Opening Psychic Abilities???

[lunaspirit]

Hello to All,

I would like to open and expand my psychic abilities!
I was wondering what the best way is to do this?

I have done Reiki since 95', meditated, wicca, read all kinds of books and took alot of classes, etc. I have done all kinds of things. I feel I do work with my guides.

I live in Ohio, an hour north of Columbus!
Is anybody close that I could work with?

Thank You in advance,

LunaSpirit

Sorry I am in Australia, and also on the search to do the same.
I have been told your local spiritualist church may be able to help. Apparently they have a learning circle you can join and develop your abilities from there.
I am going to try my local one out in a couple of weeks, After easter. Will keep you posted and let you know what its all about.

Hi Dancingbear,

Thanks for responding! To bad we don't live in the same place we could go together! There is a church about an hour from me, but they get into to much religion for my liking.
It is a good idea though and I do appreciate it!

Yes, please let me know how it goes for you!

Yeh!! I am worried about the religious overtures. I will not continue if this is the case. I have been told of an online course. I am yet to have a squiz, It has been recommended to me!! When I get the link I will Pm you with it. Maybe we could do the course together online. One thing i am worried about is the costing so will check this out also. Hopefully it is free, as it should be

good luck with everything and will Pm soon


Love and light

I rang around today and found out there are spiritual groups rather than spiritual churches. The groups are different and hold workshops and all sorts( no religious overtures ). I have booked myself into a Fire Meditation class on the 25th this month. apparently it helps connect with spirit and helps also of course centre yourself and all that. I am intrigued I have never done a fire Meditation.

They also have Reiki Classes I would love to learn. My sister is learning in the UK and she loves it. I can't be left out LOL!!! So i am seeking classes now. Hehehehe!! My hubby can't keep up neither can i sometimes LOL!!!

Will keep you posted with more... as i discover it ok!!

Yes and a huge shame we dont live closer.
Doesnt matter though we can share and and learn in here also!!

Hmm..Thank you, Dancingbear, you inspired me to look for some spiritual gatherings in my area too. I've been wanting to learn reiki for a while now! Ah well, I'll get around to it when I'm ready. Anyway, I know that there are pagan gatherings going on all the time. For some reason, I don't feel comfortable going to those. I don't actually consider myself full-pledged pagan, whatever that means. I don't have any particular beliefs on the deities, even though I do believe in Great Spirit and that there are feminine and masculine energies...Anyway, good luck with your search!

[lunaspirit]

Dancingbear,

I'm glad you found the fire meditation...it does sound very interesting. I have never done one either, so please do let me know about it! I wish we did live closer, because I am a Reiki Master Teacher and I could attune people to Reiki.
It is wonderful!

I have found a animal communicator not far from me that gives classes, so I have always had a love of animals and wanted to talk to them. I feel I am going to do this to open up myself to Spirit and also I would like to do past life healing regressions. She does both!

Yes, please let me know about this course!
My friend last night told me that to open to Spirit you have to surrender your ego and be an instrument. Not feeling like you have to prove anything. So that really made sense.

Blessings to you both: Dancingbear and Lena,

hi there lunaspirit, I would have to agree with your friend about letting go of ego in order to get closer to our spirits..
Ive been known to ignore the mundane life and close myself off to the world in order to get closer to my own spirit, however I have found lately that ineracting more with life/people/job etc..and trusting myself is much more effective than shutting the world out..funny I also thought it was silence that let me know "me"
I have learned more about me in the last six months since I started opening up more than ever before..that perhaps spirit is everywhere in everything, where consciousness can absorb it all, does this make any sense?lol
I see life as the internet, and if we choose to reach out to more we can at any time it is always available to us.

thanks Dancing bear for helping out and lena I am like you in the way I don't feel comfortable going to the pagan gatherings around my house..I just can't commit to all of their beleifs because I do not agree with alot of it, however I do agree with some..but everytime I went to the local pagan chat, they did nothing to make me feel welcomed..to me that is basicly saying sorry you don't belong here or we don't know if we yet aprove of you..which is to me something I would see going on at a local church..and I see the pattern of religion in paganism alot these days...just turns me off I guess.

