owner of the object, the small details can at times be immensely relevant. The longer the person has had the object the easier it will be to read.
(4) In a calm, still, and relaxed manner, begin reading the object you are holding or touching, images may pop into your mind, take notice of everything you are seeing, describe what you are seeing. If words pop into your mind, say them, you may have a feeling of sadness or happiness, describe it, if there is a fragrance, acknowledge it. Notice also how your body is feeling and whether you are suddenly tired, happy, agitated, enthusiastic, feeling unwell, emotional, in love, out of love, loving, angry or sad, whatever it is speak aloud and be descriptive.
(5) There is no need to try and interpret, analyse or judge your impressions, allow yourself to flow with the energy while the information is accessible, interpretation will come to you through practice. When reading psychically you are working with energies that you have no control over, its a little like holding onto a balloon and flying through the air with it. Observe and listen to what the object is trying to say, what you see does not need to make sense, it just is. Psychic readings are different every time, and it is something that requires flexibility, and adaptability. When you are reading information will sometimes be revealed through symbolism, and it will take time for you to understand what the symbols mean to you. Each person has a different way of reading and a different framework from which to read symbols, it is something the individual psychic learns over time.
When reading an object stay with the images, feelings, or words that are coming to you, it is like being drawn along a path by a gentle magnetic pull and as you move along the path you see, hear, and feel things, to do with the object’s owner. You will also notice with practice that some objects are easier to read than others, sometimes it feels as though an item simply oozes information, other times it is like getting blood from a stone. This is the way of any psychic work, blame it on the planets, the weather, your moods, there will without doubt be days when everything seems to be working, and other days when you feel entirely blocked. Do not concern yourself with the ebbs and flows of psychic work, it is the same as anything in life, ever changing, and accuracy will be something that improves with time and practice.
You can also read a photograph in the same way that you read an object, the same principle applies, this is also a very good way to help you develop and enhance your psychic powers. It is only through trying again and again, either by holding an object, touching an object, such as a statue, or vase, an umbrella, a piece of furniture, anything that you wish to try and read, that you will notice how you are growing. You will notice that it becomes easier the more times you try, and working with a friend is a good way to begin so you can help gauge each others progress and offer encouragement. From the very beginning of your psychic discovery journey you can start your ‘Book of Shadows,’ this is the book in which you will document everything you do and learn, pertaining to occult and esoteric matters, it will be a record of your evolution. Above all believe in yourself and know that everyone is psychic, we are all born with this natural gift, don’t push yourself too far too fast, take your time and enjoy the journey, it will be a never ending adventure full of magic and enlightenment.
[h=1]How to Discover Your Psychic Powers[/h]
For the curious who have never delved before it can seem a daunting prospect, there are so many books written by adepts giving no inkling about where to start. These books are fascinating to read, but for the willing and eager novice shed no light on what the first step should be, or where and how it can be taken. Before you begin recognise you are the genie in the bottle, and once the cork is removed you will emerge as the apprentice, eager and ready to wave your magic wand. Your magic wand can be bought, made, or metaphoric, it doesn’t matter because magic begins with thought. If you think you have psychic ability, and believe you have psychic ability, your first magic step has been taken, and with dedicated practice will be enhanced.
Sacred Space:
Sacred Space – Your next step is to choose a spot in your home, it may be your bedroom, or a quiet area of your home, it could be a spare room, the only requirement is that it is a place you will not be disturbed, and somewhere that will be dedicated to your practice. This is to be your sacred space where you are going to create a comfortable, ambient environment for yourself. You will need something to sit on, this can be anything on which you can relax and feel comfortable. You will require one lamp and a desk, or small table on which a candle in an appropriate holder, incense, and oil burner can be placed. Decorate your table with crystals, a talisman or amulet, a plant, small vase with flowers, or a statue. The purpose of your sacred space is to allow you to still the mind, body and spirit. Your mind will respond to your sacred space on a subconscious level, and each time you enter your cocoon to rest quietly, your mind will switch off spontaneously. To enhance and release your psychic ability requires a relaxed body, a still mind, and a spiritual connection which leads to an otherworldly portal. Keep this space for meditation purposes only, by doing this you allow the spiritual and psychic energies to be maintained and enhanced.
Meditation:
Meditation – Meditation helps to still your mind, opening you up and allowing you to tune into, and release your psychic abilities. Taking you away from distractions such as ringing telephones, television, chatter, both inner and outer, enabling you to block out the day to day hustle and bustle. Before you begin meditating, switch off any mobiles, telephones, radios, computers and televisions, and made sure you will not be disturbed for at least 1/2 an hour. When you offer yourself the gift of meditation, you find that your mind and body begin to relax, and you will find yourself surrendering to the peace spontaneously, as time in your sacred space becomes a ritual. Meditation is a wonderful way to alleviate stress, relax muscles, clear the mind, and calm the nervous system. Some people use it to alleviate pain, and it is especially useful for those whose days are high pressure, either on the home front, or in a working environment. Many who suffer from headaches use meditation to relieve the pain, especially those whose headaches are caused by tension. Natural healers often recommend regular meditation for people who suffer from migraines, and anyone any age can benefit from regular meditation. There are simple styles of meditation, and elaborate ones requiring specific rituals. There are many to choose from, adopt the one you feel most comfortable with, or you may like to try different ones, it all depends on the type of meditation experience you want. You will feel the benefits of meditation mentally, physically, and spiritually, it is not unlike the quiet moments of daydreaming we all indulge in.
Meditation is something the individual will put their own stamp on, even when following the same instructions no two people meditate in the same way, or have the same results. In time you will find a style of meditation that works for you and you are comfortable with. The time to meditate is the time that suits you. Some people love to meditate early in the morning, others prefer later in the evening when their home is quiet and still, others will choose a favourite time during the day. Once you begin meditating, aim to continue knowing that the more you do it the easier it will be, in time it will become second nature. You are aiming for the level of attention and absorption a child at play has, children become so enthralled with what they are involved in, they are unaware of what is taking place around them as they revel in their own world.
Before beginning any meditation you will find that ringing a small hand held bell creates a beautiful vibration, and signifies the beginning of your meditation. Buddhists often use bells when they meditate, a tinkling bell helps to balance our energies. When you meditate you are opening yourself up to cosmic energies, this is necessary while you are doing psychic work in order for you to be more receptive. However once the psychic work is complete it is necessary to close yourself off until the next time you meditate
Silver light Meditation: Step into your sacred space and light your candle, oil burner, incense, and sit comfortably with your back straight, both feet flat on the ground, with hands placed palms up on your knees. If you are sitting on a bed, or a cushion, stretch your legs out in front of you, placing your hands palms up on your legs.
Breathing: Close your eyes, relax, breath in deeply and exhale slowly, do this several times then resume your normal breathing, let your breathing become rhythmic. In your sacred space time stands still and you learn to be in the moment, thinking of nothing but your gentle breathing in and out, and the sense of peace filling you. If your mind wonders, consciously bring yourself back into the moment and continue relaxing into your breathing, as the tension leaves your body and the spiritual energies heighten you will feel a little floaty.
Visualisation: While sitting in your blissful state, visualise a silvery white light beginning at the base of your spine and flowing upwards, reaching your head and spilling out from the top of your head like sparkling stars soaring upwards into the universe.
Stillness: Remain still, breathing rhythmically and thinking of nothing, feel the inner energy flow and meditate for 15 minutes, if you are able remain like this for longer, meditate for up to 1/2 an hour, then silently count down from ten to one and open your eyes. Remain seated and allow yourself to be still for several minutes. When you open your eyes after meditating take notice of your senses. Take notice of whether you feel different, or if your senses are heightened, such as colours appearing brighter as you look around, or the candle flame appearing more intense. Is the scent of incense stronger, or the fragrance of essential oil more potent, are you more aware of the texture of your clothes and their feel against your skin? Touch the cushion or chair you are sitting on with your fingertips, noticing if your touch is more sensitive. The five senses that are normally taken for granted, taste, touch, sight, smell and hearing, will be heightened after meditating and from here you are ready to begin your psychic work.
Once your work is complete it is necessary to close yourself off, you do this by sitting comfortably with your eyes closed and visualising the silver/white light moving downwards. See it moving down from the top of your head until it reaches the base of the spine where it forms a small cloudy silver/white ball, visualise the ball reducing in size until it disappears. Open your eyes, clap your hands or ring your bell. You have now closed yourself off.
Candle Meditation: When you are comfortable and settled, gaze at the flame of the candle, breathe deeply and let your breath become rhythmic, keep focusing on the candle in a relaxed manner. Keep your focus on the flame for a few minutes, you will become very peaceful, and once you feel totally relaxed close your eyes, you will continue to see the flame of the candle in your mind’s eye. Open your eyes again and focus on the candles flame for a few more minutes, then close your eyes and keep them closed. With your eyes close and your breathing relaxed, visualise the candle at the base of your spine and the flame glowing and moving upwards, filling you with warmth and peace. Stay like this for 15 minutes, or up to 1/2 an hour if you can. When you are ready to finish your meditation, take three deep breaths, then exhale slowly. Resume normal breathing, and silently count down from one to ten, open your eyes. Allow yourself to remain seated and give yourself time for contemplation, you are now ready to begin your psychic work.To close yourself off, sit comfortably, close your eyes and visualise the candle slowly reducing until it is a tiny barely discernible flame, imagine yourself blowing it out with one puff of air. Then silently count down from five to one and open your eyes. You are now closed off.
Chakra Meditation: The chakras are your seven inner energy centers, these are the points where the energy flows through our body, once the chakras are open energy surges upwards from the base chakra and out through the crown chakra, opening you up to cosmic energy. The base and crown chakras are always open, allowing energy to move through the body gently and slowly. When all the chakras are open they vibrate at a higher speed, this is needed to open you up to cosmic energies in preparation for your psychic work. It is also necessary to close the chakras when you have finished your psychic work, bearing in mind that the base and crown chakras will always remain open. When all the chakras are open, the crown chakra is the doorway for energy to be channelled through from the cosmos. When the chakras are closed the vibrational energy of all the chakras slows to a gentle pace.
The Seven Chakras:
(1) base, (2) navel, (3) solar plexus, (4) heart, (5) throat, (6) third eye, (7) crown.
Base – first chakra – base of the spine – colour red.
Navel – second chakra – navel or sacral, just under the navel – colour orange.
Solar plexus – third chakra – below the breastbone – colour yellow.
Heart - fourth chakra – center of the breastbone.
Throat - fifth chakra – hollow of the throat – colour blue.
Third eye – sixth chakra – middle of the forehead – colour purple.
Crown chakra – seventh chakra – top of the head – colour violet.
Once you familiarise yourself with the colour of each chakra, you are ready to begin meditating. Prepare your sacred space, sit down relax and make yourself comfortable. Give yourself a few minutes to regulate your breathing, allowing your body and mind to become still. Place your hands palms up on your knees if you are sitting on a chair, or on your thighs if you are sitting on a bed, or on the floor, close your eyes and focus on your breathing only, sit like this for a few minutes.
When you are ready, begin your meditation by focusing on the red glow of the base chakra, visualise the light moving upwards until it meets the orange glow of the sacrum/navel chakra, visualise the two lights merging and continuing upwards. The light reaches the yellow glow of the solar plexus chakra, and moves upwards to the green heart chakra, it continues to the purple throat chakra, merging with the purple third-eye chakra. The light continues up to the violet crown chakra, spilling out through the crown and surging up into the universe, opening you to the white cosmic light. You are now at one with the universe in a place of bliss, a part of the cosmic energy, you have opened the doorway, allowing the glowing white light of the cosmos to stream down and fill you. Meditate for 15 minutes, and if you are able up to 1/2 an hour, then when you are ready bring your consciousness back to your breathing, take a deep breath in and exhale slowly, do this three more times. Relax into your normal breathing, count backwards from ten to one and open your eyes. After you have finished meditating and given yourself time to sit and feel, you may begin your psychic work.
Upon completion of your work it is necessary to close the chakras (the base red and the crown chakras will remain open and vibrate more slowly). Sit comfortably, close your eyes and beginning with the violet crown chakra, visualise the light moving downwards, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange and merging into the base chakra red. Open your eyes and clap your hands together once, or ring your bell, your chakras will then be closed.
Beyond the five Senses: After meditating you become more aware not only of your five senses, but of your sixth sense, your intuition, knowing, gut instinct, whatever you want to call it. It is that feeling you can’t quite put your finger on, the knowing you find hard to define, the feeling that sends shivers down your spine. The indefinable something that is difficult to put into words, you can’t taste it, touch, smell, see, or hear it, but you know with every fiber of your being it’s there. It’s the premonition that tells you something is wrong, or you know something unpleasant is about to happen. Have you had the vague sense that something wonderful was going to unfold, yet you had no reason for your sense of wellbeing. Do you ever know what someone is going to say before they say it? Are you sometimes certain you know what someone is thinking, without them having to utter a word? When you have these feelings and there is no logical explanation, you are tapping into the energies that are swirling around us all the time. Psychic information is readily available, it’s just a matter of using your psychic abilities to tap it. Intuition is called the sixth sense because it is inherent in everyone. We each have intuitive abilities, just as everyone has artistic or athletic abilities to greater or lesser degrees. Everyone can draw a picture or throw a ball, but some people are naturally more gifted in these areas, and once they hone and develop these gifts, they can become professional artists or athletes. The same is true of intuition, some people are naturally gifted intuitively, and once they focus and develop these gifts, they can become professional psychics. Just as everyone can become a better artist or athlete through training and practice, you can develop and improve your natural ability and benefit from your intuition and psychic powers.
Psychic powers can be developed and intuition sharpened, it’s all a matter of becoming aware and being able to tell the difference between what you think will be, and what you feel will be. Your thoughts come from your conscious logical mind, and intuition is your non logical sixth sense working for you. Also don’t expect to be right all the time, the important part of developing your psychic ability, is the belief that it is there in a nascent state, it just needs to be awakened. You will find that your intuition is sometimes very strong, and other times barely discernible.
Once you harness your psychic awareness you will have a deep understanding of how it feels, you will know you can communicate on another level without conscious thought, and without doubts. This sense of knowing is like the beating of your heart, it just is, it has no relation to your physical senses, it is channelled from a higher realm. It is like the understanding you have with some people you meet, and without any logic you know and understand them. This understanding goes beyond the earth plane and is coming from a place of spiritual awareness, the more you accept this higher sense, the easier it is to understand and accept.
When you are using your psychic ability you are looking into the soul of a person, the physical manifestation you look at is very different to the spiritual core of that person. When using your psychic ability for another person you are looking inside them. You learn to accept that people are who they are, people are capable of changing their behaviour but they cannot change their nature. Learning to develop your psychic powers takes faith, the kind of faith that Christopher Columbus had in believing that the world was round. Or the faith Nostradamus had when he documented his predictions, done at a time when people were being accused of witchcraft and burned at the stake. People believe there is a higher power watching over them, they make offerings to the omnipresent being, they chant and hold religious gatherings, they worship this power. They can’t smell, taste, touch, see or hear it, but from the depths of their being they know it is there. Your psychic powers cannot be seen, they are intangible, indefinable, yet they are there, and by acknowledging the gift within you infinite possibilities will be unearthed.
The words “life force,” we hear often, do you know what is it? Can you describe it? Can you harness it, if so how? Can you see it? Although it is difficult to explain or describe, we believe it is there and it is quite natural for us to use the term “life force,” without fully understanding what it is, we simply believe. You are not a physical being having a spiritual experience, you are a spiritual being having a physical experience. Centuries ago people were more in touch with their intuition and their faith and psychic powers helped them to survive. Their instincts were heightened because they had to be, they were more in tune with the weather, the seasons, and all that grows. They learned how to be in harmony with the earth, with nature, with their intuition and their knowing. Maybe they didn’t call it psychic powers, or even refer to it, but they certainly used it, because their lives depended on it. With heightened psychic powers grow you are in a better position to help yourself and those close to you, loved ones, family members, friends, colleagues. Psychic awareness will assist you in your working life and your love life, it will help you to develop an intuitive understanding of the inner workings of your body, and the messages your body sends. As you become more in tune and responsive, you will attain a greater level of understanding and be able to unleash your potential, leading to more flexibility, acceptance and understanding of others.
Awaken your Psychic Powers:
When you begin psychically reading the energy from someone or something, it is necessary to put aside your thoughts and your ego, ego has no place in psychic work, think of yourself as an instrument through which information channels. When using your psychic powers it is necessary to let go of all the things concerning you in your life, and to step beyond your problems or worries. By doing this you are preparing to open yourself up to information, and energy vibrations emanating from people, objects and places. Meditation allows you to bring yourself into balance, mind, body and spirit, making you a clear channel receptive to information. For you to be a successful psychic tool, being in balance is a necessary part, hence the more work you do on yourself, the more finely tuned you will be as a psychic instrument. Developing your psychic powers is a lifelong journey, and there will always be something new to learn, to help yourself develop you can work on your own energies and learn how to make them flow easily.
When you enter your sacred space to begin your psychic work, it is necessary to consciously leave all your troubles behind. By allowing yourself the freedom to meditate without any distracting thoughts, you enable yourself to become a more powerful psychic. To work to the best of your ability, leave your conscious, earthly thoughts behind and surrender to a higher consciousness. It is absolutely necessary to be open to the information you are receiving, and not to be ruminating about any number of earthly activities. It will not help you, or the person you are reading for if you are distracted about what time the gardener is coming, or if you are wondering whether you remembered to cancel your dental appointment, or if you will make the theater on time. Psychic work requires attention, and intention.
Psychometry; The term psychometry, was first used by an American professor of physiology, Joseph R. Buchanan in 1842, one of the first people to experiment with psychometry. His inspiration for the name came from the Greek words psyche, meaning soul, and metron, meaning measure. The results of Professor Buchanan’s experiments with his students were beyond coincidence, and his compelling theory was that all objects have souls that retain a memory. He wrote a book, Journal of Man, in this he documented the results of his extraordinary experiments. Recorded in an object’s aura, is its past, and like people an object has a field of auric energy surrounding it, and objects contain within them the mental aura of the person possessing the object. Someone with psychometric abilities is able to hold an item that is quite old and access the emotions of the person who owned it. An antique has hidden within, emotions, experiences, and the life path of the owner, a gifted reader will be able to perceive the life and death of the person.
Psychometry is the reading of an object through touch, within an object there is a history, a store of information left by those associated with it, a blueprint. A sense of its history and the person, or people associated with it, can be perceived through impressions emanating from it. An item is imbued with vibrations from emotions and actions from the past. Some psychics will put the item down and touch it, others like to hold it in one or both hands, often the psychic reader will close their eyes and touch the item to their third eye. Psychic readers will use their own discretion depending on what they are most comfortable with, seeing things that are not perceived using normal vision. Emotions are powerfully contained within an object, and the reader will be able to tune into these emotions which reveal something about the person being read for. With this type of reading you will be using your intuition, your psychic awareness, and learning how to read the energy patterns that are imprinted on all objects. Of course there are various other ways to do readings and it is entirely up to the individual.
Automatic Writing; to do automatic writing the psychic must sit down with a blank piece of white paper in front of them, while holding a pen, or they may sit at a typewriter or computer screen, and then begin writing without conscious thought. The conscious mind recedes into the background, so that wisdom from other realms of consciousness many be channeled through and handwritten, or typed. Often those who do automatic writing have no idea what they have written until they read over their notes.
Channelling; When a psychic is channelling, they are receiving messages from another plane of existence, as though words are pouring into them and through them, to then be spoken out loud. The practice of psychometry can lead to channelling especially with those who have a natural ability.
Clairaudience; A reader who is clairaudient, is hearing messages and receiving guidance from a higher energy, as though there are voices that the ears are perceiving, yet no one is around, it is usually soundless with words forming in the mind, to then be spoken out loud.
Clairsentience; The more empathetic individuals are the ones who seem to have the ability of clairsentience, they naturally pick up emotions and energies from others, they can tell what people are feeling without any outward signs of stress, emotional upheaval, sadness or anger. Someone with this ability will feel things wherever they go, this may be a dinner party, a park, a shop, the doctor or dentist. Their ability will read atmosphere very easily, and they often have a very good understanding of others.
Clairvoyance; “Clear seeing”, those with this ability see that which is not there, they can perceive images from the past, present and the future. The images can be floaty and ethereal or vivid and clear. They are not seeing with their two eyes, they are seeing with their inner eye.
Dowsing; When hearing the word dowsing people automatically think of dowsing for water with a stick. A crystal on a leather, or silver necklace, can be used to answer questions or locate lost objects, or give a psychic reading by helping us to access our own intuition with great clarity, allowing us to see, hear and feel things, beyond the earthly.
ESP; This is a term that was used all the time and it encompasses psychic powers, and the ability to tune into the energy waves that are bouncing around the cosmos all the time. Those with a heightened sixth sense are able to do this quite naturally without any effort at all. With others it takes time to develop the gift, ESP stands for extra sensory perception, making you privy to information that goes beyond the five senses.
Intuitive; an intuitive is someone with an exceptional intuitive ability, this goes far beyond a hunch or gut feeling, they are able to tap information available in higher realms, allowing them to gain and offer wisdom to others.
Intuition; Our higher self is constantly trying to help us in every way imaginable, it is always sending messages and communicating with us, offering knowing and understanding. It is the voice within that always has the answers, but is not always listened to.
Medical Intuitive; Someone who is a medical intuitive usually becomes involved in work as a healer and is drawn to the natural health industry, this person is a psychic with the gift of tuning into health issues. Often a medical intuitive will become a hands on healer, using reiki, therapeutic massage, acupressure, acupuncture, or become involved in homeopathy or Bach flower remedies.
Medium; A medium is someone who is able to commune with spirits, they have the psychic skill to connect with someone who has passed over and relay messages to their loved ones. Often those who follow this path usually have a natural gift they cannot deny and seem to gravitate into this field.
Psychic; A psychic receives guidance from higher realms and on different levels, their powers are honed to the point they work without any tools, they have the ability to look at a person and read them, or to tune in and receive higher guidance. They receive psychic information in various ways and their powers are highly developed.
Psychic Detective; A psychic detective can be a valuable asset especially when using their ability to assist the police, they have the ability to find lost children and to solve crimes. Scotland Yard in London often used the famous clairvoyant Doris Stokes, she documented some of the work she did for them in her book ‘I Hear voices in my Ears.’
Readers; Someone can be a reader whether they are psychic or not, there are many tools to choose from, others combine their psychic ability and use psychic aids, for some it is tarot cards, others read palms, tea leaves, runes, or do astrology or numerology charts. Many try various styles until the find the right one for them.
Remote Viewing; This is the unique ability to be able to see places and people that are far away, they are able to see beyond time and space.
Scrying; The psychic gazes into shiny surfaces, such as water, clear mirrors, black mirrors, and is able to see images and glean psychic information.
Sixth Sense; ESP, extra sensory perception, the ability to receive information as it rockets around the cosmos and pluck it from the ether, the senses are heightened to receive information that is not perceived by the earthly senses.
Telepathy; Someone who is telepathic has the ability to read information from the mind of others without them speaking, telepaths are able to read people minds.
Trance Channel; A trance channel has the ability to enter into an altered state of awareness, to go into a trance and channel another entity through them, when doing this they often speak in a different voice. The entity who speaks through them is highly evolved and from another realm of existence. It is a fascinating experience to watch someone work with this gift.
Beginning Psychometry:
Psychometry is something you can practice on your own, you don’t need to have anyone there with you to read for, as you can touch or hold any item and read the energy from it. This way you are able to practice whenever you choose and you don’t have to rely on someone being there. Although when you first begin you may find it helpful if there is someone to give you some feedback after you have read an object belonging to them. This is one of the most practical ways to develop your psychic abilities, and is often the catalyst to an understanding of how your particular psychic powers work. Once you work in this way you will be able to decide what your particular psychic strengths are, then make choices that complement your unique abilities.
(1) You will first require an item such as a piece of jewellery, a watch, a pair of sunglasses or glasses, or any small item belonging to someone else. You place the item on your altar, table, or desk in your sacred space, before you begin to meditate.
(2) Follow the step by step techniques you have learned about meditating, light your candles, incense, fragrant oil, sit comfortably in your sacred space begin a simple meditation with your eyes closed.
(3) The person whose object you will be reading can place the object in your hand, or you can read the item while they are not there and write down what you see, hear, feel, sense and smell. If you are writing, make sure you document everything no matter how insignificant it may seem to you, to the person you are reading for it may have enormous significance. If you are speaking directly to the person and revealing what vibrations you are picking up, relay everything as it may have profound meaning for the owner of the object, the small details can at times be immensely relevant. The longer the person has had the object the easier it will be to read.
