Going Within

It is in the still silence where clarity and answers come. To best utilize your psychic abilities, it must become second nature for you to go to that spot within you where the silence is. The more you meditate, the easier this becomes.

I often have others ask me how to meditate, and often have those who say they can't focus enough to keep thoughts away. Meditation is not about focus. It is about not focusing. It is about opening your mind to receiving. You do not want to resist thoughts, but rather let them flow. Do observe your patterns of thinking, but do not try to analyze. Move past your thoughts.

When we meditate, we lose ourselves in oneness. In that flow of oneness we are open to receiving, and creating.

Meditating is actually very simple. Often I see, it isn't the being able to meditate that one has problems with as much as the fear of looking within. For those who are moving past those fears, remember oneness is perfect love and there is no fear in perfect love.

There are a great many people who meditate without even realizing they meditate. For some, different music sedates them, and in turn, the mind goes into a meditative state. For others, it may be they lose themselves when gardening, or listening to the crashing waves of the ocean, or many other different sounds, and visuals.

There are really no right or wrong ways to meditate, and there are many ways to do put your mind in a meditative state. To be able to use your gifts to help others you must find the stillness within you. Practice and patience will yield great rewards.

All Your Answers Are Inside

The best way I know to share with you how to further develop your psychic abilities, is to tell you to develop the ability to go inside yourself. From inside, everything on the outside looks very different, and from there, you have the ability to receive information.

Some have a natural ability to do this, and thus, are "natural born" in their abilities. Others may naturally begin to do this due to life circumstances, or different studies that take one within. Everyone can learn to do this.

If going within is new to you, the best way to learn to do that is through learning to meditate. It is in the still silence that answers are given.

Meditation can be achieved in many forms, and is not necessarily solely sitting still in silence. Many meditate while they are gardening, playing the piano, bathing, and many other "relaxing" activities. Still others, have a planned meditation time where they are alone, silent, and in a comforting spot.

They key is in consistency. Plan meditation time to spend time inside yourself. Get comfortable deep within yourself, and acknowledge that God lives within each and every one of us. We are all part of a whole.

Gifts Are Meant To Be Shared

Our gifts are given to us for a reason. They are part of a package of tools we have brought with us to use in service of others, and to use to create through love. We are part of a whole, here to spread light and love vibrations throughout the world.

So often those born with strong gifts, are held captive by fear. Part of what we are to grow through is learning to let go of our fear and to simply trust. Releasing fear allows the love to flow through.

Learning to use our gifts, brings a sense of order to the chaos that is so much a part of our lives when our gifts are "raw".

Put yourself in a safe "place" while you are receiving information. One way to do that is to ask for protection from your angels, and visualize yourself surrounded by white light. Remember, you are the receiver of information. That means someone is sending it to you.

Communicate your needs during the process. If you need the sounds or images to slow down, say so. If you don't understand the information you are receiving, say so. Ask for clarity.

Remember that communication of any kind is a process. You are a messenger for others. You may not always understand the information you are receiving, but the person(s) you are meant to share it with will.

Before learning to use your gifts, they may often feel more like a curse than a gift. As you learn to use them, you will see the great honor in the gifts you have been given. As you learn to use them in service to others, the blessings you receive are immeasurable.

Always Come From a Place of Love

Love conquers all. You were given these gifts to use and to help through love for others. If you are always coming from a place of love, you will always be aided in helping another.

There is no fear in perfect love. There is no judgement in perfect love. There is nothing negative whatsoever in perfect love. There is only peace and understanding.

Align your spirit with your heart and listen with your heart.

Detach from Self During Visions

When you are having visions, or receiving information in any way, it is important that you learn to detach your "self" from the equation. This is important for quite a few reasons all related ultimately to your well being.

Visualize yourself in a white bubble of protection that nothing can penetrate.

Allow the information to just "pass" through you without analyzing it any way or judging it in any way. If you are empathic, let any emotion that accompanies the visions to also just "pass" through you. Remember you do not own them. They are merely pieces of the puzzle being presented to you for you to note, and messages for you to pass.

If you find you are drawn to healing through crime work or profiling with law enforcement, then learning to do this is especially in the utmost importance, as you will constantly be seeing more negative, darker things, and feeling more negative, darker emotions, than say, one who is drawn to a different type of healing work, such as passing messages to loved ones from the other side, or spiritual teaching.

What avenue of lightwork you are drawn to will depend on your life themes, personality, and motivational drive. No matter what avenue that is, though, learning to detach allows you to be more precise with the information you receive, as well as protect you from things you may see and feel in the process.

Learn to Listen From Within

It is in the silence that you find answers. You must become comfortable with going within to fully develop your abilities.

It is important not to concentrate, but to open yourself to receiving, and focus on what you receive, shutting everything else out.

The best practice comes through meditation. Through daily meditation you can train your mind to go to that "spot" of receiving information.

As you first begin to meditate, it may take a while for you to achieve that "spot", but as you continue to meditate, and make it a daily part of your life, you will see yourself get there easier and easier.

Ask your guide for information before you begin to meditate. I always ask for information to inspire, enlighten, and/or bring healing to the individuals who come to me for help.

If you are clairaudient, you may "hear" answers "inside". If you are clairvoyant, you may begin seeing pictures in your mind. Perhaps you are both, in which case you may also learn to remote view along your journey.

If you are a medium, then there are also other abilities that have come with the gift of mediumship.

Pay attention to whatever information you get, be it visual, voices, faces, smells, feelings. All are ways in which information can come.

Information may even come to you in forms that are specific to you. If that happens, don't disregard the information. Those who are helping you will send information in any format that you can relate to.

It can be a bit like putting together pieces of a puzzle in the beginning, so be prepared to ask for clarity if you need to.

Let Go of Fear

I know this can be a hard one, but you must let go of any and all fears associated with your gifts. Fear is a very negative emotion and thus brings negative energy. If you are afraid of your gifts, you will get a great deal of negative, creating more fear, and thus more negative.

I'm certainly not saying you will never get any negative images, etc. once you let go of your fear, but you will be much better equipped to deal with them without the fear. You will see, though, once you release yourself from the fear, you will get a great deal more positive information and positive guidance.

You have been given your gifts to help others. Don't be afraid of that. Ask to be surrounded by the white light of the Holy Spirit in protection. You may also want to ask that you be given only information you can use to help others.

The more you seek guidance the more guidance will be provided for you in regard to what areas you are best suited for helping according to your themes, interests, and personality in this life.

Trust that you are protected and that you will not be given more than you can handle.

Are You An Empath?

I’ve met a great many people in doing readings over the years, as well as in other life situations, who are empathic, but are unaware of this gift. Being empathic, at times, can feel like a curse, but it is actually a wonderful life tool, as well as a tool for helping others, and one of the best gifts to have!

If you are often emotionally overwhelmed, and/or your moods seem to change with your environment, and with the people who join and leave your company, then you are empathic. You may often feels as if your emotion is "spilling over". Others may describe you as emotional.

I’ve also had others write to me who are aware they are empathic, asking if there is a way to turn it off! All I can say is, if there is, then I haven’t discovered it yet!

The good news is, there are many ways to learn to detatch yourself from others' emotions, and some of the overwhelming emotion you may often feel around you. It takes a little dedication, and work, as well as acceptance, but I assure you, if you have this gift, there is a reason, and there are blessings that await you through your service to others.

Many empaths are guides to others through many different creative avenues, such as writing, art, poetry, music, and lyrics. Others may find their calling is lightwork, and may find themselves in professions helping others deal with emotional pain.

Becoming more aware through meditation, and close observation will help tremendously in decifering which emotions belong to you and which ones do not.

Having a creative outlet to release all those emotions is imperative for coping with all the emotion you may take in during a day's time. Explore and find the outlet that is right for you and helps you release best. Through doing that, you will find the area you are to use your gift in service to others.