[Lena]

Hi LunaSpirit,

You sound like you've done so many wonderful things already that develop your psychic abilities, and there are still so many different topics to explore. Past life healing is fascinating. I just watched a documentary on it. I went to a hypnotherapy workshop once, but my attempt to find out about my past life didn't seem to generate any results. Maybe I'm one of those people, who can't be hypnotized...

Surrendering your ego seems to be a great advice, the hard part is to implement it Don't bother me ego, go away...hahaha. I've been trying to listen more lately and make myself quiet, instead of actively doing something in meditation, for example, energy work.



P.S. I just saw Ronni's post. Yeah, I agree that activity and opening up to outer world is important too!! There definitely needs to be a balance between inner and outer experiences. The only way to stop being afraid of something is to experience it.

[animal]

Hey, yup I agree, groups are only groups if they are built in acceptance and love. I think when people are judgemental, and non-accepting, it is beacuse of their past. Since we are our experiences, and many pagans/whoever have been rejected, that is what they project as well. To be open and trusting is difficult. Trust takes experience I suppose, to develop, and is nice when it is formed. Sometimes, it even takes deception to form trust... Odd, the world is.

Thanks again everyone!!!

[Dancing Bear]

Well today new revelations. I spoke to the lady who ran the spiritual group for 15 years and it no longer exsists. BUT!!! i am meeting with her this friday to talk about what is going on in and around my city, and see where i can go to get help etc.... WHen i did chat to her, i told her my experiences when reading the Palm and when i see spirit etcc.. and since I've started to open up and explore I have been seeing bright balls of light going past me... I am just so excited

Another step closer to start seeing Spirit materialise..WOOHOOO!!!! I only see them in dreams and in the minds eye so far, No less important but restrictive to a point.
Anyway I have gone way off the beaten track here. When i was talking to this lady She told me of only one other person she knew of that saw and recaived what i did.!! I was shocked!! I thought because i am not trained as such there are bound to be people more in tune than me. Apparently not!! Opened my eyes greatly!!
Talk about letting go of Ego. LOL!!!

Yes I agree the more you give of yourself and are in tune with the Great Spirit of things We become more in tune with our inner and outer realities. I found everything became so clear, and find i am overlooking things now rather caught up in the thick of things. If you know what I mean! But am certainly ignorant of all that goes on, But just choose to react what i feel needs it.

I am finding If I spend time being in tune with the lives of people I love and try helping out subtly with Love, Keep in tune with nature, In tune with my gift of Art, and continuously work on my inner healing of Forgiveness and Love, I have so much to give others and do give.
I am finding it hard not to react when i am given a wide berth at times. I really need to become more understandiong of ignorance. Rather thinking they are snotty!! LOL!! Im human !!

Lena I am glad we were a source of inspiration, Good luck on your journey and dont foprget to keep us all informed on your progress. We all may be on different journey's and at different stages, But hey it so nice to Share!! Big Plus I'm Nosey!! Hehehe
Luna Spirit I LOve animals and would love to communicate with them, I understand them but to talk to them WOW!! How lucky are you to have that opportunity.. It would have been nice to learn Reiki from you, MAybe it is not my time as yet to learn. One day I will though! I have recently had a past life reading and we both channeled the same spirit, An absolute eye opener and a complete life changer. I have concepts and views now I never dreamed i would have or even thought exsisted. And the funny thing is People thought I was Loopy before all this Now Im straight jacket material LOL!!!
I have discovered I have a guide that was my own past life incarnation. Hard to wrap the mind around, It was for me but once I understood it all I now understand how it works. I also discovered we have many guides in our lifetime , but we also have one or two main principle guides ( LIke Guardian Angels if you like) all the time overlooking and protecting. It really is a wonderful Journey to go on. I am learning to connect with Spirit and past incarnations through the Palm and Tarot at the moment. Obviously my visions play a major part. Good Luck and keep me posted in your progress.

