Psychic Abilities & Meditation

Meditation is often perceived as a difficult, boring, mindless task to complete in order to attain a more balanced and centered life. Mystics have known for centuries however, that meditation is much more than this. I believe that meditation is one of the keys to owning one's intuitive abilities and a way to achieve higher consciousness. It is said that prayers are a form of asking and meditation is a form of receiving or listening. To really utilitize intuition effectively a person must be able to receive or listen to the messages, spiritual guidance or symbols which they receive. It is for this reason, that I believe meditation is an empowering tool for owning personal power and receiving divine guidance. There are many ways to meditate and it does not have to be complex or unattainable. It only takes 10-20 minutes a day to sit silently in a quiet space or out in nature to calm the mind enough in order to begin seeing amazing results. When I first started meditating, I would gaze into a candle and this created a calming focus for me. I also find that spiritual music puts me easily into a heart centered space which is perfect for meditation. Since those early days I have become a teacher of the sacred merkaba techniques, which is a form of meditation based upon sacred geometry and pranic breathing. I have also studied the kabbalah and regularly utilize the pillar of light meditation which incorporates sound and light visualizations for consciousness expansion. I find these meditations to be powerful catalysts for soul growth and higher consciousness development on multi-dimensional levels. Just the same I have to admit that when I am out in nature, I often sit quietly after reaching a desired destination and soak up the healing vibrations of nature as a form of vibrational meditation. I have discovered that no matter how complex or simple the meditation the most truthful and clear divine guidance comes when the heart is fully open. So I believe the key to being a successful psychic reader with clear, truthful, loving guidance involves listening with an open heart. This involves setting aside the ego and tapping into that beautiful loving place inside with trust, gratitude and silence. The next time you are out in nature, try this experiment. Sit silently for ten minutes in a place where you do not anticipate being disturbed by other travelers or hikers. Close your eyes and listen to any of the sounds around you such as birds calling, wind whistling, rustling of bushes, airplanes, etc. Now notice any smells coming to you such as the scent of flowers, trees, plants etc. Now feel any sensations in your body such as the tickle of the wind, the warmth of the sun, goose bumps etc. After ten minutes open your eyes and write down all that you have felt, heard or smelled. This is natures way of communicating to you divine messages or guidance, and a way to practice listening or receiving. This exercise will strengthen your intuition, clear your energy field and align you to the frequency of mother earth's vibration.
