That little voice in your head that tells you to take a
certain route, you know the one you ignore just before you make a decision to
ignore it only to get into a traffic jam later. That feeling that tells you to
choose a certain colour paint for your room only to be shoved aside while you end
up with the completely wrong shade on your wall. And the one that tells you
that it's time to check your emails as there might be something important and
urgent, the one you dismiss, only to realise days later that you missed out on
a certain important message from mum and she was expecting your reply days ago.
Yepp, that's your poor, much overlooked intuition aka gut feeling that we disregard
and completely overlook when making decisions, only to end up with regret and
thoughts of "should have listened to my instincts".
That niggling feeling, that tightening in your stomach, that
knowing, just knowing, that faint, yet very distinct signal is within reach to
each and every one of you. There is no reason why you shouldn't be able to fine
tune it like a delicate instrument of guidance. And it is the one key to aid
you in the development of a solid foundation for confident psychic work and
mediumship. Here are some simple exercises with minimum or no expenditure that
you can use either with some friends or on your own to get you started.
1.
Zener cards are very easy to come by nowadays.
Get yourself a pack to do this exercise. Familiarise yourself with the shapes
on the cards. Shuffle for a few minutes. Lay the deck on table face down. Pick
a card while keeping it face down. Separate it from the deck. Focus on the
card, may even out your hand over it if you like. The trick to it is not to
attempt to guess what the exact shape on the card is. Go for information such
as types of angles, curves, similar shapes in everyday objects etc. Draw if you
can or write some notes if that works better for you. Give yourself a time limit
with each card. I find that 5 minutes works well. Do a few cards per sitting.
Don't be discouraged if you don't get the shape right straight away. This is an
exercise where you have the opportunity to learn patience and how to associate
objects and shapes with eachother.
2.
A variation on the Zener cards is to work
backwards so to speak. Make a spread of the cards with neat rows and columns,
face down. This just makes it easier to keep track of this exercise. Pick the
shape you want to find. Scan the grid of cards or hold your above the cards as
you move from row to row while you keep the image of the wanted shape in focus.
When you feel like you have picked the card with your shape on it, just stop
and ask yourself, if that's the right card. Pay attention what your gut feeling
tells you. Turn over the card you had in mind. With practice you will start
pulling out the wanted card or at least come very close in the vicinity. This
will teach you how to read yourself and will help you develop your confidence
more.
3.
This exercise might be a little more fun for
some and can even be practiced while doing something else. In fact, a primary
activity is strongly encouraged. Put the radio on while doing housework, in the
shower, cooking etc. Have a guess at what band will play next. What the next
song will be, what it will be about. Even what the next commercial is. Again,
this will help with your confidence while having fun as well as with short term
prediction.
4.
Collect pictures of celebrities from magazines and
cut them out. Don't worry, this isn't going to turn out to be some creepy
stalker fantasy! You will need about 20-25 pictures for this. Put them into
sealed and non-transparent envelopes. Make sure you can't see any of the pics
through the envelope. Mix up the envelopes and pull one out randomly. Without
opening it, keep your mind's focus on the envelope and the picture in it. Pay
attention to what images, sounds, feelings come to you. The trick to this one
is, again, not to guess who is in the picture but to get deeper information
that is not readily represented in the photo. Go for attributes like mood,
location, action etc. This can be quite fun as you will try to validate the
information you've received by searching in the tabloids for the antics of your
favourite celebrities.
Of course the main goal is to have fun while you fine tune
your intuition. There is no competition and the more of the above activities
you do, the stronger your psychic muscles will become. You don't need to have
the desire to read for other people or appear as a stage psychic, but simply
just perfect this built in guidance system we all have is a good enough reason
to give this a go.
