Forever Now

To start let us attempt to explain what the term “Psychic Abilities” actually encompasses.  For many, a psychic is just someone who displays traits such as precognition and telepathy.  This guided view is caused primarily by the word Psychic, at least in my personal opinion.  We have come to know psychics as fortune telling mind readers, when in reality they are so much more.  For now I will use the word Awakened instead of Psychic because every individual has the ability to awake at any given moment.  An awakened individual is one who has experienced their latent inner abilities and strives to further them in one way or another.

These abilities are as limitless as the universe is vast, so please feel free to experiment with them.  Some common trend range from Telekinesis, Cursing, Blessing, Enchanting, Warding, Energy Feeding, Shielding, Remote Viewing, Time and Matter manipulation, Soul Gazing, and so many more that it is literally impossible to ever gather them all into one work.  In this article  I would like to give you 10 basic guidelines for Awakening to your potential, but please bear in mind that one can never force awakening.  For those that have yet to experience their latent abilities, a simple text such as this may simply not be enough to kick-start your energies.  However, whether you have or have not experienced these aspects of yourself, these exercises should help to expand your awareness and flow of energy dramatically.

With that being said, let us begin.

STEP ONE:  Self Affirmation -  You might be surprised how important this simple step is when it comes to harnessing your inner talents, and this is why I’ve chosen to list it first.  Without this simple act, no amount of practice or experience will ever truly help you.  You ARE the Divine Archetype of which your reality is based upon.  You and you alone possess the abilities necessary to bring about any and all change in your perceived reality.  Whatever challenges and hardships that have come your way were sent To you By you, so that you may learn vital lessons and advance through life in a progressive fashion.  Accepting your role as Creator is a vital step in awakening your dormant powers, so let’s begin with a very simple 5 minute meditation.

For this exercise, find a comfortable place to either be alone or with a loved one that generaly accepts your views of the Universe.  Having someone you love present who doubts your abilities will make this exercise pointless, but positive and loving energy never hurts.  Sit or lie down in a comfortable position and close your eyes, being sure to relax your body.  Now begin to either envision, feel, or think of yourself as the most powerful entity in this reality.  Even if it normally seems like you have no control over your life, take this time to assure yourself that you do indeed have the power to bring about change.  See all obstacles before you simply as ways to advance yourself and your abilities, perceiving all pain and anguish as lessons being taught by a strict master.  You are the driving force of all that enters and leaves your life, and without your say absolutely nothing can effect you.  Even if the world were to end tomorrow and you were one of the few survivors, your life would only be bettered.  Feel the energy course through you as you accept who you are and the role you have yet to play upon this Earth and Reality that we all call home.  Once you feel a sense of control and uplifting energy, you may stop this meditation.  Affirmation of course isn’t done only during meditation, and can be done at any waking moment of any given day.  You control your reality, so don’t let it control you.

STEP TWO: Achieving a Light Gnosis -  More commonly referred to as Meditation, this Gnosis state will become your best friend if you’re looking to advance your inner abilities.  Gnosis is a state where the body and mind are brought to a standstill so that the energies within and without you can better be felt, recognized, and manipulated.  This state of partial consciousness is paramount for successful workings when you’re just learning, and even those more skilled in the Arts have a tendency to simply achieve this state of being at astounding speeds.  For this particular exercise, we will only be focusing on achieving a light gnosis.  Anything further and you might just zonk yourself out, since you are literally putting yourself asleep as you stay awake.

This exercise is best done either right before falling asleep or just after waking up, and is best done alone until you become more adept at doing this.  Be sure you’re in a comfortable position and will not be interrupted for at least 15 minutes.  Many of us find that if we’re ripped out of a gnosis we get strong headaches or drained very quickly, so its important to keep the door locked and the phone off the hook if you’re just starting out.  I recommend doing this either in total silence or to some relaxing music with no vocals, as this will help you to focus. 

