Rules For Practicing Your Psychic Senses

When you choose to develop psychic awareness, you need to develop a healthy respect for the rules of the road. These include psychic etiquette, grounding and meditation.

Let's try some basics about psychic etiquette.

1. If they don't ask: you don't tell. If you are new to psychic development, you are probably very excited and want to share every psychic insight as it comes to you. Don't. If someone doesn't ask for a psychic insight then don't share it. You aren't responsible for giving the Universe wisdom 24/7 - that's why there are 6 billion people on earth - many sources available to people.

2. Just because someone asks for psychic information doesn't mean you have to answer. You are not a human vending machine, always available to psychically answer people's questions. Sometimes people may put pressure on you to answer their questions. If you are tired or just don't feel like answering their question...this is a sign you shouldn't.

3. Psychics are never 100%, only the Divine/God is. This is one of the most important keys of psychic development. You may have some true flashes of insight that amaze you and your family and friends. But remember that no psychic is ever 100% accurate. Stay humble and keep your ego out of the way as you do psychic work.

4. Don't use your psychic ability to say when someone is going to die. Now there are psychics who will disagree with me on this one, and that's okay. I say it is a really bad call. Someone who is concerned about their health should see a doctor or a psychiatric counselor to talk about death. Your prediction may make them feel better temporarily - but could have them ignore a serious illnes. Or it could have them feel they are at Death's door when all is well.

5. Everyone is psychic, it doesn't make you magical, special or different. There are some who seem to stand a little straighter as they proclaim, "I'm psychic!" and to this I would say "so is everyone else!" Everyone has psychic ability to a certain degree. Bragging about your psychic ability is like bragging about your sense of smell - seems kind of dumb.

6. Ignore people who want to "test" or goad your psychic abilities. Sometimes when others hear you have an interest in psychic development, they'll demand a reading to "prove" your abilities. You owe these people nothing. Doing these readings often puts you under undue pressure and is not ideal for your best psychic awarness. Also this type of person is just looking to trip you up -- and basically wants to start a fight. The best thing to do when someone wants to start a fight? Smile and walk away.

Using Grounding to Improve Psychic Awareness

Many that have psychic abilities soon discover just how ungrounded they are. They are spending so much time trying to "tune in" that they simply aren't connected with the Earth. This is a serious mistake as you are leading an Earthly existence and will do well to connect yourself to this planet. Your psychic awareness will also improve with grounding. Try these grounding tips for success:

• Imagine yourself sending roots from your feet before doing any psychic awarness work. This is a great grounding exercise.
• Do some grounding things daily. Try baking bread or gardening. Working with your hands is ideal for grounding work.
• Exercise is an excellent way to ground yourself. A yoga practice or even just walking will certainly ground you.

Use Meditation to Improve Your Psychic Awareness

Meditation is one of the best ways to increase your psychic awareness. There is a saying that meditation is like listening to God as prayer is like talking to God. Add daily meditation to your psychic development work and watch your sensitivity to psychic awareness increase.

Beginners can start with just five or ten minutes of silent meditation. Sit comfortably with your spine straight in a cross-legged position. Focus on your breath and just release your daily thoughts.

Some think meditation has to be involved and complicated, meditation is very basic. You don't need a lot of tools or a fancy wardrobe to meditate.

An excellent way to meditate is using guided meditation CDs that lead you through a meditation. There are many different types.

Group meditation can also increase psychic energy. Just be conscious of the group you join and see if it is one that you feel comfortable with. Group energy is something that we are all sensitive to.