(4) In a calm, still, and relaxed manner, begin reading the object you are holding or touching, images may pop into your mind, take notice of everything you are seeing, describe what you are seeing. If words pop into your mind, say them, you may have a feeling of sadness or happiness, describe it, if there is a fragrance, acknowledge it. Notice also how your body is feeling and whether you are suddenly tired, happy, agitated, enthusiastic, feeling unwell, emotional, in love, out of love, loving, angry or sad, whatever it is speak aloud and be descriptive.
(5) There is no need to try and interpret, analyse or judge your impressions, allow yourself to flow with the energy while the information is accessible, interpretation will come to you through practice. When reading psychically you are working with energies that you have no control over, its a little like holding onto a balloon and flying through the air with it. Observe and listen to what the object is trying to say, what you see does not need to make sense, it just is. Psychic readings are different every time, and it is something that requires flexibility, and adaptability. When you are reading information will sometimes be revealed through symbolism, and it will take time for you to understand what the symbols mean to you. Each person has a different way of reading and a different framework from which to read symbols, it is something the individual psychic learns over time.
When reading an object stay with the images, feelings, or words that are coming to you, it is like being drawn along a path by a gentle magnetic pull and as you move along the path you see, hear, and feel things, to do with the object’s owner. You will also notice with practice that some objects are easier to read than others, sometimes it feels as though an item simply oozes information, other times it is like getting blood from a stone. This is the way of any psychic work, blame it on the planets, the weather, your moods, there will without doubt be days when everything seems to be working, and other days when you feel entirely blocked. Do not concern yourself with the ebbs and flows of psychic work, it is the same as anything in life, ever changing, and accuracy will be something that improves with time and practice.
You can also read a photograph in the same way that you read an object, the same principle applies, this is also a very good way to help you develop and enhance your psychic powers. It is only through trying again and again, either by holding an object, touching an object, such as a statue, or vase, an umbrella, a piece of furniture, anything that you wish to try and read, that you will notice how you are growing. You will notice that it becomes easier the more times you try, and working with a friend is a good way to begin so you can help gauge each others progress and offer encouragement. From the very beginning of your psychic discovery journey you can start your ‘Book of Shadows,’ this is the book in which you will document everything you do and learn, pertaining to occult and esoteric matters, it will be a record of your evolution. Above all believe in yourself and know that everyone is psychic, we are all born with this natural gift, don’t push yourself too far too fast, take your time and enjoy the journey, it will be a never ending adventure full of magic and enlightenment.

O Birther! Father- Mother of the Cosmos
Focus your light within us - make it useful.
Create your reign of unity now-through our fiery hearts and willing hands
Help us love beyond our ideals
and sprout acts of compassion for all creatures.
Animate the earth within us: we then

so that we can mend our hearts' simple ties to each other.
Don't let surface things delude us,
But free us from what holds us back from our true purpose.
Out of you, the astonishing fire,
Returning light and sound to the cosmos.
Amen.

4 most well-known and mysterious metaphysical phenomena
Sometimes metaphysics is described as “physics of tomorrow”. Many of the phenomena studied by metaphysics resemble a fantasy movie script, but maybe in the future they will become everyday and ordinary.
In an interview published on the otherside.gr, Nicholas Koumartzis, member of the Greek Community of Metaphysical Journalism and PhD candidate at the Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, Greece, speaks ofthe most well-known and mysterious metaphysical phenomena:
1. Telepathy, sixth sense and extrasensory phenomena
All the three terms refer to the ability to collect information from a remote environment, without using the five known senses. For some people, it means that there are additional senses that are in use but are not yet recognized: there might be the sixth, seventh, eighth and so on senses.
To study these phenomena, numerous experiments were conducted: from Zener cards and Ganzfeld experiments, to more modern ones that use electroencephalography (EEG). Most of them show that there is indeed something that can not be explained by the known laws of conventional science.
2. Poltergeist
The word poltergeist comes from the German words poltern, which means “to rumble” and geist,which means “spirit”, and is commonly used in many languages to describe a “noisy spirit”, i.e. a spirit or action that causes a number of unexplained events, such as loud and repetitive noises, moving objects, unbearable odors, flickering lights, opening/ closing doors and windows, etc.
Usually this phenomenon occurs suddenly and lasts for a few days to several years and then disappears as suddenly as it appeared.
3. Deja Vu
The phrase is French and roughly means “I have already seen this”. It is a strong sense of a person, experiencing an event or situation, that he has seen or experienced it before. It is often accompanied by a strong sense of deep understanding and even stronger feeling of paradox saying that “something is wrong”.
That is, there must be a strong factor of “impossibility”, i.e. deja vu is associated with anevent/situation that is practically impossible to have been experienced before, like the feeling of having been before to a place you are visiting for the first time.
4. Near-death experiences
The term “near-death experience” (NDE) is used to describe an experience of people who are close to death and has much in common with out-of-body experiences, since both involve separation of the consciousness from the body, floating in space and collecting information from the environment while a person is in a coma or unconscious.
There are many documented testimonies of doctors and nurses reporting that when some comatose patients returned to life, they knew situations and circumstances that had taken place near them when they were in coma.
PS. Relation between the paranormal, supernatural and metaphysical
Finally, as to the differences between the terms metaphysical, paranormal and supernatural, things are a little fluid. Most people interested in such kind of phenomena use all the three terms in the same way.
However, the metaphysical is a shortcut of the term metaphysical philosophy, which is one of the main branches of philosophy that deals with the first principle, cause, destination and the end of the world.
While natural sciences deal with the reality based on the experience, metaphysical philosophy deals with a transcendental world which can not be investigated through experience, observation and experiment.
On the other hand, the term metaphysics is mistakenly associated with mysticism and religion. While mysticism is based on experiences of a particular nature and religion – on faith, metaphysics is based on logic.

Just in case anyone was curious about...
Poltergeists
The word 'poltergeist' is from German and means 'noisy spirit.' Research into this area from the United States, Brazil, England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Malta, India and Russia and other countries shows that poltergeists really exist and behave in the same way.
Tens of thousands of cases
There have been tens of thousands of poltergeist incidents recorded. Many people have seen solid objects flying in the air, huge kitchen cabinets levitating, plates, glasses and clothing set on fire. Often stones are thrown to break windows. Sometimes human voices are heard shouting obscenities. In the most extreme cases scratches, cuts and bite marks can appear on people and human forms can be seen. Usually they stop after a few months.
