Some Tips on Psychic Development

Everybody has some psychic ability, it's just not always easy to distinguish between a psychic impression and a fantasy or "making things up."

I find that people with strong imaginations tend to also be very psychic, they just need a little guidance about how to tell the difference between a daydream or a thought vs. a genuine psychic impression.

A daydream or thought takes place in the mental body. The mind has a certain frequency to it. It's like Grand Central Station in there with so many thoughts always buzzing about!

A genuine psychic impression carries a different feeling to it. A psychic impression usually has a sense of calmness and clarity to it. It's the difference between just KNOWING that something is real versus HOPING or PROJECTING that something is real.

When you just KNOW something, it's a genuine psychic impression. It's very different than hoping or trying to convince yourself about something. It comes from a deep, quiet place within you that is always connected to spiritual truth.

We tend to be most psychic when we are focused on loved ones or friends.

It is a lot easier picking up genuine psychic information about people other than ourselves. We can be more objective, and we're less caught up in our own personal hopes and desires.

When it comes to tuning in psychically for yourself, this can be more difficult. Many readers (including myself) sometimes find it difficult reading for themselves. This is because it's so hard to be objective when you're looking at things in your own life. You get too caught up in hopes, wishes, fears, and so forth.

When people want to learn how to do psychic readings they almost always make the same mistake. Who do they start practicing on? Themselves!  They should be practicing on friends or even colleagues or complete strangers. Because you will always be a better reader for other people than for yourself!

So if you want to learn a divination system like tarot, palm, runes, or tea leaf reading, I encourage you to practice on some friendly "guinea pigs." Get together with some friends and acquaintances and have a readings party. Tell them you are just learning how to do readings and you need to practice. Make it a pot luck dinner where everybody brings food. Have fun with it!

If you can learn to be relaxed when you give readings and also avoid editing yourself (because usually your first impressions will be the most powerful psychic impressions) you will be giving great readings for people in no time.

And try not to worry if you find it difficult reading for yourself at the beginning. Even advanced readings with years of experiene can find it challenging reading for themselves. To read accurately for yourself you need to be in a deeply relaxed meditative state where you are willing to see the WHOLE TRUTH as it is presented in the cards (or the runes or whatever.) And we often tend to block things out because it's easier to keep blinders on and avoid looking at things which might challenge our notions of what is truly going on.

It's a lot easier reading for other people!
