How to Develop Your Psychic Abilities

Do you want to develop psychic ability? Do you already think you are psychic, but wish to develop your ability further? Do you want to develop abilities like John Edward? There are many techniques to develop your psychic abilities. In this article I will discuss a few.

The first thing you should be aware of when trying to develop your psychic ability is that you don't need to spend any money on classes or psychic kits. It is free to develop your psychic ability. The only reason why you would need to spend money to develop your psychic ability is if you want to buy a book or two on psychic development or the occult.

I have spent years trying to develop my psychic ability. I have read over twenty books on psychic development and there seems to be certain themes. The most important key to psychic develop is mediation. Many people wrongly associate meditation with the new age movement but meditation is a very old practice that has existed for many centuries. Well there are many mediation techniques; I think the best ones are the ones that bring about "Stillness of mind". "Stillness of mind" means to have an empty mind-to think of nothing.

This is a departure from most western techniques. Many western mediation techniques ask people to focus on one thing. I don't feel that focusing on one thing is good. You want to clear your mind so you give your initiation a chance to speak to you. This more closely resembles Eastern techniques of meditation. Now there are many ways to do this. Some individuals will tell you to focus on one object like a candle until your mind becomes clear. While I think this is a great way to mediate, I don't feel that it helps you completely clear your mind. Personally, I feel that holding an image in your mind can length the process. The best method I ever came across was from the book Modern Magick by Donald Michael Kraig. He suggests holding an image in your mind and then slowly watch the image fade away piece by piece.

Another important element of mediating to increase your psychic ability is to be mindful of your breath. This means that you should pay close attention to your breath. This is important in any magical or psychic act. Your breathing is a gateway to a different state of mind. This state of mind is what allows you to open up to your psychic self. One way of becoming mindful of your breathing is to count the seconds while you are breathing. For example you should inhale for 3 seconds, hold your breath 3 seconds and then exhale for 3 seconds. If you can't do three seconds, try two seconds. Try to work up to three seconds. It is okay if you feel a little weird-but don't allow yourself to pass out or become too lightheaded.

Remember everyone has a psychic potential and there is no need to give anyone money to develop your psychic ability, unless you would like to purchase a few books. Just keep on trying. Never give up because eventually you will find the right method.