Michael Gross, a British writer, has written a scholarly annotated bibliography of 1,111 sources about poltergeist cases from different countries (Gross 1979). Colin Wilson has produced a very easy to read and comprehensive 382-page book packed with cases. It is called Poltergeist-A Classic Study in Destructive Hauntings (Wilson 2009). Guy Playfair's book This House is Haunted is an excellent description of the Enfield poltergeist case.
In Britain
One of Britain's most amazing poltergeist activities was at the Harper home in Enfield. It lasted for more than sixteen months. It started in August 1977 and ended in October 1978. Mrs. Harper, a divorcee, lived there with her four children, two boys and two girls, aged from seven to thirteen.
The disturbances were witnessed by a number of different people with different backgrounds including skeptics: police, politicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, journalists and social workers all reported the poltergeist activities.
Two leading investigators were a writer, Guy Lyon Playfair, who had experience with poltergeist activities in Brazil and Maurice Grosse, a member of the English Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Playfair and Grosse estimated that over 2,000 incidents were observed by at least 30 witnesses.
Some of the activities of this particular poltergeist included:
• throwing household items around; chairs were smashed, children's toys were seen flying in the air thrown from an invisible source
• lighting fires
• draining the power out of the journalists' camera and other electronic batteries immediately after the batteries had been charged
• throwing an iron grille from the bottom of the fireplace across the room narrowly missing Jimmy, one of the Harper boys
• ripping a heavy gas fire out of the wall.
The voice of the poltergeist was heard. He said his name was 'Joe Watson.' Voices were heard saying 'F--- off you', 'I was sleeping here', and, 'I like annoying you.’
[video=youtube_share;3NofBgeNklA]http://youtu.be/3NofBgeNklA[/video]
In the United States
Thousands of poltergeist cases have been reported in the United States. In one case the police arrived on the 19th December 1976 at the home of Mrs. Beulah Wilson of Pearisburg, Virginia after she complained of regular poltergeist activities. The police had ignored the complaint but when they went into the house they saw it for themselves. An invisible force was smashing dishes, wooden chairs and other household items. The police witnessed the amazing sight of a 200 pound kitchen cabinet floating in the air without any means of support.
In Germany
A most powerful poltergeist activity occurred in a lawyer's office in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim in 1967.The poltergeist activity centered around an eighteen year old secretary, Annemarie Schneider. One morning when she first got the job at the office, she walked down the entrance hall. Witnesses stated that:
• the hanging lamp started to swing,
• the lamp in the cloakroom started to swing too,
• a bulb directly above her exploded,
• the fluorescent lighting went out in the next room.
At other times:
• loud bangs were heard
• all the lights in the office went out at the same time
• electrical fuses would blow without any cause
• cartridges fuses ejected themselves from the sockets
• all four telephones would ring simultaneously with no one on the line
• calls were frequently cut or interrupted for short periods
• telephone bills suddenly soared to very high levels
• developing fluid in the photostatic copiers would often spill out without any disturbance
• investigating technicians captured swinging lamps and frames on cameras
• physicists F. Karger and G. Zicha could not find anything wrong with the electrical and other material things in the office
• drawers were witnessed opening by themselves
• twice a 400 pound cabinet was seem to move by itself.
Professors, journalists, police and other witnesses all saw the poltergeist phenomena. Professor Bender, a parapsychologist who investigated this special poltergeist, stated that it centered around Annmarie. When Annmarie left to work somewhere else, the poltergeist phenomenon stopped suddenly.
[video=youtube_share;xTtjN6E2BtA]http://youtu.be/xTtjN6E2BtA[/video]
Elsewhere, in 1969 in Nicklheim Germany scientists investigated apports— solid objects moving 'by themselves' from one place to a different place. They asked the poltergeist to move perfume bottles from one room to outside the house. Soon afterwards these bottles were seen falling from the sky.
The materialists explanation is PSI
Beginning with Frank Podmore's book "On Poltergeists" in 1887 materialists have consistently argued that they are caused either by fraud or by unconscious energy of the person at the center of the disturbance.
Professor William Roll, in his book "The Poltergeist" (1972) claimed that the cause was a psychologically disturbed individual, usually a child at the time of puberty. The person is called "the focus". He called this “recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis” (RSPK) and claimed it had nothing to do with spirits.
While this "exteriorization of energy" is part of the cause it is clearly not the whole story. Otherwise there would be poltergeist activity in every house with a disturbed teenager. And it does not account for the cases where there are no disturbed teenagers. And the experimental evidence for psychokinesis only produces raps and very small movements.
A kind of physical mediumship?
It seems to us that poltergeists have a great deal in common with uncontrolled physical mediumship. We do know that many physical mediums were at the center of poltergeist activity when they were in the early stages of developing their mediumship:
* Daniel Dunglas Home was thrown out of his home by his aunt at age 17 when furniture started moving on its own near him.
* Florence Cook at age 15 was sacked from her position as an assistant school teacher because in her presence books and pencils flew around, chairs kept following her and tables were moving on their own.
* Brazilian medium Mirabelli was sacked from his job as a shoe salesman at age 23 because the shoes kept jumping off the racks
* Matthew Manning from the age of 11 was at the center of poltergeist activity- various items were moved or disappeared, there were loud knocking and creaking sounds and objects flew violently around the house and signatures of dead writers appeared on his bedroom wall. Matthew later learned to channel his energies into healing and the phenomena stopped.
We also know from physical mediumship that some people have an abundance of ectoplasm- a substance taken from the bodily fluids which on examination turns back into water. And we know that small puddles of water are a very commonfeature of poltergeist activity.
Modern investigators who believe that poltergeists are spirits
Ian Stevenson in his paper ‘Are Poltergeists Living or are they Dead?’ (1972) presents three cases to show that sometimes poltergeists are caused by spirits of the dead.
Some of the points which he suggests a spirit is the cause include cases where:
• objects seem to be carried and deposited gently
• the subject is disadvantaged or injured by the phenomena
• meaningful responses are obtained from raps
• apparitional and visual phenomena occur early and abundantly
• communications come through mediums from apparent spirit personalities
• the phenomena ceases upon intercession, placation or exorcism.
Professor Roll did admit that in some poltergeist cases the spirit explanation has to be accepted.
When Colin Wilson wrote the first version of his bookPoltergeist in 1980 he still followed the "accepted" theory of parapsychologists that poltergeists were caused only by living human beings.
In the introduction to the most recent edition of his bookPoltergeist: A Classic Study in Destructive Hauntings he explains that he has since changed his mind.
