Improving Your Psychic Skills

A couple of gals came over to visit last night to chat about how to develop their psychic skills. I sat down with them and went over the main points of how to begin. Here's the quick summary:

1) Practice dropping into a meditative or trance state for 20 minutes every day.
Try a variety of different methods to find the one that works best for you.
2) Keep a psychic journal of your waking and dreaming psychic moments.
3) Make the place you do your intuitive or psychic work as clean and clutter free as possible.
If need be, remove things from the area to make it "Buddhist spartan."
Turn off as many electrical devices as possible to reduce the artificial vibration and make the room quiet.
4) Practice daily reaching out for answers to questions you pose and allowing your intuition to provide you with the response.
5) The Universe will most likely connect with you strongest in the same manner as which you learned best in school....visually, auditorily, kinesthetically, or spatially.
If you learned best by seeing, you will probably most easily perceive psi input as pictures or images.
If you are an auditory learner, you will mostly likely hear your answers, etc.
6) Try out all the different sorts of psychic tools, from i-ching to rune stones to tarot cards to see if any of these work well for you. Practice using them as a leaping off place to explore your own intuitive connections.
7) Increase your awareness of synchronous events as this is often a way that the Universe communicates important information to you.
8) Be aware that as you open up to the Universe with your multi-sensory awareness, you will naturally perceive "positive" as well as the "negative" information and both ends of the Spiritual spectrum as well. For this reason, I highly recommend for the beginning psychic student to remove things from your life, home and work place that are extremely negative (horror movies, scary books, etc.)
9) Remember, when receiving psychic impressions, take the first response you get and don't edit it or add your own personal issues to it.
Try to describe the response or input with as much detail and as matter of factly as possible without adding to it or removing anything from it.
10) Work on your skills when you aren't angry, or afraid or having huge stress issues about things.
Don't try pulling information from the Universe about you or your family or close loved ones...know you already have a history and bias about them that does and will skew your perceptions.
