Ten Ways to Improve Your Psychic Abilities

Improving Psychic Ability

Kathleen Lynn
The following list is intended as a guide to help those who want to improve their psychic abilities. Psychic ability is available to anyone willing to work towards improving upon it. Some have a natural interest and aptitude at picking up on psychic awareness. This article is aimed at both the ameutur and the professional, there are tips everyone can use that will improve the success of this natural ability.

1. Use your gift as much as possible. As with any talent or gift within a human, when unused it becomes rusty. A runner that does not run often will find themselves slower over time. A musician does not let his insturment sit in a corner hidden and ignored. He plays it daily to improve upon his music. The same holds true with our mind and those gifts. We must find ways to use them as often as we can so that they do not diminish from being unused or untrained.

2. Exercise your mind daily. Find a simple mind exercise that you can use to improve your gifts. For example: In the morning as you drink your first cup of tea or coffee, close your eyes and envision your day. In the evening, see if you were correct about the events that happened. Or perhaps, try and find a number that seems to suit your intution as lucky. Use it on a few things or watch the lottery results (don't neccessairly spend a lot of money playing the lottery) and see if your number appeared. See how often it is chosen and if it does in fact seem to represent a little more luck in your life. Find little ways to sharpen your skills by practicing. You don't have to be accurate about everything but over time, with exercises you will naturally improve your skills and notice a difference. Exercise and training the gift will make it much more reliable and useful.

3. Take your psychic gifts seriously. Some things are naturally funny but if you try to exercise your mind with the attitude it's a big joke that will never work, then you aren't entering into it with an open enough attitude to gain success. It doesn't have to be courtroom serious all the time, however, the attitude should be of one willing to advance a true gift not just a practical joke. You must have some level of serious belief in the processes for it to work properly.

4. Read and make use of the materials you encounter reading. There is no shame in reading about tarot or runes before trying them. Learn everything you can about various mediums. Then when you use these, you increase your chances at success. Reading about all of the ways a psychic gift is used may give you ideas and ways to improve upon your own. Even a simple study of dreams may prove to be invaluable in terms of psychic ability. A lot of psychics experience things in the unconscious state of dreaming that they do not while awake. It is because in dreamland the mind is free to be itself, we are not limiting it with our thoughts and manipulations. In sleep the mind is allowed the freedom to wander and dance wherever it happens to enjoy itself at the moment.

5. Start with easy things, entertain your friends with free tarot readings. Friends are a great source of practice if you are interested in things like tarot, palm readings, runes, etc. Most of your friends will be intrigued and excited to give you a chance to improve your craft. It can also lift a quiet, boring party and change the mood of the guests. It can help you make new friends and get to know other people that enjoy the same things you do.

6. Participate in a forum or group that practices various methods of psychic giftedness. Being around others interested in learning and using their gifts will offer you advice and encouragement on your journey to improve these abilities. Talking to others like yourself, will also give you new ways to excersise and use the abilities daily.

7. Relax and de stress daily. It is very hard to use any psychic ability when the mind is muddled with all the stresses and problems of daily life. Think of a drain once it is clogged, and how slowly water will go down that drain until it stops compeletely. Open the drains of your mind. Don't clog the mind and then wonder why the use of psychic medium is not happening for you. Use mediation, yoga, or techniques similar in clearing the mind so that the psychic gift will become clear and easy to discern.

8. Allow your spiritual body to connect with your mind and emotions. Put all three areas of your life into a balance where they can feed off each other and perform at their best. Do not neglect the physical needs of your body and expect your mental awareness to stay sharp. If your body is hungry or hurting your mind will focus on those things rather than upon what you want it to focus on. Take care of yourself, so that your gift can naturally happen.

9. Use a journal to record various spiritual contacts you have made. Reading those and remembering will keep your mind focused and open to new contacts. This can also be useful if you feel like most of your ability is occuring in your dreams. When you record your dreams it becomes much easier to focus on what they are saying. It also becomes easier to use research to determine common dream interpretations and realize the message that way.

10. Enjoy the study of the psychic world. You must have fun and enjoy what you are doing for it to work the best. If one doesn't enjoy these experiences then nothing will work to keep them at their best performance. Earlier we mentioned musicians and runners and other athletics, when you talk to those who are successful with those talents they will all say to some degree they had a passion for their choices. Writers are driven by a passion to write, the same is true of the psychic. They must have a passion and enjoy the usage of their gifts for them to achieve true success.
