Читать книгу Do It Yourself Psychic Power: Practical Tools and Techniques for Awakening Your Natural Gifts using Clairvoyance, Spirit Guides, Chakra Healing, Space Clearing and Aura Reading - Natalia O’Sullivan - Страница 6

Psychic powers are natural and intuitive – everyone can develop their psychic potential if they wish to. Developing this skill is not only a means of connecting with the spirit world; it helps us achieve greater awareness and control over our destiny.

Psychic awareness is the natural ability to perceive things before they happen – even guessing lottery numbers and winning on a horse race may have its basis in one’s psychic ability. We are all psychics to varying degrees of sensitivity. If we observe nature it’s obvious that animals sense a presence long before it can be seen; this is essential for their survival. We use this same intuitive source – in our work, during competitive sports or business situations – to survive in the modern world. Our gut instinct helps us to connect with a sixth sense, or second sight, which in turn helps us to ‘tune in’ to places and people – both past and future.

There is no need to follow a spiritual path or to have strict religious tendencies to be an accurate psychic, but in most traditions training is required in order to develop accurate psychic skills. Each psychic works on many different energy frequencies and, if we have the necessary skill, these can dictate to us our future profession. Being psychic can be a bonus to the lucky ones and a curse to others.

What qualities make a good psychic?

• Personality: Psychics tend to be bright, naturally intelligent and extrovert. People with more out-going personalities score more in psychic tests than those who are sombre, shy and reflective.

• Sensitivity: Do you find that you get easily hurt and are oversensitive to people and atmospheres? Most psychics are also extremely sensitive individuals and even in childhood would have been considered oversensitive.

• Creativity: Are you artistic? A large proportion of psychics come from an artistic or creative background. Some psychic researchers suggest that this is because psychics, like artists, predominantly use the right-hand side of the brain – the side that is creative and intuitive.

• Dreams: Do you have vivid and colourful dreams? Dreaming is one of the routes to the subconscious mind. If you are in tune with your inner self, then you naturally become aware of your psychic self during sleep.

• Perception and sight: Do you see bright lights around living things? If so, this is the ability to ‘see’ the aura, the magnetic field around living things. The aura is known to change shape and colour depending on the mood or energy levels of a person or living thing. If you can see this – and even the colour of the aura – then you are very psychic.

• Intuition: Do you listen to your intuition? Do you have a gut instinct or can you sense things about people, situations or places. Much of the information that we receive through intuition is gained through sensitivity and connecting through the solar plexus into another person or situation. Intuition is listening to your inner self and hearing advice from the spirit world.
