Psychic powers – Can they be developed?
A subject that is close at heart is “psychic powers”. Have you met a psychic? Consulted him/her about your life? It is normal these days and back in my youth we used to visit an old woman living outside the village. She was know to have psychic powers and many also went to her to communicate with dead relatives. I have been thinking much about her powers and if she was born with it or if it was something she could develop through the years.
The term psychic refers to people possessing extrasensory perceptions or to their proficiency to observe information which is usually hidden to the ordinary senses. This word is a derivative of the Greek word – psychikos which means ‘mental’ or ‘of the mind’.
Develop Psychic Powers
I’m sure most of you, like me, are fascinated with psychic powers. My interests in psychic powers led me to gather more information on it. I read that H.P Blavatsky in her magazine ‘Lucifer’ (1988) had written, “Yet this (psychic) power is latent in all men, and could, in time, be wielded by anyone who would cultivate the knowledge and conform to the conditions necessary for its development.”
Encouraged by this I read more on how to develop one’s psychic powers. Here’s what I know.
First of all you are to believe that psychic powers are not inherited. It is a latent power that exists in all, not only in psychic families. This is nothing more than any other human ability and can be easily awakened. ‘Practice makes perfect’ is a proverb that can be aptly quoted for developing psychic powers. For this, meditate everyday and tell yourself that you are a psychic. Maintain a positive attitude throughout the exercise and BELIEVE YOU CAN. This is like training a mind to mould into and tap your psychic potentials. Imagination is also a very important tool. Envision every task you do in your mind’s eye. When faced with any problem relax and close your eyes and envision the problem and its possible solutions and their outcomes. This task may seem simple but the power is enormous. To relax, visualize that all negatives around you are being removed. Clear your mind to focus on the problem at hand. This will take practice to perfect, and so repeat this as many times as you can.
Try to be more sensitive to your surroundings. Lie awake with your eyes closed every morning and try to use your other senses in observing the surrounding around you. Be aware of the multitude of sounds and tastes, feelings and textures around you. It is important that you relax and understand the importance of this exercise.
Usually it will be difficult to bring control into these thoughts and to remain focused during such mediations. Instead of trying to control such thoughts, let it free. Pay attention to random thoughts also. It is better if you carry a journal with you at all times. Jot down such thoughts.
Dreams are another way of entering the Psychic world. Pay attention to your dreams. Remember dreams by waking up 10 minutes prior to the usual wake up time and try to recall them. Waking up suddenly and getting ready for the day in a hurry will let you forget what happened in your dreams. Jot down your dreams also and over a period of time, you might see a pattern.
As you start practising this every day, you will be able to notice changes in you. Try guessing who is calling when the phone rings or door is knocked. If you don’t get it right, do not worry. Perseverance is the key to success. As you become well versed in the above mentioned techniques, you can progress to other psychic abilities as Clairvoyance, telepathy etc.