Close your eyes and slow your breathing, become keenly aware of each breath as it passes in and out of you.  Try diverting your breath to your belly as you do this, if you are able to you will find it helps in the collection of energy.  If not, just breath normally and slowly.  As you breath in feel the energies of the world entering you and filling you with even more energy, up until you reach the peak of this Inhalation.  Hold your breath here for a moment and feel yourself swirling in the energy, then slowly exhale your breath down until you are completely out of breath.  Feel as your energy is pulled out of you until there seems to be nothing left, the hold this for a few more moments.  Continue this simple exercise for as long as you would like, silencing your mind more and more with each passing breath.  So long as you retain a general feel over your mind and body, you will know that you’re just in a light gnosis.  Heavy Gnosis tends to be much more profound, and feels a lot like an OBE at times.

STEP THREE:  Feeling Your Energy -  This is a big one if you ever expect to make any significant strides in awakening your abilities.  This may be considered a more advanced technique by some, but I see it as one of the most important processes of any awakened individual.  Your energy is constantly swirling within you and without you, so to not even be able to feel its presence means you will never be able to accurately manipulate it.  This exercise might take a few good tries to achieve results, but I find that most people have success their very first try.  There are many different ways to feel your energies, but for this method we will be focusing primarily on the hands.

This can take anywhere from 30 seconds to 30 minutes, it all depends on what you’re feeling and if you wish to continue feeling it.  For right now, the objective is to simply feel the energies moving about you.  Stand or sit comfortably and rub your hands together for about 30 seconds.  This is a common technique that isn’t really necessary, but it does have a tendency to make feeling the energies a bit easier.  Now hold out your arms so that your hands are facing each other and are about 6 inches apart.  Imagine warm energy flowing through you and into the palms of your hands.  Now SLOWLY pull your hands away from each other so that there is about 3 feet of space between them.  Feel the energy flowing into each hand, then slowly bring your hands together so that your fingers are touching.  Before your hands touch, you should feel something almost like a magnetic resistance.  This may even send tingling shock-waves through your hands and arms, which is good..it means you are feeling the energies being emitted.  While your fingers are touching, try to separate your hands with your energy alone.  Don’t physically move them, but instead try to will your energies to push the other hand away.  This will more often then not create a warm swirling sensation in the space between your hands, which is the product of you consciously projecting your energy.  If you felt even the slightest abnormality during this exercise, it was successful.  Whether or not you succeeded, remember that practice makes perfect.  We don’t all succeed our first try, but the more we practice the more in tune we become with our bodies and energies.

STEP FOUR: Identifying Your Major Chakras -  The Chakra system has become one of the most common “Energetic Constants” in the world today, and I feel it important to give them credit and attention.  The amount of major chakras seems to vary slightly, but the common belief is that there are 7 Major Chakra points and countless Minor ones.  To keep this exercise short and to the point, I would like to first Identify each Major Chakras for you.  (these are very brief explanations and it is suggested that you do some research on them yourself to get a better idea of what they are)

The first Chakra is known as the Root and is located at the base of the spine.  It is our center for our basic survival needs, as well as our contact with the energies of the Earth and our overall manifestation abilities.  The colors most commonly attributed to it are Black, Red and Brown

The second Chakra is the Sacral and is located in your spine, just beneath the navel.  It governs Emotions and Creativity, as well as Sexuality and Intuition.  The primary color here is Orange.

The third Chakra is that of the Solar Plexus, located slightly below the breastbone.  It is the center of our Ego and personal power, as well as Astral Travel and “Psychic” development.  The color most commonly attributed to it is Yellow

The Fourth is the Heart Chakra and is located behind the breast bone.  This is where the energies of love and spirituality are emitted as well as where the body and mind connect with the spirit.  The color here is most often Green.

The Fifth Chakra is located at the base of your throat and controls communication, sound, transformation and healing.  Its color is Light Blue.

The Sixth Chakra is known as the Third Eye and is found above the eyes in the center of the forehead.  This is the center for Psychic Ability and Higher Intuition.  The colors here are most often Purple and Dark Blue

The Seventh and final of the Major Chakras is that of the Crown.  It is located just behind the top of the skull and is the center of spirituality and enlightenment, as well as dynamic thought and energy.   The primary color here is White.

Now that these chakras have been identified, let’s perform a very brief exercise to help stimulate these energies.  Feel energy flowing up from the ground and into your legs.  As it reaches your first chakra point, feel the energy flowing into it clockwise.  Let this energy gather for a few seconds then move up to the next chakra, this time flowing Counter Clockwise.  Continue this back and forth motion all the way up to the Crown Chakra, where it will gather in a wide clockwise motion.  Allow this energy to gather for about a minute, then release it.  Performing this basic exercise will help to keep your chakras active and open, but don’t be afraid to expand upon this as you become more familiar with your energies.

STEP FIVE:  Finding Your Inner Voice -  This can be a bit tricky, but it’s important for you to find this aspect of yourself and properly identify it.  We all have thought processes, some of which may or may not seem like “voices in your head”.  The particular Inner Voice I’m talking about here is the one that always seems to be correct in pretty much all cases.  The problem with this voice is that it needs to be felt, since 9 out of 10 times the conscious mind will attempt to speak over it.  This creates an overlapping effect that makes it very easy to ignore this Inner Wisdom.  There are many ways to enhance your connection with this part of yourself, but for now we’ll stick to the basics. 

An easy exercise to enhance your connection is through simple prediction.  There are many many different things you can attempt to predict, anything from the outcome of a game to the next song that will come up on random.  For this minor exercise we’ll use a 6 sided dice.  Take a few minutes to slip into a Light Gnosis before starting this exercise, as this will help keep your conscious mind quite while you pay attention to your thoughts.  Pick up the Die and roll it around in your hand, getting a good feel of its energy, shape and size.  Close your eyes and cast the die.  Do not attempt to predict the outcome until the die has landed and come to a stop.  This is possibly the hardest part of the exercise, but certainly the most important: be sure to keep your mind as quiet as possible.  It’s very important to let the information COME TO YOU…I can’t begin to tell you how easy it is to let your conscious mind chime in at this stage.  When you feel the correct number come to mind, open your eyes and see that you were right.  If you were wrong, this simply means you heard your conscious mind rather then your Inner Wisdom.  Not all of us can tap into this part of ourselves so easily, so don’t be disappointed if you are met with repetitive failure.  Some things can only come with Time, and this is certainly no exception.

STEP SIX: Absorbing an Outside Energy -  While common belief might have you believe that this is only an ability of Psychic Vampires, it is indeed something that we all can do just about whenever we like.  Some of us are better at it than others, and we all do it in our own unique ways.  Energy can be absorbed from People, Animals, Plant, Stones, Water, Storms, Wind, just about anything that physically exists has energy that you can absorb.  Now what you decide to absorb is entirely up to you and your personal set of morals.  Some prefer to feed off of groups of unsuspecting people, others need a willing donor, while others still prefer the harmony of nature to be a better place to “recharge”.

To avoid harming yourself or another during this exercise, I would like you to start by feeding from a Tree.  This can be awkward if done in public, so if you know of a place in the woods or just out of the way I suggest you go there.  You can also go in your yard at night, but don’t be wandering the woods past dark.  Find a large tree that shows a bit of character, and first hold out your right hand so its just a few inches from the tree.  Feel your energy flow into the tree and hear yourself being “introduced” to its energy.  This is an important step because nature never gives without receiving, that is simply the way of things.  Now that you have given this spirit some of your energy, touch the tree with either both hands or just your left hand.  This may take a few moments to a few minutes, but patiently wait as you begin absorbing the energy.  At some point you will feel a sharp jolt, indication that energy is now being transferred to you.  Hold this for as long as you can or feel comfortable with, then let go.  Thank the tree either out loud or in your mind, then head on home.

———————————– ADVANCED PRACTICES ————————————

These next four steps are slightly more advanced, but not to the point where a beginner with proper Will can’t experience them at the very least.  If you were met with success in the last few steps, please continue if you feel you are ready.

STEP SEVEN: Construct a Minor Shield -  This is a fun one because you are actually “physically” creating something out of your energy.  Many skilled energy workers use shields at least occasionally, and some put more energy into them then others.  It never hurts to learn how to erect a barrier, so here I would like to explain the mechanics of calling upon a very basic shield.  Shields are limited only by the energy and imagination of their creator, so feel free to experiment as you become more comfortable with your energies.  This shield however is very simple and will only last for as long as you will it to, so as not to drain you of your energy to quickly.

After entering a Light Gnosis, close your eyes and start to envision a sphere of bright silvery energy cascading upward from the ground around you.  Allow it to form slowly and deliberately, until you are completely surrounded by it.  It’s important to see this as a Spherical shape and not more oval like an egg.  This is a common mistake and is best avoided right from the get go, so take the time and energy to see this shield as a perfect sphere.  Now that you have this bright silvery shell surrounding you, hold out your hands so that you are “touching” it.  Feel your energy flow from you and into the shield, up until you get the feeling that it has enough energy.  Once this is complete, add the finishing touch by slowly spinning it up and over you.  This will help prevent focused attacks and also allows the energy of the earth to constantly renew your shield.  If you can see this barrier in your minds eye and feel it with your energy, you have been successful.  Once you’re done, be sure to watch and feel the shield slowly dissolve into the ground.  You can of course keep this barrier up and running at all times, but it will drain you of your energy constantly until you know how to better control it.  Once you meet with success, the possibilities are endless.

STEP EIGHT:  Identify the Energy -  This isn’t really too advanced of an exercise, but it will require a partner with similar interests and experience as you.  You can also do this with someone more skilled, but it matters little.  The purpose of this exercise is to transmit a particular energy as well as to identify one.  This helps to raise awareness and overall control of your energy.  For this exercise your partner is to mimic all the steps that you perform as you perform them.

Sit facing your partner and hold out your right hand, palm facing up.  Now start to focus one of the Four major elements, which are Air, Earth, Fire and Water.  As you gather energy into your hand, feel ONLY the type of energy you have selected.  Think about all the things related to this element, and focus this energy into a sphere in your hand.  Once you can feel this energy flowing around your hand, have your partner place their ball of energy into your left hand as you do the same.  Now close your eyes and focus on what it is you’re feeling and or seeing from this energy.  Take plenty of time to familiarize yourself with it and identify it, until you have a solid image in your head of the energy you’re holding.  When you’re ready, tell your partner what you felt.  Repeat this exercise as often as you’d like, and feel free to mix it up with more energies and emotions as you get better.

STEP NINE: Perform a Conscious Projection -  This can be really difficult to do and is one that I STILL haven’t mastered, not consciously anyways.  Almost every living thing projects out of its body from time to time, especially as it sleeps.  This is very hard to do and to actually recall, so please please don’t be discouraged if you “fail”.  90% of Failed projections are actually successful, it’s just that the brain doesn’t stream the information properly and winds up erasing any memory of the projection.  This gets a bit involved, so let’s skip over that and go straight to the exercise.

For this, you’re going to want to stay up late enough to get really tired.  Push yourself past the point of needing to fall asleep, then start to put yourself into a Gnosis.  It’s very important not to fall asleep at this point, since you should be very tired right about now.  Make your body ridged and begin to feel your energy rising up and out of you.  Before you let it leave you, keep it inside of you until you feel it begin to rapidly vibrate.  It will feel almost as though you’re shaking, this is a good thing.  Once this feeling starts to subside, force it up and out of you.  Instead of just letting your energy leave, this time you will be leaving with it.  As you feel your energy rising out of you, feel your consciousness rising with it.  This is possibly the hardest part of projection, but try your hardest to stay with it.  You don’t need to “see” anything, just be sure that you’re feeling it.  Once you feel as far away from yourself as possible, fall asleep.  When you wake up, try to recall anything during your dreams.  If possible, try and differentiate between your projection and your dreams.  This is really hard and I personally still can’t do it, but practice practice practice and you’ve got no choice but to succeed.

STEP TEN: Study Study Study -  You heard it right.  The Internet is a huge place and everything you could possibly need to know is literally at your fingertips.  Take the time to look for that which interests you, and be sure to leverage your information against multiple sources.  You never know whose knowledge will help you to advance as a person, so remain vigilant and on the lookout for information both new and old.  There will always be more to learn, and once you feel comfortable with your knowledge you too can begin sharing it with others.  Our potential is Infinite, so don’t limit yourself with apathy.  Best of luck to you, I hope this has been of some help in your endeavors.

May powerful energies be with you always
