Be prepared to talk about it next Friday.

Developing psychic skills intro and meditation 1. Everyone has the capability of some sort of psyonics. It is a natural part of you, and while it does not make up every fiber of your being, their development is a direct reflection of your attitude in life. Cultivating openness in life will be an important part of helping you to grow psychically. 2. Psychic gifts are manifestations of life: as movement, as forms of energy, as reaching out to other life forms and reaching out to natural energy. Those who are connected more with nature will connect more with their psychic capabilities and can become more highly psychic. Magickal and religious training cultivates this connection. *Why do you think the connection to nature heightens this connection? 3. We are all a part of the bigger picture, often times the image is so large it is difficult to see the whole picture. One simple, small piece of the puzzle changes and, globally, it makes a huge difference. It is called the butterfly effect. This happens amongst psychics as well. One flap of a psychics wings can have substantial effects on another source a thousand miles away. *How do you think psychics affect other psychics? Do you think it helps or hinders? Energy is affected in much the same way. Psychic energy, physical energy, magickal energy, thoughtforms, sound energy, color energy, chakra of body energy, and psychism are all part of the threads in the fabric of the universe.

4. Energy is energy is energy is energy. All energies are closely related. They are all a vast web of inner connections, entwined, complex pulses like the heartbeat of the ALL they are all part of one great big ball of energy we call the universe, universal energy, the macrocosm and the microcosm (the idea that you connect with the universe, or deity and that the universe connects with you). 5. Accessing one type of energy is not that different from acquiring other forms. It is the capability of opening another type of eye to the possibilities we did not think or try before. *How do you draw your psychic energies? Do you use a focus tool? How do you focus? 6. Even an Adept can tap into new and unexplored energies. People become adept as their knowledge and experience grows. The doubt leaves them and they start to connect more intimately. 7. The biggest block we run into as we are trying to develop psychic connections, is self doubt. Learning to remove these self destructive patterns of doubt, clear them away allows us to realize we are all but one energy within the divine and the universe and it lies within us. We are all connected. We are part of the collective conscious, we are all independent and unique, but part of the whole energy makeup. Some would say that telepathy occurs when we are most relaxed, and some when they are almost asleep. This is called dreamscaping or telepathy while dreaming. It makes sense if you think about it; your brain is a very complex piece of machinery. It can produce millions of stimuli, body functions, perception of thought forms all at the same time. Think for just a moment, outside the box,

energy ebbs and flows like tides, but lets pretend its linear like cable for a moment. When I lived in Stockton, CA, we rented a place in a monetarily challenged area Not everyone was able to afford cable. One would pay for it and cables would be strong from house to house, three deep on both sides of the street, getting the same stolen cable. The more info passed through the cables, the weaker the signal got, the fuzzier the picture got. Our brain functions sort of the same way. The bodys functions run at a different energy pace while we are at motion than when we are at rest, thus allowing for energy to be diverted to other areas like healing, astral travel, or in this case, telepathy through dreaming. Create as stronger energy vibration by learning to control the flow of energies, to manifest and banish those energies at will, to open you up like a satellite or an antennae to receive and send information. The first stage in learning how to control and manipulate those energies is to cleanse and let negativity go. Second is to focus on receiving and sending information psychically, practice with it and lastly, remove doubt. Doubt is a killer of psychic energy. * Do you feel you have blocks? What sort of blocks have you/must you learn to get passed? 8. Many do not believe because it is not inherently tangibleyou cant easily put your hands on or solid evidence. However, just because it is hidden does not mean it does not exist. Atoms are tiny and cannot be seen by the naked eye. At one point in time, the modern medicine did not have x-ray machines or autopsies to show you the insides of the body. Many of the higher brain functions are still a mystery. *Why is belief so important?

9. The stars in the sky must have seemed such a mystery to the Paleolithic man. They hide during the day and at night, they shine brightly. They did not have the means to look into a telescope to gain a better understanding, but knew enough to be able to chart stars by it. At one point in time, the world was thought to be flat. They did not have the means to truly understand that the world was round. Does it mean that these things do not exist? NO! It simply means that you have to bring it into another light. In this case, the light is consciousness. Consciousness is just another form of energy, the All exists within us and we exist within the ALL, These concepts are not so foreign to us, we are all part of the same cosmic fabric and as such, we are all subject to the same kinds of rules in the universe, we are all the same energy, thought, soul, color time, space, spirits and entities. 10. It stands to reason that if we are individual parts making up the cosmic fabric in an immeasurable universal quilt, why should we not be able to connect and read concepts from someone else, somewhere else, in another plane of existence, from another time as vividly as we see our own concepts, thoughts etc? 11. Most people are psychic in some fashion, it is not that uncommon. Rather, most people have the capability to unlock or tap into this limitless potential energy. Developing psychic muscles are much the same as lifting weights the more you use them, the stronger they become. You have to train your mind to focus on the unknown to make it known. You have to train and feed it to help it grow.

*Do you feel it is important to train and why or why not? 12. Reaching out to other persons in the community fosters an understanding of psychic awareness. You can start by practicing with a partner. Focus on a shape, color or number; you should start small. Try to project that information to your partner and see if he or she receives it. Sometimes, it may take a while until the information is passes accurately from host to partner and back, again. This is called telepathy. It is the art of mind reading or seeing inside someones minds eye.

13. Commonalities may seem to plague you at first. You man see so many connections that it may make it hard to focus on the most important ones. Journal them, sift through them all and decide which ones seem most important. Connect with this kind of energy. You may journal something that seems like absolute gibberish and ten years later, go back and read it, again and find the connection. It isnt all that uncommon.

14. There are no coincidences in this universe, everything happens for a reason. No two paths cross without a reason. Look for them. Why are you here, right now? What put you here to study with us tonight? Your own personal road in life led you here. These patterns exist not only between friends and family, but between total strangers, sometimes. How many times does something need to occur before it becomes a pattern?

15. Some suggestions on trying to use these muscles are: Find several partners to play if you can. Another game you can try is finding a place where you can sit away from a partner where you sit and people watch. You should be relatively close and be in a public place where at least some traffic is walking through. Try to gauge what kind of person they are, where they have been, what they are going to do next. What is their story? Journal your findings as the people pass by. Compare and contrast with other psychic who are trying to play the same game. Were there any of the same people picked out of the crowd by your fellow psychics? If there was enough people to provide a mixture to choose from, did you tend to choose the same people or were you drawn to totally different people.

16. The idea is to make connections. Were the observances based on sociology or social conditioning (such as judging by clothing, stride, mannerisms or the way in which one speaks) or was it a more personal intuitive reading? The idea is not to get so hooked up on trying to make those connections, but to have fun with it and not to take it so seriously that you block yourself if you dont connect the way you think you should on the first try. Remember, all of us have bad days and good days. Sometimes emotions can block you completely you have to take the time to work through your perplexing feelings and remove those blocks. 17. As a solo game, you can try taking any deck of cards and start by focusing on one particular suit, shuffle and deal them all face down and run your hand over the cards until you feel you have found the suit. Once you have the suits down, try to narrow it to a number like 10 and find all the tens, and so own down to the exact

number and suit you choose. Keep trying, as this may not happen over night. More than likely, it will take a considerable amount of time learning to direct and detect specific energies. 18. Reaching from deep within. Personal power greatly magnifies these connections. 19. Time is a concept in this plane, the world of the psyche is not bound by the time limitations of the material world. Reading information does not necessarily mean you are wrong, it can mean that you are looking at another time frame. *Some Psychic Abilities:
