In this lesson we will cover ways in which you can begin to practice developing the psychic senses. You may choose which exercise within this lesson you would like to work on first, but for now please work on only one at a time so that you can retain complete focus. This lesson may take you several weeks and should be used in conjunction with the activities you are practicing from the previous lessons. My goal is to get you to incorporate all of these things slowly but surely until they become as old habit..
First things first before beginning any exercise here make sure to do your protection exercise covered in the previous lesson. If you skipped it, go back and review it ;).
**NOTE** All of these abilities will be covered more in-depth in the next part of the book where there will be more exercises etc. but for now please start with these only.
Developing Clairaudience:
Often learning to distinguish the voices of our guides from our own inner voice is difficult. This exercise will work on gradually learning to make this distinction.
What we want to do first is the protection mentioned above. Once you are ready to begin express to your Guide that you want to begin to learn to hear their messages. You are going to begin using yes and no questions, simple ones that you both know the answers to. Ask the question and listen to your own inner voice, and the voice of your guide as he/she answers. At first you may have a difficult time distinguishing this, that's alright. This takes practice so just stick with it.
Continue to do this as often as you are able, for a few minutes a day until you are comfortable in your ability to distinguish yourself from your Guide. Remember not to get antsy and try to jump ahead before you are ready ;). Spirit is happy to go through this learning process with you and the growing pains are part of the territory... you will get there so don't get discouraged if it doesn't happen right away .
Developing Clairvoyance:
Begin by using your protection ritual.
Once you are relaxed and ready to begin state your intention to your Spirit Guides and let them know that it is your intention to learn to develop second sight.
Come to a state where you are completely relaxed and request that they show you symbols... whatever pops into your mind first take note of it. What is it? what does it look like? how does it make me feel? Take mental note and after you are done with practice write them down.
Another method to this exercise is to get a symbol of your own... I will use a strawberry for my example. As you pull the image of the strawberry into your minds eye begin to pay attention to the details. What does it look like? What makes it distinctive? If you could touch this how would it feel?
Using your "imagination" in this manner helps you to exercise your sense of second sight. Showing you how to look deeper into the images in your mind.
Once you have practiced these methods for awhile and are comfortable in your abilities you may move onto the final lesson where you will take a journey and meet with your spirit guide.
Developing Clairsentience:
There are more exercises on developing this later on, for now I want you to concentrate on paying attention to your feelings more closely in general.
During the day take notes of any times that you feel a "mood change" and see if you know why? How do you feel when you are in certain places? Have you ever
walked into a place and had a strong feeling? what was it? Spend time getting to know your own feelings, learning to distinguish what is "yours" from what you may be picking up
from others. Many Many empaths have no idea that they are clairsentient... they often pick up on moods and feelings, even disease, and don't know where it came from. Ask yourself
have I ever had a sudden shift in mood or sudden illness that I couldn't tell where it came from? Try to recall who you were around and where you were prior to this.
Spend some time documenting these things in your journal. This will help your development later on.