Hello Lilacsky,

I totally agree with you! I just went for a Cranio appt. and found that my whole torso was missing when he did an energy scan. I knew this, because I had so missed what we can do on the other side that I wanted to go home and bring back the things we take for granted (like our psychic powers, etc.).
I hope you know what I mean!

I see that you are in Michigan, if I may ask: where are you located? I am an hour north of Columbus!

I also feel the same way about Pagan events! I do alot of spellwork on my own....I guess you could say I am a solitary witch...I think it is probably a trust issue also!

Boy, Lena...you said it right! Opening up is a balance within the world. I guess I get to impatient with my abilities...I want it now....LOL!!! I know it really comes in divine time when I am ready...the funny thing is that when I look back at things when I thought I was ready, now I see that I really wasn't...funny!!!

Maybe with the hypnosis, you just weren't relaxed enough or trusted the person that was doing it...trust is a big thing in hypnosis..I am certified in hypnotherapy, but haven't really done anything with it yet.

Surrendering ego is the hardest part....I keep saying: "I am not my emotions, I am free to be me"....LOL!!!

Animal...you are so right...trust is one of the biggest issues, along with letting and giving love!


Way to go, Dancingbear....keep those lights coming!
I have seen lights also and I know my spirit guide (Rebecca) is back with me again..I suppose when I went through some depression I told her I didn't need any help...LOL!!! Her light is lavendar....she was my mother in a past life and a few years ago, a spirit artist drew her picture for me...so cool!

Yes, I believe opening ourselves up to service of Spirit is one of the ways also....sometimes this can be hard too!
Everything sounds like things are coming together..I am so happy for you! I am so glad you were able to talk to someone and get some helpful conversation!

Thank You to all!

Love and Light,

Hello, Since i am fairly new here and only know a couple posters here i feel i should say a little, My main area of pratice is Kundalini,Alchemy,gnostic studies and eastern meditation. I use Reiki techniques when dealing with kundalini but im far from an expert.
Expansion of psychic abilities is best (from my experiance) when you mix a bit of science and mystical.Here is a link to 4 courses that are nine weeks and at your own pace. I truly believe that projection is one key to mystic expansion. If you cannot project you cannot study with others as much and you cannot meet our ancients(masters) that have a wealth of knowledge. I am like most of you here i am not into the extreme religous hoopla you have to go through unless it is a religion you truly like. But you have to understand that the seven keys to enlightenment are hidden in the many religions texts and teachings, the more of these you understand the further you will go. Gnostic is not a religion it literally means knowledge. If you are like me, as i believe most of you are, you are willing to do anything to advance and that includes putting up with someones religious beliefs. So here are the courses and i will warn you some of these people seem a little stuck up and one tracked. One starts on the 10th they are very much worth the effort. www.mysticweb.org/
There are two very important factors to mysticism one is (of course) proper meditation. The other is training yourself to use both sides of your brain and the middle as well (pineal gland area). Women and men use the exact opposite sides of the brain usually. If you can teach yourself to use both and channel energy to the middle brain as well this will give you ability far exceeding anything most can imagine.

Osiris,

Thank You...I will check out this website!

Cool I just loved reading everyones post here. Lunaspirit you have started something and it's great

My Guide at the moment is ASHA she is from originally the Indus Valley, back then it was India. Today it is part of PAkistan. She was 16 when she died and She is a past KArmic Soul Journey. It is where my Karmic Journey of Love and Forgiveness started. This lifetime is the last on those subjects. So everyone has rallied together in this lifetime to help me on my way. Including Asha.
I have 2 Permanent guides with me most of the time. They are North American Indian in looks and i beleive Spirit, A female and a male. I have been told several times by different people, and since i have developed I have been able to see them in my minds eye I have worked with them quite a bit and learning to put my trust in them,It probably shows why I am so in tune within shamanisn and earth Medicine. My trustin them Is like relinquishing Control and allowing myself to trust the Universe to take over and Trust my path. Very HArd sometimes especially when I like control . But I put trust into my
guides that they will protect me.Asha I have been able to channel with her. With Asha Her favourite Sari was Red and Gold and this is how she presents herself at times other times with a Pure white and Gold sari, But mainly red and gold. I was stunned when i discovered this. These are my favourite ever colours and my favourite Sarong is my red one. I know of at least 5 past incarnations and when i am ready to move forward I will find out more. Unless I dream or get flashes of another in the meantime, But i dont think that will happen until I am ready.

Anyways enough of my ramblings
I will post about my meeting on friday and let you knopw how I go.

Love and Light

[lunaspirit]

Thank You, Dancingbear....this is great fun and very informative!

I understand about that control thing...me too! Your path sounds so cool! I just love past life, my guides and the colors!

I just love your rambles...you just go right ahead and please yes, tell me about your meeting on Friday.....can't wait...wish I was going! Only if I could do out of body...I could be there with you.....LOL!!!

Keep me posted!

How did you originally find your guide dancing bear? Did you have to be astral first? I ask because ive heard that in deep states of meditation you can ask who your guide is and the name will instantly come to you. There are many helpers in the astral. Gaurdian angels, spirit guides, ancient masters, eck masters. It sounds like a wonderful place to be. I know for me its just a matter of time.

[Dancing Bear]

Edited to add; I have also heard in deep meditation sometimes your guides will present themselves to you. I have not experienced this myself but know of others who have. I dont think there are any hard and fast rules to it all. I believe when you ask to see them you will. It could come in any shape or form, something that you will understand. You may not see them in form for some time but they will make their presence known to you. And when you are ready you will see them in a dream, vision or whatever that is unique to you.You may be completely ready now.
I wish i had perfected this guide sketching already,When I do I will post up and see if I can do it over the net. It will be a big ask of the guides but in the Spirit realm there is no time or space so may not be impossible. Good Luck on your journeys.


I have been told about my own by other psychics. I never even thought to seek them out. Since knowing of them, ... I have seen them. I was told today a Guardian Angel/Guide I have his name is Micheal. He is my main Guide. I always saw a female too and still do. So maybe the psychic did not pick up on her. But my guide has asked for me to seek protection prayers that enable me my visions also. So am on the lookout.
I also sometimes when I am seeking an answer to do with the spiritual world I ask my guides to present themselves, before sleep so in my dreams they come or i can see them in my visions (minds eye)

I never even thought about guides exsisting at one stage in my life until I was over in New Zealand and went into an old spiritual shop and a funny little woman kept staring at me, I felt a tad uncomfortable, and kept looking up to see if she was still grinning at me. She was!! LOL!!
After all the unfortableness(dont think thats a word lol) I finally found want i wanted went up to the counter and this little lady went in behind the counter and still grinning, A bit weird, until she spoke and told me she was Sorry to make me feel uncomfortable but she went on to describe my guides and how Powerful they were and beautiful. How lucky I was to have 2 with me and they were North American Indian. Since then I have learnt as much as i could, about Angels, Guardian Angels, Guides, MAsters etc... I have only scraped the surface of it all and found it absolutely fasinating. I do not doubt for one minute that I have a Guide with me majority of the time. I have been told and I beleive that we all have 1 or 2 major Masters, Guardian Angels looking over Us and then throughout different stages of our lives Different guides pop in to help out, depending on need and inner journey that is happening.


I am also going to try to start sketching guides and see how i go, I have to practice on faces as I know how to do them but take forever to get it right. I would love to sketch peoples guide for them, what a great gift to give someone. Another of many projects LOL!!