He says that he was influenced first by Guy Lyon Playfair who told him that poltergeists caused by:
" A football of energy. When people get into conditions of tension, they exude a kind of energy, the kind of thing that happens to teenagers at puberty. Along come a couple of spirits, and they do what any group of schoolboys would do: they begin to kick it around, smashing windows and generally creating havoc. Then they get tired and leave it. In fact the football often explodes and turns into a puddle of water."
Wilson claims that soon after he talked with a German professor of Parapsychology who told him that the Germans who had investigated the Rosenheim Poltergeist under Professor Hans Bender had come to the same conclusion.
Soon after this Colin Wilson met British psychic investigator Montague Keen who told him he had shared his house with two poltergeists. The first in December 2001 was identified by two mediums as Mrs Joyce, the previous owner of the house and the second was a man named "Alfie House" who had drowned in the river two years before. Both were persuaded to move on.
Wilson also claims that following the sudden death of 300,000 people from the tsunami in Thailand in 2004 poltergeist phenomena were in "plague" proportions- a clear indication of spirits not able to move on. Read more...
Alan Kardec's explanation
The name “Allan Kardec” was the pen name of H. Leon Denizard Rivail, a French educator and philosopher. In 1854, he made a list of hundreds of questions on the afterlife. He sent them to the best direct writing mediums who seemed to be getting information from high level spirits. He was absolutely stunned to find that the answers which came back were all consistent. The answers were compared, analyzed and published in The Spirits Book and a number of others including The Book on Mediums (1874).
In Chapter 5 of the Mediums book which is on "Spontaneous Physical Manifestations" he gives an explanation of poltergeists.
* He says that physical manifestations are caused by low level spirits who always use the power of someone who is a real medium but does not know it.
* there are cases in which the spirit appears to act alone but then it draws the "animalized fluid" from elsewhere and not from a person present.
* this explains why spirits who surround us constantly do not at every moment produce disturbances.
* the spirit must have a motive- usually either to draw attention to something or to amuse themselves. Sometimes they set upon an individual who they want to annoy and laugh at the fears they create. Sometimes revenge is the motive. Sometimes they just want the person to leave their house.
How to cope with a poltergeist.
Kardec advises to make sure first of all that there is no human or physical cause. Then try to talk to the spirit to find out what it wants- bring in a medium if needed. "If they ask for something, it is certain that their visits will cease as soon as their desire is satisfied".
If it turns out that the spirit is "an idle jester" he suggests you give it as little attention as possible. Emotion feeds the disturbance.
If it turns out that the spirit is malevolent , "we can pray to God to make him better. In every case prayer will always have a good result. But the gravity of the forms of exorcism make them laugh, and they care nothing about them."
Poltergeists
The word 'poltergeist' is from German and means 'noisy spirit.' Research into this area from the United States, Brazil, England, Scotland, Ireland, Canada, Finland, Germany, France, Italy, Malta, India and Russia and other countries shows that poltergeists really exist and behave in the same way.
Tens of thousands of cases
Michael Gross, a British writer, has written a scholarly annotated bibliography of 1,111 sources about poltergeist cases from different countries (Gross 1979). Colin Wilson has produced a very easy to read and comprehensive 382-page book packed with cases. It is called Poltergeist-A Classic Study in Destructive Hauntings (Wilson 2009). Guy Playfair's book This House is Haunted is an excellent description of the Enfield poltergeist case.
In Britain
One of Britain's most amazing poltergeist activities was at the Harper home in Enfield. It lasted for more than sixteen months. It started in August 1977 and ended in October 1978. Mrs. Harper, a divorcee, lived there with her four children, two boys and two girls, aged from seven to thirteen.
The disturbances were witnessed by a number of different people with different backgrounds including skeptics: police, politicians, psychologists, psychiatrists, journalists and social workers all reported the poltergeist activities.
Two leading investigators were a writer, Guy Lyon Playfair, who had experience with poltergeist activities in Brazil and Maurice Grosse, a member of the English Society for Psychical Research (SPR). Playfair and Grosse estimated that over 2,000 incidents were observed by at least 30 witnesses.
Some of the activities of this particular poltergeist included:
• throwing household items around; chairs were smashed, children's toys were seen flying in the air thrown from an invisible source
• lighting fires
• draining the power out of the journalists' camera and other electronic batteries immediately after the batteries had been charged
• throwing an iron grille from the bottom of the fireplace across the room narrowly missing Jimmy, one of the Harper boys
• ripping a heavy gas fire out of the wall.
The voice of the poltergeist was heard. He said his name was 'Joe Watson.' Voices were heard saying 'F--- off you', 'I was sleeping here', and, 'I like annoying you.’

In the United States
Thousands of poltergeist cases have been reported in the United States. In one case the police arrived on the 19th December 1976 at the home of Mrs. Beulah Wilson of Pearisburg, Virginia after she complained of regular poltergeist activities. The police had ignored the complaint but when they went into the house they saw it for themselves. An invisible force was smashing dishes, wooden chairs and other household items. The police witnessed the amazing sight of a 200 pound kitchen cabinet floating in the air without any means of support.
In Germany
A most powerful poltergeist activity occurred in a lawyer's office in the Bavarian town of Rosenheim in 1967.The poltergeist activity centered around an eighteen year old secretary, Annemarie Schneider. One morning when she first got the job at the office, she walked down the entrance hall. Witnesses stated that:
• the hanging lamp started to swing,
• the lamp in the cloakroom started to swing too,
• a bulb directly above her exploded,
• the fluorescent lighting went out in the next room.
At other times:
• loud bangs were heard
• all the lights in the office went out at the same time
• electrical fuses would blow without any cause
• cartridges fuses ejected themselves from the sockets
• all four telephones would ring simultaneously with no one on the line
• calls were frequently cut or interrupted for short periods
• telephone bills suddenly soared to very high levels
• developing fluid in the photostatic copiers would often spill out without any disturbance
• investigating technicians captured swinging lamps and frames on cameras
• physicists F. Karger and G. Zicha could not find anything wrong with the electrical and other material things in the office
• drawers were witnessed opening by themselves
• twice a 400 pound cabinet was seem to move by itself.
Professors, journalists, police and other witnesses all saw the poltergeist phenomena. Professor Bender, a parapsychologist who investigated this special poltergeist, stated that it centered around Annmarie. When Annmarie left to work somewhere else, the poltergeist phenomenon stopped suddenly.

