What’s the point of becoming more psychic or intuitive? It really is a good idea to come up with your own reason. I will offer up a few explanations for your consideration by telling you how it came to be so important in my life…
When I think back, there was no clear reason for me to want to become more psychic. My earliest memories of it came from a natural curiosity about phenomenon happening in my life.
But I also recall that it showed up during major points of personal difficulty and transition in my life. Perhaps I was subconsciously seeking a way to find more joy or to experience grace during these trying times.
My earliest channeled messages (received on behalf of myself), came when I least expected them. My most memorable one was when I was simply sitting in my bedroom relaxing. My entire room filled with a white light and I watched as all the things in my room disappeared. As I sat there trying to stay calm and just observe, I remember feeling tears flow down my face as I realized I was connecting with something greater than me… I felt immediately expanded after that experience.
Later down the road, when I was going through my divorce and feeling very sad, another channeling happened. A comedian, George Burns, came through to remind me about the importance of keeping a light heart through life. “To live a long life, find a way to laugh,” was what he shared with me.
I’ve come to realize that most of these “messages” seem to be about developing virtues.
Virtues are the basic qualities necessary for our well-being and happiness. If you seek to develop virtues in your life, it can help you live with purpose. Virtues are universal and recognized by all cultures.
A Buddhist practices attaining these four virtues or character traits: loving-kindness, compassion, sympathetic joy and equanimity. These are cultivated with time so they become a habit in daily life.
Christianity derives the three virtues of faith, hope and love (charity) from 1 Corinthians.
The four classic cardinal virtues are temperance, prudence, courage/fortitude, and justice.
In Chinese Daoism, the concept known as “De” pertains to the virtue or ability to live one’s life according to the Dao or Tao (“the Way”). Living by the Tao essentially means you are living your life through ongoing practices to attain a state of enlightenment of spiritual perfection.
Whether you were brought up with a particular set of virtues, it’s one thing to learn them, it’s another to put them into daily practice. Living with virtues, is in a sense, being mindful.
I’m realizing with time that taking these virtues or qualities deeply into my heart and mind and living them in every moment is the path to awakening and enlightenment that I’ve always been focused upon. Looking back, I start to cringe now thinking about how easily that message was discarded as unimportant.
So how does this relate to being more psychic???
What do virtues have to do with being more psychic? Well, think about what might be some motivations for being psychic? Curiosity is a good answer, but definitely not a strong enough motivation. After seeing a bright white light in my bedroom, I was curious. But with time, curiosity fades. Rather, personal need produces a much more effective reason to delve into your psychic senses.
It goes with saying that when I do sessions, I find that the messages are often centered around how to live a “better” life and often times, many of universal virtues come through.
When someone is challenged in their everyday life, it becomes the catalyst to get them to go within (or get help with doing that through a psychic) to see if there is a virtue out of alignment.
If you wanted to experiment with your psychic ability, create exercises that have a personal application in an area of need, and more specifically, with an area which might be out of alignment.
Allow your imagination to serve you here as you imagine a divine intelligence which is available to you at all times. You may begin by developing a goal in your personal life and use your connection, or psychic ability, to help you receive message or see patterns.
You will often receive dreams related to this goal or you may see visions in meditation. The guidance comes from your interpretation of the patterns as you interpret their meaning. If the outcome from this experience is positive and helpful, then it acts as validation. The more you trust your senses, the easier this becomes.
Becoming mindful of your surroundings, feelings, impressions and thoughts is key. Remain aware of the information which is always available to you and keep a light heart as you do so. One final tip would be to keep a light mind as well. “Stay detached” as my teacher always says, as this allows you to receive the message and continue moving forward, rather than staying stuck.
Play with these concepts and notice how your psychic self is constantly serving you and helping you attain a better life!
