Meditation And Psychic Abilities
Meditating To Increase Intuition
Aug 13, 2009 Janis Masyk-Jackson
Meditation offers numerous benefits in many different aspects of life. For some participants, it's a way to relax and unwind after a busy day. For others, meditating is a way to increase health and well-being. Yet, for some people, it's a path to spiritual growth.
Meditation is also associated with communication with angels and spirit guides, a way to recall past lives, aligning the chakras, (the so-called energy points in each person's body,) out of body experiences, (OBEs,) and the ability to increase psychic abilities.
Increasing Psychic Abilities With Meditation
One of the goals of meditation is to successfully clear one's mind and get rid of all of the distractions of the day. Once focused, it is alleged that an individual can access their intuitive side through the energy of the chakras within the body. This especially holds true in regards to the third chakra, which is also known as the psychic or third eye.
Some of the psychic abilities associated with meditation include telepathy, (the ability to read the thoughts of another individual,) clairvoyance, (the capacity of being able to see things that are not normally within one's vision capabilities,) and precognition, (the skill of being able to foretell future events.)
Getting Answers To Questions Through Meditation
Certain participants in meditation believe that they can have questions psychically answered while meditating. The idea is that when the mind is cleared of everyday thoughts, the energy in an individual raises and leads the way to access intuitive information. This can be in the simple form of asking a yes or no question, then waiting to psychically receive the answer.
A Psychic Meditation
The beginning of this meditation follows the usual meditation format. Start by sitting in a chair with the back straight and the feet on the ground, (unless preferring to meditate while sitting on the floor.) Close your eyes and begin taking long, deep breaths. If possible, try to slow the breathing process to 4-6 breaths per minute. Clear your mind. Should it start to wander, bring it back and focus on breathing.
Now, envision a "yes" or "no" question within your mind. Fully concentrate on the question. For some people, a gut reaction occurs and the answer becomes clear very easily. For others, the use of symbols helps to convey the answer.
For example, one could choose to have a certain color flower indicate the answer. Seeing a white flower while meditating on a yes or no question could stand for yes, while seeing a black flower could stand for no.
The Accuracy Of Psychic Abilities
Although the idea of accessing psychic abilities while meditating may sound appealing, it is important to stress that not all psychic information is accurate, just as not every psychic is accurate. In fact, there never has been any psychic that has had a 100 percent accuracy rate. Meditation can help develop psychic abilities, but it isn't foolproof.
As of now, scientists in the field of parapsychology are still gathering evidence for the existence of psychic abilities. Most parapsychologists believe these abilities exist. However, the various abilities involved have not all yet been scientifically proven.
While meditating and trying to increase one's own psychic abilities, keep in mind that, like any other talent, these abilities are something to be practiced over time and only with practice, will these abilities increase. Although it may be frustrating in the beginning if nothing is happening, if dedicated, in time some kind of increase to one's intuitiveness should occur.
