Every one of us has psychic ability - it is something that we are born with and usually
forget how to use it as we grow up. We are constantly encouraged both at school and
at work to analyse and question how something works and if we cannot understand the
reasons why then we often dismiss things, sometime out of hand. It is however possible
to connect with those early natural abilities once again and that is necessary if
you are looking to take a more active role in the Spiritual world that we are all
a part of. This section will help find out how best to understand and develop your
own abilities, and there are a number of methods of achieving your own personal development.
Typically, these can include joining a development circle, attending workshops, taking
a development course, or even having one to one personal tuition to kick start you.
In reality it will probably be a combination of these which will benefit you the
most. More information can be found on these by clicking on the buttons below.
Developing Effectively
One of the most important part of starting your development will be that of managing
your expectations. I have known so many people that have taken far longer than they
needed to develop themselves, or have even been dissuaded altogether from continuing,
by comparing themselves to either professional mediums or their peer group. Indeed,
I have experienced this with my own development.
When I started upon my own development path I joined a meditation circle. This comprised
of approximately 10-12 individuals being led by a medium on a guided meditation,
usually one with vivid and colourful visualisations. There would then follow each
member of the group replaying their experiences to the circle as a whole and receiving
an interpretation from the medium. I would do my best to relax and follow the visualisation
as described but my experience never seemed to be as strong as many of the others,
or so it seemed. This, naturally, led me to believe that I was maybe not as gifted
as them.
The reality was, at that time, that visualisation was not my strength - my natural
abilities are clairsentience and clairaudience. I was not aware of this however and
it took me a while before I realised that I should not compare myself, or try to
be like, others. This also extends to the professional mediums who appear to have
far greater gifts than the rest.