Elsewhere, in 1969 in Nicklheim Germany scientists investigated apports— solid objects moving 'by themselves' from one place to a different place. They asked the poltergeist to move perfume bottles from one room to outside the house. Soon afterwards these bottles were seen falling from the sky.
The materialists explanation is PSI
Beginning with Frank Podmore's book "On Poltergeists" in 1887 materialists have consistently argued that they are caused either by fraud or by unconscious energy of the person at the center of the disturbance.
Professor William Roll, in his book "The Poltergeist" (1972) claimed that the cause was a psychologically disturbed individual, usually a child at the time of puberty. The person is called "the focus". He called this “recurrent spontaneous psychokinesis” (RSPK) and claimed it had nothing to do with spirits.
While this "exteriorization of energy" is part of the cause it is clearly not the whole story. Otherwise there would be poltergeist activity in every house with a disturbed teenager. And it does not account for the cases where there are no disturbed teenagers. And the experimental evidence for psychokinesis only produces raps and very small movements.

Through direct experience. I can not doubt or deny what has been experienced. The first time in this life i had that experience, i doubted everything that had come before, everthing i thought i had done or experienced before that powerful Holy moment. When you know you know. It is a 'real' beyond anything earthly and material. This experience is for everyone, all of us. It is the experience of us, All That IS. It is our Home! It is only natural that we go within and know who and what we are. The Christ is within All. We are One. We are Love. Love is Consciousness. There are many things i do not know, but This, i do know, and i affirm it. I did not believe in 'God' or believe that God was relavant or necessary until i experienced God. God is Source. God is my Creator. God is One and Holy. I Am God. I AM!
There are still things that i am learning. As long as i see limits, separation, zombies...perception...judgement...anything other than Love...there is more to go. I know i have the big picture when i am in perfect peace and joy. When i am not is perfect peace, i have erred.
God is knowable, but God is not explainable, especaily in a medium as feeble and constricting as words.
Think upon what a 'word' is. A word is constructed with 'letters' which are symbols. A word points to something. A word is a symbol, constructed with symbols. It is not the 'thing' itself. A word is an idea, a mental construction that represents a concept that is stored wihin our programming and the collective conscious. We rely on common mental constructs, common language, and capacity for communication in order to exchange these words and derive some manner of comprehension from them. As you can see, this in a every limiting way to communicate that relies on past experience, common perception and judgement and many idiosyncratic factors. Words are a grossly inadequate way in which to think and communicate what we really feel and know.
Think about the 'sun'. How would you describe that? Is it explainable? Think how many ways you could explain the sun, how many ways you could measure it...theorise...hypothesise...would this be the same as knowing the sun? To know the sun we must experience the sun, we must 'see' the sun.
'God' is a word. The word 'God' itself is not God, but the word can point to God. It points to our unique perceptual comprehension and understanding of God.
Spirit can only be known and experienced. Spirit can not be explained using detail. This is impossible because Spirit is beyond detail. There are no words, no limits, no restrictions. When we try to explain the inexplainable, inevitably we will explain it with error. And as this message is retranslated from one conditioned brain to another, from one set of perception and judgemnets to another...one filter to another....one system of delusion and separation to another...more errors are likely to be made. That is why many of the spiritual texts from all around the world are written in parables. So it would be less likely that they would be corrupted and changed, and the meaning lost. Myths all over the world are in parable form. Over time, many were consumed by the 'details' in these stories, and were misled. The words of God have been twisted by the ideas and words of man. Man does as man does. But God is beyond this. Man is entirely capable of experiencing God, made to experience God...but man cannot do this by man's means, only by God's means. God is Holy. Holy- Whole- One. In order to experience God, man must let go of her attachment to separation and control. Finding God is like an annihilation of the little i to experience the True I. When we are willing to surrender completely and let go of all fear and attachments, we realise, beyond doubt that what we are utterly indestructible, eternal and infinite, beyond harm, fear and guilt. It is not possible to deny God after having experienced God. It is also not possible to wonder about God, or what religions say, or what science says, or what someone says. All this becomes meaningless white nosie, zombie talk. There is nothing else this experience can be compared to, and it can not be denied or doubted. We can unlearn what we have taught ourself, but we cannot deny what we know. When you are in 'God' you see everyone and know everyone. Knowing everyone, you have absolute faith in them. Debating about such things is utterly meaningless. God is within All and regardless of what anyone believes while they are here, when they leave this 'place' they will know, and my God, they will be overjoyed beyond anything to know this.
All roads lead Home. There is nothing anyone can do to change this. It is what it is, thats the way we made it, thats the way we were created.
Shortly after the first experience of Love Consciousness- God, this came to me-
There is a place where you can go
The only place you Are
That place that we all know
Buried deep inside you and me
Written plainly on all the parts
Each work is marked with the signature
And hums with its Love
A place where there is no good and evil
There is no light or dark
A place that just is
A place that you can be
We each know this place
And we see you every dream
You know me and I know you
Yet no one can be known apart
To know One is to know ALL
How can one know a stream or a river?
Or an ocean or the sky?
The light of a star as it moves through the universe
Experiencing and changing
Transforming and becoming its path
It moves and it births universes
It flows and it shapes
It creates and recreates
It is still and constant
Finished in every breath
Rebirth and regeneration
Seeds that explode with vitality
And grow, forever vastening life
Still and Flowing, constant and expanding
It is what It Is
I Am That I Am
Its not being in the eye of the storm
Its not to stand apart and observe the storm
Its not to weather the storm
Its not even to be the storm
Its to be in that place where there is no separation
Between the storm and all else
To move with the storm and all the parts
And flow with the energy of life
To see that there is only flow and movement
Grace that embraces, holds dear and still
Infinite meaning surrendered to Itself
That place where east meets west and
North meets south
Where you can flow though it all
Eternity experienced in an instant
An instant explored for an eternity
Where we live for the sake of Life
Dream for the sake of the dream
Where we 'be' just because
Because it is good
And it is all goodness beyond good
That place of Love and grace
That place where it makes sense
The place that makes you see
That there is too much to see
We share All for this vision
And there is enough
I cherish this place
Where I can lay my weary bones
And free my spirit from my mind and yours
This is not a place for me
It is a place to be shared
I miss you my friend and I long to share this with you
Come to this place with me
The place where we are Whole
....all these words, so many words...utterly inadequate to describe the real
